Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

"beep!"

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

After confirmation by the team doctor, Phil Jackson has already known Karl Malone's physical condition.

Next, it is unlikely that he will continue to play.

A 40-year-old body can no longer allow Karl Malone to play and contribute.

Otherwise, injury is just the best result.

This also means that the Lakers' advantage in the interior has disappeared.

The inside line of the Knicks will have some advantages.

The most important thing is!

The outside players of the Knicks can once again wantonly hit the inside to score!

This is definitely not a good thing for the Lakers!

The Knicks attack.

After Allen Iverson came to the front court with the ball, he habitually glanced inside.

Gary Payton, who was in charge of defending Allen Iverson, breathed a sigh of relief.

He is also somewhat used to Allen Iverson passing the basketball into the interior after dribbling the ball to the frontcourt.

But in the next second, Allen Iverson took his eyes back.

Then he picked up the speed directly and rushed to the right.

After reacting, Gary Payton hurriedly chased up to defend.

However, after this sudden relaxation, the experience of tensing up the nerves and body muscles again made the 35-year-old Gary Payton very uncomfortable.

Even he could feel that his legs seemed to be weak.

It was because of the momentary muscle tension that his body had some emergency reactions.

Plus Allen Iverson is exceptionally fast.

This made Gary Payton, who was chasing the defense, unable to catch up with Allen Iverson's speed.

However, Allen Iverson, who only needed two steps to pass Gary Payton, stopped suddenly.

The right hand pulls the basketball back.

Gary Payton, who couldn't react for a while, wanted to turn around and pounce back to defend.

But I found that I could no longer control my body.

"Plop." There was a sound.

fell directly to the ground.

Allen Iverson took a look at Gary Payton, then put his hands together and took off to shoot directly.

"Shh!"

A long two points scored.

The score gap was narrowed to 18 points left.

Gary Payton got up from the floor, rubbed his knees, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Don't accept it.

Turning heads, the Lakers attack.

After Karl Malone went off the court, the Lakers' dominance in the interior no longer existed.

No matter how strong O'Neal is.

But there is a Dayao who is not lost to him, plus Kurt Thomas.

It is impossible for the Knicks to suffer in the paint.

As for the rest of the Lakers power forward...  

Don't look at the large number, but except for Karl Malone, they can be ignored for the time being.

Let's not talk about Kurt Thomas, just let them knock against the Knicks' backup power forward.

Medvedenko: "??? When I am a weak chicken???"

Brian Cook: "Bah! Let me try if I have the ability!"

Horace Grant: "I'm old, but I'm not dead!"

Jamal Sampson: "..."

Zach Randolph: "Huh?! Do you have a problem?!"

Medvedenko, Brian Cook, Horace Grant, Jamal Sampson: "Don't dare..."

After losing the dominance inside, the Lakers' offense is not as smooth as before.

After Gary Payton dribbled to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball to the inside and handed it to O'Neal.

Facing Dayao's defense, O'Neal forced his way to the basket.

But under Kurt Thomas' timely double-team defense, he still failed to score the basketball.

Offensive and defensive transitions occurred.

After Allen Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he found that the person responsible for defending himself had changed from Gary Payton to Kobe.

After seeing this scene, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You don't have to think about why you changed people.

In desperation, he had to pass the basketball to Jose Calderon not far away.

When Gary Payton watched Allen Iverson pass the basketball to Jose Calderon, he was still confused.

This kind of offensive opportunity, Allen Iverson does not come by himself, nor does he pass the basketball inside to attack.

Instead pass the basketball to a rookie player? !

This is when you are easy to bully? !

Although I'm old, I'm not useless, okay?

Thinking of this, Gary Payton felt a surge of anger in his heart.

His eyes fixed on Jose Calderon in front of him.

I swear in my heart that I will give this rookie player a good look.

Then, Jose Calderon only tentatively made a triple-threat move after receiving the ball.

Then he shoots the ball directly.

The determination to shoot was so decisive that Gary Payton had no time to react.

"Shh!"

Three points.

All of a sudden, Gary Payton's face was not good-looking.

Allen Iverson hit you just now and you can't guard against it.

How can a rookie player score easily on his head? !

After feeling the eye attack from Kobe not far away, Gary Payton's face became even more gloomy.

After the Lakers struggled to score a goal with O'Neal, Allen Iverson once again passed the basketball to Jose Calderon.

This time, Gary Payton directly chose close defense.

He also said aggressively, "Boy, if you have the ability, you can vote for another try."

When Jose Calderon saw Gary Payton's face, he was immediately overjoyed.

Originally, the task given to him by his boss was to try his best to consume Gary Payton's physical strength with a breakthrough.

But just now, after seeing Gary Payton in a daze, he unconsciously shot a three-pointer directly.

Now I see that Gary Payton directly chooses to step forward and defend closely.

Doesn't this give yourself a chance to break through? !

Dribbling the ball with his right hand and taking a step back, Jose Calderon suddenly made a move.

Dribble the ball with both hands in front of you.

Dribbling the ball with his left hand, he took two steps towards the left.

Gary Payton was shocked when he saw this scene.

Good guy.

This rookie can not only shoot? !

Will it break through? !

While surprised in his heart, Gary Payton's body also responded.He caught up in time to defend.

But the next second.

Jose Calderon made a huge crossover and pulled the basketball back to his right hand.

Immediately after a sprint, he threw away Gary Payton and rushed directly to the inside.

Then came a throw.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

The basketball hits the backboard into the basket.

This time, Kobe was even more dissatisfied.

what happened? !

Let a rookie player make sudden shots? !

Are you okay? !

Feeling the attack in Kobe's eyes, Gary Payton felt like crying.

MD.

Just this breakthrough ability and shooting ability.

Is this an ordinary second-round pick? !

If you say he is a talented player in the lottery, he will believe it, okay?

At this time, Nash, who was watching the game at home, suddenly had a very familiar feeling in his heart after seeing this scene.

"This trick...... I seem to have been tricked!"
