Learning in the NBA can make you a god

After thinking for a long time, Brown decided how to solve the fact that Howard was beaten inside.

He has already made a decision in his mind. In the second quarter, he will let Howard come on early to reduce the time against Yao Ming. Neither the team's main center nor the substitute center can beat the opponent, so it is better to let the substitute center wear out Yao Ming.

Another method is to defend forward, cut off the connection between Yao Ming and the team's outside line, and at the same time compress the defense to prevent the opponent from easily breaking through to the inside line.

"Howard, let's go ahead. Of course, if at a critical moment, you can choose to foul, similarly, I will ask the substitute center to do the same thing!" Brown has high requirements for defense. He hopes that every player can defend seriously. .

"Coach, there is no problem!" Howard is just an optimist, but he is not stupid. How can he have such high achievements in the NBA because of something wrong with his brain.

The reason why things like this or that happened in the Lakers is because he changed the team and he did not accept his new identity. He didn't know that as long as Kobe was in the Lakers, he could only be the boss of this team.

If there is one person who may be surprised, it is Li Tian returning to the Lakers, but even so, Kobe is the spiritual totem of this generation of Zijin fans, and no one can replace him.

Howard just didn't understand this. Whether Bynum is strong or not, he is indeed not bad. On the one hand, he was traded because the team was not strong and needed it. On the other hand, he had a bad attitude and wanted to steal Kobe's position as the boss. So He will be abandoned.

If Kobe hadn't chosen to compromise, it is estimated that the Lakers still would not be able to reach the finals this season. Even with a healthy Paul, they would not be able to do it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Howard was scheduled to appear. D'Antoni also discovered this phenomenon. He immediately pulled Plumley and said, "Keep an eye on him. I don't want him to make a shot. Your foul is worthless!"

With just one sentence, Plumlee understood that the coach had only one purpose, and that was to prevent Howard from scoring happily!

"No problem!" He also knows that this is the finals. If Howard has an easy scoring opportunity within 1 minute, his finals will be hidden, except of course, garbage time.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the two teams, the Lakers players on the field included Paul, Sun Yue, Meeks, Jamison, and Howard; the Knicks lineup Beverley, Tony Allen, George, Vucevic, and Plumlee.

"This lineup is a good starting lineup. Of course, the center is still a bit weak!" Director Zhang said with a smile. With such a lineup, if you go to a slightly weaker team, all the players will start properly!

At the beginning, after only one minute of play, after the Knicks attacked twice, George keenly discovered that the Lakers had changed their offensive and defensive strategies.

D'Antoni just made a gesture, and George nodded immediately in response, and everything was said without saying anything.

Howard received a pass from Paul and was disrupted by Plumlee before he started attacking. The Lakers had to reorganize their offense.

Facing Beverley's defense, Paul played even harder. He struggled with Lowry for 9 minutes in the first quarter, and then with Beverley. He only rested for 1 minute before appearing again. He had not recovered his physical fitness at all.

With the help of Sun Yue's screen, Paul completed the ball and once again passed it to Howard who completed the key position under the basket.

Howard no longer had extra cool moves this time. Instead, the moment he caught the ball, he immediately stepped up and prepared for a dunk. He didn't even trust himself when it came to shooting.

At the same time, shooting will also give the opponent an opportunity to come over and defend.

"Get off here!" Plumlee wasn't a bad guy either, so he directly pulled Howard down with the ball.

"You shameless scoundrel, I'm going to kill you, a rookie!" Howard quit and broke out in an instant, about to start a fight with Plumlee.

Plumlee is very happy about this kind of thing. As long as they fight, no matter what the final result is, Howard will definitely be suspended, even if it is just for one game, his mission in the finals will be completed.

"Come on, hit me if you can!" This request was indeed a bit shameless. Howard was just eager to rush over and hit someone.

He saw a little dwarf and grabbed him, stopping his next move.

"Calm down, you shameless guy, it's impossible to anger Howard!" Paul scolded Plumlee while comforting Howard.

He really couldn't believe that this guy was just a rookie, and he actually played as dirty as him. It really subverted his thinking.

Plumlee has O'Neal's usual extra training, so this kind of operation is normal.

"Separate, separate, separate them all!" The referee stopped it in time. He didn't want to really start a fight. Stern was watching from the private room.

Stern did not expect that this season would develop like this. He has already begun to think that starting from next season, he must dismantle these teams with more superstars.

The reason why he agreed to trade Howard to the Lakers during the offseason was because he hoped to have a team that could snipe the Knicks, or to be precise, snipe Li Tian and continue to win the championship.

Having won five consecutive championships, it would be terrible to complete another six consecutive championships.

The referee continued to uphold the original decision and no new fouls were committed. He has seen this situation too many times.

Howard missed two free throws, and Plumlee's foul was a good deal, like chopping sand.

"Oh, Shaq, finally there is another center who is as bad at free throws as you. He is worthy of being a center trained by the Magic!" Barkley began to taunt O'Neal mercilessly, seizing the opportunity and never missing it.

"Damn guy, you are really not lovable at all!" O'Neal shot back.

Sun Yue received the pass. He could only rely on his height advantage to beat Teacher Tony in isolation and hit a jumper!
The mid-range shot helped the team get a chance to breathe. The point difference narrowed to 23 points at 29:6.

George's performance is very stable. He knows that the only Knicks on the bench who have stable scoring ability are him, Green and Vucevic. The scoring stability of the others is somewhat lacking, but their shooting percentage will not be bad when there is an open space.

While observing the opponent's defense, always maintain an offensive posture.

Accelerating to get rid of Meeks' defense, Sun Yue also immediately came from the side to help defend, because the Lakers compressed the defensive range of offense, creating space for Howard while also preventing opponents from killing him.

Looking back at the moon, the ball flew towards Teacher Tony who was open.

With no one guarding him, Teacher Tony's three-pointer is still worthy of belief. He hit the three-pointer steadily!
Teacher Tony and Beverley have been trained into standard 3D players in the past two seasons in the Knicks, and their defensive and three-point abilities have been strengthened to a certain extent.

Tony's three-pointer was like a heavy punch, hitting Brown's heart hard. He found that blindly compressing defense could not help the team.

But he must continue to experiment. He needs to dig out more secrets of the Knicks.

After a few rounds, he could no longer hold on and had to change his lineup again.

Both teams returned to their starting lineups.

Kobe used the cover of his teammates to get a three-point shot with difficulty, once again narrowing the point difference to less than 10 points.

The Lakers were still 35 points behind at 44:9. The situation on the court was very unfavorable for the Lakers!
Kobe struggled to support himself.

Looking back, Li Tian faced Kobe's defense, forced a step back and shot a three-pointer, and responded with one to Kobe.

"Nagging, my three-pointer is not bad!" This is provoking Kobe while naked, but the key is that he can't fight back.

Next, Kobe had just hit a mid-range shot, and Yao Ming singled out Howard in the paint, and his little hook hooked him properly.

"The next time is very critical. No matter which team cannot continue, it will easily cause problems!" Director Zhang is also very nervous at the moment. Although the point difference is 12 points, as long as one team cannot continue, The point difference will be widened.

"Whoa!" George hit a three-pointer again. Artest's steps were too slow and he couldn't follow George at all times.

"Damn it!" Artest was upset, but he didn't dare to do it because Li Tian was too scary.

A few minutes later, the Lakers finally had a fault. Paul was playing small but missed the shot due to the interference of the United Arab Emirates.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Knicks once again widened the point difference!

Li Tian and Yao Ming set up a high pick-and-roll, and Yao passed down. George used Yao Ming's screen to appear outside the three-point line. The basketball accurately fell into the hands of George who had just settled.

"Shua!" Three-pointer hit again!
"Damn it, I'll do it!" Kobe roared, asked Paul for the ball, and shot a three-pointer directly.

"Phew!" Brown finally felt relieved because this moment was too difficult.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!" After hitting the three-pointer, Kobe did not relax at all and quickly reminded his teammates to defend.

"Paul!" Li Tian called George just after halftime.

George, who was controlling the ball, was a little stunned as to what his boss was doing, but when he saw his gesture of asking for the ball, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately passed the ball back to his boss who had just passed half-time.

This is trust. Any Knicks player will choose to trust his boss.

Seeing Li Tian catch the ball, Kobe was going crazy. He already knew at this moment what this damn guy was going to do. This was obviously to show off his three-point ability and to defeat their self-confidence in advance.

After a slight adjustment, looking at Kobe's rushing defense, how could he give the defense a chance with his marksman skills.

"Whoa!" He hit a three-pointer in the half.

"God, the Lakers' game is over. The Knicks have expanded their attack range to the midfield, so their defense will definitely be stretched. It is really difficult to win." O'Neal can only feel sorry for the Lakers, Li Tian rarely uses this long three-pointer, but once he uses it, the team cannot resist it.

"Damn it, how dare he!" Brown was stunned.

With Li Tian hitting a long three-pointer, in the last 2 minutes of the first half, the Lakers did not stop a decent attack at all, and the point difference went directly to 15 points.

In the second half, Li Tian hit two three-pointers again at the beginning, and the Lakers were completely suppressed.

In G1 of the Finals, under the Knicks' ultra-long range, the Lakers lost the final suspense.

85:102 The Knicks won Game 1 of the series cleanly. Kobe didn't say a word and returned directly to the team's locker room.
