NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 421 It’s also wrong for teammates to be too strong (daily chapter)

Rockets fans encountered an embarrassing situation after All-Star voting began in Houston.

As the host nation, Mutombo's championship experience didn't play much role after the start of the new season, and they almost lost.
McGrady returned from injury in the last game in November, but unexpectedly lost to the Grizzlies in the first game in December. The team's record came to 11 wins and 12 losses.

Rockets fans almost thought they were going to swoop in for the top pick. Fortunately, the "Yao-Mai" combination played steadily afterwards, and the team was stable.

Mike Brown also survived the dismissal crisis. Brown bread was almost sprayed by the media and fans. Such a record did not meet expectations at all.

On Saturday, December 12th, the Rockets ushered in back-to-back away games.

After Maggette was confirmed to be absent, fans thought they could continue their victory, but the Rockets unexpectedly lost.

At 81:89, in the second half, led by McGrady's 12 of 2, the Clippers had the last laugh.

出场45分钟，28中12，三分线外8中2，罚球3中3，29分7篮板7助攻4失误；

McGrady, who scored the highest score in the game, took the initiative to take the blame when he attended the press conference after the game, but then complained a few times:

Under the advice of Phil Jackson, Kobe also shared the ball. He made 13 of 6 tonight, 3 of 1 from beyond the arc, and 12 of 11 free throws, contributing a game-high 24 points.

The public opinion environment is too friendly to GOAT, and some games were visibly fishy. However, football commentators labeled Li You a "selfless leader."

"Not every player is as lucky as Lee. He always has qualified helpers around him."

背靠背出场35分钟，麦克格雷迪16中6，三分线5中1，罚球8中7，贡献了全队最高的20分。

After losing, the Rockets' record is still negative, and according to the current trend, the playoffs are in doubt.

Contrary to the expectations of ball commentators, the Cavaliers and Pacers squeezed into the top half, surpassing the Heat.

Fortunately, David Wesley suddenly broke out in the third quarter and led the team to 3:34 in a single quarter.

On Saturday, it was Jeff Van Gundy who handed Pat Riley his first defeat!
104:116，骑士队主场小胜热火队，勒布朗-詹姆斯火力全开，砍下41分5篮板10助攻1抢断4失误的两双数据。

After the game, the sports media in Los Angeles were a little disappointed. Compared with the previous years when they dominated the Western Conference, the team's strength has dropped significantly.

Stan Van Gundy, who left the team, did not say anything bad about the oil man, but he also had a temper. In an interview, he made a vague statement:
"I won't go back to the Heat's home games this season. If I watch it on TV, I might pay attention to the Knicks or Cavaliers."

100:97, relying on Payton and Wade's free throws at the last moment, Pat Riley ushered in his first victory since his comeback.

ESPN predicted as early as the offseason that the oil man would take over the team, and football commentator Ramsey stated his position in public more than once:
"Pat Riley was eager to take action in the offseason. He wanted to intervene more in the team. He even hinted at Stan some things, and now you see the results."

Except for Payton's welcome, Wade, O'Neal and others did not express their opinions on the matter. Pat Riley, who took over the team, was very calm.

Hitting a buzzer-beating jumper with 0.3 seconds left. As Smush Parker missed the jumper, the Rockets beat the Lakers!
At 76:74, at the end of the game, McGrady and his teammates hugged each other, and Yao Ming, who was absent due to injury, also celebrated happily.

Perhaps it’s because McGrady always likes “IF”. When the ESPN reporter thought about the data, he joked again:
"If Lee makes 12 of 2 in the half, maybe he won't win 7 championships. Tracy, where do you think the gap between you and Lee is?"

After ending their road trip in the Western Conference, the Knicks unexpectedly lost to the Bucks. Their 10-game winning streak was ended, and their record came to 21 wins and 2 losses.

"That's when I knew I had to take on greater responsibility in the team."

"Everything has to start from scratch. If I want to change myself, I have to give up something."

"If the Rockets had that much depth, I wouldn't take so many shots."

Both fragrant and stinky is the true performance of the second player who has passed tonight, but victory is real. In the top ten goals tomorrow, fans can see McGrady's dashing figure again.

Sending out 6 assists but making 3 turnovers, Kobe did not make excuses when faced with questions from media reporters. He just pursed his lips and said angrily:
"We shouldn't lose this way, I will continue to take action, whatever you say!"

After returning from injury, McGrady is one of the "brushes". Others who enjoy the same treatment as him are New York's old friends Iverson and Kobe Bryant.

The Pistons are still close behind, ranking second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 19 wins and 4 losses.

In the first game back on the sidelines, the Heat challenged the Bulls away from home, and the two sides did not decide the winner until the last moment.

In the last quarter of the game, the Rockets struggled to score, and the Lakers struggled to catch up, but Kobe had poor touch, and finally relied on Kwame Brown's steal to tie the score.

Neither denying nor admitting, Pat Riley gave his answer to Stan Van Gundy's departure in an understatement.

Hearing McGrady start to quibble again and once again talk about his status as the "second man" in his peak season, the Staples press conference room was filled with joy for a while.

Data tables, who cares?
The Lakers lost, and their record reached 13 wins and 11 losses. Kobe, who was defeated by the game, had a long face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Without looking at his teammates and coaches, he said hello angrily and turned away.

"Enjoying the dividends of the new rules, data brushes are destroying pure basketball!"

At the same venue, McGrady stretched his hips again that night and went 8-for-2 in the first half, leading the Rockets to trail by double digits 31:42.

O'Neal's weight has soared again after returning from injury. In this regard, Pat Riley also promised Heat fans:
"We have helped Shaq develop a weight loss plan, and his weight will be back to 320 pounds, which is what I want him to do."

With 19.4 seconds left in the game, the Rockets made their final attack, but McGrady, who had not scored in a sports game in four quarters, failed to live up to the trust of his teammates again.

No one believed this reason, but we were all decent people, so picking peaches could be ignored. After all, the champion coach had more face.

On Sunday the 18th, the Rockets will face the Lakers again.

"I am the best player in the league, but that doesn't mean I can win. Basketball is for five people."

"In October, I received a call from Stan."

Facing the media reporters, Pat Riley's oily hair was even more shiny. Except for the tight tie, there was no flaw in his appearance.

In mid-December, Stan Van Gundy dismissed get out of class. As O'Neal officially returned from injury, Pat Riley began to take over the team.

"Look at our record in November. If Lee misses the game, the Knicks can still win. You will only criticize the players but ignore the team environment."

Under the influence of the new rules, the statistics of many scorers exploded. As a result, the public opinion reversed. The New York media occasionally ridiculed everyone:

Since the Knicks have too many players in the new season, Li You's playing time and statistics have begun to decline, almost returning to the level of the 03-04 season.

After the game, the sports media gloated, and ESPN even joked:
"This is the revenge of the Van Gundy brothers."

Jeff Van Gundy was in high spirits after winning. Putting aside revenge for his brother, every time he defeated Pat Riley, he felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment:

"The Heat are good, but they can't win the championship."

"We are younger, healthier, and with a long regular season, the Cavaliers are more competitive."

"You should pay more attention to LeBron James, he will be as successful as Lee!"

Instead of bragging in business, Jeff Van Gundy acted like a championship coach and directly denied Pat Riley's peach-picking behavior.

After the weekend, the two sides started a war of words. The media in Cleveland and Miami each had their own opinions, saying that their home teams would eventually dominate the Eastern Conference.

On Tuesday the 20th, during lunch break at Happy Coffee Shop, No. 70 Pine Street, Li You came back here to have lunch.

Having just celebrated her 24th birthday not long ago, Kristen Ritter finally revitalized this unique cafe!

Perhaps it is indeed God's blessing. The pastry chef Gaya Oliveira, who was just hired from Boulud a few months ago, does have two brushes, and the snack cakes he made were very popular.

Near Wall Street, many financial practitioners come here to spend money, and coffee is also sold.

From the previous four-faced look to now focusing on snacks and coffee, the little follower is particularly proud of this. This is her most successful thing in the past few years.
The weather in Manhattan is still the same in December, and everyone has to put on coats. Christmas is approaching, and the city is as lively as ever.

During lunch time, the girls were in a corner of the store, and Kristen Little was wearing a slim-fitting blue turtleneck with a pair of black jeans.

He happily introduced the new products in the store to everyone, which was the taste that everyone suggested to improve.

With the blessing of Oliveira's craftsmanship, several macarons and Saint-Honoré puffs are more delicious than the previous popular products.

In order to stay in shape, Ivana could only control her food intake, but Milinda tasted a little of everything and shared many delicious foods with a smile.

Kim and Scarlett are still in the postpartum recovery period, spending most of their time at home and having to control their diet.

After becoming a mother at the age of 21, Scarlett was still the same as before. When she saw the three people eating happily, she couldn't help but said in a low voice:
"Three months, I haven't eaten the food I like for a long time."

Kristen Ritter, who was in a good mood, seemed to have forgotten that someone was still unclear about the situation, and blurted out:
"Didn't you say you like breast milk the most?"

Jin's face on the other side turned red instantly. Scarlett subconsciously looked around, but Ivana was the only one who didn't know why. At this time, she subconsciously asked:
"Breastfeeding? It seems to affect the breasts."

Ivana, who turned into a blonde with big waves, didn't know about the ridiculous attempts of several people, and thought that Scarlett had made a sacrifice for the sake of the child.
Li You coughed lightly, quickly changed the subject, and whispered to the confused blond white rabbit beside him:
"With natural gas prices falling, Amaranth's energy investments are having problems and they don't expect price fluctuations until March next year."

"If current trends continue, their losses are likely to exceed 50%. The Wall Street Journal reported this, and the actual situation is even worse."

“If you need relevant practitioners, you can start poaching them now.”

Akers Capital's "neighbor" has assets under control of nearly $100 billion. This emerging large hedge fund has attracted a lot of talent in recent years.

A plan has been made for the other party's bankruptcy. Before that, Li You didn't mind sharing some inside information.

She is still responsible for the apartment project with her brother. Although it involves some real estate finance, Ivana can only shake her head when thinking of her powerful father:

"I don't know, but I can ask my family in advance. Our salary is not high and we don't have many management positions."

Although Donald has become very famous in recent years, his wealth has not grown rapidly. Compared with Mayor Bloomberg, it is simply a slow pace.
Without much power in her hands, Milinda did not make things difficult for the other party and chatted about light gossip:
"Will you be participating in the recording of the next season of The Apprentice? NBC seems to be warming up for the show."

Soon Ivana started chatting about the show gossip. Compared to boring work, she actually likes a hedonistic life.

After adjusting her mood, Jin noticed that Li You was staring at her, and her face turned red for a moment. Worried about talking about private topics, she immediately whispered:
"I'm always watching the Securities Commission."

Li You shook his head. When he returned to Manhattan recently, he took the two of them out for some fresh air. Compared to work matters, he paid more attention to personal emotions:

"Next summer, we can go back to New Mexico and visit your mother."

The young girl didn't think so much. After hearing Li You's words, Scarlett immediately reminded:

"Yacht, honey, our custom-built yacht!"

Scarlett, whose bust was two circles bigger, couldn't forget the yacht she spent a lot of time on, and the topic soon turned to where to travel on a yacht.

A few people were chattering away, and Li You sat back in his chair, feeling that this was the proper pace of life:
"After playing basketball for so many years, can't you just enjoy it?"

"."

On the night of the 20th, Kobe's dedication to basketball finally paid off.

With 18 wins and 6 losses, the Mavericks had another perfect start, but when they challenged the Lakers away from home, they witnessed an outrageous moment.

半场44:53，小牛队落后9分，但随着第3节17:42，斯台普斯球馆就沸腾了。

单节13中7，三分线外6中2，罚球16中14，科比在第3节砍下30分，三节比赛怒砍62分！
Personally scoring more than the entire Mavericks team, Lakers fans finally shouted "MVP" for Kobe!
With the huge score difference, Kobe chose to sit on the bench in the 4th quarter.

After being defeated by the Rockets, Kobe didn't pass the ball again in tonight's game. Kobe finally let out a sigh of relief, and his depression was much less.

After the game, Lakers fans once again applauded Kobe in Staples Arena, and the cheers and shouts were also endless.

The Mavericks surrendered early, with most players playing less than 30 minutes. Nowitzki also lamented in an interview:

"Incredible, Kobe was unstoppable tonight. In my opinion, Kobe is the best scorer in the league!"

出场33分钟，31中18，三分线外10中4，罚球25中22，62分8篮板3抢断2失误；

Regarding Kobe's outstanding performance, Phil Jackson did not hesitate to praise him. He no longer ridiculed in a weird way, but said sincerely:
"Great performance, you must know that this is not his upper limit. There is no doubt that Kobe is the strongest scorer in the league this season!"

"Kobe dedicated himself to basketball, he deserves an MVP!"

On the 21st, Kobe Bryant's 62 points in three quarters swept the major sports media. His personal score exceeded that of the entire Mavericks team. People who watched it found it incredible.

The charm of data is endless. In the new season, he scored consecutive points and set a career high. Kobe's reputation finally began to change, and the bad thing about illegal invasion was also left behind by the media.

At the same time, during the MVP selection, ball commentators also began to speak out for Kobe. Such a crazy personal performance deserves recognition! In the afternoon TNT program, the trio also followed suit, but when they talked about the MVP award, differences eventually emerged.

The Spurs currently have a record of 19 wins and 6 losses. Duncan beats Li You and ranks first on the MVP candidate list.

The list does have some sympathy, but the Spurs have a good record. Garnett has won awards in the past, and Duncan naturally has great hope this year.

"No one stipulates that the team with the better record should win the award. Duncan is excellent, but after the start of the new season, Kobe's performance was incredible."

"With 62 points, Kobe defeated the Mavericks alone. This is the craziest individual scoring show I have ever witnessed!"

In the studio, Charles Barkley shouted loudly. Not long ago, he derogated Kobe Bryant as a cancer, but now he wanted to send the MVP to his arms.

Kenny Smith was not so excited. Although he also followed the boast, he retained his rationality when discussing the award:

"The Lakers' record makes it difficult for Kobe to be too competitive, and his performance is not stable. This is not what a championship team should look like."

"The Knicks, Pistons, Spurs, and Mavericks are the four teams with better records, and I tend to choose players from among them."

Since there are no fixed criteria for award selection, Charles Barkley retorted confidently:
"One thing we have to realize is that not every player is as lucky as Lee."

"Looking at the Knicks' roster, they have guys off the bench who could even be starters on some teams."

"Look at the Lakers, the gap between the two sides is too big! I know it will be difficult for Kobe to lead the team to win the championship, but his personal performance this year is really outstanding."

Regarding this issue, Ernie Johnson can hardly refute. In terms of lineup depth, the Knicks are naturally second to none, and the high luxury tax is not in vain:

"In terms of personal performance, Li is not bad, and Duncan is also very good."

"In the MVP selection, I will still vote for Duncan. After all, they are No. 1 in the Western Conference and their record far exceeds the Lakers."

Both partners opened their mouths to retort. Charles Barkley sighed and then said seriously:

"We should encourage pure basketball players. Kobe has been training throughout the offseason. 62 points is God's response."

"When it comes to personal data, no one can compare to Kobe."

Kenny Smith has a weird look on his face. In the past, his old partner did not like to use data to evaluate football. As a result, his tone changed suddenly in the new season:

"Chuck, I need to remind you that Lee is currently averaging 31.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.6 steals per game."

"No one can match his efficiency. He leads the league in basic statistics, assists and steals! If nothing else happens, his advanced statistics will continue to lead this year."

"If you only consider data, Lee should win the MVP award in recent years."

"If you want to win the award, your record should be at least similar to that of the Knicks. Unfortunately, the Lakers are not in the first tier at all."

Seeing the teasing looks from his two partners, Charles Barkley finally chose traffic and said with confidence:

"If Kobe and Lee were to switch teams, maybe the Lakers' record would be even worse!"

"Lee has never met a teammate like Kobe. He has never proven himself in this situation."

Everyone in the studio was speechless. These words left them unable to refute. The Knicks' lineup has always been the best in the league.

On the night of the 21st, after three days of rest, the Knicks ushered in the first game of the week.

The Nets currently have a record of 12 wins and 12 losses, falling out of the first tier. Kidd's magic is no longer there.

Repeatedly denying trade rumors about leaving the team, Kidd has repeatedly emphasized that he will stay in New Jersey until he brings a championship to the Nets.

Arriving at the familiar Madison Square Garden, Kidd's mood became worse and worse before the game started.

I don’t know where the “great artist” came from, but there is a cartoon image of him crying on the whiteboard.

As for the slogans on the whiteboard, they were even more disgusting. The friendliest one was "Welcome to the Knicks to play sixth man".
Regardless of the salary issue, New York fans do understand the game. Kidd is more suitable to lead the bench than Lao Yu, and he can also work seamlessly with Li You.

With the recent consecutive home games and the approaching Christmas, the New York fans at the scene were in high spirits and the arena was extremely noisy before the game even started.

Vince Carter looked serious. Since he was dubbed the "Black Mamba", he has untied his knot. He is full of firepower in the new season and seems to want to prove himself again.

Iverson bounced back this year and led Carter in the first round of All-Star voting.

Carter, who once almost won the vote, was naturally not satisfied with this result. He complained twice in a recent interview that it was not his fault that he left the Raptors.

When the referee called the two sides to the center of the field, Li You, who was in a good mood, greeted his old friends with a smile.

Jason Collins used to be a member of the Knicks' atmosphere team, and the big man naturally greeted him with a smile.

Kidd and Carter both had big faces. They were considered to have passed away. In addition, they had suffered from hemorrhoids in the past few years and they really didn't bother to call themselves brothers.

"Come on, Bro! I'm calling on the fans to vote for you!"

After Li You and Carter fist bumped, they leaned on their knees and chatted with each other. Kidd knew his situation and responded dryly:

"I don't care about the All-Star spot."

Carter remained silent. He didn't want to be a substitute in the All-Star Game. Naturally, he didn't want to take over his teammates' words at this time.

Artest has been keeping an eye on Carter. He doesn't mind serving as an All-Star substitute. In contrast, he is more worried about the coach's impression and letting Carter squeeze out his position.

The referee didn't pay attention to the chatter of several people and quickly threw the ball into the air. Gasol easily jumped to the ball.

Kidd, who has rich defensive experience, did not step forward to press. He noticed that Gasol stopped at the three-point line when the Knicks were passing halftime, and then chose to defend.

Trying to squeeze through the screen, Kidd continuously slid to the right. Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, leaned against the defense and suddenly accelerated. After the body collision, he immediately dribbled the ball behind his back.

After an emergency stop and switching to his right hand, Li You didn't wait for Kidd to defend again, and immediately circled the ball behind his back while sliding his body to the left.

In an instant, he moved out of the way and touched the ball again with his left hand. Li You shook off the defender and accelerated with a heavy shoulder.

Unable to secure the screen, Gasol followed suit and moved decisively into the paint, taking away the defense of the big man Collins.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Li You, who was close to the three-point line, stopped suddenly again and dribbled under his crotch to complete the change of direction.

Kidd, who was chasing after him, was attacked and his supporting foot was in front of the defense. Although he stopped in time to adjust his center of gravity, he was still squeezed by Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand.

Before Collins, who had just retreated to the paint, could react, Li You was already chasing him from behind.

Under the cover of Gasol's body, Li You easily broke through to the lower right side of the basket, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and succeeded in picking up the basket with one hand!
The cheers resounded throughout the stadium as he passed the ball cleanly. Kidd, who was parked in the paint area, showed a helpless expression on his face. He just felt that his opponent was stronger.
The injury in the preseason seemed to have caused Kidd to lose part of his athletic ability. Li You watched the opponent deal the cards after halftime and joked:
"No wonder no one voted for you, you have to behave appropriately!"

In the past few years, even the coquettish passing has disappeared. Kidd, who has lost his ability, seems to have become the second Iverson, and he doesn't know when he will rise again.

Richard Jefferson used the big man's screen to bounce from the right side near the baseline to the elbow area on the same side. He made a simple roll cut and threw the ball!

The basketball bounced out of the frame, Kurt Thomas and Nenad Krstic struggled under the basket, and Gasol finally grabbed the rebound.

Seeing Li You receiving the ball and starting to accelerate, the Nets tried their best to retreat, but the big man was still lagging behind and couldn't keep up with the team's rhythm for a while.

Advancing with the ball in the middle, and approaching the three-point line at the top of the arc, Li You suddenly dribbled vigorously while holding the ball in his right hand.

The basketball was thrown forward, and then immediately bounced back into his hand. Kidd, who was chasing to his side, made a misjudgment. He thought it was a ground pass and moved upwards.

When he reacted, Li You accelerated a second time with the rebound of the basketball and squeezed past Kidd in the blink of an eye.

When they broke into the paint area, Carter and Jefferson, who had retreated from defense, shrank toward the basket at the same time. Before they could form a circle, Li You dumped the ball in advance.

The basketball flew straight to the left corner. Following the fast break, Artest received the ball without any defender and hit a three-point jumper.

In recent games, Li You has always been able to show off his fancy moves, which excited the New York fans at the scene.

The cheers that echoed throughout the arena made Kidd frown. He really didn't expect that as he grew older, Li You would become more and more playful.
The Nets attacked again, using the same tactics. As Jefferson hit the iron on the left elbow, the two people in the commentary box suddenly chatted about the recently hot topic:

"There's no doubt the Knicks are the better team, the guys are still on the rise, and I love seeing Lee share the ball!"

When Walter Frazier saw Li You handing over the ball after halftime, he praised him again, and Mike Breen also followed suit:

"Compared to Kobe's 62 points in the regular season, I still prefer to see Lee's 50+ points in the finals."

"Scoring is not difficult for Lee. Coach D'Antoni made the right choice to increase the rotation."

As soon as the two finished speaking, under the cover of Li You, Artest, who started from the left corner, received Gasol's pass on the left wing.

The defense did not explain clearly. When Jefferson tried to defend, it was already too late and he watched Artest score another three-pointer.

"Oh!"

At 0:8, cheers echoed throughout the arena again.

After hitting two three-pointers in the opening game, Artest, who was feeling hot, roared and then chased Carter with great energy.
Trying to use his teammates' cover to get rid of the defense, Carter was eventually entangled by Artest when he caught the ball in the right block.

D'Antoni, who was on the sidelines, saw Carter leaning towards the baseline and turning around to hit a fadeaway jumper. He immediately stood up and clapped his hands.

The Knicks once again launched a transition attack. Mustache put his hands in his pockets with a smile on his face, and watched Li You calling the pick-and-roll with a smile:

"Maybe I can win the best coach for another month!"

On December 12, at 23:92, the Knicks, who were full of energy, narrowly defeated the Nets and then faced the Jazz at home.

Ever since Deron Williams suffered a 58-year-old tragedy, the newbie has transformed into a determined Lee Woo-cheong.

Not only has he lost his previous unruly attitude, but whenever the media asks relevant questions, Delong will brag in a fancy way.

Recently, Kobe Bryant scored 62 points. As a former teammate, Fisher did not make sarcastic remarks, but followed up with praises.

When he came to the arena early in the afternoon to warm up, faced with the same problem, Deron seemed to have turned into a crazy fan and openly boasted:

"62 points? Lee scored 02 points in three quarters against the Rockets in 61!"

"He hit 13 three-pointers that game and only made 10 free throws."

"I don't know why everyone is surprised by Kobe's performance, Lee has done it a long time ago!"

The sports media are certainly aware of these data, but in the new season Li You always checks in at three quarters, so of course everyone has to praise the lone hero Kobe more.

The New York Times reporter was very satisfied with Mengxin’s attitude. He noticed that Coach Sloan was paying attention to this area and took the time to ask:
"After playing against the two in the new season, who do you think is the better scorer, Kobe or Lee?"

Although he noticed that his teammates had come to his side, Deron still continued to blow unswervingly:
"I won't define Lee as a scorer, Point God! This is Lee, he can control the game!"

"Kobe is very good, but no one is afraid of him. His influence on the game is limited, and basketball is for five people."

"If Lee averaged 30 shots per game, his data would be better! But he didn't do that. Lee has been guiding point guards like me."

"."

Matt Halprin and Memit Okur, who came to the side, looked confused. Although they had read many reports, they did not expect that this newbie could boast so well!

Later when the Knicks were warming up, Li You didn't know that Deron had "surrendered". He liked the opponent's unruly look.

After returning to the home court, with the support of the fans, everyone was very motivated. Sensing the emotions of his teammates, Li You naturally wanted to give some guidance:
"Ron, Bell, continue to teach that boy a lesson tonight!"

"Don't let him score easily after switching defenses!"

The crowd cheered, and Li You, who was batting the ball, wandered around the field with a smile. The two people who received the instructions naturally agreed. Artest shouted with full motivation:

"This is New York, don't let him have an easy time tonight!"
