Gasol is actually not an interior player who can solve everything on the inside, so when the Grizzlies have problems on the outside, Gasol's efficiency on the inside is reduced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the Grizzlies' interior strength decreased, they immediately couldn't bite the score.

Their system also couldn't prevent the Knicks' outside offense, and the Knicks took an easy 25-19 lead in the first quarter.

Although the Grizzlies' bench lineup is not bad, it is too young to play against a strong team like the Knicks.

By the time the Knicks' main team returned to the court, the margin between the two sides was in double digits.

After Gasol came on the field, he showed all his strength to stabilize the score.

But by the end of the half, the score was still larger than the first quarter, 55:46, which was already the result of Gasol's fourth-quarter play in advance.

Eddie Curry's efficiency in the first half was okay, and Lehi was also glad that the small internal contradictions did not affect the state of the court, but Eddie Curry did not practice with them as before, and what to do depends on later.

The Grizzlies want to make changes, too, but it's not easy for their current roster to find ways to be efficient.

In the second half, they wanted to speed up, use Gasol's mobility, and let the Knicks' interior Eddie Curry play a role.

It's just that the Knicks are stronger on the outside, and Eddie Curry can play a few minutes less if he is affected, and he can also improve his efficiency, and the inability to defend Lehi and others is their biggest problem.

At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies fell behind by 14 points, and seeing that they were no match for the Knicks, the Grizzlies' fighting spirit was reduced by half, and the players on the court were not so hard.

Both sides gave their bench players more playing time, but the difference is that the Knicks have several players on the bench who are actually at the same level as other teams.

The Grizzlies didn't make any waves in the final quarter, and the Knicks outscored their opponents 114-88.

Lehi scored 30+ in the game again, and the outbreak during this period of time made Lehi rarely come to the top of the scoring list, second only to Kobe Bryant and Iverson in third place.

And Marbury, Francis, Eddie Curry and Crawford are at 31, 42, 45 and 66 respectively, and one team has five points in the top 100 in the league, such a feat that only two teams in the entire league, the Knicks and the Suns, have achieved.

The Knicks' ranking is slightly better, but it is because Lehi has not played some games in front of him, and the data is somewhat overlapping, but this also shows the strength of the Knicks.

On December 6, they met another opponent who had come to New York under the banner of revenge.

The Wizards' roster has not changed much this season, the only change may be the signing of outside defensive stalwart DeSean Stevenson, but their style of play is not very defensive, and DeSean Stevenson will not change much.

Revenge is of course a media gimmick, but Arenas really wants to lead the team to take out the defending champions, and he is a player with a big heart.

Sometimes I have to serve Arenas, he is the kind of ruthless character who can score on defense, which is why it is difficult for players with strong shooting ability to limit death, in basketball games, it may be difficult to get a chance to shoot when the interior defense is tight, but on the outside, especially outside the three-point line, no matter how strict the defense is, you can also find a shot.

Even if you start to get close to you two or three steps from the three-point line, it is a cover thing to get an opportunity.

This was the case when Lehi went crazy against the U.S. team at the World Championships, and then a player named Stephen Curry took this style of play to the extreme, and the league is now Arenas.

However, this style of play is also flawed, if the hand is unstable, it is fatal, if it breaks out, it can win any team, and if it goes wrong, it can lose any team, Lehi's physical fitness allows him to use more offensive means, so he will only play like this when he feels very good, he pursues a more stable victory, and Arenas prefers that crazy attack.

Now the lineup of the Wizards, opposite Lehi is Butler, and Lehi's goal is also to limit one of the Wizards' three musketeers, it doesn't matter whether it's Butler or Jamison.

At the beginning of the game, it was Lehi who hit the first three-pointer, Francis dribbled and passed to him after half time, and Butler had Lehi would break through, and Lehi hit it directly.

It was the Wizards' turn to attack, and Arenas flew away from Francis and hit a pullup jumper.

Then Arenas and Jamison began to attack wildly, both hitting three-pointers, only Butler was targeted by Lehi, and some couldn't keep up with the team's offensive rhythm.

Butler's defense was the best of the three, and Lehi didn't force the offense for the time being, but took on the role of attracting the attention of the defense.

The rest of the Knicks felt good offensively as well, with Francis, Marbury and David Lee all hitting back-to-back shots.

In addition to Arenas, Jamison is not easy to defend from the outside, and Lehi should be able to contain it, but it is not good to leave Butler behind, and the result is that the two sides enter an offensive battle.

The Knicks scored 31 points in the first quarter, but the Wizards managed to score 35.

Sometimes the opposing team doesn't defend well, and it's easy for the team to play to the opponent's rhythm, and it was only at the end of the first quarter that Larry Brown pointed out that the team's rhythm was wrong.

In the second quarter, the Wizards were still attacking fiercely, Jamison, as the team's No. 4 position, was outside the three-point line all the time, and the Knicks were a little helpless, if they didn't feel good, the Knicks could beat the opponent in the half, but Arenas and Jamison felt good.

Arenas hit four three-pointers in the first half, while Jamison hit three.

In the second quarter, Lehi limited Butler to a point without scoring a point, but the Wizards relied on Arenas and Jamison to shoot from the outside and keep the game ahead.

At halftime, the Knicks trailed by eight points at 56-64.

The team is often afraid of encountering unreasonable, not the reason for the difference in strength at all, but their feeling is too good, and many times the end of the winning streak is because of reasons other than strength, and the current momentum of the Wizards is a bit like killing the Knicks.

At halftime, the Knicks players were also a little upset, and Lehi stood up and said, "We do what we have to do and try our best to win, but we don't want to care about the winning streak." ”

"The winning streak is only part of the regular season, we have higher goals and we don't need to rush in the second half."

Lehi really doesn't care much about the winning streak, after winning the championship, the regular season is just the regular season, and you have to treat it with a normal mentality. (To be continued.) )
