System: I am always awesome in the NBA

The score was 25:22, and the Knicks took the lead again.

"This is definitely the most exciting opening duel I have ever seen!"

"Yellow Jesus and Black Mamba demonstrated with their strength what a top-level basketball competition is!"

Barkley jumped up from the commentary booth excitedly.

"It's only the first quarter and it's already so thrilling! If you watched the whole game, I doubt anyone's heart would be able to handle it."

Kenny Smith lamented.

At this moment, a close-up of Michael Jordan's face suddenly appeared on the big screen in the stadium.

He was surprised, with his mouth wide open. He obviously couldn't believe that Lin Hao could shoot such a long ball at such a critical moment.

There was a sudden commotion at Madison Square Garden.

The fans were whispering to each other and talking excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Black Jesus also came to the scene to watch the King of New York's game!

With the referee's crisp whistle, the second quarter of the game officially kicked off.

In the previous quarter, the exciting offensive battle feasted the eyes of the audience, but the style of this quarter was completely different.

The Lakers and Knicks players increased their defensive intensity from the start.

Players on both sides face numerous obstacles in every attack.

At this time, even Odom, who is prone to distraction, did not dare to slack off.

In the commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith were also shocked by the intense defensive atmosphere.

"The defensive intensity is so suffocating! It feels like I'm back in the NBA of the 80s and 90s."

"The game was like that back then too. Defense was everything, and every possession was fought for!"

Barkley's eyes widened, surprise written all over his face.

"That's right, Charles! This is the defensive intensity that should be played in the finals."

"I haven't seen such intensity in a long time!"

Kenny Smith nodded repeatedly.

Under such high-intensity defense, the shooting percentages of players on both sides dropped instantly.

At this time, Lin Hao's rebounding skills came in handy.

He seemed tireless, rushing to the basket again and again to compete with his opponents for rebounds.

"Protect the rebound! Be careful with your positioning!"

The Zen Master, who is always known for his calmness, was so anxious that he jumped up and down on the sidelines.

Only half of the quarter had passed, and Lin Hao had already grabbed 4 offensive rebounds.

Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were shocked by Lin Hao's fight for the rebound.

"MVP! MVP!"

"MVP! MVP!"

"MVP! MVP!"

They began to chant in unison.

When the first half ended, the score was 48:47.

林浩拿下了16分、11板、4助、3断、2帽的数据，成了全场最耀眼的存在。

"In this quarter, Lin Hao demonstrated with his actions what it means to be eager for victory and what it means to be a superstar."

In the studio built on site, Zhang Heli praised.

Lakers locker room.

"Listen, we can't let Lin Hao grab rebounds so easily anymore!"

"Paul, you need to be tougher in the paint and block Lin Hao's position!"

"Lamar, you have to pay more attention to his movement on the defensive end. If he shows signs of rushing for the rebound, go up and interfere with him immediately."

"If Paul hadn't been in such good form in the second quarter, we would have been trailing by double digits by now!"

Phil Jackson said worriedly.

Kobe remained silent and covered his head with a towel.

In the first half, he only scored 8 points and his shooting percentage was a pitiful 29%.

What a shame!

Odom foolishly stepped forward to comfort him:

"Kobe, don't be discouraged! Scoring 8 points under Lin's defense is pretty good!"

"He defended LeBron so well that he only scored 4 points..."

He couldn't say the next words.

Because the look Kobe gave him was chilling.

The break is over and the game resumes.

However, the situation on the field suddenly changed after this brief pause.
