Both sides switched to their mains midway through the second quarter. Because of Landry's play, the Knicks successfully chased the score back, and moreover, they also led by one point. The score was 35:34.

After the timeout, the Lakers sent five people to Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant, Jordan Farmar, Trevor Ariza, and Vladimir Radmanovic on the Lakers' side. In the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, and Pau Gasol have the longest court time, basically close to 40 minutes, unless it's garbage time. Especially now that Bynum is injured, the Lakers have no interior players to rely on, so they can only put Pau Gasol on the court for a longer time, and Lamar Odom's playing time has been greatly reduced compared with last season, the main reason is that in the current team, Lamar Odom is more often played as a substitute for the team, if it weren't for Bynum's injury now, then Odom would not have been a starter.

The five people sent on the Knicks' side are Chen Jiyuan, Starkey, Tony Allen, Stephen Jackson, and Carl Landry.

Landry was kept on the field because he played very well just now.

The game restarted, and when they were off the court, Chen Jiyuan, Thibodeau and everyone found out that Kobe Bryant's hand was indeed very good today. So the defense against Kobe Bryant has to be done well. That's why Tony Allen was brought on the court so that Tony Allen and Stephen Jackson could limit Kobe Bryant together. This is also because Kobe Bryant played too well in the first quarter.

The Lakers attacked first, and Kobe Bryant took control of the ball again, and it can be seen that Kobe Bryant is also excited. The continuous scoring in the first quarter of the game really warmed Kobe's hand, and a superstar like Kobe, once his hand warmed up, it was not so easy to restrict.

Kobe Bryant is facing Tony Allen's defense this time, and he doesn't think it's as easy as Starkey. Kobe Bryant himself took the ball and singled Tony Allen, but Tony Allen's strength is also very strong, and Tony Allen's defense is also very strong, Kobe Bryant leaned on the ball twice, and then pretended to turn to the left, but the feints reflected in the back did not help Kobe successfully ask Tony Allen's defense, Tony Allen was not fooled at all, Kobe had no choice but to choose a backward jumper that turned over. The ball was very difficult, however, but Nima scored. This makes Tony Allen, who is tired and tired of defense, embarrassed. But there is no way to do it, Kobe Bryant's good hand is indeed difficult to do. can only watch Kobe score a goal. It's like all the players back then could just watch Jordan shoot a step-back jumper. Kobe Bryant's leaning back is actually quite inexplicable. 35:36。

Starkey has possessed the ball over half court, in fact, Starkey's possession ability is absolutely no problem, and his passing ability is also good, but there is a weakness in the current lineup of the Knicks. That's the three-point ability. Stephen Jackson has three-point ability, but only Stephen Jackson has three-point ability in the entire Knicks lineup, and Stephen Jackson's three-point ability is a bit substandard. The hit rate was only 33%. In this way, if the Lakers carry out joint defense, the Knicks will be very passive, but Thibodeau still sent Starkey, in addition to his outside ability, Starkey is actually very qualified to play point guard, whether it is passing, ball control, or scoring. On the defensive end, Sessions may have done better, but Starkey's save is a big killer on the offensive end. Thibodeau hopes that Starkey will come in and strengthen the Knicks' offense. There is absolutely no way to compare Sessions' threat on the offensive end to Starkey. This is also the reason why Starkey was able to occupy a higher position in Thibodeau's heart for the time being. And after the season, if Starkey is to be traded, then what to say about Thibodeau will be another problem.

After Starkey dribbled the ball through the half, he passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan was ready to attack with the ball, but it was soon discovered that the Lakers began to wrap up Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan didn't say a word, and directly made a very fast pass, and gave the ball to Tony Allen on the outside, after Tony Allen received the ball, the Lakers' defensive formation changed to joint defense. As Thibodeau imagined, the shortcomings of this lineup that Thibodeau discharged were still seen through by Phil Jackson. The weakness of the three-point shot is actually easy to see through, but the Lakers' tactics changed really quickly. Just as the Lakers were returning to defense, Phil Jackson quickly shouted at the Lakers' players to join forces and defend together. As for how to defend together, Phil Jackson doesn't need to worry about it.

The players on the pitch are naturally able to adjust quickly.

For this game, Chen Jiyuan also attaches more importance to it, after all, it is an opportunity to play against a super strong team, and Chen Jiyuan also hopes to win this game well. But now it's hard for the Knicks to break through the Lakers' defense.

Tony Allen basically has no three-point ability, and he must rush inside, but in the process of rushing inside after Tony Allen receives the ball, the Lakers' defensive formation quickly returns. And very quickly, he let go of Chen Jiyuan's bag, and immediately clamped the player who held the ball into the inside line. Tony Allen didn't have a good chance to break in here, and Tony Allen's offensive ability was just a loss. Pointing at Tony Allen to score 40 points and win the game, it will have to wait until the next life.

Tony Allen's sprint didn't work. It can only be after passing the ball out, and Stephen Jackson on the outside receives the ball. Shoot straight three-pointer, but unfortunately miss. The chance of the ball was already good, because although the opponent's defense ran out in time, it still had little effect on Stephen Jackson's shot. But Stephen Jackson's three-pointer still didn't score, after all, Stephen Jackson's three-pointer was just a disqualified player. In fact, Sessions' three-point shot is not very accurate, but it is definitely much better than Starkey's three-point shot. Compared to Starkey's 22.8 percent shooting, Sessions' 33.0 percent shooting percentage is really good. Especially when Starkey only averages 1.0 three-pointers per game, and Sessions averages 3.4 three-pointers per game, it shows how poor Starkey's three-point shooting strength is.

After Stephen Jackson missed a three-point shot, because the Lakers adopted a joint defense, so the personal card position was not so accurate, Chen Jiyuan took this opportunity to successfully use his bounce to grab a rebound, and then Chen Jiyuan quickly jumped twice and quickly threw the ball out, although Gasol turned around and wanted to block Chen Jiyuan, but the hook shot point was very high, and Gasol did not cover it. Chen Jiyuan successfully scored the ball. The shooting training and hook training that I insist on every day are not unthinkable. 37:36。

This situation sometimes occurs when joint defense, because there is no one in the opposite position, so when grabbing rebounds, there is often no one in the position, and the defensive rebounds are sometimes not well protected. But this also has to be a master of offensive rebounding on the opposite side of the game to reflect this shortcoming of the joint defense.

And Chen Jiyuan is precisely the master of this frontcourt rebounding master. This season's average frontcourt rebounds per game have increased slightly compared to last season, if there is a reason, that is, the defensive rebounds have been snatched by a dead fat man. Chen Jiyuan can only put more energy into grabbing frontcourt rebounds, and the inside line Chen Jiyuan and Lefu are both masters of frontcourt rebounds, and the opponent is indeed a little difficult.

Chen Jiyuan grabbed this rebound and helped the Knicks temporarily take the lead.

said that it was temporary, because when he turned around, Kobe Bryant immediately made a three-pointer, and the ball bounced out of the frame, but the Lakers players pulled the ball to the outside, and after Kobe Bryant picked up the ball, he shot a three-pointer again, and the ball hit steadily. 37:39。

Thibodeau's policy of defending Kobe Bryant was very resolute and obvious. That's not to clip Kobe Bryant anyway. No matter how many points Kobe Bryant scored, he resolutely did not include Kobe. Even if Kobe Bryant gets 1,000 points, it is estimated that Thibodeau's character will not be covered. Thibodeau is also a very persistent man.

Kobe Bryant was not caught by the Knicks in normal games, so now the scoring hand is cool. And today, Kobe Bryant is very accurate, whether it is a three-point or two-point shot. This stimulated Kobe's desire to score even more. It's just a kind of realm without SEI.

Starki dribbled the ball through the half, this time it was Famar who defended Starki, Starki continued to change direction, and then dribbled under his crotch, quickly accelerated to the left, and passed Farmar in one step, but soon the Lakers' supplementary defense was in place, and the joint defense was a nightmare for breakthrough players.

Starki rushed up to speed, but couldn't get out of the encirclement of Vladimir Radmanovic and Famar, and Starki forced a jumper when he had no choice, but the ball was deflected. Chen Jiyuan was not able to grab the rebound in the front court again. This is also normal, if the Lakers' frontcourt rebounds are so easy to grab, then the Lakers will not be able to win this year's championship.

There is no championship team that has a bad defense, even if it was the Heat that year, although there were no tall players to guard the interior, but James and Wade are defensive masters in their respective positions, and James has entered the best defensive team for five consecutive years, and the second team in the sixth year. Is it that easy to do? And at that time, the Heat's overall defense was very good, leading the league in making turnovers, and the opponent's scoring ability after mistakes was the best in the league.

After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, they didn't rush forward to attack quickly, because the Knicks' return defense was still very fast, although Chen Jiyuan's return speed was a little slow in order to grab the frontcourt rebound, but the return speed of the other four people still gave the Lakers no chance to take advantage of it.

After Famar dribbled the ball past half court, Kobe Bryant held the ball again, this time Kobe did not have any good chances, but under the tough defense of Tony Allen, Kobe Bryant still made a drifting jumper, which was very difficult, and the ball did not score. Lefu grabbed the backcourt rebound, and now Lefu does not have superb long-pass skills, after all, Lefu has just entered the league, and many of Lefou's skills are acquired after entering the league.

Love gave the ball to Starkey next to him, and Starkey dribbled the ball through the half, pulled up for a jumper, and hit the iron. The Lakers struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and Bryant once again forced a shot under Tony Allen's tight defense, but the ball was still deflected. Chen Jiyuan and Gasol were entangled together, and Chen Jiyuan jumped up to grab the rebound. Gasol was on the right side of Chen Jiyuan, not like giving up this rebound, in the process of Chen Jiyuan landing, he reached out to drain the ball, but Chen Jiyuan quickly hugged the ball in his arms after he got it, and Gasol's this time, he didn't shoot the ball, but slapped it on the nose, and Chen Jiyuan instantly held the ball and knelt on one knee.

Chen Jiyuan just felt a large wave of pain hitting his nose, how strong the NBA players were, not to mention that this time it hit the bridge of the nose, the damage caused was definitely not so simple.

Chen Jiyuan knelt on one knee, and soon the referee blew the whistle to signal a timeout.

The team doctor of the Knicks quickly stepped forward to investigate Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan is now full of red blood on his nose, and it is obvious that it was not light just now. The Knicks' players gradually surrounded them. Gasol also stood aside. Show yourself kindness. To put it bluntly, I just want to prove that I am also sorry for the ball just now, and I definitely didn't mean to go to someone.

However, Chen Jiyuan's situation is not optimistic, at least, he must not continue to play now.

The team's medical towel covered Chen Jiyuan's nose, and after doing emergency treatment, he helped Chen Jiyuan off the field and into the locker room. After Chen Jiyuan got off the field, the hearts of the fans on the long side hung up. Without Chen Jiyuan, how can the game be played.

Barkley's big mouth will definitely not let go of this opportunity: "Paul said to Chen Jiyuan slightly apologetically, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hit you in the nose." "That means I still want to fight Chen Jiyuan.

Kenny Smith Khan on the side, your sister, you are provoking the love of the home fans.

Kenny Smith was quick to explain: "It can be seen that Paul's ball was a failed steal, and Chen was injured by mistake because of it. However, in that case, the game goes against the Knicks. ”

After Chen Jiyuan left the court, the Knicks replaced Lefu and once again used Lefu to play center.

The Knicks served first, Landry served to Starkey, Starkey quickly dribbled the ball through the half, because there was no Chen Jiyuan's deposit, Starkey had no one to suppress, and the Lakers used joint defense in time, Starkey still didn't care about three-seven-twenty-one, one accelerated past Famar, although Famar is a conscientious and good player, but the physical talent is really not very outstanding, and there is no way to be passed by Starkey in one step, this is not a matter of hard work or not. Starki passed Farmar, but he didn't have a good chance to make a move, because he had two people in front of him, Vladimir Radmanovic and Trevo Ariza. Starki didn't have a chance at all, Starkey could only make a forced shot, but it happened to be out of the way.

The Lakers quickly launched a fast attack after grabbing the rebound, but the Knicks defended very quickly, and now under Thibodeau's teaching, the Knicks' defense has been getting better and better, and it is no longer at the same level as last season. Last season, the Knicks were often scored by opponents scoring more than 100 points, but the Knicks were able to win 46 games in that case. It can only show that the Knicks' offensive firepower is more fierce, after all, it is the league's scoring champion. And now the Knicks' defense is getting better and better, and they are becoming more and more disciplined. The Lakers didn't have a good opportunity to break fast, Farmar saw Kobe Bryant reach out for the ball, so he passed the ball through, Kobe faced Tony Allen's defense, a pull-up jump shot, Tony Allen tried his best to come forward to defend, but where was Kobe's shot so easy to cover, and Tony Allen's action was judged to be a foul because the action was too big. Bryant got two free throws.

Bryant hit the first free throw safely, but the second free throw was missed, and Love quickly protected the backcourt rebound, and then gave the ball to Starkey near the midcourt.

After receiving the ball, Starkey quickly moved forward with the ball, after half court, Starkey took the ball to the left side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Starki in the defense of Farmar, saw that the Lakers' defensive formation has not yet fallen, he took the ball to the inside, a leftward acceleration, Farmar gave half of the body, and then, Starkey made an emergency stop, shook it, Farmar pounced, Starki ran to Farmar and crashed, and then in the case of body deformation, he also shot this mid-distance, a beautiful 2+1 hit it.

Starkey shouted excitedly. Continuous high kicks of the knee. to express your excitement. The Knicks' offense was slow to open, Chen Jiyuan had to go to treatment, and at this critical moment, Starkey was able to stand up and get such a 2+1, which was a great help to morale.

Stephen Jackson, Tony Allen and others quickly walked over and high-fived Starkey.

Such a goal is very timely for the Knicks, and at this time when the Knicks' morale is so low, a wonderful goal is a must. The audience on the sidelines was also extremely powerful, and they were all shouting hard. Many fans high-fived each other in celebration after seeing Starkey's goal.
