While the T-NT trio were making various presentations on the game, both players had already returned to their respective locker rooms and were actively preparing for the second half.

Comparatively, the difference between the home and away locker rooms at Staples Arena is better than in the league, like in Milwaukee... There are only a few lonely chairs in the away team's locker room, not even a place to hang clothes, not to mention how shabby, or Angelenos have money.

In the more luxurious home locker room, Phil Jackson is explaining his next tactical arrangement!

"The question before us now is... We have to give up some of the perimeter players and put more of them in the box. It's impossible for us to beat the dash on the outside option, so... We have to come to a consensus in the locker room! ”

Phil Jackson didn't pour chicken soup this time, and he didn't chatter like a witty chat. He was direct and honest about his attitude and thoughts.

Everyone knew who he was aiming for.

The other players of the Lakers team closed their mouths one by one after hearing this, and this is not something they can participate in.

In the calm of the locker room, Kobe Bryant slowly stood up, his thin lips pursed hard, and then said very decisively and resolutely: "Phil is right, we really don't need to collide with Xiao Slang in the option of outside players, this is not in line with our tactical advantages, we should fully mobilize the offensive firepower of all players...... This is our advantage, and the Knicks can only rely on Xiao Xiao to support himself now!! ”

"I know better than anyone how hard it is to hold up a team with the offensive ability of one person, so as long as we are determined to spread out the offensive firepower and play into the Knicks' restricted area, winning is not a problem at all."

Kobe Bryant echoed Phil Jackson's proposal, and there was not a hint of emotion in his words. Very sincerely, he completely agreed with Phil Jackson.

The Lakers players weren't surprised that Kobe Bryant agreed with Phil Jackson's tactics, and what really surprised them was...... Phil Jackson's rationale for this tactic was... The Lakers' outside line is not as chic...... In other words, he is saying that Kobe Bryant is not as good as chic!!

In the eyes of Lakers players, the arrogant Kobe Bryant will never be able to accept this. How could he possibly agree with Phil Jackson's statement.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't have any objections to this, in other words...... The arrogant Kobe Bryant accepted the premise proposed by Phil Jackson himself.

What an incredible thing!

Kobe Bryant actually accepted the fact that he is not as good as other outside players, is this still Kobe Bryant?

While the rest of the Lakers players are full of excitement, Kobe Bryant is full and calm inside, and he saw it as early as the regular season...... There are talented people in the country, and there will always be new people who will emerge, and sooner or later they will be replaced, after all, time is never gentle to people. This is a natural phenomenon that cannot be reversed. It's the end of my career, so stop being stubborn on personal issues, and winning more championships is the right way!!

Kobe Bryant was a big hit.

The Lakers have achieved unprecedented unity and consistency in strategy.

On the other side, in the away team's dressing room, the second half of the game is also being discussed.

"Now that Tracy is off the court, we don't have a strong offensive player on the perimeter besides me. So, I hope that in the next third quarter, the interior players should play a role, and Bynum of the Lakers has already committed four fouls. It only takes two times to get him off the court. Pau Gasol has also been fouled three times, and our advantage on the inside is not small at all. Outside. I'm also good enough for all of their outside players combined. ”

"So, on paper, there's no reason for us to lose to them. The only problem we have right now is rotation and stamina, and I know you're all tired, so please take a break. In the third quarter, the interior players will fight for half a quarter, and the rest of the game will be handed over to me! ”

"I promise to lead you to win this game!!"

Xiao has also formulated a play style based on the inside line!

The reason why Xiao Shi developed this set of tactics. It's not that he found any holes in the Lakers. It's because he can only do this, or he doesn't regard the Lakers as the biggest enemy now, the biggest enemy is physical strength and time! The Knicks' main players are running out of energy, and it takes time for the Knicks... And it takes just the right amount of time to get into the god-killing state - it's not good if it's early, it's not okay if it's late. Only just right. in order to defeat the Lakers in one fell swoop!! “

Drip!

Soon, the halftime break ended, and the third quarter of the game came on time.

The Knicks' starting lineup for the second half were: center Tyson Chandler, power forward Eddie Curry, small forward Milicic, scoring guard Xiao Po, and point guard Raymond Felton.

Three big and two small.

Or to put it bluntly, the three-center tactic.

And the Lakers are not far behind, with center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Lamar Odom, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Derrick Fisher.

The lineups of the two teams can be described as neat and unusually harmonious.

At the beginning of the game, the scene was more harmonious.

Kobe Bryant held the ball and used Andrew Bynum's cover to break through the sloppy defense, and as soon as he rushed to the free throw line, he handed the basketball to Lamar Odom, who singled out Milicic inside, and then handed it to Gasol, Gasol deceived Eddie Curry's defense with two taps, and then scored an easy layup.

reversed, Xiao Xiao did the same, broke through Kobe Bryant's defense, passed the ball to Milicic, Milicic singled out Lamar Odom, and then handed the ball to Eddie Curry, who squeezed Gasol directly with his power and scored with a hook!

The offensive routines of both teams are the same, and it looks like a copy and paste.

The two sides come and go, both of them are the main inside line, without the slightest deviation!!

The score gap has also been maintained in the range of four or five points.

This is the rhythm that Xiao Ao wants, and it is best to maintain it until the end of the third quarter. In this way, the chances of winning in the fourth quarter are much better...... Or you can directly lock in the victory.

However, how can things be so simple, and it is difficult for things to appear in real life.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Pau Gasol drew a foul on Eddie Curry.

In the fifth and a half minutes, Lamar Odom drew another foul on Eddy Curry. Although Milicic raised his hand high, the referee credited the foul to Eddie Curry...... As a result, the fouls on Eddie Curry's body instantly came to 5. There is only one whistle left until six fouls left.

So, there was no way, the Knicks could only replace Jeffries.

With the departure of Eddie Curry, the Knicks' interior offensive firepower was instantly reduced by more than half, and Tyson Chandler's offensive means were almost limited to a few air relays, and his main merit to the Knicks was defense, and he was not very involved in the offense from the beginning. Milicic has a lot of offensive means, but... It's time for the playoffs. It's hard to have room for his kind of skill flow, basically everyone is fighting hand-to-hand, and no matter how high his embroidery level is, it won't help.

The offensive firepower has been withdrawn by more than half, and the dashing interior flowering tactics can only be declared dead.

At this time, the Lakers are rapidly regaining lost ground, and Kobe Bryant quickly led his team to sprint the interior of the Knicks, delivering shells to Gasol Bynum and others, under this selfless handling. The Lakers began to rebuild a one-point lead from a five-point deficit in less than three minutes.

Drip!

Xiao Sao decisively called a timeout!

At this point, there were three and a half minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Xiao Sao calculated the time. That's pretty much enough!

So, with a big wave of his hand, he replaced Tyson Chandler, David Lee on it, Jeffries on it, and Nate Robinson on it. In an instant, the line-up on the court became: Daco Milicic, David Lee, Shaw, Raymond Felton and Nate Robinson.

This is a typical small-ball lineup, which is the most stark and significant contrast to the previous three-center lineup!

Under his dashing rule, the Knicks have always been known for their quirky and varied style. It's hard for a normal team to keep up with the rhythm of his mind because he doesn't come out of the box at all.

In fact, the overall tactical idea of Chic is similar to that of Mr. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do: the impossible is the law, and the infinite is limited.

To put it more colloquially: there are no tricks to win!!

Phil Jackson always thought he was coaching, but now he has to take the chic ... The chic force-grid is much taller than himself, and he doesn't dare to change more than ten styles in one game.

Everyone thinks that Xiao Sage is on this lineup to fight and run and hit, and Xiao Sa's real intention is to sweat!!

In other words, it is to make yourself tired faster.

So, as soon as the ball kicked off, the basketball was handed over to Xiao Sa, and Xiao Xiao never passed it out after taking control of the basketball, which made Derrick Fisher, who was closely following Nate Robinson, a little disappointed, and he originally thought that Nate Robinson would definitely repeat his old trick to play a super long-range three-pointer, however, this did not happen, and it does not look like it will happen next...... Nate Robinson is walking around the court like an old man walking his dog, which makes Derek Fisher very suspicious of whether there is something wrong with his head and actually wasting defensive energy on this scumbag?

In stark contrast to Nate Robinson, who walked around the court like a dog, Xiao Shao, after holding the ball to the front court, without a little hesitation or hesitation, directly tore apart Kobe Bryant's defense and inserted it into the penalty area, and then forced Andrew Bynum to hit it...... Forced a backhand layup after a collision...... Drip!

The referee blows the whistle!

Swish!

The basketball is picked into the basket.

Xiao Dash walked to the free throw line without looking back, and sure enough, the referee made a penalty that Andrew Bynum defended for a foul, and Dash got a free throw opportunity.

Andrew Bynum had to walk to the sideline in frustration, and again, this was his fifth foul, and he didn't want to stay on the court and get his sixth foul.

Swish!!

Free throws are all about adding a point to the stat sheet for Xiao Dash.

Kobe Bryant didn't have the slightest intention of coming to an answer-ball, even though Staples Arena kept shouting an answer-ball...... They hope that Kobe Bryant can give a tough counter-attack.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't do that. He came to the frontcourt, rushed to the free throw line with a slick defense, and quickly passed the basketball to Lamar Odom, who made a shot...... Swish!

Basketball hits!

Kobe Bryant cheered Odom loudly.

Look. He's become a commander!

Xiao Bo ignored Kobe Bryant's change in status, and he still sprinted to the box after receiving the basketball, this time causing a foul on Pau Gasol...... Although he didn't score, Gasol's fouls also reached a precarious four, and again, he was on match point.

Xiao Shi continuously created the damage in the forbidden area. Phil Jackson had to ask for a timeout.

He told his players very clearly that there is no need to over-defend the sloppy penalty area in the future, let him score and don't take a foul, this guy just wants to break down our interior line in the penalty area.

Phil Jackson reminded him that Xiao Shao's scoring was easier, as long as he could break through into the penalty area, the defense would automatically separate the two sides, as if he was escorting Xiao Zhi's score!

And even though Xiao was able to get an easy scoring opportunity, the Knicks still didn't build the lead because of it. The scores have been alternating between the two sides, as the Lakers' offense has become methodical under Kobe Bryant's combing, and it has taken the form of a systematic offensive firepower net to press the Knicks...... If it weren't for Xiao Po's personal ability, it is estimated that he would have been pulled away a long time ago.

The third quarter ended quickly, 79-78, with the Knicks leading by one point.

When Xiao Xiao left the court, he was already a little out of breath because of the back and forth sprints, and at this time, the Lakers also knew that Xiao Shao's physical strength had problems. If this pace continues, there is no reason for the Lakers to lose this vital home court.

So. They returned to the bench looking unusually relaxed, believing that victory was in their pockets...... The Knicks played tenaciously tonight and played an impressive game in difficult circumstances. But... It's about to be over, and after the game, the Lakers will definitely take off their hats for the Knicks, but it's the winner's respect for the loser. Rather than the loser bowing to the winner.

The Lakers think they've won.

Xiao also feels that the Knicks will win without any suspense. He felt that the killing god in his body was about to be released.

However, he decided to hold off a bit, so he returned to the bench and made a fourth-quarter setup: "Stephen, you wait with Raymond, Jeffries." David Lee and Eddie Curry went up and played a dozen, give you three minutes, and try not to stretch the score too wide. ”

Xiao Sao said this easily, although his breath was a little rough.

The Knicks' players didn't know that Shaw was already in the driver's seat, and they wondered why Shaw would make such an arrangement. Stephen Marbury asked directly: "But, Eddie has already committed five fouls, what if he commits six?" ”

"Then let Tyson get on." Xiao said very simply.

"But ......," Stephen Marbury still couldn't understand.

When Xiao Sa saw him like this, he knew where his worries were, so he smiled and patted his hands: "Don't worry, Stephen, victory has been put into our pockets, you just need to go to the field and stand on the last shift, and the rest will be left to me." ”

As soon as Xiao Shao's words came out, Stephen Marbury immediately understood...... Don't... Don't? Is Xiao Chi going crazy again?

At the thought of this, Stephen Marbury was immediately ecstatic, of course he knew how terrible it was to go crazy.

It's just that he has a little doubt now...... He was also teammates with the former convulsive king Jamal Crawford, and logically speaking, even he didn't know when he would go crazy!! Why is Xiao Dash predictable every time? Could it be that he was able to control his madness? Or was he actually deliberately camouflaging his jump shot before, only breaking out at critical moments?

Stephen Marbury's doubts are actually the doubts of the Knicks as a whole, everyone is curious about Xiao's crazy state, and Xiaoxiao has not been deciphered.

Drip!!

A long whistle interrupted their confusion, and the fourth quarter began.

The first game of the 2009-2010 season finals is finally about to enter the crucial decisive moment!!
