Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 207 Locker Room Conflict

Shaquille O'Neal hasn't come back yet, it's still lightning fast time!
Wang Dazhi's bottom-line serve goes straight to the quarterback for a long throw!The ball flew across the court towards Kobe!
But in the ground wrestling, Kobe couldn't take off fully at all!Wang Dazhi's first pass went straight out of the bottom line!
Seeing such a situation, Delmar Harris remained expressionless. Wang Dazhi and Kobe alone were not enough to increase the speed to a pace that the Utah Jazz could not keep up with!

If the other three don't fully cooperate, then fighting fast is empty talk!

In the first home game of the Western Conference semifinals, Karl Malone is in a hot state, and it is difficult for Robert Horry to have any substantial interference with him.

In the mid-range position, Karl Malone got what he wanted, and the Los Angeles Lakers never had a successful fast break. When Shaquille O'Neal returned to the court, the Los Angeles Lakers were already 15 points behind.

Coach Delmar Harris' strange move can be declared a failure in this game. In the Energy Solutions Arena, the Utah Jazz always lead by about 20 points. The Los Angeles Lakers have no chance of a comeback.

Until the last moment of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers did not make any waves. The Utah Jazz kept their home court as they wished and took a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.

Back in the locker room, the faces of the Los Angeles Lakers generals were very ugly.

Even Shaq, who used to be the first to comfort his teammates, sat in the corner and sulked.

When coach Delmar Harris asked all the reporters away and closed the door of the locker room, all eyes were on his face.

Delmar Harris: "It was a bad night, but it's okay, we will continue to play like this in the next game!
I believe that after the running-in of this game, we will definitely win one in the next game! "

Coach Delmar Harris tried to look as positive as she could, even though she was a little frustrated herself.

Shaquille O'Neal: "Mr. Harris, I didn't come to Los Angeles from Orlando to play tactical inventor role-playing games with you.

IMHO, such an attempt at rotation was a total failure.

Everyone knows that the losing team in the playoffs is going to make changes. We've already been beaten up. I can't see why we should be obsessed with such a stupid method! "

This is the first time Shaquille O'Neal has questioned coach Delmar Harris in the locker room since he came to the Los Angeles Lakers.

As for the conflict between stars and coaches, most people here are not surprised. As long as the team wins, everyone will brag about how harmonious the atmosphere in the team is and how great the chemical reaction between the players is!

Generally, except for the championship team that season will be spared, other teams will be more or less exposed to some conflicts in the locker room.

There's no third party involved in this Shaquille O'Neal-Delma Harris debate.

After this game, Shaq remembered the fear of being dominated by the Houston Rockets that year. In fact, in the four games where the Orlando Magic were swept by the Houston Rockets, the difference in each game was not too big, but the Los Angeles Lakers Meeting the Utah Jazz again in the playoffs was another humiliation by the opponent.

This sense of powerlessness made Shaquille O'Neal very frustrated, because he felt that his team had no hope of a comeback. As for the tactical debate with coach Delmar Harris, he was just using the topic to vent his depression.

Delmar Harris: "I am in charge of the tactical level, and I will also take full responsibility for on-the-spot scheduling!
If in the end the team is eliminated because of my tactical mistakes, then I am willing to take all the responsibilities!

As a player, you just have to be yourself! "

Only 0:1 behind, coach Delmar Harris believes that it is far from the time to admit defeat, so he must now firmly control the right to speak in the locker room.

If the head star takes the lead in turning back, then the Los Angeles Lakers have no hope of a comeback.

Shaquille O'Neal: "Can you hold us accountable for a year of hard work?
My teammates and I have worked hard for a year in order to win the championship, but now such a child's play tactic is just making fun of our sweat! "

Faced with the toughness of coach Delmar Harris, Shaquille O'Neal's resistance became even worse.

After careful consideration, Wang Dazhi stood up among the crowd.

Wang Dazhi: "As the party involved in the tactical change, I support Coach Delmar Harris."

With a superstar like Shaquille O'Neal on the team, no one expected a first-year rookie to stand up and say such a thing at such a time.

And Wang Dazhi didn't seem to be impulsive, he looked directly at Shaquille O'Neal coldly, without the slightest sign of flinching in his eyes.

The look on Shaquille O'Neal's face is amazing!

Shaquille O'Neal: "My God, this is crazy!

Do you have a say here, who do you think you are? "

Being provoked by Wang Dazhi with such eyes, Shaquille O'Neal naturally would not remain silent.

Wang Dazhi: "I am a Lakers player who follows the coach's arrangement and is always ready to go on the court and dedicate all my strength.

You are paid with a maximum salary and have unlimited fire rights to do whatever you want.

I am nothing compared to you.

But if you don't have our teammates who cover up the insignificance, what can you do by yourself?

Can you single out the entire Portland Trail Blazers?Did I send myself to Salt Lake City, or did we work together to get here? "

In fact, Shaquille O'Neal was at fault for this matter. He didn't know how to refute for a while, but he wanted to get up and beat Wang Dazhi.

Naturally, Wang Dazhi, who wanted to solve the problem, would not engage in a meaningless fight with this person. Wang Dazhi strode to the door of the locker room, and pushed the door open.

Wang Dazhi: "Come on, let's have a WWE match in front of reporters from all over the world!"

Shaquille O'Neal calmed down a lot after Wang Dazhi made such a move, because the power of the flashlight was enough to quiet a ferocious beast.

Wang Dazhi: "I'm sorry everyone, now is not the time for interviews."

Responding with a top hat, Wang Dazhi closed the door.

Wang Dazhi: "Fortunately, you also know that family ugliness should not be publicized.

If you really have to calm down, let Coach Delmar arrange the next game tactics for us. "

Things have developed to this point and there is no room for maneuver.
