Lehi hit a rebound in the final moments, but the Knicks still lost by 1 point. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This back-to-back game made Lehi understand his shortcomings, in addition to adapting to the rhythm of the NBA and distributing his physical strength reasonably, his strength also needs to be strengthened.

Before, he always thought that his strength was one of the best in the same position, he had no such experience in his previous life, and he did not meet opponents in this area in high school and college, but he met Margeti and Artest in a row, and the physical confrontation consumed a lot of physical strength, which made him understand that his strength was still lacking.

There are too many ruthless characters in the NBA, and he is far from enough.

With this lesson in mind, Lehi's training plan appropriately increased the proportion of strength training.

Kurt Thomas is good at this, Lehi took the initiative to ask the other party for advice, Kurt Thomas is diligent in training, good people, and is a teammate who is easier to communicate with the Knicks.

Marbury saw Lehi spending more time on the equipment, and sighed when they trained together: "Isn't it particularly unwilling, the NBA is like this, many times I try my best, it's just a little bit of it, it's just that little bit, it's very unpleasant, it's very difficult......"

Marbury is in his ninth season in the NBA, and he has never doubted his strength, but many things just feel that no matter how hard he tries, he is the one who is full of emotion.

On November 16, the Knicks host the Spurs, a powerhouse in the West.

Now the Spurs' "Demon Knife" Manu Ginobili is not playing the sixth man, and he has formed a GDP combination as a starting point guard and "French sports car" Tony Parker and "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan.

The small forward is Bruce Bowen, who defends for a while, and players such as Brent Barry and Robert Horry on the bench can also make real contributions, which is a huge test for the Knicks.

At the beginning of this game, Jamal Crawford, who has recovered physically, showed good form, and Tim Thomas, who has trained hard because of Lehi during this time, has also taken a boost, and although Bruce Bowen is on the defensive for a while, Tim Thomas, who has a high advantage, is not too afraid of this type.

It is precisely because of the play of the two that even if Marbury has a bad hand, the two sides are fighting fiercely.

Tim Thomas was doing well, and Lehi couldn't have played that early.

But with more than seven minutes to go, Parker rushed inside to make a second foul on Muhammad, and Lehi made a rare substitution for Muhammad.

In this case, Tim Thomas is at the team's power forward position, and it also means that the Knicks need to speed up.

Of course, defending Duncan can only come with Kurt Thomas.

Facing the players who defended for a while in a row, Lehi was also very excited.

To hone your offensive skills, you have to compete with such top defenders.

Bruce Bowen and Ron Artest are not the same type, he moves more laterally and Artest is more powerful, but both are good at tough close jamming.

Lehi received the ball and faced Bowen's defense for the first time, which was directly a big stride, and he squeezed the opponent hard to complete the mid-range shot.

He felt that the strength training in the past few days was still rewarding, and it was simple and practical just now.

Bowen saw that Lehi's opponent was not an ordinary rookie, and there were more small moves.

Many players who are good at defense have a vicious face and feel like they can hurt people at any time, Bowen is even more powerful, and some of his actions will always give the opponent a hint, hinting that he will be ruthless, and if he is afraid, he will fall into his trap.

Lehi also knows something about this kind of well-known "evil guy", and he is not afraid of his exaggerated defensive actions, and his body is always in a tense state, so he is not afraid of the opponent's black hand.

But the second time he faced Bowen's defense, Lehi's offense failed.

On paper, he finally felt shallow, and he only knew what it was like when he really faced a defensive expert, which was completely different from watching the game video.

After pestering a few times, Lehi found that Bowen was good at changing the pace of defense, he always made the offensive players feel bad, and Lehi benefited a lot from the opponent's competition.

After entering the NBA, facing all kinds of outstanding opponents, Lehi felt that he was growing rapidly, and every game was rewarding, and every game allowed him to see the direction of improvement.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a starter, and soon the Spurs went into the rotation and his opponent became Brent Barry.

Brent Barry, who joined the Spurs, played off the bench, and the "white man can fly" back then was a little older, almost a pure pitcher.

In the face of this kind of pitcher player, Lehi is about to show his defensive strength, and he can't let the opponent have time to shoot in the open space, and he can't let the opponent have a comfortable time to shoot.

In the attack, he also has more opportunities, even when it is Crawford's turn to control the ball, he will receive passes when there are good opportunities, and through the previous games, Lehi slowly won the trust of his teammates.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks had a two-point lead.

The second quarter was still a difficult game, and Lehi was still tied when he left the game.

But soon, the situation on the court changed, first Parker broke through and caused a foul on Marbury, which was already Marbury's third foul as the No. 1 position.

Marbury was also quick, but he was a little bit short in front of Parker, resulting in a loss in this game.

After Marbury was substituted for a foul, Tim Thomas, who had been playing well in front, hit the iron several times, and in response, Spurs center Rasso Nesterovic scored six straight points after Duncan drew the attention of the Knicks' defense, and the Spurs instantly extended their lead to 10 points.

At halftime, Crawford hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to put the Knicks six points behind.

Looking at the situation, it is not very bad, after all, it is at home, as long as you work hard in the second half, it should not be difficult to chase it back, but at the beginning of the second half, Duncan completed the three-point play, and with Bowen hitting the bottom corner three-pointer, the score suddenly came to double digits.

The difference between a strong team and an average team is that a strong team can always seize the opportunity when the opponent has some small problems to expand the advantage in one fell swoop, and when Lehi is substituted, the score gap has come to 15 points.

After Li Hai came up, he seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, but the Spurs' Duncan began to exert his power, and the Knicks' interior line couldn't handle O'Neal Jr., and naturally couldn't get Duncan.

Even Duncan's free throws, which he is not good at, felt good today.

Compared to the Pacers, the Spurs were more stable, and with half of the fourth quarter remaining, Wilkens saw that the situation did not turn around and replaced him with a full bench.
