Chapter 130 Lineup Depth
Li Hai, who became excited, completely suppressed Szczerbiak, and the score between the two sides was shortened in an instant.
The Timberwolves put their minds to one side, and simply let Szczerbiak go to the power forward position, playing a small lineup.
At this time, the Knicks left Channing Frye on the court to further increase their height advantage.
The rebounds that were originally at a disadvantage now have an advantage at this time, and there is no problem with Channing Frye's movement speed.
Li Hai's response to the Timberwolves' behavior of actively weakening the inside advantage was to come to the low post and play back. Seeing that no player could resist Li Hai, the Timberwolves had to attack.
At the moment when the attack came, Li Hai passed the ball out of his hand, and Nate Robinson ambushed outside the three-point line to catch the ball and make a decisive hit.
This is the advantage of an attacking guard. It is not easy to twitch when you want to shoot.
In a sense, when Li Hai holds the ball, there are Crawford and Nate Robinson outside, which is more effective than Marbury ambush outside.
This goal also allowed the Knicks to overtake by 1 point.
Seeing the loss of the lead, Garnett became a little anxious, cursed and started asking for the ball.
But at this time, the Knicks will definitely not give Garnett a chance to make an easy shot. He catches the ball and the Knicks are flanking. Unless the wolf king is going to make a mid-range shot at this time, Li Hai and others don't mind comparing their shooting percentages with their opponents.
Garnett had no chance of being flanked, so he had to pass the ball to the outside. He is tall and has long arms, so it is difficult for ordinary people to interfere with picking up the ball and passing it to the outside.
Li Hai was on the sidelines and had already made preparations. Just as Garnett bent his arm to throw the ball to an open teammate, Li Hai jumped up and slammed the basketball in the opponent's hand.
Nate Robinson picked up the ball quickly and arrived at the Timberwolves' half court with quick eyes and hands, and scored a layup directly.
Nixon immediately led by 3 points, and with less than 3 minutes remaining, the Timberwolves quickly called a timeout to make arrangements.
By this time, the momentum of the Knicks had already been revealed, and the home audience cheered loudly, which relieved the fatigue of the players a lot.
The Timberwolves set up a singles tactic for Garnett, giving him a chance to shoot from a mid-range range. Unfortunately, Garnett hadn't made a mid-range shot until the fourth quarter began to focus on his defense.
No one interfered with this CIC, but Garnett hit the iron.
Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Li Hai asked his teammates for the ball to control the rhythm, then passed the ball to Crawford, and he came to the low post to ask for the ball again.
This time he had just received the ball, and the Timberwolves rushed over again. Li Hai seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he threw a backhand. On the other side, Channing Frye received the ball and made a mid-range shot. 5 points.
The Timberwolves seemed to have no choice at this time, and continued to give the ball to Garnett, but Garnett had difficulty finding a shot. After several attempts, Garnett caused a foul by Channing Frye and stood up. free throw line.
One of two free throws may have been because he fought too hard before. Garnett felt far less hot than in the first half at this time.
The opponent didn't seize the opportunity, but Li Hai was unceremonious. After passing two balls, the Timberwolves' attack on him was not as firm as before. Li Hai immediately turned to the direction of the basket, hit a cricket and scored, and the time came. In the last minute, the gap came to 1 points.
After another timeout, the Timberwolves still missed, and the suspense of this game suddenly became much smaller.
At the last moment, Garnett assisted the outside players to complete the three-pointer, but it was already harmless. The Knicks won the game 100:96. Li Hai still maintained a strong performance with 25 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds.
With the victory of this battle, the Knicks are second only to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference and rank second in record.
Marbury's injury is still a little troublesome. It is estimated that he will be sidelined for a few weeks. Crawford will replace him as the starting No. 1.
If the main point guard was injured last season, the team will probably be in trouble, but this season they will not be unattended, and they have enough combat power, which is also an important reason why the Knicks' record is better than last season.
On November 11, the Knicks went to an away game to challenge the Bulls.
The Bulls had a poor record some time ago and made major adjustments to the main lineup. Chris Duhon, Andres Nocioni and Tyson Chandler were all pushed to the bench. -Gordon and Luol Deng entered the starting list.
Marbury's truce will be a test for Li Hai's organizational ability. After all, Crawford is not a point guard, and Nate Robinson can become a shooting guard regardless of whether he is partnered with Marbury or Crawford. god man.
It is precisely because of this that the media who were still accusing Marbury of poor organizational skills before are now saying that without Marbury's organization, the Knicks must be in a quagmire.
Therefore, if you lack fighting spirit, you can go online. There are various doubts on it, which can stimulate the player's adrenal glands to rise.
The game started with the Knicks taking the lead in scoring, but quickly entered the rhythm of the Bulls.
It has nothing to do with the lack of a point guard, but Ben Gordon entered a violent scoring mode at the beginning. Although he has always been like this, it is really uncomfortable to become a starter.
Li Hai wants to defend against Luol Deng. The Knicks' two players in the backcourt, Nate Robinson and Crawford, are the same against Ben Gordon. Except for Li Hai, most of the Knicks' players are It is a representative of strong offense and weak defense. If it weren't for Larry Brown chasing and scolding every day, the Knicks would probably become like the Supersonics, scoring more and losing more.
Li Hai tried his best to distribute the possession of the ball well, so that the players could flourish more, but after one quarter, the Knicks were behind. Fortunately, they were only behind by 3 points, and there were no major mistakes.
After Crawford became the starter, Quentin Richardson became the team's sixth man. Originally, the Knicks trained Quentin Richardson as the main force. Unexpectedly, he was not acclimatized and his performance was only average. , After experiencing injuries, he was squeezed out of the starting position by the rookie Nate Robinson.
It is estimated that he is also very unwilling, and he has also tried his best to perform in the recent period.
In the rotation stage, the Knicks are not at a disadvantage. Apart from Richardson, Channing Frye has more stable firepower, and the Bulls have less firepower as a substitute after Ben Gordon starts.
Li Hai has gradually adapted to the current situation. In fact, the Knicks' style of play is not much different from Marbury in many cases. It's just that Marbury is better than other guards in the team when they need to attack.
After halftime, Li Hai grabbed an offensive rebound and made a beautiful 2+1, helping the team tie the score.
