The Raptors have become an international column this season, except for trading TJ Ford, the rest of the operation is all related to Europe, selecting Italian champion Andrea Baniani, signing Spain's Calderón and national team teammate Gabajosa in the team, signing Slovenian interior Rasu Nesterovic, and signing Anthony Parker, who has played well in the European League, back to the NBA.

So this season, the Raptors' style of play is very European, but it makes them have a good record.

They let Spanish power forward Gabajosa play the No. 3 position, continuing the three-high style of play.

The Raptors are good at letting big men go out to play, and Chris Bosh is typical, but now they have Gabajosa and Banjani.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors' offense was fierce, and David Lee couldn't defend Bosh at all.

Bosh also had a good hand, even tried to shoot a three-point shot, and let David - two fouls return to the bench early.

However, the Raptors' big men may be able to suppress some teams, but this certainly does not include the Knicks, although the Knicks are not good at defending against Bosh who can shoot on the outside, but Lehi, Marbury and Francis basically made the Raptors into a stopper.

And on the inside, the Raptors couldn't guard against Eddie Curry, so the Raptors still fell behind when Bosh Fawei scored 14 points in a single quarter.

Among them, Lehi must have played a key role, after all, the Raptors let Gabajosa play the No. 3 position, and it is impossible to keep up with Lehi.

Like Bosh, he scored 14 points to help his team still lead in the first quarter at 31-29.

The Raptors' bench lineup is also good, with Baniani, Calderon, and Maurice Peterson, who was still a main player last season, and Chris Humphries, who has good rebounding ability.

This is also the first team since the Knicks' winning streak did not let them take advantage of the bench competition, but when they returned to the starting lineup competition, the Raptors were a little unbearable.

The reason why the first quarter was so difficult to solve was mainly because of Bosh's outburst, and after the Knicks strengthened their marking of Bosh's outside attack, Bosh could only honestly strive for opportunities on the inside.

In the interior matchup, although Bosh still has an advantage, the scoring efficiency has decreased a lot, which is not enough to make the Knicks feel threatened.

And Lehi faced Gabajosa, but he continued to cut points.

Even if Morris Peterson is replaced and Gabajosa goes inside, the result is still the same, a player like Lehi, there are only a handful of players who can limit him one-on-one, and relying on group defense to limit him, the Raptors are not that material, they have never been a team that values defense.

The Knicks scored 35 points in the second quarter and led 66-58 at halftime.

The game turned into an offensive battle, and when the two sides returned to the lounge, they noticed that something was wrong, and it would feel like the outcome was out of control.

It was necessary to strengthen the defense, and both teams made almost the same decision.

At the beginning of the second half, the atmosphere of the game was noticeably different from the first, and the aggressive defense allowed both sides to start to drop their shooting percentages.

More than four minutes ahead, the Knicks scored 4 points and the Raptors scored 5 points.

At this time, someone needs to step up, and whichever team breaks the deadlock first has a great chance of taking the initiative.

At times like this, there's nothing to say, and the Knicks will let Lehi hold the ball first.

Although they have a lot of capable players, Lehi is the most consistent and physically advantageous, and the lethality of the playoffs has proven everything.

Lehi attacked with the ball, David Lee came up to cover, and at the moment when the defense changed defenses, Lehi took two steps forward and directly pulled up and hit.

Bosh is not suitable as a deadlock breaker due to his position, and there is a natural advantage for the backcourt players at this time, and both TJ Ford and Anthony Parker have proved to be inferior after attempting.

The Raptors, who had no way to break the defense, could only add three-point shots, and they had a lot of players on the team who could shoot three-pointers, and the European-style players were especially comfortable with this tactic, and finally did not let them collapse in the third quarter.

It's just barely because by the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 13-point lead at 90:77.

In the second half, the Knicks' bench lineup did not feel very good, and the Raptors chased the score to single digits thanks to Calderon and Bargnani.

With about eight minutes left in the game, both sides returned to the pitch.

The Raptors were so impressed with Lehi that they would rather someone else have a vacant seat than let Lehi make a move.

But before the Knicks could shoot from the outside, the Raptors had problems.

Eddie Curry exploded with offensive prowess and drew three consecutive fouls on Rasso Nesterovic to knock the Raptors' center off the court.

After replacing Bagnani, the Raptors maintained their height on the court, but no one could hold Eddie Curry.

So they tragically found that they had made all kinds of preparations to deal with the outside line of the Knicks, but before Lehi and the others had made a move, they couldn't do it directly.

Bosh tried singles continuously, but the interior was full of people, and his singles success rate was limited.

However, TJ Ford hit a three-pointer and then caused Francis to foul to help the Raptors stop the bleeding.

It's just that time is running out and the Raptors need an outburst on the offensive end to chase the score back.

The Knicks will certainly not give them this opportunity, continue to strengthen the defense, and firmly get the victory.

At 110:96, Lehi scored a double-double of 36 points and 16 rebounds to lead the team to a 12-game winning streak.

However, with the team in good form, the Knicks have another problem.

On the third day after the victory over the Raptors, Lehi came out of the power room and saw Marbury and Eddie Curry arguing, and if it wasn't for his teammates next to him to stop him, Marbury would have started to hit people.

Lehi hurriedly rushed over, because of the different cultures, Lehi and most of the teammates on the team have no personal relationship, Eddie Curry's problem he basically dumped to Marbury to deal with, and it also has something to do with his summer injury, and at the beginning of the new season, the work of urging Eddie Curry naturally fell to Marbury.

Although Eddie Curry is a little disobedient, he is basically a big kid character, and Marbury has seen him lecture a few times, but this time it is obvious that both of them are really hot.

"Stephen, dissipate, is there a problem with training?"

Lehi first left Marbury, Eddie Curry is such a big guy after all, if there is a real conflict, don't make a big problem, but things are different from what he thought. (To be continued.) )
