Chapter 854: Night Bird (1)
"Old man with winged buckets, what's your strategy for today??"
The game is about to begin.
The 2014 NBA Finals finally came to the last battle of life and death, the battle of seven battles, no detail can be sloppy, a little careless, half a step back, is the abyss.
And if Phil Jackson can come up with any good tactics at this time, it will undoubtedly contribute to the victory of the Kings in the next game.
What is strange is that Phil Jackson, who has always put forward some opinions and suggestions the day before the game, was very silent this time. The players had already asked this question when they came to Philadelphia, but Phil Jackson didn't give a clear answer.
"Tactics? Haven't figured it out yet. β
Even, Lao Shuai threw out such an answer, which made everyone faint.
Of course, it's impossible for the players to believe that the resourceful Phil Jackson really doesn't have any tactical ideas. In the eyes of the players, the reason why Phil Jackson said this, more likely, is that he does not want to expose the tactics in advance.
Although the group of problem children in the team are all young people, it is unlikely that they will make a move to eat inside and out. Xiao Yu, as a reporter with the team for many years, has already won the collective approval of the Kings, and it is impossible to expose tactics at such a moment.
But the finals are not an ordinary game after all, fans all over the world are paying attention, and the media around the world are changing their ways to dig out a little bit of fierce information from the mouths of both sides and report it as headlines.
"The old man may be afraid that Andrew, Javier, and Hind Leg will accidentally say that they will leak their mouths, after all, their IQ, you know."
Gu Yu exonerated Phil Jackson's statement in this way.
Of course, it was strongly condemned by Bynum and Wei Shao and others.
But that makes sense, right?
But now, the game is about to begin, and the winner is in the blink of an eye, and Phil Jackson just has any secrets that can't be said, and it's time to tell them.
So Gu Yu took the lead and asked this question before the warm-up began.
"Ah......?"
Hearing Gu Yu's question, Phil Jackson looked at the players as if he had just woken up from a dream, his eyes wandered, his mouth opened, and he said, "That, I'll tell you something." β
"You say." Gu Yu encouraged, always feeling that there was something wrong with Phil Jackson today.
"This thing is, our tactics today......" Phil Jackson was extremely rare, and actually touched his head, which was quite contrasting and cute, and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that there is no ......"
Well......?!!
As soon as the old coach finished speaking, the players were all stunned.
The tactics are...... No?
What does that mean?!
"Wait, wait, don't worry!"
Seeing that Gu Yu was already about to scold his mother, Phil Jackson hurriedly laughed a few times, waved his hand and said, "It's not just us, I believe that Carlisle's side doesn't have any tactics to arrange." β
This......
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly I couldn't keep up with Phil Jackson's train of thought.
"Here's how it ......"
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Phil Jackson swallowed his saliva and said: "Now there are only a few people in our team who have played in the finals." And with all due respect, when you play in the finals, you either don't need to think about tactics with your brains at all, or you are absolutely weak or absolutely strong, and there is no point in tactics or not. β
The one who said "no brains" in Phil Jackson's words was, of course, Andrew Bynum, who was picking at his nose with a naΓ―ve face and didn't know what he was thinking.
And the one who is in absolute weakness is naturally little O'Neill, mentioning the past of the year, little O'Neill also sighed, nodded helplessly, and was powerless to refute.
In the absolute power, it was Reggie Evans, and regardless of whether the Philadelphia 76ers were absolutely strong at the time, it was said that Evans's on-court role didn't inherently need him to think about anything, as long as he found a way to grab those damn rebounds.
So the experience of these three people, there is no use for eggs.
"If you say that in the playoffs, it's about stars, then in the finals, it's about superstars."
Phil Jackson continued: "At this point, it really doesn't matter what tactics are not tactical. After six games, the cards that should have been played have already been played, and whether it is me or Rick, or even you change Greg, they can't give us any more advice. Because the tactics that our current team can use have been exhausted, and there is no longer much room and possibility for innovation. β
"If there's someone on the other side who is injured or can't play, I might be able to give some advice. But at the moment, both of us are healthy and there is nothing wrong with us. Some of the previous means have been used up, and where will they be left until this time. β
Phil Jackson's words may sound a little irresponsible, but when you think about it, they are true.
yes, who wants to be on the stage of the finals? If it weren't for Evans' refusal to participate in the game before, and Gu Yu was banned again, I'm afraid that in the first game, the Kings would have already taken out all their skills without reservation, how could they wait until today?
You must know that this is the finals, and if you are not careful, you will hang up the stage where you have no place to be buried, and play "back hand" in the finals? I don't dare to lend the coaches 10,000 guts!
"We're all too familiar with who can play, who can do what, what is the most unfavorable for the other side and what is the best for the other side...... This information, not to mention the coaches on both sides of us, even if you find a reporter on the sidelines, you can also talk about it. β
Phil Jackson shrugged, "So I thought about it for two nights, and I really wanted to make some tactics for you, but I'm sorry, no." β
Reaching out and knocking on his head, Phil Jackson looked apologetic, "Sorry, it's really not, it's empty." β
This......
The players suddenly couldn't accept it, looked at each other, and didn't know how to respond to Phil Jackson's confession.
It's true...... No more tactics to use?
All along, from the start of the regular season to every round of the playoffs, Phil Jackson has always been able to come up with beautiful tactics in key moments. And with every tactical adjustment, the effect is immediate.
Phil Jackson, who began to change his coaching style in his later years, was not pushing his limits? The changes in tactical arrangements and the endless flow of golden ideas have never been Phil Jackson's label. But in this year's playoff journey, it has already shown.
But in the last game, the most critical moment, Phil Jackson said that he had no tactics available?
What a panic does this have to cause??
"That's right."
On the side, Xiao Yu was frightened, feeling that Phil Jackson's move to capture him was really a bit outrageous.
Over there, Gu Yu nodded with understanding, and said to himself: "It's really a bit difficult for the old man to come up with any wonderful tactics at this time." β
Yes......??
Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, Gu Yu is ......
"Yes, in the previous games, we relied on Coach Jackson's tactics to get to where we are now. If we continue to rely on his tactics to win the last game of the finals, we will be a little useless. β
Not only Gu Yu, but even Paul George nodded in approval.
You guys......??
"That's right! Mom always asked me to make balls for my hind legs in the first few games, and I was so annoyed! Since it's up to us to decide the game ourselves, hehehehe...... Then I won't pass the ball hahahaha! β
Xiao Yu's eyes shifted to Wei Shao as the source of the voice shifted, and even Wei Shao said such a thing, which made Xiao Yu very surprised.
These guys...... Aren't you afraid at all??
"There's no tactics, is there? Just what the doctor ordered! Bynum shook his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "It's all your damn tactics, so that I didn't play to my advantages in the first few games, and the role seems to be smaller than that bastard of Reggie, I don't accept it!" Depend on! Today I must dominate the basket and kill them!! β
"Agreed~~~"
Beasley lay on the bench as usual, one hand raised faintly, expressing his thoughts.
"Do it, do it! It's really more than strength, are we really afraid that they won't succeed?? McGee shook his fist.
"We've already won three of them, and with the regular season this season, we're 5-3 against them, so we still have an excellent record! Compared to strength, I also think we can win! Thomas Jr. brought out the stats he does best.
"! Kill 76 people!! β
I don't know who shouted, causing Vajovia's fans to look sideways at the Kings bench.
"Hahaha, yes! Kill 76 people!! Gu Yu immediately raised his fist and seconded.
"Kill 76 people! Kill 76 people!! Killed 76 people!! β
Loud shouts, unwarranted self-confidence, just like that, erupted in Vachovia, and the eccentric personalities of the Kings players, with completely different characteristics from each other, actually merged into one at this moment.
"Good...... It's amazing! β
Xiao Yu immediately thought that Phil Jackson's statement that there was no tactic was a psychological tactic in itself, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Leading such a team, relying on tactics, can only help them win, but it can't help them knead as a whole.
This seemingly impossible task became a reality under the magical words of Phil Jackson.
"Hehe, that's right, let's play together......" Phil Jackson's face, that unfathomable smile emerged: "Kill the 76ers!" β
"Roarββ!!!
The chirping of the night birds echoed in the night, and the king's generals, who had finally found themselves, were ready to go!
