"Ray, can you play in your current condition? I want to hear the truth! D'Antoni looked at Cheng Lei and asked solemnly.

"It's no problem to play!"

Cheng Lei's face is not good, because he has been pulling his stomach for two days in a row, and he has recovered today, but his face is still a little yellow, and he has not completely changed, but this does not affect Cheng Lei's current athletic ability.

D'Antoni also has no way, now on the court, it is difficult to limit Anthony by relying on Ariza alone, the best candidate for pinching, Harden, is one who focuses on offense and doesn't care too much about defense.

Ariza can only rely on fouls to limit Anthony defensively, and if he continues to play like this, he will be too passive.

After thinking about it, now only by replacing Cheng Lei may have a miraculous effect.

Halfway through the second quarter, Coach D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced Cheng Lei with Ariza who had three fouls.

"Don't be careless, Anthony today, very strong!" Ariza said to Cheng Lei.

"I'll do my best to defend him, don't worry!"

On the Knicks' lounge, Porzingis and Anthony seemed to be chatting about something, very happy.

At the end of the timeout, when Cheng Lei stood on the field and faced Anthony, everyone was stunned, even Ariza couldn't prevent Anthony, and sent a rookie to defend him? Isn't it too much to look down on Anthony.

"Is there no one on your team? Send you a rookie to guard against me? Anthony asked Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei is not like Ariza, who has very few words, on the contrary, Cheng Lei is a trash-talk master, "Defend you, I'll be enough!" In a word, the choked Anthony didn't know how to answer.

"Rookie, I hope you don't disappoint me, Paul said he thinks very much of you!"

As he spoke, Anthony began to move, without too many fancy movements, and after dribbling the ball under the two crotches, he turned his back directly, relying on Cheng Lei, wanting to rely on his weight and strength to sit and beat Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei is not Ariza, although he doesn't look very strong, but in terms of core strength, Cheng Lei is much higher than Ariza's.

Bang... Bang...

The two are like two small trains, colliding from time to time.

It's impossible, why does this guy feel the same as Wade, he can't sit in at all.

At the moment when Anthony hesitated, Cheng Lei moved, and one hand quickly touched the ball in Anthony's hand.

It's a gambling defense, it's easy to get the ball, but it's also easy to get clean.

"Young man, it's still too rushed!" After a brief hesitation, Anthony soon spotted Cheng Lei pulling towards the ball.

Immediately made a wave of hands, took advantage of the situation to do a back dribble, Cheng Lei pounced, Anthony had already taken a big step and brushed Cheng Lei's body over.

Of course, Cheng Lei was unwilling to be let go by Anthony like this.

The direct backhand is a tao.

Luck was also a little biased in favor of Cheng Lei, but he still touched a little bit of the ball, so that Anthony could not make a coherent layup at the first time.

By the time Anthony grasped the ball steadily, and when he wanted to go to the basket, Cheng Lei had quickly appeared in front of him.

"It's kind of interesting, you're a lot more interesting than Ariza! But that's not enough to stop me! ”

In front of Cheng Lei, Anthony showed what is called good vision and threw the ball directly to the rebound.

The ball bounced and landed right in the hands of Porzingis on the other side.

Porzingis singled out Kapera, and after dribbling with his back, he made a big turn and a hook around the back, leaving Capela with a dry stare.

Cheng Lei's confrontation ability is very strong, which makes Anthony realize that there is no big benefit to be taken advantage of directly strengthening Cheng Lei.

So, I passed the ball out.

On the Rockets' side, after replacing Cheng Lei, the offensive firepower on the outside became extremely ferocious, Courtney Lee defended Cheng Lei, because Cheng Lei was a newcomer, and he didn't care very much, so the pace of defending Cheng Lei was not very active.

Cheng Lei and Harden made a no-ball cover, Cheng Lei ran back towards the three-point line, and Harden cut directly into it.

Paul's ball went straight to Cheng Lei.

Anyone who just underestimates Cheng Lei's three points will pay the price, just like despising Curry's three points.

Courtney Lee was one step too slow, Cheng Lei did not hesitate and threw the ball directly.

Just like Xiao Li's flying knife, the arrow was not missed, and the three points were firmly pierced into the net.

"Li, this guy has a bit of a way, don't be careless!" Anthony shouted.

He heard his friend talk about this Cheng Lei, the three-point ability is a must, just like Curry, Anthony didn't believe it at first, just now saw Cheng Lei's shot, Anthony realized that Paul didn't talk nonsense.

The Knicks' possession of the ball, this time, Anthony did not stand outside the three-point line and directly reach for the ball, but chose a run without the ball, and Porzingis mentioned the free throw line response.

O'Quinn saw Anthony slipping over and stood directly in his position to block Cheng Lei.

Sessions made a long plug directly, and after Anthony received the ball from the baseline, he turned around with an emergency stop, and arched his fart, directly arching Anderson, who came up to make up for the defense, to the basket.

It's another fart-strand arch, and after arching out a position, the hand that directly splits the buckle with one hand.

If Barkley had been here, he would have said that Anthony had gotten his true biography and put his big ass to good use.

"That, I didn't find that I wasn't so resistant!" After landing, Anthony didn't forget to complain about Anderson.

There's a big fart-stock that's amazing! Anderson said fiercely in his heart.

With Anthony's dunk, the cheers of the audience rang out again, and the Rockets fans were completely drowned in the blue wave.

Anthony hasn't played such a tough game for a long time, and for a while, fans are full of hope for this Knicks, as if they see the opportunity for the team to enter the playoffs.

"Paul, we'll give them one back!" Behind the defense, Harden said.

Anthony's dunk completely ignited the momentum of the Knicks, and it was very bad for his side to play like this, so it was time to fight back.

Paul certainly understood what Harden meant, and after dribbling past half court, he went straight to directing the team's runs.

Harden took the initiative to help Paul cover and let Paul smoothly kill the inside, Capela ran to the free throw line with understanding, pulled the man under the basket away, and helped Paul do the block by the way.

After Paul hit the basket directly, facing Porzingis who came to make up for the defense, he made a layup feint unhurriedly, and then ran the ball backward into the air behind him.

"Porzingis be careful!" Anthony hurriedly shouted.

But it was still a step too late, Paul's piece of cake fed Capela to his heart's content, and Porzingis was directly knocked out several steps by the huge impact force.

Bang dang!

The basket shook violently, and Capela twisted before it landed.

"Well done!" Paul and Capella clapped their palms excitedly.
