Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 115

At the end of the free throw, the referee's whistle sounded, but this time it was the Lakers who took the initiative to call a timeout.

You know, this is Phil Jackson, who has always been as stable as a mountain, and it is rare for him to call a timeout so early.

"The game has just started, we need to make some changes and Wang has to be targeted.

Especially his three-pointer, Kobe, don't let him get a chance outside the three-point line too easily. "

Thinking back to Wang Hao throwing 12 three-pointers to beat the Lakers in the last game, Phil Jackson was a little uneasy.

Originally, he thought that the incredible thing of 12 three-pointers was definitely a flash in the pan.

Who would have imagined that the game had just begun, and Wang Hao threw 2 three-pointers all at once and scored 7 points.

After a few minutes, the advantage the Lakers had finally accumulated was instantly destroyed.

Phil Jackson had a hunch that if he remained indifferent, he would still allow Wang Hao to play a three-pointer.

The final result is bound to be that a rain of three-pointers will pour down the entire Lakers team.

Two consecutive three-pointers, and even a 3+1, Phil Jackson could not be careless.

As the season progressed, the Sonics still ranked second in the Western Conference, second only to the record of the Lakers.

If it's just a few games, there is still a dribbling component, but now the schedule is nearly half, it's not just luck.

With Wang Hao's performance becoming more and more stable, the Supersonics have become a strong team in the Western Conference by virtue of their trinity defense.

The goal of the Lakers is directly at the championship. In this case, no opponent should be underestimated.

If it was just a playoff-level team, Phil Jackson would naturally not attach so much importance.

But for the potential opponent of the supersonic speed, he naturally did not dare to be careless.

Especially in the last match, Wang Hao staged a crazy three-point performance.

If the same scene happens again this time, it's definitely something Phil Jackson doesn't want to see.

The reason is very simple. On the field, although morale seems illusory, it is real.

Once the Lakers players are afraid of Wang Hao's three-pointers, who knows what impact it will have in the playoffs?
Or, let Wang Hao show his self-confidence, and every time he meets the Lakers, his state will explode.

Don't think this is impossible. For those young people who are full of drive, the possibility is not low.

As a top coach in the NBA, Phil Jackson has seen too many accidents, and even more incredible things.

And what he needs to do is to suppress all accidents, which is very necessary for a strong team.

The game is back again, and now, it is not so easy for Wang Hao to get a chance from beyond the three-point line.

In addition to Kobe following closely, the Lakers will choose to make substitutions whenever they encounter a pick-and-roll.

Even O'Neill rarely took the initiative to defend himself.

No way, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the head coach's arrangement, you have to follow it.

Just like Kobe, he was the first to be unhappy, he didn't need help from others, he wanted to defeat Wang Hao with his own hands.

Only in this way can the fans change their minds and vote for him again for the All-Star vote.

It's a pity that Phil Jackson didn't know Kobe's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Phil Jackson is certainly a coach who indulges stars, whether it's Jordan's gambling addiction, O'Neal's lack of training, or Kobe's obsession with singles.

For the most part, he doesn't care.

However, today's Kobe does not have this qualification. In the eyes of Phil Jackson, O'Neal is the core of this team.

Facing the expanded defense of the Lakers, Paul Westphal also made a decisive challenge, that is, to hit the basket more.

Whether it is a breakthrough from the outside or a low single from the inside, in this case, there is a lot to do.

As for Wang Hao, he is using his defensive appeal to constantly create opportunities for his teammates.

Needless to say, the Sonics played well.

Gary Payton continued to break through and create damage, and Ruben Patterson and Brent Barry also made air cuts one after another.

However, in the end, the Sonics still lost the game.

100:110
凭借着奥尼尔的33分10篮板，还有科比的27分6篮板1助攻，湖人队轻松取胜。

Originally, in the first three quarters, the Sonics could still play back and forth with the Lakers.

However, in the decisive stage of the fourth quarter, O'Neal and Kobe stepped forward to take over the game one after another.

On the Supersonic side, Wang Hao was looked down upon too much, and he didn't have a good chance at all.

Although he has attracted a lot of defense, the opportunity will appear on his teammates, and it depends on his teammates whether he can score goals.

Today, however, the rest of the Sonics played mediocrely.

文贝克16投6中，布伦特巴里8投2中，还有拉沙德刘易斯的5投0中。

There is only one Gary Payton left, and Gary Payton has no good way to do it alone.

Losing this game, the gap between the Sonics and the Lakers was further widened.

More importantly, this also exposed another flaw of the Sonics, that is, the lack of strength of role players.

As a pitcher, Wang Hao is already easy to be targeted, but his teammates can't grasp the opportunities created by attracting the defense.

In this way, the Sonics suffered the longest four-game losing streak of the season.

In the four games, Wang Hao was the target of key restrictions, averaging 17.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

This performance is definitely not bad, but the Sonics still lost, and they lost badly.

There is no way, the team as a whole has a shooting percentage of less than 40%. In this case, it is indeed impossible to win.

Watching the fans leave the field in a little disappointment, watching the laughter of the Lakers, Wang Hao felt a little helpless.

"Wang, you did a good job, don't do this, trust your teammates, they will adjust their state."

Field's voice rang in his ears. He, the assistant coach, was almost becoming Wang Hao's exclusive coach.

"Of course I understand, in fact, I also believe in them very much, they will definitely be able to adjust their status.

It's just, you know, losing doesn't feel good, and I hate it.

Moreover, I think I haven't done enough. If I can help the team in more places besides three-pointers, we can still win. "

"Wang, don't be like this, you have already done a good job."

"Whether it's me or Paul, we're all so proud of what you've done on the field this year.

Not just us, look at these fans, or these teammates, they are very satisfied with you.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. "

I don't know why, but Field always feels that his assistant coach is not worthy of his name, but like a psychiatrist.

There is nothing wrong with Wang Hao's psychology, and he doesn't need a psychiatrist. He knows exactly what he is thinking?
What else can I think about, it is naturally more powerful.
