An incredible scene appeared. In the first quarter, the Lakers actually used such a lineup to draw with the Cavaliers! James in Cleveland is basically competing with the Lakers on his own!

26：26！ The Lakers' players weren't too happy. They played 54:52 after the first half with the Cavaliers! It's 2 points more than the Knights!

"Coach Jackson is amazing! Such a Lakers lineup was actually revitalized by him! ”

"I guess he's betting that the rest of the Cavaliers aren't too capable. He should have bet on that. Yu X spoke to a guest at this time.

"Brown: I think I'm a little out of tricks right now. After all, their current level is here. It's almost impossible to get a good result."

"I heard that Kobe Bryant is coming back recently. Honestly, I wish he had come back soon. This time has brought up these newcomers to the Lakers! Zhou Yang also proved himself in a few games! I guess there's a reason why the coach let him start."

"Oh? Yu X, let's hear it"

"Zhou Yang, this player is smart. If his ability is as tough as some of the big names in the alliance now, basically immediately, the Zen master should not let him play too much time. But Zhou Yang is in such an environment, constantly trying to avoid the opportunity to one-on-one with you like James today. That's wise."

"I think Zhou Yang can try it~"

"He should know LeBron's strength by now. A picture is worth a thousand words. After seeing him today, Zhou Yang should have his own plans. One of the reasons why Jackson is willing to use him is that he can attack on his own or pass quickly to his teammates on the court."

At the end of the first half, the players used a lot of energy. Especially on the Lakers' side, the Cavaliers and them will naturally fight like this! Zhou Yang didn't attend the second session, and the Zen master had other arrangements for him.

Outside the media, the audience was also surprised that Cleveland was overtaken by the Lakers in the first half when the Zen master was already thinking about what to do in the third quarter. It wasn't as he expected the Lakers to lead the Cavaliers by more than five points......

The little emperor is definitely not willing to do this physical strength now! If this continues, one of the scenarios that may arise is that LeBron will score high again and lead the team to a hard-fought victory. In order to prevent this from happening, Jackson still made adjustments to the lineup in the second quarter.

When the third quarter came back, the lineup on the Cavaliers' side was Vallejo, Marshall, James, Ira, and Snow. The Lakers are Meme, Zhou Yang, Cook, Vujacic and Devin!

LeBron saw Zhou Yang as soon as he got the basketball! This guy is making him feel more uncomfortable right now. When looking for him to single-hand, he always runs away...... Now I can only ignore him and continue to play.

He didn't expect the team to fall behind the Lakers. Now the opponent is a team that doesn't have a top center and Kobe! This result is not only James, but his teammates also feel that their morale is quite frustrated.

After arriving in the front court, LeBron planned to make a mid-range shot, but Zhou Yang suddenly hit and directly interfered with his shot!

"I didn't go looking for you, but you sent it to the door!!" The little emperor immediately went over to grab the rebound as if he was immediately enraged! Mime took the lead and got the rebound and passed to Vujacic. The latter hit a three-point jumper! 57：52！

James shook his head with his hands on his hips and watched Ira get the ball, and he ran through the half. When approaching Cook, he glanced at Zhou Yang beside him. Zhou Yang looked at the basketball in Ila's hand as if nothing was right at this time.

"It seems that he can't be completely ignored! This guy! "James is so angry! To say that Zhou Yang is not incapable. But why don't you dare to compete with him?!

LeBron asked for the ball and Ira didn't give it, Vallejo got the ball and singled Mime with his back to succeed!

Vujacic carried the ball up front and he was very careful. Jackson was watching the game while thinking about going back after the road trip.

Kobe Bryant took the initiative to call him, which is quite rare. What surprised the Zen master even more was that Kobe Bryant said on the phone that he wanted to make the Lakers more united in the regular season!

The sudden thought of his words made people feel a little unreliable. With Kobe's own defense, sometimes yelling at his players on the court can make the team less "united".

But after all, he still brought a good signal after all. If he doesn't do something right, Kobe Bryant might listen to him as a coach with his current attitude.

Another question to consider is how the Lakers should play after Kobe Bryant returns. Jackson was still quite surprised by how far the team had been able to play.

So what happens when Kobe Bryant returns? Vujacic will still give him as much playing time as possible as long as he plays consistently! That kind of Laker is really exciting!

After Zhou Yang got the ball, he saw James running and immediately used the opponent Marshall to make a block and score a layup...... It's not that the rest of the Cavaliers aren't capable of guarding him. It's that Zhou Yang's actions in this game are too special......

According to everyone's usual idea, Zhou Yang should have passed the ball right away, but he didn't. The Lakers still hold on to their lead! After Snow's jump shot failed, Zhou Yang immediately got the ball and went to the front court, when he jumped up to make a shooting action. James had already jumped up and saw Zhou Yang pass the ball in the air at close range!

Devin gets the basketball and jumps a three-point shot into the net! 62：54！

......

It was in this state that the Lakers finally took the Cavaliers. At the end of the game, they felt that the Zen master had some sense.

In this game, Gooden got 9 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, Marshall 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and James 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks! Hughes had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Snow had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists!

On the Lakers' side, Odom had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists! Zhou Yang 19 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Wharton had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists! Vujacic had 21 points and 2 assists, and Fisher had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists!

107：105！ Basically, the players on the Lakers' side did a lot of off-ball runs on the court! And the Cavaliers are very passive compared to the Lakers! Two pieces of news were eye-catching that night, one was the Lakers' victory over the Cavaliers, and Wharton scored a game-high 9 assists! The other is that Kobe Bryant announced his return to the team!

Luke was so happy after playing this match! Bryant had calmed down at this point. His goal now is to lead the team to a good playoff game! The ultimate goal is to win the championship this season!

The conflict with O'Neill still made him feel uncertain. But the current Lakers have somewhat given him some hope. When a team is still functioning after leaving you, Kobe's bloated form fades away.

He knows what a Zen master is like. As long as he's still with the Lakers for one day, then it's up to him who on the team should play. Jackson knows that he is "ruthless" with his players twice a season at most.

If you're always angry with your players, they won't listen to you much. And this season, when I was training before the season, the Zen master used it once. It can be seen how disappointed and anxious he is with the current state of the Lakers players!

Shortly after the start of the regular season, Bryant and O'Neal had another falling out. But what they found was different from previous seasons was that the Zen master didn't care about them. Just a casual few words and left.

The implication couldn't be more obvious. Feel free to do whatever you want. If you want to fight, you can fight, and if you don't fight, you will be hospitalized.

Jackson has focused more on other Lakers players this season. He knows that even if he enters the finals, it is not just O'Neal and Kobe Bryant who score enough.

This season's Lakers, whether it is an old player or a younger generation of players, must improve their ability! The Lakers also played well without him Kobe Bryant and the Big Sharks, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for the two men.

They don't know what the team management means yet. If it really gets stiff, the playing time of the two players in a season is limited, and it's a big deal that Jackson is gone. Will Kobe Bryant and O'Neal be affected next season?

During these years with the Zen master, the two of them also experienced Jackson's tolerance for them. Sometimes it's almost limitless tolerance! But this tolerance is not connivance!

It's the trust that the Zen master places in them and the stress relief he gives them in some ways.

Can other coaches do this? Can other coaches give them so much leave? What if a new coach directly angered him? Even if he Kobe Bryant is not affected by playing time, I am afraid that the salary may not be so high next time he signs a contract.

Although Kobe Bryant still thinks Zhou Yang is an eyesore these days, this guy is really good! When he first came to the NBA in the first year, he won the first average scoring per game in the NBA, which is not something that anyone can do.

......

"Your leg injury doesn't seem entirely bad this time," Jackson said to Kobe Bryant in a relaxed manner after calling him into his office.

"Yes, I think a lot. Until yesterday, I thought about it for more than two hours," Kobe Bryant said as he sat in his chair with a calm expression.

"That's good! The Lakers have always been strong. Have you watched the last games? "The Zen master wanted to hear Kobe's thoughts on the Lakers' recent performance. He's looking forward to this guy boasting about these newcomers to the Lakers right now.

"Nope"

“...... We've won a couple of games lately! Zhou Yang and Vujasić's performances are more outstanding! ”

"It's just a little fight. Oh yes, in the next games hopefully they can continue to do the same as in the previous games. Don't hold the team back. Nothing happened and I went out."

Bryant still stared at Jackson indifferently and quietly walked out of the Zen master's office after speaking.

"I don't know why, he just doesn't want to talk to the manager about these 'high school students'. He thinks it's too tender to help the kid. Have they ever seen the playoffs? Have they played in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals? ”

Kobe Bryant has a championship ring from previous years in his house. Such honors are spelled out. It's not something you can get by playing well in a few games.

"You're back. I'm so glad to see you again! Xiao Yu was the first to go over and hug Kobe Bryant after he saw him appear in the training hall. The two talked a lot. Kobe Bryant, who was wearing sunglasses, also showed a rare smile.

Bryant then walked from Fisher's side to the locker room without saying hello to him, and immediately threw himself into practice.

This fire has been held in my heart for a long time. Until now, Kobe Bryant is holding back, and he can't wait to play now! He wants his team to see what the Lakers are like without Kobe Bryant, and what it looks like with Kobe!!

The Rockets will be coming to Los Angeles in the next game, and they are going to play again! The Lakers are still very happy after Kobe Bryant came back!

After all, Team Rocket's current "Yao Mai Combination" is really powerful!!

......

"The opponent's defensive awareness is very good, and there is Yao Ming under the basket. That's why I'm asking you to look for a good opportunity before attacking. The other side has patience, so let's do the same......" The Zen master instructed the players before the game.

"Rebounding, rebounding should be treated as a major goal. The players on the outside attack a little more......"

Van Gundy didn't forget to talk to the players after their warm-up.

Today's lineup on the Rockets' side is Yao Ming, Mutombo, Maddy, Alston, Derek. The starting players on the Lakers' side are Odom, Brown, Zhou Yang, Kobe and Fisher!

Kobe Bryant didn't talk to Zhou Yang before the game. Just quietly waiting for the game to start.

Yao Ming took the lead and immediately passed the ball to Maddie. The latter came to the front court and hit a three-point shot directly! Zhou Yang went to the sideline to serve, and he immediately passed it out after seeing Kobe Bryant asking for the ball.

Kobe Bryant came to the front court alone, saw Maddie coming over, and suddenly jumped back to a three-point after a few seconds of wrestling with him!! The atmosphere of the scene suddenly rose! Maddie and Kobe Bryant are both terrifying offensively!!

Alston made a quick run to the front. Van Gundy was so anxious that he stomped on the sidelines!

"Speed down! Speed down! Alston heard the coach's second sentence, and Derrick jumped up for three points after getting the ball! The Rocket coach is so anxious that he is about to run away at this time!

He, like the Zen master, doesn't want the two teams to fight right away. But the players on the Rockets' side were obviously angered by Kobe. Odom got the basketball and passed the ball to Kobe, who came to the front court and hit another three-point shot!! 6：3！

The Staples Arena fans are now shouting! You can still hear the sound of "MVP"!

After Maddie took the basketball, he slowly went to the front court, and Kobe Bryant followed directly! Zhou Yang had no choice but to defend against Alstom. The Zen master is not in a hurry at this time, as long as the score is not too many points behind.

Yao Ming got the basketball back and singled Odom after the jumper didn't shoot. After Zhou Yang got the rebound, Kobe Bryant began to ask for the ball, and he felt that he was back at the beginning of the season. Zhou Yang still passed it on.

In the frontcourt, facing the bag of Maddie and Derek, Bryant passed the ball directly to Xiaoyu. The latter jumped three points into the account! 9：3！

The Lakers are now being brought up by Kobe Bryant in rhythm at the beginning of the game! Jackson is also watching to see how long the Lakers can play with this pace. If Kobe Bryant is still behind in the team's score on the court, then he will have to think about when to make a substitution.
