I really just want to be a role player

"Here comes the pair again!
This is a difficult problem for the Knicks on defense, they can't do it!
Anthony and Stoudemire focus on offense, Kidd focuses on organization, and the remaining Chandler and Felton are on defense, but the Lakers don't attack from their defense zones!
Even if I choose to attack, it will be a mismatched cooperation, and I really can’t stand it..."

Off the court, Mike Woodson didn't panic.

The Knicks definitely don’t understand defense, but can the Lakers understand it?
If the eldest brother doesn't talk to the second brother, the best they can do is hurt each other.

At this time, the Knicks were lagging behind because of the disadvantage of playing away games and failing to get into the state quickly.

The Lakers are in great shape at the beginning. After all, it is their home court and their basket, which makes sense!

On the court, Kidd controlled the ball in the frontcourt and continued to turn over Felton's cards.

"Continuing with the DDM tactics, Felton broke through with the ball and acted as a reckless man.

Paul then fought and then retreated.

Oh, Felton gained confidence, went in, pulled up and made a two-point pull-up jumper..."

This kind of unreasonable shot, Paul flew over as much as possible to block the shot, and the rest was to listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang-!
"No hit!
Confidence is a good thing, Felton also has strength, but not much.

Leaving Anthony and Stoudemire aside, these two superstars are not fighting. Felton actually chose to challenge the superstar Paul alone. He simply picked the wrong opponent..."

“The basketball was kept by Gasol, and my God, he actually dribbled the ball to speed up the counterattack.

Paul took the baton, changed direction and accelerated, avoiding Felton's pursuit, and quickly crossed the half court..."

At this time, Kobe and Su Bei, like two sharp blades, quickly moved forward.

Paul did his usual operation and turned over Su Bei's cards.

Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right, Su Bei caught the ball and took a step forward. Suddenly, he took the ball and raised his hand to try an unreasonable blind Jiba throw and chase three-point shot...

What a mess!

Anthony, who wanted to retreat to the penalty area, couldn't guess Su Bei's shot and could only stand and accept the test of Su Bei's chasing three-pointer.

Bang-dang-!
"Miss!
Subei is too wild!
If there is a steady wave, the Lakers will not only lead by 5 points..."

Trying or dying, Su Bei still didn't listen to Lu Xun's advice. No wonder he got stuck in traffic... No, he misfired.

Whoa-!
Although Su Bei made an unreasonable three-pointer, the home fans still applauded and cheered.

Basketball is not about calculation. If every ball is reasonable, the game will be much less interesting.

Su Bei's three-pointers have the ability to kill the game, and they should shoot whatever they want during counterattack.

If it hits, the next game will be much easier. The Knicks will most likely be defeated in the first quarter. Such a scene is still very nice to watch.

It's a pity that Su Bei didn't go in just now, he just stayed outside and did nothing.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Knicks attack.

It was Kidd who controlled the ball in the frontcourt. This time, he did not favor Felton alone. Instead, he chose to play pick-and-roll tactics with Anthony.

Hong Kong Zhen, whether Su Bei defends Anthony or Kobe switches to defend Anthony, the defensive intensity will not be much different. However, for a super scorer like Anthony, the short pick-and-roll screen space is likely to be able to seize the shot opportunity. .

Not even possible, but sure.

"While Kidd blocked Su Bei, he handed the damn basketball into Anthony's hands.

Oh, before Kobe could switch the defense in time, Anthony stepped on the three-point line, caught the ball and rose up, then raised his hand and made an ordinary catch-and-shoot jumper..."

Kobe's change of defense was not untimely. However, Anthony sensed the offensive space, quickly shot up, and even leaned back. Kobe flew over and covered Anthony's eyes. It seemed that the visual effect of the defense was the best, but in fact it was still slow. For half a beat, all I could hear was the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
6 to 9! !
"pretty!!

This is a complete display of Anthony's personal ability. He ignores the defense and can put the damn basketball into the basket with his shooting hand.

That's what superstars do on the court..."

In other words, the Knicks can compete for the top spot in the regular season, which is inseparable from Anthony's outstanding performance at the scoring level.

This season, Anthony is very popular, currently averaging 29 points per game, surpassing Durant's 28 points per game, and currently ranks first in the scoring list.

If Anthony continues this kind of firepower output, Durant's record of three consecutive scoring titles will be interrupted.

Looking back, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe, who is currently ranked No. 3 in scoring, did not reach for the ball, but still let Paul control the court.

"The lob was pulled to Gasol in the high post, and Paul chose to cut inside and go to the basket.

Gasol screened Paul and then passed the ball hand-to-hand.

Well, Gasol did everything. Instead of passing the ball, he faked a pass and turned around to break through. After attracting the Knicks' defensive attention, Gasol did not wave the ball by himself, but distributed the ball to the right side.

Beautiful support, Kobe cut in from the air to catch the ball, and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Cutting to the penalty area, Kobe took off, dunked with one hand, and blasted the basketball into the basket.

Ke's wife connected the line and easily dismantled the Knicks' defense. The Lakers' offensive scoring couldn't stop, it couldn't stop at all.

6 to 11! !
Off the court, Mike Brown folded his hands on his chest, feeling that the game was stable.

The Knicks and the Lakers, who are in full condition, are trying to attack. Are they looking for death?
On the court, Kidd controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to try to find Anthony for pick-and-roll tactics.

But Su Bei didn't like him, and kept pestering Anthony with death, making it impossible to catch the ball.

"The left side had no chance, Kidd moved to the right, Stoudemire pulled up to the high post, and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Kidd.

Beautiful, Kidd still didn't choose to take the shot himself. He was still the same guy who didn't attack. The basketball fell into Stoudemire's hands and he was misplaced against Kobe's switching defense.

He stood up from the ball, raised his hand and shot a two-point jump shot..."

There is no choice, a misplaced attack, Kobe actively jumps to block the shot, whether he can reach it or not, he can only bet: there are no bullets in your pistol.

Swish-!
Guessed wrongly, Stoudemire had bullets in his mid-range shot pistol.

8 to 11! !
Once I have an emergency, I can try a few more times!

The last time Kobe was called out, Stoudemire just stayed outside and worked hard, but the second time he finally did it and went in.This is the power of pick-and-roll tactics and misplaced attacks. It is really unstoppable!

When the Lakers attacked, Paul chose to copy the situation and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Gasol who was pulled up to the high post.

"Felton was blocked by Gasol, and Stoudemire actively switched to Paul.

Felton did not switch to guard Gasol and also rushed to Paul's side.

Oh, Paul went in, but chose to jump out, pass the ball with a back-up shot, and pass the damn basketball beyond the three-point line, and Gasol got the basketball.

What the hell?

He didn't guard Gasol within three meters. Did he not regard Gasol's three-point shot as alive?

Gasol is no threat from the three-point line!
Oh open!

What shape is this?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Gasol actually tried a three-point jumper..."

Yao Ming did it once upon a time!
Gasol can do it, and it makes sense.

The Knicks players were too lazy to make any defensive moves and went directly back to the basket, ready to grab rebounds after hitting the iron.

However, Gasol used his entire NBA career to count three-point goals on one hand to teach the Knicks how to behave.

Swish-!
"What the hell?
Gasol actually hit a three-pointer!

It's outrageous, but this is basketball. Once upon a time, Yao Ming could score three-pointers and Gasol could hit them. This is also reasonable..."

8 to 14! !
Let Gasol shoot a three-pointer, and he actually hit it.

The fans outside the stadium cheered and couldn't believe it.

The players on the Lakers bench were also excited.

On the court, the Knicks players were stunned for a while, then immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Such a small chance has actually been met by the Knicks. It's like hell.

Looking back, Kidd controlled the ball to the frontcourt. When he saw Anton blocking Su Bei with his butt and stretching his hand to ask for the ball, he immediately passed it over.

Anthony is so brave this season. He can really ignore tactics and play however he wants.

"Beyond the 70-degree three-point line on the left side, Anthony holds the ball and poses as an offensive three-threat.

Su Bei still moved in and did not regard Anthony's three-point shot as alive.

Oh, Anthony pulled out. He was also not used to the Lakers' defense. He raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper to test the Lakers' defense..."

Su Bei had almost no defensive reaction. After all, Anthony's three-point shooting was really not on the table.

However, it is still underestimated that Gasol's three-point shot just stimulated Anthony.

Gasol, who plays center, can shoot three-pointers inside. How can he, a leading scoring forward, not have three-pointers?

Bang-dang-!
"No hit!
Su Bei guessed correctly, Anthony's three points were indeed not alive, but dead.

Anthony is still too emotional, but this is Anton, in one word, casual.

Of course, Gasol has three-pointers, but you, who is ranked first in scoring, don’t have one. This comparison is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting..."

The rebound was picked off by Gasol and he immediately distributed the ball to Paul for advancement.

Gasol was in good form tonight and had a strong presence.

Seeing that Paul did not pass the ball to Kobe, he immediately pulled outside the three-point line and continued to cover Paul.

"Beautiful coordination, Felton was blocked, Paul easily broke through with the ball.

Oops, Felton actually didn't believe in evil and continued to ignore Gasol's offensive threat from outside the three-point line. He chose to continue to chase Paul, and together with Stoudemire, they flanked Paul.

boom--!
It's another back-up pass. Paul's first choice is to trust his teammates.

Gasol caught the ball again from outside the three-point line.

Will he take action this time?
Without taking a shot, Gasol chose to dribble to the right.

Oops, Su Bei rushed over here, using Gasol's screen to get rid of Kidd's defense, and received Gasol's hand-to-hand pass.

Su Bei was empty, he shot, and he shot a three-point jumper..."

Xiao Si was a little confused.

Felton was stunned.

Although Gasol had just scored a three-pointer, once again, they still did not regard Gasol's three-point shot as alive, but Su Bei could not. His three-point shot was fatal. .

It's a pity that it's impossible to rush out, and it's absolutely impossible to catch up. All we can do is listen to the gunfire.

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei's three-pointer hit the net.

"A very nice goal!
Su Bei's three-pointer is really accurate, but the main credit for this goal lies with Gasol.

His performance tonight was so good, and he fully displayed the axis of the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics.

It’s not surprising that the Knicks would fall behind..."

Screens, assists after screens, passing after dribbling with the ball, three-pointers after screens, assists on three-pointers after screens, and rebound protection. Gasol was everywhere tonight and performed like a superstar.

8 to 17! !
With Gasol and Su Bei, three-pointers rained down one after another, widening the point difference to 9 points and directly stopping the game.

After all, at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' offense was on full fire, and the Knicks had to take a break to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Basketball is the same as Landlords, stalling for time is sometimes useful.
