The Magic will be the Knicks' biggest opponent besides the Celtics in the next few years.
In such a close game, psychological advantage is very important, and Li Yan has a reason to win.
The second half of the game started quickly.
Both sides are the main lineup of the opening game.
In the Knicks' round, Li Yan held the ball for half the game.
In the frontcourt, Li Yan played a pick-and-roll tactic with Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian immediately made an outside shot, and Li Yan faced Rashad Lewis, who was changing defense.
Lewis's defense can only be regarded as average, and Li Yan had a considerable advantage in beating Lewis.
Continuously changing direction in front of his body, Li Yan made large-scale maneuvers.
Lewis kept changing his defensive posture according to Li Yan's movements, "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
Li Yan's large change of direction caused Lewis's center of gravity to shift, and he suddenly collected the ball and accelerated.
Li Yan walked away from Lewis.
At this time, Lewis's center of gravity could no longer be pulled back, and he seemed to be frozen in place.
Li Yan rushed into the paint area, and before Howard could defend, he made a throw.
The basketball drew a high arc and hit the net hollowly.
54 to 59!
Magic round.
Isiah Thomas shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Give them physical contact, don't give them a chance to shoot."
The Knicks' players are now executing very well. After Thomas' instructions, they stepped up to put pressure on the Magic players.
After halftime, Nelson gave the basketball to Turkoglu.
In the "one-star, four-shot" lineup, Turkoglu is very critical. He is not only an outside shooter, but also the engine of this lineup.
He needs to let Howard catch the basketball in the most comfortable state.
Artest faced a strong physical confrontation, and Turkoglu quickly signaled Lewis to come up and provide a cover.
When changing defense after the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian opened his hands to expand his defensive area.
Turkoglu's passing was precise, and he found "Warcraft" Howard who wanted the ball in the low post.
After Howard caught the ball, he turned around and jumped up with one step. This simple move was a great threat.
Randolph was pushed away, and just when Howard thought he had two points in his pocket, a black shadow rose into the sky.
It was Li Yan. When changing defense, Li Yan successfully came to the inside position to help defend.
The moment he saw "Warcraft" attack the basket, Li Yan, who was blessed with "Flash Contempt", jumped up high.
There was no suspense. Howard, who wanted to take off and complete a dunk, was undoubtedly frustrated in front of Li Yan.
"Pa!" A big hat is given to the destined person.
Although your dunk action is very smooth, I can only score nine points!
Randolph picked up the basketball and continued to organize it for Li Yan.
After Li Yan received the ball, he observed the situation and directly passed the high ball with one hand to find Richardson who was coming down the frontcourt.
Richardson seized the opportunity to transition between offense and defense and converted a three-pointer from the outside.
"Whoa!" The basketball flew through a rainbow and hit the net.
57 to 59!
Magic round.
It is still Turkoglu looking for Howard under the basket.
Randolph had four fouls. In this case, he did not dare to make too many defensive moves.
Howard turned around and wiped away, "Boom!"
Hit the basket vigorously, 57 to 61! Howard's speed was too fast, and Li Yan didn't have time to help defend.
After Howard landed, he smiled and waved to Li Yan.
Li Yan was happy. "Warcraft" was really interesting. He still didn't know the seriousness of the problem.
Knicks round.
Li Yan and Randolph launched a "one-five" pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
Li Yan's breakthrough attracted all the firepower, and Randolph, who was following the pick-and-roll, received Li Yan's pass.
However, Howard, who has his own defensive system, made a very timely defense, and he was in front of Randolph in an instant.
Howard has a comprehensive advantage in strength confrontation and speed.
Randolph returned the ball to Li Yan.
Howard is now full of confidence, and he once again made a wide range of moves to guard Li Yan.
Howard is very strong, but Li Yan is absolutely worthy of it. He must fight for this mismatch.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Li Yan continued to dribble and change direction in front of his body. Howard tried hard to follow Li Yan's movements, but he was always a beat slow.
"Whoosh!" Li Yan collected the ball and accelerated, making a fierce first step in an instant.
Howard was completely immobilized by Li Yan, but "Warcraft" did not give up. He was still chasing Li Yan.
At this time, under the suppression effect of "Eagle Eye", Li Yan had a panoramic view of Howard's every move.
He made a sudden stop very angrily, and Howard flew out without stopping the car.
Li Yan glanced at Howard, then easily made a layup and scored two points.
59 to 61! The sound of the basketball net is very clear.
Magic offense.
Nelson and Turkoglu engaged in a pick-and-roll. After gaining space, Nelson decisively shot a three-pointer.
"Duang!" Just a little missed, the basketball bounced out of the basket.
Howard, who had just been knocked away by Li Yan, used all his strength to regain his face. He struggled to grab this offensive rebound.
The second attack was originally a piece of cake for Howard, but with Li Yan, the situation became completely subtle.
"Bang!" From an incredible angle, Li Yan reached out and destroyed Howard's "must-goal".
After landing, Li Yan raised his arms and roared, causing Madison Garden to boil instantly.
"Coming, coming, a real man roars."
"Excellent defense, Li Yan blocked Dwight Howard twice."
"Iron-blooded man, Li's signature moves will make your blood boil every time you watch him."
"I'm so passionate. I won't brag about it. I've been watching Li Yan's games for half a year. My wife said I've become more powerful."
"Fuck, why does Lao Wang next door shout louder than me?"
Blessed by the roar of the Wolf King, the Knicks players also felt refreshed.
Knicks round.
Li Yan faced Turkoglu directly after the pick-and-roll, double crossover, changed direction to collect the ball, and completed it in one go.
Turkoglu lost his center of gravity. He did not dare to move at all. Maintaining his standing position was his last dignity.
Li Yan performed a set of moves smoothly. After arriving in the paint area, Li Yan passed the basketball to Yi Jianlian, who was cutting through the air.
"Warcraft" Howard immediately stepped forward, and he was very intimidating under the basket.
However, Yi Jianlian also quickly passed the ball out.
This is the cooperation between the two Chinese players. Their tacit understanding makes "Warcraft" Howard exhausted.
Li Yan jumped high, releasing all his vision in the air.
Li Yan's rhythm was very good. He grabbed the ball with one hand in the air and showed his super ability to stay in the air.
Howard had no time to take off and could only become the "backdrop" for Li Yan to dunk.
Li Yan raised the basketball high above his head and hit a thunderous dunk across Howard.
"Boom!" 61 to 61! The Knicks tied the score.
Howard was unsteady on his feet, and he was pushed back repeatedly by the impact brought by Li Yan.
"Wow!" "I bought it!"
"Good job!" "Button!"
"That's awesome."
The entire arena erupted in cheers.
Barkley stood up excitedly: "Oh my God! That's great, Lee dunked on Dwight Howard."
"This goal is very beautiful. The cooperation between the two Chinese players is very tacit."
"I think Li Yan can try to participate in this season's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. His current performance is definitely a strong contender for the dunk king."
"Hahaha!"
"Everyone can look forward to Li Yan's performance in the dunk contest!"
