Barkley jumped to his feet in the studio and cursed, but at this time the game had restarted. Yang Mo led his chaotic lineup onto the court with high spirits. When the fans at the scene saw this nondescript set of fans, they couldn't help but
There were some boos, but they were quickly quelled by Yang Mo's die-hard fans with enthusiastic cheers, but the remaining emotion was still one of distrust and rejection.
For them, what's the difference between this and surrendering without resistance? Even if they don't want to win, they should at least show some sincerity? In the second quarter, they replaced garbage players and turned the game into garbage time. Isn't it too disrespectful to these buyers?
Anyone got tickets?
The fans did not understand the Knicks' lineup, and Kenny Smith from the t-n-t broadcast room was even more arrogant. He proudly said: "Look, the Knicks have collapsed. They even replaced Nate Robinson."
, is this not admitting defeat? Do they still want to rely on this lineup to develop any defensive capabilities? They are destined to be gradually slaughtered by the Lakers."
Kenny Smith's confidence in the Lakers is too strong, but Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is not optimistic at all. Even though he has not had much dealings with Yang Mo, he also knows that Yang Mo is definitely not
A person who will take the initiative to surrender. But... now he has released this lineup again. It is too abnormal. Does it mean... this guy wants to completely give up defense and focus all his energy on offense? But... the offense of this lineup is not the Knicks.
The strongest one?
Phil Jackson is so sophisticated, but he still can't see through Yang Mo's mind.
Yang Mo's lineup is not about giving up defense, but strategically giving up part of the defense and strengthening it in some aspects. As for offense, this lineup is indeed not the Knicks' strongest offensive lineup, but it is the craziest.
The offensive lineup. Since Steady Wen can't break the Lakers' undefeated streak, they can only try to win with a missed goal.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Mo sent the ball to Nate Robinson, the whole team started running wildly. Although the Lakers had already had someone stationed at half court, they never expected that the Knicks would be so crazy. Nate Robinson
He brought the ball to the frontcourt, two steps away from the three-point line, and he just made a jump shot... and he even made it! Whoops!
When the basketball hit the net, Nate Robinson roared: "I am Wolverine!"
This guy is indeed an energy kid. Although he can't do this or that, if you put him on the court and give him freedom, he can go crazy on his own. This is why he can stay in the NBA, and this is why Yang Mo uses him.
reasons.
When Nate Robinson roared, the Lakers didn't even react...did the ball go in? Did the ball really go in? Is it too fast?!
At this time, Yang Mo encouraged Nate Robinson and reminded him: "Next time you have to pay attention to the distance of your shooting. It's not good if it's too far. Do you understand?"
"Hey, I understand." Nate Robinson chuckled and nodded clearly.
Although this guy is a bit clingy and has a selfish style of play. But under Yang Mo, he doesn't dare to mess around at all, because he knows Yang Mo's fighting strength better than anyone else. Last season, he almost didn't get beaten by Yang Mo.
Beat him to death.
When the Lakers reacted, Fisher took the ball across half court. As soon as he came over, Nate Robinson quickly clung to him and kept squeezing and pushing him with his body, like a mad dog.
This is what Yang Mo told him about his defense, asking him to desperately interfere with the aging Fisher. Although Robinson's defense is a bit poor, he is still motivated, and Yang Mo also told him clearly that there is no need to worry about fouls, as long as they are not intentional fouls.
, even if he plays the full game tonight, he will start the next game.
Starting the game is undoubtedly a great temptation for Nate Robinson, which stimulates his enthusiasm to the maximum extent.
Nate Robinson was responsible for guarding Fisher, but Yang Mo and Jordan Hill tightly controlled Bynum and Gasol inside. As for Kobe and Odom, Yang Mo did not make any demands.
Just let Gallinani and Chandler keep up.
This kind of defense is equivalent to pinching the front and back ends of the Lakers, allowing the forwards and guards in the middle to perform.
Although Jordan Hill is a rookie, his physical fitness and enthusiasm are very good. With Yang Mo as the backing support, he controlled Bynum very well. As for Gasol, he subconsciously reacted when he met Yang Mo.
He couldn't let go of his hands and feet, as if he was born to be restrained.
The Knicks strangled the Lakers at both ends, and Kobe Bryant, the strongest attacking point, was liberated. Therefore, Kobe easily got a mid-range shot opportunity, and the basketball accurately penetrated the net.
But the moment he shot, the Knicks' three outside players ran quickly to the frontcourt like clockwork, and Jordan Hill also quickly passed the ball to Yang Mo after scoring.
Yang Mo threw the ball to the frontcourt with a long throw. Nate Robinson caught the ball and threw it high. Wilt Chandler rushed into the penalty area and jumped high to slam the ball into the basket.
A very easy and clean two points. The entire offense was flowing smoothly. Only Nate Robinson shot the ball once in the whole process. In fact, at the moment when Wilt Chandler dunked the basketball into the basket, the Lakers only had
Kobe Bryant chased inside the three-point line alone, while the Knicks had three.
One can defend against three? How can one defend against them?
When two consecutive crazy extreme fast breaks came out, those Knicks fans who originally thought the home team was surrendering immediately realized that this was not surrender, but an offensive tactic even crazier than running and gunning.
Phil Jackson also saw Yang Mo's intention at this time, but he didn't take it seriously: "So he wanted to use fast to beat slow and disrupt our rhythm? After all, he was a little too young!"
Therefore, he just stretched out his hand and made a gesture, indicating that the team should continue to reduce the rhythm and remain unchanged in response to changes.
Phil Jackson is undoubtedly a famous coach of the generation. He has so many championship rings that he almost wears his entire hands. But he is not omniscient and omnipotent. At least now he underestimated Yang Mo's madness, and he made a wrong judgment.
.
Because Yang Mo didn't even think about disrupting the Lakers' rhythm. He just wanted to use crazy offense to defeat the Lakers... yes, beat the Lakers.
Phil Jackson didn't expect Yang Mo to be so courageous. He thought Yang Mo just wanted to use this lineup to disrupt his rhythm, and then use the previous stable lineup to finish the game. Therefore, he chose to let the team
Slow down the pace, slow down the speed.
As soon as he made this decision, it directly gave the Knicks time to breathe and recuperate, and at the same time, it also allowed his players to slowly drown in a slow-paced environment, like frogs being boiled to death in warm water.
When Fisher arrived at the frontcourt at a slow speed, Nate Robinson also got a full rest. When he came up, he was still struggling crazily. The four players inside also struggled into a ball. Only Cobio
Dom and the two were relatively relaxed and leisurely, and did not encounter hand-to-hand close defense.
Therefore, the natural attack was left in their hands.
Bang!
Kobe Bryant missed a mid-range back shot. Yang Mo immediately squeezed away Pau Gasol and passed the ball to Jordan Hill, who was supporting him. Hill grabbed the basketball and quickly swung it across the half court. Nick
Sri Lanka's three perimeter players had been waiting there for a long time. This time it was Gallinani who received the pass. He made a slight adjustment outside the three-point line and took a decisive shot facing the unguarded basket... Whoa!
Another three points!
The point difference was quickly recovered by six points, and only one minute and five seconds had elapsed in the second quarter.
This obviously broke everyone's expectations. They previously thought that the Knicks' lineup would only widen the point difference, but unexpectedly it created a miracle. However, they still believed that this miracle would not last long, because the Lakers are the Lakers after all.
They are the defending champions after all.
There are many people who think this way, including Lakers fans, including Kenny Smith, and even Phil Jackson. He always told Enwei that as long as the Lakers maintain their own rhythm, the Knicks' crazy style of play will eventually become self-defeating.
of.
In essence, this idea is not wrong. But... the Knicks tonight are not the Knicks before. The Knicks tonight have the distinct imprint of super-yang, and super-yang represents miracles.
It's madness, it's defeating all odds.
Therefore, in the next five minutes, the Lakers were still very persistent in playing a slow-paced game. But Yang Mo decisively changed from a simple game after Nate Robinson and Gallinani missed two three-pointers.
The defender joined the attacker's lineup. His speed played a huge role. He started running wild after picking up the rebound, and even once outran Jordan Hill's long pass.
Although Yang Mo's three-pointers also have a touch of passion, they are different from Nate Robinson's convulsive style and Gallinani's touch-based three-pointers. As long as he does not encounter any close defense, it is difficult to hit his three-pointers.
Missed the shot. The biggest advantage of the current style of play is that it uses speed to create enough openings. Therefore, his three-pointers kept falling into the Lakers' basket like raindrops.
At the seventh minute of the second quarter, Phil Jackson finally called a timeout. He felt that the team had to make changes. Because Yang Mo's three-point shooting felt like throwing a stone into the sea.
, the Lakers' basket cannot withstand his rain of three-pointers.
At this time, the Knicks had gone from being behind to leading by five points. Yang Mo alone contributed four three-pointers.
I have to say that this lineup created a miracle.
When the Lakers requested a timeout and the entire Knicks team walked to the bench, the fans at the scene once again collectively cheered for their crazy show.
Everyone felt treated like a hero, and no one was vain. This made them run very well, and the fatigue caused by running fast was also forgotten in the cheers.
The players received cheers like a hero's triumph on the court, but the t-n-t studio became a sea of joy for Charles Barkley alone.
"Who just said that the Lakers are sure to win? Please open your big watery eyes and take a closer look. Who is leading now?" Barkley tapped his fingers on the edge of the table and said extremely arrogantly: "Yes.
The Knicks are the Knicks led by super-yang. What’s wrong with the Lakers being the championship? We have super-yang! What’s wrong with the Lakers having four All-Stars? We have super-yang! What’s wrong with the Lakers having Phil Jackson in charge?
Yeah? We have super-yang! So what if the Lakers have brain-dead fans? We have Charles Barkley’s ass! Hahahahaha!”
When Charles Barkley would use parallel sentences to humiliate people, it can be seen how strong Kenny Smith's anger was. He wished he could smash Barkley's old teeth with a punch, but weighing his own strength, and
I feel that most of my punches will bring disaster to myself.
Therefore, he finally chose to remain silent, but gave all his expectations to Phil Jackson, hoping that he would come up with a way to stop the Knicks' crazy spread as soon as possible, but he could not let such a wave of losses take away the victory. Because...
It's about whether his tongue ends up meeting a dirty ass.
