582. Counter-bombardment
Kobe Bryant was in surprisingly good shape today, shooting a super high shooting rate under Wade's tight defense, and scored 5 consecutive goals on Wade's head at the beginning, allowing several guys from the Lakers who were ready to grab rebounds to save in a row.
It's a bit rigid!
Whenever Kobe Bryant is so rigid this season, the rest of the Lakers will be happy, and Wade can't prevent Kobe Bryant alone, so he can only be wrapped up by others.
The Lakers' positional play has always been simple, sharing the ball in the bag, Kobe Bryant began to score, and the passing mode switched at will, which was really like the peak.
Among them, the most benefited is naturally Whiteside, Liu Ren said that he was very sad and angry, Kobe Bryant's most powerful passing point is when he cooperates with the center, although Whiteside is not as good as O'Neal, and his offensive skills are not as good as Bynum, but his skills are better than O'Neal, and his body is stronger than Bynum, in this apocalyptic world of the center, the opponent is Porzingis, a small thin child, Whiteside is the same as the real O'Neal, when Kobe Bryant pulled Stoudemire over to help defend and couldn't take care of the inside, Whiteside repeatedly received Kobe Bryant's passes in a comfortable position, and he got up directly and dunked it.
The biggest difference between Whiteside and last season after he started is the tactical position, when rotating the lineup, Whiteside is surrounded by Nick Young, Jeremy Lin, Korver and others most of the time, all of whom are teammates who only rely on scoring to make the greatest contribution, and Whiteside is not greedy for scoring, so he can grab rebounds with peace of mind.
But in the starting stage, this position was originally Gasol's, Gasol was mainly responsible for scoring and organizing the offense, and Whiteside organized the offense, even if he didn't have the passing consciousness of Thackeray, so he was mainly responsible for bullying the opponent on the inside when the big forward was pulled away.
This is also the reason why Liu Ren's average points per game have plummeted this year, in addition to Kobe's shots have skyrocketed, the number of shots at the center position has skyrocketed.
Whiteside has too much size advantage in this era, unless it is a big man like Gasol Jr., Asik, and Adams, most of the time he has the greatest scoring opportunity on the court, Green and Kobe Bryant love to pass the ball to him, and Liu Ren can only occasionally pick up leaks, or play alone.
But if you can win, Liu Ren has won the scoring title last season, of course, he still wants to score a lot of points, but if he can win, this is not a problem, the Lakers' current strong lineup he doesn't know how long he can keep it, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to get more team honors, it will be difficult to complete the goal of becoming the first person in the history of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Magic are the masters who have won a lot of team honors in their early 20s.
The Lakers' offense played well, Kobe Bryant slashed 21 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, which was so strong that it exploded, but the Knicks did not fall behind.
The Knicks have been poor defensively this season, which they have long been prepared for, so their starting lineup relies on offensive waves to break down the opponent, and then uses a defensive second team to stabilize the advantage.
The heads-up duo of Louis Williams and Anthony, plus the pick-and-roll combination of Wade and Porzingis and the combination of the impactful Stoudemire are also strong on offense.
The Lakers' offensive ability is strong, the Knicks have long expected it, they are ready to use offense and the Lakers hard steel from the beginning, and they will not fall behind!
The offense of the two sides played very smoothly in the first quarter, the Lakers only replaced Clarkson with Korver to make the space bigger, and did not make other adjustments in the first quarter, and the Knicks only replaced Louis Williams, who had a similar role but did not feel very good today, and the two teams did not change anyone else in the first quarter, and they have been bombarding.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks still controlled the situation when Kobe Bryant played against the sky, and only trailed by three points at 37-40.
Both teams scored a bit of an exaggerated first quarter, but since the start of the new season, fans of the NBA's exaggerated team scoring have become accustomed to it.
And the teams with such exaggerated scores tend to be very average teams, as is the case with the Lakers, Hawks, Spurs, Knicks and other teams this season, and none of these teams have scored more than 25 points.
There is only one exception, and that is the Warriors, who rank third in the NBA in points per game, behind the Lakers and Knicks, and Curry......
……
Bryant enjoyed the cheers of the fans on the court.
Liu Ren said that he was very unhappy, why did these people boo when he scored, and those people cheered when Kobe Bryant scored, and he was called MVP?
Of course, Liu Ren knew that the fans would come to Madison Square Garden too often because of Kobe Bryant, but that still upset him.
The break ended, and the second quarter began quickly.
In the second quarter, D'Antoni sent LaVine, Nick Young, Korver,
D'Antoni is also very distressed, but there is no way, the senior management said, in the case of the team's performance is not affected, try to let Kobe Bryant have more opportunities to perform, so as to attract more attention from old fans, fans between the ages of 30 and 60 are the real main consumer group, and it is naturally Kobe Bryant who wants to see it.
The loss is that although Kobe Bryant is almost 38, he is still in good shape, and the team lineup is strong, so D'Antoni honestly did it according to the management's arrangement.
However, if you take care of Kobe Bryant, D'Antoni still has a headache, that is, Liu Ren's side, you can't patronize the boss, regardless of the team's little boss! Fortunately, Liu Renxin is relatively big, and he is happy when he sees the win, which makes D'Antoni not so exhausted.
The Knicks also had a big change, they sent JR-Smith, Shambaught,
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks attacked first.
JR Smith dribbled to the front court and made a three-pointer straight to the basket before LaVine could react.
Tie!
The Knicks' second team came on and quickly tied the score.
That's the Knicks' second lineup! It was a swinger who controlled the ball, and the others were very irritable defensively, and the two extremes in the same lineup really gave Fisher a spark.
Don't say it, Fisher's character is not discussed, Liu Ren found that he really has two brushes, otherwise he would not be the boss of the Lakers locker room when he was the Lakers, and he would not be the guy who made Durant and Westbrook willing to give up players in the Knicks.
To be reasonable, although Fisher has been holding the title of Zen master puppet in the past two years, Liu Ren, who has come over, knows that Fisher still has a Zen master behind him in the original time and space, but he has led the team to a very bad result, mainly because after the players have experienced a hellish 13-14 season, they don't have the heart to stay in the Knicks to play, they only care about brushing data, jumping jobs and getting big contracts, and there is no way to coach!
But the atmosphere in the Knicks team is quite good now, and the players are willing to sacrifice and fight for the championship that is not particularly far away.
This is normal, if a rookie coach encounters players who dare to sacrifice and struggle, he will naturally make rapid progress and get better and better, if he encounters a group of lifeless masters, he can't even see whether the coach is capable or not.
Offense and defense switch, Lakers offense.
LaVine withstood the pressure, although JR Smith is not a superstar, but the offensive ability that no one can prevent when the waves are made is still very famous in the NBA.
LaVine drove the ball into the Knicks' half, did as D'Antoni said, kept the tempo down, and then directed his teammates to run.
A group of guys on the opposite side are all physical fitness men, although the Lakers are not afraid of physical fitness, but the rhythm is obviously more helpful to the opponent's second lineup, and the Lakers only need to control the rhythm.
LaVine has recently been learning to control the rhythm with the Magic, which requires a lot of actual combat to simulate, so LaVine's playing time has increased a lot this year, which is also related to the Lakers' tendency to open up the difference this season.
Teammates have already run out of tactics, but LaVine's pass was due to JR-Smith's interference because the timing of the pass was wrong, not to mention, JR-Smith, a player with excellent physical fitness, in the case of concentrating on defense, really had a good effect, LaVine passed the ball to Korver's hands, and the following defense of Shambaugh had already chased over.
Shambaugh is a defensive defender, physical but not technical, defense is his forte, Korver has no chance to take Shambaugh, and there are only 7 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time.
When Korver was really thinking about how to shake off Shambaugh, he saw a man running from the top of the arc to meet him, and there was no defender two steps behind him.
What are you waiting for, Korwall passed the ball, the ball was in the hands of the opponent, Korver saw that this person was Nick Young, Louis Armonds, who was opposed to Nick Young, was constantly running in the middle and long distances, in this case, Louis Armonders couldn't keep up with Nick Young at all, so the defensive pressure on Nick Young is quite small now.
At the top of the arc, the time is only 3 seconds, but at this time, Nick Young will be afraid? Just kidding, don't have time to adjust the catch and shoot directly!
Hit!
"Yo, Kobe Bryant is in good shape today, and Kobe Bryant Jr. is also in good shape!"
Coach Zhang, who was commentating the game, began his blowing road again......
