After the Lakers' offense was blocked, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

After Allen Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball directly to Dayao.

After Dayao received the basketball in the low post, he directly chose to play from behind.

At this time, he was facing Karl Malone.

If it were against Shaquille O'Neal, Dayao might not choose to attack in low post singles.

Because Shaquille O'Neal's physique is so strong.

Although Yao has never gained weight, he can still score at the basket facing Shaquille O'Neal's defense with his excellent inside skills.

But in this way, Dayao's physical strength was really exhausted.

Moreover, it will also affect Dayao's offensive stability.

Not a very cost-effective choice.

It is more appropriate to use mid-range shots and support in the high post to enhance the Knicks' offensive firepower.

But when facing Karl Malone, if you don't play in the low post, it will be a waste of advantage!

The aging Karl Malone is not as strong as Shaquille O'Neal.

Also, his physical strength is not very good.

Tough singles in the low post can consume Karl Malone's physical strength and cause damage and scoring.

This is obviously a more suitable choice for Dayao.

Once, twice, three times.

After pushing Karl Malone into the basket, Dayao put his hands on the ball and turned around quickly.

Bend your legs and jump high.

Holding the ball with both hands, he smashed it towards the basket through Karl Malone.

"Ba

g!" a sound.

A two-handed dunk!

Knicks fans who were watching the game directly in front of the TV cheered collectively.

Such a domineering style of play!

Most importantly, it can inspire the passion in the hearts of fans!

However, compared to the smoothness of the Knicks' offense, the Lakers' offense was a bit bumpy.

After Gary Payton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he decided to attack on his own.

As a point guard, Gary Payton has a strong ability to read the game.

He could see that Karl Malone was having a hard time dealing with the inside combination of Yao and Zach Randolph.

Therefore, in order to ensure the team's offensive firepower and ensure that the team will not be overwhelmed by the Knicks in terms of defense and rebounding.

It is necessary for Karl Malone to take on more offensive tasks so that Karl Malone can maintain some physical condition as much as possible.

However, Gary Payton seems to have forgotten that he is no longer the same person he used to be.

When facing Allen Iverson's defense, Gary Payton started directly and wanted to break through from the right side.

But Allen Iverson moved faster.

He reached out and cut the basketball off Gary Payton's hand.

Then Allen Iverson took the ball and ran towards the frontcourt.

After rushing to the basket in the frontcourt, he held the ball with both hands and lifted it high.

He put the basketball in his right hand and threw it towards the basket.

"Ba

g!”

Another dunk!

The Knicks' bench only needed 1 block and 2 dunks to take the lead!

All of a sudden, Knicks fans became excited.

The starting lineup is half-matched.

The Knicks obviously have the advantage in the bench lineup.

From this point of view, the Knicks really have a good chance of winning this game!

The game goes on minute by minute.

The Knicks have always maintained extremely high offensive efficiency.

And he also did very well in defense and rebounding.

The Lakers' bench was having a rough time.

Gary Payton and Karl Malone obviously can't compete with the combination of Allen Iverson and Dayao.

Not to mention, the Knicks also have Zach Randolph on the bench.

It can be said that in terms of offensive firepower, defense and rebounding, the Knicks are overwhelming the Lakers.

When the game entered halftime, the score between the two teams had reached 60 to 53.

The Knicks lead by 7 points!

It only took one quarter of the game to score ten points more than the Lakers!

Before the game was over, Knicks fans couldn't help but start showing off on the Internet.

"Hahaha! I knew the Knicks wouldn't lose!"

"No way, no way?! No one really thinks that the Knicks can't beat the Lakers, right?!"

"The previous few games were just a matter of poor form. Now that the team's form is back, it's really not difficult for the Knicks to win!"

"Where are those Lakers fans?! Why aren't you squealing?!"

Seeing how arrogant the Knicks fans were, many Lakers fans couldn't help it.

"The game hasn't even ended yet, and some people think the result is already determined?!"

"You're so far ahead by so many points, why are you so noisy?!"

"Don't be anxious, take your time and watch, the Lakers will win the championship!"

"I gave you a few points lead, and you're just so rude?! Why are the Knicks fans so ungrateful?!"

However, no matter how quarrelsome the fans of the two teams are on the Internet.

The game on the field is still going on.

During the halftime break, Phil Jackson did not make any adjustments to the team's tactics.

This is not because his on-the-spot command ability is not outstanding enough.

Purely because, after he divided the team's lineup, it was not so easy to adjust for this game.

The physical strength of Gary Payton and Karl Malone is not enough for them to return to the starting lineup to play the game.

After all, if you want the two of them to return to the starting lineup, you need to let the two of them play on the court for at least ten consecutive minutes.

Or, let the starting lineup play in advance.

If you do this, you will inevitably sacrifice the physical strength of Gary Payton and Karl Malone.

Or, it might be sacrificing the physical strength of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

No matter what, it's not a good deal for the Lakers.

To put it bluntly, I am still older.

What's more, even with this adjustment, will it be able to deal with the Knicks?!

The players and coaches of the Lakers have not forgotten how they lost the first two games of this round of the finals!

Therefore, instead of making adjustments, it is better to let the players work hard.

Try to get Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to score a few more points against the Knicks' starting lineup.

Or maybe the two veterans, Gary Payton and Karl Malone, should try their best to prevent Allen Iverson and Dayao from widening the score gap too much.

only.

Some things are not what you want them to be.

No matter how hard the Lakers players work hard.
