System: I am always awesome in the NBA

A day later, the G2 battle between the Knicks and the Lakers started again.

The whole of New York seemed to be on fire, and the air was filled with a frenzy.

Tourists visiting New York tonight saw a shocking scene:

The streets, subways, and squares are full of fans wearing Knicks No. 3 jerseys.

They flocked to Madison Square Garden from different corners of the city at the same time, as if it were a grand pilgrimage.

Many shops also joined the carnival, with eye-catching slogans posted on their windows:

"If the Knicks win tonight, we'll give you $50 off!"

"Knicks win, 8% off all games!"

"If you win this battle, you'll get $100 off your purchase!"

The tourists were stunned by the scenes.

They had never seen such a crazy scene, as if the whole city was boiling for a game.

"The enthusiasm of New York fans tonight is abnormally high!"

The tourists couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is there so much excitement tonight? Isn't it just a game?"

Someone stopped a fan wearing the No. 3 jersey and asked curiously.

"You don't understand this! If the Knicks sweep the Lakers 4-0 to win the championship, then tonight will be the last time we see the King of New York in the arena this season!"

The fan answered excitedly.

After hearing this, the tourists were shocked.

As a basketball player, I became the hero and king of a city. What a great treatment!

They looked up at Madison Square Garden.

The ancient stadium seemed like a temple, waiting for its king to return.

At the same time, the stadium was already full.

Lakers locker room.

The atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Kobe sat in the corner, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the effort.

The scene from the last game kept flashing back in his mind——

The incredible shots Lin Hao made in front of him, the cheers from the fans...

These scenes were like huge rocks pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Phil Jackson stood in front of the tactical board and tapped Lin Hao's name with the marker in his hand, making a "dong dong" sound.

"In this match, we need to increase the intensity of our defense against Lin Hao!"

"We can't let him do whatever he wants like he did in the last game. Every time he scores, it's a humiliation to us!"

The Zen Master's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes swept across the faces of every player.

"Don't worry, Phil."

"In this game, I will do everything I can to lock him down."

"Even if I only get 10 points, I'm going to make him feel the pain of being suppressed!"

Kobe suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

In the last game, Lin Hao scored 62 points despite his tight defense.

For him, a player who has been selected to the defensive team many times, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face and a shame that he will find difficult to swallow in his career.

"Yes, this is exactly what I want!"

The Zen master nodded.

"In every game from now on, I plan to focus on inside offense."

"I need you to focus most of your energy on defense. Can you do that?"

The Zen Master asked Kobe again.

His intentions are clear.

With Lin Hao, a freak who has won the DPOY title for two consecutive years, even if Kobe scores 30+ or ​​40+, his shooting percentage will be very poor.

In that case, I might as well focus on inside offense.

Kobe only needs to run without the ball on the outside and play a distraction role.

We have Paul and Lamar, and our inside line is so strong, why should we stick to the rules?

"no problem!"

Kobe nodded solemnly.

He knew very well that if he agreed to the Zen master's request, he would have to pay a heavy price.

First, the data will be ugly.

He is not like Lin Hao, who is a physical monster and can do both offense and defense.

Once he puts most of his energy into defense, he estimates that he may not score more than 20 points in the entire game.

The most important thing is that even if the Lakers win the championship, I am afraid that the FMVP will most likely not belong to him.
