At the same time, Anthony found that the triangle attack can be completely led by him, and his teammates don't even need to understand, because of the change in the running position of the triangle offense, they are already very proficient in the usual training, but they usually don't understand that people can make the ball flow smoothly, and now they have become a person who understands, as long as they have their own command, it is not difficult to complete the triangle attack!

But Haugist, who is also a master of tactics, also saw the clues, the Knicks' offense actually faintly had a bit of a triangle offense, Porzingis has a great threat to the basket in the low post, and the defender's position can only be between him and the basket, but then the outside line can easily pass the ball to him, and he can easily find other outside players, if this outside player and Lopez do a no-ball cover, it will be more likely to appear empty, with him as the offensive axis, the Knicks' triangle offense has a foundation, I just don't know if the Knicks' offense just now was an unconscious accident or a planned action.

Although Anthony's overall strength is superior, Haugist has always believed that the biggest threat to the Knicks is Porzingis rather than Anthony, but an experienced and powerful player like Anthony is the key to activating Porzingis.

So Hougist began to think about how to strangle the Knicks' triangle offense in the cradle, and he had to do his best to lock up Anthony, but Porzingis's offensive axis must also be solved, since it can't be solved on the defensive end, it can only be solved from the offensive end, and now Porzingis doesn't have many fouls, only the two made in the first quarter, and he must find a way to get Porzingis back into foul trouble as soon as possible before their triangle offense runs smoothly.

It seems that he has to sacrifice himself again, Hougist made up his mind to dribble to the front court, gave Yi Jianlian a look and asked him to come out to cover, Porzingis naturally followed, Haugist wanted to use the cover to get rid of Anthony and singled out Porzingis, but Anthony followed behind him and formed a trap with Boshen.

Haugist struggled to distribute the ball to Yi Jianlian, who rushed inside with the ball and gave the ball to Turner in the face of Lopez's supplementary defense, and Turner finally managed to put the ball in the basket and caused a foul on Lopez. Turner threw his fist in celebration, but Haugist was not happy, what was the use of killing Lopez, his ability to respond was far less strategic than Porzingis.

Turner was in a good mood after the successful dunk, and the feeling also came, and even the free throws that had been hit in a row before could be easily thrown into the basket. At 55:47, the Lakers led by eight points again.

The Knicks organized the offense, Anthony took the initiative to direct his teammates to pass and run with his eyes, his teammates really had a bit of a tacit understanding, running decently, Vujacic easily gave the ball to the high post Porzingis again, and Lopez took the initiative to set up cover for Anthony in the corner, Turner's position error blocked Haugist, Anthony easily cut in and stole an empty basket.

The quality of the opposing offense has improved again, the time is getting tighter, and if they can't disrupt their triangle offense in time, the Lakers' defense will become more and more passive. Haugist called a high double cover in the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian and Turner sandwiched Anthony in the middle, and Hoggist got a chance to face Porzingis alone.

Hoggist didn't know if fellow rookie Porzingis was as experienced in defense as he was, so he decided to give him a try. Hougist dribbled and nodded at Boshen outside the three-point line, Boshen didn't move, after all, his height and arm span advantage were too obvious, but he was afraid that Hoggist would jump in the air first and shoot Boshen and then jump up and block it would interfere with the ball.

Seeing that the worship was ineffective, Hoggist lowered his center of gravity to break through in search of a close foul, and Porzingis quickly stepped back to avoid physical contact while enveloping Haugist in his defensive range. Seeing that Boshen's retreat left a certain distance, enough for himself to fully run and jump, Haugist accelerated and flew directly to prepare to block Porzingis.

Porzingis, of course, was not willing to be blocked like this, and jumped vertically to prepare to block Haugist. Boshen's tall and elongated arms were completely enough to protect the basket, but when the ball was about to crash into Boshen's hands, Haugist's hand holding the ball suddenly pulled back to dodge. Porzingis didn't want the duck to fly away, so he pressed down his arm and chased the ball to block it.

Haugist was waiting for the opportunity when Porzingis couldn't hold his breath, seeing Boshen's arm pressed down, Haugist's ball carrier changed the dunk to a pick-up basket, and sent the back of his hand up, Porzingis couldn't dodge and slapped the back of Haugist's hand, and the referee decisively blew a foul.

Hougist walked to the free-throw line and breathed a sigh of relief, and one more foul would have put Porzingis off the court first, and it wasn't too late! At this time, Haugist misses Embiid very much, and if Embiid is there, he won't have to work so hard to deal with Porzingis.

Haugist hit the first free throw, teammates came up to high-five and encouraged, Yi Jianlian asked in Chinese, "Why are you trying so hard to deal with Porzingis?" ”

Hoggist frowned and replied: "He's the biggest problem, we can't limit his offense and strategy on the defensive end, they're about to play a triangle attack now, so I have to scare him down, he goes down to the opponent's offensive system to completely collapse!" ”

"You said it earlier! I'll be able to fix him! Yi Jianlian said confidently.

"You?" Haugist couldn't believe his ears.

Yi Jianlian didn't have time to say that the referee had signaled that he was going to prepare a free throw, Yi Jianlian retreated to the side to grab a rebound, and at the same time said to Haugist: "Believe me, the next ball will be handed over to me to singled him!" ”

Hougist scored the second penalty and guarded Anthony back. The Knicks settled into the position, and Kobe, who is also familiar with the triangle offense, directly intercepted Vuacic's pass on the defensive end, and Voujacic was whistled for a foul by the referee during the counter-robbery, and the Lakers drove the ball to the sideline. Coming to the front court, Yi Jianlian was very resolute in the low position, Haugist handed the ball to him as promised, Yi Jianlian forced Porzingis with his back, and pushed to the basket to force his back dunk again. Porzingis didn't dare to reach under the basket, and Ren Yi Jianlian completed the dunk on his head.

"Didn't I teach you this trick in the first half, how could he make a second mistake!" Hoggist said helplessly.

"But if he doesn't foul me, it's like picking up a bag, as long as he can maintain this stable scoring efficiency, he also doesn't have to be afraid of their triangle attack!" Yi Jianlian reminded.

"You're saying you compare them to see who gets the most points?" Hougist scratched the back of his head, "It's a good idea, but there's still an apprentice waiting to learn to defend on the bench!" Isn't this a slap in the face! ”

"You are confused, brother, we can still defend their attacks with our efforts, my body-crushing invincible back hit Porzingis can't solve it, I hit two or three in a row, he will definitely be unable to help but foul!" Yi Jianlian said confidently.

It's rare for Yi Jianlian to be so confident in the NBA, just believe him. Hoggist thought for a moment, nodded and ran to the backfield.

Looking back, Porzingis wanted to use his height to beat Yi Jianlian as a retaliation, but Yi Jianlian didn't move in the paint area as if he had taken root, but he didn't expect Porzingis to do all this to attract defensive attention for Vujasic, who cut in the middle. However, this did not play much role, although Kobe Bryant was in the grade, but the defense of Vujacic was more than enough, under Kobe's close defense, Vujacic was unstable when he received the ball, and the ball was thrown out of bounds directly by him in the process of layup.

Fortunately, the opposing guard line is poor, and to give them an average level of defender, this triangle attack is probably about to take off. Horgist let out a sigh of relief, dribbled to the front court, and quickly transferred the ball to Kobe Bryant on the weak side after a fake transmission, and Kobe hoisted the ball to Yi Jianlian again.

Yi Jianlian used the same way to cut down two points again, and Porzingis's hand was already raised in the air, but he still backed down in the end.

"Hey, this guy can really bear it, he didn't make a move like this!" Yi Jianlian muttered.

"Fortunately, their triangle attack is still in a pure natural and wild state, and we can still deal with it at the moment. But Brother Yi, you have to speed up the progress, their cooperation will become more and more smooth! Hoggist instructed.

Yi Jianlian nodded, "I don't believe it either, there are still young people as calm as you these days!" ”

The Knicks suffered successive setbacks on the offensive end, and the ball finally returned to Anthony, who rarely rekindled his enthusiasm for the triangle offense, and now he doesn't really want to go back to the brainless singles mode, so he continues to use his eyes to direct his teammates to run.

Under the gesture of Anthony's eyes, Porzingis mentioned that the high post covered for him, although Haugist was worried that Anthony would take advantage of the cover jumper, but he chose to defend around the back with his long arm advantage, but he didn't want Anthony to distribute the ball to Calderon in the bottom corner before the cover, and he changed to use the cover to cut without the ball.

Fortunately, Hougist chose to defend around the back, Anthony ran to the low post to receive Calderon's pass and turned over to make a shot, but saw Haugist behind him raise his long arm and prepare to block, Anthony forcibly distributed the ball to Porzingis who followed up in the middle in order to pursue reasonableness.

Porzingis took advantage of Yi Jianlian's attention to be attracted to the basket by Anthony when he squeezed in sideways from the top of the arc, received the ball and prepared to fly to dunk, Horgist quickly turned around and jumped twice after landing regardless of the danger, intending to forcibly block Boshen. Coincidentally, Porzingis was about to make a ruthless shot, wanting to vent his frustration with both hands, the dunk with the ball in his hands was not only shorter than the one-handed dunk, but also inconvenient to dodge in the air, although Hogist's movements were reluctant but after all, he was physically talented, and finally touched the ball before the ball approached the top of the basket.

It's just that Haugist's preparation was not sufficient, and he just poked the ball out of Porzingis' hand and failed to put on a wonderful volleyball cap. Yi Jianlian, who was chasing back, hurriedly collected the rebound.

"Big brother, don't get distracted! Don't think that if you hit him two balls, he will be demoralized and take a walk on the court! Hoggist criticized.

Yi Jianlian returned the ball to Hoggist, patted his chest to show his omission, and expressed his gratitude to Hougist for helping him make up for the defense.

Coming to the frontcourt, the Lakers continued to pass the ball with the route of Hoggist, Kobe, and Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian continued to push the ball with his back in the low post. At this time, Vujacic shrank back to help Porzingis help defend Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian is not a brainless person, and directly gave the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was empty, Kobe received the ball and jumped decisively, but he actually hit a piece of iron!

Yi Jianlian had an unexpected gain when he was stuck with Porzingis, because Boshen was already taller than Yi Jianlian, and when he grabbed the board in the card position, he raised his elbow and inadvertently swept the corner of Yi Jianlian's eyes, and suddenly red blood flowed down the corners of Yi Jianlian's eyes. The referee hurriedly stopped the game, and although Porzingis acted unintentionally, he still received a foul, and Boshen, who had four fouls on his back, had to sit on the bench for the rest of the third quarter. Yi Jianlian was taken back to the locker room by Fan Xiaohong to treat the wound, but Hoggist came to Kobe's side and teased: "Boss, you are getting more and more character now!" Shooting opportunities in the open position are like dung, and you really don't care about the scoring opportunities given for nothing! You have to create a difficulty score for yourself to enjoy it, right? ”

"You kid don't play tricks with me, who hasn't missed a vacant spot yet, can you guarantee that you won't miss a single ball in the next shot? If you can do it, the limited-edition convertible Camaro in my garage is yours! "The competitive Kobe Bryant actually wanted to make a bet with Hoggist.

"And what if I lose it?" "It won't go without punishment, will it?" ”

"From now on, how about you treat the whole team to a big meal for every goal you concede? If you lose, you just owe a few meals, but if you win, you can get a sports car! With a small and a big one, you can't count yourself as a loss! A smile appeared on Kobe's grim face, "Do you dare to accept this challenge?" Don't make me look down on you! ”

"What's so rare about this, as long as you don't lose it, right?" Hogist confirmed.

Kobe nodded, "That's right, as long as you don't miss the ball the rest of the time!" ”

"That's too easy, why don't I make a move? If you don't buy or sell, you don't kill, and if you don't make a move, you will never lose it! Hahaha! Hougist was impressed by his wit.

"It's beautiful, I've really never seen such a brazen person! If you really don't do it once, then I'm going to clean you up hard, and I still have a lot of pranks in my head that I haven't played against you! Bryant threatened.
