Lakers coach Delmar Harris confirmed a solid team performance, and then emphasized the defense against Alan Houston.
After returning from the timeout, Charles Oakley has calmed down, and he still puts the interests of the team above his personal grievances.
After two minutes of adjustment, Charles Oakley came to the conclusion that although he was not a good person, this Michael Udin was definitely not a good person!
Delmar Harris repeatedly stressed the need to limit Alan Houston's mid-range shot during the timeout, but Eddie Jones was the first to return to let his opponent hit the distance, much to Eddie Jones's dismay.
The Lakers' overall defense suddenly improved, which made the New York Knicks a little uncomfortable. In the last 24 seconds, Charlie Ward could only fire an unusual shot.
But the ball hit the board and hit the basket again, resetting offensive timing, and the offensive rebound fell to Patrick Ewing's advantage.
Patrick Ewing presses the Sharks for an offensive rebound, and quickly takes off twice against Shaquille O'Neal!
The referee's whistle blows, Shaquille O'Neal's thug commits a foul!
In this way, he lost his second foul in the first quarter, much to Shaquille O'Neal's dismay, he made a substitution and left the scene.
Cedric Ceballos played again, and Michael Udin also returned to his familiar fourth position.
Patrick Ewing made two free throws, his biggest contribution in the first quarter being two fouls by Sharks O'Neal.
New York Knicks fans thought that with Shark O'Neal off the pitch they could have opened the scoring straight away, but they were all wrong.
Without Shaquille O'Neal, the offensive core, Kobe's offensive nature has been unleashed to its full potential!
After Kobe dribbled into the frontcourt, he went straight into offensive mode, dribbled under the hips to match the rhythm, two little disguises mobilized Charlie Ward's center of gravity, could start from the right, and Charlie Ward stepped up too. !
But Kobe pulled the ball back into his left hand, which also made Charlie Ward's foot still to the right, but the upper body uncontrollably shifted to the other side. Kobe knows his opponent without paying special attention. No longer defensive, the ball returns to his dominant right hand after another disguise!
Kobe dribbled, closed the ball and jumped, a very elegant shot to reach two points!
A series of dazzling dribbles fascinated Charlie Ward, and the ending to the CIC final was splendid.
Such a performance made Madison Square Garden fans exclaim uncontrollably!
Charlie Ward, whose face was shown, was still recovering. He had just received Patrick Ewing's pass from the bottom line and was intercepted by Kobe!
After completing the steal, Kobe faced the New York Tower. Insufficient run-up distance made Kobe not dare to break free hard. Kobe dribbles and takes a very high arc running shot!
The bow will pass through Patrick Ewing's fingertips, and then fall vertically into the basket!
After scoring four points in a row, Kobe is undoubtedly showing his refined skills!
The New York Knicks wanted to take advantage of the absence of Shaquille O'Neal to put pressure on the Lakers, but they never thought that Kobe, who only played in the regular season, was leading the score!
Charlie Ward curled up like a frightened bird and dribbled through the half of the field and hastily handed it to Alan Houston.
The two teams started to stalemate between you and me, until the first half of the second quarter, no matter who led by only two or three points, Sharks O'Neal was sent back on the pitch, while Michael Udin and Kobe were substituted.
At the end of the first half, the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily led 49-48 with a difference of one point.
The players walked back to the locker room chatting.
"Knicks really did two defensive moves. The first half was really tough!", Kobe said to Michael Udin
"Yeah, I feel like I'm about to be crushed!
Today was a tough battle, we have to win, I've won Charles Oakley, and of course I can't lose!
This is my personal complaint with him! "
But Michael Udin and Charles Oakley came into a 360-degree battle with no stalemate. It would be too embarrassing to win the game and lose the game.
"You shouldn't think so, Odin!
The Knicks maliciously fouled one of my younger brothers and pushed my other brother. This is already a contradiction between the two teams.
Remember that you represent the Lakers, and your personal complaint is the hatred of the Los Angeles Lakers. "
Shark O'Neill walked up from behind them and said, holding Kobe in one hand and Michael Udin in the other.
Shaquille O'Neal was very satisfied with the status of Boss in the Los Angeles Lakers, who had been on the air without a leader, all fell in love with him, and the team had chosen two rookies with such high fighting power.
If a veteran of such strength, Shaquille O'Neal felt that he might not be able to control the absolute right to speak in the dressing room, but in the face of Michael Udin and Kobe, he had no such worries.
In this team, he only said that there was one.
"Odin, you can have fun with Charles Oakley. Your English is much better than any international player I've ever known!
I heard that you still have good cooking skills?
Where did you get so much talent at such a young age! "
Shaquille O'Neal has seen a lot of newcomers, but none as special as Michael Udin, he feels that always has a maturity that doesn't match his age.
"For English I only read books and suddenly I can speak English and for cooking I often watch television shows every Sunday with my mother and learn to cook with my mother."
What Michael Udin said was nonsense but he said it with pride
"You really are a genius!"
Shark O'Neill loves Michael Udin's bubbly personality.
In the second half, Michael Udin and Kobe were still sitting on the bench.
Compared to the fierce match in the first half, the first few minutes of the second half were a bit boring. NBA games like this. Slightly longer breaks provide fans with plenty of recreational activities. Many fans will even be in the first round. After the official deadline, he returned to his seat with a pint of beer.
Although today's opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, the spark of violence was extinguished in the first half, but New Yorkers who are used to seeing big scenes as usual, after all, this is just one of the long regular seasons. .
The small number of spectators on the sidelines also made it difficult for players on the pitch to quickly get into form.
The first timeout in the third quarter after this timeout, Michael Udin and Kobe will also play again.
Charles Oakley and Michael Udin Neither of them wanted to cause any more trouble, and the two entered peaceful development mode very quietly.
After Michael Udin came on to the court, he stood on the free throw line, This is a new tactic that the Lakers designed specifically for this lineup.
After Kobe's move, Michael Udin and Shark O'Neal were in and out, Michael Udin dropped the ball in, and the New York Knicks immediately reacted defensively.
Michael Udin takes advantage of Charles Oakley's frail defense and jumps high!
On the next foul, Larry Johnson will break through the basket and take the basket.
Michael Udin and Shark O'Neal are once again in highs and lows
Charlie Ward couldn't help but want to cut Shaquille O'Neal's dribble.
The ball in the hands of Shaquille O'Neal!
Shaq didn't look the other way and let the ball go.
Kobe stretched into a full arc.
Dunk with one hand! The ball hit the floor and bounced two meters away!
"Looks like Shaq has inherited my mantle. The Lakers star must have a really good pass!", Magic Johnson laughed and admired Shaquille O'Neal's pass.
"As you all know, a real dunk and a performance dunk are completely different things, Kobe's real dunk really makes me want to get back on the court! ", said Dr. J., rubbing his hands together.
"I don't want to say something bad like you two, I think the cooperation of these two people should be called OK connection!", Magic Johnson again gave the nickname to the players on the field.
Today, the New York Knicks are notoriously tough, when defenses crack, they amplify their attack.
Patrick Ewing and Alan Houston alternated singles play, and the others struggled desperately for offensive rebounds. With the support of the home crowd, the New York Knicks are still able to open the deadlock with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the formation of the Lakers, Michael Udin and Kobe vaguely became Shark O'Neal's right-hand man. Michael Udin and Kobe have lived together for three years and competed with each other for three years. The two are physically and technically stronger together.
Both teams had been at a stalemate until the very last moment, Michael Udin and Kobe had been playing for a long time, and their performances were also brilliant.
But coach Delmar Harris still replaced five starting players in the last five minutes. Beginners like to have a gradual process in a decisive stage. After all, the Lakers are not bad players for beginners. Leveling team.
At the final critical moment, Sharks O'Neal engaged most of the New York Knicks' defensive energy inside, and Eddie Jones hit two big three-pointers!
In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New York Knicks 98-95 narrowly and won this long-awaited fight.
"Son, wait for me, I will look good when I see you again!", After the match, Charles Oakley did not forget to leave a message for Michael Udin.
"Haha, I was waiting for you at Staples.", For such a provocation, Michael Udin felt that there was actually nothing.
