Lehi jumped high and Davis made up for it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that this insider, who once made it to the All-Star, is now old and can't jump.

The brutal separation of people and violent deductions, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, 2+1.

Lehi hit a free throw, and the Knicks took a three-point lead as they did in the fourth quarter, with only a few seconds left.

After the Pacers set up their tactics to get back on the court, Reggie Miller received the pass again, but this time Crawford posted it in time.

Without a shot, Reggie Miller could only pass to Stephen Jackson, who was a few steps away from the three-point line.

There were no gaps in Lehi's defense, and Stephen Jackson forced a last-minute shot with no sticks.

In a crucial game, the Knicks won one game again.

On April 12, playing at home, the high-spirited Knicks suffered a defeat.

93:105 to the Toronto Raptors, Chris Bosh made a big kill on the inside, and no one could stop him.

The current Knicks are flawed, and they can still fight when they meet a team dominated by the outside, and they can only rely on their lives when they meet a team with ruthless roles on the inside.

With this loss, the Knicks fell to 10th place in the East.

It's not that their record during this period is too poor, but several rivals 76ers, the Cavaliers and the Nets, have exploded, and Shengsheng has raised the winning percentage of entering the top eight in the East by a notch.

The Knicks are now two wins away from the top eight in the East, and the form is very grim.

The media in New York also began to blame the team, and headlines like "Another Failed Season" appeared in the newspapers.

The Knicks players were also blamed for not working hard enough, Lehi was better, and the most scolded was Marbury, as well as the team's general manager, Isaiah Thomas.

The blame for Isiah Thomas is also the blame for Herb Williams, and the media believes that when Lenny Wilkens resigns, Isiah Thomas should find a better coach to replace him, when the season is only halfway through and the team should not have played so badly in the second half.

There was also a mid-season trade, which was also heavily scolded, scolding Isiah Thomas for getting his head in the water, making the weak interior line even weaker, such a mistake that even elementary school students would not make.

The attitude of the media has also affected the Knicks' players, with many of them preoccupied in practice, and some fringe players even thinking about what to do next season.

"Let's play a little game, I'll bet 100 bucks that the team will make the playoffs." Suddenly Lehi cried out.

Coach Herb Williams hurriedly said: "Then I will also press a hundred yuan." ”

A group of people who were originally listless saw that the coach was also involved and immediately surrounded them.

"I took this gamble, and the odds were 1:1 for bar consumption." Marbury clapped his chest and screamed.

On April 14, the Knicks went to the road to challenge the Cavaliers, who had the seventh record in the East.

Speaking to reporters before the game, James said: "I'm not going to think about the best team right now, I'm just thinking about playing the last few games to help the team get a better ranking and get into the playoffs." ”

"Lehi is good, this is his first season, and the Knicks still have a chance to make the playoffs, but they won't win from me, the Cavaliers will beat them."

In the face of reporters' questions, Li Hai also expressed the opinion that the attention is in the game.

"I'm not going to compare the numbers of my rookie season with James, I'm more concerned about the team's wins, and I came to Cleveland to win."

As Lehi gets stronger, so does his matchup with other powerful young forwards.

After the start of the game, Zajunas Ilgoskas won the jump ball with height, and the Cavaliers were on offense.

Lehi's defense against James is still half a step to prevent break-through interference with the shot, and there is a general physical confrontation without the ball.

James scored the ball with a back-to-back shot on the spot, and the Cavaliers' home court was thunderous.

The Knicks' first offense was completed by Tim Thomas, and the No. 4 position was pulled to shoot from the outside, which really made it difficult for the opposing player to guard against in the offense.

On the inside, the Cavaliers do have a certain advantage, and Ilgoskas squeezed to the basket twice and the Knicks had to choose to foul, but today Ilgoskas had some problems with his free throws, hitting only one of the four free throws.

James attempted a breakthrough on the second offense, and Lehi accurately judged the direction of the opponent's breakthrough, and James chose to pass after being stopped.

Lehi smiled deliberately: "If you shoot just now, you will definitely miss." ”

"Not necessarily, it's just that you've been involved in the Knicks too little, otherwise you could have tasted my real defense." James replied.

"I'm going to be involved in the offense, I'm shooting accurately, I'll show you right away."

After Lehi finished speaking, he ran frantically without the ball, and he expertly bypassed Kurt Thomas from the baseline, and turned around to make a shooting move.

James' defensive skills are also very solid, and he has been following Lehi closely, and seeing Lehi make a shooting move, James squeezed from Kurt Thomas and jumped high, and the whole person blocked Lehi's vision.

Lehi smiled slightly, leaned on James and jumped up.

James fouled, Lehi made two free throws, he walked to the free throw line and hit it with ease and made a textbook smile at James.

James also has some scheming in his heart, and he has remembered Lehi thoroughly since the Rookie Challenge.

Even if they fought before, they only regarded Lehi as Anthony's junior and their junior, but they didn't expect him and Anthony to be defeated in the Rookie Challenge.

Anthony is still very depressed, and James is also looking for an opportunity to get back on the court.

Just made a foul, James is more combative, and a little different from Anthony, James also feels that defeating the opponent requires both offense and defense, and he has been regarded by Lehi as an important opponent.

Lehi received the ball with his body, James got the ball and turned his body, put on a single posture facing Lehi, made two tentative steps and saw that Lehi's defense was not disturbed, James dribbled the ball and took a step back.

Taking a step back is immediately an acceleration forward, pulling away and using speed and body to force defenders, and only a body like James can be so simple and rough.

Seeing that he was about to be squeezed to James's side, Lehi also showed a good speed and stopped him again.

The direct physical confrontation almost knocked Lehi aside.

Lehi also used all his strength to block the front.

James made a shot with a hard brake, and Lehi stretched out his hands so that he was not deceived.

Or rather, he'd rather James shoot.
