Chapter 261 The Position of the Public Enemy

In addition to Pierce stealing a few from the three-point line and killing all two-pointers, Li Hai's defense put more and more pressure on him.

Now supporting the Celtics is Ray Allen and substitute Eddie House. This is a situation that no one thought of before. Pierce is very tangled in defense, and Garnett is only left with defense.

It should be said that the Knicks also had some problems with the targeted defense, but Li Hai broke out in the third quarter and took the advantage in one fell swoop.

"Don't let him shoot. Marbury and Francis' outside shots are not so accurate." During the break in the third quarter, Doug Rivers gave an opportunity.

But if it were so easy to restrict Li Hai, the Knicks would not win the championship again.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pierce stepped up his attack on the inside. After successfully drawing a foul from Li Hai, he felt that he had found his way.

But it wasn't until Camby slapped him hard that Pierce remembered that the Knicks weren't the same now.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Celtics replaced Perkins and played a small lineup in order to strengthen their offensive power.

Their small lineup worked for a while. At 3 minutes and 20 seconds, Eddie House hit a three-pointer to narrow the gap between the two sides to 4 points.

3分03秒的时候，李海却是打成2+1，把比分优势又变成了7分。

Then Marbury caused another foul, but Ray Allen missed a three-pointer.

Before the two points, he fought too hard, and it was the first month of the new season. His physical strength was relatively high, and his shooting percentage dropped a bit. However, the Knicks' impact force finally played an advantage at this time.

At 1 minute and 58 seconds, the Knicks' advantage became 11 points, and there was not much suspense in the game.

The Celtics hit another three-pointer at the last moment, but the victory still belongs to the Knicks.

尼克斯112:103战胜了对手，李海39分9篮板5助攻，完全不可阻挡。

After defeating the Celtics, the Knicks secured the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks also secured the position of the public enemy of the league.

The Celtics have also exposed their weaknesses, what should they do if they encounter a powerful star like Li Hai.

Because they also lost to the Cavaliers before they met the Knicks, James also led the team to victory with an unstoppable posture.

Of course, this has little to do with the Knicks. They just obtained a means to deal with potential opponents. If it comes to the playoffs, it may not be easy to use.

What they should care about is the problems they found, such as how to combine inside and outside when the opponent's inside defense is strong. After all, it is not enough to rely on Li Hai to show his power every time. They need to improve their tactical system.

The current interior defense is both in line with the head coach's team building concept. Relying on personal heroism is definitely not what Larry Brown wants to see.

"Listen more to the old man and do every training well. As long as you can win the game, this trouble is nothing at all. Winning is very cool, especially winning in the finals."

As the core of the team, Li Hai is also very cooperative. He works with the head coach to urge the players to make the team stronger.

Unlike last season, he has a good relationship with almost all players this season, and with his teammates from the national team, his daily training is still enjoyable.

Three consecutive championships and establishment of a dynasty is not Li Hai's wish alone. The temptation of such glory cannot be refused by players, coaches and team management. The Knicks are also in a state of extreme unity now.

On November 11, the Knicks played against the Bucks at home.

Unlike Sun Yue before, Yi Jianlian is now the main force of the Bucks, and this game has also attracted the attention of Chinese fans.

The Bucks have not changed significantly compared to last season, and they are not very competitive in the East, because their defense is really bad.

However, the Bucks started aggressively in this game, and Michael Reed made consecutive hits to make the Bucks take the lead for most of the first quarter.

But because of their defensive problems, Lehi and Marbury hit three-pointers one after another, and Randolph made another inside shot. The Knicks evened the score at the end of the first quarter.

During the rotation, the Knicks completely took advantage. After the main force came back, the Bucks didn't know how to play. Except for Michael Reid who was still scoring consecutively, the others were almost decorations.

When encountering opponents whose core team cannot drive the whole team, the Knicks' defense deliberately isolates them so that they are less threatening.

From the lead in the second quarter, the Knicks took full control of the situation, and the Bucks trailed a little bit, and by the fourth quarter, they were already behind by double digits.

At this time, the Knicks strengthened their defense against Michael Reed, and the Bucks were in chaos.

The Knicks also won 111:88. Li Hai scored 35 points. In contrast, Yi Jianlian only scored 10 points and still did not fully display his strength.

Li Hai also talked a lot with Yi Jianlian. In the NBA, he can only be satisfied if he plays well. Li Hai is now the core of the national team, and more or less helped the teammate of the national team predict this situation during the draft. Yi Jianlian also intends to Work diligently to strengthen your strength and become stronger before the Olympics.

After entering December, the Knicks' first opponent is the Suns.

This time it was the Suns who played better, and the Knicks still lost to the Suns in double figures with six players.

Stoudemire has grown again this season, and he played well in this game. In front of him, Camby seemed to be getting older and couldn't keep up with his steps.

In December, the All-Star voting also began, and the Knicks players were obviously one of the most popular groups. This time Li Hai and the others were also canvassing for Crawford.

Their behavior also aroused some people's displeasure. The Knicks are already very popular, and if they still do this, how can others play.

So the calls from the outside world to restrict fans' voting appeared again. Li Hai directly despised the calls, "The players are the ones that the fans like. As professional players, we must respect the fans."

"If it's the same as the playoffs, it's okay to count on the record. If you don't accept it, let's fight."

Li Hai's words caused a lot of talk, but the fans who liked him liked him even more, and his teammates also supported him one after another.

Of course, their energy is still focused on the regular season. The All-Star thing is just a little adjustment. The real value of the team is to win. Win the regular season, win the playoffs, and win the championship.

On December 12th, they went away to challenge the Nets.
