Chapter 118 Difficulties
With 5 minutes left in the game, Raja Bell hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Diaw, and the Suns took the lead again.

Such a situation happened throughout the game, and the score was always tangled.

Marbury immediately made a two-point shot, and then Nash also made a mid-range shot under the cover of his teammates.

Now both sides score from the outside, and there is a feeling of seeing the shooting rate.

"Paste it with confidence, don't let the other party take it easily." Li Hai stood on the inside line and kept reminding.

Nate Robinson also went all out. Although he was a lot shorter than Nash, he had a strong body. He bypassed the Suns' covering teammates and stuck Nash on him, making Nash extremely uncomfortable.

The other points were also firmly stuck to by the Knicks players.

Nash made a change in rhythm and squeezed past Nate Robinson, but the instant physical confrontation also made him feel that his breathing had changed. Before Nate Robinson caught up with him, he made a mid-range shot, but it missed.

At this time, Nash's physical strength has declined, and due to the confrontation, his shooting percentage has also decreased.

Li Hai carried Marion on his shoulders, Channing Frye grabbed the rebound and handed it to Li Hai, Li Hai caught the ball and pushed forward quickly.

Attacking directly from the backcourt, the opponent's foothold is not stable, but Li Hai is good at it.

Running across the entire basketball court can also accelerate Li Hai to the fastest speed. When his speed is fully up, there are only a few people in the league who can catch up with him, and the Suns must be gone.

The fast break ended with a one-stop dunk. The Suns had a good fast break, but the defensive fast break was in a mess. Li Hai seemed to have entered a no-man's land.

The Suns missed several shots at this time, which became a watershed in the game. They lost to the smaller lineup they were better at, and they did not expect the threat of Li Hai directly getting the rebound.

"Nash rushed to the inside and made a layup very quickly... Li Hai was well prepared and nailed the big cap."

"In my opinion, Li Hai is Marion who can score with the ball. The Knicks have had an incredible season."

"Marbury made another mid-range shot. There is nothing the Suns can do about this move."

"Li Hai made a three-pointer. His first three-pointer of the game...hit. The Suns' chances are running out."

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Suns 88:83 and won three consecutive away games. The Knicks have shown more and more strength.

After playing three away games, Quentin Richardson also decided to return in the game against the Bucks on the 12th.

After the Bucks got the No. [-] pick Andrew Bogut this summer, they traded Desmond Masonja for the big man Mal Magloire. The inside strength has been greatly improved, and the record is better than last season. Not a lot.

Encountering two defensive insiders, the Knicks' insiders are not having a good time.

Quentin Richardson, who just came back, has no touch, and Crawford and Marbury are constantly hitting the iron.

The most important thing is that the Knicks had a defensive problem in this game and stopped the Suns' defense, but were blown up by the rain of three-pointers from TJ Ford, Maurice Williams and Michael Reid.

The difference between whether there is an inside line or not is here. The Bucks' four 2-meter big men took turns playing to give their pitchers enough confidence.

In this game, the Knicks lost 92:112.

On December 12, the Knicks suffered their first losing streak of the season, no less than the Orlando Magic.

The same big man plus three-point rain, Dwight Howard also made great progress in his second year as a rookie, and Eddie Curry was eclipsed in front of him.

On December 12, in the same way, the Knicks lost to the Hawks again.

With rebounding bigs inside and three-pointers outside, the Knicks' weaknesses seem to have been figured out.

Li Hai didn't expect that the Knicks looked so much better this season, but the old problems still haven't improved.

The inside problem, this season the Knicks have a strong inside, but they still suffer a bit when they encounter a solid inside team, especially after several rookies have gradually been figured out inside.

Perimeter defense, defenselessness, habit of gambling steals, not only Marbury and Crawford have this problem, but Nate Robinson is also like this.

At this time, Eddie Curry had to truce due to injury. Although it was a minor injury, it made the Knicks worse.

The next day Li Hai went to the arena early, but he heard arguing.

Be good, this guy Marbury actually got into an argument with the head coach, Li Hai hurried over.

Fortunately, it was still very early at this time, and the other players did not come, otherwise it would be ugly.

Seeing Li Hai approaching, Marbury closed his mouth, angrily went to practice.

"You play shooting guard, anyone can organize, who do you ask to organize..." The old man was still very angry.

For Marbury's defense, Larry Hughes also has an opinion. Although his physical fitness is so good, he can't meet the requirements. He thinks Marbury is playing big.

Hearing this sentence, Li Hai almost knew what was going on, and he also knew what Marbury was thinking.

Larry Hughes went to the office after saying a few words, Li Hai hurried to Marbury's side, "Boss Ma, this is not good, the season is still long."

When Marbury heard Li Hai's words, he became even more angry, "I knew you were going to teach me again, and those who didn't know thought you were a veteran player."

"Don't worry, I'm on your side. The old coach is stubborn. Don't get angry with him. What I mean is that it's decided to achieve results this season. I'll go and talk to you." Li Hai laughed.

"Farewell, you also know that old man is stubborn, so it's fine if you don't like me." The disagreement between Marbury and Li Hai was mainly on some tactical details. After this summer, their personal relationship is getting better and better. up.

"It's nothing, we are all in pursuit of victory, and the coach's sense of victory is also very strong. As long as it is for victory, we can communicate. Maybe we can also ask Manager Isiah to trade a defender, but I think it is the best for the time being. A suitable choice is to find someone to help you share the tasks of the organization, so that you can play more handy."

Li Hai patted Marbury on the shoulder, "The team still needs to make our iron men play comfortably. Those few don't train well, and it's troublesome to bump into each other all the time."

Li Hai half-jokingly said something and walked to Larry Brown's office. There are important people in the team who are not good at communication than him, so let him, a person with average communication skills, help.

"Coach, I want to talk to you, we don't want to lose."

Faced with Li Hai's straight-forward words, Larry Brown's expression remained unchanged, "It's easy not to lose. You have to do what I ask, and naturally you won't lose."
