On April 24, 1997, in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs G1, the game between the Magic and the Knicks, the on-site director frequently focused the camera on Horace Grant on the Magic bench.

As a key player during the Bulls' three-game winning streak, "Cobra" Grant became the highest-paid player on the Magic team after O'Neal's departure.

It's just that at this time, he can only sit on the bench with a serious expression, and he was frequently injured at the end of the regular season, which made Grant miss the playoffs.

In the second quarter of the game, the two teams began to rotate personnel, and the Magic took on the younger brother of the "human movie essence", Gerald Wilkins.

The man who played in New York for many years, and at the peak of his career, basically contributed to the city.

Brian Shaw also rotated and brought on veteran Daniel Shayes on the inside.

The head coach of Adubatu expects the rotation to make a difference, but unfortunately the players who rotate continue to play hard.

On the other hand, Starks began to explode, and the 24-point margin was too much, and the Knicks came off the bench without any pressure.

After more than two minutes in the second quarter, the Magic scored two points when Hardaway hit a pullup jump shot from the left elbow.

"It's a pity that the injuries to the Magic's main lineup have affected the run-in of their lineup."

"If Hardaway and Grant had stayed healthy, maybe the Magic would have had a better record this season."

The iron was frequently struck, and the score difference was widened again, and the commentator Mav Albert also began to talk about gossip.

"The Magic made the wrong choice to keep the core lineup, and O'Neal and Hardaway may not be able to win the championship."

"The Bulls can't be dominant forever, and I'm sure the Knicks will succeed, at least time is on our side."

Commentator John Andaris also followed the gossip and said that the decline of the Magic team is also a lesson, and it is extremely difficult to let go of a core for no reason, and then want to compete for the championship.

As at the end of the regular season, the Magic took the bench lineup, and the style of play did not change much, falling behind by a large score, and did not throw three-pointers, but strengthened the defense and continued to finish near the paint area.

Li You, who was sitting on the bench, watched Hardaway quickly slide to the bottom line, received the ball in the left blocking area, and then hit the basket directly, almost hitting Hatchey.

"It's so far behind, it's still a regular way of playing, and it's hard for us to lose this game."

The one-on-one man-to-man defense is indeed difficult to limit Hardaway, and Li Youzai didn't care about the opponent's score, and complained in a low voice.

"It's really hard to chase points, if the 3-pointers hit the iron and lose rebounds, maybe they lose more, and with a three-point shooting percentage in the early 30s, Hardaway is really not a good shooter."

Alan Houston also completely relaxed, with a huge lead, and the main lineup could come on in the second half of the second quarter after a full rest, and after playing the third quarter, he basically clocked home.

Li You is a little envious of Hardaway's confrontation, breaking through the basket requires players to choose a good angle, and in this era, the defender is extremely oppressive, and it is very important to maintain his own breakthrough route after the confrontation.

In the face of most of the league's backcourt, Li You didn't have too many troubles, but when he encountered the front line players, the opponent's rough defensive style would often force him to move, and then lose the established breakthrough route:

"It still needs more muscle and strength."

Hardaway, who was anxious on the field, no longer frequently assisted his teammates, but relied on his personal ability to score consecutive points.

The New York fans at the scene were already crazy, and after more than half a quarter of the game, the Magic team only scored 8 points!

At 18:49, the difference has come to 31 points.

With 5 minutes and 20 seconds left in the first half, the Knicks' main lineup reappeared.

Hardaway has completely lost his calm appearance at this time, and it seems difficult to understand why his teammates are always slapping iron, and many rounds are obviously empty!

“Let's go Knicks！ Let's go Knicks！ Let's go Knicks！ ”

In the first offensive round after his debut, Hardaway began to lead the defense all over the court, trying to cause Li You's mistakes.

The two began to entangle from the half, the oppressive defense did not play much role, Li You just simply stopped, dribbled behind his back, accelerated, and then turned around, and then sideways to protect the ball, and quickly rushed across the middle line.

By the end of the regular season, most players in the league would no longer be able to defend Li You, and Hardaway was obviously mentally exploding.

Ewing's cover at the top of the arc just hung up for a moment, and then he quickly went down to take Magic center Ronnie Secali.

Li You, who broke through on the left side, suddenly led the ball forward with his left hand, took advantage of Hardaway's desperate sliding, dribbled past the three-point line, and immediately exploded the ball on the spot.

Hardaway hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity, saw Li You push the ball and changed direction, and immediately slid to the left.

failed to get the expected shooting space, and after completing the change of direction, Li You took advantage of the situation to dribble behind his back, quickly retreated, returned to the three-point line, and raised the ball at the top of the arc!

Hardaway, who was anxious, immediately jumped up to pounce, and only realized that something was wrong when he flew into the air, and Li You, who successfully played the time difference, jumped up with the momentum, hung up on the defense, and threw the ball to the basket casually.

"Squeak!"

"Bang!"

The basketball was played into the basket on the front, Li You was slightly stunned at first, and then hurriedly faced the audience, raised his hands high, and smiled and pretended to be X

"And the penalty! Lee played Hardaway, God, how did he throw the ball in! ”

Commentator Marv-Albert yelled in excitement, while Hardaway, who had been tricked into fouling, stepped aside in frustration without any excuse.

Li You stood at the free throw line and just took the basketball, and the New York fans on the scene began to shout loudly:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

The shouts of the fans made Ewing frown slightly, this season, he didn't have this treatment

With Li Youjia hitting a steady shot, the difference was 40 points.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting on the bench, also showed a hint of smugness.

Compared with Adubatu, who stood on the sidelines and kept shouting loudly, the bald young marshal's performance of sitting firmly on the bench did have a hint of famous style.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Knicks' offense, which was completely unleashed, became smoother and smoother, and Larry Johnson hit a three-pointer on the left wing.

The opponent's interior defense intensity decreases, and Ewing only needs to get in position, catch the ball, turn and put the basket to complete the score.

Charles Oakley was about to end the first half, and he no longer rushed to grab rebounds in the frontcourt, the point difference was too big, and the old guy was also fishing.

When Li You cut in without the ball and received a pass from Ewing in the right blocking area, he didn't stop the ball when he came to the basket, threw the ball to the rebound, and then quickly retreated.

The basketball just crossed Hardaway's fingertips, hit the board and fell into the basket with precision!

This time, Hardaway was so angry that he took the initiative to raise his hand to signal for a substitution and stopped playing

Coach Adubatu immediately called a timeout and replaced Anfernee Hardaway, who was getting worse.

Towards the end of the first half, Lee You's ultra-long three-pointer from the midcourt position spun around the basket before falling out.

This caused a burst of cheers from the New York fans at the scene, and the feeling exploded!

At 32:64, there was no suspense in the game, and the Knicks just had to wait for the opponent to change to the atmosphere group.

"It was a fantastic first half, we played an incredibly efficient attack, which was even better than the regular season!"

"Lee was 4-of-6 from the field, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-1 from the free-throw line, 12 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists, and I think he was better than Hardaway."

Commentator Marv Albert did not forget Hardaway's mockery of Li You's "star-making product" before the game, and began to fight back with a smile.

"Needless to say, the data says something about it, and it's hard to find a player in the league's backcourt who can match Lee's overall strength!"

Commentator John Andalis also began to praise Lee for his performance.

Although the New York media always compare data at different peaks, it is also a sign of strength.

The two blew the on-site commentary bench, and the Magic team who returned to the locker room had lost their temper, and no matter how thick the chicken soup was, it was useless, which was a 32-point difference.

In the regular season, the Magic lost by as many as 21 points, and the only game they won was by just four points.

The psychological massage before the game was all useless, and the Knicks, who won 64 games, were significantly ahead of the teams in the lower half of the region!

Coach Adubatu didn't hear Hardaway's complaints at halftime, and he was relieved that no matter how big the point difference was, the game had to be played in the third quarter.

After the start of the second half, the Knicks were not interested in executing their pre-game plan, especially when the opponent was still playing iron, and they could maintain the point difference by running and switching offense.

Every time Hardaway on the court struck the iron, Lee Woo would help the opponent count, and after hearing "Three", the fake Jordan successor couldn't hold back any longer.

Turning around angrily, he just wanted to step forward and push it, but Oakley, who had been prepared, blocked it.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, he was knocked and stumbled.

"Man, looking for something else?"

Most of the players on both teams were in the paint area, and as soon as Oakley spoke, everyone on the Magic team hurriedly pulled Hardaway behind him.

The referee took the opportunity to pull Hardaway away, and this was the protagonist of the series.

Charles Oakley was already a bit bored on the court, and when it came to the point, he should have done it.

It's just that the difference in points tonight is too big, except for rebounding, it's a cake, and the old guy wants to rest.

"Charles, come down and rest for a while!"

Jeff Van Gundy hurriedly stood up and let the veteran Buck Williams on the court, seeing that the opponent had no intention of changing the atmosphere group, he could only follow the opponent.

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks scored and played, and Ewing received the ball in the low post and attacked the inside.

The Gorilla is efficient and hits the projectiles in succession on the left and right sides of the paint zone.

Lee You and Alan Houston were in charge of the reception, and the Magic's interior line quickly couldn't stand it.

At 17:26 in the first quarter, the New York fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory of the game.

At 49:90, the difference came to 41 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Coach Adubatu hurriedly changed the atmosphere group, which was already a tragedy.

New York fans who bought tickets to watch the game are still making loud noises, trying to make the atmosphere of the stadium more energetic and make the Magic the front page headlines of tomorrow's sports section.

Hardaway, who was sitting on the bench, looked more and more ugly, and the atmosphere team followed suit

Lee Yoo was already smiling on the bench, waving a towel to his teammates by the way, Walter McCarty got a rare opportunity to play, played with his life to score points, and spared no effort at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

By the end of the fourth quarter, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden exploded, and the New York fans shouted:

"50 minutes !!"

At 64:114, the Magic team simply lost by 50 points, and Hardaway walked quickly to the players' tunnel without looking back, setting a record.

"It's a pleasure to witness this record with the New York fans, and the 50-point margin is tied to the record set by the Bucks and Warriors in the 1971 Western Conference semifinals."

"It was 1971, when the Bucks beat the Warriors, and Lee wasn't even born."

"God, this is incredible!"

Commentator Mav Albert didn't expect to win so much, and no one expected the atmosphere team to follow suit.

Li You, who had already changed into training clothes and was waving to the fans, had some regrets:

"In the end, I still lost by 8 points!"

In the first playoff game of his career, Li You clocked in in the third quarter, played 27 minutes, 6 of 10, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, 16 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists.

In the post-match press conference, the media in New York failed to see Anfernee Hardaway, who suffered a recurrence of his old injury and was unable to give an interview

Jeff Van Gundy appeared in the press conference room with Li You, and the New York media at the scene cheered happily.

"19 years and 114 days, Lee, congratulations on becoming the youngest player in NBA playoff history to score 15+5, playing the playoffs for the first time, how does it feel?"

Every time I hear these age records, Li You has some plays, and there is a high probability that there will be any records in the future.

"It feels good, at least I'm playing like the All-Star on the other side!"

"The playoffs are no different from the regular season, man, these records are going to be broken soon, so there's no need to report on them!"

Li You reminded everyone in the audience that it would still be against the Magic team two days later, and as long as they played enough time, the record was quickly broken.

The New York media in the audience laughed as Anfernee Hardaway's boomerang hit him in the face before the game

The fake Jordan successor didn't perform badly, shooting 5-of-16, with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover, and got the Magic's highest score.

It's a pity that the New York media won't let this one go:

"Lee, how does it feel to play against Mr. 50, will we still play a beautiful attack in the next game?"

Li You quickly reacted, this is Anfernee Hardaway's new nickname:

"We do play efficiently and it's a shame that Grant is injured, but this is a playoff game and to win by 50 points shows that we have given our all and this is a sign of respect to the opponents!"

“Respect！”

The reporter of the Magic team listened to the ridicule at the scene, did not hold back for a while, got up and left directly, and soon heard a voice from behind him:

"What a personless guy."

A record-tying victory made the New York media collectively climax, and Li You's record also began to sweep the major sports media.

Recently, there has been a lack of news in the NBA league, because Michael Jordan won the scoring title again, and Rodman won the rebounding title, which has been reported for many years, and the fans are numb.

Therefore, after the end of the first round of matches that night, the big multimedia followed the trend to report on the game, and the fans would buy it if they had fun watching it.

In addition to the most depressed player, Stephen Marbury of the Timberwolves is not in a beautiful mood.

At 95:112, the Rockets' senior Big Three broke up the newcomers of the Timberwolves in the third quarter of the game.

Marbury had a game-high 28 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, just setting a record, but he didn't even make a splash

Olajuwon, like Ewing, scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, with the difference that the gorillas played less minutes at 30 minutes.

The Rockets also scored double-doubles in multiple people, and in the playoffs, except for "Glider", who was still looking for form, everyone else was in very good shape.

After just one playoff game, the call for a "Rockets championship" was once again recalled, with critics and fans alike believing that the senior Big Three would make it to the Finals.

Pat Riley's Heat relied on an iron-blooded defense to easily outscore the Hornets 99-109, with Dele Curilla, who came off the bench, shooting 1-of-8 from the field and scoring just four points.

The Jazz also showed their dominance tonight, beating the Clippers 86-106 at home.

Stockton was 5-of-9 with a double-double of 13 points, 7 rebounds, 17 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers, and Malone was 13-of-27 with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

Utah Double Sadistic Dish is as stable as ever!

In the first round, the team won 5 games and 3 wins, and if the team is strong enough, they will soon get the match point.

On the morning of April 25, the Knicks' coaching staff began to watch the Heat's footage in advance in addition to routinely preparing for the game against the Magic.

Although the Hornets played well in the regular season and Glen Rice exploded this year, in the playoffs, the Hornets were a little overwhelmed in the face of hand-to-hand combat and layers of defense on the inside.

"Woshan Leonard, a second-round pick in '94 who only entered the starting lineup in the second half of the regular season, has been in very good form lately and is very good at catching and shooting."

8-of-13 from the field and 6-of-9 from the three-point line, the second-round pick Leonard scored a team-high 24 points against the Hornets.

Assistant coach Thibodeau gave Jeff van Gundy a brief introduction to the player.

"We have to admit that we still can't beat Pat Riley in terms of training, and after taking over the team, we have a lot of training."

Jeff Van Gundy admires Pat Riley's ability to always dig deep into the player's potential

"The Heat added three-point shooting and they became the team that tried the most from beyond the three-point line in the regular season, Jeff, it's no coincidence, they changed their style of play!"

Assistant coach Don Chaney looked at the technical stats and reminded the bald young marshal again.

Averaging 22.7 shots per game from beyond the three-point line, the Heat still use "iron-blooded" defense, but on the offensive end they rely more on outside shooting.

The Knicks have also increased their three-point attempts this season, averaging 19.3 per game, which ranks eighth in the league.

Lee Yow and Starks took half of the shots, and most of the rest went to Chris Childs and Alan Houston.

The number of three-pointers increased, and the Knicks also increased their number of rounds to 81.5 per game, ranking seventh in the league.

The offense and defense are relatively balanced, slow and fast, which is the reason for the 64 wins this season.

Jeff Van Gundy thought for a while, and he didn't know how the Heat would adjust, but strengthening the confrontation was definitely a game strategy that the opponent would definitely adopt:

"It's better to protect the home stadium first, as long as you can win two games first, then there is plenty of room for adjustment."

Without hearing too many instructions, everyone on the coaching staff knew that Jeff Van Gundy probably wouldn't have guessed Pat Riley's adjustment.

Everyone watched the game video and began to express their opinions, discussed for a while, and finally found that they really didn't have any offensive system

There's no Jazz academy basketball, plenty of UCLA cut-in, frequent pick-and-rolls, and no Bulls' triangle offense to make room for Michael Jordan to play alone, and the rest of the pack waits:

"64 wins, we won so much?"

Li You also knows that the coaching staff is studying the video of the Heat's game, but with the situation of the Knicks, it is better to adjust and adjust, and it is better to give the ball to the player in the best condition.

Ewing can't be a pie striker, and counting on the Gorilla Series highlights is a pipe dream.

In the afternoon training session, I still ran tactics step by step, played routines, and then rested directly.

"After returning, Mai Buckle began to win the scoring title again, this is the 9th time he has won the award, and Rodman has also won the rebounding king for 6 consecutive years, and the fans have seen enough."

The league had to give the Bulls two awards tonight, and Larry Johnson picked up the lemon and casually complained as he practiced his three-point shot.

"Michael Jordan's stats have slipped, which is a good thing, and it proves that he will also be old."

Li You heard Alan Houston's words, and said helplessly:

"The average of 29.6 points per game is only 0.8 points less than last year, which is a negligible decline."

The stats look desperate, and the shooting percentage after the decline is also 48.6%, which can still shoot dead people without clipping

Everyone didn't pay attention to the first round of games, but the Bulls are the Eastern boss!

Several veterans have shadows in their hearts, and they are happy to win two games in the regular season, and subconsciously, they don't believe that they can beat Michael Jordan.

After the evening training session, Li You returned home and watched the Bulls game as well.

With Harper and Pippen in poor form, Michael Jordan played 42 minutes, 12-of-25, and recorded 29 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.

At 86:98, the Bulls, playing at home, managed to defeat the Bullets.

The super center can't block the impact of Michael Jordan, Li You turned off the TV and silently calculated:

"Just 48 percent shooting, the same as the regular season, a dip in form?"

On April 27th, the G2 of the Magic and Knicks officially started that night.

Many fans at the scene held whiteboards, and the reports of "Mr. 50 Points" have resounded in New York after two days.

Hardaway was not interviewed before the game, and there were too many losses in the last game, which is enough to show the difference in strength between the two teams.

As soon as the game began, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden became more and more lively.

After two days of rest, the Magic team still couldn't find their touch.

Except for Hardaway's back-to-back jumper in the low left post in the opening stanza, the first quarter went 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the game, and the Magic's score remained at four points.

Constantly sharing the ball, constantly scoring and playing, and with a poor hand, the Magic tried to storm the basket.

On the left flank, Hardaway suddenly cut in, stood up to Lee You's defense, and broke through to the paint area to fake a true pass.

The left-hander in the air flicked the ball one-handed to the follow-up Ronnie Secali, who received the ball, met Ewing's block, and threw the iron again.

“Wow！！”

Amid the cheers of the fans, Lee Woo received the backcourt rebound on the bottom right of the basket, and everyone in the Knicks didn't need to say hello and quickly rushed across the halfcourt.

His teammates missed the chance to finish again, and Hardaway looked ugly and had to retreat.

Accelerating along the left sideline, Li You observed the situation on the court, and before halftime, he suddenly threw the ball to the upper right of the basket.

Larry Johnson, who had already rushed to the basket, hurriedly jumped up, did not have enough time to prepare, failed to complete the dunk, and put the ball in the basket after catching the ball in the air.

"Nice pass! Unfortunately, he couldn't complete the dunk, Lee always saw his teammates in time, and he made the Knicks' offense much easier! ”

Commentator John Andaris was also taken aback, he didn't even notice that it was an opportunity.

It was a pity to complete the fast attack "Big Mom", and I could only watch Li You pretend to be X in the backcourt.

Magic's Derrick Strong had just returned to halfcourt only to find that the Knicks had already scored.

He wanted to complain twice, but looking at Hardaway who was frowning, Strong swallowed the words again.

At 4:13, after the opening of the Knicks, the outside felt average, Alan Houston hit two irons, and most of the points came from the transition offense.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Hardaway quickly used more than halfway, the defensive cheers returned, frowning to watch his teammates fall into position, and the big man Ronnie Secali came to the top of the arc again to block the pick-and-roll.

The expected effect did not appear, Ewing was still crouching in the paint area, Hardaway could still feel the pull of Li You at the waist, and the pick-and-roll could not get rid of the defense at all.

Theoretically, he could have passed to his teammates who were down, but this time Hardaway chose to make a stop, then took a step back to go below the free throw line and made a pull-up jumper.

At 6:13, the Magic finally broke the scoring drought.

Hardaway didn't have any joy on his face after scoring, and it was almost halfway through the first quarter of the game to get this point, which gave him a bad feeling again

Quickly retreated, turned his head and commanded his teammates to complete the defensive alignment, Hardaway was still shouting, and Li You had already rushed past the half.

In the bottom left corner, Alan Houston quickly moved to the flank, and Lee Yo, who was holding the ball in his left hand, also moved laterally.

Taking advantage of Li You's slight pause on the three-point line, Alan Houston pretended to catch the ball, Hardaway wanted to remind his teammates to change defenses, and the next second Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and leaned over to accelerate.

Hardaway, who was almost deceived, hurriedly slid to the right rear, and at the same time used his size advantage to constantly give physical confrontations, trying to block Li You to the baseline position.

The two collided physically, and when they couldn't get rid of the defense, they approached the bottom left of the basket, and Li You, who was constantly accelerating, suddenly crossed and pulled back.

The sudden sudden stop made Hardaway, who was still sliding on defense, pause slightly.

The moment he switched to his right hand, Li You accelerated to break through again, rushed to the paint area, and tilted his body to complete the basket against Hardaway, who came up again!

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

Li You, who completed the offense, stood under the basket and slapped his biceps, which caused a burst of cheers from the fans in the front row.

was attacked again, Hardaway wanted to communicate with his teammates, but in the end he silently took the baseline ball.

The Magic team that defeated Michael Jordan in the playoffs that year is no longer there, "Cobra" Grant is injured, and Hardaway can't stand it alone.

The Knicks' outside defense changed at will, and Li You was the weakest defense among the several, and when he reached the low post, he had to rely on the help of his teammates.

Hardaway hit a single with his back in the left blocking area again, and after continuous play, he quickly turned to the baseline direction, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and rushed to the bottom left of the basket with Li You.

Ewing, who assisted in the defense, soon arrived, Hardaway jumped to pass, and the moment Ronnie Secali received the ball, Oakley, who shrank to the basket, cut the ball hard.

"Smack!!"

Even the ball with his hand was hit, and Ronnie Secali subconsciously screamed, raised his arm, and tried to fight for a foul.

But the referee didn't say anything, and Oakley gave the ball to Alan Houston, who was on the receiver, and the Knicks launched another transition offense.

The Magic team quickly retreated, and Brian Shaw, who got the chance to start tonight, was delayed for the first time, and Nick Anderson did not miss "Big Mom" again this time, and followed the quick retreat.

Neither Ewing nor Oakley followed the madness, but dragged it out last.

Hardaway, who quickly returned to the defense, followed Lee You's side, and the Magic quickly completed the alignment, forcing the Knicks to slow down.

“Let's go Knicks！ Let's go Knicks！ Let's go Knicks！ ”

Falling into the position, the fans began to cheer loudly for the home team, and when they came to the right wing, Alan Houston immediately gave the ball to Ewing on the free throw line, and then cut in without the ball, and quickly rushed to the basket, without a chance to run to the left bottom corner.

On the left near baseline, Larry Johnson's cover was squeezed through, and Alan Houston still couldn't get an open spot.

On the left flank, Li You made a quick tactical gesture, signaled "Big Mom" to lift up, and then immediately moved laterally, taking Ewing's hand and passing the ball at the top of the arc.

The moment he received the ball, Hardaway posted it, and Ewing covered with good quality, but as long as his body squeezed more than halfway, he could rely on hand movements to complete the defense.

Ewing went down, and Lee Yoo, who was holding the ball in his right hand, also accelerated to break through, and the Magic's defense was compressed, and Larry Johnson, who was alerted, quickly moved to the top of the arc.

Breaking through to the free throw line, the traveling Lee Woo sent a pass from behind, and Larry Johnson ignored the saved Strong after receiving the ball, and quickly jumped at the top of the arc!

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

The cheers in Madison Square Garden were louder, and the head coach of Adubatu on the sidelines looked helplessly at the bench, and sighed secretly in his heart when he saw Grant sitting in a precarious position.

Changing the starting lineup, Hardaway made all-out efforts to save Lee's three-pointers and was more focused when defending off the ball, but none of these adjustments had much effect.

The defensive line was compressed, and some players could not concentrate on the defense, and the head coach of Adubatu could only remind loudly:

"Concentrate and follow your defenders!"

The noisy scene made it difficult for everyone on the Magic team to hear what the head coach shouted, but they didn't have to think about it to know, "pay attention to defense"!

At 6:18, the score difference came to double digits again.

retreated to Li You and "Auntie" to bump fists, and by the way, they encouraged:

"It's a good throw, and the extra practice seems to have some effect!"

Scoring consecutive points made Larry Johnson very proud:

"Try to get the opponent as soon as possible!"

In the second half of the game, the Magic finally found some touch, finishing under the basket several times, but the defense always leaked, and the Knicks scored easily.

Hardaway, who became more and more depressed, was substituted with 1 minute and 52 seconds left in the first quarter, passed so many balls, and did not get a single assist.

By the end of the first quarter, at 18:29, the Knicks still led by 11 points.

Already changing into training clothes on the bench, Li You looked at the rotation lineup and said to Alan Houston on his side with a smile:

"I'm already thinking about the next round of opponents!"

Alan Houston didn't know about this stalk, and said seriously:

"You still have to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack, 4 assists in a single quarter, Lee, you are going to break the record again tonight!"

Li You shrugged his shoulders, his happiness could not be shared, and he suddenly felt a little lonely at this time:

"Maybe this meme won't exist anymore"

Thank you for your subscription and support.
