NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was played, and the game was played.

Chapter 270 Coaching

“The dispute between Peter Pan and the Sharks eventually affected the game. The Lakers, who were originally in a good situation, gradually fell into a disadvantage after the conflict between OK and the Lakers began to emerge.”

“Yes, the Lakers have the best rotation lineup in the league, but don’t forget that their opponents in the finals are not ordinary people either.”

“The Knicks’ starting lineup can play back and forth with OK. The Lakers’ inside line without O’Neal is not Wang Song’s opponent at all.”

“In just a few minutes, when O’Neal was not on the court, our Chinese men had already scored 7 points.”

Looking at the Knicks, who were in a good situation, the two commentators of the Central Sports Center showed expectations on their faces.

At the same time, the text live broadcast room was full of comments.

——【The Lakers without O’Neal are really not a team. If Kobe leaves the game and there are Payton, Fisher and the like to fill in, then the Lakers without O’Neal will directly fall from a first-class team to an ordinary playoff team. The gap is obvious. 】

——【The more fierce OK is, the better. If they don’t fight among themselves, the Knicks will really go far in this game! 】

——【Indeed, O’Neal’s dominance under the basket is still unquestionable. Wang Song in his rookie season is still a little thin and can’t dominate the big shark in offense and defense. 】

——【Don’t be careless, Knicks. It depends on D’Antoni and Phil Jackson’s respective dispatches next. If the Zen Master can suppress OK and let them reconcile for a short time, I don’t think the Knicks will win; otherwise, the Knicks will win. 】

——【Can they suppress OK and still show their displeasure on the court? 】

——【Both are arrogant guys who are unwilling to bow their heads. You can say that Kobe is young, but now he has grown up to be one of the best scorers in the Lakers. It is difficult for the declining O’Neal to give up his position! 】

···

Back to the game.

Watching the Knicks, who are in their heyday, continue to catch up with the score, the Zen Master frowned and dared not be careless.

Since he put O’Neal and Kobe on the bench, he has never communicated with them again, but has been standing on the sidelines and talking to the Lakers players who came on the court.

He doesn’t want to keep talking to OK like a gossipy woman. Even if it costs losing this G1, he must let this pair of conflicting guys understand who really needs this championship trophy.

Putting aside his coaching career, the Zen Master has held 2 championship trophies in his player career alone.

After he retired as a player, he became a famous coach with 9 championships in the league. The Zen Master, who personally created the Bulls Iron Triangle Dynasty and the OK Dynasty, would not become bitter and nagging because of OK’s temporary conflict.

Even if Rodman was a thorn in the Bulls period, the Zen Master was intimidating without anger.

In his opinion, the conflict between OK and OK was nothing more than two children arguing with each other.

As for how much the arguing would go, or when they would wake up, it all depends on how they get along with each other.

When the game was in the third quarter with four minutes left, the Knicks played a small climax of 11-2, and once expanded the score advantage to 10 points.

Kobe, who had been on the bench without communication, couldn’t hold his temper, and took the lead in bowing his head to express his intention to play with the Zen Master.

For a guy who never admits defeat, sitting on the sidelines watching his teammates being ruthlessly crushed by opponents, but he could do nothing to help, was torture for Kobe.

The Zen Master directly agreed to this request.

But when O’Neal saw that the Zen Master was slightly willing to give in, he said that he also wanted to play, but was rejected by the Zen Master.

“Shaq, have you reconciled?”

Faced with the Zen Master’s questioning, the indignant O’Neal sat on the bench again.

The Big Shark understood that he and Kobe had expressed their attitudes in today’s game.

The Zen Master was the same!

Since OK had a conflict, the Zen Master decided to satisfy them thoroughly.

For those who disobey discipline, this Lakers coach with a clear eye has always had his own methods.

Didn’t Kobe say that he didn’t need O’Neal?

Then the Zen Master was ready to see what the Lakers could do without O’Neal under Kobe’s leadership!

Of course, the Zen Master would still follow the principle of equal treatment. When Kobe is tired, he will replace O’Neal and let them travel at different times to see if these two “partners” who are diametrically opposed really don’t need each other on the court.

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

In the absence of the big shark, the Lakers’ highlights in the first half were targeted by the Knicks.

The advantage was gone under the defensive defense.

D’Antoni immediately responded when he saw Kobe on the court.

Houston was replaced during the free throw period, and the double-team strategy against Kobe continued.

OK had proved this when both of them were on the court. As long as Kobe didn’t pass the ball to O’Neal, and cut off the connection between him and the rest of his teammates.

“Little Flying Man” naturally became insignificant!

Not to mention that now, they don’t have to care whether Kobe and O’Neal have reconciled, they just need to focus on Kobe.

Kobe, who returned to the court, also realized this. He had the lesson of 3-0 before. After returning to the court, he began to reduce the proportion of shots and increase the number of rim attacks.

Throwing himself in the air again and again, using three or five rim attacks in exchange for one or two fouls.

For a while, it really helped the Lakers hold the score.

But the good times didn’t last long. This kind of play has two sides.

The player sitting in the Knicks’ restricted area is the league’s shot-blocking king. He can’t be said to be the best rim protector in the entire NBA, but Wang Song’s threat in the restricted area can be said to be the first-class existence of inside players. Coupled with the Knicks’ targeted defense, Kobe’s physical strength was quickly exhausted.

Helplessly, in this situation, Kobe can only start to pin his hopes on his teammates.

But at this time, the Lakers teammates can’t carry this banner without O’Neal.

Perhaps the Zen Master just wanted to tell OK the importance of each other in this way, and he was far from wanting to lose the game.

When Kobe was in a dilemma, he called a timeout and replaced O’Neal.

In the stands.

In the front row of the audience.

“It’s really Phil, he dared to use the finals as an experiment.”

Jordan stroked the championship ring on his hand, and a hint of playfulness rose on his face.

“If only one of the two can stay on the court, then the Lakers may be doomed in this game!”

Bird, who has experience as a coach and general manager, obviously has a more thorough understanding of the current situation on the court.

He is not a failed manager like Jordan!

Bird is still good at building a team and coordinating the relationship between players.

Olajuwon nodded in approval.

Even though Olajuwon has never had a rich management resume like the other two, he understands from the perspective of a player that the player’s game status is not like a plug-and-play power bank.

Kobe and O’Neal, who took turns to rest off the court, both needed time to regain their cold hands after leaving the court and returning.

The gap in this aspect alone was far behind the Knicks.
