I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 502

"That's right, and it's not good for the Lakers now. With a six-point gap, coupled with the unique Nesan madness, they are bound to have a difficult third quarter."

"The Lakers have to adjust at halftime, and they have to contain the Knicks' offensive rhythm."

The Lakers have already found a way to deal with Ni Sanfeng after the previous four games.

After the start of the third quarter, the Lakers made a personnel adjustment that surprised everyone.

Artest, who had been very effective in defending Su Ye, was replaced by Zen Master.

The person who replaced him became Odom, the sixth man of the Lakers.

Seeing Odom, an old acquaintance, made the fans feel a little excited.

The player who won the Sixth Man of the Year award this year has gradually broken away from the Lakers' existing system.

If he is played in the game, Dayao must be moved to the outside, otherwise the space will become a bit crowded.

"Going to Odom?"

Teacher Zhang Weiping also raised questions.

"Artest performed so well that Master Jackson didn't let him play in the third quarter."

"It looks like the Lakers' tactics have changed a bit."

"Let's see the game first."

Odom returned, and as the team leader, Kobe also smiled and put his hand around the opponent's neck, patted his chest, and told him to play well.

Odom touched his bald head and grinned twice.

Everyone on the Knicks side showed puzzled expressions.

Why did the Lakers suddenly give up Dayao's inside advantage?

After all, in the third quarter of the game, Dayao is now full of energy.

Logically speaking, Dayao should be allowed to lead the attack in the first few minutes and quickly close the score. Why did Odom suddenly come in?

Everyone was confused.

Knicks home fans showed bright smiles.

"Odom doesn't have outside shooting ability, so he can organize with rebounds. Isn't this a gift!"

"I like it! More like Odom!"

“I really don’t know how powerful our Nisan crazy people are!”

Knicks fans are full of confidence.

After all, they have seen Odom's strength. Without shooting, the inside is destined to be very crowded.

But after the game started, the Knicks, who were playing at home, couldn't even laugh.

At the beginning, the Lakers directly moved Dayao to the outside, and let Su Ye and Randolph enter the inside.

Not only that, Odom's inside advantage was instantly revealed.

After Kobe Bryant broke through Stephenson from the outside, Su Ye, currently the only one with the best inside defense, had to make up the defense.

Naturally, Randolph couldn't withstand the torture of Odom and Bynum.

Only 2 minutes into the game, the Lakers not only evened the point difference, but also led the Lakers by two points.

The "Nisan Madness" that once frightened teams across the league started to resemble the "Lake San Madness" tonight.

Not only that, everyone thought that Odom had no way to restrain Su Ye.

The problem is that the Lakers still maintained the defensive strategy of the previous game.

If you want to defend Su Ye one-on-one, Odom is definitely not as good as Artest.

But if you want to limit Su Ye's shooting, these two people are equally matched.

After all, Odom's height of 2 meters is there, and the advantage of height and long arms makes him more threatening to defend Su Ye's shooting from the outside.

After a back and forth, the Knicks failed to score the opening points in the third minute, and Prosser directly called a timeout.

He was holding a tactical board and anxiously arranging tactics.

The tactics prepared by Jackson broke all the Knicks' arrangements tonight.

Not far away, the corners of Zen Master's mouth raised slightly.

He still maintained his previous solution to the "Ni San Madness" that caused headaches for the entire league.

The Lakers all attack.

Use offense against offense.

In a spear-on-spear battle, both sides can only compete to see whose defense is more effective.

In the previous games, he asked Artest to continue to restrict Su Ye in the third quarter.

But here comes the problem. Artest is destined to be a 3D defensive player. In terms of independent offense, he can only rank fifth in the team's scoring points.

This made Artest the weakest point against Biaoxia in the third quarter. His presence in the game was even lower than that of DeAndre Jordan on the Knicks.

But Odom is different.

Originally a power forward, he has the ability to control the ball, attack independently, and has good skills at the basket.

This allowed the Lakers to finally find their best solution in the third quarter in the battle at Tianwang Mountain.

That's Odom, strengthening the team's offense.

Obviously, this substitution is very effective.

The Knicks were completely caught off guard.

The spectators on the sidelines were also worried at this moment. They did not expect that the Knicks, whom they supported, would fall into a disadvantage in the third quarter of the game they were most familiar with.

There was a trend of negative news in the forum.

"It's over, everything is over, the Knicks can't surge in the third quarter."

"Wuhu! Suye Tianwang Mountain's first defeat will happen today!"

"It's so difficult! Why was Dayao transferred outside!"

"It's not going to be easy now. Dayao is putting pressure on three-pointers from the outside. He can also post up and attack Jordan. How can Jordan play?"

"The rebounds are gone, Randolph can't beat Bynum."

"It's only been three minutes, and the Lakers have three offensive rebounds. This is just a stretch. Let's just surrender."

The situation on the court at this moment is very unfavorable for the Knicks.

On the bench, Prosser also worked with the assistant coaching team to constantly communicate with the players to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Take the three-point route?"

"No, the boss is so over looked at me, you can't expect me to score three points with the rookie, right?"

"Three-pointers are not enough, how about playing three-point organization?"

"It's not impossible, we can try."

Prosser frowned and communicated with Deron.

They now have to find a way to break the ice.

But at this moment, Su Ye slowly spoke.

"Why don't you try playing inside."

"An inside call?"

"Boss, do we want to play inside?"

Prosser and Deron showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect that Su Ye wanted to start from the inside.

At this time, Prosser also picked up the tactical board and gave instructions to everyone.

"Let's do this. Let's listen to Su Ye first."

"When we play inside, we still use the old tactics, three breakthroughs."

"Stephenson, you..."

Just when Prosser was about to draw tactics for everyone, Su Ye objected again.

"I mean, I play inside."

"You are responsible for the outside issues."

"We won't make three breakthroughs. Leave the inside line to me and Randolph. Just keep an eye on Dayao, Jordan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions immediately changed.

The tactics they just discussed were all based on Su Ye being the shooting guard and small forward.

But no one thought about how Su Ye would play if he switched to the inside.

After all, there are already Randolph and DeAndre Jordan in the paint.

Randolph was able to open up some space, but Jordan had no choice but to protect the penalty area.

Su Ye returned to the inside.

Then everything will be different.

Tactics, defensive moves, offensive moves and even defense changes are completely different from before.

Now that we have entered the third quarter of the game, the team still needs some time to adapt.

Su Ye saw everyone sinking

"You don't have to worry about me, I can do it myself."

"You just play normally and treat me as a small forward."

"Odom, who is on the opposite side now, is originally an inside man. If he continues to play like this, it will be difficult to play next."

Su Ye's words also made Prosser's eyes light up.

"An inside call?"

"It's not impossible."

"What do you think? If there is no problem, we will fight according to Su Ye's instructions."

At this moment Stephenson was the first to stand up and respond.

"I have no problem. Although I have never fought against the boss, I will try my best."

Everyone saw that Stephenson, the newest arrival, was speaking. If anyone had any concerns, they all responded one after another.

"It's okay with me, I listen to the boss."

"This thing is the same as last year. Coach, let's draw up tactics."

"Coach, arrange the tactics."

Seeing that no one objected, Prosser quickly took advantage of the last 20 seconds to draw the key tactics.

When they returned to the field again, everyone didn't have much confidence.

Originally this was a temporary change.

They don't know what will happen on the field if they continue to play like this.

Returning to the court again, the Knicks made the first try.

After Su Ye narrowed the offensive area to the three-point line, the outside space became significantly larger.

Randolph can be deployed at any time to complete the pick-and-roll, which creates a good opportunity for Deron and Stephenson to take open shots in the mid-range.

But after all, they just changed their tactics.

After a pick-and-roll, Deron ran into Odom's defense and the basketball came out.

At this moment, everyone in the Knicks was feeling a little depressed.

They didn't have much confidence in this plan, and the chaos on the field now made everyone feel unsure.

The commentators are all complaining.

"Su Ye's side has entered the two-point line. Are the Knicks preparing to adopt a more stable two-point shooting?"

"Su Ye letting go of the ball is not a good choice. After all, he is the only one on the Knicks who can complete the attack."

"The Knicks still have to make adjustments. It's not okay to continue playing like they are."

On the court, the Lakers are becoming more confident as they play.

They also noticed changes within the Knicks.

They didn't have much to say about this.

After all, from this perspective, the Knicks can be said to have found a new tactical strategy.

Especially in terms of the team's offense, they haven't seen the Knicks attack in this way for a long time.

"They want to play inside?"

Kobe was slightly startled.

Paul also joked with a smile.

"I have no choice but to play retro. I want to imitate last year."

After hearing Paul's words, everyone smiled brightly.

They are improving, but the Knicks are regressing.

Even if the Knicks use last year's tactics, they lack the threat ability of Ray Allen from the outside and there is no way to fully utilize Su Ye's firepower.

The Lakers didn't think much about it and continued to maintain Zen Master's tactics.

Just when Kobe successfully broke through Stephenson's defense and cut inside again.

A figure came out from the side of Kobe.

Kobe glanced out of the corner of his eye and shivered suddenly.

Before he knew it, Su Ye had already crawled to his side.

Seeing that the opponent was about to risk himself, Kobe could only smash the ball to the ground and bounce it to Odom inside, allowing him to finish the offense.

But after all, the Knicks are missing Ray Allen, and they only lose one outside firepower point.

There haven't been many changes on the inside.

Jordan has fully adapted to Hayes' role last year, and Randolph is Su Ye's old partner.

Seeing that Odom was about to attack, Randolph stepped forward and held Randolph back.

Su Ye, who was in the middle distance at the moment, turned around and ran to the inside. He turned around and formed a double-team with Randolph.

In desperation, Hayes could only pass the ball out.

However, the perimeter defensive strategy has been successfully constructed, and both Deron and Stephenson despise their own people.

Odom threw the ball high to Dayao.

The Lakers have little time left to attack.

Dayao could only forcefully take action against Jordan.

The basketball arced across the rim, and everyone could see that the ball couldn't hit.

At this moment, Su Ye jumped up high before everyone else, and grabbed the basket with his hands one step ahead.

When others chose to take off again, Su Ye had already hugged the basketball tightly with both hands and pocketed it.

Even the fans were shocked at this moment.

Su Ye's two consecutive key defenses directly helped the entire Knicks team resolve the crisis.

Su Ye, who grabbed the rebound, turned around and roared.

"Quick attack! Run!"

Stephenson was the first to react and strode towards the Lakers basket.

Su Ye stood under his own basket, rounded his arms and waved vigorously.

The basketball arced through the air and landed in the hands of Stephenson, who had already reached the opponent's free throw line.

Stephenson made an easy layup and the Knicks tied the score.

At this moment, Lakers fans showed fear on their faces.

Last year, Su Ye killed the Lakers in this way.

The Lakers had no chance to resist, and were directly sent away from the finals stage by the Knicks.

As soon as the ball was scored, the Knicks team's momentum was completely different from before.

Everyone saw hope again.

In the next defensive round, Kobe clearly noticed that Su Ye was always ready to make up for the Knicks' loopholes.

That invincible small forward came to Madison Square Garden again tonight.

With Su Ye's previous defense, no one dared to take action easily at this moment.

Everyone can also see that the Lakers are worried about Su Ye's defense.

When a team's offense begins to hesitate, it is often when the team enters a period of offensive stagnation.

The Lakers' offense failed this time.

When the offense and defense transitioned again, the position where Su Ye stood made teacher Zhang Weiping exclaim.

"Is Su Ye going to dig an inside line?"

The fans saw Su Ye on the screen already in the low post, ready to catch the ball from his teammates at any time.

Odom, who was defending Su Ye, was also sweating profusely.

Although he is taller than Su Ye, his strength is really not as good as Su Ye.

If he really wanted to play 1 on 1 in the low post, it would be difficult for him to restrain Su Ye.

Compared with Su Ye's outside play, Su Ye's inside play obviously gave him more headaches.

At this moment in the commentary box, Teacher Zhang Weiping was very worried.

"This is not easy."

"Although Su Ye is in a low position in his familiarity."

"But in addition to Odom, the Lakers also have Bynum and Dayao inside."

"If you try to dig deep inside the Lakers, it's really hard to score."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ye on the court glanced at Randolph.

Randolph understood immediately and obediently withdrew to the outside line, pulling Odom away from the inside line.

When Dayao saw this movement, he also understood it and focused all his attention on Su Ye.

Play inside.

This is something that everyone on the Lakers team is very familiar with.

Last year, it was because they didn't have enough interior defense that they were defeated by Su Ye alone.

With Dayao joining this year, they are really not afraid of Su Ye going head-to-head with them inside.

After the Knicks passed the ball from the outside many times, Su Ye finally created a 1-on-1 opportunity in the low post on the right side.

Su Ye, who caught the ball, leaned on Odom with his back.

Odom is sweating profusely now.

He also played against Su Ye last year. Of course he knew how terrifying Su Ye's low singles skills were.

Others turn their backs and look for opportunities.

Su Ye is different.

He will use his shoulders and back to knock you away in a brutal and unreasonable way, and then hit the basket in front of you.

You want to press forward.

He will turn his back and finish inside.

You want to drop back.

He will lean back.

With a solid arsenal of weapons, Su Ye has long become an offensive kaleidoscope.

You have no way of thinking about how he will ultimately complete the offense.

Just when Odom was sweating profusely and guarding Su Ye seriously.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed the figure flashing behind Su Ye.

Then Kobe's roar came to my ears.

"Switch defense!"

At some point, Randolph put up a pick-and-roll and blocked Kobe behind Stephenson.

Stephenson ran at full speed towards the bottom corner behind Su Ye.

Su Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly and passed Stephenson a direct pass.

Stephenson caught the ball and shot from the bottom corner.

At this moment, the faces of the Lakers players changed.

They finally realized a problem.

When Su Ye returns to the third position and plays as a swingman at the third or fourth position, his dominance in the low post will be terrifying.

This ball is the best proof.

Su Ye's intimidation alone created opportunities for everyone in the Knicks to take action.

However, Stephenson's ball is obviously somewhat inaccurate.

He complained regretfully to himself.

Seeing that the three-pointer missed, everyone in the Lakers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, a dark figure jumped high on the right side of the basket.

He pushed the basketball that had just bounced back into the basket.

Dayao didn't even take off at this time.

After Su Ye easily completed the make-up dunk, he hung on the basket with one hand and smiled at the Lakers players.

In the commentary box in the distance, teacher Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly to the fans.

"came back!"

"came back!"

"It's all back!"

"The all-powerful Su Ye is back!"

"This is a nightmare for the Lakers!"

The Zen master didn't even think of it.

After this suspension adjustment.

Su Ye relied on one defense, one offense and one extra dunk, which directly caused a qualitative change in the Knicks team.

Kobe also had a complicated expression at the moment.

His eyes were locked on Su Ye, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.
