On October 10, 1996, the Knicks were about to usher in the preseason, but for the old ball ruffians, the preseason was a public trip.

The Knicks will host the Bulls tomorrow night, and tickets are currently sold out, and the New York media often scold the Bulls, but most fans still enjoy watching Michael Jordan play.

Park Avenue Country Club is an upscale nightclub that opened in '94 and can also be called a private club.

After the Bulls arrived in New York, Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley brought Starks, Charlie Ward, and Lee You to entertain Michael Jordan here.

Integrating elements of the American Country Club and the British Noble Club, the overall environment is elegant and comfortable, and Li You breathed a sigh of relief when he came here, and finally did not have to listen to the chanting of the scriptures.

Different from the smoky low-level nightclubs, most of the people who come here are rich Kaizi, although the scene is still very lively, but in general, there is rarely a "fake" sound...

"Haha, Pat Riley's little henchman hasn't allowed us to meet yet, saying I'm a liar and who does he think he is?!"

"We are partners, when have I ever cheated on my friend? Old Oak, you know me best, I have never cheated on my friends! ”

Michael Jordan, who was a little drunk, had already thrown his blazer aside at this time, and his face was flushed and he turned over the old accounts loudly.

Charles Oakley felt that his little brother had always respected him, and he did not hesitate to echo:

"That's right, although Michael is a bastard on the court, he doesn't have to say anything to his friends, and Van Gundy's bullshit doesn't have to be taken to heart!"

On the other side, Scottie Pippen is holding his girlfriend Larsa, who has been dating for more than a year, and if there is no one, it is estimated that the two have already fought...

Ron Harper and Steve Cole were binge-drinking, and everyone had just gone to the dance floor to quench their thirst with a drink.

Li You was also a little dazed, eating, drinking, and gambling, and the entertainment of this era was so unpretentious.

Patrick Ewing didn't scold Van Gundy with his friends, and when he came to the gambling session of the party, he hurriedly shouted to Li You:

"Li, it's your turn to play, 21 o'clock, we're going to kill the Quartet tonight!"

Michael Jordan, who was completely amused, began to beckon the service staff on the side to change drinks, and then handed out cigars to everyone:

"Try this Cuban cigar with a very strong aroma, I've been hooked on it lately!"

"Boy, you're from New Mexico, Charles told me you don't touch leaves, that's fine, I don't deal with poisonous dogs!"

Michael Jordan, who was dazed, handed the cigar to Li You, and after a phone call, he laughed and motioned for everyone to swallow the clouds together...

Larsa, who was born as a model, did not mind the smoky scene, but continued to snuggle in Pippen's arms, and said coquettishly:

"Don't lose too much, your gambling luck has been bad lately!"

Li You looked at the two people who were kissing together again and was speechless, no wonder that Xiao Danzi staged a drama of "I Nima, love my aunt" in the future, ordinary people really can't stand it...

On the gambling table, there is no big brother, and after playing a few games, Li You also ripped off his shirt and shouted:

"Double down, I've won this game!"

A few rounds later, Michael Jordan's eyes were red after losing, and the gambling addiction immediately came up:

"Hell! Don't leave anyone tonight! ”

“...”

On the morning of the 11th, Jeff Van Gundy looked at Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing on the training pitch with an ugly face.

The pervasive New York media broke the news this morning about the Bulls' movement after they arrived in New York, and a photo of Dennis Rodman dancing on the dance floor appeared on the New York Post's sports page.

I don't know where the news came from, but some articles vividly describe the scene where Li You slaughtered all sides at the gambling table and won Michael Jordan's eyes red.

The news is indeed a bit exaggerated, Li You won less than 10,000 US dollars in one night, and in the end, he didn't lose a few times, and no one wanted to go home...

New York fans were happy to hear about the news, and they followed suit, and the media also had a topic:

"Jeff Van Gundy can't bind the team, maybe we should consider changing a competent manager!"

“...”

The old guys couldn't stand it, but Li You was like no one, youth is capital, and after sleeping for less than 4 hours, he basically came back to life with full blood.

At 7 p.m. that night, half an hour before the start of the game, the Madison Square Garden arena was already full.

As an international metropolis, the Knicks never worry about selling tickets, and many fans bought tickets tonight to see Michael Jordan.

Even if it's just a preseason game, the MSG TV network continues to broadcast it as usual.

Commentator Marv Albert, known as the "New York Voice," and basketball analyst John Kenneth were a little dazed after the game began, and the two teams' starters were too iron...

The first quarter of the game played 7 minutes and 12 seconds, when the score was 15:13, and the starting lineups of both sides were in no state.

Phil Jackson didn't care about the score on the court at all, and was even in the mood to laugh at Spike Lee on the sidelines.

On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy had a serious look on his face and stood on the sidelines and commanded loudly.

"Shh

Michael Jordan passed Alan Houston and broke through to draw a foul on Charles Oakley, scoring two free throws that immediately booed from the crowd.

Jeff Van Gundy took the opportunity to frown and replace the starting Oakley and John Starks, with Lee Yo and veteran Buck Williams coming on.

"Li, control the pace of the game, don't make any more low-level mistakes!"

Perhaps because of staying up late to play cards last night, the Knicks had three turnovers in the first quarter.

Wearing the Knicks' white jersey with the number 1 printed on the back, Li You listened to Van Gundy's advice while tugging at the long white arm guard on his right arm.

Li You, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately attracted the attention of the fans at the scene, and the long arm guard was a novelty.

After hitting his right elbow two days ago, Li You customized several sets of arm guards, and brought this thing just to install X!

As soon as Michael Jordan, who made both free throws, saw Lee Woo playing, he immediately patted Harper when he returned to the defense, and at the same time turned his head to signal the intensity.

At this time, the Madison Square Garden Arena was extremely noisy, and after watching the constipation attack for most of the quarter, the fans who bought tickets were about to sit still.

Alan Houston served the ball in the backcourt, and as soon as Lee You received the ball, Harper posted it up, showing a completely different defensive style.

After Li You dribbled the ball behind his back, he kept accelerating with the ball in his right hand, and muttered by the way:

"The old guy is so stingy!"

After dribbling past half-court, Lee Woo protected the ball sideways, and Patrick Ewing quickly came to the top of the arc to block and dismantle at this time.

Just standing still, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly dribbled behind his back twice in a row, and his body jumped forward.

Patrick Ewing's cover was all fake, and the big man hung up and immediately went down, waiting to catch the ball, and Harper effortlessly continued to chase the defense.

Li You, who was close to the three-point line at the top of the arc, took advantage of Harper's sliding step and suddenly pulled back his crotch sharply.

Under the emergency stop, Harper immediately lost his defensive position, and before he could save, Li You quickly closed the ball outside the three-point line, and threw the ball away!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Accustomed to seeing constipated attacks, Li You's fancy shaking and crisp goals suddenly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans immediately cheered loudly.

Li You, who retired with a smile, could see the surprised eyes of everyone on the field, and he was in a good mood for a while:

"The coach can stipulate who is the core, but he can't control who the audience likes to watch!"
