On August 1st, Li You also flew to Atlanta with his friends, the 26th Summer Olympics is coming to an end, and it will be too late if you don't join in the fun!

The most eye-catching event of the day was the track and field competition, where Lee Yow was also on hand to witness Michael Johnson win the men's 400m in 43.49 seconds.

After a day of tossing, everyone's excitement has been relieved, except for the big man Nate who has made his home in Los Angeles, everyone on the Connecticut basketball team is here today.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, everyone scolded the profiteers for not being human, and during the Summer Olympics, the price of accommodation rose a lot...

Ray Allen has always been in a bad mood, playing in Milwaukee and always feeling that the future is bright.

"It's not bad to play for the Bucks, and it's in the same central zone as the Bulls, so I have more opportunities to meet my idols!"

Lee Yoo joked about the frowning Ray Allen, who had been clamoring to play against Michael Jordan in the past, but this time the dream came true, and in the middle of the same zone, the Bucks and Bulls had many opportunities to play each other.

Ray Allen sighed helplessly, his life plan was disrupted the moment he was chosen:

"That's the only good news, but playing with the Bucks, I should be able to get a starting spot and I don't lack playing time, but I don't have too many shots."

"Did you see your teammates with the Knicks? It always feels like they're not easy to get along with. ”

Li You feels that the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room is not destined to be too good, to put it simply, it is full of big brothers...

"It's the offseason, and the veterans aren't interested in saying hello to the rookies, but John is a good guy and he's got me a good apartment in Manhattan."

Ray Allen didn't like the Knicks' style of play at all, and when he was in school, he went to New York to watch games, mostly to watch away teams.

The Knicks' offense is often worse than bad, using "iron and blood" defense to pull the opponent to the same level as themselves, and then relying on rich experience, and then win:

"I hope our rookie season goes well, and I think the Bulls can still win the championship in the new season!"

Li You saw that Ray Allen had a tendency to become a brainless fan again, so he hurriedly diverted the topic:

"After the closing ceremony, you can come to New York for a few days, life in Milwaukee is really boring!"

“...”

On August 3, at the Olympic Centennial Stadium in Atlanta, the "Dream Three Team" easily defeated the Yugoslav national team 95:69 and won the men's basketball gold medal.

The "four centers" except Ewing all participated in this Olympic Games, and Li You also witnessed the dominance of the "Dream Team" on the spot.

The Chinese men's basketball team also achieved a good result of eighth place in this Olympic Games, and its performance was also impressive!

1996 was also the 100th anniversary of the birth of the modern Olympic Games, and after watching the closing ceremony on August 4, everyone flew back to New York early without stopping too much in Atlanta.

After the Olympics, the free agency market is buzzing again, and the Suns' Charles Barkley has been mired in trade rumors lately, but Phoenix fans don't believe Barkley will leave.

On August 19th, a blockbuster deal reappeared:

The Houston Rockets traded Chaki Brown, Mark Bryant, Sam Cassel and Robert Horry to the Phoenix Suns;

In the end, Charles Barkley and a 1999 second-round pick were traded.

33-year-old Charles Barkley, 33-year-old Hakeem Olajuwon, and 34-year-old Clyde Dedraxler make up the Houston Rockets' senior triumvirate!

Although a little older, the sports media spoke highly of the deal, and the New York media just got lemon:

"The current Knicks' offseason reinforcements don't give us any hope of winning the championship!"

A new wave of crusades against Ewing and John Starks has swept New York again, and fans and media are starting to miss the championship-winning Knicks in the '70s...

In addition to subscribing to the Wall Street Journal, Li You also buys a copy of the New York Post every day.

New York's media Cha Lemon, following the trend to blow the Houston Rockets' senior Big Three, has become a source of happiness for Lee Woo at the end of August.

After training step by step and being teammates with Ray Allen for two years, what Li You learned was to act according to the plan.

Everything can be refined, and Li You does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder like Ray Allen, and occasionally relaxes.

Even if there was no competition, [Ray Allen's excellent explosiveness] turned completely green, and the hard work paid off.

On September 4, the Knicks signed veteran Buck Williams, which was another addition to the interior line, but the deal was disparaged by the New York media.

The veteran hasn't played a game for the Knicks before he's been labeled as a puller.

With preseason games to play in early October, the Knicks also started training camp early.

Lee spent more than two months in Manhattan and met only John Starks and Alan Houston, who had just arrived with the team.

The former was his neighbor, and the latter was met at the New York Athletic Club.

Alan Houston's native is not bad, and he is still a devout Christian, which made a good impression on Li You, and the two trained together for a week.

On the morning of the 10th, John Starks, who had returned from vacation, circled around Li You's car in the parking lot of his apartment.

"You actually drive such an old-fashioned car, and you have to spend when you make money! A new Chevrolet sports car costs less than $40,000. ”

Li You pouted, that's 40,000 US dollars! It's enough for a normal family to live in affluence for a year!

"A classic from 1982, it's hard to find a red Chevrolet Monte Carlo in such a good condition on the market!"

This car was found by Li You when he came to study at the University of Connecticut, and the top-of-the-line car at that time is not outdated until now.

Sitting in the car, Starks looked at the neat interior, and sniffed the air in the car twice:

"It doesn't smell like a leaf, it's not bad, young people better not suck those things!"

"Just to introduce you to the rules of the locker room, the rookie has to serve the veterans!"

When Li You, who was driving, heard this, he immediately smiled and asked:

"Didn't you tell me that the Knicks are very united and have a great atmosphere inside?"

Pressing the window of the car and looking at the street scene outside the window, Starks, who was on crutches, seemed to have forgotten his previous words, and smiled:

"It was true that the team was united before, but you know, the new Larry Johnson is definitely a bad guy to get along with!"

"Grandmama didn't have a good relationship with his teammates with the Hornets, and when he came to New York, his status dropped, so don't expect him to have a good look."

"Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing are old-fashioned, and the new players have to serve these two guys, and it's inevitable to run daily errands."

"The most important thing is that I am also a 31-year-old veteran, and it is time to enjoy the treatment of a veteran, Lee, you are the youngest in the team, you know some rules!"

Li You, who was driving, turned his head and pulled out a smile, but scolded secretly in his heart:

"The grades are not good, there are big brothers everywhere!"
