The Hawks saw that there were continuous problems on the inside, so they quickly changed their strategy, not letting the inside line attack directly, but letting the two players on the outside control the rhythm of the attack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Marbury went hard, and after Tyronn Lue nimbly rushed past his defense, he immediately opted for a pull foul.

After the Hawks served from the sideline, Tyronn Lue passed the ball to Josh Childis, and Crawford, who was defending Childes, was also a hole and was given in one step.

Childis rushed in to dunk, but Lehi turned and jumped violently.

Lehi's jumping ability is not the top in the NBA, but it is fiercer than many people, such as Childis in front of him, he directly held down the basketball in the air with one hand, and even pressed the ball with people.

The Eagles could only regret seeing Lehi's super performance at this time, they obviously had some interest in Lehi during the draft, but they didn't expect that the rookie they gave up would become the strongest guy in this class.

The Knicks went on offense, and Lehi hit another mid-range shot.

At the most crucial moment, he dominated both ends of the defense, and the goddess of victory was already smiling at the Knicks.

Even if Tyronn Lue then made a foul with a shot from beyond the three-point line, he hit all three free throws.

The Knicks won 139-135 and the team won three in a row.

On the same day, the Cavaliers lost, and the Knicks, Cavaliers, and Nets all went 40-40 and finished eighth, ninth, and tenth in the East, respectively, and qualification for the playoffs is now even more uncertain.

On April 19, the Knicks challenged the Bulls, who are fourth in the East.

The Bulls have selected a good rookie this season, and their record has soared, compared to last season, it is like a change of team.

However, they have also suffered from injuries, with interior big man Eddie Curry and forward Lore Deng both suffering injuries and not being able to play even in the playoffs.

Without Eddie Curry, the Bulls' offensive arsenal is left with only the perimeter, with starting No. 1 Kirk Hinrich and bench Ben Gordon being the most troublesome.

In this case, the Knicks' lineup is slightly stronger.

However, at the beginning of the game, Kirk Hinrich showed the style of a big man who did not match his age, leading the Bulls' young men to score first.

Lehi aggressively asks for the ball, and the opponent in front of him is also a rookie this year, but not a player who came in through the draft, the fierce Argentine Andres Nocioni.

Nocioni made some small moves when defending, but the speed couldn't keep up with Lehi, who received the ball and went in with a change of direction and scored before the opponent's interior player could make up for it.

The Knicks want to make the playoffs, and the Bulls want to keep their home-court advantage in the playoffs.

Both teams saw the difficulty of scoring and entered the rotation early, with the Knicks' Tim Thomas being quickly replaced after consecutive irons, and the Bulls making two changes in a row, with Ben Gordon and Tyson Chandler.

Ben Gordon showed unusual attacking ability on the court, hitting a three-pointer.

But Marbury immediately returned the favor and hit a three-pointer.

It's just that Marbury's approach to attack and defense is too direct, and if he directly shows a forced shot when he attacks, he can shoot easily on defense.

It's nothing when the offense feels direct, but it's easy to give the opponent a chance when the defense is easy to shoot.

So Marbury's defense has been unstable, and when he meets Kirk Hinrich like he is a rookie, he obviously crushes the opponent physically but can't form a limit.

Kirk Hinrich hit back-to-back shots when his teammates couldn't score.

Fortunately, on the Knicks' side, Lehi and Crawford also completed a few good offenses.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led by two points at 19:17.

While Lehi was resting, the Bulls' backup guard Janeiro Pugo played well, hitting two three-pointers in a row to give the Bulls the lead.

Seeing that the outside defense is full of holes, Lehi feels that the current lineup of the Knicks is a little unreasonable, the interior line is missing, the outside defense is not good, and there is no substitute who can be on top, if he goes to defend other positions, there is no one who can defend the opponent's small forward.

The Knicks' defense really deserves a big change.

However, as the team's most populous power forward position right now, he can get some points when the rotation players come on.

After Lehi returned to the court, he almost blocked Nocioni and scored five points in a row to help the team take the lead again.

Lehi has an advantage in this position, and he can also connect the Knicks' outside line with the inside line.

By halftime, their lead had extended to seven points.

At halftime, it was relatively relaxed, and the Bulls, who were short of major generals, had a single characteristic, and the Knicks players felt that they had a better chance of winning.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Kirk Hinrich hit consecutive three-pointers and caused a foul on Marbury.

Lehi completely blocked Nocioni, but it didn't make a difference, and when Ben Gordon came on the court, the Bulls' attack was stronger, and he quickly communicated with his teammates to switch to Ben Gordon.

It's not the first time to defend Ben Gordon Lehi, and Ben Gordon's offense has also been in trouble with his experienced interference, but Hinrich is still unstoppable and has an accurate shot.

Lehi had no choice but to limit Ben Gordon, who had better physical fitness.

Led by Hinrich's 15-point mark in the first quarter, the Bulls outscored the Knicks by one point at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Hinrich's shooting percentage was even higher, and he basically had to shoot.

Marbury was fouled and replaced, Crawford became the team's No. 1 spot, and the Bulls played a small lineup at this time to speed up, putting Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Chris Dujon on the court at the same time.

In this way, Lehi's physical advantage is even more obvious, he comes to the low post, and he catches the ball as hard as an interior player to eat the Bulls' defenders, and cuts points in a row.

Defensively, Ben Gordon also defended himself from hitting consecutive irons, allowing the Knicks to surpass the opponent.

But on the Bulls' side, Hinrich hit another back-to-back three-pointer to turn the score over.

With two minutes left in the game, Lehi assisted Crawford for two points, and the Knicks led by one point at 87-86.

The Bulls opted for a timeout, and Lehi couldn't help but say as the coach encouraged them, "It's better for me to defend Hinrich." ”

At this time, Hinrich had already made five shots in the fourth quarter, including three three-pointers, and scored 13 points.

Coach Williams hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
