The regular season of the 97~98 season has just begun, and many teams are still in a state of slow running-in.

As a 97-year-old flower show, Chauncey Billups has also attracted much attention after entering the league.

Although he can't compare to his fellow first-round pick Tim Duncan, Billups still gets more attention than other rookie players on the Celtics.

The Celtics have also changed their head coach this season, with Rick Pitino taking over.

Billups didn't seem to be able to adapt to the pace of the NBA game, nor did he adapt to the whirlwind Kombat required by Captain Pitino, so he came to Madison Square Garden and was blown up by Li You.

In the 30 minutes he played, Billups was 1-of-5 shooting, with 3 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 9 turnovers and 6 fouls

After six fouls off the field, Billups was scolded by Pitino's head coach, which made the rookie's eyes red, and he returned to his seat completely closed himself with a towel.

The coach of the Celtics, Li You, is very familiar with it, he has played against each other in the NCAA, and the circle is so big, and he also went over to greet him in a friendly way before the game.

But in the game, the extremely undisciplined Celtics did not need three quarters of the game to completely lose.

Walter McCarty also got a chance to start tonight after joining the Celtics, but unfortunately he was stretched by the air bag and was defended by Oakley.

"Pat really should have cut down on some of the low post and he's smart in this game, more involved in the pick-and-roll, Lee can score with him, all he has to do is put the ball in the basket!"

In the MSG commentary box, Walter Fraser glanced at the data and briefly commented on Ewing, who has been frequently reported recently.

"Oh!"

The New York fans at the scene couldn't hear the legend's evaluation, but they still gave cheers when they watched the gorilla basket relay in the air and eat cakes and dunk.

At 49:72, with 5:22 left in the third quarter, the Celtics called a timeout and the game was going into garbage time.

The last game was not good, but tonight Ewing was hard again, before the end of the game, 7 of 13, 8 of 10 free throws, has 22 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

With a winning grin, the gorilla walked to the bench and celebrated with fist bumps with his teammates.

Lee Woo patted Knight, and then he was off, and after joining the Celtics, his friend did get more playing time.

Jeff Van Gundy is very satisfied with the team's performance, although it is a game, but every player on the court has played, which makes the coaching team feel doubly!

Played 22 minutes, 5-of-9, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover.

Seeing that the main lineup was no longer playing, the fans at the scene were a little regretful, but they soon cheered for the atmosphere group on the stage.

Li You, who was sitting on the bench, saw the Celtics take Bruce Bowen, and a familiar memory appeared in his mind for a while:

"Ghostfoot Abalone hasn't evolved yet"

As an undrafted player, Bowen could only eat on the Heat side last season, but unfortunately he couldn't be on the atmosphere group.

Joining the Celtics this season, Bowen has been promoted to the atmosphere group and can finally get some playing time.

The Celtics' turnovers were mounting, Antoine Walker was on the court for a few more minutes, and after Bang Bang hit the iron, he finally didn't have the face to brush it anymore

With 2-of-15 shooting and 9 points from the free-throw line, Antoine Walker was a complete stretch tonight.

In this game, in the end, no one on the Knicks played more than 26 minutes.

70:108, in the end, the Knicks defeated the Celtics and won 3 consecutive victories!

Last season, Li You was a substitute at the beginning, and he didn't feel deeply, after all, the rotation players played very hard, and they tried their best to show themselves after they came on the court.

After the start of this season, Li You can clearly feel the slack state of the opponent, and throughout November, there is a high probability that the starting lineup will find the time to feel.

At the end of the last home court of the week, the New York fans in the stadium were still enthusiastically shouting that the Knicks would play three consecutive Western road games.

Walter Fraser, dressed in a formal suit, deliberately wore a blue tie, and received the nickname "Rogue Clyde" that year, which deeply influenced the preferences of a generation of New York fans.

Old fans miss the championship-winning Knicks team at every turn, and they also have something to do with him.

Walter Fraser usually interviews Lee Woo after the game, and the two can summarize the game by the way:

"It's great to see you teach the rookie on the other side a lesson, Lee, talk about the team's form since the start of the game!"

"I believe the Knicks are the first team in the league to prepare for the new season, and that's our attitude, and we're going to build a lead early in the regular season."

'We're in great shape, we're all hungry for the title, and it's my responsibility to get everyone involved in the attack, and the coaching staff have devised great tactics for that!'

After bragging about X, I will briefly explain the routine of the Knicks team in individual rounds for fans, after these two games, it is already a fixed drama for Li You.

Ewing, who was walking to the players' tunnel with a towel, noticed that the two were talking and laughing on the sidelines, commenting on the game casually, and his heart was just lemon.

Thinking of the press conference that followed, the gorilla secretly cursed the amnesiac media in his heart:

"What's wrong with getting a little more pay?"

On November 6, 1997, the Knicks will challenge the Suns that night and officially start their Western road trip.

There wasn't much hot news at the beginning of the season, and the old guys were still training to find their form, so Li You's record was discussed for so many days, and it was still hot.

Hook took the opportunity to market, and after Li You came to Phoenix, he participated in an event with his cousin Kidd to promote the "Big Eyes" sneakers.

Stockton was unable to play early in the season due to injury, and Lee Woo and Kidd became the frontrunners in assists.

The hook was blown violently before the game, and the clichéd point guard duel moved out again, and as a result, half time of the game that night was spent.

61:35, propaganda for several days, and that's it?

At halftime, the Phoenix fans who bought tickets to watch the game were so angry that they booed!

In the first quarter of the game, Li You made a slight effort, 5 of 8 in the single quarter, 3 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, 2 of 2 free throws, 15 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 1 steal.

At 34:14, the Knicks led by 20 points in the first quarter.

On the on-site commentary seat, Kevin Harlan, a commentator who had just joined TNT, reluctantly concluded:

"14-of-40 in the half, 0-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, a disastrous first half! The Suns don't seem to be in the game yet. ”

The point guard matchup was naturally broadcast live across the United States, and it turned out like this, and it is no wonder that the Suns fans booed.

In the end, the game was anticlimactic, and the main players of both sides did not play more than 25 minutes, and the Knicks started early.

In garbage time, the happiest is Ben Wallace, and the situation is already much better than his situation last season with the Bullets.

It's just that no one cares about the undrafted performance, Ben Wallace played nine minutes and had four points and seven rebounds, including two frontcourt rebounds.

Steve Nash has officially entered the rotation this season and is currently playing for Kidd off the bench, resulting in 0-of-8 shooting tonight, with 2 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover.

This kind of performance made head coach Danny Angie frown secretly.

Played 25 minutes, 3-of-7, 6 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 turnover, Kidd went to the back and completely fished.

At 108:75, the Knicks finally defeated the Suns and continued their winning streak.

After this game, the Knicks flew to Los Angeles overnight, and tomorrow night, they will take on the Lakers back-to-back.

After the point guard showdown, there was a center matchup, and after a few rests, O'Neal returned from injury.

The cautious O'Neal does not have Ewing's salary, and he also has 12.86 million US dollars this season, which makes the sharks unhappy that the New York media ranked Ewing ahead of him again

Of the four centers, only Olajuwon won the championship, and every time they meet, the media has to discuss the ranking of the four.

Maybe David Robinson didn't care about that, but O'Neal kept it in his heart.

On the night of the 7th, the Great Western Forum Arena and the stage were all set up, and Los Angeles fans who bought tickets to watch the game were looking forward to a hard-fought center matchup.

The whole Knicks team naturally had to support the gorillas, and Ewing frequently received singles that night!

It's just that in addition to the iron-blooded jump shot, Ewing frequently hit the iron with several low-post strong attacks.

O'Neal, who was playing at home, wanted to beat the gorilla once he was so energetic.

The game was not bad to watch, Li You and Van Exel would take the lead in giving the ball to the center forward in the first half, and then both players pulled away and watched the two go head-to-head.

Without a defensive package, the young and strong O'Neal scored easily with several low-post strong attacks and turns.

It's just that once they get to the free throw line, the sharks who have just returned from injury will be iron.

Ewing's situation is just the opposite of O'Neal's, the low post is not good, and when it comes to free throws, all of them are steadily scored!

In the end, this center duel was enjoyed by the Los Angeles fans at the scene.

At 105:98, the Knicks successfully defeated the Lakers and won 5 in a row!

The Knicks were able to win the game, mainly because Li You, Alan Houston, and Starks performed well enough outside the three-point line and gave the gorillas enough support.

The opposite Lakers, who were 2 of 14 from beyond the three-point line tonight, were able to open up the difference, mainly relying on conversion offense.

Van Ecxel has been in a slump in recent games, shooting 3-of-10 tonight and shooting 30 per cent from the field.

Kobe Bryant, who got more playing time, came off the bench and went on 1-of-9 shooting to finish with four points, one rebound and one assist.

Despite the loss, the Lakers fans at the scene didn't care, O'Neal made 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 9 free throws, and got 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Two 1-on-1 frontal blocks Ewing made the Los Angeles fans at the scene shout with excitement.

"The Lakers lost, the Sharks didn't!"

When the Knicks won, everyone was naturally in a good mood, only Ewing felt that he had lost face and had a far-fetched smile.

8-of-20, 9-of-10 free throws, 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers.

This is not the first time this has happened, and Ewing struggled to digest the ball efficiently in the playoffs last season, which is why Lee You's usage rate has increased.

In tonight's game, Li You was 5-of-10, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and 2-of-3 from the free throw line, and efficiently scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

With the center as the core, he continues to score and play, and as an outside battery, Li You is still the most efficient player in the team.

Jeff Van Gundy naturally noticed this situation, but the stage was set up, and it was really impossible to let a 20 million super center be a pie forward.

"Keep the momentum going! Aim for a complete victory in November. ”

"A good record also helps fans vote!"

The bald young marshal drew a pie for everyone again, and when it came to the All-Star Game, the gorilla's eyes lit up, and he no longer bothered about tonight's performance, he wanted to be the ticket king!

Alan Houston stabbed Li You next to him and whispered:

"I think you can get the starting spot this year, and the Magic team is not as good as us."

Lee You doesn't care about the All-Star starting spot, and the one competing with him is Anfernee Hardaway.

Fans don't vote for results at all, and who gets the starting spot depends on the popularity of the player:

"The All-Star starters have to pass the ball, maybe this is the last All-Star for Mydunk."
