Chapter 265: Winning streak in targeting

Against strong opponents, Lehi is always the most excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bryant is the same kind of person as him, and they both want to beat stronger opponents.

Both of them defended well, and naturally there were no easy shots when they were in the opposite position.

Kobe Bryant didn't continue to shoot outside, he was not afraid of any defense but it didn't mean that he would shoot randomly, and after coming to the small forward position, Kobe Bryant went directly to the low post with his back to get the ball.

turned around and leaned back, Kobe Bryant's eyes were firm, and he chased it back after the score was behind.

Lehi took a simpler way of attacking, a cover, pulled up and threw the ball into the basket, even if Kobe Bryant defended well, it was useless.

At 5:50, Bryant caused a foul on Lehi and hit a free throw to chase the score gap to only 6 points.

At 4:25, Lehi countered with a layup that caused Odom's foul, and it was Odom's fifth foul while stabilizing the lead.

Although the Lakers' interior line has been upgraded because of Bynum's growth, there is still a gap compared to the Knicks, and they can't stop their impact at all.

The current situation makes the Lakers feel bad, and Kobe Bryant is even more big, completely entering the rhythm of playing alone.

It's a sign of confidence and ability, but it's also easy to be exploited by the Knicks.

No matter how strong Kobe Bryant is, as long as there is no problem with the Knicks' offense, the result will be obvious, but now this Lakers team is really poor in defense.

At 3 minutes and 12 seconds, Li Hai passed Francis, and the backcourt sent Odom six fouls to leave the court, and the Lakers' crisis was even greater.

Bryant then hit two iron shots in the middle, and the Knicks took the opportunity to extend the score advantage to double digits and firmly grasped the opportunity to win.

In the end, Bryant scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, but the Lakers still lost.

The Knicks won 106-95, and Lehi scored 40 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the team to win the game while not losing to Kobe Bryant.

"They got this victory, but it wasn't the final result." Kobe Bryant was very unconvinced after losing the game, "We should play better and not be affected by their status as the defending champion." ”

"There's no doubt that the team needs reinforcements, and both the Knicks and the Celtics are doing a great job."

Unlike the Lakers, the Knicks have a perfect roster right now, they just need to run in and play everyone's strengths.

On December 26, the Knicks went to play the Magic on the road.

The two sides played fiercely in this game, Howard didn't score a lot, rebounding and helping defense were as sharp as ever, but it was the opponent's outside shooting that put pressure on the Knicks, and Turkoglu and Lewis still had their difficulties.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Li Hai hit consecutive shots to help the team win the opponent 106:100.

And with continuous high-score performances, Li Hai also sat on the scoring list first.

On December 30, the visiting Bulls put Ben Gordon back on the bench in order to deal with the Knicks.

Ben Gordon was the Bulls' No. 1 scorer, unlike when they won the Sixth Man of the Year award, and their tactics worked for a while, leading the way until the fourth quarter.

Ben Gordon hit a three-pointer in the final moments, and if it weren't for Lehi hitting a key shot to drag the game into overtime, the Knicks would have lost another game.

In overtime, Lehi took the lead and scored six points in a row to help the team win.

And it can also be seen from this game that in order to deal with the Knicks, the teams in the league have also thought of various methods, although other teams will not be as extreme as the Bulls, putting the core of the team on the bench, but the targeted means will only increase.

"Actually, this feeling of being targeted is quite refreshing." Lehi said during training.

"You don't have a perverted penchant." Francis joked.

Lehi said seriously: "This shows that we are taken very seriously, and it is a treatment that only the strong can enjoy, and what we have to do is that no matter how the opponent moves, we will take them one by one and defeat them." ”

"Isn't it cool to think like this?"

Everyone laughed, but looking back on Lehi's words, it would be like this, as athletes all have the idea of competitiveness, and now the position of the Knicks also makes them train very energetically.

Entering '08, their first opponent was the wounded Kings.

After the first wave of the opponent's offense, the Knicks were completely in control.

Even if there is no core player, the king can still play a good game, but this kind of good ball cannot be sustained, let alone the continuation of a few games, it is difficult to maintain stability in a game, except for the stars, this is probably the biggest difference between the weak team and the strong team.

Before you know it, the Knicks have won 11 in a row, but their next opponent is not good, and they are going to challenge the Spurs on the road.

Compared with last year's Finals, the Spurs lineup has not changed much, but the Knicks have changed their face.

In the same way, a strong opponent like Spurs is definitely a great opportunity to test the team, and it is a pity that Ginobili will not play in this game.

The Spurs did have a change in their lineup, they put Horry in the starting lineup and moved Duncan to the center.

At the start of the game, both sides scored inside, and Horry started the game in such a way that he couldn't limit Randolph and Randolph couldn't limit him.

After scoring points on the inside, the Knicks began to take the lead on the outside.

They held the lead until the rotation, when Horry hit two three-pointers and Matt Bonner came up and hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs overtook the score at once, and the Knicks didn't expect to take the opposing two core players to death, but their big shooters were powerful.

The Knicks also reacted quickly, they decisively expanded their defense, and they were not afraid of the opponent rushing in this season, so the usual tight defense at that time was rarely used, and the defensive effect was even better than then.

In the final minute of the first quarter, Crawford hit two consecutive shots to tie the score at 27-27 at the end of the game.

In the second quarter, the Spurs showed up again, hitting two three-pointers from the outside.

It can be said that outside the three-point line, it may be the only slightly weaker place for the Knicks' defense now, and this is still the result of the opponent's No. 4 position.

When it came time for the main players to play, the Knicks were firmly in the ascendancy.

Lehi was very experienced in playing Bowen and led the team to maintain a steady score, Parker and Duncan were not very consistent, and the Knicks led by five points at 54:49 at halftime.

It can be said that this is also expected, without Ginobili's Spurs, it is still a little difficult to fight against the current Knicks.
