In this game, the Lakers' half-game scoring was very low, and there were many reasons for this, first of all, the super incompetence of the bench players was one of the reasons. And then the Knicks' defense is really good, and the defense is very aggressive. And to say that the Knicks are still very strong in single defense, no position is a defensive weakness, and it can even be said that the players in each position are relatively good defensive players in the league.

Chen Jiyuan is no longer the guy who was very good on offense and a bit behind in defense when he first entered the league.

Under Ewing's guidance, Chen Jiyuan has made significant progress, and Chen Jiyuan has studied with one of the league's most famous centers, the creator of Dream Dance Steps, Dameng Olajuwon. After all, Olajuwon is also the league's block king, and he is also very strong on the defensive end. A static offense will always be easy to defend successfully by a defender.

Although Sergi Ibaka has just entered the league in his first season, he may not have adapted to the rhythm of the NBA so well, but after all, he has played in European games, so it is not so bad, especially on the defensive end, Serge Ibaka is full of positivity, which is very good.

Andre Iguodala and Stephen Jackson are some of the league's most famous defensive giants. Therefore, Stephen Curry's defense is a little weak, and the rest of the place will definitely not delay any hindrance. If it's when Sessions is on the field, that's even more so when Sessions is on the field, and Sessions is very good defensively. At that time, the Knicks' defense really didn't have any weaknesses. A defense without any obvious weaknesses is actually a very strong defense. The Pacers were like that, with Roy Hibbert on the inside and Paul George on the outside, two very good defensive players, and then the other players didn't hold back. That makes the Pacers' defense very good.

However, good defense is only relative, it does not mean that your team's good defense can make the opponent score low, sometimes it also depends on the opponent's table, it can only be said that it is placed in the whole season to look at it vertically, and the team's defensive efficiency is better.

And now the Knicks are like that, and while the defense was good today, Stephen Curry's small defensive holes are not a big deal.

However, it still couldn't suppress the Lakers' scoring, or more accurately, Kobe Bryant's scoring, in the third quarter.

From the time Kobe Bryant hit that three-pointer in front of Andre Iguodala, Kobe Bryant was out of control.

The continuous scoring made the fans at home scream one after another. This is also very normal, the current Kobe Bryant can be said to be at the peak of his career, although the current Kobe Bryant can not average 35 points per game in the season, but the current Kobe Bryant is infinitely close to the championship. Last year's finals have already made the fans of the City of Angels very excited. After such a long period of inaction in the playoffs, the team has finally become a strong contender for the championship after the management has brought in Pau Gasol, how can the fans among the angels not be excited.

Kobe Bryant realistically shot a three-pointer in front of Andre Iguodala and then turned over for a jumper, but he ignored Andre Iguodala's defense and hit it. Then Kobe Bryant drew another defensive foul on Serge Ibaka on a fast break, hitting both free throws safely. Then he received another shot from Pau Gasol and hit a three-pointer again.

Kobe Bryant's small burst successfully helped the team to 10 consecutive points. Although this is very cool, and Kobe Bryant got it alone, it is very capable of stirring up the atmosphere of the scene.

However, despite Kobe Bryant's own good play, he still failed to narrow the margin to single digits.

Because during the period when Kobe Bryant scored 10 points in a row, the Knicks didn't score a point. Chen Jiyuan is under Bynum's defense. The hook hand scored two points. Then Stephen Curry also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

This made the score on the court 58:48. The ten-point advantage still allowed the Knicks to continue to maintain control of the game.

Throughout the third quarter of the game, the Lakers almost played a climax to chase points many times, but they were stopped by the Knicks in time every time.

The whole Lakers are very depressed. Finally, the third quarter was over, and the score was still in double digits. The score became 77:66.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks have maintained their previous state, and although the Lakers have also made a lot of changes to recover the score, but, except for Kobe Bryant's point, the rest of the points have been defended well, although Kobe Bryant has been scoring, and the scoring efficiency is not bad, but it still can't help the Lakers regain the team's control of the shape on the court.

Until the final minute, the situation of the game did not change, Phil Jackson still let the main players continue to be on the court, but until the game was completely over, the Lakers still could not recover the score. With a 10-point lead, the Knicks ended the game. Managed to maintain his first position in the East.

Although the Lakers lost this game, they still maintained the first place in the West, Kobe Bryant got the highest score of the game, 41 points, and the shooting percentage was still good, 15 of 26 shots, 8 of 8 free throws. Chen Jiyuan can imagine that after the game, his teammate Taikeng's remarks will definitely appear. Pau Gasol and a number of other Kobe Bryant teammates will start talking about the heart again.

Chen Jiyuan scored 31 points in this game, while also grabbing 16 rebounds.

Stephen Curry started the game, the table was very good, under Fisher's defense, Stephen Curry got a lot of shots, and Chen Jiyuan also gave enough shots to Stephen Curry, so that he could show his scoring ability, so in this game, Stephen Curry got the Knicks' second-highest 22 points.

After the game, although Kobe Bryant lost the game, he still said hello to Chen Jiyuan very well.

After winning against the Lakers, the Knicks still breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it is still quite tiring to play consecutive games against strong championship contenders. Both mentally and physically.

But tomorrow back-to-back away games against the Kings. I'm still tired.
