On June 11, 2001, the NBA league couldn't wait to announce the number of viewers of the finals, and the highest number of viewers in overtime reached 36 million+.

Such data is already on par with the number of viewers in the early 90s when the NBA was in its prime, and it is clear that the melon-eating masses prefer ups and downs.

Li You was super ghost in the first half and super god in the second half, such a magical performance also made many fans addicted!

After last night's game, the sports media climaxed on the spot, with two records in one game, which seemed to remind everyone of the glory days of the early 90s.

Since the G6 game will be played on the 12th, there is not much time left for the two teams to recuperate, the Knicks flew back to New York overnight, and the Lakers officially set off in the morning.

The next games will all be played at Madison Square Garden, and after surviving the road trip, the Knicks also saw the light of day.

In TNT's morning show, the trio discussed last night's game again, and Charles Barkley laughed and looked particularly happy:

"Now Shaq should be able to relate to my feelings, maybe he is the strongest big man on the planet at the moment, but his opponent is not an earthling."

"Lee changed the game, I'm talking about it, he changed some of the way people think about basketball, last night's win, I prefer to call it a miracle!"

"God may really favor some people, and it's hard to imagine how Lee managed to make those difficult shots."

Kenny Smith followed with a nod and rarely did not refute his partner's point of view, and in the fourth quarter of G5, the Lakers made 19 of 24 free throws in a single quarter.

The explosive penalty is terrifying, and anyone who sees it will be numb.

In this case, Li You not only resisted the pressure and responded frantically, but also broke the opponent in overtime, and the most discerning ball critics could not ask for more.

With the finals still going on, the sports media will not discuss the issue of blowing penalties too much in the league's footsteps.

But the facts that have happened will not change, and it can be expected that when the finals are officially over, there will definitely be a large number of reporters turning over old accounts.

The consequence of losing "playing more and playing less" is that you don't want to get praise for a few years.

Kenny Smith also didn't talk about the art of refereeing, and there was plenty of time to discuss these things in the off-season, continuing to turn the conversation to the game:

"Can we expect more from the Lakers? Shaq and Kobe Bryant have done their best, and I don't know how they're going to adjust in the next games. ”

17-of-29, 11-of-17 free throws, 45 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers;

Although O'Neal scored 3 points in overtime, his overall performance was still excellent.

13-of-28, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 10-of-13 from the free throw line, 38 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 4 turnovers;

Kobe Bryant scored 4 points in overtime and has done his best, and it is difficult to put the pot on his head if he loses.

Ernnie Johnson has long noticed that the Lakers' play in this game is actually very good, and he can't comment on the question of how to adjust:

"When they return to their home court, the Knicks will also gain some advantages, and if they want to tie the big score, the most important thing for the Lakers is defense."

"However, Lee played 52 minutes in G5, and the next game will be a huge test for his physical fitness."

The two people on the side heard about the fitness problem, and they shook their heads together, and Li You, who was plagued by some fouls, played less than 40 minutes in two games.

Although he didn't want to talk about the penalty scale, Charles Barkley still teased the Lakers at this time:

'I didn't take my chances at home, I lost match points, and when I got away, I'm sure Lee would respond.

"I'm more worried about Shaq's fitness, this guy is fatter this year!"

“.”

Last night's loss almost made the Lakers collectively break the defense, Phil Jackson lost his celebrity demeanor again, and after the game, he didn't look at Jeff Van Gundy, who was celebrating wildly, and got up and left directly.

At the press conference after the game, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were dark throughout the whole process, and in the face of the covert sarcasm of the media reporters in the audience, they responded formulaically:

"We're going to win it back, the Lakers are going to win the championship!"

“.”

After flying to New York in the morning, the Lakers didn't give too many interviews, but everyone was almost blown up after seeing the New York Post column:

"Basketball doesn't lie!"

Although the whole article is touting the performance of the Knicks, the "adversity" mentioned is a covert mockery of the opponent's "more play less".

The headline in the sports section of the New York Times was even more interesting, showing a photo of Kobe Bryant being shaken down and Lee Yoo closing the ball with his head bowed and smiling, and the op-ed read:

"Lee beats the second" Jordan "! ”

In addition to reporting Li You's finals record, the rest are yin and yang weird ball reviews.

Just one night, many sports reporters secretly complained in private, and even many people agreed with the views of the New York media:

"The Lakers stole two wins."

As long as the Knicks win the championship, the "reckoning" moment will come, and the end of the Finals will also need to be hot, and then it will be the turn of the New York media and sponsors to strike hard.

Interestingly, everyone knows that Kobe Bryant and McGrady are competing for the position of Adidas' "big brother", and the failure in this year's Finals will inevitably affect the next contract.

The Lakers who came to New York were forced to keep a low profile, but the Knicks did not refuse interviews at this time.

The winner has more right to speak, Li You will not complain about the penalty at all, and after returning to the home field, there will naturally be someone to serve.

Jeff Van Gundy had long wanted to spray the old man of "KFC" opposite, and today he changed his usual outfit and wore a neat suit at the Tarrytown Training Center

The video lesson told the players to live naturally to the assistant coach, and Jeff Van Gundy was interviewed in the morning:

"I don't feel the charm of competitive sports in my opponents!"

"Phil is a good guy, but he didn't show grace last night and I didn't even get to see him after the game."

"With 55 points in a single game and 10 three-pointers, Lee has won everyone's respect through his absolute strength!"

"I don't like the Lakers' home court, but God always favors Lee, he's the all-time best in my heart, and after tonight's game, I want to see the Lakers show respect."

'They should know what they are based on and I don't want to judge the performance of our opponents because we're going to be ready for the award ceremony.'

The media reporters in New York laughed when they heard this, and the bald young marshal was right, and the rehearsal for the award ceremony had indeed begun.

David Stern doesn't have to fly around anymore, anyway, the headquarters is in New York, and the home awards are particularly convenient.

The bald young marshal continued to output, although he still restrained himself from spraying the referee, but he sprayed the Lakers all over the place.

Feng Shui takes turns, and in the early years, Phil Jackson and Mai Buckle mocked him, and then it was Van Gundy's turn to fight back.

If it weren't for the maintenance of his handsome demeanor, Jeff Van Gundy would probably laugh wildly and declare directly to many sports media:

"Phil Jackson is an old liar!"

When Li You appeared in the media center of the Talitown Training Center wearing a training vest, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Lee, talk about your 55 points! This is the highest score since Elgin Baylor scored 61 points in 1962, which is incredible! ”

"Finals three-point record, Lee, tell me how you rebounded in the second half?"

"G6 game, will you lead the Knicks to the end of the series?"

“.”

Since there was no press officer at the scene, everyone rushed up and put the microphone in front of Li You, trying to get the first-hand news.

Although Lee Woo had already answered some questions at last night's press conference, the sports media, which likes to report on the record, felt that it was not enough.

With 55 points in the finals, this record is difficult to surpass, there are too many prerequisites, and it requires extremely high personal ability.

Li You was in a good mood, answered many questions one by one, and finally teased himself:

"If you get 55 points and lose, you don't want to listen to my story here, I really like the feeling of winning!"

"In the offseason, Nike and ESPN will do a personal documentary about me, and NBC will do a documentary about the Knicks."

"You can pay attention, I promise, the content of the documentary is something that has never been reported!"

Hearing that Li You advertised for the documentary, everyone responded with a smile, and if it achieves four consecutive championships, the documentary will definitely be a big hit.

On the other side, Grant Hill, who was interviewed, also began to talk about the problem of blowing penalty scales, and when he returned to the home court, he naturally had to put pressure on the referee:

"Even though I had a great game last night, I didn't like some controversial blows."

"In the fourth quarter, the Lakers made a lot of free throws, and I don't want to recall how many times they made them, I just knew that some of the penalties were unreasonable."

"We try to control the defensive movement, but basketball is always a confrontational game, with both hands on the defense? This is absolutely unacceptable. ”

The New York reporters around him all nodded their heads, and everyone felt that it made sense when they heard Grant Hill's speech.

Alan Houston, who is in contract year, has also been in the spotlight lately, scoring a team-high 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting, 2-of-6 from beyond the three-point line and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line last night.

The three-point shot in the fourth quarter also left a deep impression on the fans, and in an interview, in addition to expressing his willingness to stay in New York, he did not forget to give the Lakers eye medicine:

"Basketball doesn't lie, and I agree with Lee that penalties are part of the game."

"But now that we're back at home, the Lakers don't want to score easily at Madison Square Garden."

Maybe the "OK" combination can still contribute 80 points together, but the championship belongs to the Knicks. ”

"We are ready for our sixth championship!"

On Tuesday the 12th, three hours before the start of the game, a large number of fans were already gathered around the stadium.

The impact was that the traffic was not smooth, and even though the city hall had been prepared, the number of fans exceeded expectations.

As the broadcaster, NBC usually warms up the game an hour before the game, showing the city by the way.

The game officially started at 21 o'clock in the evening, and when I interviewed the fans in advance, I encountered a lot of difficulties.

"Fakrex! Fak O'Neill! Fack Kobe! ”

"Despicable thief! Shameless actors! Fisher is going to get beaten out of tonight! ”

"You'll never win! The god of basketball will never favor a despicable thief! ”

“.”

Wearing the Knicks' home jersey and past championship hats, seeing the camera is an output, and then not forgetting to shout excitedly.

Those who screamed bare-chested, drank and squirted wildly, and sucked in the air every day

Maybe these people don't have tickets in their hands and can't enter the stadium to watch the game, but it doesn't delay the fans to have fun in front of the camera.

Basketball in New York is very strong, and although some of the street players at the bottom of the street team don't have much money, they are all good players

There are a lot of people who carry speakers and hold microphones to pretend to be forced, and the "chain family" chanting and scolding the Lakers wildly along with the music has attracted a large number of musicians.

Maybe some people don't like Li You's style, but everyone likes victory and is in awe of the American sword, in short, everyone at the bottom of the ball yearns for Li You's achievements.

The crazy demons dancing off the court made the NBC broadcaster big for a while, and in the end they could only "pinch this section and don't broadcast it".

An hour before the start of the game, Ray Allen entered early, and after greeting Li You, when asked about Kobe Bryant-related questions in an interview, he became a straight boy again:

"I've long said that the backcourt in the Western Conference is weaker than everyone thinks."

"The Western team doesn't know Lee's strength at all, Kobe Bryant can shoot 50% in the Western Conference Finals, but look at his performance now, the series is over, it's still the regular season level."

"He wouldn't be where he is if he hadn't played next to Shaq."

"I don't understand why he can get more attention, and in the Eastern Conference, there are a lot of backcourt players to keep an eye on."

"He's not Mai Buckle! Maybe his movements are somewhat similar, but he doesn't have the influence of Mai Buckle. ”

"In my opinion, he's been overrated, and if you want to discuss it with Lee, he needs to win an MVP trophy first."

Ray Allen's serious look made the New York media chuckle.

In this year's playoffs, although he lost to the 76ers, Ray Allen has good personal data and excellent efficiency, and as a result, after so many days in the Eastern Conference semifinals, no one has discussed his performance.

Ray Allen, who has a lemon in his heart, gets a chance to output a pass, and the Los Angeles reporter looks ugly when he hears it.

Lee You's big brothers also came to the arena, and Oakley, Larry Johnson, and Starks were bragging and farting around Ewing:

"Pat, the 4th championship of your career, and when we talk about the big four centers in the future, you will definitely crush those soft eggs!"

Starks, who was wearing a floral shirt, immediately caused several people to laugh when he said this.

Larry Johnson, who was dressed coolly and wore only a white short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, touched his bald head and sighed:

"That's God's favor, and if Pat had chosen to leave New York, he wouldn't have received these honors, and God really loves us."

Oakley lost to the Wizards, and recently followed McDunk to New York to prepare for the draft, and his mood has recovered a lot.

Seeing Ewing's mellow smiling face, Oakley shouted encouragement:

"Those hellish referees always want to manipulate the game, and the league is the same, go back to the home court and give the group of soft eggs in Los Angeles some color!"

"Shet! When I saw that kid who likes to fake falls, I wanted to go on the court and give him two punches! ”

Lee Yow and Alan Houston had just finished dealing with reporters when they came here and heard Oakley boxing "Little Fish".

stepped forward and hugged the good big brothers one by one, and hammered the gorilla next to him, Li You responded with a relaxed expression:

"Times are different, and although it's only been a few years, the league doesn't want to see the finals turn into a 'boxing match', but Charles is right, tonight should really teach the other side a lesson! ”

"Oh!"

Larry Johnson cheered, followed by a boxing stance, and pulled Lee Yoo to giggle and practice twice.

Ewing looked at his familiar teammates, laughed on the side, hugged Oakley beside him, and whispered happily:

"I really have no regrets in my career!"

Although Li You sent away the good big brothers, everyone didn't care about it, there was a champion, and it was more than enough to be a part-time commentator after retiring.

The higher Li You's achievements, the more people will talk about in the future, and the retired incarnation of Li You, at least he can blow for more than ten years, no matter how good he is, it is not a problem to work for the Knicks.

Back to the home game, the situation is naturally completely different, and there are a lot of old names in the Knicks team, and before the game starts, the interview in the past two days has become a big mouth, and from time to time angry at the referee.

Although Phil Jackson is also a Knicks celebrity, the old guys have shown no mercy, and the championship coach is still sprayed.

In less than two days, Bryant once again experienced what it was like to be bombarded by the media.

"Botched Copycat", "Thief", "Soft Egg Basketball", "Data Brush", "Team Cancer", "Overrated".

All kinds of titles were smashed on the head, the Knicks got the match point, and some New York media outlets were already starting to let themselves go.

O'Neill is also uncomfortable, he used to giggle and brag with his teammates, but since he came to New York, he has been pulling a big face.

In terms of the ability to turn over old accounts, the New York media is definitely among the best, frequently turning over the experience of being swept away, and the cautious shark is also angry enough.

Half an hour before the game began, Madison Square Garden was already boiling.

Being able to witness a historic moment excites New York fans.

From time to time, many people look up at the streamers and 5 championship flags that are about to fall over the arena, and the journey of these seasons feels like a dream.

The arena became particularly noisy, and on the NBC commentary bench, Doug Collins had already said a lot of tactical problems before the game, but before the game was about to start, he suddenly sighed:

"If Mai Kou didn't choose to retire that year, I don't know if there is a chance to achieve four consecutive championships."

"Now the Knicks are just one win away from that achievement."

Marv Albert was happy to see his home team claim the award again, and he couldn't help but praise the Knicks:

"From Ewing's time to Lee's arrival, the Knicks have completed their metamorphosis."

"Li is only 23 years old, his career has just begun, this is his time!"

“.”

Naturally, the Lakers won't give up, and perhaps Phil Jackson's chicken soup has played a role.

Or perhaps it was the news of the past two days that stimulated the self-esteem of the players, and after the game began, the Lakers were the first to enter the game.

In the second quarter, the game suddenly broke out, scoring 30 points in a single quarter, and in the third quarter, it once again played a tough response ball, forcing the Knicks to fail to chase the points.

78:73, after the third quarter, the Knicks still trailed by 5 points.

During the break, the New York fans at the scene were not affected in any way, and continued to cheer along to the music, as long as the difference did not exceed 15 points, everyone had the confidence of being confused

On the Lakers bench, Kobe Bryant showed another "vicious posture", and tonight he shot wildly, not thinking about passing at all, and only looking at the basket.

The past two days have been stimulated to the point that his mentality almost exploded, and tonight Kobe Bryant just wants to prove himself through the game, he needs a victory.

11-of-20 from the field, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and too many long two-pointers still didn't pull down Kobe's shooting percentage, and he had scored a team-high 24 points in the third quarter.

Despite O'Neal's displeasure, the team maintained the lead and could only press the dissatisfaction.

Phil Jackson also knows that success or failure is a matter of success, and if he can drag the game into a tie-break, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose:

"Very good! Hold on a little longer, we have to keep up this attacking rhythm and believe in each other! ”

Sensing the head coach's gaze, O'Neill nodded slightly, the number of shots is limited, as long as he can win, he doesn't mind being a "little shark".

After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers took the lead in attacking, and Madison Square Garden once again sounded the sound of defensive cheers:

“Defense！.”

Fisher, who was wearing a headband, received the ball on the bottom line and gave the ball to Kobe Bryant on the other side without waiting for Li You to lead the defense, and then took Li You straight to the bottom left corner.

Kurt Thomas watched as Horry's pestle in the bottom right corner didn't move, and Ben Wallace noticed that O'Neal wasn't desperately asking for the ball.

The two both shouted at the same time to remind the defending Alan Houston that the opponent was going to play alone.

On the right wing, Artest was aiming at Fox in front of him, while paying attention to Kobe Bryant's movement at the top of the arc, and once the opponent broke through with the ball in his right hand, he was ready to go up and grab a handful.

Bryant, who was biting his jersey, looked particularly confident, approaching the three-point line, quickly completing the crotch dribble, jumping slightly the moment he switched to his left hand, and then immediately accelerated with his shoulders heavy.

Alan Houston desperately slid to the right back, and after the two collided, before they could get close to the free throw line, Bryant suddenly stopped and immediately closed the ball.

Alan Houston, who stepped forward to pounce, just raised his hands high, and did not immediately pounce upward, shaking out the space to shoot, Kobe Bryant twisted his body on the spot and forced a jump shot!

"Huh!" Long two points hit again!

At 80:73, watching the difference come to 7 points, the Lakers bench and the atmosphere group cheered and celebrated.

"Shh

In the face of the boos of the audience, Kobe, who scored points again, also swelled a little, and took advantage of the Knicks' baseline ball to immediately shout at everyone:

"Hey! You should wrap me up! ”

Alan Houston turned his head to look at Kobe, then glanced at Li You and the others, and finally couldn't help laughing, then shook his head, ignored Kobe, and quickly ran to the halfcourt.

Li You just raised his eyebrows, and then rushed to the bottom line to serve, and signaled everyone to take turns to change defenses.

Artest, who drove the baseline ball, responded in a low voice when he passed by Kobe Bryant:

"This is Madison Square Garden, and there's no referee left to take care of you!"

“.”

Kobe Bryant didn't pay attention to Artest, glanced at the other party, and stepped forward to defend Li You.

“Let's go Knicks！.”

Defending only a few rounds in the second half, Bryant's tactical status also improved, and Phil Jackson began to take the burden off the scorer.

Trying to give a physical confrontation, but no longer unscrupulously interfering, Kobe, who has already received 4 fouls, has no head after realizing the penalty scale.

The ball in his right hand continued to accelerate, and Li You suddenly stopped when he was close to the three-point line at the top of the arc, then quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, and immediately raised his center of gravity after switching to his left hand.

Noticing that Li You's right hand seemed to be about to close the ball, Kobe Bryant subconsciously pounced forward, and the basketball passed in front of him in an instant.

Li You's hidden body changed direction very much, and the basketball flew to the right front, and he immediately leaned in to catch the ball.

Kobe Bryant, who reacted quickly, slid again, and the moment he caught the ball with his right hand, Li You completed the crotch pullback, returned to the three-point line, and closed the ball to sway.

The aiming action directly flew Kobe, and he realized that he was shaking in mid-air, and tried to twist to avoid being fouled.

Shaking off the space for his shot, Li You quickly adjusted the shooting rhythm with a slight pause, and made an easy jump shot with three points at the top of the arc!

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

At 80:76, the margin returned to 4 points.

The arena erupted in loud cheers again, and Marv-Albert also laughed and exclaimed:

"It looks like Lee has regained his touch from beyond the three-point line, which is definitely good news for the Knicks!"

Doug Collins noticed that the defender in front of Kobe Bryant had become Artest, and couldn't help but praise the bald young marshal's use:

"On a stage like the finals, with the bold use of rookies, coach Van Gundy's trust has been rewarded!"

Compared with the away game, Artest's defensive aggression has increased significantly, and Bryant, who runs without the ball, once again feels the pendant defense.

Fisher was so pressed by Li You's collar that he couldn't lift his head, half-turned, pouted to protect the ball, and dribbled past half court, 8 seconds had passed.

O'Neal knew that his little brother had a good hand, so he took the initiative to stand in the right elbow area and motioned for Kobe to cut and catch the ball.

At the top of the arc away from the three-point line, Li You also observed the Lakers' position, and noticed that Fisher began to switch to his right hand with his back to his back, and immediately moved backwards to give the opponent some passing space.

Seeing Kobe Bryant start quickly on the right side near the baseline and move to the line, the New York fans at the scene also shouted desperately:

“Defense！.”

Bryant took advantage of O'Neal's cover to get rid of Artest, and when he came to the free throw line, he began to open his hands to catch the ball.

Fisher took advantage of Li You's backwards and hurriedly sent a cross pass.

As soon as the basketball came out of his hand, Li You suddenly grabbed it fiercely, poked the ball forward with his left hand, accelerated violently, and directly hit Fisher in front of him.

Stumbled by a knock, Fisher habitually fell to the ground, exaggerated and flew a meter away on the floor, screaming and raising his hands at the same time:

"Ahh

There was no whistle, and cheers were in his ears, and Fisher, who fell to the floor, watched Li You complete the steal and rush across the half.

1 hit 0 in the front court, rushed across the three-point line, and came to the paint area, Li You jumped with both feet, picked up the ball in the air for a big circle, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and the windmill was dunked!

“Wow！”

At 80:78, the wonderful dunk and the narrowed point difference completely ignited the atmosphere of the arena, and many fans chose to get up to watch the game and wave their fists with Li You to celebrate.

On the Knicks' bench, everyone pointed at Fisher and laughed.

Fisher, who was pulled up by his teammates, saw O'Neal and Kobe Bryant glaring at him at the same time, and could only raise his hand for a while, indicating that it was his pot.

The Lakers attacked again and played the same tactic in a different direction, this time Fisher's pass was fine, but Artest did not squeeze the cover, but was ready to go down the line and jump to block Kobe's catch-and-shoot jumper.

The shot with the arc up didn't do anything either, as the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.

Ben Wallace, who was shrinking in the paint, rebounded the ball and immediately threw it to the front court.

When Lee Woo rushed past half court to catch the ball, everyone on the Lakers team also desperately chased back the defense.

On the left flank, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, only paused slightly, slowed down and completed the change of direction under his crotch, and after switching to his right hand, he crushed and broke through with Fisher, who chased the defense to his side.

As he broke to the free-throw line, Fox contracted and tried to cut the ball to interfere.

As he went, Lee Woo threw the ball to Artest, who was unguarded on the right flank.

The latter received the ball, and Fox didn't save in time, but watched Artest jump immediately after a quick stop!

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

At 80:81, he hit a three-pointer for the first time in this game, just to help the team overtake the score, Artest was so excited that he roared again and again:

"Ahh

Phil Jackson on the sidelines began to frown again, pacing back and forth, shouting a shout to remind the players to hold steady.

The Lakers did not ask for a timeout, and Kobe Bryant did not relent, and this round met Li You's top defense, and immediately asked for the ball with his back in the right blocking area.

After Fisher sent a pass, everyone in the Lakers pulled away, and Lee Woo raised his right forearm to resist the opponent while observing Kobe's movements.

Putting the ball with his left hand, Kobe Bryant began to clatter and lean on the ball, and he hit it twice in a row, and Li You also followed the rhythm behind him, and Kobe Bryant found that he began to move away from the paint area

No longer hesitated, pulled the ball back sharply with his left hand, Kobe Bryant quickly twisted forward after shaking his shoulders, and his movements were extremely chic, facing Li You's back-to-back jumper after the block.

Sealed the defense and let Kobe Bryant hit the iron again.

The rebound was flicked by O'Neal, and the shrinking Kurt Thomas finally managed to protect the backcourt rebound.

“Wow！”

When Li You received the ball, Kobe's face was even darker, his eyes were fierce and he broke through the defense, and he hit it twice, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.

"Calm down! Hey! Calm down! ”

Phil Jackson has already regretted not asking for a timeout in the last round, and can only shout at the players at the sidelines.

In the crucial round, Li You played with ease, Kurt Thomas stepped up to cover, and Horry immediately moved to help defend the pack.

On the left flank, Kurt Thomas faked a cover and quickly moved to the left elbow area, and when the ball arrived, Lee You's ground-hitting pass was just right for the opponent.

Just in the shooting rhythm, Kurt Thomas quickly jumped after receiving the ball!

At 80:83, Phil Jackson let out a sigh of anger and immediately asked for a timeout.

Li You raised his hands high, high-fived, and slowly walked to the bench, and the atmosphere team also laughed and stepped forward to pound his chest in celebration.

At the moment when the score overtook him, everyone was full of confidence.

Jeff Van Gundy was so excited that he threw away the tactical board and continued to send chicken soup wildly, the whole person seemed more nervous than the player, and kept nagging.

After the pause, Li You patted the bald young marshal on the shoulder and said confidently:

"After tonight, there will be a legendary coach in the league! Enjoy the moment! ”

hugged Li You hard, Jeff Van Gundy's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but whisper:

"Lee, I believe in you! I believe you! ”

Li You controlled some excitement in his heart, clapped his hands again, and beckoned his teammates to pay attention to defense, and the more critical the moment, the more they must stay calm.

In the first round after the timeout, the Lakers chose the safest way to attack, giving the ball to O'Neal, who also lived up to expectations, arching the left blocking area to the basket and throwing it away!

The defensive strategy also changed immediately, and Li You was caught again just after halftime.

When Alan Houston, who received the ball on the left wing, faced with Fisher, who was quickly returning to the defense, he released the ball with his left hand and broke through, and hit a jump shot in the blocking area!

Everyone shook their fists in celebration, and the shouts of joy almost broke through the arena.

As time passed, Bryant took possession again and began to hit the iron again.

Li You, who encountered the upline bag, got the support of his teammates after the ball.

The Lakers' main attacker is playing iron, and the Knicks are all brave.

The red-eyed Kobe Bryant had no intention of passing the ball at all, and completely entered the game state of more and more iron, and more iron and more shot.

Only Fisher sent the ball to O'Neal for a few rounds, but he was interfered with by Li You, the quality of the pass was not high, and in a few rounds, the shark failed to catch the ball in his sweet spot.

Phil Jackson didn't skimp on the timeout, let alone replace Kobe Bryant.

Maybe I was still praying that the main attacker would be able to regain his touch, but as the game went by, the Knicks role players exploded, the point difference gradually widened, and the Lakers bench was silent.

With the last 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant rushed to the basket against Li Youqiang, turned quickly in the paint area, and wanted to complete the throw with his left hand after closing the ball.

It's just that under the high-speed turn, Kobe Bryant finally lost control of the ball, and for a while he could only watch the basketball suddenly fly out of the bottom line

At 92:100, the Knicks were still leading by 8 points, and Li You finally showed a smile when he opened the baseline ball, and by the way, he raised his hands and signaled that the sound was louder.

“Wow！”

Kobe Bryant stared at Li You, as if it was difficult to accept such a result.

He made another mistake when leading the defense, and Bryant cut the ball fiercely after half-time, and sent Li You to the free throw line.

Li You shook his hand and teased the red-eyed Kobe Bryant when he walked to the free throw line:

"Thanks! Bro, I didn't expect to win the championship this way! ”

“.”

Seemingly so angry that he couldn't speak, Kobe Bryant didn't say a word, continued to stare at Li You, and tried to kill the opponent with his eyes again.

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Li You stood on the free throw line, the shouting almost broke through the court, and O'Neal, who was under the basket, seemed to have admitted defeat, lowered his head, and looked listless.

With both free throws in Madison Square Garden, everyone shouted again to vent their excitement.

At 92:102, Phil Jackson crossed his arms and asked for one last timeout.

Back in his seat, Bryant stared straight at the floor, 2-of-8 for 6 points, and he knew his performance.

It's just that when he thought of Li You's smiling face and that word of thanks, Kobe Bryant couldn't hold back anymore, so he could only cover his face with his hands and try to control his emotions.

Phil Jackson, who wanted to say something more, looked at the silent bench, sighed secretly in his heart, and saw O'Neill's lack of fighting spirit, and finally could only encourage again:

"Like a man, fight until the last moment, and if you lose, bless your opponent!"

"It's not terrible to lose, we're still young, and we still have a chance in the future!"
