Seeing that there was no hope of getting a foul, the madman immediately got up and ran back.

Although Starks is short, he is definitely a tough guy and not easy to chew.

The gorilla captain didn't even jump, he just stood under the basket with his arms raised, waiting for the madman to hit him.

The Lakers suddenly showed strength in the third quarter and almost tore the Knicks to pieces!

At this time, the arrogant fans stopped talking.

The kind of outside pressure defense the Lakers just played is also difficult to sustain for a whole game.

But Starks kept Riley's teachings of playing the ball quickly in mind, so he still chose to pass the ball in a hurry.

He will restart Shai and the Madman's pressing defense in the third quarter and suddenly grab the opponent's throat!

If you continue to defend with high pressure in the first quarter, even if you lead by more than ten points in the first quarter, others will still have time to recover the score.

In the Eastern Conference Finals half a year ago, he led the whole team to fight the Bulls in six bloody games. The brothers gave their all and failed to win.

This time, Shea pressed hard on Harper.

Back in the locker room, everyone on the Lakers team was still very relaxed.

"Hey Spike, you cheered. Where was your energy in the first half? Without your voice, I wouldn't have any energy to play."

But it didn't matter. Ewing thought about jumping up and catching the ball.

Riley had already figured out Carlisle's routine, but when he knew it, the 9-point difference was already weighing on his head.

In the defensive round just now, Starks fired from outside the three-point line.

At this time, seeing that the Madman was having trouble in singles, Shea and Barkley were already raising their hands to ask for the ball.

For example, if Madonna doesn't lock the door, no matter how powerful she is, she can't let Shay experience the feeling of ascending to heaven.

If the defending champions continue like this, they will probably lose their first game of the new season."

Anthony also had a famous scene where he defended Kobe and made it difficult for him to catch the ball.

"Go to hell Shay, you're only 1 point ahead."

After so many rounds, how many times did the Knicks play positional defense?

The entire Knicks team, or in other words, the entire Madison Square Garden, could only stare at No. 23 and stab it with a knife.

But in the third quarter, when the opponent was already complacent and accustomed to the rhythm of the first half.

Madman also hates the arrogant Starks, so this time he gave himself a little freedom and chose to fight his opponent in singles!

Sprewell then imitated Jordan, holding the ball with one hand, and then suddenly accelerated to break through.

Feizhu was actually not having a bad attitude just now, but he was really exhausted!

If you take this flying pig that starts panting after moving a few times and throw it into the triple overtime of last season's finals.

Carlisle looked at the two of them, and then at the assistant coach Thibodeau beside him:

"Tell Shay and Madman it's time to eat fish!"

Charles Barkley's status is also very problematic.

Soon you will see the terrifying power of this new pair of outside pliers!

As the second half of the game was about to begin, Shay walked up to Barkley and poked the Flying Pig with his elbow:

"Charles, I can't control how you sleepwalked in the first half.

After Shay ran to the frontcourt, he did not continue to stare straight ahead, but turned to look at Spike Lee on the sidelines.

The reason why the Knicks' defense is so abnormal throughout history is because this well-disciplined team can maintain their desperate defense for 48 minutes!

Although the offensive rebound was taken away, the Flying Pigs were standing in front of Oakley at the time and did not lose their position.

Of course, even if you are lucky enough to escape the wolf, you still have to be careful about wild boars.

He would not let the team defend desperately all the time, but put the time to crush the opponent in the third quarter!

As for the first half, you just need to play the regular way.

No matter how strong your abilities are, they must be given opportunities to show off before they can be effective.

The poor Robinson was completely reduced to the gorilla's plaything because of Flying Pig's NTR complex.

It seems that he didn't feel the pressure of being "suppressed" in the commentator's words at all.

Riley thought his strategy of releasing the ball quickly was successful, but this was not the case.

But the moment the Madman caught the basketball, Starks, who was actively double-teaming Shay, immediately blocked it back.

There is no doubt that it is a flying pig in the sky!

After scoring, Shea deliberately glanced at Spike Lee in the first row: "Why don't you stop making trouble?"

Although it is impossible to start an attack directly in this way,...

Anyway, there is no one to help defend yourself.

So after the first quarter, Riley was ecstatic to find that the Knicks came from behind and ended the first quarter with a 5-point advantage!

Sure enough, it’s useless to just start strong, persistence is the key!

This sudden reversal caught Knicks fans off guard.

Sure enough, after returning from the timeout, the Knicks' offense instantly became smoother.

Shay rolled his eyes at Barkley, I really don't know how he could say it!

While the two were chatting, an electronic buzzer sounded and the referee signaled the Lakers to serve a baseline kick.

Starks finally got rid of the defense and came out, but he was a step slower due to the madman's entanglement.

Now for the rest of the time, Starks has no chance to pass the ball.

After completing the block, the madman did not chase the ball, but stood there with his back to the frontcourt and raised his arms in advance!

He is celebrating his goal in advance!

And when he passes the ball to his teammates, the defender can immediately make up for it.

Harper couldn't get the ball to Ewing, so he passed the ball to Starks, the other ballhandler.

If the Lakers didn't have more players last season, they probably wouldn't be able to beat the Bulls.

Only then did the Knicks realize that Shay had already passed half court!

The basket made a loud noise, causing Spike Lee in the front row to tremble.

Ewing repeatedly passed the ball to Thunder and assisted him in shooting.

Because this ball was passed too casually, the angle was not very good, it was passed too high, and it was also passed too slowly.

Therefore, completing perfect defense in just a few rounds and maintaining stable defense for five minutes, a quarter or even the entire game are two completely different concepts.

Shay and Sprewell hit the door with both hands!

These two desperate outside powerhouses did not give the Knicks any hope until the end of the third quarter!

Although he still scored 11 points in the first half of the game, he did almost nothing on the defensive end.

A madman looks at it and wonders, what's so difficult about this? Don't I know how to dunk?

So, Sprewell imagined that he was possessed by Shay and Jordan, stumbling and taking off towards Ewing without gaining speed!

The fans were so excited, and the Knicks players were even more irritated.

The Knicks, who abused Jordan on defense last season, were abused by the Lakers' defense this season!

Fortunately, the Knicks' offensive rhythm was not fast, so the Madmen could barely catch up with the defense.

The Lakers just want to force the Knicks to make mistakes, even in the last few seconds!

Harper knew very well that if he was completely trapped, he would not be able to pass the ball, let alone shoot in the last few seconds.

Starks' bad pass was taken by Barkley and he was waiting for an opportunity to help defend and steal it!

Seeing this scene, Shay smiled happily.

Shay never knew that he still had so many "fans" in New York.

"Champion of Luck, it's just luck!"

But Shay and Madman were gearing up and looking impatient.

Otherwise, the score will probably get bigger and bigger.

As long as he keeps hitting the ball quickly, he will definitely not fall into the Lakers' attack.

Both sides can eat pig-killing rice immediately after the fight!

In the second half, when Shea led his team onto the court, the Knicks fans were as arrogant as if they had already won the championship.

Carlisle sat on the bench with peace of mind, and the next step was to enjoy this perfect massacre!

Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks struggled to survive.
