At the beginning of the second quarter, the little tiger sat on the bench as usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He's a little more physical than he was in Portland, but not enough to sustain him through the court like Kobe Bryant.

"When will this place be stopped?"

Zhou Zheng touched his chest, and he could clearly feel that his body had come to a critical point again...... During this period of hellish training with Kobe Bryant, he accumulated a lot of energy, but he couldn't burst out and form a qualitative change.

"There's no rush. ”

Winter turned his head sideways and comforted Tiger: "Take your time, Kobe Bryant was also very thin when he first entered the league. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled at him, Coach Winter is a good person, but his condition is not enough for outsiders. He nodded, and his eyes turned to the court.

The Dallas Mavericks swapped their roster to the starting lineup, while Kobe Bryant was leading Kwame Brown, Ratliff, Luke Wharton and Jordan Famar in a tough match.

After the Lakers lost the efficient transmission of Little Tiger, they could only rely on Kobe Bryant's forced singles to support the offensive rhythm every day.

And the Mavericks, on their side, gradually returned to a regular rhythm.

Although Zhou Zheng didn't get any amazing personal data in the first quarter, as he didn't appear on the court, the role suddenly became prominent.

"I've got to go up. ”

At the moment when Jason Terry hit a pull-up jump shot to overtake the score, Zhou Zheng turned his head sideways and said to the Zen master.

Phil Jackson shook his head slightly, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he glanced at the timer: "The team doctor and the physical trainer have warned me that you must not play more than 30 minutes in the playoffs. Each additional minute increases the risk of injury. ”

Kupchak gave the team of doctors and training a death order before the playoffs, telling them in an almost warning tone: "You must not let the little tiger or the black mamba have any injuries." You have to make a thorough kinematic analysis and work out the most detailed playing schedule. ”

For Lakers management, the playoff record is not as important as the health of these two aces...... This is their first year together, and everyone knows that their future is bright, and no one wants them to stop halfway through the game due to injury.

Based on the orders of the management, the medical team and the training team considered each other, and gave a ban of no more than 30 minutes for the playoffs.

Kobe Bryant's playing time was limited to 43 minutes.

Of course, the Black Mamba may not necessarily follow the arrangement, and with his intention to win or lose, he will also do it throughout the game.

So, Phil Jackson didn't limit him at all. However, little tiger, he is in charge of it.

"I don't think I have a problem playing 35 minutes. Zhou Zheng told Phil Jackson: "My single-game playing time record in the regular season is 41 minutes. ”

"Calm down. Phil Jackson said calmly: "As the controller of the team, you have to be more calm. ”

The little tiger closed his mouth at the right time and continued to chat, and the Zen master would definitely say those mysterious words again.

He simply didn't focus on the score on the court, but focused on the Mavericks' tactical runs.

The origin of the Mavericks' tactics is actually very simple, that is, to take turns to play alone, and Nowitzki, as the strongest point of attack, can easily cause misalignment on any opponent at the free throw line...... And the other players... Stackhouse, Josh Howard, and Jason Terry are all elite-level attackers, and each of them has the ability to score 20 points in a single game. Coupled with Devon George and Devin Harris on the bench, almost no team dares to easily enforce a trap defense against them.

"The way they prefer it is the jumper. ”

Little Tiger muttered softly, and then said with certainty that there is no top three-point shooter.

Phil Jackson sat beside him, his eyes closed, but his ears kept listening to the little tiger's whispering.

"Nowitzki is a seven-foot SG style of play, and his style of play is not as tough as expected. ”

"Josh Howard prefers ... Difficult jump shots. ”

"Jason Terry likes to make pull-up jumpers. ”

"Stackhouse has a penchant for one-on-one fights. ”

"Dampier is a reliable basket protector who is above the level of help. ”

“……”

Little Tiger has been fragmenting his thoughts, trying to extract a clear thread from the technical style of these players, and then crushing them in one fell swoop.

However, there were so many changes that it was impossible for him to figure it out...... His IQ alone has not yet surpassed that of a professional coaching team.

He was just thinking about a possibility.

In the middle of the ring, the little tiger turned his head not very surely, and he said tentatively: "Mr. coach, can we look for opportunities from outside the three-point line?"

Phil Jackson stood up, just in time for Kobe Bryant to burst into the box to create Dampier's third foul of the game, and Jackson called a timeout.

"There's a slight chance that you have to do your best. Phil Jackson told the Little Tigers: "Do what you want, and release your free throw line hook if necessary." ”

The Zen master gave the little tiger a bottom.

Immediately, he arranged for Sashavujacic and Radmanovic to be two more reliable three-point shooters to accompany him, as well as Kwame Brown and Kobe Bryant.

The Zen master didn't take out the tactical board to write and draw, but simply told the team members: "Follow the rhythm of the tiger." ”

Phil Jackson's tactical set-up has always been about artistic conception. For a long time, many people have criticized his tactical ability, thinking that what he is better at is... Inspire the ability of superstars to take over the game.

In fact, he is lucky enough to always meet superstars, Michael Jordan became the god of basketball under his guidance, Scott Pippen also achieved the reputation of the best second-in-command of all time, and of course, the thorn Rodman, who received the biggest criticism under his hands, but also got the highest achievement of his career.

Then, he led perhaps the most dominant super center in history, Shaq O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant, the best scoring guard in the post-Jordan era, to create the first dynasty of the new century.

Now... The little tiger fell into his hands.

The cultivation method he gives is still free-range, and he still lets him do most of the things on the court himself.

"The Dallas have an overwhelmed offense, but the Lakers are stretched. While Kobe Bryant is the league's most terrifying assault weapon, yet... There was no scorer around him who could step up. ”

McBrin objectively analyzed from the commentary platform: "Now the Lakers are five points behind. If they can't develop new scoring points, the margin will widen, and Black Mamba-style individual heroism will hardly kill a regular season champion in the playoffs. ”

"The next most critical role is the little tiger, as the Lakers' No. 2 man, if he can't come up with an offensive to assist the Black Mamba, then... The game will be completely out of suspense. ”

Reggie Miller said: "If you lose the first game, you will probably lose three games in a row!"

Reggie wasn't alarmist. Bill Wharton said inexplicably: "The Lakers can't think of a way to deal with it." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions. The Lakers' bullets haven't come out of the chamber yet. ”

The magician looked relaxed: "We still have heavyweight weapons in our arsenal that we don't have on display!"
