NBA: No. 1 Forward

"brush!"

Although Wilson Chandler worked hard to defend, he still couldn\'t prevent Kobe\'s picturesque fadeaway jumper.

Helplessly leaking a wry smile, Lian Dao stepped forward and patted Chandler on the shoulder: "You have done a good job, just guard against him like this, keep the intensity, and leave the rest to me!"

Chandler nodded seriously.

To be honest, Lian Dao was drooling watching Kobe\'s low-post, back-up, and fade-away jumper, it was so delicious.

No way, a person often wants to have something when he has nothing. Lian Dao is like this. He has no mid-range shot and his low post scoring ability is not stable, so he is also envious of Kobe\'s fadeaway jumper and low post singles.

Here, Lian Dao received a pass from Chris Duhon, dribbled the ball quickly, and started the fastest first step, breaking through Artest\'s defense. Artest was shocked. He didn\'t expect Lian Dao\'s speed to be so fast. Quickly move your feet to catch up.

Lian Dao slammed on the brakes and dribbled the ball under his crotch, directly flying away Artest\'s pursuit, then stepped back to the three-point line, shot with a bow, and made a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Lian Dao returned a three-pointer.

Lian Dao looked at Kobe.

"Interesting!" Kobe licked his lips, and Lian Dao\'s response to the ball aroused his competitive spirit.

So in the next round, he also made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Lian Dao returned a three-pointer with a step-back step. Lian Dao\'s three-pointer with a step-back step can be said to be hard to defend against. There are many changes between quick starts and stops.

Artest also didn\'t expect this rookie to be so difficult to defend, he was like a loach, whenever he wanted to fight physically, he could always let him use his flexible dribble to dodge.

In this way, the game in the first four minutes of the first quarter became a one-on-one match between Lian Dao and Kobe.

The singles attack of you come and go is enjoyable, and the Staples fans continue to applaud the wonderful goals.

And the Lakers have always maintained the lead through a strong lineup.

Until, the Knicks suddenly accelerated their offensive speed, grabbed rebounds one after another, and evened the score through a quick defensive counterattack.

At this time, the Zen master was watching from the sidelines and did not stop him. Phil Jackson\'s main tactic is the triangle offense. He generally does not intervene too much in the offense on the court. He likes to let the players solve the problems on the court. He will call a timeout.

Although the score was equalized by the Knicks, in Zen Master\'s view, the situation on the court has not lost control and is still under control.

In the first quarter, at 6 minutes and 14 seconds, Artest made a pass error and was intercepted by Lian Dao. The Knicks immediately launched a quick counterattack. Finally, he had stepped into the three-point line of the Lakers, and there was no need to adjust the dribble at all. After taking two steps, Chandler jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket.

The Knicks\' offense was as fast as thunder. From steal to dunk, this offense only took three seconds.

It can be said that the attack was completed before everyone on the scene could react.

18:16.

The Knicks, this counterattack led the Lakers again.

Lian Dao and the excited Chandler bumped shoulders to celebrate, and other Knicks players also looked excited.

The Zen master couldn\'t sit still at this time, and immediately called a timeout.

Just after halfway through the first quarter, Lian Dao scored 9 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and made 3 of 5 three-pointers. The efficiency is also quite high.

The reason why Zen Master called a timeout was not that the Knicks had a two-point advantage, but that the Lakers fell into the rhythm of the Knicks. The Knicks fully implemented D\'Antoni\'s running and bombing tactics.

Therefore, the Knicks\' offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, and their shooting speed and passing speed are very fast.

The Lakers were also led by the Knicks to play fast breaks in these two minutes, and they also wanted to make quick offensive and defensive transitions like the Knicks.

Then the Lakers insiders Paul and Bynum couldn\'t get the ball at all. You can only see the Lakers\' outside line starting to throw around, and their two inside lines followed.

Running and bombing with the Knicks is what Knicks players like to see most.

Sure enough, the Lakers, who broke the rhythm, were attacked by the Knicks one after another, until they overtook the score this time.

After the timeout, Kobe didn\'t say a word either. He knew something went wrong. The Zen Master nodded when he saw Kobe\'s appearance. The timeout was not in vain.

He called this timeout to let Kobe understand where the problem is. This is what he often does in the Bulls. Only by letting the players understand the problem can they find a better solution to the problem.

This is also Zen master\'s luck. Whether he is in the Bulls or the Lakers, he has met a core player with an online IQ. If he encounters a Yumu Gada head, it is estimated that no matter how many timeouts he calls, it will not work. He cannot understand The Zen master\'s old monk enters meditation.

After Kobe knew the problem at this time, he adjusted it in time, and once the Lakers got back on track, it would not be very friendly to the Knicks.

The Knicks are really at a disadvantage when playing positional warfare. The main reason is that they have no advantage inside and can only play pick-and-roll cooperation or breakout tactics. Most likely a mistake.

However, the Lakers currently have one person who is restricted to death, and that is Artest. He was defended by Lian Dao without scoring a point. The harsh words at the beginning did not expect to be fulfilled by himself.

The continuous offense could not get rid of Lian Dao\'s defense, and Lian Dao had been intercepted twice in a row.

Artest can be described as extremely embarrassed today.

With 2 minutes before the end of the first quarter, Lian Dao grabbed a defensive rebound over Artest\'s head. Artest immediately entangled it and tried to take advantage of Lian Dao\'s unstable foothold to make a steal, but he Unable to stop Lian Dao, who moved like a rabbit at all, he turned around to get rid of the entanglement, and then the Knicks once again narrowed the score difference.

Although Artest did not perform well, Kobe who calmed down was like his title "Black Mamba", always finding the weak link of the Knicks and giving the Knicks a fatal blow.

With other teammates being strictly guarded, it was difficult for the Knicks to get better offensive opportunities. Lian Dao could only use his personal ability, which was not a particularly good opportunity to shoot, and the Knicks scored intermittently.

At 33 seconds, Kobe also received an offensive rebound from Paul Gasol, and then passed it to Kobe on the outside. Kobe made another jumper and hit a three-pointer on the head of Chandler, who was unable to defend~www .mtlnovel.com~ This is Kobe\'s second three-pointer, and he seems to have returned to the touch he had at the beginning of the game.

This time, the Lakers also extended their lead to 9 points.

Only one point away, the Lakers are leading in double figures.

Next, Lian Dao also handed the ball to Chris Duhon, and then ran without the ball. After many times of covering by his teammates, Lian Dao finally found a chance. , take off, aim, shoot, hit!

A whole set of actions is completed quickly.

Lian Dao also fought back, closing the deficit to 6 points again.

Next, in the Lakers\' final attack, Kobe made an outside shot. After being noticed by Lian Dao, he made up the defense in time. Kobe missed the shot when he raised his shot.

The first quarter of the game is over.

At 29:35, after the Lakers adjusted back in time, they turned out to be unstoppable. Lian Dao and the others were really hard to resist under the situation of internal and external linkage, and the Knicks\' shooting percentage also dropped sharply under the tight defense of the Lakers.

In the end, the Knicks ended the first quarter behind by 6 points.

Lian Dao scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the first quarter, Wilson Chandler scored 4 points and 1 rebound, Millsap scored 5 points and 4 rebounds, David Lee scored 5 points and 5 rebounds, Chris Duhon Got 2 points and 3 assists.

Millsap still suffered a bit when facing Gasol. The 2.13-meter Gasol has a great height advantage. Although he lacks confrontation, he is better than flexible. , was also risked twice by Gasol.

Kobe scored a game-high 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. In the first quarter of the game, Lian Dao was not at a disadvantage in terms of personal data.
