Chapter 203: Let Him "Suck"! (10,000-word chapter)

On November 5, 2000, the NBA league announced the first Player of the Week of the new season:

The Jazz's Carl Malone and John Stockton managed to win the award.

Whenever someone thinks the old man can't basketball, these two will step up!

In three games, the 37-year-old Malone averaged 31.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, and the 38-year-old Stockton averaged 15.3 points and 12.3 assists per game;

In addition to their 3-0 record, the most important thing to win the award was that they won against the Lakers.

Strong dialogue, the Jazz won again, the Lakers started slowly, the role players were not in shape, and they lost unjustly.

However, the Los Angeles media always find new blows, and the team's new signing, Isaiah Ryder, seems to be in good form and has recently become a model player for the "prodigal son".

Li You was shocked by the Los Angeles media when he saw these news, is it really a treasure to join the Lakers?

Flying leaves, being late for training, clashing with team staff, and spectators.

While this is a common trait among most NBA players at the moment, some of the former slam dunk king's intensified behaviors are even unbearable for his teammates.

After joining the Eagles for a season, Mutombo complained about these things with Ewing, and Li You is also a first-line melon eater, who knows the inside story, and he doesn't believe in the "prodigal son turning back" at all:

"Poisonous dogs can't be trusted!"

On Nov. 7, the Knicks who flew to Milwaukee, like ordinary people, stopped paying attention to the game and stayed in front of the TV in the hotel at night, waiting for the results of the vote.

Live broadcast throughout the day, the votes of both sides chase me, and the whole United States is eating melons at this time, which is much more exciting than sports competitions

When the media began to broadcast that the Donkey Party had won the vote in Florida, some people in the Knicks cheered, but within two hours, all the news outlets began to slap themselves in the face again, and the voting results were problematic:

"The votes of both sides are in a state of scorching."

Li You almost laughed out loud at this scene, the news anchors on the TV were all question marks, everyone had never experienced this.

It's past 23 o'clock, and there is still no result, Li You patted his ass and got up to get ready to sleep, and the people who ate melons were still guarding the TV.

Alan Houston saw Li You yawning and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Lee, don't you pay attention to the results of the vote?"

Li You waved his hand without looking back, and said in a relaxed tone:

"I'm more concerned about the NASDAQ, remember to rest early, there were two back-to-back games this week."

Everyone on the Knicks was still in front of the TV with great interest, and waited until 1 o'clock in the middle of the night when a new news came from the TV:

"The votes are reversed, and the elephant party wins"

What's even more interesting is that the losing side, after congratulating the other party on his victory, withdrew his "blessing" when it came to the rally to address the people.

On the morning of the second day, after the first round of recounting of votes between the two sides, the difference was 300 votes, and then all the people who ate melons witnessed history, and the executive power and judicial power of Florida started a tearing war!

You ask for manual recounting, and we require the statistics to be completed within 2 days.

No matter what the outcome is, the operation of the two sides can be regarded as full of suspense, and everyone begins to look forward to the final result, and the "litigation war" officially begins.

The Bucks most likely stayed up late to eat melons, and the state of the game that night was completely lost, and Ray Allen took the lead in hitting the iron and almost smashed his own basket.

At 106:83, the Knicks easily defeated their opponents and successfully won 4 consecutive victories!

The sports media will not pay attention to the results of the game at this time, so simply report it and continue to pay attention to the voting battle.

Flying back to New York overnight, the Knicks also suffered their first loss of the season in back-to-back games, losing to the Cavaliers at home 99-90.

The loss finally put the spotlight on the Knicks, with the New York Post saying:

"Chauncey Billups is a failed signing!"

Billups seemed to be back to his rookie season with the Celtics, and he was at a loss in the face of the whirlwind and fancy three-pointers.

Falling into the positional attack, the bench lineup has no qualified endpoints, Cookch is unpredictable, Ben Wallace finishes too roughly, and Kurt Thomas's mid-range is quite reliable.

Longley was a good fit, but unfortunately he was too slow to move after coming on the court, and the defensive end couldn't keep up with the rhythm for most of the rounds.

Naturally, Jeff Van Gundy was also asked in his post-match interview about Billups, who had a few mediocre games.

The bald young marshal didn't say much, but just talked about the scene in the interview:

"The regular season has just begun, Chauncey needs to adapt to the team!"

The result of the vote eventually fell into a "lawsuit", and the fans ate melons and returned their attention to the game.

On November 10th, at the Fleet Center Arena, the game drew to a close, and the Cates fans stood up excitedly.

At 95:92, with 9.7 seconds left before the end of the game, the Celtics still had a chance to tie the score.

Coach Pitino sat in front of the Celtic crowd, writing and drawing on the tactical board while shouting:

"Antoine, you come to catch the ball, pay attention to the opponent's defense, and if you suddenly encounter a bag, immediately return the ball to Chris!"

'Be patient, find open opportunities, don't rush to attack, we have plenty of time to score this goal.'

Paul Pearce, who was sitting on the bench, didn't say a word, and Bang Bang hit the iron in the fourth quarter, allowing the Knicks to turn the game over.

Pierce was very dissatisfied with the manager's distrust of the last attack, but Antoine Walker did perform well tonight, and at this time he could only follow the arrangement.

Despite the team's backwards, the game was played well and the fans had a great time, and it was much more fun to play to the defending champions to the end than to lose in the previous two seasons.

The players from both sides returned to the court, and the Celtics fans continued to cheer loudly at this time:

“Wow!”

The Celtics were desperate at this point, with center Vitaly Portapenco being replaced and backup guard Chris Kyle coming on.

Add in Randy Brown, Bryant Stich, Paul Pearce, Antoine Walker and the quartet without height and without cover.

The Knicks didn't have to think about it to know that the other side was going to make a strong three-point shot, Ben Wallace was still on the court, and the lineup was also smaller.

The shooting state of the game tonight was average, but fortunately, the opponent suddenly pulled his hips, which gave him a chance to complete the reversal.

In the midst of the noise, Randy Brown, who opened the sideline, almost violated the serve, and when it came to the team's execution, the Celtics were obviously a little worse.

Covering at the free-throw line didn't allow Antoine Walker to get away from Lewis, failing to catch the ball in the first place and finally simply throwing the ball into the hands of Paul Pierce at the far end.

The tactics didn't play at all, but the fans didn't care, and the Celtics were going to make mistakes, quickly opening up the attacking space and leaving the left wing to Paul Pierce.

Artest had already carried 5 fouls at this time, and he didn't dare to reach out in the face of Pierce, who was shaking his head, and the opposite one was also blessed with a whistle tonight.

Both of them lowered their center of gravity, and Pierce, who was holding the ball in his right hand, didn't make much movement and watched the time pass.

This patient competition finally made the impetuous Artest take the lead.

With the last 2.1 seconds left in the game, Artest subconsciously moved forward and chose to press and pounce, and Pierce immediately closed the ball, almost hanging on the defense, and forced a jump shot from outside the three-point line!

There was a sudden silence in the arena, and everyone raised their hands and shouted cheers as the basketball hollowed into the net.

“GOD! Paul Pearce hit the key three-pointer and we still have a chance! ”

"Incredible goal, God is on our side tonight!"

Celtics home commentator Mike Gorman stood up and shouted excitedly, and Tom Heinsohn, a Celtics legend on the side, also shouted:

"That's what we're looking forward to with the Celtics, we have a chance to beat the defending champions!"

The referee was watching repeatedly on the technical table to see if he needed to return to the table and was dragged into overtime by the opponent, and Li You didn't have much emotion, just patted the frustrated Artest.

Paul Pearce, who scored the goal, hugged his teammates and kept shouting:

“This is my house!”

The bouncing Paul Pierce deliberately raised his voice in front of Li You, looking very proud, and when he swung his fist, he was alive and well out of the future emoji

Li You noticed that the referee signaled that there were 0.6 seconds left, and immediately smiled at Paul Pearce:

"In the bottom right corner, God is on my side tonight! I don't want to work overtime! ”

After saying this, Li You pretended to point to the sky with one hand, and then walked from the front of the Celtics to the bench.

Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce were confused when they heard this, and when they returned to the bench, Pierce simply took the initiative to ask:

"I'll defend Lee, Shet! We won overtime! ”

Coach Pitino nodded in agreement and moved on to the final round of defending

“Wow!”

When the two sides returned to the court, the cheers grew louder and louder, and Pierce noticed that Lee Woo was really standing near the right sideline, simply turned his back to the basket and hugged Lee Woo.

The referee continued to blow the whistle to warn, and Pierce let go, wanting to spray a few more trash words, but the referee's whistle sounded, and he was about to kick the bottom line.

On the left near baseline, Billups stood on the baseline and was ready to serve, 0.6 seconds was too short, so there was only one chance.

The fans in the front row all shouted and tried to complete the interference and cooperate with the players to defend.

Pierce hugged Li You again, and in the face of the opponent's kraft candy defense, Li You first slid to the left in the middle of the pull, and the moment Billups threw the ball to the bottom corner of the right side according to the predetermined tactics, Li You secretly pushed and then quickly ran back.

Suddenly accelerating, Pierce first lost half of his body, and then immediately jumped up in advance to block it!

In the bottom corner of the right side, Li You did not pause at the moment when he received the ball, and while his body drifted to the right, he threw the ball high in the air.

Passing Pierce's fingertips, the basketball arced in the air.

The moment Li You made a shot, the buzz of the final court immediately sounded, perhaps because the arc of the basketball was too perfect, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Paul Pearce lost his center of gravity after landing on the ground and fell directly in front of Li You, and before he could stand up, the screams of the fans in the front row could be heard in his ears.

"Ahh

Narrator Mike Gorman subconsciously stood up again and shouted heartbreakingly:

“Lee——!”

"God! How did he do it!? Incredible! ”

In front of the Celtics bench, Li You still looked calm, but his right hand pointed at his left wrist and raised eyebrows at Pierce at his feet.

Antoine Walker was stupid, just like the atmosphere group on the bench, just stared blankly at Li You posing for X, and then subconsciously muttered:

"Does God really love him?"

Pierce, who was lying on the floor, forgot to get up for a while, just opened his mouth wide and watched the Knicks everyone hug Li You and celebrate wildly.

The referee could only return to the technical table again, replay it, and confirm whether Li You's goal was overtimed, and waited for two minutes before the referee signaled that the goal was valid, and the game was officially over!

At 98:95, with Li You's magical three-pointer in the final moment, the Knicks avoided a two-game losing streak.

Coach Pitino on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly, in a good situation, the result was still losing, and if he lost a few more games, he would be completely out of class.

At the press conference after the game, Pierce pulled a face, the horse is gone!

Soon a reporter asked what Li You said at the last moment, and Pierce didn't pick it up, but responded truthfully:

"It's a man's matchup, Lee told me he's going to hit a shot in the bottom right corner, and I accept the challenge, but God is on his side tonight."

"I can feel the gap between us is closing, the Knicks are losing their dominance, and the Celtics have a chance to win a championship this year!"

“.”

Lee Woo's magical three-pointer swept ESPN's Sports Center, and many fans forgot about the vote for the time being, and chanted again after reading Lee Woo's data:

"Knicks Championship!"

Played 41 minutes, 14-of-25, 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-9 from the free throw line, 41 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

Fans were greeted with flashy stats, and commentators realized that Billups still hadn't adapted to the team.

It's hard to get away with a rookie team, which has rarely happened in the past few seasons.

The 11th happened to be Saturday, and in the TNT program, in addition to reviewing Li You's wonderful kill, don't forget to analyze the content of the game.

Charles Barkley adapted quickly after joining the show, and the big mouth was unsparing in pointing out the Knicks' problems:

"They always let Ewing go first in the first quarter, and Ben Wallace, who came off the bench, didn't improve on his finishing this season."

"The Knicks lack a dominant big man, they still have the best backcourt combination in the league, but basketball is five-man."

In the studio, Buckley, who was sitting on the couch, said that the inside line was not good.

Kenny Smith had another good word for the veteran at this time:

'It's not Ewing because he doesn't play a lot of minutes, only at home for more than 30 minutes.

"The slow heat was the reason for the lack of dominance in the game, and the opening fixture was Alan Houston and Lewis covering the catch and shooting."

"If you don't shoot, the opponent will take the opportunity to counterattack, so as long as the start is not good, the Knicks will fall into a tug-of-war."

"Maybe Lee should control the tempo and let the team slow down, instead of playing faster and faster like he is now."

The two soon started a new round of arguments, and finally Ernnie Johnson had to interrupt:

"I need to remind you two that the Knicks have the best record in the league at the moment!"

"Tonight they're going to face the Hornets and I don't think they're going to bother them too much."

"Judging by the results, the choice to attack was the right one."

"With the current staffing, it is difficult for the Knicks to play the low post offense of the past, on the contrary, Lee amplified their advantage, relying on more rounds, and many games were big wins over opponents."

Kenny Smith shrugged, he had nothing to say about the results, and finally sighed:

"The whole team is playing around Lee, it's the rhythm he likes, and I don't think there will be much change even if Grant Hill comes back from injury in the future."

Charles Barkley laughed out loud when he heard this, and then said seriously:

"Kenny, that's the prerogative of a superstar, he has 3 FMVPs, is it up to Lee to fit in with the others? What do we play hard to get honors for? ”

“.”

Li You, whose usage rate has further increased, holds the ball in his hand, even if the hand feeling is not good, even if his teammates perform across, Excel is even more perfect.

Professional ball critics can naturally see that the whole team is serving Li You, and this "blood-sucking" style of play is naturally controversial.

On the defensive end, since most of the team's No. 1 position is playing soy sauce, Li You basically fishes.

The energy saved was used on the offensive end, and a large number of blocks and breakaways made Li You's assists look particularly beautiful.

On the night of the 11th, the Hornets challenged the Knicks away, and the team entered a rebuilding period, and the new Byron Davis has secured the starting position this season.

Li You also watched the TV show, and in response to public opinion, the defensive end of the game at night made some efforts.

From the beginning of the game, Byron Davis looked confused, Li You tore the lead defense throughout the whole process, and under a lot of physical confrontation, he didn't even get a chance to shoot in the first quarter of the game.

At 17:31, at the end of the first quarter of the game, the New York fans on the scene were happy again, and the game was comfortable to watch, and everyone liked to abuse the vegetable game!

Back on the bench, Byron Davis was still in a state of bewilderment:

"I haven't offended anyone!"

Although the Hornets made the playoffs, his presence has not been strong, and his playing time in the playoffs has been further compressed.

There was no suspense at the beginning of the game, but fortunately in the second quarter of the game, Byron Davis regained some face.

It's just that with the 3rd quarter of the game, Li You led the defense again, and the Hornets hit the iron, and after 7:28 in the single quarter, Byron Davis's mentality exploded.

In the end, 74:108, the Knicks once again blinded the opponent with a furious three-pointer.

Played 41 minutes, 4 of 16, 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 turnovers, after the game, Byron Davis hugged Li You with straight eyes, and subconsciously said:

"Lee, I didn't say anything bad about you"

Li You patted the other party hard, and then said in a low voice with a smile on his face:

"Yes, but sometimes we can't help ourselves, and the next time you come to New York, you can text me in advance."

A big victory, once again left the vast majority of ball critics speechless, and for New York fans and New York media, it was almost shouting "let him suck"!

The high number of rounds leads to beautiful basketball, and the stats and wins make James Dolan smile from ear to ear.

On MSG, no one can criticize Lee You, and in New York, reporters who are invited to interview cannot speak ill of Lee Woo, which has become an internal rule.

On October 13, the NBA league announced the Player of the Week for the second week of the new season, and the Knicks' Lee Woo successfully won the award:

In Week 2, the Knicks had a 3-1 record;

Li You played an average of 36.0 minutes per game, averaging 31.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.8 turnovers per game;

He is averaging 19.8 shots per game and shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 6.0 attempts per game from beyond the three-point line and 44.7 percent from three-point range, and 9.0 free throws per game and 91.9 percent from the free throw line.

The Nets' Stephen Marbury also played against the sky, averaging 34.7 points per game, shooting 59.4% from the field and 45% from three-point range.

Losing the best of the week, Marbury didn't hold back, and before the game against the Trail Blazers that night, he couldn't help but complain to the media:

"The league should pay attention to the players in the small ball market, and I am the best player in the league in this week's game!"

The best of the week is a small honor for Lee Yo, but for a three-nil player like Marbury, the best of the week is very important.

Li You can offend people every time he awards him, after all, there is only one award, and all players in the league are in a state of competition, and "brother basketball" is not popular at this time.

Ewing's "tour" is not bad, at least the data is passable, and every time he meets old friends in a city, he does not lose face.

The gorilla can also be regarded as a "bloodsucker" Li You

Before preparing for the trip to the West, Marbury's complaint was rebuffed by the "old-timer" Ewing:

"Young players don't always think about these accolades, Lee doesn't care about the best of the week and the stats, the only thing we want is to win."

“.”

Half a month into November, Grant Hill has also fully adapted to life in New York, and every home game, there will be a large number of fans asking for a group photo.

New York fans love good-looking players, and Grant Hill's "elegant violence" is loved by local fans.

Every time he plays a home game, Grant Hill can attract many fans to buy tickets to watch the game as long as he sits on the sidelines.

The all-star ticket kings are all selected by the fans, even if there is some moisture in individual years, but the high popularity is real.

On the morning of the 14th, at the Talitown Training Center, Jeff Van Gundy comforted the "mascot":

"You don't have to rush back to the pitch, you just need to follow the recovery plan given by the team doctor and go through the rehabilitation and check-ups."

"There's no need to fly around away from home, you can watch the video of the game that assistant coach Thibodeau has prepared for you when you have time."

"Knowing more about the Knicks' tactical play will help you integrate into the team more quickly in the later stages."

Although Artest's three-point shot is a bit stretched, in general, it is just right for the current Knicks.

Grant Hill was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do about the ankle injury, and he could only whisper when he heard the manager's words:

"I'll be ready, I just hope I can officially get back on the court before the All-Star break!"

“.”

On the night of the 14th, the Knicks, who had just flown to Seattle, were not affected too much by the journey, and once again gave the out-of-form SuperSonics a big defeat.

At 106:88, the Knicks were still clocking in in the third quarter.

After Glen Rice joined the SuperSonics, the team's strength did not rise but fell, and after losing this game, the SuperSonics' record came to 2-7.

If he continues to lose, the Westphall head coach is likely to be dismissed directly, after all, there must always be a backstabber in the team.

After back-to-back wins over the Clippers on the road, the Knicks also ushered in the highlight of the week.

On the evening of the 17th, the Knicks visited Phoenix City and continued their road trip.

The "point guard showdown" was a pre-game gimmick from NBC broadcasters.

Naturally, Suns fans are shelling out tickets for tickets, after all, they can only see two of these games in a season.

The Suns have also been in excellent form since the start of the game, with a 7-1 record, playing at home, and in an interview in the locker room before the game, Kidd also confidently stated:

"We don't care who our opponents are, we just play the way we do best!"

"We're going to give the fans a win tonight!"

The Suns signed veteran Mario Elli in the offseason while also bringing in Tony Decker.

Winning streaks are naturally inseparable from the performance of the old and the young, but after the start of tonight's game, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

After the game began, Clifford Robinson successfully jumped to the ball for the Suns, and the Western Arena burst into jubilation.

After Kidd took control of the ball, he did not rush through half the court, but pushed forward slowly, while raising his left hand and making tactical gestures.

Somewhat similar to the Knicks' tactics, in the first round, the Suns also played a high pick-and-roll.

No sooner had Clifford Robinson settled at the top of the arc than Kidd quickly made a putt change of direction and left hand for the left side of the game.

Lee Woo quickly squeezed through the screen, and while suddenly giving a physical confrontation, he sliced the ball from behind Kidd.

The risky steal had a good effect, and the moment Li You cut the ball successfully, the Suns fans on the scene exclaimed.

Kidd wanted to turn around and chase after him, but Lee Woo rushed too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the halfway line.

Accelerated to chase the defense, but Kidd could only watch Li You rush into the paint area and jump with his feet and then slammed a powerful windmill slam slam!

"Boom!"

The hoop roared, the dunk was extremely powerful, and soon the boos resounded in the arena.

After making a mistake in the first round, Kidd didn't seem to expect Lee Woo's defensive aggression to be so strong, re-catching the ball from the baseline, and starting to be cautious when dribbling past half court.

Marion, who had 19 points, 19 rebounds, 4 steals, 5 blocks and 3 turnovers in the last game against the Mavericks, was very active in the offense.

Slipped from left to right and quickly reversed, came to the right blocking position, received a pass from Kidd, Marion immediately released the ball, and held the ball in his left hand against Artest's pursuit and went straight to the basket.

The simple and rough attack method was naturally easily predicted, Ewing who was squatting in the pit moved, and Artest, who was chasing the defense, made a dark effort behind him, and the two surrounded him, and Marion threw in advance between the marches, and the result was a rage.

Seeing Ewing grab the rebound, everyone on the Suns immediately retreated, and everyone gave up rushing for the rebounds in the frontcourt.

After Li You received the ball, Kidd stepped forward to delay, but the defense did not affect the speed of advancement, and he was still chased by the ass to play a semi-conversion attack.

The top of the arc was far away from the three-point line, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, immediately stopped urgently, took advantage of Kidd's defense to grab it, and immediately turned quickly.

At the same time as switching to the right hand, the ball protector exerted force, and the two fought with their hands, and Li You accelerated in a straight line and suddenly got rid of Kidd.

Cleverd Robinson, who was squatting under the basket, watched Li You's breakthrough in the middle and rushed to the paint area, and subconsciously moved his steps, only to see that the free throw line was just one step over, and Li You leaned on Kidd to immediately complete a one-handed throw!

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

Hearing the boos that resounded in the arena, Bob Costas in the NBC commentary box followed with a loud praise:

"Li predicted the actions of the opponent's big man on the inside, and it was really the perfect offensive rhythm!"

Doug Collins on the side noticed that Kidd had quickened the pace of the offense, and subconsciously reminded him:

"Running with the Knicks is not the right offensive option."

As soon as the words fell, it was also a semi-conversion offense, Kidd relied on his own body, chased his ass and rushed through the halfcourt, hanging on Li You's defense, and made a strong layup in the paint area

Under the interference, the basketball knocked out of the frame, and after landing, Li You reacted quickly, grabbed the rebound with the second jump, and then rushed with the ball.

Ewing, who had just returned from retreat, simply stopped at this time, watched Li You throw the ball vigorously without crossing the halfway line, and found Alan Houston, who rushed to the right flank.

The latter received the ball, the veteran Mario Leeley was still chasing behind him, and Alan Houston was not soft, and after a slight adjustment, he raised the ball and threw it!

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

At 7:0, the head coach of Skyls on the sidelines looked ugly, and his pre-game customized game plan was not like this.

Constantly gesturing to press down, head coach Skeles motioned for the Suns to slow down.

Soon, the Suns, who were trying to slow down the pace of the game, began to bang again.

Marion was put up by Artest, and every time he received the ball outside the three-point line, the breakthrough with the ball was always broken.

With 7:30 left in the first quarter, the Suns finally scored with Mario Elli's free throws.

At 13:2, the Suns' slow-paced offense did not narrow the difference

As Kidd began to make low-level passing errors, Coach Skels on the sidelines found that the game was completely out of control, and the timeout could not solve the problem, and could only watch the Knicks play faster and faster.

With 2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You did not use the help of the block, and still broke through with his left hand after turning at the top of the arc.

Daniel Saint-Tiago, the big man who came off the bench, seemed to have forgotten about Ewing behind him, and went straight to the defense with excessive assistance.

As he went, Lee leaned on Kidd's and threw the ball high into the upper right of the basket in the paint area before the opponent could form a bag.

With no one on his side, Ewing jumped up and easily fished the ball and poured his hands into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!

At 28:10, the Western Arena was completely silent, and the Suns fans seemed in disbelief that they had lost so much in one quarter

Ewing, who completed the dunk, threw his fist excitedly, and the cake was comfortable, but his physical fitness couldn't keep up, and he began to gasp for breath when he retreated.

Seeing Kidd make another mistake with the inside drop ball after blocking and dismantling, Doug Collins on the commentary bench suddenly sighed and said:

"As long as Lee wants to defend, his defensive strength is definitely above the league average!"

There were three turnovers in a single quarter, which is not common with Kidd, and Bob Costas also nodded slightly, followed by praise:

"I think it has something to do with the alignment, most of the time, Lee is only responsible for defending the number 1 position, plus the players have limited energy, I understand Coach Van Gundy's positioning of Lee."

The two chatted on the commentary bench, and on the Suns' bench, they could only watch Li You stand on the free throw line again.

Tony Decke, who came off the bench, had a bitter face, raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem, shot too hastily, and the long rebound was received by Li You and was counterattacked

The Knicks were on the bench, and Jeff Van Gundy, who was on hang-up, smiled and sat firmly in his seat.

Although the game did not meet his expectations, it is always a good thing to win and sometimes the process is not important.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 34:14, and this point guard's strong conversation ended just at the beginning.

Kidd, who returned to the bench, was in a particularly bad mood, with a lot of turnovers, which, combined with a desperate slowdown, led to the Suns taking just 13 shots in the first quarter of the game.

After the start of the second quarter, Kidd did not rest, and at the same time, he did not give Coach Skels a good look, and returned to the usual rhythm of the game.

Soon Kidd's stats began to slowly rise again, and the rebounds and assists returned!

With a big lead, in the second half of the second quarter, Li You started the blind chicken mess play mode, and the two sides began to attack each other, and the Suns fans also regained their vitality, and they still happily cheered for the home team after the big score.

It turns out that not only New York fans love to watch offense, but also Suns fans have completely recovered after watching the offensive battle.

Towards the end of the half, in the transition attack, Li You rushed to the right flank, sent the ball forward with his right hand, and then "scissored step" with his feet, while pulling the ball with his left hand.

The fancy action made the Suns fans at the scene subconsciously cheer, and Bob Costas in the commentary box also shouted:

“OMG——! ClayGod! ”

"It's wonderful! Lee easily passed the defense! ”

Marion, who retreated, was stunned in place, suddenly changed direction, completely lost the defensive position, and watched Li You stick the ball straight into the basket with his left hand, and the unguarded easily came to a gliding slam!

Many fans at the scene directly defected, and the beautiful goal made everyone start shouting loudly:

“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”

When most teams in the league are still attacking with their backs, feeding the ball to the inside, and pursuing defense on positional offense, the Knicks' pursuit of conversion offense and the pursuit of personal ability naturally makes fans addicted.

Until Li You retreated, Marion was still in place, and it seemed difficult to understand how Li You made such a complex and practical overmanship.

"Want to learn? Come to my bootcamp and I can teach you these moves without reservation! ”

There were too many points ahead, and Li You, who had retreated to the middle line, also made a joke, but Marion took it seriously and even asked seriously:

"Bro, how much is the tuition, I like the passing action just now!"

Kidd, who had dribbled past half of the court, turned black and shouted to his teammates to take position, interrupting the small talk between the two, only to make another mistake when he blocked the ball in the middle and split the ball into the bottom corner.

The basketball flew straight out of the baseline, and on the Knicks bench, Kurt Thomas held the ball and laughed weirdly.

The Suns' last offense ended with a mistake, and watching Li You's ultra-long three-point shot out of the basket, there was another burst of exclamations in the arena.

At 60:34, after halftime, the game completely lost suspense.

The two in the commentary table had already been chatting for a long time, and at this time Doug Collins even began to quip:

"In basketball, as long as you score more points than your opponent, you can win!"

"The regular season has just begun, and I can't confirm the Knicks' defensive form this year, but I would say that on the night when they were all on the line, they did play with an unstoppable momentum."

This really makes sense, and Bob Costas chuckled when he heard it, and along with the topic, he simply said seriously:

"Defense wins championships, and the Knicks have been at the top of the defensive end for the past three seasons."

"Even last season, when the dominance on the defensive end declined, the points conceded were still in the top 10 in the league."

"Maybe Lee can lead the team to play good basketball in the regular season, but in the playoffs, I still stick to my old opinion."

In the second half of the game, the two could see that the two sides had entered a state of "honesty and mutual brushing", and they did not follow the commentary in every round, but simply chatted and farted and talked about gossip.

Kidd, who was black-faced all the time, finally found some touch in the third quarter, and Lee Yoo also relaxed his defense, allowing the surface brothers to take more stats.

It's just that Li You still underestimated Kidd's ability to "brush" data, and while the rebounds rose, the number of assists also increased with the risky passes.

While the mistakes continued, Kidd had a chance to reach a triple-double.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Li You had already rested, and Kidd was still struggling on the court.

With 7:01 left in the game after assisting Marion to hit a three-pointer, Coach Skels finally called a timeout and Kidd was rested.

Glancing at the cardinal statistics, Doug Collins raised an eyebrow, glanced at his partner, and said with a strange expression:

"It was a great game, congratulations to Jason Kidd for reaching four double-doubles and 14 turnovers, tying the highest number of turnovers in his career."

5-of-12, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line, 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 14 turnovers, Kidd managed to hit a "quadruple-double".

Bob Costas also didn't say that Kidd brushed the data in the national live broadcast, so he could only change the topic and praise Li You's performance:

"Playing 30 minutes, 28 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, Lee once again proved his ability on the defensive end."

"I don't want to judge too much about the Knicks' style of play, but if it can bring victory to the team, I think the fans will support Lee!"

9 of 16, 2 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, 8 of 8 from the free throw line, and the away "abuse" game, without taking care of Ewing, Li You is particularly efficient.

In the end, 114:90, the Knicks easily won this "strong conversation".

Losing a regular season game is really not a big deal, but Kidd, who has achieved a "quadruple-double", only feels that he is embarrassed, and after a simple handshake after the game, he turns around and leaves.

On the contrary, Marion carefully wrote down Li You's phone number, and the newcomer seemed to really plan to go to training camp in the offseason to experience it.

There were still New York fans away from home, and Li You walked to the players' tunnel and waved to everyone, causing everyone to scream again.

After winning against the Suns, before Thanksgiving, the Knicks' opponents were all fish belly teams, and everyone could also prepare for the holiday in advance.

The game was broadcast live in the United States, and the press conference after the game was naturally attended by Li You.

"Lee, can you talk about your defense tonight? We've all seen Kidd make 14 turnovers! ”

The news of the "four doubles" is sure to sweep the major sports media tonight, and the NBC reporter sat down with a smile after asking the question.

"Like tonight, if I can bring a win to the team, of course I'm going to give it my all defensively."

"But basketball is a five-man game, and a lot of times, I have opponents who can't be limited."

"As you can see, if you can't respond defensively, I want to win the game with offense!"

Seeing Li You's serious answer, the ESPN reporter on the other side asked in a matter-of-fact manner:

"If the opponent is the Lakers, will the Knicks stick to this game strategy?"

When Li You heard such a question, he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders:

"Of course, as long as we score more points than our opponents, we can win the game, and that's a basketball truth!"
