NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 380 Li You praises (7000 words chapter)
On Monday, May 2005, 5, the NBA announced the Defensive Player of the Year Award (DPOY) for this season:
The Pistons' Ben Wallace once again won the award.

This is the third time that Ben has won the award, and the football critics also recognize it very much.

This season, Ben Wallace's defensive efficiency ranks second in the league, second only to Duncan.

This data generally reflects the player's influence on the defensive end. Under the large data sample, Ben Wallace is indeed an inside player with outstanding performance on the defensive end.

The award-winning Ben was wearing a Pistons sportswear during the interview and still had the afro on his head.

During the playoffs in recent years, Ben Wallace will maintain this look. This is a habit developed in the Knicks.

Of course, hairstyle can affect a person's temperament. The somewhat slovenly Ben Wallace looks like a tough guy.

However, when delivering his acceptance speech, Ben was still relatively modest:
"I am very happy to receive this award, but it is a pity that there is one less strong competitor this year."

"I am very satisfied with the state of the Pistons. This is the second season that our lineup has fully cooperated. We are confident that we can win the championship."

Ben didn't gossip too much about Larry Brown wanting to leave due to health reasons.

"I always believe I can hit the next shot, and it's unfortunate that I let the fans down in the last two games."

111:96, in the G4 game, the Nets persisted until the end, and Kidd also received Li You's recognition.

In the last game, Carter's performance was really stretched, and he scored very few goals in sports games, except for free throws, so Li You did not force the X.

Although he won easily, Li You did not belittle his opponent. In an interview after the game, he praised again:

Every year when the playoffs come, New York fans will enter a state of self-entertainment. The first round games are not enough to watch, especially G4, with too many free throws and Carter being too tough.

Recently, he is planning how to pretend to be X. Fans of Manchester United are still protesting. Li You feels that after the acquisition, he must at least make these people feel "full of awe".

Position 2 In the evening, at home on Street 82, Li You felt helpless looking at the food on the table.

铁了三场比赛，最后一场荣誉之战，基德出场41分钟，20中9，三分线外10中4，罚球4中3，拿到25分5篮板7助攻1抢断4失误的数据。

Although New York real estate prices are still rising, many people are more cautious about real estate after Wall Street issued warnings.

After not paying attention to the family recipes for half a month, Li You realized that he had to eat "leaves" tonight.

Grain toast was popular in New York a while ago, and then it became a healthy cuisine.

With a gentle smile on his face, Carter, who lost the game, was ready to go on vacation. However, he knew that his reputation was not good, so he subconsciously gave Nets fans a thumbs up:
"This is the first season that Kidd and I have worked together, and we will stay here until we win a championship for this city!"

Carter expressed his gratitude to Li You in an interview after the game:
“It’s great to play against the defending champions, it means a lot to us!”

Ivana was recently in charge of her father's apartment project, and she ran into trouble in the early stage of publicity.

In addition to reporting on the awards, several mainstream media in New York also published Li You's comments on the first round.

"The Nets' spirit of trying their best and never giving up is worth learning from all teams. I have only respect for such an opponent!"

When it comes to physical health, the taste of food is not very good. Those who have no money join in the fun, and those who have money start to change their recipes and follow the trend to pretend to be X.

Although there were disputes on the court, Carter would not complain about Li You's defensive actions off the court.

Not wanting to disappoint their father, Ivana and little Tangade are airborne. On the surface, everyone respects them in the workplace, but inadvertently they will get in the way at work.

However, Kidd, who won the award, still had to speak loudly. After all, he is a big star. Although he lost the game, he could not lose with words:

"Like Lee said, I don't care about my statistics, and I don't count my shots in detail on the court."

As the first team to advance to the semifinals, the Knicks got nearly a week of rest.

Tang Jade's project is well-known, but Wall Street experts are more authoritative.

Pretending to be X is also a technical job. Until this time, Li You felt that his knowledge was not enough, so he took advantage of the team's holiday to discuss this issue with Ivana and others.

卡特也延续了自己的曼巴精神，22中6，三分线外4中0，罚球12中11，砍下23分10篮板3助攻1抢断2失误。

"Black Mamba" Vince Carter, different from the previous title of "Flying Man", the nickname given by Li You seems to be cooler, at least Nets fans like it very much.

The hit rate was less than 40%, and the lone hero Carter was pinned to death by Li You in the last game.
The Nets' 40 free throws failed to save the game. In short, the referee tried his best!

"Basketball is not just about scoring. Kidd controls the game better than me. He is an excellent point guard."

Carter, who joined the Nets, has obviously matured a lot after spending half a season with the Raptors.

The New York media groaned. Artest won the award last year, but this year he knocked him down with a right fist. Otherwise, the award might still belong to the Knicks.

Li You won the victory, and Kidd and Carter also suffered no losses. After this series, they received "Li You's praise".

"I hope the team can continue to strengthen. We haven't been able to deliver more talent in the first season of our cooperation, but our record in the new season will be even better."

Kidd, who received "Li You's praise", was not as optimistic as his teammates. He had already lost, and the sports media did not believe his words.

After Li You satisfied his bad taste, he returned to Manhattan the next day.

Just as Li You predicted, after returning to their home court, the Bulls rebounded and won two games in a row, bringing the series score to 2:2. The Cavaliers had to prepare for the decisive battle.

According to the past, every dinner party is an opportunity for Li You to improve his meals.

"But I won't change my playing style. As long as the team needs me, I will keep taking action."

Just like Philadelphia fans didn't believe that Iverson led the team to defeat Li You and reach the finals and win the championship, Nets fans have long lost their trust in Kidd.

After Sunday's game, the Knicks easily swept the Nets with a big score of 4-0.

"If the series goes on for a few more games, maybe Kidd can find his shooting touch from beyond the three-point line."

With the Pistons getting match point, he just wanted to put more energy into tonight's game.

Ivana, who works hard, also has a lot of troubles about this. She has just graduated and according to the original plan, she does not want to take over the group affairs prematurely.

But since my father married his third wife, who seemed to be planning to have children, the brothers and sisters had some thoughts.

After introducing her own difficulties, Milinda across the table gave advice from a lawyer’s perspective:
"My dear, there is no need for you to dwell on these small issues."

"If the pre-sale of an apartment project does not meet expectations, the sales results will be exaggerated."

“Hunger marketing dispels consumers’ doubts and at the same time makes it easier to obtain financing.”

"This is a method that all real estate developers will use. You don't need to worry about subsequent problems."

Milinda, who was "eating grass", was wearing a home T-shirt. After giving Ivana advice, she also invited her to enjoy the food together.

Ivana is still a little entangled. She has just taken over the project less than a year ago. Although she has learned about her father's tricks, she is worried that she will cause trouble for the family.

According to current laws in New York State, it is a crime to induce sales through fraudulent means, and profiting from the sale of high-priced apartments is most likely a felony.

Jin was eating her special dinner. Although she can't see any changes in her figure yet, she still received more care after confirming that she had a child.

As if seeing Ivana's entangled problem, Jin, who was sitting next to Milinda, raised his head and added in a low voice:

"Whether it is the federal prosecutor or the district attorney, they actually have the discretion to make decisions."

"When it comes to special groups, I mean people like celebrities and political congressmen, cases sometimes go through the Attorney General."

"At this time, there is too much room for maneuver whether to prosecute or not, so don't worry about being prosecuted for using such propaganda methods."

Jin, who still wore a ponytail at home, was very serious when talking about work. He noticed that Ivana was silent and secretly stepped on Li You.

Ivana has lost weight again recently. After tying up her hair, you can see the collarbone below. Li You knew what the girl was thinking and said in a determined tone:

"If I encounter trouble in the future, the solution is actually very simple. I will donate to the Manhattan District Attorney campaign."

"Milinda can also help with a donation. If the problem cannot be solved, according to the process, if the prosecutor wants to prosecute, he will need to convene a grand jury."

"When it came to this, I asked Nacho to help. He has helped Ax Capital solve many problems in the past few years. We have rich experience."

Li You is so sure, naturally because pre-trial motions can make a lot of troubles. Ivana is not used to this method, and Tang Jade has long been in a state of "no worries about debts."

Of course Ivana has considered this hunger marketing method, but she just hasn’t been able to make up her mind.

There was no need to worry about selling the house in New York. Tangade knew that he was just assigning homework to his children, and he would ultimately be the judge of how many points he would get.

With a smile on her face again, Ivana made up her mind, nodded, smiled at a few people, and talked about her upcoming trip again:
"My dear, when do we leave for England?"

Li You has not yet planned how to pretend to be X. He lacks experience in this area, but the day to complete the acquisition is getting closer:
"We should be able to get 5% of Manchester United's shares in mid-May. If we go quickly enough, we can go to Manchester by the end of June at the latest."

Regarding the new experience that was about to come, the three of them quickly started chatting again.

Milinda had to take care of Jin. Ivana lay lazily in Li You's arms before going to bed. The bathtub was full of bubbles, which just covered the plump white greasy on her chest.

Her body was heated by the teasing, Ivana took the initiative to kiss her, and slowly she sat astride Li You.

His figure became more and more slim. While holding his plump figure, Li You began to whisper in his ear:

"How about buying a few more cars? I haven't paid attention to British real estate. If you have time, help me check out the news in this regard."

Ivana took a breath and rolled her eyes at Li You. She had no intention of talking about this at this time. She opened her swollen lips and issued an invitation:

"I just had an iced coffee and we have a lot of time to talk about these issues tonight."

After whispering, Ivana noticed that her waist was being held, and she laughed softly and then whispered.

As the water rippled, Li You hugged Ivana, leaned into her ear again and encouraged:
“It’s okay to go slow!”

On May 5, the Cavaliers and Bulls once again became the focus of football commentators.

No matter which team makes it to the semifinals, they will face the defending champion.

LeBron James' performance in the two away games was average. Facing the Bulls' shrinking defense, his unstable shooting still magnified his shortcomings.

Not long ago, the NBA announced this season’s Most Improved Player Award (MIP):
Bobby Simmons of the Clippers successfully won this award!
As a second-round pick, it is naturally not easy to win the award, but James feels a little regretful that he also has a chance to win this award.

In terms of votes, Wade and James were evenly matched, and Prince was also nominated. In the end, the award went to Bobby Simmons.

Although LeBron James was a little dissatisfied with this, he said beautiful words in an interview:

"Bobby's personal efficiency and data have greatly improved, and he is well-deserved for the award."

"Every player who puts in a huge effort deserves respect and I just want to congratulate him, I know what he has done to improve himself."

James was a little nervous about tonight's battle at Tianwang Mountain. He didn't expect that the opponent could really win two games in a row, and he lost his previous confidence when answering questions:
"We will strictly implement the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff. This is my first time experiencing the playoffs. I am really nervous when encountering such a big scene." "I believe that my teammates and Cleveland fans also support the team. We It will bring victory to this city.”

After saying these words, James returned to his calm performance. He knew that he should speak boldly at this time, not only to cheer himself up, but also to encourage the team.

If James is still worried about the game at night, then Howard is a pure "fun person". He enjoys the attention brought by the playoffs and the respect of the fans.

As for losing, Howard never thinks about it. He just wants to share his happiness:
"Cool! Going through such a schedule in the playoffs for the first time in my career, I suddenly feel like my dream has come true!"

"Game adjustments? Tactical arrangements? No, now we prefer to enjoy the fun of the game."

The reporter from Yahoo Sports looked at Howard with some helplessness. After a season of interviews, he found that the other party seemed to be really a "big boy."

James is mature beyond his age. In contrast, Howard is indeed more like a child.
Van Gundy did not stop the players from being interviewed. In the afternoon, he even took the initiative to chat with sports reporters about the game plan:
"We will not make any more mistakes. In the two away games, Hinrich responded from beyond the three-point line. When necessary, the team will adopt a double-team strategy in advance."

Although he is back on the same starting line, Van Gundy, as a championship coach, has also seen big scenes, and when he said these words, he also showed a confident look.

After arriving in Cleveland, he spent a lot of energy, and Van Gundy became even more bald, and even assistant coach Thibodeau also had a bald patch on his head.

The two successful bald men are the Cavaliers' biggest source of confidence. Sports reporters didn't have any objections and all followed suit.

After acquiring the Cavaliers, Gilbert is also very satisfied with the current lineup and coaching staff.

Entering the playoffs in his first season in charge of the team, the online loan tycoon has also become somewhat bloated.

Although he does not interfere in the specific operations of the team, Gilbert also helped to boast before such a key game:
"We have the best coaching staff in the league and we have the best potential in the league."

"The Chicago Bulls have five championships, but within a few years, the Cavaliers will catch up with them."

"The combination of LeBron and Howard will dominate the league in the future, and they will be as successful as Lee!"

The stage has been set, and the game that night was broadcast by ABC. The battle of Tianwangshan between the two new teams attracted a lot of attention.

In key games, Hinrich and Ben Gordon both broke out. The former fired frequently from outside the three-point line, and the latter supported the offensive firepower of the rotation lineup.

In terms of rebounding, the Bulls' Tyson Chandler also played a huge role. After coming off the bench, he always contributed some offensive rebounds.

Faced with the opponent's outside shooting, the Cavaliers did not panic. Van Gundy calmly directed and James kept attacking the basket.

The home court advantage came into play, with sudden penalties and penalties, and for a while the Bulls were unable to widen the point difference.

The game remained deadlocked until the 4th quarter, and the Cleveland fans at the scene became increasingly nervous.

With 7.9 seconds left in the game, 101:104, the Cavaliers did not score a point in the last minute.

After the timeout, a sideline kick was taken. Hinrich was given special attention. The moment he received the ball from the left wing, he was immediately surrounded by a double team.

At the critical moment, Hinrich gave the ball to the left corner in time. The substitute defender Jane led Luo Pargo to catch the ball and throw it away without making any adjustments.

Amid the exclamations of Cavaliers fans, the basketball hit the net with only 5.2 seconds left in the game.

104:104, on the bench, Van Gundy requested a timeout, and the assistant coach had already arranged the final attack.

According to the Knicks' habit, Van Gundy encouraged James loudly at this time:
"Breathe, calm down, LeBron, speed up some shots!"

"Whether it's a shot or a breakthrough, you have enough time to complete the corresponding action."

James nodded, this was his moment, the big scene he had been waiting for was finally here!
Under the spotlight, the frontcourt kicked off, and after the sideline ball was released, with the help of Gooden's cover, James caught the ball at the top of the arc.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, James turned around and stepped forward, blocking his position and releasing the ball with his left hand.

Head coach Skiles on the sidelines immediately made walking gestures and shouted repeatedly, but the referee did not indicate and the game time passed quickly.

James shook off Nocioni behind him, broke through to the basket, jumped and threw the ball toward the backboard with his left hand.

Watching the basketball hit the basket, the Cavaliers fans in the front row screamed. When the game was about to enter overtime, a big hand clicked on the basketball.

The final buzzer sounded, the basketball fell into the basket, and the arena instantly boiled!
After completing the tip-in, Howard didn't look at the referee at all. Regardless of whether the goal was valid or not, he rushed to the technical stage with a big smile, jumped up and shouted to the fans:

"This is my house!"

Beating his chest with both hands, Howard yelled and raised his hands in the air.

When LeBron James ran to the technical stage, he felt regret at first, then surprise. Finally, he heard Howard pretending to be X and yelling, and for a moment he felt a little depressed:
"I am the protagonist"

On May 5, the news that Howard beat the Bulls and the Cavaliers got the match point sparked heated discussions among the fans.

在这场关键比赛中，詹姆斯25中11，三分线外4中1，罚球14中10，砍下33分9篮板8助攻2抢断4失误的数据。

Although Howard eventually became the team's hero, ball commentators also praised James' performance:

"The Chosen One is fulfilling his talent!"

The New York Post has already begun previewing the next round of games between the Cavaliers and Knicks.

Van Gundy returned to New York as the head coach of the Cavaliers, and the newspaper columns began to add to the drama.
Li You has increased his training volume in recent days. He likes to practice more in the water to better exercise his core strength.

The award for the best coach will be announced after the MVP. There is a high probability that Popovich will receive the award this year.

At the Tarrytown Training Center, after the afternoon training session, Stoudemire was still actively accepting interviews with the media.

In the first round of the game, in order to find some form for Gasol, Stoudemire's playing time was affected and he did not have many outstanding performances.

Stoudemire himself will naturally not complain about this, but his agent has frequently spoken out recently, believing that his players should get more playing time.

This is indeed a reasonable request, but this arrangement does not conform to the coaching staff's plan. The first round of games is for warm-up, and Gasol is more important.

The New York Times reporter was very fond of Stoudemire's explosive style of play, and also talked about last night's game during the interview:

"Amare, if the Cavaliers advance, the Knicks' interior may be tested more."

"How would you rate rookie Dwight Howard? He just became a key player for the Cavaliers last night."

Stoudemire looked down on the newbies, not only Howard, but he didn't even bother to pay attention to the Black Mambakat in the first round.

After winning the championship and being selected as an All-Star this year, Stoudemire was very inflated at this time and was unceremonious in his comments about the stars:
"Maybe he has good physical talent, but I understand high school rookies. He still needs more time to polish his skills."

"In several games during the regular season, Howard didn't show many skills and he had some problems with his physical coordination."

"I'm not worried about the Cavaliers' inside combination. I'm sure to dominate my opponents!"

"."

His teammates boasted in front of the sports media, chatting about the first-round game, and from time to time they even secretly disparaged the Black Mambakat. Prince couldn't say anything when he saw such a scene, so he continued to practice shooting.

Defending Carter is not only Li You's job. In some rounds, Prince will seize the opportunity to help defend, which limits the opponent's shooting percentage to less than 30%.

It's just that most sports reporters prefer to watch the excitement, and they still praise Li You more for his defensive performance.

Players who are fighting for their contracts will take the initiative to practice shooting more. They don't expect to become a marksman. If they are allowed to shoot with a shooting percentage of just over 30%, they will reach the standard.

Li You, who was being interviewed by several Yahoo Sports media, did not talk much about the previous round of competition.

No one was talking about the Knicks' opponents in the next round. Everyone was more interested in the recent actions of some congressmen.

“Arizona lawmakers and several House members intend to pursue the Clean Sports Act this year.”

"The Drug-Free Sports Act was proposed last month, but it is said to have been blocked. Lee, do you think the NBA will support these two bills?"

The Yahoo Sports reporter who asked this question actually had bad intentions. Many people questioned Li You's use of drugs. Whenever outrageous records appear, sports reporters will start a new life.

This year's regular season, Li You set a number of records. Although these inconspicuous records will not improve his historical status, they are still enviable.

The players did not speak, but some agents were always angry. Mark Bartelstein, as Li You's agent, had to speak out to refute the rumors.

Starting to prepare for the moment before the MVP award is about to be announced, Li You naturally will not give the other party a good look:
"I believe that the two bills will eventually be passed in the two sessions. I will discuss this issue with Mr. President every year when I go to the White House."

"Everyone knows that drugs can damage the image of sports leagues, and I have always supported Commissioner David Stern's decision."

"Actually, it is normal for me to undergo examinations after games. There is no need to make special reports, because the New York media knows that as long as the league requests it, I will usually cooperate as soon as possible."

Several reporters from Yahoo Sports were a little embarrassed. Of course they knew that a few years ago, everyone suspected that Li You's urine was full of stimulants, and they gradually got used to it later.

However, for the sake of news, everyone had no choice but to press forward. When Li You saw the other party shrinking, he shrugged his shoulders and stopped embarrassing the other party:
"I've said more than once that scoring is the easiest thing for me, and I think I've proven that over the past few years."

"35+5+10, this is not my upper limit. You all know that aesthetic fatigue will affect the selection. Many times, I also have to take care of the mood of the football commentator."

“Thank you everyone for voting for me this year, I’m sad that I didn’t have a strong contender this season.”

Talking about the awards that were about to be announced, everyone started to flatter each other again. Before the interview ended, the ESPN reporter finally asked questions about the next round of competition:

"Lee, the Cavaliers have got the match point, and now they have a great chance of entering the semifinals."

"LeBron James had a great performance in the series, how would you evaluate his progress this season?"

The efficiency value is also rising. Of course, Li You knows that the sports media have been comparing James to himself recently:
"It only took one season to adapt to the league's competition, and LeBron has begun to realize his talent."

"But unfortunately, he can't replicate my experience. Coach Van Gundy has created a suitable system for the Cavaliers, but they still have to settle for a few years."

"."

On May 5, the NBA announced the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) for the 6-2004 season:
Li You of the Knicks won the bronze medal again with an absolute advantage!
The New York media was excited again. In addition to the excitement, there was also a feeling of "being invincible is so lonely" in everyone's hearts.

There was only one game that night, and the Cavaliers, who came to Chicago again, did not give their opponents any chance.

At 102:91, the Cavaliers won the game and eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4:2.

At the end of the game, James was booed wildly at the United Center, but the latter didn't care and came to the sidelines to hug Van Gundy passionately.

Coach Skiles complained in front of the media that the referee was blind and James walked in the last game.

After being fined $15000, Skiles did not shake hands with Van Gundy after tonight's game and continued to express his dissatisfaction.

Outside public opinion did not affect James' good mood. The chosen son hugged the championship coach and said loudly:

"Coach, this is our time!"
