Chapter 402: Equaling the Record in Team History!
Two rounds later, Li Wei made another steal, and the person who was cut off was Szzerbiak!
Szczerbiak had an innocent look on his face, and the Timberwolves' home fans booed in unison!
The referee gave a home whistle and blew Li Wei's foul, which didn't let him tie the Knicks' team history record!
At the same time, Li Wei's personal foul count has reached 5!
In the next round, the Knicks played a No. 44 tactic, Garnett broke through with the ball, and Li Wei went around the bottom corner and waited for three points. But after Garnett gave him the ball, he didn't shoot, but attracted the defense and passed it back!
This return pass angle is very good, Garnett took the ball and rushed to burst the dunk, and played a 2+1!
Li Wei's number of individual assists has also become 11!
The two sides continued to attack and defend, and the three rounds passed in a flash.
The Timberwolves played Li Wei in two of the rounds, once and once by Garnett's defense, Li Wei continued to gamble and steal without success!
In the fourth round, Timberwolves point guard Brandon stood at the top of the arc with the ball and organized, and the others ran away!
This time, they did not attack Li Wei, but played another tactic. However, the first choice of tactics Sprewell was prevented, and Brandon had to hand the ball to Joe Smith in the horn position, and cut inside without the ball!
Li Wei keenly saw that after the Timberwolves' tactic Joe Smith received the ball, the first pass choice was still Sprewell!
Looking back, he found that Sprewell was going around the screen, and he was about to receive the ball!
So the Knicks' No. 1 player immediately left Szzerbiak behind him and pounced!
Joe Smith didn't notice Li Wei pounced, and still handed the ball to Sprewell according to the tactics, but was intercepted by Li Wei halfway!
Trent Tucker said: "Beautiful, Coach Li completely predicted our tactical arrangement, let go of his own people and come to intercept the ball!" ”
Sean Grande said: "Sure enough, he deserves to be a coach, this appearance is really unusual!" ”
Trent Tucker said: "yes, it's so unexpected, who would have thought he could cross the half and grab this Joe Smith pass? ”
The referee shook his head when he saw Li Wei break another ball.
Although he wanted to take care of the Timberwolves fighting at home, Li Wei's steal was too clean to blow a foul at all!
In this way, Li Wei's personal steals reached 9, tying Mitchell Ray Richardson, who played for the Knicks 19 years ago!
Trent Tucker said: "It's incredible that Coach Lee actually tied the Knicks' single-game steal record in team history! ”
Sean Grande said: "Now it's up to him to see if he can break the record." Tucker, do you have a good relationship with the Knicks' single-game steal record holder Mitchell Ray Richardson? You've been teammates, right? ”
Trent Tucker said: "We weren't teammates, I was drafted in New York in the '82 draft, and that summer, Mitchell Ray Richardson was traded to the Warriors in exchange for Bernard King. ”
Sean Grande said, "You and Bernard King are teammates? ”
Trent Tucker said: "Yes, think back to the Christmas game in '84, I scored 64 points with Bernard King, but unfortunately we couldn't win for the team!" ”
Sean Grande said: "Haha, you guys combined for 64 points? Bernard King scored 60 points and you scored 4 points, right? ”
Trent Tucker said, "Sean, we don't have a grudge, do we?" Don't expose this kind of thing, when I say that I scored 64 points with Bernard Kim, you should be amazed and say, 'Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good that you can score 64 points with Bernard!' ’”
Sean Grande said: "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good that you can actually score 4 points in a single game, no wonder the Knicks will lose!" ”
Trent Tucker said, "Ahem, I only played 7 minutes of garbage time in that game, okay?" Losing doesn't have much to do with me. Speaking of which, Mitchell Ray Richardson, the Knicks' single-game steal record holder at the time, was on the Nets and was our opponent in the Christmas game, he scored 36 points and was the first contributor to the Nets' victory! ”
Shaun Grande said: "Mitchell Ray Richardson is also a very good player, otherwise he would not have traded Bernard King. ”
Trent Tucker said: "He was the No. 4 pick in '78, 1.96 meters tall, averaged 15.3 points, 10.1 assists and 3.2 steals per game in the second year of his career, was selected as an All-Star that year, the best defensive team, and was also the assist and steal king, and was considered the next Walter Fraser at the time." ”
Sean Grande said: "A playmaker who is 1.96 meters tall, which is really very dominant. Later, he was traded to the Warriors by the Knicks, and then traded to the Nets by the Warriors, and it seems that he was banned for two years for taking ten drugs? It was the poisonous ten products that ruined him! ”
Trent Tucker said: "A lot of people smoked this in those days, the most famous was Len Baias in '86, the Celtics wanted to use him as a cornerstone, and two days after the show ended, he died of a drug overdose!" ”
The two were chatting, and Li Wei on the court completed another steal, but the referee did not approve of it and whistled him for a foul again!
Six fouls, Li Wei was sent off!
Li Wei shrugged helplessly, and the data was fixed at 9 points, 1 rebound, 11 assists and 9 steals!
Byron Scott said: "David, you played really well today, we're nine points ahead now!" ”
Mike D'Antoni said: "It's a pity that the referee's home whistle blows too hard, otherwise you can brush up on a triple-double!" ”
Byron Scott said: "9 points, 9 steals and 11 assists, tsk, your quasi-triple-double is interesting, you didn't even achieve a double-double!" ”
"Damn the referee, you know to blow me for a foul!" Li Wei complained.
He is really in good shape today, obviously he can brush a triple double, at least two doubles, but he was actually sent off by the referee, and anyone will be depressed!
However, this is the home court of the Timberwolves after all, no matter how clean his steals are, the fans on the sidelines are shouting that Li Wei has fouled, and the Timberwolves players are also deliberately complaining, the referee's whistle cannot be biased!
Anyway, Li Wei's assists are double-double, this is the first game in his career to have double-double assists, and at the same time, his single-game steals have also tied the team history record!
It was a great game to remember!
Now it's up to the team to win!
After Nash came on the court, the Timberwolves chased for a while, but unfortunately they didn't catch up, and the Knicks finally won 113-110!
It has always been said in China that this is a Yao orangutan battle, and Da Yao scored 14 points and 8 rebounds in the game, in addition to 3 blocks. Gorilla Ewing played mediocre under the strict defense of Da Yao and Nesterovich, with only 17 points and 9 rebounds.
Because Li Wei didn't have much time to play against Trill Brandon on the defensive end, Brandon's data didn't explode, only scoring 16 points and 10 assists, but the rest of Li Wei's defense data exploded!
This year's rookie Szczebiak scored 23 points, and Anthony Peeler and Sam Mitchell also scored double-doubles!
Garnett had 35 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, while Nowitzki also scored 20 points off the bench, Houston had 18 points and Maddie had 16 points. Nash played little time and had only five points and five assists.
The next day, major media outlets in New York reported that the Knicks had won six in a row against the Timberwolves. Li Wei stole the spotlight in various reports, and the first contributor to the team's victory was Garnett, who scored 35 points, but major media are promoting him!
With 9 points, 9 steals and 11 assists, Coach Li not only scored a quasi-triple-double, but also tied the single-game steal record in team history!
