Chapter 219: Ticket King
Originally, the interior line was the weak point, and the team dared not to let the main center play, and it was able to win, and only the Knicks had the courage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Bucks are also in a bad situation right now, because their boss Reed is injured and the team's record is also sluggish.
But at the start of the game, they played well, and Morris Williams surprised the Knicks with his hot shots from the outside.
Larry Brown quickly called a timeout to remind the players that they had lost the previous few games, just because the opponent was not strong and relaxed their vigilance, and as a result, the opponent had players who broke out, and it was too late to regret it when the big explosion fell behind.
After the timeout, they stepped up their defense against Williams.
A player like Morris Williams is difficult to defend against when his hand feels, but as long as he keeps an eye on it, his hand will drop sometimes, after all, his body is not dominant, and he suffers a little in the confrontation.
However, the Australian champion Bogut performed well on the inside, but fortunately, Bogut's level could not kill the game, and the Knicks started from defense, and then broke the situation with strong points, and gradually took control of the situation.
When it was time to come off the bench, David Lee hit a couple of mid-range shots in a row, but his defense wasn't very reassuring, so he never started the game.
The Knicks only had a slight advantage in the first three quarters, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Crawford broke out again, pulling the score to double digits at once, and the Bucks insisted on it and collapsed in one fell swoop.
In the final moments, they were almost a one-man show for Maurice Williams, but his scoring only allowed them to lose decently.
At 115:97, the Knicks won again, and Lehi also scored a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds.
And Eddie Curry also realized that the team was still the top team in the league without him, and he was really anxious, and found the head coach early the next day to admit his mistake.
Larry Brown didn't really want to hide him, without Eddie Curry, the team's combat power was still declining, and he took the opportunity to finalize the opponent, saying that he wanted to see his performance in the next game.
On January 30, the Knicks returned to their home court to welcome the Lakers in the West.
The Lakers have not made major changes to their roster this season, adding several role players, but with Kobe's continued strength and the growth of young center Andrew Bynum, the record is also good.
It's just that Kobe Bryant was out of action due to injury and didn't come to New York.
Without Kobe's Lakers, it's almost the strength of a fish belly, and the team's second core, left-handed Magician Ramar Odom, has no ability to lead the team alone.
The Knicks are also very cautious this time, and their previous experience has taught them that opponents who are the stars of the house should not be taken lightly either.
Eddie Curry was also lifted and returned to the starting position.
After the game began, they found that the Lakers without Kobe Bryant were not only hindered in their offensive ability, but also had a broken tactical system.
Smush Parker took the ball as a single, put the triangle attack in the back of his mind, and although he could score, the overall efficiency was reduced.
In terms of defense, the Lakers can't stop the impact of the Knicks, their defense is very poor, and without Kobe's strong point, it's a mess.
In the first quarter, the Knicks led by 11 points, and in the second quarter, the Lakers strengthened their defense and Odom's advantage in the position, and the score gap finally did not widen.
But this is already the limit, in the third quarter, the Knicks backcourt trio combined to score 30 points, and the whole team scored 39 points, turning the score into garbage time.
At 119:89, the Knicks won another big win without suspense, and Lehi also got 34 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Eddie Curry didn't slack off this game, grabbing 10 rebounds, five of which were frontcourt boards and a block, so a lot of things can only be done with hard work.
The next day, they went to the away game back-to-back to play the Bobcats, and the last time they lost, this time all the members of the Knicks also saved up their spirits, even if it was back-to-back, it did not affect their fighting spirit.
They started by letting Eddie Curry wear down Okafor on the inside, pushing people to the outside as much as possible when defending and when not playing inside.
The Knicks' targeting arrangement made Okafor extremely uncomfortable, and he completely lost the courage to play.
On the outside, Lehi fought with Gerard Wallace.
Gerard Wallace played extremely ferociously when he came up, constantly hitting the basket, and let Lehi foul twice in the first quarter, which is also relatively rare, not to defend Lehi, he also fouled twice.
Gerard Wallace plays well and is at most swapped with Lehi, and it can't limit the entire Knicks.
Getting the Bobcats to focus on the Knicks on the perimeter was half the battle, and then Eddie Curry was also successful in using Okafor on the inside, allowing Okafor to be fouled three times before the end of the first half, in which case the Bobcats were no threat to the Knicks.
The reason why they failed last time was not because of the opponent's offense, but because of Okafor's help defense, and with Okafor pressed on the bench, the Knicks' offense would not have any restrictions.
The Knicks led by eight points in the first half, and by the time the rotation came to 15 points in the second half.
In the final quarter, Gerald Wallace also desperately tried to chase points, and even hit two three-pointers that he was not good at.
This kind of opponent who plays hard also makes Lehi extra serious, and he has four fouls on his back, but Gerard Wallace is even more difficult.
When Lehi caused Gerald Wallace's fifth foul, the Bobcats' morale was noticeably lower.
The Bobcats actually played well in the fourth quarter under the leadership of Gerald Wallace, more efficient than they had ever been before, but the Knicks still held on and kept the score lead.
At this time, there were only three minutes left in the game, and Lehi hit the free throw again.
In this game, Lehi and Gerald Wallace both scored 40 points and 8 rebounds, the difference is that Lehi had 4 more assists and 3 steals than their opponents.
Lehi's comprehensiveness is also impressive.
Scoring alone is something that the average star can't do, and he also juggles defending and blocking, and as he said at the beginning of the season, the injury didn't delay him, and he got stronger.
And at this time, the all-star voting ended, and Lehi was elected the vote king with 2532099 votes.
'I want to thank my team-mates and coaches, everything about the team, and the strong opponents who helped me get to where I am now, and also, all the fans who voted for me, you didn't make the wrong choice, and I will keep going and beat all the opponents in your sights.' (To be continued.) )
