On June 7, 2000, outside the Staples Center, before entering the arena, some fans dressed as Lakers fans spontaneously shouted:
"Show time!"
"The first finals in 9 years!"
Tickets for the game are sold out early, but these shouts can still attract some fans. Even people who don't follow the NBA may ask about it at this time.
Some people are selling second-hand high-priced tickets, while more are die-hard Lakers fans expressing their pride.
For the young stars in Los Angeles, the Lakers' ability to reach the Finals also adds an exposure channel for themselves. It's not a bad idea to buy a high-priced ticket and show their face in front of the camera.
In short, G1 of the finals on the night of the 7th has turned into a grand party in Los Angeles.
Unlike the Knicks, who had been dormant for decades and then won the championship, it has only been a few years since Magic Johnson officially retired, and the team has risen again very quickly.
The "NBA Finals Game" logo appeared in Staples Arena for the first time, which was also a milestone moment for the relocated Lakers.
Although there are some ups and downs in the playoffs, as long as we can reach the finals, the process is no longer important. The entire Lakers team is enjoying this moment.
NBC, as the broadcaster of the Finals, also broadcast the pre-game interview with the Lakers before the game started.
The young Kobe looked particularly excited in front of the camera. This was because he was participating in the finals for the first time, and also because he was chasing the stars of his generation:
“This year’s playoff journey has really brought us together, and it feels great to reach the finals!”
“Seeing these signs for the finals, I can’t wait to start competing!”
"."
There is only more than two days of rest time, which is a little tight for everyone on the Lakers. Fortunately, it is a home game, so there is no need to consider the fatigue of the journey.
The game kicked off at 19:30 in the evening, and NBC staff entered the arena earlier than usual.
Bob Costas and Doug Collins were dressed in black formal suits. They sat on high stools on the sidelines and discussed loudly in front of the camera to warm up for tonight's game:
"The Finals experience of head coach Phil Jackson and Ron Harper is very important. They know how to win!"
"Except for Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' starting five all have rich game experience."
"Although many people on the team are playing in the finals for the first time, the veterans can stabilize the locker room. They have all the conditions for a championship."
Doug Collins praised the Lakers in front of the camera. Bob Costas did not expect that his old partner would become a loser after entering the finals:
"The Knicks got more than a week to rest. They flew to Los Angeles on the afternoon of the 5th. Judging from the training situation in the past few days, everyone is very relaxed."
"Having reached the Finals for three consecutive years, the Knicks also have rich experience in the Finals. They have a chance to win three consecutive championships."
"We can see from the interview that Lee is in excellent physical condition. He is obviously ready. Tonight is also a duel between MVPs!"
The two bragged on the spot, and in the studio behind NBC, host Hannah Storm and guests Isiah Thomas and Bill Walton began to predict the outcome of the game.
After the white female host, one black and one white, briefly introduced the playoff records of the two teams in the finals, Bill Walton said loudly in an exaggerated tone:
"No one can stop O'Neal. This season, Shaq has shown unparalleled dominance!"
"Faced with the Trail Blazers' four-man siege, he can still put the ball into the basket. There is no doubt that the Lakers playing at home will win this game."
Isya Thomas smiled and waited for the other party to finish speaking, and said in a brisk tone:
"In the tiebreaker, I didn't see O'Neal's dominance. This is a basketball game. If you want to score, you have to put the ball into the basket."
"Outside players are no different from inside big men. Tonight is also a huge test for O'Neal. There are no MVP-level guards like Lee in the Western Conference!"
"Remind me again, throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs, Lee shot 51.5% from the field and his true shooting percentage was as high as 64.9%!"
"The data cannot fully reflect his impact on the offensive end. Kobe Bryant cannot limit him. The Knicks will kill the game with pick-and-rolls!"
Excel was caught off guard and left Bill Walton speechless. Most inside players couldn't achieve such a true shooting percentage.
In order to avoid the silence, host Hannah immediately took over the conversation again with a smile:
"The duel between MVPs will definitely be an exciting game tonight!"
"."
Before the game started, everyone in the Knicks team gathered in a circle in the tunnel. They had to encourage themselves when playing away games.
Although Li You brags in front of the media, he still knows the strength of the team:
"Rebounds, three-pointers, a road win!"
"Show some color to the sissies across from you!"
Li You raised his right fist, everyone folded their arms together, and the big man Todd from the atmosphere team shouted loudly:
"W-vomit-shred!"
As everyone in the Knicks team shouted "Win!" and then quickly ran out of the tunnel, bursts of boos immediately came to their ears.
After the DJ called out his name, the director's camera kept focusing on Li You.
Although the away game was played first, Li You could not see any nervousness in front of the camera.
Newcomers Artest and Lewis looked serious and clapped their hands, looking particularly excited. The coaching staff has informed them that they will have more playing time in the finals.
Jeff Van Gundy and the coaching staff sat on the bench without moving. Everyone was chewing gum and didn't even need chicken soup before the game.
Ewing is the happiest. Regardless of whether he can defend his opponents, the increase in playing time shows that he has also contributed to the championship. Compared with last year's championship, the situation this year is much better.
The gorilla appeared with a serious look on his face. He first high-fived everyone, and then began to move his body seriously, appearing particularly engaged.
Entering the finals again after 9 years, more than 18,000 fans present cheered throughout the arena as soon as the home team players came on the stage.
Many fans are still immersed in the tiebreaker two days ago, and naturally their emotions are high at this time.
When the lights came back on, Bob Costas quickly introduced the Knicks' starting lineup in the NBC commentary box:
"Head coach Van Gundy has continued the previous lineup. It seems that the coaching staff is very confident in the starting five!"
"Lee, Alan Houston, and Larry Johnson all performed well in the playoffs, and the Lakers' perimeter defense faced a huge test."
"Head coach Phil Jackson also didn't make any adjustments to the starting lineup."
"The backcourt is still Ron Harper and Kobe Bryant, and the frontcourt is Glenn Rice, AC Green, and Shaquille O'Neal."
"The Trail Blazers were reversed in the seventh game, and the Lakers are currently in good shape!"
Doug Collins, a casual guy, suddenly changed his tune when he saw Li You greeting veterans Harper and Phil Jackson with a smile:
"If the Lakers don't change their defensive strategy, it will be difficult for them to limit Lee's performance!"
"."
Phil Jackson disliked this Knicks team very much, and the 1998 defeat is still fresh in his mind.
The final warm-up period was coming to an end, and Phil Jackson, holding the tactical board, greeted the players again:
"Energy! We need to release our energy at the beginning! We must protect the home court and listen to the voices of the fans. We cannot let them down!"
Everyone nodded, and O'Neill also suppressed the smile on his face.
When O'Neal and Ewing stood in the center circle, the cheers became louder and louder:
"Wow!"
Pushing the ball toward his own half, O'Neal successfully jumped to the ball. Harper looked at Li You, who was leading the defense, and gave the ball directly to Kobe on the side.
Harper stopped doing the job of dribbling the ball across half court. When the two of them ran to half court, Li You couldn't help but joked:
"Man, are you still going to guard me this year? I love playing against you."
"."
Leaving Li You with the back of his head, Harper turned around and accelerated, running directly to the right corner.
The person responsible for defending Kobe is Alan Houston. In the Knicks' defensive system, everyone has to reduce the burden on Li You, which is essentially "four guarantees and one".
In the first defensive round, the Knicks were very small.
Although zone defense was not allowed, everyone stood within the three-point line. Oakley even let go of AC Green and kept pacing with his eyes on O'Neal on the left side.
In order to prevent O'Neal from being double-teamed too much, when Kobe held the ball on the left wing, everyone on the Lakers opened up in sequence.
Glenn Rice ran across half court and stopped on the right wing, AC Green stood near the right block, and Harper squatted in the right corner.
Alan Houston and Ewing pressed at the same time. The former prevented Kobe from passing the ball easily, and the latter tried his best to push O'Neal out.
There was no good passing opportunity, and Kobe was not in a hurry. Instead, he passed the ball to Glenn Rice, who was left one step open.
Larry Johnson just raised his right hand symbolically and moved up a small step to give the opponent room to shoot.
After catching the ball, Glenn Rice noticed that Larry Johnson didn't move at all. He hesitated and shot a jumper directly from outside the three-point line!
"state!"
The basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high. The Knicks immediately got stuck and retreated. In the end, Li You easily protected the backboard at the lower right side of the basket.
After failing to hit a shot in the first round, the Los Angeles fans who stood up to watch the ball sighed regretfully, and then continued to shout loudly:
"Defense!."
After Li You collected the rebound, everyone in the Knicks team quickly ran towards the opponent's half.
Facing Kobe's leading defense, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, accelerated directly, hung up on the defense, slapped the opponent's arm with his ball protector, and rushed through the half court.
There was an emergency stop at the top of the arc, and Li You quickly dribbled the ball behind his back. At this time, everyone on the Knicks team also spread out, and launched a "V"-shaped attack in the first round.
At the left elbow, Ewing didn't need Li You to greet him. He noticed that his teammate was already in the corner, and the gorilla immediately moved to the top of the key to perform a high pick-and-roll.
Kobe was also well prepared, adjusted his body's center of gravity, and took the initiative to defend again, ready to squeeze through the screen at any time.
Li You, who switched to his right hand, first went in and out very quickly. His body shook quickly and then his hips suddenly changed direction. While Ewing was standing still, Li You, who switched to his left hand, broke through with shoulder pressure.
The center of gravity was extremely low. Li You almost got into the arms of Kobe who was moving to defend. After the two bodies collided, Kobe was immediately hit and almost lost his center of gravity.
Just as he was about to pull, Kobe found himself bumping into Ewing.
Gorilla's high-quality screen, coupled with Li You's "seamless" ball handling, instantly got rid of Kobe's pursuit.
Kobe, who failed to squeeze through the screen, could clearly hear the sound of the basketball falling to the floor. Knowing that Li You increased his dribbling force, he felt like he was going to be hit.
The moment he got rid of the defense, he adjusted his steps. Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, stopped suddenly at the top of the arc. With no one in front of him, he quickly made a jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
"Shh!"
The Lakers fans at the scene couldn't bear to see this situation. It was too easy to score, and they subconsciously booed Li You.
From getting rid of the defense to completing the jump shot, Li You was extremely fast, and O'Neal still stayed in the paint area.
Perhaps because they wanted to see Li You's shooting touch, the Sharks seemed lazy in the first round.
As a perimeter defensive tool, Kobe will naturally not complain to O'Neal. In the Lakers' system, everyone is also reducing O'Neal's burden.
In the Lakers' offensive round, using the same tactic, O'Neal and AC Green made a cross-cover in the paint area this time.
Taking advantage of the Knicks' renewed defensive confrontation, O'Neal successfully received a pass from Kobe Bryant on the left low post.
The moment he caught the ball, Ewing defended, and Oakley let go of AC Green, double-teaming O'Neal from the top line.
Putting the ball with his right hand, O'Neal quickly hit the ball, hit the basket, and then suddenly turned towards the baseline, shaking, and instantly got rid of the two defenders.
Despite Ewing's block, O'Neal's left-hand throw still passed over his fingertips and landed accurately in the basket.
O'Neal, who completed the goal, also smiled proudly. Although he looked fat, his movement speed was much faster than that of a gorilla. He was frequently double-teamed. He had long been accustomed to such defense.
Seeing that the shark was still unstoppable, the Lakers fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.
O'Neal, who retreated with a smile, soon lost his complacency. The Knicks played the same tactics, but this time Li You changed the direction.
In the right elbow area, Ewing quickly moved to the right wing and picked and rolled again.
Kobe, who led the entire defense, quickly squeezed through the screen this time and continued to pursue Li You's left side, desperately engaging in physical confrontation.
Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, used his ball protector to swat away the interfering arm, leaned forward to accelerate, and then suddenly made a large cross-step and pulled back.
The moment he switched to his left hand, Li You moved laterally. Ewing, who had just pretended to pass down the pick-and-roll, stood still for the second time and firmly blocked Kobe.
On the defensive end, O'Neal was a little hesitant. Compared to the previous round, he had moved up.
With no one to defend him, Li You, who returned to the three-point line, immediately stepped back laterally, quickly combined the ball, and made a quick jump shot from the right wing!
"Whoa!" Another three-pointer was scored.
"This is the top ball handler! If you want to limit Lee, the entire Lakers team needs to defend."
"O'Neal must come up late. He needs to defend like a big man in the Eastern Conference. Faced with this kind of open opportunity, Lee will be extremely efficient!"
Doug Collins suddenly excitedly praised Li You's performance loudly, "That's not what I said before the game." Bob Costas complained in his heart and quickly followed suit:
"The Lakers should adjust their defensive strategy soon. Coach Phil Jackson has already made tactical gestures."
Looking at Li You who raised his right arm and put up three fingers with a smile to retreat, Phil Jackson on the sidelines did not forget to remind him loudly after making gestures:
"Shaq! Delay!"
The Lakers took the initiative to speed up the offensive tempo. Kobe, who was advancing with the ball in his right hand, came to the right wing. Instead of passing the ball, he broke through to the right near the baseline against the defense.
The Lakers quickly pulled away. Facing Alan Houston's defense, Kobe held the ball in his right hand and continued to hit it, and then immediately turned toward the baseline.
Alan Houston had already predicted this offensive choice and jumped to block the shot.
Although he couldn't completely shake off the defense, Kobe twisted his body and did a super fallback. At the same time, he raised the arc and forced a jump shot!
"Whoa!" The two-point ball hit the net.
It was a difficult goal and the action was very beautiful, causing the fans in the front row to cheer. Kobe did not retreat from the defense, but chose to stay in the half court and continue to lead the defense.
Unable to complete the defense, Alan Houston smiled and waited for his whereabouts by hovering in the air. Kobe's offense was affected by him. This was considered positive feedback.
After sending the baseline ball, Li You also suddenly accelerated the offensive rhythm and rushed against Kobe who was leading the defense.
Before his teammates were fully positioned and far away from the three-point line, Ewing noticed that Li You had already crossed the half court, so he simply stood still and raised his cover position.
Kobe's attention was all on Li You. The two had just been entangled for half the game. Faced with Li You's quick behind-the-back dribbling, Kobe immediately blocked his right hand.
Li You, who reacted extremely quickly, instantly completed the change of direction in front of his body, shook off the defense, and immediately accelerated after switching to his left hand.
Kobe, who was not completely out of position, quickly turned around to catch up, but turned around and ran into Ewing's arms.
O'Neal retreated to the free throw line, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Li You making an emergency stop at the top of the key.
Hurrying to move, O'Neal really wanted to delay the move in this round, but it was too late. Faced with such a good opportunity, he half-converted to a three-pointer, and Li You quickly made a jump shot after combining the ball!
"God! Lee hit a three-pointer again, and the Knicks scored so easily!"
Bob Costas exclaimed, while Doug Collins was stunned and just threw it away when he had the chance.
9:4, there are not many rounds, and the Knicks are already leading by 5 points.
On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere team cheered. Everyone firmly believed that with this kind of defensive intensity, Li You would soon be able to teach the opponent a lesson.
After being hit with consecutive three-pointers, the Lakers' game rhythm suddenly became a bit chaotic. Kobe continued to accelerate, and O'Neal raised the screen from the right elbow area.
Ewing was guarding the basket, and Alan Houston squeezed through the screen to pursue Kobe. Before a double-team could form, Kobe returned the ball to O'Neal.
There was a problem with the pick-and-roll timing. He caught the ball in the right elbow area. O'Neal's offensive threat at this position was greatly reduced. Ewing suddenly made a move, and Alan Houston also came up to defend.
Faced with a quick attack between the two, O'Neal did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he released the ball with his left hand and turned around quickly, squeezing through the two.
Finally, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and O'Neal completed the throw away from the basket!
"state!"
The basketball hit the front, and O'Neal wanted to continue rushing for the offensive rebound, but the rebound was protected in time by Larry Johnson who shrank to the basket.
Before Harper could react, Li You beside him had already accelerated towards the half court.
Seeing Larry Johnson throw the ball again, Harper cursed secretly and then chased after him desperately.
Just after crossing the midline, Li You grabbed the ball with his right hand and continued to accelerate facing Harper who was chasing him with the ball in his right hand.
On the other side, Kobe took advantage of Li You's slight slowdown, rushed forward, and retreated quickly.
Seeing Li You against Harper's defense, he took three long steps to rush for a layup. Kobe, who quickly returned to the half court defense, also took off in the paint area, leaping high, trying to complete the block.
Li You, who was in the air, naturally noticed Kobe's help in defense. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and suddenly swung his raised right arm downwards. Under the cover of the two men, he faked a real pass and swung the ball behind his back in the air.
"oh!"
The beautiful pass made many Lakers fans exclaim.
The left wing cut into the basket and quickly followed up without any defender. After receiving the ball, Alan Houston easily picked up the basket with his left hand and succeeded!
"Shh!"
At 11:4, amid the boos from the fans, Phil Jackson looked serious and immediately requested a timeout.
Glenn Rice, who had just retreated to the top position of the key, could only walk to the bench depressedly. He was not a tool man and had no sense of presence in these few minutes.
Alan Houston smiled and celebrated with Li Youzhang. The more opportunities to score easily, the better.
"Coach Phil Jackson's timeout was very timely. The rhythm of the game cannot be messed up. Not to mention the defensive end, O'Neal needs to go deeper to gain position on the offensive end."
"The Lakers need his offense!"
Doug Collins didn't expect that the Lakers would be blindsided by a shot after the opening. Li You gave the opportunity and scored, which was completely different from the guard style of the Western Conference.
Bob Costas did not comment too much on the game, but just reminded him:
"Two home games are very important to the Lakers. Once they lose a home victory, they will lose the initiative."
There was no room for failure at home. On the bench, Phil Jackson loudly encouraged:
"Energy! Like I said before the game, match your opponent's energy."
"Attack the basket and give the ball inside, showing our desire to win!"
O'Neal replenished his water with a depressed look. Once there is a big delay on the defensive end, it will also be a test for his physical fitness.
After the timeout, the pace of the game slowed down again. The Lakers had to work hard to get the ball to O'Neal in every round.
In addition, O'Neal would always encounter Oakley's double-team after catching the ball. Although he succeeded in the basket against the two defenders in two rounds, there were several times where it was almost 24 seconds.
Due to O'Neal's big delay, the Knicks' pick-and-roll position changed.
When Li You accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, he attracted Kobe's pursuit and O'Neal's assistance.
Coming to the left blocking area, he quickly returned the ball to Ewing in the left elbow area. After receiving Li You's ground pass, the gorilla took aim at the free throw line for a while, and then made a steady jump shot!
"state!"
Regrettably, Ewing punched in frustration. After a few rounds, his open jump shot was just like the opposite AC Green, which was iron.
The Lakers' offense became slower and slower. O'Neal fiddled with the baseline a few times before receiving Harper's pass in the low post on the right.
Ewing did not commit a foul, but just blocked the bottom line behind him. Oakley immediately stepped forward to double-team and block the top line.
When the two were surrounded, O'Neal, who was holding the ball in his left hand and relying on the ball, wanted to turn towards the baseline and complete the throw. As a result, Oakley decisively chose to foul the hitter.
Standing at the free throw line again, the atmosphere at Staples Center suddenly cooled down.
At this time, there were 4 minutes and 51 seconds left in the first quarter. Oakley, who committed a foul, seemed not to care about O'Neal's free throw. Instead, he mocked confidently:
"I still have a lot of fouls I can use. Trust me, you can't make any free throws!"
Jeff Van Gundy, who had been hanging up, suddenly stood up and complained to the referee with Li You that O'Neal's free throw timed out.
O'Neal, who was looking focused, was in no mood to talk to Oakley. He walked to the free throw line and kept making shooting gestures. Even though he made the first free throw, he missed the second one.
The rebound was protected by Ewing, and several rounds of physical confrontation left the gorilla gasping for air.
He didn't get many opportunities on the offensive end. Kobe could only work hard on the defensive end and pursue the defense even harder.
It's just that the Knicks have changed their offensive routine in these few minutes. After tossing O'Neal in the pick-and-roll, Li You usually hands the ball to Alan Houston or Larry Johnson in the low post.
The two were in good condition and were more active on the offensive end. Ewing was also picking and rolling on the left wing, and Kobe squeezed through the screen to chase Li You.
Kobe continued to provide physical confrontation from his side. Facing O'Neal's big delay, Li You pushed the ball to change direction in advance and quickly moved sideways to the free throw line.
Attracting the defensive attention of the two, Li You, who came to the free throw line and switched to his right hand to hold the ball, suddenly paused. Kobe came up to defend again, and Li You leaned on his opponent and suddenly accelerated to break through.
O'Neal had been sliding. When he saw Li You rushing towards the basket, he strode back to defend with all his strength!
Three people huddled together in the paint area, and the Lakers' defense also began to shrink. Li You took this opportunity to send another behind-the-back pass.
Ewing, who was slowly moving forward, was unguarded in front of him at this time. He was directly in front of the basket in the paint area and succeeded in making a throw!
After getting the goal in the open game, the gorilla burst into laughter, while O'Neal stopped at the basket with a face on his face. He noticed that it was difficult for everyone on the Lakers to predict Li You's offensive choices.
At 23:14, the Lakers fans at the scene noticed that they seemed to have lost their offensive rhythm.
Li You was replaced with 1 minute and 29 seconds left in the first quarter, and the Knicks rotated step by step.
After O'Neal encountered the inside combination of Kurt and Ben Wallace, he reached the basket in one round and dunked hard with both hands. In the next round, O'Neal was directly fouled by Kurt.
Jeff Van Gundy walked to the sidelines and shouted encouragement. O'Neal made another two free throws, causing another cheer from the Knicks bench.
Chris Childs and Kukic continued to score points after picking and rolling, AC Green hit a jumper and Harper also stood on the free throw line.
It wasn't until Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer at the end of the first quarter that the point difference didn't become double digits.
29:20, Staples Arena, the enthusiasm of Lakers fans has largely subsided.
After playing the first quarter, O'Neal made 4 of 6 and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 10 points with sweat on his forehead and walked to the bench with an expressionless face.
Kobe, who scored 5 points on 2 of 4, also pursed his lips and glanced at the scoreboard seriously.
Phil Jackson didn't blame AC Green, Glenn Rice, and Harper for their poor jump shots. The team took 19 shots and there was no problem with the rhythm.
The cheers in Staples Center gradually turned into a cacophony of noise.
In the NBC commentary box, Doug Collins noticed that Li You stood up again and seemed to be planning to appear directly in the second quarter. For a moment, he could only sigh:
"Coach Van Gundy was fully prepared for tonight's game, and Lee's performance was perfect."
4 of 6, 3 of 4 from beyond the arc, 11 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Driven by Li You, the Knicks took 20 shots in the first quarter and the rhythm was just right.
Bob Costas noticed that the Lakers seemed to have only replaced Harper and AC Green, and could only comment:
"Coach Phil Jackson was very cautious about this game."
The first quarter of the game was a bit dull. In the second half of the first quarter, the Knicks had a lot of singles, but the Lakers had difficulty catching the ball with O'Neal.
"Defense!."
Under the leadership of the on-site DJ, after the start of the second quarter, the defensive shouts resounded throughout the arena again.
Artest opened the baseline and after Li You caught the ball, Fisher led the defense.
At this time, the Knicks' frontcourt became Kukqi, Kurt Thomas, and Ben Wallace.
The opposite Lakers also made a large-scale rotation, with Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, and Robert Horry coming on the scene, and O'Neal took the lead.
After Lee passed halftime and noticed the Knicks clearing the left wing, Fisher began to get nervous.
Subconsciously pulling up his shorts and pressing his right forearm against Li You, Fisher lowered his center of gravity and tried to defend effectively.
Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand and had been protecting the ball sideways, suddenly exploded the ball on the spot, then suddenly leaned forward to accelerate, and the two bodies collided at the three-point line.
Li You stopped suddenly, twisted slightly backwards, and then leaned forward again to speed up.
After a sudden stop and start, Fisher was easily squeezed past by Li You.
O'Neal under the basket cursed secretly, moved quickly, raised his right hand high, and immediately assisted in defense.
Shark held back his strength and tried to knock Li You off the baseline with his body. As a result, their bodies collided, and Li You just leaned back slightly.
If it were another defender, he would most likely be pushed out of the baseline. O'Neal almost stopped in surprise.
Li You took the opportunity to use his ball protector to get out of O'Neal's arms and quickly cut to the basket along the baseline.
Quickly taking steps, O'Neal raised his right hand and pursued to the right side near the baseline. Unexpectedly, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly turned around deftly and slipped through the baseline again.
"oh!"
O'Neal completely lost his defensive position, and the Lakers fans also exclaimed. At this time, Li You, who switched to his right hand and slid down the baseline, quickly came to the lower left side of the basket, shook off the defense and turned back for a layup!
Bob Costas looked at the Lakers players who had shrunk to defend inside and all stood there stupidly. He subconsciously shouted excitedly:
"Beautiful goal! Li passed the Lakers' entire defense and turned around in a small space. His unparalleled control skills!"
Seeing Li You secretly wagging his finger at him when he retreated, O'Neal was so angry that his eyes widened, and he turned around and glared at Fisher, who had just acted as the atmosphere team.
At 31:20, the score difference reached double digits again.
When the Lakers attacked, an angry O'Neal first asked for the ball in the low post on the left side. Ben Wallace even pulled and pulled around the front defense to no avail.
Although Felscher failed to pass the ball at the first time, when O'Neal turned around deftly and reached the low post on the left, Brian Shaw, who received the cross pass, immediately lobbed the ball inside.
Before Ben Wallace could get into a defensive position, the Shark immediately exploded after releasing the ball. He hit a two-handed dunk across "Little Ben"!
"ah!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, O'Neal roared loudly and completely vented his depression in the first quarter, and then gave himself two more blows before standing on the free throw line.
The brutal dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the Staples Center Arena, and the Lakers fans shouted excitedly:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Amid the shouts, O'Neal made a penalty kick that made the Shark curse inwardly and quickly retreat.
Ben Wallace was particularly depressed. He couldn't defend him at all. He couldn't resist it and immediately used the tactical gestures agreed upon before the game.
When Fisher led the defense, he also signaled his teammates to double-team with him.
Just after halftime, Li You immediately gave the ball to Kukqi at the left elbow.
Li You moved laterally, swayed his body to the right and then suddenly accelerated and ran back, rushing towards the left corner.
Kukchi immediately threw the ball, and Felscher desperately pursued the defense. Li You received the ball in the left corner and feinted, and then quickly made a large test step to the left with his left foot.
Fisher, who was chasing after him, made excellent defensive predictions and did not jump around. Li You just took a tentative step and suddenly released the ball, squeezing through the defense again and speeding up the breakthrough along the baseline.
O'Neal under the basket once again moved to help defend, but when he reached the left side near the baseline, Li You suddenly pulled his hips back, shaking greatly, and Fisher on his side completely lost his defensive position.
Ignoring the opponent's jumping defense, Li You quickly made a jump shot after combining the ball!
"Whoa!" A steady hit from mid-range.
"Shh!"
The more beautiful the action, the more it will arouse boos from the fans at the scene. Seeing Fisher acting as a defensive atmosphere team again, Phil Jackson hesitated, but still did not make a substitution.
The trust was repaid, but when O'Neal once again caught the ball in the low post on the right side, everyone on the Knicks team retreated, and everyone was ready to pounce on the shark.
Quickly passed the ball to Fisher on the right wing. The quality of O'Neal's pass was not high, but the "little fish" shot resolutely. Facing Li You's blocking shot, the three-pointer raised the arc and hit it accurately. basket!
At 33:25, the score difference was narrowed again.
As Kukic made a three-pointer from the right wing after the pick-and-roll, O'Neal, who fell into a positional attack, attracted a double-team in the low post on the left and once again distributed the ball to Rick Fox at the top of the key.
After the latter feinted after catching the ball, he got rid of Artest's defense and successfully hit a two-pointer from the top of the arc!
O'Neal smiled for the first time in the game and gave Fox a high-five to celebrate.
At 33:27, the Lakers bench was also excited, and Kobe was even more excited and pumping his fists, looking particularly excited.
On the defensive end, the Lakers responded to each other and began to double-team Li You who was holding the ball in advance.
After Li You gave the ball to Kukqi on the right wing immediately, Fox let go of Artest and took turns to defend. As a result, Artest, who received the ball in the right corner, also scored an open three-pointer. !
The two sides soon entered a stalemate, and the Knicks began to take turns committing fouls and pounced on O'Neal.
The Lakers got their main lineup back in advance, and Kobe continued to be responsible for leading the defense.
With 4 minutes and 34 seconds left in the half, the score between the two sides reached 45:40.
Kurt Thomas received his third foul, and Jeff Van Gundy immediately requested a timeout.
"This is O'Neal's dominance at the basket. Once the Knicks cannot score a response, the Lakers can reverse the game!"
Bob Costas heard the strangers next to him praising O'Neal for scoring consecutive points, and he also briefly commented:
"The Knicks have weathered a tough stretch, and the bench has done a great job."
"Defense!."
After the timeout, the Knicks served from the baseline. Kobe continued to clap his hands and once again led the defense to Li You's side.
After resting for most of the game, Ewing recovered a lot of physical fitness and quickly walked to the top of the key to stand.
Quickly advancing past half-court, he noticed that O'Neal was no longer squatting in the pit, holding the ball in his left hand and quickly in and out. While Li You bumped into Kobe, he lowered his center of gravity and squeezed past Ewing on the left.
Taking advantage of O'Neal's move, Li You, who got rid of the pursuit, held the ball in his left hand and moved laterally on the three-point line.
First, he raised his body's center of gravity. Li You quickly pulled the defense, and O'Neal immediately came up with a huge delay.
Li You pretended to lean forward and accelerate, and then suddenly stopped suddenly. He quickly exerted force with his right foot in front of him and completed the retreat.
Being shaken and sliding to the left, O'Neal had no time to adjust his defensive focus and watched Li You make a jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!" Another three-pointer!
After consecutive strikes, Li You hit a three-pointer again. O'Neal looked ugly and felt that he was being shown off again.
At 48:40, the point difference widened instantly.
For insurance reasons, Phil Jackson also immediately requested a timeout. He had to interrupt Li You's three-point offensive.
Before walking to the bench, O'Neal, who was numb from being shot, stared at Li You and shouted loudly to Li You in front of him:
"Be like a man and have a real showdown! Put away your damn pick-and-roll!"
"Without the pick-and-roll, I can't find a player who is curled up like a turtle at the basket, Shark? Turtle?"
After Li You said this, he raised his head with a smile, which immediately made O'Neal furious.
Just as Shark was about to get in front of Li You, he was pushed by Ewing, and everyone from the Knicks rushed forward.
How to take O'Neal away, there is no suspense in this game. Although Oakley and Larry Johnson are short, they take the initiative to get close to O'Neal.
The primitive greetings and pushing movements almost caused the shark to get on top. In the end, Horry and Glenn Rice noticed that something was wrong and rushed into the crowd to hug O'Neal.
Phil Jackson immediately rushed to the center of the field, pulled O'Neal away, turned to the referee and complained loudly:
"It's the finals, look what they want to do!"
The Lakers fans who were not too concerned about the excitement were so excited that they yelled and cursed. Kobe was pushed several times in the crowd, and in the end he could only curse and be pulled away by the assistant coach.
Jeff Van Gundy looked regretful as he stood on the sidelines watching the situation on the court.
Even if two players are sent off and O'Neal is replaced, it is still cost-effective to win an away game.
O'Neal, who regained his composure, sat on the bench, lowered his head and remained silent.
He vented his anger on the "oral liquid", crushed the bottle of the energy drink, and took a big gulp of water to replenish his fluids.
Kobe wanted to complain about Ewing and Li You's pick-and-roll fouls, but looking at the furious Phil Jackson, he didn't dare to complain for a while.
"Calm down! OK!? We have gained the initiative. Pay attention to the number of fouls committed by the opponent and stop shooting jumpers outside!"
Phil Jackson made a face and loudly reminded his players that the Knicks had entered extra penalty mode.
After the timeout, the Lakers returned to the court and stabilized their offensive rhythm.
Ewing kept wrestling with O'Neal in a circle inside. Once he got close to the low post, Oakley ignored Horry and immediately rushed to the basket.
Unlike the Trail Blazers' interior group, with Oakley's help, Ewing's foul count was extremely controlled.
This can be regarded as the rhythm of the game that the two are most familiar with. After pulling down, there is no good passing opportunity. Kobe immediately goes to the right block to ask for the ball with his back.
After Harper sent the pass, he led Li You directly to the left corner.
Before O'Neal could make room for Kobe to attack, he turned around after receiving the ball. Kobe, holding the ball in his left hand, began to move up the line.
With the cover of Hori's elbow on the right side of the free throw line, Kobe successfully got rid of the entanglement of Alan-Houston.
When you come to the free throw line, the Kobe is quickly in and out, and Oakli is dangling in the paint area. Then he grabbed the ball with one hand with one hand, and rushed up the basket.
After jumping in the paint area, Kobe in the air spit his tongue, and before he had time to put the basket, the fans were exclaimed in the ears.
Bob Costas noticed that Li You suddenly burst into the basket, and the left hand held the ball down, and immediately shouted:
"From the cover of Li! God! His response is too fast!"
After the air confrontation lost the center of gravity, Kobe fell across the floor horizontally after falling on the ground, and immediately rushed to the street.
Harper at the bottom of the left corner even had no time to remind his teammates. After landing, Li You immediately rushed after re -scoring the ball.
Horri was attracted by Alan Houston's running position. When he retreated to halftime, he found that Harper failed to keep up with Li You in time.
Hurry up to change the defense direction. Hori on the left side of the wing accelerates its steps, but the time is too late. After adjusting the footsteps, Li You stopped on the three -point line.
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
At 51:40, Li You, who scored the goal, raised his hands, walked next to Ho Li, and then smiled with Alan Houston.
On the bench of the Knicks, several of the coaches could not help but punch, and the boo in the stadium could not affect the good mood of everyone.
Doug-Collins was dumb again, and the difference was chased 6 points at the lowest hour, but as long as he didn't pay attention to a few rounds, he returned to the double-digit: accidentally:
"No matter how many times I read it, this is really incredible projection ability. A lot of physical confrontation, Li can still maintain an efficient attack, incredible!"
In the last 3 minutes of the semi -half game, the two sides were getting bigger and bigger, and both sides frequently stood on the free throw line.
Phil-Jackson has long been unable to keep calm, and constantly reminds the players to rush in
At 57:46, the Lakers were behind the Lakers who were behind the halftime. Looking at the Lakers who walked down and walked towards the player channel, the Staples Hall became more and more noisy.
8 of 8, 2 of 5 free throws, O'Neal scored 12 points in a single quarter, and 22 points have been scored in the half!
Doug-Collins looked at technical statistics, and there was a feeling that could not be said in his heart.
Bob Costas has no partner so much.
"This is Li, he can always play an incredible performance in key competitions!"
In the first half, I only took a rest for more than 1 minute, 8 of 14, 9 of 9, 5 of the three -point line, 4 of 4, 25 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, silent, Li You scored more than O'Neal.
In the Lakers's dressing room, Phil-Jackson did not talk about tactics, but encouraged loudly:
"Maintain such a defensive intensity, we must speed up the offensive rhythm!"
"Running, they are tired, no one can maintain efficiency in such a game!"
Kobe heard that the head coach was skeptical. He knew that Li You felt the fish on the defensive end.
O'Neal directly did the bowl of chicken soup and whispered fiercely:
"Give me the ball, I don't feel tired! We can reverse the game!"
The experience of the Western finals made the Lakers' confidence greatly increased, and when they heard the boss's statement, they responded as soon as possible.
After the start of the second half, the Lakers suddenly accelerated. Taking advantage of the three people in the outside of the Knicks team, it took less than 3 minutes to play a wave of 6: 0.
57:52, the difference was reduced to 5 points.
"Wow!"
After seeing O'Neal's ball picking up Ewing, he quickly shot, and the Staples Hall was boiling again.
Jeff Van Gandy noticed that the scale of the blow became strict, and immediately asked for a suspension.
Larry Johnson was depressed, and the three-pointer of Galen Rice was still ironing.
"Lashad, pay attention to control the foul after playing, don't let the other party enter the penalty state!"
After greeting, Jeff Van Gandy also began to bow his head to write and draw on the tactical board, reminding everyone to break through the ball.
It was a few rounds on the court, and Ewing began to breathe again, and the reaction speed of the gorilla decreased again. At this time, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk.
When the time was stopped, Li You got up, patted Jeff-Van Gandy's shoulder with a smile, pressed the other party on the bench, and then walked into the venue.
After the first round, the Knicks did not have complex tactics. The top position of the arc. Li You once again used the Elem's pick -and -roll to drill from the pinch of the two to the paint area.
O'Neal continued to decline towards the basket, and the AC-Green on the right near the bottom line also shrinks.
During the march, Li You immediately divided the ball to Lewis, who was unattended on the right corner, and hit the iron.
The long rebounds were accepted by Galen Rice, and then immediately threw the ball in the frontcourt. Cobo desperately rushed over half the game. After the ball was scooped away, Alan Houston behind him, skinsing!
"oh!!"
Kobe, who completed the dunk, pulled his jersey and shouted at the camera under the basket excitedly.
At 57:54, there were only three points left. Phil Jackson kept palm at the sidelines. All the Lakers fans on the scene shouted:
"Defense!."
After receiving the bottom line, Li You still looked calm, and again compared the same tactical gestures, hanging Kobe's defense, and quickly advanced to halftime.
After changing his direction, Lasad Lewis was a little nervous. He had realized that the opponent let go of his shot, slipped to the left corner of the left side, and stood on the place where he was on the line.
Stay away from the three -point high -level steering, Li You, who holds the ball with the left hand, quickly pushes the ball to change the ball. After squeezing from the right side of Ewing, facing O'Neal, who is delayed, the right hand is led the ball again after the ball.
Li You, who was flying on the ground, was very low -hearted, leaning on O'Neal, who walked right and rear, accelerated his breakthrough with his left hand.
The AC-Green shrinks into the paint area again to coordinate the defense, and the opponent moves at the foot of the opponent.
There was no hesitation in the latter, ignoring the boo in your ear, throwing the ball!
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
Seeing the basketball fell into the basket, Lewis was so excited that the Lakers fans at the scene sighed loudly.
60:54, the Knicks team led another 6 points.
In the chasing stage, O'Neal once again picked up the ball in the low position on the left. Youy could no longer be able to hold it. The shark's turn was put on the basket, but the other party was robbed of the two rebounds.
For the third foul, Ewing stood next to the paint area and pant with his knees.
Li Youpai's auctioned gorilla, watching O'Neal still shooting a shot, walking out of the three -point line, and ridiculed:
"If you can't get a penalty, remember to go back and practice a free throw after you lose."
O'Neal, who fully focused on the free throw, had no mood to ignore this kind of garbage. After receiving the ball, he aiming for a long time, but he hit the iron directly.
When the second free throw was not hit, Olney wanted to rush to the frontcourt rebounds. As a result, the action was too large, but instead compensated the last foul.
Ewing holding basketball is also Bangbang's chest, giving herself up again.
Gorilla has been running, and Li You started to slow down the offensive rhythm.
On the line, the ball was patient, and the Ewing pestle was relieved at the near bottom line on the left.
Alan-Houston and Larry Johnson frequently handed their hands after receiving the ball, while Kobe continued to cover the cover, chasing Li You, who continued to pick up the ball.
On the left side of the wing, it was faked from Lewis, which was started from the bottom corner of the left side, hung up, and immediately stepped to the three -point line.
AC-Green subconsciously cooperated with the delays of Li You. Before the two were folded, the left wrist shaking his left wrist, and the ball was passed on and found out to Lewis.
Almost 24 seconds, Lewis's three -point line jumped again!
"Uh-huh!"
The ball entered the lights, and the three -pointer was empty into the net.
63:54, the difference came to 9 points, and a few people on the Lakers team were a little screened for a while.
Lewis was excited to celebrate with Li You, and scored 6 points in a row to help the Knicks go through the crisis.
AC-Green jumped in the empty position on the right elbows on the right side of the free throw line. He turned around and restarted the pick-and-roll. Li Youqiang suddenly made a foul.
Li You dumped his left arm. After shrugging his shoulders, he hit the free throw twice, shook his head with a smile, and reminded his teammates loudly:
"The opportunity is here, the third foul!"
Fil-Jackson on the sidelines also reminded O'Near aloud not to get the fourth criminal prematurely.
Soon, the game completely entered the melee combat. Alan Houston faced Harper's defense and slammed the basket. Larry Johnson took the ball low and rushed to the basket with Glen Rice.
Li You and Ewing took a few breaths, and continued to block and linked to the basket, Lewis also rushed to grab the frontcourt rebounds.
Jeff Van Gambi saw that O'Neal could not receive the fourth criminal, and he made a few rounds and kept complaining to the sidelines:
"See ghost! He didn't play at all, he hit my player!"
Of course, the referee would not bother, and the game was lively. The Lakers fans at the scene kept shouting to continue cheer for the home team.
Under a large number of muscles collision, O'Neal's strong attack was not affected, but Glen Rice couldn't hold it.
The Knicks began to lose twice of rebounds, and soon Ben-Wallace replaced Lewis of the iron.
Kobe was near the bottom line on the right and hit a high -difficult back jump shot again.
Li You suddenly speeded up, the top of the arc stopped, and the back of the crotch changed his left hand to the back of the ball suddenly, and the defense of Kobe opened the basket again.
Suddenly stopped in the paint area, Kobe failed to control the center of gravity of the body, rear -end defense, Li Youshun tossed the ball to the basket, and the referee immediately whistled.
"Squeak! Swish!"
The whistle rang the ball, Li You stepped on the free throw line again, and the three -point line was outering with his knees. Kobe began to breathe.
Seeing Li Youjia's punishment, the two on the commentary also breathed a breath:
"The Lakers still have a chance. In the three minutes of Es, they should continue to give the ball to O'Neal."
"But they should pay attention to the foul. Li has fined 5 goals in this quarter, and Kobe also receives the fourth of his individual."
Doug-Collins just fell, and Bob Costas shouted loudly:
"Beautiful interception! Lee predicted to go to Kobe's passing ball!"
Suddenly, the online transfer ball has been played too many times. Kobe has a slightly free pass, and Li Youzha, who was replaced in front of him to complete the steal.
The moment Kobe also wanted to pull and grab the ball. As a result, Li You's left hand secretly made a secret force, but pushed the opponent to a completely throwing off the defensive position.
After the ball was killed, the frontcourt hit 0, and the Lakers couldn't run. They stopped in the halftime and watched Li You's left hand to grab the ball to skun!
In the third quarter, the race frequently hit the iron, but in the last few minutes, Li You continued to score again.
"Shh!"
At 79:68, there was the last 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the third quarter. Li Youlian scored 5 points and the difference returned to 11 points.
The chase failed, and the last minute of the two sides fought iron, and the Staples Hall was quiet again.
The fans who bought tickets to watch the ball tonight only feel that the emotions are continuously pulled. Whenever the score is about to be tied, the Knicks team always stands up and scores.
8 of 8, 10 points and 6 rebounds, getting nearly half of the team's score, O'Neal pant when he returned to the bench, and drank "oral liquid" again.
The bench is particularly quiet, only Phil-Jackson is still encouraging their players:
"Our defense has worked, hold on, there is still time in the game!"
In the third quarter, Li You 8, 3 of 3, 3 of 3 points, 4 of 5 free throws, and 10 points. The Lakers' coaching team saw this situation and naturally would not give up the game.
O'Neal was still unable to rest since the start of the game. In the fourth quarter, the first attack was interfered by Ewing, and the second replenishment did not enter the basket.
Seeing this situation on the sidelines, Fil Jackson finally realized that the shark was really tired.
AC-Green's 3rd quarter of the game helped O'Neal with two fouls. At this time, the five criminals were sitting on the bench, and they could only watch the Lakers start to lose their rebounds.
Larry Johnson's paint area did not jump back and jumped back, and Ben Wallace tried Holyli and grabbed the frontcourt rebound.
After landing, Ben Wallace hurriedly threw the ball to Li You outside the three-point line.
Youye can't move evenly at this time, and the near -bottom line on the left side is relied on O'Neal.
The two were still pushing each other, and Alan Houston signaled "Aunt" to cover.
Rick Fox followed Larry Johnson to the right wing, watched the "aunt" hanging, and quickly bounced to the top of the arc.
The defensive end hesitated slightly, and Rick Fox saw that Li You, who was holding the ball with his right hand, suddenly accelerated, and the wing was directly cut in.
The crowded Kobe almost collided with his teammates. The defense of the two failed to form a tacit understanding. Li You broke through the position of the right resistance area and immediately turned around.
After pulling down the two, Li You's escort was squeezed into the paint area, O'Neal pestled under the basket, the Hori Xie Xie's defense jumped high, and the ball found that the ball was gone.
At the bottom right of the basket, Ben Wallace immediately vigorously touched the basket after receiving the ball!
"ah!!"
In the fourth quarter of the game, it took 3 minutes and 12 seconds. The Knicks team first broke the deadlock.
At 81:68, Li You, who retreated his defense, was relieved, and the game was basically stable.
Ewing couldn't run completely, and the Lakers couldn't do it. Under the rhythm of Li You's deliberately slowing down, the two sides crushed zero, and the score rose slowly.
When there were 4 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game, Ewing was replaced. Soon, Oakley also left the field 6.
O'Neal, who took a minute to rest, performed bravely, and took several rounds of baskets to pick up the ball in a row to attack.
93:85, the difference was reduced again.
"Defense!."
On the line, the ball was continuously passed on, and Li You, who was relieved, took the ball on the right side of the wing, and only left the last 6 seconds.
Kobe stared at Li You's movement and stepped on the three -point line. Li You took the ball on the left side of his body and tentatively tentatively tentatively. He still failed to get rid of the defense.
Taking advantage of Kobe's interference, Li You seized the opportunity, quickly put the ball in his left hand, and immediately withdrew the ball in place, immediately withdrew the ball, under the cover, and shot the right side of the wing!
Kobe struggled to defend, and the two fell to the ground. While the referee whistled, the Lakers fans were exclaimed and the basketball was hollowed into the net.
The Staples Store was completely quiet, and the Knicks team jumped up at the bench to cheer again.
After Li You was pulled up by his teammates, he immediately put his right hand in his ears, and then slowly moved towards the free throw.
Kobe stunned his knees frustrated, panting at the same time, and kept staring at the mark.
After adjusting his breathing, Li Youjia made a penalty and didn't boo. The Lakers fans felt that the game was gone.
At 97:85, the difference came to 12 points instantly. Phil Jackson on the sidelines couldn't help covering his forehead, and the painful memories rushed to his heart.
In the last 2 minutes, the two sides played the iron again and did not score a goal. At the last moment, Kobe's two fines were in the game, and the game time was finished.
At 99:90, after the game, Jeff Van Gambi couldn't help but fists, and then quickly walked towards the technical platform and shook hands with Phil Jackson to pay attention:
"Wonderful game! We are a better team tonight!"
"."
As a 5-crowned leader, Phil-Jackson has always been unaware of Jeff Van Gandy. In a word, he turned his head and walked directly to the player channel.
Tonight in the Staples Hall, there are also a small number of Knicks fans who win with a smile, and yell at the end of the game:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The shouting was given to Li You, but O'Neal only felt harsh only. The shark rushed back to the player channel and kicked the fence. The staff surrounding the staff were far away.
Watching Li You and his teammates touched his punch, the NBC commentary seat sighed again and again:
"The defending champion shows his own dominance. Li's performance also proves to everyone again why he is the youngest MVP in history!"
"43 minutes, 5 rebounds, 8 assists 2 steals, 1 block, 3 mistakes, unparalleled performance!"
46 minutes, 14 of 28, 6 of 14 of the three-point line, 9 of 10 free throws. After watching technical statistics, Doug-Collins became a wall grass.
Bob Costas did not care about the change of the partner.
"Getting a away victory, the Knicks team re -controlled the initiative, which is definitely a bad thing for the Lakers!"
As a fan, of course, the more fierce the game, the better. The two are not too much to see the lively, and even have the mood to help the Lakers to analyze how to prevent resistance
Almost full of the audience, 18 of 30, 5, 41 points, 14 rebounds, 1 block of the free throw and 2 blocks.
O'Nenol appeared at the press conference and kept holding a face at the press conference.
Fortunately, the media environment in Los Angeles is friendly enough, and this data is impeccable, and no one touchs shark mold.
The teammates ate a lot of their rights. Kobe 13 of 13, only 14 points to the account, sitting beside O'Neal, uncomfortable in his heart, no one cares about his performance.
The atmosphere of the Lakers' press conference was dull. After seeing Li You's light gray formal dress appeared on the stage, the New York media applauded.
After sitting down, Li You waved his hand with a smile and saw several reporters in Los Angeles secretly whispering.
"Lee, how do you think the Lakers will defend the Knicks' pick -and -roll?"
The person who asked was a reporter from the New York Post. After asking the question, he blinked. Li You first pretended to think about it, and then said carefully:
"Can't prevent it! Ready to go home! Maybe find an excuse in advance!"
"For example, I'm too fat, I can't run anymore, I can only shrink under the basket"
New York reporters in the audience laughed. The answer was particularly familiar. O'Neal also said similar words in the previous playoffs.
The darts were fighting again, and soon a reporter from Los Angeles left the scene.
As for the later game, will you lose? That's the matter of the day after tomorrow. At this moment, everyone wins and laughs, and outputs it.
Back to the hotel's bus, everyone in the car of the Knicks laughed and farted, and there were fans from Los Angeles outside the car screaming.
Jeff-Van Gandy is in a good mood. Pay attention to the tired look on Ewing's face, and continue to send the thick chicken soup:
"Pat, still winning three games, we can achieve three consecutive achievements!"
"Persist, the team needs you, you are our defensive cornerstone!"
"."
7 of 7, 3, 9 points, 11 rebounds and 2 mistakes at the free throw. Ewed 39 minutes of playing is already overdrawn.
However, when I heard the head coach, gorillas still took a mental patted their breasts to guarantee, but my heart was secretly thinking:
"Get the champion, you should be able to tour, right?"
