This disadvantage in the second quarter of the game made the Lakers fall into passivity all of a sudden.

Fortunately, the Lakers have a halftime break to adjust, otherwise, if they continue at this pace, maybe this period of time will open the score between the Knicks and the Lakers. So that the Lakers have no chance to turn the tables again. In this case, Phil Jackson could also change the mentality of his players at halftime. Let the players compete more aggressively in the second half.

However, at halftime, Phil Jackson still got bad news. In this game, Bynum will definitely not be able to continue to play, according to a simple inspection, this injury is likely to be a broken bone, so it is certain that he will not be able to get out of this game, as for whether this series of games can still play, we have to wait for a detailed examination tonight to know.

Without Bynum on the inside, Phil Jackson is indeed a headache, when Bynum is on the court, it is very uncomfortable to defend Chen Jiyuan, not to mention the lack of Bynum, an excellent defender.

Phil Jackson understands how important Bynum is to the Lakers' interior line. This is especially important when the opponent's interior line is strong.

The 2009-10 season was not the era of small ball in our later generations, it was still the era of big men on the inside.

If any team doesn't have a good big man guarding the inside, then there is basically a chance that this team will want GG Smecta nine times out of ten.

This situation in the alliance has gradually changed since 2011. The first time the Heat won the championship, it was a small-ball lineup, and the team's center Bosh is not the kind of traditional interior player.

And this situation is even more obvious in the Warriors later, the team's interior line is a Green who is only 2.01 meters tall to prop up. And the Warriors relied on this lineup, and really set the league's best opening streak in the 2015-16 season.

However, the inside talent of that era withered, and the big man did not have much dominance. It is precisely because there are not many strong players on the inside that the team chooses to play the over/under ball.

Although there was a moment when Phil Jackson was very annoyed, after all, he was the head coach who had already received more than N championship rings.

Phil Jackson used the world's most awesome trick - Ninja Invincible Mouth Escape Technique.

I began to talk to my teammates, why can't we give up hope like this, the world is beautiful, we have to have a bright future. To work hard, to work hard. As long as you struggle, Dick Si can also become rich and handsome

Anyway, judging from the performance of the second half of the game, Phil Jackson's mouth seems to be working well.

As soon as the game came up in the third quarter, the Lakers' players were all scrappy.

The Knicks attacked first, and although Sessions didn't play well in the last game, trust won't disappear because of one game. Thibodeau certainly still likes Sessions above Curry.

After halftime, because Chen Jiyuan felt that he should open the gap on the inside, he took the initiative to reach out for the ball, and Gasol and Chen Jiyuan screamed the entanglement of the position.

But Gasol is still slightly inferior to Chen Jiyuan in terms of strength.

Chen Jiyuan's position in the reasonable collision area in the middle was to reach the ball, and then his shoulder shook to the left, Gasol was unmoved, Chen Jiyuan volleyballed, turned to the right, and waited until Gasol made a move with Chen Jiyuan's movements, Chen Jiyuan suddenly turned back to the front, and directly shot with a small hook. The ball was shot quite high and Gasol couldn't get the hook to be blocked.

The ball spun around the basket and hit the rebound before it went into the hoop.

Although Chen Jiyuan's hook hand has not become synonymous with him like Tiangou, it is also a major skill of the alliance.

Chen Jiyuan's small hook hand is often after the impact, and there is an opportunity to directly hook the hand. In the midst of physical confrontation, Chen Jiyuan was still able to maintain a super high hit, which is because Chen Jiyuan kept practicing shooting and hooking hands all year round.

Since his rebirth, Chen Jiyuan has not stopped practicing shooting and hooking hands for a day. Years of practice will pay off Chen Jiyuan in the competition.

Many people envy Chen Jiyuan's unparalleled amazing talent, but no one knows how long Chen Jiyuan has persevered to have such more and more sophisticated offensive skills today.

When I first entered the league, it was true, perhaps because I didn't pay much attention to a newcomer like myself, which gave me a lot of easy offensive opportunities.

Gradually, as he became the pillar of the team, the defense he received became stronger and stronger, and the more unreasonable he became, but even so, Chen Jiyuan still maintained a good efficiency and crazy scoring, because Chen Jiyuan exercised his scoring ability more crazily, and made his simple and effective offensive methods more effective. The scoring rate is even higher.

When the Lakers' interior line loses Bynum's protection, relying solely on Gasol's defense will definitely have problems. And Chen Jiyuan is now aiming at this problem, infinitely magnifying.

Phil Jackson really hated Chen Jiyuan. You kid, what the hell, you won't let go of other people's weaknesses. , looks like I'm going to have to give you some color.

Chen Jiyuan continued to succeed on the inside, and the Lakers had to change their defensive strategy and greatly shrink their defense to give Chen Jiyuan more defensive pressure. So that Chen Jiyuan had no way to attack comfortably.

Although doing so will result in the Knicks getting a lot of good opportunities from beyond the three-point line. But I can't take care of it at this time.

Fortunately, the team now has an Artest, Artest is a very good presence both inside and outside defense, if it is still Vujacic and Ariza to support the team's small forward position, then Phil Jackson will have 20 shots. There is no play, the team's only strong center is injured and cannot play, and the opponent's center position is still the best center in the league. This is simply a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Those two people, let alone help the interior defense, even the players who defend the small forward position they should defend may not be able to do this at all.

With Artest's signing, Phil Jackson has never felt the value of this signing more than now.

Although Artest has made a little contribution to the restriction of Chen Jiyuan, it will inevitably make the team's outside defense porous. And there are still relatively many loopholes.

Chen Jiyuan shined in the third quarter of the game, and one person connected the offense of the whole team.

Chen Jiyuan scored, assisted, grabbed rebounds, and did not fall. The ease of effort helped the team establish a small advantage.

After the end of the third quarter, the Knicks took a 7-point lead, which is not big, but it is difficult for the current Lakers to see a comeback.

The score was 72:65.

However, the 7-point difference is still nothing, and if you want to catch it back, you only need a wave of climax.

And this wave of climax will soon really come.

Kobe Bryant led the team to a wave of climaxes.

Bryant made two three-pointers directly from outside the three-point line by blocking and pick-and-roll, hitting both of them.

In an instant, the advantage of the Knicks became 1 point, and Chen Jiyuan certainly had to respond at this time.

Chen Jiyuan singled Gasol with his back. After leaning on his back, his teammates opened up space for Chen Jiyuan to attack, and after Chen Jiyuan arched his back twice, he directly made a reflexive jump shot, although Gasol is tall and has long arms, but if he wants to block Chen Jiyuan's turnaround and backward jumper, there is still a bit of a gap. What's more, before he made the shot, Chen Jiyuan had already relied on the gap in his body to hit a little distance.

By the time Gasol adjusted his center of gravity and wanted to jump forward to block it, it was too late.

Chen Jiyuan's hand feels good, and he didn't drop the chain at this critical moment. successfully hit this ball, which can be regarded as helping the Knicks stabilize the situation on the court.

But the 7-point lead instantly turned into the current 3-point lead, which is still a big blow to the team's morale, and it is also a big morale boost for the Lakers.

Although he scored this goal, Chen Jiyuan was actually quite melancholy, because Chen Jiyuan was really tired, and he didn't rest at all in the third quarter of the game. And the fourth quarter of the game has been played for another 4 minutes. It's no wonder that the body doesn't feel tired.

Thibodeau saw that it was almost over, made a substitution, and wanted Chen Jiyuan to rest for a while, and then let Chen Jiyuan play at the most critical moment of the game.

But after replacing Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks almost collapsed, because in a defense, Ibaka was caused by Kobe Bryant to make a 2+1.

At the same time, on the offensive end, Stephen Jackson was still in the process of breaking through when Artest picked up the ball, causing the ball to go out of bounds. Lakers' ball possession. This time, the Lakers got a great opportunity,

Kobe Bryant is enough, since he rested for a few minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, he has not been out of the game until now.

I'm still fighting on the field.

However, human beings are human beings after all, and after they get tired, they will definitely have an impact.

This is an excellent opportunity for reversal, Kobe Bryant didn't grasp it.

Bryant didn't hit a big two-point jumper against Iguodala. Gave the Knicks a little respite. At this very moment, no one noticed Sessions' behavior, and Sessions had a momentary mind wandering, which was said to be a mind wanderer, but it was actually a consciousness fugue.

And at this moment, a gleam flashed in Sessions' eyes.

It's just that this light can't be seen if it weren't for the eyelids of this Sessions.

At this moment, Sessions began to feel different.

If anything, it's right, yes, it's Sessions with the confident look and look in his eyes.
