The game went on minute by minute.

As the game progressed step by step, Knicks fans were amazed to discover.

It seems that the team's performance at the beginning of the game was not short-lived!

Although the score between the two teams, the Lakers still have a bit ahead.

But this lead is not obvious!

The first quarter of the game is over.

The score between the two teams was 26-23.

The Lakers are only 3 points ahead!

It's just a three-pointer gap!

This point difference, compared to the time of the remaining three quarters of the game, is almost equivalent to no point difference!

At least, compared to the previous games, the Lakers were able to lead by eight points by 10 points from the beginning!

The most critical thing is.

During this entire quarter of the game, the Knicks' strongest Allen Iverson and Da Yao did not play!

That's outrageous!

Playing with the strongest player, you will fall behind.

Send in some rookies and substitutes, and instead play the game back and forth.

How can this be reasonable?!

Of course, not all fans can't understand it.

Some fans who know more about basketball can still see why the Knicks have changed so much.

Plainly!

Actually, it's defense!

Defend well!

Aren't you Lakers star powerhouse?!

Then I'll defend your star!

I'll just wrap you up!

Others?!

In spite of!

If they want to score, let them go!

I don't have much power anyway.

Whatever?!

But if you Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal want to score?!

Excuse me.

Lao Tzu doesn't give!

It's still the same sentence!

You Shaq O'Neal can't be stronger!

Two of my top blue-collar stars on the inside! Top defensive Titans will defend you!

How much more can you dominate?!

If it was Shaq O'Neal, who was in his prime, it was really possible.

But now Shaq O'Neal, who has begun to slide from his peak?!

Not really!

And what about Kobe?!

Although sometimes his scoring is unreasonable.

But Jose Calderón and Mo Williams aren't your average rookie either.

At least compared to the starting guards of a significant portion of the teams in this league, it's not weak.

Although he is not yet a star-level player.

But two people are sandwiched to defend you, Kobe Bryant alone.

If I can't prevent you, it's okay to restrict you, right?!

As a result, it will be very difficult for the Lakers' starting lineup to have extremely strong offensive firepower.

And the Knicks didn't even have Allen Iverson and Da Yao on the floor.

But there are two people, Kurt Thomas and Mutombo, to protect the rebounding ball.

Jose Calderón, Mo Williams and Kyle Korver scored pretty well.

Compared with the Lakers, whose offensive firepower has been greatly limited, it is not much weaker.

This is the way Han Ning thought of dealing with the Lakers!

It's actually really easy to say!

Defend to win the championship!

In the original course of history, didn't the Pistons just rely on defense to win the championship?!

Something the Pistons were able to do.

The Knicks can do the same!

Even if the Pistons are not facing the Lakers who are so strong now.

But the strength of the Knicks is also stronger than that of the Pistons!

It is still unknown who will kill the deer!

Of course, Han Ning did not forget that the Lakers also arranged Gary Payton and Karl Malone as killer stars in the bench lineup.

But don't forget!

In order to ensure the defensive intensity of the starting lineup.

Han Ning also put Da Yao and Aaron Iverson on the bench!

When it comes to the battle of the substitute lineup, there is no need to compete in defense.

Compete directly with you and you're done!

He didn't believe it yet!

Allen Iverson and Da Yao in their prime.

Can't beat the two veterans Gary Payton and Carl Malone more than the offense?!

The starting lineup is better than the defense, and the bench is more offensive than the offense!

That's it!

Aren't you Phil Jackson going to use my rotation policy to make adjustments to the Knicks team?!

Then I'll do it!

I'm going to make adjustments to your Lakers team based on that!

Even if you don't want to play, you can't put Gary Payton and Karl Malone back in the starting lineup!

Don't forget!

In the first two games of this round of the Finals, when the Lakers put all four stars of the F4 group in the starting lineup, how badly they lost!

It's a big deal, let's recreate the scene!

.............

The break after the first quarter of the game was over.

Players from both sides were substituted.

In this game, judging from the starting lineup, the two teams were a draw.

Then, if you want to decide the winner, you have to look at the fight of the substitute lineup.

And the bench lineups of these two teams are not like other teams, with only a few role players playing.

Make the game seem a little boring.

The Knicks and Lakers' bench lineups look even better than the starting lineups of quite a few teams!

To know.

In this league, there are many teams whose starting lineups can't take out such big-name stars as Allen Iverson, Da Yao, Gary Payton and Karl Malone!

"Toot!"

The whistle blew and the game continued.

Allen Iverson dribbled to the front court, faced Gary Payton's defense, got up to speed, and rushed to the right with the ball.

Gary Payton was in a bit of a trance as he faced Allen Iverson's breakaway.

Failed to react in the first place.

As a result, Allen Iverson passed Gary Payton in one step!

Hold the ball and go straight to the basket!

Da Yao held off Karl Malone, and Zach Randolph also held off another Lakers bench interior player.

Allen Iverson rushed to the basket and scored an easy layup.

26 to 25.

The Knicks narrowed the gap to 1 point!

Turning around, the Lakers attacked.

After Gary Payton dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball directly to Karl Malone.

Karl Malone received a pass from Gary Payton and started backplaying.

One, two, three.

After coming to the basket with a difficult top, Karl Malone put the ball together with both hands.

The turnaround was completed.

When I want to hook up and finish the score.

Another figure appeared beside him!

Leaping high, he slammed the basketball thrown by Karl Malone and slammed it.

"Bang!"

Zach Randolph!

A volleyball-style hat!

In an instant, the entire Staples Center was silent!

When all Lakers fans saw this scene, their hearts felt as if they were blocked by a big rock.

Resentment, but there is no way to vent!

The starting lineup, you get the bag.

Substitute lineup, you still have a bag clip?!

Do you want to nod your face!

How old is Carl Malone, and you're still wrapping him up?!

And Han Ning, who was standing in front of the Knicks' bench, was full of pride.

Joke!

This trick is so good, can he not use it?!

Old?!

You're going to retire when you're old!

As long as you're still on the field, I'll bully you with more people!

What the hell!
