Chapter 257 Team Strength! Take the Initiative!

not good?

Coach Zhang only said it briefly and did not elaborate.

On the one hand, there are uncertainties.

On the other hand, it's like keeping a suspenseful atmosphere, further arousing the fans' desire to watch the game!

On the field.

Throughout the first quarter, Su Yan and Kobe continued their duel.

Su Yan made a total of 4 three-pointers, which, to some extent, was even better than Kobe's performance.

but.

The team lost by 5 points.

Next section.

First, they rotated as substitutes.

Led by Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown, and Jordan Farmar.

The Lakers' bench players are dominating the Knicks again.

Iverson and McGrady were both unable to withstand the attack.

McGrady was simply ruined by injuries; he can no longer be the "White Horse Long Gun Tracy" he once was.

Like Iverson, but... he's been seriously recovering and training all season, so there might be one game where he explodes.

It doesn't seem to be tonight.

At least... it has to be in the playoffs.

Rotate every 4 minutes.

The point difference widened further, reaching a full 9 points.

"Beep!"

Coach D'Antoni called a timeout.

Both teams' starting lineups have returned.

The Knicks' offensive efficiency suddenly improved, with Su Yan and Curry firing on all cylinders from beyond the arc, and David Lee and Tyson forming a twin towers defense in the paint.

It looks like things are getting better.

Little did they know... their opponent was the defending champion, with a better lineup, better teamwork, and a very respectable performance.

then.

Halftime is over.

The difference in points was a full 14 points.

"Why?!"

Halftime locker room.

Wilson Chandler was completely bewildered, his face showing his confusion. "Su Yan hit 6 three-pointers in the first half, scoring 27 points. Even Kobe Bryant only scored 18 points."

The team still lost by 14 points?!

Is this reasonable?!

"It's so unreasonable!"

Curry shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe it.

"Tsk tsk..."

David Lee couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Is this the foundation of the defending champion? They're really strong!"

Su Yan's gaze also turned serious. "I have a bit of a headache!"

"Who cares? I'm not afraid. There are still two quarters left. Let's win the second half together!"

Tyson Chandler raised his arms and roared.

He always has a lot of energy and is always full of confidence, and this type of player helps to improve the locker room atmosphere.

On the field.

in the audience.

"Admiral" David Robinson laughed, "We were enjoying a great match, how did the score difference suddenly jump to double digits?"

"Ha~"

Hakeem Olajuwon smiled and explained, "The exciting duel stemmed from the offensive battle between Su Yan and Kobe."

This is really inspiring.

However... a competition is not a one-man game.

Bynum, nicknamed "Little Shark," destroyed the paint, while Gasol was a versatile player capable of both offense and defense.

"Left-handed magician" Odom led the substitutes to victory.

Artest excels in defense and three-point shooting, making him a formidable "3D player" in the league.

The essential.

He also possessed a fierce energy that instilled fear in his opponents.

Fisher is also a "3D player" who can defend and create space to shoot three-pointers, which every team likes.

Finally, there's Kobe, whose greatness needs no further explanation.

As last year's champion team, the Lakers seem to have a lineup that can both attack and defend, from starters to bench players.

Both offense and defense are online.

The combined power is so astonishing that most teams would be at a disadvantage simply by relying on their lineups.

Moreover, there are still differences in the quality of superstars.

Su Yan, nicknamed "Flame God" of the Knicks, went toe-to-toe with Kobe Bryant and even displayed more efficient offensive firepower than Kobe.

Unfortunately, my teammates were terrible.

Stephen could provide some firepower, but that was far from enough.

If the game continues like this, the Knicks are likely to lose.

Hakeem Olajuwon's answer was exactly the same as Coach Zhang's explanation during halftime.

"The game won't continue like this."

Larry Bird, with his arms crossed, still exudes the arrogant and domineering aura of a king of the jungle.

"Don't forget, Su Yan is the top DPOY player. His strength is not just in offense."

The first half was a blowout.

In the second half... Su Yan will definitely be more serious, focusing on both offense and defense, and the situation will shift dramatically.

That's right.

Su Yan was planning to do just that.

He wasn't slacking off on defense in the first half, and his teammates played quite well, all of them were in good form.

All I can say is... the Lakers have an incredibly deep roster.

The gap in core strength caused the score difference to widen little by little in round after round.

Then we can only be more serious.

Not a moment.

The second half is about to begin.

The game resumes after switching sides.

Knicks ball.

Curry pushed forward, changed direction one-on-one, and drove in past Fisher, finishing with a smooth layup.

The shot hit the target.

He's kind of handsome.

This gave the team a good start to the second half.

Switch to offense.

Kobe dribbled the ball forward, and Wilson Chandler immediately pounced on him, pressing him tightly on defense.

"tread!"

Su Yan was watching intently from behind.

He can provide backup defense for Kobe at any time, and also keep an eye on other Lakers players who are attacking the basket.

Kobe?

He tried to get past Wilson, but this time Wilson defended very well, keeping his position and holding his own in the physical contest, while also keeping up with his footwork.

Kobe didn't have a good chance.

"Wow~"

Fisher, positioned at the top of the arc, suddenly passed the ball back to Gasol in the low left post, who then launched a high lob pass.

Facing David Lee.

"Bang bang bang!"

Using a back-to-the-basket move as a starting point, he executed a series of half-spins and agile footwork to get David Lee behind him and attack the basket directly.

Got it?

Anyway... David Lee couldn't defend against it.

"drink!"

Tyson lunged forward with a low growl to block the shot, but he was still a little short in height. But it didn't matter... Su Yan followed up from behind.

"boom!"

A powerful backhand shot sent the basketball flying.

Curry grabbed the rebound, accelerated down the court, rushed to the left arc, positioned himself, and raised his hand to launch a three-pointer!

"What a joke!"

Kobe roared as he chased after the defender to block the shot.

Curry didn't shoot, faked out Kobe, but Fisher's help defense came over, and Curry's fast break three-pointer was thwarted.

It's ok.

"Wow~"

Curry made a lateral pass to Su Yan, who was following up. Su Yan caught the ball at the top of the arc on the right side, two meters beyond the three-point line, and immediately hit a three-pointer.

Without the slightest hesitation.

next second.

A crisp, resounding piercing sound rang out.

Taking a three-pointer from a great distance is as easy as drinking water.

"wooow~"

Mike Breen looked excited, "A block on defense, and a long-range three-pointer on offense."

Su Yan truly deserves to be called "the top 3D in the league".

One offensive move, one defensive move—their superstar status was on full display!

A 9-point difference.

Lakers ball.

Fisher pushed the ball forward, trying to find Kobe, but Wilson and David Lee were watching him closely, so he had no chance at all.

First, give the top lane to Artest.

"tread!"

Su Yan moved closer, actively increasing the defensive intensity, not just to hinder Artest's offense.

He should try to steal the ball.

Disrupting the attack creates an opportunity for a counterattack and a comeback.

"Humph!"

Artest snorted, and without saying a word, he went straight for the ball, violently charging into Su Yan!
