Although the Knicks defeated the Magic and the Celtics, the outside world still believes that the Knicks are a weak team.

The reason is that the Knicks' tactics are too extreme and they are taking a detour.

The Knicks basically gave up the inside and mainly played on the outside in the entire line, with fewer rebounding and secondary offense than their opponents. In the eyes of many critics, this play is extremely unstable and dangerous.

In other words, this is a team with extremely low downlines.

The Lakers have superstars like Kobe on the outside, but they are still an inside team in essence. The three towers in the inside are difficult for the Knicks to overcome, so many critics before the battle believed that the Knicks would lose!

But when the game started, people realized that it was not that simple.

The Lakers' performance is still good, especially the inside, where Bynum and Gasol break through the Knicks' inside.

Fisher's outcome had little impact on the Lakers, and Kobe was not obsessed with singles. Instead, he found Gasol and Bynum in the inside. Jeffries and Garlinari could not withstand it at all. Gasol and Bynum scored one after another.

On the rebound, the Lakers grabbed 14 more rebounds than the Knicks in the first half, and many of them were frontcourt rebounds.

But the Lakers did not widen the gap.

The problem lies in defense.

At the beginning, the Lakers' defense was mainly to defend the inside, and the team shrank within the three-point line. Bynum and Gasol simply let go of Garlinari and Jeffries, but as Garlinari and Jeffries made three-pointers in the corner, they forced them to go out.

So Zhou Mubai left a paint area as wide as the sea!

Vujasic could not defend Zhou Mubai, so Kobe volunteered to come over to defend.

Then Kobe found that he could not defend Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai's combination of shots and passes is changing. Even if Kobe wants to use his body to suppress it, it is useless. Zhou Mubai is not afraid of physical confrontation. On the contrary, he likes it very much - as long as he goes to the body, it is a good opportunity to break through.

Many fans don’t like physical confrontation when playing basketball and are afraid of pressing tightly. In fact, the more pressing tightly, the better the chance of breaking through.

Kobe couldn't defend himself, Artest came on.

Artest's defensive effect is actually worse than Jasic. Artest is suitable for defending players like James. He is too slow against breakouts like Mu Bai last week!

In the first half, Zhou Mubai scored 34 points and 7 assists!

Lakers fans were in a daze.

They knew that Zhou Mubai was very strong, but they didn't know how strong it was, because Zhou Mubai was a Lakers player before, so they couldn't feel this deeply.

But when Zhou Mubai became an opponent, they really felt it - when Zhou Mubai received the ball, they couldn't help but tremble!

Zhou Mubai scored 34 points, 20 of which were obtained at the basket, 8 points were obtained through free throws, and only two three-pointers were obtained.

It can be said that the Lakers' defense at the basket has been broken.

Lakers fans watched Zhou Mubai go in and out of the Lakers' penalty area and draw back and forth. The Lakers had no other way except to make an irresistible sound of Shen Yin!

Zhou Mubai is like a demon holding a death sickle, reaping life wantonly.

Vujasic, Kobe, and Artest all took turns to defend Zhou Mubai, but no one could defend him. The Lakers' proud defense became a joke.

The Lakers' inside line performed well on the offensive end, but they were exhausted on the defensive end, making three-pointers, three-pointers were like rain, defending three-pointers, and the inside line was empty!

Zhou Mubai's breakthrough and passes made the Lakers unable to find a way to deal with it. The Lakers often use the three inside players to block the opponent's space. Under such an attack, it seems extremely heavy, just like a heavy truck and a sports car playing on a trail with agile and clumsy speed.

The stronger Zhou Mubai performs, the more hated Lakers fans. They hate the Lakers for losing their future. When cursing Kupchek, they also hate Zhou Mubai.

"I think... this game may make the Lakers reflect on themselves and what they have lost. What the Lakers have lost is not only the future, but also the present!

I have an interesting idea. If the Knicks and the Lakers enter the Finals at the same time next season... haha, what a wonderful scene it would be if the Knicks beat the Lakers!" Mark Jackson smiled.

Van Gundy Jr. smiled and said, "Why isn't this season?"

Mike Bryn and Mark Jackson smiled at each other: "orge    on, how is that possible!"

It is indeed impossible. No one can let go of his mind, and it is impossible to imagine that the Knicks can enter the finals and defeat the Lakers. Now the Knicks can beat the Celtics and play comparable to the Lakers, but this is only the regular season.

The regular season and the playoffs are two different games.

Strength, intensity, concentration, and importance are completely different.

NBA's star detection methods include...ah, of course there is more than one method, but the most important one is to prove yourself in the playoffs.

No matter how good your regular season data is, your performance can destroy the city, but if you cannot prove yourself in the playoffs, congratulations, you will be awarded the honorary title of regular season player!

Van Gundy probably thought so too, so he just smiled.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers did not know what happened in the locker room, or because the emotions of the fans were intensifying, the Lakers players' actions became stronger and stronger, and the anger on both sides became stronger and stronger.

Larry Hughes made a layup during a fast break and was turned to the ground by Bynum. Larry Hughes got up and wanted to fight Bynum, but was pulled away by Jeffries and Garynalli.

The referee is also interesting. This kind of action that looks like a violation of the body is not even watching the video, and he directly gave an ordinary foul. The Knicks bench was in an uproar.

So the Knicks' movements became bigger. Bynum made a strong rebound at the basket and was slapped in the face by Garlinari, and even the nosebleed was bleeding.

Bynum wanted to rush over to beat Garlinari, Zhou Mubai appeared between the two at the right time, looked up at Bynum, and Bynum suddenly felt relieved, and his arm said that it was still hurting now.

With the referee's indulgence, the fans are constantly raising fire, the players are getting more and more active, and the anger is accumulating.

Even the three espns were worried about a large-scale fight.

"If the referee doesn't cool down the game, I'm afraid it will turn into a fight later." Van Gundy said worriedly.

Mike Bryn nodded: "The game with anger and topic is indeed more exciting, but it must be controlled well. This requires a high level of ability for the referee. If the referee cannot suppress it, he will become a full martial arts in a while."
