Unlike Andrew Bynum and Snoopy, the Black Mamba's anger came from the fact that the team actually gave the Knicks the lead in the third quarter.

"I don't see a little bit of positivity in you!"

Kobe Bryant was furious on the bench, angry eyes wandering around. "You're letting those rookies take what they want? I've never seen such a stupid defense!! ”

His anger ran rampant.

Although everyone is used to it, the faces of the Lakers players are gradually serious and upright.

As the defending champion, being beaten like this by the Knicks, who are now ranked ninth in the East, is indeed shameless to say.

Phil Jackson took over the tactics board, and he began to lay out his tactics.

His face remained calm, and his pace of speech was not anything unusual. Just silently raise the level of defensive tactics.

He is better at capturing, energizing, controlling and exploiting the emotions of his players than any other top manager. He knows that emotions can be of vital importance as soon as they are unleashed in a game.

In the third quarter, he tried to stir up the belligerence of Artest and Bynum, and let them limit Snoopy, who played well in the second quarter.

However, the cunning Snoopy gave up the attack altogether in the third quarter, and he continued to thread the needle and use his strategy and organization to open up the team's offensive firepower.

This was much beyond the Zen master's expectations, and he did not expect that Snoopy would be able to carry out what he should do without being disturbed by the emotions of his opponent.

And in the second quarter, he played bravely, and he didn't have the slightest intention of continuing to be in the limelight when he broke through under the basket, and he silently acted as the Knicks' mirror man, secretly manipulating the overall situation.

Normally, this requires extreme mental control, like Tim Duncan.

Deep down, he couldn't hide his admiration for Duge.

But now, he feels that Snoopy will have a hard time playing off the beaten path in the fourth quarter. Because... The entire Lakers team is ready for this moment.

Backbite!

The whistle blew quickly, and the fourth quarter of the game followed.

When the Lakers players became serious because of Kobe Bryant's roar, the originally slightly loose court felt swept away, and the whole mental outlook changed structurally.

Bang!

When David Lee's first shot of the fourth quarter was deflected wide of the basket by Lamar Odom, Ron Artest jumped up from the wing of the box and grabbed the rebound in front of Eddy Curry.

Swish!

In less than nine seconds, Kobe Bryant jumped straight from beyond the three-point line and shot the basketball into the basket against Matthews' defense.

When the cheers of the MVP of the audience came wildly, the Black Mamba just swung his fist hard: "Defend!! ”

Led by him and Ron Artest, the Lakers' defensive level instantly improved.

Kirk Simridge though passed Derrick Fisher's defense on the perimeter. However, in the way of passing the ball to Dug, it was interfered with by Lamar Odom... Syllable!

The basketball was directly cut off by Artest on the side.

Immediately, it was passed to Kobe Bryant.

Bryant arrived up front with the ball, and after a few changes of direction, he seized a hole in Matthews' defense and slotted straight into the paint...... Backbite!

It was very easy to use the lever to create a foul on Eddie Curry.

Swish!

Swish!

Two free throws and two hits.

The Lakers put the score in the lead.

"And, the Lakers have played a playoff-level defense and focus." Earl Johnson emphasized in the commentary booth: "When they get serious, it's hard for the Knicks to get easy scoring again. ”

"In the first three quarters of the game, the Los Angeles allowed the Knicks to score 93 points easily, and Phil Jackson watched indifferently in the second and third quarters, which is obviously abnormal. I'm even worried that the Knicks' young players who play two quarters with ease and smooth will suddenly encounter a playoff-level defense that will collapse and become unable to play. ”

Earl Johnson's tone was one of concern.

And his worries soon spilled over into the Circle.

Gallinari, Wesley, Matthews, and David Lee, the three shooters who played well in the third quarter were treated with a sudden increase in defensive treatment, and their super-high shooting percentages began to slacken.

And with Stephen Marbury's fitness limitations, Kirkzenridge couldn't support the offensive output at the No. 1 position.

Eddie Curry's offense on the inside has also been disrupted one after another.

After 7 minutes.

108：101。

The Lakers went from trailing by four points to leading by seven points.

Although in the process, the Knicks made a change. Milicic, James Johnson and others were replaced in a row to change the lineup in an attempt to improve the resilience of the lineup.

But... This young team is still inevitably lost.

In contrast, the Lakers, driven by Artest and Kobe Bryant, are becoming more and more fierce.

When Andrew Bynum forced James Johnson's fierce one-handed slam dunk from the depths of the penalty area, the entire Stamp Arena was in a long cheer.

The defending champions are on full display!

Earl Johnson couldn't help but sigh in the commentary seat: "The Lakers who are serious are indeed invincible in the whole league!" ”

At the same time, the three Duchess girls next to the Staples Arena stood up outside the arena en masse, and despite being surrounded by home fans cheering wildly for the Lakers players, they still firmly and loudly shouted their attitude: "Snoopy! Come on!! ”

Their voices are like duckweed in a storm, although firm, but in the huge and vast environment, it seems to be particularly stormy.

Dugg heard their voices clearly, and he turned his head to the side. For the first time, he waved his hand to them to thank them.

At this point, any slight encouragement is a relief for the Knicks, who are close to a breakdown in confidence.

Of course, the most important thing is to build your own confidence. While others show their fierce fangs, they also have to show their attitude.

"Hey, Snoopy. It's almost garbage time. I've been waiting for you to come in and dunk. ”

At this moment, Bynum's lazy, provocative voice came.

Dugg turned his head sideways and saw a smug face.

He bowed his head slightly, and thought silently in his heart, that's you.

Immediately, he walked outside the left three-point line and received the serve directly from James Johnson.

Ron Artest quickly stepped up to the defense.

Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, it has been him who has been defending Duger. But Dugg hasn't really pulled away from the singles, and he's been leading the team forward by organizing the tandem. But alas... A lot of the time, my teammates didn't take their chances.

Now, the game fell on his shoulders.

As the sole leader, he had to carry it.

There was no reason for him to let Zach Randolph, who was sitting on the bench, see the joke, and there was no reason to give him another chance to make a comeback.

So, he gritted his teeth!

Bang!

His basketball slammed into the floor with ferocity, and at the same time... He made a left-shifted stride.

Artest quickly moved sideways...... Artest has been much slower this year due to physical problems, straight-line speed and turning speed, but his lateral movement ability has always been reliable, coupled with his excellent physical confrontation ability and ability to grasp the timing of the steal, so that he still appears in the sequence of top outside defenders. Even when it comes to defending certain players like Carmelo Anthony and Paul Pierce, there's a good chance that no one in the league can do it better than him. In fact, this is a big reason why the Lakers brought him into the roster this summer.

However, it's a pity. Snoopy is not Carmelo Anthony.

Although Anthony also has a good ability to turn and get rid of it, he is undoubtedly inferior in snoopy's feints and rhythm.

When Dugg drew Artest's defense to the left, his left foot suddenly turned into an axis, and he spun and changed direction in an instant...... His body was thrown directly from the left side to the right, and under the huge gravitational acceleration, Artest's strong body was even involuntarily driven to tilt to the left.

Wait until he settles down and tries to chase the defense.

Dug's speed is not what it used to be, and after getting rid of the defense, he is like lightning, clinging to the baseline and hitting directly into the paint area.

He's pretty fast.

Kobe Bryant, who tried to rush over from the weak side to wrap up, even had the illusion that Iverson flashed in front of his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at the basket, Bynum had just gotten rid of Milicic and he went straight to the basket from the other side, and the two were 2.8 meters and 4.5 meters away from the basket respectively.

Bynum's is closer.

Theoretically, he would have reached the defensive point faster.

However, at this time, Kobe Bryant subconsciously blurted out: "Get out of the way!" ”

His voice had just fallen.

Snoopy was already in the basket and leaping to his feet, and when he jumped to the top point, he burst down with the ball in one hand. Bynum had just jumped, and he had used all his strength, and he had already calculated the plan to flip Dug directly from the sky to the ground.

Before the two collided with each other, there was a lot of confidence in his body.

He thinks he's on the verge of getting his fourth block of the game.

However...... Burst!

When Snoopy's body slammed into his chest, his outstretched hand trembled instantly, and his breathing also made a suffocating sensation at the same time. As a huge dull pain hit the cerebral cortex, he realized that his body was falling unstoppably.

Although there are still Lakers fans roaring and shouting to overthrow Snoopy.

But he already knew that he would have to give up defending this time.

However, when he tried to withdraw the force in advance and fell to dodge. An even greater force came from Snoopy...... His head was almost confused, he let go of many top guard swingmen, and there were very few who could make a second effort in the air.

He didn't expect Snoopy to be able to do the same.

This huge secondary force instantly caused Bynum to fall to the ground in a hurry.

As soon as he landed, he subconsciously raised his head...... Rumble!

There was a heavy bombardment overhead.

Meanwhile...... Burst!

He felt like his eyes were dark, and he was confused.

The Staples Arena was already uncontrollably amazed, and there were even some laughter.

Bynum hurriedly retreated, pulling his head out.

He took two hard breaths, and the feeling of suffocation was not at all uncomfortable.

Yikes!

When Snoopy landed easily, the Knicks team members were already excited to come over and give him a high-five. And he looked at Bynum with a look of 'ill will' in his eyes.

"Hey, boy. How does it feel to be ridden under the crotch of the Duke? James Johnson finally got the answer to the puzzle.

His tone was sarcastic.

Andrew Bynum quickly raised his head, and the big screen above his head happened to replay the scene of Snoopy's violent dunk.

When he saw that he landed on the ground, he was swept away by Snoopy and rode directly under his crotch. subconsciously took a sip, as if someone had made a mouthful.

"This is the dunk you've always dreamed of. How does it taste? ”

Snoopy asked him indifferently as he passed by.

Bynum's face turned pale, and from the evasive eyes of his teammates, from the shocked faces of the home fans, from the excited gestures of the three duchess girls dancing hands, he realized that he was out of the woods. When he was still stiff-mouthed, and tried to turn the tables against the wind: "It's just a sneak attack, you have the ability to come in from the front." ”

Hehe.

Duge sneered and muttered: The posture requirements are quite high.

"Defend!"

He shouted and ran to the front.
