With very few people optimistic, and with the team's star Kobe Bryant injured and unable to play, the Lakers unexpectedly defeated the Phoenix Suns at home.
But when they went to Phoenix, the Lakers failed to continue this winning momentum to Phoenix. In Phoenix, the Lakers continued the pick-and-roll tactics they used to defeat the Suns. However, at the home court of the Phoenix Suns, the Suns were already well prepared.
It caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers. So much so that the Lakers lost two games in a row at the American Airlines Center.
The Lakers suffered a two-game losing streak at the American Airlines Center. The most depressing people are the Lakers players, Lakers fans, and a series of related people who advocate for the Lakers. The most excited people are the Suns players, Suns fans, and a series of related people.
For those who advocate for the sun, no matter whether they win or lose, there will always be some who are proud and some who will be disappointed.
Adande was one of the excited people. After the Lakers lost consecutive games at the American Airlines Center, he clasped his hands and laughed excitedly. He quickly concocted an article and posted it on ESPN's official website. It's really good for the Lakers.
It was an extremely sarcastic statement, demonstrating his foresight in every aspect, emphasizing that the reason why the Lakers lost two consecutive games was because Phil Jackson did not listen to his own opinions and still insisted on the pick-and-roll tactics. The boastful words are just like him being the only one in the world.
A person who understands, others are blind, fools, donkeys...
But even such a person needs someone to praise him. He has no shortage of supporters on the forum. The article "On Triangles and Pick-and-Rolls" he wrote was even pushed to the front of the home page and became this paragraph.
The most popular post on the ESPN official website at that time. This naturally makes Adande think that he is really sharp and can see clearly. If Phil Jackson is willing to listen to him, I am afraid that the Lakers will have swept the Suns 4:0.
Okay. Although Phil Jackson is very famous, he is just lucky enough to meet a good player. If he were the head coach and met Jordan and O'Neal, two superstars, he would be better than Phil.
-How many more championships will Jackson win?
This is not an exaggeration, it is human nature. People like Adande are by no means the only ones in the world. To put it further, in the Ming Dynasty, stimulated by the newly built Prince Yangming, there were many literati who practiced martial arts. On weekdays
He talks about the art of war in a clear and logical manner, and talks about it like a waterfall in the Milky Way. It would be okay if we don't encounter a war, but if we encounter a war, it will definitely end up harming others and ourselves.
A certain governor named Dai Xiaolou described in his masterpiece "Da Ming Chun" in a simple and easy-to-understand way the ridiculousness of literati's martial arts. For ordinary literati, practicing swords on weekdays is just a lack of leisure in reading.
Once he danced and was praised by others, he felt that his sword skills were the best in the world. The sword dance was really beautiful, with flowers and silver light flying down, like a fairy. But like Zhao Kuo, he was just an armchair warrior.
Silver-like wax spear head. If such a person goes to the battlefield and acts as a soldier, he will end up dead if he leaps and slashes at the opponent. If he is a general, he will end up harming others and himself when the army collapses. But if
People like this who have never experienced or been hit will definitely think that they are second to Xin Xinbo. So how can Zhao Kuo compare with me?
The principles of human behavior are generally the same whether in the East or the West, at home or abroad, and can be said to be human nature. The current economic crisis in the United States also has this example to follow. People like Buffett and Bill Gates relied on stock trading to
With virtual property
Pin jumped to become a world-famous rich man. Those who knew something about economics and programming felt that they could also follow this path, and they felt that they were Buffett II or Gates II. So in just five years
Within, there are many Wall Street investment banks, silicon
Valley software development centers sprung up, and the U.S. economy suddenly showed a booming scene. But they didn't know that they were not Buffett, not Bill Gates. They couldn't get accurate first-hand information like Buffett did.
Nor is it Bill Gates. With the help of IBM, an industry giant, he made his first pot of gold and opened up a fairly stable market. He only wanted to get rich overnight like these two people, but he didn't understand that he had no idea.
There is no way these two people can do it.
As for the result... the fortress on the beach collapsed at the first push. Bankruptcies and bankruptcies, and people jumping off buildings, coupled with the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the real estate industry, broke out in one fell swoop... The so-called harm to others and ourselves is nothing better than this.
In fact, although the Lakers lost these two games, they were not ugly losses. They also played evenly with the Suns on the court. On the tactical level, they were not at a disadvantage at all. In such a situation, as long as you have long eyes and understand
In terms of tactics, I will definitely not say that the Lakers are at a disadvantage. At most, I will only say that the Lakers are indeed a little worse in terms of strength, or a little worse in luck. I will definitely not talk about Phil Jackson's tactical arrangements and on-the-spot command.
What error occurred.
But people like Adande are determined not to see it, and even if they see it, they have to pretend not to see it. Winners and losers, even if some people have a sense of failure and heroism, they cannot change the general trend. Just like those who generally
It can be seen clearly that most of the time-tested and true coaches such as D'Antoni will not comment on others casually. The ones who jump up and down are always the so-called experts such as Adande and Youbasket who live by sensationalism.
author'.
Phil Jackson also ignored the opinions of outside experts who were jumping up and down. Back in Los Angeles, all he had to do was think about the tactics for the fifth game. He won two consecutive games at home and lost two consecutive games on the road. The four games ended at 2:2.
tie, so this fifth game is particularly critical. Commonly known as the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. In the history of the best-of-seven games in the NBA playoffs, the team that wins the Battle of Tianwang Mountain has a chance of winning the final series.
80%.
The victory in the battle of Tianwang Mountain is not only a victory, but also a powerful inspiration for the team's confidence.
There is almost no need to consider the basic tactics of Phil Jackson. Pick and roll, there is no choice but to pick and roll. Although Phil Jackson and the triangle offense became famous almost at the same time, when it comes to the triangle offense, it is impossible to bypass Phil Jackson. When it comes to Phil-
It is impossible for Jackson not to talk about the triangle offense. But this does not mean that Phil Jackson will blindly insist on the triangle offense regardless of reality.
In the past, when Kobe was here, in order to take care of Kobe's ball rights and maximize Kobe's offensive ability, he used to use Adrian as half point guard and half small forward to support him.
The triangle offense system. But now with a lineup like the Lakers, if they continue to play the triangle offense
It is naturally extremely inappropriate to attack. Those suggestions given by the so-called experts, Phil Jackson only regarded them as farts. Sticking to the pick-and-roll, there is still the possibility of victory, and returning to the triangle offense is a dead end. He is now considering
It's just about how to maximize the power of the Lakers' pick-and-roll cooperation.
At the same time, in another round of the Western Conference series, the rock-solid Spurs did not give the young Golden State Warriors any chance. A crisp 4:0 victory has now ended the Warriors' blackout.
Eighth way, taking the lead in entering the Western Conference finals. Quietly waiting for the outcome of the decisive battle between the Suns and the Lakers. The San Antonio Spurs, who have sufficient rest and adjustment time, are already standing in a position of waiting for work, waiting for their opponents to appear.
In the Eastern Conference, there were three 4-0 Eastern Conference series in the first round. After entering the second round, the game became anxious. The Bulls lost one game first, then tied two games in a row, and lost again in Chicago.
In the Detroit Pistons game, the aggressive Chicago Bulls were defeated by the Pistons 97:73 in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. The Detroit Pistons took the series advantage with a total score of 3:2.
The Cavaliers' game is relatively advanced. The Cavaliers, who also tied with the Nets at 2:2, have taken the lead in winning the battle of Tianwangshan and currently lead the Nets 3:2 in a best-of-seven game.
Take advantage.
Next, the focus of everyone's attention naturally focused on another battle between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Adrian." Before the game started, Steve Nash and Adrian Kwiert held their hands together again. Perhaps it was because the consecutive victories made Steve Nash happy. His smile today
Extraordinary sunshine: "We're at Staples again. When we return to the American Airlines Center, this series is finally coming to an end."
"Ah, you are right." Adrian smiled and nodded: "We also have to get some rest time. The San Antonio Spurs are not an opponent that can be dealt with. If we can have a few more days of rest,
If so, we can also restore our physical strength and increase our chances of winning."
Before the game even started, a verbal exchange between the two started during a handshake.
"You are very strong." Steve Nash smiled sincerely: "I think the Lakers have a good chance of winning the championship next year."
"Yes, this year we are preparing to win the Western Conference championship first." Adrian said with a smile.
If outsiders see it and cannot hear what these two people say, they are determined to think that these two people are good friends who have not seen each other for a long time. Look, they are so enthusiastic and unrestrained...
"I'm going to warm up. After I win the must-win game, I'll treat you to a drink." Clearly feeling that some eyes were focused on this side, Adrian suddenly let go of Steve Nash's hand and looked toward the Lakers' half.
Walking off the court. Steve Nash watched Adrian leave step by step, and the smile on his face finally disappeared. He returned to the Suns' half court expressionlessly and began to prepare for the warm-up before the game.
"What did he say to you?" On the bench, Kobe Bryant, wearing a suit, pulled Adrian. Although he can't play now, ordinary walking and other things have no effect.
.
"It's nothing, he told me that the Sun will definitely advance." Adrian shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.
"Huh." Kobe curled his lips, shook his head, and sat down without saying anything.
