On December 28, 2002, ESPN announced that the Knicks and Rockets game had reached a new high.

The rating of 3.86 meant that around 4 million households watched the game, which was also the most watched game since ESPN took over broadcasting this season.

Although there are still fans complaining that Nesler in the commentary seat is not passionate, and it is not as interesting as Marf Albert's commentary game, with the blessing of exaggerated records, most fans don't care about this.

The New York Times gave Lee a loan the next day for a future scoring record:

"100 points? Maybe Lee only needs to shoot 40 times! ”

In addition to reporting records, several other mainstream print media are more likely to blow X and loan championships:

"Lee is about to enter his prime at the age of 25, and the Knicks will continue to dominate the league!"

"God wears the No. 1 jersey of the Knicks!"

New York fans only regret that they were not able to witness the record live.

The NBA league cooperated with the broadcaster last night and began to blow violently, and by the way, it popularized science to fans:

With 31 points in a single quarter, Li You broke the record of 30 points in a single quarter for the Rockets Vernon Maxwell in the 91~92 season and Michael Jordan of the Bulls in the 88~89 season.

At the same time, Li You also tied Chamberlain's record of 31 points in a single quarter in the 61~62 season.

Interestingly, Chamberlain's 31 points in the first quarter came against the Knicks, who scored 100 points in that game.

Li You hit 13 three-pointers in a single game, breaking the record of 9 three-pointers in a single game in the regular season set by himself in the 99~00 season.

Currently, the single-game three-point shooting record in the regular season and playoffs belongs to Lee You.

With 63 points in the third quarter, Lee Woo became the first player since Chamberlain to do so.

With the blessing of various records, at the end of 2002, Li You completely snatched the heat back, and no one discussed the defending champion anymore.

The all-star voting continues, and if there is no accident, Li You will most likely get the vote king!

For Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, Li You is officially on the stage.

In an interview after the game, Yao Ming naturally did not reveal that his big brothers' mentality collapsed, and the big score loss was also followed by a fierce blow:

"That's a superstar, we can't limit him from scoring, it's only after playing against Lee Woo that you understand how good he is."

"I can't feel the powerlessness when I watch the footage, and I don't even think we're playing the same kind of basketball."

Colin Pan's translation is mixed with some personal preferences, but the American sports media has become accustomed to this kind of slightly ordinary blowing, and the New York media has taken it for granted.

Unlike previous years, which only circulated news in a limited circle of fans, CCTV's introduction and Saturday's broadcast are the channels for the general public to understand the players.

Just like what Xu Jicheng boasted in the studio after the game:

"Hopefully Chinese fans can calm down, Yao Ming is just a rookie and he's still adapting to the NBA."

"Lee Yoo is a true superstar, he's as great as Michael Jordan!"

"Maybe this year we'll see him win the championship for the fifth time! In the near future, he may win many more victories! ”

"In the follow-up show, we will also bring more news about Lee Yo and the Knicks to fans."

The bonus period has officially arrived, and the young "Highlights Fans" have become Li You's ten-year old fans after watching a game!

On the portal, there are more and more stories of Li You, after all, "winning honey" is the most popular group.

At 18:30 on the evening of the 28th, at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, 20,000 fans entered early.

Although Nelson Sr. and the Mavericks also followed suit before the game, the Mavericks hit hard after the game began.

With 24 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the West, the Mavericks have been in excellent form since the start of the season this season!

In the first half, the Mavericks' starting center for the night, Sean Bradley, played just eight minutes and didn't play again.

This 2.29-meter-tall bamboo pole will give away points on his debut, and the anti-blocking and demolition will be extremely crotch-pulling.

Despite his injuries, Nelson Sr. has been using Reeve Lafrentz more of a relatively flexible big man.

Also DNP in the second half was Avery Johnson, a traditional defender.

The offensive end was emptied, the defensive end was forced, and the 37-year-old "Little General" couldn't adapt to the rhythm of tonight's game.

Maybe he wants to face the Knicks, the old Nelson is a 7-man rotation in the second half, and he is the main force!

At the end of the third quarter, at 80:82, the Mavericks still had a two-point lead, and the cheers in the arena grew louder.

During the intermission, old Nelson, who was combing three or seven points and wearing a gray formal suit and a plaid tie, looked at the players, patted the tactical board and encouraged loudly:

"One more quarter, we need to keep responding and believe in our shots!"

The assistant coach thought that the old Nelson was going to make a substitution, but the assistant coach waved his hand after delivering the chicken soup and signaled the main lineup to continue to play.

Van Axel was a bit depressed on the bench, and he only managed to get eight minutes of playing time in this game.

Even when Nash had problems defensively, Nelson Sr. stuck with it.

In contrast, the Knicks started to rotate, back-to-back games, Grant Hill didn't play too much, and Kurt Thomas was a lot of consumption on the defensive end, and he had to rest for a few minutes at this time.

The 2-point difference, D'Antoni didn't take it to heart, even if Li You felt very bad outside the three-point line tonight, at this time he still simply arranged:

"Offense, all we have to do is keep putting the ball in the basket and running, the opponent can't keep up with our rhythm!"

Stephen Jackson put on a headband, and the whole person was eager to try, and it was rare to encounter a game that could stalemate until the fourth quarter, and after playing too much garbage time, it was time to change the taste.

Although it was a back-to-back game, Artest's physical fitness was not affected too much, mainly because Glenn Rice, who was opposite last night, really pulled his hips

“Defense！.”

The Knicks kicked off from the baseline, and the defensive shouts immediately rang out in the arena, and the Mavericks fans were particularly engaged.

When Lee Woo received the ball, Nash did not choose to lead the defense, but established a defensive position in the half.

Wright, the Knicks' big man, clubbed early on the right near baseline, and Jackson and Artest stopped on the left and right wings.

Nash saw the Knicks' position, and then aimed at Stoudemire behind him to speed up, and hurriedly called his teammates to delay.

At the top of the arc, Stoudemire had just stood still, and Nowitzki, who had come up with the defense, was still adjusting his pace.

The time to cover was too early, but Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly changed direction quickly.

Before Nash could get on the guard, Li You, who had switched to his left hand, had already pressed the center of gravity of his body extremely low, and "flew close to the ground" to accelerate with all his might.

Nowitzki could only slide desperately to the right back, but was still squeezed by Li You.

Raja Bell, who followed Jackson to the bottom left corner, still wanted to help defend, but Li You broke through with a big stride, and when he wanted to reach out, he could only watch Li You throw off the defense and lean out to pick up the basket.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki made an invalid block and watched the basketball fall into the basket.

"Shh

The Knicks tied the score, boos resounded in the arena, and the old Nelson coach next to him gestured for Raga Bell to take over the defense.

Nash was a little embarrassed, and he didn't have a good way to deal with this situation many times.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, receiving the ball from the baseline, Nash quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and under the leadership of Li You, he gave the ball to Nowitzki on the left wing for the first time.

In the face of Stoudemire, Nowitzki continued to raise the ball and swayed, sensing that the center of gravity of the new defense was shifting, Nowitzki immediately put the ball with his right hand and accelerated to break through.

Leaning against Stoudemire, Nowitzki strode through the paint zone.

Because Lavrenz, the big man on the inside, has the ability to shoot three-pointers and stops on the right wing, the Knicks' interior defense is wide open.

The big man Wright didn't have time to return to the basket, and watched Nowitzki lean on the defense and throw 2 points in front of the basket!

Stoudemire, who made a mistake in defense, raised his hand in embarrassment, and this kind of scene of being broken by a big man with the ball is really a bit embarrassing

Quickly drove the baseline ball, and after Li You received the ball, the defender next to him became Raja Bell.

Constantly giving physical confrontations tried to delay the pace of advancement, but Lee Woo still chased the opponent's ass and rushed through the half.

After a quick stop, Stoudemire stopped again and continued to block and pick-and-roll, Raga Bell struggled to squeeze through the screen, and Nowitzki kept his distance and was ready to step back to the basket.

Unable to completely shake off the defense, Li You, who accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, quickly in and out.

Swinging right and left, the ball in his left hand accelerated again, taking advantage of Nowitzki's sliding step to the right back, Li You leaned on Raja Bell in the middle of the line, and quickly turned around.

Nowitzki had stepped back to the basket by the time Lee switched to his right hand, while Raja Bell struggled to twist his body and try to defend.

Attracting the attention of the two defenders, Li You, who completed the turn, threw the ball in concealment, and Stoudemire, who followed up down the middle, immediately burst out after receiving the ball.

Despite having Nowitzki in front of him, Stoudemire didn't care, jumped high after the jump, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed his arm through the defense.

"Boom!" Tomahawk slam dunk!

"Ahh

With a roar, Stoudemire, who completed the dunk, barely regained a loss of face.

Mavericks home commentator Bob Ortegar also sighed at this time:

"It's too fast, Lee's speed is too fast! Both Nash and Bale struggled to keep up with him. ”

'We've got to respond on the offensive end and Dirk has some problems defensively.

In '88, he became a commentator for the Mavericks' televised broadcast, and as a professional basketball analyst, Ortegar saw the problem, and the elder Nelson certainly knew it.

The game quickly entered the rhythm of Lee You's blockade of Nowitzki's block, and Nowitzki's onslaught of the colander Stoudemire.

Mavericks fans were happy to see that Nowitzki, despite the problem of protecting the frame, could not only score easily on the offensive end, but also assist his teammates to eat cakes.

With 7:48 left in the game, Nowitzki cheated Stoudemire for his fourth foul and stepped to the free throw line.

Although the offensive performance was not bad, Stoudemire, who was substituted, was still a little depressed.

The opponent hit one of two free throws, and Gasol, who returned to the court, protected the rebound.

At 92:93, after a matchup, the Mavericks still held the lead.

“Defense！.”

Raja Bell constantly gave physical duels in an attempt to interfere with Lee's advancing speed.

Lee Woo raced through the half-court and circled the ball behind his back and then quickly changed direction with his right hand, and Raja Bell could only twist around before watching the basketball fly in front of him.

Seeing Li You scoop the ball with his left hand and accelerate again to get rid of the defense, the Mavericks fans exclaimed:

"Oh!"

Nash, who switched to Jackson, hurriedly shrank, and with a twist of Li You's wrist during the march, the basketball flew to the left wing, and the unguarded Jackson caught the ball and made a jumper!

At 95:93, looking at the Knicks who quickly retreated, the old Nelson on the sidelines gestured to continue the offense.

The Mavericks' passing ball from the outside was pressed by the Knicks' defense and almost missed.

Nowitzki quickly stepped up to block Nash at the top of the arc.

Halfway through the offensive time, Nash didn't hesitate, holding the ball in his left hand to get rid of the chasing Li You, and accelerated sharply as Kurt Thomas looked up at the frame.

Breaking through to the basket against the defense, Nash took Kurt Thomas around the paint in a circle, and suddenly distributed the ball to Nowitzki.

The latter cut in the middle to catch the ball, and Novis basically wanted to smash the ball into the basket, but Li You behind him was already prepared and waited for the opponent in the air in advance.

Before the basketball could be shot, Li You's vigorous block slapped the ball onto the rebound.

"Oh!"

The Mavericks fans exclaimed again, and Gasol, who rebounded and shrank into the paint, took control of the ball.

Mike Finley stepped forward to delay, and then everyone quickly stepped back.

Lee You, who received the ball, accelerated forward, and everyone on the Knicks also quickly rushed across the halfway.

The Mavericks' defensive alignment was problematic, and Nash couldn't get to Jackson's side in time.

Before Laga Bale could alert his teammates, Li You quickly got on the ball, and Jackson immediately released the ball the moment he received the ball on the left flank, and accelerated with the ball in his left hand.

Nash, who lost a position, could only pull a foul and send Jackson to the free throw line.

After being targeted for another half of the game, and repeatedly switched back and ran down, Nowitzki couldn't help but gasp for air.

Both free throws were hit, Jackson's excited Bang Bang beat his chest, and Li You also clapped his hands, signaling to maintain such defensive intensity.

At 97:93, the Knicks overtook the score.

Novis basically wanted to keep receiving the ball in the left blocking area, but with Kurt Thomas' defense, Nash didn't choose to force the ball to his teammates.

After the quick passing of the ball by the three on the line, realizing that the Knicks' defensive formation had not changed, Mike Finley took the initiative to ask for the ball in the right blocking area.

Immediately after receiving the ball, he took a quick tentative step with his left foot in the frame, and then put the ball with his right hand, and Mike Finley went straight to the basket against Artest's defense.

Relying on the defensive rebound to make a layup, Artest took advantage of the situation to protect the backcourt rebound.

Realizing that the Mavericks were desperately retreating, Li You, who received the ball in the paint area, rushed extremely fast and caught up with the Mavericks who retreated in the blink of an eye.

Raja Bale panted as he tried to get back to the defense, noticing that Li You had caught up with him, and before he could pull his hands, he suddenly pushed the ball and changed direction and caused him to lose his defensive position.

Fishing the ball with his left hand, Li You grabbed half of his body, and while leaning on the defense, he had already rushed to the three-point line.

Accelerated to the basket, actively crashed into the opponent during the march, the moment Raga Bell pulled the foul, Li You closed the ball, the left front of the basket was close to the paint area, and drifted to throw the ball to the rebound!

"Squeak!"

The referee blew the whistle, the basketball hit the board into the basket, and Raga Bell lost his center of gravity after pulling, stumbled directly out of the baseline and fell into the audience.

“OMG！ Maybe we need a timeout, the lads need to take a break! ”

The home commentator Ortegar shouted God and began to hold his forehead, and this kind of switching attack made him depressed.

Everyone on the Knicks team stepped forward to high-five Lee Woo in celebration, and the atmosphere group on the bench also cheered.

After Lee hit the free throw, the old Nelson head coach immediately called a timeout.

At 100:93, most of the sound in the aviation center arena was gone.

After a timeout, the Mavericks scored quickly on the offensive round, and Nash assisted Lafrentz to hit a three-pointer after blocking the pick-and-roll.

The Mavericks fans cheered loudly, and then saw the defensive round, Li You took advantage of Gasol's high block, quickly in and out from beyond the three-point line, and accelerated past Lafrentz, who was delayed.

Raja Bell was still behind him, but in the paint area, Lee saw Mike Finley help the basket from the bottom left corner and distribute the ball to Artest in the open space.

The latter received the ball and noticed that Mike Finley was not making a save, and Artest adjusted slightly, and then he made a solid jump shot!

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

At 103:96, the score difference remained the same, and Coach D'Antoni glanced at the time, smiled and continued to clap his hands in encouragement.

The Mavericks didn't slow down their offensive tempo, and after the pick-and-roll, Nash accelerated to the basket and drew a foul to the free throw line.

Falling into the position, the Knicks continued to block and disassemble, the quality of the defense declined, and Li You assisted Gasol on a jumper from the free throw line.

Nelson Sr. noticed that the two big men of the Mavericks saw that Li You's blocking and dismantling had no longer dared to delay any more, and couldn't help but shout loudly to remind.

But the player's feeling was right, his fitness declined, and Li You got rid of Raga Bale's pursuit, pulled the defense laterally and accelerated again, breaking through the bag with great ease.

With 2:01 left in the game, the Mavericks narrowed the gap to 4 points, which rarely stalled the Knicks' offense, and the Mavericks fans also boiled.

Slipping quickly past the baseline, Lee Woo came to the bottom left corner, and when he received a pass from Grant Hill, Kurt Thomas moved in front of him.

Without waiting for his teammates to stand still, Li You put the ball with his right hand, lowered his center of gravity while his body shook slightly to the right front, and then changed direction very quickly.

Raja Bell lost his defensive position in an instant, and Nowitzki, who had learned his lesson, desperately stepped back to the basket.

Holding the ball in his left hand and "flying close to the ground" along the baseline, in the exclamation of the Mavericks fans, Li You caught up with the retreating Nowitzki, and did not wait for the opponent to jump up and block the block.

Nowitzki barely made a block move, Li You curled up in the air, then glided to the bottom right of the basket, completely dodged the defense, and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand!

"Huh!" Pull rod basket success!

"Oh!"

The beautiful goal, for a while, even the boos disappeared, and Mark Cuban, who was sitting in the audience under the basket, even began to applaud.

His fitness declined, and for two consecutive rounds, Nowitzki and Finley hit jumpers from beyond the three-point line.

The Knicks seized the opportunity, and Gasol hit two consecutive shots in the low post on the right side!

With Nowitzki hitting one of two free throws and Grant Hill getting Nash's foul on the transition offense to the free-throw line again, the game lost its suspense.

In the end, 113:107, the Knicks defeated their opponents with difficulty and won 27 consecutive victories!

The Aviation Center arena was still noisy after the game, and Nowitzki, who had played 42 minutes, was still gasping for air.

In contrast, although Li You played 40 minutes, he was only sweating on his head at this time, and he couldn't see that he was playing back-to-back games at all.

The players on both sides were still shaking hands, and the home commentator Ortegar said in a muffled voice:

"Maybe the Nelson head coach's rotation was too conservative and the boys completely lost their defense in the fourth quarter."

"With monster-like physical fitness, I believe that even without those crazy three-pointers, Lee can still dominate the league."

13-of-24, 2-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 9-of-10 from the free throw line, and poor performance in the first three quarters, Li You finally cut a double-double of 37 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

After losing the game, Nowitzki and Nash did not show much disappointment at the press conference after the game, but teased themselves:

"I thought I was reading the wrong news this morning, Lee scored 63 points in the third quarter, which is really incredible!"

"We were talking about how to limit his three-point shot during the day, and I thought the team did a good job of that, but he taught us a lesson in the fourth quarter."

After Nowitzki said this, Nash on the side also quipped:

"Luckily Lee is in the Eastern Conference, I'm jealous of this guy, and I'm sure a lot of people forget that I'm also a rookie in the class of '96."

"That's the MVP, Lee is the best player at the moment, and I'm looking forward to playing against him on a higher stage."

11-of-24, 1-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 7-of-9 from the free-throw line, 30 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, Nowitzki played normally;

6-of-14, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 turnovers, Nash was on the mark.

Winning back-to-back games, Li You was also in a good mood, and when he attended the press conference, in addition to the commercial blows, he mainly praised Artest's defense:

"Basketball is not only about offense, but defense is also very important, and Ron's stats may not attract much attention, but he can always limit opposing players."

Due to the Knicks' early departure from Houston last night, Chinese sports reporters did not get more material, and after chasing Dallas, Yang Yi also squeezed into the post-game press conference.

With the permission of the team staff, Yang Yi looked a little restrained after getting up, and then asked in Mandarin:

"63 points, can you talk about last night's game? For many Chinese fans, such a score is unimaginable. ”

After Yao Ming entered the league, Yang Yi followed the report for the first month, and after witnessing more stars, he also understood why his American counterparts would brag about Li You's data.

"For me, scoring is the easiest thing to do in basketball!"

"The 60+ was also obtained with the support of my teammates, and the data is only an accessory product of the victory."

"It's a gift from me to the Chinese fans, and I hope everyone will enjoy the Knicks game."

Li You answered the question simply, and Yang Yi in the audience nodded again and again when he heard it, and sighed in his heart:

"Compared to Francis, that's a real star!"

On December 29, ESPN's data expert Hollinger boasted about Li You's performance in December in a column:

"If you just look at the basic data, maybe there are a few players who can play Lee's performance."

"And in terms of some high-end stats, Lee is almost out of gear, and his true shooting percentage is as high as 76.9% so far this month."

"I can't describe how good Lee is, I'm just reminding you of the voting sports media that we're witnessing a season of legend that belongs to Lee!"

ESPN's recent program has been raving about hot spots, repeatedly analyzing Li You's scoring composition, and Sport Center has even edited a highlight reel for Li You, which has made American Excel fans enthusiastic.

The gossip within the Lakers is like an old lady's footwrap, and no fans want to see the corresponding news anymore.

Although the Mavericks and Kings have excellent records, they are not as good as their stars.

After two months of tossing, the sports media finally chose to continue to rub the Knicks traffic.

In the next game, the Knicks continue their road trip and will take on the Spurs after a full day's rest.

With 19 wins and 11 losses, the Spurs, who started the game slowly, gradually found their game form.

D'Antoni ran a 27-game winning streak in his first season in charge of the Knicks, and the knock-on effect was that the coaching circle was secretly lemon

The Spurs are still in preparation, and Popovich is a little upset every time he sees the news about the Knicks.

He worked so hard, but the sports media in San Antonio always questioned him, and once the results fluctuated, the second day was a criticism meeting:

"Tim Duncan needs a championship coach!"

If it weren't for the thigh-hugging jaw, Popovich felt that he might have been swept away

As a member of the Larry Brown faction, Popovich prefers to control players, but since the rise of Lee Yo, superstar status has climbed again.

In the past, Michael Jordan would say to the media that "I will only play for Phil", but Lee Yoo never said such a thing.

The Knicks also proved that even if he is a rookie coach, as long as he comes to New York, he can still succeed!

On the morning of the 30th, after the training session, Popovich was interviewed by the local sports media in San Antonio.

Asked if he could bring David Robinson a championship this season, Popovich once again confidently stated:

"With Steve back from injury, we're getting better and better!"

"David has been in San Antonio all his career, and he's given everything for the Spurs."

"This season we are even more united and everyone wants to win the championship for David!"

While Popovich appeared quite confident, the San Antonio sports media didn't buy it, and soon someone asked:

"Tonight's game, how are we going to limit Lee, he's been in a hot state this month!"

Last season, the Spurs beat the Knicks twice, but Gasol has also hardened a lot after a season of training, and the projection of the forward group has also improved a little.

If he wants to rely on the Twin Towers to continue to dominate the game, Popovich also finds it difficult, but looking at everyone's skeptical eyes, he finally confidently blows X:

"With Duncan here, the opponent can't storm the basket wantonly, and we plan to test the opponent's shooting first!"

“.”

After a bunch of game strategies, the sports media in San Antonio nodded their heads secretly, and everyone felt that what Popovich said made sense.

This season, the Spurs also moved into a new arena and said goodbye to the Amora Dome, and although the stadium has fewer spectators, the viewing experience has improved a lot.

The 18,000 Spurs fans entered early and were able to watch the game while having dinner at the new arena, which was well received by the fans!

Popovich blew hard before the game, but once the game began, the Spurs struggled to score.

In order to protect the basket, the Knicks set up a zone defense around the paint area on the defensive end tonight.

Spurs fans were quick to witness the effects of the team's constipated three-pointers.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Spurs were on offense, and the Knicks were out early.

Parker saw that all three of the Knicks were shrinking inside the three-point line, and hurriedly motioned for Steve Smith and Bruce Bowen to run to the left and right corners to open up space.

The Knicks' opposing defenders moved, but the two wings only moved to the blocking zone.

Artest glanced at Bowen in the bottom right corner, and then focused more on Duncan, who was about to go up to the pick-and-roll.

Near the top of the arc, Li You chose to go down the line to chase the defense.

Parker, who held the ball in his left hand, faced Kurt Thomas, who was sinking defense, did not choose a long two-point pull-up jumper, but quickly distributed the ball to Duncan at the free-throw line.

Li You reacted quickly, moved at the first time, and defended Duncan behind him, and then the Knicks' defense quickly rotated, and Artest, who was nearby, immediately pounced.

With the two interfering, Duncan quickly distributed the ball to Bowen, who was moving in the bottom right corner.

The latter received the ball, Artest quickly returned to defense, and the Knicks' defense rotated again and realigned.

The opportunity flashed away, and instead of choosing to shoot directly, Bowen returned the ball to Parker, who received it at the top of the arc.

Every time they catch the ball in the low post, they hesitate every time they miss a three-pointer, and the Spurs are getting slower and slower.

Seeing that the offensive time was about to reach 24 seconds again, when he started to block again, Li You accelerated and squeezed through the screen, and under the interference, Parker hit a long two-point jumper on the left wing.

The rebound popped up, and Gasol successfully stuck under the basket, stuck David Robinson behind him, and protected the backcourt rebound at the first time.

“Defense！.”

The defensive cheers rang out again, and the Spurs fans were anxious to watch.

It's almost the same defensive strategy, but when Lee Yoo plays the arc top block, David Robinson hurried to make a big delay and cooperate with Parker to complete the defense.

In the crack, Li You shook his wrist with his left hand, leaned sideways and sent a pass, Gasol was at the free throw line, there was no extra movement, and he immediately jumped and shot!

"Huh!" Solid mid-range hits.

At 19:10, with 4 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks extended their lead.

Reluctantly begging for a timeout, Popovich noticed that D'Antoni on the other side was smiling from ear to ear, and for a while he cursed in his heart.

After the timeout, the Spurs still didn't throw three-pointers, and in some rounds patiently passed the ball to find an opportunity, and Duncan completed the finish under the basket.

But the more rounds that followed ended in shooting iron, and in the end, it was the free throws that didn't let the difference continue to widen.

The Spurs retreated quickly, which made the game extremely dull, and Li You didn't throw a blind chicken, the team was ahead, and he repeatedly pulled the opponent's defense.

At 29:20, at the end of the first quarter, Popovich's face was ugly, and Steve Smith was still recovering, and he scored zero eggs.

The Spurs were extremely cautious and began to smash Duncan again, and the Knicks did not rotate a large area, and Stoudemire was destined to not get much playing time tonight.

Throughout the first half of the game, Spurs fans watched drowsy.

Popovich kept shouting on the sidelines, while D'Antoni crossed his arms on the other side, smiling and clapping from time to time.

At 57:44, after halftime, in the SBC Center Arena, Spurs fans were silent:

"It's a really ugly game!"

The Knicks' wing defense was extremely intense throughout the half, and Moe New Prince did a good job.

Bowen, who doesn't have the ability to handle the ball, struggled to contribute much on the offensive end, and Steve Smith, who was in a strained position, went 1-of-5 from the field and scored four points.

Perhaps due to a lack of trust in the rookie, Ginobili played only two minutes, missed a three-point pullup jumper, and was replaced after a breakaway.

In the second half, the Spurs were forced to add some three-point shooting, and soon the long rebound turned into a transition offense for the Knicks.

With 3:47 left in the third quarter, Steve Smith hit an open jumper on the left wing.

The long rebound was just picked up by Lee Woo near the free throw line.

Tony Parker hurriedly stepped forward to delay, but Li You quickly circled the ball behind his back, and after switching to his left hand, he immediately hung up on the defense and accelerated in a bulldozer style.

Losing his position, Parker, who was chasing the defense, was fast, rushed to the three-point line, and chased to Li You's side.

The moment the two came to the paint area, Li You took the initiative to slow down, rushed up in three steps and directly hit the defense on his side, and then held the ball in his left hand and soared into the air, stretching his body in the air and smashing his arms and buckles!

"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!

After a physical collision, the Parker was gone, and the man, who did the same as last season, voluntarily fell to the ground in an attempt to create an offensive foul on Lee You

"Shh

Spurs fans are booing again, the game is ugly and losing, and tonight's tickets are bloody!

Popovich didn't complain as much as he used to, and the referees have paid little attention to such falls since Fisher fell to the ground frequently in the Finals.

On the contrary, Tony Parker was a little emotional, and Li You did hit someone:

"I didn't fake a fall, he hit me with his shoulder, and obviously it was an offensive foul!"

Loudly complaining to the baseline referee that he didn't get the desired result, Parker continued to question and soon got a T

Li You shook his head at the Spurs, slowly rubbed to the free throw line, and executed another technical free throw.

At 78:64, the game was actually tied in the third quarter, but the Spurs became more and more impatient, and the victory gradually fell to the Knicks' side.

Ewing noticed David Robinson's serious expression throughout the game and couldn't help but snicker on the bench.

He doesn't want to see his opponent win the championship, and for the gorilla, his happiness is sometimes built on the pain of the "Admiral".

Free throws, irons, two-pointers to the basket, and the occasional long two-pointer, the Spurs maintained the rhythm of the game, and there were even scattered boos in the arena as we entered the fourth quarter.

This dull game was entangled until the very end.

In the end, 109:95, the Knicks managed to win their 28th consecutive game!

Lee Woo played 40 minutes again, shooting 11-of-23, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, finishing with 33 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

Also played 40 minutes, Tim Duncan was 12-of-23 from the field, finishing with 31 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

After the loss, Duncan was naturally in a bad mood, obviously he sent so many passes, and the Spurs were 2-of-11 from beyond the three-point line

In this way, Duncan said hello after the game and walked directly to the players' tunnel.

After winning 28 consecutive games, Li You found a reason for the Spurs to lose:

"We've been preparing for this game for a long time and tonight the opponent just couldn't shoot!"

"I'm sure they'll find a solution to the problem and look forward to our next encounter."

With 28 consecutive wins, D'Antoni will undoubtedly win the Coach of the Month award for December again!

The rookie coach has now become the focus of the league, and in an interview with the team's New York media, D'Antoni laughed again:

"All we have to do is get the ball into Lee's hands! That's the secret to our 28-game winning streak! ”

“.”

On December 31, the Knicks returned to Manhattan, and Lee Woo also ushered in his birthday.

Perhaps it was the recent 63 points that stimulated New York fans, and a large number of fans gave gifts on this year's birthday.

Sponsors and New York media also shouted, which made Li You, who had just returned to Manhattan, have no time to rest, and have a birthday party at home.

On January 1, 2003, fans in New York were still immersed in the joy of last night's New Year's Eve.

That night, Madison Square Garden was packed again, and on the first day of the new year, everyone came to witness Li You's Player of the Month award.

In the morning, the NBA league also announced the Player of the Month for December:

Eastern Conference Woo Lee and Western Conference Chris Webb won the award.

The Knicks had a 13-0 record in December, while the Kings had a 10-4 record.

What drove critics crazy was Lee Woo's performance in December:

Averaged 35.5 minutes per game, averaging 35.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 10.6 assists, 2.6 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.6 turnovers per game;

He averaged 19.3 shots per game and shot 59.6 percent from the field and 9.2 attempts per game from beyond the three-point line to shoot 47.5 percent from three-point range.

He averaged 8.2 free throws per game and shot 93.0% from the free-throw line.

Compared to Chris Webb, who averages 24.4 points per game, 44.6% shooting, and 67.3% free throws, Lee Woo is more of an interior player when it comes to Excel.

In the morning, ESPN's program naturally boasted about Li You's outrageous performance, and the trio of TNT did not follow suit.

Since the Knicks' opponent that night was the Raptors, Vince Carter continued to be injured, and the trio did not discuss the game at all before the game, but continued the current hot topic:

"Winning MVP three years in a row? I think the answer is yes, the team's record, the personal data, Lee's performance is impeccable. ”

In the studio, Kenny Smith, sitting in a chair, looked like a "worshipper".

Although Li You's outrageous statistics were mainly pulled up by the Rockets' 63 points, Charles Barkley did not question it this time, but commented seriously:

"Winning tonight's game would give the Knicks a 29-game winning streak."

"They even have a chance to break the record for the longest winning streak in history."

"I'll vote for Lee, he deserves to be the MVP, and Lee is better than Larry Bird, who has won the MVP three years in a row."

"This season the Knicks will become unstoppable, and those who are still fantasizing about the Lakers creating a dynasty can take a break!"

In a rare situation where the two were in agreement, Ernnie Johnson, who was sitting in the middle, looked at the two and concluded with a smile:

"Player of the Month for November, Player of the Month for December, and by the way, Lee also won the Player of the Week award for the last week of December!"

"Regardless of the Knicks' schedule, Lee is currently performing at an MVP level."

"Maybe this season, we'll see the second player to win the MVP three years in a row!"
