Chapter 404: The Knicks' Weird Starting Lineup!!
"Toot!"
The whistle blows and the game officially begins.
In the Huaxia broadcast room, Zhang Weiping and Su Dong both looked embarrassed.
In the first two games, the two of them already had such expressions.
As basketball commentators for many years, Zhang Weiping and Su Dong's basketball tactical literacy is not as good as that of professional basketball coaches.
But it's also much better than the vast majority of fans.
Therefore, they will find out earlier than the fans how strong the current Lakers team is.
I can also better understand how difficult the situation of the current Knicks is.
And in this game, if nothing else, the Knicks still have little hope of winning.
Chances are, it will be the last game for the Lakers to win the championship!
Su Dong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said in a deep voice: "Director Zhang, for today's game, what kind of way do you think the Knicks or Han Ning will use to deal with the Lakers?!" ”
After Zhang Weiping on the side heard this, he naturally understood in his heart.
Su Dong wanted to give some advice himself, so as to give some confidence to Chinese fans.
But it doesn't work.
If he could have come up with a reason, the Lakers wouldn't have been so difficult to deal with.
coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "Han Ning's tactical play has always been more elusive. ”
"I can't say what kind of tactical play the Knicks will adopt to deal with the Lakers."
"But with Han Ning's ability, it's not so easy for the Lakers to win."
After hearing Zhang Weiping's words, Su Dong almost couldn't help but roll his eyes and say.
He wanted Zhang Weiping to say something to appease the mood of the Chinese fans.
That's good.
It's better not to say it.
Judging from Zhang Weiping's words just now, it is estimated that the Chinese fans not only did not get confidence.
On the contrary, it will be even more lost.
I can't even tell a 123, what hope can I have?!
No matter how bad it is, you can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams!
Sure enough, after hearing the conversation between Zhang Weiping and Su Dong, the confidence of the Chinese fans who were watching the game in front of the TV was even lower.
Suddenly, a gloomy atmosphere rippled in the hearts of all the Knicks' Chinese fans.
However, when Su Dong saw the starting lineup of the Knicks, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Huh?! This starting lineup of the Knicks is a bit strange! Su Dong exclaimed.
Zhang Weiping, who was on the side, was also attracted by Su Dong's exclamation, and hurriedly focused on the information that had just been passed to him.
Then there was an equally exclamation.
"Hey! The Knicks' starting lineup today has never been seen before! ”
"Aaron Iverson wasn't in the starting lineup!"
"Is it hurt?! Didn't you hear any news?! ”
Su Dong reminded on the side: "It's not all. ”
"There is no Da Yao in this starting lineup today!"
"Jose Calderón, Mo Williams, Kyle Korver, Kurt Thomas and Mutombo."
"These five people, except for Kurt Thomas, who was the starter last season, the remaining four, three rookie players, and one veteran!"
"Such a lineup match is unheard of!"
Zhang Weiping's eyes stared at the information in front of him, frowning.
He muttered in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Knicks want to give up?!" ”
"It shouldn't be! With Han Ning's character, it is impossible to give up. Besides, Aaron Iverson wouldn't agree. ”
"If you really give up, Aaron Iverson won't have to make a fuss?! Can you sit on the bench so safely?! ”
"I don't understand! I don't understand! ”
Don't say that Zhang Weiping and Su Dong can't figure it out.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were even more confused.
The Knicks are giving up?!
No way!
Based on what they know about Han Ning and Aaron Iverson.
Even if you die on the field, you won't be able to give up.
I wouldn't sit so comfortably on the bench.
But!
If you didn't give up, why would you send out a starting lineup like this?!
I can't figure it out!
It's not just Chinese fans who can't figure it out.
Even the Lakers fans who were watching the game were confused.
And Phil Jackson was very nervous at this time.
After fighting Han Ning so many times, he would never believe that Han Ning would give up.
Therefore, such an arrangement must have other purposes!
It's just that he really can't think of what Han Ning's purpose is in doing this!
Soon, under everyone's puzzlement and doubt, the game began!
Mutombo stood in the midfield circle and competed with Shaq O'Neill for the jump ball.
Accompanied by the referee tossing the basketball into the air.
Shaq O'Neal grabbed the ball first and flipped the basketball in the air to his teammates.
After receiving the basketball from Shaq O'Neal, Bryant dribbled to the frontcourt.
The Lakers went on offense.
Kobe Bryant looked at Jose Calderón, who was in charge of defending himself in front of him, and was a little puzzled.
Although the strength of this rookie player on the opposite side is not bad.
But he can be sure that the rookie player can't guard him.
It stands to reason that at this time, Kobe Bryant should take the initiative to try to attack.
But after suffering many losses at the hands of Han Ning, after seeing such a strange starting lineup of the Knicks, he couldn't help but become suspicious in his heart.
Slowly dribble to the right outside the three-point line.
Then he passed the basketball directly to Shaq O'Neal's hand.
In Kobe's opinion, since he can't figure out what the Knicks and Han Ning want to do.
It's a little temptation.
It was the most appropriate choice to let Shaq O'Neal, who has the most consistent offensive efficiency on the court, test it first.
This is also because of Han Ning.
If it weren't for Han Ning making such a deep impression on them.
Kobe Bryant didn't say he was going to be tempted.
Even passing the ball to Shaq O'Neill is absolutely impossible.
But now, under the deep impression and pressure that Han Ning left on the Lakers players, Kobe Bryant made a choice that was extremely inconsistent with his character.
It's Shaq O'Neal, but he doesn't think as much as Kobe.
As a player, the task on the field is to score and defend.
After receiving Kobe's pass, Shaq O'Neal chose to play with his back without hesitation.
One, two, three.
Against the aged Mutombo, he went directly to the basket.
Then, Shaq O'Neal turned quickly and put his hands on the ball and faced the basket.
Just when he wanted to get up and slam a slam on the wrist.
A figure suddenly appeared beside him, and together with Mutombo, clamped him tightly in his bag.
It's Kurt Thomas!
