McGrady's sudden and continuous outbursts, as if he were "back to his peak," left the entire Lakers team completely bewildered.
My scalp tingled uncontrollably.
"what's the situation?!"
Fisher was in a real bind.
"really?!"
Pau Gasol frowned. "If McGrady gets into his element, if he really explodes, he'll be a real pain to deal with!"
"It's unreasonable!"
Artest's face also showed an incredulous expression, "No, McGrady is more than just a scoring touch."
His physical condition seems to have improved significantly.
This is incredible.
Kobe narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them. "Is this the hunger for a championship?!"
The entire Lakers team on the court was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
The game continues.
McGrady's resurgence continues, not only because of his "peak performance," but also because... the Lakers are struggling to adapt.
indeed.
A player who is about to retire suddenly plays at the level of his peak scoring champion.
Who can stand this.
I simply can't stand it.
The Lakers were completely bewildered throughout the second quarter.
Su Yan and McGrady, without any confusion, joined forces to establish a 6-point lead for the team.
Back for the second half.
The game resumes after switching sides.
The Lakers reacted and began to increase their defensive intensity against McGrady, starting to truly defend him.
How about it?!
The effect is good.
Even a McGrady who was "back to his peak" couldn't score smoothly against the Lakers' suffocating defense.
after all.
McGrady is just experiencing a return to his peak; he doesn't have the unlimited shooting rights he had during his Magic days.
If you are truly targeted, your efficiency will decrease.
But... McGrady also contributed to the team by drawing defensive attention, something no other role player on the Knicks had been able to do before tonight.
The advantage is that...
This reduces the defensive pressure on Su Yan.
Then "Flame God" will naturally punish every Lakers player who lets his guard down.
Three-pointers, dunks, layups, and so on.
Su Yan's form has been consistently excellent; given even the slightest opportunity, he's sure to finish the game efficiently.
This is the power of the "Flame God".
The Knicks' strategy of guarding McGrady is no less than robbing Peter to pay Paul, and the problem is that the problem is even bigger!
But if we ignore McGrady...
Even in his prime, when he could comfortably attack, McGrady would punish his opponents severely.
"Fire God" + "T-mac".
When two players are on the same team, it's like a royal flush, a nightmare for the opponent.
The game ended in three quarters.
The Knicks have an 11-point lead and have completely dominated the game, holding the victory in their hands for now.
The pressure is on the Lakers.
Rest during the holiday.
"Damn it!"
Artest cursed, "In the pivotal Game 5, the Knicks were destined to lose, but then Tracy, who's 'back to his peak,' suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
What incredible luck!
"Yeah, we're really lucky."
Bynum also looked annoyed, saying, "If we play with real strength, the Lakers will definitely win the game."
"But now Tracy is unleashing his full potential, and the Knicks' fighting power has suddenly increased, making them very difficult to deal with."
Pau Gasol looked grim.
"Luck is also part of strength. We need to be mentally prepared. An 11-point difference doesn't mean we can't win."
Kobe spoke in a deep voice, constantly encouraging his teammates.
With some players breaking out and the Knicks becoming more competitive, the Lakers need a good mindset and strong confidence to turn the tide.
Not a moment.
The final quarter has begun.
If McGrady starts, then... the Knicks' bench strength will decrease.
The Lakers' bench players need to seize the opportunity to close the gap.
OK?
No.
Wilson Chandler is a versatile "swingman" who can both score on offense and defend, and is the Knicks' second line of defense on the perimeter.
Throughout the entire finals so far, he has appeared unremarkable.
That's because his direct matchup was Kobe, one of the best offensive players in the league.
Of course he couldn't defend against it.
However, if Wilson is on the bench, playing as a mid-tier player against a lower-tier player, he can still make a difference.
"Left-handed Magician" Odom is even stronger.
But if Wilson teams up with Iverson and Larry Hughes, as long as they don't lose points, they're winning points.
Rotate every 3 minutes.
The Lakers didn't gain any advantage.
"Beep!"
Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," couldn't wait any longer and immediately called a timeout to bring back the starting lineup and get the decisive battle started early.
He also secretly hoped that McGrady's breakout moments would end, and he would return to mediocrity and become a "pretty face" again.
If there is no "sealed candy".
McGrady will most likely return to mediocrity after a period of brilliance due to factors such as physical exhaustion, poor form, and injuries.
But now.
Not at all.
Tonight, only tonight, under the effect of the "Closed Candy," McGrady will maintain his peak condition as long as he doesn't overexert himself.
With Su Yan around.
As the second-in-command, he naturally has inexhaustible physical strength.
With those two teaming up, and rookie Curry orchestrating the offense, the Lakers felt constant fear!
The double-digit point difference has never decreased since the Knicks were founded, and it even seems to be gradually widening.
They suppressed the enemy all the way.
The Knicks ultimately defeated the Lakers by 13 points.
They successfully conquered the Lakers' home court, won Game 5, and won the pivotal Game 5, taking the lead in the Finals.
"Oh my god!"
"It's over, Barbie Q!"
"Tracy is really annoying. He didn't have a breakout season, but he suddenly had one in the finals, which was the crucial Game 5."
What incredible luck!
This is so annoying, so frustrating!!!
"Losing tonight has suddenly made things incredibly bad for us Lakers!"
Many Lakers fans panicked.
Because... the Knicks not only took the lead in the series, but also faced a Game 6 and a possible Game 7.
All of them have home advantage.
The Knicks won both Game 1 and Game 2 at home.
The Lakers are naturally under immense pressure.
The atmosphere at Staples Center became somber.
"The Knicks won! They won Game 5!"
On the high platform.
Wang Meng didn't care about anything else and shouted excitedly, "Su Yan has secured the match point for the team in the finals!"
With just one more victory, Su Yan will win the championship, bringing unparalleled glory to the basketball world of China!
"Hi-ya~ Hi-ya~"
Coach Zhang waved and shook his head happily, like a child, "Su Yan has exploded again tonight, an unstoppable explosion."
He is the cornerstone of the Knicks' winning formula.
McGrady really stepped up tonight, having a breakout performance that relieved pressure on Su Yan and added offensive firepower to the Knicks.
The Lakers were instantly overwhelmed and lost by as many as 13 points.
"Flame God" + "T-mac" teamed up to take down the king of the game, and both are deeply loved by Chinese fans.
Well done, both of you!
Come on!
I hope they can maintain their composure in Game 6, continue their momentum, defeat the Lakers, and win the championship!!!
