The Knicks started the season with two straight wins, but head coach Larry Brown wasn't very happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The team was not satisfied with either offense or defense, and the victory in both games actually relied on Lehi's strength at a critical moment to turn the tide.

Larry Brown has some concerns about this winning pattern.

In order to improve, in the Knicks' home game against the Warriors on November 6, Larry Brown made a change to the main lineup, leaving rookie Channing Frye at the No. 4 position.

Antonio Davis was originally the type that Larry Brown liked, but as he got older, he couldn't do what Larry Brown asked for in defense, and he didn't help in offense.

Channing Frye was able to start and naturally played very aggressively, but compared to Troy Murphy, who has been rolling in the league for several seasons, Channing Frye is still a little more immature.

In front of Murphy, Channing Frye's flexibility and height advantage were gone, and Murphy hit two in a row, which also caused him a three-point foul, and Murphy hit three free throws steadily.

In the No. 1 position, Marbury did not take advantage of Byron Davis at all, and Jason Richardson was also very positive against Lehi.

On the offense of the inside line, Eddie Curry is majestic, this guy's offensive methods are really a set, and the general inside line can't prevent him at all, but his defense is several grades worse, and his physical strength is not good, he scored 8 points after playing for a while, and then two fouls went down again.

Lehi is also a little speechless, the opponent's interior line will not attack at all, and Eddie Curry can also foul.

Fortunately, the Knicks rookie got a few interior lines, and they were all okay, otherwise even if there was Eddie Curry this season, the interior would not be enough.

The first quarter of the game was a blow up between the two sides, and the Knicks were behind again, four points less than the Warriors.

In the second quarter, David Lee also got a chance to play, and all four rookies in the Knicks roster made their debuts in Game 3 of the season, which was news in the league.

In the rotation lineup, several rookies are full of energy, but Crawford seems to be a little uncomfortable with his new identity, and Quentin Richardson is the first game is a good point, and these two games are also a mess.

This is also the reason why the Knicks have an advantage in rebounds in several games and win very thrillingly, these players are all iron to a certain level, and only Marbury and Lehi are more stable.

If you look at it this way, how can you look like last season.

However, the number of players has indeed increased, which may be one of the reasons why many players play iron, and the more people who play the ball, the more opportunities the players will not have too much, and if the performance is not good, they will be replaced.

The situation will certainly not improve until the rotation is completely stable, and the manager is not sure what will work best at this time.

Lehi came on the court again and defended Richardson to the death, but Byron Davis hit three three-pointers to pull the score away again.

By halftime, the Knicks were seven points behind.

7 points is just a small meaning, but according to Larry Brown's style of play, the Knicks are a little uncomfortable, their players are different from the Pistons, and Larry Brown is obviously according to the Pistons team's requirements for them, resulting in the defense is not completely up, but the offensive power has declined, especially when chasing points.

At halftime, Lehi quietly pulled Marbury aside, "Stephen, I think playing the team according to the coach's requirements is already improving, but in the process, the two of us have to bring up the offense, and when the team is finalized, we will definitely become a strong team in the league." ”

"Don't I want to bring it, the old man is stubborn, wouldn't it be good to let me score directly, what is playing in a reasonable way, is it obviously difficult for a strong man." Marbury replied angrily.

He also had expectations for Larry Brown, and it turned out to be the same at that Olympics, where Larry Brown's emphasis on the role of point guard organization made Marbury a little unhappy.

He wants to play like Iverson, because Iverson started with him during the Olympics, Larry Brown just asked him to organize, let Iverson attack, that is no way, now the Knicks only have him, but Larry Brown still asks him to organize, he is so aggrieved.

"Finding a way to win, communicate slowly with the coach, I will also say, this year's new players are good, I think there is hope for this season."

"You're comfortable, boy, if you don't have one heart with me, I'll be done with you."

Marbury was huffing, but still promised Lehi that he would fight.

On the one hand, the relationship between the two became better in the summer, Marbury wanted to negotiate with Larry Brown, and indeed wanted Lehi's support, Lehi is the kind of player that Larry Brown likes, and it will definitely go better with his support.

Marbury's persistence is also because he is unwilling, he has ideas and ambitions in his heart.

At the beginning of the second half, Lehi and Marbury stepped up their individual offense.

When this kind of team integration, a simpler attacking model will achieve good results, provided that the players have good quality.

Of course, strengthening individual offense is not simply a strong attack, but using strong individual ability to get offensive opportunities.

This situation is a little different from the offensive routine in training, Larry Brown is not easy to remind during the game, and Lehi is constantly reminding his teammates to play the content of the training in defense, and Larry Brown is not easy to say anything for the time being.

The Knicks' defense has achieved good results, and they have a set for this kind of team without an interior line, and they can't defend against an alternative No. 4 position like Troy Murphy.

However, the Warriors were unable to defend Lehi and Marbury, and after the third quarter, the score gap between the two sides was only 2 points, and they were basically on the same starting line again.

When both sides enter the rotation lineup, the Knicks' defensive changes can be seen the most, Larry Brown's style is very similar to the NCAA set, and the rookie players are more adaptable, but the offense is completely unmanageable.

At the last moment, because of the speed of movement, the Knicks' interior line became Channing Frye and David Lee's two rookie partners, and Crawford was not replaced on the outside because of his sluggish form.

The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, with the score alternating upwards.

Byron Davis, who was not in good form up front, showed good mental quality and hit Marbury to score.

Lehi immediately responded on behalf of the Knicks, breaking through and shooting and creating a foul, 2+1.
