You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 787 Was it an accident?

Kobe picked the right moment to leave O'Neal behind and go off the dribble alone.

It was the third round in which O'Neal's offense was not smooth, and he seemed to be unable to bear it. At this time, he took over the offense, and the Zen Master would not say anything.

They still don't pass the ball to each other.

The seeds that Mo Mengchen planted last year seem to be the key to destroying the Lakers?

He wasn't sure. With the strength of the Lakers, even if the two were at odds, there would still be a considerable threat.

If OK just doesn't pass the ball to each other, but has a touch, the Lakers can play [-]% of their combat power.

The core of the triangle offense is to create opportunities for ace players to fight alone. They choose to fight alone, which caters to the core idea of ​​tactics in a sense.

It's just that O'Neal doesn't pass the ball to Kobe, and Kobe doesn't pass the ball to anyone. From another perspective, it also violates the core requirement of the so-called strong alliance in the triangle tactics.

The triangle offense is a tactic that can involve superstars, and it allows for multiple cores.

This is the reason for the success of the Bulls Dynasty. It suppressed part of Jordan, but completely released Pippen; the OK Lakers are similar products in theory, but Kobe's growth rate and ambition far exceed Pippen.

Mo Mengchen deliberately guided the Lakers into a trap, and then the Pistons controlled the rhythm of the game.

Halftime: 62 to 57, the Pistons lead the Lakers by 5 points.

After watching this half of the game, in the commentary booth, Lambiel turned off the microphone and asked his partner strangely: "How did the Lakers become like this?"

"What?" Johnson asked.

"How many times did they score as a team in the first half?" Lambiel said in amazement. Five Adrian Dantleys."

Johnson explained OK's contradiction in detail, and Lambiel finally understood what was going on with this strange dispute.

"Indeed, if these two people can work together against the enemy, they can play a game beyond imagination." Lambiel suddenly thought of an interesting hypothesis, "If they suddenly reconciled, would the Pistons have survived?"

Neither Johnson nor Smith was sure.

With his love for the team, Johnson nodded and said: "Of course, we beat them once last year, and we can do it again this year."

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers' starting guard was replaced by Fisher.

Because Brian Shaw made 5 of 0 three-pointers in the first half, his poor three-pointer allowed Mo Mengchen to double-team O'Neal with impunity.

In order for O'Neal to play singles comfortably, the Lakers must risk Fisher being blown up by Mo Mengchen.

Sure enough, seeing Fisher, Mo Mengchen's whole spirit changed.

He usually looks very murderous, but now he is simply a killing machine, taking exaggerated steps, pushing away Fisher's defense, and scoring with a one-step throw from inside the free throw line.

64 is better than 57
"How dare Coach Jackson let you play?" Mo Mengchen looked at him strangely.

Fisher didn't say a word, he had a thick skin, no matter how he was blown up by his opponent, he wouldn't have any thoughts.

Then, Zen Master saw that Fisher was not affected by Kobe and the Sharks, and passed the ball to the Sharks first.

This is a feature that Zen masters appreciate very much about him.

Fisher and Kobe are students of the same grade, and the two have the best relationship on the team, but he has the temperament of a boss. He only participated in the draft after playing in college for four years. Although he entered the league in the same year as Kobe, he is several years older than the latter. .

Calmness is Fisher's biggest characteristic. He will not be swayed by the form on the court, and he will not keep giving the ball just because OK keeps asking for the ball.

If it is not for the lack of height, he is the answer to the Lakers' No. 1 position.

Then, O'Neal drove the wolf down, dominated the paint, and slapped Big Ben's head.

Lambiel commented: "Fortunately, I retired early."

"This sentence should be said by Shaq. Fortunately, you retired early." Johnson said a slang word that old fans understand.

Lambir shook his head modestly and denied: "That's not the case."

Mo Mengchen, who suddenly became violent on the offensive end, convinced Zen master that Fisher is his G-spot. Why is he so sensitive to Fisher playing?

Purely because of Fisher's diminutive stature?

Zen Master doesn't think that Mo Mengchen discriminates against these short guards so much, because according to his height, it's not normal for him to play a guard at his height. ?

It's not that Fisher has no temper, it's just that he can't see whether he is angry or not. For example, in this round, Mo Mengchen made it clear that he wanted to eat him raw. Naturally, he couldn't back down. He made a foul and sent him to the free throw line.

Mo Mengchen made two free throws.

66 is better than 59
Currently, Mo Mengchen took care of all the Pistons' scoring in the second half.

Immediately afterwards, Fisher crossed half court and passed the ball to Bryant on the weak side.

He adopts egalitarianism towards the discordant OK duo and does not favor any one person.O'Neal this round and Kobe the next.

OK has nothing to say about this kind of equal distribution of ball rights, and Zen Master also likes this method.

In this case, this is the only way for OK to fight the enemy together.

Watching Kobe attack with the ball, Zen master thought of all the things in the regular season so far. When OK had a dispute, many people called on him to interfere with the dispute, so as to establish the absolute authority of the head coach. For any coach, this is embarrassing. Heartwarming choice.

Both inside and outside the team want him to do this, but he is very cautious. Not only does he not participate, but he also tries not to inquire.

Zen Master has seen too many similar things. He thinks this is a childish petty trouble. Excessive intervention may turn this small matter into a major event that shakes the fundamentals of the team.He went through something similar when he was in Chicago.Jerry Krause always likes to intervene in everything up and down the team. In the end, the situation continued to deteriorate until the day the Bulls dynasty disintegrated.

In contrast, Jackson favors another Jerry approach -- that of Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf.The boss, who has great talent and strategy, once told him that the best way to deal with disputes is to let them fend for themselves.The purpose of this is to avoid making wrong decisions because of anger, so as to avoid more difficult messes. If you are lucky enough, these conflicts may be resolved automatically.

Therefore, when the OK contradiction broke out, Zen master used the strategy of doing nothing to stand on the sidelines until the playoffs. When they were won by the Kings and lost the home court advantage, he began to worry.

These fears became reality in the finals.

A small conflict has become a big hidden danger that shakes the foundation.

Jackson didn't know what he did wrong. The two of them, who were good at it, were fighting for the ball and the position of the boss. They didn't stop even after reaching the finals.

At this moment, Kobe succeeded with a one-vs-two attack.

61 is better than 66
If Kobe can assist O'Neal with peace of mind, the triangle offense can explode with the most terrifying power ever.

Even Jordan and Pippen couldn't make the triangle offense reach this level of power, because Pippen's offense is two grades behind Kobe's.

How happy is it that two superstars who are capable of winning the scoring championship and who are suitable for the triangle offense overlap at their peak?

The Zen master once had a beautiful vision, which is now in ruins.

The relationship between Kobe and O'Neal is difficult to get along. If it continues like this, let alone a dynasty, they can help the Lakers win this year's championship, and they have already achieved their goal.

Kobe's offensive suddenly fell, and the Pistons suddenly changed their formation.

This change made the Zen master change color. Every player on the field pulled up to the high position, and then quickly moved the ball, like a kitchen knife shredded, smashing the Lakers' flawed defense.

This offense has the stamp of Princeton, but it's not quite Princeton, at least not the Princeton of the Kings.

O'Neal encountered such a tactic like a monk of Zhang Er, completely lost in defense.

Hill took the opportunity to slip through the back door, the Pistons passed the ball to his hands like lightning, and Devil Hill made a layup.

Seeing this scene, Zen master felt uneasy in his heart. He worried that this was a new tactic for the Pistons, but in the next round, this tactic disappeared.

They proceeded to invoke a familiar scalpel tactic.

"Is it an accident?"

thought Phil Jackson.
