Chapter 214 Leave the attack to me!
Fans of Staples Center only knew that Zhou Mubai would play in China tonight's game when the news was announced. When the news was announced, the Staples Center suddenly became riots.
Although the Lakers are now ahead of the big score, they are still a little panicked when they hear this name. They have not forgotten the blow Zhou Mubai has brought to them, the terrifying figure who uses pick-and-roll to disassemble one pick-and-roll after another.
The Lakers players' expressions were also a little unnatural, especially Bynum seemed a little uncomfortable.
They actually all knew that the only reason they won in the three games was because of Zhou Mubai's absence.
This emotion reached its climax when Zhou Mubai appeared, and Staples even had a brief loss of voice, and the scene was quite strange.
The incident happened suddenly, Phil Jackson didn't have much to do. In terms of the formation, he could only use a relatively better lineup, and Gasol and Bynum were abandoned again.
Then the effect of the small lineup is only relatively better. Zhou Mubai has already had a way to crack this kind of defense, that is, find someone other than Kobe and Artest to play singles, attract pincer attacks, and then pass the ball.
For the Knicks, the purpose was actually to achieve it, but after three games, the Knicks players were already defeated and it took time to achieve the previous effect immediately, so at the beginning, the Lakers gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the home team was still pressing the Knicks tightly, Lakers fans finally felt relieved. With the Knicks' current state, it would probably not be easy to win the game. The Lakers have already led three to one, and the error tolerance rate is very high. As long as they win one of them in three games, the Lakers will be the championship in the 2009-10 season.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks fell by eight points.
Chandler and others looked a little depressed, but Zhou Mubai was still full of confidence.
"Don't worry, our chances have come out, but we haven't made any shots. The eight-point difference is only three three-pointers. As long as our form comes back, the reversal will only take a few minutes."
Zhou Mubai comforted.
Having said that, it was not so easy to get the lost state back. Not only did it not equalize the score in the second quarter, but the Lakers also pulled the score to double digits. At the end of the half, the Knicks were 18 points behind.
Van Gundy sighed and said, "It's a pity. If Zhou Mubai hadn't been injured and missed three games, how could such a thing happen? It's not because Zhou Mubai is the reason for Zhou Mubai, but the other Knicks' players are out of shape. They seem to have no confidence. The division of the product has been pulled to this point. It will be difficult to recover it in the second half. What's more, the Knicks' morale is now low, and it's even more impossible to complete a miraculous reversal."
McBrien had a different view this time: "Didn't you always think that Zhou Mubai is a miracle person? Why don't you believe it anymore this time?"
Van Gundy Jr. shook his head: "He is also an individual, he is not a god. When the Knicks' teammates can't open up space for him, how can he explode under the defense of the entire Lakers team? Not to mention him, there is no such person in NBA history. Basketball is a team sport after all."
McBrien shook her head, but he supported Zhou Mubai: "Look at it again, I believe Zhou Mubai will not give up."
Zhou Mubai really won't give up. He didn't motivate his teammates or give speeches in the locker room because he knew that his teammates don't need these words now. They have fighting spirit, but the lack of state makes them powerful and have nowhere to release them.
So he found D'Antoni and said, "Appoint me the ball. I'll play without the ball. Please help me arrange all the tricks for me, and I'll solve the problem."
D'Antoni said in surprise: "But they will all defend you."
Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "Then we have to see if they can defend against it."
D'Antoni finally chose to believe it, or he had to believe it. The situation was so corrupt that he could only treat dead horses as living horses.
D'Antoni seized the time to arrange offensive tactics, which was actually simple. The ball followed Zhou Mubai's direction. Zhou Mubai ran there and let the ball go wherever he went. Anyway, he just gave the ball to Zhou Mubai.
The game is back.
The Lakers are so powerful, and the Knicks are so proud that they are going to die.
The morale of the Knicks players is not actually low, but frustrated. It is a bit complicated to say, but the overall meaning is that they are desperate, but this kind of desperate is desperate and trapped beasts fighting.
How to use this energy well? Zhou Mubai arranged to let them devote all their strength to defense. As for the offense - he will do it himself.
Knicks ball rights.
Zhou Mubai dribbled through the half, then handed the ball to Kevin Martin, turned around and got into the three-point line, slipped in from one side, and cut out with a fake move. Gallinari happened to appear to help him block Artest, blocking a little space for Zhou Mubai, which was really a little bit.
Kevin Martin immediately passed the ball. It was not because he passed the ball so well, but because he waited specifically for Zhou Mubai's running position. With all his attention, he could naturally convey it in time.
Zhou Mubai relied on the slightest space blocked by Garynalli and made a three-pointer directly at the three-point line. The orange basketball passed through Garynalli at 208cm, spinned quickly in the air, and then plunged into the basket.
The score difference is 15 points left!
Lakers' ball rights.
Kobe held the ball and wanted to get rid of Zhou Mubai through the pick-and-roll, but Zhou Mubai was like a maggot with bones, and could always stand in front of him. Kobe was not someone willing to give in. The more difficult it was, the more he wanted to score a goal.
He had already passed the ball in the half. He only scored 6 points in the first half. Victory was in sight, and he also wanted to play his own style, so Kobe used a difficult backward jump shot.
However, Zhou Mubai reacted too quickly and almost threw a big shot. Kobe could only increase the arc. Although he avoided the block, the ball hit the basket.
Chandler protected the rebound, Zhou Mubai went up to catch the ball and quickly whipped through the half. The Lakers' lineup had not yet fallen, but Arte and Fisher both came up to defend, and Zhou Mubai jumped up and shot from two steps away from the three-point line.
Going further in, you are surrounded by Artest and Fisher. When you are two steps away, although you seem to have not lost your position, you still have room to take action.
Three-pointers in the long distance!
The gap is close to 12 points!
Zhou Mubai scored two three-pointers as soon as he came up, which scared Phil Jackson. He didn't care about pretending to be a Zen master. If Zhou Mubai was still pretending to be arrogant, Zhou Mubai would teach him a lesson that he would never forget.
