Chapter 40: Interesting All-American Live Streaming (1)

On November 11, 1996, the NBA announced its first Player of the Week of the season.

The Rockets went 4-0 in last week's game, and the senior Big Three were invincible!

Hakeem Olajuwon was named Player of the Week of the first week, the super center averaged 36 minutes per game, averaging 32.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.8 blocks and 2.8 turnovers per game;

He averaged 23.5 shots per game and shot 47.9 percent from the field and 13.3 free throws per game at 77.4 percent

After the announcement of the Player of the Week, Lee You also saw this data that is very characteristic of the times.

Unlike the future style of play dominated by outside players, it is still the era of the "four centers".

After Barkley hugged his thigh, Olajuwon did not reduce his shots, this is the row of super centers!

On the night of the 12th, Olajuwon received the award at Houston's home stadium, while Patrick Ewing in New York was not in a good mood and did not say a word in the locker room before the game.

Tonight's game is in the spotlight, with the Knicks having 25 games streamed across the U.S. this season, tied for first place with the Chicago Bulls for the most streamed games in the U.S. this season.

Patrick Ewing's frustration also has to do with tonight's opponent.

Prior to this, the 76ers had a 2-3 record, and in the last game against the Suns, Iverson played 26 minutes, 3-of-10, and got 6 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 9 turnovers.

Such a crotch-pulling performance not only did not receive criticism, but also praised Iverson's comprehensiveness:

"Even if he doesn't shoot well, Iverson can still lead the team to victory!"

“...”

The New York media followed the stinky foot, and Patrick Ewing felt uncomfortable, he felt that he was being treated with a double standard.

The 76ers have also hired a rookie head coach this season, and if the results are not good, Johnny Davis will most likely have to be responsible for the mess.

In this battle of focus, for fans in New York, everyone wants to see Li You play.

Despite not having much playing time before, Lee Woo has always been featured on ESPN's Sports Center.

The top ten goals of the day have become the best publicity channel for Li You, and it is not easy to go to TV this year, even if the data of individual games pull the crotch fans don't care, but look forward to Li You to continue to live...

As a result, Jeff Van Gundy fed the New York fans again that night, and Charlie Ward continued to start.

Alan Houston sprained his ankle early in the game, and then Starks came on immediately.

Such a substitution immediately made the New York fans at the scene angry, and there were boos for a while.

Ewing was aggressive tonight, frequently asking for the ball in the low post against the 76ers' interior combination of Derrick Coleman and Scott Williams.

Both Starks and Charlie Ward honestly sent passes and watched Ewing hit the iron.

Fortunately, Charles Oakley's ferocious fight for frontcourt rebounds delayed the 76ers' transition offense, and never let the opponent widen the difference.

Lee almost burst out laughing when he saw Larry Johnson on the bench after catching the ball from beyond the three-point line and making a jumper.

"Big Mom" was forced to become a real small forward, and the style of the game changed abruptly, and she began to project more from the outside.

Alan Houston returned to the bench after re-tying his feet, and after seeing "Big Mom" hit a long two-point shot, he immediately sighed in a low voice:

"Larry had a good hand tonight, he should have played like this, like Oakley, shooting more mid-range, and there was no need to stick to the low post all the time."

Larry Johnson appears to have been affected by a back injury and is currently inefficient at the basket.

In the previous games, when Ewing responded in a low position, "Big Mom" could only cut in without the ball and change the style of play, which was a forced choice.

"Larry did make the right choice, and if he had been a little more decisive, he wouldn't have taken less than 10 shots always."

Hearing Li You ridiculing the treatment of "Big Mom" in the team, Alan Houston hurriedly grabbed a towel to cover his face and laughed, Larry Johnson is the most aggrieved starter on the team...

With 10:42 left to play the first quarter, the 76ers finally hit a transition offense as Ewing hit a jumper from near the baseline on the right side.

Scott Williams protected the backcourt rebound and threw the ball to Iverson in the first place.

The latter received the ball and rushed with his head down, and the Knicks could only desperately return to defense, Iverson was fast, taking advantage of the failure of the defense to complete the landing position, and hit the basket directly.

In the paint area, after rushing up in three steps, ignoring Charlie Ward, who jumped on his side, Iverson tilted his body and threw with one hand with his right hand!

"Squeak! Hmm..."

When the whistle blew and the ball went in, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines noticed Charlie Ward's two fouls, took advantage of Iverson's free throws, and began to call for Li You.

With Iverson hitting a free throw, the score came to 26-22 and the Knicks trailed by four points.

The two teams also began to rotate personnel, with Iverson being replaced by Doug O'Werton and Lee Woo replacing Charlie Ward.

Starting from receiving the ball in the backcourt, facing Doug O'Everton's lead defense, Li You changed direction several times under his crotch and turned quickly to easily pass the half.

Charles Oakley was the first to come to the top of the arc to block and tactically dictate, Lee Woo should move to the right wing and then give the ball to Ewing who was in the low post.

Doug O'Warton also thought that Lee Yow would pass the ball inside, after all, Ewing had begun to pout and relaxed a little on the defensive end.

At the top of the arc, Lee You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not wait for Charles Oakley to stand still, and suddenly dribbled twice in a row with extremely fast back.

Li You's body first swayed to the right with the rhythm of the dribble, and the moment he grabbed the ball with his left hand, he violently lowered his center of gravity and moved sideways to the left to accelerate.

The sudden wobble caused Doug O'Werton to lose his defensive position in an instant.

Following the change of defense, Coleman didn't have time to delay the defense, and Li You, who got rid of the defense, immediately closed the ball and quickly jumped at the top of the arc!

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

Ewing, who was still pouting on the inside, turned his head and saw the basketball into the frame, and when he heard a huge cheer in his ears, his face suddenly sank.

Li You didn't care about the gorilla's gaze, but raised his left arm and raised three fingers to signal that the scene was louder.

In the next round, on the side of the 76ers, with a simple pick-and-roll attack, Coleman, who was full of hands, easily hit a long two points in the right elbow area.

When the 76ers were still slowly retreating, Li You continued to accelerate after receiving the baseline ball, chasing the opponent's butt and dribbling through the half.

At this point, Charles Oakley and Ewing haven't crossed the halfway line.

On the right wing outside the three-point line, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, slowed down slightly, and then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and changed direction with a very fast crotch dribble and his body, "bang" twice, Doug O'Everton was stunned in place and watched Li You kill to the basket.

Approaching the paint area, noticing that Scott Williams had returned to the basket, Lee Yoo still did not slow down.

After rushing up in three steps, the two confronted each other in the air, Li You ignored the opponent's block, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, twisted his body and threw it casually!

"Squeak! Bang... Swish! ”

The whistle blew and the ball went in, and after landing, Li You didn't look at the old guys who had just passed the half, and beat his chest at the camera under the basket with an expressionless face!

There was another huge cheer at Madison Square Garden, and Jeff Van Gundy looked at the time on the sidelines, then finally turned his head back to the bench and was completely in custody...
