"Toot!"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Players from both sides returned to the pitch.

You can see from the look in your eyes that both players are deeply wary of each other.

As we all know, Han Ning is a head coach who is very good at on-the-spot adjustments.

So every time he called a timeout, the Knicks would make some adjustments to their tactics.

And most of these adjustments have been very productive.

Therefore, the Lakers players are extremely nervous at this time.

And Phil Jackson couldn't help but get up from the bench and come to the sideline of the court, with his hands in his pockets, looking at the players on the court.

He also wanted to know what kind of changes Han Ning had made.

Moreover, it was as if everyone knew that Han Ning was good at on-the-spot command.

Phil Jackson is also a head coach who is recognized by all fans as not very good at directing on the spot.

Therefore, no matter what tactical adjustments Han Ning made.

It's possible not to see what kind of response Phil Jackson makes.

This also gives the duel between Han Ning and Phil Jackson a slight advantage.

The game continued.

At this time, the time of the game had reached the second minute of the third quarter.

The score between the two teams also came to 50-62.

The Lakers have a 12-point lead!

This advantage is definitely not small.

The Knicks attack.

As soon as Allen Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt, he directed the Knicks players to start running.

To the surprise of all fans, Zach Randolph and Kurt Thomas did not fight the Lakers' interior players on the inside.

Instead, he ran out of the inside line and started to run.

Seeing this scene, the Lakers players felt strange, but they didn't make too many adjustments.

Karl Malone is still on the inside.

After all, Kurt Thomas doesn't have any consistent mid-to-long-range shooting ability.

Instead, Shaq O'Neal followed up to defend Zach Randolph.

Although Zach Randolph's mid-to-long-range shooting ability is not as top-notch as Da Yao's, he can't easily give him the opportunity to shoot in the open space.

However, this is what Han Ning wants!

As long as O'Neal can get out of the inside, leaving Karl Malone alone on the inside.

The Knicks have a chance for Zach Randolph to attack Karl Malone's position!

Whether he can score or not, he can always let the physical strength of Karl Malone, who has reached the end of his career, be consumed as much as possible.

The Knicks players are constantly running with pick-and-rolls.

Finally, after Allen Iverson dribbled the ball to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on the right side of the court, Zach Randolph briefly shook off Shaq O'Neal's mark with the help of Mo Williams' pick-and-roll.

Allen Iverson was quick and threw the basketball directly to Zach Randolph.

Then Zach Randolph went straight to the inside line.

Kurt Thomas, who was originally playing one-on-one with Karl Malone on the inside, also left directly from Karl Malone, turned around and came to Shaq O'Neal, stopping Shaq O'Neal.

One step, two steps.

Zach Randolph went straight to the basket, jumped high, raised the basketball with his right hand, and smashed it towards the basket.

Seeing this, Carl Malone secretly gritted his teeth.

How could he not know that his current physical fitness could no longer be compared with young people like Zach Randolph.

But at this time, he will definitely not back down.

Take a step forward and jump high.

Try to intercept Zach Randolph.

However.

"Bang!" Bang!

The two men collided in the air.

Subsequently.

“Ba

g！ ”

There was a loud bang announcing that Zach Randolph had completed the dunk.

Karl Malone not only failed to intercept Zach Randolph.

On the contrary, I felt that my chest had been hit extremely violently.

The pain was so hot that Carl Malone's expression was a little distorted, and he couldn't help but take a few breaths.

I cursed secretly in my heart.

This young man.

It's so ruthless!

And Zach Randolph also glanced at Karl Malone at this time.

I secretly felt some regret in my heart.

It's a pity that I couldn't make a foul.

The game continued.

The Lakers are still relying on four consistent scoring points to score points.

Immediately after, the Knicks served quickly.

The five Knicks players burst out at their fastest speeds and rushed towards the Lakers' half.

Seeing this, the Lakers players hurriedly chased after them to defend.

However, in the face of the Knicks' sudden change in playing style and rhythm, they still didn't have time to defend, and the Knicks easily scored two points.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The Lakers have relied on four consistent scoring points to score points.

And the Knicks, on their side, have always insisted on a bombarded style of play.

Although the Knicks' scoring is much more inconsistent than that of the Lakers.

Even the score gap between the two teams continues to be widened.

By the tenth minute of the third quarter, the score between the two teams had reached 62-80.

That's a difference of 18 points!

One more goal is missing, and it's a 20-point difference!

However, the expressions on the faces of the Lakers players are not very pretty.

The reason is simple.

The physical exertion of the Lakers' players is too great!

The Knicks almost didn't care about their physical strength, and they played with their lives to speed up the pace of the game.

Even if he can't play a quick counterattack, he will take the Lakers players to run as much as possible during the positional battle.

In addition, Zach Randolph also used the impact of the basket to consume a wave of Karl Malone's physical strength, and also successfully made two fouls, bringing Karl Malone's cumulative foul count to 4.

At this pace, by the time the fourth quarter comes, some of the Lakers' players will be on the verge of collapse.

Without saying much, Carl Malone certainly won't last long.

Once Karl Malone's stamina collapses, then the Knicks will have the advantage on the inside!

In this way, the Knicks can use this advantage to keep chasing points, and the Lakers' multi-point offensive tactics will be overcome.

It's a situation that all Lakers players and coaches can see.

Although it is said that if it is not so that the Lakers will definitely lose to the Knicks.

But at the very least, it gives the Knicks a fair share of the odds of winning.

The eighteen-point lead has become less secure.

Kobe Bryant glanced back at Phil Jackson, who was standing on the sidelines.

I really hope that the Zen master can make some plans to deal with it.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Bryant gave up on the idea.

It's not that a Zen master has never done on-the-spot commanding.

But the number and effect are really not so satisfactory.

Thinking of this, Kobe couldn't help but glance at Han Ning again.

This young head coach, his on-the-spot command ability is really enviable!
