On the evening of June 9, 2004, at Staples Arena, the Lakers fans at the scene watched the home team struggle in pain, and the uniform cheering began to fade away.

Coach Phil Jackson's successive requests for timeouts did not change the situation on the court, and the home whistle only made the game even more "ugly".

Whenever the Lakers are in trouble, the ball is always given to the most consistent scorer.

O'Neal also scored in the first half of the game, but as the Knicks began to foul, the scene of fans seeing the defense was repeated.

The fat shark can't get in.

Failure to score will bring a lot of chain reactions, and the most seen scene by Lakers fans at the scene is Li You's continuous backcourt running.

The Lakers could only foul in response, but as the team entered the free throw state too early, some rounds could only watch Lee You send the ball to the basket all over the court.

The Lakers tried to acquire veteran Brian Russell and also pinned their hopes on Karim Rush, but both men played iron in their limited playing time.

The "ugly" game made the Lakers players lose their spirits, and after hitting an open field goal in the early stage, Kobe Bryant frequently led the Knicks to counterattack.

With 1:22 left in the third quarter, Staples Arena boiled as Payton hit an empty three-pointer on the left wing and the basketball flew over the top edge of the rebound and out of the line:

"Shh

Fisher came on, and Payton, who walked to the bench, was in a bad mood and was not a fixed shooter after all, but he was very disappointed with his performance after missing two three-pointers after being released.

Phil Jackson looked serious, patted the veteran on the shoulder and turned his head to look at the situation on the court.

“Defense！.”

As Lee Woo, who was holding the ball in his right hand, approached the halfway line, the defensive cheers rang out again.

Like the Lakers, the Knicks began to make personnel changes in the second half of the third quarter to keep the main lineup out of foul trouble, after all, they still have to play the fourth quarter tonight.

Fisher, who had just made his debut, was a little nervous, and the coaching staff did not give him any instructions, noticing the movement behind him, and simply shouted to Medvidenko to wrap him up.

At the top of the arc, Stoudemire stepped on the three-point line and stood still, and Medvidenko, who was behind him, saw Li You's crotch dribbling, his body swayed to the left front, and hurriedly slid to the right.

Fisher was just about to squeeze past the cover, but Li You suddenly lowered his center of gravity and dribbled sharply behind his back.

Just stuck in the position of not up or down, Fisher could only call for a change of defense, but Medvedenko slid again, trying to step forward to delay, only to find that Li You had completed the retreat at the moment when he caught the ball with his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, Medvedenko didn't even have time to jump up and block, and Li You, who drifted slightly to the right rear, had already jumped on the right flank!

Lakers fans behind the basket saw that the basketball trajectory was very positive, some subconsciously spread their hands, and some opened their mouths wide and showed frustrated expressions.

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

"Oh!"

Only the New York fans in the back row, wearing away jerseys, were celebrating wildly, and everyone jumped and jumped in a huddle, not caring for the feelings of the Lakers fans around them.

Li You looked at Phil Jackson on the sidelines and smiled, and when the opponent couldn't make a free throw, the accurate shot was enough to play 8 out of 5.

At 85:62, the point difference came to 20+, leaving less and less time for the Lakers.

Although the Lakers entered the rotation stage, they did not play the usual triangle offense in a few rounds.

The anxious Kobe Bryant didn't wait for Fisher to dribble across the halfway line before taking over the ball, coming to the right flank, facing Prince's defense, and accelerating with the ball in his right hand.

On the three-point line, Kobe Bryant quickly dribbled behind his back, and then immediately closed the ball, ignoring O'Neal, who had just completed the cross cover on the inside, and after the dumble, Kobe Bryant twisted his body and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

Prince, who stretched out his right arm, didn't make much movement, and finally Kobe Bryant's strong shot hit another iron.

The basketball smashed on the back edge of the basket flew to the paint area, and the long rebound ball was picked up by Li You, who quickly led the ball forward, and Li You accelerated along the right sideline to rush across the half court.

O'Neal, who was forced to turn back and run, didn't have time to angrily vent his teammates, and shouted in the rear to command everyone to chase after him.

The Lakers fans at the scene followed with an exclamation, and Li You rushed faster and faster, came to the right wing and went straight to the basket with Fisher.

Kobe, who also quickly retreated, only had the ball carrier in his eyes at this time, chased the defense to the paint area and jumped up to block it, but saw Li You's right hand suddenly throwing the ball to the upper left of the basket.

Kobe Bryant, who realized that something was wrong, just turned his head, and Prince, who was quietly following behind him, immediately jumped, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, and quickly pressed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!

Grabbing the basket and swinging it, Prince and Lee You high-fived and celebrated after landing on the ground, and there were smiles on their faces, such a goal was too easy.

"Kobe Bryant shouldn't just look at the basket, speeding up the offensive tempo is not the same as playing randomly, he should continue to believe in his teammates!"

On the commentary bench, Rivers made a brief comment, but Michaels took a look at the technical statistics and noticed that the Lakers' role players all scored zero, and at this time he could only say euphemistically:

"Maybe Kobe Bryant should choose to attack the basket, the Lakers still have time."

When Fisher dribbled across the half again, O'Neill was fiercely stuck in the low post on the left, and substitute Mutombo was whistled for a foul by the referee.

Although it was time to make free throws, the atmosphere was not good, and O'Neal was currently 2 of 6 and had not yet made both free throws.

Although there was no interference from the Knicks players, there were another boos in the arena as the second free throw came out again.

Mutombo, who received the rebound, was not in a hurry, he directly held the ball in his arms, waiting for Li You to come forward to answer, leading by a large score, and the Knicks did not run in the last few tens of seconds.

The mentality of the players on both sides is different, and everyone in the Lakers can't hold it anymore, Kobe Bryant wraps up Li You near the logo in advance.

Raja Bale received the ball easily on the right flank, Medvidenko had just stepped forward to help, and O'Neal was quick when Stoudemire, who had moved to the right blocker, received the ball.

Bryant on the outside had just returned to defense, and the basketball flew into Mutombo's hands near the free throw line.

As Li You's body shook to the right, he accelerated and ran back, approached the left flank, and received the pass again.

In the bottom left corner, Prince slipped quickly across the baseline and took away Devin George's defense, and Mutombo came to the three-point line to cover.

Seeing that Fisher failed to squeeze through, O'Neal, who moved up under the basket, was also anxious, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, accelerated to break through, and the fat shark actually pounced, slid quickly, and defended with all his might.

As Mutombo went down, Fisher hurriedly followed to the paint area to cut off the passing route, and O'Neill chased after Li You

The scene of the big fat man of more than 300 pounds struggling to defend ignited the atmosphere again, the Lakers fans shouted hard, but Li You did not accelerate with all his strength, but leaned on O'Neal's stomach and came to the basket to quickly slip past the bottom line.

O'Neal, who had been opening his hand, was still not out of position at this time, and when he was guarding the basket, he shouted to his teammates to help defend.

On the right side near the baseline, without waiting for Devin George to move to the bag, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly made a sharp stop, blew the ball on the spot and quickly twisted around.

In a very small area, the moment his right hand touched the ball, he immediately led the ball forward, and the sudden emergency stop allowed O'Neill to pest in place, and Li You quickly squeezed through.

Regained control of the ball under the basket, and Li You, who deceived the defense, came to the bottom left of the basket in the blink of an eye, and turned over to pick up the basket with his right hand!

On the Knicks bench, everyone suddenly burst into laughter, obviously, Li You deliberately slipped O'Neal, and broke the opponent's illusion at the moment when the opponent thought the defense was successful.

"Hell! Fack!."

O'Neal was so angry that he smashed the ball directly on the basketball hoop, and the referee stepped forward to warn, and then ran to the half court in a huff.

The Lakers made the last attack of the third quarter of the game, and everyone pulled Kobe Bryant.

Consuming time, Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball in his right hand, showed a fierce expression again, and when there were six seconds left, he quickly changed direction after dribbling under his crotch.

Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated to break through, and just dribbled past the three-point line, and under the right wing, Laga Bell didn't talk about "Wude" to pounce.

Bryant didn't choose to pass the ball, and under the two-man combination, he suddenly leaned on the defense and turned quickly, and the free throw line was bobbed, deceiving Prince's defense, and then he was heavily cut by Raga Bale.

"Squeak!"

When the referee blew the whistle, Devin George on the right flank was a little dissatisfied, and he raised his hand for a long time, but the ball just couldn't get through

The expressionless Kobe Bryant didn't look at his teammates, stood on the free throw line again, and hit two free throws steadily.

With Li You's ultra-long three-point hit, the score came to 89:64 after the third quarter, and the Lakers fans at the scene realized that they were about to be swept.

played the third quarter, Kobe Bryant was 2 of 6 in the single quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points; O'Neal scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting and 2-of-8 from the free-throw line.

The OK combination swept all the points of the game, and after returning to the bench, the Lakers did not communicate at all, except for Phil Jackson sitting in front of everyone and giving chicken soup.

Once again, Li You's individual score exceeded the opponent's team's score, and on the commentary bench, Michaels could only comment euphemistically:

"The Lakers still have a chance, but they have to hold on for a couple of rounds, and it's a big test of their fitness."

7-of-10, 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, Lee Woo scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter.

Rivers looked at the technical statistics in a daze, and subconsciously said when he heard his partner's words:

"There's no chance, Lee is in great form tonight and he'll get 50 points soon."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Rivers reacted quickly and immediately added:

"But the Lakers can continue to try to wrap Lee and let other players beat them, maybe it will work a miracle!"

“.”

The two chatted awkwardly on the commentary bench, and when the game started in the fourth quarter, they noticed that Li You on the Knicks' side did not rest, and they looked at each other, and they both felt that the game was going to end soon.

The energetic Lee Woo led the bench lineup and did not give the Lakers any chance to travel off-peak.

Killing the game in advance, Li You can rest for a few minutes, plus G4 is held in two days, physical fitness is not a problem at all.

Lakers fans also did not give up the game, but O'Neal, who returned to the court early, no longer desperately wanted the ball and lost his fighting spirit first.

On the bench, Karl Malone, who was sitting in the seat, looked blank, and the championship dream was shattered again.

There was only the noise of fans left in the Staples Arena, and most Lakers fans simply couldn't accept such a result, which was obviously a good opportunity, why couldn't it be shot?

"Shh

Payton, who was released, hit a three-pointer on the left wing, and when he turned around, a simple breakaway from the Knicks' side attracted the defense and immediately moved the ball.

Raja Bale received a pass in the bottom left corner and hit an open three-pointer, and the boos rang out again in the arena.

O'Neill just received the ball with his back in the right blocking area, and at the moment of the frame, Li You, who came up to help the defense, cut the ball off, controlled the ball and quickly slipped across the bottom line.

Peyton's reminder didn't help, and the absent-minded O'Neal had dropped sharply.

The Lakers had no choice but to foul, and Devin George pulled and raised his hand to signal, and he was a little overwhelmed.

The Knicks suddenly played a low-post offense, and in the right block position, Stoudemire, who received the ball with his back, turned around and shook his face.

After putting the ball with his right hand, he crossed and broke through, carrying Medvedenko, jumping to the bottom right of the basket, Stoudemire deceived the opponent after shaking, and took advantage of the time difference to grab the ball with his right hand and smash the dunk!

"Boom!" Breakthrough dunk success.

Such a simple goal showed that the Lakers had run out of defense, and after the dunk, Stoudemire screamed excitedly, ignoring the emotions of everyone on the Lakers team around him.

Kobe, who completely cut off the passing button, began to make strong shots outside the three-point line in order to chase points.

Kobe Bryant assisted Li You to receive a long rebound in a row, and after playing two consecutive conversion offenses, Li You took the ball again and rushed forward, came to the paint area to swing right and left, and quickly dodged Payton for a layup!

Payton, who turned into a stake, didn't even pull his hand for a foul, and after Phil Jackson called a timeout, the veteran returned to the bench and covered his face with his hands.

A few assists brought Lee You's score to 50, and in the Staples Arena, a large number of fans had turned against each other and began to cheer loudly to celebrate the Knicks getting the match point.

O'Neal and Payton didn't play again, and soon, head coach D'Antoni also called a timeout, and Lee Woo was also rested.

After just over 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers surrendered again, and only Kobe Bryant remained on the court and continued to lead the Knicks on the counterattack.

"It was a game that was really unexpected by everyone, and the Knicks showed us that modern basketball is no longer limited to the low post offense, more coverage, faster counterattacks!"

"I think it's worth thinking about together, do big men still represent the future, and how can we build a championship team in the future?"

As Kobe Bryant continued to play iron, Rivers didn't talk about the game every round, but talked about things off the court.

Although Michaels used to be a commentator on the NFL, he also knew the particularity of Li You, and subconsciously sighed after hearing these words:

"A talented player can change an era, and Lee has done that!"

"At 26 years old, the future belongs to Lee, and although he will sign one of the league's highest salaries in the offseason, I believe the Knicks will not skimp on the luxury tax!"

James Dolan really doesn't care about spending money, just the income brought by the championship in the past few years, and paying the luxury tax for a few more years is also worth making money.

The curly-haired boss sitting under the basket was grinning with general manager Glenfield in his arms, and every goal was followed by a fist in celebration.

The on-site director will give the camera to the two from time to time, and when he pauses, he will focus the camera on Magic Johnson and Lakers owner Buss Sr.

The expressions of the two sides were completely different, the former was smiling, and his mouth was almost grinning on the back of his head, and the latter pulled a big face, and the two whispered a few words from time to time, without a trace of smile on their faces.

The Lakers have been paying the luxury tax all these years, and fortunately, getting a championship can be regarded as an explanation, but with O'Neal asking for a big contract, the old Buss will also face a choice:

"Do you want to keep the older fat sharks?"

With 3 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant was also replaced.

Played 42 minutes, 9-of-25, 1-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 11-of-13 from the free throw line, 30 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.

returned to the bottom rebound at home and got the highest score of the team, Kobe Bryant, who was sitting in the seat, was still unconvinced, which was far from the home court he imagined.

O'Neal was 8-of-14, 3-of-12 from the free-throw line, and had 19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

One watched the game with his head held high and his face expressionless, and the other wore a towel and lowered his head in extreme frustration, and the OK combination with a combined score of 49 points seemed to be about to disintegrate.

At the last timeout, Phil Jackson tossed the tactics board to the assistant coach again, and the championship coach stopped pretending, and he was disappointed with tonight's game.

As long as he thought of D'Antoni smiling, the old man of KFC felt irritated in his heart, he has been humiliated continuously in the past few years, and he has lost all his qualifications

In the end, in a sea of boos, the game time ran out, and at 116:88, the Knicks defeated their opponents, and the series score came to 3:0.

Li You, who had already changed into his training clothes, stood up and chirped, and the New York fans sitting in the back continued to celebrate wildly.

Several players on the court high-fived and celebrated with Li You, and when they walked to the players' tunnel, everyone on the Knicks laughed and laughed, and in two days, they were going to win the O'Brien Cup!

Played 37 minutes, 18-of-26, 6-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-8 from the free throw line, 50 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, and no turnovers.

Li You, who scored 50 points, made the Lakers fans on the scene completely break the defense, and on both sides of the player tunnel, many people were shouting and scolding.

The Lakers also did not enjoy the preferential treatment of the fans, and O'Neal, who was draped in a towel, was also booed by the fans.

Bryant, who scored the team's highest score, was finally interviewed by sideline reporter Stuart on the sidelines.

Perhaps considering that the Lakers were about to be swept, the black reporter asked very interestingly:

"Kobe, it's a shame you didn't protect your home court tonight, I think the fans are more concerned about the Lakers lineup next season."

"Are you going to keep your current squad again and push for the championship again?"

Perhaps it was the boos of the fans after the game that stimulated Kobe Bryant, who immediately replied with some anger when he heard this question:

"I don't know, I've done my best, I've dedicated all my time to basketball."

"And there are people who are completely satisfied after winning a championship, I want my teammates to be full of desire, I don't think about the future, the series is not over yet!"

“.”

When Li You, dressed in a light gray suit, appeared in the media room, many sports reporters in the audience applauded loudly.

In the division finals, he relied on his personal ability to beat the Pistons in the third quarter, and in the finals, Li You concocted the same method and defeated the Lakers in the first quarter by relying on his personal ability.

Putting aside the Lakers' somewhat crotch-stretching defense, most sports reporters like it.

ESPN's reporter likes to see outrageous data, and was the first to raise his hand and ask:

"Li, congratulations on breaking the 50-point record in the finals, what are your expectations for the next game?"

After scoring 50 points in the Finals four times in his career, Lee Woo improved his record and became the player with the most 50+ points in NBA Finals history.

This record is outrageous, in the long history, counting Li You, there are only 6 players who scored 50 points in the finals.

Li You is already a little numb to this kind of record, but he is about to win his sixth championship, and his mood is naturally very beautiful:

"I don't mind lifting the trophy at Staples, the atmosphere in the stadium tonight was good, thank you to the fans who came to support me."

"I promise you that we will lift the trophy on Saturday!"

New York's sports reporters are in full bloom, and they can blow X to their heart's content in the offseason, and everyone is like a tide of sycophants, and a lot of business blows each other, which makes the Lakers staff feel uncomfortable.

When O'Neill came to the scene, the Los Angeles sports reporter still expected the shark to speak boldly and never admit defeat, but he didn't expect this to surrender:

"I didn't know what to do to win, I was trying to defend and I was able to grab four rebounds in every game."

"I couldn't do more on both ends of the floor."

The Los Angeles Times reporter didn't want to hear the complaints, and asked with some anger:

"Why do you lose every game? Fourth quarter games are always going to turn into garbage time, and I don't think Lakers fans will accept such a defeat! ”

Although he sensed the anger of the reporters in the audience, O'Neill was still in no mood to make bold statements:

"I don't know, I think we had a lot of good chances on the outside, but unfortunately none of those chances were converted into points."

"I'm still the best big man on the pitch, but I probably can't beat them alone."

Soon all kinds of vitriol questions were thrown at O'Neill, who broke the jar and broke it, without showing a trace of fighting spirit, basically making a statement to everyone:

"I can't win, I tried my best!"

"The best team in history – the New York Knicks!"

"22 points in a single quarter, the god of basketball descended on Los Angeles!"

"All-time best, Clay-Lee changed the game of basketball!"

“GOAT！”

On June 10, the New York Times and several mainstream print media outlets began to pout Mr. Lee, with op-ed headlines becoming more exaggerated than one another.

In the 1993 Finals G4, in the fourth quarter of the game, Michael Jordan scored 22 points in a single quarter to help the Bulls win the game;

In the 2004 Finals G3, in the third quarter of the game, Li You also scored 22 points in a single quarter to help the Knicks get the match point.

History is a circle, and some of the same stories will always be repeated, but the fans never get tired of watching it, and the ultimate personal ability will always attract a lot of winning honey.

A lot of Eastern Conference teams are sour, and even the local sports media are following IF

The Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post angrily attacked the Lakers, and the two sides agreed:

"Three Ugly Matches"

New York's sports media are fond of quoting photos of Lee after his dunk to capture some frustrated Lakers fans and make newspaper buyers feel good about it.

The Los Angeles Times posted a photo of the Lakers walking down the tunnel with their heads down.

There was no tactical analysis, only emotional output, no discussion about why the Lakers lost, and some just angrily sprayed O'Neal for not having fighting spirit and Kobe Bryant was a brainless brush.

At the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, Li You, who was eating breakfast, was in a good mood when he looked at the Los Angeles Times.

In recent years, there have been more and more articles on emotional output in newspapers, and the NBA has also had a trend of "fan circle".

Compared with the past columnists, who would list some dry content and analyze tactical play, in recent years, due to the impact of the Internet, the print media has also become "fast food" and has begun to cater to the emotions of fans.

didn't find any dry content, Li You flipped through the newspaper and threw it aside.

Scarlett, who was reading the newspaper at the dining room, was chuckling incessantly, wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, and a blue Knicks jacket.

The red-haired girl's neutral dress looks a little casual, but it still attracts the attention of many people.

On the other side, Hill's singer wife Tamiya also looked at the newspaper and giggled, when the Los Angeles media ridiculed Hill's three-point shot, feng shui took turns, and now it is the turn of the New York media to strike hard.

In the key game, the Lakers made 4 of 20 from beyond the three-point line and almost smashed their own basket.

"The newspaper articles are getting boring and they're all stirring up fan emotions."

"The Olympics are still a few months away, and now that we are talking about it, do these media have no news to cover?"

Hill also threw the newspaper aside a long time ago, he didn't like to blow X in advance, and Tamiya on the side glanced at her husband and said a little inflated:

"What's this, the championship is ours anyway, I think the newspaper is good!"

Men and women have always had different concerns, and Hill didn't refute it, just whispered while eating bread:

"Champions sometimes need luck, and we're very strong, but we've had good luck in the last two years."

Lee Woo knew that Hill was talking about Malone's injury, and if the veteran stayed healthy and returned to his home stadium with a whistle, it would indeed be a tough battle.

“Clay！ What is a big contract? A lot of people are talking about it. ”

Scarlett has been spending time with her mother in Los Angeles lately, and during the Finals, many sports media outlets began to discuss the impact of Lee's upcoming contract on the Knicks.

"At most, it is the starting salary of 35% of the salary cap, and after deducting taxes, there is not much to get in hand!"

Hearing the answer, the girl, who was not very good at math, didn't think out how much it was, and couldn't help but quietly pinch Li You.

A player's salary is 35% of the team's salary, which is a huge burden for most teams.

However, the Knicks are different, even if the salary cap is full, the veterans in the team can be re-signed and the mid-class exception can be used to strengthen the lineup.

Gasol's Spanish girlfriend, Silvia, also followed during the finals.

After quietly calculating the amount, Sylvia's eyes showed a large piece of beautiful knife.

Gasol knew what his girlfriend was worried about, turned his head and whispered:

"Don't worry, it won't affect my contract, the team promised me a long time ago!"

Artest is still taking care of his "seven aunts and eight aunts", and during the finals, in order to pretend to be X, he chartered air tickets and hotels, and invited a ticket of relatives and friends to watch the game.

At the dining table on the other side, the group of relatives and friends is frantically blowing X:

"Ron is already a big star! The Lakers' Kobe Bryant simply couldn't break through his defense. ”

"That's DPOY! Kobe Bryant is overrated, and if he were in the Eastern Conference, he would be treated the same as Iverson. ”

"Ron is the real man, that guy says he doesn't care about data every day, but he ends up playing garbage time!"

was blown fluttering by everyone, Artest didn't feel any more painful, he only felt that the money was spent happily, but when he heard that everyone still wanted to consume a wave, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched:

"My salary seems to be a little lower"

The Knicks had a step-by-step video lesson in the morning and moved their bodies in the afternoon.

NBA league staff began to prepare for the award ceremony the day after tomorrow.

The next is the home court of the Lakers, and even if G4 loses, everyone believes that the G5 Knicks will definitely be able to lock up the win.

It would have been easier to prepare for the award ceremony earlier, but such a move angered Lakers fans again.

After shopping with the girl at night, Scarlett, who returned to the hotel, quietly complained about the recent itinerary:

"I didn't like boring political rallies at all, and my mother always wanted me to support Kerry in front of the media."

In the dimly lit room, the girl who took off her coat nested in Li You's arms and talked about the gossip about her participation in the rally, and many Hollywood stars were present to support.

Sharing her recent boring life, Scarlett was in a good mood, noticed that Li You was still staring at the news of ABC channel on the TV, rolled her eyes, and whispered in her ear.

"What's this bother?"

Diverting attention, Lee Woo stopped paying attention to the news of the election and reached out to hold the softness.

The girl's face was slightly red and she whispered, and the two laughed.

Soon, the long body went straight in, Li You did not relax, he will continue to practice tonight, and strive to show his best state in the G4 competition!

On June 12, after two days of fermentation, ball critics finally put the cauldron of the Lakers' loss on Kobe's head.

In the morning, TNT's program was still warming up for tonight's game, and in the studio, chatting, Charles Barkley angrily scolded Kobe:

"I can't understand Kobe's offensive options, he seems to want to prove something in the game."

"But it's the Finals, and Kobe seems to have forgotten that!"

"The Knicks can give the ball to Lee, why do the Lakers always let Kobe Bryant complete the offense?"

Kenny Smith glanced at his partner, then shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"Maybe O'Neal can't easily catch the ball in the attacking area that he's good at, and I even think he's not motivated."

"The Lakers lost the game, obviously not alone, and Coach Phil Jackson is also responsible, maybe he should use Fisher more."

There are so many people who can take the blame that Ernnie Johnson doesn't want to discuss this topic right now:

"Do you think the Knicks can end the series tonight?"

"If we continue to win by a big margin, the Knicks may set a new record."

Charles Barkley is no longer output, thinking of the state of the Lakers, he immediately gave a positive answer:

"There's no suspense, maybe the Lakers will get some free throws, but that won't change the course of the game."

"It's unbelievable that as an outside player, Lee will shoot more than 60% in the finals."

"The Lakers' defense is like shit!"

“.”

ESPN made the same prediction, but in the show, they still cooperated with ABC to blow Li You's data.

The beautiful Excel has become the biggest attraction of this year's finals, and as a broadcaster, ABC has been educating fans about how outrageous Lee You's stats are in the past two days.

The purpose of this is to attract cloud fans to pay attention to the game that has no suspense.

During the afternoon warm-up, the Knicks did not have any nervousness, and won three consecutive games by a big score, giving everyone infinite confidence.

In order to deal with the Lakers' bag defense, Li You has practiced in a targeted manner in the past two days.

In an interview, Li You confidently expressed his position again and promised the fans again:

"No matter how the opponent adjusts, we will lift the O'Brien Cup tonight!"

"It's a shame that the Lakers have had an injury, and I'm really looking forward to meeting them again next season on the Finals stage."

The Los Angeles Times reporter twitched the corners of his eyes, and he mocked him, and everyone loved to abuse vegetables.

ESPN's reporter also felt that there was no suspense in tonight's game, and simply asked some questions in advance:

"Lee, we all know that you have faced the Lakers in the Finals for several years in a row, what would you think of the current team?"

is about to win the championship, and Li You doesn't want to mock the old man anymore, so he naturally wants to say some beautiful things at this time:

"In the NBA, there's a lot more to respect than just winning and losing."

"Karl Malone is going to be 41 years old, he's giving everything to basketball, and so is Payton, and I can tell he's hungry for championships."

"The two veterans inspire me and that's why I was able to play well in the finals."

"I remember when I first entered the league, every time the Knicks met the SuperSonics they would lose."

"Payton has taught me how important defense is, I've always wanted to be a good defender like him, and in the future, I want to win a DPOY trophy."

"I love this Lakers team, so I'm going to give it my all tonight and show respect to them with high scores!"

“.”

Hearing Li You talk about sportsmanship, a strange emotion surged in the hearts of the surrounding sports media.

The NBA doesn't pay attention to any "commendable spirit", and if you want to reap honors, you need data and wins.

Everyone felt that Li You was riding his face and mocking, but they couldn't say anything wrong.

Eventually, the New York sports media couldn't hold back, chuckled, and immediately turned several reporters from the Los Angeles Times into a fit of rage.

Seeing that Li You wanted to continue to talk about "sportsmanship", everyone hurriedly interrupted, they were all laymen, and they still preferred to use Excel and honor to blow X.

That evening, the number of New York fans in Staples Arena increased a bit.

Fans who came to watch the game on Saturday jumped and jumped with Lee Woo's oversized star card.

Before the game even started, the New York fans in the rear cheered themselves up and celebrated the victory in advance.

The stars sitting in the front row were not affected too much, and they were all broadcast live in the United States anyway.

After the players on both sides finished playing, Kobe, who had been continuously output in the past two days, was still full of fighting spirit.

On the contrary, O'Neill and several veterans were obviously absent-minded, and they were a little perfunctory during the warm-up.

Coach Phil Jackson didn't pull his players around like he did in previous games.

Before the start of the game, An An sat firmly on the bench, and when the live director gave the camera, the old man of KFC was expressionless and did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

After the game started at 19 o'clock, the Knicks changed their previous tactics and began to play the offense familiar to the Lakers

Gasol began to finish more, and the Knicks showed their energy again, rushing for rebounds in the frontcourt.

After the opening game, the two sides continued to play iron, and as O'Neal hit the basket and scored a defensive split, Gasol responded with a jumper in the paint area, and the game gradually got on track.

In the offensive round, Li You quickly dribbled across the half court, and Hill in the bottom right corner immediately accelerated to the right flank to receive the ball.

When Lee ran to the bottom right corner, Hill gave the ball to Gasol, who was asking for the ball with his back.

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but stand up and turn his head to look at D'Antoni who was pacing on the sidelines.

In the first few rounds of the opening game, the Knicks used a triangular offensive starting gesture, and the old KFC man thought that the opponent was humiliating himself!

Gasol, who received the ball in the low post on the right side, faced O'Neal's top defense and put the ball with his left hand to play continuously.

Although he didn't push his opponent, he suddenly turned quickly to the baseline after twisting forward, Gasol deceived O'Neal's center of gravity, and immediately completed the throw the moment he switched to his right hand!

"Bang!" The two-point shot hits the board and goes into the frame.

Although such rounds have not appeared many times in the series, Gasol is not the skinny rookie of the year, and the shooting percentage of this series has always been 50%.

On the Knicks bench, Ewing got up and clapped his hands repeatedly, loudly encouraging Gasol's offense just now, and without the pressure of winning or losing, the players played more confidently.

Bryant, who was criticized by ball critics, did not choose to pass, but firmly believed in his shooting touch.

Maintaining the same offensive mode as in the first three games, Kobe Bryant held the ball, and the Lakers everyone waited to grab the board.

Several people on the court were not expecting Kobe Bryant's pass, and O'Neal didn't bother to complain after hitting the iron.

The defensive intensity visible to the naked eye has decreased, and the Knicks, under the command of Lee You, continue to run some dazzling tactics.

The game got better and looked like the two sides kept scoring, there was no iron, there were no frequent fouls, and in the Staples Arena, the Lakers fans didn't buy it, and they kept boosing.

The first quarter of the game passed quickly, at 30:26, the offensive battle made the New York fans on the scene enjoy watching.

In the rotation stage, the Knicks made another large-scale substitution, and Kobe Bryant did not rest and continued to lead the team.

The familiar scene soon reappeared, and Kobe Bryant suddenly turned on the scoring mode, leading the Knicks to a wave of 6:0

"Shh

Watching Li You pick up a long rebound, Li You ran from the backcourt, knocked away Fisher, and put the basket under the basket, and the boos in the arena became louder and louder.

Coach Phil Jackson called another timeout and watched Bryant walk off the court without saying a word.

After the timeout was over, Phil Jackson, who returned to his seat, crossed his arms and looked more and more calm, and a thought kept coming to his mind:

"Maybe taking over the Lakers was the wrong choice!"
