I'm sorry that the number of words in the update in recent days is much less than last month, and I've been very busy when I just returned to the company recently, and I'll change it after a while when it's not so busy.

……

The second half of the game begins.

I really don't know what D'Antoni thinks, Liu Ren was put on the bench again.

It's not such a way to rest!

Liu Ren was a little depressed, and D'Antoni seemed to be telling him to play health ball at the beginning of the season.

The health ball is a good thing, a good magic weapon to prolong your career, but buddy is only 22! Playing yarn health balls!

However, Liu Ren did not show his physical strength in front of D'Antoni, and he still obeyed the arrangement.

Liu Ren was pressed on the rest bench by D'Antoni, after all, the situation was still favorable, and D'Antoni felt that if he could keep it, Liu Ren would not have to play in the second half.

In the second half, the Lakers sent players were LaVine, Kobe, Korver, Green, and Whiteside.

The Knicks sent Louis Williams, Shambaugh, Louis Armonds, Seraphim, Lopez Jr.

The third quarter started with the Knicks' possession, with Luis Armonds and Lopets Jr. going to cover their teammates off the ball and draw the Lakers' defensive attention away, and Louis Williams easily singled LaVine inside.

Louis Williams managed to get Whiteside's attention and then sent the ball to Lopez Jr., who hit a close-range shot.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant was frantically defended by Louis Armondson! Kobe Bryant, who was hot in the first half, also shot a big shot under the defense of Armonders this time.

This time the Lakers were really unprepared, and Kobe Bryant didn't even beat this Louis Armondson!

The ball bounced straight out at the front of the basket, and Lopez Jr. grabbed the defensive rebound!

Although Louis Armondson is a defensive player, it is much worse than Wade's agile footwork and defensive movements.

Hell, Whiteside had too much confidence in Kobe, otherwise he would have been able to secure an offensive rebound even though the ball bounced a little far.

Louis Williams quickly counter-attacked to score two points.

It's Kobe Bryant attacking again.

It was difficult for him to find the most comfortable angle for his shot in the face of Luis Amondez, so he could only choose to tilt his body and force the shot!

Still not entering! The Knicks players quickly contracted, blocked the inside line and grabbed the defensive rebound, and they all saw that as long as they didn't wrap Kobe, Kobe Bryant wouldn't pass the ball!

The opening two rounds set the tone for the game at the start of the third quarter.

The Knicks' defense gradually increased, and the Lakers' offense became more and more difficult, and the game played two minutes and 17 seconds of the third quarter, and the score of the two teams had become 79-75.

In just over two minutes, the Knicks hit a small orgasm of 8-2! There are only 4 points left!

D'Antoni finally couldn't take it anymore and called the first timeout of the third quarter.

……

"I've found a problem, Shaq." Barkley was a little incredulous.

"What's the problem?" O'Neill replied casually, he was melancholy, Liu Ren's playing time in the game this year has been reduced a lot! The data is also average, and there is no way to blow it up as much as last season.

"The extent of Bryant's decline this year is incredible!" Barkley said incredulously, "I feel like Kobe Bryant has slipped even more this season than the year he just came back from injury!" ”

O'Neal was stunned for a moment, looked at Kobe's average data per game and said, "No, right? I think Kobe's data this year is not bad! Not much changed from last season. ”

"I thought so at first, but if you look closely, Kobe's shooting percentage has dropped too much this year, and it's all high scoring in exchange for a lot of shots."

O'Neal is silent, even Kobe Bryant is old?

……

……

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked first, and Bryant was instructed to pass the ball more.

Kobe Bryant was defended several times in a row, and he was very unhappy with 4 of 0 at the beginning of the third quarter, but he still listened to D'Antoni's arrangement, and Whiteside played a block and dismantle.

Whiteside and Kobe cut into the inside after blocking and dismantling, Kobe and the inside line with the pass is really powerful, in Whiteside is the most suitable position to directly receive the ball and dunk and have a chance to dunk the ball to Whiteside.

However, Lopez Jr. hugged Whiteside directly, preferring to foul rather than let Whiteside dunk.

Apparently Lopez Jr. knows that Whiteside's free throws are very bad!

Whiteside walked to the free-throw line and was lucky, hitting one of two free throws.

Knicks offense, Knicks lineup, except for Louis Williams, other people's offensive ability is touching, and Louis Williams has a bad hand today, except for counterattacking and fast breaking, other ways to score are not good.

So, Lopets Jr. wanted to pass the ball and rushed into the interior like a dynamite bag, looking like he was playing with his life.

Of course, Whiteside will not back down, standing on the inside line and jumping in place, the cylinder does not move, and it is well blocked in front of Lopez Jr., and the two hit each other hard.

When the whistle blew, Whiteside and the Lakers players both thought it was an offensive foul, because Whiteside jumped up and didn't press anyone, didn't even bend over and block, and raised his hand up high to block Lopez Jr.'s shooting lane, which Lopez Jr. crashed into and definitely hit people with the ball.

But! The gesture made by the referee is a defensive foul!

"Watts? Make no mistake! Whiteside glared at the referee, who ignored him.

Yes, Whiteside was speechless, it was not once or twice that he encountered such a situation this season, he used to see James, Anthony and other players with outstanding stature in the same position who would not have a whistle if they were not hit until they bleed, and at that time they were still teasing, and now it falls on him, which feels a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Whiteside honed overseas for more than a year and learned to be calm, but it was back then that he definitely started to roar again, and then was whistled for a technical foul by the referee.

Whiteside has been the Lakers' main player with the fewest technical fouls in the last two years, fewer than Clarkson.

Whiteside was awarded a second foul, and Whiteside only had two fouls in the third quarter, which shows that Whiteside's fouls in the previous game were quite good, of course, not playing much in the second quarter is also one of the reasons.

Lopets Jr. was sent to the free throw line, also one of two free throws! The difference is still 4 points.

Whiteside didn't seem to suffer much damage from the foul this time, and the Lakers turned to attack, at which point LaVine was a little red-eyed.

It's the Lakers offense again, and Kobe Bryant's extremely unstable state makes the Lakers players feel very difficult to play when facing a strong team like the Knicks.

Kobe Bryant has played more iron this year, and Lakers players have become accustomed to it.

But today, Kobe Bryant's state is very uncomfortable! The state in the first quarter was very stable, and the shooting was accurate, but in the third quarter, the opponent's defense was not as good as the first quarter, and he actually continued to play iron, and the Knicks saw that Kobe was not accurate, and he was not so strict with his bag after the blocking, and the blocking Kobe Bryant just now did not completely help Whiteside pull the space away, otherwise Lopez Jr. would not have been able to foul Whiteside.

Seeing Bryant once again struggle with Louis Armondson's defense, Bacchus suddenly exclaimed, "I see!" ”
