Great Western Forum Arena.

The second half of the game started, and the Lakers took the lead in making changes in offense, and Kobe started the off-ball tactic.

What's strange is that the Knicks are still focused on encircling O'Neal.

Kobe had no ball in and easily tore the Knicks' defense line, received Billups' pass, and a gliding dunk, knocked the basketball into the basket.

45 to 60!!

Off the court, the fans cheered, feeling that the Knicks in front of him were nothing special.

The game is stable.

On the commentary stage, Mike Bryn shook his head and said bluntly, "The Lakers' offense have not used all their strength yet, and the score has already been opened by more than 10 points.

Now, the Lakers' offense is giving the Knicks two difficult problems. Is it Kobe or O'Neal?

How will Van Gundy choose when it comes to defense?

Let’s take a look at the changes in the Knicks’ offense first, well… there’s no change either.”

"In terms of offense, it's still slow, and then hand the ball over to the star to play."

On the field.

Houston and Camby played a pick-and-roll tactic.

Camby received the ball, and the Niujiao area faced Kobe's change of defense, and raised his hand and made a jump shot.

With a swish, the basketball hit the ball accurately.

47 to 60!!

By the way, the Eastern Conference Finals saviors made Camby play with confidence and his condition was really hot.

This year, his shooting percentage was 52%, reaching the peak of his career, and his offensive quality was surprisingly high.

Every player will have an inexplicable state in his career. Camby just happened to play this year, which is a super god-like state that is unreasonable and has no place to reason.

Offense and defense conversion, Lakers attack.

The Knicks ignored Kobe's off-ball and chose O'Neal to defend him.

Van Gundy was not influenced by Kobe's off-ball tactics, and unswervingly identifying O'Neal is the most critical part of the entire series.

In his opinion, if O'Neal can't defend himself, how can he win the game and win the NBA championship?

To be honest, Van Gundy is stubborn but has no problem with his vision in the general direction of defense.

It’s just a pity that knowing whether it can be done well is another matter.

It’s like everyone knows that Iverson will change direction and break through to the left, who can defend himself?

You said Tyron Lou?

In the 2001 finals, Jackson asked Tyron Lou to defend Iverson because both of them were "183".

Now, O'Neal weighs 130 kg.

In the Knicks, Camby was 100 kg, Chris Dudry was 107 kg, and Herb Williams was 110 kg.

In terms of weight level response, Van Gundy is completely a "smart woman" and it is difficult to cook without rice.

No.

Not a "smart woman", but a "brother-in-law".

Still underestimating Kobe's "brother-in-law".

Then, Kobe exploded.

On the left side of the field, a back-running, turned to the right, returned to the weak side, and received Billups' pass.

On the left side of the bullhorn area, lift the ball and sway it, attracting Larry Johnson's backup defense, and with a bang, he passed the basketball to the basket.

The marginal man's big book is cut at the empty basket, and only the basket is left in front of the ball.

Boom--!

The whole body hangs on the southeast branch, and Da Ben scores two points with his hands.

And this is just the beginning, letting Kobe fight is equivalent to releasing a beast.

In the third quarter, Kobe began to punish the Knicks with his all-round offensive skills.

Pass the ball!

breakthrough!

China Investment!

Lean back and mid-shot!

Kobe didn't have three points, but it was even more fatal.

When the Knicks began to pay attention to Kobe, O'Neal was freed and began to abuse the basket frequently.

The two questions Li Mu put in front of Van Gundy were finally revealed.

No matter how he takes the call, he will die.

In the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Lakers had widened the gap between the two sides to 20 points.

At this time, it is not the time to get off work. There is no such thing as rest on the finals stage.

Moreover, the Knicks also showed their resilience and began to fight back desperately.

Houston took the ball and made a three-pointer jump shot with a three-pointer, catching Kobe off guard.

"Are you coming?

The Knicks are not a team that will give in casually.

This year's Knicks are very hard-working and inspiring!

I thought the game was over, but I couldn't say that the Knicks were pulling out the butcher knife!" Maver Albert's eyes lit up and he explained with a smile.

Then, the madman Sprewell raised the ball and made a shot from outside the three-point line.

With Kobe's experience of being forced to eat just now, Rice swept, but it turned out to be a false move.

Sprewell started to accelerate and broke through to the inside. Facing O'Neal's assisted defense, he took three steps to start the basket, and while making two points, he also caused O'Neal's foul.

Swish—!

At the free throw line, Sprewell hit the free throw steadily and scored 3 points successfully.

That's why the Knicks achieved the Black Eight Miracle.

Houston and Sprayville on the outside, the golden double gun formed by Houston and Sprayville will burst out from time to time.

If two people explode at the same time, then there is no team that can resist the offensive firepower of these two muskets.

Fortunately, the Lakers have too much advantage in the interior. The Knicks can't stand it just by O'Neal.

The Lakers also have a big bet on the team. His rebounding ability allows the Lakers' offense to be continuously and directly score the basketball.

It's a bit exaggerated, but, in the eyes of the audience, it's just this visual effect, and it feels like the Lakers can attack at will, but they can't make any progress, and they can also protect the situation.

After the third quarter, the score was 83 to 67, and the Lakers expanded their lead to 16 points.

In the last quarter, Van Gundy almost rotated eight people when Larry Johnson only played 25 minutes.

When the overall situation was decided, Li Mu still put the OK combination on the court, and then the players such as Curry, Fox, Fisher, Brad Miller who did not play very well were rotated one by one.

These marginal forces can be the main players in other teams. As a result, on the Lakers, they can only play 3 or 4 minutes on the finals stage.

Although the Knicks' salary is over, the bench is very thick and there are many powerful players who can fight, they are still weaker than the Lakers' bench.

In the fourth section, the madman Sprewell entered the "Nerve Knife" mode again, and the scoring state was very scary.

However, the Knicks were beaten up in the inside, and there were more than 15 points in front, and the head coach also liked to catch it when the pace was slow. It was just a legend.

Buzz ~~

As the scoreboard was on the beep, the game time ended.

The Lakers beat the Knicks 13 points to a good start in the finals.

The Lakers scored 6 players in double digits, including O'Neal's 12 of 17 shots, 9 of 16 free throws, 33 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, dominating the basket.

Kobe made 9 of 18 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 27 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and his performance was very comprehensive.

Da Ben scored only 9 points, but grabbed 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, and his performance was amazing.

Houston scored 22 points, but was not efficient, with only 8 of 22 shots.

Madman Sprewell scored 27 points and 5 rebounds, and had several explosions, which was very eye-catching.

The Knicks' performance of the Golden Double Gun on the Peripheral is not much worse than that of the Lakers' outside.

However, the inside line is much worse. Camby scored 11 points and 8 rebounds, Chris Dudley scored 4 points and 3 rebounds, Larry Johnson scored 25 minutes and scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. Together, it is not as good as O'Neal's performance alone. The Knicks lost it.
