At the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks had the ball. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Knicks still put the ball in Ewing's hands, because Ewing's performance in the first half was too rebellious, so the Knicks naturally chose to let Ewing play alone as the method with the highest success rate.

However, as soon as Ewing received a pass from his teammate, Robert Hawley was ready to step forward to cover it, and he waited for Ewing's next move, if Ewing throws, then he can pounce on the defense in time at his current distance, and if Ewing chooses to pass, then Hawley can directly turn around and stare at his own people.

Ewing carried Tony a few times with his back, and then he jumped directly out of Tony's defensive range with a jump, and Holly on the side assisted in the defense in a very timely manner, and he pounced on Ewing as soon as he got rid of Tony, which also gave Tony enough time to keep up with the formation of a trap on Ewing.

And Tony also took advantage of the situation very wittily to directly block Ewing's passing route with his body, which also put Ewing in a dilemma.

Ewing can only shoot against the defense of two now, otherwise he will immediately have a three-second offense.

Ewing took a deep breath, he stabilized himself in the middle of the two of them, and then he forcibly pulled it out of place and struck.

Hawley just tried to distract Ewing's line of sight by covering Ewing's line of sight as much as possible, and his defensive moves were very clean and he avoided Ewing to foul him.

Under the attack of the two, Ewing's rather reluctant shot did not hit, but he was not flustered, he immediately jumped up and down quickly, and grabbed the offensive rebound in the gap, which couldn't help but make Tony secretly a little frightened, of course he knew very well what Ewing's true level was, and this time he was able to snatch the offensive rebound from between the two, which showed that this big man was really desperate today.

Ewing put the basketball into the basket, and he excitedly raised his biceps and roared loudly.

That goal just now even made him feel like he was back at the top.

Harris sat on the sidelines, he looked at Ewing who was showing off, and he was faintly worried, if Ewing kept this state in the next two quarters, it may be really difficult to know the victory or defeat between the Lakers and the Knicks today.

But fortunately, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is also very good, their current lineup has been tempered for a season, especially with the Jazz team for four games, they have a very good chemistry, although this has been affected by the change of the power forward position, but the other four still cooperate very tacitly.

In the rest of the third quarter, Kobe, who has always liked to play alone, also unusually sent two beautiful air relays to Toney, which greatly boosted the morale of the Lakers.

Although Ewing was still very brave on the Knicks' side, almost dragging the team forward with a single shot, but the rest of his teammates were very weak today, Alan Houston was able to score a few goals in the first half, but after the second half he was almost invisible.

Van Gundy could only make adjustments helplessly, he gambled to put Chris Childs on the court instead of Charlie Ward, although Childes's defense made Van Gundy very dissatisfied, but today Van Gundy is really unavailable, Charlie Ward's performance today can only be described as a pit dad, Van Gundy has given him nearly twenty minutes of playing time so far, Ward only got 3 points and 1 assist on 1 of 4 shots, and he also sent 4 turnovers, even if he can limit Fisher well on the defensive end, But that doesn't make a big difference to the game, and the Lakers aren't very dependent on Fisher right now.

Unexpectedly, Van Gundy's substitution decision actually achieved good results.

As soon as Childs came on the court, he came to a breakthrough layup and played a two-plus-one, and then he hit another mid-range shot, and he hit a wave of 5-0 small climaxes alone, which made Ewing feel a lot less pressure, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But despite this, the situation is still in favor of the Lakers, after Childs consecutive wins, Kobe Bryant is not far behind to start the personal offensive mode, he first deceived Houston with a shooting feint, hit both free throws, and then in the next round of the Lakers, he used Toney's block to kill the Knicks' interior and caused Ewing's foul, and then hit both free throws.

Bryant's back-to-back free throws helped the Lakers survive the Knicks' comeback, and then the two sides went straight to each other.

It's a pity that the Knicks, except for Ewing and Childes, who have just come on the court, can't find a third person who can score, and the Lakers are almost everyone, and almost everyone can score.

In this way, two seconds before the end of the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead again thanks to a three-pointer from Fisher (but because he stepped on the line, it was ruled a two-pointer).

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led the Knicks 77-76.

So far, Kobe's performance can only be described as perfect, he has already scored 22 points in the third quarter, and the Lakers' home commentator DJ has even begun to speculate about whether Kobe Bryant's score tonight can break the 30-point mark.

Almost everyone almost forgot about Tony, and they didn't even notice for a while, and Tony had handed over good statistics of 15 points and 8 boards by now.

Of course, this is also reasonable, after all, Tony's limelight has been steadily suppressed by Ewing today, and it is under Tony's defense that Ewing has now cut a big double-double of 26 points and 13 boards, and this is only the end of the third quarter.

Harris didn't blame Toney, he added manpower to defend Ewing in the third quarter, but it still didn't work too well, and he understood that Ewing was in that unstoppable state today.

So, in the next fourth quarter, he gave up on Ewing and continued to implement the original one-on-one single defense strategy.

However, Harris did not react at all, he still developed some offensive tactics around Kobe, since Ewing we can't defend it, then we also create a character that the opposite side can't defend, Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the best candidate, his feeling tonight can only be described as explosive.
