Chapter 715 [God's Own Son]

The Lakers replaced the inside twin towers and Kobe, and the Knicks also sent Zhou Xuan and Nick Young, but the inside line was not replaced, and Parsons stayed on the court.

One side is the elite to do its best, and the other side still has reservations, and the superior judgment is made.

Lakers fans don't know much about Parsons, only that this little brother is a second-rounder, and he turned out to be powerful. In the face of Kobe's defense, Parsons hit two three-pointers and a breakaway layup. Kobe Bryant thought that this guy was a marginal person, and he always wanted to help defend on the weak side when Zhou Xuan broke through, but Parsons shot 3 of 4.

Nick Young also received a pass from Zhou Xuan before the end of the game and scored a layup past Ci Shiping.

At halftime, the Knicks led by 26 points, 72-46.

During the break, Su Qun said: "Except for Battier and Billups, the Knicks players are all unsatisfactory role players in other teams, some are called tumors, some have been cut, and there are second-round rookies, and other teams may not be able to play." Even Chandler was sold off in the Wasp and Bobcat. This group of people to the Knicks under the organization of Zhou Xuan turned out to be a championship team. ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Billups is not in good shape now, with a 38% shooting rate, and the coach rarely arranges for him to play double guard with Zhou Xuan." Just shooting three-pointers, Matthews is more practical than him. ”

Su Qun said: "After all, he is old, and when he waits for next season, the Knicks will have to bring in reinforcements at the point guard position, Zhou Xuan has no problem playing 35 minutes, and he has to have a good substitute, Jeremy Lin is not in the squad, I don't know when he will be able to play for the Knicks." ”

The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was unusually dull, and the coach was not demoralizing. When a new coach takes over, Bernie will not leave this season and may be purged next season. A lot of new coaches like to use their own teams, McMillan has his own staff with the Trail Blazers, and two of them are also unemployed.

Kobe Bryant was communicating with Howard, and the people next to him sounded like they were arguing, because Kobe Bryant was not quiet. "Dwight, you have to change the defense, and if the defender breaks through and doesn't make up for it, they will shoot directly."

"What about the basket?"

"Rotate under the basket."

"Who's going to change?"

Kobe Bryant was speechless, and people hadn't seen him make up for the basket for a long time. The last time was to play the Cavaliers' finals and stretched his legs to crappy Yao Ming, except for this method, he couldn't guard the center.

Artest generally defends the baseline, and it is too late for him to run back to the basket at his speed. Now watching Atai run, it is like a football player comic, and it is enough for the protagonist to complete a memory throughout the whole field......

Gasol is also not fast, he will definitely be open when he fills the perimeter, and the big man will shoot.

Scola's jumper was a masterpiece, and in his final season with the Rockets, his mid-range shooting percentage dropped due to his teammates' lack of ability to attract packs, and now it's on the back burner. Letting the defenders defend against Chandler is the same as not defending them.

Since the discussion of tactics is useless, there is only the Cold War. Both Bryant and Howard turned their heads away from the press. The role players didn't express their opinions when they saw this scene, and the Lakers still had to rely on the stars to win, not them.

It's impossible for the Lakers to win in this situation, they don't even have the hard work. It seems that the Lakers can compete with the Spurs on the court, but they are not afraid of a slow team like the Spurs. The Knicks, on the other hand, are dominated by young people, and the role of veterans is not to start, but to teach young people experience.

In the second half, Zhou Xuan continued to play, and the outside line was Nick Young, Matthews, Anderson, and Blecher.

obviously led by a large score, but switched to a fast lineup that can shoot. D'Antoni also thinks backwards, thinking that the Lakers will be in a hurry to chase points, will fight for offense, and let the interior twin towers grab rebounds and then break fast. At this time, the small lineup can ensure the speed of returning to the defense, and the counterattack immediately after the defense can also cause the front court to be misplaced.

The two people on the interior who are not good at defense are also to lead the Lakers to attack the interior. In the first half, the Lakers made just two three-pointers. In the second half, the interior line was the main game, and in the final quarter, the Lakers fought for three points and gambled.

The Lakers sent the opening starters, Ci Shiping couldn't play a fast break as long as he was still on the floor, and it was not possible to rely on only two guards to run.

Looking at Blecher, the interior player he had been playing with in the past two years, Howard was very active in asking for the ball in the low post. Bryant was holding the ball on the perimeter but didn't have the same heart as him. Bryant was thinking, what if the opponent used foul tactics off the bench again? Blache isn't afraid of fouls anyway.

So Kobe Bryant didn't pass, and Gasol blocked and picked up in the high post, and then passed to the middle. Gasol didn't make a strong shot in the face of Nick Young's interference, and the high post responded with a pass to the bottom corner.

Matthews let go of Kobe Bryant to cover the bottom corner, Morris. Morris transferred the ball to 60 degrees, Zhou Xuan made up for Kobe, and the position was very fast, after being blocked, Zhou Xuan directly bypassed Howard and ran to 60 degrees, he expected that he would not be able to catch up with Morris, and he also knew that Bletcher could not defend it, once Bletche went out, let him dislocate Howard There was only one way to foul, and he could be beaten 2+1.

Kobe Bryant's three-point shot was off again, and his hand was not good. When his three-point shot first started, he didn't shoot much, and he needed three points today, and he shot very resolutely, hitting iron frequently, and his career three-point shooting rate was only 33. 6%, it is better to force a shot than to divide teammates.

Howard grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and Bleche immediately drew a foul and sent him to the free throw line.

Howard still hit one of two free throws and played steadily.

The Knicks mainly counterattacked, Ci Shiping defended Nick Yang with a loss of speed, the two are similar in height and have a big difference in flexibility. Matthews also didn't run slowly, and his tactics became very simple, grabbing the rebound, Zhou Xuan's long pass found his teammates to play alone. Nick Young was stunned today, singled out Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping, both of which ensured high efficiency.

The attention of the Lakers players was on Zhou Xuan, and by the time he realized that something was wrong, Nick Young had already scored 31 points.

The Knicks led by 21 points at 96-75 heading into the fourth quarter.

Zhou Xuan went down to rest, Billups, Matthews, Leonard, Parsons, and Chandler played five people, with a balance of offense and defense, and the four of them could shoot three points.

The Lakers still want to fight for the sake of home face, Carman, Kobe, and Gasol are on the court, and Howard goes down to rest.

The Knicks' shark-slashing tactics in the first three quarters allowed Howard to make 24 free throws, 14 of which he hit. The Lakers need someone who can pull more inside players.

As a result, the substitution was self-defeating, and Carman became a defensive hole. D'Antoni put Parsons as the main point of attack and played alone with the ball. Gasol is in charge of the basket and Carman has to defend the No. 4 position. Parsons made consecutive breakaways, scoring on a layup, then assisting Leonard on a throw-in before hitting a three-pointer from the perimeter.

Last season, the Knicks' fringe man burst Carman and extended the lead. At this time, Kupchek was depressed, and he thought that he had picked up a big bargain, but no one could prevent it. Karman's current form is the same as when he was named an All-Star.

The Knicks don't let their opponents do whatever they want on the defensive end, and Leonard is very successful in defending Kobe Bryant, barely getting past him, and always interfering in front of him. Chandler guarded the basket, Parsons was responsible for blocking the defensive guard, and Kobe Bryant couldn't easily cut points on his head.

After a while in the fourth quarter, Joan Barry lamented, "Parsons is a replacement for Jamison, about the same height, and he shoots better." The Knicks are forgiven for not renewing Jamison's contract. ”

Van Gundy said: "And he's younger than Jamison, he's more aggressive, and he's a little bit harder defensively. I heard that the two often communicated when they were in the Nix, which is really a typical example of the apprentice master having no food. ”

With a big lead, Zhou Xuan did not play again, and the Lakers replaced all the main forces four and a half minutes in advance, giving up the game in shame.

Both sides were replaced by substitutes, and the Knicks directly let Stephenson play point guard in a cameo role, with Nick Young, Parsons, and Anderson and Scola on the outside.

This is still a strong offensive lineup, and the Lakers bench is completely unable to withstand it. Stephenson abused Dujon on the court, making two successful breakaways, scoring on a mid-range shot and an assist on Anderson's three-pointer.

Then Nick Young grabbed a three-pointer on the fast break. Parsons organizes the forward style of play, and takes on the playmaking task with Stephenson, attacking as if the score is behind.

Carman, Thackeray, Jamison, Meeks, and Dujon were blown up. Aside from Meeks, the Lakers have no player who is good at defense, and he is only average, not a defensive expert, and plays off the bench when he is with the 76ers.

The Knicks went on a 13-0 run to extend the margin to 41 points.

In the final moments, Jamison scored a low single, Meeks hit a three-pointer, and the Knicks still won by a big score, 129-93.

Bryant returned to the locker room directly after being substituted, without saying hello to the interim coach and teammates. Lakers fans also left the game early, not wanting to see the end.

Yang Jian commented: "After Zhou Xuan scored 72 points, the Knicks humiliated the Lakers again, and this seems to have become his blessed land. ”

Su Qun said: "Last season, Zhou Xuan made more free throws and won the scoring title, some people say that he is the son of President Stern, I think he is more like God's own son, and he is a lone seedling in a million hectares." No matter who gets to the Knicks, it seems that they can play well, and they are not well-known but very practical. If this state continues, maybe the Knicks can hit the Bulls' 72-win record. Then they will work another miracle. ”

"I'm curious to know when the Knicks' opening streak will end," Yang said. It was a tough game against Spurs, and I hope Zhou Xuan can lead the team to victory. ”

Zhou Xuan didn't play for long, reduced his shots in the second half, and got 22 points, 11 assists and 3 steals in 30 minutes, and didn't grab a rebound.

The most amazing performance was Nick Young, who scored 43 points, 2 rebounds and no assists, shooting very well from the field, 6-of-9 from three-point range.

Kobe Bryant only scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, hit 16 irons, and had an embarrassing 6 turnovers, and his shooting percentage was just 4 percent.

Battier only played 5 minutes, and Leonard has always been the main defense of Kobe, he didn't score much, 9 points and 4 rebounds, and his defense is getting better and better, maybe he will develop into a new generation of Kobe finishers in the future.
