NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 735 "Champion" (8000 words chapter)
As the broadcaster of the NBA Finals, ABC has always been troubled over the years because there are too few games in June every year.

Since 00, the Knicks have rarely given their opponents any chances, and their outrageous dominance has always made the series appear one-sided.

In the years when ratings were declining, advertisers and the league were dissatisfied, and broadcasters also began to have headaches. Compared with the "golden age", the NBA has declined significantly.

However, since the restart of the West Coast and East Coast showdown, this situation has improved. In 2010, with Tim Duncan's inadvertent "clumsiness", the Finals finally returned to its peak!
Putting aside the injuries, advertisers and the league are very satisfied. The finals should have gone to Game 5. The ratings are the best proof. The Knicks' loss will attract more attention.

On the evening of the 13th, the decisive battle of Mountain Kings began. After the game started, the three commentators who received instructions tried their best to add drama to the game after the opening, and kept repeating the topic of "injury".

But after the first quarter, Jeff Van Gundy was running out of stories to tell. Feeling the quietness of Staples Center, the championship coach could only say euphemistically:
"Kobe, who is playing with an injury, doesn't seem to have found his game form yet. The Lakers still have a chance and they have enough time to turn the game around."

"The key lies in the defense in the second quarter. They must respond on the offensive end. It is difficult to win a championship by relying only on defense."

41:14, the score difference has reached 27 points. In less than half a quarter, the Lakers were defeated by the Knicks' violent offense.
Facts have proved that as long as Li You is on the court, it is difficult for the defending champion to lose. Judging from the results, Tim Duncan made the right choice and the MVP knows what is needed to win.

"shush"

The boos in the arena could not be stopped. It was supposed to be a crucial game, but they lost right at the start. Kobe's 6-for-1 performance was simply unbearable. Some Los Angeles fans took advantage of the second quarter to start shouting:
"Kobe Out!!"

Rejecting Phil Jackson's substitution, Kobe dragged his heavy feet back to the court. Mamba was sweating profusely, and an impatient emotion involuntarily appeared on his dark face.

On the CCTV commentary booth, watching Dio dribbling the ball across half court, the Knicks began to pass the ball online again, and Zhang Weiping continued to output Mamba as usual:
"When Kobe gets the ball, the Lakers' offense stagnates, and their defense is also not good. Playing with an injury is really not a good choice. If they continue to lose like this, there will be no suspense at the end of the half."

"This is a beautiful shot. The defending champion played it reasonably and the ball moved so quickly!"

Gasol received the ball at the free throw line and passed it to Dio who cut in. After receiving the ball, the latter broke into the basket and made a circle. When he came to the left side near the baseline, he suddenly made a ground pass while moving.

When Li You cut in from the left wing and received the ball, Kobe had already been left behind. Odom had to assist in defending the basket, stopping at the lower left side of the basket and watching Li You pass the ball to the left corner.

Dio, who was unguarded, did not make any adjustments. He just twisted his body, stood firm, received the ball and immediately made a jump shot!

44:14, the Frenchman grinned and high-fived Li You to celebrate, and his opponent became vulnerable again.

There was no expected tit-for-tat confrontation, nor the so-called "return of the king". Li You just came on the court to play and activate his teammates, and the game collapsed. Yang Yi saw it clearly and sighed at this time:
"The game was completely messed up. Li You reduced his ball-holding offense and moved more without the ball, making it difficult for the Lakers to double-team him."

"Everyone dares to attack. The gap in strength is too big. No wonder Duncan even used his best moves. If he hadn't used it again, he would have gone home to fish by now."

Duncan, who received the ball in the left blocking area, ignored Kobe's request for the ball on the wing, turned quickly towards the baseline after the shot, faced Gasol, and made a jump shot off the backboard!

The two-point shot seemed particularly weak at this time. Yang Jian was worried that the old man would criticize Mamba again, so he sighed:
"It's a bit hopeless to rely on only 2 points. Someone from the Lakers needs to step up."

"Defense!."

The defensive cheers became quieter and quieter. In a simple pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Kobe was left behind by Li You who was holding the ball with his left hand. Duncan hurriedly switched defense, and Gasol behind him had already started to move down.

With his hands raised high and sliding continuously, he followed Li You in circles under the basket. When he saw the big man behind him, Duncan hurriedly stopped and loudly signaled Kobe to switch back.

Near the right corner, Li You suddenly threw the ball upward. Dio on the right wing was left one step behind by Odom at this time. He calmly received the ball and immediately passed it back.

Kobe, who switched defense, gritted his teeth and tried to defend, but Li You just made a "fake shot". Mamba flew out of the baseline and could only watch Li You move and shoot.

47:16, the score difference is still widening, and the Staples Center becomes quieter.

Li You made a shot and high-fived his teammates with a relaxed look. Seeing this, Mark Jackson subconsciously complained about the Lakers' poor performance:
"Unbelievable, this is a crucial G5! Lee has hit his fifth three-pointer, God! He killed the game with just a shot"

Thaddeus Young almost intercepted Farmar's cross pass. On the right wing, Barnes barely controlled the ball and under pressure, he hurriedly passed the ball to Odom.

Duncan, who was trying to squeeze under the basket, was still tugging at Gasol. As the two pushed each other, the referee immediately blew the whistle. Noticing Gasol shaking his head and talking trash, Zhang Weiping began to blow the whistle as usual:

"Gasol is really tough! We can't blame him for the team's lack of outside shots, but his defense is really good. He didn't give up an inch in these few games."

The old man had just praised him when the ball was kicked out from the sideline. Duncan swayed right and left in the left blocking area, and cut into the basket with a beautiful fake move. He noticed Dio's assist in defense and immediately passed the ball.

"This ball looks like a traveling move."

Zhang Weiping's display of double standards almost made the two of them laugh. Odom received the ball under the basket and tried to shoot, but the basket was a bit crowded and the basketball hit the rim and bounced out due to interference.

"Oh"

Seeing the basketball being hit into Li You's hands, the Los Angeles fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim. Kobe, who was retreating, slid in advance, but soon lost his defensive position.

Li You rushed across the center line and dribbled the ball behind his back. After getting rid of Kobe, he accelerated laterally, then quickly took a step back and drifted to throw the ball. Mamba only had time to raise his hand symbolically.

"Lee! Way downtown!"

"Bang!"

Mike Breen saw the three-pointer go in and instantly raised his voice. He still seemed to find it outrageous and added with some confusion:
"Incredible! Lee seems to have changed his shooting style tonight, and his shooting speed is even faster! How did he do that!?"

The Lakers had already requested a timeout. In the center of the court, Li Youzheng was smiling, with his hands on his hips and shaking his shoulders happily.

JR Smith and several others who rushed over from the bench also started to twist around. They had changed from the sluggish state of the previous game, and everyone had a happy look on their face.

Mark Jackson, who watched the replay, confirmed that Li You had indeed changed his shooting power mode. In fact, he had discovered it a long time ago, but he was not sure until he observed multiple rounds:
"It's incredible! The ankle injury did have some impact, but Lee's shooting percentage seems to be higher!"

"."

50:16, the game lost suspense. After the Knicks' shooting percentage reached 86.7% in the first quarter, G5 became a one-sided game.

The director thoughtfully showed the core statistics of both players to the fans in front of the TV:
8中8，三分线外6中6，罚球4中4，26分2篮板3助攻1抢断，李佑暂时小胜湖人队；

7中3，罚球4中2，8分5篮板1助攻2失误，邓肯拿到了全队一半的分数，依旧独木难支。

As for Kobe, he has been ignored at this point. He played really poorly tonight. Just like the previous two years, Mamba always performed poorly in key games.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting in front of everyone, was also not motivated. When Diao and Gasol acted as dealers, the defense system collapsed, and Kobe could not respond at all on the offensive end:

"We need to reduce the gap to 20 points first."

After saying this, the old man KFC himself almost couldn't hold it together. This game couldn't be won!
Kobe Bryant, who was baring his teeth, and Duncan, who was glaring at the tactics board, were still actively responding to the coach's arrangements. Fisher took off his training clothes and clapped his hands to encourage him:
"Hold on, Bro!!"

In the offensive round after the timeout, Duncan arched to the lower right side of the basket and swung the ball with his right hand. The Knicks team retreated completely. In the left corner, Barnes was left open and hit another three-pointer!

The Lakers still stuck to their defensive strategy. After the pick-and-roll, they pounced on Li You who was breaking through with the ball in his right hand at the top of the arc. Fisher, who had just come on the court, moved his feet and the basketball flew to the right wing.

Although Fish tried hard to defend, JR Smith still made a confident shot. As the three-pointer went into the net, the Knicks bench was filled with jubilation.

"shush"

Amid boos, Kobe staggered as he broke through with the ball in his right hand and barely approached the paint area. He turned around while moving and his left-handed shot in the paint was blocked directly by Li You.

Mamba lost his balance while trying to steal the ball, and fell to the ground, watching Li You rush forward with the ball.

The Lakers failed to retreat in time, and Li You made a long-distance ground pass near the center line. Marion left Barnes behind, received the ball inside the three-point line, took three steps forward and slammed it with both hands!
55:19, with 7 minutes left in the second quarter, many Lakers fans have left their seats.

On the offensive end, Kobe once again held the ball with his left hand and rushed to the basket. He broke through the middle and attracted the defense. He rushed into the encirclement and screamed and dropped the ball again.
Li You quickly took control of the ball after a powerful cut. As soon as Mamba stood up, the basketball had already flown to JR Smith on the left wing. The latter took the ball, dribbled one step, and decisively missed the three-pointer.

The long rebound bounced out, and before Kobe could match up, Li You had already picked up the ball in the paint area, pretended to break through, and threw the ball to the upper right side of the basket.

Duncan barely jumped, but the basketball still passed over his fingertips. Gasol behind him scooped the ball in the air and pushed it into the basket through the defense.

"what!!"

Gasol's loud roar made the New York fans in the stadium boil. The frustrated Duncan smashed the ball again, he knew the game was over.

Fisher shook off J.R. Smith and made a quick stop jump shot at the free throw line to stop the bleeding. On the defensive end, Fisher was passed by one step on the left wing, and J.R. Smith, who broke through the blocking area, made a quick stop jump shot.

Kobe rushed into the crowd and passed the ball back to Odom at the top of the arc with difficulty. The latter was unguarded. He hesitated, took a step, and missed the long two-point shot.

"Shet!!"

Kobe was knocked to the floor by Li You while grabbing the rebound. Without even looking at the referee who blew the whistle, he stood up and yelled at Odom.

The excited Mamba tried to pressure the defense, but his hard sliding didn't have much effect.

Approaching the left wing, Li You simply stopped and blew the ball, pretended to turn around, lowered his center of gravity, and scooped up the ball with his left hand, instantly breaking through the defense.
Amid cheers, Li You easily cut into the basket, held the ball with his left hand while moving, and without waiting for help from the defense under the basket, he threw the ball high towards the backboard.

The basketball almost hit the top of the backboard. Duncan jumped with all his might and turned his head helplessly, watching the basketball fall into the net.

"Kobe has to go down. His defense is like directing traffic! He rushes in one after another, and when he dribbles too much on offense, he just rushes into the crowd."

On CCTV commentary, Zhang Weiping continued to criticize the Mamba, and when he noticed that Kobe was still asking for the ball, he stopped acting and complained bluntly:

"A toxic style of play! This is just random throwing!"

On the left wing, Kobe missed a long-range three-pointer. On defense, Li You didn't even stretch out his hand, and Mamba turned around and rushed to the paint area after shooting.

The long rebound was picked up by Li You again. Kobe gritted his teeth and tried to foul, but just as he jumped in front of him, he was thrown away by the gyroscope.

Kobe twisted his body and tried to pull it, but his knee hurt and he was a beat late, so he only touched the air.
Barnes, who was retreating in a hurry, watched Li You and Marion passing the ball to each other. Finally, he had no choice but to stop in the paint area. He turned his head and watched the veteran take off, grab the ball and dunk it in the upper left corner of the basket!

"what!!"

He regained his fierce feeling in fast breaks, and Marion roared passionately. The veteran ran very fast tonight and was at the front line in every fast break.

The score gap became larger and larger, and the Lakers could only respond with free throws. Duncan, who was standing on the free throw line, was also sweating profusely. The opponent was getting smaller and smaller, and they had to fight for the ball every time they received it.

As time went by, Li You finally missed a shot from beyond the three-point line. Seeing this, Mark Jackson praised him:
"God bless! Li still left a glimmer of hope for his opponent!"

Fisher tried hard to advance, but he still failed to seize the rare opportunity for transition offense. Fortunately, Mamba finally received the ball at the top of the arc and made a three-pointer in positional offense.

Seeing Li You clapping his hands regretfully after he went to the paint area to wait for the rebound, Kobe was so angry that his eyes turned red. His "mortal enemy" had already started shooting three-pointers.
With 1 minute and 56 seconds left in the first half, the Knicks slowed down their offensive tempo again. Li You passed the ball early and directed the game from the left wing.

Dio was still assisting at the free throw line. The Frenchman signaled Chalmers, who came on as a substitute, to receive the ball and complete the two-man cooperation. After a short pass, he quickly came to the right wing for a fake screen.

The newbie tried hard to show himself and successfully got rid of Fisher's entanglement. Without waiting for Odom to assist in defense, he accurately passed the ball to Dio who cut into the basket at the first time.

Facing Duncan who was defending two people under the basket, Dio noticed Barnes' retreat and threw the ball directly to the left corner while moving.

The beautiful pass caused exclamations in the stadium. Facing Barnes' defense, Marion, who received the ball, did not shoot hastily, but passed the ball to Li You on the left wing.

Because he was "directing traffic", Li You was still some distance away from the three-point line, but the moment he raised the ball, Kobe subconsciously jumped on him.
"Another one! Kobe should rest in the next game! This defense is really bad."

Zhang Weiping was the first to criticize Mamba. As soon as the old man finished speaking, the two people beside him screamed in surprise, and Yang Jian even said "Oh my God".

Li You, who had not attacked the basket aggressively since the start of the game, passed Kobe this time with a very fast speed and big steps. In the blink of an eye, he reached the left blocking area, causing the fans at the scene to scream loudly.

Barnes, who was returning to defense, subconsciously stopped and made way. Although Duncan under the basket reacted a little slow, he jumped up bravely with his eyes wide open.

One step away from the legal collision zone, Li You has already taken a step and taken off. He grabs the ball with his right hand in the air and pulls his arm back, tightening his left elbow when facing a block.

The protective action had an unexpected effect. Duncan didn't jump high enough and tried to pull hard, but he was hit in the face by an elbow.
"Oh!!"

Behind the basket, the fans in the front row screamed subconsciously, and when they saw Duncan's head tilted back and blood spurting out, they all covered their mouths.

The collision happened too quickly, the basket exploded, Li You's ball floated in the air, and before the baseline referee could react, Duncan had already lost his balance in the air and hit the ground with his head tilted.

Although Mike Breen didn't see what happened, he knew something was wrong with the way Duncan fell. In addition, he seemed to be motionless on the floor, so he subconsciously exclaimed:
"God! Duncan looks like he has lost consciousness!" Li You fell to the ground and avoided the lying Duncan. He seemed to feel very guilty about the dunk just now. He made the sign of the cross and shouted loudly to the bench:

"Come here quickly! Tim seems to be unconscious!"

Because his right shoulder hit the ground when he landed, his head also suffered a second collision. The medical staff hurriedly straightened his head. After examination, they found that his mouth was full of blood. Duncan could no longer speak, so they immediately called for a stretcher.

Only Kobe was still shouting angrily. The other Lakers players, like Li You, began to make the sign of the cross and pray to God.

"Damn it! He did it on purpose! Fuck, you fucking wimps."

Mamba was pulled back to the bench and angrily cursed the atmosphere group beside him. The moment he was passed, he could clearly feel Li You's speed, and he was definitely aiming at his partner.

"You should have fouled me, damn it! You made way again!"

Kobe pointed at Barnes in anger and complained loudly. If it was delayed, how could Li You complete the charge? The champion forward was not a good-tempered person. Hearing the accusation, he immediately retorted:

"Damn it Nico, you got dribbled past! Why didn't you make way? The dunk is only worth 2 points!"

"If you could score more points, the game wouldn't be so shit."

On the field, players from both teams, at the call of Li You, cooperated with the staff to lift Duncan onto a stretcher. Due to the collision of the head, the MVP had been tied up like a dough stick and his whole body was immobilized.

Watching Duncan being carried out of the field, Li You and others once again made the sign of the cross and prayed together. The fans in the Staples Center also stood up and applauded, sending their blessings to the MVP.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe, whose face was dark with anger, had already started pushing and shoving Barnes. The two started to fight while cursing at each other, which stunned several members of the coaching staff.

Kobe had long been unhappy with the champion forward and thought Barnes was the traitor. After being pulled back by his teammates, he shouted in anger:
"If you don't want to defend, go to the bench! I don't need a fucking stake!"

The continuous straight punches were interrupted. After being hugged by Fisher, Barnes did not show mercy in his words, staring at him and shouting angrily:

"You are the biggest cancer on the court! You act like shit, don't think you are like Lee, you are a clown, without Shaq, you can't do anything."

"."

Referee Joe Crawford was confused. Why did they suddenly start fighting on the bench? The New York fans at the scene became excited again and shouted at the top of their lungs:

“Fuck Kobe!”

Phil Jackson's blood pressure soared due to this scene. The usually calm and composed KFC old man blushed and roared loudly:

"Everyone, sit down and don't let others make fun of you like an idiot!!"

Duncan, who was carried into the player tunnel at this time, felt dizzy. With his mind blank, he tried to speak out loud:
“I want to get back in the game”

The Lakers staff just felt sad. Even though they were 30 points behind, Duncan still didn't give up. The MVP really tried his best.

"This is incredible! Slow motion, Li You has tried his best to retract his left arm, but he jumped too high. Few players in the league can withstand this impact."

After replaying the slow motion several times, Zhang Weiping began his routine praise, then changed the subject and started to criticize Mamba again:
"Kobe has no leadership qualities! He started shoving and fighting with his teammates even though they were so far behind. If it was Michael Jordan, he could still score 20 points even with an injury, and the game wouldn't have been wasted in just one quarter."

"The retirement of the Zen Master has a lot to do with coaching Kobe. The coach can't play. This core is really not good."

Although it is suspected that Li You used the "killer basketball", no matter how the video is replayed, there is no elbowing action. Instead, the more you watch it, the more it looks like protecting the defender. Yang Yi is really hard to comment, and can only criticize Mamba together:
"Kobe's spirit is worthy of praise, but we should not force him to fight with an injury."

"Maybe we were asking too much, and they only needed one step to get through in many rounds. Kobe's performance was really not good. The Lakers gave up in this game, and there probably won't be a Game 7."

After the Lakers' bench farce subsided, Barnes was replaced by Vujacic and veteran Joe Smith replaced Duncan.

Odom, who was running towards the half court, saw Li You high-fiving his teammates again and again, and for a moment he was completely "soft". He felt like he was playing against a "monster" as he was still able to dunk even with an injured ankle.

Odom lost his temper and stopped actively responding. He watched Kobe dribbling the ball on the left wing and finally got double-teamed near the left baseline and lost the ball.
"Shet!!"

The basketball was directly pulled away from his arms by Li You. Kobe's knee was in pain, his face was grim, and he sat on the floor and cursed.

With 5 against 4, Chalmers seized the open opportunity and made another three-pointer from the right wing.

The newbie shouted loudly, his face full of excitement. This was the rhythm of the game he liked. The basket seemed to have grown several times bigger.
In the last minute or so, apart from Vujacic's three-pointer, the Lakers could only score points through free throws.

After Li You pressed the time and changed direction in front of the arc to pass Kobe, the help defense was gone, and Odom and Joe Smith watched the layup go off the bank.

77:34, halftime ended, only New York fans were shouting loudly in the Staples Center, and some of the screaming seats were empty.

James, Wade and others sitting in the front row looked at each other in bewilderment. They almost thought they had traveled through time. Was this the crucial Game 5? Losing by 43 points in the first half?
"Damn it, he did it on purpose! These old guys just like to play like that!"

Anthony covered his mouth and whispered to his two friends. Lala, who was standing by, felt a little envious when she saw Li You interacting with the New York fans. She thought her boyfriend should develop in a big city.

"LeBron should know better than us!"

Elbowing his good brother next to him, Wade also covered his mouth and teased with a smile. James could only shrug his shoulders and did not express his agreement. Instead, he said meaningfully:

"Three-point shots! Defense, transition offense, this is modern basketball. I knew the Lakers had no chance."

“They’re definitely going to rebuild!”

Hearing the hidden meaning of his friend's words, Anthony was a little moved. Lala has been encouraging him to leave Denver. He plans to confront the team during the offseason and will not renew his contract.

Los Angeles is undoubtedly the best choice. If he can squeeze out Kobe, Anthony feels that he has a bright future. This powerful team suits his temperament!

The three began to discuss in a low voice again. Los Angeles without Kobe is very attractive.

After the second half of the game started, the three ABC commentators stopped talking about the game. Garbage time arrived early, so Van Gundy simply talked about the next Game 6:

"If Duncan can return, the Lakers going to New York still have some chance."

"I understand Duncan's feelings, but the defense in the first half was indeed not a smart choice. He should thank Lee for his protection."

The defensive intensity dropped, Odom's condition improved, and he led the Lakers to close the score. Mark Jackson looked at Li You who was entangled with Kobe and said sympathetically:

"Without Tim Duncan, I think Lee will be able to lift the O'Brien Trophy in Madison Square Garden after Game 6!"

"Lee showed us his dominance again tonight. He can dominate the game even without the ball in hand."

"Look at Li's shooting. Only after countless times of honing his basketball skills can he calmly change his strength and rhythm!"

"."

More than three minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers lost consecutive backcourt rebounds. Phil Jackson on the sidelines stared with wide eyes as he watched Gasol throw the ball beyond the three-point line again.

The old man from KFC wanted to shout loudly, but on the left wing, two steps away from the three-point line, Li You took a tentative step and shot directly.

"Oh!!"

The New York fans at the scene were jumping and shouting loudly. Mamba was frightened by the sudden attack and was punished for keeping a defensive distance.

Covering his forehead, Phil Jackson was so excited that he couldn't speak. Rambis, who realized something was wrong, hurriedly helped the old man back to his seat. Before he could say anything to comfort him, he heard instructions:
"After the official timeout, make a substitution immediately! I don't want to be humiliated again"

"Kobe wouldn't agree to that."

Rambis reminded him in a low voice with some embarrassment. The old man at KFC was in no mood to lecture him, so he immediately said angrily:

"Then let him continue to perform on the court!"

With 3 minutes and 6 seconds left in the third quarter, D'Antoni smiled and patted Li You who was walking towards the bench. The man with a mustache became full of energy again. It seemed that clinging to someone's influence was indeed effective.

The Knicks atmosphere team is eager to try. The game rhythm that everyone is most familiar with has arrived. Whether they can present a "58" to the boss depends on their performance.

The two sides began to rotate. Kobe was still on the Lakers side, and Mamba looked determined and still did not give up.

Matthews and others who actively showed themselves soon made Kobe suffer. Not only did they have huge defensive movements, but they also liked to start from this point on the offensive end.

Although the furious Kobe recovered, his teammates were not in the mood to play. Luke Walton's return pass was too powerful, allowing Matthews, who was defending closely, to steal the ball directly.

"Oh"

Near the left sideline, Cole, who was trying to steal the ball, was hit by an elbow from Matthews. Mamba fell to the ground holding his ribs, and the referee immediately called a technical foul.

Kobe, lying on the floor, showed a look of pain, but when he saw the coaching staff signaling for a substitution, he immediately stood up to stop it.

The referee's whistle failed to make the Knicks atmosphere team restrain their actions. In the next few rounds, Kobe's breakthroughs were followed by pursuit and interception. At the end of the third quarter, Ibaka's block made Mamba fall to the ground again.

Kobe continued to hold on after making free throws until the end of the third quarter, when he was tripped by Matthews after a pick-and-roll and Mamba could no longer hold on.

Both of them fell to the floor. Matthews quickly stood up, beating his chest and roaring while mocking Kobe:

"Niko, don't think you're the only ones who know these tricks!"

Charles Oakley on the sidelines nodded repeatedly, and Ben Wallace on the side also applauded the rookie's tough defense. Just like what he said in G3, "Watch your legs," the rookie responded.

When Kobe was limping off the court by his teammates, his eyes were red. No one from this bunch of wimps helped him, and he knew the game was completely over.

The pain in his fingers and knees made Kobe unable to speak as he returned to his seat. He could only breathe quietly. When the fourth quarter started, Mamba covered his head with a towel.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, most of the fans in the Staples Center had already left. On the Knicks bench, Li You was still cheering on the atmosphere group with his teammates.

It was a rare opportunity for Danny Green to appear on the court, and the rookie put in all his effort to leave a good impression on the boss and the coaching staff. He spared no effort on both offense and defense and strictly implemented tactical coordination.

In contrast, Vujacic and his teammates had already started playing recklessly, and after the score difference reached 50 points, they just hoped that the game would end soon.

With one minute left in the game, Danny Green finally hit a three-pointer from the right wing, and the rookie jumped up and down to celebrate passionately.

In the last few tens of seconds, the two sides stopped attacking after a fight. When the time ran out, a buzzer sounded and the score was fixed at 138:80. In the crucial Game 5, the Lakers lost by 58 points.
Above the arena, New York fans celebrated wildly. When most of the people around them had left, the young people began to shout loudly:
"God-Lee! God-Lee! God-Lee!."

Li You, who had changed into a training suit early, smiled and patted Danny Green on the shoulder, and loudly encouraged the newbie:

"Good job, Bro! You're going to be a great three-point shooter!"

Danny Green was beaming with joy after getting the approval from the boss. However, when he saw Matthews hugging Li You with tears in his eyes, he felt numb again. He was definitely no match for this flatterer.

When Li You was away, Matthews and JR Smith became soft. After their return, they became "tough". Danny Green has learned some "skills" again.

When the CCTV team arrived at the venue to prepare for the interview, the three began to summarize the game. Yang Yi and Yang Jian were still analyzing seriously, but Zhang Weiping grinned when talking about Game 6, completely breaking off the pretense:
"Li You is truly amazing! He defeated his opponent with just one leg!"

"Game 6 is the champion! Let's return to the home court to present the awards! We can also feel the atmosphere of this basketball mecca together!"

"."

On the Lakers bench, Kobe still didn't get up. In the end, Fisher and others lifted Mamba up. Most of the Los Angeles fans on both sides of the player tunnel left, and some were still shouting and cursing.

After the group entered the player tunnel, Kobe could no longer suppress his surging emotions and silently shed tears. Odom sighed secretly and whispered encouragement:

"Basketball is over, Bro! It's time to get back to our lives."
