NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 77 The Core of Inefficiency (8500 word chapter)
Whenever a key game is encountered, most coaches will stick to their tactical concepts unwaveringly. On this basis, reducing the rotation of personnel and smashing the main force is a routine operation.

This may be a habit developed from the NCAA tournament. In a game that determines the outcome, the coaches prefer to let the main lineup last a little longer.

Jeff Van Gundy can change his stinginess for the award of the best coach in the league, put on a straight suit, and pay more attention to the image;
But the bald young coach did not adjust his tactics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Instead, he emphasized defense, rebounding, and insisted on low-post attacks close to the basket.

The same is true for Pat Riley on the opposite side. Even if Tim Hardaway has played at his peak this season and rushed to No. 4 in the MVP rankings, he still has to pass the ball honestly in the first quarter.

At the rotation stage of the second quarter, the two teams fed a piece of Xiang-flavored chocolate to the New York fans at the scene.

In the second quarter, the Heat replaced center Isaac Austin, who won the Most Improved Player Award, and replaced Mourning, who played the entire first quarter.

John Crotty replaced Tim Hardaway. On the front line, Jamal Mashburn continued to play, Dan Marley also played in rotation, and PJ Brown continued to play.

Small and big four, despite the lineup rotation, the height has not dropped.

In order to protect the rebounds, Jeff Van Gundy put Oakley and veteran Buck Williams on the inside, and the three on the outside were Chris Childs, Starks, and Larry Johnson.

The height is insufficient, but Oakley can grab it, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the lineup.

But after 2 minutes in the second quarter, both sides scored 3 points, and the New York fans at the scene were not in a good mood.

"John! Missed a jumper from beyond the arc!"

Starks hit the iron, the commentator Groom Albert yelled regretfully, neither side scored, and the game was completely stalemate.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The New York fans at the scene once again shouted for the home team's defense, and soon, the Heat's PJ-Brown shot from the low post near the paint missed.

PJ-Brown clapped his hands and retreated angrily after wasting a beautiful breakthrough from his teammates.

The Knicks attacked, Chris Childs broke through the ball at the top of the arc, and found Starks on the right wing outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, he held up the ball and swayed it, quickly released the ball with his right hand, and broke through and killed the basket. Starks' cut was very firm, but PJ Brown's sweep and defense at the basket was also in place.

Under the interference, the basketball knocked out of the basket!

"The flexible power forward completed the sweeping defense. The Heat basically continued the defensive strategy of the first quarter. So far, they have succeeded!"

Commentator John Andaris had no choice but to comment on the game, the two sides played lively, the score was 21:23, still no points.

On the next possession, the Heat continued to pass the ball on the outside, and then Dan Marley slammed to the basket and stood at the free throw line, and Madison Square Garden booed everywhere.

It seems that Starks will pull the cross every time it is a key game. Jeff Van Gundy took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly replaced Ewing. The tactical intention was very obvious and he gave the ball to the inside!
On the benches on both sides, everyone was a little silent, which is really ironic!

Li You originally planned to wave the towel, but he couldn't find a chance, so he could only sit obediently in his seat.

Oakley was substituted, the old guy was not in a good mood, he hadn't played such a game for a long time.

"Hell, I knew the game would turn out like this, beat yourself!"

Back on his seat, Oakley complained that the tactics he had prepared for the past few days were not right, and in the end, he was playing with his passion.
Li You watched as the Heat didn't score free throws, and was speechless for a while. The players' hands were stiff due to the massive physical confrontation.

After Ewing came on the field, in addition to leading the defense, Chris Childs had to pass the ball to the gorilla, hit the pick-and-roll jumper, and began to conduct more low-post offenses.

I thought I could dominate the inside and beat Isaac Austin on the opposite side, but PJ Brown's defense played a key role.

When Ewing faced a double-team inside, he failed to divide the ball in time and found veteran Buck Williams.

Several low-post attacks ended in iron strikes. Fortunately, Larry Johnson's breakthrough drew a foul, and the two sides started a free throw shootout.

"Pat was completely guarded in the low post, all the shots from the front of the basket were ironed, and Pat Riley completely limited our inside offense."

The commentator Marv Albert watched this somewhat boring game, glanced at the technical statistics, and briefly summarized the situation in the second quarter.

"PJ-Brown did play a key role. The flexible defense made our inside offense misfired, and the big delay also interfered with our outside offense."

"He has a high probability of being selected to the All-Defensive Team this year. The Heat created by Pat Riley have succeeded."

The commentator John Andaris also said something sour at this time. Compared with the bald young coach, Pat Riley is more old-fashioned.

With 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 32:29. The Heat relied on the substitutes to equalize the score, and by the way, Mourning was given ample rest time.

Ewing was so inefficient that Jeff Van Gundy was forced to request a timeout.

In the field of "iron and blood" defense, the Heat are no worse than the Knicks, and the opponent likes this game rhythm very much.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was fully committed to the game, realized at this time that these things of his were left over from Pat Riley's play, and all his systems were learned from the opponent:
"Give more screens to Lee and Houston. We don't play pick-and-rolls. We go one-on-one from the outside. We shoot the ball. If we can't make it, we rush to grab the rebound!"

"Believe in each other, we have to take the lead in the first half!"

In the noisy Madison Square Garden, Jeff Van Gundy, sitting in front of the crowd, yelled out these words.

Just won the best coach in the league, tonight's game can't be lost, Jeff Van Gundy really doesn't want to be ridiculed by the New York media after the game.
Li You, who was exercising his body after taking off his training clothes, nodded to show that he understood.

Watching half a quarter of the game on the bench, Li You also understood the Heat's game strategy. The opponent firmly believed that Ewing could not kill them in the low post, so the pick-and-roll was a big delay, allowing the guard to send the ball inside.

Ewing did not give a response, and the offensive end became inefficient. Facing the help defense, there were also problems with the ball.

The gorilla's face was ugly. After the second quarter, he couldn't even handle the opponent's backup center. Facing PJ-Brown's help defense, he couldn't find a good way.

After the timeout, the main lineup of the Knicks returned, while the Heat only took Tim Hardaway, Mourning was still resting, and Isaac Austin continued to play in good condition.

Two strikers, Jamal Mashburn and Dan Marley, were also on the scene. In key games, Voshan Leonard's playing time dropped sharply.

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

The New York fans at the scene shouted loudly again, Tim Hardaway, who re-appeared, was still leading the defense, trying to slow down the Knicks.

After receiving the baseline ball, Li You made half-turns and dribbled the ball steadily across the half court.

Larry Johnson immediately came to the top of the arc to respond, Li You quickly sent a pass, and then moved to the right flank.

With the help of Oakley's cover near the baseline on the left, Alan Houston slipped to the bottom line and quickly bounced out to the left block position.

Just after receiving the pass, Dan Marley chased up and defended. In terms of game experience, the veteran who was once one of the Suns' tridents is naturally better.

Under the defense, Alan Houston did not forcefully attack, and returned the ball to "Aunt" at the top of the arc again.

With a wave of his hand, Li You signaled Oakley to go up, and when Alan Houston slipped to the bottom line again, he immediately moved horizontally on the line and cut across quickly.

Li You went to the free throw line and went off the line after chasing Tim Hardaway. The Heat had already prepared for this, guarding against Oakley's "tough" screen.

Realizing that Tim Hardaway didn't choose to defend closely, Li You accelerated to move to the left flank beyond the three-point line, just received the ball sideways, immediately drifted to the left, and took advantage of the opportunity to complete a jumper!
Tim Hardaway ran around Oakley, naturally a beat slower, and before he even had time to jump up and defend, he saw the ball had already flown to the basket.

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"Wow!"

The crisp goal made the New York fans at the scene scream in comfort.

At 29:32, the Knicks took the lead in changing their offensive routine.

PJ-Brown looked to Pat Riley on the sidelines, indicating that he could switch out, but seeing the head coach shaking his head, he could only give Tim Hardaway a look of trying to catch up.

After hitting a three-pointer, Li You shook his head and retreated, and Tim Hardaway took the baseline ball with a face.

I watched a lot of game videos before the game, and the coaching staff arranged for personal chasing defenses. Tim Hardaway felt that this was inappropriate, but no one believed that pitchers could maintain production under high confrontation.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The defensive shouts sounded again, and the New York fans at the scene were also emotional.

Without Mourning on the court, Tim Hardaway became the Heat's main attacker.

Dan Marley bounced to the right flank with the help of a cover, Alan Houston chased and defended in place, but the tactics failed. Isaac Austin immediately came to the top of the arc and performed a high pick-and-roll.

Li You struggled to squeeze through the screen, Ewing continued to squat in the paint, and the Knicks also insisted on the defensive strategy in the first quarter. They did not believe that Hardaway could attack efficiently in the middle distance.

After briefly getting rid of the defense and coming to the left elbow of the free throw line, Tim Hardaway immediately stopped and quickly shot a jumper!
"state!"

The basketball came out of the basket, but PJ-Brown picked the melon behind his head and grabbed the offensive rebound behind Oakley.

It was just an elbow when passing the ball, and the accuracy was a bit poor. Alan Houston rushed to complete the steal in front of Dan Marley.

PJ-Brown didn't have time to complain, so he could only retreat quickly with his teammates. Alan Houston accelerated along the left sideline, and Dan Marley kept giving physical confrontation, trying to delay the conversion attack.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Heat still completed the retreat, and PJ-Brown hurriedly directed his teammates to make a defensive matchup.

Failed to make a transition attack, Alan Houston quickly passed the ball to Larry Johnson at the top of the arc, and then quickly moved to the right wing.

Li You had already run to the right corner, saw Oakley waving his hand at the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, and immediately pushed Tim Hardaway in front of him covertly.

Pretending to walk the bottom line, then suddenly speeding up and running backwards, Tim Hardaway, who was pushed away, kept his back to the basket. At this time, he accelerated his movement and saw Oakley in the elbow area, and chose to quickly go around the line to dodge the cover again.

With the same tactic, Li You once again received the ball from the left flank outside the three-point line, and then immediately released the ball with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

Tim Hardaway was planning to make a defense, but when he saw Li You breaking through, he quickly slid up to defend him.

Successfully stuck half of the body, Li You held the ball in his left hand and carried the defense straight to the basket. Tim Hardaway put pressure on his side, trying to squeeze Li You to the bottom line.

The two competed with each other and rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye. Li You approached the paint area and quickly jumped.

"My bowl!!"

Under Tim Hardaway's tugging and tugging, Li You yelled, the basketball spun and hit the backboard, and finally went into the net hollowly.

At 29:34, the Knicks opened the score again!

"Oh!!"

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and the fans in the front row under the basketball stand yelled and cursed, and the fans in the back cheered again. Everyone loved the beautiful pull-up layup.

"We need this kind of offense. Coach Van Gundy's adjustment is very timely!"

Commentator Groom Albert was relieved to see the home team leading again.

"The offense just got easier and Lee did a great job!"

The commentator John Andaris also restored his smiling face and commented cheerfully on the game.

Jeff Van Gundy was complaining loudly in front of the linesman at this time:
"Hey!! It's definitely a foul, look at their defense, it hangs on my players every time!"

Of course the referee wouldn't say anything, and Li You on the field didn't care, and bumped fists with Oakley while retreating. The old guy's "tough" screen really helped a lot.

Pat Riley on the sidelines also began to greet the players loudly at this time, making tactical gestures, signaling to strengthen the defense.

The defense failed for two consecutive rounds. Tim Hardaway did not call the pick-and-roll this time. He quickly dribbled the ball from the top of the arc to change the direction in front of his body. The moment he caught the ball with his right hand, he immediately crossed and broke through.

Although Li You had been prepared for a long time and quickly slid back to the left, Tim Hardaway broke through into the paint area, and finally turned his body and shot successfully!

At 31:34, the Heat also began to rely on the personal abilities of the stars to solve problems.

How to defend without the ball, the Heat also quickly gave the answer. Several people on the court gave enough physical confrontation, and the two sides pulled more and more.

The Knicks played the same tactic repeatedly. Li You's right flank cut and breakthrough was finally interrupted by Tim Hardaway.

Looking back, after Tim Hardaway's pick-and-roll, the emergency stop jumper in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line was also interfered by Li You, who squeezed through the screen, and then hit the iron
For several rounds in a row, the two sides failed to score again. It was not until Li You broke through to the basket again and Ewing, who assisted and cut into the basket, forcibly ate the pie, that this wave of scoring drought was over.

At the end of the second quarter, Tim Hardaway was no longer shooting jumpers at this time. Don't cover, he carried Li You's defense to the basket to help the team score.

Alan Houston, who couldn't get rid of the defense, also got some opportunities for post-up singles in the left and right blocks.

Dan Marley hit the iron outside the three-point line, but he performed exceptionally well on the defensive end, completely limiting Alan Houston's offense.

The pace of the game suddenly accelerated. At the last moment of the first half, Li You made a three-pointer against the defensive transition.

Amid the sighs of the fans at the scene, Oakley saw the landing point, struggled to grab a long rebound, and returned the ball to Li You on the left wing outside the three-point line.

Li You, who received the ball, lowered his center of gravity, immediately released the ball with his left hand and made a breakthrough. Tim Hardaway rushed to defend, but was stuck half his body again.

Before the end of halftime, Li You faced the defense, tilted his body and rode a horse to shoot an arrow, and completed the projectile with his left hand!
"Boom!"

Before the lights come on, the basketball hits the board!
39:45
Huge cheers erupted from Madison Square Garden immediately. Seeing Tim Hardaway's surprised expression, Li You was in a good mood:
"It seems that I also have a chance to be selected for the best team!"

Hearing this, Tim Hardaway's face became darker and darker. He turned his head and walked towards the player tunnel, ignoring Li You.

Cursing his lips, Li You was used to being ignored by these veteran players, and the opponents automatically ignored his All-Star status.

"Nice shot! Your training might really work!"

Charles Oakley patted Li You on the shoulder with a smile, and the old guy regained his good mood, playing with the wind was comfortable.

"That's scientifically based! Of course it will work!"

Li You didn't care about the old guy's ridicule either. Since he got the new [Talent], in order to tap his physical fitness, he added the training content of resistance bands.

"That's it for the donkeys of the production team!", every time they finish training, these old guys will have such expressions on their faces.
At 39:45, halftime ended, and the Knicks once again suppressed the Heat.

"Let me see, 7 of 4 in a single quarter, 3 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, Lee scored 9 points in the second quarter, which is almost half of the team's points."

"I think Li can also be selected for the best team of the season. His performance in the playoffs has proved his strength!"

The commentator Marv Albert looked at the technical statistics and just blew it, and the commentator John Andaris also nodded:

"Facing Tim Hardaway, Lee's performance is still efficient, with 64 wins, it is indeed time to give young people a chance!"

The two laughed and blew in the commentary booth, completely forgetting the Xiang-flavored chocolate they ate before
Back in the locker room, the atmosphere group of the Knicks team started yelling. Although Ewing was depressed, he also smiled.

In the half game, the Gorilla made 12 of 4 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points and 9 rebounds. Except for his rebounding performance, most of the points were cakes.

李佑半场11中6，三分线外5中2，半场拿了全队最高的14分，并且还送出了4次助攻。

Under such circumstances, Jeff Van Gundy returned to the locker room with a smile on his face and did not make too many adjustments. He clapped his hands and encouraged:
"Very good, we have completely suppressed the opponent, we grabbed 5 more rebounds than the opponent in the half, and we will maintain this state in the second half!"

"."

There was no mention of changing the offense at all. The coaching staff felt that Ewing was not in good condition, so they simply changed the way the offense was initiated.

Both teams made only 4 turnovers in the first half of the game. The Heat's Tim Hardaway missed a three-pointer, went 10 of 5, and scored 10 points.

Pat Riley didn't make too many adjustments during the Heat's halftime break. After the start of the third quarter, the starting lineup played again.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The New York fans at the scene shouted loudly, and Pat Riley, who was standing on the sidelines with his arms folded, frowned slightly.

Li You obviously has the ability to develop offense and consume the ball, and Jeff Van Gundy's changes are somewhat beyond his expectations.

Pat Riley looked at the bald assistant coach in a straight suit who was no longer as unkempt as in the past, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated his opponent.

In the second quarter, Tim Hardaway took a lot of shots. Immediately after the start of the second half, Tim Hardaway took advantage of Mourning's cover, stepped forward with the side wing outside the three-point line, got rid of the pursuit, and made a long two-point jumper!

"state!"

The long rebound popped out, and near the free throw line, Li You rushed in front of Mourning and successfully received the rebound.

Hitting the iron at the beginning, Tim Hardaway could only pull his face and call his teammates to retreat quickly, while he led the defense against Li You immediately.

PJ-Brown also found that the Knicks did not play pick-and-roll offense. Li You handed over the ball after halftime, Larry Johnson received the ball at the top of the arc, and then bounced the ball out to Alan on the left wing. houston.

Oakley's screen stumbled Voshan Leonard. There was no one in front of him, and Alan Houston made an open three-pointer and made a steady jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

At 39:48, the point difference continued to widen.

The cheers of the fans at the scene became extremely harsh, and the game did not go according to the expected plan. Pat Riley remained calm, just calling the players to concentrate.

Still unable to find the touch of a jumper, Tim Hardaway began not to call the pick-and-roll again, using his speed advantage to break through to the paint.

At the moment of being attracted to the defense, he immediately passed the ball to Mourning at the bottom right of the basket. The latter hit Oakley, who turned back to defend, and succeeded in hitting the basket.

"Shhh!!"

Seeing the Heat score a goal in a sports game, there were boos everywhere, and Li You raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem.

Tim Hardaway was instructed to be more aggressive when leading the defense, but the defense didn't do anything.

Li You just accelerated, stopped suddenly, dribbled the ball behind his back, protected the ball sideways, pushed forward quickly, approached the center line, turned around and switched to a strong sidehand, and dribbled steadily across the half.

The basketball was always on his side, and Tim Hardaway's cut ball was pushed away by the ball protector. Li You gave the ball to Ewing in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and then ran to the right corner.

Noticing that Alan Houston bounced out of the middle to receive Ewing's hand-off pass, Voshan Leonard successfully posted the defense this time, Li You immediately slid from right to left, quickly slid to the bottom line, and pretended to run back.

Tim Hardaway learned his lesson, chose to go up the line, and chased after him, but he didn't expect that Li You, who had just moved under the basket, suddenly accelerated and ran back, and quickly ran to the right flank.

Tim Hardaway hurriedly chased and defended. Li You, the right winger outside the three-point line, successfully received a cross pass from Alan Houston, and then took advantage of the situation to feint the ball.

Constantly adjusting the center of gravity of the body, Tim Hardaway didn't hesitate this time, and raised his left hand high, trying to interfere. Li You took advantage of the opponent's approach, immediately put the ball with his right hand, and broke through with a cross step.

Quickly slid back to the left, Tim Hardaway adjusted his center of gravity again, but Li You just dribbled a step, and then retreated with his right hand vigorously blasting the ball, returned to the three-point line, got rid of the defense, and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

Failed to make a block, the center of gravity of the body was continuously pulled, Tim Hardaway stood still, watching Li You raised his right arm, raised three fingers, and retreated to X
At 39:51, the point difference came to double digits.

"Lee is on fire! It's hard for Tim Hardaway to limit his offense!"

The commentator Mav Albert saw that the point difference continued to widen, and his voice became brighter.

The Heat are also creating opportunities for Voshan Leonard, but after Hardaway breaks through to score the ball, the perfect shooter in the last round hits the iron again in the right corner!

The long rebound bounced into Larry Johnson's arms, and everyone in the Heat could only retreat quickly.

"Auntie" pushed forward with the ball and chased the opponent's ass for half the court.

Tim Hardaway was already hanging on Li You at this time, and the two were pulling on the right flank, and the referee on the side didn't say anything.
First, he moved toward the top of the arc, and then Li You suddenly bounced out. The moment he got rid of the defense, he received the pass, and Tim Hardaway immediately put up the defense again.

The right wing is far away from the three-point line, and Tim Hardaway is firmly in front of him, not giving Li You an easy chance to play the ball.

Ewing quickly moved to the right flank at this time, seeing the opportunity, Li You, who maintained a three-threat posture, quickly took a tentative step with his left foot.

Then he suddenly released the ball with his right hand, squeezed past the defense sideways, and quickly turned around after blasting the ball on the spot. After catching the ball with his left hand, Li You immediately accelerated with all his strength.

Tim Hardaway, who was sliding fast, looked up and saw Ewing who was standing still. Before he had time to adjust his center of gravity, he bumped into him
Tim Hardaway fell to the ground in an instant, the fans booed and yelled, and PJ Brown hurriedly slid to help defend.

Li You, who broke through to the free throw line, quickly in and out, swayed right and left, and then quickly dribbled behind his back.

Sudden emergency stop, PJ-Brown reacted quickly, subconsciously rushed forward, and then saw the basketball pass by his right, and Li You's ground-hitting pass instantly pierced through the defense.

Ewing, who was running down, received the pass, soared into the air in the paint, facing Mourning who was helping to defend, he dunked the basket vigorously with both hands!

"squeak!!"

The whistle blew the ball, and Ewing made a dunk!
The dunk dunked by another person completely ignited the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden. Ewing threw his fist and roared, and the fans in the front row also clapped and shouted.

Tim Hardaway just got up from the floor, hit the gorilla's right elbow, shook his head, and seemed to wake up.
Jeff Van Gundy also threw his fists in celebration, punched the master to death, and shouted excitedly:
"That's it, Lee, nice assist!"

Everyone on the Knicks team stepped forward to give Li You a high-five, and Ewing, who had a good dunk, made an extra penalty and made a steady hit.

39:54, the point difference came to 15 points.

A wave of 9:0, Pat Riley looked serious and immediately asked for a timeout.

The commentator, Groom Albert, ignored these several cover moves and said with a smile:
"Smooth offense is back, and Lee has completely controlled the rhythm of the game!"

Commentator John Andaris followed suit:
"Starting from the second quarter, head coach Van Gundy adjusted his tactics in time and reversed the game in one fell swoop. The best coach deserves his name!"

The double-digit point difference completely let the Knicks let go, and Pat Riley soon found that his backcourt combination collapsed.

The tactics were executed very beautifully. After Mourning covered, Voshan Leonard hit the iron with an open left corner.

Looking back, the Knicks used the same up-and-down tactic. After Li You bounced outside the three-point line continuously, this time he suddenly caught the ball in the middle distance.

Alan Houston's pass quality is mediocre, but Oakley's off-ball screen at the left elbow delays Tim Hardaway in pursuit.

After receiving the ball, Li You adjusted slightly, taking advantage of Tim Hardaway's defense again, took a step laterally, got rid of the defense, near the left block, drifted to the left and succeeded in a mid-range jumper!
"Wow!!"

Cheers resounded through the arena, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger. The New York fans at the scene couldn't hold back anymore, and began to celebrate the victory of the game in advance
In the next game, the Heat, who were no longer head-to-head, began to hit the ball inside, and for the Knicks, Ewing would also play a low-post offense.

The score began to rise, but Ewing's low position still failed to open up the situation. PJ-Brown and Mourning were fully prepared.

Alan Houston and Li Youkai have completely found their touch at this time, and they will throw the ball whenever they have the opportunity.

Watching the Knicks playing faster and faster, Pat Riley sat back on the bench after watching for a while. The point difference was too big and he no longer requested a timeout.

When Oakley also ate a jumper from the elbow, the Heat completely fell apart, and PJ Brown didn't know if he should stick to the big delay
All the scores were concentrated in the three-second zone directly in front of the basket, and the outside line hit the iron frequently, and the Heat's bench had no sound.

At the end of the third quarter, at Madison Square Garden, the New York fans at the scene really felt that they had won the game this time, and everyone cheered loudly.

16:29 in a single quarter, after three quarters, 55:74, the fourth quarter almost became garbage time.

In the last quarter of the game, the Heat just took Dan Marley, replaced Voshan Leonard, who was not feeling well, and began the final struggle.

Tim Hardaway kept hitting the basket, and Mourning's iron-blooded mid-range was also picking up.

After half a quarter of the game, the Heat were scoring, and the Knicks were also scoring.

Every time Li You attacks, he will let Alan Houston run an off-ball tactic. After the third quarter of the game, the shooter has completely found his touch.

Dan Marley's defense didn't help much, and he could only be forced to foul in some rounds.

It was not until the last quarter of the game that Ewing found his touch in the low post. The bottom left of the basket was close to the paint area, and the turnaround jump shot after being stuck was also followed.
Jeff Van Gundy saw that Li You didn't throw a three-pointer blindly, but slowed down and played steadily. He was completely relieved for a while, and he also followed Pat Riley and sat back on the bench with a smile.

Tim Hardaway no longer tried his best to defend. The paper tiger defense didn't work against Li You. He just looked at the alternately rising score and felt very depressed for a while.

With 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, Pat Riley asked for a timeout with a calm expression, and then took the initiative to change into the atmosphere group.

Li You also took the initiative to foul, and soon, Jeff Van Gundy also replaced the main force with a smile on his face.

At Madison Square Garden, the fans at the scene began to cheer for the players who were leaving the field. The commentator, Groom Albert, saw the victory and immediately said:
“18中10，三分线外7中3，罚球2中2，25分2篮板10助攻1失误，李再次打破记录，成为NBA季后赛历史上最年轻拿到20+10的球员！”

"At 19 years and 126 days, Magic Johnson's record has been broken again. It's an incredible performance."

Commentator John Andaris also felt that this record was difficult to break, and said with a smile:

"Different talents are sometimes difficult to be recognized. Li is indeed better than the rookies of the same class!"

After the Heat's atmosphere team came on the field, they finally found some touch. On the bench, Tim Hardaway pulled his face.

17中7，罚球8中6，20分2篮板5助攻1失误，技术统计上，蒂姆-哈达威拿到了全队最高分。

Just watching the atmosphere group throw a three-pointer at this time, Tim Hardaway cursed angrily, and the game felt cold.

Li You had already changed into his training uniform and was chatting and spanking with Starks. This veteran didn't like wasting time, so he gave the opportunity to the bull-horse McCarty.

"I don't know why I always have this situation, it's definitely not a psychological problem!"

5 out of 1, scored 2 points, Starks' performance was really good, watching the veteran defending himself, Li You did not expose the opponent:
"Anyway, the game is won, the process is not important! John, I believe in you!"

Ewing returned to the bench, seeing the people talking and laughing, and thinking about the process of winning, he felt complicated for a while.

20中8，罚球7中7，23分16篮板1抢断2失误。

Even the gorilla didn't smile when he got a double pair of large
In the cheers of the fans, the game ended quickly, 79:98, the Knicks finally beat the Heat!

Jeff Van Gundy showed a smug smile, and couldn't wait to go to the technical stage to shake hands with Pat Riley:

"Jeff, it's great to see you grow!"

Pat Riley still had a smile on his face, and Jeff Van Gundy restrained his smile subconsciously:
"I'm going to keep winning! The Knicks are the better team."

Seeing Pat Riley nodding calmly, Jeff Van Gundy lost most of his sense of accomplishment. He turned his head and walked to the bench. Hearing cheers from the fans, he was still a little angry:
"I'm the one who wins!"
