Chapter 63: Bad Things

The All-Star vote count was announced, and Lehi was not nominated by the team, but the enthusiastic fans still directly filled in his name and helped him vote for the fourth place in the Eastern Forward, which made him very moved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Regardless of the reason why the fans support him, he trains harder, plays better games and gives back to the fans.

Now the top three forwards in the East are Vince Carter, Grant Hill and Jermaine O'Neal, there is a gap between him and these votes, he can't be a starter, the coach will definitely not choose him as a rookie, he can only work the rookie game.

To his surprise, LeBron James is actually a guard, presumably also worried about the popularity of Vince Carter and Grant Hill, who is now in the top three Eastern defenders with Allen Iverson and Dwayne Wade.

The most suspenseful thing in the east and west is the center position, after O'Neal came to the East, he finally didn't have to compete with Yao Ming for the All-Star starter, and the two were far ahead of other center position players in the east and west.

Western Conference guards Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash round out the top three, while forward positions Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan are all popular.

Carmelo Anthony is more pitiful, even if this All-Star is held at his home stadium in Denver, he doesn't have a lot of tickets.

On January 4, the Knicks once again faced a troubled opponent at home, the Sacramento Kings.

Chris Webber, who is on the All-Star team for five consecutive years, and Brad Miller, an All-Star player, are enough trouble for the Knicks, and the outside attack includes Mike Bibby, who has been on the U.S. national team, Doug Christie, who has been on the defensive lineup for four consecutive years, and Peja Stojakovic, an All-Star player and two-time All-Star three-point champion.

The opponent Lehi will face this time is Doug Christie.

Christie is not the same defender that Lehi has met before, he is not close to hand-to-hand combat.

When Lehi starts to play against the opponent, he will always be a little uncomfortable, after all, the physical confrontation between the defense is the mainstream, and Christie is the kind of anticipatory defense, nicknamed "scalpel", and the means of breaking the ball are very powerful.

In one of Lehi's attacks, it was because the opponent judged the direction of the breakthrough, which led to a problem with the rhythm, although he protected the ball, his shooting was a little awkward.

But after a few rounds of adaptation, Lehi found his rhythm again.

Christie is no longer young after all, and Lehi plays to his strengths, using his physical advantages, and doesn't care whether the other party will predict his movements, and immediately feels much better.

But his side is not the main battlefield, and as expected, Chris Webb and Brad Miller have completely blown up the Knicks' interior line, and it feels like they can't play at all.

On Stojakovic's side, Tim Thomas, who is also a tall projection player, is not an opponent at all, he is not afraid of not knowing the goods, he is afraid of comparing goods, and the same type of players are put together, and Tim Thomas's poor state cannot be concealed.

In the first half, the Knicks were almost pressed by the Kings and lost by 13 points.

In the second half, the Knicks fought to catch up under the leadership of Marbury and Lehi, but even if the two had a good offense on the outside, there was no way to defend the opponent's offense at all.

As one of the league's most attacking teams, individual defense doesn't make much of a difference at all.

In the third quarter, the Knicks once closed the score, but ultimately lost the game 98-105.

According to Lehi, in addition to the problems of the current Knicks, there is something wrong with Marbury.

Although he did not admit that he was influenced by public opinion, but after losing to the Nets, his whole state was a little weird, and this game was also, too many forced singles, and the ball was in his hands for a longer time.

The next day the Knicks flew to Miami, and Lehi met Wang Zhizhi, another Chinese player who was playing in the NBA.

However, Wang Zhizhi's current state is a little bad, the conflict with the Basketball Association continues, and there is almost no playing time in the Heat.

The arrival of superstar "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal, the growth of Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem has undoubtedly promoted the Heat to a first-class team in the league.

With O'Neal here, the Knicks' interior line is a decoration, and although the shark is already going downhill, there is still no center in the league who can handle him.

03 generation of cattle, Lehi met Wade this time, originally the two were not in the same position, but Lehi now replaced Crawford in the No. 2 position, which happened to be an opponent with Wade.

Having competed with James and Anthony, and now competing with Wade, Lehi is very excited.

Compared with the other two, Wade's first step is the fastest, and Lehi and James, who have fast acceleration, will suffer very much in short distances, so it can be said that Lehai is very uncomfortable.

In this game, he followed Wade and suffered a lot, and the role of close defense was not particularly good for Wade, and for these extremely talented players, Li Hai could only slowly improve his defensive strategy through fighting.

When defending without the ball, he still increases his physical confrontation closely, but as soon as Wade gets the ball, Lehi will take half a step, like defending James, preventing breakouts and making shots, and then interfering.

If he had the ball in his hand, Lehi would have liked to have a good time with these top players of the younger generation, but now that Marbury is playing, Lehi has no chance to get the ball.

Besides, his side is not the main battlefield for the battle between the two sides, O'Neal does whatever he wants on the inside, and the Knicks have no way at all.

Their outside attack was not fluid, and although they never lost much, their momentum was suppressed from start to finish.

At 94:102, the Knicks lost one more game.

Lehi was also depressed and became angry with Marbury.

As a professional player, if you are slapped in the face, you just have to find a way to beat it back, what kind of anger is it.

During the training, Marbury still had a gloomy face, and after an offensive mistake, Lehi couldn't help but shout, "Stephen, you're still a high school student, bet on balloons." ”

"Li, what are you talking about, it's too early to be dissatisfied with me." Marbury immediately smashed the ball to the ground, and he was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent his emotions.

The teammates quickly stopped between the two, afraid that they would be impulsive.

Coach Lenny Wilkens also had a headache when something like this happened in training, because the team was obviously going in a good direction before, but he didn't expect injuries and conflicts between teammates to come up like smell.
