Unlike in the East, there are more power forwards in the West, and after Lee Hai plays, Dirk Nowitzki is opposite him in the West. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A lot of the passes above the All-Star were more casual, and the first time Lehi defended Nowitzki, he squeezed directly in front of the opponent and broke the ball that Tony Parker hoisted over.

He accelerated directly, and no one in the West could keep up with him, and he scored a dunk in one piece.

In the first half, the Eastern Conference bench players did not score much, and the Western West led by 10 points at 68:58.

After the third quarter, all the players began to slowly get serious, Marbury's injury just happened to be on the bench in the second half, Chauncey Billups replaced Marbury as the point guard, and the center became the serious defensive Ben Wallace, and the defense in the East has reached the level of the regular season.

Unaware of the change in the West, the West made several mistakes, and Billups, Lehi and James hit three-pointers to catch up the score.

By the end of the third quarter, the East had a two-point lead at 97:95.

In the final quarter, all the star players showed their real skills, and the score began to stalemate.

At the decisive moment, the lineups of both sides have changed slightly, Wade was added to the east, forming a strong impact with Lehi and James, and Yao Ming was replaced by Brand in the west to increase the mobility of the interior line.

With O'Neal here, the East can play the inside, but when it comes to switching, there are no players in the West who can keep up with the speed of Iverson, Wade, James and Lehi, and after the West takes the initiative to reduce the height of the inside, the positional battle does not have too many advantages.

At 3:11 of the game, Lehi stole Nash's pass to McGrady and completed a fast-break open connection with James, bringing the lead in the East to double digits.

At the last moment, Kobe Bryant was ruthless and continued to score with sudden shots, but Lehi and Wade in the East grabbed rebounds in the front court before and after, and did not let the West catch up with the score.

The chance of a lore in another time and space did not appear, and the East kept the score lead to the end, not giving the West a chance at all.

At 125:118, the East won the All-Star Game, James won the MVP, and Lehi, who appeared in the All-Star Game for the first time, got 15 points and 8 rebounds, and a game-high four steals, and was the key to the victory in the East.

Just when Lehi's group was having fun at All-Star, the team made another trade.

Previously, Francis trade rumors were boiling, and the Magic team also came out to refute the rumors, but as soon as the All-Star weekend passed, the rumors became true.

The Magic intended a complete rebuild around Howard, so the Knicks' bargaining chip in trading Francis was not the previously rumored Crawford, but the expiring contract of "Penny" Hardaway and the addition of Matt Barnes.

The general manager of the Knicks, Isaiah Thomas, is undoubtedly very capable, but his characteristic is that he only selects expensive ones, and he doesn't care if there is chemistry between players, and the same is true of the previous few big trades, if it weren't for Lehi, the Knicks would definitely be finished.

This transaction was also questioned by the media and some celebrities, originally the Knicks Marbury, Crawford, Lehi, Eddie Curry was not enough to score a ball, but in exchange for a ball possession, is it to want the infighting to become more violent.

Although Lehi has had a good relationship with Marbury this season, there has been news that they are infighting, and Lehi has nothing to do about it.

He and Marbury both welcomed the arrival of Francis, Marbury had long been looking forward to someone to play point guard, although Francis is also an offensive guard, but looking at the contradiction between him and the Magic, it seems that he wants to play the No. 1 position, and it just so happens that Marbury wants to play the No. 2 position.

Lehi also agrees with Francis's strength, but after the latter was traded to the Magic by the Rockets, he obviously has always had a knot in his heart, and his strength is also retreating, but if Francis can play hard in New York, the Knicks' backcourt, which is already at the forefront of the league, will be a dick.

Imagine having four backcourters with Lehi, Marbury, Francis and Crawford who can shoot suddenly, their opponents are afraid that they will not have as many players to foul, and they can play in the backcourt Jalen Rose, Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson.

After learning the news, Lehi immediately asked Yao Ming for Francis's phone number, and called to sincerely say that he was a fan of Francis, and he was very excited to learn that they could fight together.

Lehi felt that although Francis was not as competitive as Marbury, he was also a man who liked to listen to compliments and would show great fighting power because he was taken seriously.

Isiah Thomas just pulls people and doesn't care about the follow-up, and Larry Brown often has a straight face, and the thing that helps the team form a good chemistry is going to be the one who will be in charge.

Of course, it was also because of the familiarity of Boss Fu in another time and space that Lehi was so enthusiastic.

Sure enough, because of Yao Ming's relationship, Francis feels good about Lehi, but that's it, he has been repeatedly abandoned by the team, and Francis is not in a good mood now.

On February 22, the Knicks faced the Heat at home.

The Heat have also been upgraded this season, with the No. 1 spot becoming "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, the new small forward James Posey is also a conscientious player, and there are Gary Payton, Antoine Walker and Alonzo Mourning on the bench, plus the more powerful Dwayne Wade and the still All-Star Shaquille O'Neal, there is no doubt that they are aiming for a championship.

Of course, this season is a combination of heroes, in addition to the Heat, the Pistons, who are now the No. 1 record in the league, the defending champion Spurs, and the menacing Mavericks, are all ambitious.

As for the Knicks, they belong to the second tier with the Suns, Cavaliers and other teams, and they are the kind of teams that look strong, but always feel like something is missing.

This matchup with the Heat also seems to prove this, and the Knicks traded Eddie Curry in the hope that he can resist a big center like O'Neal, after all, he is also the closest interior player to O'Neal in the league in terms of weight.

But apparently Eddie Curry didn't have that awareness, went up to defend at the behest of Larry Brown, and then quickly fouled too much, and didn't even play 20 minutes in a game, and graduated with six fouls.

The Knicks also lost in this game in struggle, and they were indeed a little worse than the Heat.

On February 24, the Knicks hosted the Nets.

As opponents in the same division, the two teams have given it their all every time they meet, and this time Francis also started as the Knicks' No. 1 position. (To be continued.) )
