Chapter 209 Fighting Pistons
尼克斯107:96战胜了爵士队，李海这场比赛砍下41分20个篮板的大两双，外加7次助攻和4次抢断，完全非人类的表现。

And this battle also caused the Jazz to fall from the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference.

Some media posted an article saying that the Knicks gave Western teams a model for dealing with the Jazz that has suddenly emerged this season. The Jazz is just a low-profile version of the Knicks.

On the 20th, the Knicks ushered in the Bobcats at home.

The Bobcats are still not improving, even if Gerald Wallace has become better, that's all, and Emeka Okafor, who had been the Knicks before, felt affected by injuries. They are not as good as they were in college. Although the rebounding and defense are not bad, they are somewhat lower than the expectations of the outside world.

Eddie Curry, who was put on the bench by the coach in the last game, became fierce in this game. He caused various fouls in the first quarter, and Channing Fryley was unable to defend against Okafor, and kept jumping outside. Scoring makes the defense that Okafor is good at become very embarrassing.

The two teams played fiercely in the first half. Bobcats No. [-] pick Adam Morrison also played superb shooting skills and overwhelmed Crawford in the rotation.

But when the Knicks stepped up their defense in the second half, the Bobcats didn't know how to play, especially after their boss Gerald Wallace was stared to death by Li Hai, they couldn't score.

In the second half, the Knicks only scored 30 points in two quarters, making their little boss Jordan want to go into battle in person, and the Knicks also beat their opponents 114:90.

In this game, the Knicks scored in double figures again with seven players. In the case of a very good defense, they also contributed to a hearty offense.

On the 22nd, the Knicks continued to sit at home, and it was the Bulls who came to challenge them.

After the run-in in November, the Bulls' record has begun to stabilize, but because the Pistons and Cavaliers in the same area are relatively strong, they still rank fifth in the Eastern Conference.

It's just that they spent a lot of money betting on Ben Wallace, but they didn't achieve the expected results.

The Bulls have insiders, defenses, and substitutes. In terms of configuration, they belong to a team that the Knicks would be afraid of. In fact, it is a bit embarrassing. That is, Eddie Curry has weight and is not afraid of a short center, so it is a tragedy for the Bulls to meet the Knicks. the taste of.

Both sides were tepid at the beginning of the game, but when the rotation came, Ben Gordon and Crawford had a scoring battle. Both of them were strong offensively and weak defensively. One scored 14 points and the other scored 16 points. The limelight has overshadowed the main players.

However, the Bulls' main lineup is somewhat restrained by the Knicks. Even if Ben Gordon scores crazy points on the bench, this disadvantage cannot be changed.

Moreover, in terms of rebound protection, Eddie Curry is still the same, while Channing Frye and David Lee are fierce grabs, and Li Hai also allows them to maintain an advantage in rebounding. .

By the third quarter, the Bulls couldn't resist.

最后尼克斯105:90轻取对手，李海25分12个篮板外加6次助攻，表现依旧十分稳定。

The next day they played back-to-back away games against the 76ers, but the Knicks unexpectedly lost to the 76ers without Iverson.

A few days ago, a big deal happened in the league. The 76ers went to the Nuggets and Anthony formed the "Golden Two Guns."

On the eve of the trade, Anthony happened to be in the top two of the scoring list with Iverson in a few games. The combination of the two so-called strongest scorers also attracted countless attention. They claimed to change the situation in the Western Conference. Li Hai, who knew the result, could only be felt regret.

This is something to say, at least now it seems that the two teams are not bad, the Nuggets are full of offensive power, and the 76ers have Andre Miller's organization, which is also more blooming, not to mention the little AI Andre Iguodala Both offensive and defensive, it seems very worthwhile to cultivate.

The Knicks are loaded because of this, and back-to-back does have some influence, and even Li Hai is a lot stronger.

On December 12, the Knicks returned to home against the Pistons, and this was the end of their comfortable schedule, and then they had a five-game trip to the West.

The Knicks and the Pistons have grievances, and the Pistons are the only ones that can threaten the Knicks in terms of record.

Although the Pistons did not have a dozen consecutive victories, they also won more than they lost, only two games behind the Knicks.

Based on the degree of understanding between the two parties, there was no tentative talk, and it was just a matter of doing it.

Eddie Curry played Nazr Mohammed with ease, making the Knicks' outside offense relatively easier, but the Pistons still had Richard Hamilton running and scoring, and the two sides were inseparable.

The defense of the two teams is good, but they often can't defend each other when they fight together, because they are too familiar.

In the rotation time of the first half, Crawford didn't feel very good. On the contrary, Carlos Delfino of the Pistons felt good and overwhelmed the Knicks.

But when the main lineup came on the field, Li Hai and Marbury each hit two three-pointers, and with the performance of both doubles and single quarters, they abruptly caught up with a score that was almost 10 points behind. At halftime, it was 61: 60 led by 1 point.

During the halftime break, the Knicks also analyzed the reasons why the Pistons scored so many points. After the analysis, it was a bit helpless. Hamilton felt hot and scored 20 points at halftime.

When Hamilton feels good, it's really hard to defend, because he runs off the ball and shoots after receiving the ball. The Pistons' off-ball screens are very good, even if Li Hai goes to defend, it can't change the situation.

In the NBA, no matter how good the defense is, it can't prevent the hand feeling from bursting. There are still advantages in the offensive end of basketball games.

In the third quarter, Hamilton's shooting rate was even more terrifying. It was almost a hundred shots. Fortunately, the Knicks' defense was not a display. They defended the other teams of the Pistons to death.

In addition, the Knicks' offense, Lehi, Marbury, and Francis' offensive firepower are all stable, and Channing Frye and Eddie Curry can also complete their offensive tasks, which is completely different from the Pistons' Hamilton. .

The scores of the two sides are tightly locked, it depends on who can't hold on first.

Logically speaking, the Knicks are all in normal condition and should last longer than the Pistons Hamilton alone, but in the basketball game, no one can say for sure.

Hamilton scored 16 points in the third quarter, but fortunately the Knicks withstood it.

In the rotation, Delfino and McDyess showed off one after another, but fortunately, Crawford's touch finally came back.

In the last quarter, the competition between the two sides became more intense. If you score a goal, I will definitely score a goal. If you don’t score, you don’t score. It’s completely hard to see who will win.

But the one who has the last laugh still has to do those two words, persevere.
