After the Lakers' offense was blocked, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

After Allen Iverson dribbled to the front court, he passed the basketball directly to Da Yao.

After Da Yao received the basketball in the low post, he directly chose to play with his back.

At this time, he was opposite Carl Malone.

If it was against Shaq O'Neal, Da Yao might not choose to attack in the low post.

Because Shaq O'Neill's physique is just too strong.

Da Yao, who has not gained weight, can still score under the basket with his excellent interior skills and face Shaq O'Neal's defense.

But in this way, the physical consumption of Da Yao is too great.

Moreover, it will also affect Da Yao's offensive stability.

Not too cost-effective option.

It would be more appropriate to use mid-range shots and tactics in the high post to boost the Knicks' offensive firepower.

But when playing against Karl Malone, if you don't play a dozen low posts, it will be a waste of advantage!

The aging Karl Malone is not as strong as Shaq O'Neal.

Also, the physical strength is not very good.

Tough singles in the low post can consume Karl Malone's physical strength and cause killing points.

This is obviously a more suitable choice for Da Yao.

One, two, three.

After putting Karl Malone under the basket, Da Yao put the ball together with both hands and turned quickly.

Bend your legs and jump high.

With the ball in both hands, he smashed it into the basket through Karl Malone.

“Ba

g！ "A bang.

A two-handed slam on the wrist!

The Knicks fans who were watching the game in front of the TV cheered en masse.

It's such a domineering way of playing!

It is the most able to stimulate the blood in the hearts of fans!

However, compared to the smooth offensive performance of the Knicks, the Lakers' offense played a little bumpy.

Once Gary Payton dribbled to the frontcourt, he decided to attack on his own.

As a point guard, Gary Payton still has a strong ability to read the game.

He could see that Karl Malone was struggling to deal with the inside combination of Da Yao and Zach Randolph.

So, in order to be able to ensure the team's offensive firepower, and to ensure that the team can not be crushed by the Knicks in terms of defense and competition for rebounds.

It is necessary to take on more offensive tasks on his own and keep Karl Malone in some physical condition as much as possible.

It's just that Gary Payton seems to have forgotten that he is no longer the same person he used to be.

In the face of Allen Iverson's defense, Gary Payton went straight to the pace and tried to break through from the right side.

But Aaron Iverson moves faster.

Reaching out and pulling it out, the basketball was cut off from Gary Payton's hand.

Aaron Iverson then raced forward with the ball.

After rushing to the basket in the front court, he held the ball with both hands and raised it high.

He put the basketball on his right hand and threw it towards the basket.

“Ba

g！ ”

Another dunk!

The Knicks' bench lineup only used 1 block and 2 dunks to overtake the score!

All of a sudden, so Knicks fans were excited.

The starting lineup is half a pound and eight taels.

The bench lineup is clearly the Knicks' advantage.

In this way, this game, the Knicks really have a chance to win the game!

The game went on minute by minute.

The Knicks have maintained an extremely high offensive efficiency.

And also did a great job of defending and rebounding.

And the Lakers' bench lineup played a little bumpy.

Gary Payton and Karl Malone are obviously not up against the duo of Allen Iverson and Da Yao.

Not to mention, the Knicks also have Zach Randolph on the bench.

It can be said that in terms of offensive firepower, defense, and rebounding, the Knicks are all pressing the Lakers.

By halftime, the score between the two teams had reached 60-53.

The Knicks have a 7-point lead!

It only took one quarter of the game, and it was ten points more than the Lakers!

Before the game was over, Knicks fans couldn't help but start showing off on the Internet.

"Hahaha! I knew the Knicks weren't going to lose! ”

"No, no, no?! No one really thinks that the Knicks can't beat the Lakers, right?! ”

"The first few games were just a lack of form. Now that the team's form is back, the Knicks really don't have a hard time winning! ”

"What about the Lakers fans?! Why don't you scream?! ”

Seeing the Knicks fans so arrogant, many Lakers fans couldn't help it.

"Before the game is over, some people think that the result has been decided?!"

"So a few points ahead, as for being so sassy?!"

"Don't worry, take your time, Lakers championship!"

"Let you guys get a few points ahead, just like that?! Why are Knicks fans so undeep?! ”

However, no matter how much the fans of the two teams quarrel on the Internet.

The game goes on.

During the break, Phil Jackson didn't make any adjustments to his team's tactics.

This is not because his on-the-spot command ability is not good enough.

Purely because, after he divided the team's lineup, the game was not so easy to adjust.

Gary Payton and Karl Malone didn't have enough physical strength to get the two back into the starting lineup to play.

After all, to get the two of them back in the starting line-up, you need to have both of them on the pitch for at least ten minutes straight.

Or, let the starting lineup play early.

If you do so, you are bound to sacrifice the physical strength of Gary Payton and Karl Malone.

Or, at the expense of Shaq O'Neal and Kobe's physical strength.

Either way, it's not a good deal for the Lakers.

To put it bluntly, I'm still old.

What's more, even if you adjust it like this, will you be able to deal with the Knicks?!

How the first two games of this round of the Finals were lost, the Lakers players and coaches have not forgotten!

So, instead of making adjustments, it's better to let the players fight.

Try to get Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to score a few more points when they face the Knicks' starting lineup on the court.

Or let the two veterans Gary Payton and Karl Malone try their best not to let Allen Iverson and Da Yao make the score gap too big.

Merely.

Some things don't just become what you want them to be.

No matter how hard the Lakers players worked.

But the restraint in tactical play, as well as the gap in players, gave the Lakers no chance to catch up with the score!
