For Phil Jackson, the most critical issue right now is that the Lakers have been completely extinguished by the Knicks.

The momentum has been completely lost.

It's really very rare to have a personal three-point performance contest that can't be stopped by a pause, and in Phil Jackson's cognition, there are not many people who can do this, and the last one is Maddie or Miller?

Either way, Phil Jackson didn't want to face such an opponent.

Sessions made three of three three-pointers, which gave Phil Jackson a headache, but Phil Jackson was still very calm.

Although Sessions hit the ball again, Phil Jackson decided to see the Lakers' offense decide whether to take a timeout.

After Fisher dribbled through the half, Bryant reached for the ball and wanted to play a single himself.

Fisher passed the ball over, but Kobe Bryant didn't have any chance, Kobe Bryant originally wanted to force a breakthrough by himself, but after breaking through two steps, he was forced by the Knicks' players to have no room to shoot.

Fisher deftly found his position and then motioned for Bryant to pass the ball here.

Sessions' defensive attention at this time was on Kobe Bryant, so naturally he didn't notice Fisher's presence.

And it was just such a little gap that was caught by Fisher.

Bryant passed the ball, and Sessions also activated the speed at the same time and sped away.

Fisher made a squat that looked like he was about to shoot a three-pointer, but it wasn't over until Sessions flew up to block. Sessions knew he had been fooled. This one from Fisher is just a feint.

And after Sessions flew away, Fisher was unhurriedly ready to shoot this three-pointer.

However, Sessions did not give up this defense because he flew over his head, and Sessions, who forcibly stabilized his body, quickly turned around, and it was impossible to return to a good defensive position.

But Fisher's shooting style was not very high, and the ball was placed a little further back in the preparation of the shot.

Sessions wanted to try to block Fisher's shot behind him.

Sessions was doing his best to twist his body as quickly as possible and reach out to block Fisher's shot, but he was still a step too slow. The ball flew out of Fisher's hand first.

Fisher never showed mercy at such a critical time. The ball hit straight and crisply.

92:85。

Fisher's three-pointer helped the team recover a little bit of disadvantage.

However, Sessions really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh at this time, do you think one of your three-pointers can help the team recover this disadvantage? Do you really think you can stop the wheels of history? (When did this become the wheel of history?) ）

After Sessions dribbled past half court this time, Fisher quickly posted it and didn't give Sessions any chance to shoot a three-pointer.

Sessions took two steps with the ball and gave it to Iguodala.

After Iguodala and Ibaka made a pick-and-roll, Iguodala passed the ball to the high post Ibaka, who made a two-point shot that went wide.

Finally stopped the Knicks' offensive momentum. In this case, the Lakers still have hope of turning the tables in this game.

Phil Jackson had another timeout. This timeout was to give Bryant a break and replace Bryant, with more than 5 minutes left in the game, giving Bryant a two-minute break to play the last three minutes.

And the Knicks replaced Chen Jiyuan at this time, Chen Jiyuan had already rested for three minutes before, and Thibodeau didn't want to give the Lakers a chance to fight back, taking advantage of this time period when Kobe Bryant was resting, and let Chen Jiyuan go up to give the Lakers a fatal blow. This is Thibodeau's idea.

Of course, Phil Jackson also knows what Thibodeau thinks, so during this little time when Kobe Bryant is resting, he must let Gasol play, resist, resist, resist, and wait until Kobe Bryant goes up to end the game.

Phil Jackson blocked everything in the final three minutes, and the Knicks were trying to keep the Lakers without those last three minutes.

This is the focus of the battle between the two sides now.

And the person who decided this focus was Chen Jiyuan.

The game started again, Chen Jiyuan returned to the court, there was nothing to say, Chen Jiyuan originally planned to play singles directly with his back, but in the process of walking to the court, Sessions said to Chen Jiyuan: "Chen, I feel very hot now, can we two block and dismantle." Then it's up to me to choose how to attack. When I find that the hand is not hot, I will give you a single as soon as possible. ”

Chen Jiyuan looked at Sessions, looked at Sessions with an expectant and confident expression, and didn't know why, so he chose to believe Sessions. Nodding in agreement with Sessions' suggestion.

On the Lakers' side, because Kobe Bryant is out of the court, they have to rely more on Gasol on the offensive end. And the defensive restrictions on Gasol naturally have to rely on Chen Jiyuan.

Sure enough, the Lakers attacked first, and the ball was given to Gasol's hands, and Gasol singled with his back, which was naturally defended by Chen Jiyuan.

Although Chen Jiyuan was replaced on the court, Thibodeau did not replace all the main lineup, and Lefu still rested off the court. Ibaka stayed on the pitch. As for Iguodala, he took a break from the game, and Iguodala's playing time was basically the same as Kobe's.

As for Stephen Jackson, he has a decent rest and it's time to play.

Barnes still has plenty of energy, so he continues to stay on the field.

The point guard naturally let Sessions, who has been hot to the point of bursting, come.

Chen Jiyuan looked at Gasol in front of him, Gasol controlled the ball with both hands, his eyes were drifting back and forth, looking as if he was going to pass the ball to the inside, Chen Jiyuan paid attention to the change of the situation on the field while observing the details of Gasol's body.

Suddenly, Gasol moved, leaned his back against Chen Jiyuan, and then suddenly hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Shannon Brown, who cut in the middle.

Shannon Brown cut straight through the middle, and Barnes was focused on Gasol, but Shannon Brown found an opportunity.

However, despite losing his defensive position, Barnes still chased Shannon Brown behind him.

After Shannon Brown received Gasol's pass, he jumped directly and wanted to make a one-handed dunk, and Shannon Brown, who was full of physical fitness, could indeed complete the dunk perfectly.

But only if there is no interference from others.

Especially without the right interference from a strong defender, that's an important foundation for Shannon Brown to complete this dunk.

It's a pity that now someone is going to break this important squeeze out.

Sessions' defensive Fisher laid an ambush on the right, waited for a teammate's pass, and then shot a three-pointer.

But it's a pity that Shannon Brown didn't think about passing at all, and if Shannon Brown had that passing vision, he wouldn't have been unable to play in the NBA. I switched to playing point guard. Shannon Brown's physical fitness is also a "Westbrook" predecessor.

Shannon Brown ran to the basket with explosive and extremely strong physicality. And Sessions relied on the correct defensive prediction ahead of time, and successfully appeared on the road of Shannon Brown's dunk after all.

The moment Sessions pressed his hand to Shannon Brown's basketball, the battle in the air began.

To be honest, in terms of physical fitness, Sessions is not as good as Shannon Brown, but the difference is that Sessions is a player with brains.

Sessions won't choose to collide head-on with Shannon Brown, Sessions is sideways, such a block is very difficult, in fact, if there is a little time deviation, then the block will fail, and the offensive player will dunk the ball into the basket perfectly, and he will become a backshot. It's something that no one wants to happen, and no one wants to be a backdrop.

However, Sessions was very lucky and judged accurately, and he really happened to intercept the dunk.

Shannon Brown's dunk suddenly received a side-side power block, which was naturally instantly off.

The ball was out of Shannon Brown's control, and Shannon Brown still caught the basket, but although he caught the basket, the ball hit the rebound and bounced back.

And Chen Jiyuan, who had just stuck Gasol's position here, happened to receive the ball, and the first moment he received the ball, Chen Jiyuan turned around and looked at the running situation of the Knicks players in the front court.

The information fed back by the eyes is, report, report, brain, there is an enemy situation in front of you, please do not pass the ball.

So, Chen Jiyuan listened to the intelligence of his eyes and gave the ball to Sessions who came to his side.

He had just completed a block, and Sessions was very excited.

The Knicks attacked in the frontcourt, and Chen Jiyuan first blocked and dismantled Sessions as he said, and then Sessions chose the offensive method.

Sessions dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block Sessions, Fisher of course found Chen Jiyuan who came to block and dismantle early, so his body cavity collapsed a step forward, wanting to step past Chen Jiyuan and not let Chen Jiyuan's blocking and demolition delay his defense against Sessions.

After Sessions saw that Chen Jiyuan was in place, he wanted to continue to block and rush to the inside.

Fisher stepped past Chen ahead of time, but Sessions abruptly stopped his attempt to borrow the pick-and-roll, and Sessions made a sharp stop from his left hand, then steadied himself and took a step to the right.

And the distance between Fisher and Sessions is the difference between heaven and earth, Chen Jiyuan moved his ass and body to the right and threw it away, and Fisher couldn't reach Sessions at all.

Gasol on the other side found this and wanted to fill Fisher's position in time, but Sessions did not give Gasol this time, and before Gasol arrived, Sessions had already made a direct three-point shot. The ball went safely into the basket.

95:85。

A block, a three-pointer, instantly put Phil Jackson in a dilemma. also instantly put the Lakers in a desperate situation.
