Chapter 219 219. Strength is the last word

"Nick, you did a good job!" Kobe patted Nick Young on the shoulder in relief.

Nick Young tried to force a smile. He was covered in sweat and his jersey was soaked, but he was still happy to hear the praise from his favorite Kobe.

Everyone else in the third quarter of the Lakers is very easy. Liu Ren's single defense against Stoudemire is much easier than single defense against Griffin and James. As long as he is not allowed to score, Griffin and James can still pass the ball harder to deal with.

Only Nick Young struggled with Anthony throughout the quarter, and Anthony was much stronger than Nick Young in terms of strength. Nick Young played his life this time.

However, Nick Young was able to defend so hard, and the effect was not bad. It opened Liu Ren's eyes, and his impression of Nick Young was even better!This guy is really willing to give everything if he is happy with a team!

"Okay, Nick, take a good rest, we are going to make some changes now!" D'Antoni took out the tactical board.

"Just now we did a good job, taking advantage of the opponent's tactical flaws to play a very exciting quarter, and now the initiative is in our hands. But the opponent is not a fool, I believe you already know this, they will not give us the same way as before. Such a good opportunity, they will already make a change!" D'Antoni said seriously.

For D'Antoni's caution this time, the Lakers players agree very much. Generally speaking, although D'Antoni's ability is single, he is still a good coach. Without his offensive system, the team would not be able to play the league's first offense, and Ranked second in the record.

Seeing that the players are so serious, D'Antoni finally let go of the big stone in his heart. It's hard to say whether he can win, but at least he has a correct attitude.

"Although I can't predict any changes in the opponent's defense and offense, I am sure that they will not continue to make strange moves, and Zen Master is not on the scene today, so we will be played according to their style of play in the third quarter. They have no way to make changes, so they will not have new tricks, and the greatest possibility is that they will return to the traditional style of play." D'Antoni vowed.

Kobe and Gasol looked at D'Antoni in surprise at the same time, they didn't expect D'Antoni to have such awareness.

In fact, these two people have too much prejudice against D'Antoni. Last season, D'Antoni led such a good lineup of the Lakers so badly, and the scores in the eyes of the two were very low. He is outdated in legal concepts, and his only difference is his poor ability to respond on the spot, and he still has awareness and insight.

"So, we will use the most ferocious attack to deal with them next! We can't give the other party a chance to breathe!"

D'Antoni waved his hand and sent Marshall, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Gasol.

This lineup is clear, they want to bombard!

The Lakers only have two point guards who can play the most D'Antoni-style bombardment, and they are Nash and Marshall!The passing of the two is one of the best in the league.

The Knicks sent Felton, JR-Smith, Anthony, Stoudemire, Chandler.

Felton, Anthony, and Chandler almost played the first three quarters, and they decided to continue fighting in the fourth quarter, didn't they just play the entire game!It's not that I haven't played!

As for the defensive strategy given by Zen Master to put Kobe singles, the Knicks have already thrown it aside. They are sure that as long as they do that, the opponent will definitely replace Kobe immediately, and then use their defense to beat them, so they simply gave up this tactic.

The Knicks go first.

Felton passed the ball to the nerve knife JR-Smith. What he thought was that JR-Smith overshot the ball and waited for Anthony to run out to catch the ball. Unexpectedly, this guy shot a mid-range volley suddenly.

JR-Smith is the same as Nick Young. Whether he can score has nothing to do with the opponent's defense. It all depends on his touch.

Liu Ren was so impressed with JR-Smith, this guy was a crater after he came to the Knicks until he went to follow James!This guy has never shot more than 30.00% in the past two years with the Knicks, and he has taken a lot of shots. The Knicks' poor record this year has a lot to do with him!

The starting lineup led by Anthony can actually compete with other teams, at least not far behind, but when the rotation lineup JR-Smith came on the field, it suddenly collapsed.

Seeing JR-Smith's shot, Liu Ren immediately turned around and went to the basket to grab a rebound.

JR-Smith dragged down the Knicks this year, and this sudden shot decisively missed.

Liu Ren and Gasol pinched Chandler back and forth, and Antetokounmpo grabbed a defensive rebound.

Fight back!

The Lakers are five against four!
The four Knicks quickly returned to defense, and only JR-Smith was walking slowly.

It can be said that the biggest failure of the Knicks in this game was not that the Lakers saw through their tactics in the third quarter.
The Lakers played five against four, forcing the Knicks to shrink to the inside. Liu Ren, Gasol, Antetokounmpo, and Kobe all have strong inside scoring capabilities.

Marshall outside line is empty! 45-degree angle three-point push shot hit!

81 flats!
JR-Smith!
The Lakers have discovered this loophole, and decisively adopted a defensive strategy in the third quarter, catching others to death, and giving JR-Smith a chance to play singles.

After Felton dribbled the ball for halftime, he saw that the opponent used a tight-pressing tactic again, and released JR-Smith. It was Marshall, the famous big colander, who defended JR-Smith!Helpless, he could only pass the ball.

The effect of defending JR-Smith is the same, this guy is really bad this year!Marshall's eyes defended him and he didn't score!

湖人队连续快下反击，抓住这个机会在第四节打出一波16比3，短短3分钟把比分变为94比84领先尼克斯10分！迫使尼克斯叫暂停把JR-史密斯换下。

After JR-Smith left the field, Anthony began to cheer up, and began to single-play Liu Ren with the ball from beyond the three-point line, starting a one-vs-five mode.

At this time, when D'Antoni predicted that the two sides will really fight hard, everyone in the Knicks is working very hard, and there is no chance for the Lakers to open the score again. Anthony is in very good form now, and Liu Ren wants to curb his scoring. Can't do it either.

However, the Lakers could not defend against the Knicks by running and attacking the Knicks on the offensive end. Liu Ren and Kobe continued to score and attract double-teams.

It's the Lakers offense again, with more than 1 minute left in the game, the Lakers still maintain the 10-point difference sent by JR-Smith, and the suspense of the game is not much.
