Chapter 262: Different
The league's teams are always regressing if they don't advance or retreat, and some teams that don't actively seek change can't even stand still, and that's the situation for the Nets right now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kidd and Carter are getting older year by year, and the so-called Three Musketeers are slowly becoming famous.
At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' offense flowed smoothly, from the inside and outside.
The Nets put most of their strength on the perimeter, but their strongest scorer is now Jefferson, and Jefferson's characteristics are restrained by Lehi, which is a bit embarrassing.
Carter is of course still a first-class player, although his strength has slowly declined, and by the time the Nets adjust their offensive focus, the Knicks have firmly grasped the lead.
The Nets' Kostic didn't grow up, and their interior line was completely blue-collar, and it was still a lot worse than the Knicks' best blue-collar team.
In the case of a complete win on the inside, the Knicks played without pressure, and their backcourt trio all scored 20+ easily, and the team pressed the Nets from beginning to end.
At the beginning, the Nets were still their biggest threat to the division championship, but now the opposing players are about the same, but there is no threat left.
In this game, the Knicks also defeated the opponent 110-87, and Lehi showed efficient scoring ability, scoring 36 points.
This season, he has been on the scoring charts since the beginning.
This season for the Knicks, it was a smooth one, but there were still problems off the court.
With the appearance of Lehi, the history of this world is different from the world he has experienced, he has changed many things, but some things have not been able to change.
Marbury's father was born, leaving him grieved.
In another world, Marbury's father died of a heart attack in the Knicks' game against the Suns, because the team did not notify Marbury at that time, which also led to Marbury's feud with the team, and he never played for the Knicks, and even quit the NBA when he was playing.
In this world, Isaiah Thomas did not become the coach of the team at all, Lehi had a good relationship with Marbury's family, often nagging teammates to pay attention to the old man's body, Marbury's father would be taken care of every time he came to watch the game, and there was no problem when the Knicks played against the Suns.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the old man passed away.
Marbury asked for leave and left the team, and Lehi followed, but the head coach didn't understand Lehi's behavior and called him to join the team to participate in the game, in a rather serious tone.
"The team is just right, I'm grateful for you coming to help, there's no need to miss the game."
"I don't come to your house once or twice, my uncle is also my elder, I always have to do something...... But don't be too sad, he definitely wants you to do better on the pitch too. ”
When Lehi and Marbury weren't there, the Knicks were playing back-to-back games with the 76ers.
In the first game, the Knicks' players were united, and in order to win, Marbury worked hard, and Crawford scored 30+10 to lead the team to victory.
But this sentiment can only last one game, without Lehi and Marbury, the Knicks' strength has been greatly affected, and they lost to the 76ers in the second game.
Larry Brown was also angry at Lehi's disorganized and undisciplined behavior, and the team decided to fine him.
After spending a few days with Marbury, Lehi also returned to the team, and Marbury would later sort out his mood and return to the team to report for duty.
After all, unlike that world, the atmosphere of the team itself is very good, and even if Marbury is sad, there will be no conflict with the team.
Lehi also thought it clearly later, he was afraid that Marbury would collapse because he thought too much, this world is completely different from the other world.
However, he didn't stay to help for Marbury, he was an orphan, and he had indeed regarded Marbury's father as an elder in the United States for a few years, and where to help for a few days, Lehi felt better.
On December 10, after Lehi returned to the team, the team stopped playing the visiting Mavericks at home.
The Mavericks were a bit miserable last season, but their first record in the league was blacked out in the playoffs.
But they felt that it was a problem with the underdogs, and their squad was still top-notch, so they didn't change much in the summer, and the main players were still those guys.
But they obviously still think too much, and they didn't start the season badly, but it was still a lot worse than last season and what they expected.
The Mavericks' lineup hasn't changed much, except that Devin Harris has been introduced to the starting lineup and Jason Terry has been paired in the backcourt to add impact.
Marbury wasn't there, and the Knicks went straight to rookie Wilson Chandler to start.
Although Wilson Chandler is not bad, he is certainly still flawed as a starter, but he is still a relatively good candidate overall, at least the physical fitness is the most suitable, able to keep up with the pace of the Knicks, and also increases the height of the backcourt.
The current roster structure of the Mavericks is somewhat similar to that of the Knicks, and both sides started from the inside, with Randolph and Nowitzki both strong on the offensive end.
It's just that Josh Howard wilted a little when he met Lehi, causing the Mavericks' offensive pressure to be more focused on Nowitzki.
If this happens to other teams, there will definitely be big problems on offense, but the Mavericks are different, Nowitzki is really strong enough, and he scored 15 points in the first quarter, but the Knicks trailed by 2 points at 26:28.
However, if this kind of all-encompassing style of play cannot be maintained, the Mavericks will definitely have problems.
So the Knicks weren't worried at all, they just stepped up defensively.
Nowitzki's side has engaged in a lot of physical confrontation to attrition, and as long as the opponent has a flaw, the Knicks will instantly suppress the opponent.
Sure enough, in the second quarter, Nowitzki was not so brave, and Lehi also took the opportunity to lead the team to play a wave of small climaxes to overtake the score.
The Mavericks are experienced with Lehi's defense, but they just can't be restrained.
Josh Howard didn't limit Lehi and hit only one shot himself.
By halftime, the Knicks had a 53-49 lead.
The Mavericks simply can't do it, even if the Knicks don't have Marbury, but Lehi has restrained them too much, limiting their second scorer and not enough to turn it into a breakthrough.
They can only rely too much on Nowitzki, and their single tactic is slowly mastered by the Knicks.
At the beginning of the second half, Nowitzki was hot, but as the game progressed, Nowitzki, who had been accompanied by high-intensity defense, began to have problems with his physical strength.
