At halftime, the Knicks cautiously strategized for the second half.

If the score is so deadlocked, the team will let Lehi defend Kobe Bryant, and then use defense to lead the offense, and strive to play a wave of high-intensity offense and defense to win the game.

The Lakers' setup was also surprisingly similar, except that Bryant offered to defend Lehi, and Radmanovic had already committed three fouls in the first half.

Radmanovic moved too slowly, and the Lakers had a few hands to prepare.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the adjustment of the defense did not enter for the time being, and the Knicks did not change, but the Lakers let Odom go to attack more, and he was the most advantageous point for the Lakers, and this choice was indeed right.

Odom's offensive efficiency is also good, but the Knicks' outside attack is still sharp.

Only three minutes into the third quarter, Radmanovic was fouled again, and the Lakers were forced to change early, except for Kobe Bryant to lead the defense of Li Overseas and replace it with a faster-paced substitute player Morris Evans.

The Knicks also made adjustments, and Lehi also began to target Kobe.

Previously, because of Rademanovic's height, it was Marbury who was defending Kobe, and because Rademanovic went down, it was more reasonable for Lehi and Marbury to switch defenses.

In other words, the adjustment of the Lakers was deliberately forced by Lehi with offense.

Kobe Bryant is a very passionate player for basketball, whether it is offensive or defensive, he has excellent anticipation ability in defense, and is not afraid of physical confrontation, and is very good at using his body reasonably.

Unlike Artest, who has been entangled in his body, Kobe Bryant is more purposeful, and after taking the position with him, Lehi also feels threatened.

Lehi has also practiced his anticipation skills, but what he is best at is using his physical confrontation to interrupt the rhythm of the opponent, and he is conscientious and seizes every opportunity.

After the two compete with each other, the shooting rate can be reduced, and this kind of offense and defense are constantly fighting against the masters, and the consumption is great at the same time.

At this time, the strength of the team is reflected, and when the consumption is large, Lehi can choose to let his teammates attack, but the teammates around Kobe Bryant are not so powerful.

And the way the two play is also a little different, when the game is booming, Kobe Bryant is more willing to take over.

So he and Lehi had a fierce confrontation for a quarter and found that the Lakers were actually behind.

Kobe Bryant is still recuperating and can't play for too long, but sitting on the bench is worrying, especially after the Knicks hit Crawford, who hit two more three-pointers to widen the gap between the two sides.

Fortunately, the Lakers' bench was also particularly effective in this game, with Famar and Vujacic also hitting three-pointers.

After the main force returned to the court, Kobe Bryant was also excited, he was Li Hai's predecessor, and he won a lot more honors than Li Hai, but when he encountered an opponent like Li Hai, he was still high-spirited.

Just like the seniors who met Lehi when he was young, and after becoming famous, he also wants to fight with rising stars, and as long as he is there, he wants to defeat all opponents.

When he came up, he hit Lehi strongly, but Lehi concentrated his attention, kept intervening, and almost locked the space at the moment when the opponent shot.

Just came up and played like this, Kobe Bryant was also a little willful, but the ball was thrown out but it was iron.

In the Knicks' offense, Lehi also got the ball outside, but after he squeezed two steps inside from his back, he passed the ball to Francis, who cut inside, and Francis made a layup that caused Odom's foul.

The Lakers were not such a good team defensively, and at this time, they worked hard with the Knicks, and there were a lot of foul problems.

In the next offense, Marbury caused Bynum's foul again, and Bynum was already the fifth time, so he was replaced again not long after he was replaced.

Kobe Bryant saw that the situation was wrong, and he gritted his teeth to break through, he didn't go, and the Lakers really didn't know who to play, and at the critical moment, Odom and others were a little unreliable.

Lehi's speed is faster than Kobe's, Kobe Bryant's breakthrough can also keep up, what is easy to go wrong is Kobe's feint when attacking, Lehi has to go all out to withstand Kobe, and sometimes there is no way to know that it may be a feint.

Fortunately, his fouls were still well controlled, and only three times in the fourth quarter, which was enough.

Under the interference of Lehi, Kobe's shooting percentage has dropped a lot compared to the first half, and he is also anxious to see that the score has been behind, but the more this is the case, the more the shooting is iron.

At 3:22, the Lakers' Evans hit a three-pointer to help the team chase the score to only 4 points, but then Lehi went straight to the basket under the cover of his teammates, and Bynum, who had just been replaced for less than 1 minute, made six fouls, and Kobe's face was black.

Defense and fouls don't necessarily have to do so, and Bryant doesn't foul as often as others when defending Lehi, but the rest of the Lakers can't.

The Knicks' ability to make fouls is also a league must, and their backcourt impact is too strong, so sometimes it is common to encounter a good interior hat.

Seeing that his teammates were not strong, Kobe Bryant almost dominated the team's offense in the last 3 minutes.

The Knicks were also unequivocal in their ability to get the ball and Kobe tried to split the ball to players who were ambushed outside the three-point line, but neither Smush Parker nor Odom hit.

At 59 seconds, Bryant caused Lehi to foul again, but the Lakers still trailed by four points after hitting both free throws.

At 46 seconds, Eddie Curry hit an inside shot, and without Bynum, Eddie Curry seemed to score more easily.

With 29 seconds left, Bryant hit a two-point shot under Lehi's defense.

But now in addition to offense, they also need to successfully defend, and when the Knicks attack, Lehi takes the initiative to get the ball, which is still the Knicks' most common blocking routine.

Bryant went all out to bypass the cover of Channing Frye and jumped up to block Lehi's shot, but Lehi still seized the short gap to hit the shot, and the clock was only 9 seconds left.

The Lakers miscalculated, and they stubbornly fouled them, but Lehi hit both free throws to end their hopes.

107:101, after four quarters of hard fighting, the Knicks are still even better, from the data point of view, Kobe Bryant 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Lehi 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, the two can be said to be comparable, but the Knicks won the Lakers.

That's the difference between teams, the difference between a top team and a playoff team, and the Knicks are clearly stronger. (To be continued.) )
