On November 11, Lehi met Sun Yue in New York, and he came to play away with the Heat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of Wade's injury, the Heat have not started the season without a win.

However, because of the shortage of personnel, Sun Yue got a little playing time at the beginning of the season.

Now that the Heat has no Wade, the offense is not generally poor, O'Neal, who has dropped sharply, and Ricky Davis, who has declined, no one can support the offense.

So they started the game with a tight defense, but if the Knicks could be easily defended, they wouldn't be the defending champions.

They started from the inside first, Randolph was very good at offense, and then Lehi bullied Ricky Davis, the Heat were still resisting in the first quarter, only trailing by 5 points, and in the second quarter it was 15 points, and Lehi clocked out again in the third quarter.

At 101:75, the Knicks won again, and Lehi scored a double-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds in the third quarter.

Winning streaks at home, as the defending champions, is a real performance.

But then, they're going on a road trip to the West, and that's when they put their strength to the test.

On November 13, they came to Phoenix to play the Suns.

The Suns have also made a few changes this summer, signing veteran Grant Hill, who is in his second spring.

However, in the first few seasons of the game, their start can only be considered mediocre, and their fast play whirlwind has gradually been adapted by opponents, but the lack of improvement in defense has made them a huge hidden danger when they encounter strong teams.

The Suns' lineup is still very strong, and with Hill, Marion went to partner Stoudemire on the inside.

Hill in his prime, arguably the epitome of omnipotence, but now he can only be described as a qualified starter, and his injured knee can no longer keep up with Lehi's movements.

The Suns are characterized by being fast, and after the Knicks were replaced by Randolph and Camby this season, their speed has decreased, and they have become that kind of royal positional team, and there are pros and cons to such a change.

The two teams are blowing up each other, and the Suns are strong in offense and weak in defense, and it will become like this when they play against most teams.

At the beginning, the Knicks did not deliberately press the speed, they are also a team with strong offensive power, and now during the run-in of the lineup, it is also necessary to see the effect first.

Under Nash's threading needle, the Suns' two interior players who can run and jump performed well, scoring several times when the Knicks were still on a firm footing.

But the outside line played a little poorly under the Knicks' close watch, for the simple reason that the Knicks were also very fast on the outside, and Lehi even regarded Hill to death.

Even if not all the points bloomed, the Suns still led 34-32 in the first quarter.

The Knicks' main lineup did not lose, but after the Suns replaced Barbosa, the outside line finally made a difference, and the rotation period gained a certain advantage.

But it was only an individual outburst of the players, and by the second quarter, the Knicks began to control the tempo, and the Suns' scoring was not as smooth as that.

If you lower your speed and play the position, the Suns' interior line will not be so easy to score, and their low-post skills are not so solid.

Nash also began to try to attack, but perhaps because the pass was too easy in the first quarter, and the Knicks' defense was also pressing, Nash didn't feel very good, and both three-point attempts ended in iron.

So by the end of the first half, the Suns couldn't hold on to the lead and fell behind by one point.

In the second half, the Suns also made adjustments, and they were also looking for holes in the Knicks' defense.

Now the Knicks' defense is a little bit unstable, that is, Randolph, Randolph's defense is not as bad as the legend, but he prefers to fight under the basket and protect rebounds, and almost never follows out.

The Suns took advantage of this and allowed Marion to make several wins from the outside.

When Randolph was on the field, there was no point in changing defenses, so Lehi couldn't defend Marion like he did during the Channing-Frye era, but if they were killed by Marion, they would admit it.

The Knicks' strategy is to prevent other people from dying, especially the interior, and go out and shoot if they have the ability.

So Marion scored a double-double in the third quarter, but the Suns scored less, and the Knicks took the opportunity to extend the advantage to 5 points.

The Suns have a feeling of frustration that they have to hurry up or they won't have to play at all.

The Knicks may have become weak, but they can't produce a smaller lineup that is faster than the Suns like they did last season, and everything has pros and cons, and so are the Knicks' roster changes.

But the Suns still think too much, they definitely have a chance, but it is somewhat impossible to rely on speed to completely defeat the Knicks, and the Knicks are not those fish belly teams that have no resistance.

The Knicks have their own way of dealing with teams that play fast.

In the scoring competition, they will not be afraid of anyone, and even if it is faster, they don't need to be fast with all five people on the court, the main lineup of Lehi, Marbury and Francis, and the substitute lineup Crawford and Nate Robinson can still play high-speed counterattacks.

As far as the Suns' defense is concerned, it is as easy for Lehi and others to score as it is to probe for something.

"The Suns missed a three-point shot, the Knicks grabbed the rebound and threw it forward, and Nate Robinson had rushed to the front court of the opposing team, and there was no one to stop the opponent."

"Lehi's chase three points...... Hit, the Knicks' three-point shooting in this game was even better than the Suns, and they also had a lot of three-point masters on their team. ”

Seeing that in the last five minutes, the Suns not only did not overtake the score, but the gap was further widening, although there was no avalanche-like situation, it stands to reason that the Suns would not be afraid of scoring explosiveness, but they are now facing the Knicks, and the accumulation of a little advantage is enough to crush their confidence.

At 2 minutes and 58 seconds, Lehi hit a successful three-pointer, and the Knicks' lead also came to 12 points, and their defense was much tighter than at the beginning, and the Suns felt that there was no hope.

The key was that no one stepped up, and Nash hit two goals in the final minute, but the little time left made the value of those two goals greatly reduced.

When it came time to blow the whistle, the game was over, the Suns didn't even make it to the end, and this season, their confidence went into question.

115:108, Lehi's 34 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists were a quasi-three-pointer, leading the team to their first away win in the West, and it was also their first six straight wins.

This game also let the outside world see the difference between the Knicks, only the strength has not changed.
