In the Knicks' locker room, Chen Jiyuan did not listen to the head coach's tactical arrangement like the rest, but was examined by the team doctor on the other side.

The team doctor took a detailed look at Chen Jiyuan's nose and no longer bleed, so the hemostatic quilt was taken out. At the same time, the team doctor could only gently pinch Chen Jiyuan's nose and ask if it hurt, Chen Jiyuan shook his head. To be honest, when he first played, he would still be affected by the pain in his nose, but after that, Chen Jiyuan gradually forgot about the pain in his nose, and then forgot about it. And then it won't affect Chen Jiyuan's play. In the last two minutes, Chen Jiyuan felt that his state had completely returned.

After Chen Jiyuan is off the field now, under the examination of the team doctor, he will find that his nose is still a little uncomfortable. It's just that when you're on the field, your attention is no longer on your nose, so you can't feel it.

At halftime, Thibodeau arranged the corresponding defensive tactics for the game in the next place, and in terms of defending Kobe, it was still a headache, after all, it would be difficult to let Kobe score so infinitely, in case it was 81 points again, it would not be fun. What's worse is that if it exceeds 81 points, the Knicks will go even more crazy.

However, despite this, Thibodeau has a headache with Kobe's offensive touch, and Thibodeau will not lightly wrap Kobe, but still defend Kobe Bryant alone. Or Tony Allen, although Stephen Jackson only had one foul and Tony Allen had three. But Stephen Jackson needs a little rest. In what a tough guy, Stephen Jackson is still human, after all, still human.

The second half began. The five people sent on the Knicks' side are Chen Jiyuan, Love Love, Tony Allen, Sessions and Starkey. The Knicks outside players in this lineup are a little short, but there is no need to worry about defensive problems, although Tony Allen is slightly shorter in height. But in terms of strength, he will not suffer at all, and Tony Allen is also Kobe Bryant, so the difference in height is not so big. However, the problem is that Starkey defends the Lakers' small forward, but I think the Lakers will not use a small forward to attack the main offense. So the problem is not very big. If the Lakers really use small forwards to attack, then it's too late to make substitutions.

The five people derived from the Lakers' side are Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Derrick Fisher, and Trevor Ariza. Ariza is still a relatively used small forward in the Lakers. The main thing is that the current Lakers' small forward position can only be supported by numbers. Not having a small forward who can pick up the big beam is the biggest drawback of the Lakers. It is also the biggest weakness of the lineup. This is also the biggest disadvantage of the Lakers against the Celtics. Because the Celtics' small forward is one of the strongest in the league. Then the Lakers could only use the wheel war, sending a large group of small forwards to stand on Pierce, but the effect was obviously not very good.

The second half of the game began, the Lakers attacked first, and now the Lakers are in possession of Derrick Fisher, which is not a good thing for the Knicks, if there is anyone who dares to point fingers at Kobe Bryant since he loves you and left, then this person must be Derrick Fisher. Fisher is very old, but he also has a lot of prestige. And the game is very experienced. Even in the face of Kobe, Fisher can say something about this, that, and that, and Fisher will not let Kobe be so careless of singles.

Although Kobe Bryant reached out to Fisher to ask for the ball, Fisher made a gesture to let Kobe go down, and then, at the same time, Fisher passed the ball to Gasol, as soon as Gasol received the ball, the pressure of defense came to Chen Jiyuan, and Chen Jiyuan stuck Gasol deadly. Gasol turned his back to the basket, held the ball, and began to play Chen Jiyuan with his back to the single, Gasol's back singles rely more on footwork, although there are times when he uses his body, but rarely, because Gasol's strength is not weak, but he doesn't like to use it. It's all a matter of personal preference. Just like Chen Jiyuan, when he is playing with his back to himself, he always likes to use his strength to eat his opponent, and after getting the ball under the basket, Chen Jiyuan always likes the kind of kick that looks at the world by pushing the opponent away and pulling up the violent dunk.

After Gasol hit it twice, he began to walk to the middle, Gasol's footsteps were still quite fast, but Chen Jiyuan still followed, Gasol was on the front of the basket, directly hooked his hand, Chen Jiyuan quickly jumped up to block Gasol, but he didn't expect Gasol to be a feint, this feint was extremely realistic, Chen Jiyuan was stunned and was shaken away. After Chen Jiyuan flew away, Gasol hit the ball in a small pick-and-roll without hurrying. Lefu couldn't catch up at all. 62:61。

There is no way to do this, Gasol's interior offensive power is absolutely undoubted, and Chen Jiyuan's defense has done his best. There's no way to prevent it.

The Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan wanted to single Gasol to return one, but he missed and missed the jump shot.

But Love grabbed the rebound, and Love passed the ball to Sessions on the outside, ready to organize a re-offense. Sessions passed the ball to Starkey, Starkey immediately started to speed and rushed into the inside, in front of Kobe, Starkey changed direction, and then stopped the jump shot, Kobe stepped forward in time to interfere, and Starkey The ball was also deflected. This time, Gasol protected the rebound in the backcourt, and Fisher received a pass from Gasol.

The Lakers slowly dribbled the ball through the half, and Kobe Bryant received a pass from Fisher this time, but Kobe Bryant's outside three-point shot did not score.

After Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound, the Knicks' offense was also ironed. During this time, both sides have been striking iron. As soon as the second half began, the two sides began to strike frequently.

In the entire fourth quarter of the game, Gasol scored 2 points at that time, and no one scored after that. It's just so boring. It can only be said that it is very coincidental that both sides have fallen into a scoring drought, and Kobe's feel is no longer there, during this time, Kobe Bryant shot three three-pointers, but none of them hit, it seems that Kobe's shooting rate has returned to normal. On the Knicks' side, the two main attackers, Chen Jiyuan and Starkey, also missed shots in a row. So the game between the two sides fell into a very strange, very weird, very stalemate.

And it was Chen Jiyuan who finally broke this situation. In the process of going down, Chen Jiyuan received a pass from Starkey and successfully dunked it, which can be regarded as breaking his own scoring drought, breaking the scoring drought of the Knicks, and also breaking the scoring drought of the whole court. 63:62。

After Chen Jiyuan got these two points, the two teams fell into a scoring slump again. The fans are going crazy watching the game. I don't know if it was the teams on both sides that strengthened their defenses in the second half of the game, or whether both sides happened to score goals in the second half. Anyway, this third quarter game was a mess, just no goals.

It wasn't until halfway through the third quarter, six minutes later, that both sides had two points each. Then, finally, the game started to get "normal".

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant finally opened a three-point shot, and under the defense of a Tony Allen, Bryant still hit this three-pointer and successfully helped the team score three points. 63:65。

Then on the Knicks' side, Sessions quickly made a three-point shot and wanted to return a three-pointer, but unfortunately Sessions's three-pointer didn't go in.

The Lakers' fast break, Ariza quickly ran to the front half with the ball, but under the interference of Stephen Jackson, Ariza's layup turned off and then didn't get the whistle. This offensive opportunity was wasted. Bryant looked at Ariza with a murderous look, because Ariza had missed the Nth ball. Today's game has been played for three quarters, and so far, Ariza has scored 0 points and made 7 shots. None of them hit. It would be strange if Kobe Bryant could be satisfied with such a table.

Stephen Jackson dribbled the ball across the half court and passed the ball to Sessions, this time Sessions broke through a step, and then gave the lateral ball to Starkey, Starkey had a speed dislocation, and successfully rushed into the interior by Kobe's side, Kobe Bryant chased the defense behind him, and could give Starkey a big hat at any time, after all, Kobe's explosiveness is still very strong, and Kobe Bryant has not done anything less about chasing the big hat behind him. Especially when you are young.

But Starkey is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, Leng ignored Kobe Bryant and rushed straight into the inner line, Gasol was pulled out of the inner line by Chen Jiyuan, because Chen Jiyuan's middle distance really can't be put away. So, Starkey faced the empty basket and jumped up directly, which was a one-handed dunk, Kobe Bryant wanted to pull the ball off behind him, but Starkey shot quickly, dodged Kobe's hand, and successfully dunked the ball into the basket.

After Starkey dunked the ball, he was also excited, and after landing, Starkey shouted at the crowd outside the field. to vent your excitement. 65：65。

In the third quarter of the game, both sides scored very little, and as a result, both sides did not score more than 20 points in the entire third quarter. The Knicks scored 19 points and the Lakers scored 18. When the third quarter ended, the score was 80-78.

This was quite unexpected. Just when fans thought that the Lakers and Knicks would end the game with a high score, the two sides actually did something like this in the third quarter of the game. It seems that whether it is Knicks fans or Lakers fans, the original expectation of 1340 points has come to naught. After all, for fans, this kind of game without scoring a goal in half a day is the most boring. The game that fans like to watch is the offense, the offense is the offense. And how to cater to the likes of fans is the theme song of the NBA. It was also the direction that Stern worked hard to develop during his reign, and in order to attack, Stahn also improved a lot of rules. For example, after a player receives the ball, in all leagues, he can only take one step, but the NBA is the first league to stipulate that he can take two steps. The main reason for this is to encourage attack. Stern knows too well that offense is what fans like, and offense can make fans more excited, so fans are more willing to pay for the NBA league, so Stern will encourage offense for one day when he is in power, which is why Stern doesn't like the Spurs and Pistons.

Because the two of them once set a record for the lowest ratings in history. This record has not been broken to this day. In the defensive battle between the Spurs and the Pistons that year, the fans who watched it were haggard, frightened, and their hearts were dead. This Nima is too cheating, okay?

After the start of the fourth quarter, the offense of both sides still did not improve much. The Knicks are okay on their side. Intermittently you can score a goal. On the Lakers' side, it's miserable. Because Kobe Bryant was targeted by Stephen Jackson. When the feel is not very good, Kobe Bryant often begins to run and look for opportunities to shoot, instead of forcing singles. The reason for this is that Fisher doesn't give Kobe the ball, and Kobe can't run if he wants to. Fisher is definitely one of the people Kobe Bryant respects the most. During the interview on another talk show, when asked about his favorite golfer, Kobe Bryant replied without hesitation: "Derek, this doesn't need to be chosen." ”

Many people thought that Kobe would choose Gasol, because Gasol was the main person who helped Kobe Bryant advocate for the championship again, and the relationship between Gasol and Kobe was indeed very good, Kobe Bryant said that he hoped to retire with Gasol. But even so, Gasol still failed to replace Fisher's place in Kobe's heart. This is also very normal, mainly Kobe Bryant is a paranoid and a very strict person, therefore, in fact, it is not too much to say that Kobe is a more difficult person to get along with, because paranoia and a super strong desire to win are combined with a person, which can indeed make this person successful, but at the same time, it will also bring some bad effects to this person, because he is too paranoid, because he is too eager to win, so he will naturally become paranoid and strict with his teammates. But why there are few bad rumors in the Lakers' locker room is because of the small player's deposit. This small man has silenced the entire Lakers' locker room. This small player is able to handle Kobe Bryant and the rest of the players at the same time. This tiny player is probably the only guy in the entire league who can do that. This guy is Derek Fisher. So, in a sense, although everyone on earth knows that Fisher is getting slower, older, and in worse condition, Phil Jackson has always insisted on not agreeing to trade Fisher, and here's why. This is also a kind of helplessness for the Lakers' guards to get worse and worse, but there is no way to make changes.

Therefore, Derek Fisher is definitely the kind of player who Kobe Bryant reaches for the ball and then he dares to let Kobe pull it aside. But when the Lakers couldn't open the situation for a long time, Fisher had to change his tactics here, give the ball to Kobe, and also give Kobe Bryant room to play alone. Now Stephen Jackson is under a lot of pressure.

Every time Kobe Bryant catches the ball, Stephen Jackson has to watch Kobe's every move in detail with full attention. By the time four minutes had passed in the fourth quarter, the scores had barely risen for either side. The score on the field was 86:80.

And at this time, Kobe's time has come. Kobe Bryant once again proved to the world that his reputation as the league's first person is not fake. is not blown. If it's a mule or a horse, you'll know if it's a horse.

Bryant first made an unreasonable dry pull-out big two-pointer under Stephen Jackson's defense. The ball goes in. 86:82。

This is just the beginning. After that, Bryant went crazy.

Not only did Knicks Sessions make a pull-up jumper, Gasol grabbed the rebound, Kobe Bryant received Gasol's pass, quickly dribbled the ball across the half, and then made a three-pointer shot, although the ball was not very straight. But it still got into the hoop. 86:85。

This Kobe Bryant doesn't give face like this, and Chen Jiyuan can't bear it anymore.

Chen Jiyuan singled Gasol with the ball, Gasol tried his best to defend, but Chen Jiyuan jumped into the basket with a big jump, and then successfully scored the ball with a hook hand. Gasol didn't make extra moves, fearing a foul. 88:85。 In fact, the reason why Chen Jiyuan didn't start scoring until this time was because Chen Jiyuan actually shot before, but he didn't feel very good, so he didn't score. And now this close-range attack has made Chen Jiyuan a little confident in scoring goals. Although it is just a ball, it does have a lot of confidence in Chen Jiyuan and is of great help.

Kobe Bryant successfully broke into the interior under the defense of Stephen Jackson, Kobe's explosiveness is still quite strong, an acceleration, and then a change of direction, successfully made Stephen Jackson lose his defensive position.

After rushing into the inner line, Chen Jiyuan of course went up to make up for the defense. However, Kobe Bryant made a pick-up, dodged Chen Jiyuan's block, and successfully scored the ball. 88:86。

Knicks attacked, after Chen Jiyuan held the ball, he singled Gasol with his back, and saw that the Lakers were going to be in the bag, Chen Jiyuan quickly turned around and jumped, and the shot was very chic, Gasol jumped forward with all his might, trying to block the ball, but unfortunately it was still unsuccessful, Chen Jiyuan's hand felt a lot better, the ball jumped twice on the frame, and finally fell obediently into the basket in Chen Jiyuan's murderous eyes.

The fan-favorite plot seems to have finally begun. A scoring battle between the former two-time scoring champion and the current scoring champion.
