Chapter 678: Misfortune is not a one-way street

If Michael Jordan wasn't the god of basketball, it is estimated that T-NT would have kicked him out of the studio long ago...... This completely feels like a bear kid who is against everyone, everyone has a reasonable reason to make a point that the probability of the Lakers winning is greater, but he wants to say that the Knicks have more chances, ask him why, and raise his chin...... I'm awesome, I'm awesome, I just don't say why.

In another person, even a star of Charles Barkley's level sits in this position and says what Michael Jordan just said, it will be regarded as fooling around.

But, he's Jordan, he's the god of basketball. His portrait can be seen in the Hall of Fame!!

"Hey, Michael, you don't seem convincing when you say that." Earl Johnson couldn't help but say.

"yes, do you think Nate Robinson and Milicic alone will help Xiao beat the Lakers? Although their running and bombardment looked beautiful, it also hastened their own death, and their physical strength could not withstand such a rapid back and forth. Kenny Smith added.

"I don't like to talk to you, so I won't answer your questions." Michael Jordan glanced at Kenny Smith with contempt, apparently still in the mood where Kenny Smith had offended him.

As soon as Michael Jordan said this, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

Magic Johnson on the side only played a round and used a joke to get over this embarrassment: "Hehe, Michael, you are acting like a scoundrel kid now, you have to say something to support your evidence, right?" ”

"Am I the basis? Can't what I say be a basis? Michael Jordan said very stinky and very tsundere.

In the face of Michael Jordan's stinky fart and tsundere, Magic Johnson was completely convinced...... The god of basketball also has a time to be a scoundrel!!

And at this time. LeBron James picked up the conversation. Said slowly: "In my opinion. The key to the Knicks' victory should be on the inside! They have four interior lines above the level and different styles, and they can completely explode with the Lakers' interior and even have the upper hand. It's just that... Bigger people usually have faster physical exertion than small people! ”

LeBron James, as the No. 23 of the new generation, began to speculate on the mind of the old No. 23.

However, Michael Jordan shook his head and told LeBron James very directly and even hurtfully: "No, you guessed wrong. If you can guess the dashing thoughts as well as my thoughts. So... The team that now makes it to the Finals is the Cleveland Cavaliers. ”

Michael Jordan's words were plain, but for LeBron James, it was a sharp dagger that pierced directly into his heart.

Although Michael Jordan is stating a fact, this fact is too cruel and cruel for LeBron James. He has not yet come out of the shadow of being swept away, and now he is being named so directly by the basketball god that he is not as good as chic...... What a brutal blow it was!!

LeBron James was violently torn apart by the five organs of the basketball god, and sat quietly on the side of the **** wound.

However, Charles Barkley made up a shot at this time, and he asked Michael Jordan, "So, Michael." Do you think the new generation of players can only compare to you? ”

"Of course." Michael Jordan was very direct and didn't sloppy: "That's why I'm here." ”

Michael Jordan's calmness is obviously another heavy blow to LeBron James, who was already hurt. Recently, everyone has been saying that Xiao Squat has surpassed LeBron James to become the first person in the league. The sound was already very powerful, and now Michael Jordan has put the final word on it...... Isn't this a complete confirmation of the chic upper position?

In this regard, LeBron James was speechless and sad. I knew that my speech would attract Michael Jordan's final word on chic, and I would definitely keep my mouth shut in amusement...... After all, it's still too much to say and how wrong it is!!

While chattering in the live broadcast room, the game has also restarted.

The Knicks took advantage of the final three minutes to change a new lineup, three up and three down, Raymond Felton, Dash, Jeffries, Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler came on. The Lakers are still in that main mode...... In comparison, it is the Knicks who have a higher degree of rotation of players, but there are only a few people who come and go from the Knicks, especially the scoring guard position and the small forward position, Jeffries and Xiao are staring at the whole court, and there are still many new forces on the bench on the Lakers' side.

After the game began, the Knicks' style of play instantly changed from a sharp run to a steady positional offense. Raymond Felton was in control of the ball and patiently waited for his chance, while running around the full half to tear up space for the Lakers.

Seeing Xiao running wildly, the Lakers quickly changed their defensive tactics to joint defense.

When the Lakers started to defend together, Raymond Felton seemed a little confused, if it was Stephen Marbury or Tracy Maddy who was in control of the ball, they would definitely break through the interior at this time and then create opportunities to pass...... However, Raymond Felton is Raymond Felton after all, he is just a qualified porter, and creativity rarely manifests itself in him.

After four or five seconds of froze, he handed the ball to Eddy Curry, who received the ball and was caught in the bag.

In the midst of many levels, he seemed a little restless, and when he found an opportunity, he quickly turned around and shot...... Bang!

Of course, the basketball didn't go in, but fortunately, Tyson Chandler was alert enough, and he quickly jumped up and grabbed the basketball before Andrew Bynum put the basketball into the basket!

Although the ball was scored, Madison Garden also let out a lot of cheers.

But Xiao Xiao's brow furrowed tightly...... Without Stephen Marbury, the power of their off-ball runs has dropped by at least half, and the Lakers now have a lot of experience in dealing with their off-ball runs, so it's hard to catch them off guard!

Alas!

There must still be a veteran in charge!

Xiao Dash was quite helpless. Shout defensively. Quickly ran back to the half. Take the initiative to lead the defense.

With a dashing shout. The Knicks' defense instantly hardened...... The Knicks have been extremely lax defensively throughout the first half, and they have barely put any limits on the Lakers' offense, leaving them to do whatever they want!

Now, however, with its own attack at a disadvantage, something has to be done.

In the face of the Knicks' sudden strengthened defense, the Lakers suddenly felt a tough net falling from the sky, making their offensive coordination very unsmooth, and there was no longer the feeling of flowing clouds before.

However. In this regard, Phil Jackson on the sidelines was extremely happy. The significance of this to him is ...... The Knicks are finally starting to burn out on both ends of the floor.

Under the instructions of Phil Jackson, the Lakers deliberately delayed the offensive time to about 20 seconds, and finally Kobe Bryant executed the shot...... Bang!

The basketball missed, and Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound and handed it to Kobe Bryant on the outside.

So it fell into a state of anxious offensive and defensive warfare.

Phil Jackson is very satisfied with the current situation, and the Lakers players are also actively executing Phil Jackson's plan on the court, and the Knicks' physical strength is the most tenacious drain.

It's just that, in this kind of tough battle... Some Lakers players suddenly found that their bodies seemed to be a little unable to keep up with their own thoughts, and they began to feel a little tired.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol. In addition, Kobe Bryant and Bynum are more or less in this situation.

Although they didn't stay on the pitch from the start like Xiao Dash, they didn't rest much. What's more, at the beginning, they followed Nate Robinson and them for a long time, and now that the confrontation has suddenly intensified, it is normal for the body to be tired.

Of course, this situation did not make them feel depressed, on the contrary, they were more excited, and they thought that the person opposite would be more tired. So, I threw myself even harder into the confrontation.

After 21 seconds, Kobe Bryant finally made a move...... Swish!

The basketball slipped into the hoop!!

The Lakers finally scored after almost two 24 seconds.

After the Knicks re-served, Raymond Felton still controlled the ball, still advancing very slowly, and the Knicks did not have the idea of playing a quick counterattack.

It's just that when he got to the front court, Xiao Sao no longer ran wildly, but received the basketball from Raymond Felton, and then directed the players to keep running...... Xiao spoke very quickly, did not say any code words, and kept prompting the team members to run over there.

Under the chicly instructions, the players moved quickly.

When this dynamic reached a kind of balance of chic, he suddenly shook off Kobe Bryant, who was following him, and then scurried into the three-point line... Kobe Bryant chased after him and hit the oncoming Tyson Chandler just right...... He heard it just now, and beckoned Tyson Chandler to run out to cover Jeffries off the ball, but he didn't expect to bump into him here too, or... Fundamentally, that's how Xiao Dash arranged him to block his way.

Before Kobe Bryant could figure out whether Tyson Chandler was arranged to cover Jeffries off-ball or to block his own pursuit, Xiao had already thrown the basketball into the box, and Jeffries jumped high from the diagonal stab and stuffed the basketball into the basket...... Every player on the Lakers knew every arrangement before this, however, they still couldn't stop the Knicks' team offense, and also allowed Jeffries to complete an open catch in the heart of the restricted area!

Undoubtedly, this is a **** for the Lakers' overall defense!!

However, the Lakers could only passively accept it.

Chic's control and operation of the offensive line has been regarded as art, and in this regard, Phil Jackson on the sidelines also admired Chic's skills!

It's innate, you can't teach it!

Since the first game, Phil Jackson has clearly felt that he has suffered more than just a technical blow, but more of a tactical confrontation. Dash's tactical operation is flawless, and he has one more advantage than Phil Jackson in that he directs from the court, while Jackson can only command from the sidelines.

In all fairness, Phil Jackson was very appreciative of chic, and even to put it another way, it could be replaced by the word admiration.

He asked himself countless times that if he had taken over the Knicks' mess, it would have been impossible to bring the team to the Finals in such a short period of time in two seasons and create an undefeated record in the playoffs. He has reviewed every playoff game of the Knicks, and he believes that every game the Knicks win at the tactical level, and at the technical level, they are basically lackluster, except for the unstoppable and unstoppable.

He also applauded Xiao Sa's tactical arrangement in the video hall countless times, but tonight, he was ready to give Xiao Sa a regretful hug and told him: "You are great, the future belongs to you." ”

Yes, Phil Jackson thinks he's got it tonight. Even if Xiao Xiao can use the few players in his hand to play a subtle combination, it will not help. Personnel shortages have become an unavoidable fact, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!!

Jeffries' slam dunk ushered in a full house.

But soon, this full house turned into a wail from the audience!!

After the Lakers held the ball over the half, they still maintained great restraint and patience, and were actively attacking and confronting tentatively.

The basketball was consumed in the hands of Derrick Fisher for five or six seconds before being handed to Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball in front of Jeffries' close defense, and he felt the pressure of the strong defense. In this league, there are only a few defensive players that Kobe Bryant really takes it seriously, such as Sean Battier of the Rockets, Raga Belle of the Suns, Petrus of the Magic, Pierce of the Celtics, and retired Bruce Bowen and others... Jeffries is the latest addition to the list, and since arriving in New York, the team's fringe man has gradually shown his strength, becoming a spider-like octopus-like defender, and countless scorers have been smitten under his defense!

Kobe Bryant doesn't have the state of being in a state of ecstasy, but it still has some effect, and he has to show 12 percent of his form against Jeffries, because you don't know when and from what angle his big long hand will get into your arms and take your basketball!

Kobe Bryant began to cautiously probe, and after grabbing a little space with two tentative steps, he quickly held the ball and pressed closer, and he was ready to engage Jeffries in the most close hand-to-hand combat. In Kobe Bryant's view, as long as Jeffries' physical strength is squeezed dry, the Knicks' outside defense will automatically drop by one level, or even two levels.

Therefore, he maintained great patience outside the three-point line to fight with Jeffries, constantly colliding with his body, constantly flashing and moving in small areas!

Jeffries' defensive footwork and defensive skills are quite good, otherwise he would have been fouled in such a small space and under the confrontation.

Time slipped away under the watchful eye of the referee, who had already put his whistle in his mouth, and he was ready to blow the whistle at any moment.

With seven seconds left on the offensive clock, Kobe Bryant suddenly took a sharp step back in the middle of the fight, and Jeffries rushed forward to track the defense.

And just as Jeffries opened his legs and followed upwards, Kobe Bryant took a step forward with his waist bent...... The two almost collided together, and Kobe Bryant had a particularly good grasp of this space.

However, he didn't calculate the gap in his footsteps, and as soon as he stepped away, as soon as he landed, he noticed that something had stepped heavily on the back of his shoe...... At this time, time was pressing, and he couldn't care so much, so he rushed over with an acceleration, and then he heard a scream, and before he could react, the body that was standing beside him like a mountain fell to the ground in pain.

Bryant's left eye swept until Jeffries fell and clutched his ankle.

He tried to stop and ask what was going on, but before he could do that, he jumped up...... Shoot the threes in your hand.

After all, he is a professional basketball player!!
