Now that he is on the Knicks, partnered with former Sixth Man of the Year Louis Williams, Wade is naturally returning to his old ways, but this organization-based style of play allows him to play more comfortably and not have to take on such heavy scoring tasks.

Wade held the ball at the top of the arc, and it was Kobe Bryant who defended him.

The twilight of the year's first scoring guard and second scoring guard played each other, which made the fans cheer loudly.

Kobe Bryant averaged 22.5 points per game this season, the first in the Lakers team, which really surprised many people, and the surprise was not that Kobe Bryant scored so many points, but that Liu Ren averaged less than 20 points per game......

Wade averaged 15 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds per game in the first few games of this season, and the proper transition was very smooth, in fact, he was not a transformation, but he just regained his most comfortable style of play.

Wade wants to break through Kobe Bryant...... It's really not that easy, Kobe Bryant is old, and Wade is also old.

Wade beckoned Porzingis to come out and pick and roll, which is his most common style of play with the Knicks.

At the same time, the rest of the Knicks started to run, Louis Williams and Stoudemire looked for scoring opportunities, and Anthony used his off-ball blocking to draw away the defense and create scoring opportunities for Louis Williams and Stoudemire.

Porzingis is a great fit for pick-and-roll play, he has a wide scoring area, from the basket to beyond the three-point line, and he has a high percentage of open shots.

Wade borrowed Porzingis to block and go straight to the inside, Porzingis retreated to the top arc, Whiteside really didn't dare to let go of the rookie in front of him, and he was taken advantage of by Downs in the previous opening game, just because of contempt.

Whiteside is very helpless, there are more and more centers who like to pull out and shoot these years, especially the centers in the NBA in the past two years, one or two are too soft, but they all love to shoot three-pointers, which makes them traditional centers very uncomfortable.

Whiteside couldn't chase Wade, Kobe Bryant's legs were slow and he couldn't change the defense, and he couldn't catch up with Wade, Green could only make up for it, Stoudemire cut into the basket, Wade passed the ball just right, and Stoudemire quickly split and scored two points.

"Mobility, speed, athleticism from point guard to center are excellent and close to the top in the same position, and the Knicks are really difficult to deal with." Bickerstaff on the sidelines said in a deep voice.

"yes, especially their center, who has such a long range, and is so tall and so able to run and jump." D'Antoni was very covetous of Porzingis, "This player should have belonged to us. ”

"Haha, Mike, aren't you bothered enough?" Bickerstaff teased.

D'Antoni looked at the four boring inside lines behind the bench, well, Antetokounmpo was barely an inside lineman, and he was also helpless, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

……

Wade is very happy when he comes to the Knicks, this feeling of being valued by the team has not been felt for a long time, although he was nominally the core of the Heat team last year, everyone knows that the Heat management no longer sees him as a part of the future, just wants to rely on him to sell tickets.

And when he came to the Knicks this year, due to the tactical needs of the triangle offense, Wade was regarded as the core of dominating the ball, which gave Wade the confidence to face Kobe Bryant as a real superstar again.

The most critical thing is that Wade watched the Lakers' previous games and found that Kobe Bryant's recent form has been very inconsistent, Wade is more confident and more eager to beat Kobe.

If you really want to talk about it, the opponent Wade wants to beat the most is Kobe, not James.

But in the early part of Wade's career, Kobe Bryant was at his peak, basically Kobe Bryant had the upper hand, and Kobe Bryant also killed him one-on-one in front of him, which made him want to beat Kobe even more.

Later, during the period of the Heat's Big Three, Wade did win Kobe Bryant in the regular season for three consecutive years, with a total of 5 wins and 1 loss, but at that time, the leader of the Heat team was James, and Kobe was also against James, and Wade himself did not recognize that it was a defeat to Kobe.

Now, Kobe Bryant is also old, and Wade himself has become a veteran, although he came a little late, but now the teams of the two are the strongest in their respective divisions, and both of them are veterans, and their tactical position in the team is half a pound or two, and they are also in the right position, so Wade wants to beat Kobe Bryant even more.

Sure enough, as Wade expected, after the Lakers fell into a positional battle, the ball was first handed over to Kobe, and it was Wade who defended Kobe.

Wade saw something from the Lakers games before this season, that is, Kobe Bryant struggled against the defense, so as soon as Kobe got the ball, Wade immediately posted it.

The Lakers also feel strange about Kobe's current state, sometimes like a peak, sometimes like a pit, so Liu Ren was ready to rush to grab rebounds from the beginning, and Whiteside and Green were also ready.

Of course, this is the reason why Bryant was emboldened to strike iron during the Three Towers period, and now he is now.

Wade worked very Kobe's defense, Kobe's space was forced very tight, it was not easy for Wade to break through Kobe Bryant alone, and it was even more difficult for Kobe to find space to shoot under Wade's defense, which made the Lakers players more active in wanting to rush for rebounds, and even Clarkson, who was still opening up space in the bottom corner, was ready to rush in at any time.

Rebounds, good things, scoring more points in the Lakers is nothing, rebounding more is king! Being able to grab rebounds from Whiteside, Green, Liu Ren and others is a bull's pen!

Kobe Bryant's continuous feints did not shake Wade, if it was Wade at the peak of his physical fitness, Kobe's feints would easily shake out of space, but now Wade didn't want to jump up to cover Kobe Bryant at all, but resisted tightly.

In terms of strength, Kobe and Wade are really half a catty, Kobe Bryant's strength may be slightly stronger, after all, he is the little Marlon of the year, but Wade weighs more tonnage.

Now the rest of the Lakers are more actively preparing to grab rebounds, because Kobe Bryant can't pass the ball!

Kobe Bryant couldn't get rid of Wade, so his heart was crossed, he pulled up directly on the spot, and pulled out a backward jumper!

This scene has been seen many times by Lakers players this year, every time Kobe Bryant can't get rid of the defense, he shoots like this, and the shooting rate is not good many times, Liu Ren and Clarkson have rushed in, ready to share the pie under Green and Whiteside.

As for the two thin men of Stoudemire and Porzingis, they were squeezed into no room for survival by the two power monsters of Whiteside and Green.

Just when the Lakers had Whiteside and Green occupying the space under the basket, and Clarkson and Liu Ren who rushed in were about to grab rebounds, Kobe Bryant's mid-range strong shot fell straight to the basket and hit it hollow shot!
