On February 10, Li You, who returned to New York, watched ESPN's Sports Center program at home.

The highlights of last night's All-Star Game were played repeatedly, and Li You's sacking layup was once again popular all over the United States.

"Good big brother" Starks was dressed casually, and under the beige sweater, he looked a little younger, and after seeing that after lunch, Li You showed a mysterious smile on the sofa, and said helplessly for a while:

"In the entire All-Star Game, you scored 2 points and only played 8 minutes, how can you come back and be happy like this?"

"Good big brother" didn't quite understand this, and Li You, who was in a particularly beautiful mood, explained with a smile:

"It doesn't matter how many points you score, anyway, this beautiful toss layup will continue to be passed on!"

"When it comes to the All-Star Game in '97, fans will think of the top 50 superstars, the top 10 coaches, and Michael Jordan who set the first triple-double record in the All-Star Game."

"At the same time, there is a part of the fans who will think of my beautiful goals, and that's enough! As for those players who score 10 or 20 points, sooner or later they will be forgotten. ”

When Starks heard Li You's words, he also felt very reasonable for a while:

"You're really offended this time, using Olajuwon as a background board, but it's really exciting to think about!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Starks suddenly asked:

"To be on the safe side, Pat should have a break for a while, how do you want to play in the next games?"

Li You was a little surprised, he always thought that this "good big brother" was wearing a pair of pants with Ewing, touched his chin, and then said in a firm tone:

"Keep the defensive intensity, play more transitions, we need more rounds, we need more chances to score easily!"

Starks smiled, and finally bumped fists with Li You, and said in a low voice:

"Let's see, we still have room for error."

In '97 All-Star Weekend, the biggest winner was still Michael Jordan.

Even though he is ranked 46th in the top 50 superstar rankings, the NBA league put Michael Jordan in the C position when the 50 superstars in the halftime of the All-Star Game held their debut ceremony.

Milestone is still the protagonist of this 50 superstar award ceremony!

In the All-Star Game, Michael Jordan made 5 of 14 shots and 4 of 7 free throws to get a triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

For the first time in All-Star history, there was a triple-double, and Michael Jordan set a new record.

Nobody cares that the Hornets' Glenn Rice gets the AMVP, and everyone is talking about Michael Jordan's triple-double;

and Lee You's beautiful toss layup!

Although Lee Woo's scoring in the All-Star Game was not satisfactory, handsome is really a lifetime thing.

The fans in New York were already completely happy, and in the afternoon Li You was about to drive to Madison Square Garden, but when he left the apartment parking lot, he was blocked by the fans, and was almost taken down by the enthusiastic tank on the spot.

The team is still on All-Star break, and there are very few players on the Knicks team who stick to the basics every day like Woo Lee.

Alan Houston has practiced the most, followed by Walter McCarty.

After arriving at the arena, Lee Youneng noticed that the staff were more enthusiastic than before, and he was selected as an All-Star, which really changed the situation.

Equipment manager Mike Sr. has to personally help Li You prepare training equipment as always, and has been on the Knicks team for many years, and Mike Sr. also has his own gossip channels:

"Lee, tell you the news that ITT intends to sell its shares, and there may be a change in management."

"But no one knows what the future holds, but you don't have to worry about that, 19-year-old All-Star, you're definitely in the team's future plans!"

"It's important that the fans in New York like to watch you play, because you're still young and you have time to settle yourself up, be patient, and time is on your side."

Mike Sr. would always share some of the team's internal gossip with Lee, and these sources may not be accurate, but there is also a bit of truth in them.

"I just hope the boss won't be too picky, the rookie contract doesn't pay well, and I still count on the next contract to make a lot of money!"

Li You appropriately changed the topic, the team is currently in a subtle state of turmoil, as long as the gorilla is still 20+10, the core position will not change.

But Ewing's physical decline is visible to the naked eye, and everyone knows who the future of the team is.

On the morning of Feb. 11, the Knicks flew to Washington, D.C., and the first game after the All-Star Game was an away game against the Bullets.

Ewing still didn't toss with the team, because after this game, it was three consecutive home games, and as a privileged player in the team, the gorilla stayed in New York to continue to recuperate.

In the evening game, it can be said that Li You led the team alone!

In those games before the All-Star Weekend, Li You did not have the status of an "All-Star" player, and most teams were in a hurry before the All-Star Game, so those few victories did not say much.

Entering the second half of the regular season, teams are fighting for rankings, and most of them are starting to hit hard.

Jeff Van Gundy had some more plans in place for the afternoon training session:

"Defend well, our priority tonight is to protect the rebounds!"

"George Muresan is back from injury, the 2.31m players are squatting on the inside, everyone has to play smart!"

Charles Oakley was in a state of listening to his left ear and his right ear, not caring about what the coach said.

After saying the last sentence, Van Gundy looked at Li You, who had been absent due to injury after the two teams had played each other before.

Therefore, tonight's match is the first time that Li You has faced Romania's super big center.

Li You hugged the tactical board and nodded to show that he understood.

Jeff Van Gundy always felt that the team was out of control again, and everyone was still acting according to the plan on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, he didn't know what it was going to be.

Assistant coach Don Channey didn't care about Lee's temporary change of tactics.

In his opinion, the point guard is the brain on the court, and modifying the tactics is also to win, this is the NBA, as long as you can win, no one will talk about pure basketball.

That night, the American Airlines arena was once again full, and after All-Star Weekend, fans in Washington bought tickets to watch the game, also partly because of Lee's arrival.

“Wow！！”

In the first round of the opening game, the Bullets' super center George Muresan jumped the ball, and cheers immediately rang out in the arena.

Point guard Strickland quickly used half court before everyone pulled away in turn.

In the starting lineup, Chris Webb returned to the power forward position tonight, and after the first offense, the free throw line received a pass, and immediately came to a simple high-low post combination.

The ball was asked for with his back in the low post on the left side, and with a huge height advantage, Muresan easily received the ball.

In the face of the defense of the veteran Buck Williams, he didn't make too many moves, put the ball with his right hand, leaned on it, approached the paint area, and simply threw it!

"Bang!"

The basketball slammed out of the basket, and Charles Oaklica successfully placed the basket, grabbed the basketball, Li You stepped forward to respond, and everyone else quickly ran to the opposing half.

The super center who has returned from injury seems to have to continue to find his touch, and he throws his hand slowly when he misses the shot, and after Li You receives the ball, he continues to accelerate along the left sideline.

Larry Johnson was the most active on the fast break, but Juwan Howard on his side followed him all the time, came to the right wing outside the three-point line, and accelerated to the basket without showing up for a chance.

Coach Bixduff on the sidelines shouted to his players to step back quickly, and Lee Woo observed that when there was no passing route, he approached the left wing outside the three-point line and slowed down slightly.

Strickland, who was defending on the three-point line, saw that Li You seemed to be about to stop the ball, and he was still turning his head to observe the direction of the top of the arc, and he relaxed his vigilance for a while.

Approaching the three-point line, Li You suddenly slowed down with the ball in his right hand, made a crotch dribble, looked up at the basket at the same time, and feigned the ball with his right hand.

Although there was still a short distance from the three-point line, Li You's realistic worship feints still made Strickland subconsciously jump up and pounce!

As soon as the opponent jumped, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his center of gravity and accelerated with all his might, passed the defense in one step, and quickly cut in and rushed directly to the basket in the exclamations of the fans at the scene.

Mu Leisan, who retreated slowly, just came to the paint area, and in the blink of an eye, Li You rushed to the basket, and he didn't have time to retreat and block, and saw Li You rush up in three steps and pick up the basket with his left hand!

"Rod shouldn't have jumped on the defensive! But Lee's feints are really beautiful! ”

There were faint cheers at the scene, and the commentator at the home of the Bullets could only follow along.

It didn't fit the game plan, but Li You scored easily, and Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines pretended to clap his hands and shouted:

"That's it, retreat and defend!"

Charles Oakley, who was delayed, did not pass half the half at all, and began to direct everyone to take their positions at this time.

After adapting to Li You's style of play, the old guy felt that the game was not difficult, the defensive end played as usual, the offensive end covered, grabbed rebounds, the opponent pinched, and waited for the middle distance to eat cake.

As predicted by the Knicks coaching staff before the game, the Bullets' offense was mostly concentrated on either side of the paint area, trying to take advantage of their height advantage and finish off the offense in the paint area.

Chris Webber, who played soy sauce with Lee Woo in the All-Star Game, received the ball with his back in the left blocking area, turned to the baseline direction, and finally hit the bottom left of the basket against Oakley's defense!

The bullets team who learned their lesson retreated quickly this time, and the big man Muresan quickly turned back and ran without complaining.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The fans of the Bullets shouted loudly, the five people on the field had already completed the defensive position at this time, and after Li Youyun passed the half, he simply made a tactical gesture.

Unlike conventional tactics, Alan Houston quickly slipped to the baseline near the baseline on the right side, and with the help of veteran Buck Williams' cover, he quickly bounced outside the three-point line to the left wing.

Lee You sends a horizontal pass, and Alan Houston, who gets rid of the defense, catches the ball and throws it!

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

Culbert Channey, who was chasing the defense, showed a look of surprise when he thought Houston would catch the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line and shoot from the distance, but the three-pointer was thrown straight away.

Li You, who retreated, kept high-five, signaling Alan Houston's beautiful shot!

Three-point shots are indeed easy to counterattack, and long rebounds are also difficult to control, but Li You doesn't care, all he has to do is speed up the pace of the game and run to death the big man on the opposite side!

Jeff Van Gundy, who was hosted on the sidelines, soon noticed that the Knicks' offense was getting faster and faster, no one cared about hitting the iron, and there was no low-post offense.

Juwan Howard received the ball in the right blocking area, missed the basket by force, "Big Mom" grabbed the rebound, Alan Houston answered, and the Knicks quickly ran to the opposing half.

The bullet team, which had been tossed for a few rounds, was forced to quickly return to defense.

At the top of the arc, Alan Houston slowed down to stop the ball, and the left wing Li You moved laterally without the ball on the line.

Charles Oakley, who ran to the frontcourt, took advantage of the situation to stand at the right elbow of the free throw line and just made a no-ball cover for Li You.

Strickland, who was chasing Li You, was delayed for a moment, and the next second he saw Li You, who ran to the right flank, turned around and threw the ball after receiving the ball!

The retreating bullets could only watch the basketball draw a graceful arc and fall into the basket accurately.

"Shhhhh

Outrageous offensive choice, in less than 10 seconds, the Knicks completed an offense, and the fans at the scene could only boo.

10:4, counting the chicken stealing of "Big Mom", the Knicks' scores all came from the conversion offense.

As the game progressed, led by Li You, the Knicks have always adhered to such an outrageous style of play.

Attacking quickly, Li You hit the iron, and Jeff Van Gundy twitched the corners of his eyes, which was not his game plan arranged before the game at all

As the game ticked, Lee Woo felt completely stable, and even if there was an opportunity to switch offense, the Bullets would slow down and then continue to give the ball to the low post.

The Knicks seem to be running blindly, but every defensive round, they get a respite.

Mulesan scored under the basket and after completing the offense, the big man did not celebrate, desperately retreating.

Veteran Buck Williams took advantage of the situation to block Lee on the left wing outside the three-point line, and Strickland squeezed through the cover and stuck to Lee Yo's side.

Lee Woo, who held the ball in his left hand, couldn't get rid of the defense after blocking and dismantling, and noticed that Murraysan on the opposite side seemed to want to crouch in the paint area, and slowly broke through after cutting.

Carrying the defense to the left blocking area, Li You, who was traveling, suddenly wrapped the ball around his crotch behind his back, and after shaking, he grabbed the ball with his left hand, and his body leaned forward.

His teammates were out of position in defense, Murraysan subconsciously moved to help defend, and the next second the basketball passed through his waist, and when he turned his head, he saw Buck Williams receiving the ball and putting the basket to the basket!

After a fancy pass, and then another burst of exclamations rang out from the scene, Lee Yoo smiled at Muresan who had already noticed that the big man was gasping for air.

At 20:10, the score difference just came to double digits.

In addition to the official timeout, Jeff Van Gundy waited for his opponent to take the initiative to take a timeout, and in the second half of the first quarter, he simply returned to his seat with a smile on his face and completely managed.

Murraysan ran for most of the quarter before finally being unable to keep up with the rhythm and was forced to make an early substitution.

With forward Harvey Grant, the Bullets' height dropped, and the Knicks began to attack the basket and cut in frequently.

Seeing Li You break through to the paint area, go around in a circle, get rid of the defense, and throw the basket right in front of him, there was a huge boo on the scene again!

"I knew Lee was different, he really wasn't your average 19-year-old! He can be trusted! ”

On the Knicks bench, assistant coach Don Chaney whispered a suggestion, Jeff Van Gundy didn't speak, just nodded, and was powerless to complain for a while:

"A 19-year-old All-Star, it's not okay to be trusted."

The Knicks only took Starks and Herb Williams in the regular rotation with 1:58 left in the first quarter.

"Good Big Brother" Starks didn't relent, and when he came up, he hit a shot on the right wing outside the three-point line.

Jeff Van Gundy wanted to stand up and shout two words, but only to find that the Bullets didn't take advantage of the opportunity to switch offense, and it was Webb who received the ball in the low post.

At the end of the first quarter, at 32:22, the Knicks maintained their lead.

The expected advantage point failed to play an effect, and the noise on the scene became louder and louder.

"We played really well, Chris, John, in the second quarter, control the tempo!"

"Protect the rebound, OK? The other side will take the big man, we need to show our energy, everyone needs to get in the position! ”

With a double-digit lead, Jeff Van Gundy's intention was to slow down and not throw too fast, but Starks, who let himself go, left the advice behind:

"Run, keep throwing!"

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li You, who played the first quarter, sat on the bench obediently, and the commentator of the Bullets' home court followed with two sour sentences at this time:

"19-year-old All-Star! Deservedly, Lee was in complete control of the pace of the game in the first quarter! ”

'Coach Jeff Van Gundy adjusted his tactics tonight and I have to say, it worked, and Muresan should probably come back at a different time, and it's hard for him to find his form at such a pace of play.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't know that someone was praising his tactics, and resisted the urge to stand up and roar a few times, Chris Childs didn't play as asked at all!

On the bench, Walter McCarty was courteous to Li You, handing out kettles and towels:

"Lee, when I get on the court, can I get an easy chance to score? You know, I've been working on it. ”

Looking at the gas bag that covered his mouth with a towel and whispered a request, Li You almost laughed.

Oakley did leave a psychological shadow on McCarty, and as long as the old guy was on the bench, the voice was a little lower.

Holding back a smile, Li You agreed:

"Walter, take it easy! In these games, the interior players will get more opportunities. ”

"I promise, you'll set a new career high!"

Walter McCarty, who was angry, suddenly showed joy, only to find that Oakley was looking at him again, and hurriedly bowed his head, and cursed in his heart:

"Hell, old fellow! Just know to suppress rookies! ”

In the first quarter of the game, Li You was 3-of-5 and 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 7 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, and only reappeared in the second quarter with 5:01 left in the game.

Chris Childs and Starks both had "comfortable" expressions when they came off the court.

At 48:37, the two sides stabbed each other, and the score difference was widened.

Coach Bixduff thought the Knicks would continue to run blindly, but after Lee Woo came on the court, the pace of the game slowed down.

Alan Houston didn't feel good, didn't take advantage of several opportunities, suddenly increased his three-point shooting, and still hasn't completely regained his touch.

The Knicks slowly increased their defensive strength, Webb scored in front of Oakley in a row, the old guy was already a little impatient, the pace slowed down, and the "iron and blood" basketball returned.

At halftime, at 56:43, the margin came to 13 points.

In the second half, the head coach of Bixduff completely abandoned the use of Muressan, lowered the height and tried to speed up the pace of the game.

But the Knicks were not in a hurry, and Charles Oakley began to pester Webb, and the two began to push and shove after less than 2 minutes of the game.

Larry Johnson was also not polite to Juwan Howard, and he also made frequent moves on the defensive end.

One couldn't catch the ball, the other stood on the free throw line to hit the iron, and for a while, the Bullets suddenly fell into a scoring drought.

The Knicks' offense is mostly focused on Lee You and Alan Houston, who let go of the throw and desperately scramble inside.

Such a simple tactic directly broke down the Bullets, and on the bench, Jeff Van Gundy was also a little incredulous:

"That's a win?"

20:11 in the single quarter, the third quarter was over, the score came to 76:54, the score difference came to 22 points, and there was no suspense in the game.

Bullets fans also seemed to have a hard time accepting such a result, and erupted into the biggest boos since the opening game:

"Shhhhh

Li You didn't care about the atmosphere of the scene, walked to the bench, and bumped fists with Alan Houston by the way:

"Cast beautifully! You have to trust that you can always hit the next ball. ”

With a sigh of relief, it is rare to have so many shots, and Alan Houston has also regained some confidence:

"It's a pity that it's garbage time before I find the shooting feeling."

3-of-6, 0-of-2 from beyond the three-point line and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, Alan Houston scored eight points in the quarter.

3 of 6, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, Li You got 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in the third quarter.

The two combined for 15 points, almost completely capturing the Knicks' single-quarter scores, a situation that would not have been possible in the first half of the game.

Assistant coach Don Chaney smiled and patted the main players who came off the field:

“Good job！”

The third quarter of the game was a pre-game setup for the coaching staff.

The difference is that the Knicks don't have to face Muraysan, a big man of 2.31 meters, and Lee You automatically optimized his tactical strategy in the first quarter of the game.

Although the victory has been set, Jeff Van Gundy does not have much sense of accomplishment.

Looking back on the bench and talking and laughing with everyone, Jeff Van Gundy suddenly remembered Pat Riley's experience with the Lakers:

"Is that what it feels like to coach Magic-Johnson?"

In the fourth quarter of the game, Walter McCarty finally got more chances.

After a whole quarter of garbage time, this budding newcomer has a new career high: 7 points!

Too much garbage time also made the audience lose their mood, and the boos disappeared.

In the end, at 101:81, the Knicks defeated the Bullets away and got off to a good start after the All-Star break.

Chris Webb turned his head and walked to the players' tunnel after the game.

are both All-Star players, and the identities of the two are equal, and Webb, who lost the game, didn't want to see Li You's smiling face.

After returning to the locker room, everyone on the Knicks team was in a good mood, everyone saw the technical statistics, 84 rounds, no wonder it was so comfortable!

After Li You left the bench completely, Starks also felt that it was easier for him to play:

"I think we played well, we had fewer turnovers than we thought, 11 turnovers, four in the fourth quarter, seven in the first three quarters."

Charles Oakley didn't care about the data either, and the old guy returned to his seat and said casually:

"It's good to play a little simpler, as long as we don't lose this week, we're still in second place!"

"According to the current record, we can win the division championship, which can be regarded as an explanation to the fans."

Both veterans hope to win the consolation prize of the division championship to make up for the loss of the year

Li You saw that "Auntie" was looking at the technical statistics depressedly, and leaned over and teased:

"Larry, don't always think about receiving the ball in the low post, facing the tall forward, your efficiency is a little low, the next game, remember to look for misalignment, I will pass the ball to you!"

3 out of 8, scored 10 points, wanted to go back to the past, "Auntie" found that she had no ball, and when she heard Li You's words, she could only secretly cha lemon:

"Hell all-stars!"

On the morning of Feb. 12, the Knicks returned to New York to win the Bullets, and the week was an easy one.

The media in New York are also praising Lee Woo, who scored the team's highest score:

Played 29 minutes, 7-of-14, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal with no turnovers.

The starting five all scored in double figures, and on the bench, Starks scored 15 points, which is not common in the Knicks.

Jeff Van Gundy has also been praised by the media, and the coaching staff has adjusted their tactics in a timely manner, and the changes are visible to the naked eye, which is definitely commendable!

In the afternoon, during the Knicks' practice session, Ewing was not in a good mood, and he always felt that the New York media was talking about him

However, the gorillas are also qualified leaders in the locker room, and the team won easily, and they also showed a smile:

"With 39 wins and 10 losses, we're already three wins ahead of the second-place Pistons, and if we hold on a few more games, I'll be able to fully recover."

"If we can stay in second place at the end of the month, then this season, we will definitely win the division."

In the past few years, I haven't been able to win the championship, and Ewing feels that winning a division championship can be regarded as an explanation.

The boss spoke, and while everyone sent sycophants, they also sent suggestions with concern:

"Pat, don't force yourself, your body is the most important thing!"

Ewing sensed something was wrong, but quickly put it behind him, and it belonged to his team!

The gorilla was present, Li You usually didn't express his opinions too much, at this time he was holding the tactical board and explaining the tactics of the three-person blocking and demolition to "Big Mom":

"The most important thing is to cover at the free-throw line, pay attention to the timing, and of course, you can also choose to shoot."

"Three-point shots? You can also bomb outside, but when the time comes, Alan will cover you, it depends on the opponent's defensive strategy! ”

Larry Johnson, who was wearing a training uniform, couldn't turn his head a little, but under Li You's explanation, he instinctively felt that this tactic could indeed be played.

"It's still a bit complicated, just hit UCLA and cut in! Just like the Jazz, go on the line and run around the line, go straight to the basket, and then finish under the basket. ”

Li You didn't say anything, just clicked the position under the basket, and "Auntie" was stunned for a while, only to understand that she disliked him for the end of the basket.

In daily training sessions, the Knicks actually practice a lot of offensive routines, and as a playoff powerhouse that relies on defense, the most important thing is to understand the tactical characteristics of the opponent.

Confrontation training is usually to simulate the opponent's routine, and then make a systematic defensive arrangement.

Everyone is very familiar with running tactics, but when it comes to the game, the style of play has changed, with Li You as the core, more sharing of the ball, and the routine can be played again.

Knicks legend Holzman once explained the game:

"Basketball is not rocket technology, finding open teammates when attacking, and keeping an eye on the ball when defending!"

On the evening of February 13th, Jeff Van Gundy followed the philosophy of the legendary coach and continued to take custody of Lee You, leaving Lee in charge of finding open teammates.

Iverson's 76ers have already lost to the Cavaliers, and after losing to the Cavaliers in the last game, their record has also come to 12-35, and according to this trend, there is a high probability that they will dive into the top spot again.

After the game started, the Madison Square Garden Arena was boiling, no matter what the outcome was, if you can see Iverson and Li You at the same time, this ticket will not be lost!

It's just that after the first half, Allen Iverson was numb

2-of-10, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and 7 points.

At 41:54 at halftime, the Knicks easily led by 13 points.

Lee You was also not interested in competing with the rookie team, and successfully activated Alan Houston in the first half.

Seemingly finding the feeling of playing for the Pistons, Alan Houston was 5-of-8 from the field in the half, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 12 points efficiently!

Back in the locker room, Alan Houston was still excited:

"The opponent's defensive discipline is too poor, and a cover can show up for chances!"

"Hopefully we can get to the fourth quarter tonight!"

Ewing could naturally feel the joy in the locker room.

Starks and Oakley were teasing Iverson for striking iron, "Big Mom" pulled Li You to whisper, and the atmosphere team followed and yelled, shouting to play the fourth quarter.

The team glows with a different kind of energy, and the offense can make people feel better

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks played a furious offense.

At 24:35, the third quarter is over, and at 65:89, the fourth quarter becomes garbage time again!

Such an efficient offense completely detonated Madison Square Garden, and the fans in New York were completely excited.

The starting lineup played the full third quarter, and Larry Johnson walked off the court with a smile on his face.

"Auntie" scored 4 points in 4 in a single quarter, scoring 8 points, Li You did what he said, and it really made it easy for him to score points.

"It's not a high score, but it's definitely Alan Houston's best performance since joining the Knicks!"

"9-of-15, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-1 from the free-throw line, 22 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, no turnovers, I want to say that Lee successfully activated the shooter!"

On the MSG commentary seat at the scene, commentator John Andris blew wildly, even if it is a game of abuse, such an efficient performance is very rare.

Heading into garbage time, commentator Mav Albert praised the team's tactical adjustments:

"Pat was injured, the coaching staff adjusted their tactics in time, and Coach Jeff Van Gundy showed his coaching ability!"

"Maybe it won't be long before Van Gundy becomes a legend like Pat Riley and creates a "show time" era for the Knicks! ”

Sitting on the bench, Jeff Van Gundy appeared confident and calm, occasionally standing up in the 4th quarter to command the atmosphere group.

Picky New York fans are no longer spraying this balding young marshal, and even many people are cheering for Van Gundy, which is really dry!

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 92:113, and the Knicks went crazy and continued to punch in the third quarter, defeating the 76 team!

Iverson, who was 3 of 15 and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers, left the game lonely after the game, and lost consecutive games after the All-Star break, and he couldn't stand it.

MSG interviewed Li You immediately after the game:

"Lee, congratulations on getting a double-double again, tonight's starting 5 scored all double-doubles again, can you talk about the team's offense?"

For such a question, Li You is naturally prepared:

"Coach Jeff Van Gundy has made important changes and the coaching staff has a detailed game plan for every game!"

"Pat is injured and everybody needs to step up and score, it's dangerous and tired, we believe in each other and it's a credit to the whole team to play this kind of attack."

Commentator John Andaris nodded with satisfaction, commentating on the Knicks' games for many years, and watching so many beautiful offenses, he has already developed a feeling of staying out.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the sidelines, saw Li You talking with a smile on his face when he was interviewed, and was a little speechless for a while:

"The basketball philosophy of a legendary coach still applies to modern basketball?."

In this game, Li You made 5 of 11, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, 4 of 5 free throws, and got 15 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal.

On Sunday night the 16th, the Knicks hosted the Cavaliers, and after three quarters, Madison Square Garden was boiling again.

At 59:79, the Knicks checked in again in the third quarter!

After being fed three games by Li You, Alan Houston had a meal of dumplings!

He was 11-of-16, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finished with 28 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

With ultimate efficiency, Alan Houston returned to the bench and grinned in his seat.

The atmosphere group also followed the frenzy, this efficiency is really heavenly!

"I think Coach Van Gundy has completely figured out how to use Houston!"

"Unbelievable performance, 28 points in the third quarter, as long as we continue this form, we can challenge the Bulls!"

Commentator Marv Albert was completely hilarious and almost took out a championship loan for the Knicks.

At Madison Square Garden, New York fans who bought tickets to watch the game on Sunday shook along to the music.

Li You sat on the bench, and also shook his head to interact with the fans on the spot, and the three quarters were easy to check in, and everyone loved it!

On the Cavaliers bench, Trill Brandon had an explosive mentality, and he was also an All-Star, and the game was lost like this, and any excuses were useless

Especially when he saw the Knicks on the bench, Li You, who was shaking his head, ran to the sidelines from time to time and threw a towel wildly, and scolded angrily:

"Hell game!"

In the end, 82-102, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers by a big margin, ending the week with three straight wins.

At the post-match press conference, the New York media in the audience were in awe of Jeff Van Gundy.

Even if the opponent is not strong, but all three games are clocked in 3 quarters, and each game wins by 20 points, which very few teams in the league can do!

"Jeff, I think the fans want to know how the coaching staff activates the team's offense!"

The New York Times reporters in the audience no longer asked random questions as they used to, and everyone had a look of agreement on their faces.

Jeff Van Gundy was blown up, but when he heard this question, he subconsciously pulled his tie, and then said solemnly:

'We're always working on new tactics and the players are working really the training pitch!'

"After half a season, the team has been running in successfully, and now we are just showing the results of training"

"Of course, Lee's performance is also crucial, a good point guard, sometimes a coach on the court, he executes the game plan that the team has developed perfectly!"

Li You played 30 minutes, 4-of-9, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal with no turnovers.

The reporters in the audience looked at the technical statistics in their hands and nodded, "Coach on the field", they agreed with Van Gundy's point of view.

On February 17, when Lee Woo was having breakfast at home, he was in a good mood when he watched ESPN in the TV series also reporting on the Knicks' three big wins.

"After the All-Star break, the Knicks seem to have undergone a metamorphosis, Alan Houston has been completely activated, and although Patrick Ewing is injured, the current Knicks team seems to be getting better!"

"If they continue to be in this form, they can even catch up with the Bulls."

“.”

ESPN's ball pundits are crazy about the fire, and these sports media are fond of spending Patrick Ewing, as if seeing the gorillas break their defenses can make their lives more satisfying

Starks, who came to breakfast, pouted disdainfully when he heard the eloquent views of these ball critics:

"I dare to guarantee the ticket, as long as I lose, these guys are another set of rhetoric."

"Pat probably just watched these reports and is ready to make an early comeback!"

The next game is against the Suns, who have added Jason Kidd, and Lee Yoo also feels that this is not a good time to come back:

"We have six consecutive Western away games in the back, flying around, which is really not conducive to adjusting the state."

"But Pat is the boss, and he has the final say!"

Starks wasn't talking, and he felt that maybe something was going to change about the team.

Alan Houston has just found his form, and Larry Johnson is no longer playing soy sauce, which is the influence of Lee You:

"Hopefully everything goes well away from home."
