On May 5, 1999, the regular season of the 98~99 season came to an end.

Due to a shortened season, the Knicks haven't been able to play against too many Western Conference teams this season.

Similarly, most teams in the West have not played against teams in the East.

In this case, the selection of MVP is a bit awkward.

Except for the direct dialogue between Li You and O'Neal, he has never fought with Carl Malone and Tim Duncan again.

In the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have locked the first place in the East in advance and suppressed the Heat.

Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Anfernee Hardaway, and Grant Hill played well, but they were not as discussed as Lee Yo.

On Excel, Li You's data is gradually encroaching on the ball!

However, there are losses and gains, and although the scoring has risen, the number of assists has been surpassed by the surface brother Jason Kidd

In many games, the Knicks' veterans were unmotivated, their form was up and down, and assists were converted into iron.

In addition to the MVP selection, at the end of the season, the players also began to work hard for major awards!

Kidd focused on assists, and in May, he didn't relax at all, and with the cooperation of everyone on the Suns, he almost double-doubled every game.

In early May, in the game between the Suns and the Grizzlies, Kidd did not relax when he was leading in the third quarter, and he scored 42 points and got 13 assists before resting.

At 77:107, the Suns beat the Grizzlies, and Kidd had another double-double

Seeing such a performance, the New York media ridiculed Kidd for swiping data!

Phoenix's media, although not influential enough, also responded:

"Kidd needs to stay on the pitch and control the tempo of the game!"

“.”

The competition for the scoring title this season is also becoming more and more fierce at this time, and Li You, Iverson, and O'Neal have scored almost the same.

The ownership of the scoring champion depends on who can score higher points in the last few games in May!

Although the three of them all want to win the award, they don't want to be labeled as a data brush.

In general, the data must rise, and face must not be lost.

In the game on the night of the 5th, Ewing and Oakley played a fake starter, and in the last game of the regular season, facing the Heat, the Knicks entered the rotation stage early

Rashad Lewis, who has barely played this season, also got his chance at this time.

Jeff Van Gundy made the game more tempo by adjusting the lineup, with the aim of allowing Lee to score more points.

Madison Square Garden, New York fans are still enthusiastically shouting, everyone has no opinion on such an adjustment, if it is not for the sake of face, at this time I can't wait to simply shout:

"Let him brush! Let him brush!."

With the rankings out of the way, Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning were all rested on the Heat's side in the final game.

The half-time game did not open up the difference, and in the third quarter, Li You was not polite.

In the first round after the opening of the second half, Woshan-Leonard hit the iron on the left wing outside the three-point line in the first round, and Li You just received a long rebound in the right elbow area of the free throw line, and then took the ball and rushed!

Accelerating along the left sideline, Lee Woo, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and the left wing approached the three-point line and immediately began to slow down.

Rex Waters, who was trying to defend hard, had a bitter face, and tonight's start was really embarrassing.

Seeing Li You slow down and quickly dribble under his left hand and shake his body to the right, Rex Waters subconsciously slid to the left again.

The opponent's feet just moved, Li You's feet quickly reversed the step, instantly shook out the space to shoot, closed the ball outside the three-point line, converted three points and quickly jumped to shoot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow net!

“Wow！”

At 48:53, the New York fans at the scene shouted happily, and every time Li You scored, it would cause everyone to cheer.

My friend Ai Wenyin lay on his stomach a lot, and he lay in the hospital for a few months last year.

After recuperating for half a year, he cut off his long hair, resumed his campus bully style, and sat in the front row tonight, Ai Wen applauded Li You vigorously, and at the same time he was not idle, reminding from time to time:

"Come on, keep shooting!"

In order to be able to lock the scoring champion, Li You's friends and some flew to Philadelphia to watch the game, always staring at Iverson's score, everyone SMS contact, and the highlight is a professional!

Iverson's followers can also be seen on the spot, and both sides have adopted the same strategy.

After the Lakers finished the regular season, the scoring title is currently a competition between the two.

Many New York fans are also following the game between the Pistons and the 76ers, and at this time, no one cares about the outcome of this game, everyone just wants to see Lee Woo overpowering the opponent.

Rashad Lewis faced PJ Brown with insufficient confrontation, and on the offensive end, most of them crouched in the bottom corners on both sides to open up space, and only Ben Wallace was left on the inside to eat cake and grab rebounds.

The Heat attacked, PJ Brown made a strong attack under the basket, turned around, stood firm, and saw Li You change direction before dribbling under the right wing crotch and adding the body, the center of gravity was low, and the cross-step broke through his teammates, and the right side was 45 degrees straight into the basket.

The defensive end hesitated slightly, PJ Brown didn't have time to retract, the moment Li You approached the paint area, he immediately turned around, hung the defense to the paint area, switched to the left hand, and quickly picked up the basket!

There were cheers in his ears, Rex Waters spread his hands in frustration, his body was crushed, and Li You didn't even bother to do too much shaking, and he crushed the breakthrough when he stuck his position.

Lee You, who retreated, smiled and high-fived Ben Wallace in celebration.

In the attack just now, "Little Ben" stuck the opponent's center Duane Coswell, which made his attack frame easy.

As the game progressed, the cheers grew louder at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks attacked again, and Lee Woo used Ben Wallace and Rashard Lewis to get rid of the defense on the right wing and throw it after double covering outside the three-point line at the top of the arc!

"Lee seized the opportunity in a flash, what a beautiful three-pointer!"

Commentator Mike Brin couldn't help but exclaim, but Walt Fraser on the side noticed the Knicks' lineup at this time:

"With Sprewell, Alan Houston and Lee on the floor at the same time, the trio can also play some combination on the offensive end!"

"Rookie Rashad Lewis also had some bright performances in this game."

"His shooting is not consistent enough, and he has some problems with protecting the basket, but there aren't many big men who can shoot three-pointers, which really enriches our play!"

The defensive end suffered a little, but the Knicks were able to shoot from the outside at this time, and Sprewell, although he had some nerve knives, could also be used as a tactical initiation point.

Pat Riley, who was sitting on the bench, still looked calm, and the Heat would still finish second in the East if they lost this game.

There is no low-post back-to-back attack, three-point holding the ball, breaking through the face frame, plus a few free throws, Li You's scoring speed is extremely fast!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks took a 10-point lead, and seeing that Li You was still there, Iverson's attendants on the scene also cursed:

"Shet! This data brush!."

Sprewell was not polite, and in the 4th quarter, he even made a sudden penalty, and in addition to passing the ball to Li You, he did not forget to score himself.

"Madman" played as a substitute for a season, feeling aggrieved, but at the end of the season, he also wanted to pursue honor, after all, winning awards is always a good thing.

With 4 minutes and 02 seconds left in the game, Li You stood on the free throw line, and the New York fans at the scene shouted loudly:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Lee Yoo-ga hit a solid shot, cheers resumed, Pat Riley simply called a timeout, and Ming Jin called a halt.

Fans who bought tickets to watch the game felt that this game was not a loss, and Li You let go of the pick tonight, which made everyone feel good.

Commentator Mike Brin glanced at the technical stats and introduced in a brisk tone:

"Played 40 minutes, 46 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, and Lee set a new career high tonight!"

Walter Fraser paid more attention to Li You's efficiency, and after reading the technical statistics, he immediately followed with a smile and said:

"Maybe there have been some minor problems with three-point shooting this season, but overall, Lee's finishing ability has really improved a lot."

"We can expect Lee to do well in the playoffs!"

15-of-28, 8-of-16 from beyond the three-point line, and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, facing the Heat team that chose to rotate, Lee Woo hit hard!

Friend Ai Wen, who was sitting in the front row, stood up at this time, smiled and clapped his hands, and gave Li You, who was on the field, a thumbs up, indicating that he was stable!

Jeff Van Gundy also stepped forward to pat Li You, and the bald young marshal was very satisfied.

Pressing Pat Riley again, what awaits him after the game is fancy touting in the New York media.

The final minutes of the game were quickly over, and with the cheers of the New York fans, the Knicks easily defeated the Heat at 96:110 to end the final regular season game of the season.

Alan Houston and Larry Johnson waved to the fans at the end of the game.

Ewing was a little unhappy in his heart, he had too little time to play tonight, but on the surface, the big star was still smiling, showing his leadership style:

"Well done, Lee! It's been a perfect season! ”

With 39 wins and 11 losses, the Knicks retained the first place in the league with a super high win rate.

Li You nodded with a smile, and also followed the Knicks to express his gratitude to the fans at the scene.

At the press conference after the game, the media in Philadelphia followed the yin and yang again, looked at Li You who was smiling on the stage, and asked unceremoniously:

"Lee, at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were already leading by 13 points, why were you still on the floor at the beginning of the fourth quarter?"

Many New York media at the scene glared at each other, but Li You didn't care about the other party's question, and responded casually:

"You know, basketball is round, anything is possible!"

"I just wanted to finish the game as soon as possible, the Heat are very strong and they have 33 wins this season."

"I don't want to give them any chance against such an opponent!"

The New York reporters on the scene didn't give much of a chance to the Philadelphia media, and soon everyone started to blow each other in business.

At 100:105, the 76ers managed to defeat the Pistons.

Iverson played 43 minutes, shooting 11-of-28, 2-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, and finished with 33 points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals and one turnover.

As soon as the game ended, Iverson got the news from his follower, cursed in his heart, and barely pulled out a smile at the press conference.

Larry Brown is in a good mood, 27-23, and in his second season in charge, the 76ers have successfully reached the playoffs!

The master and apprentice blew each other on stage, and the Philadelphia media in the audience also knew that Iverson had lost the scoring title, and their mood was a little unbeautiful.

TNT's reporter didn't care about this, interrupted the business exchange, and asked succinctly:

"Allen, this is the first time you've made the playoffs in your career, and what do you think you're going to do against the defending champions?"

As if recalling the experience of these two seasons, Iverson completely lost his smile and said with a serious expression:

"I don't care who the opponent is, I'm ready, the playoffs are different from the regular season, and I'm a big player, and I'm sure the 76ers will win in the end!"

The ESPN reporter noticed Iverson's mood change on the stage, and continued to follow the arch fire to ask:

"How would you rate Lee's performance this season? At the moment, he is still ranked first in the MVP rankings! ”

This season, the two teams have played each other many times, and Iverson has not won again, and he is angry, so he can only answer dryly:

"The Knicks are really strong, but anything is possible in basketball!"

“.”

At the end of the regular season, the Knicks have two days to recuperate, and then the first round of the playoffs will officially begin.

For two days, Li You chose to stay in his apartment in Manhattan, and when he returned home in the evening, he saw the TNT report and noticed that the Spurs won the first place in the West:

"In the second year of his career, leading the team to the first place in the West, Tim Duncan has become a superstar!"

"It's hard to imagine what he's going to achieve in the future."

With 37 wins and 13 losses, the Spurs and Jazz have the same record, and finally succeeded in overpowering their opponents by virtue of the win-loss relationship.

Li You watched McHale brag about Duncan again in the show, pouted boringly, leaned back on the sofa, and exhaled the talent panel.

Winning the Atlantic Division Championship again, I immediately received a hint when my mind moved:
