Chapter 265 Winning Streak in Targeting
Li Hai is always the most excited when facing a powerful opponent.

Bryant and he are the same type of people, they are eager to beat stronger opponents.

Both of them defend very well, and naturally there will be no easy shooting opportunities when they are facing each other.

Kobe did not continue to shoot from the outside. He was not afraid of any defense, but it did not mean that he would shoot indiscriminately. After he came to the small forward position, Kobe went directly to the low post to get the ball.

Turning around and leaning back with a high degree of proficiency, Kobe's eyes are firm, and he can catch up when the score is behind.

However, Li Hai adopted a simpler offensive method. With a screen, he pulled up and threw the ball into the basket. No matter how well Kobe defended him, it was useless.

At 5 minutes and 50 seconds, Kobe caused Li Hai's foul and made a free throw to close the gap to only 6 points.

At 4 minutes and 25 seconds, Li Hai countered with a one-stop layup and caused Odom's foul. While stabilizing the lead, it was Odom's fifth foul.

Although the insiders of the Lakers have been upgraded because of Bynum's growth, they are still far behind the Knicks, and they can't stop their impact at all.

The current situation makes the Lakers feel bad, and Kobe is taking care of everything, completely entering the rhythm of fighting alone.

This is a manifestation of confidence and ability, and it is also easy for the Knicks to take advantage of.

No matter how strong Kobe is, as long as the Knicks have no problem with their offense, the result will be obvious, but the current Lakers are really weak on defense.

At 3 minutes and 12 seconds, Li Hai made a wonderful pass to Francis and sent Odom off the field with six fouls in the backcourt. The crisis for the Lakers was even greater.

Next, Kobe hit the iron twice in the pinch, and the Knicks took the opportunity to expand the score advantage to double digits, firmly grasping the chance of victory.

In the end, Kobe scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, but the Lakers still lost.

尼克斯106:95获得了胜利，李海拿下40分13篮板5助攻，带领球队赢下比赛的同时数据也完全不输科比。

"They achieved this victory, but this is not the final result." Kobe was very unconvinced after losing the game, "We should play better and not be affected by their status as defending champions."

"There's no question that the team needs reinforcement, and the Knicks and Celtics are doing a great job."

Unlike the Lakers, the Knicks' current lineup is already perfect. They just need to run in and bring out everyone's strengths.

On December 12, the Knicks went to an away game against the Magic.

The game was very intense. Howard didn't score a lot. The rebounds and help defense were as sharp as ever. However, it was the opponent's outside shots that put pressure on the Knicks. Turkoglu and Lewis still had their problems. .

Fortunately, Li Hai made consecutive hits at the last moment, which helped the team win 106:100.

With consecutive high-scoring performances, Li Hai also took the top spot in the scoring list.

On Dec. 12, the visiting Bulls put Ben Gordon back on the bench in order to deal with the Knicks.

Ben Gordon is the Bulls' first scoring point, which is different from when they won the best sixth man. Their tactics were also affected for a while, and they were always leading before the fourth quarter.

At the last moment, Ben Gordon even scored a three-pointer. If Li Hai also hit a key shot to drag the game into overtime, the Knicks would have lost another game.

Li Hai took the lead in overtime and scored 6 points in a row to help the team win.

And it can also be seen from this game that in order to deal with the Knicks, the teams in the league have also thought of various methods. Although other teams will not be as extreme as the Bulls, putting the core of the team on the bench, but targeted The means will only increase.

"Actually, it feels good to be targeted." Li Hai said during training.

"You don't have a penchant for perverts, do you?" Francis joked.

Li Hai said earnestly: "This shows that we are valued very much, and only the strong can enjoy the treatment. What we have to do is no matter what moves our opponents make, we will take them one by one and defeat them."

"Isn't it cool to think about it that way?"

Everyone laughed, but after thinking about what Li Hai said, it would indeed be the case. As athletes, they all have the idea of ​​being competitive, and the current position of the Knicks also makes them very active in training.

Entering 08, their opponent in the first game was the Kings team full of injuries.

After the opponent's first wave of offensive, the Knicks fully grasped the situation.

Even without the core players, the king can still play good shots, but this kind of good shots cannot be sustained, not to mention the continuation of a few games, and it is difficult to maintain stability in one game. Except for stars, This is probably the biggest difference between a weak team and a strong team.

Unknowingly, the Knicks have won 11 consecutive victories, but their next opponent is not easy to play, and they are going to challenge the Spurs away.

Compared with last year's finals, the Spurs' lineup has not changed much, but the Knicks have changed their appearance.

The same is that a strong opponent like the Spurs is definitely a great opportunity to test the team. It is a pity that Ginobili will not play in this game.

The Spurs' lineup has changed a bit. They put Horry in the starting lineup and Duncan went to the center position.

At the beginning of the game, both sides scored inside. Horry's starting situation is that he can't limit Randolph, and Randolph can't limit him.

After scoring points in the interior, the Knicks began to show off from the outside to seize the opportunity.

They kept the score leading until the rotation, when Horry suddenly came up and hit two three-pointers, and then Matt Bonner came up and hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs overtook the score all of a sudden, and the Knicks didn't expect to see the opponent's two core players seriously, but their big pitcher showed his power.

The Knicks reacted quickly, and they decisively expanded their defense. This season, they were not afraid of the opponent rushing in, so the commonly used tight defense at that time was rarely used, and the defensive effect was even better than then.

At the end of the first quarter, Crawford hit two consecutive goals, and the Knicks tied the score at 27:27 at the end.

In the second quarter, the Spurs appeared again and hit two three-pointers from the outside.

It can be said that outside the three-point line may be the only place where the Knicks are slightly weaker in defense. This is the result of the opponent's 4th position being pulled out.

When the main players came on the court, the Knicks firmly held the advantage.

Li Hai is very experienced in playing against Bowen. He led the team to maintain a stable score. Parker and Duncan did not feel very stable. Under the ebb and flow, the Knicks led by 54 points at the end of halftime 49:5 .

It can be said that this is also expected. Without Ginobili's Spurs, it is still a bit difficult to fight against the current Knicks.
