Chapter 51: Beautiful Muscles (Part I)

In college, Lee watched a lot of Stockton game footage, and he was impressed by the Jazz's tactical system.

But after the real fight, Li You felt that the other party was stronger than the technical statistics, and he was definitely deserved to lead the Western League.

Compared to the slow pace of the Knicks, the Jazz will suddenly speed up as soon as they have the opportunity to switch offense.

It's just that Stockton's unexpected early departure still had a big impact on the Jazz, and guard Howard Easley, who came off the bench, was too cautious and couldn't give the ball to Karl Malone, who was running wildly.

The transition offense turned into a positional battle again, and Madison Square Garden immediately resounded with cheers!

"Nice defense! Ewing managed to interfere with Karl Malone's strong attack under the basket! ”

Seeing Malone receive the ball near the baseline on the left side and arch to the basket to hit the basket, commentator Marv-Albert immediately raised his voice.

Ewing, who grabbed the rebound, gave the ball to Lee Woo as soon as possible, and then everyone on the Knicks began to run desperately to the opposing half.

The cautious Howard Easley didn't choose to step forward and delay at the first time, but quickly stepped back and tried to finish the defense on the three-point line.

Easily observing the situation on the field, Li You, who held the ball in his left hand, did not accelerate with all his strength, and when he dribbled past the half court and approached the left wing, he simply slowed down and stopped the ball.

The moment he dribbled quickly with his left hand and caught the ball with his right hand, Lee Woo took advantage of Howard Easley's slide to the left and dribbled behind his back again.

The moment he switched to his left hand, raising the center of gravity of his body, Li You's gaze looked at the top of the arc.

Howard Easley thought that Li You stopped the ball to stabilize and reorganize the attack, but the next second he saw Li You suddenly turn around and throw the ball out with his left hand instantly.

"Oh!!"

In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, the basketball spun and smashed on the floor, bounced back and turned a corner and flew directly to the basket.

Larry Johnson, who had just rushed to the paint area, took advantage of the situation to catch the ball, carried away Brian Russell, who was chasing on his side, and hit the board and put the basket to win!

"Oh! Incredible passing, incredible view of the pitch! ”

On the on-site commentary seat, commentator John Andaris also exclaimed, like the fans, he was also deceived by Li You.

Scoring for the first time in this game, "Big Mom" gave Li You a thumbs up, and after more than a month of running-in, everyone in the Knicks team has adapted to Li You's playing style:

"Switch offense, run and you're done!"

At 12:18, with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, the Jazz's offense suddenly went silent.

Jerry Sloan, who was on the sidelines, also began to shout loudly, gesturing to hit the ball inside.

The big man Ostertag is going deeper this time, catching the ball in the paint area, leaning on Ewing, holding it high and shooting high!

Jeff Van Gundy was already on the hook at this time, and he shouted twice on the defensive end, and when the team attacked, he could only pretend to put his arms up and pose like this...

Alan Houston quickly served the baseline ball, and after receiving the ball, Li You noticed that Howard Easley moved quickly, ready to lead the defense, and suddenly sent the ball forward with his right hand.

Howard Easley thought it was a mistake, and subconsciously pounced forward, and the next second Li You immediately pulled the ball with his left hand, completed the moment of changing direction, led the ball forward again, and then accelerated with all his might.

Howard Easley, who was still trying to twist and slide to chase after the defense, was shaken to the ground with garlic under his feet, and fell to the floor with a plop...

“WOW!!”

The Madison Square Garden Arena instantly exploded at this moment, and all the spectators at the scene shouted along with it.

Catching the ball again with his right hand, Li Youran kept accelerating, and Hornacek saw his teammates rushing into the street and hurriedly made up for it.

Li You, who came to the top of the arc, passed the ball quickly behind the ball when Hornacek was on the defensive.

The basketball accurately fell into the hands of Alan Houston, who followed up, the left wing outside the three-point line, unguarded, and quickly jumped out of the three-point line!

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

"God! It's so exciting, it's so creative, and Houston has seized the opportunity! Perfect offense! ”

The narrator, Marv-Albert, seems to be still reminiscing about Li You's excellence, and is so excited that he cries out to God...

Alan Houston, who threw in the three-pointer, shouted excitedly, this offense must have been on TV after the game!

Seeing the New York fans at the scene standing up and applauding, Li You was a little confused, and then he reacted that "Shammgod" didn't seem to have appeared in an NBA game...

With a smile on his face, Li You, who was retreating, took the opportunity to raise his hands and signal everyone to continue cheering, this X pretended, and he scored 99 points for himself!

At 14:21, seeing that the Knicks were about to explode, Jerry Sloan pulled on a face and asked for a timeout.

When the background board was made, Howard Easley, who was already completely confused, returned to his seat with a blank expression, and everyone on the Jazz team looked ugly.

Tonight's game was NBC's national live broadcast, and the result was a live show...

Everyone on the Knicks bench was overjoyed, everyone was grinning, and they were all in a state of self-satisfaction, and they all stepped forward to high-five Lee Woo in celebration.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't add drama to himself, but simply told everyone:

"Pay attention to the rebound, don't give them a second chance!"

Patrick Ewing nodded, and although the gorilla had lemons in his heart, he also knew that this was the time to go all out and extend the lead.

After a timeout, Hornace on the Jazz's side made a pull-up jump shot at the free throw line after the pick-and-roll.

Looking back, Lee Woo-li used Oakley's cover at the top of the arc to attract Malone's help defense, and his left hand accurately hit the ground with his back, and Oakley, who received the ball, made an empty jumper at the right elbow position.

After the old guy scored, he shook his head and pointed to the position of Ma Long, signaling that he had returned a goal...

At 16:23, the Jazz's defensive moves grew louder as Jerry Sloan began to shout loudly.

The number of fouls rose gradually, and the continuous iron hit made the New York fans at the scene immediately send boos.

At the end of the first quarter, Lee Yoo received a pass from Ewing in the low post, flew to Howard Easley from outside the three-point line, easily broke through to the basket, and the throw was successful, and it also caused a foul on the big man Ostertag.

Jerry Sloan was very unhappy with the round and immediately replaced the 2.18m big center.

When he made free throws, he was 1 of 6, and the first quarter was almost over, and he only scored 2 points, and the annoyed Karl Malone stared at the free throws Li You and said viciously:

"Rookie, go to the basket and I'll let you lie on the floor!"

Charles Oakley couldn't see Malone pretending to be X, holding his knees, and immediately issued a warning:

"Mom Fake Fake, be careful that I blow your head off the next turn!"

When the referee heard the words of the two, he immediately stepped forward and whispered a verbal warning, and there can be no more brawls in the live broadcast of the United States...

Li You took advantage of the referee's inattention, and raised his middle finger to Ma Long's left hand, silently "Fake squid"!

When the referee turned around, Li You pulled out a smile again, took the basketball, and scored the ball with a smile.

The fans in the front row all followed loudly, and Jerry Sloan, who was on the sidelines, saw Karl Malone being smashed in anger, and hurriedly reminded loudly:

"Calm down, all calm down!"
