Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 250 Christmas Tragedy!Kill the Lakers!Anthony hits 50+ again, setting a new scoring high!
In the second quarter, the two teams put on substitute lineups to compete.

In the first quarter, Lu Yong used Chandler and McGee to take turns to defend Howard. Green had not played for 1 minute. In the second quarter, he directly moved to the center position to face the rough Jordan Hill. There was no need to worry about being beaten. The other four It's Felton, JR Smith, Bazemore, Turkoglu.

When Chandler started, Lu Yong usually used McGee to explode with talent in the second quarter, but today against "Warcraft" Howard, both of them did their best. Widening the rotation can not only avoid injuries, but also Improving the speed of counterattack has always been Lu Yong's favorite rhythm.

It will be more difficult for Green to defend a strong and heavy tank in the fifth position, but if it is Jordan Hill, who has rough skills and weighs only 107 kilograms, he is fully capable of doing the job.

The most capable player on the Lakers' bench is former All-Star forward Antoine Jamison, who averaged 9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game this season and shot 36.1% from three-point range. It is very appropriate for the Lakers to sign him with a veteran's minimum salary.

The other four people are Nash, Meeks, Gasol, and "atmosphere team leader" Sacre.

Among them, Nash and Gasol took a period of rest in the first quarter, and brought substitutes to continue playing in the second quarter. The eight-man rotation is head coach D'Antoni's coaching style. He does not like to reuse newcomers.During this period, D'Antoni still had some conscience. Later, when he was coaching the Rockets, this guy was truly crazy. The seven-man rotation in the game was to fuck the main force to death, which finally exhausted Deng to death.

D'Antoni doesn't believe in second-year rookie Darius Morris, and would rather let veteran Nash play more than delegate power to young people.

Nash's explosive speed has become slower and slower in the past two years. He is not able to catch up quickly enough after encountering screens, and he cannot withstand close defense. He is often beaten by his opponents when he stays on the court.Felton is a strong point guard, which also led to Felton easily scoring in isolation after playing the pick-and-roll. He beat Nash twice in a row one-on-one, and Jamison on the wing had to give up Baez. Moore stepped forward to help defend.

When Jamison stood on the assist defense line, Bazemore was completely left open on the outside. He caught and shot the ball very efficiently, and gave the Lakers a blow from outside the three-point line.

When "Turkish Magician" Turkoglu gets the ball in the middle, the Knicks can also play high-post support. JR-Smith and Felton use the screen to cut in from the side. They are very good in catching jump shots or reverse running layups. They take advantage of the opportunity to make A wave of orgasm.

Three minutes later, the Knicks' second lineup teamed up to score a 3-13 run. The point difference continued to widen, and it was almost garbage time.

JR Smith scored 7 points in a row against Meeks, who has poor athletic talent. He is the number one contender for the best sixth man this season.Felton also performed well. He hit a three-pointer, cut inside and received a pass from Turkoglu for a layup. He scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

For the Lakers, only Pau Gasol caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll. The others took turns, adding up to 9-for-0, and the offensive efficiency was appalling.

With Kobe and Howard, the Lakers' offensive core inside and outside was gone. D'Antoni could only call a timeout to get the main players' coefficients back.

If Meeks can't make three-pointers on the offensive end, he will be of little use on the court. His touch was terrible today, and he made 4 of 0 three-pointers. He was a complete undercover leader.

After the substitutions, Kobe and Howard took turns playing singles to help the Lakers recover some of the points difference. However, the Knicks' offensive firepower was stronger and they still firmly suppressed the Lakers.

Two minutes later, D'Antoni replaced Nash and replaced him with another veteran, Chris Duhon, to strengthen perimeter defense.

As a point guard, Duhong has strong defensive ability, skilled pace, quick hands, sharp eyesight and diligent attitude. In his peak season, he was called "Little Glove" by the media, and he was the first outside barrier for the best defensive team in the Eastern Conference that year. .

Although the 30-year-old Duhong is slightly older, his individual defense is definitely better than Nash. D'Antoni is fed up with the Knicks' unreasonable offense and urgently needs an elite perimeter defense to relieve the pressure.

Although this adjustment reduced Deron Williams' offensive efficiency, the effect was not good, because Duhong's offensive level was very poor, and the positional battle was basically an empty target, and the threat was insufficient.

Lu Yong's goal is very clear, to deal with Kobe hard. He recognizes the scores of other Lakers players, but Kobe's personal data must not be better than Anthony.

Kobe had no chance to make a shot under the tight defense of the Knicks. If he wanted to score, he could only make strong shots against the defense, and his shooting percentage plummeted.

The most exciting goal in this section came from the cooperation between Deron and "Little Bully" Stoudemire. Deron played a pick-and-roll and went from the left to the basket, attracting double-teams and throwing the ball high into the sky, assisting Sri Lanka. Tadmire smashed Huashan with a one-handed dunk, and also knocked over Pau Gasol who stepped forward to help defend.

This is a dunk that can be selected into the top five goals. Deron and Stoudemire showed a tacit understanding.

Nash, who was sitting on the bench, was in a very complicated mood. Back then, he and Stoudemire had to cooperate on this kind of game, and it was normal to be selected into the top five. Now that the two have left the Suns to play on their own, his state has declined more seriously than Stoudemire. After a while, the little bully in another environment could still attack Huashan, but he is no longer the son of the wind who promoted the 7-second attack.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and led the applause. Stoudemire's domineering dunk reminded the fans of the past, and returned to the era when heroes competed for the title.

Before halftime, with Anthony hitting a jumper on his last attack, the Knicks led 78 to 46.

If Pau Gasol hadn't exploded and scored 8 points in a single quarter, the Lakers would have fallen even further behind at halftime, with the point difference going straight to 40 points.

Barkley said: "The halftime lead was 32 points. This was definitely something fans didn't expect before the Christmas game. The Lakers' performance tonight was not like the favorites at all. They were hung up by the Knicks throughout the game and had no power to fight back."

Kenny Smith smiled and said: "The Knicks shot well on three-pointers in this quarter. JR Smith, Turkoglu, and Bazemore all scored three-pointers. Their overall shooting rate today was over 50%. Completed the Christmas Day game against the Lakers."

In the second half, Lu Yong let all the other four main players except Anthony take a rest, leaving only Anthony to lead the substitutes. His teammates were Felton, Bazemore, Novak, and McGee.

Lu Yong replaced the main force early not to save face for the Lakers, but to let the Lakers take the opportunity to recover some points, so that Anthony can legitimately stay on the court to improve statistics.

Bazemore played to his strengths and struggled with Kobe on the defensive end to ensure that he could not score easily.

Bazemore struggled closely with the ball again and again, and finally completed a steal. He assisted Anthony on the fast break and scored a dunk with both hands, creating a wonderful fast break counterattack.

Kobe's unwillingness to admit defeat made him unwilling to give up the game early. In this quarter, he forced himself to start the offensive mode against the defense, throwing himself in the air again and again to create physical confrontation, and scored 10 points in a single quarter by causing damage.The only fly in the ointment is that Kobe's 10 points in a single quarter were obtained with 11 shots, which was not very efficient.

After three quarters, 104 to 69, the Knicks led by 35 points entering the final quarter.

安东尼这节继续发威，9投5中，三分球2中1，罚球3中2，得13分3篮板，他出场29分钟就拿下38分7篮板4助攻，数据碾压科比。

Kobe scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, good statistics, but his shooting percentage was less than 40%, showing no dominance.

贝兹莫尔这节打了11分钟，得到6分2篮板，全场共计10分4篮板2抢断，今晚发挥不错。

Trailing by 35 points, it will be difficult for the Lakers to complete a comeback. D'Antoni has begun to consider garbage time training and does not plan to continue struggling.

However, D'Antoni planned to give up the game, but Lu Yong did not want to replace Anthony early.In the last quarter, Anthony and Stoudemire continued to play, and Felton, JR Smith, and Bazemore continued to play on the outside.

Although the small lineup cannot protect the basket, it can speed up the counterattack, create more offensive rounds, and help Anthony score points.

From the moment Kobe shot wildly against double teams, the Lakers were destined to lose tonight.

In fact, it is not easy for Kobe to score 24 points in three quarters. After all, the Knicks' defense against him tonight was insane. The double-teams from time to time gave Kobe a headache. Most people would not dare to shoot.

Unfortunately, fans don't think so. Most people just want to believe in the data. Seeing that Anthony is better than Kobe in both scoring and shooting percentage, the tone of this game has come to an end.

As long as Anthony scores more points than Kobe, this is a game that will break Kobe. In competitive sports, the result is greater than the process. It is not surprising for fans to think this way.

Anthony still insisted on individual singles in this quarter, and when he was double-teamed, he would score the ball from the outside. He scored and assisted, and his statistics were gradually climbing up.

When the game lasted for more than four minutes, there was an interesting scene on the sidelines. Kobe and Howard actually got into an argument. They looked at each other from afar across their teammates, and their mouths squirmed up and down without knowing what they said. It must be the quintessence of China.

Head coach D'Antoni was caught in the middle and had to stand up to dissuade him. Losing in the Christmas game is not a big deal, but if a conflict breaks out within the team and happens to be photographed by the media, the news and public opinion the next day will be enough for him. The management There will be serious questions about his control over the dressing room and whether he is still qualified to serve as the team's coach.

What was unexpected was that after D'Antoni stood up to break up the fight, he not only failed to calm the anger of Kobe and Howard, but his attitude towards Kobe actually angered the unhappy monster.Throwing the towel in his hand heavily to the ground, Howard pointed at D'Antoni and sprayed it twice. The anger and frustration that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded at this moment.

Reporters on the sidelines immediately became energetic when they saw the internal strife breaking out on the Lakers bench. The cameras focused on Howard and started filming, recording this exciting moment.

It wasn't until Lakers assistant coach Mike Nasway dragged Howard toward the tunnel when the situation got out of control that the farce that broke out within the Lakers ended, satisfying the gossip hearts of the fans at the scene.

Lu Yong was sitting on the other side of the field and was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Howard and Kobe to openly scold each other. It was well known that the two of them didn't deal with each other in private, but to stage a passionate exchange of words during a Christmas game broadcast live across the United States, this was not surprising. It's just a matter between players.

The Lakers management will definitely punish this incident and impose a team suspension on Howard to give Kobe and Los Angeles fans an explanation.The reason for not banning Kobe is very simple. Even if the management has this idea, the fans do not agree with it. In addition, when Howard angrily criticized Kobe, coach D'Antoni also criticized him. Even if the management wants to turn a blind eye, There is no choice but to completely offend the Warcraft.

The reason for the conflict between the two is not difficult to guess. Kobe was in a bad mood after losing and complained about the performance of his teammates. Howard, who already had conflicts with Kobe, naturally felt that Kobe was connoting himself when he heard this. The two disagreed. There was a quarrel, and the bomb in the locker room was detonated directly, detonating in advance.

Howard lost today and lost his reputation. It no longer matters who is right or wrong in this matter. From the moment he openly angrily criticized team coach D'Antoni in the Christmas game, he became the loser of today's farce. , news about the Lakers’ internal strife will definitely hit the headlines tomorrow.

Once the matter was revealed by the media and posted online, the pressure from outside public opinion was enough to crush him, and there was no place for Howard in Los Angeles.

What is heartbreaking is that the Knicks fans at the scene are a group of lawless lunatics who are not afraid of trouble. When the Lakers assistant coach led Howard towards the tunnel, deafening boos erupted from all around, like a sharp knife. , stabbed hard into Howard's heart.

At this moment, Howard felt extremely regretful. He began to feel that joining the Lakers was the biggest mistake of his career. If he had known that this scene would happen, he would not have left the Magic in the first place. It was like a chicken flying egg to describe him.

Anthony stood on the court with the same confused face. He was stunned for a while before he realized that internal strife broke out on the Lakers bench. He shrugged his shoulders and showed that it had nothing to do with him.

Without the Lakers' main lineup, Anthony was unstoppable. He scored another 14 points in this quarter, setting a personal single-game scoring record for the second time this season.

他全场出战38分钟，28投18中，三分球9中4，罚球13中12，砍下52分9篮板7助攻1抢断，用一份准三双的数据闪耀麦迪逊广场花园。

Other Knicks players also performed well. "Little Bully" Stoudemire played 30 minutes and scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. He made 14 of 9 shots and 5 of 4 free throws. He was very efficient.

Deron Williams did not play again in the final quarter, but contributed 16 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in the three quarters, posting a double-double for the Nth time this season.

At the end, 137 to 92, the Knicks won by 45 points at home, breaking the largest point difference in a single game in the league this season.

"God! The Knicks staged a brutal massacre in the Christmas game. The Lakers became the unlucky ones of tonight's Christmas tragedy. They lost 45 points on the road. I am very curious how the media will evaluate this game tomorrow." Kenny - Smith gloated.

Barkley also had a smile on his face: "With a fight like this, the media will definitely not say good things about the Lakers, especially Howard. His reputation and reputation will most likely be affected. The Lakers cannot tolerate an irreconcilable conflict between him and the team spirit. It's possible that the Lakers management will send him away early without waiting until the offseason to test the free market."
