Chapter 255: Winning streak
At halftime, the Knicks were only 2 points away at 64-66. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
How to say it, the Nuggets who have undergone changes have stronger offensive power, but there are problems with defense, although Martin and the bench ** are not bad defensively, but after all, they are not as strong as Camby.
It's hard to say who suffers this kind of thing, Canby is old and has no offense, Iverson is not young, the Nuggets always have to gamble, if you want to talk about risks, can you risk more than the Knicks, the defending champion, it is obviously impossible, this deal is really what everyone needs.
However, now the fighting power of the two teams, obviously the Knicks are more durable, because their lineup is more reasonable, unlike the Nuggets, who are already on the wrong side.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets' scoring was shrinking again, but the Knicks were still fierce.
Anthony wanted to force Lehi to eat him a few times, but Lehi didn't give face at all, and he was also frequently struck by iron.
Even without James's heart, Anthony didn't want to lose face and began to pound the basket.
But his former teammates won't give him face, not to mention rushing in and dunking, it's not easy to even make a foul, but he makes free throws better than James, and as long as he gets a foul, he can still score.
"Carmelo, why bother, why follow LeBron's brute, we can play easier."
"Lee, your defense is getting more and more annoying, but this level of trash talk won't affect you."
"Don't be sensitive, just talk casually, it doesn't matter what trash talk is, this is my territory, you can't take away the victory."
"I still have to take away the victory, you come and try to stop it."
"Carmelo, you're thick-skinned now, as if you're taking advantage."
was stared at by Lehi, and the trash talk kept talking, and Anthony wanted to shoot Lehi to death.
By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had a one-point lead at 93:92.
Although the Nuggets are playing harder and harder, the score is still scorching, and they still have a chance to win.
Nuggets head coach George Karl was thinking so, Crawford hit another three-pointer in the rotation, and the Nuggets' bench looked like it was about to collapse, so he quickly replaced the Iverson Town court.
But this field was not calm, Iverson's efficiency also decreased, and what was even more hateful was that everyone else almost couldn't shoot, and if Iverson passed the ball out of the way, it was useless, and it was much easier to defend.
And the Knicks came up with the main force, Lehi, Marbury, Francis and Randolph were all on fire, just a few minutes of effort, and the score that was still a stalemate just now suddenly fell to double digits.
The Nuggets were completely blinded, and they couldn't win rebounds at all, and when they played against the Knicks, they found out how pitted Eddie Curry, a center who doesn't grab rebounds, was.
The Nuggets held on until the end, but it didn't make sense.
130:112, looking at the score, I can't imagine that the scores of these two teams have risen alternately in the first three quarters.
It was as if as soon as the defending champion exerted his strength, a certain pseudo-strong team knelt.
The Knicks scored 20+ points with five people, and this attack power is no longer terrifying, and the two fierce interior players grabbed 35 rebounds together, and it feels really good to crush each other on the rebound.
On Nov. 9, the Knicks, who had won three straight games, were still playing at home, this time against the Magic.
After the supersonic rebuild, Ray Allen went to the Celtics, but their other core Lewis came to Dwight Howard, an All-Star center who was getting stronger and stronger with the Magic.
So this season, the strength of the Magic has increased greatly, and it has also played a good start.
As soon as the game started, the Knicks found that Howard was really outstanding, young and strong, tall and bounced, showing an advantage from the beginning of the jump ball, and then grabbing rebounds was simply a monster.
grabbed 10 rebounds in a single quarter, beating Randolph and Camby, and at this time, the entire league can do it, and it is estimated that there will be no second one.
The kind of big and four small that Lehi admired in the national team finally took shape in the Magic team, and the Magic team was completely different from last season, and the Knicks were tied 28-28 in the first quarter.
With Howard on the Magic's inside, it's still easy to be distracted when breaking through, but it's hard to compliment other people's defenses.
On top of that, their bench doesn't have the heritage of a team like the Knicks at all.
So in the second quarter, the Knicks' advantage slowly became apparent.
In front of Lehi, Hildo-Turkoglu is completely an ATM.
He scored 10 points in the first quarter and another 10 in the second, while Howard was far less defensive in scoring and Nelson was unstable, with the Knicks leading by five points at halftime.
In the second half, the Magic also played to their advantage, with several tall shooters standing outside the three-point line, the Knicks were a little not high enough in the backcourt, and Randolph couldn't follow them outside the three-point line like Channing Frye did before, and threw them a few three-pointers at once.
In the third quarter, the Magic not only pulled the score back, but also led by one point at 77:76.
The advantage of the Knicks bench was not fully exploited, mainly because Crawford had a bad hand, but the Magic bench threw in two more threes.
When Knicks Lehi and other main players returned to the court, they also felt the pressure.
The Magic team has Howard guarding the inside, and the outside shoots three points in unison, which is really difficult to deal with when this style of play has a feel.
But they don't want to be in the hands of the Magic, or at home.
The team still has to run in and the opponent is not easy to deal with, but there is still a way to win.
"It's okay to defend the opponent's three-pointers and let them break in, we have the block king in there now, as for the offense, just leave it to me, and it will tear up their defense." Lehi said domineeringly.
It's not that he despises Turkoglou, he has only done it with James before, and Turkoglu is indeed a few levels behind.
One step, just one step, Lehi left Tekoglu behind...... The pull-up jump shot hit, and Lehi's shot was one word, steady. ”
"It's Lehi again, breaking through head-on to squeeze out of Turkoglu's shot...... Hit. ”
"The Magic should be thinking about the pinch, they have the Finals MVP in front of them...... Three points, Lehi shot directly, and after the summer, Lehi's scoring explosiveness seemed to be even stronger. ”
"Turkoglu also hit a three-pointer, but the Knicks immediately hit them with an unstable foothold, and Marbury made it 2+1."
"Time is running out, the Magic are already 10 points behind, obviously the Magic team is still ahead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the defending champion's offense is really powerful."
At the critical moment, the Magic couldn't find the final word, the Knicks continued to win 112-102, and Lehi also scored 42 points. (To be continued.) )
