After Redick finished speaking, everyone else fell into deep thought.

"This idea is correct, but what if we still cannot limit Don, and Don also use personal scoring to help the team win?" Noah said afterwards.

"Yes, we could all feel in the first half that Tang's offensive success rate was obviously higher than his teammates." Ross also echoed.

"Then let's take it as unlucky." Before Redick explained, Horacek spoke directly, "Don is just a player after all. He will lose his hot touch when he is weak. If you can't defend well, then follow the way jj says, which is also the way you are best at changing the game."

After he finished speaking, the other members of the Knicks nodded one after another. Indeed, this was the only thing they could do in the second half.

Unlike the slightly solemn atmosphere in the Knicks locker room, the Lakers were very happy. Tang Shuai scored 39 points in the first half and broke the 60-point scoring record. It seems that it is a foregone conclusion.

However, Tang Shuai himself seemed relatively calm. Although his strength has improved a lot compared to before, he believes that the Knicks players, including Hornersek, will not be willing to have a new record born this night.

When he came back in the second half, Horacek replaced Evans with Redick, and the team played a big offensive card.

Such a change made the fans at the scene misunderstand, but after the Knicks scored consecutively, they finally understood that Horacek was going to use attack instead of defense.

Redick is much weaker than Evans in single defense, but he is obviously completely different in his understanding of Tang Shuai. He can be said to have a good understanding of some of Tang Shuai's offensive habits.

And the change brought about by this subtle detail is that Tang Shuai's offensive success rate has decreased.

After half of the third quarter, he only made 3 of 7 shots in this quarter, and his offensive efficiency has been significantly reduced. The Knicks also took the opportunity to tie the score to 70.

In fact, it is normal for Tang Shuai's shooting rate to decline. First of all, Redick's familiarity with him makes him easily encounter "high-intensity defense" when taking action. For example, when he turns around and leans back, Redick tries to get the ball in a targeted manner. It's really not possible to ignore it. Once you dodge, your movements will be deformed and the accuracy will naturally decrease. You must know that even if it is an exclusive skill package, under this defensive intensity, his shooting rate is only more than 50%.

Seeing that the strategy had worked, the Knicks players were particularly dedicated on the field, and their enthusiasm had improved significantly compared to the first half. The result was that they were more dedicated on the offensive end, which was like snowballing. They turned away in this quarter. By the end of the third quarter, they led 84-80.

In this quarter, Tang Shuai only hit 4 goals with 10 shots, and there was no free throw, and he only scored 8 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks won the bet. They successfully restricted Tang Shuai's performance by attacking instead of defending, and the problem was then thrown to Tang Shuai and the Lakers.

In the end, it was to continue to score high scores, but to win the game and reduce Tang Shuai's number of shots. This seemed to be like Reddick said, becoming a multiple-choice question.

Tang Shuai sat on the bench and thoughtfully, and was also thinking about how to play in the fourth quarter.

"Dang, this is actually not a multiple-choice question." Gasol sat next to him at this time, turned his head and spoke.

"Hmm?" Tang Shuai looked at him in confusion.

"I know you must be thinking in your mind that your touch has decreased. Should you help your teammates more?" Gasol asked.

A look of surprise flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes, and he nodded.

"Actually, it's wrong for you to do this. Others didn't take any action or scored in the whole game. Can you expect us to perform more stably than you? This is an obvious thing."

Gasol's words touched Tang Shuai.

"Go to attack the basket. I know you made great progress in free throws last season. And I believe with your strength, it is not difficult to break through to the basket. The closer you get to the basket, the higher the success rate. I think even if you are now, it is applicable." Gasol finished speaking in one breath.

After listening to it, Tang Shuai suddenly felt an epiphany. Yes, he didn't expect such a simple truth.

In fact, this is not a multiple-choice question. Even though he did not have an exclusive breakthrough package, he just dropped a throwing package and attacked the basket, which was something he had been doing in the past few seasons. He had the ability to do it completely.

He really jumped into the hole dug by the Knicks, but in fact he just went around directly from the side!

"Thank you, Paul." Tang Shuai said to Gasol from the bottom of his heart.

Gasol smiled and said nothing, but patted his shoulder and said the most plain thing: "Come on."

Tang Shuai nodded and then stood up.

At this time, the long whistle on the sidelines happened to be remembered, and the fourth quarter between the two sides officially began.

In the last quarter, Billups sent Tang Shuai to the court at the beginning.

This is to send a signal to the Knicks and fans that I want to make Tang Shuai break the record.

Horacek seemed calm about Billups' choice and did not defend himself from the main players. He just replaced Anthony and directly played a one-on-one remittance with you.

The first offense in the fourth quarter was because Noel jumped to Noah before, and the Lakers attacked first in this quarter.

Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and did not choose to break through as before, but directly asked Gasol to make a pick-and-roll near the free throw line, and then went into the inside line, facing O'Quinn's defense, a throw shot after turning the top in place.

O'Quinn was big and thick, and saw that he had no chance to defend himself, he slapped Tang Shuai in the hand, destroying his attack.

When the shooting was hit, Tang Shuai got two free throws.

After walking onto the free throw line and hitting steadily with two free throws, Tang Shuai increased his personal score to 49 points.

The Knicks' offense, Anthony beat Harlix from a low post, and a beautiful turn around and slipped into the bottom line, directly dunked backhand, which attracted cheers from the fans on the scene.

Looking back, Tang Shuai rushed to the basket again, and O'Quinn wanted to block the block, but he lost another foul.

When Parker used the casting package in a superb way, it was obviously not that easy to prevent it.

When O'Quinn was replaced and looked annoyed, Tang Shuai made two free throws steadily at the free throw line, increasing his personal score to 51 points.

The fans at the scene fell into a state of restlessness. After a quiet quarter, Tang Shuai seemed to have found a new way to score.

Horacek reacted quickly when he saw this scene and directly replaced them all on the field. It seemed that he was determined not to let Tang Shuai break this record.

A Knicks' offense, Redick made a three-pointer, helping the Knicks open the score again.

Looking back, Tang Shuai encountered Redick's oppressive defense after holding the ball, and this former teammate directly became the most difficult opponent.

Tang Shuai signaled his teammates to pull away, and didn't think too much. He firmly protected the ball, pushed it in, and then turned around and rushed to the basket like oily soles.

Redick originally wanted to withdraw his strength, but Tang Shuai's back-playing technique was upgraded during the offseason, and his predictions were deviated. Tang Shuai's turn was at the basket.

Noah at the basket started to interfere.

Tang Shuai turned around and leaned back, avoided Noah's defense and steadily scored the ball.

With 53 points, Tang Shuai's score began to rise again.

Horacek reached out to hold his forehead and shook his head while holding his hand.

Redick's strategy suddenly lost its effect after a successful quarter.

In fact, just like Tang Shuai's shooting percentage declined in the third quarter, this is also a very normal thing. An excellent scorer with rich offensive methods is unlikely to be restricted throughout the game, like Jordan and Kobe.

Tang Shuai continued to break through the basket and caused damage. This scoring method made the Knicks seem helpless. Noah and O'Quinn are both the tonnage insiders, and they are naturally disadvantageous in speed, not to mention Tang Shuai's superb small throw shot.

After struggling for nearly half a quarter, Horacek and his Knicks players finally realized that they could not escape tonight.

In the Lakers' offense, Shuai Tang dribbled from the outside with the ball.

This was a simple offensive round, but at this moment there was a turbulent sound.

Because before this, Tang Shuai had already scored a career scoring record, and there were more than 4 minutes left before the end of the game. This ball was likely to tie, or break the 62-point scoring record set by Anthony in 2014.

Tang Shuai was suppressing the rhythm, and the Knicks players seemed a little nervous. Although they knew that being nailed to the background wall was inevitable, they always hoped that this moment would come later.

The Lakers players were completely opened at this time, and it was clear that they wanted to create a new record for Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai lowered his center of gravity, took a deep breath, and then shook a cross step, he rushed directly to the basket against Redick's defense.

Redick tried to steal with his right hand, and he knew that Tang Shuai liked to walk to the right.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Tang Shuai changed his right hand and chose to go left.

It was intentional at this time!

After being disturbed for so long, Tang Shuai deliberately chose the side that he was not used to. Although it was not as smooth as the right side, he successfully deceived Redick.

After having a breakthrough advantage in position, he quickly reached the three-second zone.

Noah, who was under the basket, pounced out with a fierce look on his face at this time, and he would never give him a cell phone easily.

Although Redick behind him was squeezed by, he was still chasing him and would not let him take action easily.

After being repeatedly double-teamed, Tang Shuai had no good chance to pass the ball. He held his breath and stopped suddenly. When Noah came up, he jumped to the side and then threw it with a throw.

"Bang!"

Redick jumped up from behind and hit Tang Shuai in the hand.

However, although the ball was hit, it did not stop Tang Shuai from taking action. After passing a small parabola, the basketball fell straight towards the net bag. (To be continued.)
