On May 24, 1998, the Jazz quietly reached the Finals.

At 96:92, the Lakers were suppressed by the whole court, and the fans in Los Angeles could only watch the Jazz cheer and celebrate on their home court.

The game wasn't very hot, and the series was over after the Jazz got the match point.

The Battle of Honor Lakers lost again, and the final 4-0 sweep out of the game did not surprise too many people.

O'Neal scored 38 points on 14-of-24 shooting, but that performance didn't make much of a difference, after all, the basketball game is five.

In contrast, most sports media focus more on the Bulls' form.

Despite winning G3, the Bulls' performance on 2-of-11 from the outside is still worrying.

After reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls rarely shot more than 30% from beyond the three-point line, and even slipped from the regular season.

To be able to win, it mainly depends on defense and rebounding, as for offense, G3 Pippen is 5 of 16 again, although he scored 16 points, but the efficiency is really not high.

During the regular season, the Knicks averaged 89.1 points per game, and G3 allowed the Bulls to score 90 points, showing that the defense was still working.

Defensively, the Knicks are second among the teams in the league, even better than the Bulls, and in the playoffs, the stats haven't changed much, and there is no moisture.

On the morning of the 25th, Jeff Van Gundy took the Knicks team to watch the game footage in the hotel conference room.

There was no frustration after the loss, and everyone is still very confident about the game.

Ewing was in a bad mood, G3 game, 6 of 16, 5 of 8 free throws, and got 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers.

According to the game plan, he couldn't respond in the low post.

Facing the Bulls' defense, the Gorillas failed to digest the ball efficiently, and most of the scoring came from eating cakes and making free throws.

Alan Houston and Larry Johnson scored 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Combined with Oakley's 8 points, the Knicks' starting lineup played very consistently, contributing 70 points together.

On the bench, Chris Childs, Starks and Chris Mills also scored although they didn't play much time.

In Jeff Van Gundy's view, if Lee Woo hits a 50% shooting percentage, the Knicks G3 will most likely win.

The bald young coach is full of confidence in this, even if the away efficiency drops, as long as the opponent's three-point shot is not opened, the Knicks still have a chance:

"We've got to stick to our defensive strategy and we've got to protect the rebounds!"

"At 40:44, if we had grabbed a few more rebounds, maybe we'd have opened champagne to celebrate the series by now."

didn't talk about any tactics, Jeff Van Gundy stared at the rebounding data, and passionately gave the Knicks a mental victory.

Although this excuse seems to Li You to be pure nonsense, it has rejuvenated the Knicks

"That's right! We can't let the opponent grab another 15 frontcourt rebounds, and tomorrow night, we should end the series. ”

Ewing looked serious and was the first to respond to Jeff Van Gundy's words, Big Brother spoke, and everyone began to cheer themselves up.

Li You on the side tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, he didn't need this kind of nonsense reason, but at this time, he also comforted himself with everyone.

In his opinion, the Knicks had 83 rounds and 13 turnovers, and the Bulls' defense was not as successful.

If you want to win, keep the pace of the game and improve your shooting percentage!

Alan Houston's main defense Michael Jordan, who was also relatively calm at this time, ended the video lesson, and couldn't help but complain a few sentences:

"The button won't really regain its feel! I always feel that after two days of rest, the other party has returned to the previous calm state. ”

Seeing the bitter gourd face Alan Houston began to lose confidence again, Li You sent his own chicken soup for the soul:

"I never believed that a player who was mediocre in the regular season could explode in a high-intensity playoff game."

"Even if it's Michael Jordan, the Pacers can prevent him from shooting less than 40 percent, and we can do the same."

"It's the Bulls who are under pressure, they can't afford to lose!"

Subconsciously nodded, Li You really didn't say nonsense, Alan Houston also looked at the data, and felt a lot more relieved at this time:

"Let's hope so, we're in better shape!"

“.”

On May 25th, at 20 o'clock that night, the Eastern Conference Finals G4 will officially start.

After the Bulls moved back to one city, most of the major sports media chose to wait quietly.

The calm before the storm, if the Bulls continue to win, the series score is back to 2:2, and the blow is over!

Once the Knicks get the match point, let's pop champagne and never worry about hot news in the offseason.

Before 8 p.m., the United Center arena was full, and more than 23,000 tickets were already sold out.

Bulls fans want to see the team complete a second triple championship, and buying tickets to watch the game is their biggest support!

On the NBC commentary booth at the scene, Bob Costas felt the warm atmosphere of the scene, and was constantly poisoning the Bulls:

"After two days of rest, we can see that Michael Jordan has returned to his usual calm state!"

"The familiar dunk is back, and maybe it's been a tough season for the Bulls, but as long as you win this game, the series will be back on the same page."

As a guest commentator, Doug Collins also did his homework before the game and gave his opinion with a smile:

"The Knicks have gone through 10 games in the playoffs so far, and Lee is shooting 50.3% per game, which is an extremely terrifying performance!"

"In 10 playoff games, the three-point shooting rate has reached an exaggerated 49.9%!"

"I'm sure Lee will bounce back strongly tonight, everyone is underestimating him, 63 wins, first in the league, the Knicks are a better team."

Hearing this data, Jim Gray on the side was immediately taken aback:

"God! I almost thought I heard it wrong, it's incredible, maybe after this year's playoffs, everyone should get to know Lee again! ”

The cheers grew louder when the United Center arena resounded with Sirius, familiar to Chicago fans.

Wearing the white training uniform of the home team, Michael Jordan appeared calmly on the stage and simply high-fived his teammates.

Since the Eastern Conference semifinals, Mai Dunk has been a little frustrated, he didn't expect to fight the Pacers to a tie-break, and he never regarded the Knicks as a real opponent.

After losing two games in a row, the anger completely dissipated, and Michael Jordan also realized that this was not the Bulls of '96, they were not that dominant.

If you want to win, you have to work hard.

Everyone on the Knicks team who has completed the game is moving their bodies, and Li You also looks calm.

He doesn't need the Mental Victory Method, he believes in his physical state more!

In Game 4 of the series, both sides are already thoroughly familiar with each other's style of play.

Phil Jackson didn't play any tricks either, and in key games, he used the game strategy that all coaches would use - to fight the main force!

From the first quarter of the game, the two sides entered a hand-to-hand battle similar to last year.

Due to a loss in the last game, after the start, the Knicks no longer used the tactics of local 2 to 2, and Li You instead looked for Alan Houston first.

Continuous covers, running without the ball, catching and shooting, and as a result, under the tough defense of Mai Dunk, Alan Houston opened with a series of irons.

Fortunately, Oakley and Larry Johnson are in good shape, and Ewing is also in low post to help the Knicks score points.

The Bulls' offense was also iron-clading, and the score slowly rose, which stimulated the fans at the scene to exclaim continuously.

In the first few minutes of the opening game, Michael Jordan would immediately be caught by the Knicks' upline defenders as soon as he received the ball at the elbow zone.

With 5:37 left in the first quarter, Michael Jordan hit a difficult step-back jumper for the second time against Alan Houston's defense in the right blocker.

“Wow！”

At 11:11, seeing Mai Kou complete the goal of the sports battle again, the United Center Arena erupted in the biggest cheers after the opening.

Alan Houston didn't care, the more iron the opponent, the more confident he became, clapping his hands to cheer himself up, and the Knicks quickly served the baseline ball.

The Bulls started tonight with Cookic and Longley, with Rodman coming off the bench at this point.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The sound of exhausted defensive cheers resounded through the arena, and Bang Bang hit the iron after the opening game, which made the Bulls fans at the scene uneasy.

Harper still acted as a pendant, and after the opening, he led the whole court to defend Li You.

Compared to playing away from home, at this time, the veteran continued the defensive intensity of the previous game, constantly moving his hands, and a series of small tricks such as pulling and pushing his legs were all used.

Li You, who is holding the ball in his right hand, uses the ball protector to push away the opponent's hand movements, and at the same time holds the ball and accelerates with all his might.

Immediately after the emergency stop, he dribbled the ball behind his back, changed to his left hand, and then quickly changed direction under his crotch, and after pressing his shoulder, Li You rushed across the middle line against the defense.

After the opening, Li You kept stopping and getting up, and Harper's small movements had limited effect, and the veteran could only slide desperately most of the time.

Lee's advance was fast, and when the two came to the right wing, the Bulls had just finished defending.

Noticing that Li You waved, everyone on the Knicks pulled away in turn, Alan Houston was in charge, and the other three who started the game were ready to rush for rebounds.

Lee Woo, who is holding the ball in his right hand, pouts and protects the ball, while Harper, who is on his side, keeps giving confrontations.

After blowing up the ball on the spot, Li You's shoulders shook back, and then his right hand fished the ball again, pretending to break through and dribbling a big step and suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of Harper's sliding step to the left back, Li You, who shook off the space, dribbled under his crotch after the frame, and paused slightly the moment he switched to his left hand, and then increased the intensity of the dribble and quickly carried the dribble.

Harper, who slid forward again, was just about to start interfering, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, exploded the ball again vigorously, and with the help of the rebound of the basketball, he completed the horizontal step and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

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

At 14:11, the Knicks took the lead again, and for a while there were boos in the arena.

As soon as the Bulls' defensive intensity dropped, Lee Woo seized the opportunity and completed the goal.

Harper reluctantly raised his hand to indicate that he was careless and did not seal it in time.

In such a game, suddenly being thrown into a three-pointer by the opponent is very demoralizing.

Fortunately, Pippen finally had a dumpling outside the three-point line tonight, and the Bulls attacked, and Mai dunk was caught in the right elbow area.

Quickly returned the ball to Pippen at the top of the arc, and Larry Johnson didn't return quickly to the defense, watching the opponent shoot an open three-pointer!

Scottie Pippen responds again from beyond the three-point line! It seems that his projection form tonight is very good! ”

Bob Costas immediately praised Pippen's performance, making 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and the two of them played well on both ends of the floor tonight.

At 14:14, the two sides fell into the position to attack, Li You broke through, Pippen cut into the iron, and the score stopped for more than a minute.

The Bulls attacked, and as the 24-second approach approached, Mai Dunk, who was running back continuously, did not receive the ball this time.

After Pippen split the ball, Harper had to dangle from beyond the three-point line, dribbled a step, and the right wing came up with a two-point catcher jumper.

"Bang!"

The long rebound popped up, just received by Li You, held the ball in his left hand, and accelerated along the left sideline.

Harper just chased Li You's side, and before he could cut the ball, he was suddenly shaken around the ball from behind, and subconsciously accelerated his pace to choose to defend, and Li You turned around sharply after switching to his right hand.

With his left hand catching the ball again, Li You instantly got rid of the defense and quickly rushed to the left flank along the left sideline.

Everyone in the Bulls team hurriedly retreated, approaching the three-point line Li You began to slow down, and Harper, who was chasing after the defense quickly, came to the front again, lowered his body center of gravity, and prepared to delay his shot.

Noticing that the opponent moved his footsteps, Li You quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and the moment he switched to his right hand, he wrapped the ball around his back sharply, and at the same time used his feet to complete the retreat.

Before Harper could come up to the defense, he was shaken out a step away, and watched Li You quickly close the ball and shoot a jump shot on the left flank!

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

"Oh! Like I said, Lee is going to bounce back, he's changing the game with his projections! ”

Doug Collins on the commentary bench loudly praised Li You's attack, but such an offensive choice seemed to the two people next to him to be a blind chicken throw.

Michael Jordan had a somewhat ugly face, he had just stepped back to halfcourt, a situation he hadn't seen much in his previous playoff experience.

At 17:14, the Knicks took another three-point lead.

With 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You glanced at the time, quickly retreated, and high-fived his teammates to celebrate.

In this kind of conversion attack, Ewing and Oakley did not run to the frontcourt, and the two kept clapping their hands on the inside, directing everyone to settle down.

In the final two minutes of the first quarter, Cookac and Mai dunk hit shots one after another.

But as Oakley scrambled for the frontcourt rebound, Lee Woo shook off Harper in the bottom left corner and hit a three-pointer on the second offense, and the Knicks still lead.

At 20:18, the United Center arena suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Played the first quarter of the game, Mai was 3-of-8 from the field, 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, and scored 7 points, Pippen was 3-of-4 from the field, 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 9 points, and Cookac was 1-of-4 from the field and contributed 2 points.

Everyone on the Bulls looked serious, and they didn't say anything, just trying to take a deep breath and try to regain their strength.

Phil Jackson was a little anxious when he saw this situation, but on the surface, he was quiet and rotated step by step.

also played the first quarter of the game, Li You was 3-of-5 from the field, 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

Thanks to the three-point shot, his scoring speed is fast, coupled with his good physical condition, which also makes Li You more confident:

"John, let go of the attack and try to score more points at this time!"

Starks became particularly cautious when he arrived at the away game, and Li You sent chicken soup and only nodded slightly.

The increasingly noisy scene forced Jeff Van Gundy to raise his voice and shout to the upcoming players:

"Watch out for mistakes, don't give the opponent a chance to score easily, and if necessary, you can directly foul!"

"We need to play tougher, remember my words and don't let the opponent score easily!"

The bald young marshal saw the opportunity and couldn't wait to go on the field in person to give Mai two punches.

The Knicks also have a lot of sassy defense.

The Bulls, who were the main players, just let Michael Jordan take a break, and Pippen, Rodman, and Longley came directly on the court.

Kerr and Scott Burrell partnered in the backcourt, and the rotation lasted just 2 minutes and 32 seconds before Michael Jordan was substituted.

The Knicks also changed to the main lineup, and the two sides had a good heart, and in the second quarter of the game, they suddenly strengthened their defense.

Ewing successfully received Li You's through ball at the bottom left of the basket, and just turned around to carry Cheerful, Rodman pounced and hung on the gorilla to complete the block.

Despite not covering the ball, the ramming defense allowed Ewing's basket to knock out of the frame.

Jeff Van Gundy yelled at the referee and didn't get the feedback he wanted.

The Knicks' defensive end, which was quickly retreating, was not polite, and the rare semi-conversion offense, the right wing dunked the ball and went straight to the inside.

It's just that in the paint area, Oakley jumped up the cover while his right hand and right hand were hidden pulling, and his left hand pressed down at the same time as a move and two dragons played with pearls.

The excellent core strength eventually protected the dunk, and Oakley's pull didn't do much, and the dunk even had time to tilt his head in the air, and finally grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it to the basket.

"Squeak!"

The whistle blew, and finally the basketball bumstled twice and still knocked out of the basket.

"Shhhhh

Seeing that Mai Buckle almost fell to the ground, the Bulls fans at the scene were also extremely angry and immediately booed.

"Shet! You're trying to poke me in the eye?! ”

The poor defensive actions of his friend made Michael Jordan a little angry, and he asked loudly after landing, but Oakley didn't care, but choked his head and said:

"Come to the basket! I'm going to let you lie on the floor! ”

The two were under the basket to top the cow, and finally were separated by the referee, and Li You, who completed the retreat, gave the old guy a thumbs up, and the real six relatives did not recognize it.

After calming his emotions, Michael Jordan pulled his face and hit both free throws.

At 26:25, with 7 minutes and 51 seconds left in the half, the Bulls closed the gap again.

Poor defensive moves have proven to be a real deterrent, and at least Pippen's offense by cutting to the basket is starting to diminish.

Li You did not reduce his breakthrough, this offense, the Knicks had no chance after passing a lap, the left elbow area of the free throw line, received Ewing's hand and passed the ball, and immediately cut from the free throw line to the basket.

As soon as he got rid of Harper and came to the paint area, he was blocked by Rodman, who assisted in the defense.

"Squeak!"

Although the foul was blown, Li You didn't have time to complete the shooting action, and compared a shooting gesture, but the referee signaled to send the sideline ball.

Seeing Rodman's triumphant appearance, Bob Costas was excited, and then raised his voice and said:

"The pace of the game seems to be back on the Bulls' side, with the defending champions showing tough defense!"

As soon as the words fell, Li You, who opened the sideline ball, suddenly threw the ball to the upper right of the basket, Ewing jumped up to catch the ball and easily put the ball into the basket.

When the sneak attack succeeded, the gorilla roared again, beating his chest in anger to cheer himself on.

Doug Collins in the commentary seat also happily blew Li You at this time:

"That's Lee's style of play, he's always looking for casual opportunities to score himself or assist his teammates to score."

"Seeing is also a talent!"

Pippen, who had performed well from beyond the three-point line in the first quarter, seemed to have completely regained his confidence, and McDunk was once again caught in the right elbow area.

Quickly flick the ball to Pippen, who is close to the left flank, who catches the ball and hits an open jumper.

The rebound was grabbed by Ewing, and then he threw the ball vigorously, and the basketball quickly flew to the left wing, just past the halfcourt, Li You received the ball with his left hand, and continued to accelerate to the three-point line.

Harper, who dropped back quickly, continued to give a physical confrontation, and on the other side, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson also rushed through the half.

3 to 3 in the game, the left wing was close to the three-point line, Li You turned his head to slow down, pretended to observe the position of his teammates, and then suddenly went in and out.

Shaking right and struggling left, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly lowered his body's center of gravity and pretended to break through, and Harper subconsciously slid to the right back.

Li You pulled back from his hips, returned to the three-point line, and converted three points to shoot quickly!

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

The Bulls fans at the scene began to boo incompetently, and Harper was completely helpless, he just observed the situation on the court, and he was not paying attention and lost his position again.

With three fingers erected in his left hand, Li You, who quickly retreated, jumped up and down the plug and continued to install X.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines loudly reminded his players to stay focused on the defense while gesturing tactically to slow down the pace of the game.

Pulling the game into hand-to-hand combat again, Michael Jordan began to receive the ball with his back in a deeper position and complete the offense.

After Lee Yoo failed to try to speed up, the Knicks' scoring began to be piecemeal.

Alan Houston had just taken advantage of Ewing's cover, the left block position, and after receiving the ball, he made a jumper.

Turning around, Michael Jordan responded with a rollover jumper on the right side near the baseline.

The Knicks' offensive time was approaching 24 seconds, and they pretended to receive Ewing's hand-handed pass to the right elbow area, blocking the right area, and Li You suddenly ran back and went straight to the basket.

After receiving a pass from the gorilla and not stopping the ball, Li You threw the ball to the rebound, and the basketball fell into the basket after hitting the high board.

Alan Houston and Lee Yow kept slipping the bottom line, and most of the rounds were fake, after all, the Knicks' big man passing ability was average, but Harper and McDunk didn't dare to be careless, so they could only toss back and forth.

In the second half of the second quarter, he failed to speed up, and Li You's jumper increased.

The two sides began to strike iron frequently, and at the last moment, 1 cent of rain also fell.

The scoring efficiency was not high, which made the Bulls fans at the scene more and more nervous.

"Shh

Amid huge boos, the halftime ended at 39:38, and the Knicks still maintained a slight lead.

Michael Jordan walked quickly to the players' tunnel with a blank face, and everyone on the Bulls followed closely behind them with serious expressions.

On the other side, Li You had a smile on his face and exchanged fists with the atmosphere team, and then slowly returned to the locker room with his teammates.

The mentality of the players on both sides is different, the Bulls can't lose anymore, and the Knicks are on their side, it's a big deal to play a battle of Tianwang Mountain, anyway, G5 is still in Madison Square Garden, no matter how you think about it, you have an advantage.

"He was 6-of-14 in the half, and McDunk scored 16 points, Pippen was 6-of-10, and 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and he also scored 16 points."

"The two played really well, but the role players of the Bulls were completely out of place tonight."

Jim Gray on the commentator was almost speechless when he saw the Bulls' stats, and most of the scoring was focused on the two.

Doug Collins has long discovered this phenomenon, and at this time began to praise Li You's performance:

"5-of-10, 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, like I said before the game, Lee always looks for scoring opportunities."

"The Knicks withstood the Bulls' comeback, and I believe they've found the key to winning."

The three people on the commentary bench expressed their opinions, and the common point was that the defensive intensity of the two sides would not decrease.

After a short halftime break, entering the second half of the game, there was no need for chicken soup, and the Bulls still maintained their high-intensity defense at this time.

The same was true for the Knicks, who were again fighting each other after the start of the third quarter.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

After Michael Jordan missed a step-back jumper in the low post on the left, there was a huge cheer for the defense.

Ewing struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and only then did the Bulls delay give the ball to Lee Woo, who responded.

still rushed through the half court with all his might, and after a few quick stops, Li You crossed the halfway.

Rodman, who started the second half, noticed Ewing who was dragging behind, and instead of retreating to the basket, he was ready to change the defense for a delay.

A high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Ewing crossed the halfcourt and stood outside the three-point line.

Lee Yoo, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly circled the ball behind his back, and the moment he switched to his left hand, he noticed that Rodman had been delayed, and without waiting for the two to form a wrap, he quickly gave the ball to Larry Johnson on the left wing.

Then Ewing went down, Li You moved without the ball, and once again completed the hand-to-hand with "Big Mom" outside the three-point line.

At this point, Pippen combined with Harper to wrap up, and Lee Woo attracted two defenders to return the ball to Larry Johnson, who had moved to the top of the arc.

With no defender in front of him, Larry Johnson took a look at the ball and shot an open three-point jumper.

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

Suddenly cast a cold arrow, seeing that "Big Mom" could also throw a three-point shot, the Bulls looked ugly.

Just as the Knicks will let Pippen go when they pack Michael Jordan, the Bulls' big delays will also pay a price, and Lee Yoo can always find his teammates in time.

With a high-intensity defense, the game turned into a contest of patience again, and Michael Jordan only played half a quarter before hitting the first field goal of the quarter in the left blocking zone.

Alan Houston is getting more and more energetic in defense, and his good physical condition ensures his defensive intensity.

Chase hard, try to interfere, as for whether Mai Dunk can hit the shot, that's not for him to decide.

played most of the game, and the two sides scored piecemeal scores, and each scored 11 points each.

The Bulls fans at the scene couldn't hold back, and when they saw Li You receiving the ball again, they booed.

After the timeout, Kerr replaced Harper, who was playing iron in Bonbon, and although there were zero first-half scorers, Phil Jackson still trusted Kerr.

Li You, who had been playing iron in the previous few offenses, saw that it became Kerr to defend him, and he waved his hand before halftime, and soon the Knicks pulled away in the half.

Not paying attention to the movement behind him, Cole just stuck to Li You's side.

Holding the ball in his right hand, he advanced quickly, dribbled across the half-court, and came to the right wing, where Li You protected the ball sideways.

Approaching the three-point line, Kerr noticed that everyone on the Knicks pulled away in turn, and the defensive end was just distracted, and Li You, who had been sideways to protect the ball, blew up the ball on the spot and quickly turned around with his left hand.

Cole hurriedly rowed to the right, and Li You took advantage of the situation to complete the early change of direction, and the basketball was inserted into the opponent's fingertips and came to the right hand.

Realizing that his defense was out of position, Kerr hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity, slid again, and pounced on Li You's side.

Fishing the ball with his right hand, Li You first pretended to break through, took advantage of Cole's hand to stick to the defense, just dribbled past the three-point line, suddenly exerted force under his feet, quickly retreated, briefly shook off the defense, quickly closed the ball outside the three-point line, and then threw the ball away!

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

"Beautiful goal! Maybe the Bulls shouldn't have made a substitution at this time, and Kerr doesn't seem to have adapted to the defensive intensity on the court! ”

Doug Collins was completely out of the groove at this point, and Lee Yoo once again seized the opportunity to help the Knicks break the deadlock.

Fortunately, on the Bulls' side, Pippen completely found his touch outside the three-point line tonight, received a dunk pass again, and responded from outside the three-point line.

Ewing desperately stuck in position, received a through ball under the basket, caused a foul on Rodman, and helped the Knicks score points with free throws.

Michael Jordan received the ball in the left blocking area, and after a tentative step in the frame, he put the ball with his left hand and crossed to the basket, which also caused Oakley's hand-handling foul.

The iron and the 1-point rain were on the line again, until the end of the third quarter, when Pippen missed from beyond the three-point line, and Li You got the long rebound again, and then took the ball and rushed.

The rest of the Bulls' retreat speed dropped significantly, only Kerr desperately chased the defense, and the two entangled to the paint area, and Li You, who held the ball in his right hand, quickly made a big loop, and at the same time changed the direction of the breakthrough to complete the ball.

After twisting and staggering the defense, Li You came to the bottom left of the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and picked up the basket reflexively!

"God! Lee's speed shows no signs of abating, and Cole is already trying to retreat! ”

Bob Costas saw that Li You could still sprint at full speed at this time, and subconsciously sighed.

At the end of the third quarter, head coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines frowned, and the Bulls' role players were still scoring piecemeal.

At 61:60, the two sides tied again in the first quarter, and after three quarters, the Knicks still lead.

Looking at the score on the court, the noise in the United Center arena is getting louder and louder, and once you lose, it means that the Knicks have a match point.

Thinking of falling behind 1:3, the Bulls fans at the scene could only cheer loudly for the home team.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The main lineup is still on the field, and seeing the hope of winning, Jeff Van Gundy did not make substitutions, and the Bulls on the opposite side only temporarily took Longley.

After a half-quarter break, Harper led the defense again, and Li You held the ball in his left hand and quickly dribbled across the halfcourt.

After dribbling through the middle line, Li You immediately made an emergency stop, changed direction under his crotch, and switched to his right hand, and at the same time, Ewing once again came to the outside of the three-point line to block and dismantle in the high position.

In order to squeeze through the cover, Harper chose to stick to the defense for the first time, trying to cover Li You with his body.

Two extremely fast back dribbles in a row, while the right hand grabbed the ball again, Lee Woo pretended to break through on the right side.

Successfully squeezed through the cover, Harper's right hand was hidden and pulled, but Li You suddenly turned sharply, and the moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to break through from Ewing's left side.

Get rid of Harper, facing Longley, who is quickly delaying the defense, Li You suddenly went in and out sharply during the march, pretending to break through, exerting force at his feet, retreating with the momentum, not giving the opponent's defense a reaction, Li You made a quick jump shot at the top of the arc!

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

The United Center arena suddenly fell silent, and then a huge boo erupted, the pestle was in place, and Longley's eyes were straight, how to prevent this?

At 64:60, the margin came to 4 points, and everyone on the Bulls' bench was quiet.

The Knicks' atmosphere team was shouting happily from the bench at this time, and victory was in sight.

As the game progressed, Li Youcai increased his three-point shooting, and he was keenly aware that the Bulls couldn't rush, and the previous three-point shot hit the iron, and the opponent failed to complete the conversion offense.

"Focus! Protect your rebounds! ”

Jeff Van Gundy was so excited that he almost rushed straight to the field.

Michael Jordan received the ball in the right blocking area, took a big step towards the baseline, and made a drifting back jumper.

Larry Johnson wanted to match Alan Houston with Alan Houston to wrap up the dunk after Pippen sent a pass, but unfortunately the opponent was too deep and too fast, and the defense was ineffective again

Throwing punches and roaring, Michael Jordan clapped his hands and loudly motioned for his teammates to hold on for a turn.

Pippen, who ate dumplings in the first three quarters of the game, hit iron outside the three-point line, and then stopped shooting, but strengthened the breakthrough.

The rain of the Iron Bulls hit again, everyone squeezed under the basket, and the scene became extremely ugly, but the referee continued to blow the whistle.

Seeing Rodman's second rebound, which caused Oakley's foul, Jeff Van Gundy complained loudly in anger:

"It was just a normal foul, he didn't shoot at all, why make a free throw?!"

A lot of playing time makes both sides start to lose rebounds, and this is when free throws are especially important.

Oakley was very upset, and was blown for fouls in a row, and the old guy was so angry that he pushed Rodman viciously, and this one fell down in response, and then complained like the referee:

"Hey! This is definitely a technical foul! ”

Fortunately, the referee saw it clearly, and after the verbal warning, he signaled Rodman to hurry up and take a free throw.

At the critical moment, Rodman scored two free throws, with 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, 72:72, the Bulls relied on stable free throws to tie the score.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The fans shouted excitedly, and everyone once again saw the hope of victory.

At this time, the referee's loose blowing scale made the Bulls' defensive intensity increase again.

Li You pouted and dribbled past half court, Harper was still making moves, and the two pushed and shoved outside the three-point line, and the referee was as blind as if he was blind, allowing Jeff Van Gundy to complain loudly.

Front-row fans have stood up, spitting fragrant mouths in an attempt to disrupt the Knicks' offense.

Cookc, who was substituted on the court, like Rodman, kept pulling Ewing, and the two defended tacitly, and as soon as the gorilla moved forward to cover, Rodman immediately switched positions.

There was no blocking, Lee Woo pouted and came to the left wing, and the Knicks cleared one side again.

Holding the ball in his left hand and raising his center of gravity slightly, Li You leaned over to accelerate, taking advantage of Harper's sliding step to the right back, and quickly dribbled behind his back.

The moment he switched to his right hand, Li You pretended to break through, and at the moment when the opponent came up, he dribbled under his crotch again.

Harper was attacked to support his feet in front of the defense, forcibly changed the center of gravity of his body, and was directly shaken to the ground with his right hand, almost hitting the street

Li You didn't give the other party a chance to stick up again, accelerated the change of direction in front of the body, Harper was just about to straighten up, but he completely threw himself into the street, his body and brain clashed, and he sat on the floor.

"Oh!!"

The Bulls fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed, grabbed the ball with his right hand, Li You completely got rid of the defense, came to the left blocking area, and did not wait for the inside line to come up, and immediately stopped and jumped to shoot!

"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!

"God! It's so exciting, Lee Huang knocked down Harper and helped the Knicks take the lead again! ”

Bob Costas let out a shout of excitement and chanted God several times in a row.

Harper, who stood up, was blown up and stared viciously at Li You, who shook his head and retreated.

At the critical moment, Michael Jordan received the ball again in the low post on the right side, his shoulders swayed, and then he quickly turned to the baseline and quickly made a backward jumper against the defense!

"Huh!" Hit again at medium distance.

Alan Houston and Larry Johnson looked at each other helplessly, and the rate of action was too late.

Harper, who had an explosive mentality, chased Li You's online crosscut, and saw Li You immediately drift and jump at the moment when he received the ball on the right wing, and subconsciously jumped to pounce.

Li You's shot was extremely fast, and Harper, who pounced from his side, did not cover the ball, but directly threw Li You to the ground.

Both fell to the ground at the same time, and the referee finally blew the whistle and gave three free throws.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down! Don't foul easily! ”

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, was a little annoyed and reminded Harper loudly.

"Fack! Next time I'll score here, welcome to continue fouling and give away points! ”

Li You got up and pushed Harper away, even if he heard the head coach's words, the old guy couldn't hold back at this time:

"Be respectful, boy"

As soon as he was halfway through the sentence, he was surrounded by the Knicks, and after Rodman and Pippen rushed in, the two sides began to push and shove constantly.

The rapid whistle sounded continuously, and the Bulls fans at the scene also shouted and cursed.

When Li You stood on the free throw line, he slowed down for a minute, took the basketball with a smile, and hit three free throws steadily.

"Shet!"

Realizing that he had been fooled, Harper scolded angrily, the fierce defense still worked, but the push made Li You breathe a sigh of relief

At 77:74, with 1:28 left in the game, the Knicks took another 3-point lead.

Ewing kept loudly reminding his teammates to align in time at this time, and the victory was close at hand, which made the gorilla excited.

After Pippen dribbled through halfcourt, the Bulls first patiently passed the ball from the outside, and when Harper came to the left wing to receive the ball, Michael Jordan also quickly slipped from right to left.

Li You didn't have to think about it to know that Harper would definitely send a pass, so the moment he succeeded in the smash position, he consciously moved backwards.

Half-high pass, Michael Jordan received the ball, Li You pounced directly, but the button reacted faster, only dribbled one step after putting the ball with his right hand, and then suddenly turned quickly.

The huge range of action allowed Michael Jordan to get rid of Alan Houston's defense in an instant, and the basket was lower left, and his left hand was just about to put the basket, and Ewing was slapped with a big hat in the face by Ewing, who assisted in the defense.

"Squeak!"

The referee blew the whistle, Michael Jordan covered his face, and Ewing raised his hand neatly to signal for a foul.

On the commentary bench, Jim Gray saw blood coming out of the corner of Michael Jordan's right eye, and immediately whispered:

“Oh my god！”

"Looks like Mykin needs to be treated, Patrick Ewing's foul is too vicious!"

Phil Jackson was chasing the referee and complaining loudly about wanting to get one more free throw, while Jeff Van Gundy was shouting that it was just an accident.

The game was forced to pause, and in the Eastern Conference semifinals, a hole was made in the corner of his left eye, and with this injury, it was completely symmetrical.

At the last moment, the players from both sides broke through to the basket and had to take a beating, and Michael Jordan was particularly resistant to the beating, and after a simple stop to stop the bleeding, he returned to the court and hit two free throws steadily.

At 77:76, with 1:08 left in the game, Michael Jordan was still very calm and shouted to his teammates to pay attention to defense.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The Bulls fans in the stadium shouted wildly, and they still had a chance to win the game by one point.

Harper didn't dare to foul easily at this time, but just covered Li You with his body and kept giving physical confrontation.

On the left wing outside the three-point line, Li You sideways to protect the ball and press the time, and the Bulls did not choose to wrap the bag, and Mai dunk loudly reminded his teammates to pay attention to the rebound.

With 12 seconds left in the offensive time, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, blew up the ball on the spot, leaned over to accelerate, and took advantage of Harper's sliding step to the right back, instantly completing the crotch change of direction.

At the same time as switching to the right hand, Li You immediately accelerated with a heavy shoulder, and went straight to the inside against Harper's defense.

Cutting 45 degrees on the left side, the two were entangled and came to the left blocking position, jamming half of the body, Li You noticed that Rodman's auxiliary defense was in place, and immediately turned around during the march.

Switching to his left hand while closing the ball, Li You tilted his body, dodged Harper's block, and threw the ball to the rebound with his left hand!

The moment he shot, the basket was already crowded with players from both teams.

The basketball hit the rebound high, and when it fell off the basket, the United Center arena was instantly quiet, and the basket knocked twice before falling out of the basket.

“Wow！！”

The Bulls fans at the scene cheered loudly, and under the basket, everyone was already rushing together.

It was also impossible to see whose arm had hit the basketball, and the Bulls fans at the scene only saw that the ball could not fall in the air.

At the critical moment, Ewing's height played a role, seeing the right time, grabbing the rebound, carrying the defense, and sending the ball to the basket.

Michael Jordan jumped high and struck a big hat that knocked Ewing stumbling.

"Squeak!"

The referee immediately blew the whistle, and Michael Jordan pulled his face without saying a word, and stood directly by the paint, waiting for Ewing's free throw.

Lesson learnedYes, the Bulls had no one complaining, standing quickly, waiting for the Gorilla to make a free throw.

Li You shook his left hand in annoyance, and Ewing, who was beaten in a daze, tried to adjust his breathing, stood on the free throw line, took the basketball, and aimed for a while before completing the free throw.

"Bang!"

The first free throw hit the iron, the United Center arena instantly boiled, the Bulls fans were so excited that they screamed, Ewing cursed secretly, but fortunately hit the second free throw steadily.

At 78:76, Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, and with 38 seconds left in the game, all three people in the NBC commentary box breathed a sigh of relief at the same time:

"It's a great game, both sides still have a chance, and the Bulls will definitely give the ball to Mai!"

"The Knicks keep this round, and they're going to get the match point!"

Bob Costas subconsciously raised his voice, looking particularly excited.

The timeout gave both sides a breather, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't say much, constantly sending out thick chicken soup:

"We only need to hold on for another 38 seconds and we'll get the match point and reach the finals!"

"Hold on! Protect your rebounds! ”

Ewing and Oakley were gasping for air at this point, and the atmosphere on the bench was too nervous to speak.

Ben Wallace experienced such a race for the first time, covering his mouth with a towel, hugging Ben Davis next to him, looking at the timer and praying silently.

The players from both sides returned to the field, and the United Center Arena was completely boiling at this time.

At the decisive moment, the Bulls fans cheered loudly, believing that Michael Jordan would lead the team to victory.

Pippen quickly drove the ball to the sideline, and after Harper received the ball, Li You immediately defended.

Michael Jordan quickly slipped from left to right, near the baseline on the right, and quickly bounced to the right wing with the help of Cooke's cover.

Harper sent a cross pass and then quickly ran to the bottom left corner, where Michael Jordan received the ball and the Bulls pulled away, leaving only Pippen on the left wing.

“Wow！！”

The familiar one-on-one made the Bulls fans on the scene excited and screamed, which is what Mai Buckle does best!

With the ball in his right hand, Michael Jordan slowly approached the three-point line, slightly raised his center of gravity, and then leaned over to accelerate!

Alan Houston subconsciously slid to the left back, and the two were just close to the blocking position, and Michael Jordan immediately crossed the step and pulled back.

There was no more shaking, and there was room for the shot, and Michael Jordan immediately closed the ball and shot a mid-range pull-up jump shot!

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed on the back edge of the basket and bounced high, and the Knicks' bench and the atmosphere team jumped up.

In the exclamation of the Bulls fans, Ewing grabbed the rebound, Rodman and Cookic all desperately stepped forward to grab the ball, and the gorilla subconsciously twisted around, only to hit Pippen's arms who rushed inside.

Before he could react, the ball was cut off by Pippen, and Larry Johnson realized that he had forgotten to get in the spot, and he followed straight to the basket to close Pippen.

Surrounded by the two, Pippen did not panic, but quickly dribbled the ball to the bottom right corner.

Dribbling the ball out of the crowd, Pippen hurriedly threw the ball vigorously, and the basketball flew straight beyond the three-point line.

At the top of the arc, Michael Jordan jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, and protected it steadily after landing.

After tossing a lap, everyone in the Knicks team was a little dazed, and with 21 seconds left in the game, Li You in the bottom corner of the left side reminded his teammates loudly:

"Hold this round!"

Ewing also hurriedly called everyone to complete the defensive alignment at this time, and Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines was so anxious that he kept stomping his feet.

Alan Houston watched Michael Jordan in front of him put the ball with his right hand and lowered his center of gravity, rubbing at the top of the arc, and his scalp was numb for a while.

"Oh!!"

The Bulls fans who survived were so excited that they screamed wildly, and everyone stood up and watched Michael Jordan's final attack.

The Bulls almost all sank to the bottom, with only Pippen remaining on the wing near the left touchline.

Larry Johnson didn't dare to come forward at all, and Pippen ate dumplings tonight

On the NBC commentary bench, Bob Costas watched Michael Jordan continue to consume time, and also followed the countdown, and his tone became more and more excited:

"5 seconds, 4 seconds.!

"Mai Buckle ——!"

In the last 3 seconds, at the top of the arc, Michael Jordan suddenly started, raised the center of gravity of his body, and then dribbled vigorously with his right hand, feigning to break through.

Before Alan Houston could react, Michael Jordan rose to the top of the arc and made a quick jump shot from beyond the three-point line!

The United Center arena was extremely quiet in an instant, and the Bulls fans on the scene saw the moment the basketball drew a graceful arc and fell into the basket, and it was completely fried!

"Ahh

The frantic shouts almost broke through the roof of the United Center Arena, and on the commentary seat, the three of them shouted excitedly at the same time:

"He did it! He did it! ”

"Mai Buckle - Jiao Dan! Incredible!! ”

At 78:79, Michael Jordan used his unconventional weapon to deliver the fatal blow.

Alan Houston was dumbfounded, watching Michael Jordan roar loudly, throw punches passionately, and pound Pippen into his chest in celebration.

Jeff Van Gundy immediately called a timeout, and the referee immediately came to the technical table to start the replay to confirm the time of the game.

Everyone on the Bulls pounced on McDunk, who was walking to the bench, and began to celebrate wildly.

Phil Jackson also smiled and hugged his "thigh" excitedly.

Painful memories came flooding back into his mind, Ewing's eyes straightened, Oakley was silent, and Starks was looking straight at the Bulls bench.

Li You had been paying attention to the remaining time, and noticed that the bald young marshal was also confused at this time, so he simply took the tactical board, greeted his teammates loudly, and said with a calm expression:

"Sideline ball tactics, I need two screens, Pat left near baseline, Allan, left wing, fake screens are fine, Larry, remember to give me the ball out!"

Everyone on the Knicks subconsciously nodded, Jeff Van Gundy didn't speak, Li You clapped his hands again and said confidently:

"0.9 seconds, that's enough time for me to make a shot!"

Maybe there was too little time left, the Bulls fans were still celebrating, many front-row spectators were hugging each other, and the Bulls fans who had bought back-row tickets were already jumping up and cheering

Although it was only a blink of an eye, the Bulls players who returned to the court were careless, and everyone hugged one by one and stuck to the defense.

"Oh!!"

Bulls fans at the scene also started making noise, trying to interfere with Larry Johnson's sideline serve.

Directly below the basket, Lee Youzheng and Harper pulled, left wing, Alan Houston was also hidden by Michael Jordan.

Ewing and Oakley were also huddled under the basket, and as the referee blew the whistle to hand the ball to Larry Johnson, Lee pushed Harper away and passed between Ewing and Oakley near the baseline on the left side.

Alan Houston, meanwhile, made a quick run to the right wing and feigned to catch the ball, with the two starting almost at the same time.

After Li You briefly broke away from the defense and approached the three-point line on the left wing, Michael Jordan of Alan Houston, who was chasing the defense, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and gave up the pursuit at the first time and turned a small corner to defend Li You.

It's just that Mai Buckle didn't expect Li You to run to the right wing away from the three-point line, and the chase was suddenly a beat slower.

In the blink of an eye, Larry Johnson served out, and Lee Yoo came to two steps beyond the three-point line on the right wing, where Michael Jordan struggled to save.

The moment he received the ball, Li You turned around and threw the basketball to the basket!

The basketball flew past Michael Jordan's left fingertip and flew in an arc towards the basket.

While it was still in the air, the final hum had already sounded, the timer was red light, and the Bulls fans at the scene were still cheering loudly!

In the blink of an eye, the basketball fell straight into the hoop, and the United Center arena instantly turned into a library, silent and silent.

Li You, who completed the goal, was expressionless, pounded his chest angrily, and then nodded his right wrist with his left hand, and shouted at the Bulls bench:

“It's my time！”

The moment of "wearing the watch" was quickly interrupted, and Larry Johnson rushed to the front like crazy, hugging Li You is unconscious excitement and shouting:

"Ahh

“God！！ God！ Unbelievable！ ”

“Good night！ Chicago City！ ”

On the NBC commentary bench, Bob Costas orgasmed on the spot, screaming frantically, and the three of them seemed to feel that it was not enough, and the cries of "God" kept ringing.

Michael Jordan seemed a little incredulous, staring wide-eyed at Lee Yoo who was pressed under him by everyone on the Knicks

Jeff Van Gundy also didn't care about his appearance, hugged the coaching staff on the bench, and kept shouting while swinging his fist:

"God! We won! Lee has killed his opponent! ”

“.”

There was no boos, no yelling, and in the United Center arena, the Bulls fans at the scene just watched in silence as Michael Jordan walked to the bench with his lips pursed.

It wasn't until Michael Jordan stepped into the tunnel that the noise rang out again.

At 81:79, the score on the scoreboard once again reminded the Bulls fans in attendance that they had lost.

The series score came to 3:1, and the Knicks successfully got the match point!

Li You was almost pressed on his back, and was pulled up by his teammates, walked to the players' tunnel, and waved his fists again to celebrate!

"Shhhhh

The Bulls fans who hadn't left the court began to boo impotently, watching the Knicks jump and run into the players' tunnel, and they were so angry that they spat fragrantly.

On the NBC commentary booth at the scene, the three of them also calmed down, and Bob Costas was still a little excited, and said loudly:

"Incredible performance! Lee showed his attributes of a big heart! ”

"34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 turnovers, perfect performance! Unbelievable, I just want to watch the replay of the last attack now! ”

Playing 44 minutes, 10-of-22, 7-of-13 from beyond the three-point line, and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, Li You's efficiency has rebounded compared to G3.

Doug Collins has already turned into a melon-eating crowd at this time, and sighed with a smile:

"In the history of the NBA, there have only been 5 times in the history of the NBA when you have fallen behind 3-1 in the playoffs and ended up winning the game!"

"Although Michael Jordan has repeatedly pulled off miracles, I am not optimistic that they will be able to turn around against the wind this year."

"Back at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks aren't going to give the Bulls any chance!"

Michael Jordan played 44 minutes, 12-of-27 from the field, 10-of-14 from the free-throw line, and finished with 34 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers;

Scottie Pippen played 46 minutes and finished with 28 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and one turnover on 9-of-18 shooting, 5-of-10 from beyond the three-point line and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line.

Seeing the data of the Bulls Duo, Jim Gray in the commentary box exclaimed again:

"Mike and Pippen played really well, and the Knicks won this one, it's incredible."

Doug Collins didn't respond with a smile this time.

5-of-15, the Bulls' role players didn't make any three-pointers, all of them were iron, 27-of-39 free throws, and also enjoyed the home whistle.

In both of these situations, Doug Collins ended up simply poisoning the Knicks:

"I have a hunch that the Knicks will win the championship this year!"

“.”

At the press conference after the game, the major sports media were eager to put the microphone into the mouth of the button, and the questions were one after another:

"Mai Buckle! Losing the series, are you going to retire right now? ”

"If you can't renew your contract with the Bulls, where are you going to go?"

"If the Bulls had rebuilt at the beginning of the season, wouldn't they have lost?"

"Maikou, what do you think of General Manager Klaus, maybe he is right!"

Dressed in a wide suit, Michael Jordan still has a band-aid on both corners of his eyes, and he still looks as usual after the loss, and as long as the series is not over, he still believes that he can turn the tables:

"I don't want to answer questions that aren't related to the game, you know, the series isn't over yet."

"It's only been five times in history to win a series from 3-1."

Before the reporters in the audience finished speaking, Michael Jordan said confidently:

"The historical record has nothing to do with me, I'm just focused on the next races, we will win G5 and bring the games back to Chicago!"

“.”

Except for the Chicago sports media who may also believe Michael Jordan, everyone else feels that McButton is making a fool of themselves.

When Li You came to the press conference hall again, many New York media began to applaud loudly, and their excitement was overflowing.

The TNT reporter noticed the details, and as soon as Li You sat down, he immediately asked a question:

"Lee, we noticed that you seem to have drawn a tactic for yourself before completing the lore?"

Holding the microphone, Li You replied with a smile:

"Coach Van Gundy had already prepared the tactics, and I just happened to pick up the tactics board."

"The coaching staff was prepared for this situation, after all, we had a long break and had enough time to refine the game plan."

The New York Post reporter didn't care about these details, and came up and asked aloud:

"How does it feel to beat the Bulls? Lee, you're our hero tonight! ”

Li You pretended to raise his head, pretending to be a memory, and finally said with a smile:

"It doesn't seem to be any different from last year, but I won't lose again this time!"

"In the playoffs, I won't lose to the same opponent twice!"

"Of course, the series isn't over yet, back at Madison Square Garden, we need the support of the New York fans too!"

The New York media laughed loudly, the melon-eating crowd followed suit, and several reporters from the Chicago Tribune looked extremely ugly.

After the end of the game that night, Li You's 0.9-second counter-lore made the major media collectively climax, the series is not over yet, and the melon-eating crowd can't wait to give Michael Jordan a meeting.

The "Slaughter Joe Conference" is already in the works, and as soon as the Bulls are eliminated from the tournament, endless taunts will sweep in.

The Knicks flew back to New York overnight, and Ewing was already very excited when he got off the plane:

"If we make it to the Finals and face the Jazz, we have a good chance of winning the championship."

"Carl Malone, a free-throw softie, can't stop us from winning the championship at all!"

"Fack! It's the best time for us to win the title! ”

Oakley also felt that the championship was calling him, and the old guy followed suit:

"Knock out the Bulls, and when they break up next year, we even have a chance to win another championship."

"Without that bastard, we're going to get everything back that belongs to us."

The atmosphere group also shouted with Wow Wow, constantly blowing X, Li You's mobile phone rang non-stop, and simply turned it off, seeing that everyone was still discussing the game, he immediately reminded:

"Get a good night's sleep, we'll end the series the day after tomorrow, and I don't want to go back to Chicago."

Hearing Li You's words, the atmosphere group immediately became a wave of sycophants:

"Lee is right, we have to win at home!"

"Michael Jordan is out of gas, the future is ours!"

“.”

On May 26, Li You once again appeared on the paper media education section in New York:

“It's my time！”

Most of the photos are used in Li You's "watch-wearing" moment, and some media use photos of Li You's quick shot, Michael Jordan jumping up the block, and basketball in the frame.

Once again, Michael Jordan became the backdrop for Lee Yo.

The series isn't over yet, but the big media have taken on a positive tone, believing that the Bulls have been eliminated from the tournament.

More and more commentators are starting to take the blame, and Krauss, the general manager of the Bulls, is the biggest winner.

Although no one has interviewed him yet, as long as the Bulls lose, Kraus is bound to pop out with a big mouth Michael Jordan

As long as the thought of such a situation makes Fun fans want the Bulls to lose G5 immediately.

At this time, the big multimedia was not in full swing, and Michael Jordan was not much ridiculed.

The three-pointer before the end almost saved the Bulls, and Phil Jackson was not criticized, but Phil Jackson was sprayed badly.

"Phil Jackson is out of gas, and his good luck has run out."

"Where did Phil Jackson's timeout go?"

"Is there a strategy in the Bulls? It's all star singles! ”

“.”

When Li You, who returned to the apartment, saw ESPN's ball critic stomping on Phil Jackson on the TV, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

The championship coach still has something, and the Bulls almost won.

Ray Allen flew to New York on purpose, and came here early in the morning and kept talking:

"It's unbelievable that Mai Buckle is going to lose!"

This is the fifth time Li You has heard his friend sigh, and he pouted and responded:

"He's old, you don't think he's still in '96!"

"The regular season was average, and the stats often reflect the state of the players."

"The reason why I don't feel it is that maybe he slipped from superstar to all-star level."

Li You said it easily, but in his heart he was complaining about the Bulls' 1 point of rain.

Falling into a down-to-tempo and frequently falling into positional offense, Phil Jackson found his weakness, and coupled with Ewing's reduced finishing efficiency, the Bulls' one-point rain almost knocked the Knicks out

Thinking of Mai Buckle's performance after entering the playoffs, Ray Allen reluctantly admitted:

"Maybe you're right, McDunk is really old, but I still think that with the addition of reliable shooters, the Bulls can complete the triple championship again."

The brain-dead fan is not saved, Li You feels that his friend is poisoned, everyone is human, and Mai Buckle just can't do it:

"I have prepared a front-row ticket for you, and you will be able to see the idol eliminated and lonely tomorrow night!"

"I promise it's a rare scene, don't forget to take a picture of me, I'll keep it as a souvenir!"

Li You's bad taste suddenly made Ray Allen speechless, but when he thought that the series was really coming to an end, he could only mutter:

"I'd love to see Mycu complete a triple crown."

Killing the Bulls again, Li You's popularity exploded, and the hook staff couldn't get through to Li You's phone and found Mark Battlestein.

After booking a bunch of offseason activities, Mark Battlestein was completely comfortable, flew to New York at noon, and when he saw Li You, he swelled and said:

"The Knicks have to prepare a big contract! Super Contract! Otherwise we'll get out of here! ”

"I swear, even Chicago will throw an olive branch to us!"

Thinking that he would be able to get a big contract after waiting for another season, Li You was also in a very good mood:

"How's Kevin Garnett's contract?"

Hearing Li You's words, Mark Battlestein pondered for a while, and finally spoke:

"Then it depends on what happens to the collective bargaining talks!"

"But I don't think it will have much impact on young players, considering your data and age, 126 million, it's really worth talking about!"

Li You suddenly felt comfortable, and even the nutritious meal in front of him became a lot sweeter and more delicious.

Although it is unclear what the collective bargaining talks will look like, Mark Battlestein reminds Lee You:

"Offering a big contract may cause some trouble for the team's reinforcements, but New York has money, and even if the old Charles is no longer in charge, they will not be stingy!"

Li You doesn't care about the team's reinforcement or anything, he is not the boss, nor is the team manager, and a big contract is his pursuit:

"That's not something I should think about, I just want to make money!"

“.”

Preparing to go to the training hall, Li You just drove out when he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

After satisfying the need for an autographed photo, Lee Woo suddenly felt that it was time for him to change to a new home in the offseason.

In the training session, everyone in the Knicks team was full of energy, and they didn't seem to feel tired at all, and they were more active than ever in running tactical routines.

Ewing, Oakley, and Starks were already smiling, and Alan Houston and Larry Johnson were also looking relaxed.

The game finally entered the big tailwind game, and Li You, who was doing shooting training, nodded secretly:

"Downwind game, it's time for a breakout!"

“.”

The Bulls who flew to New York were surrounded by major media outlets as soon as they got off the plane, and everyone wanted to see Michael Jordan's depressed appearance, but Phil Jackson refused to be interviewed.

On May 27th, the G5 competition will officially start that night.

Phil Jackson, who was interviewed before the game, was still confident, but at this time no one believed that the Bulls could complete the counterattack.

At Madison Square Garden, New York fans who like to watch and have fun have already exploded, entering the arena early and squirming along to the music.

In the pre-game locker room, Li You was surrounded by a large number of sports media on the inside and outside of the three floors in front of him:

"Lee, will the Knicks make the cut tonight?"

"Today, of course! I don't want to play in Chicago anymore, the fans don't welcome me! ”

Li You confidently answered the question, and the media in front of him also followed the joy when they heard the answer they wanted, and soon everyone began to blow to each other, and by the way, they loaned the Knicks a championship.

On the other side, although Ewing has lemons in his heart, as long as he thinks of the championship, the gorilla feels that it is acceptable to be a pie forward for the time being.

After all, among the four centers, only Olajuwon has won a championship, and David Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal have no rings!

Jeff Van Gundy has been happy for the past two days, and he didn't make too much arrangement before the game, and continued to use the idle tactics, just briefly admonished the defense:

"Come back at home, keep our defensive toughness and don't let the opposition score easily."

“.”

As the away team players came on the stage, the DJ immediately booed when the DJ called out the name of Mai Buckle:

"Number 23, Mykko-Jodan"

Seeing Michael Jordan's serious expression, the happy New York fans kept sending boos and shouts:

"Shh

After the Knicks players appeared on the court one by one, when they heard Li You's name, the cheers continued one after another, and even before the game started, a special call was already sounded:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

In the MSG commentary seat, Walter Fraser couldn't stop blowing at this time:

"In this year's playoffs, Lee played a phenomenal performance."

"In my mind, he's the MVP of the season, and Lee stepped up every time the team needed him!"

Commentator Mike Brin kept nodding his head as he listened, but he didn't forget to introduce the Bulls' starters:

"Dennis Rodman replaced Longley tonight, and it looks like the Bulls are going to have to guard hard after the opening game."

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

Wait until the players from both sides stand in the center circle, and the cheers resound through the arena.

Everyone on the Bulls looked serious, and when they saw Ewing easily jump to the ball, they immediately quickly retreated.

Harper was still on guard with a pendant, and when Lee Woo got to the top of the arc, Alan Houston slipped quickly from left to right.

In the left blocking area, after receiving Li You's pass, he leaned back slightly after twisting around, and faced Michael Jordan's block, Alan Houston immediately jumped and shot!

"Huh!" Solid mid-range hits.

After completing the goal, Alan Houston punched confidently and looked very proud.

“Wow！”

The fans cheered loudly, seemingly sensing the Knicks' confidence, and Michael Jordan's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't want to see such a result at all.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

In the midst of the defensive cheers, Pippen received the ball and quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, came to the flank, and immediately gave the ball to the blocking position with his back to the ball.

The latter received the ball, put the ball with his left hand and quickly leaned on it, took advantage of Alan Houston to move backwards, quickly turned to the baseline, and then threw a backward jumper!

"Bang!" Hit a mid-range shot!

The rebound was easily accepted by Ewing, and Lee Woo immediately stepped forward to respond, and everyone on the Knicks began to accelerate towards the opposing half.

After a simple change of direction under the crotch, after switching to the left hand, Li You took advantage of the situation to wrap the ball behind his back, pounced again against Harper, and accelerated through the half.

At the top of the arc, Ewing blocked and dismantled high, the gorilla just moved, Rodman also followed, and Li You, who held the ball in his right hand, quickly went in and out, and then broke through on the right side.

Rodman immediately assisted in the defense quickly, coupled with Harper's pursuit, when the two were about to form a circle, Li You pulled the defense horizontally, and then flicked his right wrist to quickly send a ground pass.

The basketball flew past Rodman's left side, bounced off and fell into the hands of Ewing, who wanted to defend quickly, but saw Ewing throw the ball to the basket after receiving the ball.

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

"Wonderful fit! The Knicks found their offensive feel right from the start, and that's definitely a good thing for us. ”

Commentator Mike Brin saw the Knicks quickly get into the groove after the opening, and he smiled again for a while.

In the next few rounds, Pippen, who had a very good hand in the previous game, played an empty iron in the open field

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, saw that Mai Buckle was also following the iron, and he was completely out of emotion for a while.

Every time the Knicks hit an iron, they only need to protect the backcourt rebound to complete a transition offense.

This time the Bulls retreated, Pippen did not keep up with Larry Johnson in time, and Li You, who received the long rebound, did not dribble the ball and threw the ball directly to the opponent's half.

Sprinting into the paint, Larry Johnson scooped the ball with ease, and then took advantage of the situation to complete a two-handed dunk!

"Beautiful counterattack, Lee found Larry the first time, and many people underestimated his passing vision!"

Walter Fraser saw the Knicks go easy for a few rounds in a row, and for a while turned on the blow mode.

The two cores clattered, and finally the Bulls' Cookch stepped up and continued to catch the ball in the mid-range position and make jumpers to help the Bulls score points.

With 6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Lee Woo made a free throw, and Phil Jackson reluctantly called a timeout.

At 6:12, the Bulls' scores came from Cooke, and McDunk and Pippen were dumb at the same time.

In Madison Square Garden, the cheers of the New York fans who arrived at the stadium became louder and louder, and on the bench, the atmosphere group jumped and screamed.

Several people on the field were a little frustrated, and Pippen didn't say a word, turned his head and walked to the bench.

Li You walked to the bench, noticed that Mai Buckle was still standing outside the three-point line, and when he passed by, he whispered with a smile:

"Goodbye, Black Jesus!"
