On May 7, 2000, the day after the Knicks and the 76ers ended, the melon-eating crowd did not pay attention to the outcome of the game, but the news revealed by Ewing.

The regular season record has said it all, the 76ers didn't win a game, and this group of matchup critics didn't bother to comment too much.

Nothing happened in the regular season, and it was basically a pipe dream to expect a sudden performance in the playoffs.

The stats can sometimes be deceiving, with Iverson pulling his hips in the first half and punching hard in the second.

Fans who didn't watch the game and watched Excel might have thought the short shooting guard did well, but some commentators who watched the game finally gave Iverson the following assessment:

"Inefficient data brushes!"

Lee Yoo was called a data brush by the Los Angeles media, but he never had the reputation of being inefficient, Iverson's evaluation was at the lowest point, and he couldn't win the game with the data, and even the fans in Philadelphia had a lot less patience.

The melon-eating masses are more interested in the "retirement tour" revealed by Ewing.

NBA 50 Superstar, 2-time champion, 11-time All-Star, 8-time All-NBA selection, 4-time All-Defensive Team selection, and 6-time Player of the Month award.

Ewing career honor is not hard enough, but fortunately, there is still "one person, one city".

Agent David Falck also briefly introduced in an interview:

"Pat's career has been very inspiring, with highs and lows, and ultimately staying in New York and succeeding."

"Like Mai Buckle, they're great stars, and while he can keep playing physically, it's time to leave the league and Pat needs to start the next phase of his life."

“.”

On the morning of the 7th, O'Neal's enthusiasm for winning the MVP was sucked away by the gorillas.

Retirement tours are still a rarity, and David Falke clearly wants Ewing to play another season and make a splash of money.

Old fans will buy it, although the era of the 4 big centers is ruled by Mai Buckle, but after all, it is everyone's youth, thick and thin, the routine operation of old fans.

Just as to this day, there are still many old-school fans who don't like Lee's offensive options, times are evolving, but some people's memories of the NBA are forever stuck in the early '90s.

When Li You heard the news last night, he almost thought that the gorilla was talking in his sleep, until David Falck also made a statement, and he realized that the other party was playing for real.

On the morning of the 7th, in the villa in Tarrytown Town, only the husky Happy accompanied Li You.

Milinda was preparing to graduate, and Jin was still busy with his lawyer's license, and only the husky who had successfully lost weight looked at Li You's breakfast and drooled, lying at his feet, revealing a "wise" look

The phone at the dinner table is on hands-free, and the agent Mark Battlestein is still complaining about the gorilla's tour:

"That sucks! I don't think Ewing can be that attractive. ”

"Maybe the New York fans will pay for him, but as long as they get to other cities, who cares about this outdated star."

"Touring also requires data and great performances, and whether or not we can stay healthy is unknown at the moment!"

Hearing these complaints, Li You looked strange, and while having breakfast, he responded casually:

"Health and stats don't matter, the Knicks are still making a documentary, and MSG is going to record the whole season."

"Injuries are also part of the game, and when the time comes, there will be a 'hero' back, and the fans will love to see it. ”

Mark Battlestein seemed a little speechless on the phone, and paused for a moment before asking:

"What's the name of the documentary at the moment? The one you made before was really good. ”

Li You had almost eaten, and at this time he was smiling and touching the dog's head, and replied casually again:

“The Last Dance！”

“.”

On the night of the 7th, the fans in Los Angeles were boiling, and at the Staples Center, O'Neal smiled and took the MVP from David Stern and held it high.

The cheers of the "MVP" couldn't stop, even if the first round was stumbling, but seeing O'Neal accept the award, the fans automatically ignored the process.

said that he didn't care, but his body was unusually honest, and O'Neal revealed joy from the inside out, even if it wasn't the so-called "unanimous MVP" shark.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, although the Suns eliminated the Spurs, but in the face of O'Neal, who was in good shape, they were completely blown up by the other party.

At 77:105, the Lakers managed to win the game.

O'Neal went big in front of old teammate Anfernee Hardaway.

Played 40 minutes, 15-of-28, 7-of-10 free throws, and recorded 37 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 4 blocks and 2 turnovers.

Although Hardaway was 9-of-18 and scored 25 points efficiently, the Suns pulled their hips in all directions, shooting 36.4% from the field and 3-of-18 from three-point range

On the night of his career milestone, O'Neill went home with the trophy in peace.

In the other two games of the night, the Pacers and Trail Blazers won each other.

The Heat and Jazz are constipated offensively, and it's useless if they can't shoot iron-blooded basketball.

On Monday night, May 8, it was still officially kicked off at 19:30, and there was only one game between the 76ers and the Knicks that night.

Before the game, Iverson was annoyed by the op-eds in the New York media in the past two days.

Young players are very unexpected, and the title of "inefficient brush" is really not good.

In the last game, the 76ers took the initiative to speed up the offensive tempo and fell into a positional battle, and the defense was full of traps and big delays for Li You.

Larry Brown also tried to play a pressing defense, relying on faster defensive rotation to defend and wait for offense.

The result of executing such a defensive strategy was that the Knicks blossomed more and the game was played early.

When the night's game began, the 76ers reverted to their best defensive strategy.

Full-court pressing defence, increasing pressure on the ball while allowing Iverson to make some tackles on cross-passes.

The game reverted to the so-called defensive battle, with Larry Brown hoping to limit the Knicks' offense by slowing down the tempo and then relying on Iverson's counterattack to allow the 76ers to score.

With the last 4 minutes and 16 seconds left in the half, the New York fans at the scene were enthusiastic and continued to shout loudly along with the DJ:

“Let's go Knicks！.”

Iverson hit one of two free throws, and the 76ers retreated quickly, and after Lee Woo advanced the ball with his left hand across the halfcourt, the opponent had already completed the defensive position.

For most of the rounds tonight, the 76ers gave up frontcourt rebounds in order to limit the Knicks' transition offense.

At this time, Aaron McGee, a guard with more shooting ability, was partnering Iverson in the backcourt.

Returning to the No. 1 position, Iverson led the defense of Li You throughout the game.

When the crushing pushed to the left flank, Li You did not stop the ball, but threw the ball to Ewing, who had just mentioned the left elbow area.

After completing the pass, Li You first shook horizontally, and then suddenly cut to the left, Iverson's defense just misjudged the error, and Ewing, who received the ball, sent a hand-to-hand pass.

The time from receiving the ball to passing the ball was extremely short, and Li You was already up to speed at this time, and Iverson didn't have time to remind his teammates, so he quickly squeezed through the cover and continued to chase on Li You's side.

Before Ratliff could react behind Ewing, Lee Woo had already hung Iverson's defense close to the bottom left of the basket.

Approaching the basket and jumping quickly, Lee You and Iverson immediately had a physical confrontation.

Under the huge impact, Iverson was directly bounced away, and Li You cut into the basket and picked up the basket with his left hand!

At 35:50, watching Iverson lead the defense, Li You slammed the basket and scored consecutive points, and Larry Brown on the sidelines hugged his arms without saying a word.

Calling two timeouts didn't change the 76ers' scoring drought, and on the bench, the atmosphere group had lost their mood and looked at the situation on the court in a daze.

Iverson, who smashed the basketball angrily, found that he had no way, he needed to defend without the ball, and once he was shaken, he was stuck in position, and he could only give away points except for fouls.

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson found Ewing crouching under the basket when he returned to the court, and the Knicks relied on guards to chase after them from mid-range.

Also a high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Latrief's cover quality was good, allowing Iverson, who dribbled behind his back to his left hand, to successfully hit the paint area.

Straight in front of the basket, Iverson made a quick stop, then drifted to the left back to complete a jumper.

Li You, who chased up from behind, just struggled to make a block interference, and Iverson's jumper was still iron

In the first quarter of the game, the shooting was very good, but in the second quarter it was sluggish again, and seeing the basketball being caught by Oakley, Iverson hurriedly retreated.

Retreating to the half-court to establish a defensive position on the half-line, Iverson gave himself a high-five, and by the way, he also called on his teammates to pay attention to the defensive alignment.

Still didn't choose to move quickly, and the Knicks didn't have much of a fast break tonight.

After crossing the halfway line and being defended again, Lee Woo immediately gave the ball to Alan Houston on the right flank.

When Li You suddenly cut in and asked for the ball with his back in the right elbow area, Artest in the right bottom corner quickly slipped past the baseline and ran to the left bottom corner before stopping.

Alan Houston also moved sideways to the top of the arc after sending the pass, and Oakley stood in the left elbow area ready to rush to the basket to grab the rebound.

The Knicks cleared one side, noticing the situation, Iverson lowered his center of gravity and desperately squeezed on Lee Yo.

When Li You received the ball and turned to attack with the frame, Iverson was already almost in his arms.

Li You raised the ball high at this time, let the opponent arch to his body, and then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, quickly swept the ball from left to right, and immediately crossed steps to break through in the direction of the baseline while putting the ball with his right hand.

The two were entangled and came to the right near the bottom line, Li You immediately stopped at this time, exerted force under his feet, drifted in the direction of the bottom line, twisted in the air after jumping, and jumped back after completing the situation!

In the air, Li You always maintained his center of gravity, and Iverson, who was trying to block, hung on Li You's left foot, and the basketball flew to the basket at the same time, and the referee also blew the whistle:

"Squeak! Swish! ”

The whistle blew the ball in, the two-pointer hollowed into the net, and on the Knicks bench, Lewis stood up and cheered loudly.

As soon as he landed, Iverson knew that the ball must have gone in, and the cheers seemed to burst through the arena, and the New York fans were able to take it alone.

Lee Woo looked relaxed, the more aggressive the little player posted, the better it was for him, a relaxed smile on his face, and Spike Lee who was shouting excitedly on the sidelines in celebration, before slowly walking to the free throw line.

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

In the second quarter, there were a lot of one-on-one games, and the New York fans at the scene were comfortable watching, and the MVP shouts were getting louder and louder.

The penalty hit steadily, looking at Li You's quick retreat, several people on the field of the 76 team stopped talking.

"It's rare to see Lee choose such an attack, and he's more efficient against a relatively short defender!"

On the TNT commentary bench, Mav Albert was deeply emotional, with a quick stop and a backward jump shot, and some forward foot movements, which were basically the same as the dunks.

Considering that both are trainers with Tim Grover, that didn't come as a surprise.

Hubby Brown felt that Lee was extremely aggressive in the minutes after his re-entry.

Seeing Iverson break through the middle, in the bottom right corner, Aaron McGee scored two points and hit the iron again, and Hubby Brown could only make a simple comment:

"The 76ers need to find their shooting touch as soon as possible!"

The Knicks shrunk smaller and smaller, and Alan Houston's defense was just a symbolic interference, and then he went back to protect the rebound.

It was also a positional attack, Li You blocked and dismantled high in the arc, and noticed that Ratliff on the opposite side was not up or down in the defensive position, and Li You began to slow down after squeezing from Ewing's left side.

Taking advantage of Ewing's progress, Li You suddenly increased his stride, pretended to twist and accelerate, and lowered the center of gravity of the ball in his left hand, which immediately attracted two defenders.

Iverson chased after him, and Latrive slid down to the basket, only to leave a little space for Lee You, and traveled to the left block, where a hidden left-handed land-hitting pass found Ewing down the line.

When Ratliff wanted to turn around and return to defense, he found that it was too late, and once again watched the gorilla grab the ball with his right hand and split the dunk with one hand!

At 35:55, the score difference came to 20 points, Ewing excitedly raised his hands high, and Madison Square Garden was completely boiling:

“Wow！”

With less than 2 minutes left, Alan Houston and Oakley on the Knicks' side hit the iron, and the 76ers had to make free throws inside, which was considered to save some face.

At 39:55, at halftime, the difference was narrowed a little, but the New York fans at the scene were not affected, and the fans in the back row had already stood up and began to cheer along to the music.

He was 4-of-7 in the first quarter, 0-of-4 in the second, 4-of-11 in the half, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 12 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 3 turnovers.

Looking at the -19 in technical statistics, Mav-Albert said vaguely:

"Iverson needs to adjust his offensive form as soon as possible, and the 76ers need his scoring."

Hubby Brown was not polite, and directly pointed out the 76ers' tactical problems:

"The offense was too slow, and in the second quarter, Coach Larry Brown should probably replace Aaron McGee sooner rather than later to get Iverson back at the No. 2 position."

"In the face of Lee's defense, Iverson struggled and had too many physical confrontations to completely lose him."

Lee Woo was 6-of-11 in the half, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free throw line, and finished with 18 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 turnover.

It seemed that he was used to this kind of performance, and Mav Albert didn't praise it too much, and the two analyzed the 76ers' shortcomings in the commentary booth.

After the start of the second half, Alan Houston regained his touch, shooting consecutive free throws and slashing points.

Cook, who replaced Larry Johnson, also responded from beyond the three-point line.

Iverson, who hit all the jumpers, began to attack the basket again, but he was able to defend the line, but Ewing, who was squatting in the pit under the basket, could still give interference.

After the iron was struck, Iverson's breakaway shot sent Teylon Hill on a back-to-back bite.

The game was lively, time passed quickly, and everyone in the 76ers felt that every score felt extremely difficult.

Iverson, who had just made a layup and fell to the floor, hurriedly got up and stepped back, returned to the right wing, and turned his head to see that Eric Snow couldn't squeeze past the high block in time.

In a hurry, Iverson hurriedly called out Ratliff's name:

"Theo!"

Latliff, who was still standing inside the three-point line, didn't react at all, Li You was already making a sudden stop at the top of the arc, and he quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

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

At 53:79, there were 4:08 left in the third quarter, and the margin came to 26 points.

hit a three-pointer, and Li You just raised his right arm, and his fingers were simply more than a gun in celebration.

"Oh!"

Perhaps the sound of the reminder drowned out the cheers of the fans, and Latliff raised his hand in frustration to indicate that it was his problem, and did not look at the angry Iverson again.

Lee You, who threw in a three-pointer, began to drill under the basket and played a simple and rough breakaway shot, and the veteran Teylon Hill, who frequently assists in defense, failed to resist and received his fifth foul.

Larry Brown on the sidelines still didn't ask for a timeout, crossed his arms, and was silent, as if he had broken the jar, and let the game time continue to slip through in the third quarter.

At 62:84, the third quarter ended, and the game went into garbage time.

With 5 assists in a single quarter, Mav Albert looked at Li You's technical statistics and couldn't help but quip:

"A few more minutes of play, and Lee should be able to get a big two-double."

Hubby Brown shook his head with a smile, and didn't joke about Iverson garbage time anymore, but said seriously:

"Coach Larry Brown needs to make a decision, Iverson is not Lee, and maybe further unleashing his offensive ability is the right choice."

Eric Snow's playing time was cut by half, and Iverson seemed to be back in the No. 1 position, but it didn't work very well, and the game was out of suspense early.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Iverson was still on the court, and the Knicks had changed to a rotation lineup.

The 76ers finally found some offensive rhythm and began to score points constantly, and Iverson showed no signs of letting up and still tried to defend.

In Madison Square Garden, the live music has changed, there is no "Defense", and there are more playful sound effects

Eventually, to the cheers of the New York fans, the game time ran out.

At 92:108, the Knicks defeated the 76ers again, and the series score came to 2:0.

On the bench, Li You and his teammates stood up and applauded and greeted the fans, and the next two away games are coming, and according to the current trend, it is possible that they will not be able to return to New York.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't show much joy either, just smiled and walked to the tech desk to shake hands with Larry Brown.

"It's going to be a great series!"

“.”

Larry Brown only felt that the bald young marshal opposite was mocking him, and both games were three quarters of clock-in, where was the excitement?

On the commentary seat, Mav-Albert felt the joyful atmosphere of the scene, and at this time began to blow Li You again:

"Played 30 minutes, 25 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, and Lee dominated the game again tonight!"

"Unlike O'Neal, Lee can always make his teammates better, and the two win in different ways."

9-of-16, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, Lee Woo fished in the third quarter, while Alan Houston scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Hubby Brown wanted the series to be even more exciting, and the veteran coach simply blessed the 76ers after the game:

"I'm sure the 76ers can protect their home court, and they've been really good this season, and with a little bit of work, I'm sure they can do it."

New York reporters are ready to talk to Iverson after the game.

Playing 45 minutes, 9-of-25, 10-of-14 free throws, 28 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers, Iverson delivered another good stat.

After waiting for a long time, in the end, it was found that only Larry Brown and Latliff appeared at the press conference, many people were a little disappointed, and some people coaxed and said:

"Playing garbage time, plus or minus is still -10, we just want to hear Iverson's feelings!"

“.”

On May 9, the NBA league announced the best rookie team of the season, and Artest also won a small honor.

The first team of 5 people are:

Elton Brand, Steve Francis, Andre Miller, Lamar Odom, Wally Szebiak.

The second team of 5 people are:

Ron Artest, Chaki Atkins, Sean Marion, James Posey, Jason Terry.

Szczebiak was drafted by the Timberwolves with the sixth pick last year and played well in his rookie season, but he was mediocre in the playoffs.

Kevin Garnett was out of the first round again this season, but the loss to the Trail Blazers was not a surprise, and most commentators still praised Garnett's performance.

On the plane to Philadelphia, Li You looked at the familiar name in the newspaper and suddenly realized that the 03 platinum generation was about to enter the alliance.

The Rookie of the Year team is also a rare honor in the eyes of ordinary players, and Artest smiled from ear to ear after getting on the plane.

He averaged 8.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.9 turnovers per game while shooting 41.4% from the field and 31.4% from three-point range.

With only 7.4 shots per game, Artest was named to the All-Rookie Team and is indeed a cause for celebration.

"Getting into the Rookie of the Year lineup will allow me to have a little more shots in the documentary?"

Hearing Artest's inflated request, Oakley immediately pinched Mengxin's shoulder and quipped:

"The name of the documentary is The Last Dance, and it's enough for a rookie to show his face! We'll record the footage of you carrying your bag. ”

Lewis showed a look of envy, and Ben Wallace, who was fiddling with his hair, looked at the swollen Artest and muttered:

"The rookie players in this class don't seem to be of a high level!"

“.”

In the Eastern Conference semifinals G3, the 76ers have just over a day to rest.

After the Knicks flew to Philadelphia, they didn't get much attention, and winning the first two games was so easy that the big media reporters chose to stay in New York to continue to stay.

On the night of the 9th, the Pacers shot the Heat again.

Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose both scored 40 points and sent the Heat in a daze.

Alonzo Mourning was on the fence, and no one on the outside of the Heat stepped up.

At 76:109, the Pacers defeated the Heat, and the series score also came to 2:0.

Although Pat Riley, who lost the game, still maintained his demeanor, many media reporters captured the famous coach's whispering mouth as he walked to the players' tunnel:

"Fack!"

Despite the fact that it's still early days before the Eastern Conference Finals, most sports media expect the Pacers and Knicks to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The grudge game is here again!

The two teams have a very similar configuration, with Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose going from strength to strength in the playoffs, and everyone is predicting a close match.

At 85:103, the Trail Blazers also beat the Jazz tonight.

Old man basketball has completely gone out, and with the blessing of American knives, the Trail Blazers led by Scottie Pippen are also getting better.

On the afternoon of the 10th, Li You warmed up in advance at the Philadelphia First United Center Arena, and a large number of media reporters were still gathered on the sidelines.

After receiving the ball, before he could walk to the sidelines, Li You was surrounded, perhaps because the recent news hotspots had run out, and the ESPN reporter hurriedly asked:

"Compared to last season, the Pacers seem to have found the right way to play, what do you think about the Eastern Conference Finals?"

Seeing that everyone was handing the microphone to him, Li You blinked, looked around at everyone, and said in some surprise:

"If I'm not mistaken, the Knicks' opponent tonight is the 76ers."

"Man, you're going to have to change the question, I'm willing to answer questions related to my opponent."

When the loan failed, the Yahoo Sports reporter seized the opportunity to ask another topic that has been hotly discussed recently:

"Lee, what do you think about the plus/minus issue, Iverson's two games are very poor!"

Hearing the questions related to Excel, Li You also cheered up and gave his own opinion:

"The stats are poor because they've been losing points and Iverson has stayed on the court."

"This data also has reference significance, but you don't need to study the disparity in strength!"

Hearing Li You's voiceover, the sports media gathered in front of him showed a knowing smile, and the NBC reporter asked curiously at this time:

"Lee, why do you always look so good with plus or minus? I mean, even on a night when you don't shoot well, you're still a good stat! ”

Li You smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and then replied simply:

"That's because the Knicks are winning all the time, it's that simple, and the stats sometimes tell the win!"

Everyone laughed, and the winning data was certainly beautiful.

In the Eastern Conference Semifinals G3 that night, enthusiastic Philadelphia fans entered early, and the venue accommodated 20,000 spectators, and everyone was fully engaged when the game began.

Philadelphia fans have actually been mentally prepared for a long time, the team is 2-0 down, as long as the game is good, the loss seems acceptable.

Coach Larry Brown was not going to throw in the towel, and despite the critics' furious criticism of his use of Iverson, he insisted on promoting Aaron McGee to the starting position when he returned home.

Compared to the first two games, the 76ers, who returned to their home court, showed a tenacious style of play, and did not collapse at halftime after learning their lessons.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 67:70, and the 76ers led for the first time in the series.

Victory was in sight, and after the start of the game in the fourth quarter, the shouts of the First United Center arena grew louder:

“Defense！.”

After an early break at the end of the third quarter, Lee Woo began to appear directly in the fourth quarter.

Artest, Cooke, Kurt Thomas, Ben Wallace are also in the normal rotation.

Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines and shouted twice from time to time, signaling the crowd to pull away quickly.

Iverson continued to lead the game, and so far in the game, he only had less than a minute of rest at the end of the first quarter.

Dribbling quickly across the half, Lee Woo, who was holding the ball in his right hand, sideways to protect the ball on the right flank, and Cooke asked for the ball with his back in the right blocking area at this time.

After receiving Li You's pass, Cookic did not complete the turn and frame attack at the first time, but raised the ball with his back to observe the situation on the court.

Artest had just come to the bottom left corner, while Ben Wallace and Kurt Thomas were standing near the basket and the other at the left elbow.

The offensive space on the field has been opened, and without the ball, Li You pretended to slip from the left side of Kukchi.

Iverson thought it was just a regular routine, but he didn't expect Li You to suddenly stealthily exert force when he was close to the right blocking area, and then quickly ran to the bottom right corner.

Before he had time to adjust the center of gravity of the defense, Iverson, who was pushed, saw Cookic throw the ball, and Li You, who received the ball, drifted to the right in the bottom corner of the right side and made a jumper!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow net!

The first leg equalised, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and then the shouting was louder.

Iverson didn't have time to pounce at all, so he could only stop in front of Li You.

Jeff Van Gundy clapped his hands calmly, gave a thumbs up, and continued to stand on the sidelines with his arms folded and paced back and forth.

After Iverson received the ball on the baseline, he was also led by Li You, and after halftime, he sent a pass, and the 76ers began to pass the ball continuously.

Most of the conduction didn't play much of a role, and in the end, Iverson broke through in the middle and went straight to the basket, Li You gave a physical confrontation, and the basket jumped up and interfered with the bottom right, and was finally hit by the opponent's lying shot

At 70:72, the 76ers are back in the lead!

The Knicks' offense also became simple and rough at this time, and Ben Wallace immediately came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line to block Lee Woo high.

Struggling to squeeze past the cover, Iverson also wanted to continue to complete the pursuit, and after switching to the left hand, Li You pushed the ball again and changed direction.

Ratliff, who came out of the inside defense, hurriedly slid at this time, but was still squeezed by Li You, and after receiving the ball with his right hand, he went straight into the paint area.

Teylon-Hill wanted to step forward immediately to help the defense, but he didn't expect that just two steps after the free throw line, Li You took advantage of the situation to complete the throw.

"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

"Shh

There were boos in the stadium, but Li You didn't care at all, and loudly reminded everyone to retreat.

Soon the game entered the stalemate stage again, and Li You continued to use high blocks and dismantles to get rid of the defense and complete the throw in the paint area.

Iverson kept hitting the basket, and in addition to scoring himself, the 76ers' score also increased.

At 76:76, with 8 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game, the two sides were tied again.

Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout at this point, and the bald young marshal did not change back to the main lineup, but took Lewis and signaled to play for another 3 minutes.

Lewis, who didn't show much in this series, came on the court and received a breakthrough ball from Lee You in the paint area in the middle, and threw it into the bottom corner of the right side!

After Iverson's drifting jumper in the paint zone, Ben Wallace protected the rebound, and the Knicks suddenly launched a transition offense.

Aaron McGee chased to Li You's side and wanted to complete the bag clamp as soon as possible, observed the position on the court, and before half the court, Li You jumped up and passed the ball in advance, left flank, just stopped at the three-point line after receiving the ball, and Cooke also threw the ball away!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

Rally Brown immediately called a timeout, the noise in the arena grew louder, and the Knicks scored too quickly.

At 82:76, trailing by six points in the blink of an eye, Iverson pursed his lips and walked briskly to the bench.

After high-fives and celebrated with his teammates on the court, Li You returned to the bench with a relaxed smile, and then clashed fists with the atmosphere group.

"The 76ers have to be careful, they have to defend well at this time, there is still a lot of game time, they still have a chance to turn the game around!"

Hubby Brown's words were a bit serious, and Marv Albert joked:

"It's a game you can't lose, and if the Knicks get a match point, it means the series is coming to an end."

"At this critical juncture, Iverson needs to step up and take responsibility!"

Iverson's shooting form slipped in the next few rounds, while Artest and Ben Wallace also scored on the Knicks' side.

This time for the 76ers, Iverson broke into the paint zone again, and Ben Wallace and Lewis quickly gave the ball to Teylon Hill on the bottom right of the basket as both Ben Wallace and Lewis focused on him.

As soon as the ball reached the veteran's hand, it was cut off by Li You, who had predicted it in advance.

Watching the Knicks launch another conversion offense, the boos at the scene were even louder, and Iverson countered on the spot, but was directly flashed by Li You's deft back dribble.

The defense was out of position, and Coach Larry Brown on the sidelines kept shouting in exasperation:

"Retreat! Go faster and take on your own defenders. ”

Before the 76ers could move to help Iverson defend, they came to the top of the arc, and after adjusting their footsteps, Li You slowed down, and then made a quick emergency stop, converting three points and scoring again!

The stalker, Iverson's saves from the flanks didn't do much.

At 89:82, the score difference was widened again, and in the arena of the First United Center in Philadelphia, only the shouting and scolding of the fans remained.

Larry Brown's timeout didn't play a role either, at which point the protagonist on the court became a role player for the Knicks.

When Lewis hit another three-pointer, everyone on the Knicks bench waved their towels.

The 76ers, who suddenly kept hitting the iron, almost looked at the fans at the scene stupidly.

It wasn't until Iverson's breakthrough on the right flank and Lee You's body collided with him that most fans realized one thing:

"Aaron Iverson is tired."

The Knicks' atmosphere group did not leave a trace of emotion, and after finding the touch, a wave of three-point rain suddenly fell in the fourth quarter.

With 1:06 left in the game, as Lee hit both free throws, many 76ers fans stood up and looked directly at the scoreboard.

At 97:89, Ewing and Oakley on the sidelines were clapping incessantly, and everyone on the bench was smiling.

After running out of timeouts, Iverson continued to shoot from beyond the three-point line and then hit back-to-back irons

As the game went by, the noise on the scene became louder and louder, and at the last moment, Iverson missed two free throws, and Li You controlled the ball after receiving the ball and was not attacking.

"Shhhhh

At 101:89, the final hum sounded, and Iverson held back the resentment in his heart and walked directly to the players' tunnel with his head down.

Li You smiled and handed the ball in his hand to the referee, and was even in the mood to joke with the other party.

On the commentary bench, Marv-Albert looked at Iverson, who was about to leave, and sighed in a low voice:

"It's a shame that maybe they're just one game away from winning!"

Hubby Brown shook his head, noticing that Li You didn't have much joy, and commented emphatically:

"Everything is in Lee's control, he knows that the opponent will be tired, and the breakthrough in the fourth quarter, no one in the 76ers can limit him."

"In this game, whether it is behind or stalemate, I can't see Lee's mood swings, I only see incomparable confidence in him!"

5-of-8, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, Lee Woo scored another 14 points in the final quarter to seal the win.

The cheers of the Knicks, the disappointed shouts of the Philadelphia fans, and the blessings of the Philadelphia fans on both sides of the players' tunnel all reached Iverson's ears.

It seemed that he didn't want to say goodbye to the season in this way, and when he entered the players' tunnel, Iverson couldn't hold back at all, and he was furious and kicked down the fence:

“Fuck！ ***！ And so it is again! ”
