Players from both sides entered the court one after another, and the Lakers' live DJ commentary began to introduce the lineups of both sides.
Knicks: Point guard Chris Childs, split Alan Houston, small forward Larry Johnson, big forward Charles Oakley, center Patrick Ewing.
Lakers: Point guard Derrick Fisher, split Kobe Bryant, small forward Eddie Jones, big forward Robert Hawley, center Tony Marles.
After introducing the lineup, the game officially began.
Tony felt like he was full of energy in today's fight, and he won Ewing very easily in the jump stage.
Fisher advanced past halfcourt, he dribbled steadily, Hawley stepped forward to give him a demolition, Fisher shook off Chris Childs, but he didn't get a chance to get inside, because the Knicks did a good job of switching defenses, and Charles Oakley had blocked Fisher's way.
And by the time Childs got rid of Hawley and re-defended Fisher, Oakley also returned to Hawley's side.
They had no intention of trapping Fisher at all.
Fisher saw that there was no chance, so he passed the ball to Bryant.
Bryant was cautious after receiving the ball, and he didn't dribble a few times before hoisting the ball to Tony, who was on the inside.
Tony took the ball and pouted it with his butt and pushed Ewing, Ewing was unmoved, this little power alone was not enough to shake him, but Tony didn't expect to be able to pluck Ewing, he just tested Ewing's defensive strength.
He then began to eat Ewing on his back, which attracted Alan Houston's bag.
After half a season, Tony naturally didn't have to be overwhelmed by the bag, he grabbed the ball with both hands while Alan Houston made a steal, and then turned smoothly and made a jumper.
Kobe Bryant immediately rushed to the inside line when Alan abandoned him to wrap Tony, and Tony naturally spotted Kobe's figure, and his shooting action instantly turned into a pass.
Fake the real story!
Immediately the ball came to Kobe's hands, and Kobe Bryant had already hit the inside.
Oakley quickly came over to make up for it, and in doing so, he left Hawley free. Kobe Bryant's eyes were sharp, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Hawley in the bottom corner.
After receiving the ball, Hawley was already unguarded at this time, he shot quickly, but unfortunately the ball did not go in, Hawley couldn't help but clap his hands in annoyance, it was a pity that such a good opportunity was not shot.
The rebound was grabbed by Ewing, who quickly threw it to Childs.
The Lakers' defense was fast, and they started to defend when Hawley made a move, so the Knicks didn't get a chance to break quickly.
However, Childs was not in a hurry, he dribbled the ball on the outside and waited for Ewing to settle down and then passed the ball to Ewing.
Ewing looked like he had a good desire to attack today, he shook Tony first, Tony didn't eat his shake, but Ewing still chose to force a breakthrough, Tony clung to Ewing and didn't give an inch.
Ewing forced a shot and missed, but he still grabbed the offensive rebound and added the basket.
After scoring the ball, Ewing roared loudly, his expression looking like that of a gorilla, which is where his nickname comes from.
The ball is back in the hands of the Lakers.
Fisher was like a small tank, breaking through directly against Childs, although Fisher's height was only 185, which was a full 6 centimeters shorter than Childs, but his strong body could also help him push through Childs.
Fisher was only a step or so away from the free throw line, he suddenly stopped, then took a step back and used inertia to shake off Childles, he aimed for the basket and hit a jumper.
Fisher is a left-handed player, and he shoots in a weird way that looks like he's carrying a bazooka, but he's able to keep up with a consistent shooting percentage.
The score is tied between the two sides.
Not to be outdone after Childs was shaken away by Fisher, he suddenly started to accelerate after dribbling past half court, trying to break through Fisher, Fisher's defense was very oppressive, Childs did not succeed in breaking through him, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, and Childs could only force the scalp to throw.
I have to say that because of the height advantage, Fisher really can't interfere with him, but this doesn't mean that Fisher has nothing to do with him, he pushed Childs very covertly at the moment when Childs made a move.
At this moment, Childs's body in the air suddenly lost his balance, and his originally very safe throw also deviated from the track and hit the iron.
Tony jammed Ewing, Holly grabbed the rebound smoothly, and he saw Fisher and Kobe Bryant, who were already running away, so he threw the ball to Fisher, who was closer, with a small long throw.
Fisher saw Hawley's movements and reached for the ball, but Alan Houston had already caught up with him, and Fisher quickly found Bryant with no one in front of him on a quick run.
He dodged Alan Houston's raised hand and threw the ball into the air, and a figure in the golden No. 8 robe flew into the air at the same time.
Relay in the air!
The Lakers' aerial connection immediately detonated the audience, and deafening cheers were heard from the audience.
Bryant jumped off the basket after completing the dunk, and he and Fisher high-fived hard in celebration.
The momentum of the Lakers team also rose with this aerial relay, and they became more active on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the next game, and the Lakers also played a tie with the Knicks for a while.
Fisher played very well since the opening, and he also completed a steal Ewing in the time after sending Kobe Bryant an open pick, and assisted Toney's dunk and a three-pointer.
In less than the first quarter, he played 5 points, 1 board, 2 assists and 1 steal, and he perfectly connected the team's offense.
With 15 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 24:25, and the Lakers trailed by one point, and the Lakers had the ball.
They only had enough time to complete one offense, and during this time, the Lakers only needed to press the time to play, and even if they didn't score, they couldn't give the Knicks time to complete the counterattack.
The ball came to Toney, who didn't start the game too often, except for Fisher's dunk that assisted him, he only missed one shot, but the Lakers decided to give him the last chance of the first quarter.
Tony held the ball in both hands, pivoted his feet and turned in place, Ewing opened his arms to block Tony's offensive lane, but it didn't bother Tony at all.
The time was decreasing by second, and Tony calculated the time to break through, and the speed at which Tony broke through didn't look like a big man on the inside, he was very fast.
However, because Ewing and Tony were so close, he was still able to cling to Tony, but suddenly he noticed that Tony had passed him by making another temporary reversal.
Ewing was too late to defend, and he could only watch as Tony dunked the ball into the basket with ease.
Whistle press!
