NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 611: Defense! The Knicks also have a day when they rely on defense!
"Hey Alonzo, I thought you were already in a nursing home." O'Neal immediately started teasing when he saw Mourning coming up.
"I will definitely die later than you, because when you, a fat guy, die of diabetes, I will have to carry your coffin." Although Mourning has not been in the battlefield for a long time, his mouth has not deteriorated at all. He said to O'Neal: "It's been so long since we last met. How many championships have you won?"
"Didn't you say during the draft that you wanted to win five more MVPs and eight more championships than me?"
"Do you remember how you pulled my arm and acted like a spoiled child before the draft, asking me what you would do if no one picked you?"
"You were much cuter then, like a cute little fat boy, but now you are just stupid, a silly, idiotic old fat boy."
What does it mean when an old man scolds someone, he is worth two people?
Mourning may not be able to beat you, O'Neal, but you two are rookies in the same class, and you can criticize him without any hesitation.
Of course, Lin Tian did not have time to listen carefully to the debate between the two men. He quickly came to the frontcourt, then turned his back and walked two steps into the three-point line against Fisher. Then, before the help defense came over, he suddenly turned around quickly, made a step-back jump shot, and quickly scored 3 points!
It's true that O'Neal can't beat Mourning, but in terms of strength on the court, he can still beat Mourning!
This guy quickly got into position and turned around again, then hit Mourning in the chest with his elbow, then turned around and made another one-handed dunk!
"Alonzo, why don't you just go back to the nursing home? I can help you prepay 10 years of fees. The basketball court is no longer suitable for you."
"Did you just score 20 points in one round?" Even though Mourning failed to defend O'Neal, he was not afraid at all. He opened his mouth and said, "Only scored 2 points in one round. I don't understand what you idiot are celebrating."
"You're dead tonight!" O'Neal really didn't expect that his old rival from the same class, whom he hadn't played against for a long time, would become so vicious. He immediately decided to shut up and use basketball to solve everything!
He has absolute confidence that he can deal with Mourning!
"Alonzo, is there any problem?" Lin Tian took the ball from the baseline. This time he did not rush forward, but patted Mourning on the shoulder.
"Don't worry." Mo Ning was still relaxed: "I'm old, and my old bones need to warm up before I can regain my feeling. Don't worry about me, just fight as you want. When I warm up, I'll let him know how powerful I am!"
"Tell me when you're ready!" Lin Tian nodded, expressing his absolute trust in his teammates. Then he moved forward quickly and reached the front court in the blink of an eye.
After running a few tactics, Lin Tian passed the ball to Smith on the left. Let's not talk about how good this guy is, but in terms of confidence, he is definitely in the top three in the entire Knicks team, so after receiving the ball, he just threw it without thinking.
"Shh!"
After a crisp sound, this offensive method that he was not good at also went into the pocket accurately.
"Call me the mid-range guy!" Smith yelled excitedly, while quickly retreating to join the defense.
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, who made two consecutive change-of-direction dribbles facing Wallace. However, before he could accelerate to break through, Wallace actually took the initiative to stick to him. This active defensive change made Kobe unable to react in the first place.
Although he did not make any mistakes, his rhythm was disrupted. He could only retreat quickly and find his rhythm again. Then when Wallace pressed forward again, Kobe had accelerated again and quickly passed this guy.
It has to be said that top attackers would be distracted for a moment when facing Wallace's level of one-on-one defense, but it is really difficult to defend against him.
Kobe made his way to the mid-range and just as he was about to shoot, Smith came running over to assist Kobe in defense. Kobe did not force it, but passed the ball to Kirilenko who was left open.
Before Kirilenko got the ball and had a chance to shoot, Anthony and Wallace rushed over and double-teamed him. This sudden double-team made Kirilenko extremely embarrassed. He could only pass the ball reluctantly, trying to give it to Prince who was closest to him.
But Lin Tian, who had been lurking nearby, suddenly rushed out from the side, intercepted Kirilenko's pass, turned around and started a fast break!
After a man dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, facing Kobe's rapid retreat, Lin Tian suddenly threw the ball directly into the sky. Then Lin Tian himself quickly flashed to the side, and a huge figure behind him had already soared into the sky!
Smith followed up from the middle, grabbed the ball in the air and slammed it into the basket with one hand!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Smith crossed his hands again and performed his signature celebration move, 'Eagle Takes Off'!
The reason for this shot was that Kobe ran fast. If he had moved a little slower, this shot would have been a powerful dunk.
"What a pity, some people run faster than mice!" Lin Tian unabashedly mocked Kobe, who had just quickly moved aside so as not to become a background figure.
Unfortunately, it was still far from Kobe's time to get excited. Instead, he quickly reached the baseline, passed the ball to Fisher, and then ran towards the frontcourt empty-handed.
Over the next period of time, the Lakers' offense became quite unsmooth!
The Knicks' lineup, at least in terms of hard talents such as height, wingspan, jumping and running ability, is definitely not inferior to the five players of the Lakers. In addition, under the instructions of old Nelson, this group of people has invested tremendous energy and physical strength on the defensive end.
They kept running and were very aggressive in stealing the ball. Although they would be passed by, the help defense of others was also quite fast! This made it difficult for the Lakers to pass any comfortable open opportunities. They often had to shoot against people. Unfortunately, the Knicks' players were all tall and strong. Naturally, their hit rate was greatly reduced when they shot against them.
But this is not actually because the Knicks' defense has improved a lot, nor is it because they suddenly have a defensive system.
Their current defense, to use professional terms, is: bullshit.
The whole team follows the ball, relying entirely on individual ability and subconscious reaction to defend. Wherever the ball is, there are Knicks players.
Anyway, this group of people have unlimited physical strength, strong energy and amazing physical talents.
These guys defended like that and actually made the Lakers a little confused.
They really had never seen this kind of... well, high school level defensive tactics and system.
As the saying goes, a random punch can kill a master. The Knicks' messy defense actually had a miraculous effect, preventing the Lakers from scoring in three consecutive attacks.
The Knicks took advantage of this opportunity to score another goal, narrowing the gap to 1 points!
"Hold on! Why are you so anxious? They are like headless flies. Are you also like headless flies? This kind of shit can be contagious?" Jackson finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and yelled at the players on the court: "Look at what they are doing! Watch them carefully!"
"Observe carefully, then attack for me! Pass the ball to me! Direct the ball away completely!"
With just two sentences, the effect was immediate. The Lakers players were much calmer and passed the ball faster. After several consecutive passes, Prince got a chance for a mid-range jump shot on the wing. This guy jumped up and shot it, making it 2 points.
The Lakers finally stabilized the situation.
Next, the Knicks' ball hit Mourning's hands, and this guy shot directly from the mid-range area.
"Boom!"
This was originally his best way of scoring, but this time the basketball failed to hit the target.
"Allonzo, I've already told you that you should go to a nursing home instead of playing basketball here!" O'Neal, who grabbed the rebound, continued to grin and yell at Mourning, then passed the ball to Kobe, and the Lakers continued to attack!
This time, Kobe was quite sensible and passed the ball directly to O'Neal who was stuck in the inside, allowing him to continue to duel with Mourning.
Although Wallace quickly assisted in defense, O'Neal also passed the ball quickly to Prince on the outside, and then Prince passed it to O'Neal.
After this back and forth tug of war, Wallace didn't dare to assist in defense anymore.
He doesn't want to be walked like a dog.
"Boom! Boom!"
O'Neal, who finally got the chance to duel, was not polite at all. He directly hit Mourning twice in a row. Then he turned around and stood up to make another two-handed dunk like a mountain falling on his head!
"Get down here!" But this time, Mourning was not pushed away by O'Neal. He calculated the timing of O'Neal's jump, jumped as high as possible, and then slapped the basketball that O'Neal was about to dunk! Although the difference in strength was too great, the ball was not directly slapped away by Mourning.
But enough is enough!
"Boom!"
O'Neal's powerful dunk was obviously short due to Mourning's interference, and it hit the front edge of the basket directly.
As the basketball bounced high, Mourning exerted his remaining strength, jumped again, and slapped the ball out of the three-point line!
It's not that he didn't want to hold on to the basketball, but he really didn't have the energy to do so. He knew too well how big the gap was between him and O'Neal. It would be an extraordinary performance for him to block one. How could he expect to grab the rebound over O'Neal's head without finding his position?
That's almost impossible!
So instead of holding the ball forcibly, it is better to hit the ball out and choose to trust your teammates!
The one who got the ball outside the three-point line was of course Lin Tian, who had the fastest reaction. He hugged the basketball in his arms, then glanced back and slammed the ball from under his crotch to behind him with both hands!
"Snapped!"
After a loud noise, Lin Tian seemed to have eyes behind his head. The basketball hit the ground with a slam, and when it bounced up again, it had already landed in the hands of Wallace who was running down the court.
After Wallace got the ball, he did not try to take credit for it. He passed the ball to Anthony on the other side with both hands in front of his chest. This pass successfully made the Lakers' defense distracted and they had no time to catch up with Anthony. Anthony easily got the ball and made a slam dunk, adding another 2 points for the team!
Still 4 points!
The two sides then fought and struggled for another two minutes, and neither side was able to further narrow or widen the score gap.
Then, as if Mourning had been accumulating energy and waiting for the CD, he finally showed his power again!
He cooperated with Lin Tian, and the two of them surrounded Kobe from the front and back, completely blocking Kobe who rushed into the inside.
Then Mo Ning waved his hand, and there was another crisp sound of "pop"!
Kobe's shot was also blocked!
Lin Tian, who was closest, grabbed the basketball and ran towards the front court at high speed.
Still running towards the Lakers' basket, and still after completely crushing the Lakers' formation, Lin Tian once again threw the ball into the air with great calmness.
This time, the person who stood out from the crowd and jumped high was Wallace. This guy with excellent physical fitness held the basketball with both hands and then slammed it into the basket!
"boom!"
After another loud bang, the gap between the two sides narrowed to 2 points!
"Come on! Let's defend in this round! Then we can overtake the score!" Lin Tian clapped his hands frantically, reminding his teammates to strengthen their defense. They have to rely on defense to make a comeback tonight!
"Leave it to me! Just let those idiots in, I'll teach them a lesson!" After delivering two blood caps, Mourning now had a lot of confidence. He pounded his chest and roared loudly.
come on!
"Do you really think you are still 25 years old?" When the team encountered difficulties, O'Neal naturally came to the inside and reached out for the ball.
The Lakers' outside line passed the ball back and forth several times, and finally succeeded in making the Knicks' messy defense even more chaotic. Then Fisher hit the ground and passed the ball to O'Neal.
After this burst of running and chaos, no one had time to help defend O'Neal, and O'Neal also got a considerable amount of space for a one-on-one challenge.
"Bang! Bang!" It was the same as before. He just used all his strength to attack without any nonsense. O'Neal wanted to let Mourning know how big the gap between them was now!
But what’s different this time is that Mourning held on!
God knows where he got the strength from, and God knows how this guy did it this time, but this time he withstood O'Neal's attack.
For two consecutive times, Mourning did not retreat at all. He clenched his teeth, and all the muscles in his body flexed wildly, pushing O'Neal completely outside the 3-second zone.
"Come on, Shaq! Is this all you can do? Aren't you going to be buried in the ground soon? What's the point of arguing with me!" Seeing that O'Neal did not launch the third attack, Mourning immediately seized the opportunity and sprayed a lot of nonsense at him.
But this is what O'Neal was waiting for!
While Morning was distracted with his mouth open, he immediately exerted force and hit Morning for the third time.
"Oh!"
O'Neal's powerful blow was almost as strong as his full strength. How could Mourning withstand such an impact? He couldn't make a sound at all, and was almost knocked out by O'Neal's full-strength blow.
The bad news is that Mourning lost his defensive position and the energy to continue defending. After all, he had a kidney transplant, which caused his condition and energy to decline significantly.
Now he is not at the same level as O'Neal.
But the good news is that Mourning withstood the first two hits!
He was not hit by O'Neal in one go, and these two shots gave his teammates enough time to assist in defense.
For example, when he blocked O'Neal's third attack and was about to pull up directly, Lin Tian had already arrived again!
When an experienced old devil like Mo Ning saw Lin Tian coming, he had already stood firm, but immediately he looked like he was punched by the air and staggered backwards.
This stumble was crucial.
Incredibly, Mo Ning blocked the referee's view of the baseline, and Lin Tian's slap was also incredibly direct.
"Snapped!"
No one could tell whether the ball hit the basketball or the hand, but the referee didn't see it, so he didn't blow the whistle!
O'Neal looked aggrieved and angry. Judging from his expression, he must have suffered a loss.
Anyway, if you ask O'Neal now, he will definitely cry angrily: "This bastard didn't hit the ball, it all hit my hands!"
Lin Tian looked normal. Having successfully stolen the ball, he was dribbling quickly towards the frontcourt.
Anyway, if you ask Lin Tian now, he will definitely say innocently: "This shot is all on the ball. If it touches O'Neal's hand, I will eat the ball on the spot!"
As for who is right?
The referee didn’t blow the whistle, which means Lin Tian was right!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again. He originally wanted to stop outside the 3-point line and shoot a 3-pointer, but Kirilenko's arm span was so exaggerated that he opened his arms and directly blocked Lin Tian's shooting angle.
This forced Lin Tian to have no way to shoot directly. He could only start, stop, accelerate again, and rush towards the three-point line.
Kirilenko, Prince and Kobe were facing a formidable enemy and simultaneously retreated to the inside, trying to catch up with Lin Tian. However, just as they stepped into the free throw line, they saw the basketball fly out again.
The basketball flew past the ears of three people and arrived outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
There stood Anthony!
After getting the basketball, this guy didn't hesitate, he drew his bow and shot a 3-pointer from an open position!
"Shh!"
After a crisp sound, the Knicks still got the 3 points!
Overtaken!
After the Knicks changed to this lineup, they successfully overtook the score! It took them less than half a quarter to wipe out the 10-point disadvantage!
Although their one-point advantage only lasted for 1 seconds, Kobe quickly overtook them again with a jump shot, but at least both sides were back on the same starting line, and the 20-point disadvantage had become a thing of the past!
The Knicks have emerged from the most difficult situation.
And this time, the Knicks, for the first time ever, actually used defense to change the situation of the game!
For a long time afterwards, both sides were in a stalemate. Neither side could do anything to the other, and neither side could widen the score.
The two sides fought back and forth from the second half of the first quarter to the second half of the second quarter! (End of this chapter)
