NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 596 Dizziness (Daily Chapter)
On Wednesday, October 2008, 10, NBA fans will once again be able to enjoy Lee You's wonderful performance on the Sports Center show.

This has almost become a habit. After getting up, turning on the TV and wanting to watch sports news, most sports fans will choose ESPN from 6 to 9 o'clock.

The power of time is undoubtedly great. After last night's opening game, the old-school basketball commentators were collectively speechless.

In previous years, these guys might have continued to fight back, but facing the Knicks, who were already winning so many games, they chose to keep silent.

Bill Simmons, a Boston fan and well-known basketball commentator, did not make any humorous comments after the opening game last night as he usually does. Instead, he updated his blog dryly:

“I don’t know if Lee’s form can last a whole season.”

The direction of public opinion became more and more friendly as Li You won more championships. Except for some guys who deceived themselves, most of the shameless commentators turned into yes-men who could only praise him.

It’s not that the number of black fans has decreased. Li You is not a US dollar and it is impossible for everyone to like him. It’s just that he has won too much and those who sing the opposite tune have become clowns, resulting in no one being willing to play such a role now.

Football starts in September, and October is the baseball playoffs and World Series. In November, the popularity of the NBA begins to pick up, and ESPN's programs naturally adjust accordingly.

The accustomed fans didn't react much when they saw Li You won half of the top ten goals on TV. They are not professional football commentators or data experts. What they pursue is to make it look good.

After enjoying the wonderful team cooperation, Derrick Rose's dunk, Oden's block and Kobe's dunk, starting from the fifth goal, we returned to the familiar scenes of previous years.

In the counterattack, Stephen Marbury had a distorted look on his face, his legs were moving very fast, and he tried to dunk with one arm in the frontcourt "1 vs. 0", but was eventually "capped" in the air by Li You who caught up with him after a run-up;
After grabbing the offensive rebound, Perkins "turned the tide" in the paint, pushed Chandler away, and prepared to shoot for the second time, but was blocked by Li You who was helping to defend from behind;
In the transition offense, facing three people blocking him, Li You held the ball with his left hand while moving, pretended to make a layup, faked a layup in the air, and passed the ball behind his back. Prince followed up and caught the ball and dunked with one hand;

Marbury received the ball at the top of the arc and pounced on it, but he lost his defensive position. After breaking through, he was pulled back by Li You and sat on the floor. He had no choice but to watch the left-handed lob.
When seeing the first goal, some young fans in front of the TV laughed out loud, and many people laughed and cursed:
"Kevin Garnett is a wimp!"

Accompanied by Kevin Harlan's exclamation, Li You jumped high and knocked Garnett, who was about to protect the backcourt rebound, off balance. After pausing in the air, he pushed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

The highlights deliberately edited what happened after the goal was scored. Garnett turned his head and glared and was pushed out of the baseline by Li You. This aroused the curiosity of fans who missed the game, and the opening game seemed very interesting.

Fans who like to watch highlights will have a completely different viewing experience than fans who watch the entire game;
Boston fans and New York fans who chose to watch the game live also had different feelings after last night's game:
"What a shitty game! Why did we lose our accuracy again!"

"No one can defeat us! God-Lee taught those clowns a lesson!"

In the studio, hosts Hannah Storm and Josh Elliott introduced the three games of last night with smiles on their faces. When it came to the focus game, they immediately asked Grant Hill:
"I think fans are curious, will 36 shots from beyond the arc a game become 'normal' for the Knicks?"

Hannah Storm, who has participated in many finals broadcasts, added after her partner asked:

"We got a piece of data. In the regular season last season, the Knicks averaged 28.6 shots per game from beyond the three-point line, ranking first in the league. Will the number of shots continue to increase in the new season?"

Hill, who was dressed in a black suit, did not show any surprise when he heard the two people's questions. Instead, he explained very professionally:

"I think this is indeed a tactical adjustment. In the past, many fans questioned why Lee's three-point shooting percentage was very high but he didn't increase his number of shots. Now the answer is in front of us."

"Basketball is a five-person game. When Gasol is on the court, the coaching staff will inevitably increase low-post tactics to ensure that everyone participates in the game."

"But now the situation has changed. When his teammates have not yet recovered to their best form, Li started to use personal offense to solve the problem, which is also the right choice."

"30+ three-point shots will appear frequently in the following games. This is Lee's ability. He can always put the ball into the basket."

Although Josh Elliott also follows the NBA, he doesn't have a deep understanding of the data, and the statistics prepared in advance surprised him.

Seeing Hill's "this is normal" look, I couldn't help but remind him again:
"Lee took 14 shots from beyond the arc, and the entire Celtics team, the entire team, only took 14 shots from the -point line. I think a lot of people are as shocked as I am."

The director once again gave a comparison of the two teams' three-point shooting statistics:
The Knicks shot 36% from three-point range, 15 of 41.7;

The Celtics shot just 14% from beyond the three-point line, making 3 of 21.4 shots.

After three quarters, the Celtics were shot like a sieve, and the Knicks fought more and more courageously in the fourth quarter, and the final score was fixed at 4:91.

After the game, TNT edited out the footage of head coach Rivers opening his mouth wide and looking stunned several times during the game. The number of views on YouTube continues to rise.
"If a player can shoot 50 percent from beyond the arc, what's the reason to stop him from taking that shot?"

"I think Lee has not yet recovered to his best shooting form. Several of his half-court long-range three-pointers were a bit crooked. As the season progresses, I believe his condition will get better and better!"

Grant Hill smiled appropriately, as if he had expected this situation. Upon hearing this answer, Josh Elliott shrugged and joked in front of the camera again:
"I share the same opinion as Coach Rivers regarding the three-point shot!"

The atmosphere in the studio became joyful. This was a joke after the opening game last night. In the post-match press conference, head coach Rivers did not admit that he was not well prepared, but made an excuse:

“I’ve never seen Lee play like this!”

"."

The coach of the home team said this with an admiring tone. Boston fans who read the report after the game were immediately furious, and they were blasting the "best coach" on Reddit and social media.

The game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers also ended after three quarters with the score being 75:98. Oden only played for 10 minutes, and Brandon Roy was suppressed by Mamba throughout the game.

Duncan's performance was mediocre, getting a double-double and handing out 6 assists. Kobe made 17 of 8 shots and scored 23 points efficiently. The Lakers' triangle offense became more and more tacit.

The Bucks and the Bulls were deadlocked until the fourth quarter. Derrick Rose, who was highly expected, performed well in his debut, making 4 of 9 shots, contributing 3 points and 11 assists.

The fans who watched the show on TV did not react much to this. Just like before, most of the time it was just Li You's solo show.

After the three opening games, Li You was not the most popular. Lynch Hunter, who had officially retired, suddenly became popular because his postseason interview was dug up by fans:
"The entire Eastern Conference has been playing basketball games with Lee for so many years. Now I don't want to play anymore. I want to go back to my family. Basketball has only brought me harm!"

"."

As the news spread from the Pistons section of Reddit, more and more fans agreed with what he said, and everyone thought that Lynch Hunter was right.

This outdated veteran has been widely recognized for a sentence after his retirement, and there is a trend of "big fire" in the new season
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be invited to a show soon. To a certain extent, Li You helped the veteran find a job again. Isn't this a way of respecting black players?
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Li You had just finished morning exercise at his home in Manhattan. Ivana, who was preparing for her birthday, was overly enthusiastic. After the fierce confrontation, she still looked full of energy.

Ivana nestled back into Li You's arms, her skin flushed, she took several deep breaths, and couldn't help but kiss him again.

Melinda came back from the bathroom wearing only a nightgown. She looked at the blonde girl with blurry eyes and slowly opened the curtains, causing her to exclaim, before she covered her body.

Li You glanced at the time, kneaded Ivana who was still moving around, and then waved to Melinda who was watching the show, and the latter quickly returned to the bed.

"After your birthday, have you figured out how to celebrate Halloween?"

In previous years, people didn’t really care about this festival, but there are too many little ones at home, so for the sake of a sense of ceremony, we decided to celebrate it properly this year.

Melinda, who was leaning on her arms, blinked her big eyes, not caring about her exposed round and fair skin. Seeing Ivana's expectant eyes, she jokingly said:

"How about a special dance?"

Ivana's face turned even redder as she raised her upper body. This was actually her idea. After working for half a year, she wanted to try something new. At some point, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she was looking forward to those little games. After being held by her fair skin again, Ivana squeezed into Li You's arms, changed the subject to cover up her expectations, and asked in a low voice with her head raised:

"Dear, is there anyone else you want to invite?"

Donald plans to hold a grand birthday party for his baby daughter this year at his beloved Florida estate, with the main purpose of showing off wealth and introducing new family members.

In mid-September, Forbes released its latest list. Bill Gates, with a net worth of 9 billion US dollars, returned to the top of the list, while Li You quietly came to 570th place.

In the wealth snapshot as of August 8, Li You's personal wealth was estimated to be 29 billion, even after the depreciation of the Peninsula Manor. If it were based on the market conditions of previous years, the number would be a little higher.

In fact, the "wealth feast" has not yet ended. After the hearing is held in mid-November, as long as we follow the federation's pace and reap Europe's wealth once again, our personal assets will continue to rise.

Now Ax Capital is still gathering funds. In addition to preparing to purchase excellent CDS, the time has come to "open fire" on British banks.

Interestingly, after the list was released, Donald was squeezed out. With a minimum net worth threshold of $13 billion, Forbes believed that his assets had shrunk by more than half, which made the old guy very angry.

Not everyone likes to be on the list. Low-key tycoons never show off their wealth, but some people need this list. After all, this is the United States, and the US dollar sometimes means respect.

"You can invite more of your friends. I don't think he will mind."

Ivana was even happier after hearing Li You's words. The huge wealth made her feel "dizzy" in the past few months.

In fact, she had no say in this year's birthday party. Tang Nade planned to invite old friends and members of the Donkey Party, and his beloved daughter's friends were not in the plan.

Looking at the naked busty girl enthusiastically preparing the invitation, Li You touched his chin guiltily. He originally wanted to make her happy, but only then did he remember that Georgina might be invited.

Bloomberg has the largest increase in wealth, with 200 billion US dollars, ranking 8th. The old man would hint at it whenever he had the chance, but the good daughter never admitted it, but teased Li You from time to time.
Melinda looked at Ivana's tall and plump figure and chuckled. She rolled her big watery eyes and whispered in Li You's ear.

Hearing the "bad idea", Li You couldn't help but kissed the thoughtful big-breasted girl hard, hugged her in his arms, and said with emotion:
"It would be great if Kim could come back. We need to prepare a private jet. American Express's service is not suitable for her to use."

After delivering his speech at the Elephant Party convention, King began preparing for the New Mexico House of Representatives election. Deciding which district to run for is important and could affect developments in the next few years.

When talking about future plans, Melinda's voice became clearer. She took the initiative to hug Li You in her arms and whispered softly:
"You've done well enough, so much money, enough to support a future gubernatorial campaign."

Thinking of the situation in his "hometown", Li You remained silent. This was a completely unfamiliar area, but fortunately there was some support behind him.

Ivana was so immersed in her wealth that she forgot about her baby son. It was not until she was picked up by Li You and taken to the bathroom that the young mother reacted:
"I forgot to prepare a dress for Cyrus!"

On Thursday, October 10, the Knicks played their first away game of the new season against the 30ers next door.

Although the journey is short, it does not affect the rookie Chalmers' service to the boss. In the first game of his career, he got 1 minutes of playing time and "controlled the team" in the second half of the fourth quarter.

As long as Rondo leaves next season, Chalmers is confident that he can squeeze into the regular rotation, and he is looking forward to it very much!
Although Chalmers had personally experienced Li You's superb personal strength during training sessions during the off-season, the rookie was still shocked when he saw his opponent being overwhelmed by one man in the opening game.

Gary Neal got up before 6 o'clock. He was woken up and watched the newbie pick and choose. He chose 4 oranges. He was speechless for a moment and said in a low voice:

"I remember you were very opposed to this during the summer league!"

Chalmers thought that squeezing orange juice with a tool hand was also a technical job. After hearing his roommate's words, he immediately vowed:
"No, I'm just thanking Lee for taking care of the rookie!"

"33 minutes, 42 points, it's like God is playing. Playing next to Lee, maybe I can become a superstar."

Most of the veteran players of the Knicks would choose single rooms, and the rookies would choose double rooms in order to fit in with the team. Although he knew that his roommate was a bootlicker, Gary Neal still felt speechless at this time.

Gary Neal looked at the newbie carefully carrying the plate away and couldn't help but complain:

"The rookie is crazy."

At 6:30, Chalmers knocked on Li You's door on time. He saw the boss naked with a newspaper in his hand. While handing him juice, he showed a guilty look:

"Sorry, Boss, I shouldn't have forgotten the newspaper!"

"Try it. I also prepared sugar and honey."

The Philadelphia Inquirer was delivered by Patrick Ewing Jr. Although Li You did not make things difficult for his "eldest nephew", Ewing Jr. was very conscious and took the initiative to take over the job of carrying the bag and delivering the newspapers.

"Don't be nervous, Mario! As long as you can deliver satisfactory data within the limited time, your playing time will always increase."

"I understand Rondo's choice. After all, in the next few years, as long as he stays here, he is destined not to get a starting position. You know, he is not a combo guard."

"The coach will give you more opportunities, but you have to perform better in training. Coach D'Antoni needs a reason. You have to speak with data!"

After hearing Li You’s “teaching”, the newbie Chalmers handed over the large glass of orange juice with both hands, and a happy look appeared on his face. His future is bright.

"All I know is, Boss, what instructions do you have for tonight's game?"

Li You, who was drinking orange juice in big gulps, showed a satisfied look on his face. After putting down the cup, he saw the newbie's expectant look, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone:

“Remember to stretch your body early. The game will soon lose suspense. Maybe in the fourth quarter, the fans will leave the stadium.”

"."

With less than 19 minutes left until 10 p.m., 76ers home commentator Mark Zumoff was in a bad mood. Last night, after losing to the Raptors, the arrival of "The Captain" did not seem to change the team.

“23中14，三分线外14中7，罚球7中7，李在揭幕战中，33分钟就轰下42分4篮板10助攻2抢断2盖帽2失误的数据！”

"Our inside defense will face a huge test tonight. I think the fans in Philadelphia are looking forward to victory just like me."

There was bitterness in his tone. Since Iverson joined the team in 96, the 76ers have never won against the Knicks.
The attendance figures speak for themselves, with some front row seats empty as the game was about to start and ticket sales down despite the new signings.

After the game officially started, in the first round, Li You easily hit a three-pointer against the "Captain" in a pick-and-roll, and then Dalembert dropped the ball and the Knicks launched a counterattack.

The familiar feeling made commentator Mark Zumov "dizzy". Seeing Li You's fast break, he subconsciously said:

"The 76ers need someone to step up"
