In the second half, Lehi unleashed a frantic scoring pattern that Gerard Wallace simply couldn't limit him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this game, he scored a game-high 29 points, and shot the Bobcats to death when the Knicks suffered a huge loss in rebounding.

Stopping the losing streak, his heart relaxed a lot.

The next day, they went to the road again to play back-to-back games against the Magic.

The NBA's schedule is so dense that even if Lehi has a lot of ideas, most of the time he doesn't have a chance to confirm it, so he can only play one game at a time.

How to adjust during the period depends on personal ability.

The Magic's Kevin Cato was injured and couldn't play, and Dwight Howard at this time couldn't support the interior line alone, and the interior line was less pressing, and the Knicks played a lot easier.

Another important thing is that Crawford is out of the game, and Lehi is the first starter.

The Magic's current starting No. 2 position has been replaced by the more offensive "old cat" Catino Mobley, and Lehi is opposite him, with a lot of advantages in height and weight.

However, at the beginning, Lehi felt that this kind of pure offensive scoring guard was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, just like Crawford, even if the defender had a physical advantage, it was still difficult to stop his shot, and Lehi also felt the difference between Mobley's quick start and left-handed attack, and was directly broken by the opponent head-on and scored a pull-up jump shot.

Unlike the defense, which was not adapted to at the beginning, Lehi had an absolute advantage on the offensive end, and after being shot by the opponent, he immediately returned to the color and hit a two-point shot against the Mobley defense.

Because the interior is slightly weaker, the Knicks are used to having a lot of shots in the two backcourts.

Now Lehi is also a member of the backfield, and he immediately got a lot more possession opportunities than before.

To be honest, Mobley's defense is not very bad, and he is good at stealing with quick hands and feet, but it is obviously not enough to deal with a forward defender of Lehi's size.

Lehi and Marbury's mid-to-long range shots, the Magic simply didn't have much to do.

The opponent's most powerful weapons were the breakaways of Francis and Grant Hill, and Howard was also very capable of making fouls on the inside, just free throws, and Mobley's side, after Lehi got used to his left-handed attack, immediately greatly limited his shooting percentage.

At 30:24, the Knicks mastered the rhythm in the first quarter.

Lehi's offensive and defensive performances at the No. 2 position speak volumes about his versatility.

When it came time to rotate, the substitutes on both sides performed remarkably, but the winner still needed the starters, and when Lehi returned to the court, the excitement of the starters had completely turned into sharpness.

At halftime, the Knicks extended their advantage to double digits.

In the second half, the Magic team came up with a desperate posture, the two teams are now about the same, and winning or losing is still related to the rankings of both sides.

Their benches Jamil Nelson and Sido Turkoglu both excelled, but Marbury and Lehi never gave each other a chance.

In the end, the Knicks won 119-111, Marbury scored 34 points, Lehi scored 30 points, and both also dished out seven assists.

"The real New York Twins", a big headline appeared in the newspaper after the game, in fact, the Knicks' performance in this game was not very good, and there were too many fouls on the interior from the main team to the bench, giving the Magic a lot of opportunities, but their scoring covered up the failure on defense.

When he went to visit Crawford, Lehi was also a little embarrassed, and the media reporters were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he insisted on writing Crawford as a cancer of the team by virtue of his excellent performance in this game.

Anyway, Crawford is definitely helpful to the team, but there is a bit of a conflict with a guard like Marbury, who was able to win the best sixth man later and has a lot to do with his style of play, which is inconsistent but has super explosive scoring.

Back at home on the 29th, the Knicks faced the visiting Timberwolves at Madison Square Garden.

Lehi has an advantage in playing the No. 2 position, he will play hard but will not shoot randomly, the number of shots is much worse than Crawford, without Crawford to come up as a tester, Marbury's condition seems to be much better.

Against the Timberwolves, the biggest problem is the inside, but shortly after the start of this game, the opponent's starting center Michael Olowokandi accidentally went off the court with an injury.

Although this guy is a parallel champion, it is also the premise that his identity is the champion, if you compare role players, he is still more reliable.

The center was injured, and the Timberwolves directly played a small lineup.

With Garnett alone, the Knicks' interior pressure has eased a lot.

Coach Wilkens completely treated Lehi as Crawford in this game, and Marbury also made a cameo appearance in the No. 1 position when he went down to rest, and Lehi surprised the team again and played remarkably.

A tactical small lineup is not the same as being forced to play a small lineup, because the Knicks put Lehi on the starter, the backcourt rotation staff became smaller, and they did not follow the opponent to play a small lineup, but I didn't expect the interior players to do something in the offense, although Garnett is powerful, he can't limit the two big men.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by three points at 69-66.

When Lehi came on the court in the fourth quarter, Sprewell said viciously, "Yellow boy, from now on, you won't be able to stop me." ”

As he spoke, Sprewell picked up his shot, intending to catch Lehi off guard.

Lehi has an advantage on the court, no trash talk can distract him, whether it is offensive or defensive, nothing attracts him more than basketball itself, so Sprewell tragedy, Lehi snapped to give him a big hat.

Sprewell, who felt that his face was dull, shouted to his teammates for the ball, and he must single Lehi to regain face.

Lehi has a knack for simple solo defense, using his physical advantage to constantly disrupt Sprewell's rhythm, as if the opponent missed several shots.

Cassel was so angry that he stopped passing the ball to Sprewell, and he and Garnett began to lead the team to chase the score.

But on the Knicks' side, Lehi and Marbury were still very stable, and the Timberwolves were forced to start fouling, and Marbury made all the free throws steadily, and the Knicks won again 100:87.

The form is very good, and Marbury is also excited, and in an interview with reporters, he declared that the Knicks can beat any opponent, he is the No. 1 point guard in the world, and his goal is always to win the championship.

This kind of assertive statement, which is common in NBA culture, is not the first person to say so, nor the last, but journalists still like to pick things and keep letting others have their say.

When asked about Lehi, he just smiled slightly, "Yes, he's the best." ”
