Chapter 54 Different Understanding

When Marbury heard Li Hai's words, he asked in confusion, "Li, what exactly are you going to say, just be quicker."

Li Hai didn't want to irritate Marbury, and his tone was still relatively tactful, "I think when the score is stalemate, if you and Jamal pass the ball to me too much, the opponent's defender will be more difficult to defend."

As soon as Li Hai finished speaking, Marbury's expression changed drastically.

"Lee, I can say it directly, you are questioning my ability to control the game, just like the third-rate media thinks, I am the leader of failure, I am the cancer of the team, and I am far inferior to Jason Kee. De and Allen Iverson, the team lost because of my choices."

Marbury would be upset that Li Hai knew, but he didn't expect Marbury to have such a big reaction.

He was also a little annoyed, and tried to suppress his anger and said: "I am only for the team's victory. This is just communication between teammates. Without sufficient communication between teammates, how can we exert the strongest combat effectiveness on the field."

Marbury stared at Li Hai fiercely, "Rookie, let me tell you again, I know how to play, and I don't need you to teach me how to win games."

"Compared to these, you should put more energy into the game, you still have a lot to learn."

"Hey, what are you two doing? Why are your teammates quarreling again? Let's go back to rest early today. Tomorrow is an away game." Crawford came over and persuaded.

Li Hai originally wanted to say a few words, but after being interrupted, he temporarily stopped thinking about it. The team's tactics and the distribution of ball rights cannot be solved with a few words, and we can only find opportunities to change it slowly.

It is best for everyone to reach a consensus. If a consensus cannot be reached, the coach must understand what is the most beneficial to the team's record. The worst case is that the team is disbanded and rebuilt.

On December 12, the Knicks played away against the HSD Wizards.

After the Wizards poached the corners of the Warriors in various ways, their combat power gradually increased. This season, Antawn Jamison also came to the Wizards. Together with Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes, they formed a terrifying team. back-court.

The three averaged 20+ per game, and together they can average nearly 20 rebounds per game, and the outside line with good organizational skills, think about it and know how difficult it will be.

Their inside players Brandon Haywood and Jared Jeffries are also higher than the Knicks inside, and there is no doubt that this will be another tough battle.

The Wizards' offensive ability is excellent, but their defense is not very good.

The start of the game felt like both teams were defenseless. In the front line duel, Tim Thomas was completely blown away by Antawn Jamison.

The advantage of height is gone, he can't compete in strength, and his offensive skills are even worse. He is also a man with an annual salary of tens of millions. Tim Thomas' performance can only be described as horrible.

Crawford hit the iron like crazy again, and after Li Hai was replaced, the score fell behind again.

I don't know if Marbury has been stimulated, and it feels like he is fighting alone more. Obviously he has been passing the ball as much as possible this season, although the timing of passing the ball is open to question.

After Li Hai went, he still ran desperately. Antoine Jamison's defense was also good, but his speed was obviously inferior to Li Hai.

After running out of opportunities, Marbury passed the ball, even though he had been black before the game.

Li Hai did not disappoint either, and hit the CIC steadily.

However, when defending Jamison, he encountered a new problem, that is, the opponent's style of play.

Jamison is a dubious player, he can play both the 3rd position and the 4th position, Li Hai will not give him an easy shot if he shoots from the outside, but it will be difficult for Li Hai to defend if he goes inside.

He has already met a few small forwards who are healthy, but the previous opponents were all relatively pure 3-position play, and Jamison used some techniques of power forwards, such as leaning on Li Hai to make a half-hook Li Hai couldn't interfere directly at all.

Physical confrontation. In this case, Li Hai could only forcefully fight physically. Even if he was shorter and lighter, he couldn't back down in the slightest.

He tried his best to stand behind Jamison, but the opponent finally missed the shot this time, but the rebound was grabbed by Brandon Haywood, and the Wizards still scored 2 points in this attack.

Li Hai was also a little speechless about the inside line. It was not easy for him to guard the opponent's hottest player. He didn't expect that the inside line couldn't even protect the rebounds.

It's not the first time. When he didn't play, Jamison also grabbed offensive rebounds twice, but the taller Tim Thomas couldn't even protect the backcourt rebounds. The comparison is annoying.

Li Hai felt that some players in the team really had problematic attitudes. If they were all eager to win, even if the style of play was questionable, the team would be able to win a few more games.

"Li Hai ran back and threw Jamison away, received the ball from outside the three-point line without hesitation, and scored."

"Li Hai didn't shoot many three-pointers, but his shooting percentage was very good... A beautiful steal, another three-pointer, and the Knicks took the lead."

"After more than a month of training, this surprising rookie has greatly improved his aggressiveness and confidence, and his shots are becoming more and more decisive."

By the end of the half, the Knicks led by 58 points 53:5.

Among the Wizards' rotation players, there are no particularly outstanding characters, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks can slowly control the situation after Lee Hai plays.

After Li Hai was replaced, the Wizards took advantage again.

When Li Hai was replaced again, the Wizards made adjustments. They replaced a small forward as a backup, and replaced Jamison at the 4th position, deliberately staggering with Li Hai.

The new small forward Jarvis Hayes is no match for Li Hai, but on the other hand Jamison is also a headache for Kurt Thomas.

The two sides still can't prevent anyone, not only Jamison, but Arenas and Larry Hughes in the backcourt of the Wizards are also in a brave state.

It can be said that Marbury and Arenas had a mutual explosion, but Crawford was completely outmatched by Larry Hughes. Fortunately, another Knicks rotation player, Michael Sweetney, also performed well. Otherwise, they must have fallen behind by double digits.

"Stephen, good pass, I feel good today."

"My pass has always been good, rookie, let me concentrate on playing, if you can make a shot, I can pass the ball."

Li Hai thought to himself, although he wanted to pass the ball not only when running out of opportunities, but at this time he couldn't ask for more.

"Okay, let's win this game."
