Chapter 380: The Eagles' Boss Problem
In the post-match press conference, Phil Jackson came out first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After falling behind 3:1, there was not much frustration on Zen Master's face, and he said: "Records are meant to be broken, and I think the Lakers can be the first team to successfully turn the tables from 3:1 down." ”
Local reporters in Los Angeles suddenly came to their senses, and they hurriedly asked, wanting to know where Phil Jackson got his confidence?
Phil Jackson said: "The Eagles' No. 1 position has always been their weakness, and while Bibby's unexpected injury is regrettable, we must not let go of this opportunity. ”
Phil Jackson is also in a hurry, and this kind of remark will definitely cause a lot of controversy.
But there is no way, 3:1 behind the opponent, if you want to reverse, you must mobilize all aspects of the force.
Therefore, Jackson's words should be divided into two aspects: on the one hand, Fisher's kick was not intentional, and Bibby's hand was an accident, and on the other hand, Jackson was also cheering for the Lakers to let the players not lose hope, and the Hawks' No. 1 position has a major hole.
Nguyen Er Niu and Woodson also attended the press conference later.
Erniu said: "The victory is of course happy, but MB's injury makes everyone unhappy, we are all waiting for further diagnosis, I hope there is good news from the hospital." ”
A reporter asked: "What do you think of Fisher's kick?"
Ruan Erniu thought for a while and said, "Things have happened, and I don't want to express my opinion." I just hope MB gets better and gets back on the team as soon as possible. ”
The reporter reluctantly asked, "Do you think Fisher's kick was intentional?"
This is a tabloid reporter who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Erniu said a little unhappily: "I only care about MB's injury now, and we will definitely win the championship, the next question." ”
Erniu's choice is wise, and at this time, it makes no sense to question Fisher or the referee.
Now it's better to prepare for the worst and think about how to win the championship without Bibby.
Woodson was questioned by the mainstream media, and the Los Angeles Times reporter asked, "Without Bibby, who would you let go of in the No. 1 position?"
Woodson could only say this: "This is a team secret, I can't penetrate it for the time being, and when I get to the game, I will naturally find out." ”
In fact, Woodson at this time was also at a loss.
The loss of Bibby is far from being as simple as data on paper for the Eagles.
His experience, his big-picture outlook, and his big heart at critical moments are all precious treasures for the Eagles.
For the young eagles, they need a battle-hardened veteran to take charge.
After all, Fan Maniac is old, and his physical strength does not allow him to fight for too long. A player like him is invincible in the world when he has a convulsion, but once his head is hot, no one knows what will happen.
For the use of Fan Maniac, Woodson discussed with Er Niu and Yu Sen that he could only give him 5-10 minutes of performance time at most, beyond which his efficiency could definitely not be guaranteed.
As for the other young man, Assi Law, it is unclear how far he can grow in the future, but at the moment, he is not enough to take the starting position for the Eagles.
Looking at it this way, the weakness of the Eagles in the No. 1 position is suddenly unacceptable.
He often made cameo appearances in the No. 1 position before and in the middle of the season.
But when it comes to the Finals, he'll need to spend a lot of experience against Kobe Bryant.
In this case, it is obviously inappropriate for him to distract himself from being a point guard.
In fact, not to mention Bibby, even the absence of other role players can sometimes be fatal for a team.
Thinking about the Rockets in the 04-05 season, if Juwan Howard had not had a sudden viral myocarditis, who knows if the Mavericks could still reverse the Rockets 4:3 to advance.
That year, Howard's statistics were only 9.6+5.7 per game, but his absence had a huge impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the Rockets.
And Bibi is now even more indispensable to the Eagles.
The Eagles waited anxiously for news from the hospital.
Eventually, Mike Bibby's injury report came out, and thankfully, Bibby sprained his ankle, but it didn't hurt the bone, so as long as it was treated conservatively, it would be fine to recuperate for a week.
In other words, it should be possible to catch up with G7, and if the injury recovery is good, G6 may also come back early, but the doctors are definitely against this.
As for G5, that is, this game in three days, it is impossible to catch up.
That night, Woodson, Erniu, and Wo Sen represented the whole team and went to visit Bibi in the hospital.
Bibi was in a good mood, and when the three of them went, he was sitting on the bed reading the latest novel.
Erniu said: "It seems that you are in a good mood, MB!"
Bibby said: "It's good to have confidence in you, but I'm tired of this season, and you'd better get rid of the Lakers in G5 so I can go back to Atlanta with the O'Brien Cup." ”
Then, the four of them laughed heartily together.
"When will I be discharged from the hospital?"
"Tomorrow is fine, although the doctor said it would take a week to reply, but I think three days is enough, maybe Mr. Woodson can put me in the squad," Bibby said. ”
Woodson shook his head and said, "No way!"
The four of them chatted for a while, and before saying goodbye, Bibi asked, "Have you figured out who should be in the No. 1 position in the G5?"
"I can go up on top." ”
Erniu shook his head and said: "I don't agree, even if you go to make a cameo appearance in the No. 1 position, it will consume your own energy too much."
You know, Kobe's defensive load has always been on your shoulders, and you don't have much room to take on the organization. ”
"Trust Assi, Nick and Sarry, they're also part of the Hawks," Woodson said. MB, you just need to recuperate and get ready for the O'Brien Cup. ”
The next day, in the Eagles' training hall, Woodson began rehearsing the lineup.
However, the competitive state in practice and the game are two different things, and no one knows if the Hawks' weak No. 1 position can stop the Lakers.
Fisher, Famar and others certainly don't have an advantage in front of Bibby, but they are certainly much more stable and efficient in front of Assilao, Van Madman, and Salim Stadameyer.
There is no bench depth at the No. 1 position, which is also an unavoidable problem for the Eagles.
It's just that I didn't expect this problem to explode on the stage of the finals.
Erniu didn't go to Gallag's house or the little fat girl in the past two days.
There were calls from both sides, but Ruan Erniu politely refused them one by one.
He's now focused on the finals and doesn't have time to think about anything else.
I watched the tape over and over again, and I went to the coaching staff over and over again to discuss tactics.
Although Er Niu is a rookie, he has gained a lot of say with his super god performance and huge commercial value in one season.
Woodson, as the head coach, also supported him almost unconditionally.
This is both a right and a responsibility, and if the supergiant can't lead the team to the championship, then there is a question of legitimacy for his own privileges.
On the other hand, if you are a supergiant who can win the championship, everything is easy to say.
