Chapter 84: A Narrow Encounter

Lehi, who runs up in the fast attack, is like a full-horsepower off-road vehicle, fast and strong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A simple change of direction left the Nets' defenders behind, and another violent dunk made the Knicks' home fans exclaim.

The two sides played fiercely in the third quarter, and Lehi hit two points in the final seconds to give the Knicks a one-point lead at 66-65 into the crucial fourth quarter.

The key to this game is clear to both sides, with Lehi, Marbury and Crawford on the Knicks' side, and Kidd and Carter on the Nets' side, all of which have barely rested.

Lehi's playing time, anyway, is the same as Carter's, the other party doesn't rest, and he doesn't rest.

In the fourth quarter, Carter went down for more than a minute and saw Knick Crawford hit another three-pointer, and immediately couldn't wait to return to the court.

Just came on the court, and it was also a three-point shot.

This is the first three-pointer Carter hit in the game, and All-Star level players are just different, the more critical the moment, the more accurate the shot, and Lehi also sweated.

What he has to do is to concentrate more on defense, and at the end of the game, the offense can change the game, and the defense can change the game.

In addition to Carter, the Nets also had a good hand today, and kept trying three-pointers for the first time and achieved good results.

Marbury, who came up with a three-minute break, didn't feel good, but Crawford felt it again.

Lehi received the ball at the top of the arc and passed it directly to Crawford, who was circling around the three-second zone, and Crawford grabbed the moment before the opposing player pounced and hit the shot.

He's very fast and can find a lot of shots with and without the ball, but the shooting percentage makes this ability a very sharp double-edged sword.

When the Nets attacked again, Carter slipped past the baseline to catch the ball, and Lehi followed in time, but Carter's turnaround jumper still went in.

Under Lehi's close guarding, it stands to reason that in the fourth quarter, there should be a lot of physical consumption, but Carter has a feeling of getting more and more excited, and the shooting rate is even higher than the first three quarters.

If he couldn't do better, his previous efforts would feel like they were in vain, and Lehi kept telling himself that he must do his best.

In the Knicks' offense, Marbury tried to shoot again, but it missed, and Lehi accurately judged where the ball landed, rushed over, grabbed the rebound, and forced the shot to cause Kostic's fifth foul.

The interior is undoubtedly the Nets' weak point, although Kidd is very good, but if a team averages the most rebounds per game is the team's No. 1 position, that feeling is really weird, and the league is unique.

The Nets were forced to switch to bench interior Brian Scalabryne, and the opponent's interior went wrong, not only with Lehi, but also with Marbury and Crawford.

Soon, the Nets' No. 2 spot was also replaced with five fouls.

Under the onslaught of the three, substitute inside line Scala Bryan is also in danger.

But even with the continuous kills, the score was still very scorching, and Kidd hit back-to-back shots and delivered assists, making the Nets' scoring look very simple.

"Stephen, you can at least stop Kidd from scoring." Lehi couldn't help but say.

If you can't win the Nets, it will be a big blow to the Knicks, and the argument can be turned into fighting spirit, but if you lose, it will make everyone even more estranged.

"Bastard, you take care of yourself, Carter suddenly became accurate, it's not that your physical strength can't keep up."

"Brothers, the Nets are going to be unable to hold on, hold on." Lehi suddenly clapped his palms, cheering himself on while fiercely racing his teammates.

In a crucial game, the defense was in trouble, and Lehi was a little worried.

The game was still going on, and he could only grit his teeth.

The Knicks once again created the opponent's defense, and the interior who came off the bench also fouled too much, and the Nets replaced it with another substitute, and the interior defense problem became more prominent.

Carter and Kidd also gave their best, and this game is just as important for the Nets, with players suffering injuries and the playoffs going away if they don't win key games.

Carter received a pass from Kidd right everywhere and flew up one step forward.

Before Lehi could react in his mind, his body had already jumped up to meet him, and the ball hit too much, and his body formed a memory, which was faster than his brain's reaction.

Carter's upper body strength was extremely good, and when he was about to knock Lehi out of the basket to abuse the basket, Lehi yelled and tried his best to knock the ball out.

The referee's whistle blew, the thug fouled, and Lehi fell to the ground.

The sound of heavy breathing represented the exertion of physical strength, Kurt Thomas reached for his hand, and Lehi stood up with his strength.

"Are you alright?" Marbury asked.

"It's fine." Lehi quickly adjusted his breathing.

This looks quite scary, in fact, Lehi consciously has a protective action of shrinking his body in the air, which is proud of his usual training, and his body is quite durable.

For the fourth foul, the coach reminded him.

Pay attention, no, Lehi shook his head desperately, now this strength is difficult to defend Carter, if you take care of it, you will definitely be blown up by Carter.

The other party is also desperate, because there are already three players who sit on the field for fouling, the opportunity is spelled out, and the fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger.

'We have to stop them from scoring and we have to win this game.' Lehi clenched his fists and was in high spirits.

With three minutes remaining, Crawford hit another three-pointer to tie the score for the fourth time in the fourth quarter, 84-84.

The Nets called a timeout first, and after the timeout came back, Carter hit Lehi with his back, and when he turned to squeeze inside, Carter suddenly chose to pass the ball and assist Jason Collins to complete the shot.

It seems that the Nets' timeout has been set up a bit, and Carter has shown a more difficult side to defend.

In the next attack of the Nets, Carter chose to attack individually and hit a two-point shot from the side.

The score changed again with a foul on Kidd by Marbury, who hit one of two free throws, and then the Knicks scored two points, and the two teams were no longer tied but turned into alternate leads.

Lehi's relentless defense finally came to fruition, Carter missed the shot, the Knicks took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, Lehi received a pass near the free throw line, and as long as he hit, he would help the team take a three-point lead and occupy an absolute advantage.

As soon as the ball was shot, Lehi felt that something was wrong, he fought too fiercely with Carter today, most of the previous offenses were also breakthroughs, and the feeling of shooting was a little rusty, and when there was a bang, the basketball bounced in front of Carter.
