(Sorry, the second chapter is late, there will be another chapter a little later. Book friends who can't wait can get up tomorrow to read it)

"Incredible, it's really incredible. The Lakers actually played evenly with the New York Knicks away, which is really incredible!"

When the Lakers and the New York Knicks played against Lin Han, the dunk that Collins considered one of the most exciting dunks in NBA history? At the end, the Los Angeles Lakers scored 24-31 after the first quarter. The Lakers were 7 points behind the New York Knicks away. This score seemed to be a very large score, but as long as you look at the expressions of the players on both sides after the first quarter and the atmosphere of the entire Madison Square at that time, you can know that although the New York Knicks led by 7 points at the end of the first quarter.

But in terms of momentum, the New York Knicks had no advantage at all. Even at the end of the first quarter, the team was still behind in momentum!

Even McHale could see that when Lin Han could have that incredible dunk ability and ending ability at the basket, even if the first quarter of the game was over, in fact, the game had not really begun!

So, whether it is a Lakers player, Lakers head coach Magic, Knicks player, and Knicks head coach Pat Riley, they all understand this very clearly. In this case, even if the New York Knicks really lead in the score, how many psychological advantages can this team have?

Not to mention psychological advantages, it would be better if psychological disadvantages do not appear. This team has almost had an instinctive fear of Lin Han. This guy seems to be their nemesis, and he will always break their already weak self-esteem in various ways!

Just like Oakley, who was extremely ruthlessly buckled by Lin Han in the first quarter, the New York Knicks butcher was almost in a daze when he ended up. When he sat on his bench, he was even buried under his white towel. He didn't dare to see anyone, or he couldn't look up at all!

As the NBA's All-Star insider, he played against Jordan back then, and now he assisted Ewing's strong insider. Although he has been a background board many times in his life, there is absolutely no such humiliation as today. He is being buckled, and it is really not a buckle. Many fans and players in the NBA like to treat Yan buckles as buckles. That's because there are too few real buckles in the NBA. They are ridden on their necks and ridden on their crotch like cattle and horses. As long as they think of this, Oakley feels that his whole head is a bit dizzy.

Even if he is a veteran of many battles, he cannot serve such a psychological shame because he knows very well that when he is ridden by Lin Han on his neck, that picture will become one of the most important pictures in NBA history, and will be passed down like Jordan's free throw dunk from the free throw line back then, and he will be terrified in previous years!

When Oakley is like this, what kind of scene will the entire Knicks be like? When the first quarter ended and the beginning of the second quarter, even when the New York Knicks, who may have the advantage in substitutes, was suppressed by the Lakers, the entire Madison Square was in an uproar, because these New York Knicks fans never thought that this game would eventually develop into this way. It would be fine if the substitutes, who should have a greater advantage, would lose. When the main players of both sides really played again, as the Knicks fans, of course, they hoped that the main players of the team could carry out an inhumane massacre of the Lakers like in the first quarter, but the fact was once again disappointing the Knicks fans.

When defending Lin Han in the first quarter, as a very outstanding combination of Oakley and Anthony Mason Jr., after playing again in the second quarter, Oakley could clearly give people a sense of absent-mindedness. The butcher should have risen quickly after being humiliated and recovered the humiliation. However, when Lin Han rushed to the basket again and again in the second quarter, especially in front of Oakley, Lin Han once again rode another inside player Charles Smith in the New York Knicks on his neck.

One time, the butcher of the New York Knicks saw Lin Han riding on Smith's neck, facing Lin Han's extremely fierce gaze, Oakley almost subconsciously took a step back, just like the little Anthony Mason who was scared by Lin Han in the finals last year. In addition, Starks, who had been played by Lin Han before, the entire New York gangster trio, the boss Starks, the veteran Oakley, and the young villain Anthony Mason, all of these three people were repaired by Lin Han!

If the love and killing between Jordan and the Bad Boys is a story about the NBA, then the strangling between Lin Han and the New York gangs is definitely a complete victory for Lin Han! And this story is definitely not a story for the New York Knicks!

In this case, when both sides ended the second quarter, the New York Knicks, who had originally led by 7 points after the first quarter, had only 3 points left at the end of the second quarter. The score between the two sides at the end of the half was 52-55, and the New York Knicks were only three points ahead. Isn’t this a even-match?

And when the first half ended, when the players from both sides came down from the court, there were almost huge boos sounds in Madison Square again. Of course, these boos may not be given to Lin Han and the Lakers!

After all, before the start of this game, I'm afraid that the New York fans at the scene would never have thought that their team would lead by only three points at the end of the half. You should know that the Hornets, who are weaker than them, have all killed the Lakers, let alone them!

Therefore, it would be strange if the scores and situations of both sides are now strange!

"Lin Han's impact on the basket in this game and the terrifying dunk made some problems in the New York Knicks' tactics. This is not just the suppression of the momentum brought by Lin Han's terrifying dunk. It can be seen that the New York Knicks are well prepared for this game, but sometimes when they are too prepared, they will lack real response. They thought about Lin Han's many possibilities in this game, but they never thought about what they should do if Lin Han can break through their shackles? Should they now slap Lin Han's breakthrough or let Lin Han pass? This is a problem!"

Pocket defense is effective for many players with full impact breakthroughs, because these players can see the possibility of breakthroughs. Only when the players who break through find that they can break through will they break in. When they break in, they will be fooled when they see themselves surrounded by a pocket. Therefore, pocket defense must deliberately let the players holding the ball see the possibility of breakthroughs. Therefore, such defense was basically not used against Jordan and Drexler in the past, because these guys can always use this kind of layup or dunk to put the ball into the basket when the opponent tightens his pockets. Such players cannot lock them at all.

Obviously, from the first half, Lin Han is now a rank of players like Jordan and Drexler. Lin Han can always put the basketball in his hand into the basket in an extremely violent way before the Knicks tightened their dunks.

But if the New York Knicks don't use such a defensive strategy, then will other Lakers players not care? If they feel bad, they can ignore it. Just like Malone in the finals, he can make a shot and shoot at will. Therefore, this kind of pocket defense has many disadvantages, but it is indeed a very good strategy to both defend the opponent's offense and pass. But now, because Lin Han once again exceeded the New York Knicks' expectations, he can't take into account both!

"So, in the second half, what the New York Knicks need to do is adjust their state. Their strength is still stronger than the Lakers. Perhaps the difficulties are short-term. As for the Lakers, although they are slowly gaining the dominance in momentum, they need to get the score back as soon as possible. Moreover, Ewing is still under too much pressure on them. If they want to win in this game, they must solve Ewing's problem!"

After McHale finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the technical statistics after the half-time end in his hand. In this game, Gorilla Ewing actually scored 22 points alone in the first half. For Ewing, although his abilities are first-class, in recent years, it is extremely rare to score more than 20 points after the half-time.

This also shows how weak the Lakers' inside defense is. As long as the Lakers cannot solve Ewing's point, it will be difficult for them to really win this game, because the New York Knicks always have a player they cannot limit, and in this case, it is almost impossible to win.

Of course, in addition to Ewing, Lin Han's data in the first half of this game was also surprising enough. This offensive desire was extremely strong last season. Lin Han, who scored more than 40 points in the first four games of this season, only made 6 of 7 shots in the whole half, most of which were dunks, and only scored 15 points after the half. Of course, for most NBA players, it was already very good to score 15 points after the half, but for players like Lin Han and Jordan, 15 points in the half would definitely not be qualified!

However, Lin Han only scored 15 points in the first half of the game, but as long as he saw the string of data behind this guy, everyone would be shocked. 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, just one half, Lin Han will have to complete a triple-double again. For players of Lin Han's level, as long as they have enough ball rights, triple-double is not a big problem. The key is that Lin Han can win the team while having the possibility of winning the triple-double. This is not that simple!

"I really didn't expect this game to be like this."

Looking at the two teams who disappeared into the player channel, Collins smiled and sighed again. Before this game, almost everyone was saying that the Knicks would win and the Lakers would lose. But now it seems that this conclusion is still a bit too early. However, such development is not very good for the New York Knicks fans on site, but it is very good for the ABC!

.........

.........

"Nick, don't hesitate, you're playing on the court too hesitant. You need to be more selfish, selfish, do you understand!"

In Collins and McHale's first half game, in Collins and McHale's opinion, the Lakers played better, but in the Lakers' locker room, the team was not very satisfied with their performance in the first half, especially Lin Han, the boss of this team.

After the team entered the locker room, Lin Han, the boss of the team, directly grabbed Van Eksel's shoulder and shouted at his friend. Although his words were very intense, the Lakers head coach Magic, assistant coach Adelman and Huby Brown had no intention of stopping them, and the other Lakers players did not intend to dissuade Lin Han.

Because everyone knows that although Lin Han speaks fiercely, his relationship with Van Eksel is indeed very good, and Van Eksel does not play much like him after the start of this season.

It is understandable that hesitation with Lin Han and Dominic Wilkins when starting. Both of them are ball-right black holes. Van Eksel, who has no ball-right, is indeed greatly reduced in power. Although his three-pointers are very powerful, his off-ball run is not very strong. Letting him be a player who catches and shoots is not a good thing in itself, because he is too short and doesn't like running very much. Standing there, as long as there is a player who is a little taller than him, his catch is difficult, let alone catch the ball.

When Lin Han served as the team's point guard, Van Eksel came to the bench and was hoped to be the team's sixth man. However, the final result was that Van Eksel was extremely hesitant when he arrived on the bench, which made the team speechless. If he was to start, he had no ball rights and was very confused. This was the case, but when he was in the substitute, the ball rights were in his hands, and he was still extremely confused and hesitant.

If he had been more decisive in the first half, the Lakers might not have fallen behind at the end of the half. But facing Lin Han's motivational roar, this friend who had a very good relationship with Lin Han seemed to have not heard it, covering his head tightly with his towel, as if he was escaping something. Looking at Van Eksel in this way, Lin Han finally sighed and shook his head, and sat down next to Van Eksel.

"Nick, I don't know what you are worried about, but I'm sure the things you are worried about must be redundant."

When Lin Han sat down next to Van Eksel, he said something with a sigh. After hearing Lin Han's words, Van Eksel, who had been covering his head with a towel, moved slightly. However, soon, without Lin Han even noticed, the Lakers' defender returned to calm.

As the Lakers who played better in the half-time, they are not very satisfied with the half-time score, which is very easy to understand. After all, they seem to perform better, but they are behind in the score. As long as they fall behind in the score, everything is meaningless.

On the other side, although the Knicks is leading in the score, they are also dissatisfied with their performance, or they are not satisfied with their only lead by a little.

In this case, Ewing, who is also the leader of the team, almost did the same thing as Lin Han in the locker room, that is, he also made very harsh criticisms of several players whose team performed very abnormally in the first half, such as Oakley, who was a little ashamed of Lin Han, and Charles Smith, who also became a little dazed after being buckled by Lin Han.

Charles Smith was originally a player who was prone to losing streak. In the Eastern Conference Finals with the Bulls, it was because of his loss that the Knicks were destroyed by the Bulls. Therefore, after this guy was detained by Lin Han, no one would be surprised. The key is that a tough guy like Oakley would definitely not be so time-honored.

But the final result is very disappointing, or it is very disappointing to the Knicks.

"Charles, if you really just want to be a coward and pretend that I have never said it, so what if you are dunked by someone? Which heroic warrior has no scars left by fighting? As long as we can win this game, no one will mention this matter! Besides, it's just a dunk, no matter what kind of dunk is, it's just a dunk, and you don't need to care about these at all!"

Just like Lin Han gave Van Eksel psychological massage, Ewing kept inspiring Oakley in the Knicks locker room. No matter how much he was compared with Van Eksel, Oakley seemed to be more obedient. Although his face could still see a deep depression, the Knicks player still nodded at the end, and Pat Riley saw this scene.

As long as Oakley returns to normal, there is no need to change the Knicks' defense. In fact, although Lin Han's ability to finish at the basket is indeed beyond the Knicks' expectations, Lin Han is not Jordan after all, and his way to finish at the basket is still too direct. As long as Oakley has the courage to stand in front of Lin Han again, what can I do if Lin Han rides a few times? With Oakley's hardness, even if Lin Han can ride a few times, he may be likely to be defended by Oakley several times. After all, Oakley is an All-Star defensive player.

"Guys, although there were some unsatisfactory places in this game, our goal in this game is still to win the game. We must win this game, do you understand!"

"clear!"

When the halftime break was about to end, looking at the Knicks player who had returned to normal at this time, Pat Riley glanced at all his players' faces and nodded fiercely.

For the Knicks, this game only requires victory, and no one can bear the consequences of failure, including him and Ewing.

Because the New York Knicks don't need so many public enemies, and they are also public enemies that keep bringing humiliation to them!

......

......

"I wonder what changes will happen to the Knicks after the start of the second half of the game, and how will Pat Riley deal with the strength of Lin Han's game?"

“It depends on how the New York Knicks players are in the beginning of the game again.”

When the second half started, when the starters of both sides stood on the court again, the entire Madison Square was still booed. As the side who failed to jump the ball in the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers had the right to serve in the third quarter, so the Lakers began their first attack in the second half. When Lakers center Antonio Harvey handed the baseline ball to Lin Han as usual, and Lin Han also dribbled the ball normally and pushed it to the half. Before Lin Han could come to his own attack area, Lin Han's mortal enemy, Anthony Mason, almost hated Lin Han, but had a little fear of Lin Han, and then posted it up.

Although he is very afraid of Lin Han, it has to be said that the Knicks' most ruthless player is indeed ruthless. Even after being removed by Lin Han again and again and again, the Knicks villain has never given up his position and position. As an opponent, Anthony Mason is very annoying, and Lin Han also hates him very much. There is no doubt that although Anthony Mason is difficult to defend Lin Han against Lin Han alone, for NBA players, whether a defensive player can defend his opponent is not an absolute consideration, especially in the face of players like Jordan and Lin Han who are almost indefensive, consuming the opponent is the most important thing.

There is no doubt that even though Lin Han can defeat Mason many times, the energy consumed by defeating Mason is definitely not negligible. This guy is a famous melee fighter in the league.

So, for Lin Han, he deliberately scared Oakley and deliberately scared Oakley in the first half, but he never threatened or scared this guy, because this guy would not accept Lin Han's intimidation and scare. According to general meaning, Oakley was born with a noble family. Although he was a butcher, he was a lottery rookie. He was one of Jordan's most important assistants back then and also joined the All-Star. He was more or less a wrist. Even if such a player is a villain or a butcher, they still have their own pride in their hearts. Therefore, although such a player is a black player, he is also fragile.

This is the tip that Stockton taught Lin Han that year. When Stockton said this, his face was very complicated and his tone was extremely emotional. Lin Han, who had never known the NBA at all, did not know why Stockton said this expression was like this when he said this. When Lin Han became more and more familiar with the NBA and became more and more knowledgeable about Stockton, Lin Han realized that the person mentioned by this super point guard was himself. The more proud the person, the more fragile the person. As for who can make Stockton, who is so mean, the more emotional, it is naturally the small point guard of the Pistons.

Therefore, in the NBA, the truly vicious people do not look at the surface, but also need to see whether they still retain their own pride. Those players who have no pride and no faith are the most terrifying, and they are also players who can do everything, such as Anthony Mason Jr. His job is to fight. If he doesn't fight, he will not be able to survive in the NBA. So no matter how afraid his instinct is, he still chooses to fight.

Therefore, when Lin Han faced Mason, who was still very motivated by fighting spirit, Lin Han was not surprised. This guy was just a young strongman who could not be beaten. Lin Han never thought about how to do to him. The key was Oakley. After Lin Han got rid of Mason, this guy actually stood in front of Lin Han again and restored the defensive level in the first half of the first quarter, which surprised Lin Han a little.

Of course, Lin Han was a little surprised at this time, and Pat Riley on the sidelines and Ewing on the court were absolutely nodding in a dark way.

As long as Oakley can get hard, the New York Knicks' chance of losing in this game will be very small, or even impossible!

"It looks like the New York Knicks have returned to normal after the suspension ends!"

When the third quarter began, Collins and McHale thought that the New York Knicks would encounter some trouble in the second half and even needed to change the formation. However, after the third quarter began, the two commentators were also a little surprised to see the New York Knicks who had regained their fighting spirit again.

Of course, although the New York Knicks have recovered their fighting spirit, the team's inside advantage over the Lakers is still extremely huge, but it is obvious that it is absolutely impossible for this team to maintain an absolute advantage against the Lakers like the beginning of the first quarter. At least, this team is not so easy to deal with in this game against Lin Han's breakthrough and passer.

So, after the third quarter, these two teams, which were originally predicted to be very different before the game, were once again at an extremely subtle balance point after the third quarter. Although the Lakers could not control the Knicks' inside line, the Knicks seemed to be unable to stop the Lakers' outside offense.

Under such circumstances, the situation on the court of the two teams became anxious again!

"A very outstanding offensive choice. Ewing's personal offense was very decisive in this game, with almost no hesitation. In recent years, it has been rare to see such an aggressive Ewing!"

"Advanced quickly, the New York Knicks still could not completely block Lin Han's breakthrough. When Lin Han rushed up, he was like a small tank, and he could not stop it at all! A beautiful dunk, Oakley's defense was very tough, but Lin Han still completed the dunk after knocking Oakley!"

The Lakers and the Knicks played almost equally in the first half. For the two teams, the most important thing in this game is naturally the third quarter. Although it cannot be said to be a decisive battle, both teams are very clear that the most important stage of this game is the third quarter. As long as the Knicks can still maintain the advantage in scores, the Knicks' winning rate in this game will be even higher. After all, the two teams have no reservations in the third quarter. If the Lakers can't catch up in one quarter, then it will be quite difficult to rely on the fourth quarter to chase the wind.

Similarly, if the Lakers can tie or overtake the score in the third quarter, then the Knicks will be under great pressure. If they can't even hold back the third quarter, can they still expect them to chase points in the fourth quarter?

Therefore, when both sides were still playing hard to distinguish in the third quarter, the score difference between the two sides was still swaying between 2 and 4 points, which was a bit difficult for both teams, or it did not meet the expectations of both teams!

"Damn it! These guys are so tenacious!"

When Ewing kept attacking the Lakers from the inside again and again, the Lakers even contracted more and more, but they still couldn't stop his attack. With his offensive state, the Lakers should have failed long ago in his design.

But what makes Ewing extremely uncomfortable is that even if he puts the basketball into the Lakers' basket again and again, other Lakers' players will definitely be retrieved next time. Even if they can't be retrieved, when the score difference between the two sides widens to four or six points, then Lin Han will definitely break through to one against the Knicks. Not only can the Knicks not only be able to widen the score, but even when the third quarter is getting further and further, the Lakers, who have a very obvious disadvantage in the inside, actually rushed to grab the frontcourt rebounds after the timeout.

Teams that are in a weak interior need to ensure the success rate of offense, so as long as Lin Han does not exert force, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is actually impossible to stick to the equally matched with the Knicks. In this case, it is also necessary for the Lakers to grab the frontcourt rebounds. After all, facing the Knicks' three-in-one tactics, the Lakers are indeed at a disadvantage in height, but in terms of movement speed, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey are both second-year rookies, and Lin Han's frontcourt rebounding ability is also famous in the league. There is indeed no problem with the Magician's arrangement.

However, the key is that the Knicks and Ewing, who want to establish a huge advantage in the third quarter, feel absolutely uncomfortable when they see the Lakers still have the energy to grab the frontcourt rebounds.

Because most New York Knicks players are not very confident about Lin Han, because the memory left by this guy to New York Knicks players in the fourth quarter is too special. Even if they lead a lot in the fourth quarter, the Knicks players cannot guarantee that they can definitely defeat Lin Han, and not to mention that there are not many people leading in the third quarter? If Lin Han plays another Miracle Moment, wouldn’t they cry to death?

Although there are very few such possibilities, Lin Han will not play miracle moments once or twice in the fourth quarter. Who knows this guy?

As this insecurity continues to lose time in the third quarter, the anxious expression on the Knicks players or Ewing's faces became stronger. The insistence is that when the third quarter comes to an end, facing the Lakers' fierce attack on the frontcourt rebound, the Knicks players' movements are getting bigger and bigger, and the gunpowder smell on the two teams on the court is getting stronger and stronger!

"I must win this game, I must win this game!"

As the leader of the New York Knicks, although Ewing has never been a member of the gangster, he was forced to do this by the Lakers in this game. As the leader of the team, he was not even less pressure than Pat Riley in this game. After losing the Finals last year and being blocked by a second-rate inside line like Polynis in the Finals, the New York leader was questioned. The Knicks fans who have always respected him all the time have been rumored to him during that period. How could Ewing stand it?!

If he wants to prove himself again, he has no other way, either to lead the team to win the championship, or to defeat Lin Han at home in Madison Square, there are only these two options!

The championship is a future, and defeating Lin Han is a must-have. If you cannot defeat Lin Han in this game, Ewing would not even dare to imagine whether he can still have the chance to win the championship in this team. Don’t doubt the bloody level of the New York management!
To be continued...
