On October 31, 1997, the 97~98 season officially began.

There was no special opening game at this time, and there were 14 games that night.

Most fans will choose to watch the home team's game, and if they have money and time, they will come to support a wave, and it is also a wish to watch the game in front of the TV.

Chicago fans can see another championship flag flying over the United Center arena!

And for New York fans, they will attack the championship in the new season, and everyone firmly believes that the team will rush out of the East, and the Bulls are no longer good!

Throughout the month of October, the New York media frantically touted the Knicks' roster depth, and despite the fact that the regular season hadn't even begun, New York fans were convinced.

At 7 p.m. that night, the Knicks will host the Hornets, and many New York fans choose to enter early to watch Lee You's pre-game warm-up by the way.

“wow！！”

Every time a goal is scored, it will cause cheers from the fans, especially when he sees Li You throwing farther and farther, the cheers are getting louder and louder.

Wearing the white jersey of the home team, a white compression shirt inside, a white arm guard on the right arm, and white compression pants on the lower body, Li You's equipment for the new season is a little more lost.

According to the requirements of the contract, Li You's upper feet are naturally also hooked sneakers.

Surface brother Jason Kidd's Nike Air Zoom Flight V, Knicks colorway, "big eye" sneakers in this era of bells and whistles, especially the side plating, is particularly conspicuous.

The term "equip dog" has not yet appeared, but Li You's outfit will soon sweep the streets of New York...

After finishing the warm-up, assistant coach Don Chaney was smiling and waiting for Lee Woo near the players' tunnel:

"What a great state! More and more fans are coming to see you warm up. ”

"When everyone gets used to it, they won't enter in advance to see me warm up."

Seeing the fans on both sides of the tunnel waving vigorously, Li You immediately stepped forward to high-five the enthusiastic fans.

Don Channey, who walked to the players' tunnel, didn't care about Li You's words, he knew New York, and many people who bought tickets to watch the game were tourists:

"Every year there are new fans, it's nice to be young..."

The Hornets who came to New York were preparing for the game step by step, and in the team, Anthony Mason Jr. felt sour in his heart, and he completely appreciated the likes and dislikes of New York fans.

After only one season away from the team, no one paid attention to him.

Glenn Rice is also not in a good mood, he exploded last season and won the All-Star Game mVp, only to get a Notica sneaker sponsorship.

Looking at a few rookie sneaker commercials in the offseason, watching Hook brandishing a knife to sign Lee Yo, Glenn Rice followed with Lemon.

As soon as the visitors finished their game, Madison Square Garden erupted in loud cheers.

"The Hornets added guard David Wesley and forward Tony Famar in the offseason."

"With both new signings getting a chance to start tonight, plus Glenn Rice, Anthony Mason Jr. and Verratti Divac, the Hornets have three strikers in their starting lineup tonight."

At the mSG live commentary booth, commentator Mike Brin gave a brief introduction to his opponents.

"With Dell Curry on the bench and a Hornets team that has made targeted additions, it should be a good result this season!"

Walter Fraser also gave his opinion, and like the Knicks, the Hornets are currently considered a more balanced team in the East.

Larry Johnson was very sorry that he didn't meet his old club in the playoffs last season.

In the first game of the new season, he met the Hornets, and "Auntie" suddenly came to the spirit, completed the appearance ceremony, and frequently gave Li You a look when he warmed up at the end...

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

As soon as the ball was about to jump, the New York fans on the scene began to shout loudly, cheering for the home team, and after watching too many New York media reports, everyone was looking forward to a hearty victory tonight.

As Ewing easily jumped to the ball, cheers resounded in the arena again, and Li You, who received the ball, made a quick tactical gesture and immediately rushed across the halfcourt.

David Wesley, who followed the Celtics last season, seems to have not adapted to the Hornets' defensive system.

Sensing that Ewing behind him had moved up, David Wesley stepped forward to move, but just moved under his feet, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly went in and out, shook right and left, and instantly passed the defense.

Ewing's cover was all fake, a two-on-two attack on one side, and the gorilla suddenly and quickly went down.

Divac, who came out of the defense, saw that his teammates were out of position, and wanted to delay Li You immediately, but when he saw Ewing quickly going down, he immediately hesitated.

Li You handled the ball very quickly, could not break through to the left blocking area, and quickly hit the ground and passed the ball between the movements, and immediately broke through the defense.

Ewing received a pass in the paint area, noticed that Mason's defense contracted, and simply completed the throw directly in front of the basket!

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

Eat the cake quickly, Ewing waved his fist in celebration, and everyone on the Knicks quickly retreated.

"Lee's well-placed passing allows Ewing to finish without having to adjust, and I love seeing that kind of offense, simple and efficient!"

Walter Fred opened with a fierce blow, and wanted to continue to blow two sentences, but the partner next to him immediately shouted:

"Nice cap! Ewing blocks Divac's turnaround shot! ”

Commentator Mike Brin instantly raised his voice, saw the Knicks launch a transition offense, and then shouted:

"The Hornets aren't done yet! Oh! Lee delivered another beautiful assist! ”

Larry Johnson, who was sprinting all the way, had just rushed to the free-throw line when he looked up to see the basketball flying to the top right of the basket.

Hurriedly adjusting his pace, Larry Johnson took to the air, and after catching the ball in the air, he completed the basket with the momentum!

"Bang... Swish! "The conversion of empty catches.

“wow！！”

After receiving the ball, Li You accelerated along the left sideline, and sent a long pass to assist without waiting for half time, which made the fans cheer loudly with beautiful cooperation.

In the next round, David Wesley had just dribbled past half court and Glenn Rice, eager to show himself, opened his hand on the right wing to ask for the ball.

Larry Johnson, who had just scored, was in the heat of his moments, immediately lowering his center of gravity and staring at his opponent.

Simple and rough offense, after three threats, a quick release of the ball with his right hand, Glenn Rice cross-step breakthrough, right block position, emergency stop jump shot iron!

"Bang!"

The moment the basketball popped up, Ewing in front of the basket grabbed the rebound, and Divac wanted to shout to remind his teammates to retreat quickly, but soon he found that David Wesley failed to match Li You...

The gorilla threw the ball close to the right touchline, and Lee Woo received the ball and rushed across the half court in the blink of an eye.

Quickly came to the right wing, approached the three-point line and began to slow down, and Glenn Rice, who was actively retreating, hurriedly chased in front of Li You.

Before he could make a defensive move, Glenn Rice found that Li You jumped up outside the three-point line and quickly threw the ball!

The basketball flew straight to Larry Johnson down the middle, who easily received the ball, rushed up in three steps, and scored a one-arm dunk!

In less than 2 minutes of the opening game, a wave of 6:0 was played, and the Madison Square Garden Arena was completely boiling, and Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines also clapped his hands:

“Good job！！”

The head coach of the Hornets, Dave Cowens, soon realized that something was wrong, with Glenn Rice struggling and asking for the ball frequently.

In a few rounds, Bang Bang hit the iron, and was continuously beaten by the Knicks into a transition offense.

With Glen Rice missing from beyond the three-point line this time, the long rebound was picked up by Lee Woo on the left wing.

Facing David Wesley, who came up on guard, Li You led the ball forward with his left hand, then twisted his body and accelerated without the ball from outside the right touchline.

After Li You re-fished the ball with his left hand, the fans in the front row shouted excitedly, and the ball happened in front of them.

Realizing that he was being shaken, David Wesley hurriedly turned around to chase after the defense, but his movements were still a beat slower, and he watched Li You get on the ball quickly.

Without waiting for half time, Li You threw the ball to the left wing outside the three-point line, Alan Houston slowed down and received a pass, and without making adjustments outside the three-point line, he threw the ball away!

"Huh!" Convert three points of hollow into the net!

At 0:13, with 8 minutes left in the first quarter, head coach Dave Cowens was forced to call a timeout.

At this time, Li You had already delivered 4 assists, walked to the bench, and the atmosphere group jumped forward to high-five in celebration.

"It was a beautiful pass, Lee was in complete control of the pace of the game!"

On the commentary bench, Walter Fraser was in a good mood and the game was easy.

After the opening game, the game was going to be spent, and commentator Mike Brin could only laugh and say:

"I'm starting to believe the New York Post, the team is in great shape and the players are more comfortable with each other than they were last season."

Lee can sense that the Hornets' players are not in good shape, and the opponent seems to have not recovered from the offseason.

After the timeout, it was Mason's breakaway that was broken by the Hornets, with Larry Johnson sending the opposition to the free-throw line.

"Shh

In the midst of huge boos, Mason hit the second free throw, and soon, the Knicks switched offense again.

David Wesley was really quick to step back, but he forgot to get in time and Alan Houston delivered an easy cross.

Li You, who followed up quickly, received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and without waiting for the opponent's defense, he converted three points and quickly jumped shot!

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

Smooth offense, fast scoring, and with the exception of the Gorilla's two strong offenses, most of the Knicks' scoring came from transition offense.

At 1:16, the game seems to be decided!

I didn't care that the game had just started, and many Knicks fans began to celebrate the victory of the game...

The huge point difference made the Knicks' offense more and more smooth, and the second half of the game simply turned into an offensive performance.

The Hornets rarely score in open play, which gives the Knicks plenty of transition offense opportunities.

After advancing quickly, rushing to the paint area, Li You easily gave the ball to Ewing who followed behind, who caught the ball and dunked successfully;

Receiving the long rebound, Li You crossed the halfcourt, accurately found Larry Johnson who stole the chicken, and put the basket to the basket;

The Hornets made a rare retreat, and as a result, a simple block, Tony Farmar transitioned to assist the defense, and before he came to the right block, Li You took advantage of the situation to send a behind-the-back pass.

Oakley catches the ball in the right elbow area and makes an open jumper!

Jeff Van Gundy, who has been in custody on the sidelines, was so excited that he kept clapping his hands, watching the Knicks' wave after wave of offense, completely hilarious...

By the end of the first quarter, Madison Square Garden, most of the New York fans in the stadium stood up and cheered loudly for Lee You, who was off the court.

At 17:38, the first quarter of the game ended, and the game basically lost its suspense.

"God! Incredible! In one session, we witnessed a new record! ”

"Lee played the first quarter and dished out 14 assists and only one turnover! Unbelievable, I almost thought I was looking at the technical statistics wrong! ”

Commentator Mike Brin was a little confused, and it took a long time to confirm that it was really 14 assists.

On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere group shouted and screamed, followed by the fans on the spot.

Starks was also dumbfounded, even with the home bonus, 14 assists is outrageous enough:

"Lee, how did you do that?"

Li You, who was holding a kettle to replenish water, heard this question with a question mark on his face:

"The opposite side hit the iron, we counterattacked, everyone saw it, I just gave the ball to the empty teammates!"
