Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

“lets go home!”

“lets go home!”

You rarely see the DJ shouting for the fans to go home right after the first quarter of the finals.

Especially in a high-profile dialogue like the Lakers vs. Knicks, if you do this, some fans will probably look at you sideways and say: Are you polite?

But tonight, it’s very reasonable!

40-21 in a single quarter, leading by 19 points in a single quarter. If the team name was covered up, you would think it was the Knicks playing Bobcats, or something like the Timberwolves.

The Bobcats "teng" stood up. Although my brother lost miserably and swept home gracefully, at least he also entered the playoffs. How can losing in the playoffs be called a fish belly?!

The Timberwolf also stood up suddenly, and then sat down again after thinking about it... There is nothing wrong with my belly, you continue, you continue.

But no matter how you think about it, the Lakers have nothing to do with it. They are the defending champions, with a star-studded team and the league’s signature figure, Kobe Bryant. They can actually lose by 19 points in a single quarter, and they are still in the finals!?

"Incredible." Buckley wiped his sweat and said what he saw.

He is actually more optimistic about the Lakers in this game. After losing the first game, he adjusted and fought back. This is an old script, and the Lakers do have this strength, but what is this!

David Stern is also wiping away his sweat. In fact, he is also more optimistic about the Lakers. The Lakers have shown their resilience countless times in previous games.

In addition, the bench is deep and the second and third leaders are strong, so we can come back no matter what.

did not expect!

"Hiss~ Are the Knicks growing too fast?" Stern wiped away his sweat: "However, it shouldn't be the case. The Lakers are still very resilient, and the Knicks' shooting percentage is indeed exaggerated.

After a while, no one can keep investing like this forever, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

Know the ball!

Sure enough, although the league president is a businessman, he still understands the basic principles of basketball.

Indeed, the reason why the Knicks were able to lead so much in the first quarter was not because the Lakers did not play well. Oh, it looked like they did not play well. After all, there were only 19 points in a single quarter, especially in the second half of the quarter. The Lakers' shooting percentage

It has dropped to 30%, which is considered very low, but it still cannot be said that this is entirely the fault of the Lakers themselves.

The Lakers actually played well in the first half of the quarter, with a shooting percentage of 47% and only one turnover. The defense was also very good. If we play like this, let alone 40 points in a single quarter, 30 points may not be a big problem.

But at about 6 minutes, it fell off a cliff. It stopped making shots, made too many mistakes, and even its defense declined.

It’s not that the Lakers were suddenly bewitched, but the Knicks are really too unreasonable!

According to Zhang’s words: “No matter how much you invest, you will have success!”

In the first quarter, 4 Knicks players made 6 three-pointers, and all of them went in!

Hit rate 100%!

The two-point shooting rate is not that high, but you tell me that the 70% shooting rate is not an exaggeration, nor is it appropriate.

If you add in 6 of 6 free throws...

Intelligent fans have already begun to observe a moment of silence for the Lakers.

Yes, no one will be confused when seeing this hit rate and luck.

Kenny Smith was impressed by the Knicks' shooting heat map in the first quarter. In the entire first quarter, the Knicks only scored 6 points in the penalty area. The rest were all mid-range and three-pointers outside the penalty area. Each shot was farther than the last. One by one, the limit is compared. Many times you feel that it is impossible for him to score this goal, but he can score it, which is annoying or not.

Zuo Li made all 6 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 16 points and almost caught up with the entire Lakers team.

This Lakers fan can still understand that Zuo Li is an old scoring machine. His scoring ability, explosive scoring power, and threat are all well-known. 16 points in one quarter is just a basic skill.

But Randolph scored 8 points on 4-of-4 shots, Chandler scored 5 points on 2-for-2 shots, and Dragic scored 7 points on 3-of-5 shots. This was a bit unbearable.

Forget about one of you being accurate, all of them are accurate?! Are you still having fun?

With such a shooting rate, how can the Lakers maintain a stable mentality? Moreover, the continuous expansion of defense has also made the Lakers' defense more and more loopholes, which ultimately led to this situation.

Zen Master frowned during the break. Listening to the assistant coach's report on the Knicks' scoring distribution, he didn't even know who to focus on in the second quarter.

"Kobe, what's your opinion?" The Zen master turned to ask Kobe, who was obviously angry.

"Fuck! Give me the ball and I'll recover the score!" Kobe would never be satisfied with the way his team played in the first quarter. His strong desire to win made him start the full scoring mode again.

"Well, let's do it." When he was in doubt, he went to Kobe. At this time, only Kobe could be trusted by the Zen master.

"Others, please defend well. It is absolutely impossible for them to maintain such a shooting rate. The restrictions will prevent them from easily shooting the ball, especially the left winger, who will let the new round of shots come up. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The regrouped Lakers only replaced Bynum, and the others were ready to play with each other. Kobe Bryant made a three-pointer and scored a three-pointer!

As for the Knicks, Ke Liu, Curry partnered in the backcourt, and David Lee replaced Randolph, they really could not bring enough threats to Kobe.

Moreover, D'Antoni's substitutions have encountered a lot of doubts. After all, the starter played so well in the first quarter, wouldn't it be a waste of experience to substitute them all.

There are so many newcomers, and if they can’t keep up, 19 points is nothing!

Curry hit the iron on his first three-point shot.

"Look, look! It really is so!" The fans looked like they had guessed correctly, especially A. Smith, who said he was ready to apply for the Knicks head coach position.

On the other side, Kobe broke through and scored another 2 points, scoring 5 points in a row to pull the score to 14 points. Many people felt that it was time to make a substitution.

As a result, Curry immediately responded with a three-pointer...

"Nice! Brother, that's a beautiful shot!" Zuo Li, who was passing the ball, high-fived Curry excitedly. Just don't make one. To a pitcher, that's nothing. Just shoot again!

ESPN commentator Harlem laughed loudly and was about to mock A Smith, but when A Smith raised his arms in the air, he was even more excited than Curry: "Oh oh oh oh oh~~ Stephen! New York's three-point champion! The best shooter. !I love you!”

Harlem: "..."

It’s not without reason that commentators outside are thick-skinned.

In response to a three-pointer, the Knicks once again waited for an outside shooter. The Lakers played for 2 minutes and recovered one point. It was very uncomfortable.

Kobe continued his explosive journey, scoring 17 points in this quarter. However, Curry scored 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and Zuo Li scored 10 points on 4-for-4 in a single quarter, allowing the Knicks to continue to maintain a 19-point lead.

leading.

"The Knicks' shooting percentage has indeed dropped, but...it doesn't seem to have any impact if it drops to 70%." Director Zhang also began to wipe his sweat. This game seemed to be over.

In the second half, Kobe only played one quarter and scored 9 points, because after that, it was garbage time.

The Lakers didn't wait until the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped, but they lost confidence first and were already 25 points behind at the end of the third quarter.

The Zen master decisively chose to conserve his strength and replace the main force.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Lakers 128-100, and the total score became 2-0!

"We still have two wins before the championship!" the DJ at the scene roared passionately.

At this moment, the whole world believed that the Knicks were going to win the championship.
