Basketball Dragon

Chapter 270
"We can lose, but we can't make low-level mistakes. It's okay to interrupt the winning streak. After all, not everyone can achieve such a long winning streak, but we don't need to underestimate the enemy. We should focus on seeking victory in every game."

When Li Hai spoke loudly during the timeout, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the team's defense.

When he played again, he also set an example and tried his best on the defensive end, but at this time Kobe's touch also improved, and the Lakers became extremely difficult to deal with.

At 3 minutes and 10 seconds, Li Hai hit a three-pointer to tie the score.

But only 13 seconds later, Kobe hit a fadeaway to give the Lakers the lead again.

At 37 seconds, Li Hai attracted the defense and gave the ball to Crawford on the outside. Crawford hit a three-pointer with a knife and the Knicks led by 115 point 114:1.

At the last moment Li Hai stood in front of Kobe, his defense was almost impeccable.

When the shot clock was almost over, the Lakers hadn't found a suitable offensive opportunity, and the ball returned to Kobe's hands.

At the last moment, Kobe leaned down and squeezed hard inside.

Li Hai had expected that the other party would make a move, so he moved quickly and firmly stopped in front.

Kobe took the opportunity to lean into his arms. It was too late for Li Hai to retreat, Kobe forcibly jumped up, and then the referee whistled, and Kobe scored the goal.

The ball can be blown or not. When this is the Lakers' home court and Kobe made the foul, the referee still gave it.

Bryant hit a free throw after breathing steadily, with only 15 seconds left, and the Knicks trailed by 2 points.

After pausing to set up tactics, Li Hai took the ball, his teammates came up to cover, and he rushed forward as soon as he accelerated.

What I didn't expect was that the Lakers had predicted his action, and Kobe and Walton quickly covered him.

Li Hai was rarely caught, Kobe's hand quickly cut over, and Wharton put his body against Li Hai, with small movements in his hands.

At this time, the referee didn't want to whistle, Li Hai tried his best to control the ball, and still relied on his strength to prevent the opponent from taking the ball away.

He squeezed Wharton to pass the ball to Marbury, Marbury had no chance, and time was running out, and Li Hai ran to get the ball back.

He made a shooting posture one step away from the three-point line, and Kobe and Walton rushed up at the same time.

However, Li Hai's ball was a fake move, not because of how realistic his fake move was, but because he was Li Hai, and he had already made several lore shots from beyond the three-point line. The team dare not let him shoot.

Li Hai clicked, and rushed in as soon as he got short, started to shoot arrows on horseback.

The ball was scored, the one with the red light on the backboard, the buzzer hit, 117:117, the two teams entered overtime.

In overtime, Li Hai didn't give the opponent another chance. He pretended to hang inside, but when the defensive team subconsciously looked back, he pulled the ball back. As soon as he accelerated, he passed the opponent and came near the free throw line to make a hit.

Relying on his performance of scoring 10 points in a row, the Knicks won this hard battle 129:124.

25 consecutive victories, the script of the Knicks winning streak continues.

Without any respite, the Knicks went to Utah to challenge the Jazz the next day.

The Jazz are not easy to chew on. They belong to the kind of team with a relatively complete lineup structure, but their defense is not good enough by the standards of strong teams.

Moreover, they lack a core player like Lehi.

Whether it's Boozer or Deron Williams, it feels a little worse.

At the beginning of the game, Randolph and Boozer blasted each other inside. Okur often went outside, although La Nix couldn't take care of it, but relative to it, he still had an advantage in rebounding.

In the offense, the Knicks rushed inside desperately, and the Jazz's inside defense was scumbag. They rushed the opponent to pieces from the first quarter.

The Jazz were able to confront the Knicks offensively at the beginning, but soon their players fouled too much, and they were taken away by the Knicks in the third quarter.

At 109:90, the Knicks won back to back without mercy, winning 26 consecutive victories in one fell swoop.

On February 2, the Knicks played against the Trail Blazers in Portland again.

The Trail Blazers have been miserable this season, and the No. [-] pick Greg Oden was reimbursed without a game.

But their current results are not bad, after all, Roy and Aldridge have played out, trading Randolph is a win-win game.

But the former Knicks players who came to the Trail Blazers had joys and sorrows. Richardson became the starter and mixed well, and Channing Frye became a substitute. Without the environment of the Knicks, the statistics have dropped somewhat.

Channing Frye also suffered a lot when he saw his old teammates, but with his technical characteristics, he didn't worry about being wanted. His agent has already started activities to find a new way out for him, but he doesn't know if he can succeed. .

Facing the young team of the Blazers, the Knicks still have an advantage. The opponent's leaders are a little tender, and their inside has a great rebounding advantage.

The Knicks have taken advantage from the first quarter. Although the Blazers have been catching up, the Knicks' sophisticated defense and sharp offense did not give them a chance.

At 108:94, the Knicks also successfully won 27 consecutive victories, making the outside world stunned.

Li Hai was as efficient as ever, scoring 45 points alone despite the poor performance of the substitute players.

The last game of the Western Conference road trip is Seattle, which is also a back-to-back.

Consecutive away games, consecutive back-to-back, are the most exhausting time for the players, and it is also the time to test the quality of the team. As an ambitious team, they have survived the first four rounds, and they will never be defensive in the last round.

Moreover, the Supersonics are also the weakest of several opponents.

In fact, everyone in the Knicks didn't feel good at the beginning of the Knicks game. Even Li Hai rarely hit the iron continuously.

But the reporters on the sidelines didn't dare to think that the Sonics would end the Knicks' winning streak, because although the Knicks didn't score, their defense was suffocating, and it was difficult for the Sonics with Durant as the core to score.

At 15:17 in the first quarter, you can imagine the extent of the defense.

When the Knicks began to feel better in the second quarter, the Supersonics were completely blocked, and Durant almost knocked out the basket under Li Hai's defense.

So after the Knicks returned to normal, the Sonics still only scored 17 points.

The rhythm is so settled, the Sonics can't find a second point at all, and after Durant is restricted, it is impossible for them to beat the Knicks, even if most of the Knicks feel poor.

防守的胜利，90:77，李海24分10篮板7助攻4抢断2盖帽，尼克斯就这样拿下了28连胜。

Five away games in the West, two back-to-backs, the Knicks were able to maintain a complete victory.

The media exclaimed that the Knicks were seeking defeat alone, and the gaming company even offered high odds on which team could end the Knicks' winning streak.
