Chapter 214: Away Winning Streak

Relying on Crawford's outburst and Lehi's all-out approach, the Knicks led 58-56 into the second half. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was really a physically demanding thing to play against Artest, and Lehi didn't talk much at halftime, and kept replenishing his strength.

By the start of the second half, he was in good spirits again, he liked to play against people, and it was definitely the joy of basketball, and only players like them who enjoyed the confrontation could get better.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Lehi, who had recovered his strength, made a decisive three-point shot.

This made Artest very unhappy, and in the next offense of the Kings, Artest received the ball in the low post and hit Lehi.

Artest's low-post singles are different from other players, that is, he squeezes in with pure strength, and his sudden burst of power is really difficult for people to bear.

On a whim, Lehi also burst out with all his strength, only to be fouled by the referee.

Artest hit two free throws and smiled smugly at Lehi.

Lehi didn't care at all, this kind of thing was too normal, he went to the Kings halfcourt and made a posture to eat Artest in the low post, but after receiving the ball to attract attention, it was sent to Marbury, who was ambushed outside the three-point line, and Marbury hit another three-pointer.

The Kings felt more passive at once, but the Knicks strengthened their defense, and they couldn't get many opportunities without Miller, but compared to their ability to play alone, Artest was really stronger, but now Artest is facing Lehi who has entered the defensive lineup.

Artest himself is very interested in singles Lehi, but the shooting percentage is very average, and compared to the offensive efficiency of the Knicks, the Kings' offense has become very jerky.

Artest started to play more pleasantly, but he soon noticed the Knicks' tendency to pull the score away again, and immediately understood the key, so he spewed trash talk again, hoping to anger Lehi.

The team is ahead, and Lehi will not be fooled, but he will defend Artest to the death, and seize the opportunity in the offense and immediately shoot, otherwise he will be willing to be a green leaf, making the Knicks' offense more and more fluent.

In the third quarter, the Knicks won by 7 points and extended the score advantage to 9 points.

In the second half, the Kings' veteran Collis Williams played well, hitting consecutive shots to close the gap a little more.

But the Knicks quickly controlled the situation, and after Li Hai's rhythm changed, he made it 2+1, which clearly showed that he had the ability, but he didn't need to play like this.

Artest was also ruthless, hitting another three-pointer, but immediately Lehi and Channing Frye combined to extend the lead.

Some of the combinations look very simple, but with the ability of the players, the opponent just can't prevent it.

Knicks Channing Frye comes up to block and then pulls out, as long as he has a touch of the touch, he is very threatening, because the Knicks' backcourt players have a strong ability to break through and tend to attract most of the defensive attention.

Now the Knicks' shortcomings are still an old problem, and Eddie Curry is always uneasy at the last moments, and if it weren't for their strong outside finishing ability, they would have suffered a lot of times in many cases.

As far as this game is concerned, Eddie Curry can't compare to the veteran Raheem in the fourth quarter, but this guy is still glass-hearted and can't be scolded.

Fortunately, the King's interior height was not enough, and the Knicks simply replaced David Lee, at least David Lee still has a hand to protect rebounds.

When the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Kings gave the impression that their offensive power was insufficient, and Lehi could feel that Mike Bibby's ability had declined, and he was inferior in the confrontation, which could only be regarded as decent.

It should be at the peak of the age but this situation occurs, and it can only be said that people are still different.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Kings felt a little unbeatable when they saw that the score gap had not narrowed, and only Artest had to grit his teeth and fight with Li Hai.

The confrontation between the two was extremely fierce, but there were not many fouls, and Lehi also played happily.

At 3:53, Lehi hit a two-pointer to extend the score to 10 points.

He took fewer shots than Artest, but his shooting percentage was higher because the offensive pressure was lighter.

At 1 minute and 28 seconds, Artest struck iron under the interference of Lehi, and the King came to the bench and gave up the game.

At 110:98, the Knicks won their winning streak on the road.

After the game, Lehi and Artest hugged each other, told each other that they were happy with him, and said that they watched a lot of videos of him when they practiced defense.

Artest was extremely unhappy when he lost the game, but after hearing Lehi's words, he immediately had a different attitude, became smiling, and pulled Lehi to talk a few more words.

The next day, the Knicks played back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers, and the difference this season was that the Trail Blazers selected two very good rookies, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, so the results were better than last season, but they were still some distance from the playoffs.

However, the most powerful player of the Trail Blazers now is Zach Randolph, this guy is also a type of unreliable defense, and there is basically no help defense, but he is still very good at rebounding, and his offense is also full of enthusiasm.

In a way, Randolph and Eddie Curry are the same type of players.

But after the game started, Randolph proved that he was still better than Eddie Curry with a strong offense, and basically no one stopped him on the Knicks' inside.

Eddie Curry hit the iron after a few inside hits, and it seems that he has not recovered from yesterday's game, and Lehi saw this situation and immediately took over the offensive banner.

The Trail Blazers' current No. 3 Amy Udoka is just a pure role player, Lehi has blown him up to the ground, and Brandon Roy doesn't take advantage of the old hot Marbury.

So the Knicks trailed by just one point when Randolph scored 11 points on 100 percent shooting.

Entering the second quarter, the Knicks sacrificed their magic weapon to Randolph, and Randolph was depressed, but Jamal Magloyle, who came off the bench, took the opportunity to play a few inside.

And after the Trail Blazers' starting center Joel Pulzbilla went down early because of foul problems, Eddie Curry was in full swing, and he liked to play shorter than himself, and backup center Magloyer just fits that condition.

When the Knicks came together on the inside offense, the Trail Blazers couldn't parry, not to mention that Crawford had already overtaken the score when he played with the bench lineup.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks not only overtook the score, but also led to double digits.

In front of the defending champions, the Trail Blazers, who are still rebuilding, are clearly a few notches behind. (To be continued.) )
