Of course, the perfect solution for the Magic would be for Lamar to wear the Lakers' purple and gold jersey, but apparently this is simply not possible.

Jackson was also stunned when he was provoked by Lamar, and when he reacted, he was just as angry. He has coached Lamar for 2 seasons, and although the United States does not pay attention to what a teacher is a teacher for a lifetime, at least Lamar should respect himself. Blatantly provoking in front of so many people like this now, this Zen master, who is often an old monk, can't help but be a little angry.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Jackson's ass left the seat for the first time, walked to the sideline and waved, signaling his players to press up and attack, and speed up the attack.

Although the Lakers have always been an offensive team, they are still far from the run-and-gun tactics. After all, the Lakers have interior players like Shaq O'Neal and Karl Malone, and there are three old guys over 30 in the main lineup, and they can't be fast even if they want to.

Just after halftime, the old Jianghu Gary Payton made an unexpected mistake under the octopus-like defense of Billups. The ball he passed to Bryant was a half-high ball, which was easily cut off by Lamar.

After Lamar broke the ball, he once again took the ball to the basket alone, jumped and dunked, and completed it with ease. After landing, he didn't forget to give him a thumbs up to Gary Payton, who assisted him, so that the old glove's face that had been through the vicissitudes of life was purple.

"Gary, see where your teammates are passing the ball again!" Jackson shouted loudly, obviously unhappy with Payton's performance.

Gary Payton also quickly apologized to Jackson and his teammates, pointing to his bald head to show that he was not concentrating just now.

18：11！

Next, the Lakers' offense was still not slow, and this time Payton's pass finally found the right person and accurately handed it to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant made a false jump shot and missed the ball, and the basketball accidentally fell into Joe Johnson's arms.

At this time, Johnson's side happened to be unguarded, and a one-handed slam dunk scored the ball.

18:13！

Van Gundy saw that the defensive rebound was so easily lost, and stood up and shouted, "Protect the rebound!" Boys, focus your full attention and see the direction of the basketball! That's a big ass beauty!"

Van Gundy's vague and slightly ambiguous words immediately irritated someone in the Knicks' lineup.

When the Knicks attacked, the Haitians, who were stimulated, roared as if they had mutated their genes.

Seeing this, Billups immediately passed the ball, and Darmsport received the ball and turned and dunked it directly.

The sad O'Neill was accidentally attacked by Dampoter, and he himself became a stepping stone to Haitian fame, and he was suddenly a little angry.

20:13！

In less than nine minutes into the game, the offensive efficiency of both teams was simply astonishing. For the next two minutes, both sides maintained their good form.

O'Neal, who first suffered a dark loss on Darmster, mentioned that he responded near the free throw line, and immediately passed to Kobe Bryant, who ran back from the eyeline, who jumped up and easily dodged the combined block of Lamar and Wade, and scored the ball with a backhand hook.

Then Wade and Lamar, who are not lonely, came to a very classic aerial juggling.

First, Lamar passed the ball to Wade.

Wade had a chance to dunk after receiving the ball, but saw the Lakers' defense open the door, and Lamar was already near the free throw line. Wade, who was in the air, immediately changed his mind and gently lifted the ball in the air.

Lamar, who arrived later, caught the ball with one hand and scored two more points with one force.

22:15！

As the first quarter drew to a close, the offense of both teams continued unabated. Both sides used 100 per cent energy and looked like they were playing the game as if it were the seventh game of the finals.

By the time there were only fifteen seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides were at 28:20. At this time, the Knicks led by eight points, which made the Lakers fans present very dissatisfied, and some extreme fans even began to boo the Lakers players.

Watching the Lakers fighting in the nest, Lamar was naturally very happy.

Lamar was slowly dribbling the ball.

This is the last chance to attack, and Lamar is going to exhaust that last moment.

The Lakers also realized it and hurriedly set up their defense. Karl Malone stood in front of Lamar, and his defense against Lamar so far in this game was simply terrible, and in just one quarter of the game, Lamar had already scored 18 points.

This result has nothing to do with Ma Long's pre-match rhetoric, so this time he paid 200% attention to prove that he could.

But Lamar didn't want to give Malone this chance to prove himself, and the lightning step of stealing the division from Wade did not hesitate, so that Karl Malone could only retreat helplessly.

Lamar then unleashed his fastest speed and rushed forward, crashing into Karl Malone's arms. When his speed was at his peak, Lamar jumped up and lifted his hands upwards after performing a maneuver in the air.

The basketball spun around the hoop twice before sliding into the net.

"Toot!"

The whistle blew at the end of the first quarter.

Lamar's strength gave Phil Jackson a big headache and at the same time declared his own confidence in the inevitability of this match.

As he walked to the bench, Lamar was a triumphant hero, receiving cheers from his teammates and, of course, the small group of die-hard Knicks supporters who had come from New York.

And so many Hollywood big names will naturally not all show up to support the Lakers, Lamar and his Knicks also have a large market share among these big stars.

"Well done, Lamar!" Van Gundy walked over and gave Lamar a high-five with excitement.

Lamar's series of wonderful performances just now had already fascinated Van Gundy, and he asked himself that Michael Jordan could not be as easy as Lamar if he wanted to do this.

"Boys, you're doing a great job!" Van Gundy didn't hesitate to praise his words.

Although Lamar took the vast majority of his shots in the first quarter, causing his teammates to have fewer opportunities to perform, Van Gundy still saw everyone's efforts clearly.

The game is like that, and the contribution to the team is not necessarily all about scoring.

Billups' risky saves, Dampoter's protection of rebounds, Battier's outside defense and response, and Wade's assault are all important factors in the Knicks' lead today.

Lamar, who was the most eye-catching in the first quarter, was more like a representative elected by these teammates, standing up for the cheers on their behalf.

The Knicks were elated because they were ahead, but the Lakers weren't so easy. Playing at home, with such a luxurious lineup, it is a great irony for everyone to be beaten by the opponent and unable to raise his head.

Kobe Bryant's performance in the first quarter of the game was already wonderful, with 10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, which is definitely a statistic that can satisfy anyone if it is placed in normal times, but at this time, compared with Lamar's strong play, it will be overshadowed.

The most frustrating of all was Karl Malone, who had vowed to kill Lamar in this game, but what is it now? Lamar looked very easy, very easy to score on his head.

Judging by the first quarter of the game, Karl Malone's vaunted defense didn't seem to pose even the slightest threat to Lamar. This made Malone's self-confidence collapse all at once, and he didn't even dare to look at Jackson's stern gaze at this time. As soon as he touched it, he would feel like his internal organs had been shot through by Jackson.

"That's not what I wanted! Are you going to make Mr. Buss feel like all his money was wasted? You're getting the highest salary in the league, you're enjoying the praise and cheers of all the Lakers fans, are you going to give back everything you get with this kind of performance?" Jackson changed his usual mild image and scolded his team with a frosty face.

In fact, Jackson himself knows that there is no problem with his team so far in this game, and the key to the team's falling behind so much is because Lamar's form is so good. In the first quarter, he hit all the shots.

It is precisely because of Lamar's excellent play that the other players of the Knicks have also played their best. The Lakers' performance, although not bad, was suppressed.

"Luiz, Rick, Derek and the three of you came on in the second half. At the start of the second half, we focused on Shaq. Shaq, don't be stingy with your strength when you get on the court, and blast those inside Knicks to scum for me!"

"Derek, you and Kobe Bryant try to slow down the Knicks as fast as possible. ”

"If Lamar is still on the pitch, Luis, Rick, you two have to keep him under control. If he's going to make a shot, he's going to have to make a decisive foul and disrupt his offensive rhythm!"

"If Lamar doesn't play, Luiz, you and Shaq will have to protect the rebounds. Karl, Gary, Joe, you three go off the court first, and I'll get you on the court with five minutes left in the second quarter. Now I want you to find a way to restrain your opponent as soon as possible!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was surprising that Jackson actually replaced Scola, Fox and Fisher, and the Lakers also played a positional offense. And Kobe, who was still pinned on by Phil Jackson in the first quarter, actually played the role of playmaker on the court.

The most surprising thing is that Jackson actually replaced Karl Malone, so who should the Lakers defend Lamar next?

The Lakers replaced three main players, and the Knicks were more thorough, except for Darms, a Haitian monster with infinite physical ability, who was left on the court, and the other main players were all replaced.
