"What do you understand?" Kenny Smith asked strangely.

On the contrary, O'Neal is a little dull today, perhaps because Liu Ren didn't have many chances to perform, perhaps because Kobe is also old.

"I took a closer look. In fact, Kobe performed well most of the time this year. However, when he encountered an opponent who was taller than him, he was struggling and his performance was not good in the late game, especially against Chandler. -Parsons and Luis Almonds are more obvious when defenders." Barkley said his views.

Kenny Smith said in surprise: "This... seems to be the case. Kobe played very well against Wade, who was shorter than him. One or two goals behind him were missed because of physical fitness. Luis Almonds was in such a terrible state that it was surprising!"

"Kobe is still old after all."

"Yes, last season, he estimated that he was holding back the momentum of wanting to win the sixth crown to maintain the peak tail. The same last year, even if he rested so many games, his performance should not be He should have been at his age last year..."

O'Neill turned into a dull gourd decisively today, listening to the discussion between them...

...

...

The best performance of the Knicks is jr-Smith. Under the double cover of Lopez Jr. and Luis Almonds, he breaks into the interior, or throws all kinds of waves, and plays in the second half of the third quarter. Soon he scored 10 points in a single quarter.

Without Liu Ren, the first defensive gate on the perimeter, Antetokounmpo was truce again, and no one on the Lakers could stop Jr-Smith.

In contrast, Kobe's performance on the court is indeed not very good.

D'Antoni looked at Kobe with a trace of guilt in his eyes. Can he see the things that even Barkley can see?

Indeed, as Kenny Smith said, Kobe is at his age two years ago, and he really shouldn’t be in that state. Even if he has that strength, he should play dead like Duncan in the regular season. The playoffs will play at a critical moment. .

However, Jeremy Lin, McCollum, Antetokounmpo and other outside players in the first two years did not have the ability to replace Kobe. LaVine and Clarkson were even rookies. In order to win the championship and to have a better record, Kobe could only be there. After two years of injury, his comeback became the number one scoring point besides Liu Ren, and even the number one tactical scoring point tactically higher than Liu Ren.

But the cost to Kobe playing that way is huge, just like Duncan's worst performance in his career last season due to Duncan's worst performance in the 2013-2014 season playoffs. Nothing else affects him, that is, he is older and last season. Playing too hard.

Although D'Antoni has minimized Kobe's playing time and the number of appearances, but Kobe's age is there, and his playing style to reduce the number of appearances is only a slight delay in the degree of aging.

If it is said that Liu Ren's original time and space, Kobe was due to three consecutive seasons and the reimbursement of the season led to a faulty decline, this time and space Kobe is striving for his sixth personal championship, and then began a faulty decline.

Of course, this time and space is not as bad as Liu Ren's original time and space, but it still surprised many people. Kobe's performance was too far behind last season!

The data is indeed the same. The average points per game are even a little higher than last season. But last season, Kobe's shooting percentage exceeded 50% for the first time in his career. This year it is only 41%. And last season, Kobe was close. He averaged 25 points per game, and only a little less playing time in the second half of the regular season did he slowly decline.

When the score was caught up by the Knicks and tied for 85, D'Antoni finally couldn't sit still and began to adjust.

Wide-ranging substitutions, Ravenson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, Bi Yongbo played.

The Knicks also made substitutions, replacing them with jr-Smith, Shumpert, Anthony, Derek Williams, and Lopez Jr.

D'Antoni was about to defend against the Knicks, and he was replaced by a small lineup with no more than 2.06 meters, ready to run away from the Knicks with old arms and legs.

But Fisher on the Knicks' side was alert, and also replaced two defensive champions Shumpert and Lopez.

Back from the timeout, the Knicks really strengthened their defense, because the Lakers' lineup has average three-point ability, so they shrink very firmly.

Liu Ren's first goal shot directly outside the three-point line. Shumpert had no choice but to watch Liu Ren fully exert his effort.

It feels good, Liu Ren's three-pointer in the third quarter continued the good feel in the second half of the second quarter and went straight to the basket.

Shumpert didn't dare to guard Liu Ren's step outside the three-point line, or Liu Ren would cut into the inside from his side. This has been verified many times in the first half.

Defensively with the Lakers, the Knicks have no other way. Wade almost played the first half. He only took a three-minute break in the first half. He continued to play for half a quarter in the second half, although his state is indeed the same this year. Not bad, but after all ages, there is no way to continue to lead the Knicks to attack, so they replaced jr-Smith and Anthony, wanting to rely on the overall defense and two singles kings to continue to maintain the advantage after the beginning of the third quarter.

Why is the combination of giants so strong that opponents feel hated?

It is because they have a lot of strong points, and being able to be called a giant combination shows that these strong points are unguarded by opponents and a player!

When these two strong points do not care about teammates stealing points, it is even more terrifying.

jr-Smith can indeed be counted as a top player in heads-up, and Anthony is even more so. Putting aside the obsession with data, Anthony's current goal is only the championship, and it doesn’t matter if the average scoring falls below 20. jr-Smith only needs to play happily. , Will be very strong, have fun and be willing to listen to coach arrangements.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Anthony took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Ren immediately defended, and then Anthony passed to jr-Smith.

Liu Ren had no choice but to watch Jr-Smith ravage Lavin.

LaVine does have defensive talents, but he is too thin, too tender and too young. Even in another year, his defense will definitely come up after his muscles come up. Just like Anthony Davis in the third and fourth grades, the muscles come out and the defensive is choking. Soaring, but young is a sin!

The defense of the Lakers guard line has always been a problem. McCollum's defense can only be regarded as above average.

What is above average? That is, when the defensive offense is an average opponent, it is good, but facing a high scorer, it is actually useless. Last year, Kobe could not tell when his defensive efficiency was fairly good. Now Kobe obviously cannot make his contribution on the defensive end. , Antetokounmpo is the only defensive player on the Lakers guard line.

Liu Ren was pulled to the strong side by Anthony, and didn't dare to go to the weak side to help LaVine defend. He could only watch as jr-Smith ravaged LaVine and attracted McCollum to double-team, and Shumpert received the ball in the open three-pointer. Shot hits.

88 tied, the Knicks continued to clenched the score.

In the Lakers offense, Liu Ren didn't play in the few minutes when the Knicks sent the defensive lineup in the first half, so there was no intuitive feeling.

At this time, Liu Ren found that the Knicks' defense...is really good!

jr-Smith knows his own advantages, so he uses his body to bully LaVine. You need to know the physical fitness of jr-Smith in the Nuggets, but it can be compared with Iguodala, Shannon-Brown and others. He was in the dunk contest. His performance was very good. Although he is a few years older, he is 30 years old, but he is still very strong physically. He often performs rollover and folding dunks. The young LaVine muscle is far worse than JR Smith.

It’s okay for Anthony to focus on defensively regardless of his fatness. Such a big guy doesn’t suffer from the speed of defending McCollum. It’s really not good to defend McCollum’s one-on-one singles, but defending McCollum can only be general off-ball. Anthony's defense is enough.

This time Shumpert posted very tightly, the big deal is to let Liu Ren break into the inside, at most it is a 2+1. Liu Ren's three-pointer really scared Shumpert, it is as scary as Curry and Thompson. .

Liu Ren had no choice but to hand the ball to Green~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Knicks’s little Lopez’s strength really didn’t have to be worse than Biyongbo, and it was half a head higher. Derek Williams has all the skills. The average guy can't do anything else. With physical fitness there, he is much stronger than the old Stoudemire and the young boy Porzingis's inside combination defense.

Seeing this back line, D'Antoni did not appreciate it.

LaVine and Clarkson are young. There is no way, but McCollum, who is already quite mature, is mature, comprehensive and comprehensive, and it was returned at a very small price. It is not a loss, and it is a big profit. , As long as you are not blind, you can see McCollum has All-Star potential, but some are not so suitable for the Lakers lineup.

In D'Antoni's view, McCollum is a bit superfluous. It is obviously a play style of at least second master, but the Lakers do not need such a second master. The second master of the Lakers clearly is Green.

"If cj is replaced by Klay Thompson or Kawhi Leonard, Paul George..." D'Antoni thought of this and suddenly thought of another thing, "I care so much about what I do, this team has a future with me. what relationship?"
