NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 312 More Fun (Daily Chapter)

How can ordinary players increase their visibility?

The easiest thing to do is to impress the fans in a strong dialogue.

On the night of November 11th, Laga Bell faced Kobe Bryant, who was traveling at the wrong time, and the two frequently collided with each other.

During the rotation phase, the Lakers usually use Fisher and Horace Grant. In tonight's game, Phil Jackson gave Malone's old teammate Brian Russell more playing time.

The Lakers dream of returning to the lineup of the previous two years, but the personnel are still there, but the physical condition of several veterans has declined a lot.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks made a large-scale rotation, and their opponents beat the iron. They still maintained the lead relying on Stoudemire's offense.

With 8 minutes and 46 seconds left in the half, Mutombo made a tip-in under the basket in the last round. Looking back, O'Neal wanted to continue attacking in the low post.

The New York fans at the scene watched with enthusiasm, and the defensive shouts became louder and louder:

"Defense!."

After Fisher came on the scene, the Lakers returned to their previous offensive routine, the classic start of the triangle offense.

When O'Neal was about to post the ball in the low post on the left side, Kobe Bryant in the left corner took the lead and came to the left wing to complete the hand-off with Fisher.

According to the tactical requirements, Kobe would either choose to throw the ball directly to O'Neal inside, or call a pick-and-roll to let Fisher slip to the baseline, forming a partial 2-on-2.

However, at the beginning of tonight's game, O'Neal frequently attacked Kobe on the bench, and both of them played with emotion.

After finally getting the ball, Kobe didn't call for a pick-and-roll. After catching the ball, he released the ball with his right hand, swung his body forward to the right and then changed direction significantly.

Switching to his left hand, Kobe opened a little space and immediately accelerated his breakthrough.

O'Neal, who was still asking for the ball inside, was so angry by Kobe's offensive choice. Without paying attention, Mutombo completed the defense around the front.

Fisher had just reached the left corner at this time. When he saw Kobe's breakthrough, he quickly slipped to the baseline and tried to open up the offensive space.

Attack and defense are matters of a split second. After making the wrong offensive choice, Kobe found himself surrounded by three people when he broke through to the left block.

Laga Bell, who was sliding to defend, did not lose his position and still stayed on the right side of Kobe. Knight, who gave up guarding Fisher, also pounced on him and cooperated with his teammates to complete the double-team.

Mutombo saw the opportunity and raised his hands to block Kobe's passing route. With three people surrounding him, Kobe was forced to stop the ball.

Raja Bell stepped forward to press, cut the ball hard, hit Kobe's hand and then cut the ball away.

"Wow!"

Seeing the steal completed, the New York fans at the scene cheered. Kobe reacted quickly to the ball dropped and regained control of the ball immediately.

At the same time, he complained loudly to the linesman, which Bryant thought was a foul.

The referee didn't say anything. The angry Kobe simply raised his elbow and swung the ball away.

Perhaps because he just learned this skill from Big Brother and was not proficient enough, Kobe's elbow action was too obvious. He first hit Knight, and then gave an elbow to Laga Bell.

Once in the face and once in the shoulder, the referee immediately blew the whistle and whistled Kobe for an offensive foul.

The angry Kobe turned his head and wanted to complain to the referee, but unexpectedly a strong force came from his side and he was pushed and staggered.

Before Kobe could react, Raja Bell showed off his extravagant boxing skills in his spare time. He stepped forward and hit Kobe with a backhand punch directly in the face.

"what!"

Don't let the New York fans get excited about the sudden conflict. Everyone shouted excitedly and watched Kobe Bryant, Raja Bell and Knight grapple with each other.

When O'Neal saw Kobe being at a disadvantage and receiving several punches in just a few seconds, he wanted to rush forward to help his younger brother.

Mutombo stood in front of O'Neal and pushed him. He thought that the opponent would hit him again, but he didn't expect that O'Neal just stood there and shouted loudly, but stopped moving forward.

On the contrary, Fisher wanted to rush forward to help but was hugged by Prince:

"Calm down, man!"

The linesman watched as Kobe took a few punches before he rushed between several people and pulled the two sides apart.

Brian Russell quickly hugged Kobe and tried to pull him away, but Kobe, who suffered a big loss, was still complaining to the referee excitedly:

"He obviously committed a foul right in front of your eyes!"

Seeing that the referee was indifferent and gestured to indicate technical fouls on both sides, Kobe did not hold back and began to call the referee.

Laga Bell laughed and clapped on the sidelines. Seeing Kobe being extremely excited, he started to shout again:

"Two more times, you weakling, and I'm right here!"

After being hugged by his teammates, Kobe began to ignore the referee and initiate a conflict. This completely angered the linesman, who blew the whistle continuously and pointed to the players' tunnel.

Kobe was ejected, and Raja Bell laughed again. Soon he also saw the referee's instructions and he also left the game.

"Oh!"

Laga Bell walked towards the tunnel and received cheers from the fans. On the other side, Kobe lowered his head and walked past Phil Jackson. He noticed that the head coach had no expression and his mood became even lower.

The old man from KFC looked serious and did not complain to the referee. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled Gary Payton to come on stage.

On the Knicks side, Li You and everyone watched a good show, and coach D'Antoni waved to start the rotation in advance.

The atmosphere in the arena became extremely noisy because of this conflict. Many fans even felt that it was not enough and began to provoke O'Neal again.

Before Li You took the technical free throw, he saw O'Neal pulling his teammates to explain tactics, and couldn't help but joke:

"There is no excuse for losing this time!"

"The game has just begun and you still can't stop me!"

O'Neal, with his hands on his hips, immediately choked back. In a few minutes, he caused Mutombo to receive two fouls, which made him quite proud.

Both sides made technical free throws, the main lineup returned, and the game soon entered the Knicks' rhythm again.

The Lakers' backcourt continued to fight, Gary Payton stopped talking, and he didn't take advantage of Artest.

As for Fisher, although he worked hard on defense, the effect was limited. From time to time, Payton had to cooperate with double teams.

The Knicks' defense became smaller and smaller. Although O'Neal, who was double-teamed, was able to find Malone, the latter followed suit after hitting a jumper just after his debut.

In the second half of the second quarter, O'Neal frequently completed the offense against the double defense inside. Except for free throws, the Lakers' tactics were completely ineffective.

Too many individual singles brought more counterattacks, and Payton, who realized something was wrong, began to consciously control the rhythm of the game.

"Defense!."

Amid the defensive cheers, Payton no longer chose to simply and rudely pass the ball to the inside. Instead, he restarted the pick-and-roll and signaled Malone to move up.

"Kurt delayed to come up!"

Instead of stepping off the line to defend, Li You loudly reminded his teammates while quickly squeezing through the screen.

Payton, who tried to use the pick-and-roll to break through on the right flank, was first delayed by Kurt Thomas. His body's explosive power decreased and he was unable to speed up and squeeze through.

He wanted to complete the pass, but Li You behind him moved quickly and squeezed into Payton's side early. The two bodies collided, making Malone, who was completely open, unable to receive the pass immediately.

Seeing Li You take over the defense again, Kurt Thomas quickly returned to position, and Payton was forced to slow down in the right block.

The execution of the tactics failed. Payton started to turn his back. When protecting the ball, he tried to get close to the basket and made continuous fierce throws.

Raising his right forearm, Li You defended while not forgetting to interfere with his left hand.

Malone noticed that the offense had completely stalled, and immediately waved to Fisher on the left wing, took the initiative to come to the top line, and provided an off-ball screen at the top of the arc.

Fisher used this screen to quickly move to the right wing, and Payton hurriedly sent the pass.

After catching the ball, Fisher didn't make too many adjustments and took a quick jump shot against Artest, who was chasing him from the side.

"state!"

The three-point shot was crooked, and the basketball was shot in a hurry and hit the backboard without even touching the frame.

After a quick rebound, Kurt Thomas was stunned, collected the backboard at the free throw line, and then immediately threw the ball forward.

Grant Hill started early and shook off Devin George behind him, grabbed the ball from the three-point line, and then rushed forward in three strides.

After leaping high and grabbing the ball with both hands in the air, Grant Hill folded and dunked!

40:54, the score difference is back to 14 points.

"Wow!"

Cheers resounded throughout the stadium, and Li You also clapped. After re-entering the game in the second quarter, he did not attack frequently, but devoted more energy to defense.

"If you choose to break through to the basket, you may be able to score points with free throws!"

Li You followed Peyton with a smile and started to make suggestions again.

Payton, who was preparing to catch the ball from the baseline, noticed that Li You's hand was on his body again, and he waved his arms in frustration, trying to get rid of this kind of defense.

The referee looked at the two of them, and Li You immediately let go. Payton took the opportunity to catch the ball from the baseline, and after just two steps, he got tangled up with Li You again.

Stopping and starting quickly, accelerating quickly, and dribbling quickly from behind, Payton still couldn't get rid of the entanglement when he crossed the center line. Instead, he was interfered by Li You's frequent cutting of the ball and his dribbling rhythm was ruined.

Seeing Li You once again defending against the ball, Payton quickly changed the direction of his hips at the top of the key. When he switched to his right hand, he sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed with his left arm.

"squeak!"

It was too obvious a pushing action, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and whistled Payton for a pushing foul.

"Oh!"

The cheers of the fans at the scene became particularly harsh, and Payton, who was deflated continuously, stared at his eyes and cursed angrily:

"Damn game!"

The Knicks' game strategy is simple and crude. They use the excellent defensive ability of outside players to suppress the opponent's backcourt and prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball in a comfortable position.

On the offensive end, despite Gasol's mediocre defensive performance against O'Neal in several rounds, Li You continued to feed the ball.

After two consecutive rounds of breakthroughs and missed baskets, Gasol received a pass from Li You with his back in the left block and immediately turned around to face the frame and attack.

O'Neal lowered his body weight, raised his right hand, and remained motionless in the face of Gasol's triple threat.

Quickly sweeping the ball, Gasol no longer made complicated movements, but suddenly exerted force on his feet and succeeded in a pull-up jumper!

After scoring 2 points in singles, Gasol was relieved. Wasting the ball would also put great pressure on him.

Looking back, the Lakers launched another simple and crude offense, and O'Neal stood on the free throw line.

In the commentary box, Kevin Harlan saw that the score difference was not narrowing and began to talk about topics other than the game:

"The Knicks have added a lot of Gasol's offense this year. In the third season of his career, Gasol is playing more aggressively than when he first entered the league!"

Doug Collins really likes the Knicks' team culture. Thinking of Kwame Brown he met during his coaching period, he couldn't help but sigh:

"No matter how talented a player is, he still needs a lot of playing time and shots to grow."

"The Knicks obviously have a long-term plan. They regard Gasol as the cornerstone of the inside, and they will naturally gradually increase his tactical status."

"Milicic of the Pistons doesn't seem to have earned the trust of head coach Larry Brown, which is definitely not a good thing for a rookie."

While the two were still chatting, O'Neal made his second free throw, and Gasol protected the rebound, followed by another long throw.

Payton worked hard to catch up and made small moves with his hands, but Li You still managed to get the ball in the middle.

Accelerating against the defense, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, rushed faster and faster, reaching the left flank in the blink of an eye.

Payton noticed that his teammates failed to retreat in time. The continuous turning back and running seemed to make Malone and O'Neal tired. It was just after halftime.

Slightly absent-minded, Payton realized that Li You was leaning forward to speed up, and hurriedly slid to the right and back.

Quickly cross-stepping back, Li You stopped suddenly and switched to his right hand, returned to the three-point line, looked up at the frame, and pretended to connect the ball with his left hand.

Payton followed his body's instinct and subconsciously jumped up to block the shot. When he flew into the air, he could only watch as Li You lowered his center of gravity and squeezed past him easily.

"Wow!"

Seeing Payton stuck on the three-point line after landing, the fans at the scene cheered again.

Before the Lakers could complete their retreat, Li You broke into the paint area and jumped high, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and succeeded in a gliding dunk!

Raising his arms in embarrassment, Payton made a long face and signaled to his teammates that it was his problem.

When preparing to catch the ball at the bottom line, Payton found Li You waiting for him under the basket, pursed his lips and said nothing, allowing the fans to ridicule him.

The Lakers game completely became O'Neal's free throws and Karl Malone's free throws.

In the last few minutes, Madison Square Garden was booed continuously by this situation. Although the referee gave the Lakers a chance, the point difference gradually widened.

At 46:64, looking at the score difference of nearly 20 points, the New York fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory in advance.

O'Neal, who was walking towards the tunnel, looked at the fans on both sides holding up his "missing person" and quickly took a deep breath to control his emotions.

In a single quarter, he made 8 of 4 free throws, 7 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points. O'Neal scored half of the team's points.

Returning to the locker room and sitting back in his seat, O'Neal did not look at Kobe who was entering an "unhappy" state on the other side, but looked at the old man from KFC and asked in a low voice:

"Why are we so far behind? This doesn't fit our game plan!"

Of course Phil Jackson wouldn't say that the backcourt was completely suppressed. He looked at O'Neal and seriously made an excuse for him:

"We just can't make it!"

"."

Fisher had just returned to his seat. When he heard the coach's words, he lowered his head to drink water in embarrassment. He made 5 of 0 goals, scored zero points, and hit open jumpers one after another.

Payton also had an ugly face and didn't score a point in the half. This was something he should have heard.

Malone knew that the game was over, so he turned into a "close brother" and comforted Kobe:

"Everyone has impulses, this is just a regular season game!"

"Don't complain when you lose, just like a man, we will win back when we return home!"

Big Brother's words made a somewhat guilty Kobe nod his head repeatedly, and he took the responsibility for the loss on himself:

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have struggled with the opponent's role players, and I shouldn't have complained to the referee. I ruined the game."

"I promise, when we return home, we will beat our opponents!"

Kobe looked serious and admitted his mistake to everyone in a low voice, but Phil Jackson didn't buy it. After the illegal invasion, he simply didn't like Kobe.

After the start of the second half, the point difference did not narrow as the game time passed, and the Knicks began to try more tactical routines. Payton was so entangled by Li You that he completely lost his temper. Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, he simply let himself go and fired continuously from outside the three-point line, beating blindly.

After the empty three-pointer, the Knicks started a new round of transition attack.

At the end of the third quarter, too many turnarounds made O'Neal take the initiative to raise his hand to signal substitutions. The Sharks stopped playing and chose to surrender early.

Watching the two sides begin to rotate their lineups, Kevin Harlan also found an excuse for the Lakers in the commentary box:

"In back-to-back games, the Lakers' physical fitness has been affected. Considering their lineup structure, it is understandable that the outside shooting touch was not good tonight."

"The regular season has just begun, and head coach Phil Jackson still needs to continue to fine-tune the lineup. It will be difficult to defeat the defending champion just by relying on individual stars!"

Gary Payton went 8 for 0 tonight and scored 3 points on free throws in the third quarter. Doug Collins also made an excuse for the veteran after seeing the technical statistics:

"Payton has obviously not adapted to the team's tactical system yet. We should give him more time. I believe that as the season progresses, he will gradually find his form!"

After the start of the fourth quarter, coach D'Antoni on the sidelines crossed his arms and looked at the situation on the court with a smile.

He still had some regrets in his heart. The Lakers surrendered too early. Before they had time to adjust their small lineup, their opponents gave up.

The Lakers, who surrendered too early, encountered an embarrassing situation. Their bench lineup was too weak and they were hit hard by the Knicks' rotation lineup!

Seeing the score difference getting wider and wider, the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden became more and more lively, and the New York fans at the scene could not stop shouting excitedly.

This situation also made the atmosphere team excited, and they completely defeated their opponents on both offense and defense.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench, watched Prince steal Luke Walton and couldn't help but subconsciously hold his forehead.

After the steal, Prince made an unguarded gliding dunk, and Madison Square Garden boiled again.

The Lakers' frontcourt trio of Walton, Brian Russell, and Horace Grant also had no good solution against Stoudemire.

Attacking in the low post, driving downfield after the pick-and-roll, following up with dunks in transition, and making big blocks on the defensive end, Stoudemire went absolutely crazy in the second half of the quarter.

Fisher and Kareem Rush, the member of the atmosphere group who appeared on the stage, were already numb. Matt Barnes, who had a rare opportunity to play, had no intention of letting go.

Big man Wright also wanted to find a good state on the soft persimmon, and for a while the Lakers actually had a scoring drought.

It wasn't until the last 58 seconds left in the game that Fisher hit the Lakers' first three-pointer of the game.

As the two sides stopped attacking, the New York fans at the scene stood up and applauded, and the cheers echoed through the arena again.

88:116, the Knicks defeated their opponents and continued their winning streak.

Returning to the tunnel early, everyone on the Lakers just wanted to leave. This was a nightmare game.

仅仅出场了31分钟，18中11，三分线外7中4，罚球6中6，砍下32分6篮板10助攻3抢断2盖帽1失误。

When the ESPN reporter interviewed Li You after the game, he did not mention the data again. Because the scene was too noisy, he could only raise his volume and ask a simple question loudly:

"Li, in tonight's game, we witnessed your excellent defense!"

"Gary Payton only scored 4 points and made 4 turnovers. Do you plan to compete for the best defensive player award this year??"

Li You sweated a little in the first quarter, but the Lakers didn't resist later, so he took advantage of it. When he heard this question, he immediately shook his head:

"Ron is the better defender and he's been responsible for guarding the other team's core players."

"I have a lot of respect for Payton, but no one can beat time, and neither can he."

"For me, it is actually very easy to face off against such a veteran! I just completed the tasks assigned by the coaching staff."

"."

O'Neal did not attend the postgame press conference due to a recurrence of his toe injury.

When Kobe Bryant and his big brother Malone appeared in front of the sports media, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times was the first to ask:

"Kobe, can you talk about your performance? With 28 points, it seems we shouldn't have lost so much. In the fourth quarter, our bench only scored 4 points."

Kobe, who was in a bad mood, was a little silent. He didn't want to make excuses. At this time, his good brother Malone took the initiative to help his younger brother out:

"I love Kobe's performance, he fought like a man tonight!"

"This is just an ordinary regular season game. We haven't officially played together for more than a month."

"The opponent is the defending champion. I don't want to emphasize how strong they are, but don't forget that they just won 73 games last season."

"Time will tell the answer. At the end of this season, you will see the Lakers win the championship trophy!"

Karl Malone, who has always been taciturn, suddenly offered chicken soup, which moved Kobe beside him. Seeing his good brother arguing with the sports media in the audience, Kobe secretly made up his mind:

"We must win the championship this year!"

Although the Lakers' loss caused discussion among some sports commentators, as Michael Jackson formed a dream team of lawyers, sports programs also began to follow suit.

On the 21st, the attention of the United States was attracted by the Michael Jackson fan support group.

Fans organized themselves and gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to express their protest. Everyone firmly believed that Michael Jackson had been maliciously slandered.

The people in Los Angeles didn't care about the Lakers losing at this time. Everyone had long forgotten the game. Several major news stations on TV repeatedly broadcast the progress of the case.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry also took this opportunity to ride on the popularity and appeared on the show one after another to tell the gossip they had obtained.

That night, during the Knicks' away game against the Pistons, some fans even held up whiteboards to speak out for Michael Jackson.

Whenever live TV is involved, these die-hard fans can be seen.

After head coach Larry Brown took over the Pistons, the team's offense did not improve.

In the starting lineup, Billups and Hamilton in the backcourt are still the main scorers;

Tonight's starting frontcourt trio of Tremaine Falski, Ben Wallace, and Eldon Campbell have excellent offensive abilities.

In the first quarter of the game, Billups was defended by Li You and shot 8 of 2, 3 of 0 from beyond the arc, and only scored 4 points.

The main scorer was restricted, which made the Pistons' offense even more constipated.

At 27:16 in a single quarter, relying on excellent defense, the Pistons fell behind by 11 points.

During the rotation phase, Collis Williams was playing hard, which gradually widened the score difference. Larry Brown roared again and again, but in the end he still could not prevent the Knicks from scoring.

Stoudemire has been in very good form recently, and he doesn't have complicated tricks. He catches the ball in the low post, relies on his more flexible body, and quickly turns around to attack the frame.

After the pick-and-roll, he catches the ball and uses his excellent explosive power to throw himself in the air and easily score points.

On the defensive end, the Knicks insisted on zone defense. Under the 32 zone defense, they consciously gave the opponent three-pointers from the corner. In addition, Mutombo was able to help Stoudemire fill in. The rotation of the Knicks completely suppressed the opponent.

At the end of the half, 55:38, the game lost suspense.

During the intermission, Ben Wallace returned to his seat and remained silent. Although he worked very hard on the defensive end, he still seemed powerless in the face of Stoudemire's impact.

Defense is never done by one person. When Li You and Stoudemire initiate a pick-and-roll, once the teammates on the line are out of position, "Big Ben" has to help defend.

This gives Stoudemire a chance. As long as the latter catches the ball in the middle, he can always rush to the basket and score points.

After leaving the Knicks, although "Big Ben" gained honors, his exposure was reduced a lot.

In addition, in last year's playoffs and the Nets' semifinals, the Pistons lost rebounds to their opponents in all four games, and Ben Wallace was questioned.

He can get good rebounding data in every game, but the Pistons were blown away by the Nets in the series.

Billups is the same. He won the championship with the Knicks and was educated by Jason Kidd after he came to the Pistons. His performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year was extremely hip.

Even if he had a good record in the regular season and stopped playing in the playoffs, Billups received a lot of criticism for his weak performance.

When Hamilton saw that no one was speaking, he took the initiative to speak out in the locker room and encouraged him with a serious expression:

"There is still time in the game, we have to keep our spirits up! It doesn't matter if we can't make the shot, just defend well and we will find the opportunity!"

"."

"Big Ben" in the locker room can be regarded as the team leader. The response to Hamilton's words was mediocre, and Ben Wallace was still in a state of self-doubt at this time.

When head coach Larry Brown returned to the locker room, he didn't offer chicken soup. Instead, he wrote on the tactical board and severely criticized the team's defense.

"Be firm in double-teaming. I don't want to see you change the game plan you made before the game without authorization again!"

"Listen, talent alone can't beat the defending champion. We can't make mistakes. We have to cherish every round!"

After the start of the third quarter, Larry Brown's arrangement did not have any effect.

Gasol frequently received the ball in the blocking area to support the attack. Ben Wallace could only watch the Knicks play the Flex screen he was familiar with, and cut into the basket to score repeatedly.

In the second half of the game, Li You and Gasol added a lot of hand-to-hand coordination.

The defense was out of position, and Ben Wallace could only watch as Li You made a jump shot from beyond the three-point line.

More off-ball movement, more screens, more transition offense.

Grant Hill was as fierce as a tiger in the fast break in the third quarter, taking penalties and scoring continuously!

Under the Pistons' tenacious defense, at 32:20 in a single quarter, the Knicks completely won the game.

87:58, Pistons fans began to boo Grant Hill at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Every time he faces his old club, Grant Hill will take the initiative.

It wasn't until the game entered garbage time in the fourth quarter that the Pistons' defense finally worked. However, the fans at the scene had long lost their emotions and everyone was waiting quietly for the end of the game.

In the end, 111:84, the Knicks continued their winning streak.

After losing a big score, everyone in the Pistons team was in a bad mood and left the field early after saying hello.

When walking towards the player tunnel, Ewing, who had seen the technical statistics, also felt sorry for his former "small budget":

"Ben's height is his biggest disadvantage. Over the past few years, his offense has remained the same."

大猩猩有些看不上“大本”的技术，今晚这位前队友11中4，拿到8分9篮板1助攻1抢断3失误。

Facing the Knicks' inside line, the Pistons also had problems with their rebounding. At 49:40, they still lost 9 rebounds despite garbage time.

Teammates were still gossiping about the news about Michael Jackson. Li You heard Ewing's words and responded casually:

"Relying on defense is enough to get a big contract. As for offense, that is a small gift that comes with it!"

"."

On the 22nd, back in Manhattan, the Knicks ushered in the last game of the week, facing the 76ers back-to-back.

艾弗森上半场10中3，罚球4中4，砍下10分。

At 40:58, after halftime, the 76ers fell behind by 18 points.

Li You, who was completely focused on defense, made Iverson lost again.

Halfway through the third quarter, Iverson continued to take shots.

With 9 of 3 shots and 8 points in a single quarter, Iverson led the Knicks on a great run.

After three quarters, 62:86, the game entered garbage time again.

In Madison Square Garden, Iverson also missed free throws. After being punched hard, he lay on the floor and was laughed at by the fans.

In the end, 82:116, the Knicks defeated the 76ers. Iverson, who broke the defense, suffered a recurrence of his knee injury after the game and failed to attend the press conference.

In several consecutive games, Li You had a double-double of 28+10. Although the data looked mediocre, he had a strong presence on the court.

New York fans like to see Li You defeat the opponent's core players. The only thing that makes everyone regretful is that there are too few strong players who challenge Li You.

After several years of brutal beating in the Eastern Conference, most of the players are numb.

Perhaps only when the newbies from the 03 class grow up and Li You becomes an old man can we see the scene that some Lezi fans are looking forward to.

It was a rare occasion for him to attend the press conference. When Li You walked to the stage wearing a black formal suit and white shoes, many media reporters clicked their cameras again.

The reporter of the New York Times did not discuss the outcome of tonight's game too much. In everyone's opinion, the 76ers just gave away the result:

"Li, we noticed that Red Football Capital seems to have launched an acquisition of Manchester United Club again."

"There was a huge reaction from fans in the UK and there was a fan protest at Old Trafford."

"Does this mean the acquisition will fail?"

The fans were no longer satisfied with NBA news. Li You touched his chin. He didn’t expect the New York reporter to be so well-informed:

"Of course I won't give up on the acquisition, the British fans just don't understand me."

"Acquisition will be a long process. All I have to do is stay patient. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared!"

The New York Post reporter is more concerned about Li You’s recent defense:

"Li, can you talk about your performance on the defensive end in the new season?"

"In several games, you have limited your opponent's scoring to less than 20 points. Such a performance is really outstanding!"

"Ron's performance is better, everyone can pay attention to his performance."

Li You stood up for his teammates as always. He did work hard on the defensive end, but there was no complicated reason. When he heard that everyone was still praising his defense, he felt dumbfounded:

"I just want to have more fun"
