During the halftime break, the Lakers locker room was naturally filled with cheers. Phil Jackson said nothing and allowed the players to celebrate their good performance in the first half.
Phil Jackson no longer has any thoughts about this season. Today, the Lakers played quite well, but the reason why the Lakers can get such a big lead is not because of how well the Lakers themselves played, but because of the Spurs.
The performance is really poor.
Of course Phil Jackson understands that this is the result of the Spurs gradually becoming paralyzed by their consecutive victories. But can this kind of thing continue?
Kobe's ankle injury has recurred, and he will definitely not be able to come back this season. His future state will depend on his recovery this summer. Adrian performed very well, even far surpassing Phil Jackson's performance against
His expectations were not that Phil Jackson didn't expect Adrian's growth, but that he didn't expect Adrian's growth rate.
Raising his head slightly, Adrian looked at Adrian who was talking excitedly to people like Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown, and Turiaf. He grew up too fast.
It is a good thing, but also a very bad thing. For the current Lakers, Adrian's growth will undoubtedly give the Lakers another offensive core. In terms of offense, the Lakers have changed more, whether it is
From a tactical and strategic perspective, Adrian's growth will be of great help to the Lakers.
But growing too fast is not a good thing.
Although Kobe didn't show it, Phil Jackson also vaguely felt it. He was dissatisfied with Adrian taking more and more possessions of the ball. Especially when Kobe was on the court. Adrian had been restraining himself.
**. But when Kobe was injured, Adrian unexpectedly showed a scoring ability that was not inferior to Kobe's. Coupled with Adrian's strength and organizational skills, he may have had a negative impact on his status.
of unstable thoughts.
There is no doubt that if adjustments and dredging are not made, the conflict between the two people will be an inevitable outcome. At that time, the Lakers will once again face the choice between Kobe and Adrian, just like Kobe back then.
The choice between O'Neal and O'Neal. But the current situation is undoubtedly more complicated than the situation at that time, not only because Adrian has enough
He is young and has unlimited potential, even far surpassing Kobe's back then. This is especially because of Kobe's contract. It started in 2004 and lasted for seven years. It is worth 136.4 million U.S. dollars, including
There is also the only right of veto on trades in the league, which means that as long as Kobe is unwilling to accept it, it is impossible for the Lakers to trade Kobe.
Thinking of the complex situation he was about to face, Phil Jackson felt that his brain cells were being severely depleted. If faced with such a situation again, what would the Lakers choose? What kind of choices would they have to face!
Relatively speaking, Phil Jackson didn't care much about the game in front of him.
It doesn't matter whether you win or lose such a game. Phil Jackson doesn't have any expectations for the Lakers' possible promotion. The opponent is the Spurs, and the coach is **Vitch. With the Lakers' current situation, if they want
Winning four consecutive games against the Spurs and successfully advancing, is this possible?
Even as Lakers coach Phil Jackson doesn't believe this possibility exists.
The atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room was very lively. On the contrary, in the Spurs' locker room, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
"You performed very well." **Vicci glanced coldly among all the players on the field for a while. This cold gaze made them all have goosebumps.
'Emperor', it is not surprising to use this word to describe **Vic's dominance in the Spurs. In addition to being the head coach of the Spurs, he is also the invisible general manager of the Spurs. Although the apparent general manager is not
It's Vicki, but everyone knows that if he wants someone to get out, he can really start packing his bags and prepare to leave San Antonio the next day. Even a superstar like Duncan would not dare to disobey*
*Vitch. There have always been rumors that Duncan seems to be **Vitch's son. On the one hand, this shows the good relationship between Duncan and **Vicki, but on the other hand, it undoubtedly shows that even Duncan is like this.
The team's number one superstar, **Vicci still has him firmly in his hands.
"As an amateur team, your performance is really top-notch. You can play in the NBA!" **Vicci sarcastically said without mercy. Suddenly, the expressions of all the players who had played on the court changed, no matter they were the main players.
Still a substitute, such fierce irony, there is no doubt that **Vicci's dissatisfaction with them has reached its peak.
"Okay, don't worry, everyone, just perform well in the second half. After this game is over, we can have a holiday. Let's all enjoy the holiday together." **Vicci said with a smile, the smile on his face was absolutely sincere, but
No one dared to answer at this time. Who knows if he got up and interrupted, **Vic would put himself on the trade list for next season the next day.
**Vitch won’t trade himself? No one has this confidence. Except...
"Mr. Greg." Tim Duncan stood up with a serious face: "Don't we have to win the championship before we can take a vacation? If we take a vacation now, Mr. Pitt will not approve it."
**The corners of Vicki's mouth twitched: "Go to the corner and squat for me."
So, the next moment, Tim Duncan squatted on the corner of the wall.
He had been watching Duncan obediently squatting on the corner of the wall, and then turned his head. Vicky helplessly discovered that after Duncan's trouble, the dangerous atmosphere just now had disappeared. For the Spurs, this was undoubtedly
The best result. At least, the players who had just been scolded by him had obviously come to their senses at this moment. He did not want these players to be scolded by him.
"Okay, guys!" **Vicci clapped his hands. Such actions and tone made the Spurs generals feel relieved. In their view, Duncan's gag just now clearly weakened **Vicchi's ability.
Suppressed anger. This is the best thing for them.
Of course, the actual situation is that Vicki, a seasoned fox, and Tim Duncan, a doctor of psychology, teamed up to play with everyone in the palm of their hands, without them even realizing it.
"I won't apologize for what I just said, because your performance in the first half was too amateurish. I think I played better than you. You know, I have to get up and go to the toilet three times every night."*
*Vicci's words are still fierce, but this fierceness makes me better. This kind of criticism will not make the players resentful, but will make them courageous.
"No more, Mr. Gregg!" Robert Horry, the treasure of the Spurs locker room and key player, stood up suddenly and said loudly: "We just took a nap in the first half and let those little kids
The kids will be proud for a while, but in the second half they will know why the Spurs are the Spurs and not some other second-rate team!"
"That's right, isn't it just more than 20 points behind?" Another veteran of the Spurs, the 'treasure of the locker room' Michael Finley also stood up at this time: "We will win, I have never been better than now.
This idea is even more certain!”
The average age of the Spurs team is at the forefront of the league, which means there are many veterans in their team. Although compared to young players, veterans have physical degradation and physical problems, etc., there is one thing that veterans are young players
Incomparable. In their long careers, they have experienced too many tense moments. What should they do at such times? No one needs to remind them or arrange them. They will do it better than the coach.
More satisfying than expected.
Under the leadership of the two veterans, the atmosphere in the Spurs locker room suddenly became lively. Everyone stood up and roared loudly, as if they couldn't wait for the second half to start, and then they went on the court to completely clean up the Lakers.
**Vicci nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, gentlemen, you are in good spirits, as it should be. So for the tactics of the second half, Manu, at the beginning of the second half, you will be the main attacker, and the one who defends you is called
Sasha boy, don't tell me he can stop you."
"Don't worry, coach, he can't even catch up with my shadow." Regarding this, Manu Ginobili is full of confidence and breaks through. He has never been afraid of any defense.
"Tony, you come down first in the second half."
Tony Parker nodded. **Vicci did not explain why he wanted to replace him. But Tony Parker did not dare to ask **Vicchi in a hurry. He knew that **Vicchi was quite dissatisfied with him. Today he
The performance is really terrible.
"And you Bruce, I don't want to see that kid from the Lakers scoring with ease in the second half. You can calculate for yourself how many points he scored above your head!"
"Don't worry, coach!" Bruce Bowen nodded gloomily and said through gritted teeth, "I will give him a memory he will never forget."
**Vicci suddenly frowned. Bowen's unique tone made him immediately realize what Bowen was planning to do in the second half. He didn't mean it, and the current situation was not such that Bowen would carry out these methods.
But after a little hesitation, Vicki did not choose to stop Bowen.
All he wants is victory. As for the means, from the fact that Bowen was able to secure the starting small forward position under **Vitch, it can be seen that he does not care about means at all. He has no intention of letting Bowen take action, but
Since Bowen was going on his own, he didn't bother to stop him. (To be continued...)
ps: There is no other way to be decisive. It’s not that I don’t have time to write, but that after I came back, my train of thought suddenly stopped. I looked at the computer screen for half an hour and my fingers didn’t respond. It seems that I still need to make some adjustments. Speaking of this year’s Heat
Can they still defend their title? The Heat's Big Three will probably break up next year.
