Chapter 120 The Belief in Winning

After being tricked by Li Hai, Granger became a lot more cautious. Although he was silent, he was actually a proud guy. However, he didn't have much possession of the ball in the Pacers, so he couldn't play with Li Hai to his heart's content.

The Pacers continued to be dominated by O'Neal, and Li Hai felt that it was a bit tiring to play inside like this. Unfortunately, the Knicks still had a bunch of insiders, and no one could handle this guy.

Jaskovicius also hit two [-]-pointers to push the Knicks tight.

After Li Hai hit Granger with two balls, he didn't feel like he was trying to find an organization, and strengthened his aggressiveness. In this situation, he passed a few good shots to the inside. Has a good mid-range shot, even if he can't guard O'Neal, he can hit a few shots.

Through these few balls, Li Hai has his own views on the definition of organization. In fact, he doesn't need to apply it mechanically. Every player has his own characteristics. What he needs to do is to integrate the method into his own reality.

After three quarters, the Knicks led by 73 points 71:2.

In addition to Granger, the Pacers' current bench lineup does not have any outstanding characters, causing them to play for a long time.

In the critical section, Jermaine O'Neal still showed no signs of fatigue and was unstoppable inside.

At this time, the Knicks would definitely not watch the opponent continue to attack like this, and took a flanking attack without hesitation, but they did not expect their Jamal Tinsley to stand up and start hitting consecutive hits.

Even if Larry Brown has emphasized the defense of the guards many times, those people will still make the mistakes they should make. Defense is not the same as offense. Relying on imagination is not enough. Some players do not want to defend, while others do not. It is personal characteristics that make it difficult to improve defense.

Granger and Li Hai have already prevented him from having a few chances to make a move, but this alone is not enough, the Pacers are not relying on Granger to score points now, even if Li Hai has zero blocks for him, it does not mean much.

At this point, the only option is to attack.

The Knicks played a small lineup again, but unlike the previous games, there was no Nate Robinson in the backcourt, but Quentin Richardson.

With Jamal Tinsley fouling Marbury and getting to the free throw line, the Pacers took a four-point lead.

Li Hai licked his lips, because the sweat dripped down with a salty taste.

The Knicks can't go on a losing streak any longer. The reason why Marbury and the head coach will supersede in the morning is also because of the influence of the three-game losing streak. They will enter the sequence of strong teams this season, and they must win this game.

"Guys, don't give them a chance to shoot. I will definitely stop them from coming in."

As soon as the words fell, Jamal Tinsley squeezed in from Marbury.

Just when Tinsley was about to score in an unruly way, Li Hai suddenly appeared and slapped the basketball out.

Even if Tinsley came in and shot the ball, the final goal was to put the ball into the basket, and Li Hai was not affected by the attack method.

Crawford got the ball and rushed quickly. After killing the opponent's half, he dribbled the ball behind his back, accelerated and rushed in and was about to make a layup, which also smelled like a street ball.

Granger rushed over quickly from behind, also with a big hat.

Then the ball fell into the hands of Li Hai who was following up. Li Hai picked up the ball and took a step forward to pick it into the basket. Granger took off for the second time but was unable to stop it.

Jermaine O'Neal was double-teamed, the Knicks' perimeter defense expanded again, and the Pacers broke through again. This time it was Jaskovicius, who was about to layup at an extremely fast speed.

Li Hai jumped up again, and slapped him.

Li Hai didn't have much to do with that kind of big center inside, but he could play a very good defensive role against the defenders who came in.

The Knicks can play a small lineup, and it would be impossible without his defensive ability.

Channing Frye got the ball and handed it to Li Hai. Li Hai directly made a long pass to Quentin Richardson who ran earlier. Richardson took the ball to the three-point line and made a direct three-pointer.

This ball makes him feel a bit still in the Suns, but he only appears occasionally in the Knicks. He has never been able to adapt well to Larry Brown's tactics.

With only 3 minutes left, the Knicks took the lead again.

After the Pacers paused and made arrangements, Jermaine O'Neal came up to catch the ball and was double-teamed and passed to Crozier. Crozier took advantage of Le Hai's double-teaming Jermaine O'Neal and turned around and hit 2 points.

Then in turn, Li Hai caught the ball with his back, turned around and passed Crohill neatly, and used his best method to start off on O'Neal who came up from the supplementary defense, creating a foul by the opponent.

O'Neal also fouled five times this time, and the Knicks who had too many fouls were all sitting below, which had no effect on the situation on the field. Li Hai made a steady free throw and scored another 1 point.

The Pacers played the same tactic again, handing the ball to Jermaine O'Neal first, Li Hai went to pinch, Jermaine O'Neal passed the ball to Crohill again, this time Lehi turned around more quickly, Crohill didn't The mobile phone opportunity was passed to O'Neill.

This time, O'Neal suddenly leaned on Channing Frye, regardless of Li Hai behind him, straightened his arms and directly put the ball into the basket.

The Knicks also called a timeout to let the players on the field catch their breath. In the last few minutes of the game, everyone's nerves were tense, and it was the most exhausting time.

It was less than 1 minute before the ball was served at halftime. Marbury ran out of time, and at 7 seconds, Li Hai came to cover. Marbury stepped over the defender and pulled up a jump shot.

When Marbury made a shot, Li Hai rushed out. This is Marbury's old problem. The ball after the final timeout is often less powerful.

Li Hai rushed directly to the spot where the ball fell, jumped up high, and flicked the ball from O'Neill's head into the hands of Crawford who also rushed in.

Crawford got the ball and went straight to the layup without any pause. O'Neal, who was backed by five fouls, couldn't fully pounce on it, and Crawford scored a layup.

There was another timeout, and after returning to the court, Tinsley seized the opportunity to hang over O'Neal again.

Li Hai would not allow the opponent to do the same thing so easily. He had already guessed that the Pacers would play like this. This is the obvious weakness of the goal. He firmly believed that the ball would not be delivered to Crosher beside him at first. So when the opponent makes a move, he moves.

O'Neal leaned on Channing Frye with his body, and was about to catch the ball when Li Hai's figure rushed past him and picked the ball in the air.

Li Hai quickly rushed to the opponent's half, and then stopped, the time was less than 24 seconds, the opponent could only foul after a few seconds failed.
