Lehi's dunk was completed right on the head of the Jazz's No. 14 rookie this year, power forward Chris Humphries, and his excellent bounce caught everyone's eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this game, Lehi only played 5 minutes, 2 points and 3 rebounds.

Another Chinese player, Battle, only played 2 minutes at the end of the third quarter and did not score.

However, when the two sides made a large number of substitutions in the third quarter, the Knicks won by 14 points and won the first game of the preseason 89-83.

In the second game against the New Jersey Nets, Lehi got a chance to play at the beginning of the second quarter, and this time he played 14 minutes and scored 7 points and 5 rebounds.

Starting small forward Tim Thomas's offense was okay, but the defense was a mess, and Coach Wilkens liked Lehi's desperate defensive attitude.

The Knicks were swept by the Nets in the first round of the playoffs last season, and this preseason also smelled of revenge, but the Nets were not very serious, and let Jason Kidd rest after taking the lead in the first half, and in the end the Knicks won the game, but it was not happy enough.

In the third preseason game, the Knicks won the Mavericks again, and in the fourth game, Coach Wilkens stopped obsessing with winning and began to increase the playing time of marginal people, and the Knicks also lost to the Timberwolves.

In the fifth preseason game, which was also the Knicks' last preseason game, head coach Lenny Wilkens called Lehi to him, "Lee, you start this game, No. 3." ”

Happiness came too suddenly, except for the first game of soy sauce, the next three games Li Hai was on the field for more than ten minutes, belonging to the eighth person in the team, but I didn't expect to be able to start in the last preseason game.

And the other starters have not changed, only the No. 3 position has become him.

The Dallas Mavericks also changed their starters this time, the No. 1 position became this year's No. 5 show Devin Harris, and the No. 2 position was the second-year rookie Marquis Daniels, this guy was selected last year and only signed a one-year final salary, and this year he took a six-year contract of 38 million, which is considered a counterattack with strength, the No. 3 position is also a sophomore Josh Howard, the No. 4 position is the current star Dirk Nowitzki, and the No. 5 position is the center Eric Dampier who the Mavericks poached with a big contract.

The Knicks were the first to get the opportunity to attack, perhaps because they felt that Lehi was very good these days, and Marbury actually dribbled the first ball through the halfcourt and passed it to Lehi.

Lehi suddenly felt like he was back in college, Josh Howard was not leaking from the opponent's defense, he glanced at Crawford, who was reaching out to ask, and his body suddenly let it squeeze inside.

Josh Howard's defense was so good that Lehi didn't lose his position when he started suddenly, and his long arms completely blocked Lehi's path.

But he underestimated Lehi's strength and determination, and in the last game Lehi was a substitute player, and he did not directly confront Lehi.

Lehi squeezed directly to Josh Howard's side with strong force, and made a throw at the same time as the referee's whistle, 2+1 success.

Josh Howard's face changed suddenly, he was able to become the Mavericks' starting small forward when he was a rookie last year, relying on excellent mid-range shooting and better defense.

Now that his defense is being crushed by a rookie, he definitely can't count.

When it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, Josh Howard kept running, and after the ball was in Nowitzki's hands, he also understood the little brother's thoughts, and used the height advantage to pass the ball to Josh Howard, who was desperately slipping over from the baseline.

Josh Howard made a shot, but immediately put it down again, a feint.

This feint was forced, and Lehi followed him closely.

Josh Howard immediately turned around and prepared to hit Lehi with his back, he has good back-to-back shooting skills and has good strength, in the Mavericks, in addition to defending the opposing team's forward players, he often has to help Nowitzki defend the opponent's power forward, and the strength is not good.

But he leaned on Lehi and sat in it a few times, but he didn't move much, he didn't expect that this yellow-skinned boy would have such a strong strength.

Josh Howard bobbed twice and ended the offense with a turnaround jumper.

However, with Lehi's excellent defense, he deflected the ball a bit.

The defense was successful, Lehi immediately followed his teammates and quickly rushed to the opponent's court, he reached out for the ball, but unfortunately he is no longer the starting point of the tactics, he is just a rookie, Marbury chose to face the three-man defense and force a layup.

In the next game, Josh Howard obviously paid more attention to Lehi, showed his persistence in dealing with the top forward swingman, and guarded Lehi tightly.

In the battle with Josh Howard, Lehi clearly felt the difference between the NBA and the NCAA, and also felt the difference between the NBA's main players and bench players, and that sophomore was really strong.

This time he played 16 minutes in the first half, but only had six points and four rebounds.

And those 16 minutes, like playing 30 minutes in the NCAA, left him a little exhausted.

Is this the level of the world's top league, Lehi trembled with excitement.

As long as he does a little better, as long as he does a little better, he can definitely do better.

"Coach, please keep giving me a chance in the second half, I'm confident I can do better." Li Hai asked dignifiedly.

Coach Wilkens actually thinks it's okay, and he probably already has a plan about Lehi's level, so there is no need to play anymore, but seeing Lehi's determined gaze, Coach Wilkens feels that he can give him more time.

Is it old, Wilkens was a little self-deprecating, he was not a coach who changed his mind because of the player's request, but Lehi was the kind of team player, the type he liked.

"I'm sure I'll be able to score with your defense."

"No way, rookie, but I've already cut 12 points on your head."

After the halftime break, Josh Howard felt that he had overreacted in the first half, perhaps stimulated by a couple of big contracts on the team, a first-round pick who signed with the team for four years, and would have to wait a few years to get a big contract.

Just as he was slightly distracted, Lehi cut in and completed a beautiful air catch.

"Damn." Josh Howard was focused again.

"Come on." Li Hai smiled, "I won't let you score easily in the second half, I've already seen through your methods." ”

"Then try." Josh Howard reached for the ball again, and now that Nowitzki is down to rest, he can get more possession.

Just as the ball was passing, Lehi jerked out from behind him and slapped the ball out.
