Chapter 142: The Psychiatrist Duo
"Li, you are really a very good person as Yao said, and you will be my good brother in the future. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Because of this incident, Francis finally came out of the fire sale, and had the fighting spirit that he had not had for nearly two years, but Lehi had to face Marbury's disdainful eyes for a while.
Francis is a bit childish, and this season because the Magic team doesn't pay attention to him, he does it right, and he doesn't work so hard in training, so he does have some ability to decline now.
Now I plan to regain my strength, and I immediately made a new training plan.
Francis is only 28 years old, which is the year of play, and it will not be difficult for him to recover as long as he is trained rigorously and properly.
Marbury also began to organize the team's players to practice more, and after the number of young players increased, the number of players who had the idea to train hard also increased, and it was just the opportunity to bring Francis in to make the team more dynamic.
Lehi agrees with this, but Marbury sees another problem, "Lee, have you felt during this time that Jamal seems to have some problems with his mood and is not in a good state. ”
Lehi has been so focused on dealing with Francis these days that he hasn't paid attention to Crawford, but in retrospect, there's really something wrong with Crawford.
He, Marbury and Crawford have been practicing a lot since last season, and although the trio don't get along, they also communicate a lot, and Crawford hasn't spoken to them much during this time.
Now the game is also tighter, and the two discussed waiting until the away game to talk to Crawford.
The last opponent in a three-game tour is the Grizzlies, who have made roster changes this season and have achieved good results, and now their record is much better than last season.
The Grizzlies have a core of young interior Pau Gasol and a bunch of role players who can play, and after Eddie Jones, who was acquired in a trade with the Heat, became the starter, Mike Miller also played well as the team's sixth man.
Both teams started the game tentatively from the inside, but it was clear that Gasol came out on top.
The player Lehi is playing against Sean Battier, a team player who plays very smart and diligently, and has a good defense, but not the kind that fights muscles, but Christie's type of defense that is very defensive.
Dealing with this type of opponent, Lehi also has some experience, that is, the more simply the better.
So after receiving a pass from Francis, he made a direct three-point shot and hit the first shot for the Knicks.
The Grizzlies' bench players also have good firepower, in addition to Mike Miller, Bobby Jackson is also a qualified bench bandit, and the two teams also played a tight first half, with the Knicks only leading by 2 points at 49:47 at halftime.
In the second half, Lehi increased the aggressiveness of the attack.
In this game, his defensive task is not heavy, and he can focus more on attack.
Because of his physical strength, he doesn't really care about Battier's annoying defense, and he's a great defensive player himself, so playing against players who have quality on the defensive end will only make him happy.
After Lehi stepped up their offense, the Grizzlies struggled on the defensive end, and by the fourth quarter, the scores between the two sides had a tendency to pull apart.
In order to strengthen the attack, the Grizzlies let Battier go to the No. 4 position and play a small lineup.
Gasol's speed is not slow, and he can run with the team at the center position, but Eddie Curry can't do it, and the Knicks simply let Eddie Curry rest and play a pure small lineup.
Compared to the speed of the small lineup, the Grizzlies are definitely inferior to the Knicks.
Unable to beat the Knicks, the Grizzlies could only rely on Gasol's singles in the end, Gasol is a flexible interior player who can still score points when the Knicks shrink their defense.
It's just that the scoring efficiency of the Grizzlies is not as good as that of the Knicks, less than 3 minutes before the end of the game, the Knicks quickly counterattacked, Li Hai passed Francis, the latter played 2+1, the Knicks' lead came to double digits, and the suspense of the game was suddenly not big.
In the end, the Grizzlies tried consecutive three-pointers but only hit one, and the Knicks won the only three-game road winning streak at 101-93.
Back at home, Lehi and Marbury found Crawford after the team practiced.
"Nothing." After explaining the situation, Crawford just practiced with his head bored.
This look is definitely something, and the two have to practice shooting together first.
When it was not too early, Francis, who had finished his strength training in the equipment room, came over and shouted to invite his teammates who stayed to practice to go to the nightclub for a drink.
If it had been before, Lehi would definitely persuade Francis to carry out the recovery training plan and not go to the nightclub during this time, not to be in a special situation today, he and Marbury would have pulled Crawford over directly.
After pouring this guy two cups, Crawford, who had been a little silent all this time, finally opened the conversation.
It turned out that he also felt that he was not valued enough, and he slowly had a good attacking power, but he was pressed on the bench by the head coach.
He has been practicing with Marbury and Lehi, and as a result, both of them have become All-Star starters, which makes him envious and a little unwilling.
The fact that these Lehi and Marbury want Francis to play the starting No. 1 position also made Crawford a little puzzled, and the relationship between the three was also very good, why didn't Lehi and Marbury fight for him.
To be honest, Crawford worked hard enough, and the coach would have complained about what position he was asked to play, and if Lehi and Marbury had asked him to play the No. 1 position, he would have agreed, and maybe he would have tried to change his style of play.
But after the three of them had been training together for so long, Lehi and Marbury knew that it would be really difficult for Crawford to barely play the No. 1 position, and Crawford was the kind of person who would be awkward if he had to organize an offense, so he would not score points himself.
If he could play the No. 1 position, the Knicks' backcourt problem would have been solved long ago.
It really didn't matter to Francis, after all, at the beginning of the season, Larry Brown thought that Crawford's style of play was more suitable for being the team's sixth man, and he could score when he was on the ball.
Lehi thought so too, after all, Keliu was very famous in another time and space.
"Jamal, you're mistaken, the team definitely values you, we also think you're very good, others don't know, and I Stephen don't know, train together every day."
"You ask Stephen, before the All-Star came out with trade rumors, we all went to tell the Isaiah guy, Jamal must stay, he is the best sixth man in the league, and only with him can there be championship hopes." (To be continued.) )
