Kobe Bryant walked up to Gary Payton, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Gary, what's wrong?!" No, let's change people, I'll guard against that kid?! ”

After hearing Kobe's words, Gary Payton was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

He's one of the top stars in the league. (The twilight version is also a football star.) ）

Why do you need to change your guard?!

But think about it.

Jose Calderón is also a young lad after all.

Able to shoot suddenly.

It's not very friendly for a veteran like him who is a little old and can't keep up with his reaction speed.

It's better to defend against Aaron Iverson, who will only break through.

How much, and save some effort, isn't it?!

After thinking about this, Gary Payton nodded in response.

Bryant nodded in the same way.

The expressionless appearance makes it impossible to guess what he is thinking now.

Soon, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

When Jose Calderon came to the front court with the ball, he was surprised to find that the player in charge of defending himself had become Kobe.

And Gary Payton ran to defend Allen Iverson.

After seeing this scene, José Calderón felt some resentment in his heart.

In itself, he is a rookie player.

In a starting lineup with both Da Yao and Allen Iverson, there wasn't too much of the ball.

Now the tactics of his own boss are obviously to ask him and Aaron Iverson to exert their strength.

That's when he can get more balls!

As a result, you Gary Payton is not guarding against me!

Isn't this ball possession gone again?!

With that trace of resentment in his heart, he glanced at Gary Payton angrily.

Then he passed the basketball directly to Allen Iverson.

Gary Payton looked at Jose Calderón's wistful eyes and was shocked.

？？？

What the hell am I doing with him?!

How is this look exactly the same as the way a little girl looked at me before?!

No way!

Don't scare me!

My sexual orientation is normal!

But Aaron Iverson didn't give him time to think.

After receiving the basketball, he went straight to the attack.

The left hand dribbles to the left.

Gary Payton hurriedly followed.

Immediately afterward, Gary Payton felt as if he had hit a wall.

When I looked up, I found that Da Yao had come to the high position from the inside line to help block the demolition.

Gary Payton hurriedly bypassed Da Yao from behind and pounced on Allen Iverson.

But when he bypassed Da Yao from behind, he found that Aaron Iverson did not break through at the first time.

Instead, he stood still and waited for himself.

Wait until the moment after you appear.

Aaron Iverson is on the move again.

With your left hand, you can slap the basketball to the right.

The basketball hit the floor and was delivered to Allen Iverson's right hand.

Then he instantly burst out with all his speed and rushed to the inside.

Seeing this, Gary Payton hurriedly began to chase back.

But he has been left far behind by Alan Iverson.

Fortunately, there is still O'Neill on the inside who can make up for the defense.

O'Neill also rushed over from the inside in time to make up the defense.

At this time, in front of Aaron Iverson, stood O'Neal.

Behind him, there is also Gary Payton in pursuit.

Facing the front and back of the two.

Aaron Iverson didn't hesitate either.

Just throw the basketball behind you.

Gary Payton, who was chasing back, looked up and saw a basketball flying towards him.

I was shocked.

Subconsciously want to reach out and catch the basketball.

As a result, his hands fluttered into the air.

The basketball was thrown to Da Yao.

Da Yao stood in a high position, and after receiving the basketball, he tiptoed, leaned back slightly, and flicked his right hand slightly.

"Huh!"

Long two points to score!

The Knicks had narrowed the deficit to just 14 points in less than half of the third quarter!

On the Lakers' side.

When the inside line loses its advantage, not only does the scoring efficiency decrease.

Gary Payton's stamina has also begun to decline significantly.

Finally.

In the seventh minute of the third quarter.

Gary Payton's stamina has reached its limit!

Let anyone be attacked by Alan Iverson and José Calderón repeatedly, and there will be a great loss of physical strength.

Not to mention, Gary Payton has already played half of the game.

The physical strength itself is consumed.

The 35-year-old was targeted madly.

It's strange if the physical strength is bottomless!

The third quarter was played in the seventh minute.

Jose Calderón gets another chance to singles Gary Payton.

Stand at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on the right.

With the ball in both hands, he made a triple threat.

Both hands just lifted the basketball above their heads.

Gary Payton misjudged and pounced.

And he is not to blame for that.

After all, Jose Calderón has scored goals in this way before.

It wasn't until Gary Payton pounced in front of José Calderón that he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

Jose Calderón really got the basketball back.

Immediately after that, he dribbled directly to the right side to break through.

Gary Payton gritted his teeth and hurriedly turned to chase back.

José Calderón has also been observing Gary Payton's movements out of the corner of his eye at this time.

When he found Gary Payton chasing after him.

José Calderón made a sharp stop and stopped.

Gary Payton also hurriedly stopped, trying to get in front of Jose Calderón again to defend himself.

However, this time the singles opportunity has entered the rhythm of Jose Calderón.

How could he possibly let Gary Payton go?!

Dribbled the ball left and right with both hands in front of him, his shoulders swaying slightly.

After shaking Gary Payton's body a little more weighty.

He picked up again and rushed to the right as fast as he could.

At this moment, it is impossible for Gary Payton to catch up again!

Once again, his center of gravity was shaken by José Calderón.

I tried to stabilize myself, but it was in vain.

"Boom!" fell to the ground with a thud!

In this game, Gary Payton has been shaken to the ground for the third time!

Jose Calderón, on the other hand, has easily rushed to the basket with the ball.

With the help of Da Yao and Kurt Thomas, he scored an easy layup.

Gary Payton was lying on the ground panting.

I finally understood what kind of feeling Karl Malone had in his heart just now.

It's so tiring!

Pull it down!

Lao Tzu has no physical strength, stop fighting! It's a regular season game anyway!

So what are you doing so desperately?!

He gestured to the offfield.

Then Lakers head coach Phil Jackson called a timeout with a bitter look on his face.

At this time, Steve Nash, who was watching the game at home, immediately became excited after seeing this scene.

Jump up from the couch.

He swung his right hand twice in front of him.

Then he shouted excitedly, "YES! That's how it feels! That's how it feels! Hahahahaha! ”
