The older superstars of the NBA

LeBron James’s taunting made Andrew Wiggins very unhappy.

For the rest of the first quarter, Wiggins almost tried his best to interfere with LeBron. As long as LeBron gets the ball, even if there is no offense, Wiggins will go up and grab it, and he will also use spicy words to affect LeBron's mentality.

Such a move did not achieve satisfactory results.

LeBron made 7 of 6 shots in the face of Wiggins' interference, including a three-pointer, and scored a total of 16 points in this quarter.

In addition to LeBron's scoring, Anthony Davis, the big-browed guy in the paint, is the Lakers' best performer. He is very active in fighting for rebounds and constantly looks for suitable opportunities to take shots on the offensive end, successfully helping LeBron attract more defensive attention.

On the Knicks side, Zhao Feiyang is still in the strongest form.

He scored 9 out of 8 shots, including two three-pointers, helping the team score a total of 18 points.

In other positions, Adrian Ennis performed unexpectedly.

After he switched to the familiar fourth position, his offense at the basket became smoother than before.

Especially when facing Lakers players, he continued to move with flexible steps. With his superb skills at the basket, he made many shots and scored, successfully making up for the offensive problems inside.

beep.

Both sides entered the break after the first quarter.

The score was 36-37, with the Lakers temporarily leading by 1 point.

Fast forward to the second quarter.

To the surprise of the Knicks, the Lakers didn't make much adjustments to their lineup. The team's core players, Big Eyebrow Brother and LeBron, are still on the court.

"Are they planning a head-on test?"

Zhao Feiyang was looking forward to it.

"Coach, let me go!"

This time coach Norman Thomas did not allow it.

"No! Don't be anxious...This is also our best chance to test them!"

"We still have a second lineup! I want to see how different this lineup will be..."

Coach Norman replaced Jeremy Lin and Dennis Smith Jr. as substitutes, and put Dwight Howard and Tristan Thompson in the paint.

On the wing, he originally planned to let Adrian go up to fight, but Wiggins strongly insisted that he go up to defend LeBron alone.

Considering that Wiggins always avoids battles and rarely takes the initiative to fight them, Coach Norman believes this is a good training opportunity.

"Go! Andrew!"

"Hate is the best defensive motivation! But just don't hurt yourself..."

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

Lakers serve.

Rajon Rondo advanced with the ball, and after halftime the ball was handed over to LeBron. LeBron held the ball at the top of the arc and played singles, and Wiggins stepped up to interfere.

The two faced each other, and LeBron changed direction with the ball and rushed into the basket from the right side. Wiggins struggled to block, but he was quickly blocked by other Lakers players.

LeBron, who rushed to the basket, also continued his regular operation, leaping high and slamming the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.

His dunks were a little less explosive and lacked the lightness of his youth, but they still made fans feel terrified.

After all, LeBron is now an old man who is about to turn 35 and turn 36.

As a professional player, this age is considered quite old. If it weren't for LeBron's physical talent and the extreme self-discipline he has maintained over the years, he would have retired long ago at his age!

But the state he showed was not like that.

After the dunk was scored, the Knicks player under the basket immediately served the ball, and Howard threw the ball with a long pass. The basketball was given to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin accelerated with the ball and rushed through the half court with Dennis Jr.

The two tried to pass the ball on a fast break to avoid each other's interference and enter the basket. Jeremy Lin threw the ball into the air after entering the penalty area. Dennis Jr., who followed up from the right, also took the opportunity to jump up, intending to pass the ball before the opponent could pounce on him in time. Sent to the basket.

He successfully avoided the defensive player in front of him, but Dennis Jr. did not notice the person chasing behind him.

Brother Big Eyebrow leaped high amidst the exclamations of a group of fans, then rushed to Dennis and made a big shot.

Snapped.

Dennis Jr.'s layup was slapped onto the backboard.

Brother Nongmei also jumped up again in the shortest time, using his wingspan advantage to steal rebounds from the basket.

He didn't hesitate when he got the basketball. He glanced towards the half court and threw the ball decisively. As expected, the basketball flew into LeBron's hands. At this time, there was no one under the Knicks' basket, and only Wiggins was guarding LeBron.

Snapped.

LeBron received the ball and rushed directly towards the basket.

"Impossible! You can't even think of scoring this goal without me..."

Wiggins used all his strength to resist LeBron, and the two jumped up at the same time under the basket. Wiggins did his best to reach out to interfere, but at the last moment, LeBron just threw the basketball suddenly one second before landing. out.

Just like this, there was a time difference, and the basketball thrown by LeBron hit the basket steadily.

Swish.

The ball went in.

The Knicks continued to serve.

Facing the Lakers' strong counterattack, the Knicks chose to control the rhythm this time. Jeremy Lin took the ball across half the court and started to organize the offense after reaching the top of the arc.

Wiggins once again actively ran up to catch the ball.

Little Dennis also ran over.

The two of them asked Jeremy Lin for the ball at the same time, and Jeremy Lin was stunned.

"Jeremy, give me the ball!"

"Man, trust me, I know how to deal with LeBron..."

After hearing Wiggins shouting and LeBron not sticking to Wiggins, Jeremy Lin gave the ball to him considering it was easier for him to catch the ball.

After getting the ball, Wiggins became active again. Faced with LeBron's defensive interference, Wiggins did not rush to pull away, but dribbled the basketball to observe LeBron's status.

When LeBron's body weight shifted, Wiggins suddenly took the ball and rushed directly to the left. LeBron rushed to defend, and Wiggins took this opportunity to deliberately stop and step back. When LeBron chased after him and tried to jump to interfere, Wiggins made a feint.

LeBron had already jumped up, but when he noticed that Wiggins was just feinting, he immediately retracted his interfering hands. Wiggins showed a proud smile, and then jumped up decisively to take action.

Swish.

A mid-range shot hit the basket steadily.

Seeing Wiggins succeed again, LeBron didn't react much. He just shook his head helplessly, seemingly dissatisfied with his defensive performance.

The next second, the thick-browed brother under the basket served again.

This time it was another long pass. After it was given to LeBron, LeBron did not run but passed the ball to Rondo.

Rondo charged with the ball, and after reaching half court, it was handed to Danny Green. The latter caught the ball and jumped up to shoot, and successfully hit a three-pointer into the basket.
