Fans came on stage one after another.

"Friends, I have reserved the Qingsi Box No. 19. Let's come here and watch the game together."

In the chat group of Chaoshen Music employees in Chaoliao, Deng Ziqi @everyone shouted that today she had booked a large box at her own expense. Employees of Chaoshen Music and Chaoshen Music app can come and watch the game. Although it may be crowded, it is necessary.

That's the atmosphere.

Moreover, there was amazing music and a group performance during the midfield.

Chulong and Wendy, who were lying in the Gold Coast villa, naturally received the news.

The two looked at each other:

"Are you feeling better?"

"Let's go, no regrets!"

They are all young girls, and they are G4. Even though their lower bodies are burning and aching, and Xiaolong's legs are no longer close together after being ravaged by Jiang Chao, it is still difficult to stop their enthusiasm for watching the game.

"Let's stop wearing short skirts, it hurts."

"Okay, let's wear some sweatpants." Wendy's knees were all red and bruised, and she was still wearing a band-aid from Jiang Chao.

The two left as soon as they could, staggered into the BMW 5 Series, and hurried to the stadium...

…

6:50 New York time.

Global live broadcast starts.

Jiang Chao also sat in the front row with Liu Yan, Lao Lu, Marks, D'Antoni, Downey Jr. and other team executives. They wanted to witness their first championship with their own eyes.

Along the way, they are the first group of people, who know their own situation. Two years is not a long time, not a short time. When the time comes for the results to come, they are still a little excited.

Even Dolan is sitting next to them. Dolan has long been relieved in the past two years. Although the market value of the Knicks in the past two years has made him drool, nothing is more comfortable than the happiness the Knicks bring him!

For a rich man like him, making money is one aspect, and watching the home team win all the time is the happiest thing.

Yangma started the live broadcast, and Li Shishi served as a special commentator. When Yu Jia asked who do you think will win the championship, he explained to the domestic fans on the spot:

"As long as you have firm faith.

Be fully prepared,

Keep your morale high.

This world may reveal its cold veil,

Smiling brightly to you!

This season will belong to the Knicks!"

Commentaries from other TV stations are also exaggerating the atmosphere. Even a local sports TV station in New York started with Jiang Chao's words: New York City at night...The Statue of Liberty is overlooking all living beings.

The opening performance was the warm-up of "Welcome to New York" brought by the Grammy star and Jiang Chao's good friend, Nick fan Swifty. She and her band gave everyone the most shocking opening, which made everyone excited.

The melody is very suitable for warm-up.

Players are ready to play!

The photographers focused their lenses on the O'Brien Trophy and the players on both sides in the tunnel.

Marshal Stevens said to everyone in the passage:

"The trophy is right in front of you.

your own faces

All have been printed on the cup,

Breath even touches the cup holder,

We have come this far,

Tonight, take him down."

…

With a whistle from the Croatian referee, the finals G4 officially started!

Jiang Chao guessed right, Kobe was in a state of madness from the beginning.

In the first half, the Knicks were defended from the outside by Kobe Bryant, Artest, and Shannon Brown, who became the starter after the change of formation, and only scored 10 points.

At 43:47, the Lakers led by 4 points at halftime.

Tyronn Lue wanted to applaud Kobe in the coaching bench. This is too crazy. It is crazy regardless of physical strength!

Kobe played a major role in the Knicks' perimeter defense. He was the one who would defend the Knicks whoever scored from the outside. He was desperate and didn't believe in any teammates, but in himself!

The fight between trapped beasts!!

This made Jiang Chao lament Kobe's energy, but that's right. Later, Irving was so good at dribbling. At the end of his career, Kobe was defeated by one-on-one defense, let alone the Knicks defenders. Who can say that he dribbles better than Irving?

Hang on.

Sean Marks also lamented Kobe's presence on the defensive end today. He no longer conserves energy, he is all-in!

Kobe was not only invincible offensively throughout his career, he was also the backbone of the entire Lakers' perimeter defense, from Harper, who won three consecutive championships for the first time, to Fisher.

When it comes to defending champion Fisher, the Lakers basically don't have a speedy point guard who is all stout, so Kobe has to fill in on the outside. In the key rounds, Kobe defends the opponent's outside arrows.

For example, in the famous scene where Allen Iverson crossed over Tyronn Lue, people thought Tyronn Lue was the one defending him. In fact, Fisher was the main defender for most of the game with the help of Kobe Bryant.

Kobe's defensive style is fierce and oppressive, but he rarely takes the initiative to reach for the ball and is not easy to lose position. In the early days, he also did some chasing shots and other actions, but later on, he focused less on overall defense and not losing position. This is why he has no other point guard partners.

It's related to a speed type, and if it exceeds it, there's no way to remedy it.

Fisher is a qualified point guard, suitable for controlling the rhythm and strong, but his speed is too slow.

From the shot Kobe defended against Curry in the second quarter, we can see how strong his full defense is.

A point guard like Curry simply stopped the ball and took no shots under Kobe's one-on-one defense.

Facing Curry's underhand dribble.

Kobe's center of gravity was low and his steps were diligent, detailed and precise.

After starting on the weak side, he blocked the shot. He half-circled forward to trick Curry into passing to the other side, and then quickly circled back to cover the position. First, he actively stepped to one side and quickly moved to the other side...

With just this step, many outside players can stop the ball directly.

His pace is detailed and much faster than the average wing player.

But now that Kobe is over 30, he can't use it all the time. The only time he missed it was when his knees bent and failed to keep up with Pickled Pepper's long legs. His upper body moved but his legs didn't move. As a result, he was knocked down and had to pay compensation.

Last blocking foul.

Paojiao was shocked because this was his idol and he was afraid of hurting his idol.

However, this shot also shows that Kobe has some difficulty guarding backcourt players who are taller than him, which means his pace is not that big.

This requires Ci Shiping's big iron scale defense, which means taking half a step, and then like a scale in front of you, making it impossible for the Knicks to break through in the half.

"This is the Lakers' ultimate perimeter defense!"

Compared with Battier's precise positioning, Ci Shiping's big iron weights, and Prince and Marion's long-arm interference, Kobe's shuffling style is suitable for guarding all defenders.

He can constantly spin rapidly from the front left to the front right of the ball holder to his side, interfering with the rhythm of the ball holder from different angles and coaxing them into a trap.

So in Game 3 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Jackson asked Kobe to face Pippen.

In the 2000 Finals, Jackson often asked Kobe to play against Mark Jackson.

In 2010, he went to work with Ray Allen.

Now it's 2011, and he's guarding the 09 double iron! Today it really turned into the 09 double iron, with a total of 4 for 15 in the half.

The Black Mamba used his small steps to defend and dance wildly on the court!

Three of the four goals made were after pick-and-rolls and not after Kobe's defense.

According to the fans of these two people, this is:

"This half wiped out their hopes of finals mvp."

Why do you say that.

They were expected to compete for the FMVP, so forget about their half-time performance. After all, everyone could have guessed before the series that if Kobe was serious about it, the Knicks would always have an unlucky guy on the outside who was going to die.

But the consequence is that Kobe himself is tough, and the combination of offense and defense consumes too much physical energy, so the Lakers have never been able to open up the score.

The most important thing is, the biggest competitor of FMVP, Dwight Howard.

He scored 1,710 rebounds in the half, keeping the score tight and becoming the well-deserved patron saint of the Knicks!!

"Your lake has an integrated offense and defense on the outside, and we also have an integrated offense and defense on the inside!!"

"Also, your Kobe Bryant can be so defensive in the second half???"

"Humi is crazy @ Lakers management: quickly cut off Huo's tactics!!!"

(ps: Thanks to Xiaoeyin33 for the 5,000 point reward! It’s a little too late today, I’ll add more tomorrow! Thank you!)
