Chapter 879: The Lakers Who Fly

"Calm down, I need you to calm down, those are good opportunities, you don't have to hesitate, you don't have to hesitate, in that case, you don't have to think about whether to find Shaq in the first place as we arranged before the game"

Dignified, Madison Garden Plaza is now dignified or dignified, and the same, on the bench of the New York Knicks in Madison Garden Plaza, the head coach of the New York Knicks, Phil Jackson, is also constantly mobilizing his players, and at this time, the New York Knicks players around him also have different expressions, Fan Maniac has some unwillingness on his face, Marbury has some regret on his face, and people like Thomas and Odom are a little hesitant, as for the team's boss O'Neal is bowing his head at this time, No one could see what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to hear from his wheezing, he must have been a little tired at this time.

And the scene of the New York Knicks thinking about the bench also made the New York Knicks fans who have been paying attention to the big screen on the scene a little worried, the originally excellent situation has become a floating cloud in a blink of an eye, this feeling will definitely be very uncomfortable, in this case, they can only expect the other players on their team to find their form.

"Kenny, that Chinese is too cunning, if I have such an offensive opportunity I will hesitate, and when the New York Knicks attack hesitates, the Lakers opportunity comes, this seemingly gambling defense can actually be done" Barkley looked at the New York Knicks at this time This solemn atmosphere is also said with a smile.

Zhuang Fei's five players all shrank below the free throw line, which seemed to give the New York Knicks a lot of three-point opportunities to protect the basket and rebounds, but the New York Knicks' offense in this game was all led by O'Neal or Marbury. Whether it's Thomas or Odom, they have good three-point shots. But more of them are attacking with the ball after receiving O'Neal's containment.

In this case. When the Lakers shrink the basket, they cut O'Neal and the other Knicks players directly, and the offense of the other players of the New York Knicks does not need O'Neal's participation at all, and this is not the offensive routine they are used to, when a player plays in a rhythm and routine that he is not used to, they will hesitate even if they have the opportunity to attack, especially Thomas and Odom are not decisive people like Marbury and Van Exel.

And these two are decisive, but the Lakers are all shrinking. But there are always two people who will stick out one or two steps away from these two, although they may not be able to really defend these two, but they can definitely produce some interference, in this case, the shooting percentage of these two people is not very high, especially Marbury. And for a while, the entire New York Knicks also became a little dazed because of this extremely unfamiliar offensive environment.

"Anyway, while Coach Z's approach is peculiar, it works well for the New York Knicks, and now Phil Jackson needs to adjust his players' mental state, if it really doesn't work. In fact, in Kenny Smith's view, the greater significance of Zhuang Fei removing O'Neal from the New York Knicks' offensive system is not to make other New York Knicks players hesitate on the offensive end.

What's more. As long as O'Neal does not participate in the offense, then the Lakers can directly counterattack, just like just now, even if Van Exel threw in three points, but the Lakers can still quickly send the baseline ball and counterattack directly, and there is no way to really suppress the opponent's speed without the participation of interior players, so that it directly falls into the trap of the Lakers, and the speed of the game is instantly raised.

And at this time, O'Neal was a little embarrassed on the court, he was not even eliminated from New York's offensive system by Zhuang Fei, and even eliminated him from the offensive and defensive system of this game, which is the so-called spectators on the court, he can only watch the race between Lakers players and New York Knicks players, and in fact, before this timeout in New York, Van Exel and Marbury, who were on the rise, have also fallen into the trap of the Lakers. If New York continues to fight like this, O'Neill will be directly tortured to death by that Chinese.

"That Chinese is really terrible" When he finally thought of this, Kenny Smith also looked at the Lakers' bench with palpitations and said, and at this time, Barkley on the side naturally did not know that Kenny Smith had thought so far

"Why did you say this happened, didn't you just say that we were still dominating, why is this happening now?"

In a box in Madison Garden Plaza, Xiao Daolan's face was ugly, and the assistant sitting next to him also secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in the face of his boss's questioning, and Xiao Daolan asked him, who should he ask? He didn't know, because it was true that the New York Knicks were still leading in a few minutes, and in the end, they were pulled away by the Los Angeles Lakers by almost ten points in just a few minutes, which is simply an unbelievable thing.

At this time, seeing that his assistant looked panicked, Xiao Daolan also snorted coldly.

This game is the game he has been most looking forward to in recent years, and since the Chinese entered the NBA, he has been described by many as a fool, a fool who missed the league's greatest manager, and even compared his mistake to the Trail Blazers' loss of Jordan, which the New York Knicks general manager naturally cannot agree with.

Whether it is the city, this team or him personally, for that Chinese, it is an undying enemy, and it is a pity that in the past few years, when he and his team faced that Chinese, there was no possibility of victory without accident, and even he himself repeatedly became the laughing stock of everyone, which was simply a shame for him.

And this game is when he thinks he has washed away the shame, in fact, this game is indeed very exciting from the beginning to the present New York game, and he also sees the hope of beating the Chinese, but again, the tragedy is that such hope is only fleeting. In an instant, it was overwhelmed by the momentum of the Chinese's resurgence. He even saw the signs of his failure again, as before.

It also makes him very irritable. If only he could calm down at this time. Then he is not a little Dowland. But no matter how impatient he was at this time. Everything on the pitch has nothing to do with him anymore

"At the end of the timeout, the two sides played again, I don't know what kind of way Phil Jackson can have to deal with Coach Z's seemingly extremely unscientific defensive strategy this time, huh? The New York Knicks did make a substitution, Capono, who had been replaced in the first quarter for two consecutive turnovers, and Thomas was down, and it was clear that Phil Jackson was a little disappointed with the team's three-point shot. But I don't know if Capono can live up to Phil Jackson's expectations"

After watching the players on both sides appear again, Kenny Smith also said with a shock in his spirits, and at this time the New York Knicks also made a regular adjustment, that is, substitutions, it is difficult to make a big change in such a break at this time, but in this extremely unfavorable situation, it is extremely beneficial to the New York Knicks that the second quarter is about to end, and Phil Jackson has enough time to arrange this special change for the Lakers at halftime.

However, for this Knicks, it is enough to be able to keep the score within 10 points in the remaining minutes of the second quarter without being pulled away from the score as much as possible.

And after returning to the court, the Knicks did become calm again. Neither Marbury nor Van Exel are running with the Lakers, it's just the same. They were still faced with the Lakers shrinking to the basket and then O'Neal being blocked by them, and this time Marbury gave the ball to Capono who had just come on the court.

At this time, after Capono received Marbury's pass, his hand also shook, and the basketball he finally threw out smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced directly into Kobe's hand, and at this time Kobe and Paul almost killed directly like two sharp swords, and at this time, Capono, who missed the shot, originally wanted to block Kobe's running route, but he was a step late, and was directly knocked to the ground by Kobe again, and at this time, Kobe Bryant was already a smooth road in front of him.

Phil Jackson, who was watching all this on the sidelines, looked ugly again, and at this time Cappono, who was sitting on the ground on the court, was also annoyed, usually he could hit 99 out of 100 three-point shots, but why did he shoot such an outrageous shot at that time, and in addition to Capono who sat on the ground and was constantly annoyed, O'Neal was standing at the free throw line with his hands crossed and watching Kobe and Paul advance, at this time there were Webb and Hill in front of him, This time, the Lakers' fast break doesn't need him to return to defense, and they don't need Webb and Hill to follow up.

There was no doubt that with a two-handed dunk, Madison Square Square fell silent, and the only sound of Kobe Bryant raging the basket and his roar was left in the sky above the basketball arena.

"It's so brutal" At this time, Barkley looked at the Lakers No. 8 player hanging on the basket and stood up directly from his chair and shouted, while Kenny Smith on the side shook his head at this time.

At this time, Kenny Smith paid attention to Phil Jackson, who was standing on the sidelines with a sluggish face, I am afraid that he himself never thought that this game would turn so quickly, the Lakers would be so fierce after being suppressed for a quarter and a half, and under the momentum of the Lakers, the New York Knicks actually showed signs of collapse.

"Now both Phil Jackson and the Lakers need time to calm down, but I don't know if they can survive this paragraph" Finally, Kenny Smith also said helplessly, in fact, this is also the difference between Phil Jackson and the Chinese, the two are a little different in terms of presence.

It's just that when the game ended at halftime, the score of 75-62 was not too big, but it was enough to give the New York Knicks a headache.

"It's amazing, Kobe Bryant scored 39 points in the half, maybe this game is going for 70 points?" Looking at the technical statistics in his hand, Barkley also said in amazement.

"Now that the Lakers are flying, can the New York Knicks still be able to stop it" is different from Barkley's concern about Kobe's data, Kenny Smith is more concerned about how the New York Knicks will play in the future.

At this time, the Lakers already had an unstoppable momentum. (To be continued.) )
