Chapter 832: Life hangs by a thread
Game 4 of the Finals, the Kings, lost.
"Life hangs by a thread."
At the post-match press conference, Phil Jackson faced reporters' questions and admitted without hesitation: "Everyone is right, we are indeed hanging by a thread." ”
Well......?
Hearing Phil Jackson's words, the reporters were stunned.
This...... Was it Phil Jackson who said it??
You know, although Phil Jackson is not a coach known for his big words, he has rarely been admitted in front of the media since he started coaching the team.
No matter how bad the team's situation is, Phil Jackson is a smiling Zen master, and most of the words he says are things like "I have confidence in the team" and "this is just a small setback on the way forward".
And in rare cases, if Phil Jackson says words of confession, then it proves that his team is really in extremely bad condition.
Even in 2011, when the Lakers fell behind the Mavericks 0-3, when the reporter interviewed, Phil Jackson said with a smile that the team has the capital to turn the tables, but it needs to do things more carefully.
In everyone's memory, Phil Jackson's confession is probably only in 2004. When the Lakers F4 faced the Pistons in the Finals, they played a mess. With some emotion, the coach told reporters that if the Lakers continue to maintain this form, they may really lose the championship.
So this time, what does Phil Jackson's confession mean?
"Hehe, I know you must be recalling in your mind, remembering the last time I said something like this, right?" Phil Jackson had a brain, and immediately judged what the reporters were thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, the last time I said this kind of thing was in 2004." ”
"So you mean, the Kings are in the same situation this year, as the Lakers were back then, and they will definitely lose in the end??" The reporter who wanted something immediately asked.
"It's completely different." Phil Jackson didn't care, didn't mean to be asked at all, shrugged and said: "You all supported the Lakers that year, and it was an accident that the Lakers lost, so I would be very angry and say something like that." And what about this year? Who are you supporting? ”
This......
The reporters looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Who to support this year?
Nonsense, of course it's in favor of Philadelphia!
No matter how powerful your king is, he is just a dark horse, can he compare with Philadelphia??
Now that the Kings are 1-3 behind, and then Philadelphia is at home, is it better to be swept by the Gentlemen 1-4, and at this time we are going to support the Kings? The brain has a bag!
"We are inherently weak, and the weak have the right to show weakness." Phil Jackson continued: "You guys don't support us, and there aren't many people in the world who support us, so it's not a surprise that we lost, right? ”
This...... What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd??
The reporters were stunned, Phil Jackson came up with a series of shows of weakness, and talked about the Kings so vulnerable, what is the purpose? ?
"Winning is a surprise, losing is normal, that's what I want to say." Phil Jackson smiled: "We are very young, the future is ours, and some small mistakes and some small problems will be solved by us sooner or later." I'm not worried, what are you worried about?? ”
"So you mean, the Kings didn't intend to win the championship in the first place?" The journalist did not give up and continued to fire.
"Win, it's definitely going to win, but it's also a fact that life is hanging by a thread now, let me tell you some facts, what are you G tide?"
Phil Jackson responded, and everyone fainted.
I'm going to ...... How did even Phil Jackson become so annoying after spending one season with the Kings!!
"Cousin, the team lost at the last moment because of Andrew's mistakes." Seeing that the gate of Phil Jackson could not be breached, the reporter switched the artillery fire and asked Gu Yu: "If you had been in Jermaine at that time, maybe the tactics would have been successful, what do you think?" ”
"On Jermaine, tactics may also fail, dear." Gu Yu shrugged and said, "The fact now is that Andrew did make a mistake, and we did lose." But based on this, there is no way to deduce that on Jermaine, the tactics will be successful. Who taught your language? I want to talk to him. ”
"Hahaha......"
Gu Yu's messy fallacies and heresies were "civilized spray", and the reporter he said was red for a while and black for a while, causing everyone nearby to laugh.
"Ann...... Andrew! The reporter gritted his teeth and continued to ask Bynum: "What do you think of your mistake at the last moment?" Was it distracted at the time? ”
"Uh, I'm distracted." Bynum lowered his head and nodded.
Look, that's right!
After hitting nails at Phil Jackson and Gu Yu in a row, the reporter finally found the soft persimmon Bynum, and asked excitedly: "Do you feel guilty?" The team loses because of your mistakes, and your life hangs by a thread, and it's all your responsibility! ”
"No, you wait." Hearing the reporter's words, Bynum suddenly raised his eyes and stretched out his hand to make a gesture to shut up: "Of course I feel guilty, and the final mistake really shouldn't be, I was really distracted, I didn't do a good job, I will continue to work hard in the next game." But the second half of your sentence is not right, the team lost, not because of me! ”
“…… That's because of who?! "The reporter was shocked, such an obvious pot, who will carry it if you don't carry Bynum??
"Because of Curry!" Bynum shook his fist angrily: "If he doesn't make the last big fight, we won't have any hope of winning!" ”
There was a "plop", and the reporter fainted.
The Sacramento Kings, a team that is shameless to this extent, is rare in the world......
Soon after, the Philadelphia players attended the press conference.
"At the King's press conference just now, I asked Phil Jackson, my cousin, and Andrew Bynum three people in a row. They admit that the team's fate is hanging by a thread, and they admit that Andrew's mistake in the final minute was very fatal, and they admit that they are inferior horses, and it will be very difficult to win the series in the future. The reporter regained his strength, gritted his teeth and fired directly at Curry: "But they said that the team lost not because of Andrew, but because you scored that priceless small fight!" What do you think of this argument?? ”
Hum!
The Kings yes, Phil Jackson yes, cousin yes, Andrew Bynum yes!
Let me make a fool of myself in front of the public, and use messy and illogical nonsense to shirk my responsibility, right?
Okay, you're a team, you wear a pair of pants, and I don't know as much as you do.
But now that I'm asking Curry and asking Philadelphia, there's no reason for them to speak for you!!
Admit it, Sacramento Kings, admit it, you dead ducks.
Your strength is not good, and you can't beat Philadelphia, just because you are rookies!!
"Well, I think Andrew was right."
Well......?!!
As soon as Curry spoke, the reporter almost wanted to die.
'His mistake just gave us a chance to shoot, and if I didn't shoot, they would have a good chance of winning the game. In the end, of course, it was my credit that I scored the goal, not you. Curry said with an innocent face: "Praise me, applause to me, what's the problem??" ”
"I'm @#¥%&......!!"
The reporter vomited three liters of blood and died violently.
After the game, the players from both sides went to the coach and tacitly covered for Bynum together, which attracted the attention of many people.
From the fans to the players, from the experts to the coaches, they all felt a different atmosphere.
A subtle touch that transcends sports itself and rises to humanistic care.
But all this can't erase Bynum's mistakes, let alone make it impossible for the Kings to win that game again.
The Kings, whose fate hangs by a thread, are still on the edge of the cliff of death, and if they are not careful, they will fall to the bottom, and there will be no day to turn over.
Following.
"Did you sleep well yesterday??"
At the center of the Sacramento Kings team, the players completed recovery drills, packed their bags and prepared to travel to Philadelphia on the road.
There, the battle of Tennoyama is about to begin.
What kind of outcome will be achieved by a season's hard work will be revealed soon.
"No, it's a good !!"
Phil Jackson asked, and the players shook their heads desperately with panda eyes.
"Hehe, but I think one of them slept well." Phil Jackson was not surprised at all, but was happy that the players would blame themselves for the team's defeat, and couldn't sleep at night.
I don't know who the old coach is talking about, the players looked around, everyone had panda eyes, and obviously they were watching the video review repeatedly last night.
The ones who are in a slightly better spirit, that is, the people at the end of the bench who didn't play at all in yesterday's game.
O'Neill Jr. and Granger, who are used to seeing big scenes, will not be unable to sleep because of this loss.
Stevenson doesn't play a lot of minutes, and he has a good personality...... You know, so the spirit is not bad.
And then there's ......
"Cousin, how many times did you watch the video yesterday?" Phil Jackson didn't give the players time to think, looked at Gu Yu and asked, "Just look at the number of key rounds." ”
"About five times." Gu Yu scratched his head and said, "There are a few rounds where I didn't handle it properly, I should have voted by myself, hesitated, damn." ”
"Hehe, that's right." Phil Jackson has always supported Gu Yu's crazy shot without a bottom line: "So what is the biggest reason for losing, what do you think?" ”
"Rebounding."
Gu Yu Zhengse said: "Although I don't want to admit it, but I control the rebound, and I can really control the whole game." Lao Chen grabbed 27 rebounds yesterday, including 11 offensive rebounds, which is too much for us. If you don't solve this problem, the next game will be very difficult. ”
"That's right, then ......"
Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction, Gu Yu's ability to judge the situation always made him feel extremely gratified: "If I tell you that we have a way to alleviate the rebounding problem, will your confidence increase a little......?" ”
