Of course, Phil Jackson knows what it means for Thibodeau to replace Chen Jiyuan at this time, if it is another young head coach, maybe he will consider Kobe Bryant on the court at this time to avoid the team's point difference being pulled in, but Phil Jackson doesn't think so, indeed, Chen Jiyuan will play more easily when facing substitute players, which is inevitable, but, even if Chen Jiyuan chases the score back a little now, Odom's state is so good today, as long as he can not be overtaken by the Knicks, then, The Lakers can accept that Chen Jiyuan is an inside player after all, if Chen Jiyuan can play the full 48 minutes and still fill in the game, then Phil Jackson will call 110 to call the police.

Phil Jackson asked Bynum to go up and entangle with Chen Jiyuan, and then, today Phil Jackson will play this game at his own pace.

Although the situation of the game is changing at any time, in Phil Jackson's opinion, Thibodeau has begun to be anxious in today's game, and he has temporarily lost his rhythm, so Phil Jackson is very confident of winning this game.

After Chen Jiyuan came on the court, it also played a little effect, and after attracting the attention of the Lakers' defense, Curry found an opportunity on the outside and successfully hit two three-pointers.

But those two three-pointers only helped the team recover the three-point deficit. The Knicks still trailed the Lakers by six points at 32:38.

And at this time, the Lakers also replaced all the main players on the court.

After Curry hit two three-pointers in a row, it was still quite helpful to Chen Jiyuan, and Chen Jiyuan also took advantage of the Lakers' defense to expand a little, and grabbed Bynum on the inside, and turned around and hooked his hand easily, Chen Jiyuan also looked at Bynum very provocatively, and gave a look, Bynum knew that Chen Jiyuan was more than how much was contained in this look.

As the game progressed, more and more into the rhythm that Phil Jackson wanted. Although the Knicks' offense was not completely stagnant, Chen Jiyuan did not lead the whole team to chase the score back, let alone overtake.

After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he even widened the gap in the score to double digits, which was very embarrassing.

The Lakers' players are more and more relaxed, the pressure on the interior is gradually reduced, and once the mentality improves, the Lakers' players' performance also improves.

It's that simple, and the pitchers on the Knicks' side, perhaps because they were too smooth before, started to be anxious when this game didn't go well.

In one, perhaps even more anxious for them, is the ring. Seeing that the ring is about to arrive, as long as you win this game, then the Knicks will really create a miracle.

In just a few years, it has become a championship, obviously not long ago, it was still a team that everyone loved, who met and who was happy, and a group of good people who sent warmth everywhere, and now they have become the champion.

What could be more?

In fact, not only other people were anxious, but Chen Jiyuan's heart was also a little impatient. For the championship ring, Chen Jiyuan is also very eager for it, don't mention the championship won in the knights with Chen Jiyuan, for that ring, Chen Jiyuan has always felt that it is an element of luck, in addition, at that time, he was in the team, he could only be said to be a second-in-command, and even many people did not become the so-called second-in-command, that is, they were not big leaders.

Chen Jiyuan was far from satisfied with this.

What Chen Jiyuan wants is to win the championship with the ball, and Chen Jiyuan also remembers that he bragged about it in the Knicks, he is a man who wants to win the championship within five years, not to take money from the Knicks.

So, this game, to win.

And these impatient moods, to a certain extent, affected Chen Jiyuan's play, the first quarter of the game felt very smooth, at that time was okay, when the feel was relatively smooth, it was naturally able to relieve the anxiety in the heart, however, at this time, because of the change of the Lakers' defensive strategy, plus their own feel is also a little cooled, a little bit of unsmoothness, it may become a fuse that causes anger.

The impatience continued among the Knicks.

That nearly ruined the game, as the Knicks had already paid the price for their anxiety after the second quarter, and at halftime, the Lakers stretched the margin to 17 points.

Such a huge point difference made the Knicks fall into a semi-desperate situation all of a sudden.

The reason why it is said to be a semi-desperate situation is because, not long ago, that is, two years ago, it was also an incident that happened to the Lakers, and that incident gave hope to the current Knicks.

That is, in the 2007-08 NBA Finals stage, in the fourth game, the Lakers once led by 20+ points, but the Celtics used a quarter of the game to recover the loss of points, making the difference 2 points.

And now the Knicks are less than 20 points behind, so the Knicks don't have to completely despair, the NBA is a place that needs miracles.

Although it is said that this is the case, there are many times when we have to know that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Although Chen Jiyuan had been quite calm at halftime and had suppressed his anxiety as much as possible, this could not be a factor in the team's complete reversal.

The pace of the Lakers is still very good, and there has been no collapse, if you want to recover such a big loss of points, and it is under the defensive intensity of the Finals, it is not so simple, it is not a backward team that can be recovered if it plays well, and it also needs the cooperation of the leading team to be able to recover 20 points. And now the Lakers are obviously not working with the Knicks.

Throughout the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks were tired and tired, and it took them to change the score difference from 17 points to 11 points. It's not easy.

You know, Kobe Bryant's hand feeling is really explosive today.

Under such a huge pressure situation, Kobe Bryant was not overwhelmed by the pressure at all, which is indeed worthy of everyone's respect.

The Knicks also didn't find a chance in the fourth quarter. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that at the last critical moment of the fourth quarter, Chen Jiyuan did feel that his physical strength was a little exhausted.

However, outsiders can't see it, and all Chen Jiyuan's actions are no different from usual. The reason why Chen Jiyuan feels a little weak is because every time Chen Jiyuan shoots, he will continue to exert force, and his wrist will also feel a little weaker.

Chen Jiyuan knew that this was because he was behind today, and he suddenly played 42 minutes of the game, so his body was also a little uncomfortable.

I have long forgotten how long it has been since I played.

Chen Jiyuan himself doesn't remember. After all, this season's Knicks are really strong, whether Chen Jiyuan is there or not, the Knicks' record is not bad. And that's thanks to the strong performances of the Knicks' other starters and role players.

Therefore, Chen Jiyuan's playing time this season is even shorter than last season. Even in the previous finals, the Knicks' rhythm has always been good, so there is no need for Chen Jiyuan to play for so long. Thibodeau also gave Chen Jiyuan a lot of time to rest. In the final analysis, this is not what Thibodeau likes, and Thibodeau wants Chen Jiyuan to play more time. Thibodeau likes to play with a small squad until he has spent a few of them.

This is not to say that Thibodeau is wrong, but everyone has different concepts, and a small number of rotations is indeed easy to ensure the stability of the team, which can ensure that the team's defensive intensity will not weaken to the greatest extent, and it can make the team's defense as free of holes as possible within the whole game to give the opponent a chance to take advantage of.

But even if the NBA players are superhuman, they are still in the human category after all. That's why Chen Jiyuan asked Latin to put pressure on Xibode, trying to prevent Xibodu from doing this.

After all, he had just become a head coach and had just begun to prove his journey, and Thibodeau would not give up his chance in New York so easily.

But in today's competition, Thibodeau is also very anxious, as long as he wins the championship, then Thibodeau is also a veritable champion coach. Not only is he a champion coach worthy of the name, but he is also a coach who has just become a head coach and won a championship.

It is for this reason that Thibodeau is desperate to win today. also allowed Chen Jiyuan to play almost the entire game.

Chen Jiyuan didn't react in any way, because the mood of this product was not much different from Xibodeau, and Chen Jiyuan also wanted to win this game.

The anxiety of the two most critical players on the team put the Knicks in a disadvantageous position in this game.

So, in this game in Los Angeles, there is nothing abnormal about losing.

When Chen Jiyuan wanted to fight back again and again in the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant led the team to resist tenaciously. Until the end of the game, the Knicks were not able to turn the tide against the sky.

At the end of the game, the Knicks lost the game with a score of 91-99.

Kobe Bryant alone killed 44 points, although Chen Jiyuan's performance was also very good, and Chen Jiyuan also got 32 points, but compared with Kobe's, it seems to be a slight difference.

The victory in this game reserved a chance for the Lakers to turn around. It also avoids the embarrassing situation of the Knicks celebrating the championship on their home court.
