Player of the Week is not a big honor in Lee's eyes, and this award is usually given to young players with popularity and statistics.

But Li You forgot one thing, the Player of the Week in 96 was only awarded to one player, and this award was not rotten on the street, and when he won the award, there were a lot of lemons.

In the last game before Christmas, the Knicks continued to stick to the "iron and blood" defense, allowing the Hawks to score only 19 points in the first quarter.

At 42:51, by the end of the half, the Knicks had taken a nine-point lead.

The Eagles' twin towers Kristen Leitner and DiCambe Mutombo played particularly depressed in the first half.

After Patrick Ewing started with a 3-0 shot, he no longer had a low head and a hard chisel, and his frequent pick-and-rolls forced the Hawks' twin towers to help.

Chris Childs played more restrained after the opening, but Lee Woo threw it when he had the opportunity after he came on the court.

Mutombo didn't care at first, continuing to crouch and stay in the paint, but after Lee hit three three-pointers in a row, the DPOY reluctantly left his most familiar defensive position.

The New York fans at the scene felt that tonight's tickets were not lost, and Li You lived up to everyone's expectations, showing off his work from time to time.

Madison Square Garden also had a strong Christmas atmosphere tonight, and the star audience in the front row may not care about this, but the ordinary fans who bought the back row tickets have already followed the music.

"If we win this game, we'll have a 20-6 record, just ahead of the Heat and third in the East."

"It's not as good as the Bulls, but I still want to give credit to Coach Van Gundy for giving a satisfying answer when he took over the team."

In the MSG live commentary seat, commentator John Andris took advantage of the halftime to comment on the Knicks' opening record, and the professional ball commentator also began to say good things about Van Gundy.

"The Knicks were a real surprise ahead of Christmas, continuing to play a great defense while playing a fluid offense."

"Lee's arrival has played a key role in giving the team more attacking options, and by the end of the month, he turned 19 and I think a lot of fans are already looking forward to the future of the team!"

Commentator Marv-Albert was also unceremonious, continuing to tout.

The two commented on the game, and both subconsciously avoided the question of the championship, and the dominance that the Bulls are showing so far is too strong!

As veteran commentators at home, they don't want to paint a big picture for the fans...

As Christmas approached, the new Walter McCarty had a good two days back in New York, with Oakley no longer letting him run errands and the locker room feeling was happy.

"Next time you go to Atlanta to play away, I'll take you to a good place, Lee, you have to enjoy life when you make money, you're 19 years old!"

"Di Cambe won't lie to me, it's said that the owner of that local club is still our fan!"

Patrick Ewing, who has not been criticized by the New York media lately, returns to the locker room and introduces the wonderful places he just heard from a friend.

Before Li You could speak, Larry Johnson on the side asked with great interest:

"Pat, how about privacy, you know, I don't want to be in the newspaper the next day!"

Ewing heard the inquiry, and immediately pulled out his friend to assure:

"Dicambe is an honest man, a lot of celebrities have been to the Gold Club, they have only been able to change their business model for a few months, and they can wait and see for a few months!"

LSPs all laughed, it was difficult for ordinary business to stimulate them, and it was rare to have a club with a variety of tricks and continuous praise, and everyone was itching.

Li You noticed that Alan Houston was silent, and immediately joked:

"Are you still planning to get married this year? Single life is actually very beautiful! ”

Alan Houston has been in a bad mood lately, mainly because he was booed by fans back in Detroit.

Coupled with the growing popularity of his former budding teammate Grant Hill, but his own struggle with the Knicks, Alan Houston has been in the past few days:

"I just want to stabilize my playing time, Lee, sometimes I envy your shooting talent, you always adjust your form quickly."

Houston's playing time was eaten up a lot by Starks, and Li You could only pat the opponent on the shoulder to comfort him.

The Knicks' rotation began to stabilize, and the amount of playing time depended on the state of the players that night.

Although Van Gundy often hangs up, most of the games are still centered on the inside attack, and Li You and their outside can only roll in...

As Christmas approached, and in the second half of the game, the Eagles didn't have much to think about, and Jeff Van Gundy tried to make his players appear on the court without much pressure in the game.

Of course, the young coach knows that there are many family members of the players tonight, and being able to play can be regarded as selling the player's face.

The two sides played frequently in the second half, but no one cared at this time, everyone wanted to end the game as soon as possible, and then go home safely for the holidays.

In the end, at 86:98, the Knicks won their last game before Christmas at home, which was a Christmas gift for New York fans.

After the game, the two alumni, Mutombo and Ewing, were still whispering and laughing.

Many of the players were greeting their families in attendance, and Lee sighed at this, and he also missed his time in Albuquerque.

Back in the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy applauded the players with the coaching staff, and the team's staff were also present, with a smile on everyone's faces:

"20-6, I'm very proud of that result!"

"It doesn't matter if we don't have a Christmas fight, we're going to prove ourselves again, we're going to make it to the finals again!"

"Now, enjoy the holiday season in peace and say hello to my family and Merry Christmas on my behalf!"

After Jeff Van Gundy said this, he hugged every player with a smile, and the staff also cheered, everyone loves to take a holiday!

"Well done, Lee! Player of the Week means that the league recognizes you, of course, remember to protect your body, rookies will encounter some difficulties, communicate with the coaching staff in time, dangerous and tired! ”

Li You heard Van Gundy's serious advice, and immediately hugged the young marshal hard, this is indeed a good person:

"Don't worry about me, coach! I'm ready, Merry Christmas! ”

Every rookie will encounter difficulties, with fitness, injuries, technical characteristics being figured out, team tactical mismatches, and so on.

Li You is not a steel body, and there are also bruises and purples on his legs, and under the intensive schedule, these hard injuries continue to accumulate, which will definitely affect the state of the game.

Ewing wears thick straps on both knees every time he plays, Alan Houston's fingers are swollen, "Big Mom" sometimes has a dull pain in his back, and Oakley also has bruises from the collision.

If there is no structural injury, everyone has to continue to play, there is no rotation, and the fans buy tickets to watch the game, not to see the players sitting on the bench in formal suits.

Everyone is smiling, everyone can enjoy the Christmas holiday tonight, equipment manager Mike Sr. looked at the lively locker room, and also smiled and whispered to the staff next to him:

"I have a hunch that we will succeed!"
