NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 65 Accompanied by Records
On January 1997, 1, at Madison Square Garden, New York fans shouted and cursed endlessly.

Difficult to win the Pacers, back-to-back big losses to the Hornets, the last game of this week, the Knicks met the Heat again.

Perhaps because the All-Stars only got 31 votes, Tim Hardaway wanted to express himself tonight!

Not only did he not rest, but he also exerted all his strength on both offensive and defensive ends. Tim Hardaway's intention was very obvious - to blow up Li You.
As the game progressed, both sides moved more and more. In addition, the Knicks always led the Heat by 6 points. Tim Hardaway played more and more urgently, and Bang Bang hit the iron.

The Heat used two second-round picks in this game, and both of them worked extremely hard in the game, which made the referee's body movements not less no matter how they whistled.

With the last 21 seconds left in the game, everyone on the Heat team realized that the general situation was over, and they all let out a sigh of relief, gasping for breath and no longer defending.

Only Tim Hardaway was still competing with Li You, on the left flank outside the three-point line, desperately grabbing the ball, but Li You lowered his center of gravity and pouted his butt, not giving the opponent a chance.

The final buzzer sounded, 89:95, and the Knicks returned to the home court with a successful victory over their opponents, ending the final game of the week.

"7 games in 5 days, 3 wins and 2 losses. Although we lost to the Bulls and Hornets, after winning tonight's game, the record came to 33 wins and 10 losses."

"Beyond the Pistons and ranked second in the East, I think New York fans must be very satisfied with this result!"

In the commentary booth of MSG on the scene, the commentator Marv Albert took the opportunity to praise the performance of the Knicks.

The competition in the upper half of the Eastern Conference is very fierce, and being able to temporarily surpass the Pistons has achieved the expected goal!
"The intensive schedule also caused some minor problems in Li's state. Until then, I didn't think he was really only 19 years old!"

"Take a good rest before the All-Star Game, and hope the lad can return to his previous efficient performance."

The commentator John Andaris sent blessings to Li You, and the two commentators were in the state of winning and smiling at this time, and praised all the Knicks players.

After the game, Tim Hardaway felt that he had lost face in front of the rookie, and turned away after saying hello:

17中4，三分线外8中2，罚球2中1，11分4篮板12助攻1抢断3失误。

Even if he gets a double-double, Tim Hardaway is not satisfied with his state tonight, it is too stretched!

对位的李佑也没占到便宜，11中4，三分线外3中0，罚球6中4，12分4篮板8助攻1抢断1盖帽2失误。

The number of consecutive three-pointers hit finally stopped at 26 games.
After returning to the locker room, Li You sat in his seat and didn't want to talk anymore. With 7 games in 5 days and a bunch of lemon essence defending desperately, Iron Man couldn't stand it anymore!

"This is a precious victory and I'm so proud of you!"

"But everyone has to persevere. There are only two games left this month. If you are not feeling well, remember to report it in time."

Jeff Van Gundy saw that everyone in the locker room was tired and did not want to talk. After a brief encouragement, he declared a holiday and canceled tomorrow's training session.

Li You returned to his apartment in Manhattan, washed up and fell asleep. This week's competition was finally over.

On the 27th, Li You, who was eating breakfast, watched the ESPN program on TV seriously analyzing the reasons for his data decline, and happily gnawed on the sandwich in his hand.

"Li Miracle is not here, it is difficult for rookie players who have just entered the league to maintain an efficient state."

"Most teams have started to adapt to his skill set, and we've seen him struggle this week."

"Of course, Li can still dedicate to the fans to applaud his beauty, but in the second half of the game, he can't continue his previous high-efficiency performance."

Christen Lite, who came to pay back the money early in the morning, was sulking secretly when she saw Li You eating deliciously, but she came hungry:

"They're talking bad about you? Aren't you mad?"

Seeing that Li You didn't intend to invite her to breakfast, the chick who purposely dressed herself up to look a little mature started looking for topics to chat.

"Angry? No, no, no, it's always a good thing to be on TV, it's media recognition!"

"I thought you had breakfast, you're welcome, eat whatever you want!"

Seeing the black-haired chick staring eagerly at the food on the table, Li You immediately made a casual gesture.

Christen Ritter blushed slightly, but still did not resist the temptation, and ate the attractive bacon in front of him.

He seemed to feel that his eating was a little indecent. Seeing some photos of Li You and Mi Linda in the room, he pretended to be casual and asked in a low voice:

"Is that your girlfriend? You like blonde girls?"

Li You looked at the other party's washboard figure with a half-smile, and there was only a slight bulge under the black sweater.

The bright and big eyes make the other party look extraordinarily innocent, but being able to muster up the courage to participate in the silver party shows that the other party is definitely not a simple girl.

"I'm not interested in underage girls, you don't have to dress up too mature, and there's nothing to show at the airport."

Christen Ritter, who was still munching on a sandwich, didn't realize it at first. It wasn't until she saw Li You's gaze and looked down that she realized what "airport" meant.

Annoyed in his heart, Christen Ritter pursed his lips, thinking of the shriveled wallet on his body, he could only say angrily in the end:
"After a while, I can only pay back part of it first. I am only a part-time model now, and I can't make much money."

Li You leaned on his chin and looked at the other party, and he didn't expose the girl's small thoughts. Last time, the volume was 2000 US dollars, saving some money, and he really didn't need to participate in special events anymore.

As if feeling that his thoughts had been seen through, Christen Ritter could only show off the food in front of him, and secretly complained:
"Airport? Cows can't be models!"

In the third week of January, Li You had his worst performance since entering the league:

5场比赛，首发3场，场均出场32.6分钟，场均拿到14.6分3.6篮板7.8助攻1.4抢断2.4失误；

He averaged 10.4 shots per game, shooting 44.5% from the field, 5.0 shots from beyond the three-point line, 28.8% from three-pointers, 4.4 free throws per game, and 89.3% from free throws.

On the morning of the 28th, Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help frowning secretly when he saw the data given by the coaching staff.

"It should only be a matter of physical fitness. Five games in seven days, three away games, and flying around will definitely have an impact."

"The true shooting percentage of 60% is still higher than the league average. Under such a dense schedule, there is still such a performance. To be honest, I am only surprised!"

Assistant coach Don Chaney put on an expression that we earned it. In the team, he has always stood up for Li You.

Jeff Van Gundy just felt that the three-point shooting percentage dropped a bit, but considering the Heat's game lowered the data, he finally stretched his brows:

"How's Pat's physical condition? I don't want to see players get injured before the All-Star break."

Assistant coach Thibodeau felt that the problem was not a big one. After playing for half a season, Ewing averaged only 38 minutes per game. He responded in a relaxed tone:

"The weight loss should take the pressure off my knees, I think Pat is in better shape this year!"

Jeff Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief again, and after these two games at the end of the month, the Knicks can rest!
On the night of the 28th, the Knicks played against the Celtics at home.

In order to get Tim Duncan, the Celtics no longer pretended to be the No. [-] pick!

The pressure of the game is not high, the Knicks will definitely win, and the New York fans who bought tickets to watch the game want to see Li You live.

In the last game against the Heat, I ate a Xiang-flavored chocolate. New York fans who like to watch fun hope to change their taste through this game that is destined to win.
What everyone didn't expect was that in the second half, Ewing fell to the ground in pain during a backcourt rebound.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting on the bench, stood up immediately, seeing Ewing's painful expression, he was numb for a while:
"Knee hurt?"
