At the end of the first quarter, the score was 34-18, and the Nuggets opened the point difference to 16 points.
Li Yan dominated both offense and defense with 12 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal.
The cheers of the fans continued, and the Pepsi Center scene was filled with excitement.
Barkley explained: "Li Yan is too strong. There is no answer or Melo. Li Yan beat Stephon Marbury."
"No, he beat every Knicks player," Barkley added:
"Lee makes Isiah Thomas' play look a little silly!"
Smith nodded in agreement with Barkley's point of view. He said: "Lee's offensive skills are very comprehensive. It is not easy to defend him one-on-one. The Knicks do not have one-on-one defense experts."
After the start of the second quarter, Li Yan sat on the bench to rest.
Although Li Yan played very well, George Karl cherished Li Yan very much.
If George Karl had a choice, he would rather let Anthony get injured than save his little baby.
The Nuggets are led by JR Smith and Nene Hilario, while the Knicks are led by Steve Francis and Crawford.
Without Li Yan, the Nuggets are not playing in a coherent manner, let alone the Knicks. They have always been like this.
JR and Crawford are both masters of chaos. This kind of rhythm is quite good for them, and the game has simply turned into a shooting contest.
The rhythm on the court was a bit chaotic, and the two sides were playing back and forth in a lively manner.
When Li Yan came on the court, the score was 44 to 29, and the Nuggets still had a 15-point lead.
After Li Yan came on the court, the Nuggets' offense immediately got on the right track.
Li Yan used the pick-and-roll to kill the inside with three slow steps and a European step with a poor rhythm.
Li Yan easily hit the basket.
46 to 29!
"Li Yan played very efficiently, and his hit rate was as high as 80%."
"Li Yan has a very strong desire to attack. He hit another layup just after he came on the court."
Nuggets fans are still a little unfamiliar with this kind of Li Yan. Before that, he had always played the role of "regulator" around Iverson and Anthony.
Li Yan is responsible for delivering "ammunition", and Iverson and Anthony are responsible for finishing.
Now it seems that Li Yan is also very lethal on the offensive end.
…………
Knicks offense.
Li Yan is also very committed on the defensive end, which is why Kobe and others are optimistic about Li Yan. The historical giants are all good at both offense and defense.
Li Yan has a very good defensive awareness and a positive attitude, which is a prerequisite for growing into a defensive expert.
Li Yan stepped forward to press Marbury. Marbury's basic skills were still solid and he controlled the ball steadily.
However, under the leadership of Li Yan, the Nuggets' overall defensive quality has improved.
The Knicks' already "constipated" offense became even more sluggish.
Marbury's personal ability is very strong. He used a change of direction to suppress Li Yan's position, and then attacked the inside.
This time, Marbury drew a foul on Kenyon Martin.
Go to the free throw line and make both free throws, 46 to 31!
Nuggets round.
Li Yan was flanked by two people while holding the ball. Li Yan did not panic at all and passed the ball to JR Smith for a transition.
Li Yan used the pick-and-roll to cut inside, and David Lee rushed over from one side to help defend.
Li Yan only took a glance and noticed Kenyon Martin following behind him.
Without turning around, Li Yan used NO-lOOk-paSS again, as if there were eyes in the back of his head.
The basketball came to Kenyon Martin's hands accurately. Due to Li Yan's restraint, there was no one around Kenyon Martin.
Kicking off the ground and taking off, Kenyon Martin leaped high into the air, "Boom!"
A one-handed chop shocked everyone, and the Pepsi Center was instantly set on fire.
Kenyon Martin high-fived Li Yan to celebrate.
"It's such a beautiful message!"
"How did Li Yan find Kenyon Martin behind him? He didn't turn around at all."
"Magician, so he is a magician. Normal point guards can't pass this ball."
Under Li Yan's teamwork, the Nuggets' offense was smooth.
The entire stadium was in constant climax. Yangma’s program team recorded this: Li Yan has achieved great success in the NBA. The fans here are crazy about him. As long as Li Yan comes on the court, the entire stadium never stops cheering. He Be a real superstar!
Knicks offense.
The Nuggets' defense is very layered, and it is very difficult for the Knicks to score points based on personal ability.
Although Marbury and Crawford both have strong scoring abilities, they won't get far by relying only on something as ethereal as touch.
Crawford faced JR Smith and hit a three-pointer.
Li Yan got the rebound in the backcourt and launched a fast break directly.
He quickly advanced to the frontcourt and went 3-on-3 in the frontcourt. This is Li Yan's specialty.
David Lee marked Kenyon Martin, Crawford watched JR Smith, and Li Yan faced Richardson.
Li Yan did not choose to pass the ball, and Europe started. This goal was completely a reflection of his personal ability.
Li Yan moved sideways and got out of the way. Richardson didn't reach out again. Being beaten to two plus one was not worth the gain.
"Whoa!" Li Yan easily made a layup.
Li Yan scored and assisted with both hands today, and the point difference continued to widen.
The fans at the scene were so excited that they were simply beating the Knicks.
"Taylor Swift" on the sidelines also stood up excitedly and cheered for Li Yan.
Li Yan was also excited. When he passed by the sidelines, he reached out and gave Swift a high-five to celebrate.
The camera showed a close-up of Li Yan and "Taylor Swift" high-fiving, and "whistles" and "scuffles" rang out from the Nuggets' bench.
In this kind of competition, everyone lets go.
The Knicks requested a timeout, but they had no good solution for Li Yan.
Li Yan led the Nuggets to continuously attack the Knicks' defense.
At halftime, the score difference between the two teams reached 30 points.
George Karl originally wanted Li Yan to clock out directly, but both Iverson and Anthony took turns in this game. If Li Yan did not play in the second half, it would be too much for the fans.
After all, most fans come for the stars.
In the third quarter of the game, Li Yan continued to increase his data.
The Knicks did not replace the substitutes, but the main lineup also had little combat effectiveness. They just wanted to run out of time.
At the end of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 40+, and the game officially entered garbage time.
In this game, Li Yan didn't consume much. He didn't even use the "Wolf King's Roar".
Li Yan couldn't do such a thing when he was leading by a big score.
As for the "ball master", Li Yan also didn't activate it.
At the end of the game, when I was having fun with "Taylor Swift", I used the ball control master once in each half. Thinking about it, it feels very powerful, but I don't know if "Taylor Swift" can withstand it.
In the end, the score was fixed at 119-83, and the Nuggets beat the Knicks by 36 points at home.
Li Yan scored 28 points, 21 assists, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. It was another super triple-double, and he got it while clocking out of get off work in the third quarter.
The staff of Yangma's program team were all impressed by Li Yan's performance.
Before, they thought about capturing Li Yan's highlight moments and cutting them into the film, but as a result, there were highlight moments all the time.
A hearty victory, Li Yan used a super triple-double to perfectly end the regular season of his rookie season.
