Backbite!

The whistle blew and the second quarter of the game began quickly.

In order to protect Andrew Bynum's knee, Phil Jackson did not let him continue to play in the second quarter, but instead adopted a small-ball lineup with Lamar Odom in the center position and Luke Wharton as the number four.

When Phil Jackson pitched this lineup, the Lakers' mobility immediately increased dramatically.

They began to be able to keep up with the Knicks in a defensive cadence. And when the Lakers' defense does not lose position, the Nixton, who has not strictly practiced the rapid seven-second offensive tactics before, has lost the rhythm of the offense, especially the two rookies.

This led to the Knicks' lack of smoothness on the offensive end.

But... When the third minute of the second quarter went on, the Knicks only scored three points on 1-of-5 shooting. Dugg changed his strategy, and in the face of the defense of UCLA senior Jordan Farmal, he did not leave any emotion. A change of direction outside the three-point line, followed by a straight line of acceleration...... Like a running elk, it flashed directly by Famar's side!

Although Jordan Farmar already knows that his junior is not what he used to be, he is already far faster than he was last season.

But... When Snoopy flashed past him, he still felt a huge sense of powerlessness.

By the time he turned back to pursue, Snoopy was already in the paint zone. Luke Wharton tried to intercept outside the reasonable impact zone, but ...... Bang! Shout!

Snoopy quickly made an extremely realistic Buddha-worshipping pass in front of him, although the speed of action was not as sharp as Wade Iverson's, but... It's enough to deceive Luke Wharton. When he strode past Luke Wharton and broke into the basket, he had no more defense in front of him, and he jumped with ease and dunked with both hands...... Rumble!

Dugg started his first athletic battle score of the night with a two-handed dunk!

And the moment he completed the violent buckle, the three duchess girls let out loud cheers almost at the same time.

When they stood up in unison, they raised their hands and cheered.

It instantly became a beautiful and special scenery in Staples Arena.

TNT's camera quickly switched to them.

"As long as it's a Snoopy game, we always have to have a camera." Charles Barkley joked on TV: "No one knows which Hollywood actress will suddenly stand up and shout long live the Duke." ”

It's part of his job, and he's not a traditional play-by-play narrator.

Earl Johnson, on the other hand, frowned, and he carefully analyzed the slow motion of Dug's goal just now: "Snoopy's dunk is very representative. His speed was on perfect display. At the same time, however, we can notice that his speed does not increase dramatically when he changes direction. But... Snoopy's mental prowess makes up for it, and his whimsical way of passing matches his speed. I don't think there's anyone smarter in the NBA than him when it comes to 'tricks'. ”

"What is certain is that as his speed increases, his ability to score under the basket will increase dramatically."

While Earl Johnson made this analysis, Kobe Bryant was also colored in the frontcourt. He singled out Wesley Matthews' defense and hit a pullup jumper.

Back to it. Dugg attacked Jordan Farmar again.

Jordan Farmar was well prepared this time, and he didn't want to give Dug another chance to make a surprise attack.

He believes that part of the last defensive failure was caused by his own carelessness, and if he was given another chance, he would definitely be able to limit Duger.

But.

When Dugg landed in front of him, he realized that things were not so simple.

When Snoopy lowered his tempo and let four of his teammates spread out for a one-on-one singles, Jordan Farmar immediately felt the overwhelming pressure.

Bang!

Dugg hit the floor with his first dribble, and he took a quick step to the left, his speed was no longer what it used to be, and it instantly sent Jordan Farmar's defense backwards.

While Jordan Famar retreated, Duke Snoopy seized the time difference and completed the change of direction. At the same time, the pace is still sharp when you step to the right.

This caused Jordan Farmar to fall in and out defensively.

When he finally moved his defensive footsteps sideways...... Shout!

Snoopy, who had been ready for a long time, spun his back and left Mr. Famar's defense behind.

In this regard, Farmar could only sigh at the wind: Snoopy is really not what it used to be.

After passing Jordan Farmar, Dugg landed on the beach before Luke Wharton could move over to make up the fence, and he took off three steps later...... Rumble!

Another violent buckle!

There was an uproar at Staples Arena.

This took them by surprise.

Lakers fans never dreamed that Dugg would go straight to the restricted area twice, and it was in the form of a violent dunk. Needless to say, this is a trampling on the entire defensive system of the Lakers.

In the uproar, the three duchess girls stood up again and cheered.

Obviously, they have been waiting for such a collective appearance.

The three of them appeared here tonight, originally with the idea of announcing to some women that they had reached an offensive and defensive alliance.

Previously, Dugg had not performed on the scoring end, and Justin Bieber next to him repeatedly made provocative remarks, which made them unable to stand up.

But now, two violent dunks in a row have become the best reason for them to show.

"From this moment on, it can at least be announced that Snoopy has become a breakthrough master in the top 20 of the league."

Earl Johnson said: "Snoopy perfectly combines his pace with his dribbling skills. Although we can see that his change of direction speed, traverse speed, and even turn speed are not as good as those of Dwyane Wade, the top breakthrough masters. However, his skill and imagination obscure these things, and he is extremely good at tricks. When a gorgeous master of ball control has amazing straight-line speed. There's no way you can't help but include him in the Breakthrough Master sequence. ”

Earl Johnson gave Dugg a very high rating.

In fact, Phil Jackson's brow was also tightly furrowed at this time, and the situation the Lakers are facing now makes him a little anxious.

With Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum both on the pitch and Snoopy's breakthrough ability suddenly improving, Luke Wharton and Lamar Odom simply couldn't support the penalty area defense.

'It's time for us to make some changes defensively.' Assistant coach Texwinter, who followed Phil Jackson to 10 championships, told Phil Jackson next to him.

In fact, whenever the game gets into a moment like this, he reminds the old partner.

Phil Jackson glanced at the bench with a frown. He shook his head.

He knew it would be an immediate choice to replace Bynum to fill the box. But now that Bynum has just returned from injury, he doesn't want Bynum to play more than 20 minutes tonight.

"Let Ron Artest try it?" Winter advises: "Artest is excellent at lateral movement and physical confrontation, and his physical confrontation is good enough to cause problems for Snoopy. ”

Phil Jackson did not respond. It's a trade-off choice. Ron Artest's past defense of Snoopy will indeed limit Dug's offense to some extent, at least not as an ATM like Jordan Farmar. But at the same time, Artest went to the top of the arc to defend the No. 1 position, who was the flank handed over?

Eventually, Jackson sat there.

He didn't change any tactics.

Let Snoopy keep attacking the box.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant carried the whole court.

The two fought in the air, and one was possessed by killing the god at a medium distance. One in the paint area is on the cutting edge!

The scores of the two teams also rose alternately in the soaring points of the two.

This is very much in line with Phil Jackson's psychological expectations, and that's what he wants. He wanted to see Dug's offensive logic in this way, while also giving Andrew Bynum more rest and making his emotions more positive.

Jackson is a very good mental master, and he is very good at manipulating the psychology of his players. Crazy as Dennis Rodman is also obedient to his management, and Andrew Bynum is not a problem with a little hairy head.

Throughout the second quarter, Bynum approached him at least three times and told him he was going to play and to limit Snoopy's wild under the basket.

But Phil Jackson's answer was always: stay calm, take a good look at his breakthrough logic, and I'll give you a chance.

These deliberate repressions made Bynum more and more eager to fight.

In fact, Ron Artest also made more than one look at Phil Jackson, saying that he was going to change Snoopy.

However, Phil Jackson did not allow it.

He's 'raising wolves', and he wants these two players to build up enough anger and momentum before they face Snoopy.

Based on this situation, once the two sides meet, they will definitely exert even 12% of their strength, thus defeating Snoopy in one fell swoop.

And once Snoopy is controlled, the outcome of this game will be completely out of suspense.

Phil Jackson is very good at doing this kind of 'psychological intervention'.

And, the success rate is very high.

However, he had forgotten something else tonight.

That's... While he feeds the 'wrath' of Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum, Snoopy is also gaining the soil for rapid progress.

He didn't have a long time mastering 'speed', and it didn't integrate perfectly with his own skills. And Phil Jackson indulged Snoopy in the process, because of Kobe Bryant's existence. This indulgence gave him a hundredfold the effect of private training. He constantly honed his skills through the Lakers' defense, allowing all the technical moves and speed to connect quickly and form a whole.

The halftime whistle blew as Kobe Bryant missed the shot at the buzzer.

68：68。

The two sides were again tied in the first half. And, both sides had frighteningly high half-time scores.

And Kobe Bryant scored 26 points in the second quarter, setting a single-quarter scoring record this season.

It is worth mentioning that Snoopy also scored 15 points in a single quarter.

Four of them were dunks, two layups, plus three free throws.

In other words, all of his points come from the basket.

"I seem to see the red wine of '82 beckoning to me!"

Charles Barkley was triumphant at halftime, and he didn't expect Snoopy to score 15 points in the quarter and 19 in the half tonight.

"I think you should be cautiously optimistic. I don't think the Lakers will give Snoopy a chance to continue scoring easily under the basket in the second half. Earl Johnson poured a basin of cold water on Charles Barkley.

At this time, TNT's sideline reporters interviewed Andrew Bynum on the sidelines.

Bynum had a very good first quarter, but he was discarded in the second quarter.

This made the reporters on the sidelines very curious, when he asked about it.

Bynum's expression was clearly dissatisfied: "It was the manager's decision. All I can do is follow his advice. But if I get a chance to play in the second half, I'll definitely prove to the coaching staff that I'm fit. At the same time, let Snoopy know that the Lakers' restricted area is not his back garden. ”

"So, you're going to give him some blocks under the basket?" The reporter raised an eyebrow and asked deliberately.

"I promise there won't be just one!" Bynum gritted his teeth, he looked convinced!
