NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 431 The Prophecy of the Champion Coach (8500 words chapter)
On Monday, February 2006, 2, the "Houston Chronicle" brought the latest news to the masses:
"Tracy McGrady is frustrated after the All-Star break and the coaching staff has allowed him to miss tomorrow's practice session due to personal family matters."

ESPN once again reviewed Sunday's All-Star Game, and also praised the performance of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade:
"The rise of the new generation of players, in Houston, we see the desire for expression among young people!"

詹姆斯和韦德两人都出场30分钟，一个砍下25分6篮板1助攻2抢断1失误，另一个拿到22分5篮板3助攻2失误。

114:124, the Eastern All-Star team crushed the whole game and won the game without any suspense.

LeBron James also won the first important award of his career. Last night, he held up the AMVP crystal trophy with a smile despite the boos of the Houston fans!
David Stern seemed to like seeing this scene. Li You, O'Neal, Garnett, and Kobe didn't steal the show, and young people began to dominate the All-Star Game.

After the game, many sports reporters gathered around McGrady, who scored a game-high 32 points, to take photos. The host looked particularly ugly and lost the trophy at his doorstep.

"When you have superstars like Lee and Shaq on the team, I can't think of a reason to lose!"

LeBron James, who was interviewed by TNT, said this and was recognized by ball commentators. The opposing lineup was not weak, but he made too many mistakes.

Garnett's 9-for-1 performance was simply a trophy performance. Kobe, who focused on passing the ball, seemed to just want to see his friend win the award. Instead, he was blown away by the serious Pistons.

Wade was just a hair away from winning the award. His status as a substitute limited him, and part of the reason was that James took the initiative to express his desire to win the award before the game.

Although he felt a little regretful, looking at his friends raising glasses, Wade smiled after the game and sent his blessings:

"The All-Star Game is our gift to the fans. I know that everyone doesn't want to watch a pure exhibition game, so everyone took the initiative to increase the intensity of the game."

"This is an award that LeBron deserves. He is the most active on the court. It's great to see him receive this honor!"

Fans who watched the TNT live broadcast last night, combined with ESPN's reports, felt that Wade and James had a hint of internal competition.

In contrast, the Western Conference All-Stars were indeed very harmonious and clearly wanted to help McGrady win the award. Unfortunately, they were not strong enough and 26 turnovers were the biggest reason for the loss.

The All-Star Game was broadcast during the day on the other side of the ocean. When the game ended, Sina Sports immediately updated the news:
"It's hard to show the style of the Western Conference vote king with 5 points!"

In 19 minutes of playing time, Yao Ming only scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. There was no "shark-Yao showdown". In the limited time, turning back and running was the epitome of this game.

After the game, Yao Ming didn't care about this, but McGrady's reaction was so big that he was surprised. He lost a small trophy and had the training session stopped?
On the afternoon of the 20th, the weather in New York was slightly warmer, but Fisher was a little distraught when he returned to Manhattan. He seemed to have met his "right one."

They got married in a low-key manner after the All-Star Weekend last year. His wife, Candace, is a round-faced black girl. They are very loving and they plan to have more children.

As a championship defender, Fisher is very popular. Not only does he serve as the vice president of the players union, but after last year's finals, he was also invited to participate in the 25th season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars".

The dancer he was partnering with at the time was Shanna Burgess, who withstood the test of the "Wives and Sons Dance". Fisher considered himself a good family man!
Until this All-Star weekend he saw Matt Barnes' new girlfriend Gloria Govan.

Gloria, who works in New York, has good looks and a hot figure. At the party hosted by LeBron James on Sunday night, Fisher completely understood why Li You would not get married.
Barnes can also be regarded as a winner in life. Although his playing time has been compressed this season, in the past few years he has been in New York, the girls around him have never stopped.

In the past, Fisher didn't care. He liked to stay with the family. Now he has a different idea. He wants to help Barnes get a better life!
After Gasol and Diaw came to New York, they settled in the small town of Tarrytown. In addition to the convenience of training, the environment with a strong "artistic atmosphere" was deeply loved by the two.

Fisher is different. His wife Candace prefers the lively environment of big cities. After the two got married, they bought a not-so-large apartment in Manhattan.

The environment at home was dominated by warm colors. After lunch, Candace didn't notice that her husband was distracted with the newspaper. The TV was broadcasting Donald's open letter to humiliate producer Martha Stewart.

"That's why I love New York, we always have fun so easily. Honey, are Lee and Ivana still dating? Don Juan shouldn't be complaining, his show sucks."

Candace was sitting on the sofa, giggling while watching the reports on TV. She had just received a beautiful necklace for their first wedding anniversary not long ago. She was very satisfied with her current life.

After waking up from Gloria's fantasy of flaming red lips, Fisher gathered his thoughts and simply followed his wife's words:

"Maybe they are already a family and I wouldn't be surprised if they have children!"

"How about we go back to Los Angeles next year, it's so cold here!"

Candace showed a surprised look. After winning the championship last season, Fisher still shouted that this was the last stop of his career:
"Why? You have enough playing time here. Just train on time every day. No one is competing with you for your position. The most important thing is that the team will provide you with a big contract."

Naturally, Fisher would not say what was in his heart. He sat next to his wife and introduced his plan seriously:
"When I was in Houston, I talked with Kobe. He wanted me to help him, and the Lakers could also provide me with a six-year long-term contract."

"When I return to Los Angeles, I will become a starter. The fans there like me more and I want to share my experience with them."

"Don't you always miss the weather in Los Angeles? For the sake of our children, I am willing to go back!"

Candace is still a little nostalgic for life in New York, but when she heard about the children, the round-faced girl smiled. Being tired from logging is the most important thing!

After Fisher noticed his wife's mood, he knew that the matter was stable. Thinking of his own plan, he silently planned in his heart:

"Barnes will also love Los Angeles."

Li You, who returned to Manhattan, naturally did not expect the chain reaction caused by a woman. On Valentine's Day, the girls all flew to the Netherlands to inspect the yacht.

In addition to Kim, who has returned to work, and Scarlett, who has just participated in "The Tonight Show," there are two little guys accompanying the three of them in the big house in Manhattan.

Taking care of children is a troublesome thing, but fortunately, money can solve part of the problem.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Jin, who was wearing pajamas, smiled when she saw the little one sleeping soundly without crying or fussing. This was easier than she expected.

As a mother, I am also a little worried. The little guy named Alvin seems to be too quiet. He has not cried much in the past few months and sleeps when he is full.
From time to time, she would pinch the little guy's chubby little face. Scarlett, who came back from Los Angeles, seemed to find it unsatisfactory and wanted to lift it up and play around with it.

Li You hurriedly grabbed the other child. The two children seemed to have completely opposite personalities. The little guy named Zell was more likely to cry.

"Okay, we have to go and rest. Don't disturb the two little guys. I want to have a good sleep tonight."

When Scarlett heard Li You's call, she immediately fell into his arms. In order to take care of her body, she hadn't filmed a short film for a long time. In addition, the protagonist turned into Jin tonight, and the novelty quickly flooded into her heart.

"Let's go to the bathroom on the third floor and take a shower together!"

Jin, who was being pulled, looked at Scarlett who was hugging him, and his face turned red. The bold girl openly admitted on the show two days ago that she likes her current life, and also vaguely mentioned the multi-person competition.

Not only did he not deny the gossip, he even vowed that "I would consider giving birth to a child for Li You when I was 17 years old."
Li You patted Scarlett, who planned to be the director tonight. The latter immediately raised her head and kissed Jin. She chuckled and kissed Jin again. She quickly twisted her waist and left, whispering enthusiastically:

"I'm going to put the bath water in, honey, remember to bring the camera!"

When the three of them left the room, the girl from the housekeeping team quickly took over the little one. Li You hugged Jin and walked slowly. Seeing the other person's face getting redder and redder, he couldn't help jokingly saying:

"This is not the first time we have tried it. The weather in New York is really bad. If time permits, we should go to Florida to stay for a few days."

Jin twisted Li You angrily. She had always used alcohol to fool around, but she had never experienced this when she was absolutely sober:
"Governor Pataki is destined not to be re-elected, and everyone is optimistic about Spitzer."

"The civil lawsuit against the former head of the New York Stock Exchange has dragged on for a long time, but it doesn't appear to have much impact on his November election."

This is a good thing for Akers Capital, at least when it comes to acquiring its next-door neighbor Amaranth, the other party will not grab their pigtails.

"It looks like we will see the birth of a new governor at the end of the year, and many people will be happy to see him step down as attorney general."

Li You wasn't telling lies. The Wall Street Sheriff even reached out to the record company. If the other party wasn't in the limelight, someone would have wanted to give him a good look.

Sensing the heat of the big hands on her waist, Jin stopped talking about the news she had just received recently and shared the gossip she had recently encountered. When she walked to the bathroom on the third floor, her face couldn't help but turn redder.

With her fair and voluptuous breasts exposed and her voice becoming a little hoarse, Scarlett quickly and enthusiastically fell into Li You's arms.

The water temperature was just right, and the young girl seemed not to be shy, waving charmingly to Jin who was watching the show.

Li You, who was hugged from left to right, quickly fell into gentleness. If there were two, there would be three. This year, he has to continue to fight for the "football team"!
On Tuesday the 21st, after the All-Star Weekend, teams interested in the playoffs began their final sprint.

Bob Hill angrily criticized the Spurs during the All-Star Weekend, and even satirized Popovich for losing in the Finals and the Sonics' poor record. As a head coach, he also completely let himself go.

The slap in the face came sooner than expected. On Tuesday night, the Sonics suffered a heavy defeat in San Antonio.

78:103, the SuperSonics only scored 36 points in the half. The Spurs made another effort in the third quarter and took away the game early.

或许是伊娃的加练起到了作用，帕克当晚格外神勇，18中13，罚球5中4，高效砍下30分1篮板6助攻1抢断3失误的数据。

MVP排行榜上遥遥领先的邓肯用篮板球统治了比赛，11中5，罚球8中3，13分16篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽1失误。

The statistics were not gorgeous, but at the end of the game, Spurs fans in the SBC Center shouted "MVP" for Duncan!
Ray Allen, who played 33 minutes and scored 20 points, felt very angry when faced with the media's difficulties at the post-game press conference:
"Ray, with 22 wins and 34 losses, it seems difficult for the Sonics to make the playoffs. We got news that you plan to join forces with Lee. Does this mean you have given up on this season?"

No one cares about the result of the game. Most sports reporters want to know when Ray Allen will hug his thigh and what chips the Knicks will give away.

This feeling of being underestimated was not the first time that he had appeared. He tried hard to control his emotions, but when answering questions, Ray Allen still seemed a little irritable:

"I never said those words, I kept emphasizing that I was only focused on the Sonics!"

"We just reached the Western Conference finals last year. I know the potential of this team. Although the current record is not good, we can overcome difficulties and no one wants to give up."

Ray Allen avoided talking about the trade rumors, but his answer made everyone in the audience feel that he was guilty.

Soon there were more and more difficult questions, and even local sports reporters in Seattle began to suspect that Ray Allen was going to run away.
At the end of the Sonics press conference, Ray Allen was so angry that his face turned black. No matter how many times he said it, no one would believe him!

In contrast, Duncan does not have these worries. Although the data is not good-looking, his 41-12 record allows him to straighten his back.

Naturally, there is nothing to review in the game. The Spurs made 18 of 9 from the three-point line tonight. Whether it was inside or outside, they beat their opponents.

"Duncan, let's talk about the expectations after the All-Star Game for the first team. Do we still have a chance to get the first record in the league?"

Sports reporters in San Antonio hope that the home team can gain home court advantage. Many sports commentators have summarized the reasons for losing in the finals, and the final conclusion is:

"Spurs are not good at playing away games"

Duncan rarely spoke out in previous seasons, but this year the situation is different. When faced with such a problem, he even took the initiative to brag:
"We certainly have a chance to catch up with the Knicks, and Coach Popovich told us it's not the time to relax yet, and I couldn't agree more with that."

"The Spurs will still sprint with all their strength in the following schedule. Our goal is the championship. For this reason, everyone will do their best to get the home court advantage."

With his eyes wide open and a serious expression on his face, Duncan's words were extremely convincing. At this moment, everyone in the audience believed that the Spurs could do this!
After talking about the record, Duncan did not forget to praise his teammates. Before he could relax, someone soon asked about the latest gossip:

"Tim, if Ray Allen chooses to join the Knicks for the championship, do you have such plans in the future?"

TNT's reporters didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. Anyway, it was assumed in the show that Duncan hugged his thigh. Some reporters also looked at Duncan on the stage, as if they wanted to get an explosive answer.

"The Spurs are No. 1 in the Western Conference. We've made it to the playoffs every year. We've finished rebuilding."

"I will not leave San Antonio, I just want to fulfill my promise and bring a championship to this city!"

The expressionless Duncan made another promise, and many people in the audience cheered. The MVP must be a bit tough and not consider the future. This answer is in line with their expectations.

Although Duncan is almost locked in the MVP award this season, Popovich routinely touts his thighs after every game:
"How you face failure is an important criterion for measuring greatness! Tim has proven his greatness with practical actions."

With a proud look on his face, Popovich ignored Bob Hill. After all, he was already a quasi-champion coach and shouldn't argue with a minor character:

"The Spurs did lose three times in the Finals, but we all know that no one can win consistently."

“With Tim at the helm, we will ultimately be successful!”

Popovich's prediction was recognized by many people. Four consecutive championships is the ultimate, and now the Spurs are ready to win.

These words are not only encouraging Spurs fans, Popovich is also using the media to remind the league that the situation of one dominant player has come to an end.

On Wednesday the 22nd, everyone from the Heat came to New York again. This was also the first game between the two sides after the All-Star Weekend.

With 33 wins and 20 losses, Pat Riley plans to continue sprinting. Fourth in the Eastern Conference is definitely not a good position!

O'Neal took advantage of the All-Star Game, but it was only after the game that he realized that Wade seemed to be eager for trophies. Fortunately, this did not affect the friendship between the two, and they were still brothers.

Like the Knicks, the Heat did not make reinforcements. Jason Williams returned from injury and Payton returned to the bench.

When he came to the arena to warm up in the afternoon, Pat Riley, who was interviewed, also gave his predictions and put pressure on the league:
"I love New York, we experienced the finals together!" "But in the basketball world, no one can guarantee victory, and no one can win forever."

"The Heat made huge adjustments during the offseason, and it's only now that we are gradually getting the feeling that we are ready for the championship."

The oil-headed boss acted like he had seen through everything. Thinking of the other party's behavior of picking peaches, some New York reporters couldn't help but whisper "old guy" in their hearts.

The abacus clicked, and there was indeed a reason why Stan Van Gundy didn't go to the Heat's home game!
Unlike the Heat, who are all healthy, on the Knicks side, Gasol suddenly suffered from the flu after returning to Manhattan and will miss tonight's game.

Dan Gazulic became the starting center tonight. He has played a lot of playing time this season, but his data is mediocre.

During the afternoon warm-up, the New York media gathered around D'Antoni early. Mustache took advantage of this All-Star weekend to leave the cold Manhattan and fly to Italy for a few days of fun.

Recently, many championship teams are putting pressure on the league. D'Antoni doesn't care about this. Instead, he joked in front of the media:
"I watched the news, but they didn't know Lee!"

"The basketball game is not that complicated. Not only can Lee score, he can also make his teammates better. This is the key to our victory."

"As for other factors, it doesn't matter. Lee has won 7 championships. Maybe they haven't realized it yet. This is just winning all the time."

"Rules are meant to be broken. The competition is not a prize selection. Whoever scores the highest score will win. In this regard, no one can compare with Li."

Mustache seemed very proud, and accurate shooting was also a talent. Li You's understanding of tactics far exceeded his expectations, which amplified the team's advantage.

Li You, who was warming up, kept feeding the ball to Gazulic, who was starting tonight. The latter caught the ball under the basket and continued to hit the basket in the face of the trainer's interference.

"I'm a little nervous. If I can't restrain O'Neal, will the fans boo me?"

Gazulic, who had just completed a dunk, clapped the basketball in his hand, said these words seriously, and then looked outside the three-point line, as if expecting Li You's encouragement.
"Unfortunately, Dan, no one can stop him in the post one-on-one, you just have to control the fouls."

"The coaching staff should have warned you during the morning video session that you should pay attention to Wade's breakthrough. Don't make a move easily. The opponent will keep attacking you with pick-and-rolls."

Li You controlled the expression on his face. For the first time, he discovered that the team's atmosphere had indeed inflated a lot. D'Antoni never mentioned this when defending O'Neal alone.

"I think I can do it. You know, I was very good defensively when I was at UCLA. I have grown a lot in the past few years!"

"If the coach allows me, I can give it a try. Alas! Sometimes the coaching staff is still too conservative."

With a sigh, Gazulic showed a regretful expression on his face and clapped his hands regretfully. This action made the trainer behind him unable to complain.

Hill is still communicating with his athletic trainer and will return from injury tonight.

Many people noticed that the toady Fisher did not circle around Li You, but mingled with Barnes. The two talked and laughed, and seemed to be having a good time.

Artest didn't care about this. All-Star weekend family and friends gatherings cost a lot of money. After returning to Manhattan, he became much more honest and had no money.

In the game at 19: that night, New York fans showed their enthusiasm again, and Madison Square Garden was boiling early.

However, as the game time passed, the cheers quickly turned into curses:

“Referee suck!.”

With 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the half, Wade stood on the free throw line again. This was his 13th free throw tonight.

The free throw was made steadily. Pat Riley on the sidelines shouted to his players and signaled Jason Williams to lead the defense as soon as possible. He could not relax at this time.

He didn't receive many defensive tasks tonight. Wade retreated to half-court with a ferocious expression on his face. He stood next to Hill and high-fived him repeatedly. At the same time, he loudly reminded Mourning, who had just appeared:

"Help defend! Hold on for a while longer!"

Due to the absence of Gasol, Li You reduced the number of pick-and-rolls tonight. Haslem and Kidney Warrior seemed to be stimulated by the chicken soup. They double-teamed in the pick-and-roll tonight, and their movements were very quick.

"Let's go Knicks!."

On the right wing, he noticed that Li You had already passed the midline. While James Posey was staring at the upper line, he was also pulling Artest beside him.

After a lot of video study, the Heat did not double-team without thinking, allowing the Knicks to easily find open opportunities. When Li You dribbled from behind to his right hand, James Posey began to move.

Seizing the opportunity, Artest moved decisively towards the right sideline. James Posey suddenly quickened his pace, but Li You turned his body sideways and suddenly twisted his right wrist.

The pass fake kept James Poseidon in place. When the basketball bounced back to Li You's left hand, he relied on the defense to turn around and instantly got rid of Jason Williams beside him.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li You, who was accelerating with the ball in his left hand, successfully grabbed more than half of his body and broke through to the top of the key in an instant.

"What the hell!"

Wade on the left wing could see clearly. He cursed and immediately stepped forward to help defend. At the same time, James Posey did not return to defense, but cooperated with his teammates to block the paint area.

When Li You approached the free throw line, everyone on the Heat team gathered around him.

While moving, Li You leaned on the defense and suddenly slowed down. Jason Williams, who was chasing the ball, quickly controlled his body, stopped and started suddenly, and Li You, who pushed the ball and changed direction, accelerated a second time.

In the paint area, Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, was about to be surrounded by four people. Fortunately, the ball was faster than the person, and the basketball almost brushed past Mourning's fingertips and flew to the right bottom corner.

Faced with James Posey, who came back to defend, Artest, who received the ball in the corner, feinted the ball. His opponent flew out of the baseline, and then he made a steady jump shot.

"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net.

At 52:55, Artest, who hit the shot, shouted repeatedly, igniting the atmosphere again.

From time to time tonight, the Heat will assume a position similar to a three-and-two zone defense. When the Knicks are inaccurate on the outside, they will occasionally switch to a two-and-three zone defense to test their shooting.

In some rounds, Wade will act as a help defender, and with his excellent athletic ability, he has indeed achieved good results.

Li You looked at Hill, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he should still defend. Laga Bell received three fouls prematurely, disrupting tonight's rotation arrangement.

"Defense!."

Seeing Wade receiving the ball on the left wing again, the defensive cheers came one after another. Haslem immediately came to the line and covered early.

Putting the ball with his right hand, Wade changed direction in front of him, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, used the screen to get rid of Hill, faced Kurt Thomas who came up to help defend, flew close to the ground, and forced a breakthrough.

In the left block, the two bodies collided. Wade couldn't squeeze through, so he simply joined the ball in advance, drifted toward the baseline, and completed the throw with a crooked body!

"And one!"

Yelling to alert the referee, Wade threw the ball and then fell off the baseline.

After trying hard to jump to block the shot, Kurt Thomas also lost his center of gravity in the air. After landing, his body tilted, and then he jumped continuously and fell to the baseline in some pain.

Gazulic wrestled with Mourning under the basket, and finally relied on his height advantage to barely hold the ball in his arms, and then the referee also blew the whistle.

"Oh!"

Seeing Kurt Thomas covering his right foot in pain, the fans at the scene also screamed.

Everyone in the Knicks team hurriedly gathered around. Seeing their heads covered with sweat, everyone realized something was wrong.

The relaxed smile on D'Antoni's face on the sidelines no longer existed. The team doctor began to shake his head after a preliminary examination, and Kurt Thomas was eventually carried away on a stretcher.

In the MSG commentary box, Walter Frazier showed a worried look. It was an injury to his right ankle that made the Knicks pick up Kurt Thomas in the free market:
"Hopefully God bless Kurt, it's definitely bad news for us if there's an injury at this time."

Mike Breen on the side saw the referee indicating that the game should continue, and he also sighed:
"This should be the last thing Coach D'Antoni wants to see. It will be difficult for Diaw to shoulder Kurt's task on the defensive end. Fortunately, our excellent record allows us to adjust calmly."

In the last minute or so of the half, both sides were either shooting or taking free throws, and for a while the shouts and curses resounded throughout the arena.

At 55:57, the Knicks only took a slim lead.

Wade made 7 of 2 in the half and 13 of 11 free throws, contributing a team-high 15 points. More importantly, he caused Bell and Prince to receive three fouls in the half.

The tactical goal was not achieved. The Knicks did not let the big man get off the court easily. The rotation inside tonight was Grenzen Wright. The center will give away points when he comes on.
Pat Riley was a little regretful. The opponent had too many perimeter defensive resources. When he returned to the locker room, the oily man looked at everyone and simply reminded:

"Be smart, I want to see you guys keep hitting the basket, Shaq, you know what to do!"

Zone defense and reduced playing time are to take care of the fat shark. O'Neal did not dare to put on airs when facing the boss. He responded in a low voice while replenishing water:
"Yes, it's my turn to perform!"

In the second half of the game, Pat Riley once again showed his demeanor as a championship coach. Watching Wade and O'Neal take turns, a smile began to appear on his face.

However, in the second half of the game, the oil-headed boss became furious again and couldn't help but shout:

"Defense! Don't just stand there!"

Haslem was still hesitating just now. In the last round, Diaw flicked a fake screen from the left wing and easily hit a three-pointer.

In this semi-switching attack, there was another hand-off after continuously passing the ball on the line. In almost the same position, Li You caught the ball again.

The moment he caught the ball, he swung right and left. Wade, who started to take over the defense in the second half, slid in time. At the three-point line, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, paused slightly, then crossed and pulled back.

The hesitation of his teammates prevented the double team from forming in time. The moment his right hand touched the ball again, Li You forced a cut against Wade.

In the left elbow area, Wade, who made the right defensive choice, relied on his strong body to slow down Li You. Before he could be happy, the basketball flew out in front of him.

Hill, who cut in time from the right wing, received the pass close to the paint area and immediately sprinted towards the basket.

Mourning's feet just moved, and Hill's short pass instantly tore up the defense. Gazulic caught the ball on the lower right side of the basket, jumped up on the spot, and slammed the basket with both hands!
"Oh!"

The Knicks' smooth cooperation made the cheers in the arena unstoppable. No matter how much their opponents did, they were still in the lead.

The first one who couldn't stand it was Wade. When Li You also started to participate in the defense, his physical fitness declined and he started to make some reluctant mid-range jumpers.

What frustrated everyone in the Heat the most was that O'Neal's free throw was inaccurate, and Pat Riley's timeout failed to prevent the point difference from widening.

At the end of the third quarter, when the opponent once again defended the zone, Li You assisted Prince, who came on the bench, to hit three-pointers from the left and right corners for two consecutive rounds.

In the last attack, Wade's jump shot in the paint once again helped the team score points, but the score came to 79:89.

单节7中3，罚球2中1，韦德贡献了7分，奥尼尔7中4，罚球6中2，拿到了10分.
The performance of the two barely met expectations, but Pat Riley was not satisfied. The game did not go according to his game plan.

The Heat showed their desire to win. In the fourth quarter, as the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped, the two sides began to pull together again.

The opponents kept double-teaming Li You, which completely angered the New York fans at the scene. They didn't buy tickets to watch the game to watch the free throws!

Until there were 3 minutes and 23 seconds left in the game, everyone in the Heat team, who was at the bottom of his physical fitness, did not commit any more fouls and watched the score difference return to 10 points as Li You watched the fast break.

"No team can insist on double-teaming. Sooner or later, their rotation and physical fitness will have problems."

In the commentary box, Walter Frazier gave his conclusion with a smile. Watching Li You break through Wade's paint area from the top of the arc and score, Mike Breen also said in agreement:

"Lee was in poor condition tonight. The Heat's tactics were half successful. Maybe this is a preview of the playoffs."

With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the game, Li You was also substituted. The New York fans at the scene stood up and applauded. They had not seen such a scene for a long time.

出场40分钟，20中10，三分线外5中2，罚球10中8，30分6篮板10助攻2抢断3失误。

Li You was also a little dissatisfied with his performance. When he returned to his seat, he couldn't help but murmured:
"You should really concentrate on preparing for the game."
