Chapter 391 "They're Not That Tough" (6000 Words Chapter)
In recent years, every time O'Neal came to New York, he was ridiculed by fans.
New York's sports media love sharks, and O'Neal always brings more joy than the unedged Allen Iverson.
On the morning of the 24th, the protagonist of the sports section of the New York Post was not the shark who has always had a big mouth, nor the inflated newcomer, the veteran Mourning became the pistachio of New York fans.
O'Neal and Wade did not attend the press conference after the loss due to physical discomfort, and the Kidney Fighter made a strong statement on behalf of the Heat:
"They are the defending champions, but they can be beaten!"
"The Knicks have shown weakness, they're not invincible."
"We used to think the Chicago Bulls weren't going to lose, and the Knicks broke that notion."
"Now history repeats itself, they won't rule the league all the time, we all know that."
Wade wanted to catch the ball early, but Coach Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines called for Damon Jones to give the ball inside.
Ivana, who was wearing a blue professional suit, was going to work in the company in the afternoon, and when she saw Li You also showing an interested look, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
Watching Li You smash a gliding pose, run to the bench with a smile, and keep high-five the fans in the front row to celebrate, Wade, who returned to his seat, couldn't hold back at all.
O'Neal got the ball back to his teammates outside the three-point line in time, and Eddie Jones hit a shot in the open space.
Kevin Harlan was also dumbfounded, and involuntarily raised his voice amid the cheers:
At the same time as sending the pass, O'Neal delayed Li You, who was chasing the defense, and Wade, who was holding the ball in his left hand, took a step sideways, and saw that Gasol was still retreating, so he made a decisive jump shot!
The remarks made the sports reporters in New York almost laugh out loud, 92:117, the Heat lost by 25 points, but after the game, they talked about the weakness of the defending champions?
It's a typical referee game that takes care of rookies, and if the Heat don't make 25 free throws at halftime, the suspense will be out of luck early.
Kurt Thomas was on the free-throw line, and Haslem followed.
Li You stroked the black silk beautiful leg at hand, and Ivana didn't care, but moved the direction:
"You'll see the benefits in the second half of the year, and believe me, it's definitely a win-win situation."
Considering that the superstars will eventually explode in the series, the sports media in Miami think their home team still has a good chance of winning!
Stoudemire played just 22 minutes in last night's game, shooting 9-of-13 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line to finish with 22 points, seven rebounds, one assist and two turnovers.
Dropping the towel on the floor, Wade rubbed his face hard, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
Eastern Conference Finals G1, Heat role players performed well;
When approaching the bottom right of the basket, Li You slowed down immediately after closing the ball, and stepped to the layup to adjust the direction of the stride for the second time.
Kurt Thomas, who had been instructed, dragged behind, and as Lee Yo came to the right flank, Prince slipped over the baseline in the bottom right corner.
O'Neal, who had just stopped, didn't even have time to stretch out his hand, and Li You, who was leading the ball forward and accelerating with a heavy shoulder, had already squeezed past him.
"Oh!"
“.”
Suddenly changed direction during the march, and the two of them completed the attack with the same hands and feet, Doug Collins looked at Li You, who shook his head and retreated, and subconsciously blew X:
The obvious offensive intention allowed O'Neal, who received the ball in the low post on the left side, to be assisted by Raga Bale again.
D'Antoni still has a smile on his face, and he believes the Heat will have ups and downs.
Perhaps because he was well cared for, Kim didn't react much and was able to work normally except for his growing waistline.
Closer to noon, Stan Van Gundy reconfirmed the news in an interview:
Milinda wears white suspenders and loose pajama pants at home, and Kim wears a voluminous blue T-shirt with the same pajama pants.
Seeing Li You's one-on-two score, Madison Square Garden was completely boiling.
Coupled with the fact that Big Brother had another injury, the inflated Wade did not speak loudly anymore, and there was no smile on his face during the interview:
"How do you break through Lee's defense? I don't know very well, but I believe in my talent. ”
"Is it a boy or a girl? It is better to have the first child or a boy. ”
In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the paint area, and Wade, who was trying to chase the defense, helplessly watched Li You rush up in three steps and burst into the basket.
In the eyes of the New York media, Stoudemire, who came off the bench, has blown up the interior of the Heat, and Mourning's words are to find face for himself, and he was taught a lesson by the rookie!
Fans on both sides argued from last night until the morning, until the Heat officially announced that O'Neal G2 was doubtful, and the ball critics began to predict one-sidedly.
"Squeak!"
In the exclamation of the fans, when he broke through to the right blocking area and approached the paint area, Li You suddenly circled the ball with a large return while moving, and at the same time moved sideways.
Craig Sager apparently looked at the technical statistics and asked very pointedly:
"Mike, you missed a lot of chances from beyond the three-point line in the half, and after 3-of-11 three-pointers, are you going to make adjustments?"
The eight-point difference made the Heat's coaching staff a little nervous and opted for a more secure offensive approach.
“OH——!”
With a joy in his heart, Wade pounced directly, trying to cover Li You with his body, and used the sideline to complete the "bag clip".
"We shot less than 30 percent from the field and we were really bad from beyond the three-point line."
Perhaps because of the physical impact of the body, O'Neal will immediately come to the elbow area as long as he fails to get to a better position in the low post.
“Defense!.”
Both of them wore blonde hair and looked at Ivana with gossipy expressions.
O'Neal was silent, just calmly drinking the "oral liquid", and every time it came to the third quarter of the game, he had a sense of déjà vu.
On May 25, in G2 of the Western Conference Finals that ended last night, the Spurs won again.
Taking advantage of Haslem's sliding step to help defend, Li You slightly raised his center of gravity, quickly in and out with his right hand, and led the ball forward again.
"Injuries do affect my form, but that's the playoffs."
Before going on the field, Mo Ning, who was surrounded by him, felt a chill in his heart, but said loudly:
Haslem, who was desperately sliding, tried to slow down Lee, while Wade, who was chasing behind him, controlled his position and did not give Lee a chance to pass the ball.
Recently, the Dolan family relied on their money power to turn around the West Side Stadium project.
"Ivana told me that she was playing like a cross-dressing Dracula!"
There is a lot of news about the four major sports leagues in New York, but when they heard the ABC channel announce that "Trump Unauthorized" will air at 7 p.m., several people at the table looked at Ivana.
Li You, who stood on the free throw line, smiled and praised Wade, who was looking at him, and Meng Xin came back to his senses and could only pout secretly.
With years of experience in the game, everyone on the Knicks knows the shark dessert very well.
Amid the cheers of the defense, Wade, who held the ball in his left hand, came to the top of the arc, and soon O'Neal stepped up to block and dismantle.
The experienced O'Neal retreated to the three-point line early and tried to establish a defensive position, but with a running distance, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, ignored the defense and increased his stride to accelerate in a straight line.
Haslem was still twisting to adjust his center of gravity, and although Wade jumped hard, he still couldn't interfere in time, and could only watch Li You throw the ball into the basket in an awkward position.
Soon the Knicks pulled Li You, who was lying on the floor, up.
Ginobili has made a name for himself this season since the Olympics broke out, also gaining a foothold with the Spurs.
“What a play by Lee!”
Haslem felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these piercing cheers, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to say a few cruel words, so he could only look up at the basket to hide the embarrassment of being spaced.
1 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, Eddie Jones, who retreated, threw his fist in frustration, gritted his teeth and rushed to try to cooperate with Wade to contain Li You in advance.
Coupled with the previous explosion in the insurance industry, Spitzer sued a number of well-known people in the industry, and many investors began to withdraw their funds.
The whole person was in a big shape, and Wade just pounced in front of Li You, but he felt cold in his crotch, and the basketball passed through his crotch.
Recently, "Desperate Housewives" ushered in the end of the season, coupled with the end of the American idol, many melon-eating people began to shift their attention to sports.
Standing close to the three-point line, O'Neal relied on his body to successfully delay Li You, who was trying to squeeze past the cover.
Mo Ning is worthy of being an old-school player, and with the blessing of the "Spiritual Victory Method", he has been cheering up the team:
"I never look at boring stats, wins are wins, as long as I can win, the stats don't matter at all."
When O'Neill followed Gasol to the left elbow, he thought it was another "V-shaped" attack.
91:108, relying on the excellent play of Ginobili on the bench, the Spurs successfully protected the home court.
With two quick back-to-back dribbles in a row, and the basketball returned to his right hand, Lee briefly shook Wade off the three-point line.
Speaking to TNT's reporters, O'Neill confirmed that he will start tonight:
"30% Shaq is better than no Shaq! That's the impact I have on the team. ”
Eddie Jones then threw the ball on the right flank in time for O'Neal who came to the low post after crossing the screen.
Wade, who led the defense, interfered from time to time, and after figuring out the scale of the blowing penalty, his actions became more and more bold.
“Let's go Knicks!.”
"But when it comes to the divisional finals, there are injuries on the players, the lads just need to adjust their bodies, and we will definitely give it our all in G2."
Just when asked why he only scored 9 points in the last game, Wade could only change the topic and talk about agreeing with Mourning:
"Maybe the New York fans see Lee as Superman, but in reality he's just like us, he's human, he's going to get old, he's going to decline, and nobody can win all the time."
Wade was not deceived into sliding steps, but Eddie Jones, who retreated to the basket, jumped early and flew out of the baseline in an instant.
Stepping straight in front of the basket, Li You crashed through the defense and got space to shoot.
The throw, which failed to get into the paint, eventually stumbled out of the basket, and Kurt Thomas protected the backcourt rebound, and Prince, who received it, advanced with the ball.
Aiming at the situation on the other side, Li You pushed the ball in advance and changed direction, and after switching to his right hand, he buried his head again and accelerated.
Lee and Bobby need more investors to believe in them, and in the event of a subprime mortgage crisis, if a large number of investors withdraw their capital, it will affect the final returns.
"The defending champions also have weaknesses, and the Heat will show their desire!"
Doug Collins didn't expect the Knicks' adjustment to be so simple and crude:
"The Heat need to protect O'Neal, they have to switch defenses early, but Haslem will have a hard time dealing with Gasol's low-post offense."
“.”
Lee Yoo scored eight points in a row at the start of the second half, and Stan Van Gundy, who was holding the tactical board, kept emphasizing defense.
Wade still showed an expression of disbelief, and he didn't even reason with the referee, obviously he made a very correct defensive choice, but he was beaten 2+1
"What a nice attempt! It's not close! ”
Hedge funds are having a hard time, as the stock prices of GM and Ford have been falling, affecting many institutions.
On the other side, Jin cleared the whistle, shared his news, and whispered:
"It's not a real person, in short, this should be a good film."
On the right side near the baseline, Haslem's off-ball cover did not play much role, and Li You chased after him.
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
As for why no one spoke in the first few months, it was naturally because the PR was not in place
In the second Eastern Conference Finals, there were no protesters in the arena, and most of the fans who bought tickets to watch the game were immersed in the game, cheering for the home team.
"But we had 10 turnovers for the Heat, and that's why we took the lead."
"This is the worst TV movie ever!"
In the second half, the referee made up the whistle, which made the technical statistics look good, but anyone who watched the game knew how big the gap between the two teams was.
The custom blue color gives a more mature feeling, and the price of nearly 500,000 US dollars has made the car sell less than 600 units in the United States, and the high price also makes it an eye-catcher.
Lee Woo was driving Ivana's Carrera GT, a sports car that was launched last year as a birthday present.
Improve the cover position, near the logo, as Gasol stood still, Li You, who had been sideways to protect the ball, first blew up the ball on the spot, turned his back and changed to his left hand to feign a breakthrough.
After scoring the team's highest score, Wade was full of energy after the start of the third quarter, and Damon Jones asked for the ball early before halftime.
"Losers always come up with all sorts of excuses."
The basketball got out of his hand and flew directly to the other side of his body, Li You slid deftly, with the help of cover, and controlled the ball again, but Wade could only stop.
Li You accelerated and squeezed past his side, but he didn't forget to push and shove covertly, destroying the opponent's center of gravity.
In the morning, a New York Post op-ed ridiculed Mourning's words:
After saying this, the girls suddenly burst into laughter, Li You pulled the corners of his mouth, Tang Qude also called him last night to help promote it, fortunately he was very cautious and knew that the other party was focused on bad movies
Lunch ended with several gossips, and Lee Woo needed to take Ivana to work, and then to the Talitown Training Center.
In the face of Gasol, Wade did not bury his head in the collision, but gave the ball to Damon Jones on the left wing at the moment when Raja Bale contracted to help the defense.
The ball was pushed backwards, and Wade, who switched to his right hand, accelerated with a heavy shoulder.
The moment he got rid of the defense, he suddenly made a sharp stop, and he took a step away from the three-point line, and Damon Jones successfully hit a two-point shot!
At 49:53, the Heat who were booed became more and more excited, and O'Neal patted his teammate on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement when he returned to the defense.
At 51:61, the margin came to double digits.
After more than a day of rest, D'Antoni just trained as usual, and as long as the race was ahead, the mustache insisted on hosting:
Dozens of economic experts have come out to speak out, arguing that building a stadium will not bring much economic benefit to the city.
"Silent after the game", since scoring nine points the night before, Wade's self-esteem has been seriously hurt.
Watching Li You stand on the free throw line and on the commentary bench, Kevin Harlan exclaimed:
"It seems that Lee has found a way to deal with the bag and improve the cover position, which can really magnify his advantage."
In the excited shouts of the New York fans, Li You, who completely threw off the defense, rushed up in three steps, flattened the basket with his head, glided straight ahead, grabbed the ball with his right hand and slammed the ball into the basket!
But when Kurt Thomas suddenly moved to the basket and Gasol ran beyond the three-point line, O'Neal could only follow the defense again.
The cheers resumed, and the long rebound was picked up by Lee Woo near the free throw line, and he immediately launched a transition attack.
Wade didn't care where to look at the ball anymore, and Prince sent in an early pass for Lee to receive the ball near the left touchline.
"Oh!"
Ray Allen and Lewis have been underwhelming and they will have to protect their home turf next.
It's a pity that the traffic in New York is really bad, and it can't play the performance of the car at all, Ivana touched up her makeup on the co-pilot, saw someone looking here, smiled and kissed Li You:
"My dad is going to move some of the money, and he thinks Axes Capital has been doing well recently."
Amid the cheers, Li You's penalty hit steadily, 49:56.
"The league's strongest duo will still cry in New York!"
Affected by injury, O'Neill only played 14 minutes in the half, but he was very efficient and actively helped his younger brother in his limited playing time.
Just looking at the data, in the starting lineup, O'Neal's 18 points and Wade's 9 points were out of order.
"Lee will take care of the situation on the field and I'm sure the lads will get their groove back."
The boos didn't affect Wade's mood, and before leading Li You, he gave himself two slaps in an attempt to inspire a better game.
'Wade is still very young, time is on our side, and that's what I've learned after a major injury, no one can beat time.
9-of-11, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, and played only 31 minutes, Ginobili recorded 28 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 5 turnovers.
The latter immediately swayed after receiving the ball, and while Raga Bale was returning to the defense to adjust his center of gravity, Damon Jones broke through decisively.
As Wade jumped up to block, grabbed the ball with his right hand and leaned back, and when he was about to land, Li Youcai tilted his body and threw the ball to the rebound!
At the end of the half, the score came to 47:53, and after encountering a large number of packs, the Knicks' outside line could not respond efficiently.
"Turmp Unauthorized" is so bad that people can't complain about it is also the main reason, and some people even call for the more beautiful Ivana to star in this TV movie.
During the early warm-up in the afternoon, O'Neal, who has been keeping the injury situation strictly secret, finally accepted an interview.
Directly in front of the basket, Li You in the air held the ball with his right hand, saw Haslem jump up and block, dexterously changed hands, and then grabbed the ball with his left hand, and smashed the ball into the basket through the defense!
"Squeak!"
"Lee not only showed his terrifying physical coordination, but also showed us his love for basketball!"
It is not clear whether Lee Woo trains Wade hard, he just knows that if he wants to complete such an outrageous goal, the core strength must be very good
What Wade experienced was the crushing of the body, the offensive round, trying to catch the ball in the dessert position on the left flank and being destroyed by Li You's kraft candy defense.
Just squeezed between the two, in the paint area in front of the basket, Li You jumped with his left foot and quickly threw the ball with his left hand.
"The hip injury affected Shaq and Wade also had some knee problems.
Lee Yoo rushed across the half court along the left touchline, and Wade next to him kept an eye on the movement at the top of the arc.
After the two went out, Milinda quickly came to King's side again, buried her head in her arms and listened for a long time, and asked with great interest:
Wade was 4-of-10 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line for 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.
Stan Van Gundy was forced to ask for a timeout, and Kevin Harlan was in the commentary box and yelled into a state of self-indulgence.
'Maybe I won't be able to score as efficiently as I did in the first two rounds, but I'll still keep shooting, Shaq has a health problem and I have to take on the responsibility of being a leader.'
Milinda, who had just returned from England, was on holiday and after seeing the trailer, she asked curiously:
"Is this a new film about family history? The Apprentice has been a real success this season. ”
"You can only hone such a skill after a lot of practice!"
At 20 o'clock that night, Madison Square Garden ushered in the Eastern Conference Finals G2.
The latter immediately moved towards the top of the arc after receiving the ball, and at the same time, Wade in the bottom left corner started again and quickly slipped past the baseline.
Grabbing half of the position, Li You crashed into the opponent's arms and forced a breakthrough against the defense.
O'Neal only dribbled one step to the defense before turning to the baseline, closing the ball and grabbing the ball with his left hand to complete the throw.
Wade, who forcibly twisted his body, finally mixed garlic under his feet, plopped and fell on the three-point line, watching Li You chase the basketball straight to the basket.
At lunchtime, Lee Woo was still at home on 82nd Street, and the team's training session was moved to the afternoon.
Unable to get close to the three-point line, Li You suddenly moved towards the top of the arc, and then accelerated and reversed.
Li You, who received the ball on the bottom line, suddenly accelerated his advance speed this time, and for a while Wade could only follow the rapid sliding step.
Wade squeezed through again strongly, sensing that the opponent was chasing to his side, and Li You took advantage of the situation to wrap the ball around his back sharply.
Li You, who received the ball on the baseline, dribbled through the half court in 8 seconds, and the outside projection was poor, and the two wings squatted early in the bottom corner to open up space.
With the ball in succession from the outside, the low posts on either side could not be put in place, and O'Neal came to the right elbow area to receive a pass from Eddie Jones.
Li You showed no signs of slowing down, and went straight to the basket against Wade.
Haslem contributed 18 points, Eddie Jones also added 15 and Damon Jones also scored 11 points thanks to garbage time.
Taking advantage of the red light, Ivana turned around to kiss again, showing her trust, showing off every day, and the two of them could be in the newspaper the next day.
51:56, although Wade's mid-range jumper performance was average in the half, this offense was still very decisive.
The referee blew the whistle, Wade's eyes widened, and he struggled to block it to no avail, and the basketball went into the basket after hitting the high board.
"Even if Lee gets more points in the game, it won't affect our fighting spirit."
Prince sensed the situation behind him and immediately followed the ball to shrink the bag.
Before the start of the second half, TNT's reporters interviewed D'Antoni.
Trust is built over a long period of time and getting the money from Don is a good start, and the big mouth will automatically advertise them at the club.
In the shouting, Li You's penalty hit again, and the score came to 51:59.
The Heat team who is still in Manhattan has been ignored, and because O'Neal's injury news has not been updated, Li You's personal gossip has become the object of attention of the melon-eating masses.
"God! How did he do it? ”
As the Heat's perimeter rotated in turn, O'Neal turned sideways and handed the ball to Wade in the elbow area.
The referee followed the whistle and saw Haslem stumble after landing, and the arena boiled again.
Wade, who was forced to adjust his center of gravity, kept retreating, and soon the two rushed across the half-court to the right flank.
Kim shook her head, she didn't pay attention to this, but said with satisfaction:
"I didn't pay attention to that, but it must be a cute little guy."
The Spurs' strong performance has led many commentators to look forward to Duncan's first career championship.
"We need to fight! The opponent is not as tough as you think! ”
