Chapter 67: Don't Get Used to Failure

The Bucks also have seasoned veterans like Keith Van Horn and Tony Cooke, but they have already passed the baton to young Michael Reed and Desmond Mason. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Bucks are rare to have half a pound and half of the Knicks' interior strength, the old champion Joe Smith and Georgian player Zaza Pachulia are not ruthless characters, but they are relatively strong on the outside, and Morris Williams on the No. 1 position is also a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense.

Desmond Mason and Lehi looked similar physically, and the Bucks were going to hit Lehi in the back for the first offense.

The 2001 dunk king has good power and jumping, but his attack skills are more concise than James's, but unfortunately his physical fitness is still worse than James'.

He directly hit it twice, and felt that Lehi's strength was also very strong, and immediately turned around and jumped.

Lehi's long arm directly blocked most of the opponent's shooting space, allowing Mason's shot to be completely deflected.

Immediately, Marbury quickly rushed forward, and when he reached the frontcourt, Lehi had already directly passed the opposing defender, received Marbury's pass, and completed the layup.

From defensive success to fast breaking, the entire basketball court can clearly see Lehi's speed advantage.

The Bucks attacked, Michael Reed missed a two-point from long range, but their blue-collar center Dan Gazuric grabbed the rebound, and Muhammad fouled and the opponent made both free throws.

originally thought that the interior level of the two teams was about the same, but it was no longer a physical and technical problem on the Knicks' side, and then a small role like Gazuric grabbed rebounds in the front court in a row, and Muhammad was replaced with two fouls in less than five minutes.

There is no fighting spirit, because many people in the team give Lehi the feeling.

In the first quarter, the Bucks blossomed more, and they only had Lehi and Marbury in shape.

At 23:26, facing the not very strong Bucks, the Knicks have been at a disadvantage.

In the second quarter, the Bucks' rotation players Keith Van Horn and Zaza Pachulia both played well, and both grabbed the rebounds in the frontcourt.

"Coach, let me play, I can help protect the rebounds." Lehi couldn't help but ask acting head coach Herb Williams.

Herb Williams has always admired Lehi, he is now acting head coach, and he doesn't want the team to be so lifeless, and a young man with a strong winning spirit like Lehi is definitely what he needs.

"Hey, guys, get some spirits, the home fans are watching." Li Hai clapped his hands vigorously on the field.

Mobilize your teammates, speak up, and do well.

Even if someone doesn't like him because of this, he has to put his attitude out, and if he doesn't want to win, what is he doing playing competitive basketball.

He didn't choose to shoot when he received the pass, but went straight to the basket.

As he rushed to the free throw line, Lehi suddenly crossed in front of Mason, jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket, "Guys, see no, it's not like a man." ”

Lehi's words were perceived by Mason as a provocation to him, and he also liked to rush in and dunk during the game, and Lehi's actions immediately aroused his hostility.

"Boy, who do you say doesn't look like a man, do you want to show you my big bird."

Mason angrily asked his teammates for the ball, accelerated and rushed towards Lehi, and when he got to the front, he also made a cross-step, trying to break through Lehi and rush in and dunk.

But the same move is very different for different players, Mason's cross-step can still work against opponents who are poor in defense and weak body, and there is still a lack of fluency in front of Lehi.

Mason found that the acceleration change of direction did not shake off Lehi at all, and gritted his teeth and forced a shot against Lehi.

No matter what moves the opponent uses, Lehi just doesn't lose his position, and at the moment when the opponent jumps and shoots, his blockade also appears immediately.

Under his interference, Mason hit the iron again, and Lehi turned around and picked the rebound.

"We can't give backcourt rebounds to others."

He threw it directly to Marbury, who rushed forward, and Marbury passed to Crawford on the side, and Crawford made a three-point shot and the ball went in.

With Lehi on the court, the Knicks' defensive level needs to be raised by at least one notch.

Led by Lehi, the Knicks gradually brought out a trace of excitement, and Michael Svetney, an interior player who came off the bench, was also full of energy.

At halftime, the Knicks were up by one point at 50:49.

At halftime, Lehi again said, "We're going to win, we're going to win." ”

Marbury also spoke: "If you don't want to win, stand up early now, and don't look like a girl when you play." ”

The acting coach lacks prestige, and if no one stepped up, the Knicks would definitely sink like this.

In the second half, the Bucks' interior line was still very positive, suppressing the Knicks' interior line.

"Lehi's breakthrough, Gazuric is in a brave state today, and he has used three blocks, but Lehi is not afraid at all."

"Marbury drew another foul on Morris Williams, the Knicks stepped up the breakaway, Marbury and Lehi took turns attacking, and the Bucks didn't look like they could do anything good."

"Mason fought hard, he finally managed to create a free throw opportunity, and the Bucks were not far behind."

"Three points...... Lehi shot directly, and we all thought that he would continue to break through, but let's not forget that Lehi has the ability to score three points. ”

"Crawford also hit a three-pointer, and he shot very quickly without the slightest hesitation."

When it mattered, the Knicks almost forced the other side to move the fight to the perimeter.

Lehi really provoked from the Desmond-Mason misunderstanding, and the opponent's firepower was concentrated in front of him, so that he had a better chance of controlling.

Mason relied too much on his body, his shooting was too inconsistent, and Lehi was almost completely victorious in the matchup.

On the other hand, Marbury is also in great shape, whether it is Morris Williams or Mike James, they can't guard him, and the form on the court slowly falls to the Knicks' side.

Seeing that time was running out, the Bucks swapped Joe Smith and Dan Gazuric to put on the strongest offensive lineup.

The Knicks are not afraid of the opponent's offensive lineup, and without the blocking of the inside line under the basket, Lehi and Marbury are even more unstoppable.

In the final moments, Michael Reed hit two three-pointers in a row, but it was to no avail.

At 101:96, the Knicks showed with victory that they are not willing to lose, even if there are many difficulties in failure, they are still playing for victory.
