For Li You, the most uncomfortable thing to encounter when entering the league is that there are too many small players in the opposite position.

Kevin Johnson is only 1.85 meters tall, and his style of play is more exciting than Stockton's.

The common characteristic of the two is that they have a lot of experience in defense, and at the same time, they have a lot of small movements.

At the end of a game, the ball protector has to work hard to protect the basketball, and at the same time, a simple block and pick and tear does not always play the desired effect.

After Kevin Johnson got used to Lee Yo's style of play, the seasoned old-school defender stealthily pulled his thighs as soon as he found himself out of position when he squeezed cover...

This trick is extremely useful, Li You has been disrupted by the dribbling rhythm several times, and once he fails to get rid of the defense, the opponent will immediately entangle.

The two competed frequently, and the Suns fans at the scene also coaxed.

This is also a feature of basketball in this era, in individual rounds, everyone wants to see players not run tactics, relying on their individual ability to compete against each other.

In other words, it's "blind chickens fighting"!

In the last round, he had just caused a defensive foul on Lee Woo and hit both free throws, when Kevin Johnson suddenly changed his defensive strategy and began to lead the defense.

Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand and accelerating, couldn't get close to the halfline, so he quickly dribbled behind his back, took advantage of the opponent's sliding step to defend, and immediately turned quickly.

Re-catching the ball, Li You simply protected the ball sideways, first made a sharp stop, and then held the ball in his right hand and dribbled through the half court against the defense.

Approaching the three-point line at the top of the arc, Kevin Johnson pressed again, and while cutting the ball, the two had a physical confrontation, bumped into each other, and pulled away for some distance.

Li You, who maintained a sideways ball protection, saw Kevin Johnson lower his center of gravity and came up again, feeling the pressure from his waist, and cursed in his heart.

Lee Woo moved two steps to the right flank, and at this point both players consciously opened up the attacking space.

Kevin Johnson stared at Li You's movements, vigorously exploded the ball on the spot, and Li You, who was sideways protecting the ball, shook his shoulders back, and then twisted and pushed the ball, accelerating in a simple and rough straight line.

Kevin Johnson, who reacted very quickly, immediately readjusted his center of gravity and slid desperately to the left back.

Unable to get rid of the defense, Li You broke through to the right elbow area of the free throw line, quickly dribbled behind his back, and at the same time used his feet to complete the retreat.

Shaking out a shot space, Li You quickly closed the ball, and the elbow area immediately stopped and jumped to shoot!

Kevin Johnson knew that he was out of position, and he didn't touch the ball after jumping, and slapped Li You's arm directly...

"Squeak!!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled two free throws, the offense was destroyed, Li You strained his face, walked quickly to the free throw line, and cursed in his heart:

"Again, this "iron-blooded" defense! ”

The fans cheered and cheered, and it was clear that everyone was very happy with the tough defense.

With a rough foul to ruin the offensive player's touch, Kevin Johnson played very old-fashioned, nodding and high-five while making free throws, beckoning the fans to increase the interference.

Also hit both free throws, Jeff Van Gundy saw that the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger and stronger, and immediately replaced Li You and Charles Oakley.

At 20:15, with the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Knicks still led by five points.

Back on the bench, Oakley just sat down and patted Li You on the shoulder:

"You performed well, you know how to pass the ball, and I will help you out of the cost for the next event!"

Seeing the old guy with an expression of "count you as acquaintances", Li You remained silent on the surface and said modestly:

'I'm a playmaker, of course I have to pass the ball, I have to attack aggressively, but also to organise effectively.

Although the "good big brothers" promised to let him go and fight, Li You is not stupid, he really treats these old guys as blue-collar workers, and there is a high probability that there will be no good fruits to eat.

Walter McCarty on the side showed an envious expression again, he also wanted such treatment.

For this angry bag, Li You really wanted to shout "pattern", what is there to envy the tool man...

Suns home commentator Al McCoy saw that his star was not feeling good tonight and did not tie the score at the end of the first quarter, and he sighed helplessly:

"We need some patience because K.J is a real fighter and he'll get back to his best."

Kevin Johnson was 0-of-2 in the single quarter, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and it seemed that he didn't drop points on the court, but the statistics didn't keep up.

At 26:21, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Suns still trailed by 5 points at home.

Patrick Ewing, who played the full first quarter, was also in a good mood when he returned to the bench, and Lee Woo was 3-of-5 from the field, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, 10 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, two of which were for him.

This proves that Meng Xin has a boss in his heart, and Ewing feels that Li You is not inflated, which is very much in line with his heart:

"A few more shots in the second quarter, Lee, we're still ahead, let go and attack!"

During the interval, the gorilla also encouraged Li You, and he couldn't go back on what he promised.

After Chris Childs played 3:46 in the second quarter, Lee Woo rotated again.

At this point, the score had come to 34:26, and the Knicks extended the margin to 8 points.

Veteran Buck Williams was in excellent form tonight, and during his time on the court, he has put together two frontcourt rebounds.

On the Suns' side, they only replaced Kevin Johnson and center Hodder, and Rex Chapman and Danny Manning, who rotated on the court, were not in the hands and played frequently on offense.

Li You played less than 2 minutes after his debut, and Ewing, who was sitting on the bench, twitched slightly in the corner of his eye.

is also a pick-and-roll offense, veteran Buck Williams continued to eat cakes, and after opening the inside, Li You converted a three-point shot, and after running without the ball, he also played a quick mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

Ewing can naturally see that in the substitute lineup, Li You is in better shape.

The veteran Buck and the new Walter obeyed the command, and under the double cover, it was easier to score without the ball, and Li You drove the pace of the game faster and faster.

Protect the backcourt rebounding ball, convert the offense, Li You holds the ball in his left hand, advances quickly in the middle, passes the ball without looking at people's backs, the right wing, and Starks, who is close to the three-point line and begins to slow down, catches the ball and throws it!

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

Al McCoy, the commentator on the scene, was in no mood to say "poor shot selection" anymore.

The Knicks suddenly picked up the pace of the game, and the margin was already 11 points.

Starks was so excited that he bumped his chest with Li You to celebrate, quickly converted the offense, and scored easily, who can not love?

Kevin Johnson, who was re-rotated on the court, didn't expect the Knicks' outside line to suddenly let himself go.

Shoot a three-pointer with more and less conversion offense? This simply doesn't make sense!

It was only when new Walter McCarty was substituted that he recovered from his excitement:

"It feels good to play with Lee, how many points did I score?"

On the bench, John Wallace heard the inquiry of the angry bag and said with a lemon:

"2 of 3, hit 2 free throws, 6 points, career high!"

Walter McCarty felt he deserved more points, and he touched the ball so often that he even had the illusion of being the main attacker.

However, this feeling was quickly put behind by the new McKaty, who was more concerned about his treatment in the team:

"No mistakes, look at what excuses Oakley has this time, it's time for me to get out of chores!"

Charlie Ward, who was on the side, was a little depressed, and when he saw the two discussing the game there, his heart was so sour:

"I'm the manager's favourite player..."
