Chapter 215: Victory and Hidden Danger

In the second half, the Trail Blazers, who saw the Knicks resolutely wrapping Randolph, gradually put the offensive focus on the outside, which happened to fall into the Knicks' trap. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Roy is still relatively immature, and the Trail Blazers' outside offense with a rookie as the core is unlikely to beat the defending champion with terrifying outside strength.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had led by about 20 points, turning the final quarter of the game into garbage time.

After three straight wins on the road, the Knicks are on their final stop in the West on a five-game road streak with the SuperSonics.

The SuperSonics have been inexplicably sinking since last season, and this season is the same, with Ray Allen, Lewis and other scoring players but no achievements, and the defense is even worse to a certain extent.

If the offense depends on ability, the defense depends more on attitude, and the supersonic team is rotten.

The SuperSonics don't have an orthodox center, and the lack of height is exactly when Eddie Curry is powerful, and he starts the game on the inside, and the SuperSonics can't stop it.

Eddie Curry's situation was the most terrifying time for the Knicks' offense, and the inside and outside line blossomed, and the Knicks won the opponent by nearly 20 points in the first quarter.

Their top scorer, Ray Allen, was also a bit irony in this game, and by the second quarter of the game, the gap between the two sides widened further, and the supersonic who had no intention of fighting quickly gave up the game and sent a pure bench lineup.

The Knicks defeated their opponents 118-85 in the end, and Lehi scored a 28+10+10 triple-double before clocking out in the third quarter, and they were like fighting middle school students without encountering a little resistance.

Back at home, their first opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers.

After the 76ers traded former core Iverson, they became a multi-point flowering team, in a way, a bit like a weakened version of the Knicks.

The Knicks lost to them last time, but this time the team was well prepared.

The weakened version is more of a weakened version, the Knicks score more because there are indeed more offensive players, while the 76ers have more blossoms because they don't have absolute offensive strengths.

Thinking about revenge, the Knicks opened the game with high intensity, defensively working extremely hard, while the offensive end blossomed inside and out, leading by 15 points at 35:20 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, they continued to extend their lead from the time of the rotation, and again led by 20 points at halftime.

The 76ers also have a lot of players who have scored points, but they have scored relatively little.

In the second half, the 76ers took advantage of Eddie Curry's declining physical strength to score some points on the inside, and they were about to narrow the gap in the score.

So the fourth quarter turned into garbage time again, and in the end, both sides scored six double-doubles, but the score gap was not small, and the Knicks won 116-89.

Just when the Knicks were about to think about it, they lost unexpectedly two days later.

At home against the Bobcats, Emeka Okafor broke out, with 10 blocks and an alternate triple-double, and he led the team's offense with defense, and the Knicks fought hard in the fourth quarter, and Lehi scored 40 points to become the back.

The defeat in this match also reminded them that no opponent should be underestimated.

There is also the problem of the inside, the opponent has 10 blocks, and Eddie Curry has none.

After the game, Lehi also wanted to talk to Eddie Curry, but Eddie Curry was resistant, thinking that Lehi intended to put the blame for the defeat on him.

'You have to be strict with yourself, Eddie, we are the defending champions and we have to be better done by other teams.' When it comes to the end, Lehi is also a little angry.

Eddie Curry stalked his neck, "I thought I did what I had to do, I gave the team an interior offense, didn't I, the team should find a defensive interior partner for me." ā€

"You need to do better, and you have to do it."

In the end, the two also parted unhappily.

In fact, Eddie Curry is still a little afraid of Lehi, but he also has his own plans, and now in the All-Star vote, Lehi and others are leading all the way, and Eddie Curry feels that he deserves more respect as a champion center.

There are always some people who only want to get and don't want to give so much.

On the 15th, the Knicks played the Kings again at home, and this time Artest didn't have the same touch as before, and the Knicks' victory came easier.

Although Kevin Martin hit five three-pointers and scored 30 points to no avail, the Knicks still won the game 110-90.

On January 17, the Knicks went to the road to challenge the Wizards, which was another big battle.

The intensity of the game can be expected in many situations, some teams are not very eager to win, even when the score is close, and some teams are different.

The Wizards have always wanted to beat the Knicks, at least Arenas is very hungry.

In this game, they started with a good match, the team blossomed more, but Arenas got a chance, which made the Knicks a little unexpected, in the first quarter they fell behind almost by double digits, and in the second half of the game, Lehi made several successful singles to close the score.

Their bench, Jarvis Hayes, played efficiently in the second quarter, scoring 11 points in the first quarter, just in time to meet Crawford's cold hand, and the score was pulled away again.

And Lehi once again scored 10+ in a single quarter, so that at the end of the half, the score gap between the two sides was only 3 points.

This situation is also related to the Wizards' defensive strategy today, Butler will definitely play Lehi with the Wizards before, but this time the defense is not so active.

It's not that the Wizards have given up, it's that they've changed their strategy, and Butler has focused more on offense, not only scoring, but also constantly assisting his teammates.

However, in the second half, the Knicks saw through the opponent's plan, and they took advantage of the fact that the Knicks still focused on Arenas and let other teams go to attack.

But the Wizards came and went with those three people, and the Knicks were all staring at them, no matter how the other party came, they couldn't escape from this range.

So by the third quarter, Lehi was sticking tighter to Butler.

Seeing that the Knicks saw through their strategy, they wanted Arenas to explode and score immediately, but the outbreak of this kind of thing is not to explode if you want to, and after attracting firepower at halftime, Arenas shot and hit the iron continuously.

The Knicks took the opportunity to launch a wave of offensive attacks by Lehi and overtook the score.

In the fourth quarter, Arenas couldn't hold back anymore and began to shoot wildly, but the shooting percentage was never very high, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to harvest this wave.

At the last moment, Arenas was also depressed, unwilling to give up, and kept attacking the basket, but it was useless, and the Knicks were no longer a team that could be defeated by some small means. (To be continued.) )
