Chapter 262 Different
Teams in the league always retreat if they do not advance in strength. Some teams that do not actively seek changes cannot even stand still. This is the current situation of the Nets.

Kidd and Carter are getting older year by year, and the so-called Three Musketeers are gradually becoming famous.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' offense was smooth and smooth, from the inside to the outside.

The Nets put most of their forces on the outside, but their strongest scorer is now Jefferson, and Jefferson's characteristics are restrained by Li Hai, which is a bit embarrassing.

Of course, Carter is still a first-class player. Although his strength has slowly declined, when the Nets adjust their offensive focus, the Knicks have firmly grasped the lead.

The Nets' Kostic didn't grow up, and their inside line completely played a blue-collar role, and it was still a lot worse than the Knicks' best blue-collar.

In the case of a complete victory in the interior, the Knicks played without pressure. Their backcourt trio easily scored 20+ points, and the team played against the Nets from beginning to end.

I think the Nets were the biggest threat to their division championship back then, but now the opposing players are almost the same, but there is no threat left.

In this game, the Knicks also beat their opponents 110:87. Li Hai showed his efficient scoring ability and scored 36 points.

This season, he has been on the scoring list from the beginning.

The Knicks have been going well this season, but there are still problems off the court.

With the appearance of Li Hai, the history of this world is different from the world he has experienced. He has changed many things, but he has not been able to change some things.

Marbury's father was born, which made him very sad.

In another world, Marbury's father died of a heart attack during the game between the Knicks and the Suns, because the team did not notify Marbury at the time, which also caused Marbury and the team to feud, and has never played for the Knicks since then. The game, and even quit the NBA when he was playing.

In this world, Isiah Thomas did not become the coach of the team at all, and Li Hai has a good relationship with Marbury's family. He often nagged his teammates to pay attention to the old man's body. Every time Marbury's father came to watch the game, there would be someone Help babysit, the Knicks and the Suns did not have a problem in that game.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the old man passed away.

Marbury asked for leave to leave the team, and Li Hai followed. The head coach didn't understand Li Hai's behavior, and called him to join the team to participate in the game, with a serious tone.

"The strength of the team is just right, I am already very grateful for you coming to help, there is no need to miss the game."

"I don't come to your house once or twice. Uncle is also my elder. I always have to do something... But you, don't be too sad. He definitely wants you to achieve better results on the court."

When Lehi and Marbury were away, the Knicks happened to be playing back-to-back games against the 76ers.

In the first game, the players of the Knicks were united and worked hard to win Marbury. Crawford scored 30+10 and led the team to victory.

But this kind of emotion can only support one game. Without Li Hai and Marbury, the strength of the Knicks has been greatly affected. They lost to the 76ers in the second game.

Larry Brown also got angry at Li Hai's unorganized and undisciplined behavior, and the team decided to fine him.

After staying with Marbury for a few days, Li Hai also returned to the team, and Marbury will sort out his mood and report back to the team later.

After all, unlike that world, the atmosphere of the team itself is very good. Even if Marbury is sad, he will not have conflicts with the team.

Li Hai also thought it over later, he was afraid that Marbury would not recover from a setback because he thought too much, this world is completely different from the other world.

But it wasn't entirely for Marbury that he stayed to help, he was an orphan, and he had indeed regarded Marbury's father as an elder in the United States for a few years, and Li Hai felt better where he helped for a few days.

On December 12, after Li Hai returned to the team, the team had a truce at home against the visiting Mavericks.

The Mavericks were a bit sad last season, but the league's first record was blacked out in the playoffs.

However, they felt that there was a problem with underestimating the enemy, and their lineup was still top-notch, so they didn't change much in the summer, and the main players were still those people.

But they obviously still thought too much. They didn't start this season badly, but it was still a lot worse than last season and their expectations.

The Mavericks' roster hasn't changed much, except for adding Devin Harris to the starting lineup with Jason Terry in the backcourt, adding to the impact.

Without Marbury, the Knicks directly let rookie Wilson Chandler start.

Although Wilson Chandler is not bad in strength, he must still have flaws as a starter, but overall he is still a relatively good candidate. At least his physical fitness is the most suitable, he can keep up with the rhythm of the Knicks, and he has also increased his back field height.

The current lineup structure of the Mavericks is somewhat similar to that of the Knicks. At the beginning, both sides also played from the inside. Randolph and Nowitzki are both very strong on the offensive end.

It's just that Josh Howard was a little wilted when he met Li Hai, which caused the Mavericks' offensive pressure to be more concentrated in the hands of Nowitzki.

If this happens to other teams, there will definitely be a big problem in offense, but the Mavericks are different. Nowitzki is really strong enough. He scored 15 points in the first quarter. Instead, the Knicks fell behind 26:28 2 minutes.

However, if this kind of all-encompassing style of play cannot be maintained, the Mavericks will definitely have problems.

So the Knicks are not worried at all, just strengthen the defense.

Nowitzki also engaged in a lot of physical confrontation to consume. As long as the opponent has a flaw, the Knicks will instantly suppress the opponent.

Sure enough, Nowitzki was not so brave in the second quarter, and Li Hai also took the opportunity to lead the team to a small climax to overtake the score.

The Mavericks have experience in defending Li Hai, but they just can't stop them.

Not only did Josh Howard not restrain Li Hai, he only hit one goal.

By halftime, the Knicks had a 53-49 lead.

The Mavericks had nothing to do. Even if the Knicks lost Marbury, Li Hai restrained them too much, limiting their second scorer, but not enough to turn it into a breakthrough.

They can only rely too much on Nowitzki, and their single tactic was slowly mastered by the Knicks.

At the beginning of the second half, Nowitzki felt hot, but as the game progressed, Nowitzki's physical strength, which had been accompanied by high-intensity defense, also began to have problems.
