NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 41 Interesting National Live Broadcast ([-])
In the NBA, it is difficult for most coaches to change a player's playing style. After playing basketball for more than 10 years from childhood to adulthood, the technical style has long been finalized.

Those who can enter the NBA to play are mostly "Michael Jordan" among their peers. Unless they really can't get along, most players prefer to stick to themselves.

Jeff Van Gundy thought that Li You would compromise with the team and become a traditional guard similar to Charlie Ward.

But the facts proved that Li You didn't listen to his rookie coach at all, and still went his own way.
In the national live broadcast game against the 76ers, he shot consecutively at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, when the two sides rotated, Jeff Van Gundy gave a brief instruction and stopped saying anything.

The 76ers have a rotation of Doug Overton and Lucios Harris in the backcourt, Jerry Stackhouse and Michael Cage up front and Scott Williams at center.

In this rotation lineup, Mark Davis has become the absolute main attack point, but the rotation time is destined not to be too long. Johnny Davis will get back to the main lineup early in these few games.

Jeff Van Gundy has already entered the hang-up state at this time
Li You and Alan Houston partnered in the backcourt, John Wallace and Buck Williams were on the front line, and Herb Williams was the center.

With two veteran players, the Knicks' offense has completely shifted to the backcourt.
In the final stage of the first quarter, Li You scored 1 points in a row, and the two sides tied at 6:28.

In the second quarter of the game, the 2ers took the lead in attacking. Mark Davis made a breakthrough on the right flank outside the three-point line and hit the basket. The fans cheered for a while, and then shouted in unison:

"Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks!."

Li You didn't slow down after receiving the pass from the veteran Herb, but quickly dribbled across the half.

Seeing Li You's tactical gesture, Alan Houston immediately cut diagonally from the right wing beyond the three-point line, and quickly ran to the left corner without a chance.

The players on both sides had just completed their defensive positions, and veteran Herb directly stopped at the top of the arc and made a pick-and-roll for Li You.

FAST DEFEND Doug Overton notices Li You dribbles behind the back quickly after stopping, and immediately prepares to squeeze through the screen.

Li You, who switched to left-handed ball, slowed down, and the big man Scott Williams, who came out of the defense, thought of the coach's order and took the initiative to delay.

Just when the 76ers' defense was about to complete the encirclement, Li You suddenly pushed the ball quickly and changed direction, leaping forward, catching the ball with his right hand, and passing through the middle of the two big men in an instant.

Seeing the two defensive players of the 76ers collided, the fans at the scene followed and exclaimed.

Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, breaks into the paint and sees the opponent's big man Michael Cage defending him. He sways to the right as he advances, and then takes a large stride forward to the left.

Faced with Li You's sudden European step, Michael Cage froze in place, unable to make any defensive moves, and watched Li You lightly pick the basket.

"Oh!!"

The moment the basketball hit the basket, Madison Square Garden exploded. After three people in a row, the audience started to stand up and cheer.
Li You retreated quickly with a smile and gave the veteran Herb a high-five to celebrate. To complete such an attack, there must be enough space inside.

On the bench of the 76ers, Iverson looked at the showy Li You, threw away the towel and walked quickly to the sidelines, without the consent of the head coach, this guy was already waiting for the dead ball to play.
In the rotation lineup, the Knicks' inside defense dropped sharply. Scott Williams missed the inside attack, got the second basketball and scored the ball again.

Jeff Van Gundy wanted to get up and yell, but before he got to the sidelines, Li You was already close to the center line after he was about to serve the bottom line.

Mengxin-John Wallace ran desperately forward along the left sideline, and Alan Houston also accelerated his pace.

The former kept passing after approaching the three-point line and cut in quickly, while the latter stopped on the right wing outside the three-point line and waited for the ball.

Li You, who was advancing quickly with the ball in his right hand in the middle, also began to slow down when he was close to the top of the arc. He turned around and pretended to send the ball, and looked at Alan Houston.

Everyone in the 76ers team was also focused on the two players on the line, but Li You suddenly slammed the ball vigorously, hitting the ground and passing through the defense without looking at anyone.

John Wallace didn't dribble after receiving the ball, and rushed up to complete a one-handed dunk!
"what!!"

Mengxin yelled excitedly after completing the dunk. At 30:32, the Knicks scored quickly and took the lead again.

"I like to see this kind of game, seize the opportunity of transition attack, easy points!"

"Coach Van Gundy is supposed to hand the game over to the players sometimes, and that's a good thing for the Knicks!"

In the commentary booth at the scene, commentator John Andaris cryptically pointed out that Jeff Van Gundy had improperly employed people in the previous games.

The narrator Groom Albert didn’t want to talk too much on this topic, so he happily changed the subject:

"The 76ers defense didn't respond. Lee took his chance and passed the ball without looking at it. The boy fooled everyone!"

Mark Davis turned over in the left block position and hit the iron with a fallback jumper. After the new John Wallace made an interference, he turned around and got stuck, and quickly grabbed the rebound.

The 76ers, who had suffered several big losses, heard the loud shout of the head coach on the sidelines and quickly returned to defense.

After halftime, Li Youyun noticed that the opponent had completed the defensive position, and immediately made tactical gestures.

Alan Houston suddenly accelerated to move to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line near the baseline on the right side, and with the help of veteran Barker's cover, he easily got rid of the defense.

After receiving a pass from Li You at the right elbow, Alan Houston quickly made a jumper without making adjustments!
"state!"

The open space continued to hit the iron, the ball knocked out of the basket, the veteran Herb grabbed the offensive rebound, and immediately threw the ball to Li You who was outside the three-point line.

Seeing Li You sideways protecting the ball, the veteran Herb quickly walked to the three-point line to perform a pick-and-roll without saying hello.

The solid screen allowed Li You, who holds the ball in his left hand, to get rid of Doug Overton's defense smoothly.

The big man Scott Williams of the 76ers was about to delay his move, but he didn't expect that Li You just dribbled one step, and immediately joined the ball from outside the three-point line, making an emergency stop jump shot!

"Lee! For three! Yes!!"

The commentator Marv Albert subconsciously raised the volume, and the fans also cheered loudly.

Noticing that Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines didn't show much excitement, commentator John Andaris added cheerfully:

"Interesting offensive options, absolute confidence in his shot! Maybe that's why fans in New York love to watch Lee play."

After completing the goal, Li You called his teammates to retreat quickly, and at the same time reminded Alan Houston loudly:
"When the opportunity arises, continue to shoot!"

In the rotation lineup, the ball is in the hands of Li You, and he has the final say on what tactics to run.

It's just that the shooting feel is something that can only be seen sometimes. Mark Davis of the 76ers even made two irons. Looking back, Alan Houston also responded with two irons.

"Fake!"

The ball knocked out of the frame, and Alan Houston at the free throw line cursed in a low voice.

Michael Cage, who grabbed the rebound, wanted to throw the ball directly to Doug Overton, who was about to come down. As a result, the intention of the pass was too obvious, and it was easily intercepted by Li You, who was outside the three-point line.

Everyone in the 76ers team had already rushed to the center line. Li You, who had completed the steal, rushed into the paint after a moment of stunned effort. Against Michael Cage's block, he leaned over, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and forced a shot!

"squeak!!"

Michael Cage, who had learned from his experience, hit Li You in the arm and destroyed the attack neatly.

"Shhh!!"

Boos immediately erupted from Madison Square Garden, Li You went to the free throw line, and Allen Iverson replaced Doug Overton.

"Don't even think about scoring easily, I will completely lock you up!"

Iverson, who had just entered the field, yelled loudly with full motivation. Li You just glanced at him, then shook his head with a smile, and continued to make free throws:

"Children are always eager to express themselves"
