Triangle offense!!

After Li Zhen understood the idea, the answer was ready to come out!

When the Lakers were at their lowest, they could compete with the Suns in seven games, despite Kobe Bryant's super offensive power.

But it can also be proved that the strategy of dividing areas by triangle offense and killing one by one can encroach on run and gun.

Today, the Knicks have a very strong lineup, and the player characteristics can be perfectly integrated into the triangle offense. Although Marc Gasol's skills are not as refined as his brother's, he has the traditional passing skills derived from Spain. Zach Landovra

The ability to start singles is also very strong. Other players like Matt Barnes, Gallinari, and Francisco are perfect plug-and-play supporting players.

Therefore, there is no problem switching to the triangle offense.

After Li Zhen put forward this suggestion, Stevens and Jamie Lin immediately started to arrange it.

The entire plan was quickly put together.

Although it is a little rough, with Li Zhen on the court, it is not a problem at all.

The second half of the game came quickly.

The Lakers still adopt a run-and-gun attitude, and Kobe Bryant is still restraining his natural instincts. While he is trying his best to suppress his desire to score, the Lakers' overall offense is running very vigorously.

But when they return to the defensive end.

But I found that the Knicks had quietly changed.

Li Zhen no longer coordinates from the top of the three-point arc, but directly drops to the left side to start the singles mode. Kobe Bryant closely follows Li Zhen, and Li Zhen plays a decent post-up singles against the Black Mamba.

They have played against each other countless times in private training.

The Black Mamba can limit Li Zhen's shooting percentage, but it cannot limit Li Zhen's shots...and if Kobe relaxes, Li Zhen is capable of hitting the ball.

This just hit Kobe's Achilles' heel, forcing him to keep an eye on Li Zhen.

At this time, Zach Randolph pulled to the weak side and had a chance.

Li Zhen immediately passed the ball over.

Randolph played Lamar Odom in isolation, and he naturally and skillfully attacked Odom, then turned around and hit the hook!

This scene surprised Phil Jackson at first, and then he became a little happy.

He saw right away that this was a triangle offense setup.

He didn't expect that the Knicks would use the Lakers' tactics to deal with the Lakers.

But soon, he thought...this group of players is so adapted to the triangle offense, won't it be seamless after I join?

The Zen master's mind inevitably wandered.

At this time, the Lakers' quick offense on the court was also met with strong defense.

Li Zhen and Barnes teamed up to flank Kobe.

The Black Mamba, who is not a pure point guard, still has a conditioned reflex. He is used to shooting from the double flank... Bang!

Basketball but iron.

The rebound was won by Marc Gasol on his brother.

The Knicks held on for one round in an orderly manner.

This brought great joy to the fans at the scene. They regained their confidence and cheered louder for the home team.

Although they couldn't understand the Knicks' tactical changes, they could still understand the picture.

Whoosh!

The Knicks once again completed an easy offense.

It was still Li Zhen who opened the singles, and then passed the ball to Marc Gasol. Gasol used an exquisite pass to guide Barnes for a layup!

The score difference narrowed further.

After entering the defensive end, the Knicks, under the leadership of Li Zhen, adopted the strategy of forcing out the original form of the Black Mamba. They attacked Kobe in advance... After Kobe's passing vision was hindered, he habitually switched to the offensive mode.

He was born to attack all his life.

His basketball philosophy has always been to throw the ball into the basket with his own hands.

Whoosh!

He completed a beautiful and difficult pull-up jumper from beyond the three-point line.

But Li Zhen still looked excited.

Compared with Kobe Bryant challenging difficult goals, he was more worried about the Lakers being led by Kobe to complete the offensive frenzy.

At this time, Phil Jackson also made a mistake and failed to adjust in time.

Instead, he was immersed in the Knicks' triangle offense.

He was looking forward to the future a little too much.

It is inevitable that you are in Cao's camp and your heart is in Han.

The Knicks took this opportunity to recover 7 points in the first 5 minutes of the second half, bringing the score back to single digits.

It was too late for Phil Jackson to call timeout again.

TNT commentator Charles Barkley said with a smile during the timeout: "Who would have thought that the Knicks would actually use the Lakers' tactics to defeat the Lakers' run and gun? Now, it can even be declared that the Knicks are the best in the Eastern Conference in the triangle offense.

Team up."

His expression was relaxed.

Even more relaxed than him is Kenny Smith.

As a Knicks fan, he was on tenterhooks in the first half of the game. But as the second half played steadily, he relaxed again. He knew that tonight was the moment when the Knicks made history!!

"If the Lakers don't change their tactics, they will be slowly consumed by the Knicks in this way!"

Kenny said so.

Beep!

When the timeout came back, the Lakers changed their strategy and returned to the serious triangle offensive mode.

Sure enough, the gap was immediately apparent. Using the same triangle offense, the Lakers were indeed more proficient.

However, one minute later, the Knicks made a substitution.

They announced that they would no longer play the triangle offense.

The Knicks played run and gun with Gallinari, Francisco, Eddie Griffin and Yi Jianlian.

This is an absolute run-and-gun team.

It's a crazy competition when you get on the field, turn on the F1 racing mode!

Moreover, what is unexpected is that all these guys have great touch!!

Although the referees consciously favored certain offenses of the Lakers.

But the Knicks' shooters couldn't stand it and all the shooters opened fire!

Gallinari hit two three-pointers in his first appearance.

Francisco even showed off his dazzling aura as the three-point king, with two in the bottom corners, one at the top of the arc, and a beautiful layup.

Yi Jianlian also made consecutive hits from high positions.

And Eddie Griffin, after picking and rolling with Li Zhen, he hit the Lakers penalty area like a raptor, and dunks happened one after another!

The score difference was evened out almost instantly, and then the lead was completed.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks already led by 3 points.

After the start of the fourth quarter.

The Knicks returned to normal mode and played positional offense with the Lakers.

The steady rhythm made the Lakers breathless.

"The Knicks' lineup is so strong!!" Charles Barkley sincerely praised: "Isiah Thomas is really amazing! The team he built is definitely the most perfect and strongest team in the new century, and the combination is extremely good.

Reasonable and sophisticated, able to play position, fast break, and also defensively! The scariest thing is that they won the championship in the first year of their reconstruction..."

Charles Barkley was simply speechless.

He felt that no words of praise could give him the most accurate praise.

Frankly speaking, his previous evaluation of Isiah Thomas was negative and extremely unfavorable. Not many people of his generation liked the Bad Boys.

But now, the Knicks' situation forces them to be convinced. Every transaction of Isiah Thomas is worthy of praise and praise.

It is a pity that he can no longer stand on the stage of the finals in person to receive worship!

"I think even Michael Jordan is actively working hard to communicate with Isiah Thomas, hoping that he will join the Charlotte Bobcats!"

Kenny joked on TV.

But this is really not a joke.
