Chapter 252 The curtain of the death fight

Rivers and his players are now ready. They want to use the victory to answer those boos and abuse. There is nothing better than defeating an opponent at the Staples Center.

However, in addition to making these wild boys lively and full of combat effectiveness, Rivers must also be wary of the head coach of the Lakers, the old guy nicknamed "Zen Master" who has surpassed Auerbach in the total number of championships. As far as Rivers is concerned, that guy is definitely a predator in the coaching business.

Phil Jackson holds nine NBA championships in his hands, from six championships in the Bulls era to three consecutive wins in the Lakers era, it is estimated that no head coach can do more successfully than this guy.

Auerbach has only won eight championships, at least in terms of number, Phil Jackson has surpassed this senior, but the old man Auerbach has never liked this opponent very much.

"A guy who only picks up cheap." This is the evaluation of Phil Jackson of the Auerbach team. You can't tell whether it is because of the annoyance after being surpassed by the opponent, or because the opponent's luck is too good.

Indeed, it is estimated that no one can have the good luck of Phil Jackson. First, there is the boss of Joe doing odd jobs under him, and then it is the turn of the Sharks for the most ferocious three years, and there is also Kobe Bryant who is on the rise.

In fact, not only is Auerbach not fond of Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, who is also stationed in the NBA coaching seat, is also a deadly enemy with this old opponent, and the relationship between them is also very antagonistic.

Anyway, people who are unhappy with Phil Jackson are saying that this guy is just a guy who wins games by relying on stars, his actual level has not reached a high level, and he did not invent the triangle offense.

It's just that such rebuttals didn't cause too much trouble. Phil Jackson still held nine championship rings and took the tens of millions of annual salary given by the Lakers to be his "Zen Master" at ease.

Although some people have said that this guy may be the greatest head coach ever, but if he really compares with Auerbach, at most he has more championships, but he is still inferior in all aspects of the competition.

Don't forget, that old guy Auerbach has not only won eight championships, he has also been in this league for nearly 50 years. The entire glorious history of the Celtics is inseparable from him.

As a coach, you can win championships, as a manager, you can strategize, and even after retiring, you can make the city of Boston miss this old man. It is estimated that no one can do it more successfully than Auerbach.

Phil Jackson is great, but he is more like a tramp, he will go wherever he can play his magical role, he will never become a symbol of a city like Auerbach.

Although the two have never competed in the same period, it is undeniable that the current Phil Jackson is definitely the number one big name in the NBA coaching business.

But in all aspects of the contest, Auerbach can instantly kill all those who try to surpass him. If you really let Phil Jackson be the team manager, he can't guarantee that the team can survive in the league.

It's just that it was a comparison between Phil Jackson and Auerbach, and it has nothing to do with Rivers. In the comparison of his qualifications with "Zen Master", Doug Rivers can only be regarded as a junior.

Regardless of experience or grades, Rivers has no advantage in front of Phil Jackson.

So when he finished motivating his players, Rivers was also wary of what "Zen Master" would do at home. After all, he was a wily guy, and if it really got cloudy, it would definitely kill him.

One is sixth in the Eastern Conference and the other is eighth in the Western Conference. The gap between the ranking and strength is not obvious. Considering the strength comparison between the East and the West, the chances of the Lakers winning at home are actually not small at all.

Only an idiot would think that they will lose. Rivers is not an idiot, so he chose the five most vicious guys in his starting lineup. On the opponent's territory, only a little bit of ruthlessness can survive.

Jefferson, Feng Chen, Rondo, Pierce, Sprewell, these five guys can be said to be the most powerful starting lineup in the hands of Rivers, even against a team like the Pistons, they can not fall behind .

The fiery atmosphere in the Staples Arena made Rivers dare not take it lightly, not to mention that he had to face an old-fashioned opponent. If he was not careful, his team might be overshadowed.

Rivers and his Celtics can lose, but they must not bow their heads easily in front of their rivals.

Therefore, no matter how the Lakers view this game, the Celtics intend to go all out.

"Boys, get ready to play, let those Los Angeles people see how powerful the Boston team is!"

The Celtics are preparing to make their debut, but the Lakers' arrangement is a little calm. Phil Jackson's calm mood seems to have never been in a hurry.

In fact, when he was young, Phil Jackson was definitely the image of a prodigal son. He could have a drink before the game and then ride his own Harley motorcycle to the court.

Looking at the photos of Phil Jackson when he was a player, you can know that the popcorn head and two mustaches are completely like a vagabond.

But ever since this guy led the Bulls to win six championships, that sense of calm has become the hallmark of Phil Jackson. Even if the situation on the field has already become anxious, this old guy is still very stable.

You don't know if this guy is really stable, or if he is a little slow to respond because of his age.

Some people even say that the old guy sometimes falls asleep sitting on the sidelines, but you usually can't tell.

Anyway, with such a posture, sometimes it can really stabilize the situation. If the head coach is not in a hurry, many players will stabilize their hearts, and then they may play a reversal game.

Moreover, "Zen Master" can always perform some miracles in terms of adjusting players' mentality and on-the-spot command.

You really have no way to get to the bottom of this matter. You can say that the "Zen Master" is amazing, or you can say that he is a magic stick.

Whatever it is, this magician or magic guy is sitting in the Lakers dugout right now.

Although the atmosphere in the Staples Arena was almost at its peak, Phil Jackson was able to ignore the surrounding environment and explain the starting lineup to his players slowly.

"Smush Parker, Kobe, Lamar, Vladimir, Andrew, you five go first."

"The Celtics have won six games in a row, so their momentum will be strong, and this is their first away game in the West. I think they should expect a good start, and the offense will definitely play very proactively. "

When Phil Jackson said these words, he kept looking at the players in front of him, but what he paid most attention to was probably the head of the Lakers, Kobe who had just changed to the No. 24 uniform.

"The opponent will be very proactive, but this is our home court, so I need you to be more proactive."

"The Celtics' offense will definitely be fierce, but you are the masters here. I need you to mobilize the wildest part of your heart, defeat the opponent in the offense, and prove your own strength."

Phil Jackson didn't talk much, but he had already given a very clear order. He is the kind of coach who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, but he needs his players to play more aggressively in this confrontation!

"Okay, get ready to go on stage, don't let those Bostonians think that we have been frightened by their ghostly screams, this is Staples, not a place where they can be rampant."

As the leader of the team, Kobe doesn't usually talk much, but before the team debuts, he wants to make the guys a little bit wilder. This is a battle against the deadly enemy!You must be more energetic!

The appearance of the Lakers does not need to be flashy, because these guys are the most gorgeous existence in the eyes of those fans. Even if they are wandering at the bottom of the valley at the moment, they are still the most dazzling group of big guys.

This is not the North Shore Garden Arena, so the Celtics are only greeted with boos, no gorgeous lights, and no cheers. Even the cheerleaders will give them the middle finger.

This is Los Angeles, this is Staples, a place that will definitely be hated for the Celtics, but it doesn't matter, because this hatred has been too long.

Chen Feng hadn't lived that long, so he couldn't feel the sense of historical precipitation, but at this moment he could clearly feel the ruthlessness of the big guy on the other side's gestures.

And at the moment when the game whistle blew, this feeling was even more obvious. Jefferson, who was jumping the ball more steadily, was stunned by Andrew Bynum, who was jumping the ball from the Lakers, and took the ball away from the air. !

Rondo originally wanted to grab the first spot, but just as he moved, Smush Parker took control of the ball one step faster than him, followed by a swaying crotch cut.

Rondo, who was easily wiped by the opponent, turned around and started chasing wildly, but Smush Parker didn't take too much. He avoided Rondo's stealing the ball from behind just one step away from the three-point line, and then came A half-turned vigorously flicked the ball, and directly found Radmanovic who was already in position outside the three-point line.

Stretching movements, steady shots, although Sprewell has retreated, but this time the cooperation is really too fast, not to mention blocking the shot, and he didn't even give him a chance to interfere.

"Shua!", the crisp voice drove the madness of the entire Staples Arena, and the lightning strike less than five seconds before and after was accurate and clean.

The Lakers have used this method to open the curtain for the deathmatch between the two. As for who can stand and enjoy the victory after more than 40 minutes, no one knows...

(Come on, what’s the matter? I said two good things about Kobe yesterday, so I was labeled as Comey, and there are six or seven more black tickets. Why bother, why bother? Everyone is watching the game, so it is necessary Are you so ruthless... Anyway, my birthday is coming soon, can you not be like this! It’s too inhuman! How can I say that I was on the second watch yesterday! Can we be kinder!)
