NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 94 Whose Team Is This ([-]D Chapter)
On November 1997, 11, after the end of the game with the Suns, the Knicks successfully defeated their opponents and achieved 30 consecutive victories.

After tying the 93-94 season and the Rockets' opening winning streak, the team did not get a metaphysical bonus, but suffered injuries.

The tainted milk of the New York media finally broke out. At the press conference after the game, Jeff Van Gundy looked ugly, and the layoffs at the beginning of the season did not meet the expectations of the coaching staff.

What's more terrible is that the team is still in the run-in period, and it is almost impossible to count on Chris Dudley in the bench lineup to shoulder the heavy responsibility of rebounding.

At the post-match press conference, the New York media, who were crazy about poisonous milk, were silent at this time, and could only simply ask:
"Jeff, it's unfortunate, can you talk about Pat's injury? How many games will he miss."

It is rare that the New York Post did not make things difficult for the bald young marshal and asked questions that everyone wanted to know.

"I don't know yet, the medical team has not been able to give an accurate answer, but we have to prepare for the worst!"

"Maybe Pat will miss the rest of the regular season. All I can say is, this injury is really serious."

"Oh!"

The media in the audience whispered, although everyone consumes gorillas from time to time, but Ewing has played for New York for 11 seasons after all.

The gorilla has accompanied the youth of many New York fans, and during these 11 years, it has also continuously provided news materials for some unscrupulous reporters.

There have never been too many problems with attendance in the past, and no one expected Ewing to be so seriously injured!

Jeff Van Gundy, who was in a bad mood, put on a face and began to wander. Without Ewing, what should the interior defense do?
On December 12, the Knicks officially announced Ewing's injury:

"Broken right wrist, torn ligament"

Fortunately, the gorilla's wrist did not injure a nerve, and the ligament was also partially torn.

But considering that the 35-year-old injured the shooting hand, the media in New York all looked down on the gorilla, and concluded by the way:
"The Patrick Ewing era of the Knicks is over"

NBA联盟在上午公布了97~98赛季首个月最佳球员，在11月取得了14胜0负战绩，带领尼克斯队成功登顶的尤因成功拿奖：
场均出场32.1分钟，场均拿到20.4分10.1篮板1.5助攻2.2盖帽2.5失误；

He shot 50.4% from the field and 72.0% from the free throw line. With an average of 15.5 shots per game, Ewing was still very efficient in November!

It is rare to get the best of the month, but the gorilla cannot accept the award in person.

After Ewing was injured, he was transferred to the New York Hospital for Special Surgery. In the morning, Li You and his teammates went to visit the gorilla who had completed the operation:
"Pat, don't worry about your wrist problem. Didn't the doctor say you didn't hurt your nerves? Rest easy and heal!"

Oakley sighed endlessly in his heart, but on the surface he only showed a look of concern.

The old guy felt the same way, but fortunately, Ewing signed a big contract this year, and the second half of his career is guaranteed.

Seeing Ewing's right wrist was tightly wrapped and lying listlessly on the hospital bed, Oakley strengthened his idea of ​​pursuing a big contract.

"Damn the injury, I just supported my body with my right hand!"

The gorilla knew that his wife Rita and the child were also in the ward, so he didn't yell or curse, but complained very toughly.

Li You put aside the trophy for the best player of the month, and everyone in the atmosphere group didn't say a word, and everyone silently looked at the unlucky Ewing.

The last thing a player wants to face is an injury. No one wants to see a serious injury. After leaving the hospital, Larry Johnson was also a little bit embarrassed:

"A serious injury at the age of 35, it may be difficult for Pat to return to his previous state."

"Auntie"'s back injury still occurs from time to time until now, but there are some minor physical conditions, and Larry Johnson still insists on playing.

Alan Houston didn't expect Ewing's injury to be so serious. He pulled his tie and said helplessly in a low voice:

"This illness is really not the right time. Pat is really unlucky. The team is in good shape and just won the best of the month. I thought he would play at his peak again."

At this time, Li You also felt the importance of a big contract. Regardless of Ewing's physical condition in the future, there will be a beautiful knife as a guarantee:

"As long as the rehab is patient and done, Pat will get back into shape."

When the old guys heard Li You's comfort, they could only nod silently, but everyone knew in their hearts:

"Ewing's era is likely to end."

"."

There is no suspense for the Rookie of the Month in November, Tim Duncan of the Spurs successfully won the award!

The Spurs achieved a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, and Duncan started all 14 games;
场均出场35.4分钟，场均贡献15.2分11.2篮板1.9助攻2.6盖帽3.3失误；

He averaged 11.9 shots per game, shooting 55.8% from the field, averaging 4.3 free throws per game, and shooting 46.9% from the field.

Since the Knicks will fly to the west to play away games next, the coaching staff will naturally pay attention to the state of the next opponent, the Spurs.

With the Rookie of the Month award, Duncan didn't look like a rookie at all, and the twin-tower lineup with David Robinson has been quite effective.

"Pat just got injured, and we have to face the Spurs in the Twin Towers."

Assistant coach Thibodeau glanced at the Spurs' technical statistics, and couldn't help rubbing the center of his eyebrows. There was a high probability that he couldn't hold back the rebounds.

"We also have an advantage. The Spurs' perimeter is far behind ours. If we shrink our defense, there will be no major problems."

Assistant coach Don Chaney is more optimistic. In his opinion, the Spurs refuse to shoot from outside. Even if there is an extra big man, it will not change anything.

After a brief discussion, everyone started to pack their things, and the Knicks will leave for San Antonio in the afternoon.

Jeff Van Gundy was not in a good mood, and kept silent with his face pulled.

The situation in the Knicks team is not complicated, old players and new players compete for data.

After staying in the Knicks for many years, Jeff Van Gundy is naturally on the side of the old players. If he serves Ewing well, he can keep his job and at the same time guarantee the lower limit of the team's record.

After witnessing Old Nelson being kicked out, the bald young commander lay flat.

The rise of Li You made Jeff Van Gundy hang up frequently. Now without Ewing's restraint, the prestige of the head coach can no longer be raised
11月份，李佑场均出场29.0分钟，场均拿到16.9分2.3篮板9.8助攻1.5抢断2.0失误；

He averaged 11.5 shots per game, shooting 47.71% from the field, 5.9 shots from beyond the three-point line, 42.8% from three-pointers, 4.1 free throws per game, and 88.2% from free throws.

Li You's extremely efficient top point guard data left Jeff Van Gundy speechless. Seeing this Excel that was infinitely close to a double-double, he had no choice but to think:
"How do you command a player like that?"

On the morning of December 12, everyone from the Knicks arrived in San Antonio.

When we were having breakfast at the hotel, everyone began to gossip:
"Sprewell is crazy? He actually locked the head coach?"

The atmosphere group was gossiping about the news in the morning. This was a big event, and it directly ignited the major sports media.

Warriors All-Star guard Latrell Sprewell chokes head coach PJ Carlesimo during practice.

The media followed up with hype, claiming that the chokehold lasted more than 10 seconds, and Coach Carlesimo almost went to see God on the spot!
Such bad behavior naturally made the Warriors management furious, and immediately announced that Sprewell was suspended for 68 games.

The Warriors have just 68 games left in the regular season, which means the All-Star guard's schedule for the season is all over.

Jeff Van Gundy ate his breakfast silently, and the bald young marshal always felt that Li You and Larry Johnson were looking at him from time to time.

Thinking of "Big Mom" ​​practicing boxing every day, Jeff Van Gundy's mouth twitched:
"NBA head coaching is indeed a high-risk profession."

After Tim Duncan joined the team, the Alamo Dome expanded from time to time to open up more seats.

On the night of the 2nd, more than 3 spectators flooded into the Alamo Dome.

Although the center-forward duel is no longer available, fans who like to watch fun buy tickets to watch the game to witness the Spurs end the Knicks' winning streak!

Of course, some Knicks fans bought tickets to watch the game to witness the birth of a new record.

Popovich, a rookie coach, is not qualified to speak harshly and brag X. Jeff Van Gundy has the best coach in the league, and he is no longer a rookie.

In an interview before the game, David Robinson did not talk about the outcome of the game, but sent blessings to Ewing:

"Pat is a good man, it's a pity he suffered a serious injury, hope he can recover as soon as possible!"

"."

This should have been a center-forward matchup broadcast live across the United States by TNT.

In the on-site commentary booth, after the two teams finished their appearance ceremonies, Dick Stockton felt the atmosphere of the scene was completely different from last year, and immediately joked with a smile:
"The Tim Duncan effect, you can tell the San Antonio fans love the big man!"

Hubie Brown looked at the technical statistics, and then said aloud:

"In the games against the Jazz and the Supersonics, Duncan did not perform well. In the last few games, he scored in single digits."

"Maybe he encountered a rookie wall, but Duncan's rebounding has been doing well, which is difficult for the Knicks to deal with. The Spurs have a huge height advantage inside."

The Spurs' twin-tower lineup also made Dick Stockton nod frequently. Noticing that the starting lineup has not changed, he immediately introduced:
"The Spurs still have Avery Johnson and Vinnie DeNagro in the backcourt, Sean Elliott and Tim Duncan up front, and David Robinson at center."

"The Knicks, Buck Williams came to the starting lineup, it seems that coach Van Gundy still trusts the veteran more."

The players from both sides completed the final warm-up and came to the center circle. After a brief greeting, everyone on the Knicks team was ready to retreat, and there was no suspense about the jump ball.
David Robinson jumped to possession easily and Johnson dribbled across half court.

The two sides also played against each other last season, and watched a lot of Spurs game videos before the game. Li You did not choose to stick to the defense, but stayed inside the three-point line, waiting for the opponent to launch tactics.

Coming to the right flank, noticing Li You's defensive position, Johnson immediately signaled that David Robinson needed a deeper position.

Noticing his teammate arched low, Johnson took a few steps forward and then sent a lob pass.

After completing the pass, Johnson, nicknamed "Little General", began to direct his teammates to pull away, and at the same time signaled Duncan to go inside.

Simple and rude attack, David Robinson did not wait for Li You to help defend, put his right hand behind the ball, hit it, then immediately turned to the bottom line, took advantage of the height, and made a quick jump shot!
"state!"

As soon as the basketball came out of the frame, David Robinson arched to the inside and got a rebound on the head of veteran Buck Williams.

The basket was placed under the basket, and David Robinson, who was disturbed, still failed to complete the attack. The basketball hit the basket again. At the bottom right of the basket, Tim Duncan saw the timing and grabbed the rebound behind Oakley!
The same is to put the basket quickly, but the basketball hits the frame again
"Oh!!"

After two consecutive tip-ups, the Spurs fans on the scene exclaimed, and soon everyone saw that Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound again, but before he released the ball, Li You, who rushed in from the outside, hit his head and covered his face. cap!
"squeak!!"

The referee immediately whistled Li You for a thug foul, and the Alamo Dome was immediately booed.

Oakley glared at Duncan with an ugly face, and then shook hands with Li You.

Li Youquan has a solid big hat on his hands.
Duncan, who was shaking his hands, stood on the free throw line, hit the iron for the first free throw, and aimed for a while for the second free throw, but it turned out to be iron again.

"state!"

The rebound popped out, and the veteran Buck Williams even pulled and dragged David Robinson behind him. Oakley blocked Duncan for the first time, and finally Larry Johnson received the rebound.

"Auntie" turned around and threw the ball to Li You, who was on the right wing outside the three-point line, and the Knicks immediately launched a conversion attack.

Along the right sideline, Li You, who is holding the ball in his right hand, keeps accelerating. The Spurs seem to have been prepared for a long time, and the speed of retreating is very fast.

David Robinson has not yet returned to his best physical condition despite the injury, but the center has the same speed as the guard at this time, returning to the paint in a few strides
Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied with the speed of the team's defensive retreat this time, and clapped his hands loudly to call for the players to quickly match up.

On the right flank, approaching the three-point line, Li You started to slow down, turned his head to look at the top of the arc, noticed that Oakley and Buck Williams had also rushed to the half court, and immediately dribbled behind his back.

The moment he switched to his left hand, Li You lowered his body's center of gravity, misdirected his body to the right and probed, and Avery Johnson was shaken so that he subconsciously slid to the left.

Without giving the opponent too much time to react, Li You suddenly accelerated, took a big step forward with the ball in his left hand, suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and quickly shot a jumper after closing the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"Shh!"

The fans booed violently, and Popovich froze on the sidelines. He planned to direct the defense.
Rookie coaches always like to increase their sense of presence. Jeff Van Gundy is different. The bald young coach sat on the bench and didn't get up at all. He simply clapped his hands to show that the attack was beautiful.

Duncan was still stuck inside just now, and when he turned his head again, he found that the Knicks had retreated and the Spurs were about to kick the baseline.

Subconsciously looking at the bench, Duncan felt that this was very different from the game plan before the game, but no one gave him feedback
The Spurs' offense is still simply David Robinson singles.

A pass was received at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. After a simple tentative step, David Robinson made a pull-up jumper.

Can shoot and shoot, veteran Buck Williams is difficult to defend the general, and the speed of the two sides is not even on the same channel.

Everyone in the Knicks didn't care about the cheers on the scene, and continued to quickly throw the baseline ball. Li You was immediately defended by Avery Johnson this time.

The little general, who is less than 1 meters tall, is very aggressive defensively, showing a completely different defensive attitude from last season.

Li You, who had already adapted to this kind of defense, still accelerated his advance, turned around quickly, and rushed across the half court immediately after switching to his right hand.

Alan Houston quickly slipped across the baseline from right to left, and with the help of Buck Williams on the left baseline, quickly bounced out to the left block.

After arriving at the position, he suddenly stopped, pretending to turn his back to ask for the ball, and taking advantage of De Nagro's defense, Alan Houston accelerated again and quickly bounced out to the left flank.

Just after halftime, Li You at the top of the arc immediately sent a cross pass. Alan Houston received the ball without making too many adjustments, and threw it away!

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

6:2, two rounds, the Knicks lead by 4 points.

"It seems that the Knicks have completely changed their tactics, and Van Gundy intends to use outside offense to suppress the Spurs."

"Lee and Houston quickly entered the state after the opening, which is also a test for the Spurs."

Seeing the Knicks retreat quickly again, Hubie Brown smiled in the commentary, and the completely different game strategy is really interesting.

Dick Stockton noticed that Duncan was catching the ball in the left block. He wanted to comment, but Duncan didn't shake too much. After a tentative step, he pulled a jumper in front of Oakley!

"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance.

Duncan retreated quickly, and the Spurs also began to speed up the pace of the game.

After a few rounds, everyone on the Knicks quickly realized that they couldn't guard against David Robinson, and as soon as the opponent rushed inside, they would immediately foul.

The fans at the scene thought that David Robinson would dominate the inside, but as the game progressed, David Robinson turned over and hit the iron on a jumper, and then hit the iron on free throws.

Standing on the free throw line again, David Robinson made one of two free throws. The second free throw just hit the basket, and Oakley protected the backcourt rebound.

Li You received the pass, and Avery Johnson came up on defense.

Even if there were two rounds of iron strikes, Avery Johnson did not dare to be careless, and continued to give physical confrontation after posting defenses.

The Spurs, who retreated quickly, had already completed their defensive positioning and came to the left flank. Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, began to slow down while protecting the ball sideways.

Avery Johnson kept his hand on Li You's side, and at the same time kept interfering.

Ignoring the defense on his side, Li You, who was protecting the ball sideways, suddenly blasted the ball vigorously on the spot, twisted his body quickly, then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, grabbed the ball again with his left hand, and pressed his shoulder to break through.

On the left flank, Li You's sudden 45-degree cut immediately caused the Spurs to change their defensive formation. Duncan saw his teammates out of position, and quickly shrank into the paint on the left side near the baseline, blocking the breakthrough route.

Just approaching the left block, Li You suddenly stopped, blasted the ball on the spot again, then quickly dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand, and after switching to his right hand, he immediately accelerated and rushed into the paint area.

Completely losing his defensive position, Avery Johnson re-posted on the defense, but Li You carried him away with his body. Before the opponent could make a block, he shot with his right hand in the paint right in front of the basket.

"Shua!" The two-pointer went into the net hollowly.

"Brilliant offense! Lee managed to read the Spurs defense and scored easily!"

In the commentary, Dick Stockton praised loudly. The Knicks' offense is also very simple. There are no pick-and-rolls, covering jumpers, and singles with the ball.

Li You punched two punches higher than Avery Johnson, and there was a gap in body size between the two. Popovich on the sidelines reluctantly gave instructions and continued to throw the ball inside.

Avery Johnson was extremely annoyed after losing his defensive position for several consecutive rounds.

The intention of passing the ball to Duncan in this offense was too obvious. Avery Johnson sent a ground pass. The moment Duncan bent down to receive the ball, Li You, who quickly assisted in defense, cut it off vigorously.

Duncan, who wanted to bend down to fight for the ball, lost his center of gravity, immediately rushed to the street, and made a sudden mistake, which also caused a loophole in the Spurs' defense.

After completing the steal, Li You made a quick pass, and Alan Houston, who responded in the middle, received the ball and rushed across the half.

Delayed by Gnagro, he came to the left flank, and Alan Houston immediately gave the ball to Oakley, who was quickly following up in the middle.

After receiving the ball, the latter made an easy layup before Duncan returned to the defense.

At 16:12, the point difference returned to 4 points.

As Duncan received the ball from the left block and rushed to the basket and missed, Oakley received the rebound, and Li You rushed again in response, and the Spurs fans on the scene began to boo loudly.

David Robinson rushed into the paint again. Just as he stood firm, he looked up and saw Li You, the right winger, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, shaking off his teammate who was on defense. There was still a small step away from the three-point line. Throw it away
Duncan, who was still retreating, saw the basketball draw an arc and fall into the basket, subconsciously widened his eyes, and looked at his big brother.

"Exaggerated shooting distance! Lee made another conversion three-pointer!"

This season, the NBA has readjusted the three-point line distance from 6.7 meters to the previous 7.24 meters. Dick Stockton did not expect Li You to throw it so far.

Avery Johnson was also a little dazed. He thought that Li You stopped the ball outside the three-point line to organize an offense, but he made a wrong judgment and watched the shot.
At 19:12, the Knicks started to score quickly again.

With 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter, Popovich had no choice but to request a timeout. Whenever the Spurs approached the score, the Knicks could respond from the outside.

It was a good shot if the blind chicken threw it in. Li You hit the iron, and Jeff Van Gundy didn't stand up to dissuade him. Facts have proved that he was right again.

"Good job!"

Assistant coach Don Chaney patted Li You, who was walking to the bench, with a smile. In this lineup, only Larry Johnson can play in the low post. The offense is simple and the rhythm is fast.

5 of 3, Li You has already scored 8 points. After showing his aggressiveness, the opponent will definitely make a targeted defense, so he returned to the bench and immediately reminded:

"Pay attention to receiving the ball! Near the free throw line, there will be open opportunities!"

Oakley nodded, and was scored consecutively by the Spurs boy, so the offensive end naturally had to respond.

Jeff Van Gundy said a few words dryly, raising his sense of presence, and after the timeout ended, he started hosting again.

In the last few minutes, as Li You expected, Duncan and David Robinson began to help more defenses.

The two big men are not slow and very flexible, suitable for mopping up the defense. At this time, Li You no longer forced to attack, but after attracting the defense, he quickly gave the ball to the open space.

Duncan made another two-pointer after a tentative step in the left block. Looking back, Oakley made a false screen on the right elbow, and Duncan tried to cooperate with Avery Johnson to complete the defense.

But Li You's ball was faster, and before the two of them closed, he quickly hit the ground and passed the ball in the blocking area. In the elbow area, Oakley responded with a jumper.

Shrinking the defense naturally has to pay a price. Gnagro's iron tree blossomed and hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Before he had time to celebrate, Alan-Houston's right block position, back singles De Nagro responded.

By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs fans in the Alamo Dome fell silent.

At 27:20, the Knicks still led by 7 points.

"David Robinson is still recovering, 9 of 3, 9 of 4 free throws, 10 points, Tim Duncan 6 of 3, 6 points."

"The Spurs' role players failed to respond. Avery Johnson made 2 of 1 free throws and only scored 1 point."

Hubie Brown didn't expect the Spurs to fail to play a high advantage, and David Robinson was too inefficient in the face of flanking.

Tim Duncan played almost the entire first quarter, returned to the bench, and stared straight at Popovich.

Seen panicked, Popovich simply emphasized:
"The defensive game is just beginning!"

I thought the coaching staff would respond, but it turned out to be a cliché and emphasized defense. Tim Duncan frowned secretly, feeling that the rookie coach was still unreliable.

The Knicks were on the bench, and the rotation lineup was ready to debut. Alan Houston was in a good mood, and he took the initiative to give everyone a high-five:
"The starting lineup lost rebounds, but our rotation shouldn't lose points."

首节6中4，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，拿到11分的阿兰-休斯顿焕发出了不一样的活力。

Li You didn't look at the technical statistics, but David Robinson's free throw made a deep impression on him. After changing into the training uniform, he also teased in a low voice:

"Maybe the opponent will not shoot more than [-]% of their free throws tonight."

Easy scoring and fast-paced offense made the starting five feel comfortable. Even Oakley, who had committed two fouls, still had a smile on his face.

As Alan Houston predicted, the Spurs' rotation struggled to score, and Starks scored consecutively.

After hitting a chasing [-]-pointer on the counter, Starks roared and Popovich was forced to call for another timeout.

The game lasted 4 minutes and 01 seconds, and the Spurs only scored 2 points. At this time, the defensive cheers of the fans on the scene disappeared.

At 34:22, the point difference came to double digits.

Popovich thought he could use the twin towers to blow up the Knicks inside, but David Robinson was in poor form, and as the game progressed, his aggressiveness continued to decline.

Instead of aggressively attacking inside, he shot farther and farther, making free throws almost impossible.
"The Spurs can't just rely on Duncan and Robinson to play. It will shrink the Knicks defense."

"After Lee reappeared, he easily scored points on the outside for three consecutive rounds. Avery Johnson may have to pay attention to chasing and defending."

Hubie Brown saw the Knicks scoring with multiple players, and felt dull for a while. The Spurs have no tactical system and only big men can do it alone.
"This season can be regarded as Popovich's first season officially coaching the Spurs. The addition of Tim Duncan has strengthened the team."

"But at the moment, it seems that they need more time to adapt to each other."

When Dick Stockton saw Duncan standing on the free throw line in consecutive singles, he also sighed secretly, and could only score with free throws.

At 25:18 in a single quarter, after halftime, at 52:38, the Knicks entered the second half with a 14-point lead.

Duncan, who was walking towards the player tunnel, was still expressionless. There was a problem with his pre-match preparations, and he was completely confused in the first half.

After returning to the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy, who was in charge, saw everyone talking and laughing, and suddenly realized that Ewing's influence was not as great as he thought.

The team will lose rebounds, but relying on the current lineup, they will not be overwhelmed by the opponent.

The inside defense can't stand it, but it can quickly recover if it loses 2 points.

Without Ewing on the offensive end, Li You can drive other players after attacking with the ball to open up the situation.

After tidying up his coat, Jeff Van Gundy adjusted his mood, came to the locker room, knocked on the whiteboard, and said with a smile:
"Very good! We executed the game plan perfectly!"

"Keep this rhythm, don't relax in the second half, we will continue the record tonight!"

"."

In the second half of the game, the Spurs failed to come back against the wind. David Robinson kept making free throws and Tim Duncan kept scoring jumpers.

But the Knicks are +3 from time to time, and the point difference is always pulling back and forth around 10 points.

Li You did not give the Spurs any chance and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. With 2 minutes and 42 seconds left in the game, Popovich requested a timeout, replaced the atmosphere group, and announced that he had surrendered.

The Lezi fans who specially bought tickets to watch the game boasted wildly, bragging about the game for two or three days, and this is the result?
"Shhh!!"

In the Alamo Dome, the boos of more than 3 people made Popovich look ugly. The Spurs are not a three-point team, but they were taught a lesson by the Knicks tonight.

At 100:85, the atmosphere on the stage did not relax. In the end, the Knicks beat the Spurs.

In the TNT commentary booth, Hubie Brown praised the Knicks after hearing the director's prompt:

"In the 97-98 season, the Knicks won 16 consecutive victories after the start of the game, setting a new record!"

"Without Patrick Ewing, the team played a different style of the game, and everyone took the scoring responsibility."

"Coach Van Gundy made timely adjustments, and we must praise him and the coaching staff for their performance!"

Dick Stockton glanced at the stats and added cheerfully:
"About to turn 20, Lee has become the core of the current Knicks team!"

"Having seen this game, I will vote for him in this year's All-Star Game!"

"."

蒂姆-邓肯15中9，罚球8中5，砍下23分13篮板2助攻1失误；

大卫-罗宾逊18中6，罚球20中11，拿到23分14篮板1助攻1盖帽3失误。

At 37:44, the Knicks lost 7 rebounds, and the Spurs' twin towers worked together to get 8 offensive rebounds.

Back in the locker room, Li You took a look and put the technical statistics aside.

In an unequal game, the Spurs made 3 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, a fatal flaw.

Since the next game will continue to fly away, but fortunately the opponent is the Mavericks who have lost consecutively since the start of the war, the coaching staff is also relieved.

Jeff Van Gundy saw the stats early on:
17中8，三分线外8中4，罚球5中4，24分4篮板8助攻2抢断1失误，增加了出手数，李佑效率不减。

The bald young marshal has nothing to guide him, so he can only continue to give chicken soup after the game:
"Keep this state, now every time we win a game, we are creating new history!"

"."

In the absence of a gorilla, the Knicks broke the record, and the New York media raged again!

On the morning of December 12rd, New York fans were a little dazed when they saw the "best backcourt in the league" in the newspaper, but everyone soon agreed.

在和马刺队的比赛中，阿兰-休斯顿14中7，三分线外5中2，罚球4中4，高效拿到20分3篮板3助攻1失误的数据。

Coupled with Li You's 24 points, the two scored 44 points together, almost getting half of the Knicks' points.

Two days ago, he was still shouting "Fight for Ewing", but turned around and fiddled with "the strongest backcourt in the league".

The speed of liking the new and disliking the old is amazing!

Ewing, who was still recuperating in the hospital, was worried about the team's record at first, but after reading the newspaper, the gorilla was very angry.

Apparently the New York media was consuming him before. They deliberately sensationalized the past two days, but now they forget him as soon as they turn their heads.
On the night of December 12th, the Knicks once again gave the Mavericks a big defeat.

At 106:90, within three quarters, the Knicks easily clocked in.

The starting lineup played steadily. Chris Childs scored 11 of 7 from the bench and scored 16 points. Together with Starks' 13 points, the two supported the firepower of the rotation.

This is the first time Nelson has encountered his old team after taking over the Mavericks.

In two consecutive games, the Knicks have increased their number of rounds to 84. This game rhythm is almost exactly the same as the current Mavericks.

Seeing the updated Knicks, Nelson was in mixed feelings. If he had persisted for another year, he would have been the one to succeed.
With 17 consecutive victories, the Knicks' record continues!

On December 12, back at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks dominated the game on both offense and defense.

At 79:104, the first five Knicks scored in double figures and beat the Hornets again.

Before the game was over, Madison Square Garden was already boiling, and happy New York fans were happy to see the home team become the focus of the league.

The fans were extremely involved in tonight's game, and every goal can cause a huge noise.

Immediately after the game ended, Walter Fraser in a gray formal suit interviewed Li You again with a smile:
"18 consecutive victories, an incredible record! Lee, talk about the current state of the team! Will we continue to win?"

Wearing the home team's white training uniform, Li You answered confidently after hearing the question:

"Of course! Tomorrow night's back-to-back matches, we will still beat our opponents!"

"Pat is injured, everyone needs to take more responsibility, we have done this, as coach Van Gundy emphasized, we play for each other."

Mike Breen kept smiling. Tomorrow night, the Knicks will play back-to-back against the 4ers, who are currently 11 wins and 76 losses.

Considering the opponent's belly attributes, there is a high probability that the winning streak will continue:
"Can you talk about the team's perimeter offense? I've noticed that our possessions have gone up a lot."

Hearing Mike Breen's inquiry, Li You smiled and briefly introduced:

"More running off the ball, more screens, stretching the offensive space, in addition to outside shooting, Larry can also solve problems in the low post."

"Charles and Barker's rebounds are the biggest guarantee for us to win the game. There are times when pitchers are not in good shape, but everyone will not worry about this, because rebounds always belong to us."

The three of Li You laughed and bragged wildly on the sidelines, while Jeff Van Gundy looked complicated on the other side, and he lost control of the team again.
At the end of the game, the fans in Madison Square Garden were still cheering loudly, but Jeff Van Gundy felt dull at this moment:

"Whose team is this?"

On December 12, the Knicks ushered in back-to-back games at home.

It happened to be Sunday, and the supply of tickets was in short supply again, and the scalpers were all gone
The 76ers led by head coach Larry Brown just experienced a big loss.

In the first two days of the game, the 76ers were blown away by the Nets!

At 16:40, in the first quarter, the Nets scored 1 points.

In the end, 88:107, the 76ers lost by a big score.

After the game, Larry Brown was sprayed by the Philadelphia media.

The purpose of recruiting a famous coach is to win the championship, but the team's record is diving to the top.
Allen Iverson was in a sluggish state after the start of the game, and Larry Brown couldn't do anything about it.

In the game on the night of the 7th, Larry Brown also lost control of the team. Allen Iverson rushed after the opening and kept scoring points.

But as the game progressed, the 76ers made more and more mistakes. In the fourth quarter, they fell behind by 12 points without knowing it.

With 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the game, Larry Brown folded his arms on the sidelines, shook his head slightly, and requested a timeout.

But after the adjustment, the 76ers failed to respond on the defensive end, and finally lost the game silently.

At 93:105, the Knicks easily defeated their opponents and won 19 consecutive victories!

At 21:11, the 76ers paid the price for a large number of turnovers in a situation with similar rebounds.

Winning the ball was grinning, and Li You didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip about Iverson and Larry Brown. When he met a big team, he had to seize the opportunity and stabilize the abuse.

"Lee, here! Can you sign me?"

"Are we going to keep winning? Lee, I want to see the team keep winning!"

"I'll wait for you at the hotel, Li, don't forget me!"

"."

On both sides of the player tunnel, New York fans screamed. After Li You quickly signed, he left a smile on the red-haired tank, and hurriedly walked back to the locker room.
On December 12, the NBA announced the player of the week for the first week of December, and Li You of the Knicks successfully won the award:
本周比赛尼克斯队4胜0负，李佑场均出场35.3分钟，场均拿到24.8分4.0篮板9.3助攻2.0抢断2.2失误；

Regardless of the strength of the opponent or the small data sample, the New York media collectively climaxed!
"Club 180, number one point guard in the league!"
