"One, Two!"

"One, Two, Three!"

"."

Rhythmic shouts and the sound of sneakers scraping against the floor filled Toronto's Skydome.

Wearing a blue training uniform, assistant coach Don Chaney, with his belly puffed out, followed Li You while running and bouncing to the beat.

It was a simple dribbling training around obstacles, but Li You added some tricks.

The basketballs currently used for training are specially made and are heavier. In addition, Li You wears gloves, so he has to spend more effort if he wants to complete technical movements quickly.

Dribbling under the crotch, changing direction in front of the body, dribbling under the crotch, dribbling behind the back, changing direction in front of the body

Li You, who was doing basic exercises, was not affected at all and completed these basic movements meticulously.

The sound of "bang bang" sounded frequently in the training hall. On the other side, the old guy who was stretching was already accustomed to these training items.

"What an enviable talent. To be introduced to basketball at the age of 5? I have already begun to believe the nonsense of those New York media!"

Charles Oakley lay on the floor and stretched his legs. After sighing, he also pouted at the toady Charlie Ward.

It's a lemon in my heart, although Charlie Ward won the starting position tonight, and with his recent excellent training performance, he squeezed out Chris Childs, who just joined the team.

But this toady knew in his heart that Li You's shooting performance was better and his style of play looked gorgeous but was actually quite stable. He was able to get the starting job mainly because he was more suitable for these veterans and liked to pass the ball to Ewing.

"Li, take a break, the coaching staff should really add some young people!"

Qian Downey stopped and asked Li You to take a rest. He said to complement the young man, but this man was reluctant to give up his seat.

"I have to thank Old Mike for the customized training equipment. Donnie, it's time to lose weight!"

Li You casually handed the ball to the newbie John Wallace, smiling and patting the assistant coach's belly. Unlike Thibodeau, this assistant coach usually prefers to explain some offensive routines.

"Don't worry, Lee, you'll get a chance to start, but you'll have to stay on the bench for a while. That's what Jeff is like sometimes."

Qian Downey drew another cake. Li You showed a happy smile on the surface, but he was dismissive in his heart:

"Do you start passing the ball to the old guys and then stand outside the three-point line waiting for the ball?"

Seeing John Wallace's envious eyes on the side, Li You wanted to give a "picture". Currently, the starting lineup is all "big brothers" and they have very little possession of the ball.

After stretching activities and completing the warm-up in the morning, before the tactical class started in the afternoon, the team encountered some situations:

Charles Oakley has diarrhea.

The newbie Walter McCarty secretly showed a gloating smile. He had been screwed badly by the old guy, and he was happiest when he saw Oakley's misfortune.

Jeff Van Gundy sighed helplessly. This could be regarded as his lack of supervision. If it were Pat Riley, no one would dare to eat randomly:

"Buck, when you go into the starting lineup tonight, pay attention to protecting the rebounds."

After hearing the coach's words, Larry Johnson lost his smile again. Although he knew that he liked to play the fourth position the most, he always put him in the third position.

When Li You heard that 36-year-old veteran Buck Williams was starting, he couldn't help but complain:

"I'm really old and slow now!"

The Skydome Arena was all full that night, and there were also many Chinese in Toronto. Li You's arrival also helped the Raptors increase their attendance.

The official kickoff starts at 19:30. The Raptors have just changed their head coach this year. Darnell Walker has a difficult task this year. If the team's record is not ideal, he will have to be responsible for the failure.

After a period of yelling, both sides completed their appearance ceremony. The Raptors' home commentator, John Sanders, was a little disappointed when he saw the starting list:

"Looks like we'll have to wait a few minutes to see Marcus Camby make his debut!"

"We are still familiar with Damon Stoudamire and Doug Christie in the backcourt, while Poupoye Jones and Walter Williams are on the front line, and Zayn Tabak is the center."

Li You, who was warming up at this time, looked at the Raptors player on the opposite side and felt that the opponent was shorter than he thought.

Damon Starkdemeyer was a rookie drafted by the Raptors with the No. 7 pick last season, and he firmly established his starting position when he came to the team.

The information showed that he was 5 feet 10 inches tall, but Li You felt that the other person was not even 1.78 meters tall.

The Raptors put together a lineup with one large player and four small players. Except for starting center Tabak, who is 2.11 meters tall, the forwards are all a little over 2 meters tall.

The Knicks had a classic start. After successfully jumping the ball, Patrick Ewing ran to the frontcourt and quickly blocked the ball in the low post on the left.

The starting toady, Charlie Ward, dribbled across half court, came to the left wing beyond the three-point line and immediately sent a lob pass.

After Ewing received the ball, everyone spread out one after another. Larry Johnson stood near the right elbow of the free throw line, and veteran Buck Williams moved to the right near the baseline.

Alan Houston began to move towards the top of the arc, and Charlie Ward cut in without the ball and ran towards the right corner.

The big center attacked in the low post, and the others responded. Li You on the bench finally remembered where this strong sense of familiarity came from:

"This will be the Rockets' tactics in the future."

A simple and crude low post attack. Ewing put the ball with his right hand and pushed the opponent into the paint area with his back. Then he turned towards the baseline and reached the lower left side of the basket. He pushed away the opponent and easily completed the hook shot!

"Whoa!" Two points from the basket were made steadily.

The fans at the scene didn't care either, maybe because they had already lost last season and there was no reaction to Ewing's goal.

The Raptors' offense is relatively simple, with a pick-and-roll and Damon Stoudemire holding the ball with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

The Knicks' defense immediately shrank, and Williams, who was near the baseline on the left, got an open opportunity, caught the ball and made a jump shot, making an easy hit!

Li You, who was sitting on the bench, was completely relieved. This intensity was no different from the preseason.

The game was lethargic to watch, the Knicks had a slow pace, and the Raptors made many mistakes and made blind throws.

The most important thing is that Patrick Ewing's play style is not good-looking. He makes jump shots close to the paint area on the left side and jump shots from the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

There is no violent dunk, at most he squeezes into the paint and draws a foul.

Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines and shouted instructions. After seeing the opponent's mistake, the toady Charlie Ward slowed down and dropped to his position. He turned around and greeted Li You in anger:

"Li, prepare to go on the field and seize the opportunity of the opponent's mistakes!"

Li You, who was wandering around on the bench, was a little surprised when he heard Jeff Van Gundy's words. When he looked up, he saw that only 6 minutes and 25 seconds had passed since the game:

"Okay, coach, I'm ready!"

Li You took off his training clothes and moved his body.

Tonight he chose a pair of hooked AIR More Uptempo full-length air-cushion high-top sneakers, which are also a popular style recently.

Wearing blue and white striped sneakers, blue long arm guards, and the Knicks' somewhat baggy blue jersey, fans were already cheering before Li You even took the court.

Taking advantage of the opponent's center Tabak's free throw, Jeff Van Gundy immediately replaced Charlie Ward. As soon as the flatterer walked to the sideline, he was sprayed with anger.

Amid the commotion at the scene, Tabak made another free throw, and Ewing grabbed the rebound.

After Li You, who had just come up on the right wing outside the three-point line, received the ball, he immediately released the ball with his right hand and accelerated across the half court.

At this time, most of the players from both teams were still in the previous slow-paced game. Damon Stoudemire was very fast and immediately returned to the three-point line.

Just as he gained a foothold, Damon Stoudemire only saw Li You coming to the three-point line, lowering his center of gravity and dribbling the ball. He thought he would stop there, but he didn't expect that Li You would immediately push the ball and change its direction.

Caught off guard, Damon Stoudemire was passed by Li You in one step.

At this time, there was no one under the basket and he was close to the paint area. Li You immediately took off with both feet and swung the ball in the air. Then he grabbed the ball with his right hand and dunked with his arms!

"oh!!"

The powerful windmill dunk immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Many fans cheered loudly. After landing, Li You quickly returned to defense and smiled at the Raptors:

"If you are not active in fast breaks, there is something wrong with your brain!"
