Ever since Kobe Bryant was shown off by Li You in the Rookie Challenge, he has been practicing hard when he returned to the team. He is still a little worried about not getting the mVp in the Rookie Challenge.
Although he won the slam dunk title, Silver Fox Harris still didn't quite buy it. After the All-Star weekend, he didn't give Kobe much playing time.
In contrast, after O'Neal was injured, Li You's good friend Travis Knight got some opportunities.
The game against the Knicks entered the second half of the second quarter, and Van Exel calmed down and regained the rhythm of the game.
There is no need for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Holding the ball in his left hand, he suddenly lowers his center of gravity and swings to the left. Van Exel takes advantage of the situation to complete the change of direction in front of his body.
Noticing Li You's sliding step, he switched to his right hand and immediately pulled the ball backwards, pretended to turn around, and then suddenly twisted forward. Van Exel lowered his center of gravity again, stopped and started suddenly, accelerated with all his strength, and instantly broke through Li You's defense. .
Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing both began to retreat, and with Li You sliding into the paint, it instantly became a three-man encirclement.
Taking advantage of the trend, Van Exel observed the position of his teammates in the air, and finally passed the ball through the gap.
Center Sean Lukes, who came on the bench, caught the ball at the lower left side of the basket. Just as he was about to put the basket up, he was pulled down by Oakley who turned back to defend.
"squeak!"
"These media won't really award MVP to others, right? With 49 wins and 6 losses, with the Bulls' record, Michael Jordan can't win the award?"
"It's still not smart enough to not play away games in Salt Lake City, just to be in an invincible position!"
101:106, the Jazz successfully regained a victory!
"We have a record of 44 wins and 11 losses, why doesn't anyone say that someone from the Knicks is going to win the mVp?"
The Jazz's home commentator, Rod Hunter, could only comment helplessly after seeing Malone hitting two shots after the opening game.
"Just like in this game, let Pat finish, rather than keep attacking from him."
"Hell! He made 11 free throws in the 4th quarter and it was a foul if he touched it!"
After leading the defense for halftime, Van Exel noticed Charles Oakley moving to the top of the key and quickly adjusted his center of gravity, preparing to squeeze through the screen.
Commentator Rod Hunter was also worried. The Salt Lake City fans all wanted to help Malone win the award. He couldn't lose this game...
After the game, he made 8 of 25 shots and 11 of 17 free throws. Ewing scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers!
The protagonists of this game are naturally Malone and Ewing, but the scene of mutual confrontation at the basket did not happen. Malone shot a jumper, and Ewing also shot a jumper...
Li You next to him just smiled after hearing Alan Houston's words, and he knew clearly:
After Charles Oakley and Ewing returned to the locker room, they cursed the referee. After scolding the referee, they cursed Stockton:
Ewing made 4 of 9 in the half, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points. Gorilla held a water bottle in his seat and drank a lot, and finally compromised:
Ewing sent a pass, and Stockton was about to defend, but Li You didn't make any adjustments, just raised the ball and threw it!
Jeff Van Gundy had no choice but to raise his voice, squatting in front of everyone, loudly reminding the rotation lineup not to play blindly...
The opportunity that the young Kobe Bryant had been dreaming of finally came, but unfortunately, the game seemed to be entering garbage time.
After completing the pass, he immediately moved and "Auntie" went over to cover Li You.
"Shhh!!"
Everyone agrees with what Li You said. The atmosphere team naturally wants more playing time. Jeff Van Gundy's recent insistence on the main team has shrunk the data of everyone on the bench.
Within two minutes of returning to the bench, Larry Johnson also came off the court to keep company with Li You.
11 of 22, 6 of 8 free throws, 28 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers. Ewing also scored a huge double-double in the key game!
"We don't need to change our tactics too much, we just need to work hard in a certain quarter of the game."
Stockton noticed the movement behind him, and without any unnecessary movement, he immediately chose to step forward to defend, ready to squeeze through the screen at any time.
It's just that such a move is destined to anger Maikou again. He kills three birds with one stone. The sports programs in the morning were all about mVp.
Obviously the media's campaign has affected Malone's mentality. He is really going to be double-killed by Ewing. Coupled with the Knicks' record, there is a high probability that mVp will be gone...
This kind of award is too far away from the Knicks. Although Ewing is playing in New York, he is not well received by the media. In recent years, he has been labeled as a softie on the head of the gorilla...
This is not the first time this situation has occurred. Everyone in the Knicks team has been prepared for it. Li You from the left wing quickly cuts in at 45 degrees without the ball.
After the start of the second half, the two sides were completely stalemate until the Jazz suddenly started to rain...
Retrieving the ball with his right hand, Li You completely got rid of the defense and went straight to the basket with the ball!
Unlike Van Gundy who often requires defenders to lead the defense, most teams will not choose such a defensive strategy.
"Karl Malone doesn't deserve to win mVp!..."
On the left wing, Li You pointed at the left block with his right finger. Ewing understood it and moved up from the low position.
Knight first pretended to post up in the low post, then suddenly turned around and cut into the basket without the ball. Campbell at the free throw line immediately sent a pass.
Van Exel was always paying attention to the movement behind him at the top of the arc, but Li You didn't do much and simply sent a through ball.
Li You saw on the TV that the ESPN commentator didn't mention Jordan's MVP at all, and suddenly felt a little funny. The per capita hot little expert...
After catching the ball, he released the ball with his right hand. He hit it and immediately turned toward the baseline. Ewing stuck Knight behind him. Just as he was about to complete the layup, he found that Sean Luke had also shrunk his defense.
"Protect our backcourt rebounds. There are two 2.10-meter big men on the opposite side. Don't give the opponent a second chance to attack."
With 4 minutes and 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Stockton broke through for a layup, causing Li You to foul.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. Perhaps they were fed up at half-time, and the cheers from the scene were gone.
"Boom!!" Dunk from the basket!
As the game time passed, the Lakers fans at the scene noticed that the Knicks were gradually blossoming. "Aunt" even showed off her low-post skills, scoring easily on Jerome Kersey's head in two consecutive rounds.
As Van Exel was about to squeeze through the screen, Li You quickly changed direction with his hips. At the same time, he lowered his body's center of gravity, opened the way with his shoulders, and switched to his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
Ostertag noticed Ewing moving to the top of the arc to pick and roll, and could only bite the bullet and defend out.
The shouting and cursing at the scene was getting louder and louder. If they lost this game, everyone on the Jazz team would have to collectively break the defense.
After receiving Li You's lob pass, Ewing was not in a hurry to attack. At this time, Li You pretended to cut in without the ball. When he came to the blocking area, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and quickly bounced to the left corner.
After losing in New York and returning home, it’s natural to win back!
Li You, who accelerated the breakthrough, did not force a layup against the two defenses. He broke through to the left blocking area and immediately sent a behind-the-back pass.
Not only has Karl Malone not declined this season, his mVp calls are getting louder and louder!
In the Lakers' live commentary booth, Chick Hearn's voice revealed a depressed mood. The Knicks' interior defense was too fierce, and the new twin towers were frequently deflated.
One wants to be fast, the other wants stability, perhaps due to frequent physical contact, both sides are clashing...
On the Knicks bench, everyone laughed and waved towels in celebration after seeing the rookie's performance.
With such an anxious game, more and more Jazz fans at the scene were shouting with excitement, and more and more people were vomiting sweet things.
50:50, after halftime, the two sides were still tied.
In the end, in this focus battle involving mVp, the Jazz had the last laugh.
Fortunately, this time Eddie Jones scored two points in an emergency stop from the left wing, which finally made the Los Angeles fans at the scene cheer.
"Maybe everyone is happy to see him not getting the award."
91:73, there is no suspense in the game.
After a block with great visual impact, the fans exclaimed and took control of the ball. Ewing immediately gave the ball to Li You.
Once your grades are good, you will naturally have more desire. Everyone wants to get MVP, and Ewing also wants to get more impression points.
The victory makes people feel happy. Although they still have to fly to Salt Lake City, the Knicks have completely recovered from the disastrous defeat.
Van Exel has been on the field since the beginning of the fourth quarter, but perhaps due to adjustments in the midfield, he no longer shoots three-pointers at will like in the first quarter.
The thug fouled and the referee pointed to the free throw line. Oakley didn't care. This was his second foul.
"These bullshit media have double standards. If you look at the record, the mVp must belong to the Bulls players."
Seeing that "aunt" didn't believe what he said, Li You didn't refute, he also liked to have fun.
The Bulls will definitely not be able to catch up. These old guys are very stable, but if they lose the division championship again, it will not look good on anyone.
The moment Van Exel stood still, Ewing was ready to step forward to defend. Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first blasted the ball vigorously on the spot, and then circled the ball behind his back.
Jazz fans exclaimed. Before anyone could see what was going on, Stockton and Ostertag collided.
Ewing scored easily, and coach Harris on the sidelines began to call Knight, indicating that he should pay attention to defense.
A big lead finally allowed everyone in the Knicks to recover from the disastrous defeat, and the joyful atmosphere of the past was restored on the bench.
"Lee, outstanding performance. From the second quarter, we completely controlled the rhythm of the game. Facing an All-Star defender, with such a performance, you are our mVp tonight!"
On the night of the 25th, enthusiastic Salt Lake City fans entered the Delta Center Arena early. Before the game even started, there were already shouts and curses.
Ewing had just stood still, and when Stockton stepped forward to defend, Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, circled the ball behind his back. The moment he scooped up the ball with his left hand, he took advantage of the trend to lead the ball forward.
With the improvement of efficiency visible to the naked eye, Jeff Van Gundy naturally wants to take this opportunity to provide more encouragement...
Without making any adjustments after receiving the ball, Alan Hughes made a solid mid-range jumper!
Only scoring 40 points at halftime, the Lakers gave the Los Angeles fans a lot of fun...
"It would be great if we can play like this from now on. Tonight is the best game we have played recently."
However, both of them were aiming to score. The gorilla who completed the dunk roared angrily and then high-fived Li You in celebration.
"God! Lee felt hot tonight! He hit a three-pointer again!"
There were more and more confrontations, and small moves continued, but in the last few minutes of the first half, the two teams played efficient offense at the same time.
"We have to keep our lead. Two wins is really not much."
Ewing also took advantage of the situation and made sarcastic remarks. They hope to win 60+ games this season!
...
The two got entangled after the start. Malone wanted to express himself too much, but failed to seize several easy scoring opportunities.
Van Exel, who felt he had lost face, threw down his towel after the game and walked directly to the locker room.
"We have to play more relaxedly, as we have back-to-back games on the road."
Larry Johnson went to Li You's room out of boredom to chat and spank:
When the hand was not feeling good, coach Harris would not let the small guard shoot randomly, and chose to play from the inside.
The gorilla at the tail end of his peak is no longer the super center who can easily score after getting stuck in the low post on the left side, throwing up the line, and turning down the line.
In the moment of hesitation, Ewing failed to release the ball in time and was almost double-teamed by the opponent. Finally, he turned and returned the ball to Oakley, who came to the free throw line to respond.
Several veterans also felt that if mVp did not consider McDuck, then it would be Ewing's turn.
At the critical moment, Li You committed six fouls and left the game. The Jazz fans at the scene cheered loudly. Jeff Van Gundy did not accept this result:
"Whoa!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.
Li You said nothing after changing his jersey. There was no way to talk about this topic. With the Knicks' "iron-blooded" style of play, if you can't beat the opponent, you will knock down the opponent, which is destined to be unpopular...
"You are a head coach, why don't you dare to fight with a gorilla..."
There were two shots in the second half. Van Exel was already depressed, but when he heard Li You's words, he became even more angry.
Jazz fans continued to make loud noises. After receiving the pass, Li You was not affected by anything. He held the ball with his left hand and moved sideways to protect the ball and dribbled it across the half court.
At 8:6, there were 7 minutes and 24 seconds left in the first quarter. After the opening shot, the Knicks took the lead to break the deadlock.
"Auntie" doesn't believe that the mVp will be transferred to other people, and thinks that the gorillas are all self-fantasy.
"..."
Van Exel no longer chose to lead the defense, but quickly retreated with his teammates.
The Pippen successor was also possessed by a blacksmith in the first half, and was let go by Alan Houston.
Assistant coach Thibodeau nodded after hearing Li You's two sentences. In many cases, the Knicks' tactics are formulated by assistant coaches.
"Whoa!" A steady hit from mid-range.
"Losing this game brings the record to 38 wins and 17 losses. We may lose the top spot in the Western Conference!"
Seeing the point difference widening again, Chick Hearn lost all emotion in the commentary box. This score of nearly 24 seconds completely destroyed the Lakers' rhythm.
The NBA league and the trouble-making media seem to want to give McDuck some eye candy. The matter of the top 50 superstars will not be easy to get over.
"Don't think about attacking me unless it's a wide open spot. I still haven't recovered from the Sonics game."
It doesn't matter if the Bulls are far ahead in record, mVp is chosen by the media vote!
The Utah Jazz are getting better and better this season. With two games less than the Lakers, they currently have a record of 38 wins and 15 losses.
"This is not the rhythm of our game. I miss the big guy a little!"
"Stockton passed the ball to Malone, oh! This offense is so impatient!"
The audience at the scene became energetic when they saw Li You taking off his training clothes and preparing to continue playing. Some Chinese fans held up slogans and continued to cheer loudly.
"Perhaps everyone is tired of aesthetics. After all, McQueen has won too many games!"
"I'm used to being looked down upon. How many times have teams in the Western Conference played against the Bulls? They don't know anything, they only know how to look at the data."
In the first round, Van Exel gave the ball to center Campbell at the free throw line after halftime.
After playing the first quarter, Li You changed into his training clothes, ignored the yelling and curses at the scene, and sat on the bench with a calm expression.
After the basketball rebounded, it accurately landed in the hands of Ewing at the elbow on the left side of the free throw line. With no one guarding him, he took a quick look and made an easy jump shot!
On the morning of the 26th, the media in New York and Salt Lake City were already in a quarrel. ESPN and tNt also joined in the fun. Everyone had their own opinions and discussed the ownership of mVp.
Jeff Van Gundy is mainly responsible for chicken soup, occasionally participating in the construction of the defensive system, and most of the rest of the time is mainly about hair care.
If you want to select mVp, you naturally have to look at the two people's head-to-head record.
At this time, Li You, who was sitting on the bench, was communicating with the coaching staff:
"Illegal screen! He definitely committed a foul!"
"Look clearly, my player didn't make any defensive moves at all, he even made a way!"
Although the opponent scored 1 of 5 in the first quarter, he still had to guard against outside shots when defending.
In the last two rounds, Van Exel drove to the basket and once again went to the free throw line.
This game is indeed crucial. If the Jazz are beaten twice, Ewing may still be able to stop Malone with his current record.
Ewing, who is no longer stubborn, is either making jump shots from the left and right elbow areas of the free throw line, or waiting for a pie-eating throw from the left and right near the baseline.
No one can resist the temptation of mVp. At this time, Gorilla just wants to win, and he will accept being a front-runner.
Everyone on the Lakers team was not in a good mood as they walked to the locker room. Kobe just wanted to know why he couldn't play.
"God! Lee's shot was so fast, Stockton didn't even have time to block the shot!"
The basketball accurately fell into the hands of Oakley, who was near the baseline on the left. With no one guarding him, he took aim at the basket and took a mid-range jump shot!
Sean Lukes made two free throws. Before the end of the first half, the Lakers scored 39 points.
It was almost the same offensive choice, but the difference was that Li You's pass was converted into a dunk.
Li You caught the ball from the baseline and took advantage of Van Exel's defense to his side. Li You quietly teased Fan in a low voice, who looked completely different in the first and second half.
Li You, who was holding the ball with his left hand, did not accelerate at full speed at this time. He slowed down his dribbling rhythm and passed the half court with his teammates.
"Such a penalty will ultimately affect the result of the game!"
"Keep the pace of the game like this, John, don't rush to attack after coming on the field!"
Compared with the first match, Li You was more stable in the pick-and-roll tonight and no longer pursued speed. With the cooperation of the Knicks team, he was more threatening without the ball.
With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left in the first half, the score reached 36:36, and the two sides were tied.
Li You, who caused the fans to yell and retreat quickly, gave Ewing a high-five to celebrate.
It was not easy to communicate too much during the game. After Li You briefly expressed his views, he said nothing more.
"oh!!"
After the game started, Karl Malone was extremely active and seemed to regard Ewing as his mVp competitor. Malone frequently made iron-blooded jump shots after the start! Work hard to express yourself.
Jeff Van Gundy always leaves some time for communication with the players. After entering the locker room, he did not talk about how to adjust. He just repeatedly emphasized:
The game time passed quickly, and as the final buzzer sounded, 101:85, the Knicks defeated the Lakers, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being double-killed by their opponents.
In back-to-back games, the coaching staff canceled training sessions. Ewing was sulking in the hotel. Oakley and Starks could only comfort them with kind words...
Li You is different from Kobe. He is already an "All-Star" player. When he returned to the locker room, he showed a serious look and put forward his own opinions:
"Shh!"
The Knicks' offense completely abandoned Ewing's low post, and the Gorilla began to screen more.
Coach Harris brought up George McLeod, hoping that he could help in the offense, but soon Lakers commentator Chick Hearn gave the answer:
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
"Shut up, rookie, stop thinking you're really an All-Star!"
Li You made 7 of 11 shots, 4 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws. He quietly scored 21 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, and 3 turnovers.
Li You and his teammates walked towards the tunnel talking and laughing. The best way to heal after a tragic defeat is to give your opponent a miserable defeat.
As a traditional center with comprehensive skills, Ewing can do both pick-and-roll and support. In many cases, it is just a matter of willingness.
"..."
After the game, Li You, who was trying to catch a fish, watched the gorilla angrily walk towards the players' tunnel, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"How about letting him shoot three-pointers? When he gets to the inside, knock him down, throw him down a few times, and make sure he has no touch at all!"
As the Knicks walked toward the tunnel, the Los Angeles fans, who felt stuttered, booed loudly again.
At 104:95, the Knicks suppressed the Trail Blazers and won back-to-back victories.
Stockton remained expressionless, but looked at Li You for a while longer.
Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines kept clapping his hands to indicate that Li You passed the ball beautifully.
Van Exel on his side did not lose his defensive position, but the Lakers' defense began to shrink again.
With 5 minutes and 48 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Jeff Van Gundy called on Li You to continue playing. As long as they stabilize the rhythm and respond to the ball, they will win tonight.
Malone actively participated in quick kicks, but failed several times. Oakley finally got into trouble with the opponent.
According to the fixed routine, Ewing should have received the ball in the low post on the left at this time, and then the Gorilla would play a post-up single in his favorite position.
At the end of the first quarter, at 24:21, the Knicks led by three points.
The Knicks ball spun in a circle and was still on the outside. The fans at the scene followed suit and booed. After receiving the ball, Li You first feinted with the ball, then released the ball with his left hand, using the cover of "Auntie" to quickly move to the left flank. move.
One relied on his speed and went straight, while the other used the threat of projection and swayed around at a slow pace.
Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines signaled to be steady, and Li You made a tactical gesture, indicating to attack in the low post first.
"A perfect victory! Forget the last game, tonight we played the best offense since consecutive away games!"
The mVp was awarded to the Bulls team with better results. He had nothing to say, but Karl Malone won the award? The gorilla refuses to accept...
Although these are bad ideas, Li You is in a good mood. If he can compromise once, there will definitely be a second time!
Alan Houston also played well in the first quarter and hit consecutive shots in the second half. At this time, he suddenly said with emotion:
"We still have a chance, the boys seem to have found their shooting touch!"
Karl Malone, who was extremely active, immediately let go of Oakley beside him and quickly helped defend. However, Li You, who had just moved to the basket and broke into the paint area, secretly flicked the ball behind his back!
When Larry Johnson received the ball, Ewing also came to the low post on the right side. "Aunt" did not choose to pass the ball high, but returned the ball to Li You in the right corner.
Neither Li You nor Larry Johnson could hold back the bald young coach, and could only watch their head coach blow himself up.
Li You did not play blindly. As long as Ewing cooperated, he frequently played high pick-and-rolls and pulled the opponent's big center Ostadt to the line.
In back-to-back games, the angry gorilla attacked the Trail Blazers insider...
The scene of "turning the tide" will not appear at all. Kobe, who returned to the bench, can only watch the Lakers working hard in depression, secretly writing down this account in his heart, already twice...
If it weren't for the division championship, he wouldn't want to go against the Gorillas so early.
3 of 11, 1 of 7 from beyond the arc, 2 of 3 free throws, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 turnovers. Crazy Fan didn’t go crazy tonight, and his shooting touch was excellent....
There were cheers at the scene, but the referee didn't say anything. Oakley smiled provocatively at Van Exel. Van Exel was almost blown away. He stared at his big eyes and turned to complain loudly to the referee:
In Li You's view, it is outrageous to require every attack to pass through Ewing's hands first.
Leaving the baseline position, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly quickly in and out on the left wing, swaying right and left, suddenly accelerating, and went straight inside.
Soon the protagonists on the court became Stockton and Li You. The two were responsible for passing the ball. Whether they can score easily depends on how the point guard handles the ball.
Starks, who came on the rotation, seized the opportunity and caused a foul on Kobe's hitter during the counterattack.
The Jazz fans' defensive cheers became louder and louder, trying to use loud noise to interfere with the Knicks' offense.
"Oh! I take back what I said before, we are still forging iron!"
On the night of the 26th, assistant coach Don Chaney replaced Van Gundy and hung up on the sidelines.
On the defensive end, Li You could clearly feel that Van Exel's aggressiveness was decreasing, and the Lakers shifted their offensive tasks to Eddie Jones.
With 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the second quarter, 46:37, the Lakers' offense was still stretched.
"When he goes for a layup, give him two hits, foul him in advance, and don't let him pass the ball!"
The atmosphere team also came up with ideas. In these two games, it was difficult to defend on the line. Gary Payton and Van Exel were difficult to restrict:
51:40, the Great Western Forum Arena was a little quiet. This game was not good to watch.
Starks also knew the importance of this game, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
Just as he was squeezing through the screen, Van Exel was pushed on the thigh by the old guy, and he suddenly lost his defensive position. Li You shook off the defense and came to the right wing. After an emergency stop outside the three-point line, he quickly made a jump shot.
Played 39 minutes, 5 of 12, 2 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. Li You once again posted a double-double.
"Pat! Beautiful pass!"
In the live commentary box, Chick Hearn rarely showed excitement. In tonight's game, the Lakers rarely even scored in sports games.
Watching the gorilla giving a passionate speech in the locker room, Li You also joined everyone in flattering him:
"Li, after you come on stage, do the finishing work!"
"Aesthetic fatigue? What is that? Are these things still talked about in basketball games? Li, don't be fooled by those unscrupulous media, they will vote obediently when the time comes!"
This penalty completely angered everyone on the Knicks team. Jeff Van Gundy made a "Fake" noise and was directly expelled from the game...
Knight noticed that Li You had lowered his center of gravity so low that he was almost flying close to the ground. He quickly slid to the right and rear in an attempt to delay.
At the end of the game, Charles Oakley angrily criticized Karl Malone, and the two started a fierce war of words:
It was not Ewing's intention to take advantage of the situation. After all, he was facing a new player tonight.
Injuries have slowed down his movements, which is why the Lakers can always help defend Ewing.
After the main lineup returned to the field, Li You was not in a hurry and still steadily controlled the Knicks' offensive rhythm. Ewing also fully cooperated.
Larry Johnson said nothing on the sidelines. He has almost become the team's fourth shooting point. This award is not his turn. "Auntie" is out of date...
I thought the head coach would give him some more time, but less than 3 minutes into the game, the rookie Kobe was substituted again.
But the Heat have too much stamina. If they lose this award at the end of the regular season, Li You may not be able to get [talent] this season.
After returning to the locker room, Ewing also clapped his hands and encouraged everyone loudly:
"It's this kind of offense again, our guys are always cheated! Lee gave a nice assist."
Without much rest time, the Knicks flew to Portland overnight to challenge the Trail Blazers back-to-back tomorrow night.
"If we continue to play like this, Ewing's usage rate will drop and he will become a forward. He will no longer want mVp..."
In the second quarter of the game, the Jazz's Hornacek suddenly broke out, and Malone, who regained his composure, stopped shooting wildly. The Jazz's offense became smoother and smoother.
Li You, who was standing outside the three-point line, gave Oakley a thumbs up. It was difficult for him to limit Van Exel's breakthrough.
At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 76:61, and the Great Western Forum Arena was completely silent.
After returning to the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy, who blew himself up, felt a little regretful and was suspended for one game...
In the right corner, Li You received a pass from Ewing, feinted past Stockton, and used the time difference to twist and make a jump shot. Commentator Rod Hunter was already confused. Can this also go in?
Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, saw the look in Oakley's eyes, lowered his center of gravity neatly, and went directly to the right to break through.
At 48:39, the score difference returned to 9 points.
In Li You's view, the opponent's inside line will always over-defend, and there is no need to stick to the low post. As long as he can break through to the paint area, it is the simplest and most efficient way for the inside line to take advantage of the situation.
Patrick Ewing and Oakley applauded vigorously, and the atmosphere team also cheered. Li You smiled and patted his chest to express that he had received encouragement.
Ignoring the boos and yells at the scene, Oakley pointed to Malone's feet and indicated that he could do the jumper job.
Alan Houston took advantage of the gorilla not paying attention and patted Li You gratefully. He made 4 of 7 shots in a single quarter and 2 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. In the third quarter, he became the main offensive point of the Knicks.
As the score between the two sides slowly increased, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines became more and more excited, Malone struck, and the Knicks gradually suppressed the Jazz.
Throwing the thick chicken soup out for free, Li You felt that this bald man had a hand in mud!
Eddie Jones hurriedly defended and did not give him a chance to catch the ball. Oakley raised the ball and finally swung the ball to the right wing beyond the three-point line.
"..."
Oakley doesn't care about this. Van Exel frequently broke through to the inside tonight. He has long been impatient. He must retaliate without affecting the outcome.
Jeff Van Gundy was the first to return to the locker room. When the players all sat back in their seats, he immediately said loudly:
"George Karl devised tactics that look like shit!"
When buying tickets to watch the game, most of them like to watch the flashy offense. Van Exel and Li You have relatively flashy playing styles. The fans did not expect that the two played against each other and eventually turned into mutual hostility.
By the end of the season, the mVp award has become the focus of attention. The reason why Ewing likes low post singles is also related to the team's record.
Stockton began to speed up the Jazz's offensive rhythm, trying to get Malone to take more shots.
The gorillas really wanted to win this game, and they started to cooperate with their full strength...
Knight worked hard to defend, but was still stuck behind him. Li You, who came to the left wing outside the three-point line, quickly threw the ball to Ewing without making any unnecessary moves.
"This is definitely not a good sign. The Knicks seem to have found their offensive rhythm!"
“We really won’t be able to see you in Salt Lake City this season!”
Although the Knicks' offense was not fast, the score increased sharply!
Commentator Chick Hearn's voice revealed regret. It was not a good sign to be overtaken by his opponent at the end of the regular season.
Van Exel's beautiful pass finally turned into a free throw. Lakers fans who like to watch performances were very dissatisfied. The Great Western Forum Arena was booed for a while.
In the locker room before the game, Charles Oakley was very disgusted with the media's hype that Malone would win MVP:
If he didn't take the initiative to express his opinions in midfield, Van Gundy would definitely not say this:
Taking advantage of Li You to attract the defensive attention, he ran towards the right corner. Alan Houston at the top of the arc quickly stepped forward and pretended to hand over the ball.
Looking back, Li You hit the ground pass and found "Auntie" who ran back along the baseline and cut in. Knight also sent Larry Johnson to the free throw line.
12 of 27 and 9 of 12 free throws. Malone ended up with a double-double of 33 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in this crucial game;
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
Both men made one of two free throws, making the score in the first half fixed at 49:40.
An excellent dunk opportunity, but the quality of the pass was not high. Knight was forced to adjust after receiving the ball, and when he tried to get up to the basket, he was directly pressed down by Ewing!
The boss complained about the media, and everyone could only flatter him:
"Think about the schedule in March, one day off, then back home, and then two more games."
Alan Houston relied on Ewing's lower screen and quickly bounced out from the right side of the baseline. As soon as he reached the right elbow of the free throw line, he received a pass from Li You.
"Shhh!!"
When retreating from defense, Malone couldn't help but wave his hand, but he couldn't make the shot!
He sat quietly on the bench throughout the game, showing the demeanor of a famous coach.
At the end of the half, Li You made 4 of 7 shots and 3 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, scoring a team-high 11 points.
Jeff Van Gundy kept shouting on the sidelines to remind his players to retreat. As long as the offense was strong, Stockton quickly advanced the transition attack.
This performance also discounted Ewing's data.
Pointing at the referee and yelling, Jeff Van Gundy was finally pulled back to the bench by the coaching staff.
The referee made a final balance whistle and called a foul on Li You for holding hands...
The 2.18 meter Ostertag failed to lower his center of gravity in time and could only watch the basketball pass in front of him, while Li You exerted force on his feet and jumped forward fiercely, squeezing between the two big men.
Van Exel made 3 of 8 in the half, 1 of 5 from behind the three-point line, 1 of 2 free throws, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 turnover.
Van Exel also reminded the newbie that he was not out of position. Ewing and Li You celebrated with a high-five after completing the iron-blooded jump shot. Everyone's goal was to expand the point difference to double digits first...
This data is not pretty, and the perception on the court does not have much advantage, giving people the illusion that "I can do it even if I play."
"Defense! defense! defense!"
"Man, a good point guard needs to take control of the game!"
"..."
"Don't let me see you in New York!"
"I can do it!" After Kobe came on the court, he didn't show any mercy. He hit the left and right elbow areas for two consecutive rounds.
Li You shrugged helplessly. He also could not change the referee's decision.
"Shhh!!"
"You can try the middle distance first. I've almost found the feel!"
"Nick's passing was great, but the boys had a hard time finishing at the basket!"
"Hold on, leave the rebound to me, we must win this game!"
Observing the position of his teammates from the air, Li You grabbed the ball with his left hand, faked a real pass, and passed the ball to Ewing in the lower right corner of the basket. The latter caught the ball and directly made a one-arm dunk!
Lakers fans didn't care about this. When the home team players left the field, they cheered as usual.
Li You raised his right arm expressionlessly and raised three fingers to the Jazz fans in the front row.
After Li You rushed up against the defense in three strides, he was also surrounded by three people in the paint area.
The Heat also lost a game. According to this trend, the competition between the two sides will continue until April.
Under high-quality cover, Van Exel, who made the wrong defensive choice, was delayed and immediately fell half a body behind Li You.
"The American sports media knows nothing about NBA, so they should let the players vote for mVp!"
But in this attack, Li You stopped on the left wing outside the three-point line, and Ewing immediately stepped forward and made a high pick-and-roll.
Charles Oakley was the first to speak out. He doesn't care about winning. In his opinion, as long as Ewing still enjoys the privilege of being the boss and his data does not shrink, it is fine.
Travis Knight was responsible for marking Ewing. Facing the newbie, Gorilla didn't bother to do a cross screen and directly blocked the position in the low post on the left side.
The Gorillas made 4 of 9 in the first half, 6 of 10 in the second half after a fierce jumper, and 10 of 19 in the game, with 25 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers.
