Chapter 274: Nicks in the Upper Board

It's just that Gong Feng didn't care about the Lakers' scoring at all, as long as he saw the active defense of the Knicks, it was enough to start running wild the moment he received the ball, and after seeing Fisher's defense at the beginning, he handed the ball to Allen, and saw that Kobe Bryant was also actively defending by Allen's side, and in order to advance the speed, he could only give it to Bosh...... It's just that Bosh's height is a little too tall anyway.

Seeing this, Mir looked at Hill's eyes, but after remembering something, he directly let Dio play.

"Don't underestimate this magician from France, in terms of his height, dribbling ability and passing skills, even Bosh is not his opponent at this time, Bosh needs growth, but Dior needs a stage that can give full play to his ability, in the practical category, when we need to advance the speed, Dior can test it first!"

Mir, who thought of this sentence, gave Dio this opportunity in the finals, and Dio showed excitement after seeing that he could play, Dio believed that this game must be broadcast live in France, and he could show his ability in front of his hometown fathers, and Dio was even more excited.

In this season at the Knicks, Dio was excited and exhilarating at the same time, but he also felt a lot of pressure.

You must know that under normal circumstances, Dio will stay in the Knicks for four full years, and Dio will face too many opponents.

In terms of mobility, scoring methods, and physical fitness, Dio knows that he has a lot of gaps with Bosh, and in terms of defensive ability, the comparison between Dior and Cott, needless to say, everything has been fully presented.

It is not said here that Malone will stay in the Knicks for a few years, Pachulia is now actively practicing his body and gaining weight, not saying that Yao Ming is the absolute core!

Dio is very confused at this time, and it is possible to get the chance to get the finals in the first season, which is what many rookies dream of, but Dio is also very confused, where can he stand in this league?

It wasn't until Dio noticed Gong Feng's practice that Dio seemed to find a little bit of a sense of competition, especially the system designed by D'Antoni, which opened another door for Dio, although Dio didn't know what his future in the Knicks would look like, but Dio at least knew what he needed to do during this time.

The three-point or scoring tactics, the sparse playmaking ability on the front line, and the ability to gain weight without slowing down one's speed are the things that Dio has to do this year to truly integrate into the Knicks' system.

And Dio's dedication was naturally seen by the Knicks' senior management and the core of the team, although because of the personnel problems in the power forward position, Dior could not be given more playing time, but other aspects did not treat this 'magician' from the romantic country at all.

Dio's role after coming on the court is really beyond what Mill wants to see the most, and even inherits Hill's organizational ability under this system, especially after Dio is at the three-point line, after seeing the opponent let him shoot, Dio took a deep breath and shot that three-pointer.

The Knicks' rapid advance also unfolded at this time, and Jackson saw that the Knicks just wanted to advance the speed, especially when he saw that O'Neal's huge weight was still accelerating to catch up with the Knicks, he was angry and directly replaced Payton to defend Dio in the power forward.

Mill seemed to be 'angry' with Jackson at this time, and directly let Jay come on the court to replace Cott!

Dio came directly to the position of center forward and faced O'Neill directly!

Although the magician was abused enough by O'Neill on the inside, Dio still made him smile very happily every time he let O'Neill expend a little bit of physical strength!

After O'Neal came on the court, although he scored 12 points in a row, the Knicks did not fall too behind, played counterattacks, played speed, and still scored 25 points in the second quarter, although they were behind the 26 points scored by the Lakers, but the Knicks played the results with the bench lineup and the Lakers' main lineup!

The most important thing is that the Knicks are still nine points ahead of the Lakers!

Jackson didn't sit down at the end of the second quarter, which is really different from his usual coaching style, but Jackson knows that after the Knicks showed a set of not weak and Lakers main lineup, Jackson's too many calculations can't be used in the future, and what's worse is that the Knicks' main force can get more rest time later!

After the Knicks gave up their low-post defense, after Dio appeared outside the three-point line to organize the team, the offensive ability of all the Knicks players was maximized and utilized, and the biggest shortcomings of the Lakers and Knicks also appeared.

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks' main lineup still did not all play, and Gong Feng and Allen led Dio, Bosh, and Korver on the court.

Although at half-time, Jackson repeatedly stressed the need to slow down his pace and reduce the pace of the game.

But let a scorer like Kobe Bryant face a relatively 'lax' defense like the Knicks, especially when he sees the space and scoring in front of him, Kobe Bryant will not let his score flow out of his hands.

Under normal circumstances, Kobe Bryant's approach cannot be said to be wrong, as long as the subsequent Lakers players can catch up and provide Kobe with the necessary help and containment, Kobe can rely on his own ability to get a very surprising score under the Knicks' defense.

But Jackson deeply knows that the Knicks' defensive method is an incomparably huge pit, and most of Kobe's scoring is a lax shot, but not the most direct layup and slam dunk, which has proved that the Knicks' defense is effective, and the Knicks deeply know the price of wanting to block Kobe Bryant's shot!

But Kobe's every shot also means that O'Neal is running back and forth at high speed, no matter what, the Knicks' running is positive, and the defense is fast!

As long as Kobe Bryant shows the meaning of being strong, the Knicks' tight basket is obvious, and Jackson knows that the easiest and most effective way for the Lakers to score now is definitely not Kobe's offense!

However, Jackson also fell into an extremely dilemma in the third quarter of the game, replacing O'Neal means that the Knicks are pressing Kobe, although they can trust Kobe, the Lakers can score points, but they want Kobe to fight with a systematic team and score with a team with five scoring ability...... Jackson wouldn't bet to do that for a single game!

But if O'Neal is not replaced, O'Neal's physical fitness will be most directly challenged, and in the Knicks' main team played the first quarter, a game was only about 30 minutes of play, and O'Neal played 48 minutes?

If the Knicks' main force appeared in the third quarter, or even the Knicks' bench lineup went smoothly and kept the margin at about 10 points, what could O'Neal do? Besides, the Knicks' main defense doesn't have as many holes as this bench!

For the first time, Jackson found that his players were inferior to the Knicks in terms of ability and ideas!

There is no better way for Jackson to let the assistant rest first according to the specified time, so that the team's main focus is on the fourth quarter, and let Kobe stay on the court until the end of the game!

As for how Kobe Bryant can play, it's what Jackson prayed for in his heart!

After seeing O'Neal go down, Gong Feng immediately clapped his hands, and then Mill immediately replaced Dio, replaced Cott, Bosh, and Gerrard, strengthening the defensive ability of the bench lineup, and what made Jackson hate even more was that the Knicks immediately began to play a purposeful positional offense!

Although Kobe Bryant's hand is very good, this game is not the night when Kobe Bryant has a new record, in the case of the Knicks team, although Kobe Bryant is moving around to organize and score shoulder-to-shoulder, but he can't get the points he deserves under the Knicks' defensive system.

Although Kobe's 42 percent shooting percentage is not low, it is too far from the Knicks' 55 percent shooting rate in the third quarter.

And the pressure on the Lakers after the Knicks' main force plays, especially after enough rest, is not something that the Lakers can easily bear.

The Knicks moved back to a one-game win at Staples Center, 108-101, and it was a victory that the Knicks all worked together to win. (To be continued.) )
