Chapter 566: Battle Lakers (4)
After Kobe Bryant carried out the Lakers' last offense of the first half, there were 8 seconds left before the end of the half, and this last offense, the Knicks naturally handed it over to Chen Jiyuan to deal with.
Stephen Curry quickly ran through the half court with the ball, in which Fisher wanted to steal Stephen Curry's ball, but Stephen Curry dribbled very safely, and Fisher still delayed Stephen Curry's dribbling time.
Stephen Curry ran to the halfway line and gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hand, Chen Jiyuan took a step to the left sideways after receiving the ball, and then glanced at the time. Emergency stop, jump shot, this ball Perkins knew that Chen Jiyuan would definitely not rush into the inside, it should be a jump shot, so this ball Perkins's defensive judgment is very good, but, even if Perkins judged in advance that Chen Jiyuan was going to jump shot, but there was no way to completely judge Chen Jiyuan's shooting time, this ball, Chen Jiyuan's emergency stop, directly let his shot not be blocked, the ball was worthy of crossing Perkins's fingers, and the defense of this ball was very good. However, even under such pressure, even under such strong interference, Chen Jiyuan still obediently sent the ball into the basket according to his own feel.
While the basketball goes into the frame, the red light on the rebound comes on. 51:35。
At half-time, the score was set.
The Knicks led by 16 points at halftime. This advantage is quite large. lost to the Celtics before, and some people say that the Knicks themselves are a team that bullies the weak and fears the hard, and it will be finished when they meet a championship-level team like the Celtics. It is said that the reason why the Knicks have been able to win for so long and occupy the first place in the East is because of the team's better schedule.
And there are also some people who are saying that the reason why the Knicks' winning streak is now terminated is entirely because the team's main players are injured and cannot play. Among these people, the New York Knicks are not only the favorites to win the championship this season, but also the hottest of these favorites. Potential rookies have shown their strength, such a team has greatly increased, the Knicks who have reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year, everyone is strong, they will go further, and everyone knows that they are farther away than the Eastern Conference Finals.
These are two extreme attitude-holding groups. One is adamantly that the Knicks can't do it, and the other is adamantly that the Knicks are particularly good.
And now, the Knicks led the Lakers by 16 points at halftime, and if the Knicks can win this game in the end, at least it proves that they are not particularly bad at that. was able to win last year's Western Conference championship, and this year also strengthened the Lakers after him. Naturally, it proved that the Knicks' previous winning streak relied on strength, not luck.
Although a game can't prove anything in theory, with the previous 12 consecutive wins, it can prove a lot of things.
In the second half of the game, the Lakers changed their defensive strategy and still defended Chen Jiyuan strictly, but Phil Jackson also made some additions to Stephen Curry, who specifically targeted Fisher, that is, when Fisher defended Stephen Curry, he still had to stick it up, and he couldn't let Stephen Curry shoot three-pointers, and Fisher has always done this. And the next defense will depend on Ron Artest, who will empty Stephen Jackson on a certain distance. This is also a helpless move. Although Phil Jackson also knows that Stephen Jackson is also a guy who can score, but now, it still needs to fill the biggest hole, if Stephen Jackson shoots a three-point shot, then there is no way, if Stephen Jackson kills inside, then Ron Artest still needs to go back in time to make up for the defense. The signing of Ron Artest was meant to bolster the defensive line up front. Although it will be tiring, Ron Artest will not take less money. Can you lose such a large share of the salary?
The lineups sent from both sides are the starting lineups.
The Lakers attacked first, Fisher took the ball through the half, and gave the ball to Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol was back to Serge Ibaka in the low post to prepare to play alone, Pau Gasol's back threat was still quite big, this ball Pau Gasol leaned on twice, and then went directly to the middle, hook shot, however, Pau Gasol was a little underestimated Sergi Ibaka's bounce, in the first half of the game, Serge Ibaka and Pau Gasol's alignment time was also quite long. Serge Ibaka also knew a little bit about Pau Gasol's offensive pattern, and this ball, Serge Ibaka's judgment was obviously correct, Pau Gasol's hook hand, the ball flew out of the control of the hand, but touched the palm of another person. Sergi Ibaka's palm, of course. A black palm directly fanned the ball, a very beautiful and neat hat.
Although the ball was fanned, it was picked up by Kobe Bryant first, after picking up the ball, Kobe Bryant took the ball directly, from Pau Gasol's side, bypassed to the basket, but Chen Jiyuan rushed to the basket in time to make up for Kobe Bryant, in order to avoid Chen Jiyuan's block, Kobe Bryant had to dodge out, but when Kobe Bryant successfully stepped out of the jump shot to shoot, he found a little surprise, That is, Serge Ibaka came back for the first time, and Kobe Bryant focused all his attention on Chen Jiyuan, and he forgot about Serge Ibaka behind him for a while.
If you want to talk about blocking ability, Serge Ibaka's blocking ability is definitely not weak, this ball Serge Ibaka saw Kobe Bryant retreating out, and pounced on it as soon as he saw it.
Although Kobe Bryant's ball was already tilted back at a great angle, it still did not escape Sergi Ibaka's hand, and the ball directly touched Serge Ibaka's hand.
The ball jumped high, and when it came, Serge Ibaka and Kobe Bryant jumped together to grab the rebound, but apparently Serge Ibaka's height advantage was still more obvious. Grabbed the rebound before Kobe Bryant.
Serge Ibaka gave the ball to Stephen Curry and ran all the way to the front court.
And Stephen Curry also ran forward quickly after receiving the ball, and came to the three-point line before Sergi Ibaka, Stephen Curry stood near the three-point line, and then the distance between Fisher and Stephen Curry was a little far, Stephen Curry saw the opportunity and chose to shoot without hesitation.
This is also what Chen Jiyuan and Stephen Curry said before, don't hesitate when you have the opportunity, don't worry about the consequences or anything. Only a shot without hesitation can ensure a good hit rate.
Stephen Curry regards Chen Jiyuan as his most admired basketball idol. And now that I'm in a team with my idol, I'm naturally very happy, and I'm naturally very easy to accept about my idol's experience.
However, although Stephen Curry shot the ball the moment he caught the opportunity, the ball did not go in and went wide. Stephen Curry shot from a 45-degree angle on the left side, and the ball swung around the basket before jumping to the middle. This ball, because Bynum's attention was also on Stephen Curry, as a result, when Bynum turned around and was about to grab the rebound, he didn't notice behind him, Serge Ibaka didn't know when he had jumped up, flew in the air, received the rebound with his right hand, and then directly pressed the ball into the basket again. 53:35。
Completed this put-to-basket. Serge Ibaka, who landed on the ground, ran back to prepare for the defense, and excitedly waved his arms at the crowd on the sidelines.
In this round of attack, Sergi Ibaka is indeed excited.
first blocked Pau Gasol's offense, and then stealthily blocked Kobe Bryant's shot. Then came a wonderful deduction. Such a string of excellent performances would surprise people if they weren't excited.
Once back in his own half, Serge Ibaka will need to calm down and prepare for this defence.
Now there is a tendency for the score gap to be further widened. But Phil Jackson still didn't have a rush mentality.
The game continued, the Lakers were attacking, and Kobe Bryant was already starting to get anxious. After all, Kobe Bryant doesn't like the feeling of losing, and that hasn't changed.
This ball Kobe Bryant holds the ball alone, and there is no meaning of passing the ball at all. Kobe Bryant and Andre Iguodala did it.
Kobe Bryant took a step forward with the ball. Andre Iguodala stepped back a little. Then, Kobe Bryant suddenly jumped up and shot a three-pointer. Regardless of Andre Iguodala's defense.
The moment Andre Iguodala saw Kobe Bryant's shot, he also reacted instantly and jumped up to interfere with Kobe Bryant's three-point shot.
However, sometimes, Kobe Bryant comes to the touch, even if he covers his eyes, it is useless, whether it is reasonable or not, hey, he Kobe Bryant can get the ball into the frame. It's really a speechless thing.
That's what this three-pointer is. 53:38。
