Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 165 Christmas War ([-]) Begging for Collection
The New York Knicks were assisted by the team's star All-Star small forward Carmelo Anthony before halftime, and Steve Novak made his third three-pointer of the game.Steve Novak made three of three three-pointers in this quarter, showing his true qualities as a three-point killer.

The New York Knicks, who finished the last attack in the first half, left the Los Angeles Lakers with less than two seconds of attack time.The Los Angeles Lakers actually completed the attack in only [-] seconds, but left the New York Knicks with [-] seconds of attack time.

The incredible attack of the Los Angeles Lakers detonated the audience. The home team players on the bench jumped up from their seats in an instant, shaking the towels in their hands excitedly. Lin Fengzhe hit the basketball directly to the front court Pau Gasol's hands, and then Pau Gasol completed the drive with a layup.

At this time, the eyes of the fans are all focused on the big screen above the court, and the wonderful assist of the Los Angeles Lakers is being replayed on the screen.Lin Fengzhe threw the basketball forward with one hand.All five players on the New York Knicks were ahead of Pau Gasol.

Although Amare Stoudemire tried his best to take off and hope to stop this long-distance pass, the basketball still flew a few centimeters above his fingertips. Pau Gasol jumped up to get the ball, After landing, he turned around and came to the basket with one step, and put the ball into the basket with both hands, completing this perfect attack.

The New York Knicks' last drive was just a baseline serve, and the whistle blew at the end of the first half, and the Los Angeles Lakers entered the second half with a narrow one-point lead at 57 56.

"Oh! I'm still amazed by the Lakers' last attack just now. It's been a long time since I saw such a scene in the game! It's so exciting! It's like seeing Tracy McGrady with my own eyes. It feels like a miracle in 35 seconds and [-] minutes!" Jeff Van Gundy was so excited that he was a little incoherent, "Yes! This is a miracle! Although Derek Fisher once staged a goal in [-] seconds, but Lin Fengzhe and I'm even more excited about Pau Gasol's cooperation!"

"Okay, Jeff! You need to calm down now, although we all know that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, your favorite disciples at the time, are both on the Lakers." Mark Jackson couldn't stand Jeff Van Gundy's over-excited Roaring, he quickly interrupted Jeff Van Gundy, although he himself was secretly applauding the Lakers' amazing offense, but he was not as excited as Jeff Van Gundy, "Now you have to calm down, we should treat A small summary of the first half of the game, otherwise the boss will trouble us!"

"Oh! Damn it, I believe the boss will understand my mood at this time, now we should take a good look at the attack just now, instead of thinking about those damn conclusions!" Jeff Van Gundy said loudly, and then said to Looking at the camera, he said, "Boss! I know you are a good person, and you will definitely forgive me!"

Due to the Christmas game, the intermission time of tonight's game will be 5 minutes longer than usual.During the intermission, the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mitch Kupchak, once again came to the middle of the court with a microphone to host some small interactive activities and distribute some gifts.

The 10-minute interactive time brought the interest of the fans to a new level. Mitch Kupchak thought narcissistically in the middle of the court, "It seems that besides managing the team, I am also very interesting as a host." Talented!" If the fans at the scene knew what this old boy was thinking at this time, I don't know if he would be overwhelmed by the fans' Coke paper cups.

"Coach, can I not play for the first half of the game? I feel a little uncomfortable in my knee and it hurts badly." Paul Gasol frowned in his seat and said to head coach Mike Brown.Pau Gasol had already felt discomfort in his knees in the previous few games and had already worn knee pads. At that time, the situation seemed to be more serious today.

Head coach Mike Brown looked at Paul Gasol, who was being examined by the team doctor, and said, "Okay, we don't have a shortage of manpower yet, there is no need to risk injury and have to play. Antoine! Wait for halftime you Playing as the starting power forward." The latter sentence was addressed to Antawn Jamison.

Since Antwan Jamison joined the Los Angeles Lakers this season, his average playing time is not very much, only less than 10 minutes, not as good as Josh McRoberts' playing time, the reduction of playing time also makes his data Shrunk dramatically.Antawn Jamison played as a starter for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, averaging 33 minutes per game, contributing 17.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. This season's playing time is only three points last season One of them is less than, and the data is only 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

After Yao Ming heard that Pau Gasol asked the coach to reduce or even not play in the second half and got permission, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "I never asked for such a request when I was in the Houston Rockets. Even if I feel unwell, I will grit my teeth and implement the coach's arrangement. Maybe it would be better to express my thoughts directly. I can only say that I was too stupid at the beginning, and I hope the coach can take the initiative to let me rest more and arrange my playing time reasonably. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid." Thinking of the latter, Yao Ming smiled self-deprecatingly.

As for Antawn Jamison, it's another idea. Although he is a 36-year-old veteran, he still has enough strength, but he didn't get enough opportunities in the Lakers.Now that Paul Gasol has taken the initiative to ask for a rest, this is his opportunity. What he has to do now is to seize this opportunity to get the coach's approval, so as to get as much playing time as possible.

Before the start of the second half of the game, the players walked out of the locker room one after another, returned to the basketball court, and had a short shooting practice to find out their shooting touch. Following the referee's reminder, the second half of the game was about to start.

The first offense of the second half was initiated by the New York Knicks.

"Let's take a look at the starters in the second half of the game," said Mark Jackson. "The New York Knicks replaced Jason Kidd with Raymond Felton at point guard, and the Los Angeles Lakers Replace Pau Gasol with 36-year-old veteran Antawn Jamison at power forward."

"Paul Gasol is sitting on the sidelines and applying ice to his knees. Maybe there is something wrong with his body." The cameraman also cooperated to give Paul Gasol a close-up at this time. The ice pack on the knee stayed for a second. "However, Antawn Jamison is also an excellent player. As long as he is given a chance, he can still play very beautiful statistics. It's just that he didn't get much playing time with the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Let his The data is not very good. As a player, only after the game can he maintain a good competitive state. If only relying on team training, it is not a good way to maintain the state.” Obviously Jeff Van Gundy is very important to Antoine. Jamison is still very optimistic.

The first offense of the New York Knicks in the second half was initiated by Carmelo Anthony. After breaking through the defense that attracted the Lakers, the ball was passed to Amare Stoudemire. The latter feinted the ball and further involved the Lakers. Raymond Felton made an open three-pointer from behind the defense line to overtake the score.

Antawn Jamison set a pick-and-roll screen for Steve Nash and moved over the free throw line, and Steve Nash's return pass came into his hands at the right time.Maybe it was a little impatient, Antawn Jamison's first shot after coming on the court was a bit short, and the basketball bounced out of the front of the basket.

Although Li Yifeng, who was fighting for the rebound at the basket, did not grab a favorable position, he still took off the offensive rebound by virtue of his excellent physical condition.But just as he landed, the basketball in his hand was cut off by Tyson Chandler with a hand knife.

After the successful steal, Tyson Chandler stabilized his rhythm before passing the basketball to Raymond Felton, and he ran forward quickly.

Carmelo Anthony faced Lin Fengzhe again.Lin Fengzhe's defense still made Carmelo Anthony feel a lot of pressure.Carmelo Anthony faced Lin Fengzhe sideways, with his left arm in front of him, and he dribbled the ball with his right hand to prevent Lin Fengzhe from stealing the ball.Everyone else distanced themselves to create conditions for the two to play singles.

Carmelo Anthony dribbled the ball to control his rhythm, and suddenly pushed the basketball between Lin Fengzhe's legs, and he turned around and passed Lin Fengzhe.Carmelo Anthony, who passed Lin Fengzhe, immediately stretched out his left hand to grab the basketball that was sent from Lin Fengzhe's crotch just now, but only got a handful of air.

Carmelo Anthony looked back, Lin Fengzhe had already brought the basketball to the fast break by himself, and there was no defensive player in his half court.

Through the slow-motion playback, those who hadn't reacted just now understood how Lin Fengzhe broke Carmelo Anthony's basketball.When Carmelo Anthony hit the basketball from Lin Fengzhe's crotch, Lin Fengzhe grabbed the basketball into his own hands with a block with his right hand, and Carmelo Anthony was caught by another back turn This scene was not found.
