Guard With a Knife

The second quarter began quickly, and Stephen Marbury returned to the bench to rest, replaced by Chris Duhon. Also...David Lee turned into Jeffreys too. As for Eddie Curry, he remains on the court.

The Lakers replaced the old Derek Fisher, who was sieved in the confrontation with Stephon Marbury, with Jordan Farmar... In Phil Jackson's triangle tactics, The role of the point guard is actually weakened. Because, the triangle offense is essentially to allow strong scorers to better open one-on-one singles.

When the whistle sounded, Kobe pulled out his shotgun!

boom!

The Black Mamba's first attack did not make a shot.

But Doug, standing on the weak side, saw with his own eyes how the Black Mamba launched an offense. Although his shot missed, every footstep, every shoulder shake, every false move trial, and even his fingers when shooting Toggle the dial...it all comes naturally!

This surprised Doug.

Recently, his physical coordination has returned to the level it was before his height surged, but...he wants to make such a natural offensive movement, he feels that he must practice hard.

Passing and dribbling, these are related to imagination and ball skills, when talent arrives... get twice the result with half the effort. But scoring skills still have to be honed through hard work. Although the hand feeling is related to many things, the technique is developed through practice and cannot be faked.

Swish!

Doug completed the pick-and-roll with Jeffries in the frontcourt, and then assisted him to hit a pull-up jumper!

Tonight... Lamar Odom was a little out of balance. Since being mercilessly cleaned up by Doug on both offensive and defensive ends in the opening game, his first thought is not to win, but to teach Doug a lesson. This made him subconsciously focus on Doug when defending the pick-and-roll, thereby missing another defender. In the first stanza, David Lee got a lot of bread because of this.

And it's worth mentioning that...Phil Jackson didn't take him off the court when he looked clearly out of shape. Maybe it's because the team really has no soldiers available, or maybe it has other intentions.

Anyway, Zen Master didn't call any timeout in the first quarter, and he sat on the bench with his old god, with an ethereal feeling of staying out of it.

Kobe Bryant turned his head and went directly to Quentin Richardson in a sideways single.

Richardson hated Kobe Bryant, and he showed a hundredfold defensive enthusiasm.

But...Kobe Bryant dried his defense aside with a simple post-up feint, then turned and shot a fadeaway jumper, even though Quentin Richardson had his hand almost in his face. ... Swish!

The basketball still fell into the net obediently.

His offensive skills have reached a natural state.

Doug looked very engrossed.

So, looking back, he was also forcing his back to take a position. He tried to get rid of Ariza's defense with post-ups.

However, his technical movements are too stagnant. Although he relied on his strong strength to push his old senior Ariza aside, his step-back jumper seemed nondescript... Bang!

Basketball strikes iron.

There was some laughter at Staples Arena.

The fans in Los Angeles are obviously mocking. They think it's too funny for Doug to paint a tiger that doesn't look like an anti-dog.

"Your pivot foot is turned wrong."

When Kobe Bryant ran to the frontcourt, he dropped a sentence coldly.

He didn't even glance at Doog, as if speaking to the air.

Doug pursed his lips and smiled, he suddenly felt that Kobe was quite interesting. At the beginning of April last year, he also spoke to himself indifferently, when he wanted to touch his MOP trophy.

Easy side to fight again, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol completed a beautiful collision into the wall. I toss the basketball to the hoop... the black mamba lobs the ball into the hoop.

The clumsy and slow Eddie Curry was powerless to stop him.

After changing sides to fight again, Doug assaulted the penalty area and passed the ball to Richardson, but Richardson's three-point shot was interfered by Kobe Bryant's flying jump.

Despite...Eddie Curry's hard work, the rebound ended up going to Pau Gasol.

The difference in strength between the two teams is visible to the naked eye. Although the Lakers lack Andrew Bynum, they are still more than one notch higher, especially when Kobe Bryant turns on the offensive mode.

The Knicks players were not frightened by the black mamba's fangs, they were still fighting tenaciously.

For them, since they have reached the finals, something has to be left behind.

Therefore, Jeffries dived out of the court to save the ball.

Therefore, in order to fight for the ball, Chris Duhon hugged Lamar Odom even if he was thrown on the ground, he would never let go.

Therefore, even though Eddie Curry was sweating like sweat, he still played back singles tenaciously. After turning around, he even tried hard to take off and dunk to improve morale, although he was caught by the basket in the end, which caused a roar of laughter from all the Lakers fans.

"To a certain extent, Eddie Curry, who failed to dunk, represents the Knicks today. Although they worked hard, worked hard, and showed a completely different game attitude from before. However, the gap in strength cannot Make up for it with mental strength. It's like Snoopy couldn't hit Kobe Bryant's neat step-back step-back and fade-away jumper no matter how hard he tried."

McBrin said to the camera: "I respect the Knicks very much. I am very optimistic about their future. I think they have a chance to become the veritable king of the Eastern Conference. But now, there are 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter. The Lakers The lead has reached 8 points. And, every minute in the future, this number will be stacked up."

His voice just fell.

drop!

Phil Jackson requested a timeout.

Then, 20 seconds later.

The Lakers made earth-shaking changes, DJ Mbenga, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown and Sasha Vujacic played. It is equivalent to Odom alone with four substitutes present.

At this point in time, all commentators were surprised by the replacement of a pure substitute lineup.

This is not a normal rotation time.

Shouldn't the Knicks be smashed while the iron is hot?

Everyone was surprised by Phil Jackson's staffing.

At this time, the Knicks finally replaced Zach Randolph, and at the same time, Snoopy also returned to the power forward position. Gallinari partnered Richardson on the wings, and the point guard became Nate Robinson.

This is a pure offensive lineup.

boom!

When ... Shannon Brown's shot missed and Doug pulled off the rebound, the Knicks quickly mobilized the offense.

Arriving at the frontcourt, the basketball was directly handed over to Randolph in the penalty area.

Randolph played Mbenga with a back-up single. Although he was still a little uncomfortable after he just returned from injury, Mbenga's level was indeed a bit low, which gave Fatty Lan a good chance to join forces. He played two rounds repeatedly. circle, only to throw the basketball out... Bang!

Basketball is a little bit ironic.

But fortunately, Doug got rid of Odom in time, jumped up and put the basketball into the basket.

Looking back, Odom, who has become the core of the rotation, seized the opportunity and tried to single Dug again.

But... bam!

His shot was slightly off-center.

Looking back, Doug deep into the paint, then passed the ball to Gallinari outside the three-point line.

The Italians raised their swords and fell... Shua!

Three points.

The point difference quickly narrowed to 3 points.

The Knicks are on the move.

But Phil Jackson obviously didn't intend to call a timeout. He sat firmly in the military tent without raising his eyelids.

He has his plans.

If the game is too easy to win, then Bynum's suspension is meaningless.

This game must be used to let Old Buss know: If Jim Buss takes 90% of the shares, it must be the beginning of disaster for the Lakers. He can't control the entire team, he will only accelerate the division of the team.

At the same time, the Knicks are frantically devouring the point difference, and at the same time, Zach Randolph is constantly getting back the feeling of the game.

Randolph's offense is getting smoother with the help of DJ Mbenga's efforts: For players returning from injury, it usually takes a less than strong but actively working defender to find the feel of the game ... Mbenga For Fatty Lan, it was just right.

At the same time, Richardson and Gallinari also stood up respectively.

They hit three-pointers one after another!

beep!

When the halftime whistle sounded, 59:54.

Instead, the Knicks went ahead by 5 points.

But this didn't make the fans on the scene nervous. As fans of the rich, they were not worried about it at all. After all, everyone knew that the strength of the Lakers was far better than that of the Knicks.

The commentators of several TV stations also pointed out that the Lakers habitually underestimated the enemy. As long as Kobe Bryant returns to the game in the second half, the situation will be reversed soon.

Then, they started discussing the duchess girls on the sidelines.

Because the live camera found that Taylor Swift was livid and refused KK's handshake, but Selena had a good conversation with Karlie Kloss, and Demi occasionally joined in.

Taylor Swift got together with Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Britney Spears.

They seem to be very different from each other, and they are like fire and water.

This situation has aroused the curiosity of gossip fans to a greater extent, they are staring at the TV, trying to dig out some secrets.

But nothing seems to be gaining.

Only Charles Barkley kept talking in the voice-over. He commented on all the duchess girls as a basketball player: "If Snoopy wants his little friend to become a child star, he can try to be with Miley Cyrus Or Selena walks into the marriage hall!"

"If Snoopy wants to have a bunch of little models, then Karlie Kloss is the perfect marriage."

"If you want a young singer to inherit your talent, there is no one better than Taylor Swift."

"However, if Snoopy wants his kids to inherit his basketball genes. The best choice is Rihanna. Her physical fitness looks better. Their combination may produce a super super like LeBron James." forward…"

His nonsense was unbearably complained by Earl Johnson: "According to your theory, if Snoopy marries Kim Kardashian, can he give birth to a basketball player like Charles Barkley?"

"..."
