In the final minutes, James hit two three-pointers in a row to help the Cavaliers close the score. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Lehi immediately returned the favor, albeit only on a two-pointer, but it helped the Knicks maintain the lead.

Time was running out, and James had no choice but to bet all on the three-pointer, but unfortunately he never hit the two shots again, and the Knicks won an important victory 95-89.

By the end of the game, Lehi realized that the coach hadn't let Marbury play in the final quarter.

I thought Marbury would lose his temper, but in the end, he just said with some fatigue that it would be good to win, and he could feel that Marbury was tired.

On April 16, the Knicks played Charlotte Bobcats away.

Bobcats center Primoz Blazek is out with an injury, but just one rookie Emeka Okafor is enough for the Knicks inside.

The Bobcats have already decided that they will be able to easily play against the playoffs, but the Knicks cannot afford to lose a game.

As soon as the game began, Lehi scored on a mid-range shot in front of Bobcats defensive stalwart Gerald Wallace to give the Knicks a good start.

Truth be told, the Bobcats are more tenacious than expected, and with Gerard Wallace being so diligent defensively and incredibly aggressive in grabbing rebounds, it's hard to imagine a team without playoff hope.

Lehi was also brought up and fought with all his might.

As in the previous game, the Knicks adopted a strategy of shrinking defense.

The same defensive strategy also worked wonders for the Bobcats, the opponent's outside shooting ability was indeed not as good as the Knicks, although the substitute Jason Cappano made the Knicks break out in a cold sweat, but after letting people close to the defense, it immediately had an effect.

Lehi and Gerard Wallace battled until the last minute, and a late three-pointer helped seal the victory, and the Knicks won three in a row.

The two high-profile rookies in this match, Emeka Okafor's play lacked performance compared to Lehi, and the supporters of Okafor on the Rookie of the Year had nothing to say in front of the performance of the two.

On April 17, the Knicks were in trouble with the Hawks, who were already working hard to develop new talents.

Josh Smith showed brutality from the start, allowing Kurt Thomas to get two fouls and go off the court quickly, making the Knicks' already weak interior line suddenly in a hurry.

And the Hawks also sacrificed a strange lineup, starting three inside, bench three inside, although they are not top-level inside, but the height is there, even if the Knicks shrink the defense, it is very difficult.

In addition to Josh Smith, Buris Dio, who also has a large attack range and can hold the ball, also performed well, causing fouls on the Knicks' interior one after another.

After hitting the Knicks' inside, the Hawks squeezed four players over 2 meters on the inside, including tall guards like Josh Childres, only Tyronn Lue floated outside, but Tyronn Lue felt exceptionally good in this game, and when the Knicks players were entangled with the Hawks' big man here, Tyronn Lue would take the opportunity to hit a long shot.

The Hawks' style of play led to the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks' main No. 4 and No. 5 positions Tim Thomas and Kurt Thomas were all sent off, the bench interior Michael Svetney was also sent off, and Morris Taylor, who was already poor in defense, also fouled four times, and the Knicks really had no one inside.

To be precise, after the three penalties, the Knicks didn't have enough people to play.

They still had a three-point lead in the final seconds, but in the end, Tyronn Lue's three-pointer sent the game into overtime.

This game is the home court of the Knicks, and there is some hope just now that they have won three in a row, and everyone who is on the court in this game is desperate.

But the Hawks just seized on the Knicks' interior problems to bomb, and they really seemed helpless.

Lehi sometimes really wanted to split into two, and Marbury's defense really left Lehi speechless a lot if he couldn't have let Tyronn Lue shoot the last shot.

The game is already going to be overtime, and it is useless to say more at this time.

Li Hai said with a firm gaze: "Let me play the inside line, I have had the experience of playing the inside line." ”

Coach Williams had no choice but to let Lehi go inside to deal with Josh Smith.

The opposing Eagles were also a little troubled, and their big men played well in this game, but the overtime was different from the first four quarters, and there was no room for mistakes.

Their head coach, Mike Woodson, felt that it was both necessary to maintain the advantage on the inside and the flexibility of the attack, so he sent on two of the best interior players of the game, Josh Smith and Burrece Dior, giving up a slight height advantage.

But even so, it's already better than the Knicks, who have no one on the inside.

Morris Taylor lost to Josh Smith on a jump ball, and seeing Knicks Lehi go inside, the Hawks hoisted the ball to Josh Smith for a single.

The two barely formally faced each other before, with Josh Smith holding the ball head-on and eating directly with power and height.

But after two tops, it was found that Lehi was not pushed away, Josh Smith pulled up the shot, and Lehi also jumped high at the same time, and his outstretched arm almost blocked the opponent's shooting line.

Josh Smith hit the iron, and Lehi turned around to protect the rebound.

He hit the ball straight and rushed quickly, and Josh Smith was left behind by Lehi after only two steps, and the last barrier to get to the basket early to stop Lehi was Josh Childres.

Josh Childis is also a tall and long-arm swingman, but when Lehi jumps up and rushes to the basket, Josh Childis is completely stunned and watches Lehi complete the dunk.

His feeling at the time was that if he blocked it, it would definitely be 2+1.

Coming back, Tyronn Lue hit another three-pointer, and Marbury yelled in frustration, but it didn't work in the slightest.

When the Knicks attacked again, Lehi desperately ran out to catch the ball, broke through Josh Smith's defense again, attracted Dior's supplementary defense and distributed it to Morris Taylor to complete the shot.

The Hawks still didn't believe that Lehi could defend against the physically strong Josh Smith, and Josh Smith wanted to try to hit the back after receiving the ball, but immediately found that Lehi was really strong, and he lifted the ball high and passed it out from the top of Lehi's head to Dior, who spun around and got rid of the defense and returned to the basket.

Dio stood on tiptoe to score a completely easy layup, but didn't notice that Lehi had already lunged over.

With a sturdy cap, Lehi slammed the ball on the rebound and bounced it out.

Crawford picked up the rebound and also rushed quickly, hitting a direct shot.

With a 3-point advantage, the Knicks once again took the initiative into their own hands.
