The older superstars of the NBA

New York Knicks fans have no idea what the outside world is talking about at this time.

Especially DeMarcus Cousins, under the patient guidance of Zhao Feiyang, he temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction. After returning to the locker room, although he didn't talk to Dwight Howard again, he didn't show any signs of provoking trouble.

The second half came for both sides.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to field a lineup headed by LeBron James, but this time there are changes in the lineup.

Lonzo Ball, whose previous performance was average, was temporarily replaced, and the famous "LeBron James" Lance Stephenson was replaced.

He was in good condition when he came on the bench, scoring 9 points and 3 rebounds. He is obviously much more stable than the young Ball.

Kyle Kuzma was also replaced on the wing by Brandon Ingram.

For the Knicks, Jeremy Lin temporarily went up to organize the team's offense. Zhao Feiyang replaced Zach LaVine to score at the second position. Adrian continued at the third position, and Dwight Howard was replaced at the fifth position. Let DeAndre Jordan guard the wing.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

The Knicks serve.

Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball, but encountered interference from Rajon Rondo at halftime.

Two famous top players in the NBA faced each other at the top of the key.

One is from Harvard University, and the other is from the University of Kentucky, known as the "NBA Whampoa Military Academy." When Jeremy Lin held the ball and did not pass the ball out immediately, Zhao Feiyang already understood what he wanted to do.

"Jeremy."

Zhao Feiyang called Jeremy Lin and then made a gesture that only the team understood. The next second, he speeded up and rushed to Rondo to help Jeremy Lin pick and roll.

Jeremy Lin took advantage of the situation and dribbled the ball from the left side into the two zones.

When he approached the penalty area, Ingram rushed up to cover the defense immediately. The two faced each other, but Jeremy Lin still didn't dare to force the shot. He gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang, who had already rushed to the bottom corner.

boom.

Zhao Feiyang caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Swish.

The basketball fell steadily into the basket.

Lakers serve.

Rondo held the ball across half court, and after reaching the top of the arc, LeBron came up from the side. When he was about to catch the ball, Adrian was already on defense.

boom.

LeBron successfully caught the basketball.

Without any hesitation, he picked up the basketball and rushed towards the basket. After accelerating to the right side of the penalty area, LeBron was about to take action, and Jordan stepped up to double-team him with Adrian.

The sudden double-team interrupted LeBron's rhythm. He made a choice in a very short period of time and gave the ball to Ingram on the side.

Ingram held the ball and rushed to the basket. What awaited him was Howard's head-on block.

Snapped.

Howard slapped Ingram's dunk away.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Seeing the ball falling out, Zhao Feiyang took the lead and rushed forward to pick up the basketball. After getting the basketball, he immediately passed it to Jeremy Lin, who decisively chose to sprint with the ball.

Even though he no longer had the same speed as before, Jeremy Lin still tried his best to rush towards the half court.

As he approached the Lakers' basket, Rondo caught up from behind him and planned to block the shot. Jeremy Lin did not choose to back down this time. He used his body to block Rondo from getting close to him, and then made an underhand layup and threw the ball into the basket.

Swish.

The ball went in.

After the start of the third quarter, although LeBron continued to dominate the ball attack, Adrian and DeAndre Jordan had a great impact on his double-teaming.

When it was difficult to seize opportunities in close combat, LeBron began to try long-range shots from the outside.

His touch is pretty good, but it's a pity that there is a gap compared with Zhao Feiyang and others. When the Knicks also adopted the method of outside output, the Lakers could no longer withstand such pressure and continue to maintain the score.

The score difference widened from this.

The battle between the two sides became more and more one-sided.

LeBron was even more isolated in the final quarter.

Not only did the young players fail to help him share some of the pressure, they also made many unnecessary mistakes.

With only 3 minutes left in the game, the score difference between the two sides had widened to 15 points. This completely demoralized the Lakers, and even LeBron chose to take a rest at the last minute.

The moment he walked off the court, the fans in the Staples Center couldn't help but sigh. Many fans left the table one after another, as if to express their disappointment with the Lakers in this way.

beep.

The timer sounded at the end of the scene, and the score between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers was 130 to 110.

The Lakers lost by a full 20 points.

LeBron scored 39 points individually, the highest in the entire arena.

But besides him, the Lakers' second-highest scorer turned out to be Stephenson, who finally scored 16 points. Ranking third is Ingram, who scored 15 points.

All other players scored in double figures.

The worst thing was JaVale McGee in the paint. He was fighting against the Knicks' powerful inside players from beginning to end. It started with Porzingis, followed closely by Howard, and from time to time Jordan would switch, which made him frustrated from the beginning to the end of the game.

In the end, he only got 6 points and 4 rebounds.

Porzingis, who he defended, scored 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Howard, who came off the bench, also scored 14 points and 11 rebounds.

McGee's performance was disappointing in comparison.

For the Knicks, in addition to Porzingis and Howard scoring in double figures, the trio of Zhao Feiyang also all scored in double figures. He scored a team-high 27 points, LaVine scored 20 points, and Adrian scored 19 points.

On the night of their victory over the Lakers, the Knicks players took a rare post-game trip to a nightclub to unwind.

In the past, head coach Thomas rarely participated in these activities, and this time he went too.

The team's 8-game winning streak to start the season is obviously perfect and worthy of everyone's expectations. Especially after winning against a team with great potential like the Lakers, the Knicks' chances of winning seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

While everyone on the team went to celebrate, only one person was absent from the nightclub party.

This person is Cousins.

After the game, he returned to the hotel to rest. He planned to relax with his teammates, but he saw many comments against him on the Internet. Especially the Knicks fans' distrust of him made Cousins, who was already fragile and sensitive during this period, unable to hold back any longer!

"Damn it!"

"Why are these hateful guys blaming me? I have endured enough..."

"How many possessions did I sacrifice for the team to win the game? Didn't these guys see it? If that's the case, why should I sacrifice myself? If this damn victory has nothing to do with me, then why should I? To maintain it?”
