Chapter 208: Battle Sir

However, the Knicks fought too hard with the Pacers, and it was not good to return to the home court to play back-to-backs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Lehi scoring 31 points, the Knicks still lost to the visiting Nuggets, and Anthony scored 34 points and finally had a good time.

There were no surprises in this game, the Knicks failed or their form was wrong.

They didn't lose Anthony, but Marcus Camby's 7 blocks, and the Nuggets' other interior *** Hilario also had two blocks, and the Nuggets still had an absolute advantage in the battle with the Knicks after Kenyon Martin's injury was reimbursed.

And Eddie Curry only grabbed 3 rebounds, and was also criticized by the media, and in the interview afterwards, Eddie Curry was directly asked by the reporter about defense, and he couldn't help but burst into foul language, which also caused a storm.

On December 18th, the Knicks were adjusted to sit at home against the Jazz, who are in hot form this season.

Channing Frye came back and returned directly to the main position, although David Lee has stronger rebounding ability, but on the whole, there is still no Channing Frye suitable for the current Knicks.

Of course, Channing Frye has his shortcomings, and the Knicks are not very happy with the interior right now.

That's the difference between championship teams and before, when Lehi first came to the Knicks, it was good enough for the team to have a rookie like Channing Frye, who dreamed of having an interior player like Eddie Curry who could score on the inside.

But what they want to achieve now is different, and the requirements for the players are different.

After this failure, the media even spread the news that the Knicks were going to trade Eddie Curry, and the team officials immediately came out to refute the rumors and accuse this nonsense.

In fact, there have been no major changes to the Jazz roster this season, only because of their sophomore rookie Deron Williams' rapid growth and lack of injuries, they have exploded into a different battle, and their second-round rookie Paul Millsap has also played well.

Although prepared, the Knicks were caught off guard by the other party at the beginning.

The Knicks' interior began to blow up, and Eddie Curry went off the court without scoring a point, two fouls and two turnovers.

Carlos Boozer went on a big show, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and the Jazz's other interior lineman, Memet Oku, also scored 7 points, and the two of them scored more than the entire Knicks team.

After the Knicks started to get caught off guard, it was too late for the perimeter players to make a move, and only Lehi, Marbury and Francis scored in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, with the Knicks trailing by 14 points at 20:34, Larry Brown couldn't help but lose his temper and pressed the sleepwalking Eddie Curry directly to the bench.

In the second quarter, the Knicks finally played the defense that the head coach wanted, directly allowing the opponent to score only 10, and the halftime 46:44 led by 2 points.

Lehi scored 7 points in the first quarter, and when he needed to chase points in the second quarter, he scored 14 points and had three steals, which completely drove the whole team.

"I don't want the game to be a rollercoaster, focus, and I want you to be able to stay focused from the start of the game, not every team will give you a chance to catch up."

"We're not just aiming for the playoffs, we're going to beat more than just teams that can turn us over by a dozen points in a single quarter, you know."

Coach Larry Brown was still teaching his players in the middle of the field, and no one dared to speak out in a group of people who knew they were wrong.

Similarly, in the Jazz's lounge, their head coach Jerry Sloan was throwing a tantrum, and the second time the Jazz played like this, he was greatly annoyed.

In the third quarter, the Knicks' defense still made the Jazz very depressed.

Carlos Boozer has a quick feel that comes and goes, and the Knicks are experienced in pick-and-rolls, and Larry Brown has a lot of research in this area.

Lehi also has a great advantage in the face of Kirilenko, compared with before, Lehi feels that Kirilenko's ability has decreased due to injury, and he is still capped twice by the opponent in attack.

His physical advantage over Kirilenko is great, the opponent's figure is a bit of Prince's flavor, but in fact, it is much more difficult to deal with than Prince, both times Lehi thought he suppressed the opponent with strength, but when he shot, Kirilenko jumped up in time and used his long arms to complete the interference, worthy of winning the block king.

However, Lehi didn't care, and used the advantage of strength and speed to rampage, cutting another 10 points in the third quarter to help the team extend the lead to 5 points, and he also cut 31 points in the third quarter.

In addition, he grabbed 17 rebounds, and it was his desperate efforts to keep the Jazz at bay.

Among them, the Jazz's interior line is as strong as the Knicks, and the weak offense and defense are also a big reason, and in the face of Lehi's defense, Eddie Curry can't score, which is the reason why Larry Brown is angry.

Defensively, he's already open-minded, and if he can't score yet, the team won't need him.

In the final quarter, the Jazz also began to fight hard, first Deron Williams hit a three-pointer, and then he assisted Oku to hit a three-pointer, and the scores of the two teams were immediately tangled.

After Deron Williams was powerful, he made up for Boozer's offensive disadvantage, while Oku's outside offense and the Knicks' interior were difficult to guard, which was also the advantage of the big man on the outside.

In order to defend Lehi, Kirilenko basically did not participate in the attack, and was close to Lehi all the time, which made Lehi's attack a lot more difficult.

However, Lehi still has a way, he has speed to break through, and he has strength to hit him with his back, but he should pay more attention to the timing of his shot, the Jazz team except for Kirilenko, the poor awareness of other people's defense is his real opportunity to attack, and other teammates have to worry about Kirilenko's defense, Lehi only needs to solve Kirilenko's defense, don't worry about anything else.

"Lehi broke through again, and Boozer under the basket basically watched again, and didn't react at all."

Lehi carried Kirilenko and sat directly near the three-second zone, and Oku came to help defend ...... Lehi and Marbury cooperated, and Marbury's layup caused Boozer to foul. ”

Gortat came up to block and dismantle, and the Jazz were forced to switch defenses, and the defender in front of Lehi became Oku, and he played small...... One step, Lehi passed Oku in just one step, it was too fast. ”

By the fourth quarter, the pace of the court was completely controlled by the Knicks. (To be continued.) )
