"Phil!" Jeanie Bass walked over and grabbed Jackson's arm, "Listen to me, you can't leave now, at least not at this time." ”

"Why?" Jackson looked at the anxious Jenny Buss, who was in a terrible mood right now. Even in the face of his lover, he didn't have a good attitude: "Why can't I leave if this team doesn't need me anymore?" Or do you want to say let me stay here and be that guy's puppet?"

"I'm sorry, dear, that's not what I wanted, this team is out of my control. So I have to leave, and hopefully this decision of mine won't affect our relationship. ”

Jackson wanted to leave after saying that, and he came to the press conference today to announce his decision to leave.

"Wait!Phil, listen to what I'm talking about!" Jeanie Buss also shouted loudly, "I know this Lakers team has broken your heart now, but I still hope you can stay." At least until the end of the season, I don't want to make the Lakers a laughing stock. ”

"Please, Phil, even if it's for me!"

Jackson sneered, he finally understood now. This woman turned out to be not really in love with her, just like everyone in the Bass family, they still valued the interests of the family above all.

Phil certainly understood Jeanie Buss' purpose in letting him stay. Although he still has love for this woman, he can't agree to such a request, and his self-esteem doesn't allow him to really become a puppet, even if it's just for a game.

"I'll never do something meaningless, stay just a puppet, I know this very well!"

Jackson refused, but before he could finish his sentence, another voice came.

"You're not going to be a puppet!" The person who came was actually Kobe, which made Jackson and Jenny Buss both startled and looked at Kobe Bryant suspiciously.

"I'm going to do what you ask me to do in the next game, I can guarantee that! ”

"But I hope you can really do something, at least I want to see something different. I'm just like you, we all hate failure!"

"Although I don't like you as a person, I still hope that you can really prove that your words are right as you say!"

After saying that, Kobe Bryant left, and the game was played like this, and he didn't feel like he was going to that bullshit press conference.

Jackson froze. Watching Kobe leave, his heart was filled with anger. No coach with nine championship rings in his coaching career would accept such doubts.

"How's it going, stay!" said Jeanie Buss, looking at Jackson with a wistful expression.

Jackson nodded heavily, "I promise you! By the end of the season, I'll prove it to that guy." ”

Jackson's appearance at the press conference made all the reporters present excited. They had a premonition that something big was going to happen when Jackson disappeared in the second half, and when Jackson appeared, people's attention immediately shifted from Lamar and Van Gundy to Jackson.

"Excuse me。。。。。。 ”

Before the reporter could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jackson: "We don't have any problems with the team, I was just a little unwell in the second half." As for Shaq, his toe injury has returned. Originally, this game was going to be suspended, but he insisted on playing with an injury, but unfortunately, there was still a little problem in the second half. ”

"I think you'll have a chance to interview me for the next game, so if you have any questions, stay for the next game. But I hope that when the time comes, coach Van Gundy and I will be able to switch roles. After all, always sitting in the position of a loser is not something to be happy about!"

Jackson's words stunned everyone present that what they expected did not happen.

Coach Jackson didn't resign in anger?

Is Shaq O'Neal just a recurrence of a foot injury?

Could it be that there is really an understanding within the Lakers?

Phil Jackson's last-minute declaration made rumors of instability within the Lakers and discord seem to have been shattered. The reporters of the well-done media were deeply regretful, and they were also constantly speculating about what caused Jackson to change his mind at the last minute.

Could it be that Jeanie Buss played a beauty trick on him in the dressing room?

A large part of the reason why Jackson left the Bulls to join the Lakers was because of love.

After all, Jenny Buss wants to look like and have a background, and it is only natural that Jackson is deeply in love. This time, it is not impossible for Jeanie Bass to take out her biggest weapon and capture Jackson by her side.

Or is Kobe Bryant bowing his head?

After losing three games in a row, the championship dream is about to be shattered again. Such a result is not acceptable to anyone, let alone Kobe, who is particularly paranoid about victory and honor.

When the team was facing a desperate situation, an understanding was reached with O'Neal and Jackson, and the three of them were united again, which seems to be easy to accept.

Of course, the result will have to wait until the fourth game starts to have a real result. Everything is still just speculation, and it can't be true.

The mystery of Jackson's retention has only caused quite a stir in the United States. For the world, this news has only stirred up a small wave. Because the final game of the finals is about to start.

"I know the Lakers are in a very bad situation right now, and no one but die-hard fans believes we have any other chances this season. Trailing 0-3 on aggregate, it's really frustrating. But it's not over yet, anything can happen, now it's just a matter of giving it our all, taking every opportunity and trying to win every game. ”

"As for the conflict between me and O'Neal and Coach Jackson, I don't want to say anything. In his press conference after the last game, Coach Jackson had already explained his absence from the second half, and that was the way it was. Now we have a good atmosphere in the team, and even though the situation is not good for us, all the players are united, and that's it!"

This passage was said by Kobe Bryant in an interview with reporters before the Lakers left for New York, and this time it is not difficult for people to feel that even this black mamba's self-confidence is not very sufficient, and he works hard and strives hard, which is not in line with his previous style.

There is also Kobe Bryant who actually said that there is no contradiction between him and Jackson, but looking at his face, he knows that he is lying, just perfunctory reporters.

Maybe this is Jackson's last game with the Lakers, maybe Jackson can just play a puppet in this game, and the position is just the dignity of the Lakers.

The Lakers have made the final preparations before departure, boarding the plane to New York.

The Knicks are also making final preparations, but what they have to prepare is not for the game, they don't need to prepare anything for this game, everything is ready, and now what they have to do is to beat the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth time, and then excitedly lift the O'Brien Cup after 30 years of separation from the city.

This not only created a brilliant future for the New York Knicks, but also opened a skylight for the Knicks' globalization plans. To that end, what the Knicks are doing now is something more meaningful.

Because of Wang Zhizhi in the Knicks lineup, the Knicks set their sights on distant Chinese mainland from the beginning. With the Knicks' relentless publicity in recent years, basketball fans as far away as China have paid several notches to the city of New York.

It is believed that with Wang Zhizhi about to get the first championship ring belonging to Asian players, the Knicks' current status in the hearts of Chinese fans is definitely on par with the Houston Rockets with a drug name, and even has a tendency to replace the Houston Rockets as another home team in China.

So today's Madison Square Garden arena looks so different from what it does on a regular day. The opulence of the past is gone, replaced by a strong Chinese atmosphere.

Lamar was also full of surprises for the celebration plan planned by the Knicks' top management.

When James Dolan put the plan that the Knicks management had planned for a long time in front of Lamar, the wealthy boss was still a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, the Knicks now have such achievements entirely because of Lamar, and Lamar's preferences represent the popularity of New York.

Fortunately, Lamar was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw the plan in Dolan's hand, and immediately expressed his approval.

Dolan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after seeing Lamar's attitude. After all, as a successful businessman, profit is still crucial. Once Lamar vetoes this plan, although Dolan will reluctantly veto it after weighing it in the end, it will leave a pimple in his heart.

Now that Lamar has raised his hand in agreement, then it's the best of both worlds.

Speaking of which, this plan was planned with reference to Lamar's washing, and Lamar has reverence for China. As a Knicks executive, it is natural to know very well. Naturally, New Yorkers should do what they like.

Whether it's sincere or not, or for the sake of China's huge economic interests. After discussion, Knicks owner Dolan, team management, and fan leaders decided to bring a strong Chinese atmosphere to the NBA in the final game of the Finals.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room did not become much easier because they led 3-0 in total, but seemed more tense. The final moment has finally arrived, and it will be tantamount to a decisive battle for the players who are hungry for glory.

"I don't want to play any more tactics today, I can tell you a long time ago, I'm sure you're all mature lads who know how much weight this game really is. ”

"I hope this is the last game, I don't want to delay the celebration any longer, and I don't want to put the celebration on the road!"
