After two more rounds, Mohammed left Diop to double-team Yao Ming. The effect was good. Yao Ming took the ball. It was not too late for him to turn around and defend Diop. The latter had no mid-range shooting ability and could only hit the basket. .

Marbury made a three-pointer and Sprewell made a mid-range shot. The difference between the two sides narrowed to 24 to 22.

Yang Rui immediately made a substitution, and Iguodala came on the scene to replace Diop, leading the first team to the fourth team player. The Lakers turned into a hybrid defense, with four man-to-man defense, breakthroughs, and outside shooting. Yao Ming himself was responsible for guarding the penalty area on the bottom line.

The Lakers suddenly strengthened their defense on the outside. The Knicks players shot hard one after another. Thomas had height and weight advantages at the 4th position. He couldn't attack in the low post and couldn't beat Iguodala. Yao Ming grabbed 4 backcourt rebounds in a row.

On the offensive end, Iguodala went out to catch the ball and made a mid-range shot. During the counterattack, he passed Thomas with the ball and dunked, scoring 4 points in a row.

In the last three minutes, the Knicks guarded against Yao Ming, and Kobe took over the game. He first scored a mid-range shot, then broke through twice and drew fouls, making 3 of 4 free throws.

At 1 minute, Kobe broke through and attracted Muhammad to cover the middle of the defense. He assisted Yao for a one-handed dunk, and the point difference widened again.

In the last attack, Kobe pressed time on the outside and faced the "Madman" in the middle and hit a three-pointer in zero seconds.

38 to 28, the Lakers took the lead on the road.

Zhang Lili exposed the statistics, and some couldn't believe his eyes: "Yao Ming played the entire first quarter, scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. He scored more than many people in a whole game. Several important statistics are possible. Broken personal record.”

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Yao Ming took a breath. He wanted to prove himself in front of Larry Brown most. I think the old Knicks can start to consider firing Brown now, but there are still three years left on his contract. The Knicks are going to lose a lot of money doing this."

Yang Rui sent out an attacking lineup in the second quarter, including Mo Williams, Ariza, Iguodala, Odom, and Rasheed.

"Go on a fast break when you have the chance, try to complete an offense in 5 seconds, and increase the number of rounds. Play pick-and-rolls in the middle, pay attention to air cuts on the baseline, and actively fight for offensive rebounds. Defense... you have to figure it out, against the Knicks. It doesn’t matter if the bad team doesn’t defend, I don’t blame you, I’m just afraid that they will lose too quickly.”

Most of the players laughed. The two new assistants, Brooks and Hollins, opened their mouths like Enel after striking Luffy with lightning and finding it ineffective...

Hollins asked Hornacek next to him: "Am I hallucinating? Did he just say that it doesn't matter if he doesn't defend?"

"Well, you just get used to it. He often says such nonsense. Don't you think the team's morale is stronger?" Hornacek said with a smile.

Brooks sighed: "It's obviously out of tune, but now I really have a lot of confidence in the team to win the championship."

The assistant coach felt this way, and the players' confidence was even more intense. Yang Rui's words will not make them really give up defense, but just reduce pressure.

In basketball games, the more relaxed the players are, the easier it is for them to perform well. This is the true meaning of happy basketball. When Yang Rui was with the Raptors, he was good at relieving pressure on players and allowing them to play boldly.

On the Knicks side, Brown is just the opposite. His way of coaching players is rigorous, just like being a soldier in a military camp. He has arranged everything for everyone. For example, he asked Tim Thomas to shoot from the left corner. If he went to the right without permission, Brown would not be happy even if he made the shot because it was not "the right way to play."

Brown regards what he thinks is right as the truth, and he will try every means to convince others. Anyone who thinks differently from him is incorrect and heresy in his opinion.

Well, in fact, he is a severe case of chuunibyou. It is normal for this kind of coach to always have conflicts with stars and management and finally leave.

In the second quarter, the Knicks traded Yao Ming for Medvedenko and Kareem Rush, who played in a mess.

Last season, Medvedenko and Odom were teammates. He moved slowly and couldn't guard Odom one-on-one. During the Lakers' training, he was often taught how to behave.

Rush has good physical fitness;

His shooting has always been inaccurate. After arriving in the Knicks, he was judged by Brown as "too lazy" in the training camp. He gained a bad reputation and his future was dark. He couldn't get away from Ariza, which was disappointing.

Hardaway is also old. He was blocked by Iguodala and couldn't score. He could only shoot at people and was severely interfered with.

The Lakers counterattacked quickly, and the Knicks' substitute speed was at a disadvantage.

Backup point guard Mookie Norris is a defensive colander. This is why Larry Brown has conflicts with Marbury and must reuse him. There is not even a qualified substitute at the No. 1 position.

After playing only 3 minutes, the point difference widened to 22 points, and Larry Brown had to be replaced as a substitute in advance.

At this time, Hollins and Brooks felt that Yang Rui was amazing. Maybe he was really afraid that the Lakers' substitutes would be too strong and win too easily, so he said those words. A big victory would affect Yao Ming's statistics.

Six minutes later, Yang Rui replaced Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant for a pick-and-roll. The Knicks couldn't guard against this move, and Ben Wallace couldn't do anything. If he didn't switch to guard Kobe, Kobe would break through or make a one-step jumper. Switch to guard Kobe and distribute the ball to the middle. Yao Ming has no solution when he gets to the basket, and he can also shoot from the middle.

In this quarter, Yao Ming made 2 of 5 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. In the half, he scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. These are the statistics of a super center.

Kobe made 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 1 from three-point range, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 steal. His statistics were not bad either. The Lakers lead 71 to 45.

The Lakers players were asked not to defend, but the Knicks only scored 17 points in this quarter.

For a team like the Knicks that relies on outside players to score, it will be difficult for them to score as long as there are four swingmen on the court taking turns to interfere with shots at any time. This is caused by the inability of inside players to open up space, and Brown is directly responsible.

During halftime, Brown ran to the locker room to teach the players and taught them "the correct way to play." The main scorers Marbury and Sprewell were too lazy to talk to each other, and the team's morale was low.

Seeing everyone's laziness, Brown yelled at the players. He didn't want to lose a big score at home.

His position in the team is in jeopardy, as the boss already distrusted him last season.

He doesn't care how long he can be a coach with the Knicks, nor does he care about his annual salary. What he cares about most now is his own face.

In the second half, the Knicks put on their starting lineup, the best lineup.

Yang Rui sent Jones, Hoiberg, Diaw, Cook, and Yao Ming, and all the players on the 12-man roster appeared.

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Yao Ming brings four substitutes. I really hope the Knicks can recover some points. If the entire second half is garbage time, then the game will be boring. Yao Ming will not play too long. He Today we can definitely get 40+10 data or even higher, and Kobe's playing time was too short, only 18 minutes."

Zhang Lijia said: "I think Yang Rui is afraid that the starting players will be injured, so he has reservations. He and Brown don't like each other. The whole world knows that if Brown gets angry and jumps over the wall and arranges rough fouls to hurt people, the Lakers will lose more than they gain." ”

Zhang's reasonable explanation made the Chinese fans in front of the TV very happy, but some Kobe fans expressed dissatisfaction and hoped that their idol would continue to play. With the U.S. team in the Olympics so bad and Brown not jumping over the wall, Yang Rui's worries seemed unnecessary.

Of course, the fans' worries are unnecessary. How could Yang Rui be polite to Brown?

There are three defensive holes in this lineup, and the Knicks are not going to defend them...
