After the thrilling win over the Wizards, Lehi also recognized the current situation of the team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He will continue to work hard to improve his importance in the Knicks and help the team more, but he will not be in such a hurry as before, he alone cannot make the team change quickly, so he will come step by step.

On December 12, Lehi welcomed Anthony at home.

He and Anthony are brothers and friends, but they are not particularly close.

This time Anthony came over, and Lehi also received each other warmly, and Anthony gave Lehi some advice as a senior brother, which made the relationship between the two a lot closer.

For Anthony, Lehi is very envious, entering the league is the absolute core of the team, with unlimited shooting rights, and they are just him and James at that time.

In addition to Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets also have Andre Miller, a guard who has won the assist king, and Earl Boikins, a small man on the bench, but their most obvious advantage over the Knicks is the interior, the interior combination of Marcus Camby and Kenyon Martin is enough to make the Knicks trouble, not to mention that there is Nene Hilario on the bench.

Communicating with Anthony has been done many times at practice games at Syracuse University, but it was the first time for Lehi in the NBA.

Crawford, who played a few iron games, was in good spirits again this time, but the interior line obviously suffered, and Tim Thomas was even blown up by Anthony to the point that there was no scum left, even if Crawford scored a few unbelievable shots, the Knicks still fell behind.

However, it is already common for Tim Thomas to be blown up, and his pseudo-starter estimates that the Knicks will not hesitate to give up at the first opportunity.

Seeing Li Hai coming, Anthony was still quite interested.

Different from the training in college, after he left, Lehi also took the team to win the NCAA championship, although the ranking in the draft was not ideal, but he also played well in the Knicks, and he also showed great ability to defend James before.

He should be stronger than James, and he'd love for everyone to know that.

Anthony's height and weight are a little stronger than Lehi's, and under Lehi's close defense, he directly leaned against Lehi to receive the ball, and then the rest of the Nuggets team pulled away, and he turned around and singled head-on.

Anthony first made a couple of big tentative steps to push Lehi out of the way, and then a face-to-face jumper that smashed the ball into the rim of the basket and scored.

"Well, Lee, I won't show mercy today."

"No problem, Cameron, I'm not going to show mercy, I've learned a little bit of defensive skills compared to when I was in college."

"Lee, you can use them all, I won't be afraid of any kind of defensive skills."

The two came to the Nuggets' half court while talking, and Lehi suddenly shook and quickly ran to the 45-degree three-point line, and when he received the ball, he got up and down with his hand, and the three points went into the net.

Anthony was stunned for a moment, even if he saw a lot of reports about Lehi during this time, he subconsciously regarded Lehi as a substitute in Syracuse University, a substitute player who worked hard defensively, and now that he really played against him, he felt that Lehi was really a lot stronger.

It's not just the skills, but the strong confidence that exudes from the body, and the feeling of being a star.

In front of Lehi, he can't lose face, he also played the role of a senior brother when chatting before the game, if he is defeated by his junior brother, it will not be good.

Just after halftime, Anthony reached for the ball, he dribbled two steps to the three-point line, and suddenly it was a pull-up jumper, ****** three points, he was going to score one, and it was going to be more exciting.

Lehi knew that he was going to make such a choice, so he jumped up and sealed it with one hand almost at the same time.

Anthony was interfered with, a three-pointer smashed to the basket, and the basketball was confiscated by Kurt Thomas.

"Cameron, I know you well, and you ......"

Before Lehi's words were finished, the man was gone, and when Anthony turned around, Lehi had already received a long pass from Kurt Thomas, rushed to the Nuggets basket like lightning, and completed the dunk score.

The muscles in Anthony's face twitched, this was not going to work.

He singled Li Hai head-on again, but this time it felt a little wrong, and he hit the iron in the middle shot.

Fortunately, Lehi didn't score in the next round, otherwise he would really be unable to hang his face.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by three points at 21-24.

Anthony, who had rested for a while, also calmed down, defeating Lehi was inevitable, and the victory or defeat of the game had to be won.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Crawford tied the score with a three-pointer.

Anthony didn't rush into a single shot, passing the ball to Kenyon Martin near the front three-point line, Kenyon Martin missed a mid-range shot, but Camby grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, causing Muhammad to foul and hit both free throws.

Anthony smiled confidently, and the Nuggets played more reasonably and could definitely beat the Knicks.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, he accidentally let Lehi use his speed to shake it off, and when he saw Lehi score again, his heart trembled again.

When it was time to rotate, Anthony went down to rest, but Lehi remained on the court.

Facing the Nuggets' backup small forward, the aging Brian Russell, Lehi scored six points in a row in a few minutes, and Anthony couldn't sit still any longer.

If he also lost to Lehi in terms of the strongest offense, he would never allow it.

The head coach of the Nuggets also felt that Anthony was off the court, and others couldn't support it, so he quickly replaced Anthony back.

"Lee, I can't let you continue to be so comfortable." Anthony got the ball in the low post and started to play with his back.

He could clearly feel the strength of Lehi, which was absolutely first-class on the front line, and his strength was also very strong, and now he actually felt like he couldn't sit still.

Anthony kept making turns and feints, and after trying to turn a few half-turns to the left and right, he finally found an opportunity to pick the basket successfully.

It's just that he didn't expect it to take so much effort, Anthony made a relaxed appearance and ran back with a smile.

Even if he hadn't faced Anthony for more than a year, Lehi still had that familiar feeling, this senior brother of Syracuse University had too many offensive methods, and there was no way to limit it by relying on physical fitness alone.

It is necessary to let Anthony attack in an uncomfortable way, and at the same time continue to strengthen the physical confrontation for attrition, even if the Nuggets' interior line is stronger than them, it must be Anthony who can make the final decision at the critical moment, and Lehi must show all his skills.

"Hey, Cameron, it's not enough to make me feel uncomfortable."

Lehi received the ball, took the same big tentative step, burst to Anthony's side, and then stepped back to meet Anthony's defense to complete the shot.
