Coming to Washington, the Knicks made a slight change to the lineup, starting Channing Frye, who has fully recovered from his body, as a way to maintain the height on the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Channing Frye was decent in the first two games, but was the most solid of the four rookies.

In the playoffs, no team's head coach is likely to give too many opportunities to role players, and Nate Robinson, who did well in the regular season, only gets sporadic playing time, but Channing Frye's aggressive scramble has been favored by Larry Brown, which is exactly what the Knicks need inside.

And Channing Frye can switch positions with Lehi to defend Jarred Jeffries, so that Lehi can appear at the No. 4 position at any time to fight Jamison and help defend, which is exactly what the Knicks need.

For the current situation of the Wizards, their head coach Eddie Jordan has not much to do, but to use the last resort, leaving Arenas, Jamison and Butler on the court for a long time.

Since the bench player is no match for the Knicks, he doesn't need a bench player.

At home, the Wizards' three musketeers are full of energy, and they also put a little thought into Lehi's defense, refusing to foul easily, and adopting the strategy of Butler blocking forward and the team's interior defense.

Lehi was affected by the change in defense and was really a little uncomfortable.

However, the Knicks didn't need him to play the offense, they first played Eddie Curry, and then Marbury and Francis exploded.

The two shot back-to-back, with Marbury scoring nine points and Francis scoring eight points.

The Wizards had an advantage just a few minutes before the start of the first quarter, and as soon as the Knicks' scoring kept up, the advantage the Wizards relied on offense was gone.

However, the Wizards did not play the main force when it came time to rotate players, and the seven-man rotation still gave them a certain advantage, and at the end of the first quarter, Arenas scored three points at the buzzer.

At the start of the second quarter, the Wizards led by eight points at most.

However, if they fight like this, they will definitely bury hidden dangers.

Although most teams will reduce player rotation in the playoffs, to the extent of the Wizards, it is already an excessive consumption of the physical strength of star players, not to mention a series, even if it is a single game, there will be physical problems in the fourth quarter.

Moreover, the Knicks' defense is not that easy type, Arenas has already felt it in the front, and later it was also due to physical strength that affected the shooting rate.

The Knicks didn't follow the rhythm of the other team, but their substitutions were much more cautious, and players like Lehi, who had both offense and defense, were replaced after only a two-minute break.

After playing again, Lehi's feel had adjusted.

He took the ball with his back and turned around, and after a simple tentative step, he strode out, squeezing Butler, who was defending him, to the side, and pulled up to hit a mid-range shot.

Lehi's physicality combined with a consistent mid-range shooting percentage doesn't limit his scoring.

He was the first core player for the Knicks to return to the court, and since the Wizards think they have found a way to deal with him, he has to respond.

After scoring 10 straight points, the Wizards had to pinch him.

However, at this time, he didn't need to play too many individual singles, and Lehi began to distribute the ball, and when he distributed the ball, this was the stage when the Knicks played the most team.

In the second quarter, the Knicks played very smoothly offensively, but there were a few problems on the defensive side.

Antonio Daniels, the Wizards' only offensive bench player right now, had a good touch from the outside, and his several hits also helped the Wizards end the first half with a 55-50 lead.

The Knicks will fall behind in the first half, in fact, it has little to do with the away game, the key is the play of Arenas, they can only deal with the big general, and they can't completely limit it.

'Boys, stick to the strategy of the first half and we can get the final win, we just need to do a little bit better in the details.'

I thought that Larry Brown was finally going to enthusiastically encourage the players, but I didn't expect to emphasize his theory.

However, the Knicks' players are used to it, and they don't feel uncomfortable.

Because Lehi has been doing the work of fierce teammates, and has been instilling in them the idea that they will win.

In his usual training, Li Hai actually doesn't like to talk much, but when it comes to the competition, it is different, not only does he talk more, but the modesty of the Oriental people will be completely lost.

Marbury once joked that when Lehi arrived at the game, his eyes were fierce and he wanted to swallow the opposing player.

Without waiting for the fourth quarter, the Wizards' three-core shooting percentage fluctuated strongly shortly after the start of the second half, and the Knicks took the opportunity to combine inside and outside to play steadily.

Although the Knicks also have a somewhat reduced shooting percentage due to fierce confrontations, they are much better than the Wizards, because the Knicks have offensive ability most of the time with five people on the court, while the Wizards have three, and it is obviously more difficult for the Knicks to defend.

What's more, under Lehi's strong defense, it is difficult for Jamison to get a good shot, and the situation is very embarrassing, which reduces the Wizards' originally small attack power by one more.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had rallied back from a half-half deficit.

In the final quarter, the Wizards pressed Haywood, who couldn't keep up with the rhythm, to the bench and played a small lineup, and they didn't score many points anyway, so they simply let Arenas take over the game.

The Knicks simply played a small lineup, Lehi completely went to the No. 4 position and put Crawford at the No. 3 position, not that they wanted to speed up the pace like the Wizards, it was purely because Eddie Curry was not physically strong, and since the Wizards were scummy inside, Eddie Curry did not need to hold on to it.

The Knicks got Eddie Curry to let him fight against the big inside, such as the Pistons and the Heat's inside, and in the face of the Wizards' style of play, he really didn't have Lehi to use.

Arenas is also a ruthless character, after letting him take over the game, the previous shooting rate that had been reduced has risen instead, and in the cheers of the home fans, Arenas is extraordinarily brave, maybe he was born to like this kind of big scene.

Arenas isn't very tall, but he doesn't suffer in front of the Knicks' guards, and he makes a two-step stop after getting up and down, which is really hard to stop.

Because Arenas' shooting percentage has risen, the scores of the two sides are tangled.

Lehi didn't choose to defend Arenas at this time, this lineup was unrealistic for him to go to the outside, he just broke through Butler on the offensive end, and then smashed the ball into the basket with one hand in front of Jamison. (To be continued.) )
