On the night of February 21, New Jersey, the Mainland Air Arena.

The Lakers are away from home against the Nets led by Marbury.

The game started, Billups was in trouble. He was beaten by Iverson the night before, and was cleaned up by Marbury tonight.

By the way, the Nets' tactics are breakthroughs, breakthroughs, passes, breakthroughs, breakthroughs.

This tactic is simply a paradise for Marbury.

The sharp breakthrough made Billups' defense completely unbearable.

I have to say that the Nets have good offensive strength from the outside.

In addition to Marbury, there is also Corey Kiddles, who is nicknamed "Mosquito", who can score 17 points and 5 rebounds at the peak, and is one of the representative figures of the 96 Golden Generation.

According to legend, the Nets wanted to choose Kobe with the No. 8 pick, but Kobe refused, and threatened that the Nets would choose him and want to play in Italy. The Nets could only choose the second candidate Correkidles.

To be honest, Kiddles is even better than Kobe, has a sharp breakthrough, and has a soft mid-range shot. He has 16.4 points and 4 rebounds in the rookie season, which is much better than Kobe's data.

It’s just a pity that when Marbury came to the net team, the data began to plummet.

You ask Marbury is too independent and won't pass the ball to him?

There is also this reason, mainly because he was injured and his vitreous physique began to show that he was too light in weight. With his current defensive strength, his body could not withstand the shooting skills of his type.

However, he averaged 13 points and 3 rebounds per game, and the fuel tank of the battle was still oily.

In addition, the small forward position is also Kendalgill, one of the Hornets' double evil spirits, with 22 points and 6 rebounds at the peak, and now he still has 13 points and 4 rebounds.

In the 98/99 season, he was the league's steal king and had a triple-double performance with 10 steals.

Anyway, this person is very powerful.

In addition, power forward Keith Van Horn, who was second in 1997, was regarded as "Bird II". He now averages 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Just looking at the outside card, you can really take advantage of your home court advantage and compete with the Lakers to decide the winner.

However, the Nets' inside strength is not enough, Van Horn is strong in offense and weak in defense, and the legendary defensive consciousness flow.

It is better than eye-visual defense flow, and the physical confrontation is zero.

Facing Da Ben and O'Neal, I couldn't stand it at all.

The Lakers are not weak on the outside, both inside and outside, both offense and defense.

The Nets can only attack, Marbury also has no defense, and Kiddles' defense is also a waste...

The net team asked, do I have a chance?

The Lakers dare to say: Sorry, you don’t have a chance.

The score was 121 to 105, and the Lakers beat the Nets by 16 points.

...

On the night of February 24, the Staples Center Staples Stadium.

The Lakers welcomed their opponents to the Knicks in the finals last season.

After a simple appearance and warm-up, the starting lineup of both sides tonight was played on the big screen of the arena.

Li Mu responded to changes in the same situation, and the iron-striking team played, Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, and O'Neal.

Brother-in-law Van Gundy's opponents have changed, but he remains unchanged. The five starting players are still Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, the madman Sprewell, Larry Johnson, and Ewing.

On the commentary stage, Mike Brynn commented, "The Madman proved himself last season, completed a contract renewal with the Knicks and got the opportunity to start.

Ewing naturally has to occupy a position when he returns. Camby, who performed amazingly last season's playoffs, could only press onto the bench.

After all, there are no Ewing, no Knicks.”

Beep~~

In the jump ball, Ewing exerted his strength, defeating O'Neal, who was getting fatter and fatter, and gained the first offensive ball for the Knicks.

Charlie Ward skillfully passed the ball to Ewing in the frontcourt.

At this time, Larry Johnson covered the side and helped Alan Houston get rid of the defense.

Ewing passed the ball near the free throw line, Alan Houston received the ball, jumped up, and took action...

The entire shooting action is not redundant, just like a textbook standard.

Swish—!

2 to 0!!

Alan Houston's central investment is still reliable.

This season, he can average 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and he is in very good shape.

The Knicks' offense gradually turned to the outside.

During the offense and defense transition, Billups passed the ball to O'Neal, sat back with the ball, and was hit by the ball, and immediately passed the ball out of the outside line.

Bowen made a three-point jump shot from the right...

Bang-!

Failed to score, Da Ben grabbed the frontcourt rebound and quickly passed the ball to Kobe who rushed in.

Bang-!

He caught the ball and jumped up, and scored two points with one hand.

2 to 2!!

The Knicks attacked, and Charlie Ward still handed the basketball over to Ewing.

The Lakers' mobile defense assisted defender immediately passed the ball to the outside man Sprewell.

Receive the ball, three threat postures, lift the ball, start, accelerate and break strongly towards the inside line.

Kobe was knocked away.

At this time, Kobe, who had not gained weight, could not stop the impact of the madman.

Facing O'Neal and Da Ben's double ghost slap in the door, the madman only had the basket in his eyes.

Bang-!!

Beep~~

The big book's blocking slammed the basketball away, but the referee blew the whistle.

The thug who was sentenced to a foul.

Swish-swish-!

At the free throw line, the madman was not ruthless and made two steadily.

4 to 2!!

"The Knicks have officially entered the golden double gun era, and the Ewing era is almost gone.

Now the attack core has turned to the double guns on the outside!!" said Mav Albert.

With just a few attacks, the changes in the Knicks have become very obvious.

The offensive ball rights have already turned to the outside double gun.

Bang —!

Ewing was chiseled open by O'Neal. At the age of 37, his body could no longer compete with O'Neal.

Turning around, pulling the ball to the basket, and when Ewing flew up, O'Neal then got the basket, carried Ewing's block and poured the basketball into the basket.

Beep~~

The referee's whistle also sounded.

O'Neal scored two points and was also valid, and there was a chance to get a penalty.

Bang-!

O'Neal's 2+1 chance came out, and free throws were his weakness and he didn't hit.

4 to 4!!

"O'Neal's penalty area is invincible. If the free throw is better, the Lakers will not be a dream to create a dynasty.

Compared with Jordan, his flaws are too obvious." Mike Brynn commented.

"Of course, if you want to seize O'Neal's flaw, first of all, you must withstand the impact of his weight of more than 150 kilograms. This alone makes most of your opponents feel desperate!"

Looking back, Ewing used the Rabbit's trick and scored two points in front of O'Neal.

6 to 4!!

Ewing's fuel tank is indeed still oily. This season, he can still average 15 points and 9 rebounds per game.

This was obtained in the era of golden double guns, and it was really not easy.

The Lakers attacked and Kobe played the off-ball tactic.
