Trailing 0-3, there is no precedent for a reversal in the NBA.

Therefore, for the Knicks, the fourth game of the Finals is more like a battle of faces, and the Knicks are going to refuse to be swept away, and they don't want to lose 4 games in a row in the Finals and be swept out.

In particular, Game 4 was held at Madison Square Garden, and on their home court, in a place where New Yorkers are proud, the Knicks obviously can't afford to lose two games in a row.

Jeff Van Gundy is also very aware of this, if the Knicks are really swept 0:4, he will even consider resigning, the public opinion environment in New York is too poor, he knows this very well, and it is now that the New York media has begun to scold.

If he really doesn't win by one goal, Jeff Van Gundy will be sprayed miserably.

So, in order not to be sprayed so badly, and for this well-paying job, Jeff Van Gundy decided to give it a go.

In the fourth game, Madison Square Garden Arena, before the game started, the league transported the O'Brien Cup, and the Lakers could win and win the championship at any time, and the league was ready.

David Stern was also on the sidelines, but he was greeted with endless boos at the Madison Square Garden arena.

This boo is not only aimed at the Lakers, but also at David Stern, New York fans have always been nonsensical, perhaps they think that David Stern did not help the Knicks, so the Knicks will play to this point.

On the court, the Lakers are already warming up, and on the way here, Qiao Hai has already watched the O'Brien Cup, and before the game is decided, the O'Brien Cup will stay in the players' tunnel, and most of the players and NBA workers have seen it.

Qiao Hai's idea is that since he has seen the O'Brien Cup, he will not bother the league staff to carry it back and forth, and the Lakers will take it away directly after this game.

So, the players finished their warm-up.

Qiao Hai gathered everyone: "Everyone should see the O'Brien Cup, the league staff is also working hard, in order to understand them, I think we should make persistent efforts and take away the O'Brien Cup directly, the New Yorkers have been making boos, but I think, after the baptism of Houston, Utah and San Antonio, everyone should not accept this level of boos interference, everyone work hard, we must win this game!" ”

The game started quickly, and Qiao Hai continued to pose as a regular starter.

On the Knicks' side, the starting point guard was replaced by Charlie Ward, the scoring guard was Ratlills Prewell, the small forward was Larry Johnson, the power forward was Marcus Camby, and the center was Patrick Ewing.

The starting line-up was adjusted again, with Sprewell switching to the No. 2 position and Aunt Larry Johnson starting.

This set of starters is a bit of a compromise, letting the aunt start and maintaining the offense.

Sprewell played the No. 2 position, just right to defend Kobe.

Inside Cambygaein, if decisive flanking, it is not a dream to limit O'Neal.

But the Knicks don't have anyone to help defend them.

That's the problem.

And at the beginning of the game, the Lakers took advantage of this, constantly giving O'Neal or Kobe Bryant the ball, and then attracting the pinch shot, and finally sharing the ball.

In this way, in the fourth game of the finals, the battle of life and death of the Knicks, the Lakers still played very strongly at the beginning, with countless opportunities on the offensive end and various goals scored.

On the Knicks' side, the adjustment of the starters to remove Alan Houston and replace Larry Johnson worked, Larry Johnson was in good shape, and with Ratlis Prewell, the Knicks' outside offense was booming.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points at 29:22.

The Lakers are still leading, and the boos at the Madison Square Garden Arena can't stop the Lakers from scoring.

However, Jeff Van Gundy saw hope for the Lakers on the offensive end, and he thought about it and made adjustments.

In the second quarter, Jeff Van Gundy directly put on a no-point guard lineup, and the five players on the court were Larry Johnson, Alan Houston, Ratlers Prewell, Marcus Camby and Patrick Ewing.

Looking at Jeff Van Gundy's lineup, this game was indeed a fight, and he didn't even go on the bench in the second quarter, and continued to be the main force.

The Lakers made a substitution, Scott Pippen was replaced to rest, Rick Fox came on in place of Pippen, the point guard was the old point guard Derrick Harper, plus O'Neal on the inside, and the fourth position was Bruce Bowen.

One big and four small, the Lakers have strengthened their defense on the outside.

For Bruce Bowen, he is a substitute in every game of the Lakers, but his role is no less than the starter, every time he appears, he has to face the opponent's arrow player, this game, Qiao Hai directly gave Bruce Bowen a task - to solve Sprewell.

Uncle Bao is against the madman, Qiao Hai actually has some bad taste, he wants to see if Uncle Bao is darker, or the madman is more explosive.

However, the current Uncle Bao is not so dark, and defending Spreville, he has some small moves at most.

For the Lakers, the finals have been played so far, tactically, they are no longer a little like a triangle offense, their offense is more of a superstar after the ball attracts the pinch, and then the tactics of sharing the ball, in a nutshell, may be the superstar ball-sharing tactics.

The effect has always been good, so Qiao Hai has continued to use it.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' offense was still efficient.

On the Knicks' side, Sprewell was killed by Bruce Bowen, and Aunt Larry Johnson was in good shape, but she single-handedly organized the Knicks' offense.

The Knicks were tenacious, and the Lakers were trying to widen the gap, but the Lakers were a bit inefficient in this game, and they only led by 11 points at halftime, which was far worse than the previous three games.

However, in the first three games, the Lakers really made a real effort in the third quarter.

The Knicks hurried to rest, and Jeff Van Gundy was clearly aware of that.

The Knicks lost by only 4 points in the second quarter, and Jeff Van Gundy thought that the Knicks' lineup worked well in the second quarter, so, in the third quarter, the Knicks continued the same lineup.

In the third quarter, the Lakers played with all their main forces, and Qiao Hai's goal was to establish a victory.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers did play their own offense.

O'Neal scored 2 points on the inside and then followed by a steal and another 2 points after the fast break.

On the Knicks' side, Patrick Ewing returned a 2-point from mid-range.

The Lakers followed up with a three-point shot from Derrick Fisher outside, and scored again, this ball O'Neal first attracted the bag and passed to the outside, Kobe Bryant broke through, and the Knicks' defense instantly gathered in the same place, Kobe Bryant scored a point, Fisher received the ball directly, and shot three-pointers.

The Lakers opened the game with a 7-2 lead, leading the Knicks by 16 points, and the difference was about to be opened......
