Chapter 254: A Strong Start

James is conflicted, he is dissatisfied with the operation of the team, if he also has an All-Star helper, he will not play so hard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But he wants to knock out a team with a luxurious lineup like the Knicks by himself, how happy it should be.

At half-time, he tried his best to encourage his teammates and tell others they could win.

On the Knicks' side, Larry Brown is reminding his teammates of the direct problem of cooperation, how to run in well, and his idea is to get back every detail that has not been done well, and then ask the players to correct it.

By the second half, James was finally not so accurate.

Now the Knicks' defense is more troublesome than the playoffs, at that time the Knicks can only pinch him, and now Lehi dares to press him closely, and if he rushes to the inside, Camby's ability to assist in defense is not fake, which forces him to fire from a distance, but his shooting is still unstable.

As for the Knicks, Randolph hit consecutive shots at the beginning of the third quarter, and the score began to pull away again.

James was very unwilling, but his impact on the inside was restricted by Camby, and he was forced by Lehi to shoot on the outside so that the shooting rate was not high, and he was very depressed.

The key is that the Cavaliers have too few people who can help him, unlike the Knicks, in addition to Lee Overseas, there is Randolph on the offensive end, Marbury and Francis outside, and Crawford on the bench, and Lehi is a real loss.

And the Knicks' upgraded interior line does not have the previous weaknesses, they have not played in the playoffs, and it is even more difficult to compare now.

James didn't rest in the second half, and even if the team couldn't match the strength, he still had to fight.

If you don't have the courage to beat each other, this season will be difficult.

James's full strength is still somewhat effective, because his physical fitness is too beastly, and Lehi also practices hard day and night, but it is still a little inferior to James.

And after the opponent attracts the defense, he will also pass the ball to the outside, and the Cavaliers can't hit the inside, so they can only put cold arrows on the outside, and there are times when they can succeed.

But compared to the Knicks' stable offense and defense, the Cavaliers just relied on James to increase playing time and hang with strong individual ability.

And James's powerful ability is also flawed, and his outside shooting is always inconsistent.

In the fourth quarter, when the Knicks' main team went down to rest, the Cavaliers once saw hope, but as soon as the main team returned, the gap was revealed.

Li Hai came up with a three-point hit, which directly wiped out the knight's confidence.

James scored 40 points, but the Cavaliers still scored 99:116 to the Knicks, Lehi also scored 35 points in this game, and the new recruit Randolph had 21 points and 14 boards, and Camby had 9 points, 16 boards and 4 blocks.

The outside world exclaimed that the current Knicks are already the public enemy of the alliance.

And the Celtics, who formed the Big Three, also beat the Wizards by 20 points, proving that their combination is no worse than the Knicks, or even stronger.

This situation has worried many teams, which is different from the strength of the Pistons in the previous two years, and also different from the Knicks last year, especially the Celtics, who directly gathered together as three All-Stars, which was a rare situation before.

Lehi has a different view on this, although he, a Knicks player, is considered to have no backache when he stands and talks.

"Basketball is not a game that can be played with a lot of stars...... Oh, it's a competitive game, it's not a basketball game, it's not like you want to play a game, and there's no guarantee at the start of the season who will win the championship. ”

"You didn't think the Knicks were successful then, and you don't know who it will be now."

"Of course, our goal is the championship, let's beat us."

On Nov. 4, they take on the Timberwolves at home.

Without Garnett, the Timberwolves are now centered around young interior lineman Al Jefferson.

Al Jefferson has good scoring and rebounding, but he is not Garnett, and the defense is the biggest gap, which is at the same level as Randolph, and he will definitely not be able to take the Timberwolves that Garnett can't take.

The Knicks had a suppressive advantage from the beginning, and the entire Timberwolves relied on three-point points and Al Jefferson's mid-range to score some points.

Even if the team hasn't run in well, they still clocked out in the third quarter, and the Knicks won 109-83.

On November 6, the Knicks welcomed the Denver Nuggets at home.

The Nuggets are off to a good start, with Iverson and Anthony on the outside, Eddie Curry and Kenyon Martin on the inside, and JR Smith off the bench.

When the two teams meet, everyone also wants to see who took advantage of their direct trade.

And the all-star confrontation on the lineup alone is also very exciting.

After Eddie Curry went to the Nuggets, he also said a big thing, and now when he meets the Knicks, he also wants to win the game to let outsiders see how big a mistake the Knicks made in trading him, and he is the big contributor to the team's championship.

The Nuggets' first offense was handed to him, and he also hit two points, but offensively, he did have the level, but unfortunately he didn't want to be very motivated.

Then the Nuggets entered their regular form, Iverson and Anthony's golden twin guns began to wield, Iverson felt good, even if the Nuggets were no longer the only core, they still attacked sharply, and Anthony's shooting percentage under Lehi's defense was not as average as his average.

At the beginning, he competed with James, and Lehi could only play him as a substitute, and Anthony is now also a ruthless character, and the contract renewal is also a top salary, but the comparison between Lehi and James makes people more uncomfortable.

Anthony was depressed and confused, and by now he was almost ready to accept the facts.

Under Lehi's close defense, Anthony also wanted to use jump shots to solve the problem, and when the two were still teammates, Anthony's shooting was sharper, but time has passed, and in the case of alignment, Anthony obviously plays more iron.

But the Nuggets still rose quickly, and after they brought in Eddie Curry, the team's scoring ability has been very strong, and they have filled in the shortcomings of the interior like the Knicks, but it is just an offense.

In addition to these guys, the Nuggets' Linas Creza also performed well, ambushing at the three-point line and taking advantage of his height advantage to hit a couple of shots.

With Lehi limiting Anthony, the Knicks still trailed 32:37 in the first quarter, not because they couldn't defend, but because the Nuggets offense played on the outside.

After JR Smith came on the court, he also hit a three-pointer.

But apparently, the Knicks aren't afraid to compare scoring prowess, whether it's a mainstay or a bench player.

After Crawford came on the court, he also hit two three-pointers in a row.

Just after the Nuggets' hot hand slowly normalized, the Knicks' offense was still so strong. (To be continued.) )
