NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 58 Rookie Wall?

On January 1997, 1, the Knicks ushered in their first victory of the new year.

At 96:84, the Knicks finally kept their lead and successfully won the game when the Washington Bullets' shots felt stretched.

Larry Johnson was 8 for 1 and Charles Oakley was 12 for 3. These two seemed to have hit a rookie wall and couldn't make any shots.
After playing 31 minutes, Li You was closely defended by the opponent throughout the game, but he still handed over a good statistic:

8中4，三分线外6中3，罚球4中3，14分4篮板4助攻2抢断2失误。

After the game, Jeff Van Gundy seemed very happy in an interview and took the initiative to praise the team's performance:
"The first game of the new year is an away game. We overcame difficulties and performed very well. Everyone played with energy!"

"I don't care about our shooting percentage because we're limiting the Bullets to about [-] percent."

"This is the way we play. Even if the shooting touch is not good, we can still win the game by defending."

Xiangwei chocolate is still chocolate, winning is the most important thing!

On January 1rd, everyone in the Knicks couldn't wait to fly to Atlanta. As soon as they arrived at the hotel, several veterans of Ewing told the newcomers:

"Let's go to see the situation first tonight, don't tell the coach where we went!"

Alan-Houston and Li You stayed at the hotel. In the evening, everyone watched NBC's Saturday Night Show to pass the time.

"It's better to bring the coaching staff to play together. We are all adults. It's not illegal. It's no big deal to enjoy life!"

Mengxin John Wallace is itching in his heart, and he also wants to "meet them" with Big Brother.

Li You laughed out loud when he heard this sentence, collective XX, thanks to him being able to come up with this idea:

"Believe me, if Coach Van Gundy hears your idea, you won't be able to play any more minutes in the next few months."

Whistleblower Walter McCarty also wanted to experience the latest service. He watched TV absently, and said in a sour tone:

"Even Buck went with him, it's dangerous and tired of logging, so he should take us with him!"

Alan Houston was speechless. Is "logging tired" used for this kind of thing?

"There is still a game to play tomorrow, rookies should train hard and let the coaching staff see your performance. This is the most important thing."

The two newcomers were a little ashamed for a while when they heard Alan Houston's words. The X bug almost obeyed the lower body.
Li You was also a little curious. He had never been to this kind of club. He was not interested in messing around. He mainly wanted to witness history.

In the training session on the morning of the 4th, the feet of several veterans were all fluttering, and their eyes were straight. After a night of fierce confrontation, their physical fitness was almost at their limit.

Jeff Van Gundy was a little helpless, and he knew where these veterans went with his feet.
The Knicks were out of form that night, and to make matters worse, Chris Childs sprained his ankle before the official timeout of the first quarter.

The Eagles also followed suit on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Mutombo was not affected too much and still protected the basket steadily.

Mucci Blaylock and Steve Smith kept biting the outside line of the Knicks. Under the fierce defense of the two, Li You did not make any mistakes, but the offense was indeed affected.

The candy-style defense made it difficult for Li You to get a good shot space. Coupled with the decline in the quality of the screen tonight, the team made more mistakes, and was quickly beaten by the Eagles in a wave of 10:2.

Jeff Van Gundy would call a timeout at the beginning and tell the players, but in the second half, he found that everyone's legs were weaker, and he simply sat back on the bench.

In the end, at 82:89, the Eagles completed their revenge at home and successfully defeated the Knicks.

Although he lost the game, Ewing was in a very good mood. After the game, he pulled his friend Dikembe Mutombo to whisper. The two big men from Georgetown have something in common.

After the game, everyone flew directly to New York, and the veterans who had fought twice in a row fell asleep on the plane
After leaving the airport, Alan Houston looked particularly depressed. Everyone was in a mediocre state tonight, and he didn't get too many shots. He scored 11 of 4 and only scored 10 points.

"Sometimes I really don't like the team's tactics, we obviously have more offensive options!"

Li You heard Alan Houston's low-pitched complaint, shrugged his shoulders, and responded simply:
"The Knicks are Pat's team, a top 50 star in the NBA, and the starting center of this year's Eastern Conference All-Stars, keeping the data at 20+10. This is a privilege that a superstar should have."

"However, the future must belong to young people. No one can resist the invasion of time. The Knicks can't do it, and neither can the Bulls who are currently leading the league!"

"At the moment it's just a matter of staying healthy and being patient, there will always be opportunities."

On the night of January 1th, at Madison Square Garden, Li You, who returned home, finally received his rookie of the month trophy.

The game hadn't even started yet. Hearing the cheers from New York fans on the visiting team's bench, Ray Allen felt a little envious of Li You's treatment.

The Bucks challenged the Knicks away tonight. Ray Allen wanted to perform well, but he didn't get too many shots throughout the game.

Although the Bucks are a young team, the current core is Wen Baker and Glenn Robinson. The two, one inside and one outside, have taken most of the Bucks' shots.

In the first half of the game, the two sides were still stalemate. In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks suddenly showed their "iron blood" defense, 3:15 in a single quarter, and established the victory in one fell swoop.

In the end, 88:97, the Knicks, who fought back to back at home, easily defeated their opponents!
出场33分钟，雷-阿伦7中3，只拿到了7分2篮板1助攻1失误的数据。

Compared with Li You's situation, Ray Allen has really hit the rookie wall.
After losing the game, the Bucks' record came to 15 wins and 16 losses, and they have fallen to 9th in the Eastern Conference.

On the morning of the 6th, Li You entertained friends in his apartment in Manhattan. Ray Allen had difficulty scoring in recent games, so he was naturally very depressed:

"Ven Baker often drinks, and the Bucks don't have many players who train seriously. Even if they miss the playoffs this year, I won't be surprised!"

"I am a little envious of Antoine Walker. Although the Celtics have been losing, he has the right to shoot."

"Let a scorer only take 10 shots in a game, and also require efficient scoring, which is very difficult for me to meet!"

Li You handed his friend a glass of white water, and Ray Allen rarely complained during daily text messages;
The mood swings this time are so big, the main reason is that there are relationship problems, and the long-distance relationship has caused a lot of harm
"The Celtics have only won 7 games so far. This kind of crazy performance, the league will definitely not let them do what they want!"

"In a few days, there will be a bad battle between the Spurs and the Celtics. This is quite interesting. Fans on both sides may expect the home team to lose more!"

Li You began to change the subject, leaving the unpleasant things behind, after all, it is difficult for a new player to change his situation.
Ray Allen also quickly adjusted his emotions and responded with a smile:

"The league may sell the cardinal a face. We all know that there must be an inside story in the lottery ceremony!"

"."

In the second week of the New Year, the Knicks had three games against only two opponents, the Mavericks and the Celtics.

The pressure of the game was not high, but Li You continued to be defended under high pressure. Even the Celtics, which were the worst team, never let up on Li You's personal defense.

On the night of January 1th, at 11:96, the Knicks returned home and beat the Celtics!
After all, Li You is not an ordinary young player. Facing the targeted defense of each team, he reduces forced shots, allocates physical energy reasonably, and uses more running tactics.

Although the data dropped a bit, Li You gained more:
[Allen Iverson's excellent sense of the ball] has become copper-colored, and the fusion speed of this talent is very fast!

The shouts of the fans at the scene brought Li You back to his senses. The old guy was in a good mood, and continued to abuse food, and the data also increased:

"John! I have to trouble everyone for the away game in the West next week!"

Hearing Li You's words, Starks patted his chest and made a promise:

"Don't worry, Li! When we get to Phoenix, everyone will help, it's dangerous and tired of logging!"
