On January 2, 2005, the NBA announced its December Player of the Month:

Dwyane Wade of the Eastern Conference and Dirk Nowitzki of the Western Conference took the award.

The Heat had a 14-1 record during this period, with Wade averaging 23.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 4.1 turnovers in 38.9 minutes per game.

He averaged 16.8 shots per game and shot 48.4 percent from the field and 8.9 free throws per game and shot 75.2 percent from the free-throw line.

The Mavericks had a 9-4 record in December, where Nowitzki averaged 27.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.3 turnovers in 39.4 minutes per game.

He is averaging 19.6 shots per game and shooting 42.7 percent from the field, 4.2 attempts from beyond the three-point line and 35.2 percent from three-point range, and 10.5 free throws per game and 85.3 percent from the free throw line.

The Spurs and Suns, who had a relatively good record, failed to win the award due to personal data problems.

The Heat are now on a 14-game winning streak, four wins short of the 18-game winning streak the Knicks have created this season.

In next week's game, the two teams will play each other, and whether the Heat can continue their winning streak has also become a hot topic of discussion in the New Year.

After Christmas, the tsunami struck Indonesia, and the NBA league also carried out care activities, and everyone donated money to help the victims.

As a public figure, Li You's birthday at the end of the year was also much more low-key, and the donation was nothing, he just didn't like someone to use this matter to gain popularity after a high-profile birthday.

It's been snowing heavily lately, the weather has been a bit bad, and some teams have had a hard time playing on the road, but the Knicks have recently played at home and can wait for the weather to improve.

On a rare Sunday, at his home on 82nd Street in Manhattan, Li You also followed a few people to watch ABC's "Desperate Housewives".

watched American Idol on Tuesday, started chasing dramas again on Sunday, and in a few days, the third season of Tang Qude's "The Apprentice" will also be broadcast, and the people who eat melons will not have fun watching it.

For this drama, most of the memories that exist in Li You's mind are still Eva Longoria's, and Latina girls exploded in popularity because of this drama.

Milinda and Kim are both nestled on the couch watching TV intently, and Christen-Rit has to go home because her mother has the flu.

Scarlett was alone in Li You's arms, and after her fair skin was held, she paid more attention to her body, obviously a 20-year-old girl was not very interested in this kind of daily drama.

"Clay, why turn down a reality TV shoot? I think NBC's idea is pretty good. ”

Scarlett, who raised her head, had a hoarse voice, and asked curiously about the latest news, but before Li You could speak, Milinda on the side smiled and quipped:

"I must be afraid of exposing such a love life, but if I accept the reality show, maybe Li can receive more advertisements!"

After saying this, Milinda giggled, and by the way, she also touched Li You's strong muscles with her hand, obviously hinting at the direction of some advertising.

Li You grabbed Scarlett's little hand, and when he heard the two of them giggling and began to make fun of his figure, he complained helplessly:

"I'm not interested in living under camera, it's a terrible idea!"

Kim on the side also laughed, obviously remembering the recent news.

NBA star Doug Christie and his wife planned to shoot a reality show to document their loving life, and the melon-eating crowd responded enthusiastically.

As we all know, Christie's wife has always liked to control her lover, and there are a lot of small games between the two, and Christie, who has M tendencies, even publicly stated in front of the media that he likes this kind of life

The lower limit of this eye-catching reality show is ridiculously low, Li You only feels spicy, he is really not interested in watching such a show.

Scarlett, who was only wearing a pajamas, was quickly punished by Li You's arms, and after the laughter turned into a slurred sound, Jin's face on the side was slightly red:

"I'm going to get the bath water ready!"

Milinda looked at the girl who began to swallow, and took the initiative to lean into Li You's ear and whispered:

"Ms. Wexler has been actively preparing lately, and we will serve her well in the evening."

Pulling Scarlett back into his arms, Li You felt that the girl's breathing was a little short, hugged the two of them tightly and whispered:

"Willing to serve the three princesses!"

On Monday, January 3, multiple media outlets broke the news that Detroit mortgage mogul Dan Gilbert had reached a deal with current Cavaliers owner Gordon Gunder.

Gilbert, the nation's largest online mortgage company, was wealthy, and the tycoon's group offered Gund an offer of $375 million.

As soon as this news was revealed at the end of December, Cavaliers fans were a little nervous, but fortunately, Gilbert finally made a promise:

"We're not going to let the Cavaliers leave Cleveland!"

"My team will make sure that the fans and the community are connected, and we will make a positive impact on the city."

"Forty-one years is a long time, and like the sports fans in Cleveland, I've always believed that the city will win the championship, and that's what I'm fighting for!"

After the news was confirmed, LeBron James, who recently suspended due to injury, also expressed his opinion in an interview:

"I'll never forget Mr. Gund, who brought a championship coach to this team, and he got the Cavaliers to draft me."

"Mr. Gilbert has also made the right choice, the Cavaliers will be successful, and in a few years, Cleveland will have a championship!"

After the Christmas game, James also hit a triple-double before injuring his ankle and having to rest for a few days.

Van Gundy's Cavaliers have entered a stage of stability, and Cavaliers fans believe they can make the playoffs this year.

The fans in Miami have swelled a lot recently, and Mourning is reluctant to play for the Raptors, "crying and shouting" to play for the Heat, and the fans raised their hands to welcome it!

The sense of belonging of the Kidney Fighters is a source of pride for Heat fans, and that's their team culture.

After a 14-game winning streak, the sophomore Wade became more and more complacent with the blows of his teammates.

Before tonight's game against the SuperSonics, Wade shared his winning secret with the media in an interview:

"I really felt the 'white heat space', and in some games I only had the basket in my eyes, and every time I made a shot, the basketball automatically fell into the net. ”

"In that state, I don't think anyone can stop me, of course, I can't control it at the moment, I just wish I could have more nights like this!"

The Yahoo Sports reporter didn't believe what Wade said, but he liked the "god-whimsical" news.

Kobe Bryant, who has recently been in trouble again, has to be busy with the trespassing case, and after cutting 40+ in three consecutive games, he suddenly suffered a serious sprain in his right foot.

The injury is worse than expected, and Bryant will most likely miss at least two weeks of games.

While his teammates were flying away, Bryant stayed in Los Angeles for a check-up, and after seeing Yahoo publish the news about Wade, his mood was not beautiful again.

In February last year, Kobe Bryant scored 40+ in 9 consecutive games, and his average score per game exceeded 30 points that month!

not only equaled the record set by Mike Jordan, but also saved his reputation.

Everything is going in a good direction, but Phil Jackson's new book has caused problems for Kobe Bryant again.

In December, Bryant's No. 8 jersey sales plummeted, dropping directly to 72nd place.

Illegal invasion, Shaq also did it, Malone wants the green brother, Phil Jackson's "unteachable", and a series of negative news have made Kobe's popularity decline again.

When he limped home, Kobe Bryant saw the performance of Lee Woo in the ESPN show.

On the first day of the new year, in the game against the Nets, Li You played 38 minutes and easily scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

With 40 points in six consecutive games, Lee Woo has broken the record of 5 consecutive 40+ games set by El Kimbel and Allen Iverson.

Stephen A. Smith used his exaggerated tone to slam Lee You's scoring ability:

"The more shots, the higher the hit rate! There is no doubt that Lee is the all-time scorer. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a new record!"

“.”

Kobe Bryant's brows furrowed, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became, tying Michael Jordan's record, which he was proud of, and only a year later, the record was about to be broken?

Vanessa has been staying home lately, and since discovering that Karl Malone has bad intentions, Bryant has stopped inviting any of her teammates to the home party.

"Don't watch this boring news, the injury is just resting at home."

Kobe Bryant didn't react to his wife's words, as long as he thought that Li You might break the record this week, he felt very uncomfortable.

The "Equaling Jordan Record Award" is about to be gone!

On January 5, the Knicks flew to Miami non-stop after losing to the Kings at home blacksmith possession, and tonight is the highlight of the week.

Two days ago, the SuperSonics, who relied on Eddie Jones' three free throws in 0.4 seconds before the end of the game, the Heat made free throws to win 15 in a row.

Although the penalty is a bit controversial, Heat fans don't care about this, and O'Neal even boasted in front of the media:

"No one can stop the Heat's winning streak, we're unstoppable!"

The Christmas battle has taken a bad breath, and the recent winning streak has made O'Neill feel like the center of attention.

When asked by a TNT reporter about Lee's personal data, O'Neill pursed his lips and continued to say with a big mouth:

"I'm long past the age of pursuing data!"

'We've played against each other a lot and in my opinion, Lee is destined to score, don't worry about him too much, we just have to limit the other players.'

"Forget about him scoring and focus on the round in front of me, that's the championship experience I taught Wade!"

Wade has been preparing for this national live broadcast game for a long time, and although he did not speak grandly in an interview in the afternoon, he looked extremely confident.

The 15-game winning streak has put Wade in the MVP rankings, and as a sophomore, he is proud to be able to play at such a level.

At 7:30 p.m. that night, more than 20,000 fans entered the American Airlines Arena early.

Coach Stan Van Gundy just won the Coach of the Month award last month, and the whole person was visibly excited.

In contrast, Coach D'Antoni was as quiet as ever from the start of the game.

The director also frequently focused the camera on Gasol on the bench, who is still out of action due to an ankle injury.

Considering that Saturday's game is against the Super Fish Belly Hornets, it is clear to the sports media that Gasol's comeback will most likely have to wait until next week.

In the last attack of the half, Kristen Leitner, who came off the bench for the Heat, received a pass from Wade near the baseline on the right side and hit a jumper, and fans couldn't help but sigh with regret.

At 55:52, the Heat played well, containing the Knicks' three-pointers, but still trailed by three points.

With 7-of-7 shooting and 2-of-3 free throws, O'Neal was extremely efficient and chipped in 16 points, nine rebounds and two assists.

Although the team was still behind, O'Neill, who walked towards the players' tunnel, shouted excitedly:

"A rookie is a rookie, no one can stop me!"

Wade was 4-of-9 from the field and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line for 10 points, four rebounds, five assists and two turnovers.

The decent performance made Wade's excitement drop a lot, but seeing Big Brother's confident appearance was also infected, bouncing around in the back, screaming and screaming.

Heat fans were also very happy with the home team's halftime performance, squirming happily to the music at halftime, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a 16-game winning streak.

On the TNT commentary bench, Kevin Harlan cautiously commented on the performance of both sides:

"What surprised me was that the Heat only had four turnovers in the half, and they were really more mature than the Cavaliers, and O'Neal's arrival changed that team."

Doug Collins didn't hesitate to praise his own praise, taking the initiative to praise the speed of the Heat's defensive rotation:

"It's hard to see Lee 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line in the half, and if the Heat can take their chances from the outside, maybe they'll be the one leading at halftime."

"Coach Van Gundy has built the right system for this team, and I wouldn't be surprised if they make it to the Eastern Conference Finals this year!"

In the half, Lee Woo was 8-of-12, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Compared with the Heat's 1-of-7 performance from the outside, the Knicks also pulled their hips on 2-of-10.

Since the point difference is negligible, the two did not make much prediction in the commentary box, and the core players on both sides were in excellent form tonight, and the game is likely to be played in the fourth quarter.

“Let's go Heat！.”

After the start of the third quarter, as the fans cheered again, Damon Jones, who received the ball from the baseline, quickly rushed across the halfcourt.

On the left flank, Laga Bale kept staring at Wade, seeing that the opponent was going to cut inside and slip the bottom line, he hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity and chased hard.

On the right flank, Eddie Jones cuts in laterally on the line, near the free throw line, and Haslem symbolizes a screen.

Damon Jones sent in an early pass, and Eddie Jones, who had just arrived on the left flank, received the ball and rushed to protect it sideways.

At the bottom right of the basket, O'Neal didn't need the help of his teammates, and with his own pork belly, he successfully stuck Stoudemire behind him.

The pair pulled O'Neal down to the left low post and Eddie Jones immediately sent in a high-throw pass.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal put the ball with his right hand, leaned vigorously on the hit, and then knocked away Stoudemire, and then quickly turned in the direction of the baseline.

Dodging the defense and closing the ball, O'Neal grabbed the ball with his left hand and just wanted to complete the throw, but Stoudemire stuck it again.

After a moment's flickering, O'Neal didn't force the attack and wanted to play a time difference, but Stoudemire reacted faster and suddenly cut the ball.

A somewhat careless O'Neal instantly lost control of the ball, and the basketball smashed on his feet, and before he could bend down to catch the ball, it popped off the baseline.

Defending effectively for the first time in the game, Stoudemire high-fived excitedly.

O'Neal shook his head with a pretended to be X after glaring, and complained to the referee without being messy, beckoning his teammates and quickly retreating.

Soon the American Airlines arena sounded the sound of defensive cheers, Li You, who received the ball on the baseline, didn't care about Wade, who led the defense, accelerated the sprint with the ball in his left hand, and immediately dribbled behind his back after the body collided.

Taking advantage of Wade's dodge some distance, Li Youbi made a tactical gesture, and Stoudemire, who was reminded, slowed down.

When he came to the right wing with the ball in his right hand, Li You noticed that Wade was still sticking to it, protecting the ball sideways, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Because it was an away game, the referee grabbed an illegal cover tonight, and Stoudemire had to put away small moves in order to improve the quality of the screen.

Standing honestly on the right flank, Wade spotted the movement of Stoudemire behind him, and continued to stick to Li You, ready to squeeze through the cover at any time.

O'Neill naturally retreated to defense, playing 2 against 2 locally, without a bag, and both sides were very confident.

At the moment when the cover occurred, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, first turned his hip in concealment, and suddenly leaned over to accelerate.

Taking advantage of Wade's sliding step to the left rear, Li You quickly crossed the step and pulled back, and immediately stepped after switching to his left hand, accelerating the breakthrough close to his teammate's side.

O'Neal, who has been an opponent for many years, naturally delayed and let Wade continue to chase the defense, but as soon as he came to the free throw line, Li You sent a hitting pass.

After receiving the ball, Stoudemire rushed up directly in three steps, instantly got rid of O'Neal, ignored the help defense to Haslem under the basket, and picked up the basket with his right hand against the defense!

Stoudemire, who was 7-of-9 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, has scored 15 points so far.

"Shh

The bouncing Stoudemire was booed by the fans, which was visible to the naked eye compared to O'Neal's.

At 57:52, the Knicks had just widened the gap, and in retrospect, the Heat played the same tactic.

After receiving a pass from Eddie Jones again, O'Neal turned low on the left side and forced a basket to make a layup.

There is no good defensive method, Stoudemire is a little angry, but seeing Li You's offensive gestures, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly adjust his mentality.

Wade struggled to defend and kept giving physical duels, and when Lee Yo, who had the ball in his left hand, came to the left wing, Stoudemire stepped on the three-point line again.

Wade, who still wanted to continue to press, made another pounce, and Li You suddenly wrapped the ball around his back sharply.

Before O'Neal could slide, Li You, who was flying close to the ground with a heavy shoulder, got rid of the defense and went straight to the basket in the middle.

Haslem in the right elbow area subconsciously reached out and tried to interfere, and without waiting to get close to the free throw line, Li You took advantage of the situation to wrap the ball around his crotch.

Dodging the opponent's arm, Li You closed the ball when the basketball flew to the paint area.

"Oh!"

The Heat team's defense collapsed, and the fans at the scene exclaimed, Li You rushed to the bottom left of the basket in three strides and came to the bottom left of the basket in the blink of an eye.

"God! It's so fast! In one pick-and-roll, Lee passed the entire Heat defense. ”

Kevin Harlan exclaimed, and Doug Collins saw the Heat's predicament:

"O'Neal can't always rely on Wade's defense, Stoudemire's cover quality is still improving, and they have to adjust in time."

patted his younger brother on the shoulder, O'Neal encouraged Wade and asked him to defend the pick-and-roll, which was unreliable, and he could only make up for it in the offensive round.

“Let's go Heat！.”

The cheers were a little louder, and the Heat's routine remained the same, except that Prince suddenly shrank after Eddie Jones had just sent a pass on the left wing.

O'Neal, who received the high throw, did not force the ball to get off the ball, and after lifting the ball, he threw the ball back outside the three-point line again.

When Damon Jones received the ball at the top of the arc, he immediately beckoned Wade to answer, and the outside of the three-point line handed over the ball, and Li You directly changed the defense.

With his right hand, Wade defended the ball sideways and beckoned to Haslem, who immediately came to the top of the arc to take a stand.

Li You didn't choose to stick to the defense, and when he saw Wade pushing the ball and changing direction, he immediately walked off the line to bypass the cover.

Kurt Thomas coordinated lateral moves to block Wade's breakout lane.

Observing the defensive movement, Wade, who completed the change of direction, wrapped the ball around the ball with his left hand under his hip.

The basketball just flew in front of his body, and before Wade could control the ball, Li You cut the ball accurately and vigorously, and instantly stabbed the ball to the front.

Haslem, who had just twisted his body, didn't have time to bend down to pick up the ball, Li You stealthily pulled and borrowed force, and rushed out from the opponent's side in an instant.

Wade, who lost the ball, also reacted quickly, did not complain to the referee, and saw Li You controlling the ball, and immediately buried his head in pursuit.

The speed of the two was so fast that the fans in the front row couldn't help but exclaim again.

With the ball in his left hand, Li You ignored Wade, who was chasing from his side, and the two collided on the free throw line, and immediately joined the ball with the help of the rebound force.

Wade, who was hit and leaned back and began to slow down, gritted his teeth and pulled, Li You leaned forward, and at the same time as the referee blew the whistle, he threw the ball to the basket with his left hand at will!

"Squeak!"

Losing his center of gravity, Li You rushed out of the baseline and stood firm, and Wade, who was pulling, finally slipped and fell to the floor, watching the basketball bounce twice on the basket and fall into the net.

"Oh!"

On the Knicks bench, everyone cheered, and Wade, who was pulled up by his teammates, stared and gasped for air in frustration.

"Dude, don't test me with my moves!"

Li You, who walked to the free throw line, teased Wade, who was puffing and puffing, and the latter choked back with some unconvincing:

"You're just lucky to have touched the ball!"

At 60:54, Lee Yoga shook his head at Wade after hitting the free throw.

O'Neill whispered to remind the younger brother to calm down, and took the initiative to ask for the ball again in the offensive round.

Prince was still shrinking to the left low post, and after O'Neal passed the ball, the Heat began to score and play.

O'Neal, who finally moved laterally to the front of the basket with the help of the defense, received the ball again, and his right-handed throw was interfered with by Stoudemire.

Li You stepped forward to receive the response and suddenly picked up speed, and the right hand push changed direction, got rid of Damon Jones, overtook O'Neal on his side, and quickly rushed across the halfway line.

Stoudemire was also the first to strike, running hard to shake off the fat shark, who cursed twice in anger and repeatedly called on his teammates to hurry up and foul

Wade, who retreated, just moved to the top of the arc, and Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, shook his hidden wrist, and the basketball flew out diagonally.

Stoudemire, who rushed to the paint area, took the ball in stride, grabbed the ball with his right hand, jumped high on the bottom right of the basket, and smashed the dunk with his arm!

"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!

"Oh!"

Looking at Stoudemire who roared loudly near the baseline, the Heat fans exclaimed again, the speed of the center is about the same as that of the forward, and this kind of fast break still feels outrageous after watching it a few times.

O'Neal really wanted to win, but when he ran to the three-point line and saw his teammates kick the ball, he cursed angrily.

Even if he lost some weight, he still gasped for air as long as he sprinted for a few rounds.

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines was also a little anxious, and hurriedly reminded the players loudly:

"Damon! Slow down and steady the pace! ”

The Heat scored again, and O'Neal lived up to expectations, hitting the left low post and causing a foul on Stoudemire's beater.

On the Knicks bench, Ewing clapped his hands and followed with a loud reminder, signaling that Stoudemire would foul harder.

Perhaps because he had just finished a switchback run, O'Neal missed both free throws despite aiming for a long time.

The Heat fans sighed, Kurt Thomas accepted the rebound, and Lee You, who received the ball, did not attack in time, and after dribbling past half court, the opponent had completed the defensive alignment.

Wade stared at the basketball in Li You's left hand, and stepped forward to pounce on interference away from the three-point line.

Li You leaned over the defense to accelerate, took advantage of the opponent's hand to cut the ball, and changed the direction of the crotch to dodge the defense after a sharp stop.

Wade hurriedly moved backwards to prevent a breakthrough, and Li You's body shook to the right front while instantly completing the change of direction in front of the body.

The range of movement is not large, but the speed of changing direction is extremely fast, Wade, who was attacked to the front of the defense, only felt that the basketball disappeared from in front of him, and then hit his side vigorously, fixed in place, and watched Li You go straight to the basket.

“Wow！”

Some fans cheered after the wonderful pass, and O'Neal and Haslem, who had just returned from the defense, instinctively moved to the basket.

Breaking through to the paint area directly in front of the basket, Lee Woo closed the ball and threw it to the top left of the basket.

O'Neal realized that the situation was wrong, so he wanted to leave the basket, but Stoudemire behind him bounced too fast, jumped high and grabbed the ball with his right hand, did not give the opponent time to react, and pressed the ball into the basket fiercely!

"Ahh

Stoudemire, who was holding the basket to unload, roared loudly, and the whole person almost rode on top of O'Neal.

At 64:54, the margin came to double digits.

"Shh

The boos resounded in the arena again, and O'Neill, who was a background board, instantly broke the defense, pushed away Stoudemire, who had just landed, and shouted angrily:

"Falk squid! Show me some respect! You jumping idiot! ”

"Fat pig! Who do you think you are! ”

Stoudemire scolded and immediately pushed back, but before the referee could stop it, the two were already hugging each other.

The players on both sides all rushed over, and the two strong men hugged each other, and they couldn't be separated for a while.

Finally, to the screams of the fans, Stoudemire tripped O'Neill to the floor, and the two fell to the camera with a thud.

The security personnel hurriedly rushed over, and everyone worked together to pull the two sides apart, but O'Neill still did not give up, cursing and swearing, and was surrounded by his teammates and returned to the bench.

Returning to his seat in a huff, thinking of the double-digit point difference, some painful memories came back to his mind, O'Neill did not speak, but his mood became more and more depressed:

"Hell New York!"
