I really just want to be a role player

As the buzzer sounded, Chandler easily helped the Knicks win the offensive ball.

Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt, and his first choice was to find Anthony.

Kidd, who is half a step away from being 40 years old, can be reused. Naturally, the Knicks want to replicate the magic victory of the Mavericks in 2011, or is he too old to take a bath?

Anthony can fill Nowitzki's role.

"Beyond the 70-degree three-point line on the left, Anthony caught the ball and faced Su Bei's death spiral.

Su Bei dealt with the continuous three-threat moves with ease, using a defensive strategy that did not treat his three-pointers as a living thing. Anthony's personality does not like passing the ball, so he has many fewer offensive options facing the basket.

Bang-!
Turned around and gave a butt, arched and pushed forward, this chic big butt, no matter how strong Subei's technology is, it can't stand up..."

We can only fight and retreat.

Su Bei kept trying to steal the ball from both sides to put pressure on Anthony.

Shaking his shoulders, turning around, Anthony raised his hand and shot a fadeaway two-point jumper.

As if he had predicted it, Su Bei quickly rushed over, covering Anthony's eyes, and then bet that there were no bullets in his pistol.

Bang-dang-!
You guessed it right, there really were no bullets in Anthony's pistol.

“Missed, but beautiful!!

Not only is the attack beautiful, but the defense is also very beautiful!

It can only be said that God is on the side of Su Bei, and Anthony's shot missed slightly...

Next, let's see how the Lakers' offense looks like?

Oh, Paul got the basketball and immediately rushed with the ball.

Kidd pressed hard, but when he failed to press hard, he immediately used a foul to interrupt, and he did a very good job..."

As soon as the game started, both sides showed the strength of the championship contending teams defensively.

Whether it's individual defense or the grasp of the rhythm on the court, they are all silently facing each other.

The Knicks have a pair of luxury insiders in Stoudemire and Chandler, so they naturally don't want the Lakers to speed up, especially Kidd is still old. Playing at a fast pace and attacking in multiple rounds is not a good thing for the Knicks.

In the position battle, Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately handed the damn basketball to Kobe to play.

"Hey, it's not Kidd who's guarding Kobe, but Anthony?
When Kidd was young, this was a reasonable choice, but does Kidd still have the physical ability to run now?

Sure enough, Su Bei moved..."

From the right three-point corner, Su Bei made an air cut and found Gasol to cover him, easily blocking Kidd's pursuit. Then, he came out from the top arc and immediately received the pass from Kobe, turned around, and lifted the ball. Raising his hand is a three-point pull-up jump shot...

Stoudemire rushed out to switch defense, but it was just a show. He followed out and didn't even jump. Do you really think that Su Bei's three-point shot is dead?

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei took a three-point shot and hit it accurately.

"pretty!!

This goal is entirely due to Su Bei's personal ability. Of course, it also shows the age of bullying Kidd and Stoudemire's defensive awareness and enthusiasm..."

It can only be said that the Knicks' idea of ​​replicating the 2011 Mavericks is a wonderful one.

But the reality is cruel. They are not a group of old boys and abandoned generals, fighting for the final dream of a championship.

This is the difference!
0 to 3! !
Subei used a three-pointer to give the Lakers the lead.

Looking back, Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt and saw that the Lakers were guarding man-to-man tactics with a defensive range of [-] million dots. He immediately turned over Felton's card.

"Felton took the ball. As one of the three outstanding point guards in 05, Felton faced Paul, immediately changed direction, and dribbled the ball like a reckless man.

With a breakthrough like a heavy guard, Paul could only fight and retreat. After attracting the Lakers' defense to shrink, he immediately released the basketball. Anthony rushed in to catch the ball, and he raised his hand to shoot a two-point catch-and-shoot jumper..."

It's not that Subei's defense is too weak, but that Anthony is too strong as a kaleidoscope offensive scorer and has too many offensive methods. He can play with the ball, occasionally cut without the ball, and shoot after receiving the ball.

Subei's defense had no time to react defensively.

Swish-!
"pretty!!

Anthony's catch-and-shoot is a beautiful shot!
The Knicks' team offense is equally beautiful! !

This assignment was copied quite well..."

In the 2011 Mavericks team, because Kidd couldn't break out, they used Barea or Terry at the same time as a raider and used DDM tactics.

Feinting to attack the inside and actually attacking the outside, giving full play to the Mavericks' jump shooting ability at the time.

This offensive tactic of 'I hit, I hit, I hide, I hit again...' can make the opponent's defense exhausted, and then be hit by the Mavericks' jump shot.

I have to say that the Knicks are already very similar to the Mavericks in terms of their offensive framework.

In the sudden shooting combination, the Lakers cannot protect the basket, so they will naturally focus on one thing and lose the other.

Off the court, Mike Brown is still troubled by the problem of inability inside, but at this point, we can only bet that the Lakers don't understand offense, and the Knicks don't even think about it.

On the court, the Lakers attack.

Paul controlled the ball and came to the court, but he still distributed the ball to Kobe and faced Anthony's defense.

"Facing Kobe, Anthony was very motivated to defend!

Oops, Su Bei's side moved again, and it was still an air cut. He continued to look for cover, and jumped out from the top arc again.

Beautiful, Kobe passed the ball to Su Bei again and raised the ball to shoot, but Anthony and Stoudemire quickly saved it.

A beautiful ground pass. Instead of shooting it himself, Su Bei passed the basketball into the paint.Kobe cut through the air after the ball, like two people kicking against a wall, breaking the Knicks' defense. Kobe received the ball in the paint, immediately jumped up, and was about to slam dunk toward the basket with one hand.

Chandler quickly rushed over to cover the basket, and Kobe dodged the block in the air. When his body fell, he changed from a one-handed dunk to a two-handed shot..."

Boom, swish—!
After the basketball hit the board, he got into the basket as if he had clear eyes.

When Kobe scored, he also lay on the floor and clenched his fists.

"A very nice goal!
There is no doubt that Kobe's physical athletic ability has declined, and he can barely attack the ball, but his ability to stay in the air and change his offensive ability in the air can only be achieved by Kobe..."

2 to 5! !
Outside the court, the home fans shouted "MVP! MVP!! MVP!!" Kobe conquered their eyes.

The Lakers bench also exploded, waving towels and jumping to their feet to cheer.

On the court, the Knicks attacked.

Anthony reached for the ball, but Kidd ignored him.

Instead, he passed the ball to Felton, who ran back and cut into the three-point line.

The DDM strategy has just been completed, so naturally we have to continue playing music and then dancing.

“Felton caught the ball on a cut!
Oh my God, I used the inertia to advance and retreat. After squeezing Paul away, I retreated to catch the ball and pulled out. I raised my hand and shot a two-point pull-up jumper. This was to test the Lakers' defense with a mid-range shot... …

Swish-!
Nice job! !
Felton and Paul are too familiar and want to prove themselves too much.

Of course, he did it, with one assist and one goal in the opening game, taking the lead against Paul..."

4 to 5! !
Outside the court, Mike Woodson rushed to the court to applaud, very satisfied with the current offense.

Under Kidd's control, the Knicks' offense was very organized.

The only thing that gave him a headache was defense.

But it's not his fault, it's a lineup problem and there's nothing he can do about it.

I can only let the bullets fly for a while longer!

On the court, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and instead of passing the ball to Kobe, he swung the damn basketball to Gasol who was pulled up high.

"Paul made an air cut. While Felton was blocked, Gasol also completed a hand-to-hand pass. Paul rushed up, too fast. Stoudemire couldn't keep up. Paul rushed to the end, and then , was shot..."

Boom, swish—!
Paul drove to the right basket, easily completed the rebound attack, and sent the damn basketball into the basket.

4 to 7! !
too difficult! !

It's so hard to defend against the Lakers.

Three-pointers + rushing to the basket, the Knicks clearly have a top rim protector like Chandler, but they still can't defend.

The advantage of the triangle offensive tactic in stretching out space is fully utilized.

The final finish is taken by the superstar again. Even if you are given a one-on-one defensive opportunity, you will not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the Knicks didn't panic.

Once upon a time, the Mavericks team in 2011 beat the Lakers, and it was a crushing situation.

Now the Knicks are copying the Mavericks' tactics. The advantage is on their side, so don't panic.

Kidd is in control!

"Anthony pulled away and moved to the left three-point corner. Stoudemire pulled out and looked for Kidd to start a pick-and-roll tactic. Stoudemire caught the ball and met Kobe in a misplaced position. He raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper..."

Kobe defended very actively, but he couldn't reach it and could only hear the gunshot.

Bang-dang-!
"Miss!
The opportunity came up, but Stoudemire's mid-range shot failed.

Oh, the Knicks' offense is not over yet.

Chandler had an obvious advantage under the basket. He grabbed the basketball in the frontcourt. After landing, he turned his back and pushed Gasol. When he saw Su Bei rushing over to attack, he immediately distributed the damn basketball to the left three-point corner. Anthony was empty, he took aim, he pulled up and shot..."

Su Bei turned around and threw himself to defend, but it was already too late.

If you can take care of protecting the basket inside, you can't take care of the artillery fire from the outside.

Fortunately, Su Bei did not panic. The problem was that he did not regard Anthony's three-point shot as alive at all.

You have no bullets in your pistol!
Bang-dang-!
"Miss!!

Anthony's three-pointer is still not stable.

The opportunity also came out, but the shot was in vain.

Kobe rushed in, took off the rebound, and did not continue to give the third offensive opportunity..."

"Kobe rushed up with the ball and counterattacked quickly. Kidd pressed him hard and immediately passed the ball to Paul and quickly rushed across the half court.

One-on-one chance, Paul faced Felton, stepped down and changed direction to meet Buddha, just like crossing the street in the early morning, passed Felton, Paul went to the basket in a one-stop manner, which was a one-on-one split dunk …”

Bang-dang-!
Paul counterattacked and scored.

In addition to Kobe and Su Bei, the Lakers are good counterattackers, Paul is also a sharp counterattacker, and he has a chance to hit anyone.

4 to 9! !
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' offense was full of firepower and they easily took a 5-point lead. The Knicks knew that compared with the 2011 Lakers, they were different!
