Chapter 313: More Fun (Everyday Chapters)

How can the average player increase his popularity?

The easiest way to do this is to impress the fans in a strong conversation.

On the night of November 19, Laga Bell faced Kobe Bryant, who was traveling at a staggered peak, and the two frequently collided physically.

In the rotation, the Lakers usually use Fisher and Hores Grant, and tonight's game, Phil Jackson gave more playing time to Malone's old teammate and Brian Russell.

The Lakers dream of returning to the lineup of the previous two years, but the personnel are still there, but the physical condition of several veterans has declined a lot.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks rotated a large area, and the opponent played iron, relying on Stoudemire's offense to still maintain the lead.

With 8:46 left in the half, Mutombo scored a layup under the basket in the last round, and when he turned around, O'Neal wanted to continue to attack in the low post.

The New York fans at the scene watched energetically, and the defensive shouts became louder and louder:

“Defense!.”

After Fisher's debut, the Lakers reverted to their previous offensive routine, the classic start of the triangle offense.

When O'Neal was about to ask for the ball in the left low post, Kobe Bryant in the bottom left corner took the lead and came to the left wing to complete the hand-to-hand with Fisher.

According to the tactical requirements, Kobe Bryant either chose to hoist the ball directly to O'Neal on the inside at this time, or call for blocking, let Fisher slip the bottom line, and form a local 2-on-2.

However, tonight started the game, O'Neal frequently output Kobe Bryant on the bench, and both played with emotions.

finally got the ball, Kobe Bryant didn't call for blocking, after receiving the ball, he put the ball with his right hand, and his body shook to the front of the right and changed direction sharply.

Switching to the left hand, Kobe Bryant shook off a trace of space and immediately accelerated to break through.

O'Neal, who was still asking for the ball on the inside, was choked by Kobe's offensive choice, and without paying attention, Mutombo completed the defense around the front.

Fisher had just come to the bottom left corner at this time, saw Kobe Bryant break through, and hurriedly slipped the bottom line, trying to open up the offensive space.

Offense and defense are a matter of moments, making the wrong offensive choice, Bryant broke through to the left side of the block, and found himself surrounded by three people.

Laga Bale, who was sliding on the defense, did not lose his position, still guarding the right side of Kobe, and Knight, who gave up defending Fisher, also pounced and cooperated with his teammates to complete the pack.

Mutombo saw the opportunity and raised his hands to block Kobe's passing route, and under the three-man encirclement, Kobe was forced to stop the ball.

Raja Bale stepped forward to press and sliced the ball hard, hitting Bryant's hand and then slicing the ball away.

“Wow!”

Seeing the completion of the steal, the New York fans at the scene cheered, and Kobe, who dropped the ball, reacted quickly and regained control of the ball as soon as possible.

He also complained loudly to the linesman, which Bryant thought was a foul move.

The referee didn't say anything, and the annoyed Kobe simply raised his elbow and picked up the ball.

Perhaps it wasn't enough to learn this skill with Big Brother just now, Kobe Bryant's elbow action was too obvious, first hitting Knight, and then giving Raja Bell an elbow.

Once in the face and once in the shoulder, the referee immediately blew the whistle and blew Kobe's offensive foul.

The angry Kobe Bryant turned his head and wanted to complain to the referee, but he didn't expect a strong force on his side and was pushed and stumbled.

Without waiting for Kobe to react, Raga Bell showed his style of boxing in his spare time, stepping forward and slamming a backhand directly into Kobe's face.

"Ahh

The sudden clash didn't make the New York fans happy, and everyone shouted excitedly as they watched Kobe Bryant scuffle with Raja Bell and Knight.

O'Neal saw that Kobe Bryant fell into the disadvantage, and in just a few seconds, he took a few punches in a row, and wanted to rush up to help his little brother.

Mutombo crossed in front of O'Neal and pushed it by the way, thinking that the other party would bump into him again, but he didn't expect O'Neill to just stand in place and shout loudly, but stopped.

On the contrary, Fisher wanted to rush up to help, but was hugged by Prince:

"Calm down, man!"

The linesman watched as Bryant took a few punches before rushing into the middle of the group and pulling the two sides apart.

Brian Russell hurriedly hugged Kobe Bryant at this time and tried to pull him away, but Kobe, who suffered a big loss, was still complaining to the referee excitedly at this time:

"Obviously he's fouled in front of your eyes!"

Seeing that the referee was indifferent and gestured to signal a technical foul on both sides, Kobe Bryant didn't hold back and began to output the referee.

Raga Bell laughed and applauded on the side, seeing that Kobe Bryant was extremely emotional, he began to arch the fire again:

"Two more times, you softass, I'm here!"

Hugged by his teammates, Bryant began to ignore the referee and start a conflict, which completely annoyed the linesman, and pointed to the player's tunnel after a continuous whistle.

Bryant was sent off, and Raja Bell burst into laughter again, and soon he also saw the referee's instructions, and he also walked off the court

"Oh!"

Raga Bale, who walked to the players' tunnel, was cheered by the fans at the scene, and on the other side, Kobe Bryant walked past Phil Jackson with his head down, sensing that the head coach did not say anything, and his mood was even more depressed.

The old man of KFC looked serious and did not complain to the referee, but waved his hand and motioned for Gary Payton to appear on the court.

On the Knicks' side, Li You and everyone watched a good show, and Coach D'Antoni beckoned and rotated in advance.

The atmosphere in the stadium became particularly noisy because of this clash, and many fans even felt that it was not enough, and began to provoke O'Neill again

Before Li You executed the technical free throw, he saw O'Neal pulling his teammates to explain his tactics, and couldn't help but joke:

"There's no excuse for losing this time!"

"The game has just begun, and you still can't stop me!"

O'Neal immediately choked back, and in a matter of minutes he had allowed Mutombo to receive two fouls, which made him quite complacent.

Both sides hit technical free throws, the main lineup returned, and the game quickly got into the rhythm of the Knicks.

The Lakers' backcourt continued to play iron, and Gary Payton was no longer talking, and he didn't take advantage of Artest.

As for Fisher, although he worked hard defensively, the effect was limited, and from time to time he had to let Payton cooperate with the bag.

The Knicks' defense is getting smaller and smaller, and although O'Neal, who is trapped, can find Malone, the latter also hits the iron after hitting a jumper just after he hit the court.

In the second half of the second quarter of the game, O'Neal frequently completed the offense against the interior double defense, except for the free throw, which was iron, and the Lakers' tactics were completely ineffective.

Too much individual singles brought more counter-attacks, and Payton, realizing that something was wrong, began to consciously control the pace of the game.

“Defense!.”

In the sound of defensive cheering, Payton did not choose to simply and rudely hoist the ball to the inside, but re-launched the block and signaled Malone to lift up.

"Kurt delayed!"

Instead of stepping off the line to defend, Li You shouted a reminder to his teammates while quickly squeezing through the cover.

Payton, who was trying to break through with a pick-and-roll on the right wing, was first delayed by Kurt Thomas, and his explosive power dropped and he couldn't accelerate past him.

I wanted to complete the pass, but Li You behind him moved quickly and squeezed to Payton's side early, and the two collided with each other, making Ma Long, who was completely vacant, unable to receive the pass at the first time.

Seeing Lee retake the defense, Kurt Thomas quickly returned to position, and Payton was forced to slow down on the right side.

The tactical execution failed, and Payton began to turn his back, trying to get close to the basket while protecting the ball, and arched sharply in succession

Set up his right forearm, Li You did not forget to interfere with his left hand while defending it.

Malone noticed that the attack was completely stalled, and immediately beckoned to Fisher on the left flank, took the initiative to come to the line, and made an off-ball cover at the top of the arc.

Fisher used the cover to quickly move to the right flank, and Payton rushed to deliver the ball.

After receiving the ball, Fisher didn't make too many adjustments, and made a quick jump shot against Artest, who was chasing from the side.

"Bang!"

The three-point shot was ridiculously crooked, and the basketball smashed on the rebound in a hurry.

With a quick rebound, Kurt Thomas was stunned, picked up a backcourt rebound at the free throw line, and then immediately threw the ball forward.

Grant Hill started early to shake off Devin George behind him, grabbed the ball from the three-point line, and then rushed up in three steps.

After jumping high, he grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, and Grant Hill folded and dunked!

At 40:54, the margin returned to 14 points.

“Wow!”

The cheers resounded in the arena, and Li You also clapped his hands, and after the re-entry of the game in the second quarter, he did not attack frequently, but put more energy into defense.

"Choose to break to the basket, maybe you can score points by free throws!"

Li Youxiao followed behind Peyton and began to make suggestions again.

Payton, who was about to catch the ball on the baseline, noticed that Li You's hand was on his body again, and waved his arms in frustration, trying to get rid of this kraft defense.

The referee looked at the two, Li You immediately let go, Payton took the opportunity to catch the ball on the baseline, just dribbled two steps, and became entangled with Li You.

Rushing to stop and accelerate, and quickly dribbling the ball behind him, Payton rushed across the halfway line and still couldn't get rid of the entanglement, but was disturbed by Li You's frequent cutting of the ball and ruined the dribbling rhythm.

Seeing Li You sticking to the cut ball again, Payton at the top of the arc hurriedly changed direction under his crotch, and when he switched to his right hand, he noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed it with his left arm.

"Squeak!"

The push was too obvious, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and blew Payton's push foul.

"Oh!"

The cheers of the fans at the scene became particularly harsh, and Peyton, who was deflated, stared at his eyes and scolded in annoyance:

"Hell game!"

The Knicks' game strategy was simple and brutal, using the excellent defensive ability of the perimeter players to suppress the opponent's backcourt and prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball in a comfortable position.

On the offensive end, despite Gasol's mediocre defensive performance against O'Neal in several rounds, Lee Yoo continued to feed the ball.

After two consecutive rounds of breaking through and missing the basket, this time Gasol received a pass from Li You with his back in the left blocking area and immediately turned to attack with the frame.

O'Neill lowered his center of gravity, raised his right hand, and remained motionless in the face of Gasol's triple threat.

Sweeping the ball quickly, Gasol didn't make any more complicated moves, but suddenly made a force under his feet and made a dry jump shot!

Gasol was also relieved to get 2 points in the singles, and wasting the ball would also put a lot of pressure on him.

In retrospect, the Lakers were a simple and rough offense, with O'Neal at the free throw line.

Kevin Harlan on the commentator bench watched the point difference shrink and began to talk about topics outside the game:

"The Knicks have added a lot of Gasol's offense this year, and in the third season of his career, Gasol has played more aggressively than when he first entered the league!"

Doug Collins liked the Knicks' team culture, and when he remembered the Kwame Brown he met when he was coaching, he couldn't help but sigh:

"No matter how talented a player is, it takes a lot of playing time and shots to grow."

"The Knicks obviously have a long-term plan, and they see Gasol as a cornerstone on the inside, so it's natural to gradually increase his tactical position."

"The Pistons' Milicic doesn't seem to have earned the trust of head coach Larry Brown yet, which is definitely not a good thing for the rookies."

While the two were still chatting, O'Neal hit a second free throw, the rebound was protected by Gasol, and then another long throw.

Payton tried hard to chase and keep making small movements, but he was still managed by Li You to catch the ball in the middle line.

Accelerating against the defense, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, rushed faster and faster, and came to the left flank in the blink of an eye.

Payton noticed that his teammates couldn't get back in time, and the back-to-back runs seemed to tire Malone and O'Neal, just past halftime

Slightly distracted, Payton realized that Li You leaned over to accelerate, and hurriedly slid to the right rear.

After a quick crossover step pull, Li You changed to his right hand after an emergency stop, returned to the three-point line, looked up at the frame, and feigned the ball with his left hand.

Peyton followed his body instinct, subconsciously jumped up the block, and when he flew into the air, he could only watch Li You's center of gravity lower and easily squeeze past him

“Wow!”

Looking at Payton who was on the three-point line after landing on the ground, the fans cheered again.

The Lakers have not been able to complete the retreat, and Li You, who broke through to the paint area, jumped high, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and glided and dunked!

Raising his arms in some embarrassment, Peyton's face stretched long, signaling to his teammates that it was his problem.

When he was about to catch the ball on the baseline, Payton found Li You waiting for him under the basket, pursed his lips and did not speak, allowing the fans to taunt him.

The Lakers' game was completely turned into O'Neal free throws and Karl Malone made free throws.

In the final minutes, Madison Square Garden booed continuously, and although the referees gave the Lakers a chance, the margin gradually widened.

At 46:64, looking at the close to 20-point difference, the New York fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory in advance again.

O'Neal, who walked towards the players' tunnel, watched the fans on both sides holding his "missing person" and hurriedly took a deep breath to control his emotions.

4-of-8 in the quarter, 4-of-7 free throws, and 12, O'Neal scored half of the team's points.

Back in the locker room and sitting back in his seat, O'Neal didn't look at Kobe Bryant, who was in an "unhappy" state on the other side, but looked at the old man at KFC and asked in a low voice:

"Why are we so far behind? This is not in line with our game plan! ”

Phil Jackson, of course, would not say that the backcourt was completely suppressed, stared at O'Neal and seriously made an excuse for him:

"We just can't afford it!"

“.”

Fisher had just returned to his seat, and when he heard the head coach's words, he lowered his head in embarrassment and drank water, 0 of 5, zero points were hung, and the empty jump shot hit the iron again and again.

Payton also had an ugly face and didn't score a point in the half, which was also said to him.

Malone knew that the game was gone, and at this time he turned into a "bosom brother" and comforted Kobe:

"When everybody has an impulse, it's just a regular season!"

"Don't complain when you lose, be like a man, we'll win back when we get back at home!"

Big Brother's words made Kobe, who was a little guilty, nod again and again, and he took the responsibility for the loss on himself:

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have played against the role players, I shouldn't have complained to the referee, I ruined the game."

"I promise, when we get back home, we'll beat our opponents!"

Kobe Bryant looked serious and admitted his mistake to everyone in a low voice, but Phil Jackson didn't buy it, and after the illegal invasion, he simply didn't like Kobe.

After the start of the second half, as the game went by, the Knicks began to try more tactical routines.

Peyton was completely lost his temper by Li You's entanglement, and seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, he simply let himself go, fired again and again outside the three-point line, and the blind chickens beat randomly.

The three-pointer that was released hit the iron, and the Knicks started a new round of transition offense.

At the end of the third quarter, too many switchbacks allowed O'Neal to raise his hand for a substitution, and the Sharks stopped playing, opting to surrender early

Watching the two sides begin to rotate the lineup, on the commentary bench, Kevin Harlan also made an excuse for the Lakers:

"In back-to-back games, the Lakers' fitness suffered, and given the structure of their roster, it was understandable that they didn't feel good outside shooting tonight."

"The regular season has just begun, and Coach Phil Jackson still needs to continue to run in the lineup, and it is difficult to beat the defending champions by relying only on star singles!"

Gary Payton was 0-of-8 tonight, scoring four points on free throws in the third quarter, and Doug Collins also made excuses for the veteran after seeing the technical statistics:

"Payton obviously hasn't adapted to the team's tactical system yet, so we should give him more time and I'm sure he'll find his groove as the season progresses!"

After the start of the fourth quarter, Coach D'Antoni on the sidelines crossed his arms and looked at the situation on the court with a smile.

He still has some regrets in his heart, the Lakers surrendered too early, and before they had time to adjust the small lineup, the opponent stopped cooking.

The Lakers, who surrendered too early, encountered an embarrassing situation, their bench lineup was too weak, and they were hit hard by the Knicks' rotation lineup!

Watching the point difference widen, the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden became more and more enthusiastic, and the New York fans at the scene shouted vigorously.

This situation also made the atmosphere group enthusiastic, and completely blew up the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench, watched Prince steal Luke Wharton and couldn't help but subconsciously hold his forehead.

After the steal, no one was guarded and skated for a dunk, Prince completed the dunk, and Madison Square Garden was boiling again.

The Lakers' frontcourt trio of Wharton, Bryan Russell, and Horace Grant didn't have a good way to face Stoudemire.

Attacking in the low post, following up on the offensive after blocking and dismantling, following up on the dunk in the transition offense, and sending a big hat on the defensive end, Stoudemire was completely crazy in the second half of the quarter.

Fisher and Kareem Rush, who came on the pitch, were numb, and Matt Barnes, who had rarely been given a chance to play, had no intention of letting go of the water.

The big man Wright also wanted to find a good state on the soft persimmon, and for a while, the Lakers had a scoring drought.

It wasn't until the final 58 seconds of the game that Fisher hit the Lakers' first three-pointer of the game.

As the two sides stopped attacking, the New York fans at the scene stood up and gave applause, and the cheers resounded in the stadium again.

At 88:116, the Knicks beat their opponents and continued their winning streak.

Returning to the tunnel early, the Lakers just wanted to leave, it was a nightmare game.

He played only 31 minutes, 11-of-18, 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 32 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 1 turnover.

After the game, ESPN's reporter interviewed Li You without mentioning the data, because the scene was too noisy, he could only raise the volume and ask a simple question loudly:

"Lee, tonight's game, we witnessed Ling's excellent defense!"

"Gary Payton only had 4 points on his account and also had 4 turnovers, are you going to compete for the Defensive Player of the Year award this year?"

Li You sweated a little in the first quarter, and if the Lakers didn't resist later, he would touch the fish, and immediately shook his head when he heard this question:

"Ron is the better defender and he's always been responsible for defending the opposition's core players."

"I have a lot of respect for Payton, but no one can fight against time, and neither does he."

"It's really easy for me to play against a veteran like that! I just did what the coaching staff had to do. ”

“.”

O'Neill did not attend the post-match press conference due to a recurrence of his toe injury.

When Kobe Bryant and his big brother Malone appeared in front of the sports media together, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times was the first to ask:

"Kobe, can you tell us about your performance? With 28 points, it didn't seem like we should have lost that much, and our bench lineup even scored only 18 points in the fourth quarter. ”

Kobe Bryant, who was in a bad mood, was a little silent, he didn't want to make excuses, and the good big brother Malone took the initiative to help the younger brother out of the siege at this time:

"I liked Kobe's performance, he fought like a man tonight!"

"It's just a regular season, and we've been playing together for more than a month."

"It's against the defending champions and I don't want to stress how strong they are, but let's not forget that they just got 73 wins last season."

"Time will tell, and at the end of this season, you'll see the Lakers lift the championship!"

Karl Malone, who has always been bad at words, suddenly sent chicken soup, which moved Kobe Bryant beside him, and looked at the good big brother who was fighting with the sports media in the audience, Kobe Bryant secretly decided:

"We must win this year!"

Although the Lakers' loss caused some ball critics to discuss it, as Michael Jackson formed a fantasy lawyer team, sports programs also began to follow suit.

On the 21st, the attention of the whole country was attracted by the Michael Jackson fan support group.

Fans spontaneously organized and gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to protest, convinced that Michael Jackson was maliciously slandered.

The melon-eating masses in Los Angeles still cared about the Lakers' loss at this time, everyone had long left the game behind, and several major news stations on TV repeatedly broadcast the progress of the case.

The stars of the entertainment industry also took this opportunity to gain popularity, and they appeared on the show one after another, telling the gossip they got.

That night, during the Knicks' away game against the Pistons, there were even fans who held up the whiteboard for Michael Jackson.

As long as it involves live TV, you can see these die-hard fans.

After head coach Larry Brown took over the Pistons, the team's offense didn't improve.

In the starting lineup, Billups and Hamilton in the backcourt are still the main scorers;

The front three of Terry Muskie, Ben Wallace and Elden Campbell who started tonight are capable of attacking.

In the first quarter of the game, Billups was 2-of-8 by Li You, 0-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and only scored 4 points.

The leading scorer was limited, which made the Pistons' offense more and more constipated.

At 27:16 in the first quarter, the Pistons trailed by 11 points thanks to excellent defense.

In the rotation, Collis Williams hit the iron, which gradually widened the point difference, and Larry Brown roared again and again, but still couldn't stop the Knicks from scoring.

Stoudemire has been in excellent form lately, and he doesn't have complicated tricks, receiving the ball in the low post, relying on his more agile body, turning quickly and forcing the frame.

After blocking and dismantling, he catches the ball and goes down, with excellent explosiveness, throws himself in the air, and it is easy to get points.

Defensively, the Knicks insisted on zone defense, and under the 32 joint defense, they consciously gave the opponent three points in the bottom corner, plus Mutombo was able to help Stoudemire fill the position, and the rotation lineup Knicks completely suppressed the opponent.

At the end of the half, at 55:38, the game lost its suspense.

Ben Wallace returned to his seat at half-time and remained silent, and although he worked hard defensively, he was still unable to cope with the onslaught of Stadamire.

The defense is never alone, and when Lee You and Stoudemire initiate a pick-and-roll, once the teammates on the line are out of position, "Big Ben" has to help defend.

That gives Stoudemire the chance, who can always get to the basket and score points as long as he catches the ball in the middle.

After leaving the Knicks, although "Big Ben" reaped the honor, his exposure decreased a lot.

Coupled with the fact that the Pistons lost all four games in the playoffs and the Nets' semifinals to their opponents in rebounding, Ben Wallace was questioned.

He was able to get good rebounding stats in every game, but the Pistons were robbed by the Nets in the series.

Billups is the same, won the championship with the Knicks, was educated by Kidd after coming to the Pistons, and his performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year was extremely stretched.

Even if he played a good record in the regular season and stopped eating in the playoffs, this kind of soft-footed shrimp performance also caused Billups to receive a lot of criticism.

Seeing that no one was talking, Hamilton took the initiative in the dressing room and encouraged with a serious expression:

"There's still time to play, we have to keep our spirits up! It doesn't matter if you can't shoot, defend well and we'll find our chances! ”

“.”

In the dressing room, "Big Ben" was the leader of the team, Hamilton's words were mediocre, and Ben Wallace was still in a state of self-doubt at this point.

Coach Larry Brown returned to the locker room and didn't deliver chicken soup, but instead wrote and drew on the tactics board and harshly criticized the team's defense.

"Be resolute, I don't want to see you change the game plan you made before the game!"

"Listen, talent alone can't beat the defending champions, we can't make mistakes, we have to cherish every round!"

After the start of the third quarter, Larry Brown's set-up didn't make any difference.

Gasol frequently received the ball in the blocking zone to respond to the attack, and Ben Wallace could only watch the Knicks play his familiar Flex cover and cut to the basket to score.

In the second half of the game, Li You and Gasol added a lot of hand-to-hand cooperation.

The defense was out of position, and Ben Wallace could only watch Lee Yo shoot from beyond the three-point line.

More off-ball runs, more screens, more transition offenses.

Grant Hill was as fierce as a tiger in the 3rd quarter, with sudden free throws, and continued to score points!

Under the stubborn defense of the Pistons, at 32:20 in the single quarter, the Knicks completely won the game.

At 87:58 a.m., at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Pistons fans began booing Grant Hill.

Every time he faced his old club, Grant Hill would take the initiative.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Pistons' defense finally worked, but the fans at the scene had long since lost their emotions, and everyone waited quietly for the game to end.

In the end, 111-84, the Knicks continued their winning streak.

After losing by a big score, everyone on the Pistons team was in a bad mood and left the game early after saying hello.

When walking towards the player's tunnel, Ewing, who has read the technical statistics, is also sorry for the former "little book":

"Ben's height is the biggest disadvantage, and after a few years, his offense is still the same."

The Gorilla was a little disdainful of "Big Ben's" skills, and tonight the former teammate was 4-of-11 for 8 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

Facing the Knicks' interior, the Pistons also had problems with rebounding, losing 9 rebounds at 49:40 in garbage time.

The teammates were still gossiping about Michael Jackson's news, and Lee Woo casually responded when he heard Ewing's words:

"It's enough to get a big contract on defense, and as for offense, it's a small gift that comes with it!"

“.”

On the 22nd, back in Manhattan, the Knicks ushered in the final game of the week, back-to-back against the 76ers.

Iverson scored 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line in the first half.

At 40:58, after halftime, the 76ers trailed by 18 points.

Completely focused on defense, Lee Woo left Iverson lost again.

Halfway through the third quarter, Iverson, who continued to shoot, hit the iron again and again.

With 8 points on 3-of-9 shooting in the quarter, Iverson led the Knicks to a wave.

At the end of the third quarter, 62:86, the game entered garbage time again.

At Madison Square Garden, Iverson also missed a free throw, and after being punched hard, he was ridiculed by the fans when he lay on the floor.

In the end, 82:116, the Knicks defeated the 76ers, and Iverson, who broke the defense, suffered a recurrence of his knee injury after the game and failed to attend the press conference.

In several consecutive games, Li You has a double-double of 28+10, although the data looks mediocre, but he has a strong presence on the field.

New York fans love to see Li You make the opponent's core players deflated, and the only regret is that there are too few top iron players who provoke Li You.

After a few years of beating in the Eastern Conference, most of the players are numb.

Perhaps only when the 03 class grows up, and Li You becomes an old man, can he see the scene that some fans are looking forward to.

It was rare to attend a press conference, and when Li You walked to the stage in a black suit and white shoes, many media reporters clicked and pressed their cameras again.

The New York Times reporter didn't talk much about the outcome of tonight's game, and in everyone's opinion, the 76ers were the ones to send the record:

"Lee, we've noticed that Red Football Capital seems to be making another takeover of Manchester United."

'There was a huge response from fans in the UK, and there were protests at Old Trafford.

"Does that mean the acquisition will fail?"

The people who eat melons are no longer satisfied with the news of the NBA, Li You touched his chin, but he didn't expect the New York reporter to be so well-informed:

"Of course I'm not going to give up on the takeover, the fans in England just don't know me."

"The acquisition will be a long process, all I have to do is be patient, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!"

The New York Post reporter is more concerned about Lee's recent defense:

"Lee, can you talk about your performance on the defensive end of the new season?"

"You've been limiting opposing players to less than 20 points in a couple of games, which is really good!"

"Ron is doing better, so you can keep an eye on his performance."

Li You stood up for his teammates as always, he did exert his strength on the defensive end, but there was no complicated reason, hearing that everyone was still touting his defense, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart:

"I'm just looking for more fun"
