Chapter 81 Seizing Every Victory
Lewis's defense was much worse than his offense. He couldn't keep up with Li Hai's footsteps at all, and his height and arm length could cause interference.

Under the constant confrontation with Li Hai on both offensive and defensive ends, Lewis' shooting rate also began to slowly decline.

However, Li Hai couldn't be happy at all. Ray Allen was still stable and kept scoring, but Marbury was showing a tendency to hit the iron.

There is nothing to say about Marbury's strength, but sometimes his choices on the court are puzzling.

It's the type that doesn't seem to be wrong, but there is something wrong.

He is stuck in a bottleneck, and he will go to a higher level if he passes it, or he may simply choose to take a step back, but the reality is that it is difficult to do both.

At the age of 28, he is at the peak of his age. He has been in the league for nine seasons. With Marbury's temperament, it may be impossible to take a step back for the time being, and there is little hope of reaching a higher level.

Even if the relationship between him and Li Hai is not bad now, Li Hai's rise will definitely have an impact on Marbury, just like in this game, when the shooting rate is high, Li Hai doesn't care, but when the shooting rate drops, he feels Mabury. There is something wrong with Bree's style of play.

It is not the first time that the two have had a dispute because of the style of play, and there is no fundamental solution for the time being.

When the Knicks had a problem, the Sonics firmly controlled the situation, took advantage of more offensive personnel, and held on to the last moment of the game.

At 80:90, the Knicks had no choice but to swallow the failure.

On March 3, the Knicks lost again at home. O'Neal slammed the Knicks inside. This Li Hai really had no choice. It was really not easy to beat the opponent with outside shots.

This is the regular season, the opponent's defense is tight, and most of the time the ball is not in Li Hai's hands.

On March 3, the Knicks went to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks.

The Eagles, already at the bottom of the league record, have almost given up now, put Josh Smith on the starting lineup, and began to train this young player with the best physique.

If you want to say which team in the NBA is easy to beat, it is undoubtedly a team that has lost its fighting spirit.

This kind of team is vulnerable at critical moments, and the Knicks easily won the final victory with 106:92.

But the next day they played back-to-back away games against the Heat, and the Knicks were rubbed on the ground again.

What can O'Neill do for 30+20, but Li Hai can't think of any way for the time being.

On March 3, the Knicks returned home to welcome the San Antonio Spurs.

However, the No.1 Tim Duncan of the Spurs did not come with the team. Duncan had some minor injuries, and their head coach Gregg Popovich let Duncan rest.

The Spurs have won 50 wins and are now No. [-] in the Western Conference. Even if the main player is absent, they are calm and calm.

The Knicks are different. Their record is still on the fringe of the playoffs. The opponent loses a main player, so they must seize the opportunity to win.

At the beginning of the game between the two sides, it was the mutual explosion of Tony Parker and Stephen Marbury.

Others didn't have many shots at all, and Li Hai was the same. He almost spent his time in entanglement with Bruce Bowen. In return for Bowen, he prevented the opponent from even a single shot. get.

Due to the trade between the two teams in the middle of the season, in order to show the good life of the players in the new club, Malik Rose was sent to the field early, and the opponent also replaced Nazr Mohamed, and the two also played exceptionally Work hard.

However, judging from the situation on the scene, Malik Rose is even better, taking advantage of Duncan's absence to constantly attack the Spurs' inside line.

But Li Hai knew that this was just a show. As an inside player, Malik Rose was really short. If it wasn't for the fact that the opponent was the Spurs, he definitely wouldn't get so much support from the team.

When the rotation players showed their power, the Spurs' Devin Brown showed an amazing state, scoring 10 points in a row to put the Spurs in the lead.

Crawford's defense is really terrible. Fortunately, he has reduced the number of random shots during this period. Otherwise, even if this guy has a good personality, other teammates will not be able to stand it.

At the end of the half, the Spurs without Duncan still led the Knicks 47:43.

During the halftime break, Li Hai made an analysis. Even if he defended Bowen to scoreless in the first half, it didn't make much sense. The Spurs didn't rely on him to score.

Manu Ginobili and Devin Brown, who is in peak form, Li Hai locked his target on the two.

Fortunately, Crawford was easy to talk to. If Li Hai suggested that the team let him defend Tony Parker, Marbury would definitely lose his face.

As the Spurs only played against the Pistons yesterday, Ginobili looked a little tired.

On the basketball court, there is definitely no such thing as sympathy for the opponent. Li Hai increased his physical confrontation with the opponent on the court. Of course, when he was attacking and defending without the ball, as long as Ginobili received the ball, Li Hai would Change the defensive mode and beware of fouls.

Soon, Li Hai's opponent became Devon Brown.

Devin Brown immediately felt the tough defense, and Li Hai gave him the feeling that Bowen, who had better physical fitness, made him very uncomfortable.

Devin Brown, who played smoothly in the first half, had fewer chances to shoot after being entangled by Li Hai.

Marbury took the opportunity to exert his strength and made sudden shots, turning the scores of the two sides over.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had overtaken by 4 points.

The impact of Duncan's absence for the Spurs came out at this time. When Parker's shots fluctuated, the Spurs didn't have the pinnacle to stabilize the team, and the offense became messy.

Seeing that he had a chance to win the game, Li Hai only took a one-minute break before continuing to play.

After he restricted the Spurs' No. 2 team, the Spurs' scoring has entered a stage of stagnation.

After Ginobili missed a three-pointer again, he chose to focus on defense.

However, the Knicks' current assist point is not at the 2nd position.

Marbury at No. 1, Li Hai, who has a physical advantage, and Tim Thomas, who has recovered recently, are the main offensive points for the Knicks.

With a breakthrough from Marbury causing Tony Parker's fifth foul, the Spurs' GDP combination was down to one, and the Knicks firmly grasped the situation on the court.

Benno Udri, a rookie who came off the bench, was no match for Marbury, and the Knicks' lead soon reached 14 points.

Seeing that there was not much time, the Spurs gave up the game and replaced all the substitutes. The Knicks also replaced the substitutes and played the last 2 minutes.

At 88:75, the Knicks seized the opportunity of Duncan's absence and beat the Spurs.
