NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 82 Anti-"Joe" Pioneer

Chapter 82 Anti-"Joe" Pioneer (9000 word chapter)
On May 1997, 5, after two seasons, the Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals again!
At 88:104, the Heat persisted for another half of the game in the fourth quarter and recovered some point differences, but they still regretted losing in the end.

莫宁出场了39分钟,17中9,罚球12中6,拿到24分9篮板1助攻2失误的数据。

Whenever he finds his form, the Knicks will send him to the free throw line. In this regard, Mourning failed to respond and the free throw was stretched.

He was full of tendons, unable to use his strength, and his ears were full of cheers and jeers from New York fans. Mourning stood on the sidelines for a long time watching the score.

Tim Hardaway turned his head and walked back to the player tunnel after a simple handshake.

17中7,三分线外8中2,罚球4中1,17分5篮板7助攻1抢断,没有失误。

Learning from the lessons of the previous games, Tim Hardaway controlled the turnovers very well, but there were too many safety ball passes, which also made it difficult for the Heat to play a threatening transition attack.

The defensive end consumed too much energy. Except for his brilliant performance in G3, Tim Hardaway performed unsatisfactorily in the rest of the game.

Being able to reach the conference finals, Jeff Van Gundy was extremely satisfied, and he shook hands with Pat Riley with a smile on his face.

The two chatted for a while in front of the technical stage. Pat Riley still maintained his demeanor, patted the former assistant coach, and left the arena quickly.

"This is really an incredible season. We have fully demonstrated our dominance so far in the playoffs."

"After the personnel adjustment, the Knicks have a younger lineup. The future belongs to us. I believe the team will respond to their old opponents in the division finals!"

Commentator Marv Albert is very satisfied with the performance of the Knicks this year.

Although the commentator John Andaris is not optimistic about the next Eastern Conference Finals, he did not say anything discouraged:

"This is the first year after the reorganization of the team, and it is also Lee's first season. I believe the fans in New York are very satisfied with this achievement."

"Regardless of the outcome, I believe the Knicks will succeed in the end!"

For the next opponent, the New York media loves and hates it. Everyone likes to consume Michael Jordan, and they like to watch the No. 1 in the league break the defense.

But everyone knows the strength of the Bulls. Therefore, before the game even started, some of the media were intimidated.
The Knicks may be the team that has lost the most to Michael Jordan in recent years. Not only the players have lost, but the media in New York has also gone numb.

At the press conference after the game, Li You was dressed in a light gray formal suit and enjoyed superstar treatment again, but the attitude of the media in the audience was a bit strange.

“19岁135天,恭喜你打破了1985年迈克尔-乔丹创下的纪录,成为NBA季后赛历史上最年轻拿到30+10的球员!”

"Can you talk about your performance in the second quarter? Incredible, 2 points in a single quarter!"

The New York Post reporter in the audience uncharacteristically did not ask questions about the next round of opponents, and Li You was too lazy to think about it:
"Run without the ball, catch and shoot, and observe the center of gravity of the defender. I'm not just a shooter. If I seize the opportunity, I will attack the basket. Scoring is as simple as that!"

"Of course, this is inseparable from the support of my teammates. The fans at the scene also gave me great encouragement. Playing at Madison Square Garden, I can always find my status easily."

"In the future, this privilege will belong to the home team players!"

The TNT reporter laughed out loud when he heard Li You teasing the visitors from the past when they came to New York, and then asked bluntly:

"Lee, will the Knicks make it to the Finals?"

The New York media on the side all glared at this ignorant guy, which pot is not open and which pot to mention!
"Basketball is round, and everything is possible. Of course, the Bulls have a better record. We have to play the away game first. For this, the team's goal is to win an away game!"

Li You answered the question with a smile, and the New York media in the audience hurriedly changed the topic. After losing for so many years, everyone has experience:

"Don't piss off Michael Jordan, he's a vengeful bastard!"

"."

In the simultaneous game that night, 92:107, after returning to the home court, the Bulls beat the Eagles and swept the opponent with a big score of 4:1.

While the superstar basketball was struggling, the Bulls played team basketball, blossomed more, and completely confused the Eagles.

出场40分钟,23中9,三分线外5中1,罚球5中5,迈克尔-乔丹拿到了24分7篮板7助攻2抢断2失误的数据。

The two teams rebounded 30:54, and the Bulls returned home and grabbed 25 offensive rebounds!
The Eagles were directly robbed.
Almost twice as many rebounds also brought the Bulls to 96 rounds, and winning is a matter of course.

Excel can't fully demonstrate the dominance of the Bulls. It's useless for the Eagles to beat the main force, and all the data are comprehensively behind.

Into the Eastern Conference Finals, Michael - Jordan did not show much joy.

In this round of the series, he dunked Mutombo and fulfilled his promise, which made Mike even more happy.
Unlike the media in New York, the media in Chicago immediately loaned the championship, and the Knicks were ignored.

This opponent has won too many times in the past. Regardless of the regular season, the record in the past playoffs has already explained everything. The Bulls won!

At the post-match press conference, Michael Jordan, wearing a brown baggy suit, answered questions from the audience at will, until a TNT reporter asked:

"Mikou, tonight Li tied your scoring record in a single quarter of the playoffs, and at the same time broke your 30+10 record!

"Will the Bulls make adjustments in the next round?"

Hearing such a question, Michael Jordan was also slightly taken aback. He has too many records, and the specifics have long been forgotten:
"Adjustment? No! The opponent needs to adjust. Our condition is getting better and better, and Dennis' knee has almost recovered."

"Great to see the Knicks coming to the conference finals, but Harper will teach the young guys a lesson."

Michael Jordan has no humility. In the division finals, he once again showed his attitude towards the championship. The media in the audience also agreed with this:
"Basically all the bullshit that Michael has boasted about has come true"

The two teams in the Eastern Conference finals are officially announced, while the Western Conference semifinals continue.

The Rockets got the match point and returned to the home court, but they were moved back to the city by the Supersonics tonight.

100:94, relying on Gary Payton's outstanding performance, the series still has suspense.

奥拉朱旺今晚彻底爆发,18中12,罚球10中7,拿到31分16篮板3助攻2抢断2失误的大号两双数据。

德雷克斯勒16中9,也贡献了26分,巴克利18中6,拿到17分20篮板。

The Rockets grabbed 20 offensive rebounds and eventually lost. They made 27 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, and the outside line was completely locked.

加里-佩顿17中8,拿到21分6篮板11助攻1抢断2失误的两双数据,超音速全场只有9次失误!
Head coach George Karl's slamming of the main force paid off.

On May 5th, the coaching staff gave the Knicks two days off, which was regarded as a bonus for reaching the conference finals.

Ewing saw that the newspapers were full of news about Li You's record, and felt sore for a while.

The media in New York was extremely tolerant towards Li You, and the fact that he made less than 3% of his shots in the two games of G4 and G[-] was automatically ignored.
The gorilla did not choose to rest, but took the initiative to practice more. When he met his old opponent again, he really wanted to win. Unfortunately, G1 was suspended and he had nowhere to use his strength.

The Knicks' daily practice facility is located in upper Oster County, New York, away from media distractions.

The players can rest, but the coaching staff still has to watch the video of the game.

After Jeff Van Gundy watched the game between the Bulls and the Eagles, there was no sound for a while, and the rebounds may not be able to hold up.
"Compared to last season, the Bulls are still down!"

The words of assistant coach Thibodeau left several people speechless.

It has indeed declined. Last season, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman were all selected for the defensive team. This year, Rodman fell out of the defense due to knee injuries.
Jeff Van Gundy watched the assistant coach discuss for a while, but didn't give any good advice, so he simply talked about the old routine:
"Just like in the regular season, double-team Michael Jordan and let other people decide the game, we have a chance to get a road victory."

Everyone didn't say a word. This trick was used by the Eagles, and it turned out to be useless.
Assistant coach Don Chaney thought of Ewing's state, and sighed again for a while:
"I wish Pat was a few years younger. We used Starks to defend the dunk. It was definitely a wrong choice."

Speaking of the past, several people who have been with the Knicks for many years all sighed, and Jeff Van Gundy continued with a serious expression:
"When it comes to the away game, players must be prohibited from fooling around with each other!"

Several assistant coaches looked at each other, and finally nodded silently. Although they all felt that this matter had little to do with the outcome of the game, the head coach's metaphysical request can still be insisted on:
"What if we win!"

During the rare holiday, Li You happened to be walking on the road with Milinda. New York finally heated up in May, and jeans and a T-shirt were enough to cope with the weather.

Wearing a small bag, jeans, and a blue-and-white striped T-shirt, Milinda combed her golden ponytail, looking youthful and beautiful.

But at this moment, this person was sniffing around in the apartment, looking through it from time to time, and was hugged by Li You, and then said with a smile:

"Very good! No leaves found!"

Every time I come to the apartment, I will check it. No smoking, no tattoos, and no leaves are the basic requirements.

Feeling the turbulent waves in his arms, Li You hugged him without letting go, and whispered a suggestion in his ear:

"How about staying at home for a while!"

Guessing what Li You was thinking, Mi Linda turned around, crossed her arms, dragged her towards the door, and said coquettishly:
"No! We agreed to watch "The Fifth Element" together, it is said to be very good!"

"Damn "The Fifth Element"!"

Li You cursed secretly, he had seen this movie, although he couldn't remember the specific plot, but the memory in his mind told him that this was a popcorn movie.

There are a lot of movie theaters in New York, including small and fresh theaters that focus on independent films and show art films.

There are also cinemas that focus on French movies, with classic styles and an elegant atmosphere, and are dedicated to those who pretend to be X.
Watching popcorn blockbusters, you can just go to Ziegfeld on West Street, a large single-screen theater, where you can get the best viewing experience.

The two drove over on the 11th, and Li You, who was wearing a hat, was recognized by some enthusiastic fans. Fortunately, he saw a female companion beside him, and no one disturbed him indifferently.

Milinda watched the big popcorn movie with relish, but Li You was drowsy. After watching it for a while, the memory in his mind began to emerge clearly, and the feeling of being spoiled was terrible.

At the end of the movie, Li You's only feeling is:
"Milla Jovovich is pretty, and a young girl from an old man can do it"

5月15号,回到主场的超音速队再次扳回一城,96:99,系列赛大比分来到3:3。

奥拉朱旺似乎完全适应了超音速队的防守,当晚21中12,拿到了30分11篮板1助攻1抢断4盖帽的数据。

Barkley also got rid of the downturn, scoring a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds, but Drexler pulled back, 14 of 3, and scored 9 points.
Coupled with the fact that the Rockets made 21 turnovers throughout the game, the Sonics, with their stable performance, stubbornly dragged the game into the tiebreaker.

Gary Payton once again played an offensive and defensive performance, 16 of 7, 19 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals and 3 turnovers. Compared with Tim Hardaway, the "glove" is harder in the playoffs!
The heat exploded in the 7th tiebreaker. If the Rockets' old Big Three fall, then there is no need to worry about hot news during the offseason.

On the 16th, the Knicks also resumed daily training, and the coaching staff did not practice any special tactical routines.

The defensive end of the G1 game insisted on double-teaming, and the offensive end was all about the sky
For Jeff Van Gundy's request, several veterans also agreed, no matter what the result is, at least they must show an attitude of going all out.

"I don't want to defend Michael Jordan at all. In the playoffs, there are more and more post-ups. Maybe next season, I have to consider building muscle."

Alan Houston was frowning after the video class. The sports media may provoke Mike, but the players know his strength.
"Just try your best, it doesn't matter if you can't defend, let him score 50 points, and the Bulls' loss is also a good result!"

Li You smiled and comforted Alan Houston. He couldn't do this job, so he could only support his teammates mentally.

Larry Johnson is full of energy. He scored 20 points and 10 rebounds in the last game. It seems that "Auntie" has regained the feeling he once had. At this time, he is trying to prove himself:

"Michael Jordan is not God, he will be tired! Win one away game, win two games at home, and we can reach the finals!"

"We still have home court advantage when we meet the Rockets. This is definitely a great opportunity to win the championship!"

"Big Mom" ​​was thinking passionately here, while Oakley was shaking his head on the other side, and Starks didn't make a sound. After the video lesson ended, the old guys had already laid down.
Li You found that most of the Knicks were satisfied with reaching the Eastern Conference finals. No one mentioned winning. Ewing was more active in training, but he didn't mention the championship.

After entering the league for one season, Li You has fully realized the influence of Michael Jordan. Perhaps the Western teams are still dissatisfied, and the Eastern teams are basically numb.
The losing Eagles did not speak harshly after the game, and no one mentioned that they will win back next year.

In the playoffs, the once provocative media also turned into scumbags, and began to shout for Michael Jordan:

"The Bulls Championship!"

On May 5th, the Western Conference semifinal tiebreaker exploded, and the two sides fought fiercely until the fourth quarter.

With 20 seconds left in the game, at 90:92, the Rockets at home still led by 2 points.

At the critical moment, the Sonics obviously couldn't move forward and fell into a scoring drought for a while, but Drexler stood on the free throw line continuously at this time, and finally ended the game.

At 91:96, the Rockets' old Big Three all broke out and won the 7th game with difficulty.

Olajuwon scored 19 of 11 and scored 22 points and 13 rebounds. Barkley scored 13 of 7 and scored 20 points and 14 rebounds. In addition to Drexler's 24 points, the Big Three dominated the game!

The Rockets went 24 of 6 from beyond the three-point line and still won. Gary Payton's 27 points failed to turn the game around.

In the Western Conference finals, the Rockets VS Jazz, the battle of the elderly is about to start!

The divisional finals are about to start, and TNT and ESPN will naturally follow suit and analyze the strength of the four teams.

McHale has been very popular since he joined TNT. The Celtics legend can always analyze the player's technical characteristics concisely:
"Rebounding is the key. Barkley may not have scored many points in the series, but the Rockets have a lot of offensive rebounds."

"This is the playoffs. The pitchers may have a breakout game, but as the two sides continue to compete, the physical fitness declines, and the defense becomes more and more targeted. In the end, it is the big players who decide the outcome of the game."

Ernie Johnson looked at his partner talking, and suddenly gave an example:
"Lee of the Knicks played a phenomenal performance in G5. Maybe outside players can also decide the outcome of the game!"

Looking through the technical statistics prepared in advance, McHale raised his eyebrows, and then said firmly:
"Lee performed very well. In the playoffs, the overall statistics are very beautiful, but in the Eastern Conference finals, the opponents facing the Knicks will be completely different."

"The Bulls have a taller backcourt than the Heat, Harper is not Tim Hardaway, and Michael Jordan can also take over the defense at critical moments."

"Both Lee and Alan Houston are too young. The gap in game experience and physical skills is very obvious."

"When it comes to the conference finals, neither team has any secrets to speak of. This is the moment to compete for star power. Therefore, the Bulls and Rockets will meet in the Finals this year."

The sports media overwhelmingly predicted that the Bulls and Rockets, which have more stars, would win easily. On the night of the 19th, in the Western Conference Finals, the Jazz slapped their faces.

86:101, Western Conference Finals G1, the Jazz beat the Rockets at home!

Olajuwon performed bravely, 14 of 9, scored a game-high 30 points, and also grabbed 13 rebounds and sent 5 assists.

但巴克利却拉跨了,10中3,拿到12分8篮板4助攻1失误,德雷克斯勒也平平无奇的砍下13分。

In the second quarter, at 17:29, the Jazz established the victory in one fell swoop.

Karl Malone's data began to decline in the playoffs. In this game, he made 16 of 6 and scored 21 points with free throws.

但斯托克顿13中5,稳定贡献16分6篮板13助攻2抢断2失误的数据。

The Utah Shuangsha once again taught the critics who looked down on them a lesson. Pile up stars, and they may not necessarily be stronger!
The Knicks had already flown to Chicago at this time, and everyone watched the game at the hotel. Ewing then said something sour:

"Parallel MVP! Sure enough, you can only score points with free throws!"

Li You noticed that the Jazz's game rhythm was faster, and the old man's basketball Rockets couldn't keep up with the Jazz's offense.

The atmosphere group followed to watch the fun, and the old Big Three lost, which everyone loved to hear.

"Rest early tonight, the game will be played tomorrow, adjust your physical condition!"

Although Ewing was unable to play, he still took on the role of leader. Before the game, he listened to the coach and did not gather with his friends. Everyone stayed in the hotel honestly.

Although there is no eating and drinking session, the atmosphere group doesn't care. Being able to wave the towel in the Eastern Conference Finals is already an achievement that many players find difficult to achieve.
Alan Houston is still not in a high mood and is still trying to cheer himself up.

"No more than 50 points, don't worry, Bro! If that's the case, here's our chance!"

Hearing Li You's words, Alan Houston said angrily:
"That's 50 points, I don't want to go through it again."

"."

On May 5, the vengeful Michael Jordan satirized Jeff Van Gundy again before the game:
"I don't understand why gathering with friends can affect the outcome of the game?"

"Coming to Chicago, I haven't been able to see a Knicks player these days, these silly little tricks, it didn't work last year, and it won't work this year!"

Before the game, Mike was interviewed in the locker room, almost mocking Jeff Van Gundy by name.

During the playoffs last year, the bald young coach satirized Michael as a hypocritical bastard. He gathered with his friends before the game in order to win the game easily.

The hurdle between the two is hard to pass. Even if he got the best coach, Jeff Van Gundy failed to win the respect of the other party.

In the division finals, the league did not pack too much, but the atmosphere in the United Center Arena became more and more heated, and the Bulls fans entered the stadium early.

The Knicks wore blue away jerseys tonight, and as DJ Ray Clay introduced the visiting players, boos continued.

Just as Li You, who appeared in the finale, was booed, the lights dimmed, and then, the annoying melody sounded again.

In the crude animation, the Mavericks shuttled through the city, and with the sharp rhythm of "Sirus", the Bulls fans at the scene began to cheer loudly.

Wearing white and red training uniforms, everyone on the Bulls came out one by one. Li You just formed a circle with his teammates at this time, and everyone screamed a few times, feeling a little sour in their hearts:
"It comes with BGM, but that's all!"

In the commentary seat of TNT on the scene, Dick Stockton got the starting list of both sides, and briefly introduced:

"Rodman returned to the starting lineup tonight, and it seems that his knee injury has almost recovered."

"It's still Ron Harper and Michael Jordan in the backcourt, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman up front, and Luke Longley at center."

Hubie Brown on the side saw the familiar starting roster of the Bulls, and also sighed:

"In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Bulls were looking for status, but now, they are ready and will attack the championship."

"The Knicks' Alan Houston will start this game, and the inside Charles Oakley and Buck Williams will have a lot of rebounding pressure."

"Patrick Ewing's absence has indeed brought a lot of trouble to the Knicks."

Players from both sides were doing their final warm-up, and the noise in the United Center arena was getting louder and louder.

When the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, he was in a good mood. Michael Jordan smiled, chewed gum, and took the initiative to bump fists with the Knicks.

Perhaps because of reading the newspaper, Michael Jordan finally knew which records Li You had broken. Before the game, he joked:
"Lee, feel the real playoffs tonight!"

"."

This remark disrespects the Knicks' previous opponents, but considering that most Eastern teams have been defeated by the Bulls, Li You can only smile
Playing in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time, against No. 1 in the league again, Alan Houston was so nervous that he didn't want to talk.

On the other side, Oakley smiled and bumped fists with everyone in the Bulls. Although the old guy wanted to win, he could accept defeat in his heart, and his mentality was very peaceful.
As the referee threw the basketball up, Luke Longley easily jumped to the ball, and the scene immediately burst into cheers.

Harper didn't ask for the ball either, and as in previous playoff games, Pippen dribbled the ball quickly across half court.

Larry Johnson matched up in time and came to the right flank. Harper immediately stepped forward to catch the ball. Pippen and others all pulled away. Michael Jordan was already in the right block and asked for the ball. .

After two dribbles, they were close to the three-point line. Under the interference of Li You, Harper sent a half-lob pass, Michael Jordan jumped up to catch the ball, and the Bulls moved again.

Longley came near the free throw line, Rodman was lying in ambush on the left baseline to grab a rebound, Pippen moved at the top of the arc, and Li You followed Harper to the left corner.

Before Larry Johnson stepped forward to double-team, after receiving the ball, Michael Jordan defended the ball with his left hand, and then he hit the ball with his left hand, approaching the paint area, and immediately turned to the bottom line. Jump shot!
Alan Houston's interference seems to have played a role, and the basketball knocked out of the frame!

On the Knicks side, Oakley has been desperately getting stuck, and Buck Williams is also entangled with Longley. "Auntie" saw the opportunity, retracted in time, and snatched Pippen in front of Pippen to protect the backcourt rebound.

Li You immediately stepped forward to respond, and after receiving the ball, he quickly moved to the right sideline, trying to get rid of Harper's entanglement.

The other Knicks players didn't even look at the backcourt. Li You took the ball, accelerated desperately, and rushed to the frontcourt in a swarm.

Phil Jackson sat on the bench with a smile, watching Harper quickly defending Li You, the Bulls also made adjustments tonight, and Harper completely turned into a defensive tool man
With rich defensive experience, Harper didn't intend to cut the ball at all at this time, but just followed Li You to slide quickly, trying to put his hands on his side to improve his perception.

The transition attack failed. The 2-meter Longley also knew the Knicks' strategy and retreated quickly.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Seeing Li You stop the ball on the right flank, the defensive cheers in the United Center arena became louder and louder.

Everyone on the Knicks also pulled away, and Alan Houston simply ran to the left flank.

Larry Johnson moved in the left elbow, ready to cooperate with Buck Williams near the baseline to rush for the rebound.

Oakley moved quickly, came to the three-point line and stood still, ready to pick and roll to cover, and Rodman also defended.

At this time, Li Youtu, who had been holding the ball in his left hand and protecting the ball sideways, raised his center of gravity, pretended to break through on the left side, and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back while Harper moved to stick to the defense.

The moment he switched to his right hand, he lowered his body's center of gravity, and Li You accelerated directly in a simple and rough manner. He had just dribbled past the three-point line, and stopped suddenly again, shaking his shoulders back, and then turned around to accelerate.

With a sudden stop and a quick start, Harper lost half of his body, and then another quick slide, Li You cut in, and Rodman also shrank.

The three of them came near the block on the right. Li You, who was advancing, suddenly circled the ball with one hand behind his back. His confusing movement made the two defenders pause slightly. Rodman subconsciously looked at Oakley at the elbow.

Harper reacted the fastest and hurriedly slid again, but Li You seized the opportunity and suddenly accelerated. The right side was near the bottom line, and quickly retreated. Without waiting for the opponent, he drifted to the right and shot a jumper!

"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance!

"Shhh!!"

Li You, who retreated, smiled and nodded his head with his right index finger. Rodman, who was deceived, was not angry, but clapped his hands and smiled, and then patted Harper, whispering a few words.

"Lee is in good shape. More emergency stops can help him get rid of the defense. However, the Bulls seem to have made targeted adjustments in this game. Pippen took over the ball earlier."

Watching the baseline free throw, Pippen dribbled the ball halfway, and Hubie Brown immediately guessed the Bulls' adjustment in the commentary.

It was still a conventional tactic, and Li You saw Langley asking for the ball with his back in the left block, and immediately reminded everyone loudly:

"Quick defense!"

Coming to the left flank, Pippen immediately lobbed the ball to Longley, and Buck Williams was behind him to prevent the opponent from going to the bottom line. At the same time, Larry Johnson quickly returned to double-team.

With just one hit, Longley quickly combined the ball, and then quickly returned the ball to Pippen who was outside the three-point line.

Buck Williams quickly circled forward to defend at this time, Longley took the opportunity to move to the basket, Pippen passed the ball again, in the paint, Longley who received the ball had just released the ball, and Oakley blocked it.

Coupled with Larry Johnson who slid over again, a three-person encirclement was formed directly in the paint area.

It was too late to pass the ball to Rodman under the basket, and Longley lost control of the ball after releasing the ball.

Oakley completed the steal, and Li You immediately stepped forward to respond, and the Knicks accelerated and ran towards the opponent's half again.

"Oh!!"

The transition between offense and defense was too fast, and the Bulls fans at the scene only had time to exclaim, and Li You rushed across the half court against Harper's defense.

Near the top of the arc, Li You showed no sign of slowing down.

Harper didn't lose his defensive position either. When he came to the three-point line, he realized that the ball in Li You's left hand was missing.

The exclamation of the fans came from the ear, and Harper turned his head to find Li You passing the ball behind his back, and found Alan Houston who was following up with a fast break.

On the right wing outside the three-point line, Alan Houston did not adjust after receiving the pass, and threw the ball as soon as he raised it!

Michael Jordan, who was staying within the three-point line, subconsciously made a defensive move, but he was still a beat slower.

"Shua!" Converted a three-point hollow into the net!
Not paying attention to the boos of the Bulls fans at the scene, Alan Houston was so excited that he pumped his fists in celebration.

When the opposing player scored on his head, Michael Jordan immediately lost his smile.

The Bulls' offense also sped up the tempo. Pippen dribbled the ball halfway through the court to Michael Jordan, who wanted the ball behind his back at the elbow to the left of the free throw line.

This time, there was no need for Li You to remind. Everyone in the Knicks team knew that it must be a singles. Larry Johnson immediately stepped forward to double-team, while Michael Jordan, who received the ball, turned around and released the ball, accelerating with all his strength.

After putting the ball with his left hand and taking two big steps, Michael Jordan suddenly stopped, then drifted to the left, and completed a fadeaway jumper!
Under the defense of the two, the basketball came out of the basket again and scrambled under the basket. Langley hit the rebound with his height advantage. Finally, Oakley saw the timing and grabbed the backcourt rebound with difficulty.

The Bulls suddenly changed their defensive form at this time. As soon as Li You received the ball, Harper immediately led the defense, and at the same time, Pippen also stepped forward to block.

Li You, who received the ball in the middle, saw that the situation was wrong. He turned around sharply, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and then moved laterally. Change direction.

At the moment when Harper was about to catch up and defend, Li You, who switched to his right hand, suddenly led the ball forward, and then exerted force with his feet to accelerate with all his strength.

Juggling, let Li You pass between the two.

The fans at the scene exclaimed again, watching Li You catch the ball with his left hand and cross the half court.

Just after passing the center line, Michael Jordan also rushed up, trying to delay Li You and cooperate with his teammates to complete the three-man encirclement.

The sudden increase in defensive intensity did not make Li You panic, and before Jordan could get in front of him, he threw the ball behind his back again while walking.

Alan Houston, who followed up, received the pass, and immediately slowed down as he approached the three-point line. The right wing stopped suddenly again, with no one in front of him, converted a three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"God! Wonderful cooperation! The Knicks played a beautiful counterattack again!"

"Lee played with the Bulls defense, unbelievable! So fast!"

In the TNT commentary booth, Dick Stockton was so excited that he raised the volume of his commentary as he watched Li You and Alan Houston bump their chests in celebration.

The United Center arena was booed everywhere, Harper and Pippen were stuck in place, looking at Li You who retreated in surprise, why did he pass by?

"Good job! Bro! That's it, Michael Jordan can't guard you, keep shooting, shoot the old guy on the other side!"

Li You, who retreated to defense, had already sensed the Bulls' defensive intentions, and felt that the game was going to be cold, so he took the opportunity to encourage Alan Houston.

After hitting two three-pointers in a row, all the tension before the game disappeared. Alan Houston only felt that his hand was hot, and he shouted loudly:
"Yes! Shoot those old guys!"

As soon as he turned his head and saw Michael Jordan looking at him, Alan Houston immediately lost his momentum, but Li You didn't care, walked back to defend, and continued to encourage:
"They are old, let's run and kill them tonight!"

Pursing his lips, and no longer chewing gum, Michael Jordan tilted his head and looked at the two people retreating, and finally caught up and applauded:
"Come on! What a great job!"
