Chapter 35: What is True Madness

Phil Jackson eventually followed Jeanie Buss's advice and wore that orange tie on race day.

Jeanie Buss swore to him that this tie would definitely bring victory to the Lakers.

The Zen master was not a superstitious person, but he knew that if he didn't wear this tie and lost this match, Jeanie Bass would definitely not give himself the same treatment as he did last night...... It's been a long time since he's been licked from his toes to the top of his head.

This feeling is even cooler by the roller coaster!

When he sat on the bench and the game officially began, his head couldn't help but think about it.

In the meantime, drip!

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game.

What made him feel relieved was that when Little Tiger appeared tonight, the cheers finally did not overshadow the black mamba. Although it is still the second highest in the field, more people have realized that the little tiger is no longer their little tiger now. He came here to slaughter the Lakers.

Even though it was Kupchak's idiot who caused all this, now... If he kills the Lakers.

With Darius Myers' injury, the Golden State Warriors are missing a very important piece of the roster: the team doesn't have a player who can both provide a straight shot from the free-throw line to the box and help the defense as well.

The Tigers had to use the likes of Zach Randolph, Mirishic, Michael Petrus, and Monta Ellis.

The effect of using such a lineup is... Bynum easily beat Randolph on the jumper, and the Black Mamba got the basketball first.

The Black Mamba knows the little tiger too well.

He knows more about Tiger Tiger's movements in the arena than his wife does in the bedroom: Sometimes, he only needs to see Tiger Tiger move his eyebrows slightly to know what he's going to do. And Vanessa many times even had to take pictures of her thighs herself, so she knew how to change her position.

Obviously, this tacit understanding cannot be cultivated overnight.

After all, a game takes at least two hours.

And in that regard, the Black Mamba is really a bit rushed, because he never misses any of the nights in Los Angeles at half past four in the morning.

The Black Mamba took the ball to the front court and handed it to Pau Gasol on the strong side.

He took the tiger cub to swim on the weak side.

Miriőić faced Pau Gasol, who was undoubtedly superior, although he didn't like crazy action defensively. But in the case of a hard shot, you can still get the ball into the basket.

This time, his basketball was given to Derrick Fisher from beyond the three-point line.

Fisher shook off Monta with a brilliant counterrun and hit a three-pointer!

Montaellis' defensive talent is about one percent of his offensive talent.

He didn't go to college, he didn't understand advanced functions, nor did he know how to defend positions.

And, most importantly... His preferred position is that of a shooting guard, and his height and weight are considered a disadvantage among point guards.

Before Little Tiger regained his full athleticism, he was the shadow assassin of the Golden State Warriors. But now that the little tiger has recovered to 100 percent, his function is a little bit more chicken.

Back to it.

Instead of launching a quick attack, the tiger played a classic UCLA cut, where he passed to Mirisic high and then quickly intertwined into the box...... It was then passed back to Petrus.

Petrus enters the box and creates a foul on Bynum!

Swish!

Swish!

Two free throws and two hits.

The Zen master shouted from the sidelines, "Lamar... Watch out for restricted area protection!

Phil Jackson may be a little lacking in reflexes or details on the spot, but his control of the big picture of the game is the best in the league. He knew where the game would come and go, so he asked Lamar Odom to do a good job of protecting the paint zone.

Swish!

The Black Mamba hits a step-back jumper.

"Tiger's defense has been very timely. But you can't ignore the 7 cm height difference. Earl Johnson emphasized: "The little tiger is only 1.91 meters, although he always claims to be 1.93 meters. However, his data sheet in Hollywood shows that he is only 1.88 meters. ”

It's a bad joke.

Charles Barkley looked a little embarrassed: "Are you mocking me for being only 1.93 meters but pretending to be 2.03 meters?" Man, I'm a two-time rebounding king. And, I understand the ups and downs of Tiger's height very well. In the NBA, all players except Yao Shu are raising their height. Oh, and KG, that guy doesn't want to play center. But in Hollywood, being too tall can cause a lot of character problems, and you'd be hard-pressed to find an actress who can play with a man over 1.9 meters, and I mean if you don't use a height pad! ”

Swish!

Little Tiger returned a throw.

"Although the little tiger is not as tall as the Black Mamba, his speed advantage is something that the Black Mamba does not have. On top of that, he has a longer arm span than the Black Mamba and a larger palm than the Black Mamba! "Kenny Smith does a daily 'taunt Kobe Bryant' short hand' mode.

T-NT's live broadcast vibe is good.

They didn't portray the game to the point of saber-rattling.

At most, they took Kupchak and Bass Jr. out and whipped them.

Unlike the commentary atmosphere, the competition was very intense.

The Lakers are playing very closely, their offense is continuous, the triangle offense is because of the addition of Pau Gasol, the return of Lamar Odom, and the growth of Andrew Bynum, in the regular state, the offensive strength is no less than that of the Chicago Bulls back then: the average points per game has shown this problem.

The Warriors, on the other hand, played a little sluggish tonight, although the little tiger's athleticism returned to its peak, and the offensive and defensive standards improved.

But his teammates are a little bit out of touch.

The absence of Darius Myers has had a more serious impact than expected.

Especially when playing the Lakers.

The Lakers have three mountains, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.

Originally, the combination of Little Tiger and Darius Miles was able to restrain them to a certain extent, after all, Darius Miles has height, momentum, confrontation, and... Mix up the spirit of the head.

Now, however, this guy's career is over.

Where to find alternatives?

Jackson can't, he doesn't have enough impact. Petrus can't, he's not tall enough, Barnes can't, Radmanovic can't, Mirisich can't either.

So, the game gets tough.

If the opponent is the Celtics, the Warriors who lose Darius Myers may not be so tight. But there is no way, Los Angeles and Boston are too far apart, and you can only swap places by folding a map of the United States diagonally!

The Cleveland people thought the same way, and they also felt that if they played the Los Angeles Lakers, the effect would be much better.

It's a pity that there was no if.

The first quarter ended quickly.

31:27。

The Lakers lead by four points.

Little Tiger scored 11 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound in a single quarter.

He completely abandoned the previous 'economical triple-double' style of play.

This style of play seems to have been picked up by the Black Mamba, who had 5 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in a single quarter.

The two seem to have swapped souls.

……

"Let's give it a try!"

Nelson Sr. suggested.

He felt that if he played like this, the rhythm would definitely be completely controlled by the Lakers, so it was better to break and stand up and go crazy with them to the end.

Little Tiger had another calculation, he said: "Running and bombing can only be seen at the last moment!" ”

"Zach. Next, I want you to beat Andrew Bynum to the point of doubt! ”

Little Tiger told Randolph: "I know you have this ability. ”

Randolph nodded in agreement.

"Stephen, let Pau Gasol stop, don't let him easily ignite the Lakers' offense."

Little Tiger confesses to Stephen Jackson.

This made Mirisic a little sad, and he knew he didn't do a good job defending Pau Gasol in the first quarter.

But, soon heard his name.

"Darko, Odom will be handed over to you. Lock him up! ”

"Yes!" Mirisitic commanded loudly.

The tiger then looked away from several guards, and finally he chose Radmanovic: "Always ready to take inside passes, you have to stretch the defense outside the three-point line." ”

Radmanovic should take it down.

With a series of arrangements from Little Tiger, the Golden State Warriors quickly became a lineup of four big and one small.

This lineup is at least one head ahead of the Lakers in height.

Drip!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Lakers didn't make as drastic changes as the Warriors, they only laid out the point guard, and Sasha Vuljacic walked onto the court.

This season, Phil Jackson has gradually turned to Vujacic as a mad dog.

Vujacic's offensive characteristics are not outstanding in any way, and the defense is not very strong. But he's getting mader and crazier now. On the field, it is a look of 'although labor and management can't defend you at all, and anyone can beat me, but labor and management are especially disobedient to you, come on, up'.

"Tiger, I'll defend you!"

He came up and told the little tiger his purpose.

At one time, he was also a marginal member of the Tiger team, and later... Probably because Kupchak forgot that this number still exists, or that no team really wants him, so he stayed with the Lakers unharmed.

Little Tiger looked at him and nodded.

Then a change of direction shook him away.

He was used to being shaken, and had long expected that he would be thrown off. So he quickly adjusted and pursued him like a mad dog.

Little Tiger didn't bother to entangle with him and dropped the ball directly to Zach Randolph from beyond the three-point line.

The other players all pulled away and put on a stance for Randolph to single Bynum.

"I heard, you've been crazy lately?"

Randolph asked Bynum.

"Humph!"

Bynum was really crazy, and he lifted his nostrils up to the sky.

But soon, he saw the basketball fly over his head...... Randolph didn't make any adjustments at all, and shot straight away, with great speed.

Swish!

The basketball falls cleanly into the net.

"Next, I'll tell you: what is real madness!"

Zach Randolph coldly told the little shark: "Get ready, boy! ”

Yibian fights again.

Pau Gasol received the ball on the strong side again, but the moment he received the basketball, Stephen Jackson wrapped around him, and he was like a crazy octopus wrapped around Bynum.

In addition, the liquid is constantly released.

His trash talk indiscriminately banned Pau Gasol, regardless of whether the Spaniard could understand it or not!
