On February 10, 2003, the All-Star Weekend ended, and Michael Jordan sealed the win with his trademark step-back jumper and took home a custom trophy!

said that he didn't care, but the winning Mai Button held the golden trophy that was several times larger and smiled brightly when he was interviewed.

The Wizards' bad things seem to have been put aside, and for Michael Jordan, it is very decent to be able to say goodbye in front of all eyes!

However, McButton is not the only hot spot of the All-Star Weekend, ESPN broke the news that in the locker room of the Western All-Star Team after the game, Kobe and O'Neal quarreled, and the Sharks almost did it directly.

originally thought it was fake news, but Gary Payton, who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, took the initiative to speak out to prove the authenticity of this news:

"Yes, Kobe Bryant seems to want to win the game, but he picked the wrong guy, and Shaq won't give the rookie face."

"One of the last two free throws, I don't think it was intentional, that's the normal level of Shaq's free throws, and Mai dunk shot, Lee completed the steal, we didn't complain, a loss is a loss."

"I'm sure the fans love to see it, and as for Kobe, there's nothing wrong with him, and I appreciate his desire to win!"

This news is much more interesting than Mai Buckle winning the prize, the people who eat melons just hate that there are no photos of the scene, O'Neal angrily beats Kobe, this scene is exciting to think about.

Of course, there are also fans who support Kobe, and this season's Lakers have a poor record and a slow start, largely because O'Neal chose to undergo toe surgery after the start of the regular season.

There was a 20 million superstar lying on the bench, and Kobe Bryant led the team to lose one after another, and some Lakers fans only expressed sympathy:

"The boss did his best!"

Critics believe that Kobe Bryant led the team to lose because there were too many singles and role players could not fit into the team, but this claim has long been denied by Phil Jackson.

After the All-Star Weekend, the sports media came to New York to eat melons!

Tomorrow is the Lakers' away game against the Knicks, and everyone in the Lakers has flown to New York, and everyone wants to interview Phil Jackson.

The two parties were not interviewed by the sports media, and the Lakers did not want to be exposed to internal contradictions at this time.

Phil Jackson looked calm, and after checking in, he just smiled in an interview:

"I've said a long time ago that every team has internal conflicts, and Kobe Bryant and Shaq just want to win too much."

"It's normal to have disagreements during the game, in fact, the two often disagree in training!"

"Kobe Bryant is very similar to McBuckle, he likes to be strict with himself and he also motivates his teammates."

"But Shaq is different, his body needs more maintenance, I understand his choice, the Lakers will work hard in the back and soon we will be back in the top half!"

"At the moment we've gotten rid of injuries, Shaq and Kobe have no problems!"

The words of the old man of KFC are naturally unconvincing, and the sports media do not believe that the two are just simple basketball contradictions.

It's no secret that the team has only one boss, and just as Iverson and Stackhouse, Ray Allen and Robinson "Big Dog" can't coexist, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal have had this problem.

Fortunately, the two won a championship, and it is not a loss to part ways!

After All-Star Weekend, Hook also began a new round of advertising.

The advertising space outside Madison Square Garden was once again covered with advertisements for Lee Yow and the new sneakers.

That night, at Rockefeller Center, the hook invited a large number of sports media, and Li You was also dressed in a black suit to entertain everyone present.

Due to the new technology on the sneakers, the price is not as friendly as the previous generation, plus it is a low-top basketball shoe, which is a show of muscle to the peers.

Li You doesn't care about the aerospace materials in the publicity, he only knows that the new sneakers are indeed much lighter, the grip is also good, and the shock absorption and torque resistance are also up to standard, which is enough.

Most of the invited sports media have MVP voting rights in their hands, and when they arrived at the bar on the 65th floor, everyone knew that as long as the league had no opinion, everyone did not have to continue to struggle.

Sports Illustrated has a lot of photojournalists and key editors, and every time Lee You's new sneakers are released, the hook is advertised in the mainstream media.

"Rich is the master", as long as the knife is in place, whether it is a magazine or a newspaper, even an emerging Internet portal will buy it.

In the bar, the melodious music is non-stop, and some of the chicks attending the party are busy taking pictures.

Lee Yo chatted with Matt Parker over champagne, but the two didn't talk much about MVP.

"Is Hook interested in becoming a sponsor of Manchester United FC? In football, you don't seem to invest much? ”

Bringing up this topic, Matt Parker glanced at the founder not far away, then shook his head slightly, and briefly introduced:

"The strategic issue of the group, we can make stable profits through the AJ brand, compared to the unknown risks contained in football, most people have been satisfied."

"Our sales are up year on year, and that's the result of the declining influence of Milelock."

"It's just a simple sponsorship, and this matter still needs to be discussed."

Li You nodded, in the future, to complete the acquisition, in addition to listing leeks, other marketing must also keep up.

Looking at several designers in the distance introducing the new technology of hooks to interested sports media, Matt Parker took a sip of champagne and began to sigh:

"No matter how good the design is, it needs stars to promote it, and we plan to sign LeBron James, who is highly regarded and has excellent physical condition."

Recently, I often hear this name from the sports media, the son of Akron is indeed popular in the United States, and Li You didn't care about this signing, because rookies can't affect his income:

"Reebok and Adidas should be competing with you, but he's going to pick the hook eventually."

Matt Parker just raised his eyebrows and chuckled, he didn't care about this signing, it takes time for rookies to grow, and Li You is in his prime:

"Good luck to us, it is said that Coach Van Gundy intends to coach this talented player, and maybe the opponent will be your opponent in the future!"

Although I don't know if LeBron James will start bro basketball in the future, Li You is full of confidence in the Knicks:

"In the Eastern Conference, no one is our opponent, James Dolan doesn't care about the luxury tax, the Knicks' ticket prices are still going up, this guy is making a lot of money!"

"It's not easy to make a name for yourself in Cleveland, and no one likes to play there."

Matt Parker didn't think too much about the follow-up development of Akron's son, and for sponsors, as long as there is enough exposure to sell products, it is enough.

The two no longer discuss work, and some bold girls see the opportunity and quickly crowd here, and the nightlife of New York is just beginning.

On the night of the 11th, Madison Square Garden, the Knicks played the Lakers for the first time this season, and tickets were sold out early.

Tuesday happened to be TNT's broadcast, and when the game began, Mike Fratello in the commentary box exclaimed.

The Knicks' wings are constantly chasing down Kobe Bryant, and every player on the court is working hard.

With 7:58 left in the half, the Knicks were still on the bench and the Lakers got back to the starting lineup early, and Phil Jackson seemed to be on the verge of winning the game.

In the offensive round, Stoudemire rushed to the inside and was cut by Samaki Walker.

Successfully controlling the ball, Samaki Walker hurriedly threw the ball in the direction of the front court, and Bryant grabbed the ball and rushed faster and faster with his right hand.

Coming to the paint area, Kobe Bryant rushed up in three steps and took off, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed his arm to smash the buckle!

Kobe, who was still in the air, only heard an exclamation in his ears, and then saw the basketball covered by his palm.

wanted to turn around and continue to exert force, but Kobe Bryant in the air had no choice but to find that he had lost control of the basketball.

"Smack!"

After the pegboard cap, the basketball bounced back after hitting the rebound, and Knight, the little man who came back from the pursuit, regained control of the ball.

"Oh!"

The exclamations did not stop, and Prince, who rushed over from the half to complete the chase cap, rushed to the audience at this time, and Kobe Bryant both rushed to the audience.

Under inertia, both of them were stuck in the crowd, and the exclamations couldn't stop for a while.

4 to 4 in the frontcourt, Knight and Stoudemire near the left elbow area to complete the block, get rid of the chasing Fisher, and send a hitting pass between the marches.

Stoudemire catches the ball in the paint, takes a step and flies to the basket.

This time, it was O'Neal under the basket who interfered and bumped into the fat man, and Stoudemire couldn't complete the dunk and could only throw the ball to the rebound.

Just made a disturbance, O'Neill didn't have time to jump after landing, as if possessed by a spring man, Stoudemire exploded again.

grabbed the rebound, didn't suffer too much under the physical confrontation, and Stoudemire pressed the ball into the basket with both hands after three jumps!

“Wow！”

The New York fans at the scene cheered again when they saw this situation, and Samaki Walker, who returned to the basket, looked at the boss helplessly, this kind of loss of points was completely unable to keep up with his body

O'Neal, who has been in a particularly bad mood recently, watched the Knicks crowd around Stoudemire and yelled, and was so angry that he scolded:

"Shet! Fast-break dunks can still miss! ”

Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines kept clapping his hands, and by the way, he gave a thumbs up to Prince, who had returned from the defense, although the attack was simple and rough, as long as he could score a response goal, it was no problem.

On the commentary bench, watching Stoudemire stand at the free-throw line again, Mike Fratello praised again:

"It's a great physical gift, Stoudemire has been doing well lately, and you can see that he's adapted to the intensity of the league!"

Marv Albert was also overjoyed to see such a scene, and the race seemed to be more relaxed than he remembered:

"Kobe Bryant had a terrible shooting tonight, and it can be seen that he is still adjusting to the Knicks' defense, maybe he should move the ball faster!"

Stoudemiar hit a solid free throw, and head coach Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout.

The old man of KFC also lost his smile at this time, and he was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

At 30:35, although the score difference was not large, but seeing that the defending champion had no way to fight back, the New York fans were boiling again.

“Good job！”

Lee Woo, who was draped in a towel, also got up to encourage a few people in the rotation lineup, and everyone performed well tonight.

D'Antoni saw O'Neal's lack of enthusiasm in blocking and dismantling, and while calling for the main lineup to appear, he did not forget to briefly remind:

"The more you pass the ball, the better you can shoot!"

"Li, continue to block and dismantle, the opponent is about to lose his defensive patience!"

After the timeout, when the Lakers were attacking, O'Neal made a gesture to his teammates, and after Bryant came to the right wing, no one passed the ball to him.

Fox and Fisher first passed to each other on the left flank, and after the baseline crossed to cover, O'Neal also came to the left low post to ask for the ball.

Fisher's pass was of average quality due to interference from Lee Yo, which forced O'Neill to move up to receive the ball.

O'Neal, who received the pass, immediately put the ball with his right hand, and did not care about Gasol's top defense, and vigorously approached the basket after hitting it.

When Kurt Thomas came to the paint to help the defense, O'Neal leaned on the defense and turned in the direction of the baseline, and immediately completed the throw as soon as he switched to the left hand.

Although O'Neal's turn speed was extremely fast, Gasol was prepared and jumped to interfere at the first time.

The basketball knocked twice on the basket and fell out again, and Kurt Thomas stuck Samaki Walker under the basket, and after protecting the backcourt rebound, he didn't rush to throw the ball.

Li You stepped forward to answer, and the cheers of New York fans sounded in the stadium again:

“Let's go Knicks！.”

Seeing Kobe Bryant step forward to lead the defense, Li You accelerated across the half court and immediately gave the ball to Grant Hill on the left wing.

Gasol, meanwhile, came to the left block with his back to the ball.

Grant Hill tossed the ball to Gasol, but Fisher didn't dare to be careless, and even pulled and pulled, trying to influence the off-ball cut in and run to Hill under the basket.

Due to the height gap between the two, the first quarter of the game was forced to eat a few times by such a simple cooperation.

Having learned his lesson, Fisher did not forget to watch behind him while chasing the defense, ready to cut off Gasol's passing path at any time.

Grant Hill accelerated to the bottom right corner, and at this time Li You also came to the left flank, a local two-on-two, Gasol did not reluctantly attack, but observed the movement of Li You on the line.

Fox was standing near the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line at this time, looking at Li You, and at the same time, he also strictly prevented Gasol from throwing the ball to the right wing.

Kobe Bryant, who was guarding in front of Li You, kept his back to the basket, although the defensive end was very focused, Li You's body shook to the right and suddenly ran back after pretending to cut in the middle, and Kobe Bryant still couldn't complete the defense at the first time.

The opportunity was fleeting, Bryant couldn't defend in time, but Gasol delivered the ball smoothly.

On the left flank, Li You received the ball, Gasol lifted up to block and dismantle, O'Neill hesitated for a moment or shook his body to follow the defense.

Sensing the movement behind him, Gasol faked cover and went down, and Li You also released the ball with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

After being delayed for a while, Bryant lost his best defensive position, and when O'Neal sank to the defense, Li You easily broke through to the left blocking area.

Kobe Bryant continued to chase the defense, O'Neal continued to retreat, Gasol had squeezed to the basket, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, was still accelerating.

The 4 people were synchronized, close to the left near baseline position, Li You suddenly made a lateral force, crashed into Kobe Bryant and completed the retreat at the same time, completely shook off the defense, and drifted to the baseline near the basket position and made a jump shot!

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

At 30:37, the tactics are not complicated, but it tests the tacit understanding between the two on the defensive end.

O'Neal, of course, will not be satisfied with Kobe's defense, he thinks he has protected the basket, and when he serves, he yells at his younger brother:

"Defend the defenders!"

Bryant thought that O'Neal should have packed the trap earlier, and Samaki Walker on the inside would rotate the defense to complete the fill, so he immediately replied:

"Shet, you have to help defend it!"

The two choked, and the rest of the Lakers seemed to be used to such a scene, and after O'Nealby gestured, Kobe Bryant didn't receive the ball.

In a different direction, this time O'Neal scored 2 points with a turnaround throw in the low post on the right side, and the shark shook his head in a pretending X, expressing disdain for Gasol's defense.

The Knicks played the same tactic, but in a different direction, and this time Gasol didn't go down early, and after completing the pass, he was solid and settled on the three-point line.

Li You, who put the ball with his right hand, first got rid of Kobe's pursuit with the help of cover, and faced O'Neal, who was hesitant on the defensive end, and quickly put his right hand in and out during the march.

While the body shook to the left front, the center of gravity suddenly lowered, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated directly and squeezed past O'Neal quickly.

Shaken to the ground, O'Neill had no time to make a pulling movement when cheers rang in his ears.

Li You snapped two steps after passing the defense, grabbed the ball with his right hand while jumping with his right foot, and stealthily picked up the basket!

Samaki Walker, who had already assisted in the defense, watched the basketball fly high, and finally had to fall into the basket after watching the basketball hit the high board under the basket.

“Wow！”

Li You scored in a dashing manner, causing many New York fans to stand up and applaud, and cheers resounded through the stadium.

O'Neal, of course, would not admit that this was his own defensive problem, and immediately turned his head and glared at his younger brother, and then ran towards the half court in a huff.

Kobe Bryant also pulled his face, he could naturally sense that his teammates did not pass the ball to him, this time he simply asked for the ball on the baseline and dribbled through the half court by himself.

Coming to the right flank, O'Neal was not ready to block and the pestle was on the left near the baseline.

Only Samaki Walker came to the three-point line for the first time to cover Kobe.

In the too high cover position, Artest chose to go down the line to defend, and Kobe Bryant did not choose to shoot outside the three-point line, but put the ball with his right hand and tried to accelerate the breakthrough.

After the screen, Samaki Walker stepped sideways to the free throw line to try to open up space.

Artest blocked Kobe's breakthrough route, and the two collided, and Kobe had no choice but to slow down.

Bryant suddenly stopped abruptly while on the road, only to find that Kurt Thomas was also surrounded. In the face of the bag that had not yet been formed, Kobe Bryant did not choose to make a stop-and-go jump shot, but lowered his center of gravity and continued to break through.

The emergency stop failed to shake off Artest, and in the end, Kobe Bryant was surrounded by the two and blocked near the right near the baseline.

There are hands all around him, Kobe Bryant can't see the basket, and he can't see his teammates, so in this case, he shook a little, hung up on the defense and forced to lie back and shoot!

"Bang!"

Under the two of them, Kobe Bryant still shot, and the basketball naturally knocked out of the basket, Gasol successfully collected the backcourt rebound, and soon Li You responded at the baseline position, and then rushed with the ball.

Quickly looping the ball behind his back and switching to his right hand while switching to his right hand, Li You watched as Fisher on his side continued to accelerate along the right touchline, and rushed across the half court in the blink of an eye.

Fisher, who gritted his teeth and retreated, found that Li You showed no signs of slowing down, and when he came to the right flank, he actually carried him to accelerate and rush to the basket

Fox sensed that his teammates were about to lose position, and accelerated his retreat while quickly retreating to the basket.

When cutting in from the right flank close to the paint, Lee Woo made a hidden pass from behind during the march.

Follow up Grant Hill, who cut in from the middle, jumped with both feet unguarded, and grabbed the ball with his left hand through the basket and scored a one-handed slam!

“Wow！”

The beautiful transition offense once again ignited the atmosphere of the arena, and Fisher watched Li You and Hill high-five and celebrate, standing under the basket, and his heart became more and more depressed.

In the next game, Kobe Bryant "rose to the challenge", creating difficulties even if there was no difficulty, and the difficulty of shooting gradually increased!

O'Neal was almost blown up by his younger brother, and he gestured in a row for several rounds, signaling not to pass the ball to Kobe.

On the defensive end, the fat man didn't bother to delay going out, completely gave up the treatment, and watched Phil Jackson on the sidelines keep reminding loudly.

With 1:58 left in the first half, O'Neal, who had just missed a free throw, was desperately retreating, and Gasol observed that the Lakers had finished their defense and simply stopped at the right elbow.

Although Kobe Bryant continued to give physical confrontations, Li You's advance speed was still very fast, and he had reached the top of the arc at the same time as the opponent completed the position.

Instead of standing on the left elbow as he used to, Kurt Thomas ran straight from the baseline to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball.

After Lee Woo sent the pass, Horry, who had just appeared on the court, did not stick to Cotter Thomas, but stayed inside the three-point line, always keeping an eye on the movement behind him.

Li You, who completed the pass and accelerated from the middle, immediately attracted the attention of the Lakers' defense.

Instead of going straight to the basket but suddenly stopping at the free throw line, Lee Woo took the opportunity to give Gasol a back screen.

When O'Neal noticed Lee You's movements behind him, he was too late to chase Gasol, who was moving sideways and accelerating to the basket.

Bryant reacted quickly, immediately raised his hands high, moved to the passing route, and made a helping defense.

Lee Yoo seized the opportunity to make a quick bounce at this time, and O'Neal stopped near the free throw line, watching Kurt Thomas at the top of the arc easily send a cross pass.

Completely unguarded, Li You adjusted slightly after receiving the ball, and then made a jump shot!

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

The cheers resounded in the stadium with smooth cooperation, and on the commentary seat, Mike Fratello praised again and again, and he couldn't stop for a while:

"Wonderful fit! Just one cover allowed Lee to get an open shot, and the Lakers' defense was crumbling! ”

"Coach D'Antoni was too well prepared for this game, and the Knicks completely overwhelmed the opponent tonight!"

Marf Albert saw Kobe Bryant, who received the ball on the baseline, broke through on the left wing and rushed to the basket, and before he could respond to his partner, he subconsciously shouted:

"I love the offensive options! Pau, wonderful caps! ”

Under the basket, Gasol threw punches continuously after landing on the ground, roaring in place:

"Ahh

Artest twisted to control the ball and immediately threw the ball forward.

Although Fisher had been prepared, he accelerated and rushed after seeing Li You catch the ball with his left hand, and his face showed pain for a while.

Near the three-point line, Li You completed the push and changed direction, and when he picked up the ball with his right hand and accelerated again, Fisher, who adjusted his body's center of gravity, tried to pull and was completely knocked away when he came to the paint area.

was almost knocked and lost the center of gravity of his body, Fisher failed to react defensively, and watched Li You hold the ball in his right hand and rush up in three steps and dunk his arm!

“OH——！ Too big！ Too fast！ Too strong！ ”

"It's time for the Knicks to show!"

Marv-Albert looked so excited that he seemed to have forgotten that this was a TNT broadcast, and the commentary suddenly had a tendent.

Fortunately, Mike Flatello reacted quickly and hurriedly added:

"The Lakers had to work out on the offensive end at halftime, they were thinking about the game too simply."

"When your offense is predictable, you're in trouble!"

Fisher wasn't passing the ball to Bryant, and O'Neal wanted to organize the offense, but he was hit twice by two more counterattacks as Horry hit two open jumpers

After back-to-back runs, Fox had no choice but to send Grant Hill to the free throw line and also received his third personal foul.

Before halftime, the Lakers relied on O'Neal's strong basket to regain some face, but the game was over.

At 50:66, in the second quarter, the Knicks scored 36 points and successfully extended their lead.

Kobe Bryant, who walked to the player's tunnel, had a dark face, 4 of 13 in the half and 2 of 8 in the second quarter, and single-handedly led the team down.

O'Neill seemed to be angry with his younger brother, ignoring the obstruction of his teammates, and shouted and scolded when he entered the player's tunnel:

"You're hitting like shit! If you don't want to win, don't play, I can win the game without you! ”

O'Neal scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line in the half, but unfortunately couldn't provide an assist.

Everyone on the Lakers gathered around O'Neal, and the atmosphere team was worried about the angry shark throwing punches.

If there is an intra-team boxing match in the United States, this can be laughed at for a season.

Phil Jackson only felt like a big head, and this season the Knicks have a lot of tactical coordination, and the players are more mature than last season.

It was expected that the OK combination, which was still at its peak, would be able to kill all sides, but the old man of KFC never expected that the contradiction between the two would completely explode.

The Knicks took a big lead, and the two people in the commentary booth chatted about the gossip at the All-Star Game.

Mav Albert and Mike Flatello also happened to be the commentators of the All-Star Game, and gave fans another science about the reasons for the OK combination quarrel.

The live director also felt that the Knicks had won, and the camera began to focus on the blonde girl in Lee You's exclusive seat.

Catherine dressed up in jeans and sweatshirt tonight, just waved and smiled at the camera, the Canadian 18th-tier actor is really not well-known in the United States

After the start of the second half, the Lakers couldn't adjust, O'Neal yelled fiercely, and the defensive end was gone.

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, watched Lee You raise the ball and throw it after receiving Gasol's hand on the right wing, and simply walked straight to the bench.

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

The old man of KFC did not ask for a timeout, returned to his seat and folded his arms, without saying a word, as if entering a state of contemplation.

On the other side of the Knicks bench, D'Antoni smiled and squinted again, in addition to clapping his hands, he would occasionally raise his hands with the audience to celebrate.

Li You could naturally sense the frustration of several people on the Lakers, and this time he took advantage of O'Neal's free throws and joked with a smile:

"You're down so badly? Dynasty team? Could it be that I drank too much champagne last year? ”

O'Neal didn't compare shooting, first turned his head and glared at Kobe, and then pouted at Li You, and said in a deep voice:

"It's just the regular season, even if we are eighth, we can still enter the finals, in the West, no one is our opponent!"

"Whatever you say, I can dominate the game!"

After saying this, O'Neill missed two free throws, cursed angrily, and began to turn back and run.

In the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant didn't get many chances, apparently at halftime, the Lakers made it clear that they wanted to give the ball to the boss.

The Lakers have never been able to play a wave of highs, O'Neal is indeed still +2, but the problems on the defensive end cannot be solved.

At 26:28 in the single quarter, the third quarter was over, and the score difference was widened

In the final quarter of the game, the Knicks rotated step by step, the Lakers did not die in the main team, Phil Jackson seemed to have given up, and the entire bench was silent.

The main lineups of both sides only played for more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, after which the atmosphere team completely took over the game.

In the end, 100:117, the Knicks defeated the Lakers at home!

After the game, Kobe Bryant didn't greet anyone with a towel, and was the first to walk to the full aisle.

The New York fans on both sides were so happy to see such a scene, and everyone cheered and shouted:

"Shaq wants to trade you!"

The news arranged by the New York Post is very popular with local fans, and the fans at the scene don't care about the authenticity of the news, everyone just wants to have fun!

If there is a conflict with the boss, according to the practice of NBA teams, it is natural to trade the younger brother.

Bryant's face darkened when he heard this, and he quickened his pace, and soon walked to the locker room and disappeared

Played 34 minutes, 12-of-20, 4-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free throw line, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

Li You easily got two double-doubles, and in an interview after the game, the cheers in the stadium still couldn't stop:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Craig Sager looked at the shouting and jumping New York fans, and laughed along:

"Lee, 45-4, incredible! I even think you have a chance to break the best record in the history of the Bulls! ”

Hearing the other party's emotion, Li You didn't blow X, and then the Knicks ushered in a continuous Western away game, and the schedule was not friendly:

"It's good to break the record, of course, but our goal is still to win the championship!"

"This season we're going to bring the O'Brien Cup back to New York."

'At the moment we have a huge lead, so the first goal is to stay fit and get more chances from the bench!"

“.”

On February 12, the headlines of the sports section of the New York Times began to mock opponents again:

"The thief will send the O'Brien Cup back to New York soon!"

"The Knicks aren't interested in Kobe Bryant!"

"New York won't welcome a Michael Jordan copycat."

"Shaquille O'Neal in the playoffs will continue to be swept away!"

Most of the columns don't analyze any tactical play at all, and fans don't like to read professional analysis, everyone is emotional output.

On the morning of the 12th, Li You was eating breakfast in Catherine's apartment, and when he saw the news in the newspaper, he shook his head boredly.

From '96 to '03, he witnessed the changes in these columns in the sports sector.

In the past, there was rigorous tactical analysis, but now, most of the articles have become small essays that cater to the preferences of fans.

Just as TNT's programming began to move in the direction of revitalization, columnists had to compromise with traffic as the influence of print media gradually diminished.

Catherine, who took a shower and wore a wide white T-shirt, rubbed her messy blonde hair, and sat down at the dining table still looking like she hadn't woken up:

"Are you leaving New York tomorrow? I just found out that you have to fly so many times a year. ”

The Knicks have 6 Western road games to play, Lee Woo won't be able to return to Manhattan until the end of the month, and the blonde girl has not had a good audition recently, and she hasn't even gotten a small role, and she has been in a bad mood these days.

Li You took a sip of milk, hooked his fingers, and soon Catherine sat in his arms, looked at the other party's somewhat depressed eyes, and whispered:

"You don't have to wronged yourself, and you don't have to compromise with anyone, I'll play to support you!"

Catherine immediately laughed when she heard this, kissed Li You hard, hugged her neck and giggled:

"The little man's promise is unreliable!"

Both of their birthdays are in December, Catherine is a few days older, Li You noticed that the other party was twisting in his arms again, and immediately kissed each other fiercely:

"I've always been talking!"

The two quickly had an in-depth exchange in the chair, and Li You's balanced left-hand ball control technique soon allowed him to find a chance to go straight in!

On February 14, Valentine's Day, the Knicks challenged the Suns away.

In this game, Stoudemire broke out again, and under the feeding of Li You and Knight, he made 9 of 13 and slashed a double-double of 25 points and 10 rebounds!

At 118:98, the Knicks successfully got the away opener.

A lot of times there is talent that can do whatever it wants, and all of Stoudemire's goals have come in the paint area right in front of the basket.

Marbury enjoyed a core treatment, and was led by the Knicks' perimeter defenders throughout the game.

He scored 28 points on 10-of-27 shooting in the game, and although the data was not bad, Marbury broke the defense a little after the game, and complained in an interview:

"I even get caught in the middle of a two-man game, and our pre-race preparation is really terrible!"

Marbury's experience is a microcosm of the team's core players behind, and in the next few Western Conference away games, the Knicks consciously began to wrap up and defend.

After successively defeating the SuperSonics and the Warriors, the Knicks ushered in a rematch with the Lakers.

On the night of the 20th, at the Staples Arena, O'Neill sat on the bench in a formal suit.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was constantly being caught and the Lakers made mistakes in two consecutive rounds, O'Neal pulled the corners of his mouth, as if suppressing his smile.

O'Neal was out of action due to injury, and without restraint, Kobe Bryant completely let himself go.

Two defend, shoot!

Three-man defend, throw!

Rushing into the basket, the paint area is full of people, Kobe Bryant is still fearless, relying on his excellent flexibility, lying down and shooting again and again!

Excel has long been left behind by Kobe, he doesn't care about the data at all, he only has the basket in his eyes, and he just wants to shred the Knicks' defense after receiving the ball!

Phil Jackson's words have also become a deaf ear, and Kobe, who is addicted to the game, seems to have entered a "white hot space", and everything that has nothing to do with basketball has completely disappeared.

It wasn't until there were 3 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game that Kobe Bryant was substituted off the court, returned to his seat, and heard faint boos in the arena, that he completely came to his senses.

At 106:86, the Knicks had already switched to the bench lineup, and the game was out of suspense.

Played 41 minutes, 12-of-31, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-10 from the free throw line, 35 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

Kobe Bryant, who was draped in a towel, was a little confused when he saw his technical statistics:

"Is it all an illusion, I haven't entered the "white hot space"? ”

At the end of the game, Bryant was still sitting on the bench and seemed unable to accept such a result.

This time it was O'Neal's turn to walk to the players' tunnel early, shaking his head as he walked, although he didn't play, but who is the boss fans can naturally see clearly!

D'Antoni came to the technical desk and shook hands with Phil Jackson, of course the two had no grudges, but the old KFC man looked at the smiling face of the mustache and his heart was full of anger.

"It's a shame the Lakers have had an injury, and hopefully we can meet on a higher stage this year!"

Hearing this compliment, Phil Jackson just said a couple of words and then turned away.

The Lakers fans on both sides of the tunnel were not in a high mood, and Phil Jackson glanced at it, quickened his pace and cursed in his heart:

"Hell, noob!"

The champion coach was killed by the rookie coach, and the Los Angeles Times also expressed dissatisfaction after the game, while criticizing the old man of KFC and Kobe:

"The tactics are suppressed, the core players are playing inefficiently, maybe we should really make a change!"

On the 21st, the people who eat melons finally waited for the news, and a blockbuster transaction attracted everyone's attention:

The Bucks traded Ray Allen, Ronald Murray, Kevin Ollie, and a 2003 first-round pick to the SuperSonics.

In the end, Gary Payton and Desmond Mason were exchanged.

The deal really happened, and the people who ate melons were dumbfounded, and the players who were at their peak went to change the old man at the end of their careers, and the Bucks took the wrong medicine?

The Knicks ushered in back-to-back games that night and continued to challenge the Trail Blazers on the road.

Although the blacksmith lost the match, the sports media did not focus on the outcome of the match, but took the initiative to ask Lee Woo for his opinion on the trade.

ESPN's reporters were the most direct and asked the questions they wanted to ask:

"Lee, will you recruit your own friends when Ray Allen's contract expires?"

Seeing that everyone had brought the recording equipment in front of him, Li You, who was leaning on the chair in the dressing room, replied seriously:

"I respect Ray's personal choice, the SuperSonics also have good talent, Rashad is an underrated guy and I know what he's capable of."

"If Ray wants to play in New York, I'll welcome him, but I know he should have preferred to beat me!"

"He's going to be successful with the SuperSonics, and the Bucks will soon be out of the playoffs."

"I'm looking forward to playing against my friends on a higher stage, but for now we have to continue our road trip and I want to focus on the next games!"

On the 23rd, the Knicks ushered in the last Western road trip of the month.

Chris Webber has recently returned from injury, and the Kings are in great form with a big win over the Celtics the day before yesterday.

The Knicks suffered injuries in the first half, and in a scramble for rebounds, Grant Hill got to his foot and had no choice but to leave the game.

Artest appeared to have strained his shoulder in the scramble with Christie, and he also went out injured in the third quarter.

In the end, 92:86, relying on a tougher defense, the Knicks won the iron battle.

There were injuries to the starting line-up, and D'Antoni also complained twice in his post-match interview:

"I didn't like the blows tonight, Christie and Ron's injuries could have been avoided!"

The two sides did get some gunpowder, and when TNT's reporters asked about their records, D'Antoni finally said modestly:

"The best record in history? That's not something I'm supposed to think about as a rookie coach. ”

"This season we are only aiming for the championship and I believe Lee, who will lead the team to win the O'Brien Cup again!"
