Marbury seemed to be trying to fulfill what he said at halftime, the first offense was extremely firm, the 45-degree position quickly changed direction and rushed into the interior, and then made physical contact with O'Neal Jr. on the rebound, 2+1. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to Marbury, Muhammad, who has reappeared, has also hardened, O'Neal Jr. has good interior skills, but he is not as strong as O'Neal, he is not irresistible.

But the Knicks' momentum was quickly pressed down by the opponent, and the Pacers not only had O'Neal Jr., seeing that the Knicks' players had many fouls, Jamal Tinsley, Stephen Jackson, and Ron Artest were all desperately trying to break inside.

The first to be affected was Tim Thomas, who scored six clean fouls in the first six minutes of the second half.

Li Hai arrived on the court, the two sides scored the same in the third quarter, and the score was still 14 points apart, at this time the Knicks were still holding their breath, if the opponent scored a few more, the gap reached 20 points, it is estimated that this breath will be gone, and it will definitely collapse.

"Rookie, I've already beaten one, and you'll go down soon, you're already trembling." Artest received the ball and yelled for a single.

He could feel that Lehi was physically fit and tenacious, but he hadn't fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and he was happy to teach such a rookie how to behave, just like most old fritters in the NBA, which was a joy.

In the middle of the court, Lehi seemed to think about Artest's offensive methods, he is not a versatile player like Pierce, nor is he a head-covered rush in like Margety, he has his own unique rhythm, although the movements are not fast and graceful, but very useful, he is a guy with a very good basketball IQ.

But Lehi is not an ordinary rookie, he is just a little uncomfortable with the intensity and rhythm of the NBA, this time when the opponent squeezed him, he let go, Artest was not ambiguous, rushed in like a big crab, planning to shoot at close range.

He has one hand at his side, so he doesn't have to jump too high to score easily.

But at this moment, Lehi suddenly squeezed it in, jumped up and slapped the basketball in Artest's hand out of the bottom line, "I'm sorry, my hand shook a little." ”

"Rookie, you're a little interesting, don't worry, I'll make you cry and call Mom soon." There was a glint of excitement in Artest's eyes, he loved to compete with people.

Instead of letting Artest single Lehi after serving, the Pacers hoisted the ball to O'Neal Jr., who made a realistic feint and Muhammad fouled again.

Seeing that a little O'Neal can stir up trouble on the inside of the Knicks, Wilkens only felt tired, he once again asked Kurt Thomas to defend O'Neal Jr., and Muhammad didn't go down, today Crawford left the court uncomfortably, Tim Thomas committed six fouls, and there are not many cards he can use.

Marbury has now scored 20 points, and he is also heavily guarded on the court, Lehi actively ran to receive the pass, made a pass feint and suddenly swiped it inside and hit the basket, and Artest, who defended him, was not completely in place.

O'Neal Jr. came over to make up for it, and Lehi sent the ball inside and accurately delivered it to Muhammad, allowing his teammates to complete the dunk very comfortably.

Seeing Lehi's activity, Marbury also felt supported and cheered loudly.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack again, Marbury and Kurt Thomas blocked and dismantled, and the ball went to Kurt Thomas and passed to Lehi on the weak side, Lehi continued to break inside, and after hitting it, he accurately threw it into Marbury's hand, Marbury hit a three-point shot with a knife in his hand, and his hand was hot.

After making the opponent worry about his pass, Lehi hit two more mid-range shots and made another three-pointer in the final moments.

The Knicks' offense in the third quarter was played well with the cooperation of Lehi and Marbury, but at the end of the third quarter, they only recovered three points.

There are no problems in attack, but there are no small problems in defense.

Even if Lehi has a certain limit on Artest, but there is nothing he can do about O'Neal Jr., Marbury has already scored 25 points, O'Neal Jr. has scored 23 points, and Stephen Jackson, the Knicks can't limit it.

When Lehi finished the third quarter, he was already in a very delicate state, fighting too fiercely, and it was uncomfortable to stop, and he was even more panicked in his chest after taking a sip of a drink.

"I knew we were not inferior to them, we won in the third quarter, I think their physical strength is running out, they didn't have much rest in the starters, and in the fourth quarter we will definitely be able to turn the score around." Lehi subconsciously said words of encouragement.

By the time he put it all in, he had forgotten about his rookie status and only thought about winning.

"yes, we have a lot of fouls, and they have a lot of fouls, and if we can beat that guy Jermaine, they won't be able to hold it." Marbury said fiercely.

He's been on the pitch the longest, but he's still full of energy, and he's used to back-to-back.

The third quarter was not defeated, and the Knicks already had some flavor of unity.

When they came back on the field, they were a little more fierce.

In the fourth quarter, the Pacers attacked for the first time, and Jamal Tinsley took advantage of a block and a gust of wind to kill in, and Muhammad, who was sitting inside, yelled and slapped the basketball out.

Lehi was quick-eyed, picked up the dropped basketball and rushed forward.

After he rushed up, it was a 100-meter acceleration, and the defenders were immediately left behind by him, and he rushed to the basket with a ferocious tomahawk dunk.

The more tired you feel, the more you need to have the fighting spirit to ignite your blood.

At the beginning of the heart-warming game, the fighting spirit of the Knicks players instantly rose.

Muhammad desperately squeezed into position with O'Neal Jr., Artest and Lehi struggled for a while, and after receiving the ball, he pushed Lehi away and barely missed.

Kurt Thomas grabbed the rebound and handed it to Marbury, who pushed straight forward and rushed into the opponent's three-second line to make a foul.

Both free throws narrowed the gap to seven points.

In the NBA, a difference of less than 10 is not a thing, and the Knicks are more confident.

After that, O'Neal Jr. pulled out and tried a long-range shot that missed, and the Knicks managed to score two points from Lehi.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was forced to call a timeout, and the 11-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter was reduced to just five points.

The real victory or defeat is about to begin.
