Having dunked Ewing made Tony a little excited, and of course he knew Ewing's fame and was able to dunk on his head, something Tony had never dared to imagine before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing Tony's expression, Ewing couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement, rookies are still rookies after all.

Before Tony could recover from the dunk, Ewing received the ball again, and he made a shooting feint, and Tony thought Ewing was about to make a move, and he jumped up to block it.

Ewing picked up Tony with ease, then leaned over and shot at the same time.

Basketball hit the board into the frame, "Drip! At the same time the referee's whistle blew.

2+1。

"Rookie, the game isn't over yet." Ewing said with a smile as he walked to the free throw line.

Ewing has a career free-throw shooting percentage of 74 percent, which is pretty good for an interior player, and it's not surprisingly a free throw that hits the bag.

“Fuck！” Tony cursed secretly, he had just gotten a little carried away.

The Knicks were able to beat two teams in a row at the beginning of the season, not only because Ewing alone, but in terms of overall strength, the Lakers are inferior to the Knicks.

Robert Hawley's main threat is outside the three-point line, and the scramble for rebounds is not his strong point, and the Knicks, with Oakley and Ewing on the inside, even if Hawley can pull Oakley to the outside, don't forget that the Knicks' small forward Larry Johnson is also a fierce man who can pick up 10 rebounds per game at his peak.

Tony alone can't guarantee the Lakers' rebounds, from the first quarter, the Lakers' rebounds were suppressed by the Knicks, and the Knicks' advantage on the inside also greatly reduced the impact of the Lakers.

And Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage in the first quarter was not very high, he shot only 1 of 4 and scored two points.

Although Toney grabbed a frontcourt rebound and drew a foul on Oakley, his one-of-a-two free throws didn't change the situation for the team to be suppressed.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Knicks by eight points at 19-27.

Those who get the inside line win the world, this sentence is really good.

Harris naturally saw the team's predicament, he made a change of lineup, in the second quarter, he put Rumil Robinson and Byron Scott on the court, and replaced Fisher and Hawley, Kobe Bryant on the small forward, and Eddie Jones on the big forward, he wanted to rely on Robinson's speed to speed up the team, the Lakers switched to small ball in the second quarter.

In this era, small-ball tactics are still very rare, and Harris's change of formation makes everyone wonder.

In the first quarter, the Lakers didn't seem to have much to do with the Knicks' interior, and in the second quarter, the Lakers seemed to have completely abandoned the interior, leaving only Tony alone, and Harris's move to put Jones in the power forward position, the Lakers should be speeding up the team. I wonder if Coach Harris's change of formation will work wonders? The commentator in the commentary box explained to the crowd at the stadium, but he didn't think it was of any use.

"I want everybody to run, to fight for every ball, we're going to play our impact, Eddie, you're going to play more resolutely, use your speed advantage to get to the basket, I'm sure Oakley can't stop you. Tony, try your best to grab rebounds, Ewing is a man no matter how good he is, everyone has to defend with all their might, we can't fall into the rhythm of the opposite side and fight back with them! Boys, go gnaw this hard bone! Harris kept cheering the players up, and he didn't know if his change of formation would have an effect, but if he didn't, the Lakers would be killing themselves if they continued to attack their own strengths.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' rebounding pressure has all fallen on Tony, and if Tony can grab one more rebound, the Lakers will have one more chance to counterattack.

The whole Knicks could feel that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' defensive intensity suddenly became much stronger, which caught them off guard, and their outside shooting percentage began to decline.

Tony worked hard, he didn't care about the physical exertion, but like a madman, he went to fight for every rebound with all his might.

Ewing's face changed a little, and Tony had just picked up a frontcourt rebound on his head and made a layup. He can feel that Tony's performance in the first quarter is like two people, if Tony behaved like a rookie in the first quarter, then in the second quarter, he already has a faint feeling that he can fight against the court.

Toney's desperate efforts propped up the entire Lakers.

Ewing turned and hit a small hook shot, Tony didn't hesitate for a moment, retreated to the outside of bounds and immediately served Robinson, and the Lakers ran to the opponent's basket like the wind.

At this time, the powerful twin tower combination of Ewing and Oakley became a burden to the team.

The Knicks worked very the back, but Ewing and Oakley couldn't keep up with the team, and they fell into a frenzy. The Lakers, on the other hand, took advantage of their speed and created a 3-on-2 situation, with Kobe, Robinson and Scott quickly passing the ball a few times on the run, and finally Kobe Bryant made a layup.

Halfway through the second quarter, the difference had been narrowed to 4 points by the Lakers, and the Knicks were forced to call a timeout.

It can be seen that Harris's deployment has achieved good results.

"Keep it up and play with our momentum!" The short timeout didn't allow Harris to lay out much of a strategy, and he shouted loudly to motivate his players.

Madison Square Garden fans fell silent for a moment, as the Knicks players were a little stunned by the Lakers' stormy charge in the past few minutes.

After the timeout, the Knicks continued to keep Ewing and Oakley on the court, and Coach Van Gundy was not intimidated by the Lakers' sudden ramp-up, he knew that if he changed lineup with the Lakers, he would only get into the rhythm of the Lakers.

Van Gundy made the right choice.

The Knicks played more cautiously and toughly, and in the following time, the Knicks strengthened their defensive protection for rebounds, and slowed down the pace of the game, not giving the Lakers a chance to counterattack.

Ewing put the basketball in the hoop against Tony, and he roared unbridledly, which was echoed by the Madison Square Garden fans.

Not to be outdone, Tony received a pass and began to hit Ewing with his back, unlike Ewing, who was outraged by endless boos from Knicks fans every time he dribbled the ball. Ewing was very strong, and Tony hit a few tops, but it didn't work well, but he still turned over and returned one jumper.

The boos stopped abruptly, and the feeling of being slapped in the face made Tony feel a burst of relief.

Harris is very excited, the gap between home and away in the NBA is very large, some rookies who are not strong enough are often destroyed by the boos of thousands of people when they participate in away games, which has nothing to do with strength, psychological quality is not something that can be obtained through training, even if the most talented players have also appeared this phenomenon, this is the NBA's rookie wall.

The NBA is an arena, there is no gentle treatment like a college league, and there are just the survival of the fittest. Only those who are strong enough in their hearts will be able to gain a foothold on this field.

And Tony, it seems, is the one who eats hard.

Tony was in a state where he felt as if he had become so powerful that he could shoot anything he wouldn't normally do.

Ewing's shot was blocked by him.

Tony took a deep breath, snatched the basketball, and threw a long dunk to Kobe Bryant, who galloped across the halfcourt. Years of chemistry with Kobe Bryant allowed him to do it with ease.

Tony's tough performance was taken seriously by Ewing, who exploded and started his real scoring form.

The outburst of a super center is terrifying, and there is nothing left to stop Ewing except to pray to God. But Tony didn't really care, Ewing got the points from his head, he just had to get it back.

This game has also completely become a duel between the two centers, when it comes to the fourth quarter, Ewing has cut 31 points and 9 rebounds, and Tony's performance is completely unfamiliar with Ewing, 26 points and 12 rebounds The data has become the foundation for the Lakers to drag the game into the fourth quarter.

The game was more intense in the final quarter, Ewing forced a dunk against Tony, and then Tony ignored Ewing's defense, put the ball in the basket, and added some backs in order to avoid Ewing's block.

The battle between the two continued.

The whole Lakers team seemed to be infected by Tony, they fought until the last moment, even Hawley, who is not known for confrontation, threw his body out of bounds desperately for a defensive rebound that was about to go out of bounds, and watched Tony receive his own save and dunk the ball into the basket, he smiled and fell to the ground.

101:108

Tony scored 32 points and 16 rebounds in the game, but the Lakers still lost the game because of the lack of overall strength.

But for the first time, the fans at Madison Square Garden surprisingly didn't boo, and with sparse applause, then more and more, and finally, all the fans stood up and the applause lasted for a long time.

In this game, the Knicks won the game, and the Lakers' group of boys won their respect with their own efforts.

Listening to the applause from the audience, Tony grinned and collapsed into the arms of his teammates.
