Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 508 Unpredictable
In the second game of the Finals between the Knicks and the Lakers, there was no magical performance in the last minute.

After both sides missed shots, there was only one last shot left.

The Knicks overtook the score before, and the Lakers had no choice but to foul.

Lowry got to the free throw line twice and missed the second time.

But it doesn't matter, because the Lakers' fast offense has missed.

The Lakers also rushed to grab an offensive rebound at the last moment, but neither James nor Kobe made a shot.

Obviously a few minutes ago the Lakers thought they were sure to win, but in the end they encountered a second loss.

After the game, Lakers coach Scott was also a little upset, "The Knicks performed better at the last moment. This is a team that is willing to work hard and do everything they can to win."

"We should have won it, but we blew it up. We have to learn from this and not let this happen again when we go back home."

Kobe also said: "We have to play our own game, we must focus on improving our own efficiency. And we must treat each round as the last one."

James said that he is willing to take responsibility for the loss.

Zhang Sixin said: "I saw the desire in the eyes of the players, so I did it to them, do everything."

"We felt very tricky in this game, but in the end we won the victory. We will work harder in the away game. I think we have better physical strength and we will continue to win."

Zhang Sixin looked like he wanted to increase the intensity again, but in fact he was a bit smoke bomb.

He hopes that the Lakers are ready for hand-to-hand combat, and he will shake the other side with a shot.

Although it is the finals, Zhang Sixin still dares to surprise.

This game made him determined that they will win in an easier way.

Continue to fight, they still have a relatively high hope of winning, but they may also overturn in the away game.

James and Kobe may still explode unreasonably.

Moreover, the conditions for Zhang Sixin's change are met. Jokic just completed a task not long ago, and his strength has improved again.Therefore, in the two-day away game, the Lakers were surprised to announce that the Knicks changed their starters.

The Knicks haven't changed their starting lineup for a whole season. Now that they are leading in the finals, they have changed their starting lineup. Everyone is shocked, and the Lakers are of course not prepared.

Jokic replaced Gobert in the starting lineup, and many media people immediately asked each other if Gobert was injured.Because of the previous game, Gobert was very successful in defending James inside.

Gobert and Antetokounmpo make it very difficult for the Lakers to stay in the penalty area.

Now that Gobert is not on, isn't James' chance coming.

Not just James, the Big Three of the Lakers are very good at killing inside.

The Lakers players are also full of confidence, and they must be caught off guard before the Knicks react.

However, after the game started, things went beyond everyone's imagination.

The performance of the Lakers can be said to be normal, but the Knicks broke out.

In the high pick-and-roll, Jokic responded in a high position, sent out consecutive assists, and he also hit a three-pointer.

The Knicks can shoot three-pointers from five positions at once, and many fans think of the original Timberwolves.

When the Lakers adjusted their defense in a panic, the Knicks told everyone that they were still different from the Timberwolves.Because Jokic is more versatile than Love, he can also play in the low post.

The Lakers, who had no inside line, were about to make up their minds to limit the Knicks to three-pointers, but Jokic hit two in the low post.

The combination of inside and outside, three-point crit, turned out to be the same lineup.

"What's going on here? What's going on with the Knicks lineup?"

"Prevent them, don't let them shoot easily!"

"This is impossible, how could the fat man on the bench be so strong."

The Lakers players are a little confused, and the fans are also confused.

"You can still play like this, the Knicks are too bold... really amazing!"

"It can't be a secret weapon, it's just reserved for the finals. Coach Zhang Sixin really doesn't give people a way out."

"I believe that it was an adjustment after the inside attack was not smooth. If it was a plan, then coach Zhang Sixin was too exaggerated."

"But Director Zhang is such an exaggeration, from taking the championship from the West to the East."

"Invincible, it's really a mercury-like attack, and it's already leading to double digits."

During the rotation period, Middleton and others came up and the Knicks continued to attack. The Lakers were so close to 20 points behind.

The offense of the Knicks this season is relatively normal. Their selling point has always been defense. Unexpectedly, the next big player came to the stage of the finals. The Lakers didn't know what to do.

At halftime, the Lakers' locker room was quiet.

They originally wanted to win a strong home game, but they didn't expect a dramatic change.

The game is already difficult to win, but the Lakers still have to make new arrangements during the intermission.

They have never targeted the Knicks' style of play. They used it occasionally during the Knicks' rotation before, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as it is now. Whether the fifth position is a core player or a role player's style of play is actually completely different.

Fortunately, as a strong team, they are familiar with all kinds of tactics.

The second half had to be adjusted forcibly, but I just don't know what the effect will be.

The Lakers players played anxiously, their hope of winning is already very slim.

However, what they wanted to vomit blood was that the Knicks switched back to the normal lineup in the second half, focusing on defense.

Yes, the Knicks rank first in the league in defense. They are now leading by double digits. Defense alone can stop the Lakers from winning.

There is no way, as the lagging side, the Lakers can only bite the bullet.

To be honest, the Lakers played well in the third quarter.

Although James and Kobe didn't hit a three-pointer, they both scored well and made a strong kill.

If the scores of the two teams are similar, their performance can be scored higher, but now the Lakers are behind, and they are still far behind. They just can't do it like this.

In the third quarter, there was no effect of trying their best. The Lakers players were a little discouraged.

Kobe made all kinds of dry pulls in the final quarter, and the efficiency was very low.

James shot fairly normal, but the hit rate is also low.

The Lakers returned to the Staples Center, a game full of confidence, and lost so aggrievedly.

Until then, they were still behind by double digits, and they were undoubtedly defeated.

Kobe was furious after the game: "I think we played like shit."

Their head coach Scott made an excuse: "I think we are tired... We all can't shoot the ball. The Knicks guys showed their nature. When you keep emphasizing defense, it shows that you are in trouble."

Zhang Sixin half-jokingly apologized to the media because he put smoke bombs before the game.

As a result, he changed his formation directly during the game and settled everything.
