Chapter 141: Crooked Strike
Lehi hit both free throws, and the Nets didn't have a timeout at this time, Carter drove the ball directly in the backcourt and forced a three-point shot before the time was up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the interference of Lehi and Francis, Carter's shot missed, and the game ended.
94:91, Li Hai had 18 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds, and was still the most comprehensive one.
Francis' New York debut, 16 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds was not bad, and Li Haiqian smiled: "Welcome to the Knicks again, here we will win a lot of games together." ”
Lehi spoke beautifully, but the next day they played back-to-back away games, and they fell in love.
Arenas of the Wizards turned on the fury mode, scoring 23 points in the first quarter and 46 points in the third quarter, directly turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.
This season, it is the first time that the Knicks have experienced this embarrassment, and it can only be said that there is no way to meet it.
After returning to New York, Lehi saw that Francis was not in a good mood and encouraged Marbury to take Francis to train with him.
Marbury was puzzled, "Why are you so concerned about Steve, I don't think his training habits are very good, don't expect too much from him." ”
"I'm doing this for your good, it's hard to trade a player in the No. 1 position, you can't coax it well, as long as he plays in shape, the old man won't be relieved to let you play the scoring guard." Lehi is colorful.
Marbury did think the same way, but he was not used to asking him to do this kind of thing deliberately.
Lehi persuaded again: "You are the boss of the team, you are responsible for mixing the players in the team, and sometimes you should do something deliberately, I think not only should you pull Steve to train well, but you also have to urge Eddie's guy to lose some fat, and everyone else is fine." ”
Marbury's face changed, "You're here to let me do something hypocritical...... I did think about it, did you treat me like this, no wonder you often come to my house to eat. ”
"It's so sad, we're friends...... Moreover, when I first came to the team, you said that you were going to cover me, and if you were hypocritical, it would be you. Lehi was indignant, but his heart was a little empty.
However, although he had some purposes at the beginning, the two really became friends after contact, including Marbury's father, and the relationship became very good, otherwise with his character, he would not often visit other people's homes.
Seeing that Lehi's expression changed slightly, Marbury laughed, obviously joking.
The two of them had a detailed discussion about how the team should develop, and the two of them were the hardest working Knicks trained, and there were more than one such exchanges.
As the core players of the Knicks, if both of them agree on certain opinions, they can definitely influence the team management.
On February 27, the Knicks took on the Western Conference team Spurs away.
Lehi was a little nervous about playing spurs, not because of the strength of spurs, but because of his vague memories from another time and space.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the Knicks, but he vaguely remembered that Francis was seriously injured in the game against the Spurs after transferring to the Knicks, and he has since faded out of the NBA.
It's because he doesn't remember very well, so he doesn't know which game it is, logically speaking, it won't be this one, and it can't be reimbursed as soon as he arrives at the Knicks, but he's really worried.
Lehi is not the kind of player who does things on a salary and doesn't care about his record, and after coming to the Knicks, he broke his heart about the team's record.
After the Lakers OK team disbanded, the league has been in a state of chaos, and it is the best time to make a difference, and Lehi does not want the team to be weakened.
He can't stop what he doesn't know, but he must find a way to avoid what he knows.
Don't face the game first, the Spurs' GDP combination, Duncan is still stable, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are getting stronger.
The Knicks were at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game, unable to stop Duncan on the inside, and unable to keep up with Parker on the outside, although head coach Larry Brown has been emphasizing tactical execution, but only when he met the Spurs did he know what tactical execution was all about, and the Knicks may never be able to do that.
At the beginning of the second quarter, while Lehi was still resting below, Spurs bench player Michael Finley hit two three-pointers in a row to widen the gap between the two sides to double digits.
The main rotation was slightly different, Francis was replaced relatively early, and by this time he was back on the court, and he broke through and was directly knocked to the ground by Bruce Bowen.
Lehi happened to be near the center circle and was about to play, he remembered that Francis was injured by Bruce Bowen in another plane, and Lehi didn't think about it when he was already worried, and rushed into the field and pushed Bowen down.
The Spurs players immediately rushed over, and the Knicks players reacted in the same way, seeing that there might be a conflict, the referee rushed in to separate the two teams, and directly ejected Lehi from the game with a technical foul.
Originally, the two sides were restrained immediately after the conflict, but a technical foul was enough, but Li Hai had not been substituted yet, and the situation was more serious when he rushed to the court like this.
So Lehi's mind was clouded, and the situation of being expelled from the field for the first time in his life happened like this.
Because of this accident, the Knicks have been pressed by the Spurs and have not turned over.
In the lounge, Lehi was sober, think about it carefully, Francis was abolished by Bowen probably won't happen in this time and space, because when the Knicks played against the Spurs, Bowen has always been on the defensive himself, and just now Bowen was actually just replaced on the court, and that time can only be regarded as an assistant defense.
Francis's fall to the ground was actually a protective move, and it was mainly Lehi's crankiness.
In an interview with reporters afterwards, the Knicks players and coaches were on Lehi's side, and kept saying that it was mainly Bowen who deliberately fouled, otherwise how could someone with such a good personality be so angry.
As for Lehi's character, because no one deliberately dwelled on Bowen's notoriety, the alliance did not hunt down and punish Lehi.
However, Francis, one of the parties involved, felt very strange, and Lehi could only stubbornly say, "Boss Fergus, I'm really your fan, I watched you and Yao Ming live in college, you can't get hurt, we still have to win the playoffs together." ”
Francis was moved when he heard it, he didn't doubt the authenticity at all, because of Yao Ming's relationship, he does have a lot of such fans, but if the fans themselves are also All-Star players in the league, the meaning is completely different, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment, and he can't wait to play a better game immediately to make the fans who worship him happy.
