The upcoming battle between the Knicks and the Lakers has become the focus of the world's attention in the past two days.

After the G4 game, the Los Angeles media and the New York media both talked about the penalty scale of the finals.

Just like the previous New York media thought that the Lakers got too much off-court weight in G1 and G2......

In the eyes of the Los Angeles media, the Knicks defeated the Lakers in G3 and G4 completely by referees.

In an effort to help their teams win, the New York and Los Angeles media are accusing each other of getting too much off-court weighting in this round of the Finals.

But in Wang Shuo's eyes......

Compared with previous years, the referees in charge of officiating the Finals this year basically did not favor either the Lakers or the Knicks.

Wang Shuo's good brother Stern is well aware of the impact of this round of the finals, so he put forward high standards and strict requirements for the referees early on, and it is important to let the two sides decide the outcome of the game by themselves.

On the 11th, after leading the Lakers back to Los Angeles from New York, Wang Shuo continued to let the players practice joint defense and three-point shooting.

After discussing with Malone and others, everyone agreed that in this round of the finals that has become a best-of-3 system, Green is the most suitable candidate for Kobe Bryant to replace Kobe Bryant at the next break.

So far, Green is still shooting 47.5 percent from three-point range in the playoffs this year.

As a role player, Green, no matter how good he is, is not destined to match those superstars.

But the North Carolina captain's ability to crit in a short period of time determines that as long as he appears on the court in the future, the Knicks will no longer be able to despise him like G4.

And Green, who was able to become Kobe's substitute in the Finals, also attracted DeRozan's envy.

In this life, DeRozan, who considers himself a disciple of Kobe, is definitely the hardest-working young player in the Lakers.

However, in this round of the finals, unless there is an accident, Wang Shuo will not be able to give DeRozan a chance to play.

Because in terms of Azan's current ability, his role after playing is not as good as Green, who is weaker than him in terms of comprehensive strength, but has a skill.

On the 13th, the G5 battle of the finals started at the Staples Center.

While the players were warming up before the game, Wang Shuo had been secretly observing the expressions of each Lakers player.

In "Slam Dunk", before the decisive battle with the Mountain King, Inoue Yuhiko spent a lot of space to describe Coach Anzai's "fooling" of the Xiangbei players.

Although reality is not a comic, Inoue Yuhiko may not understand ball......

But this vivid and humorous plot fully demonstrates Coach Anxi's understanding of the players in Xiangbei.

At the same time, it also told the readers of "Slam Dunk" the importance of the player's own mentality to a basketball game.

Actually, it's not just basketball.

It should be said that in all competitive sports, mindset is the key to determining whether you can succeed or not.

It's like playing a game, if your teammates keep saying "don't you want to shoot".

Even if you could turn the game around, you would have to sit back and watch your opponent push your base.

Wang Shuo knows very well that compared with the Knicks, who have experience in the dynasty, because this Lakers team is a team dominated by young people and supplemented by veterans, it ......

On this night, as the head coach of the Lakers, he must fully grasp the mentality of each player and give some small help to the young Lakers players who need help at the right time.

For example, when warming up before the game, it was like being on the bar with the Staples Center's basket, how to shoot and how not to score, and the more he practiced, the more irritated Curry became.

On the court, after approaching Curry with a bucket of popcorn, Wang Shuo smiled: "Stephen, playing basketball is like life, a momentary failure to shoot and a momentary failure, just preparing for the next goal and the next success." ”

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Wang Shuo, and Curry smiled bitterly: "But I'm worried that I won't be able to hit three points for the team tonight like before." ”

Wang Shuo patted Curry on the shoulder and said, "Stephen, do you know why I never think about those troubles that I can't solve?" ”

Curry shook his head.

Wang Shuo said: "Because if a problem is so easy to solve, then why is it called a trouble? ”

After handing the popcorn to Curry and letting him taste it, Wang Shuo smiled: "By the way, Stephen, do you know why the Knicks didn't use Rajan to defend you from the G3 battle?" ”

Curry shook his head again.

"Because in their opinion, Stephen Curry doesn't have what it takes to change the tide of the game on the court.

So it doesn't hurt to give him some three-point chances. Wang Shuo said to Curry.

On the court, when leaving Curry's side, Wang Shuo noticed that there was obviously a fire burning in Curry's big cute eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shuo found Ellis, who was not playing well in G3 and G4, and said to him: "Is Rajan's defense really that difficult to deal with?" ”

Looking at Ellis, who couldn't answer for a while, Wang Shuo continued: "It's okay, Monta, I never force players on the field to do things that they can't do.

If you really don't have the confidence to beat Rajan in a one-on-one, I can play you off the bench and let you stagger his playing time.

After all, Knicks backup guard Chris Dujon is much easier to deal with than Rajan. ”

At this moment, the evil breath in Ellis's chest that had been held back for two games was immediately aroused by Wang Shuo.

It is true that Ellis under Wang Shuo is as well-behaved as he is.

But this does not mean that Wang Shuo can change his arrogant personality.

As a hardcore Komi, if you want to fight, you have to play the elite Ellis, how can he choose to confess to Rondo at this moment?

After two seconds of silence, Ellis looked firmly at Wang Shuo and said, "Boss, let me continue to start!"

In this game, if I can't score 30 points, I'll retire and switch to selling hamburgers! ”

Get Ellis.

Next, Wang Shuo found Xiaojia again and talked to him about the past when Dajia "blew up" O'Neal in the finals and "hanged" Duncan the following year.

"It's a shame if Paul were still playing under me and playing for this Lakers team...... Even if this Knicks have one more Hakeem Olajuwon, I can keep them from eating and walking. ”

After telling Xiaojia the "majestic" story of Dajia in the finals that year, Wang Shuo sighed and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Jia immediately clenched his fists.

Although, when Wang Shuo told the story of Dajia back then, there were hundreds of millions of points to add fuel and vinegar......

But Xiaojia, who is already on the top at the moment, where will he care about the details?

As the younger brother of Dagana, who has always been rebellious.

Xiao Jia secretly swore in his heart that in this battle of Tianwang Mountain, even if he died, he would have to be beaten to death by Yao Ming standing up.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh......

Of course, the pharaoh is a bit old-fashioned.

But......

Just say it works!

At the Staples Center, after the warm-up and appearance ceremony, with the big screen on the scene giving the two teams the start tonight, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which has attracted worldwide attention, also officially kicked off.

Knicks: Yao Ming, Duncan, Chandler, Smith, Rondo.

Lakers: Jr. Plus, Wallace, Kobe, Ellis, Curry.

is different from young players who need to rely on Wang Shuo to adjust their mentality.

For veterans like Kobe Bryant and Wallace, they were ready to give their all in this battle of Tianwang Mountain early on.

In addition, compared to Kobe, who is more suitable to be a leader on the court rather than a leader in the locker room, O'Neal, who has a correct mentality, also plays the role of a locker room leader in this Lakers team.

In the first four games of the series, the senior shark was able to chop off a super double-double for the Lakers waving a towel 100 times and handing a water glass 100 times on the sidelines.

On the court, after the jump ball, the game officially began.

A certain Tyrannosaurus rex was attacked by the angry Xiao Jia tonight when he was jumping the ball, and he failed to jump the opening attack for the Knicks.

Lakers ball possession.

After dribbling the ball across the halfcourt, Curry, who handed the ball to Kobe, immediately took Chandler on the court to complete a wide lateral switchback run.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Curry's average distance traveled per game was always among the best in the NBA.

Even the future schoolboy who is over 30 years old and has not yet made it to junior high school can run and bully the players who are responsible for marking him on the field.

Undoubtedly.

"Library-style bullying" is definitely the main reason why Wang Shuo's reputation in Curry has been inferior to James in his previous life.

Because if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, among the players who have played more than 30 minutes in the league in the future, James has ranked last in terms of average distance per game for many consecutive seasons.

What does this technical statistic say?

It shows that "His Majesty the Great Emperor" is telling the players in charge of defending him every night what is called "Emperor's Grace"!

As the so-called thunder and rain dew, they are all Jun'en!

In this game, Chandler is going to suffer.

As a heavy forward, how can he afford Curry to walk with him like this?

On the court, Kobe, who was responsible for holding the ball, also recalled some not-so-good memories in an instant.

Because in the Finals between the Wizards and the Lakers, there was a player named Richard Hamilton who also walked him like this.

In this offensive round, under Curry's large-scale involvement, the Lakers were jointly launched by Kobe Bryant and Xiao Jia to block and dismantle, and successfully passed the secondary cover of Ellis by Xiao Jia on the wing, so that the purple and gold flash of Los Angeles got the opportunity to attack the Knicks basket.

On this night, he vowed to let Dajia, who averaged only 4.8 assists per game in his career, know what is the "inside magician" Xiaojia, and the moment he noticed Ellis cut into the Knicks penalty area, he completed the pass at the first time.

Not only did the pass go down, but it also landed right in Ellis's chest.

On the basketball court, the best position for offensive players to receive the ball is near the chest.

Because passing the ball near the chest allows the attacking player to start the action as soon as he gets the ball.

In the Knicks box, Duncan, who rotated in front of Ellis in time, failed to interfere with Ellis with his nearly 230-centimeter reach.

I saw Ellis after winning the ball, and suddenly passed under Duncan's armpit after starting, and reflexively completed a super pull!

CCTV, Director Zhang, who saw this scene, said: "Hey, this ball is really difficult enough, Ellis also dares to play?" ”

Bang, boom!

Under the Knicks' basket, Ellis not only dared to score this ball, but also dared to score.

Perhaps, Ellis will not be able to become a point guard of historical caliber in his lifetime.

But the purple and gold glitter of the Lakers shows people what courage is the greatest hymn to mankind.

After joining the Lakers, out of respect for his idol, Ellis did not continue to choose to wear the No. 8 jersey, but at the suggestion of Wang Shuo, he changed to the No. 23 jersey, which was one size smaller than the No. 24.

Wang Shuo asked Ellis to wear the No. 23 jersey for nothing else, just to tell the world......

The Lakers' No. 23 is the No. 23 full of courage and the No. 23 who is indomitable.

Heaven is on the left, Ellis is on the right, and that's it.

Come back, the Knicks have the ball.

Duncan and Yao Ming wanted to use the free-throw line block to get Wallace and Xiaojia to switch defenses.

But Wallace was stuck in front of Duncan in advance through experience.

This is the kind of defensive detail that most fans don't care too much about.

Can......

It was Wallace's advance prediction that helped the team successfully prevent the Knicks' first high-low post match tonight.

Xiao Yao failed to sit in the low position as originally planned, and simply raised it to the high position to make a wall for Rondo.

But at the moment of his external bombing, Xiao Jia also pounced in front of him in time.

Seeing this, Rondo held the ball and cut into the basket and scored a layup, 2-2.

Compared to letting Xiao Yao shoot, Lang's scoring is a completely acceptable result for the Lakers.

On the court, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

When Curry and Ellis were running on either side, Kobe noticed that Duncan and Yao Ming were involved on the perimeter, so he decisively reached out for the ball and forced Smith with the ball.

Jr. Smith is athletic, but in the face of Kobe's many feints, Smith was deceived by Kobe Bryant in this defensive round.

Under the basket, after easily picking up Smith, Bryant leaned on Smith to score and got a two-and-a-one opportunity.

CCTV, Director Zhang commented sharply: "In the last game, Kobe Bryant didn't feel good......

If Brown had been using Smith to defend Kobe, Bryant would have to explode in the Finals sooner or later. ”

Director Zhang is not wrong at all.

G3, G4......

The Knicks were caught up by the Lakers several times precisely because Brown sensed that Kobe Bryant was playing too easily on the court and sent Ariza to defend Kobe.

Because when Ariza is on the court, the Lakers can unscrupulously increase their strength in joint defense, so before Kobe Bryant is prevented by Ariza, the New York duo will often be killed by Ariza first.

But then again......

Actually, Tiezha is really not as iron as people think.

Because Ariza's career three-point shooting percentages of 35.2 percent in the regular season and 36.7 percent in the playoffs prove that he also has the right time.

Of course, once Ariza is subjected to too many defensive tasks on the field......

Then his shooting percentage is often not too impressive.

For example, in the 15/16 season when the Warriors were eliminated 4-1, Ariza was able to hit only 0.8 threes per game while averaging 5.6 three-pointers per game due to a lot of defensive duties.

He shot just 14.3 percent from three-point range at the time.

In addition, in the 17/18 season, the "light bulb" combination failed to kill the Warriors in the tiebreaker, and Ariza had to bear the blame somewhat.

Because in that round of Western Conference finals, Ariza's three-point shooting rate was only 20%.

No doubt.

In the face of outside pressure from the Lakers, Ariza is destined to have a hard time finding his touch in this round of the Finals.

But......

What other team other than this Lakers team can force the Knicks to have to invest a lot of resources on the defensive end to deal with their outside offense?

In the past, when Ariza was on the court, whether it was Wang Shuo or Brown, another shooter would be arranged to play with him.

But not to mention that Smith has been killed by Kobe Bryant in this series......

Even if there is Brent Barry on the Knicks bench at the moment......

Does Brown dare to use it?

At the free throw line, after Kobe Bryant hit a free throw, the Knicks attacked.

Xiao Yao leaned back and popped out of the frame after turning over in the low position.

Seeing this, Brown on the sidelines frowned for a moment.

Because compared to the Lakers, who are destined to recover faster than their physical strength......

The Knicks, who have gradually come up in age, have begun to show fatigue after the first four games.

Especially the G4 battle......

The Knicks, who could have easily taken it, were forced to replace Yao Ming and Duncan on the court due to the wave of critical hits that Green and Gallinari played on the court.

In a best-of-seven match, every win counts.

But in Wang Shuo's view, there are some failures......

It is also paving the way for the next success.

Wang Shuo didn't lie to Curry before the game tonight.

Because of the balls that the Lakers threw in the G3 and G4 battles, the failures they experienced have quietly accumulated that invisible and untouchable victory for the Lakers!

On the court, after borrowing Kobe Bryant and Xiaojia to cover and go around to catch the ball, Chandler, who has been dizzy by Curry, where can he keep up with the Lakers' "baby-faced killer"?

At a 45-degree angle on the wing, Curry received the ball and fired.

Swish!

In front of the technical table, with Curry hitting this three-pointer, the Knicks called a timeout.

CCTV, Director Zhang sweated profusely and said: "The Lakers who have returned to their home court really can't be provoked...... The Knicks and Yao Ming are in big trouble tonight. ”

After a timeout, the Knicks possessed the ball.

Yao Ming and Duncan played a delicate internal game, which temporarily stabilized the military heart for the Knicks.

But when I came back, I noticed that the Knicks stared at Kobe, who had flaws in the quadruple, but pierced Smith's defense again on the wing.

After suddenly launching "Sam Gold" in the process of continuous dribbling under the crotch, Kobe Bryant flew into the Knicks' hoop before the help of Duncan and Yao Ming in one step past Smith and before Duncan and Yao Ming's help defense arrived.

Sam Gold.

A dribbling technique named after the creator of its move, Sam Gold-Gold.

Tonight, at the invitation of Kobe, Sam Gauder himself also came to the scene.

As a generation of dribbling masters who had instructed Kobe Bryant's dribbling skills and a famous "city hero" of the CBA Zhejiang team, on the sidelines, when Sam Gauder noticed that Kobe Bryant used "Sam Gauder" to complete the breakthrough, he couldn't help but recall the picture when he was asked by Joe Bryant to train with Kobe Bryant for the first time.

Yes.

Kobe Bryant didn't start working hard after entering the NBA.

Instead, as early as his high school career, he would be with the Philadelphia Suns at 4 a.m. every day.

Years of technical polishing are the key to Kobe Bryant's ability to always play those amazing fairy balls on the court.

You know, in the NBA, not every high school player will only play with his body.

In fact, two of the big four quarterbacks have a fair level of technical completion by the time they enter the NBA.

Moreover, Garnett, who entered the league earlier than Kobe and Maddy, has never slacked off his basic training.

Therefore, the future is really not that fans like to be thick and thin.

It is Wang Shuo's memory of those superstars whose physical fitness is getting better and better in the future......

There are really few who can sink down and polish their skills like their predecessors.

On the contrary, like Doncic, who plays according to the rules of the NBA in the NBA and according to the rules of the FIBA in the FIBA, can switch between the two forms at the same time, and the outside players who dominate the league with their technical talent have become outliers.

On the court, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

Director Zhang, who could only see Yao Ming in his eyes, said anxiously: "The Knicks have to quickly find a way to pass the ball to Yao Ming, they can't delay the offensive time any longer." ”

However, this offense, the Knicks did not attack according to the picture that Zhang had in mind.

In the high post, after making a hand-to-hand cooperation with Rondo, Duncan quickly went down and received a pass from Rondo, and forced Wallace to score under the basket.

In this area...... Wallace didn't take Duncan's big basic skills.

There is no other reason.

The main thing is that the "youngster" Duncan is too stable.

Then, it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who was about to single Smith on the wing again, Director Zhang frowned and said, "The Knicks really can't let Kobe keep playing like this."

Although Kobe's offense is unreasonable, he can score! ”

In response to the poor feeling on the outside of the G4 game, Kobe Bryant also optimized his offensive structure this time.

As long as Curry and Ellis can open up space, he's focused on breakouts.

Historically, Bryant has played Smith 10 times in the playoffs, averaging 33.8 points per game on 48.9% shooting.

After Kobe Bryant figured out his biggest advantage against Smith, even if he had to pay a certain price on the defensive end to suppress Smith's offense, Smith couldn't do anything about him.

Because the brain can only work in a single thread......

In front of the "scheming" Kobe, he is obviously too young.

Periphery, after doing a Buddha worship, Kobe Bryant successfully shook Smith.

Immediately afterward, Bryant suddenly found Curry who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

The latter fired again.

At this point, it was impossible for Brown not to replace Ariza.

Because it goes on like Kobe......

No matter how efficient the New York duo's hard solution is, they can only sit and watch their outside teammates be blown up by Kobe.

On the Lakers bench, Mike Malone looked at Wang Shuo with a curious look and asked, "Can the Knicks let Wilson add some ball-handling offense to relieve the scoring pressure of Yao and Tim?" ”

Wang Shuo asked with a smile on his face: "Theoretically possible, but is Mike willing to let Yao be a void-type interior lineman on the court?" ”

Since the beginning of the G2 game, the Lakers' defensive strategy has been based on joint defense.

Therefore, in order to gain space for the attack, the Knicks must shoot from the outside, or let Yao Ming pull to the outside to withdraw.

Mike Brown followed Wang Shuo a lot of offensive routines.

But when it was his turn to make decisions, his CPU speed obviously couldn't keep up with Wang Shuo.

In fact, in this round of the finals, the power of the New York double kings was not used to the extreme by Brown in Wang Shuo's opinion.

Because in the case that Yao Ming can be pulled to the outside, whether it is Duncan or other Knicks players, they will benefit from it.

To put it simply......

Compared with Wang Shuo, who dared to let Kobe be a tool man.

Brown cared too much about Yao Ming playing comfortably on the court.

Staples Center, in the first quarter of the game, the score of the two teams was 25-35 in the first quarter.

The Knicks had problems on both ends of the floor in the opening stages of this battle for Kings.

In the second quarter, Brown adjusted the Knicks' on-court lineup to Gortat, West, Hill, Ariza, and Rondo.

The rotation lineup on the Lakers' side is O'Neal, Odom, Gallinari, Green, and Ellis.

Brown, who learned the lessons of the G4 game, specifically instructed Ariza to be careful of Green's movement on the court when the Lakers replaced Green.

But this is exactly what Wang Shuo wants.

Because with Green's outbreak in the G4 battle, the Knicks have to pay attention to him......

On the court, after "Wei Erye" just scored two points for the Knicks, the Lakers, who came back and settled in a triangular offensive formation, immediately made Gortat, the "Polish Hammer", doubt his life.

Gortat is 211 cm tall and weighs around 110 kg.

But this season, even if Wang Shuo lets O'Neill get on the treadmill all day long......

The senior shark also weighs nearly 40 kilograms larger than Gotat.

What is the concept of a 40 kg weight difference?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the low post, with his teammates unable to help him defend, Gortat could only watch O'Neal show off in front of him.

Since O'Neal had mastered the magic skill of "ending the urinal" as early as when he assisted Wade to win the championship, it would not be wise to foul the current senior shark unless it was a last resort.

In addition, in this year's finals, with O'Neal once again making great achievements for the Lakers, the Los Angeles media will no longer continue to liquidate him, and he will also restore a lot of honors that should have belonged to him.

Of course, there is such a thing as touching Yao Ming......

O'Neill really can't even think of it.

After all, the three big champions plus the New York dynasty......

Yao Ming's historical status is already a certainty.

However, O'Neill saw the hope of crushing Olajuwon before he retired after entering the palace this time.

After all, on the premise that everyone has two boss championships......

Even if Olajuwon's "single-core" championship is worth bragging about, if he can win the championship with the Lakers this year, won't O'Neal have two more championships?

O'Neill knows very well that he can't wait for next year or the year after that.

Because during his time in Portland, he had already burned out most of his gas in order to slap the Los Angeles media in the face.

Now, it's the last finals of his career.

It was also his last chance to completely crush Olajuwon under him.

"Defensive ——!!"

On the court, after taking the lead in retreating to the Lakers' half, O'Neal was seen yelling at his teammates.

On the Lakers bench, seeing this, Kobe Bryant also got up and waved towels for his teammates on the court.

At this moment, there is no need to communicate.

It only takes one glance for Bryant and O'Neal to understand each other's thoughts.

TNT, Barkley said with emotion: "I've never seen Shaq play so the court, and I've never seen him want to win so much. ”

On the side, Smith chimed in: "Charles, I think everyone can feel the heart called the championship in Shaq. ”

On the court, Rondo's layup was ruthlessly blocked by O'Neal.

Immediately after, Hill followed up with a rebound.

But who would have thought that after O'Neal landed, he dragged his huge body to complete a continuous jump, and slapped Hill's basket into Ellis's hand.

At the Staples Center, Ellis' spinning drew cheers from the fans.

In the Knicks' half, West and Ariza, who were the fastest to retreat, hurried to block Ellis.

But in the next second, the two brothers found out in a trance......

The two of them actually fell into the trap of Ellis, who often forgets the existence of his teammates once he protrudes on the field!

In the G4 battle, Danny Green's unfinished Grimm fairy tale will be continued tonight!

On the periphery, after receiving a pass from Ellis who deliberately slowed down and waited for him, Green got up and down and hit a three-point shot!

It's certainly impossible for North Carolina players to be superstars like Carter said.

But North Carolina players, everyone has a desire to be a hero!

Green's three-pointer set the Staples Center on fire.

On the Knicks bench, Mike Brown's face suddenly became solemn.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe Bryant joked at Wang Shuo: "It seems that tonight, I can rest a little more." ”

On the court, as the game progressed in the second quarter, Xiao Yao, who was resting on the bench, became more and more anxious.

At the critical moment, after patting Xiao Yao's back, Duncan said: "Impatience will only make us lose our reason and judgment of the game."

Trust our teammates, they are the players with whom we have built a dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao suddenly found that because he had put too much pressure on himself before the start of this round of finals, he was almost carried away by impatience.

Yes......

Regardless of the situation of the Knicks in this game, there is passivity.

Even if you lose this battle of Tianwang Mountain, it doesn't mean that the end of the Knicks will come.

Duncan has experienced a long period of precipitation in this life.

Therefore, his state of mind at this moment is even more calm than the same period of history in Wang Shuo's memory.

In the second half of the game, after the Knicks exchanged for the New York double king, the Knicks gradually stabilized the situation of the game.

But the Lakers still led the Knicks by 14 points at halftime.

At the Staples Center, the halftime score of the two teams was 54-68.

Kobe Bryant, Ellis, and Curry became the Lakers' brightest players in the first half.

In the first half, Bryant contributed a total of 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists to the Lakers.

Ellis had 14 points, five rebounds and three assists.

Curry also had 15 points, three rebounds and two assists.

After the break, Brown, who knew that it was difficult to quickly catch up with the score with only two hard chisels, arranged a large number of evacuation tasks for Yao Ming in the spirit of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

As a result, this move instead helped the Knicks play a wave of 8-0 offensive climax in the early third quarter of the game.

TNT, when the Lakers asked for a timeout, Barkley complained: "In this round of the Finals, whenever you think one side can win easily, the other side will respond quickly in the game. ”

Compared with the Lakers, the Knicks' ability to chase points is indeed weaker.

However, that's only because the Lakers' ability to chase points is too outrageous.

In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers' outside players felt a little lower, and after Brown found a way to regain stability by pulling through Yao Ming's clearance to create more opportunities for teammates, the Knicks immediately caught up.

However, at the critical moment, Wang Shuo still showed his coaching talent as a legendary coach.

After the timeout, Wang Shuo switched to Gallinari to ensure the height of the Lakers' wing rotation to the interior.

This substitution successfully helped the Lakers survive the most violent stage of the Knicks' counterattack on the court.

and waited for the moment when Kobe Bryant pressed the switch of "God descends to earth".

In the second half of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant first singled out Ariza on the outside and hit a three-pointer against Tiezha.

Then he used a small cover to successfully create Yao Ming's foul after breaking into the inside line.

And, after scoring 5 points in a row, Kobe Bryant also hit a murderous three-point chase for the Lakers in the next offensive round.

Knicks fans in front of the TV can be said to have fully felt the pain of Lakers fans in G3 and G4 on this night.

That is, whenever the team is about to catch up with the score, there are always players in the opposing lineup who can stand up and interrupt their own momentum of chasing points.

On the court, after three quarters, the Lakers still maintained a 12-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, West's two three-pointers for the Knicks in succession had already given Knicks fans hope of turning the tables in this game.

But in order to fulfill his promise to the god of coaching before the game, Ellis suddenly went viral.

Rondo can't see Ellis dead in every game.

After all, in Wang Shuo's previous life, Ellis also had a time when he got "40+" in front of Director Lang.

CCTV, after Ellis led the Lakers to double digits again, Director Zhang, who questioned Brown again in this round of the finals, said: "Does the Knicks have to consider replacing Yao Ming and Duncan?"

Keep fighting like this......

Game time doesn't allow the Knicks to continue to sit Yao Ming and Duncan on the sidelines. ”

It is true that what Director Zhang said has some truth.

But the previous G4 battle ......

The reason why Wang Shuo reduced Kobe's playing time is precisely because he knows better than anyone that this round of the finals has been Kobe Bryant, and I am afraid that if the Knicks don't kill the Lakers, the Lakers will be played to death by themselves.

The same goes for the Knicks.

In the first four games of the finals, Yao Ming and Duncan's physical fitness suffered a lot of attrition.

So, the more times like this, the more Brown needs to stay calm.

In the final quarter, it wasn't until the last six minutes, after Yao Ming and Duncan had enough rest, that Brown replaced the two guys.

However......

In the second half of the final quarter of the game, facing the well-rested New York doubles, Kobe and Ellis frequently created kills through breakthroughs to maintain the lead for the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers successfully won the high-profile battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The final score of the two teams was 111-122.

In the whole game, Bryant scored a total of 48 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists for the Lakers.

and successfully made Yao Ming and Duncan cut 30 points, 12 rebounds, 28 points, and 14 rebounds for the Knicks respectively.

On the sidelines, when the timer in the final quarter was reaching zero, Wang Shuo, who had not felt such a tense and exciting atmosphere of the finals for a long time, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the victory in this battle of Tianwang Mountain does not mean that the Lakers have won this year's championship.

But for the Lakers, who need more margin for error......

The victory in this game has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the Lakers to fight for the championship this year.

After the game, O'Neal rushed onto the court with an excited face and carried Kobe back to the locker room with a "princess hug".

Wang Shuo noticed, although Kobe Bryant's expression at the time was resistant.

But his body was very cooperative in O'Neill's arms.

The next day, the Los Angeles media commented on this scene: "Kobe and O'Neal used their different ways to help the Lakers 'KO' the Knicks in the G5 game of the Finals!" ”
