Chapter 320: Reveal the Ball: Give the Ball to Lee (9600 Words Chapter)

On January 12, 2004, at Madison Square Garden, New York fans witnessed another scoring feast.

The Mavericks challenged the Knicks on the road, and with 23.5 seconds left in the third quarter, the score was 99-99 as Michael Finley assisted Novitzki on a three-pointer from the right wing.

The high score stimulated the New York fans at the scene to cheer again and again, and the fans who bought tickets tonight were considered to have a good look.

The old Nelson head coach kept calling on the players to step back, and tonight the Mavericks were almost unguarded, and the defense was simply marking.

After Nowitzki reached the No. 5 position, stabbing attacks have become the norm in the regular season.

In the third quarter of the game, the two sides had a chance to score more than 100 points, and many front-row fans also got up and clapped their hands, and the offense was better than the defense.

“Let's go Knicks!.”

The Knicks played the last game in the third quarter, and the fans continued to cheer loudly for the home team, and Lee Woo crossed the halfway line and began to control the time.

Nash played well tonight, and the two sides didn't have many rounds of positional battles, and after running, he made up for his disadvantage.

Seeing Li You consuming time near the logo, Nash did not take the initiative to step forward and maintain a certain defensive distance, which is the consensus of all players in the league.

Time passed quickly, and soon there were less than 10 seconds left, and the Mavericks did not have a bag, and they still chose to mark people as usual.

Less than 6 seconds later, Li You started, and when he was close to the three-point line, he dribbled the ball under the crotch with his left hand, and then quickly changed direction in front of the body.

Continuously shaking close to the defense, seeing Lee You's movements, Nash began to take the initiative to interfere when he stepped on the three-point line.

Quickly lowering the center of gravity of his body, Li You dribbled under his crotch again, and the moment he switched to his right hand, he was suddenly in and out.

While wrapping the ball inward, Lee You's body swayed to the left front, and Nash subconsciously slid to the right, only to lose his defensive position in an instant.

Dangling left and right, Li You quickly dribbled to the right front when he got rid of the defense, and then immediately stopped at the top of the arc, not giving the opponent a chance to pounce from the side, and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

The lights on the timer were already on as the basketball flew into the air, and the cheers grew louder and louder, as some fans followed suit and watched as the basketball hollowed into the net.

“Wow!”

99:102, the Knicks scored more than 100 points in the third quarter, and on the MSG commentary bench, Mav Albert couldn't help but say loudly:

"Crazy game, crazy scoring!"

'To watch a game like this on Monday night is something like that I think the fans in the room will be happy.'

Walter Fraser also felt outrageous, he knew that the fourth quarter of the game must have broken 120 points, in today's NBA league, such a scene is rare:

"The Mavericks really showed their terrifying scoring ability, and by the end of the game, both teams would have more than 90 rounds."

"Compared to the previous defensive battles, tonight's game was really more exciting."

In the third quarter, Lee was 12-of-19, 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and Lee had already scored 35 points.

On the Knicks bench, Coach D'Antoni didn't expect the opponent to be so strong, let alone that the opponent really withstood the offensive battle.

Nowitzki has scored 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.

"Keep attacking, they can't keep up with this efficiency all the time!"

"All we have to do is speed up the game!"

D'Antoni, who was sitting in front of everyone, didn't mention the defense at all, and after saying a few words, he began to tell the upcoming rotation lineup, so that Knight could run along.

On the other side, the old Nelson also didn't mention the matter of defense, and told the little man Travis Best who was about to appear:

"When the opportunity arises, the projection is completed, we have to believe in ourselves!"

"Get moving, shoot resolutely, and run with your opponent."

The Mavericks' rotation lineup looks good on the surface, with Best and Marquis Daniels partnering in the backcourt and Antoine Doldo in the frontcourt, Antoine Jamison, Michael Finley, and Antoine Walker.

Smallening the lineup, the Mavericks continued to pick up the pace, as did the Knicks, with Knight and Raja Bell forming the backcourt, and the front three being Hill, Prince, and Stoudemire.

The defense has been left behind by both sides, and at this time it is the attack.

Back in his seat, Li You looked relaxed, this game is not very expensive, Nash is very active defensively, but it is easy to get rid of him.

It was rare for D'Antoni not to sit on the bench and lean back tactically, but to come to the sidelines to command with the same passion as Nelson Sr.

Both coaches seem to prefer this kind of blind chicken rhythm of play.

For most of the game, Ewing was responsible for giving Gasol a chicken blood, and this trick didn't work well tonight.

Half of the German big man on the opposite side of the offense comes from three-point shooting, and some of it is breaking through with the ball, and the number of back-to-back singles is very small.

Seeing that the two sides began to run crazy again, the gorilla was no longer entangled, but sighed with Li You beside him:

"Seven All-Star selections, if you don't have a season, this would be your eighth."

"In the league, the rookie of the class of '96 is already a veteran!"

is only 26 years old after his birthday, although his age has increased, Li You feels that he has also become stronger:

"The veteran is very good, and he can get more respect!"

Ewing thinks about his career, and critics really began to respect him from the beginning.

Noticing Nowitzki, who was preparing to appear early, the gorilla remembered this person's comment and couldn't help but sigh again:

"If you want to reverse some stereotypes, you do need the blessing of a champion."

The Mavericks' record after making the trade was not ideal, and as such, commentators have been criticizing Nowitzki lately.

A big white man who likes to shoot, Nowitzki is still labeled as "soft".

The game played for almost three minutes, and the two sides made consecutive mistakes to hit the iron, but they didn't score a point, and the old Nelson was in a hurry, and Antoine Jamison made a mistake on the left flank and dropped the ball again.

After Hill completed the steal, the little man Knight stepped forward to answer, and in the half-transition offense, the Knicks chased the opponent's butt and rushed through the halfcourt.

In a "V-shaped" position, with the left elbow at the left, Stoudemire takes cover and then quickly descends.

Knight, who held the ball in his left hand, couldn't shake off Best in time, and the quality of the ball was not high, and Stoudemire, who was down the middle, couldn't adjust after receiving the ball, and the ball was cut away by Antoine Walker.

"Oh!"

The New York fans at the scene sighed, and after the substitute lineup came on, the offensive rhythm did not change, but the game became a rookie pecking at each other.

Not every guard can play a good pick-and-roll, and the stark contrast is that the game is more fluid when Nash and Lee Yow are on the floor.

With 8:52 left in the game, Antoine Walker stepped to the free-throw line as Stoudemire fouled, and the coaches of both sides chose to get back the main lineup.

On the Knicks' side, Grant Hill followed the break, and Prince remained on the court;

The Mavericks also retained Daniels, with Nowitzki continuing to play at the No. 5 spot.

Back on the bench, Stoudemire wasn't in a good mood, he didn't like to switchback.

The little man Knight has had a lot of injuries this season, and his game form has also been up and down, which has also made Stoudemire a little less easy ball.

Li You, who reappeared, stood outside the three-point line and teased Nash next to him:

"With the Mavericks' current record, there's a good chance you're going to miss the All-Star Game."

"I just could have had a few more days off, the All-Stars are boring!"

Nash, who was on his knees, clearly knew that he was going to be an All-Star and showed no concern about his imminent All-Star selection.

In the Western Conference, there are Francis and Cassel in the No. 1 position, the former has Yao Ming's blessing, and the latter has a better record.

Nash, who is in a contract year, is easy to say, but losing the All-Star selection will definitely affect him, and the Mavericks can take the opportunity to drive down the price.

Antoine Walker's free throws broke the scoring drought, 101-102, and the Mavericks still chased after it.

It was rare for an opponent to drag the game into the fourth quarter, and the New York fans watched happily and continued to shout in unison:

“Let's go Knicks!.”

Coach D'Antoni also came to the rescue at this time, shouting on the sidelines, signaling everyone to open up the attacking space.

Li You, who received the ball on the baseline, slowly dribbled through the half court, saw the Mavericks continue to keep the mark, came to the top of the arc, lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

While leading the ball forward, he turned his hip to increase his stride, Nash hurriedly slid to the left back, and Li You dribbled behind the ball and immediately shook out the space for his shot.

Adjusting the center of gravity of his body, Nash quickly pounced, and Li You, who returned to the three-point line, continued to dribble under his hip at this time, just to dodge the opponent's cutting interference.

Nash, who had been continuously mobilized his body's center of gravity, had unconsciously stepped up to the defense, and noticed that Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated again and instinctively slid to the left back.

Li You, who pretended to break through, took a big step and quickly and vigorously exploded the ball on the spot, and easily retreated without interference.

The sudden emergency stop made Nash's body stumble, and he didn't have time to jump up and block, Li You had already made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

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

The clean goal ignited the atmosphere in the arena again, and the old Nelson head coach didn't say much, and continued to wave his hand, signaling Nash to continue the attack.

On the baseline serve, the Mavericks advanced extremely fast, Li You led the defense, and Antoine Walker began to cover in the backcourt.

When he came to the top of the arc, Nowitzki also stood at the top of the arc, and Nash quickly circled the ball behind his back, and immediately accelerated to break through after switching to his right hand.

Gasol followed Nowitzki to the left flank, and Lee quickly squeezed through, and although he was half a body behind, he quickly chased down Nash's flank.

With no one on the Knicks' interior, Kurt Thomas was forced to move to the left near baseline to mark Walker, and the excellent breakaway space allowed Nash to go straight to the basket.

Sensing that Li You had chased after the defense, Nash who came to the paint area took the initiative to slow down, leaned on the defense, rushed up in three steps and approached the bottom right of the basket, and finally faced the block, twisted his body and lay down on his back!

Li You, who had been prepared, jumped high, and although Nash turned up the arc, the basketball that flew into the air was still touched by the fingers of Li You's left hand.

It only changed direction a little, and finally the basketball hit the board and stumbled out of the basket.

Nash, who lost his center of gravity, fell out of the bottom line, and after landing on the ground, Li You grabbed the rebound, and then rushed with the ball.

Nash, who got up from the floor, chased after him, and the Mavericks retreated quickly under the shouts of Nelson Sr., returning to the halfcourt to establish their defensive positions early.

Head coach D'Antoni also reminded loudly that the Knicks were all pulled away again.

At the top of the arc, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbled quickly under his crotch in the face of Nash, who was close to the defense.

While lowering the center of gravity, Li You, who switched to his right hand, took advantage of the opponent's sliding step to quickly reset and complete the crotch dribble again.

Nash, who was still twisting and sliding to the left behind, helplessly watched as Lee You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, squeezed past the right side of his body and easily broke through to the paint area.

"Oh!"

The beautiful pass made the New York fans cheer, and Nowitzki saw that Li You broke through to the front of the basket in the blink of an eye, and hurriedly moved forward and jumped to block.

Li You, who closed the ball in advance, jumped with his left foot, and completed the throw with his left hand, the basketball went over Nowitzki's fingertips, and the latter hit Li You's shoulder under inertia.

"Squeak! Swish! ”

“Wow!”

The whistle blew and the ball went in, and Madison Square Garden was boiling again.

Li You also had a smile on his face, shook his head slightly at the Mavericks, and then paced to the free throw line.

In less than a minute of play, the Knicks scored quickly, and the fans who watched it couldn't help but shout loudly again:

“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”

At 101:108, after hitting a free throw, the Knicks pulled away again.

The elder Nelson immediately called for a timeout, and Nowitzki was a little frustrated, and he gave away several 2+1s in this game

"We did a great job! Hang in there, Michael, I'd like to see you take the initiative to ask for the ball instead of waiting for it in the bottom corner all the time! ”

Michael Finley nodded immediately when he heard the head coach's words, and he showed a stretch in the first half and exploded in the third quarter, knowing that the team needed him at this time.

In the first round after the timeout, in the Mavericks' positional offense, Nash decisively gave the ball to Michael Finley on the right wing after half court.

The latter received the ball and faced Artest's defense, and after a series of tentative steps with his left foot, he quickly released the ball with his right hand and crossed steps to break through.

Quickly sliding and giving a physical confrontation, Artest also followed with his left hand to cut the ball, and his right hand was still pulling covertly.

In this way, Michael Finley was forced to slow down when he broke through to the right block position, and finally leaned on the defense to quickly turn around, close to the paint area, and forced a drift jump shot against the block.

"Bang!"

Artest, who was not out of position defensively, let the opponent's shot go off the rails, smashed on the rebound and rubbed the basket and fell directly into Gasol's hands.

After Li You received the ball, he chased the Mavericks through half the court.

Noticing that the opponent has completed the defensive alignment again, the two wings followed to the bottom corner.

With the ball in his left hand, Lee Woo moved sideways, slowed down and came to the left wing, where Prince immediately slipped to the bottom line and took away the defense, while Artest ran from the bottom corner to the right wing.

Still unpacked, Li You suddenly turned forward to lead the ball, stepped into the air and quickly "scissored step", and at the same time pulled the ball in the opposite direction with his right hand.

Nash, who instinctively slid to the right back, only heard two "pops" and the basketball disappeared from front of him.

“OH——! ClayGod! ”

Marv-Albert exclaimed excitedly, and when he saw Nash adjusting his center of gravity and sliding again, he was shaken to the ground by Li You's rapid change of direction in front of his body, and couldn't help but exclaim again:

“OMG!”

Nash propped his right hand on the floor, watching Li You hold the ball in his left hand and go straight to the basket, and he didn't have time to alert his teammates for a while.

Nowitzki also wanted to help defend the block, but Li You was too fast, and he couldn't jump fully under Gasol's pull, and when he came into the air, he only had time to stretch out his right arm, his chest was stuffy, and then he completely lost his center of gravity.

Li You, who jumped on both feet, ignored the block, grabbed the ball with his left hand and pulled back with his arm, crashed through the defense in the air, and briefly hovered and smashed the dunk!

"Boom!"

"Squeak!"

When the whistle blew, Li You slammed it off, and the front-row fans under the basket jumped up, unconsciously screaming loudly to vent their excitement.

After hitting the ground, he fell heavily to the floor, and nowitzki, lying under the basket, could only watch Li You pound his chest at the camera, and shout at the top of his voice with the fans.

After lying down two people in one round, Walter Fraser also chanted God, and then subconsciously sighed:

"Lee showed off his excellent body coordination! If only all the teams were defensive like the Mavericks! ”

"This way we can often enjoy Lee's solo performances!"

Nowitzki, who was pulled up by his teammates, was in a fog of brain, and then showed a wry smile, he knew that in the next half month, this beautiful dunk would be played repeatedly.

Maybe Li You has touched the fish a little too many times this season, and it is rare to see such a scene, the New York fans on the scene are even more excited, and they shouted again after scoring a brace:

“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”

At 101:111, after Li Youjia hit a free throw, the difference also came to double digits.

In the ensuing game, the Mavericks tried to play a hearty offense like they did in the first three quarters, but Nowitzki and Antoine Walker hit back-to-back irons, which instead left the team into a scoring drought.

On the Knicks' side, Lee Yoo singled Nash, interspersed with some simple breakaways.

Although he hit the three-point iron in individual rounds, watching the score rise again and again, D'Antoni on the sidelines still smiled from ear to ear.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity dropped, and Nash and Nowitzki hit some shots, and the referees began to blow the whistle, which finally allowed the Mavericks to regain some face.

With 1:08 left in the game, Antoine Walker's three-pointer from the right wing missed, and Lee Woo collected a long rebound near the free throw line.

Nash quickly retreated, but was easily chased to his side by Li You when his physical strength declined.

The two bodies collided on the three-point line, Li You quickly pushed the ball and changed direction, and after scooping the ball with his left hand, he crushed and squeezed past the opponent's side.

Losing the defensive position, Nash stopped fouling, stopped a little staggeringly, and watched Li You rush up with his left hand to grab the ball and smash it with one hand!

Spike Lee on the sidelines seemed to be more excited than Lee You, jumping up and down with excitement, and after high-five Lee You, he happily shouted to the fans behind him:

"Oh! The Knicks are champions! ”

The New York fans, who were in a state of self-congratulation, automatically ignored the Mavericks and began to cheer to their heart's content.

In the final few rounds, the two sides scored one after another, and the final buzz sounded, and the score was fixed at 111:136.

In the final quarter, at 12:34, the Mavericks were blown up by Li You's individual offense

7 of 9, 2 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, 5 of 5 free throws, and 21 points in a single quarter, Li You was also comfortable, and in an interview with MSG after the game, he said with a smile:

"I love games like this and I like the defensive strategy that the Mavericks have developed!"

On Tuesday, January 13, TNT's program was more about Lee Woo's season high, in addition to warming up for the broadcast matches.

Played 39 minutes, 19-of-28, 7-of-13 from beyond the three-point line, 11-of-11 from the free throw line, 56 points, 7 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 turnover.

Li You's 50+ large two pairs were blown up by the New York media in the morning:

"Clay-Lee, the King of the End!"

The headlines on the sports section of the New York Times were a bit overblown, because so far this season, Lee Woo has had only one game in the fourth quarter.

But the title doesn't matter, I like it when I win the game, and I feel comfortable reading the newspaper.

In the studio, the director recalled the views expressed by Coach D'Antoni who was interviewed last night:

"Too many shots in the fourth quarter?"

"No, we have detailed technical statistics, and Lee singles is the most effective tactic for the Knicks!"

"The game of basketball is all about getting the ball into the basket, and it's close to 80 percent shooting, and I don't think Lee has taken enough shots."

"Yes, as long as the opponent doesn't have a bag and a defense, we will give the ball to Lee in the last quarter, and victory is sometimes so simple!"

The mustache who was interviewed laughed and said this, and the whole person looked extremely arrogant, and the Knicks had a showdown.

The three of them were silent for a while after reviewing this interview, and Ernnie Johnson suddenly smiled and asked when he saw the two partners wanting to talk and stopped:

"Why do you have this expression? Guys, what do you think of this statement from Coach D'Antoni? ”

Kenny Smith kept looking at the technical statistics, and finally pulled out a smile, and replied in a somewhat helpless tone:

"85.3% true hit rate! I don't know how to describe Lee's performance. ”

"Maybe Coach D'Antoni is right, after all, basketball is not complicated, and we have seen superstars solve games many times on their own."

Charles Barkley didn't talk about this issue, and whispered from a different angle:

"Lee was able to get past Steve Nash in one step, but this guy always had to show off his fancy dribbles."

"If I were Nash, I'd just punch him!"

"Of course, Lee's control of the game was really good, and the Knicks had 93 rounds and only 10 turnovers, which was the secret to their victory."

In today's ESPN Sport Center program, among the top ten goals, Li You scored 6 goals alone, and the fans watched it and chanted Niu X.

Kenny Smith waved his hands at his partner when he heard his partner's words, and then laughed and teased:

"I don't agree with you, we have to admit that Lee's passing is wonderful and the fans love to watch performances like this!"

"Don't forget that this year's All-Star voting isn't over yet, and I support Lee to continue to show himself."

After the three chatted for a while about the Knicks' performance for nearly half a month, Ernnie Johnson recalled the game between the Cavaliers and the Lakers.

At 79:89, in the absence of O'Neal and Malone, Kobe Bryant only played 17 minutes, and the Lakers, who were playing at home, only opened up the difference in the fourth quarter of the game.

The old man has an injury in basketball, and the recovery period is naturally very long.

Phil Jackson's dislike of Kobe Bryant was also revealed by ESPN, and although the Lakers have a good record, they lack a championship appearance.

"Kenny, you should know more about the backcourt players, will Payton be able to regain his old form?"

Hearing Ernnie Johnson's question, Kenny Smith was not easy to answer, and finally spoke about the scene:

"Considering Payton's age, it's normal for form to go up and down."

"As long as he has enough time to rest, I'm sure he'll be back in shape soon."

Played 42 minutes, 5-of-22, 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 6 turnovers, Payton almost collapsed the game.

The veteran was in good form in the first two months, and by mid-January, he was gradually pulling his hips.

Charles Barkley didn't like the idea of partners and muddy, and took over the conversation and commented seriously:

"I think it's going to be hard for Payton to get back to his old game!"

"He doesn't fit into the Lakers' system, and even if it's a pick-and-roll offense, he's not good enough."

"Considering the age structure of the Lakers, I think it's going to be hard for them to beat the Knicks."

"Can you imagine the Lakers scoring 136 points in a game? It's a difference in the quality of the stars. ”

Ernnie Johnson also looked at the game's technical statistics, James scored 16 points on 6-of-20 shooting, and the Cavaliers led in the third quarter, but only scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.

"It's been a really tough season for the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant still needs to fly to Denver at some point, which affects his form."

Charles Barkley interrupted his partner and said in earnest again:

"These things are of his own making, and I don't like such excuses."

"In the two games the Lakers and the Mavericks played, Bryant was 9-of-23 in one game and 4-of-18 in one game."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make the All-Star list."

"If the Lakers want to win the championship, they should pray to God for O'Neal to recover as soon as possible."

Kenny Smith saw that the big mouth began to output again, and he was a little helpless for a while, and the Lakers will always be complained about.

On January 14, in the Lakers' away game against the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant was absent again, and Payton found his form.

71:97, under the leadership of Carmelo Anthony, the Lakers beat their opponents by a big margin!

Anthony only scored 6 points in the first half, 4-of-17 from the field, and scored 14 points.

Payton was 9-of-13 from the field and scored 21 points efficiently, rebounding strongly and slapping TNT in the face.

After winning the game, Payton did not forget to taunt in an interview:

"The media only cares about the data, and they only follow the boast about individual performances."

"I know how to win, I don't care how many points I get in a game, I just care about the outcome of the game!"

After winning this game, the Lakers' record came to 24-11, but the Timberwolves also defeated the Spurs that night and continued to lead the Western Conference with 26 wins and 11 losses!

The losing Spurs have a 26-13 record, also beating the Lakers.

Although he lost, Tim Duncan did a great job in Popovich's tactic of giving the ball to his thigh!

Played 45 minutes, 14-of-26, 8-of-15 free throws, 36 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover.

Grabbing 11 frontcourt rebounds, Duncan almost completely overwhelmed his opponent in the matchup with Garnett.

It's just that the Spurs' outside performance is stretching, and Parker is blown up by Kassel.

Cassel scored a team-high 33 points and also dished out nine assists, and championship guard Sprewell was 10-of-19 from the field, also blowing up the Spurs' backcourt, scoring 24 points efficiently!

Tim Duncan, who lost, couldn't help but complain in an interview:

"The team wasn't prepared enough for this game and we deserved to win!"

For several years in a row, the Spurs' backcourt has been an ATM for star players, and Duncan can't hold it anymore, and Popovich can only increase the dose of chicken soup

New York fans didn't care about the other teams, and that night, in the home game against the Magic, the Knicks once again beat their opponents.

At 92:120, after the game, Madison Square Garden was boiling again.

McGrady was 9-of-27, 2-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers.

Houston scored 21 points on 8-of-18 shooting and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, and the two core players performed well, but the team's defense collapsed...

With a 12-26 record, the Magic team briefly rebounded and then fell into a losing streak.

The lively atmosphere of Madison Square Garden gave Houston a look of nostalgia on the sidelines.

This season, with repeated knee injuries, Houston has become unpredictable a lot of times, and the loss is naturally related to him.

McGrady was in the early aisle, and Lee Yoo asked again about the injuries of his old teammates.

"The medical team recommended surgery for me, but I wanted to treat it conservatively and the team still had a chance to make the playoffs."

Hearing Houston's words, Li You frowned, even if he got the 8th place, the Magic team with injuries would be given away in vain:

"I'd suggest you get your surgery sooner rather than later, you don't have to make the playoffs, it's not a good thing to have to meet us in the first round."

Houston shook his head and disagreed:

"Being able to play in the playoffs is also a success, at least to give the fans an explanation."

On the night of the 16th, the Knicks ushered in the last home court of the week.

The SuperSonics have also suffered injuries this season, with Ray Allen returning after a two-month break and finding game form lately.

However, it was Rashad Lewis who pulled the hip that night, who was 3-of-11 in the half and wasted Ray Allen's efficient play.

At 42:60, the Knicks led by 18 points at halftime.

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks made another effort, 19:26 in the first quarter, making the final quarter of the game enter garbage time.

In the end, 86:112, the Knicks defeated their opponents!

Lee Woo-jing played 28 minutes, 10-of-15, 5-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free throw line, and finished with 30 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals with no turnovers.

Ray Allen also had a good performance, scoring 21 points on 6-of-12 shooting, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line.

Both teams have back-to-back games tomorrow, and Lee Woo can only briefly chat with his friends.

The timing of his return from injury is not bad, and Ray Allen has a chance to be selected for the All-Star bench.

In late January, the Knicks ushered in another welfare schedule and continued their winning streak!

After successive victories over the Bulls, Raptors, Celtics, and Hawks, the team's record has reached 42-3.

In the Eastern Conference, such a record could almost lock up a playoff spot.

Back at Madison Square Garden on the 24th, New York fans thought they could witness Lee Yoo beat the new Wade again, but the opponent missed the game due to injury.

Alston, the street ball king who rarely entered the starting line-up, ushered in a nightmare.

In the cannibalistic eyes of head coach Stan Van Gundy, Alston played 34 minutes 1-of-8, 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 1-of-2 from the free throw line, and scored 4 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers.

The street ball king handed over the ball at halftime for most of the game and turned into a dribble guard

Wang Zhizhi failed to get playing time in tonight's game.

Fortunately, the loss did not affect the post-game hi, Li You was treated, and John Wallace led the Heat team to be chic.

The vanity of the good-faced black brother was greatly satisfied, and regardless of Wade's mood, he got on the plane on the second day and continued to shout:

"Don't look at Li as a superstar, but he never puts on a show for his good brothers!"

"If it weren't for honing my game, I would probably have chosen the Knicks."

“.”

The atmosphere group is full of sycophants, "fake fan" Wade has been pulling a face, and New York fans are shouting throughout the game:

“Where is Wade?”

Wade, who had just entered the league, was not thick-skinned enough, and the ridicule of the New York fans made him completely break the defense.

Wang Zhizhi also listened to John Wallace blow it up, in fact, every time he came to New York, he was invited by Li You to his home as a guest, but his English was not very good and he never played X.

As the All-Star break approached, most of the players were working hard to show themselves.

The Lakers lost back-to-back games last week due to injuries and an incomplete roster.

The Spurs, who started their road trip to the East, also lost to the Bucks.

No. 27 challenged the Knicks back-to-back, and the Spurs suffered another heavy defeat.

At the end of the first quarter, at 12:31, Duncan, who walked to the bench, threw the towel in anger without waiting to sit down.

Fun fans were even more excited to see such a scene, and there was a lot of cheering and shouting from behind the Spurs bench.

Ginobili was 0-of-3 for 2 points, and Parker was 0-of-4 for scoring with zero points;

Bowen and Nesterovic combined for four points, and Duncan was 3-of-7 from the field and contributed six points.

Sitting in front of the players, Popovich was almost speechless, and he knew better than anyone what the 19-point difference meant.

Noticing Duncan's disappointed eyes, Popovich was anxious and subconsciously said:

"We still have a chance."

In the middle of speaking, Popovich suddenly fell silent, but fortunately, the assistant coach held the tactical board and began to tell the players, relieving the awkward atmosphere.

Starting Bon Bang Iron, Popovich made a lineup rotation early on.

But what made him feel helpless was that Devin Brown, Marrick Rose, and Robert Horry, who came off the bench, made frequent mistakes.

The outside shooting was poor, and Duncan also had a mistake when he was caught in the bag.

With eight turnovers in a single quarter, Popovich didn't want to see such a game

The Spurs, who had a burst of mentality, continued their performance in the second quarter, and the players who came on the court continued to make mistakes.

At the end of the half, at 32:59, relying on the Spurs' 15 turnovers, the Knicks, who had a mediocre outside projection, ended the suspense of the game.

After the start of the second half, the New York fans at the scene no longer cared about the situation on the court, and the appearance of everyone on the Spurs bench with big faces made the fans even happier.

In the end, 80-112, the Spurs were happy to lose three in a row.

Gasol played 31 minutes tonight, 9-of-15 from the field, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 turnover.

After the game, the Spurs were all in the early pit of the players, and Gasol was particularly happy when interviewed by TNT reporters.

When asked about his All-Star starting position, Gasol was very modest:

"I don't know how many tickets I'm going to get, I just want to enjoy the process."

"You know, I can't play like Lee, I'm a big guy and I probably can't give a shock dunk to the fans!"

"If I can get a starting position, I just want to thank the fans and my team-mates for supporting me!"

On January 29, the NBA announced the results of the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Game:

Li You was re-elected as the All-Star vote king with 2.66 million votes;

Carter, despite his injury, received 2.02 million votes, placing him in second place;

The five Eastern Conference All-Star starters are:

Lee Yow with 2.66 million votes, Jason Kidd with 1.14 million votes, Vince Carter with 2.02 million votes, Grant Hill with 1.74 million votes, and Pau Gasol with 1.65 million votes;

The five Western Conference All-Star starters are:

Steve Francis with 970,000 votes, Kobe Bryant with 950,000 votes, Kevin Garnett with 1.68 million votes, Tim Duncan with 1.38 million votes, Yao Ming with 1.48 million votes.

The 76ers have a poor record, Iverson has an injury, and currently has a 19-24 record.

Iverson, who received 980,000 votes, missed the starting lineup, seemed to feel embarrassed, and refused an interview with the Philadelphia sports media.

McGrady got 1.02 million votes and missed out on an All-Star start, which makes sense given the Magic's hip-pulling record.

No. 30 Knicks challenged the Celtics away, and before the game began, Li You, who was interviewed, did not talk too much about the ticket king, but continued to cheer for his teammates:

"Ron deserves an All-Star spot, and I can't think of anyone in the league who can match him defensively!"

Li You laughed and blew hard, in comparison, the host O'Neal only got 1.45 million votes, losing the starting position, so that the Sharks began to complain again before the start of the game with the Timberwolves:

"I don't know why the fans didn't vote for me, I'm still the best big man in the league!"
