The sound in the Pepsi Center grew louder and louder, and the fans in the stands were chanting Li Yan's name.
Yangma's camera faithfully recorded this scene, and the staff of the program were both shocked and surprised.
They know that Li Yan is very popular, but the atmosphere in front of the TV screen and in the scene are completely different.
It was so hot that the photographer almost shouted along.
The Knicks, who had a slow start, were still calm, which is one of the few advantages of the Knicks players.
They have a strong mentality, after all, they are often booed, whether at home or away.
Knicks re-serves the sideline ball.
This time it was Eddie Curry sitting low on Marcus Camby.
Eddie Curry's condition is extremely unstable. When he is in good condition, he will transform into a "little shark", using his huge body to suppress his opponents, using the back-up pace that is almost lost in the NBA, and finally using his ridiculous long arms and soft toes. The hook ends the fight.
His flexibility is completely out of proportion to his weight, and he can complete many technical actions that even a power forward cannot perform, such as flexible turn-over jump shots.
But the probability of Eddie Curry being in good condition is not very high. Sometimes he plays for a few minutes a night, sometimes for a minute every night. His lack of physical fitness and fighting spirit is his biggest problem.
Although he dares to shoot in the mid-range, giving people the impression of being "able inside and outside", the shooting stability is actually very poor, and the vision of high-post passing is also poor.
Marbury on the outside doesn't like passing the ball, and the same goes for Eddie Curry on the inside. The Knicks' record is very poor.
Head coach Thomas, the "Smiling Assassin," expressed his frustration. He has repeatedly stressed the importance of sharing the ball; Thomas even said, "Give me Li Yan, and the Knicks can become a championship team."
"DUang!" Under the interference of Camby's long arms, Eddie Curry's turn-over jumper failed.
Nuggets offense.
After Li Yan came to the frontcourt, he started a pick-and-roll with Kenyon Martin.
After the pick-and-roll, Li Yan broke through inside and attracted a double team from the Knicks.
Among the crowd, Li Yan accurately found Kenyon Martin, who hit the ball freely.
The basketball passed through the crowd and landed comfortably in the hands of Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon Martin jumped off the ground, stretched out one arm, and slammed the basketball into the basket.
"Boom!" Beautiful aerial work.
6 to 0! Kenyon Martin waved his arms excitedly in celebration after landing.
Kenyon Martin feels that Li Yan's passing is getting better and better. Even Jason Kidd never reached this level.
"WOW! Are you an All-Star today?"
"Haha, I can't stop dunking!"
"Kenyon, nice buckle!"
“Lee’s passing was great too!”
The Nuggets fans in the stands continued to climax. This game was so comfortable.
On the sidelines of the Nuggets bench, George Karl said to the assistant coach:
"Lee's ability to initiate pick-and-rolls is top-notch in the league. No insider doesn't like him."
George Karl actually told the news to the Yangma column team behind him. When he learned that China's largest TV station was going to do a special program for Li Yan, he wanted to help Li Yan promote it more.
Of course this is not bragging, George Karl likes Li Yan, but what he said is the truth.
George Karl has thought more than once that without Li Yan, the Nuggets might still be fighting alone.
Carmelo Anthony is not a person who can change easily. Even if Li Yan can help him improve efficiency, he still likes inefficient singles.
Without Li Yan, Iverson's weaknesses on the defensive end would be infinitely magnified.
The Nuggets may make it to the playoffs, but they definitely won't get far.
Li Yan's huge improvement to the team is an important reason why he is favored by George Karl.
The Knicks finally scored the first goal of the game.
Richardson received a pass from Marbury and hit a three-pointer from the outside.
6 to 3!
Nuggets offense.
It was still a pick-and-roll, but the simple tactics made Li Yan change his game.
This time it's a pick-and-roll with JR Smith. Who says pick-and-rolls can't be played between outside lines?
Li Yan took away the defensive player and passed the ball from behind to JR Smith.
Outside the three-point line, JR Smith even took a look at the basket before taking a calm shot.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the net hollowly.
9 to 3!
"Fake!" Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas was helpless. This is the real point guard.
On his own side, it was as if his brain was missing, all he could see was the basket.
Without Iverson and Anthony, the Nuggets played extremely smoothly.
There was no delay in the entire offensive rhythm, and it was completely based around Li Yan's tactics.
After Li Yan completed the connection with Camby, the Knicks were stopped.
If this continues, they will be slaughtered here. Although the Knicks cannot make the playoffs, they still want face.
Thomas quickly called a timeout.
"What are you doing?" Thomas wanted to scold his players: "Share the ball and move the ball."
Marbury was replenishing water on the side with an indifferent expression.
Thomas has nothing to do. On his back line, Marbury and Francis have the top two salaries on the team.
One is 17 million and the other is 15 million. This is the salary level of Kobe and Iverson.
As a result, the combined scoring of these two guys was not as high as either of Kobe and Iverson, and their connection ability was even worse.
"Stephen, don't let a rookie ride on your head." Thomas emphasized: "Don't let him pass the ball easily. This is not his assist performance."
Marbury then raised his head and whispered: "I know."
There is no way, the old horse also wants to lose face, and it is really not good-looking to be suppressed by a rookie.
Thomas adjusted his tactics to cut off the connection between Li Yan and his teammates, allowing Li Yan to attack on his own.
Compared with assists, Li Yan's scoring ability is not that strong.
Unlike the solemn atmosphere of the Knicks, the atmosphere of the Nuggets is very relaxed.
George Karl didn't even have a playboard, he didn't feel it was necessary.
"Defend well and don't miss anyone." George Karl thought for a while and continued:
"We have to actively fight for front and back rebounds. Once we get the ball, give it to Lee as soon as possible. He will create scoring opportunities for everyone."
"Remember, when you get the ball, give it to Lee." George Karl emphasized it again before taking the field.
The staff of Yangma’s program team were shocked.
Are all NBA coaches so easy to mess with? Is giving the ball to us Xiao Li the whole tactic?
Not to mention O'Neal's grandma, I can fuck her too!
