I really just want to strike

Hearing this, Mark was startled for a moment, and then for a moment.

no......

David, we haven't finished the games in February yet, are we already going to decide who will be the MVP?

But after thinking of the Raptors, Mark understood.

Obviously, no matter how the next season goes, no one can stop Stern's determination to write the "legacy basketball" script.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Mark said so and so to Stern.

"Very well, let's do it like this. We have to build momentum for this matter in advance." Stern was very pleased with Mark's suggestion.

Don't tell me, in this life, Stern, who sees Mark becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, really thinks that after he retires in the future, it is a good choice for him to inherit the position of president.

Because I don’t know if a certain kid named Adam has lost his mind. In order to increase his income, he asked Stern to allow NBA betting to be legalized after the lockout ended.

And how could Stern agree to this decision?

In Su Feng's previous life, despite the fact that there was always a betting industry saying that the NBA is a commercial league, NBA games are all scripts written in advance.

However, while the NBA is essentially a business league, there may have been occasional refereeing issues at NBA games prior to Stern's retirement...  

However, Stern will also put defensive teams like the Spurs and Pistons into the Finals.

To put it simply, Stern may not understand basketball, but absolutely no one understands the truth that commercial leagues are based on competitive leagues better than him.

As long as the NBA doesn't play games properly, even if Stern is partially manipulating the script, he won't make it clear in terms of the nature of the game.

Therefore, in Stern's view, Mark, who, like himself, also does not support the legalization of gambling, is his best successor.

As for Adam?

Um......

Let him make a lifetime contribution to African basketball!

……

At the end of February, after the Raptors defeated the visiting Timberwolves in Toronto, they had a perfect end to the team's first month of the new season with a record of 2 wins and 11 loss.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of February, the Raptors also came to the first position in ESPN's combat power rankings.

For the Raptors, who were still ranked last last year, there is no doubt that everything they have achieved in the new season can only be sighed with emotion:

The NBA deserves to be a place where miracles happen.

After the game in February, Su Feng also won the NBA player of the month for the first time in his career.

2月，苏枫场均能够拿到23.5分、6.8个篮板、2.5次抢断、1.0次封盖、1.4次助攻。

In the new season, with the addition of the team's strong offensive firepower, Su Feng's shooting percentage is 49.4%, three-point shooting percentage is 39.5%, free throw percentage is 88.8%, and he has begun to move closer to the "180 club".

Because the NBA Player of the Month during this period does not distinguish between East and West, so the Player of the Month at this moment, in terms of gold content, you can even understand it as a "regular season MVP candidate".

From the perspective of personal performance, the best player in the NBA in February should be Iverson.

But after the Raptors slaughtered the 76ers by a full 44 points, it is impossible for Stern to give this honor to Iverson.

Therefore, after weighing the team's record and Su Feng's stable offensive and defensive performance, Stern decisively awarded this honor to Su Feng.

And after reaching another small milestone in his honor...

Su Feng felt that he had to ask Kobe what kind of birthday present he planned to give him this year...

……

2 Eighty chapters of the century puzzle, unanswerable

what! ?

birthday present?

In Los Angeles, after hanging up the phone with Su Feng, Kobe decided to blackmail Su Feng for a while.

Because in the eyes of the witty Kobe, Su Feng didn't call to ask for a birthday present for him...

This guy is clearly reminding himself that he has already won the honor of NBA Player of the Month, okay?

no love.

There is no love at all.

Thinking of how he stayed by his side last summer because he was worried that Su Feng would be in a bad mood after being "relegated" to the northern border, Kobe felt quite stupid.

All right......

To be honest, Kobe has been quite sour recently.

Because before the start of the season, in Kobe's mind, the next NBA, no accident, should be his era.

However......

In this shrinking season, the Lakers started with 6 wins and 6 losses, and now their heads are almost crooked.

And if there is no comparison, then Kobe might not be so uncomfortable.

However, just as the old Buss was also struggling with the issue of coaching...

In the new season, the Raptors, who turned out to be out of nowhere, are undoubtedly the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the tyrants.

Whether it's Jordan who is still unwilling to hand over his power, or Su Feng who is climbing to the top, or the group of talented young people in their lineup...

As Kenny Smith said, the current Raptors are the brightest star in the NBA galaxy.

Therefore, for Kobe, who has practiced hard for more than half a year, he really can't figure out whether it is a problem with him or a problem with this era.

You said, why can't the Lakers win the game when you play such a team?

Tell me, why did Su Feng gain a lot of fans even though he fought so viciously?

It is said that heaven rewards hard work, but you said that you are so hardworking, why...

Why are the Lakers even being robbed by the Raptors of their exclusive "" label now?

Kobe couldn't figure it out.

And the more he couldn't figure it out, the more stubborn Kobe went further and further on a path that was completely opposite to Su Feng's previous life...

In this life, after Su Feng "changed" Kobe's "chemical reaction" when he was a child, the three irons of the four generations had already become the three irons of the four generations.

But the good news is...

After the time entered March, the Lakers owner Buss and the LOGO man began to think of a way.

Plus the god assist from Klaus before...

So, shortly after "Silver Fox" Harris dismissed get out of class, the Lakers officially announced that "Zen Master" Jackson brought his triangle offense...

Tired!

And Los Angeles, many problems that have been puzzling the Lakers, will also be solved easily.

Perhaps, the "Zen Master" triangle offense is not for everyone.

But there is no doubt that the triangle offense is the spell that unseals O'Neill in the current version.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 99/00 season, under the blessing of the triangle offense, O'Neal not only won his first championship in his career, but he also won the All-Star Game MVP, Regular Season MVP, Finals MVP and Season scoring champion.

In the memoirs of Phil Jackson in the future, the "Zen Master" himself once said that O'Neal is actually more suitable for the triangle offense than Jordan.

Because no matter how efficient Boss Joe is in scoring in the low post, his dominance in the low post cannot be compared with this fat fish.

And as far as the "old hooligan" is concerned, if you limit his scoring area to the low position, it will only be like a monkey drawing a circle, framing himself to death.

Therefore, this is why at the end of the Bulls, Jordan became less and less fond of playing the triangle offense.

Anyway...

You can say that it was hit right, or it could be said that it was destined.

In the long history of the NBA, even in the future, there has never been any team like this Lakers team with "OK" that is suitable for the triangle offense.

Even the Lakers that Su Feng remembered consisted of Kobe, his sister-in-law, and Ao Xiaoqiang could never compare with the Lakers in the "OK" era in terms of dominance.

As for Jackson, who is good at coaching stars and is familiar with people's hearts, shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, before passing it on to the Lakers' triangle offense, he knew that he had to take full control of the Lakers before he could turn them into himself. desired shape.

In Su Feng's previous life, when he was a coach, Jackson liked to keep a distance from the players, because in his opinion, only by making the players unable to guess his own thoughts, could he guide the team like a worldly expert.

For example, he likes to send books to the team members and let them think about it by themselves.

For example, he likes not to call a timeout during the game and let the players think and solve problems by themselves.

In 1993, when Jordan retired for the first time, because of the ups and downs of the Bulls at that time, everyone felt that the prospects of the Bulls were worrying.

So, before a game against the Knicks, Jackson suddenly canceled the team's scheduled training and took everyone to prepare for team building.

As a result, halfway through, the players who haven't waited for the Bulls are looking forward to what to play next...

"Zen Master" suddenly stopped the driver and ordered the only woman in the car, a team assistant who had worked with the team for many years, to get off.

Then, Jackson also made the decision to fire him.

And this nonsensical move made the Bulls players at the time unable to guess what Jackson wanted to do.

Therefore, for most players with low IQs, after a long period of time when you can't guess what Jackson is thinking, you have no choice but to obey him.

And this is the first lesson of the "Zen Master" "Team Management":

———I don't want you to think, I want me to think.

Similar to Su Feng's memory, in order to make it easier for him to better control the Lakers, "Zen Master" first found O'Neal in private and told him that he would be the unique core of his triangle offense.

And then, he also found Kobe, and said the classic "I don't allow anyone to question your style of play" to Kobe.

In this way, after establishing an OK team status, "Zen Master" slowly looked at the Lakers players in the training session and said:

"Now, let's practice the triangle offense."

In addition, in order to allow O'Neal to have better physical fitness to play the next game, Jackson agreed to O'Neal's application to miss the team's usual training.

Because of his growing body, in fact, starting from this season, O'Neal's weight does not allow him to do a lot of training.

Maybe Jackson has many black spots in the future, but you cannot deny that it was his decision that allowed O'Neal to play an absolute sense of dominance during the Lakers period.

With the shortened season and tight schedule, "Zen Master" knows that it is unrealistic for Lakers players to master the triangle offense in a short period of time.

However, for Jackson, who has already played 72 wins and 10 losses, what he values ​​more than the regular season is that in the near future...

The upcoming decisive battle.

From the moment he chose to join the Lakers, "Zen Master" knew that in this season, the Lakers had only one opponent.

And this opponent is in the north.

……

From the 1st to the 8th, after the coaching change, the Lakers' record began to pick up quickly.

With a wave of five consecutive victories, they hammered the former Lakers coach Harris into the toilet.

To be fair, Harris felt casted.

After all, he and Jackson have the same cards, but Jackson is just able to pick a chicken, what can you do?

All right......

It may be a bit Zaharis' heart to say it, because even if Jackson doesn't take office, the record of this Lakers will improve rapidly.

Actually, where did the Lakers get so many actors?

To put it bluntly, the key to their inability to win before is because O'Neal hasn't regained the feeling of the game.

It seems that in the first 12 games, O'Neal scored a lot in each game, but in fact, this shark is practicing while playing.

Wake up, you expect this fat fish to be an ascetic like Kobe during the lockout period?

Then why don't you make him into fish head with chopped pepper?

So, let's kill this thing...

Sometimes, you just have to sigh, the goddess of fate just likes to throw you aside after sleeping with you.

uh...

Old scumbag.

Of course, the Lakers' comprehension of the triangle offense was indeed faster than Jackson himself imagined.
