Chapter 157: The Last Persistence
The Wizards are trying to play well and suppress the Knicks in a dignified manner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But they soon found out that the rationality of fighting tactics with the Knicks was not an opponent at all.
The current Knicks have changed significantly from last season, and even the first half of the season, and after the efforts of several core players, the whole team has been twisted into a rope.
Coupled with the excitement of victory, the current Knicks are still able to play team basketball.
In the first quarter, the Wizards were able to keep up with the Knicks under the leadership of three core players, but as the game deepened, the Wizards became more and more awkward.
Desperate defense, inside fighting, and reasonable ball sharing, they don't usually do this to this extent, this is the playoffs, too much, and it certainly won't last in an unfamiliar way.
Especially in the scoreline, and Arenas found that playing too reasonably affected his hand, he needs to have the ball in his hand all kinds of powerful impacts, and in the case of doing his best, his power will be just right.
Just like last game, Arenas is not going to rest in this game, he is very strong, since he has to do his best, he can't let go of a minute.
Why would it be the Knicks who won, obviously the other party has no way to limit him, in that case, he must not be playing well enough, so just do better.
So when he saw that the score was slow to take the lead, Arenas once again turned on the mode of taking over the game.
In this case, the head coach of the Wizards only intervened, and theoretically the more reasonable the play, the better the chance of victory, but the only game the Wizards won was to use the stars to play an unreasonable mode.
And Arenas, who shoots like crazy, is more threatening than Arenas who passes, which is what the Knicks really feel, and the final result of the game is to win, and this method is obviously suitable for Arenas.
But even if it suits Arenas, it doesn't mean that the Wizards will win, after all, basketball is a five-player game.
By the time Arenas got his hands up in the second quarter, he was once again unstoppable.
Marbury, Francis, Crawford, and Richardson also took turns to consume Arenas.
All Lehi had to do was stop Jamison from going crazy like that.
Originally, in the first half of the second quarter, the Knicks were going to lead by 10 points, but with Arenas hitting two three-pointers and four free throws, by halftime, the Knicks had a two-point lead at 48:46.
"It's definitely us who wins, it's the same rhythm as our previous wins, the opponent's most powerful weapon is to get rid of a few bosses, and take me to the second round of the playoffs today."
Seeing that Lehi's eyes were full of longing, Marbury laughed, "You kid can talk, obviously you are the biggest limelight, and the media reports have made me red." ”
"Don't worry, Arenas is a nonsense fight, if he gets two games in a row, we just don't want to mess around."
Francis said with some disdain: "It's really great to be able to score three or four hundred points in the playoffs, but if you don't have to win as a premise, there are more people in the league who can do it." ”
Several rookies are also coaxing on the side, and they can participate in the playoffs in their first season in the league, which is already better than many of their brothers in the same class.
Regardless of their personality and style of play, the Knicks are now in the majority of people who are willing to fight and make certain sacrifices, regardless of their personality and playing style, which makes them extremely powerful.
At the beginning of the second half, Arenas hit another jumper to tie the score.
But right away, Marbury returned the color, and even if Arenas had done his best offensively, he was not flattering on defense.
This is different from the strength that Lehi pursues, as a good player, you must be strict with yourself on both the offensive and defensive ends, and the lack of energy is just an excuse, and when you go all out to win, that kind of concentration is not divided between offense and defense.
But this matter is that many Knicks players don't think so, and Lehi is always trying to influence the people on the team, hoping to build his ideal team.
The Wizards are now almost in a six-man rotation, and Butler barely has a break except for Arenas, but he has to keep an eye on Lehi and be careful not to foul at all times.
As a result, Butler sometimes suffers from gains and losses on the defensive end, and wants to do his best to limit Lehi, and is worried that he will not be able to stay on the court to help the team due to too many fouls, and as a result, Lehi has seized the opportunity several times to break through his defense and complete the score.
In the third quarter, the Knicks blossomed again, including bench players.
The Wizards are still dominated by Arenas, and only Daniels, an old face off the bench, can hit a few shots in these games.
Arenas is scrappy and doesn't seem to get tired, but at the cost of defending like an ornament.
Towards the end of the third quarter, Crawford hit a three-pointer to give the Knicks a slim three-point advantage.
Finally, when it was time to end the first round of the playoffs, Li Hai took a deep breath to calm himself down, and he must seize this opportunity.
When he came on the court, the Wizards' lineup became their most attacking small lineup again.
In the previous game, Arenas and Jamison hit three points in succession to turn the score over by 1 point.
After Lehai got on the court, he received the ball with his back in the low post, and the Wizards immediately pinched him, and Lehi distributed the ball into Marbury's hands, and then ran out quickly.
The Wizards player who caught him rushed to Marbury again, Marbury broke through with the ball, and then threw it in the middle, and Lehi, who ran near the free throw line and turned around immediately, received the ball and started immediately, Jamison was a step slower and could only watch him dunk.
At this point in the game, the referees who are not very obvious fouls will not blow the whistle, and the Knicks, who are obviously better coordinated, have a certain advantage, and after the main team returns to the court, they gradually transform this advantage into victory.
At 4 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, Lehi cut the basketball in the hands of Arenas, who was about to go to the basket, and then passed a long pass to Marbury to advance quickly, Marbury assisted Crawford to complete the score, and the Knicks' lead came to 5 points.
Arenas is very unwilling, these games, many times it is just a little bit worse, as long as he can continue to score, as long as he can hit a few more goals, he will definitely win the game.
Arenas dribbled from the side to the center and then suddenly pulled up for a three-point shot.
Hit, sure enough, Arenas silently read in his mouth, and the whole person entered a wonderful state.
"Let's score another goal." Lehi encouraged his teammates to run forward, as if Arenas's performance was air. (To be continued.) )
