Theo Ratliff and Matt Geiger couldn't help but nod when they heard the coach's words.

The two teams play against each other frequently, and the 76ers' big man is also familiar with Li You's style of play. Although big delays are uncomfortable, they are the best defensive option.

Seeing that Iverson was still absent-minded, Larry Brown was not in a good mood, so he simply named him and said:

"Allen, we need to score more points, handle the ball faster, and pay attention to controlling mistakes!"

"Everyone must pay attention to this. The opponent is the defending champion and has only averaged 13.5 turnovers per game this season. Don't imagine that the opponent will give us a chance."

After coming back to his senses, Iverson nodded in agreement, but when he thought about watching Li You receive the award at Madison Square Garden that night, he felt particularly unhappy.

Everyone in the Knicks has been preparing for the game step by step these two days. Since there are so many games in the regular season, it is difficult for everyone to feel a sense of urgency.

Ewing, who failed to lose weight, felt sad when he saw the New York media praising Li You every day, but he still maintained his leadership style in the locker room.

After the morning training session, the gorilla took advantage of everyone returning to the locker room and immediately encouraged him loudly:

"This year is definitely the best time for us to defend our title. Entering the playoffs, everyone is nervous."

Sprewell looked at Ewing who had a lot of flesh on his face and secretly pouted.

He is not in the starting lineup, but there is a high probability that he will win the 6th Man of the Year Award. The "Madman" has gained something this season!

Oakley didn't care about opponents like the 76ers at all. The old guy returned to his seat and casually echoed:

"Even if we let that little guy get to the basket, it won't take him half a game and he will have no touch at all."

Alan Houston and Larry Johnson were also very confident. They discussed in low voices what to eat for lunch. Seeing that no one paid attention to their opponents, Li You simply reminded:

"It's still the same as before, control your mistakes, the scorer in the opponent's rotation is a first-year rookie, give him some color!"

Sprewell nodded in agreement and rotated the lineup. He was the main scorer and happened to be opposite Larry Hughes. He responded confidently to Li You's reminder.

The atmosphere team is also very motivated. Without Jeff Van Gundy's chicken soup, everyone is full of confidence in the 76ers.

At 19:30 that night, half an hour before the game started, Madison Square Garden was already full.

Tickets were in short supply, and most of the fans who bought them were to witness Li You win the scoring trophy at home. As for the 76ers, no one cared.

When Ewing and Oakley come on the court, the New York fans present will still give huge cheers to the two veterans.

Li You, who was the last one to appear, brought the atmosphere of the arena to a climax.

On the visiting team's bench, Iverson found that he couldn't even get a boo. The swollen New York fans obviously regarded him as a rookie.

Iverson, who was wearing training clothes, looked at Li You "fully armed" and took the scoring champion's crystal trophy in the center of the field with a smile, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

“Damn New York!”

After NBA Vice President Lars Greinke handed the trophy to Li You, he smiled and applauded with the league staff.

In the center of the field, Li You, wearing the white home jersey of the Knicks, raised the trophy, and loud shouts immediately sounded in the arena:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
