Basketball Dragon

Chapter 112 The lineup is not complete
It was crazy when they were playing in the nightclub, but in the second day's training, those few who were the happiest had fully recovered, and Li Hai had to admire the physical fitness of this group of NBA animals.

As long as they don't often go out crazy, their bodies will not have any problems at all.

When he was about to have lunch, Li Hai suddenly received a call from Xia Weiliang.

"Li Hai, you're dead." After leaving a word, Xia Weiliang hung up the phone, which made Li Hai baffled.

Li Hai couldn't answer the phone call. Xia Weiliang usually has a bit of a womanly personality, and she rarely plays petty temper. Li Hai didn't know what happened.

It wasn't until dinner time that they found out that their going to the nightclub was published in the tabloids, and there were news on the Internet, which completely described a team gathering as an exaggerated event, and it was accompanied by a misleading picture.

In the photo, Li Hai was very close to the two blonde beauties. Li Hai was wronged. He just politely invited the two of them to drink two glasses of wine, but he didn't expect to cause trouble.

No wonder the head coach looked a little upset during the training, and he probably heard some news.

"Li, I'm sorry, I let you be used by someone. That nightclub usually doesn't have such people. This is not allowed. Those two people probably came here on purpose after hearing the news."

After Marbury explained it to Li Hai, he understood what was going on. Those two women were the kind of flesh and blood who specialize in seeking attention. The photo must have been deliberately taken by them, so as to make some news to increase their popularity.

Li Hai was afraid for a while, and he often heard that so-and-so had trouble sleeping when chatting. Fortunately, he controlled himself, otherwise something would really go wrong.

At night, when the Knicks played against the visiting Trail Blazers at home, Xia Weiliang appeared in the audience angrily.

Li Hai immediately went over and showed a flattering smile. Fortunately, after he came out of the nightclub, he drank and called Xia Weiliang for ten minutes, otherwise it would be really troublesome to prove his innocence.

Those media reporters deliberately brought up this matter in their pre-match interviews. Li Hai was very depressed, and he also played extremely fiercely in the subsequent games.

The Blazers are completely rebuilding this season. The Knicks lost last time because Randolph felt too good. This time the Knicks didn't give the opponent a chance from the beginning.

In the starting line-up, Li Hai and Marbury have strong firepower. The substitutes, Crawford and Channing Frye, are also the ones who completely blow up the opponent's rotation. The Knicks have a really good draft this season, and the few people they get can help immediately. , especially Channing Frye, was better than expected.

The Knicks also easily won this game at home, keeping the second place in the Eastern Conference.

However, Eddie Curry suffered a muscle strain during the game and will miss a few games.

Regarding Eddie Curry, Li Hai was also a little depressed. He obviously had a good talent, but he didn't train very hard, and this guy had a heart problem, so he couldn't be forced.

This powerful offensive center has improved the Knicks' inside line, but he can only play about 20 minutes per game. Now he is injured again, and the Knicks' inside line is in crisis again. If a few rookies can grow up quickly alright.

On Nov. 11 against the Charlotte Bobcats, the Knicks put outstanding rookie Channing Frye in the starting position to replace the injured Eddie Curry.

As expected, Channing Frye may be able to pull out to shoot, but it is still a bit short of actually going to the basket. Marcin Gortat also looks very immature in front of Emeka Okafor , Just like last season, the Knicks were blown inside.

In this game, only Li Hai and Marbury played steadily for the Knicks, and they had no choice but to lose another game.

On November 11, the Knicks will be competing against the Philadelphia 26ers.

The 76ers have a good starting lineup this season. Allen Iverson and Chris Webber look strong. Andre Iguodala and Kyle Korver are good young players. Samuel Dalembert is also a qualified blue-collar, but none of their bench lineup is outstanding, resulting in a mediocre team record.

The 76ers and the Knicks are still the same. Iverson and Marbury started off each other. Now the Knicks are led by Larry Brown. In order to show that they are not worse than Iverson, Marbury is even more desperate I'm dead.

Before the first half, he would mainly pass the ball, but this game was a continuous strong play.

However, the opponent's point guard, Iverson, played in a similar way, and no one took advantage.

On the contrary, the Knicks played well inside, which was estimated to be a disadvantage, mainly because of Channing Frye. His defense against Chris Webber was better than expected.

It can also be seen that at this time, Weber no longer has the fighting power of the Kings, and feels a bit suppressed by the youthful Channing Frye.

Marbury and Iverson, one scored 16 points and the other 17 points in the first half, but Iverson sent 5 more assists than Marbury, which was slightly better, and the 76ers also led the score.

Returning to the locker room to rest at halftime, Marbury still gritted his teeth.

Li Hai couldn't help but said: "Stephen, you're not a rookie anymore. It's meaningless to compare statistics. Winning the game is the key."

Marbury was about to lose his temper as soon as he stared, but he held back for some reason, feeling a little sulking.

Head coach Larry Brown was really angry, and said heartbroken: "I don't care what you are thinking, where is your defense?"

Offensive singles are fine, but the old man can't bear to let the 76ers score 58 points in the half.

Larry Brown still has a bit of courage. If he really wants to make him feel dissatisfied, it is possible to push people on the bench.

At the beginning of the second half, Marbury didn't know whether he had figured it out or was concerned about the head coach. He made a slight change in his style of play, and the Knicks' defense followed suit. .

Chris Webber and Kyle Korver were defended continuously, especially Korver, whose shooting movements were a little deformed under the defense of Li Hai. Fortunately, it was Iguodala who dealt with Li Hai on the defensive end Otherwise, Korver's body may not be able to play for a few minutes and he will go down to rest.

Nate Robinson played very well in this game. Larry Brown simply played a small lineup and asked Nate Robinson to mark Iverson and liberate Marbury.

This lineup has Channing Frye at center and Li Hai at power forward. It is the Knicks' most mobile lineup.

With Li Hai running back to catch the ball and hit a shot, the Knicks overtook by 1 point and ended the third quarter.
