Chapter 131: Normal Play is Powerful
In addition to Ben Gordon, the Bulls are still stable, scoring, assists, and steals are all above the level, and it is precisely because of his presence that Ben Gordon only needs to concentrate on scoring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the Bulls only played well on two of them, and Lore Deng didn't show much in front of Lehi, probably because he experienced injuries in his rookie season, and Lore Deng didn't feel much better for Lehi than he did in college.
And Lehi is already much stronger than when he was in college.
In the third quarter of the game, the main focus of both sides was on defense, and at 64:64, the two sides continued to tie.
At the most critical moment, Eddie Curry was fouled by Ben Gordon again and could only sit off the court in advance, and Lehi felt a lot of pressure.
In order to bite the score, he and Crawford were the players who spent the most time on the field of both teams, and there was almost no break, but at this time Lehi did not feel fatigue and he had to make a choice.
The opposing Lore Deng offense was limited by him, but the defense was still conscientious, and he kept using his height to interfere with Lehi, and at the same time there were no fouls, if you want to talk about ball intelligence, Lore Deng is still good.
By this time, Lehi would have to be tougher as well.
He came to the three-point line to catch the ball, Lore Deng is taller than him, and the power is not bad, and the advantage is not so obvious when playing in the low post, he has to use his speed.
Channing Frye stepped forward to cover, Lehi made a move to bypass, but suddenly changed direction, and squeezed past Lore Deng, and then Tyson Chandler immediately made up, although Tyson Chandler is now playing as a substitute, but in terms of interior defense, there is no doubt that the Bulls are the best, and he has already capped Lehi before.
Lehi was still undaunted, continued to accelerate, leaning his body completely on Chandler, Chandler was too late to retreat, and with Lehi he could only jump, and then the whistle sounded.
Lehi's foul making is entirely based on speed and strength, which is a very expensive style of play, but he has to do it now, and if Chandler is left on the court, the interior line that is stronger than the offense can be troublesome, and several backcourt breakthroughs of the Knicks will be affected.
In addition to the Knicks' mid-to-long-range shooting, breaking through is also a conventional means, but they do not have the height of Li Hai and are most susceptible to the influence of the opposing player's good defense, which is why it is also difficult for the Knicks to play a team with a similar interior but not a good record, which is the so-called restraint of technical characteristics.
After Lehi threw himself to Chandler twice, he finally caused two fouls and the Bulls had to make adjustments.
After the two teams posed the biggest threat to each other, it showed that the Knicks suffered a loss, after all, Eddie Curry was the main player of the Knicks, but in fact, it was the Bulls who were more affected.
Both sides have shortened their interior heights, but Knicks Channing Frye and David Lee are more dynamic and have better rebounding than the opposition.
The most critical problem for the Knicks now is Ben Gordon, when Lehi relied on huge consumption to stand on the free throw line to score points, Ben Gordon easily hit the shot.
Fortunately, Ben Gordon's defense was not good, and the score between the two sides was still deadlocked.
In the final minutes, the Knicks replaced David Lee with Antonio Davis, who played well in the game, to continue their rebounding advantage.
Lehi wanted to change the defense of Ben Gordon several times, but in the end he held back, Ben Gordon is now feeling convulsive, and the effect of his defense will not be obvious, but Lore Deng will have an advantage against others, and the team will play him as the first core in this game, and he must be calm.
"Stay with him, compress his shooting space, and never think about being able to steal." Lehi kept admonishing Nate Robinson.
At this time, as long as you successfully defend a few times, you will be able to take the advantage.
However, in the face of Ben Gordon, who is on fire, Nate Robinson is still a little more than enough.
In the final moments, Ben Gordon hit three consecutive shots to put the Knicks up 90-92.
After the Knicks took a timeout, Lehi missed a jump shot with the ball, allowing the team to stand on the edge of the cliff, and he should have hit the ball, but I don't know if it was because he broke too much and lost his rhythm or because of the pressure, so he shot a little lighter.
With only twenty seconds left, the Bulls will have very little time left after they finish a full offense.
The Knicks did not foul early, and the team's requirements for defense are to be able to clean up the opponent's offense at critical moments.
Coke Hinrich controlled the tempo for a bit and then handed the ball back to Ben Gordon.
Ben Gordon dribbled twice and rushed inside with the ball, again with the same pull-up jumper.
Ben Gordon is full of confidence, he was the heart of the Bulls as a rookie, and he was the best at shooting in the final moments, and when he habitually looked at the basket, a tall figure blocked his vision.
Lehi saw Ben Gordon's eyes and knew that Ben Gordon would never pass this ball.
He can't defend Ben Gordon, but it's not that he can't help.
At this last moment, Lehi swooped down, leaping high without anyone else noticing, a large clean hat.
Nate Robinson took the fanned basketball, pushed two steps forward and passed to Lehi.
The Bulls retreated quickly, they are now leading, and they were ready to retreat the moment Ben Gordon burst in, and when Lehi went to the opponent's half, Lore Deng had already posted it, and Lehi's three-point ability was known to everyone, and he would definitely not let him shoot three-pointers at this time.
As the clock ticked by, Lehi suddenly started to accelerate again, squeezing past Lore Deng in one step and shooting again before the Bulls' interior players could make up for it.
This time he didn't think about anything in his head, and all he could see was the basket.
Hit, 92:92 draw, with only 1.5 seconds left.
The Bulls' last tactic after the timeout was to look for Ben Gordon, and Lehi squeezed directly past Lore Deng's side, reaching out and stabbing the basketball into the opposing half.
A simple steal, but unfortunately the game time has run out, and the two sides went into overtime.
In the end, he focused all his energy purely on basketball, and Lehi's excellent offense and defense made him extraordinarily sober.
Whether it's pressure or opportunity, it doesn't matter, he doesn't need to do anything deliberately, as long as he shows the strength to pursue victory as usual, it is the best choice.
After entering overtime, Li Hai, who was in a different mood, took the lead in scoring and put the team in an advantageous position, but at this time there was an unexpected thing. (To be continued.) )
