Before Anthony could get the ball, he was tightly entangled by Lin Tian. He frowned and tried to break away from Lin Tian's defense to get the ball, but failed.

Seeing that Anthony had no chance to catch the ball, Calderon simply chose to rush in himself.

The ball was interfered with by Howard in time and failed to be made. Howard also took off the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian rushed forward with the ball, passed Anthony with a gorgeous crossover, and hit Porzingis with a basket, scoring consecutive points!

The Lakers further widened the point difference, which also made Knicks fans feel uneasy.

Anthony has not participated in two offenses. This time, before halftime, he received a pass from Calderon.

Lin Tian greeted him with open arms and a smile.

Anthony could feel an invisible sense of compulsion from Lin Tian's calm smile.

He came to the wing with the ball, first passed it to Calderon, and Calderon passed it back to him to avoid a second move.

Next Anthony made his famous "triple threat" pose.

Anyone who knows Anthony knows that whether he is passing, breaking through or shooting, he can be unpredictable.

Lin Tian was very confident in his defense. He did not stick up, giving Anthony a certain amount of shooting space, but he would not let the opponent break through.

Before Anthony made this move, he actually thought about breaking through in this attack, but Lin Tian was on the verge of breaking through, so he could only raise his hand and shoot.

Lin Tian's body collapsed and he jumped up the moment Anthony took action.

This time he did not complete the block, but when the basketball flew over his head, it was almost only one centimeter away from his fingertips!

As soon as the ball was thrown, Anthony shook his head, knowing that he couldn't score.

Bang!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the frame, and when it fell, Howard, who had already positioned himself in advance, easily grabbed it.

Howard's arrival has guaranteed the Lakers' rebounding.

He didn't even take a shot of the ball before he immediately passed the ball to Lin Tian's hands again.

Lin Tian ran all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Anthony couldn't stop him. In the end, he watched as he scored two points.

Fisher on the sidelines scratched his bald head, showed a rather ugly expression, and then called a timeout.

We are already so far behind at the beginning. It’s not easy to be a coach!

The momentum of the Lakers was high. When Lin Tian returned to the bench, he high-fived other members of the team, assistant coaches and others one by one to celebrate.

Sitting back on the bench, Kobe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Lin Tian with satisfaction: "Yes! This is how you should play! You are a born performer!"

Scott's tactical board came to a few people: "It worked well just now. Next, the Knicks may adjust their style of play. We need..."

After Scott said a few words, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Lin Tian's single defense against Anthony was very effective, so naturally he will continue to defend Anthony.

As a long-established star, Anthony did not give in in front of a junior like Lin Tian, ​​and still got the ball before halftime.

This time he chose to rush Lin Tian, ​​but when he rushed inside to prepare for a turnaround jumper, Lin Tian predicted it and cut the ball away!

As soon as the ball was obtained, Lin Tian performed another beautiful fast break score.

While the Knicks were serving, Kobe smiled at Anthony and said, "Carmelo! Try passing the ball. It's the world of young people now."

Although the two are good friends off the court, they are not friends on the court.

Kobe's words undoubtedly angered Anthony. He stared angrily and once again chose to fight Lin Tian alone.

This time, he used his nimble steps and soft touch to score a goal, which also made the home fans relax a little.

But what the Knicks will face next is a 360-degree attack from Lin Tian with no blind spots!

He and Anthony are completely at odds!

The following rounds almost became Lin Tian's wonderful personal offensive show!

A step-back three-pointer, a graceful jump shot after a breakthrough, a fatal mid-range shot...

The defensive problems that Anthony has always been criticized for were also infinitely magnified in the first quarter of this game.

He himself is a player who is better at offense than defense, and he is even more so the leader of the team in the Knicks. He is definitely not as focused on defense as he is on offense.

But today, Anthony was actually working extremely hard to defend Lin Tian, ​​but he couldn't.

With more than two minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Tian had already scored 20 points in a single quarter! He made 8 of 10 shots! His shooting rate reached 80%!

Although Anthony also scored 10 points, he took 9 shots! The offensive efficiency of the two is obvious.

The score between the Lakers and the Knicks is now 33:17, and the Knicks are 16 points behind!

When Scott took Lin Tian off the field, Lin Tian could feel the eyes of the home fans that could kill someone.

However, he didn't care about it and instead showed a confident smile to the fans.

On the Knicks side, fans have already booed their home players.

It is really rare for a team to defect in the first quarter.

As the head coach of the Knicks, veteran Fisher also has some big heads.

He never thought that he could win against the Lakers today, but he also couldn't imagine that his team could be so far behind before the first quarter was over.

Moreover, Anthony was extremely obsessed with singles, and Fisher didn't dare to have any objections.

Last season, Fisher tactfully mentioned to Anthony that he should pass the ball appropriately, but Anthony didn't listen at all.

Anthony has never been good at handling coaching relationships.

After the timeout, the core players of both sides took a temporary rest.

The Lakers' offense is mainly led by Nick Young.

As a player born for big occasions, the more Nick Young goes to big occasions, the more he likes to show off himself.

Facing several Knicks substitutes, Nick Young had an extremely strong desire to attack and scored several goals in a row.

The Big Three of the Lakers were sitting off the court to rest. After witnessing Nick Young's wonderful three-pointer, Howard stood up from the bench with a whoosh and raised his hands in celebration.

Not only can Howard kill everyone in the paint and return to the bench, he is also the most active player in the Lakers' "atmosphere group".

Nick Young's personal performance continued. When the first quarter was over, the score difference between the two sides reached an extremely exaggerated 20 points!

Being able to widen the point difference by so much in one quarter is extremely rare in the NBA! This can only show one problem, the two sides are not teams of the same level at all.

What resulted from taking too much of a lead was that after the start of the second quarter, the Lakers' Big Three simply let Howard play early.

The Knicks now temporarily use Porzingis as center.

Porzingis is a talented offensive player, but his body is very thin and looks like a tall bamboo pole. In addition, he is a rookie who has just entered the league. He has no way to compete with Howard in the paint.

This made Howard, who spent most of the first quarter grabbing rebounds, very happy. He kept asking Clarkson for the ball, and then repeatedly beat Porzingis.

Porzingis, as one of the strongest rookies in this class, can barely use his offense to threaten Howard.

His flexible feet and extremely soft touch are something Howard doesn't have.

Therefore, after the start of the second quarter, the insiders on both sides felt that no one could guard the other.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Howard still has the advantage, because once Porzingis doesn't feel good, he will be in trouble.

Lin Tian and Kobe rested for several minutes before returning to the court.

During their absence, the score not only did not narrow, but actually widened further.

With Lin Tian's return, the Knicks' defensive formation was completely blown away again.

After all, veteran Fisher is just a young head coach. Without a complete defensive system, how can he defend against Lin Tian.

Because Lin Tian was ahead by so much, his desire to attack was reduced a lot. He still focused on guarding Anthony.

Kobe also started to exert his strength at this time! He has been practicing three-pointers frequently recently, and he scored two three-pointers soon after his appearance in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Lakers already led the Knicks by a full 28 points! They were only one step away from a 30-point deficit.

Judging from the existing examples, this is basically a death sentence for the Knicks.

This season, the Knicks have never comeback after falling behind by 28 points.

The Knicks fans at home sighed, while Kobe fans had gleaming eyes.

After returning from the second half, the two sides played more peacefully than in the first half, at least for the Lakers.

Lin Tian attacks with the ball less often and gives the ball more to Kobe and Howard.

The Knicks have been used to falling behind this season and have not shown the determination to fight to the end.

Only Anthony has a strong desire to challenge Lin Tian in singles with the ball, but his efficiency is not high.

After Anthony missed a mid-range shot against Lin Tian, ​​the live broadcast footage also showed Knicks owner James Dolan sitting in the audience.

James Dolan was seen looking at the players on the field with his eyes blankly. He didn't seem to know that he was captured by the camera.

In the studio, the game was basically over, and Barkley and Smith were not as excited as usual.

Barkley said bluntly: "It's unimaginable! Cameron was restricted by a rookie! This is so rare!"
