"I don't like losing streaks, not just because the team is the defending champion, after all, basketball is all about winning."
After the game, Li Hai's strong speech once again became a hot topic in the news, and whether the basketball game was the first victory also launched a heated discussion among the fans.
This is Lehi's current influence, and there may be a lot of gap between the honor and the superstar, but his influence among the fans is no weaker than anyone because of the support of the majority of fans in the motherland.
In the third game away from home in the West, Lehi met an opponent this time, and Artest had already released his words that he would do his best to limit Lehi.
Lehi asked the reporter with a smile that he didn't remember any defensive tactics the king had.
Provoking opponents and daring to say big things, Lehi's mentality is not at all a rookie period, and he leads the Eastern Conference Forward list in this year's All-Star vote, which is also a reflection of strength.
The Kings have been completely different this season, with only Mike Bibby left on the lineup, and Lehi's classmate Kevin Martin has risen strongly to become the Kings' strongest scorer.
Against the Knicks, the Kings showed high morale, and the bench was Artest.
Artest has strength, but at the peak of the Auburn Palace incident, it had a great impact on him, and also affected the Pacers who were originally terrifying.
In the Kings, Artest is not very suitable, and at the beginning of the game, Artest first showed not defense, but a neat three-pointer.
Catching the ball and throwing, Lehi didn't have time to stop it, and it looked like he was excited.
Lehi remembered that in his first season, he was also excited to meet Artest, and in a short period of time, he also became a player who could make others give it their all.
Of course, in addition to attacking and defending is what Artest is best at, as soon as Lehi passes the half, he sticks it like a kraft candy, long arms, strong strength and reflexes, which can make any offensive player uncomfortable.
But it's just Artest, not the Kings, who are now on the inside because of the declining injuries of White Miller, short inside Kenny Thomas, and Raheem Sr.
So the Knicks started with Eddie Curry attacking, and Eddie Curry also hit easily.
Marbury then combined with Channing Frye for a pick-and-roll, and the latter hit a mid-range shot.
Artest was a little unhappy, "Lehi, why don't you attack, are you afraid of my defense." ”
"Do you think the current situation requires me to attack, your defense line is not there at all." Li Haiyun said lightly.
This sentence immediately made Artest angry, "Okay, I'll make you have to score right away." ”
When he spoke, he immediately asked for the ball like a teammate, and he wanted to cover after the ball, like the boss of the team.
However, Artest felt really good today, a cover Lehi was only a little slower, and he hit another three-pointer, which is obviously not what he is good at.
Lehi was also completely alert, and instantly made himself more focused.
He got the ball in the attack, and at this time, even his teammates felt that Li Hai would respond, after all, his current status in the rivers and lakes is there, this is not a tactical problem, but a momentum problem, in this team competition, momentum is invisible and intangible, but it is very important.
Lehi stepped on the three-point line with his back against Artest to receive the ball, Artest's defense made him a little uncomfortable, unlike some defenders, Artest's strength was able to threaten him.
After receiving the ball, Lehi turned around and deftly dodged a cut from the opponent, unlike others, Artest's center of gravity did not change when he cut the ball, so it was not a good time to break through.
Lehi bent down slightly and made a tentative step, almost squeezing Artest out of the way a little, and then pulled it up.
If you want to talk about Artest's weakness, then the bounce power must be part of it, but there are not many players who can squeeze him away and then complete the shooting action in an instant.
After Lehi squeezed half a step away with a tentative step, the opponent came up again to foul, and his shot hit steadily.
There was no cover, and he responded to everyone on the field with a direct dialogue hit.
Artest's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and he asked for the ball again, this time to single Lehi.
However, his offensive skills are not as good as defense, and he barely came to a step-back shot under Lehi's defense, and the result was iron.
The Knicks' counterattack steadily hit the interior and resulted in a foul from Brad Miller.
In the offense, Artest asked for the ball again, and the head coach of the Suns next to him had a bad look on his face, Artest's style of play in the offense was destined to not become the first core of the team, and if he always came to attack, the team would be more than lucky.
Fortunately, Mike Bibby ignored him and passed directly to Kevin Martin, who ran out of position, who hit the shot.
Artest is a little angry, he is sometimes not rational enough, which is also an important reason why he can't get a high salary that matches his strength.
The Kings had problems defensively, and neither did the Knicks, and Eddie Curry quickly exposed his weaknesses on the defensive end and allowed Miller to hit easily.
The Kings' offense was also very good, especially when they were full of energy, and then Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Brad Miller played several efficient combinations, Artest was unhappy but also went all out in defense of Lehi, and the Knicks suddenly fell behind.
In the first quarter, they trailed by 7 points at 26:33, but fortunately, the Kings' current bench really has nothing to do, and Crawford came on the court with the Knicks' bench lineup for a fierce attack, and immediately chased the score back.
After the two sides changed the main lineup, Brad Miller was a little uncomfortable, and the Kings could only continue to keep Sharif Abdul Raheem on the court, which led to problems with their offensive coordination and gave Artest more balls.
Artest was naturally happy that he could have a good fight with Lehi.
Lehi was also happy that he could play a bigger role in attack and defense.
In order to practice defense, Lehi watched a lot of Artest's videos, and he also had a deep understanding of how to deal with this person, and he had to act concisely in attack, and he was hard in defense, and he was not afraid if he could keep up with his strength.
At the end of the first half, Artest was hit by Lehi in the offense and did not protect the ball, Lehi took the opportunity to steal the fast break and score, and after accelerating, Artest could not catch up.
That defensive means just now, but Artest's forte, I didn't expect it to be used on me, not to mention how wonderful the expression on Artest's face was. (To be continued.) )
