Chapter 1382 I Don't Agree Phil Jackson, born on September 17, 1945, is 2.03 meters tall. A graduate of the University of North Dakota, he was selected by the New York Knicks at No. 17 and played for the New York Knicks for 11 years and the New Jersey Nets for 2 years from the 1967-1968 to 1978-1979 seasons. He won the 1973 NBA championship with the Knicks and was named to the 1968 Rookie of the Year team. Because of his deep interest in Eastern philosophy, especially Zen Buddhism, he is also often revered by the media as a "Zen master".

In Phil Jackson's opinion, the Los Angeles Lakers are the strongest team he has ever seen. The center has the giant beast of history - "Big Shark" O'Neal is in charge, and the power forward has the strongest forward in history - Karl Malone, this interior combination is invincible at least this year.

On the outside, although Payton is old, he still has the residual power, plus Kobe Bryant, who is known as the strongest scoring guard in the NBA after Jordan, is second to none in the league in terms of defense and offense. As for the only weakness - the small forward position, Phil Jackson is not worried at all. There are already "four kings" on the court, and as long as this position is equipped with a blue-collar player with solid basic skills, no big holes in defense, and can shoot three-pointers. And this kind of player is everywhere in the NBA.

Zuihou, coupled with his exclusive "triangle offense," is enough to sweep the NBA.

Of course, the reason why this team is not perfect enough is because of the feud between O'Neal and Kobe. It's not a discord between the two of them, it's a discord in power. A team can only have one boss, and in the first two years, O'Neill was the well-deserved boss, and that was indisputable. However, in the past two years, Kobe Bryant's rapid rise and ranking among the league's top stars will naturally no longer deign to the "second oldest in 10,000 years".

The discord between the two made Phil Jackson feel a headache. But fortunately, for Phil Jackson, who is a meditation Zen practitioner, this is not difficult to solve. As long as the victory continues, this problem will not erupt. And as the big sharks get older and Kobe Bryant matures, this problem is solved.

Of course, the premise is that you have to keep winning. However, with the current configuration of the Los Angeles Lakers, it is not difficult to keep winning.

Phil Jackson glanced at the situation on the court, the third quarter has been halfway through, the Los Angeles Lakers in the Houston Rockets using the "heart attack" constant harassment, the score has been gradually narrowed, fortunately, the strong strength of "F4" is not so easy to crush, although O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are already a little incompatible on the court, but the strength of the two is still there, plus the efforts of Malone and Payton, so they are still 6 points ahead of the Houston Rockets.

It doesn't matter what Jordan is doing at the moment, it's better to expand the score first!--Phil Jackson thought silently.

For the Los Angeles Lakers in front of him, in Phil Jackson's view, the only thing that can beat it is the omnipotent "God" he once coached-Michael Jordan. Although Michael Jordan's aging has become more and more obvious in the past two years, Phil Jackson, who knows Michael Jordan well, deeply understands that maybe Michael Jordan is no longer able to dominate a game, but the strength to dominate a game is still there. In order to avoid a recurrence of incidents and cause any mutations, it is better to solve the Houston Rockets as soon as possible.

Phil Jackson stood up and made a substitution gesture. Replace Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant frowned. Now is the time when the game is the most close, but Phil Jackson replaced him, obviously in Phil Jackson's heart, O'Neal is still a little more important. Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant felt unhappy for a while. He has done his best to prove that he is more suitable to lead this team in the latest chapter of the martial arts, but in the eyes of Phil Jackson, no matter how much he does, he is not as good as O'Neal.

While having a great center can lead to a championship, the Michael Jordan era was a time when a guard beat the best center of all time. Michael Jordan can do it, and he can do it. However, Phil Jackson Weishenme didn't give him a chance!--Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant's heart was nameless. Therefore, when he came off the court, he didn't talk to Phil Jackson, just put on a headscarf and sat there with his head down.

Phil-Jackson shook his head secretly. Today's Kobe Bryant hardly belongs to Michael Jordan at his peak, whether it is jishu or the heart of victory or defeat, but the overall situation is not as good as Michael Jordan. Now the weakness of the Rockets on the court is on the inside, and they can't resist the combination of O'Neal and Malone at all. On the outside, the combination of James and Wade is enough to freeze Kobe Bryant, and at this time he naturally chooses to attack the inside.

Originally, Phil Jackson wanted to comfort Kobe, but after thinking about it, he might not be able to please him at this time, so he gave up this idea. Anyway, as long as the team can keep winning, then the "ok" combination will always be together.

At this time, although the Los Angeles Lakers lacked Kobe Bryant on the court, the ball played more and more fluently. The score also gradually opened up in alternating changes. By the end of the third quarter, the score had stretched to 10 points.

"Lin, the team doesn't seem good. Now it takes someone to step up. What about Jordan, where is he?" asked Jessica Alba, who was watching the scene with concern.

Now as long as a veteran fan can see that the current situation of the Houston Rockets is not good. After the Los Angeles Lakers lacked Kobe Bryant and the offense became fluid, the Houston Rockets didn't have much to do. The inside line was shattered and shattered, and the outside line, which was supposed to be open, did not perform well due to the over-tension of James and Wade. If it weren't for the lack of time left in the third quarter, I'm afraid the score would have stretched beyond 10 points.

First-graders, after all, are first-year students, and they are still too tender!--Lin Feng sighed.

James and Wade, who just entered the league this year, are really too tender. If it were the two of them three years later, I'm afraid the game would be completely different. It's a pity that the two are still too immature now.

Looking at the elated Los Angeles Lakers camp in the distance, Lin Feng frowned. What should we do now? Under these circumstances, I am afraid that after the start of the fourth quarter, the score will continue to increase.

And just when Lin Feng was worried, the fourth quarter of the game began. As Lin Feng worried, O'Neal successfully hit the inside line at the beginning of the game, and caused a foul 2+1, and the score was stretched to 13 points. On the contrary, James's strong attack was missed under the interference of Malone. Against Karl Malone, the toughest power forward in history, James' proud strong body can't take advantage of anything.

Then O'Neal hit again successfully, and the current Yao Ming couldn't prevent the big sharks at the peak, and the score was stretched to 15 points. After that, Wade used his speed to break through, but in a hurry, he was stealed by Payton, but because Wade was too fast, Payton failed to control the basketball after the steal, and the basketball went out of bounds, and the Houston Rockets ball.

The audience sighed. The Lakers fans at the scene all understood that if this goal was scored again, the game would be completely decided! Unfortunately, it was just that short.

Peyton looked at his hands in annoyance. Originally, the outcome of this game had been decided, but unfortunately at the juncture of Zuihou, Liliang used it a little bigger, and the basketball went out of bounds. But this is also because Wade's speed is too fast, otherwise he would not have gone out of bounds.

Looking at Wade, who also looked annoyed, Payton also sighed in his heart. This kid, as well as the strongest high school student in history, is afraid that he will be the protagonist of the NBA in the future, and the Houston Rockets have really selected a few good players! The future belongs to the Houston Rockets!

But for now, it still belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers. Before O'Neal is old, the Los Angeles Lakers are unbeatable!--Peyton said proudly.

Restart the serve. However, after James' missed hit and Payton's steal just now, it was obvious that Wade and others were a little depressed, and this was directly manifested on the court. The breakthrough was unfavorable, the pass was inaccurate, and in the end a sloppy outside shot was wrong. Naturally, the ball didn't go in.

But fortunately, O'Neal's strong shot didn't hit this time. When he saw that Billups with the ball was starting to sway a little, Rudy Tomjanovic quickly called a timeout. Now the mood of the players on the court is obviously wrong, and if you don't call a timeout and are chased by the opponent, it will really be over.

After summoning the players to his side, Tomjanovic gave some incendiary encouragement, but James, Wade, Yao Ming and others were still depressed, and it was obvious that Coach Tomjanovich's encouragement was in vain.

Young players are young players, easy to make mistakes, and easy to slack off. - Tomjanovich sighed helplessly.

"Come on, guys, don't let this game be a regret in your lives. Yao Ming, play bravely, it doesn't matter if you foul! Boozer, you must help Yao Ming defend O'Neill. James, you're the strongest small forward, be decisive. Wade, your speed is unmatched, play to your strengths. Billups, you're the only veteran player on the field, don't let me down!" Seeing that the timeout was approaching, Tomjanovic hurriedly ordered. But I don't know how useful these words will be.

As the timeout whistle ended, players from both sides took the field again. However, to Tomjanovic's disappointment, the players still did not improve, and the game was still extremely jerky.

"Smack!", O'Neal made a shocking hat and slapped James with a tomahawk dunk!

The scene was suddenly filled with a tsunami-like cheer!

It's so powerful, it's so powerful! O'Neal is so powerful. However, it is undoubtedly a shocking news for the Houston Rockets players. If James can score this dunk, he may be able to change the situation on the court and improve the morale of the Rockets. It's a pity that it is now being slapped away by O'Neal, which can be said to have dealt an immeasurable blow to the morale of the Rockets.

It's a win!---Phil Jackson smiled.

The Staples Arena was also filled with the sounds of the lake, celebrating the Los Angeles Lakers' imminent Finals.

Lin Feng's face turned pale. I didn't expect the game to turn out like this. Did you really overestimate the strength of James, Wade and others?

"Haha, Smith, look, I'll just say that the Los Angeles Lakers will win! The Los Angeles Lakers in front of me can almost be called the strongest in history. Barkley laughed wildly. But for some reason, Barkley inexplicably felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.

Smith also sighed. This season, it belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers. As for the Houston Rockets, the future belongs to them. It's just a pity that veterans such as Michael Jordan are going to be lost again.

But at this moment, the Staples Arena, which was originally like a tsunami, suddenly fell silent. All the fans looked in one direction - the locker room of the Houston Rockets.

A man wearing the Houston Rockets' No. 23 jersey stood silently with a turban over his head. However, although it didn't say a word, everyone felt a strong battle intent emanating from it, as if it was standing there like a god of war.

Michael Jordan, that's Michael Jordan, he's back!—everyone exclaimed.

Since the second half, everyone, whether it is the fans, the players, the coaches, the reporters, thought that Jordan was physically exhausted or something, and gave up the game. Unexpectedly, Jordan appeared at this time. In the toughest moment for the Houston Rockets, he showed up.

Is he finally here!—Phil-Jackson chuckled in his heart.

For some reason, Phil Jackson felt that the Jordan in front of him was unusually strange and unusually familiar, which was a very strange feeling.xzsj8., and this feeling made Phil Jackson a little uneasy.

At this time, Jordan moved. Stepping on the heartbeat of all the fans, he walked to the bench of the Houston Rockets step by step, looked at Coach Tomjanovic, and slowly said four words - I want to play!

Hearing these four words, the expressions of the five Houston Rockets players on the court suddenly relaxed. In the second half, relying on them to support the Houston Rockets made them too tired, too tired. Facing the mighty Los Angeles Lakers, they were almost out of breath and almost collapsed. Now that Jordan is here, it's fine.

Michael, haven't you given up yet! At the age of 42, facing 9 minutes of the game, a difference of 15 points, and the strongest opponent you have ever made, have you not given up! - Phil Jackson also stood up.

Malone and Payton also looked at Michael Jordan in unison. Since entering the 90s, in the past 10 years, Michael Jordan has been in the way, blocking their dream of winning the championship, does Michael Jordan still want to stop them today!

No, they can definitely let Jordan ruin their only dream again!--Malone and Payton roared, their eyes shining with a terrifying light.

At this time, Wade had already come to the sidelines of the court automatically, ready to replace Jordan on the court.

But at this moment, Lin Feng stood up.

"Michael, I don't agree with you playing now!" Lin Feng said coldly.
