Back on their turf, the Knicks' players were more confident and emotionally charged at halftime. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Crawford was refreshed by his coach and teammates, and was secretly encouraged to do better in the future.

When Lehi saw this, he quickly encouraged Channing Frye, although he didn't defend Nowitzki very well, but he worked very hard, and the Knicks couldn't win without that kind of energy.

Channing Frye was in a decent state of mind, and he was questioned at the start of the season because the New Yorker's status was considered cronyism, but the team gave him the opportunity to shatter that doubt, and he will continue to go on with determination.

After the start of the second half, Nowitzki was murderous, coming up and scoring five points in a row to narrow the gap.

The Knicks also quickly made a change and let Lehi go to the main defense.

Lehi was also prepared, his height was not as good as Nowitzki, but he was also flexible, and he did not suffer in strength, he stepped forward to defend his feet and block the opponent outside.

Nowitzki can't force him to shoot, but he can make the opponent uncomfortable as much as possible.

If Nowitzki wants to hit him with height in the low post, then the flanking is coming.

With his kind of defense, Nowitzki suddenly had a lot of trouble to fight, and he could only fight at once to find opportunities, and it was difficult to break out.

In this way, although Lehi could not completely limit Nowitzki, after making him inefficient, the Knicks' own offense kept up with the opponent's rhythm.

At this time, the Mavericks' Josh Howard stepped up, and without Lehi's defense, he instantly relaxed a lot, and played several good offenses in a row, which is also a problem for the Knicks, the backcourt players are short, and the front defense has no other outstanding players except Lehi.

However, Josh Howard is also responsible for defending Lehi, and since he can't limit him on the defensive end, Lehi is making trouble on the offensive end.

Lehi originally played a relatively simple style, but when he faced Josh Howard again, he suddenly stopped and made a feint to shoot, and the other party was fooled.

Seeing that the foul on his body had come to the fourth time, Josh Howard's mentality finally changed.

The Knicks also made adjustments defensively, bringing on Jalen Rose to defend Josh Howard in advance, and both sides used their own tactics, and a slight advantage can make a difference on the court.

By the end of the third quarter, at 80:76, the Knicks' lead was reduced to just four points.

The bench between the two sides was easy, and Stackhouse was completely limited, and only Devin Harris scored a score, so when it came to the final battle between the two sides, the Knicks led by 6 points.

At the critical moment, the Mavericks mainly played with Nowitzki and Jason Terry, and Josh Howard was a little afraid to shoot without Lehi's defense at this time.

"The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Lehi, and after Nowitzki complained several times, the referee finally gave a warning to Lehi's defensive moves, and Lehi seemed to be explaining to the referee that there was nothing wrong with his defensive movements, and Nowitzki's stumbling appearance was too exaggerated."

"The game is getting hot and there is no easy chance of scoring for either side...... Lehi grabbed the frontcourt board, Josh Howard fouled, and he was full of grievances, but the referee said it was an obvious foul on the beater, the fifth foul, and it looks like the Mavericks are going to make adjustments. ”

"Eddie Curry made six fouls, the game was really intense, and the Knicks were already defending Nowitzki with Lehi, and now they also took the opportunity to sacrifice a small lineup."

"The Knicks successfully counterattacked, and Lehi rushed up and there was no one to stop him."

"Nowitzki played 2+1 when his body was out of balance, and the Mavericks still have hope of turning the tables."

With three minutes left in the game, Josh Howard returned to the court, and the Mavericks were already on the strongest lineup.

After the Knicks didn't have Eddie Curry, the Mavericks have been trying to make a fuss on the inside, which has also caused a certain amount of lethality to the Knicks.

At 2:54, Lehi's catch on the outside was suddenly a cold arrow, extending the margin to seven points that the Mavericks had just narrowed to four points.

All the opponents know Lehi's defensive style, but no one knows when he will suddenly change his attacking style, because his attack style is relatively fixed at each stage, or breaking through or pushing with his back, but suddenly it will be different, making people defenseless.

Nowitzki was caught in the trap and passed to Terry, who was missed by Francis.

With Terry unable to help, Nowitzki had no choice but to force a foul on Channing Frye when he faced the bag, but he missed a free throw from the free throw line because of too many confrontations.

Nowitzki was too tired, he had been facing the Knicks' strongest defense, there was almost no rest in the second half, and now he had to go through a fierce physical confrontation to score, but after he finally scored 1 point, the Knicks easily shot again.

The Mavericks can't defend the Knicks' small lineup at all, even if they play a small lineup, there is no way to completely limit it, and now it is normal to want to use the inside line to open the situation, just to see the Knicks break through the ball, and then break through and then easily hit two points, all of them are a little frustrated.

At the minute mark, the Mavericks gambled on a small lineup, but it still didn't work.

At 102:96, the Knicks went to the next city.

Lehi had a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds, and at the same time almost committed five fouls.

He believes that he can do better by tweaking the details.

After the Mavericks lost two games in a row, they no longer had the same calm as before, and it was their boss Cuban who jumped out of the starter, satirizing the Knicks' depressing defense and basketball retreat.

And the media began to question the Mavericks' tactics, believing that their coach "Little General" Avery Johnson was poor in command.

That's the reality, the Mavericks had a good record and Avery Johnson was considered talented when he won the best coach, but now he becomes a fool when he loses.

The winner of competitive sports is king, and without results there is nothing.

Lehi knew very well, so he didn't waste any time at the break, and he was going to help the team get stronger.

He only showed up in the pre-match interview, "It's difficult to defend Nowitzki, he's a great player, I'm definitely not going to limit him completely, but I'm definitely going to help the team win the game. (To be continued.) )
