Durant and netizens are also talking, but the Lakers are under a lot of pressure from management to players.

Head coach Phil Jackson, in particular, was a bit out of luck with Carlisle's shark-cutting tactics.

Before the start of the day's training session, he and the teaching assistants had a conversation in the office about how to deal with it.

But at the end of the conversation, no one came up with any good solution.

They all tried at the last minute without O'Neal, but none of them worked.

There is no other way?

Yes.

If a multiple-choice question is wrong in any way, then the best thing to do is not to let it appear.

Used in the game between the two teams, it is to beat the Wizards before the final moments.

But the strength of the two teams is too close, and the Lakers can't do it.

If you continue to do what you have done in the past, you will have no solution to this problem.

In the end, the conversation was over, and Jackson asked Sun Hao to come over again.

"If the game is handed to you in the end, can you take Tianwang Mountain?"

Jackson ended up picking the choice he had made in the third game.

Because O'Neal's free throws are difficult to suddenly improve, but Sun Hao is likely to do better.

81 points in a single game in the regular season and 62 points in the third quarter, which shows that Sun Hao's current performance of 278 points per game in the finals is not his limit.

Sun Hao also understood what Jackson meant.

"As long as there's space on the field."

He continued.

"Yes."

Jackson nodded.

When it came to training sessions, Jackson focused on three-point drilling.

And after training, he reshuffled the team's rotation.

That adjustment lets the players know that Game 5 will be very different from the past.

2-2 draw, G5 Tianwang Mountain.

The Lakers don't have Jordan, but they do have Buss Sr.

On the day of the game, the old Buss came to the training gym, although he did not have the eloquence of Jordan, but his appearance was already a huge morale boost for the Lakers.

You must know that Old Bass's health is much worse now than before.

That night, the Staples Center was full, and there were still a large number of fans at the scene chanting "Come on Lakers", "Lakers Championship", "Sun, it's time!" and so on.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain was a life-and-death battle in advance for both sides.

By the time the Lakers players appeared on the scene, cheers were already ringing on the sidelines.

When I saw the full spirit of the Lakers, the decibels of cheers on the scene instantly soared.

This time, they felt that the Lakers could really win!

But on the Wizards' side, the Wizards are also in high spirits.

With two away games in a row, now is the time when the Wizards' morale is at its highest.

During the pre-game warm-up, Maddie also played a good shot, showing his excellent hand and competitive state.

The warm-up is over, and the starting lineups of the two teams have been released one after another.

The Wizards' lineup remains the same, but the Lakers have made a lot of substitutions.

Sun Hao, Finley, Ariza, Horry, O'Neill.

Two of the five starters were replaced, and this drastic change also drew discussion from Bryn and Mark Jackson in the commentary box.

"Is it because of Gary Payton and Antoine Walker's poor form in the last two games?"

Brin spoke.

"Actually, they've been in pretty bad shape throughout the finals."

Mark Jackson's words drew a laugh from Brin.

His new partner is really interesting.

"Or maybe the Lakers just want to find out how it felt like they won the championship last year."

Mark Jackson's next words made Brin laugh and cry even more.

However, it is also an explanation.

When the Lakers won the championship last year, although the starter was Malone, Horry and the other four also had a lot of time to partner with.

"Let's see what happens."

Brin said with a smile.

If Carlisle's shark-cutting tactics are considered a big move, he would also like to see if Phil Jackson is going to put on any big moves.

While the two were talking, the game on the field had already begun.

However, after playing a small quarter, the two found that the Lakers' style of play has not changed much from the past four games.

Horry and Finley did much the same thing as Payton and Walker had done before.

The Lakers are still the main player in the first half of the quarter, and O'Neal is the main player after O'Neal is off the court.

Even the situation of the game was no different from the past few games, and the two teams played evenly.

"Maybe it's just that we're overthinking."

Mark Jackson shook his head.

Brin didn't nod, and with more than two decades of experience as a commentator, nothing would happen in the game for no reason.

When the quarter was about ten minutes into play, the two sides began to make a large number of substitutions.

The Wizards are still in the same rotation as in the past, but the Lakers, instead of Christie, as in the past, they are on Damon Jones!

This substitution is really...... Quite unexpected!

You must know that Jones' playing time in the playoffs is basically garbage time, and he hasn't played a minute in the finals!

Now he's being substituted in regular rotation time, which is really unexpected, even bold.

"Or did Jackson think he had a chance to win and give Jones a chance to have his name engraved on his championship ring?"

Mark Jackson's teasing drew another burst of laughter from Brin.

According to the rules, only players who have played in the finals and have contributed stats will be able to get the opportunity to have their names engraved on the championship ring.

What did Jackson say...... No problem!

The lineup on both sides of the court, the Wizards Tyronn Lue, Alexander, Maddy, Hayes, Uncle Mu.

Lakers Payton, Jones, Ariza, Walker, Mourning.

The first offense after the substitution was launched by the Lakers.

On the Lakers' side, as soon as they came up, they designed a no-ball tactic for Jones!

This not only stunned Brin and Mark Jackson, but also Carlisle.

Designing tactics for a newcomer to the bench?

This is...... What's the operation?

The Lakers have a good lineup on the court, and Jones managed to run a chance, but he made a shot.

"Phew!"

Out of the basket!

Uncle Mu won the defensive rebound, the Wizards advanced to the frontcourt, and Maddy singled Ariza and made a quick stop.

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball entering the net attracted a burst of cheers from the scene.

Phil Jackson was given a shot on the sidelines, and the "Zen Master" looked at the court thoughtfully, but there was no next move.

And the Lakers pushed to the frontcourt again, or to Jones's off-ball tactics!

Jones catches the ball and shoots again.

"Phew!"

He struck iron continuously!

On the stage of the finals, the pressure is not something that ordinary players can bear.

Fortunately, Mourning grabbed an offensive rebound and distributed it to Walker on the other side, who took the ball and scored 2 points with a quick layup.

Maddy missed a three-pointer on the final attempt.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 23-27, and the Wizards took the lead.

In the second quarter, the two sides continued to make substitutions.

On the Wizards' side, Lue, Hamilton, Alexander, Hayes, Uncle Mu.

On the Lakers' side, Payton, Finley, Zhu Fangyu, Walker, Mourning.

Zhu Fangyu!

“tthefxck！”

At this time, Mark Jackson was shocked and lost his humor.

"Phil is a little messed up, it's not like I know him."

After sighing, Mark Jackson continued.

Brin on the side also looked surprised, but he didn't say anything right away, he always felt that things were not so simple.

In the second quarter, it was the Lakers who attacked first, and it was somewhat similar to when Jones first came on the court, and they were also designing no-ball tactics for Zhu Fangyu.

That's when Brin seemed to sense something.

Phil Jackson, who seems to be looking for the Lakers' shooters?

"Huh!"

After Zhu Fangyu's off-ball run, he hit a three-point shot to catch the ball!

Don't underestimate Zhu Ba's great heart ability.

In history, when he faced James and Wade in the 08 Olympics, he was unreasonable.

The ball was thrown, and Phil Jackson unconsciously clenched his fist.

Brin is experienced after all, and his guess is right, what Jackson is doing is trying to see who has the better hand tonight among the Lakers' shooters.

Sun Hao said that he needed space, so he tried to create a space to come out!

Hamilton's shot was distracted by Payton, and Mourning grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play no-ball tactics for Zhu Fangyu.

The Wizards' defense on this side has significantly expanded.

It's not that the Wizards overreacted, but the strength of the two teams was close, and if the shooter was warmed up, it would be difficult to recover the score.

Zhu Fangyu's shot this time smashed out of the frame.

However, after the Wizards' defense expanded, Mourning grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket and gave it to Walker, who cut in, and Walker scored 2 points on a layup!

28 to 27!

The Lakers overtook the score!

Cheers erupted from the scene.

Phil Jackson's always solemn face also stretched a little.

He felt like he had found the person he was looking for.

Of course, Carlisle didn't know what Jackson was going to do at this time.

And although Zhu Fangyu feels good, his ability is far from enough to change the situation on the field.

The Lakers had a certain advantage in the transition to the bench, and the Lakers also took advantage of the situation to extend that advantage.

By halftime, the Lakers had a nine-point lead over the Wizards, 51-42.

This is already a big difference for both sides.

Sun Hao scored 21 points in the half, which was higher than the previous games.

But in the third quarter, the Wizards, led by Yao Mai, began to chase points again.

Maddy showed his pre-game warm-up heat during this period, hitting back-to-back pull-up jumpers against Ariza's defense, and even the Lakers' bag couldn't stop him from scoring.

As a result, at the end of the third quarter, the Wizards were stunned to tie the score.

Deuces, stalemate, and alternate leads have become the main theme of this year's finals.

But what not many people noticed was that Phil Jackson made minor changes to the rotation.

When the game entered the decisive moment again, and Carlisle was about to try his shark slashing tactics again, he suddenly realized what Jackson was going to do.

The Wizards are still in the starting lineup, but the Lakers are on the side: Sun Hao, Ariza, Zhu Fangyu, Horry, Mourning!

This lineup looks incredible at first glance.

But if you take a closer look at tonight's game, you will find that except for Mo Ning and Sun Hao, the remaining three are the best pitchers tonight!

Phil Jackson, in the face of Carlisle's shark-cutting tactics, this is preparing to use Sun Hao alone to combine!

No, I am more prepared to say that Sun Hao single-handedly challenged the entire Wizards team!

When the fans realized this layer, their hearts were inexplicably boiling.

This is typical heroism!

After a timeout, the Lakers attacked first.

Sun Hao held the ball to the front court, and the others all spread their wings.

The cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable.

Carlisle waved his hand, and the Wizards wrapped up a three-man package on Sun Hao as in the past.

However, just when the bag was about to arrive, Sun Hao passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who was in an empty position

At this time, whether the Lakers' shooters can shoot the ball will be extremely critical.

Because once you can't shoot, the Wizards' bag will be as crazy as Game 3.

Zhu Fangyu received the ball and did not hesitate to shoot quickly.

A person who dares to raise his hand on the field and fight with the center must be strong inside.

The more confident you are, the more you can throw.

"Huh!"

There was a crunch.

Zhu Fangyu's three points, the knife is up and down!

Arrogant!

The Staples Center exploded in an instant.

Zhu Fangyu scored one three-pointer in the first half, and this was the first in the second half.

But these two three-pointers, all of them are golden goals!

After the goal, Zhu Fangyu also waved her fist excitedly.

Maddie in front of him instinctively dodged.

He didn't want to be like Bogut, who took several breaks before coming back after being beaten.

91 to 88.

This three-point effect on the score is not so great, but it is more momentum.

And what's even more interesting is the Lakers' defensive setup.

One-on-one defense, Sun Hao defends Hamilton, Ariza defends Maddie, and Zhu Fangyu defends Nelson.

Yao Ming had a clear mind and stretched out his hand to command on the field.

He put it up for Nelson to block and pick-and-roll.

The Lakers didn't dare to change, and Nelson made a pull-up jump shot after blocking and dismantling.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes to the net.

Nielsen's shot is also available!

This round exposed Zhu's defensive weaknesses, and he was noticeably slower to get around in the face of pick-and-rolls.

Jackson didn't say anything on the sidelines, though.

The reason why he let Zhu Fangyu at this point in time shows that he has accepted Zhu Fangyu's weaknesses.

You must know that Zhu Fangyu, if you didn't have these weaknesses, you would have already made the rotation with the Lakers.

Sun Hao held the ball in the front court, and the Wizards continued to wrap up.

Sun Hao gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu again.

Zhu Fangyu got the ball, and the Wizards' weak side helped defend it.

But Zhu Fangyu voted again!

Is Zhu Fangyu drifting?

Or did Liang Jingru give Zhu Fangyu the courage to play?

Neither!

This is what Phil Jackson requested!

With Zhu Fangyu's ability, if the ball is stopped, whether it is choosing to pass again or dribble, there is a high probability that the ball will be lost.

So Jackson's request is only one point, if Sun Hao passes the ball to him, then he only needs to do one thing, which is to shoot!

In fact, Jackson's request is not only for Zhu Fangyu, but also for the three shooters!

Some people maybe, but what if they are replaced in place?

It depends on Sun Hao's judgment ability.

The three-person bag means that there must be two people in the empty seats.

Sun Hao passes the ball to the person with a better chance, and that person has a better chance of throwing.

Zhu Fangyu had no distractions when he made a move, and he only had baskets in his eyes.

The ball is shot, after a spinning parabola is streaked through the air.

"Huh!"

Another crunch.

Zhu Fangyu, hit three points in a row!

On the stage of the Grand Final!

Zhu v578!

The Lakers' bench boiled over in an instant.

These two three-pointers are crucial to the situation of the game!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

"The name of the championship ring is secure!"

Sun Hao found Zhu Fangyu and high-fived, his face was delighted and he didn't forget to tease.

Zhu Fangyu was also warmly welcomed by his teammates when he left the game.

It was definitely the highlight of his basketball career.

When the timeout came back, the Wizards scored a goal from the inside by Yao Ming.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt again, Sun Hao held the ball again, and the Wizards didn't dare to go to the bag.

This is the biggest significance of Zhu Fangyu's two three-pointers just now.

"It's time!"

Brin in the commentary booth raised the decibels.

He was the first to understand Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement, and he also knew that Zhu Fangyu's performance was a good foreshadowing.

But whether the Lakers can really win the game depends on Sun Hao's next performance!
