Chapter 180: MVPs Take Turns (8500 Words Chapter)
For many New York fans, a hearty offense is much better than a slow-paced positional battle.
Scoring 100 points in a game is no longer enough to satisfy the preferences of young fans.
Not only New York fans, but most of them prefer to come to the scene to buy tickets to watch the game, but they still prefer to see beautiful fast breaks, see powerful dunks, and see gorgeous passes.
Just like the Kings' popularity this season, offense is indeed more appealing than defense, especially when the core guard can deliver subtle passes, which is further amplified.
Madison Square Garden, near the end of the G1 half of the Eastern Conference Finals, many fans who bought tickets to watch the game were already too happy to stop.
LSP Woody Allen, who was sitting in the front row, was old, and at this time, as if possessed by Spike Lee, also stood up and cheered for the Knicks' offense.
The big director is not usually so excited, but the Knicks attack too fiercely in tonight's game, and watching the score continue to rise, excitement begins to fill his heart.
Reggie Miller, who was 5-of-6 in the first quarter and scored 11 points efficiently, gradually hit the iron in the second quarter.
On a couple of offenses, Reggie Miller caught the ball and broke through to the paint and was interfered with by Ben Wallace.
With 1:54 left in the final half of the game, Reggie Miller caught the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line and made a jumper, watching Ben Wallace almost get the rebound, and the Pacers hurried back to defense.
Getting plenty of playing time tonight has made the excited Ben Wallace fit better and better.
After receiving the ball, Li You advanced along the right sideline, and Mark Jackson, who had just replaced Best, did not step forward to interfere, but quickly came to the right wing to establish a defensive position in advance.
It was another half-conversion offense, the fans cheered, and Li You approached the three-point line with the ball in his left hand, noticing that Mark Jackson moved back slightly, and immediately quickly went in and out.
During the march, he suddenly shook to the right and left, and Li You quickly cut in on the left flank.
Mark Jackson made a successful prediction and quickly slid to the right back, and the Pacers had just finished their defense when the two men went into a physical confrontation.
Breaking through to the right blocking position, Li You suddenly changed direction under his crotch during the march and forcibly changed to his right hand.
Just close to the paint area after completing the jump with Mark Jackson, the two collided again, and Li You leaned on each other and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand!
"Bang!"
Dale Davis, who had just run back to the basket, watched helplessly as the basketball fell into the basket after hitting the high board.
The defense was not out of position at all, but at the end the twist and block was knocked open, and Mark Jackson looked at Li You, who was posing under the basket, and scolded twice angrily.
"Crazy attack! Lee seized the opportunity to switch offense in this quarter and sent the ball to the basket again and again! ”
"I don't think Coach Larry Bird probably didn't expect that to happen."
The fiery atmosphere of the scene also made Doug Collins in the commentary box praise loudly, Bob Costas noticed that the point difference was widened, and also commented on the half-time game in a brisk tone:
"With 25 shots in the first quarter, the Knicks did not slow down in the second quarter of the game, and once again played a furious offense!"
"Maybe the Pacers players are feeling tired!"
"They just played a tough game in Miami two days ago, and at half-time, Coach Larry Bird needed to recalibrate his strategy.
Larry Bird, who was on the sidelines, saw Jalen Rose on the left side of the block and singled Artest with his back to the bottom line, and he began to frown again for a while.
The basketball slammed to the front of the basket, and Artest, who was just twisted into position, accepted the rebound.
Seeing Li You receiving the ball again, the Pacers could only quickly retreat.
Crowhill, who had scored most of the second quarter, followed Lewis to the bottom right corner in frustration.
Noticing that Ben Wallace's high block on the left wing allowed Lee to get in again, Krosier hesitated and didn't choose to help defend into the paint.
Pushing the ball to the free throw line, Li You paused slightly, then suddenly changed speed and increased his stride, and when he came to the basket, he began to slow down and lean against Dale Davis, who was chasing the defense.
Suddenly stopped, Dale Davis hit Li You directly, and before he could adjust the center of gravity of the defense, he subconsciously followed and moved to the basket.
With no one to help defend him, Li You leaned on the opponent, tilted his body to the bottom right of the basket, and threw the ball to the rebound again!
Although he stopped in time, Dale Davis couldn't control his body, jumped up and blocked, and finally both fell to the ground
"Squeak!"
The whistle blew and Davis sat up, frustratedly pounding the floor.
The defenders played with the big man, and the beautiful goal made the fans shout loudly:
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Crohill, who made the wrong defensive choice, heard the cheers in the arena and subconsciously looked at Larry Bird on the sidelines, but the manager didn't say anything, and he was relieved.
The whole Pacers team pulled their faces and watched Lee Yoga hit a free throw.
At 50:63, the score difference was further widened.
With 16 seconds left in the half, Reggie Miller found his touch again, facing Alan Houston's block and making a left elbow jumper.
After hitting that shot, the Pacers had just reached 17 points in the first quarter.
At the last moment, Li You's whistle throw in the paint area missed, and the stadium resounded with a sigh of regret, and then it was covered with cheers.
At 52:63, the halftime was over, and the Knicks entered the second half with an 11-point lead.
Although the game was lively, both sides slipped in shooting percentage in the second quarter.
Jeff Van Gundy was very happy with the team's performance, but Ewing was a little depressed, and he played the same as Rick Schmitz on the opposite side and played three minutes in the middle of the second quarter.
I thought that I could get more opportunities when I met a big man, but I didn't expect the other party to fight faster and faster.
The Knicks continued to rotate in the second quarter, with Larry Johnson leading the first half and Lee Yoo leading the second.
The two commentators were shocked when they saw that the Knicks made another 23 shots in the second quarter and 48 shots in the half.
Doug Collins noticed that the Pacers also took 45 shots, and for a moment he could only sigh:
"Coach Larry Bird's strategy was right, but they couldn't run a little bit in the second quarter."
"Coupled with Jalen Rose's complete dumbness, this is the point difference."
Cover and throw, after half court down to the back single, if there is no good chance, Mark Jackson can still hold the ball to break through the single.
With two shooters opening up the offensive space on the court, and combined with the faster Krohill moving laterally, the Pacers played extremely unrestrained!
Rick Schmitz stopped playing as the main attacker after a false shot in the opening game, which is completely different from last year's Eastern Conference Finals encounter.
With 63 points in the half, the high number of rounds completely ignited the atmosphere, and Bob Costas also noticed the situation, adding with a smile:
"Lee's transition offense scoring is too easy, and the half-conversion opportunity can also take advantage of the physical advantage of the opponent and rush to the basket to complete the score."
"The Pacers did a good job of limiting his shooting, but there seemed to be some lack of preparation when he was frequently driven to the basket."
"What changes will Larry Bird make in the second half?"
Seeing the New York fans who had already twisted along with the music, Doug Collins was a little speechless, pondered for a moment, and simply said the scene:
"After changing the opposing defenders and readjusting the alignment, the Pacers still have a chance to turn the game around!"
At halftime, under the basketball hoop, James Dolan felt the lively atmosphere of the scene and completely entered the state of winning and smiling.
The cheerleading girls began to pull the fans to do some shooting games, and the atmosphere was hot and unabated when they were rewarded with American knives.
After the start of the second half, Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Bird both returned to the bench.
The two sides regained their starting line-ups, the big men returned to the field, and the game returned to its normal rhythm.
The Knicks took the lead in attacking, and when Lee Woo came to the top of the arc, he noticed that the defender in front of him had become Reggie Miller.
Clapping his hands and lowering his center of gravity, Reggie Miller looked at Lee You, and then Ewing stood at the top of the arc with his large body sideways
After wrapping the ball behind his back, Lee Woo switched to his left hand to face Rick Schmitz, who suddenly came up with a big delay.
Li You did not choose to pass between the two, but directly accelerated, leaned against the other party, and squeezed neatly past the right side of Rick Schmitz.
"Overtaking on the outside lane", Rick Schmitz has not yet reacted, and Li You has broken through to a position close to the paint area.
Dale Davis moved to the basket for the first time, and Li You rushed up in three strides and curled up against the opponent's block, dodged the block, and then gave the ball to Oakley to cut into the basket.
The latter catches the ball, goes to the bottom right of the basket, and easily hits the board and puts the basket into the basket.
At 52:65, the margin continued to widen, and Oakley's civilian basket did not affect the mood of the New York fans, and the cheers resounded in the arena again.
A blocker was gone, and Reggie Miller ran to the side of Lee You and began to provoke when he ran to the half:
"Boy, you should play like a man!"
Li You was a little surprised, and when he saw the other party's angry eyes, he immediately smiled and said:
"You should go down and look at my stats now, get the same score as me, and then talk trash to me!"
"If your memory is declining, let me remind you that the pick-and-roll has cost me two championships!"
When it came to the championship, Reggie Miller was suddenly choked speechless, and at the same time, he was so angry that his heart was filled with anger.
It's been a long time since anyone talked trash with Li You, the youngest MVP, FMVP, and scoring champion in history, the honor is much worse, and the data can't be compared.
In all kinds of situations, veterans who want to save face usually automatically ignore Li You
Suddenly applied a layer of anger buff to himself, and his expression became a little hideous, Reggie Miller took the initiative to ask for the ball for several rounds in a row.
It's just that the offensive means are really limited, and in addition to playing with their lives, most of them are still breaking through.
Two rounds in a row with easy scoring through switching offenses, Alan Houston was a little baffled, looking at Reggie Miller with inexplicable eyes.
This offense, after breaking through to the interior again, the foul count was not used, and Oakley gave Reggie Miller another hard blow.
The old guy with reduced reaction speed can't catch the agile little guard, and he will even be teased by Iverson, but when he encounters the straight-up Reggie Miller, he is suddenly comfortable after hitting the top and the face with a hat
Seeing Reggie Miller who was knocked to the floor, the New York fans at the scene became even more excited, and the cheers became louder and louder, so angry that Dale Davis immediately stepped forward and pushed him.
Larry Johnson, who was playing soy sauce, suddenly came to his senses at this time, but before he could rush up, he was hugged by the linesman who had been paying attention to him.
"Shh
Seeing that the lively scene was stopped by the referee, the fans booed and felt a little regretful, and the Knicks were taken care of this season.
Larry Bird noticed that the margin was widening again, and began to frown again, got up and shouted twice to remind everyone to calm down, and finally did not make any substitutions.
Standing at the free throw line, it seemed to be blinded, Reggie Miller hit the second free throw, Ewing grabbed the rebound, and the Knicks launched another transition offense.
After the gorilla handed over the ball, he tried to accelerate and rush forward, also blocking and dismantling in the high position, and this time Ewing hung up and immediately accelerated down.
Reggie Miller finally squeezed through the cover and desperately chased down Lee You's side, while Rick Schmitz raised his hands and moved sideways to the three-point line for delays.
Lee Woo, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first used his ball protector to push away Reggie Miller, who rushed to his side, and when Rick Schmitz was in front of him, he suddenly leaned on the opponent and jumped up to throw the ball.
With his left hand, he threw the ball from the opponent's right side to the basket, and Li You's pass was so powerful that the basketball hit the floor and bounced high, and Ewing just caught the ball in front of him.
Straight in front of the basket, just a step ahead, Ewing immediately took off, ignored Dale Davis, who assisted in the defense, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!
"Boom!" Smooth down the violent deduction to get it!
“Wow!”
The powerful dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and Ewing also stood under the basket and roared loudly to vent the depression in his heart.
"The pick-and-roll will continue to let me win the championship!"
“Man! Come to my training camp and I can share my championship experience! ”
Li You paced back and smiled and exchanged friendly views with Reggie Miller.
It seems that the defense has been completely broken, and Reggie Miller can only return to the most primitive greeting in the end.
The cameras at the scene began to focus on the two people who were talking cordially, although there was no way to hear the original sound, but in the commentary seat, Doug Collins also guessed something:
"Miller seems to have lost his cool for a few minutes, which can be very fatal for a pitcher."
"He's going to need to play the way he's good at it, not just being reckless, and it's good to get to the free throw line, and Miller needs to calm himself down!"
Even with headphones on, Bob Costas could still hear the shouts and curses of the fans in attendance.
The more Reggie Miller reacted, the more excited the fans became, and Spike Lee was eager to chase down the ball and play around his old rival.
Mark Jackson began to give more balls to the more calm Jalen Rose, who also lived up to expectations and began to help the Pacers score points.
Noticing that the Knicks scored a steady response and Lee Woo assisted Ewing to score points in a row, Bob Costas sighed again:
"Defense is the key to winning the game, and the Pacers can't contain Lee, which makes it difficult for them to turn the game around."
With 4:13 left in the third quarter, Reggie Miller, who had completely calmed down, closed his mouth again and ran off the left flank to hit his first athletic goal of the game.
At 67:78, the margin returned to 11 points.
Becoming more focused, Reggie Miller first glanced at the movement behind him after Lee Yoo-yun passed half court, and then kept a short distance, interfering with his hands from time to time.
“Let's go Knicks!.”
The two faced each other again, Li You was not passing, the left flank, sideways to protect the ball, Reggie Miller immediately set up his forearm and stepped forward to defend.
The two first pushed each other with their hands, and then Li You suddenly turned quickly, lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated with his left hand scouting.
Reggie Miller immediately slid to the right back, and Lee Woo stepped on the three-point line to quickly complete the crossover step pullback, and at the same time switched to the right hand, he completed the retreat.
Directly close the ball outside the three-point line, Li You faced Reggie Miller's block, left wing, and quickly jumped shot!
With a large shaking and a very fast step-back jumper, Li You's body leaned back slightly, and Reggie Miller, who was trying to defend, finally hung on Li You's lap again, and the referee was already blowing the whistle while he was still in the air.
"Squeak!"
When the whistle blew and the ball went in, the New York fans in attendance stood up and cheered, greeting Reggie Miller loudly again.
Successfully rubbed the foul, Li You smiled and high-fived his teammates in celebration, and slowly walked to the free throw line.
Reggie Miller was completely silent, but subconsciously looked up at the scoreboard, and after scolding, he patted his chest, indicating that it was his fault
Jeff Van Gundy also stood up and applauded at this time, and when he saw Li Youjia hit the penalty, he immediately felt that the game was stable.
At 67:82, the difference instantly came to 15 points.
Requesting a timeout again, Larry Bird began to rotate personnel, replacing Rick Schmitz, who could only run with a switchback, and taking Crohill again.
The Knicks also replaced the veteran step by step and took the short inside.
Crohill and Jalen Rose continued to help the Pacers score points, but there were no changes on the defensive end and still couldn't stop the Knicks from responding to the ball.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers' bench was completely silent.
At 76:90, the game seemed to be about to lose suspense.
Jeff Van Gundy was very cautious and got Lee back after 3 minutes of play in the fourth quarter.
It wasn't until the margin widened again, with 3:46 left in the game, that Reggie Miller went off the court and the Knicks began to switch to the atmosphere group.
On the commentary bench, Bob Costas noticed that the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped again after the start of the fourth quarter:
"Tonight, the Pacers played really well for three quarters."
"Considering they only had one day off, I'm sure the next series will be very exciting!"
Doug Collins nodded along and got through the first two games to give the Pacers three days of recuperation:
'If you can't win away games, then the next two home games are very important.
"I'm sure Coach Larry Bird is ready to face the tough stuff and this year the team is in great form and they have a chance of winning the title!"
The two of them made chicken soup on the commentary bench, while Larry Bird, who was sitting on the bench, kept pulling his face.
Without using Rick Schmitz too much, the team took the initiative to speed up, but the situation of digesting the ball was not ideal, and the two main attackers lacked consistency.
Reggie Miller, who had readjusted his mentality, sat in his seat and rehydrated, and took the initiative to whisper to his teammates:
"It's my problem! We're going to get an away win. ”
At 35 years old, already at the end of his career, the young players of the Pacers certainly don't blame Big Brother, and everyone knows that Reggie Miller has done his best.
Played 40 minutes, 8-of-19, 2-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, 21 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
After an efficient slash in the first quarter, Reggie Miller basically banged the iron.
Jalen Rose patted Big Brother on the shoulder and didn't speak, 7-of-19, 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover.
After an efficient performance in the third quarter, Jalen Rose wilted again, and the performance of the two was half a pound, not as good as Crosiere, who contributed 20 points off the bench
In the last few minutes, the game time ran out quickly, and the score was fixed at 100:112, and the Knicks successfully protected the home court.
“Wow!”
Although the shooting percentage declined in the second half, in the Eastern Conference finals, he scored 112 points, which still made the New York fans on the scene happy.
NBC reporter Jim Gray greeted the staff and immediately got to Lee You's side after the game.
The fans at the scene were still cheering and celebrating, and Jim Gray also raised his voice, laughing and asking loudly:
"Lee, congratulations on scoring another 40 points! Can you talk about what you exchanged with Miller at the game? ”
"Miller just asked me for advice on how to play pick-and-roll!"
"I also shared with him a little bit about my championship experience, it's that simple, we get along very well and I like to play with him!"
Li You gave the answer with a smile, the staff around him didn't believe this, and Jim Gray even joked with a smile:
"Maybe in the next game, we should consider putting a microphone on you, the fans will definitely want to hear the soundtrack!"
"Trust me, Mr. Stern won't like it!"
After Li You said this, he also laughed with a few people.
This season, the civilized language on the field was deliberately rectified, but the effect was not good, and it was not until the end of the game that the voice of greeting Miller gradually became quieter.
16-of-26, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, 40 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.
With only 38 minutes played, Lee Woo once again played extremely efficiently.
James Dolan, who was on the sidelines, saw the technical statistics early, and although he was not a professional, he was in a particularly beautiful mood when he looked at Li You's data.
Many back-row fans were still reluctant to leave the stadium immediately, and some were still chanting Li You's name, trying to attract attention and get the opportunity to sign a group photo.
"It was one of the best games of the season and the fans love to see an attacking performance like this!"
Grunfield, the general manager on the side, could only continue to compliment when he heard the words of the curly boss:
"In some games, we can really play more beautiful than the Kings!"
James Dolan nodded with a smile on his face, handed the technical statistics to Glenfield, patted the other party on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the full aisle:
"It's time to pay a visit to our Warriors, tonight was a perfect win!"
“.”
After scoring 112 points in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks played a whopping 86 rounds in the game.
These two stats are particularly eye-catching, as the heat of the Lakers' big win over the Trail Blazers begins to dissipate, and more commentators begin to talk about the Knicks' offense.
Ben Wallace had just six points but had three blocks and grabbed 12 rebounds.
Such a performance has also attracted the attention of many teams.
On Monday, May 22, I just commented on the performance of the Knicks last night, and in the morning program of TNT, we began to warm up for the night's game again.
Mike Flatello was impressed with Ben Wallace's performance last night, and the show contrasted the interior of the Trail Blazers:
'We had Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace in the starting line-up, and Brian Grant and Detreve Schramf on the bench.
"If you get into foul trouble, you can use Jermaine O'Neal."
"The Trail Blazers stockpiled enough interior players, but they still couldn't stop O'Neal from scoring."
"Maybe there's something wrong with their team building ideas!"
Kenny Smith immediately shook his head and retorted with a smile:
"I'm sure head coach Dunleavy will make adjustments, but the Trail Blazers' perimeter players need to step up."
"Just as Lee constantly pulls the Pacers' defense with pick-and-roll offense, the Trail Blazers need that kind of guard."
"Shaq rarely delays, and he has some easy scoring opportunities from outside the three-point line and from mid-range in the blocking zone."
Ernnie Johnson saw that Mike Flatello was also shaking his head, and immediately understood what the other party meant, and immediately quipped:
"What Mike means is that there's only one Lee in the league, and the Lakers' perimeter defense is very good, especially after the cover, and has been doing a really good job."
Thinking of the situation in the last game, Kenny Smith could only nod in agreement, and finally said helplessly:
"Hopefully tonight's game will be a little better, I don't want to see 110 points in the divisional finals again!"
“.”
Since the Eastern Conference Finals G2 will be played tomorrow night, the Knicks will naturally not relax and continue to train at the Tarrytown Training Center.
Ewing only played 21 minutes in last night's game, while the Pacers' Rick Schmitz played just 19 minutes.
The two are basically the same as above, which makes Ewing's stats drop a lot, 3-of-7, 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover.
In the morning video lesson, Ewing was not in a beautiful mood, not because he had an opinion about last night's game, but because he thought about next season's tour.
Jeff Van Gundy didn't notice that the gorilla had lost his mind, and he stayed up late to watch the video of the game, and was busy summarizing the players at this time:
"Dale Davis grabbed five rebounds in the front court, don't underestimate the opponent, which shows that the opponent is in great physical shape."
"Tomorrow night, if the Pacers miss from beyond the three-point line, they're going to keep hitting the basket, just like they hit the Heat's interior in the last round, so we've got to be ready."
Oakley just nodded, signaling that he would not be careless any longer, and Ewing, who came back to his senses, immediately reassured:
"I'm going to protect all the backcourt rebounds and it's not going to be a problem for the team."
After the coaching staff summed up the game, everyone discussed it in low voices.
Li You is not worried about this, as long as he rotates and adjusts in time, Kurt Thomas and "Little Ben" can also withstand it:
"Cott, pay attention to the position behind the pick-and-roll, you just need to run to the sweet spot that you are good at as soon as possible, and then all you have to do is catch the ball and jump shot."
"It's more of a problem to not have an offensive threat than a jumper, just trust your shot."
Kurt Thomas has gained a bit of weight this season, and with his daily ironing, his shooting form has been up and down from last season.
Last night's game came with a 1-of-6, mostly open shots, and the result was not to score.
Hearing Li You's advice, Kurt Thomas hurriedly stated:
"Thanks, Bro! I'll keep shooting. ”
Artest doesn't need to be advised, this budding newcomer throws it when it arises, even if it strikes iron, it will not be affected in any way.
"If I hit all my shots, I'm the MVP!"
In daily training, the iron was ridiculed, and Artest used this sentence to fight back, and several veterans were speechless.
Cookic has become completely accustomed to the Knicks' tactics, which seem to be different from the Bulls, but in fact, everyone is the same when it comes to key moments.
Jeff Van Gundy is happy with the current atmosphere and has a lot of confidence in the current staffing.
While everyone was preparing for the meal, Van Gundy told Lewis, who didn't get much playing time in last night's game:
"Get ready, Rashard, you're going to get more minutes in this series!"
Even if the head coach is painting cakes, Lewis is willing to eat it at this time, and makes a promise with low eyebrows:
"Coach, I'm ready!"
On the night of the 22nd, Los Angeles fans were preparing for another victory at home, but they were beaten head-on.
At 106:77, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers on the road and got a valuable road victory.
O'Neal was repeatedly surrounded by meat shields, a lot of muscles collided, and the free throws were completely untouched.
What made Los Angeles fans dumbfounded was that in the third quarter of the game, 28:8, the Lakers scored 8 points in a single quarter.
Iron, turnover, iron, only O'Neal and Brian Shaw scored in a field battle.
Sabonis Sr. only played 17 minutes and carried six fouls, and Brian Grant also left the court with six fouls in 22 minutes, but the Trail Blazers' interior shields still made a difference.
Playing 39 minutes, 9-of-16, 5-of-17 from the free-throw line, 23 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers, O'Neal was limited by a foul.
Playing 42 minutes and shooting 2-of-9, Bryant contributed a team-high 12 points.
After this game, the Los Angeles media collectively lost their voices, losing too badly to blow
Rasheed Wallace became the key man for the Trail Blazers, scoring a game-high 29 points on 8-of-18 shooting, 3-of-3 three-pointers and 10-of-11 free throws.
Add to that Steve Smith's 24 points and Scottie Pippen's 21 points, and Portland fans are also boiling over, and the championship seems to be beckoning to them!
After the big loss, most commentators stopped touting the Lakers' dominance.
O'Neal was flawed, and the Lakers were still 6-of-23 from the field, and their performance was still not as good as they could be.
Seeing the Lakers' bad luck, the happiest thing is the New York media, the Knicks just showed their offensive firepower, and the Lakers pulled their hips!
On the evening of the 23rd, Madison Square Garden, after kick-off at 19:30 that night, the cheers could not be stopped.
Readjusting the defensive strategy, Jalen Rose began to guard in front of Lee Woo frequently.
Using strikers to defend really cooled Li You's hand.
As the Knicks adjusted their offensive strategy, and after Lee Yoo gave the ball to Larry Johnson, who had a lot of misplaced opportunities, "Big Mom" finally broke out.
With a lot of shots, Larry Johnson helped the team continue to cut points.
With a two-point lead at halftime, the Knicks broke out again in the third quarter.
At 19:29 in the single quarter, the score came to 69:81 in the third quarter.
On the NBC commentary bench at the scene, Doug Collins noticed that Li You handed out 10 assists in the third quarter of the game, and once again exclaimed:
"You can still help the team when you don't feel good, and that's what sets Lee apart from other scorers."
Bob Costas felt that tonight's game was much better than the previous one, and also commented:
"The Pacers will definitely stick to their defensive strategy, and they won't let up their defense against Lee, and they won't let go of the perimeter."
"After switching to a rotational lineup, Larry Johnson got a huge amount of offensive space tonight."
On the Knicks bench, Larry Johnson, who ate dumplings, only felt that his back didn't hurt anymore, and his knees didn't hurt anymore.
"Hey, Bro! It's my turn to be the MVP tonight! ”
