Compared to Zach Randolph.

Kurt Thomas's offensive approach on the court is more of a mid-range shot.

He is very efficient on the court and has good skills in defending in the low post.

Arguably a great blue-collar player.

It's perfect for partnering with Da Yao.

It can even be said that partnering with Kurt Thomas is the most comfortable partner Da Yao has ever worked with.

Most of the reason why Kurt Thomas was the starter was also here.

It is impossible for Han Ning to put Da Yao on the bench.

That's why Zach Randolph will play on the bench.

That's not to say that Zach Randolph is weaker than Kurt Thomas.

In fact, quite the opposite!

Kurt Thomas is just a blue-collar player.

No matter how strong they are, they are limited by the positioning of blue-collar players.

But Zach Randolph can be one of the top stars in the league!

If it weren't for Da Yao, he would definitely be in the starting lineup.

So when Zach Randolph came on, Karl Malone didn't care too much.

The Knicks' starting power forward didn't make any of them.

Can you turn the world upside down with a substitute?!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zach Randolph came on the court, he gave him a dismissal.

Just this physical quality and the ability to attack inside.

You asked him to play as a substitute?!

Are you crazy or am I crazy?!

For a moment, Carl Malone had a touch of resentment towards Han Ning in his heart.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack.

After Bryant dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball directly into the hands of Karl Malone.

In his opinion, Karl Malone has just been bullied by a substitute.

Now it's natural to return the previous one.

It's an attitude that is necessary to be a star.

Moreover, the Lakers now have a good lead.

So Kobe Bryant didn't care too much about letting Karl Malone play a few more.

The main thing is that in his heart, Karl Malone can still score when he plays a substitute player?!

Karl Malone received a pass from Bryant in the low post.

Then he turned to face Zach Randolph.

Even though he is now forty years old, he has just been bullied by Zach Randolph, which still makes him feel a little aggrieved.

Now that I have the opportunity to come back, I naturally won't let it go.

After slowly dribbling the ball twice, Karl Malone opted for a back-to-back shot.

Playing low backs is what he does best.

Merely.......

One, two, three times later.

Karl-Malone was embarrassed to find that he seemed to be unable to stand up to Zach Randolph.

In desperation, he then raised his elbow and forcibly turned around.

Zach Randolph felt a pain in his chest, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Elbow with me?!

Really, I'm the No. 1 bad boy on the Knicks playing around with you?!

Zach Randolph, who was pushed a step away by Karl Malone's iron elbow, immediately stuck to it again.

Then taking advantage of the angle that the referees couldn't see, he gave Karl Malone a cubit in return.

"Huh?!" Carl Malone snorted, feeling the pain coming from under his ribs.

The basketball in his hand happened to go out of control and flew towards the rebound.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed on the rebound and bounced back to the ground, where it was protected by Zach Randolph for the first time.

Then he glanced at Karl Malone very proudly.

Seems to be saying.

Your elbow strikes....... That's it?!

I couldn't help but sigh in my mouth: "Tut-tut, that's it?!" ”

Suddenly, a wave of anger ignited in Carl Malone's heart again.

As everyone knows, what Han Ning wants to see most is such a picture!

Deal with the postman with a bad boy, and the best thing is to be able to anger the postman!

Let the postman completely fight the bad boys.

In terms of the temperament of these two people, this is basically a matter of course.

In this way, it will not take a single game to make the postman have to leave work.

Ah no.

It's retirement.

Now it seems that the effect is as Han Ning expected!

The Knicks attack.

Aaron Iverson dribbled to the front court and once again passed the ball to Zach Randolph, who was stuck in the low post.

This time, Zach Randolph didn't hesitate.

Played back play directly with Carl Malone.

Karl Malone was also furious, and he pushed it up with all his might.

One, two, three.

With each blow, the pain in Carl Malone's chest intensified.

Then, Zach Randolph took advantage of Karl-Malone's being pushed away, quickly turned around, and gently hooked.

"Huh!"

Two points were scored again.

The situation on the field suddenly turned into a heads-up scene between Zach Randolph and Karl Malone.

In just a few rounds, Zach Randolph performed a variety of inside singles tricks on Karl Malone.

And Carl Malone finally understood how strong the young man in front of him really was!

After four or five minutes, the score between the two teams was 36-26.

The Knicks chased the difference to just 10 points!

Seeing this scene, Han Ning stood on the sidelines and nodded with satisfaction.

When the Lakers finally reacted and called a timeout, Karl Malone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gasping for breath, he walked off the court.

It is conceivable that these few minutes are a huge physical exertion for Carl Malone.

And Karl Malone's heart is also full of resentment towards Zach Randolph.

You're bullying the elderly!

(Zach Randolph: What's wrong with bullying you?!) Lao Tzu is a bad boy, specializing in punching the nursing home in the north! ）

Phil Jackson glanced at Han Ning deeply, and his eyes were very complicated.

He really didn't expect that Han Ning would put such a player in the bench lineup!

Look at Carl Malone, who was being bullied and sweating profusely, panting constantly.

Phil Jackson understood.

Han Ning, this is a trick!

Just focus on Carl Malone!

When Karl Malone runs out of energy, the Knicks will be much better to play.

If you take Karl Malone off the field, it's even better.

The Lakers' other power forwards are not as strong as Karl Malone.

At that time, the Knicks can have an advantage on the inside again!

Therefore, the only thing Phil Jackson can do is to find a way to make Karl Malone stick more persistent on the court.

Then try to let the other players close the score as much as possible.

When the score gap widens to a certain extent, then the Lakers will be able to win this game.

Therefore, next, the two teams have to fight for nothing more than a time.

It was you, the Knicks, who knocked out Karl Malone first.

It was the Lakers who took the lead in widening the score gap to the point where it could not be made up!

Phil Jackson came to Karl-Malone's side and persuaded him a few words.

The players from both sides then returned to the pitch.

Look at Carl Malone, who is slow but still insists on playing.

A hint of a smile leaked from Han Ning's face.

Tsk tsk.

You really don't know Zach Randolph's strength?!

How dare you let Karl Malone play?!

Is this future All-Star really messing around with you?!

Han Ning patted Zach Randolph on the shoulder and whispered, "Hurry up." ”

"Give me the postman to retire!"

When Zach Randolph heard this, he suddenly became even more excited, and shouted: "Leave it to me, boss!" ”

It's as good as Pippen, but it's just to keep the postman out of work on weekends.

Today, he's going to retire the postman directly!
