Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 118 Let You Run Ten Meters First!
The two sides knew each other well, and Li Mu directly copied the previous tactical homework.

The offense was handed over to O'Neal and Kobe, who defended, shrank the paint, and forced the Knicks to shoot away from the basket.

Not to mention, the tactics verified in the finals are very effective.

Don't ask, it's just that Fan Xingandi is very stubborn. He couldn't fight in the past, and he didn't want to change his tactics. He still believed in suffering.

I hope that I can use my fighting spirit to defeat the Lakers.

Of course, Van Gundy has something too.

For example, defending the counterfeit zone defense, grinding positions with the Lakers bit by bit.

Offensively, the first option for the Lakers is to hand it over to O'Neal.

If O'Neal has no chance, the second option is Kobe's off the ball and his serial offense.

If you don't have a chance yet, bet on the outside three-pointer.

With Big Ben and O'Neal sitting on the rebounds, plus Kobe, Billups and Bowen, they will also rush for rebounds.

Shooting three-pointers, the Lakers are full of confidence.

On the court, the Lakers slowly accumulated a score advantage.

After the first quarter, the score was 27 to 21, and the Lakers led the Knicks by 6 points.

In the second quarter, Li Mu made all the rotations, sending Fisher, Ginobili, Rice, Lewis and Horry.

Military training is indispensable for a moment.

Van Gundy kept the Golden Spears on the court and replaced Camby, Childs and Kurt Thomas in an eight-man rotation.

The rotation looks much stronger than the Lakers.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Alan Houston broke through Ginobili with the ball.

Houston is famous for his shooting and his off-ball, but his offense with the ball is not weak.

For a rookie like Ginobili, it is completely enough.

With a cross step, he entered the inside line, stopped suddenly and pulled out, and with a bang, he hit two points steadily.

Immediately afterwards, the madman Sprewell broke through Rice, made an emergency stop, took a step back, retreated beyond the three-point line, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer...

Swish-!
The strength of the golden double guns is so powerful.

There are breakthroughs, mid-range shots, off-the-ball, and three-pointers.

In addition to post backs, face-to-basket attacks are everything.

The outside line of the Lakers can't stop the impact at all.

Fortunately, the Lakers' offense is not weak.

The European step of the demon knife broke through sharply, breaking through the Knicks' defense line into a sieve.

Can shoot, pass, and burst, Ginobili's offensive firepower is also so powerful.

The outside firepower led by Rice, Lewis and Horry is equally impressive.

Six minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers still maintained a 6-point lead.

A ball!
enough!
After the main force rested, Li Mu replaced the main force again and added offensive firepower.

At this time, the lineup became Billups, Kobe, Rice, Big Ben, and O'Neal.

On the Knicks' side, the golden double guns came off the court, and the situation on the court fell to the Lakers' side again.

After the second quarter, the score was 53 to 44. The Lakers took a 9-point lead and returned to the locker room to rest.

The second half of the game started, and Li Mu continued to join the blacksmith team.

Van Gundy also started with 5 players. On defense, he forced the Lakers to shoot away from the basket, and the offense was handed over to the stars to solve the battle.

To put it bluntly, it is to fight for stars.

Just playing for the stars, Van Gundy is obviously the wrong idea.

The Lakers have O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the star of the Knicks, is still on fire.

Moreover, in the third quarter, finally, finally, the Lakers' three-point rain came.

Relying on a lot of blacksmithing attempts, the shot finally caught on.

The Knicks' false alliance was broken, forcing them to compete with the Lakers on offense.

That's it, it's deadly.

The Knicks coached by Van Gundy have always relied on defense to win.

Offensive, this is too difficult.

The Knicks' offense couldn't start the situation, but Kobe's offense without the ball was very embarrassing.

Disturbed the Knicks lineup, and then scored goals.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers have widened the point difference to 15 points.

On the commentary stage, Mike Breen shook his head and said, "The Lakers are sure to win this game.

According to Jeff Van Gundy's character, he will not risk offense at all, whether the Knicks lead or not.

They will all start with a solid defense.

attack?

What the hell is that?

Defense is offense. "

Sure enough, when the fourth quarter started, Van Gundy didn't panic at all, the rhythm was still grinding, and he wanted to wait for the Lakers to make mistakes.

Even if this kind of opportunity arises, the Knicks can't grasp the rebounds if they can't grab the Lakers.

Instead, the Lakers' outside offensive firepower continued.

Kobe and Billups hit three-pointers in a row, and the Knicks were killed if they didn't make a save. If they made a save, O'Neal became active again in the penalty area.

The Knicks can only take care of one thing and lose another, stretched.

hum~~
On the scoreboard, a buzzer sounded, and the game time was over.

With a score of 107 to 93, the Lakers had a 16-point advantage and beat the Knicks.

O'Neal beat Ewing, scored 35 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, continuing his peak performance.

Kobe Bryant also performed well with 23 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

Rice, Ginobili and Lewis all performed in double figures.

The Knicks, Houston and Sprewell, scored 51 points together, but still failed to change the end of the game.

……

January 2, Staples Center Arena.

The Lakers defeated the visiting Rockets with a 128-101, 27-point advantage.

After getting Brad Miller in the trade, the Rockets' record has not improved much, and it seems that they have made up their minds.

Starting 5 people, Francis, Mobley, Kenny Thomas, Brad Miller, Olajuwon.

Just looking at the starting lineup, you know that the Rockets just want to train and don't want to win.

Of course, I knew I couldn't win.

Only then did the two-year rookie in 98 and the two rookies in 99 be put into the starting lineup.

If it wasn't for O'Neal, it is estimated that Olajuwon would be put on the bench.

From the first quarter of the game, the Lakers played against the Rockets.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Mu also trained as much as possible.

After the first three quarters, the main teams have clocked out of get off work.

It's just that the Lakers' rotation lineup still makes the Rockets overwhelmed.

It can only swallow the ending of a big score and a disastrous defeat.

On April 2, at the Staples Center Arena.

The Lakers played back-to-back at home and ushered in a door-to-door challenge from their arch-enemy Celtics.

In this battle, Pierce came back and formed a striker twin star with Walker.

When the game started, Pierce singled out with his back, which made Bowen very uncomfortable.

Slowly turning around, stepping back and taking a jump shot, Bao Wenming had already defended to the extreme, covering Pierce's eyes with his big hand, but he was always able to hit the basketball accurately.

The point forward's style of play is a headache for the Lakers' defense.

Coupled with Walker's three-pointer tonight, the shooting feels good.

At the beginning of the game, the Celtics actually took the lead in the score.

However, the Lakers Iron Squad holds a 30-meter long knife, which can let the Green Army run more than ten meters first.

Soon, the Lakers caught up with the Celtics and swung a knife to kill the Celtics.

The strength gap between the two sides is too great. Even if Pierce has the experience of surviving 11 hits, in the end, he still failed to prevent the Lakers from crushing.

With a score of 121 to 90, the Lakers beat the Celtics by 31 points and ended the February schedule with 7 consecutive victories.
