Chapter 112 3:0 (5th Update, also known as Wang Jiagen for the little scholar)
Genius site address: (Vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
The next day, both the North American press and the NBA were spotlighting a topic.
The headline in the Los Angeles Times read: "Joe Hai is leaving, Phil Jackson is sure to take over." ”
The headline in the Los Angeles Daily News was: "Was it the right decision?" Let go of Qiao Hai and choose Phil Jackson? ”
US Today headlines: "Qiao Hai personally testifies that Phil Jackson will succeed him in the Lakers!" ”
Although Li Jenkins of Sports Illustrated was scolded by Qiao Hai, the report on the next day was still positive.
Their headline is: NBA Shock! Phil Jackson will join the Lakers, and Joe Hay will travel to Vancouver.
In the following article, Lee Jenkins analyzes the correctness and error of the Lakers' choice.
"It is undeniable that Phil Jackson is the head of the dynasty, he led the Bulls to win two triple championships and became the owner of the Purple and Gold Lakers, Phil Jackson's card is big enough, but the young Chinese Joe has brought the Lakers to the Finals, and the first game of the Finals won by 21 points, and it looks like the championship is about to be won."
"If the Lakers win the championship this season, is the Lakers' decision really the right one? This is worth discussing. ”
"Obviously, Qiao Hai has led the team to have good results, whether they win the championship this time or not, the Lakers are already on the road to success, if they are replaced by Phil Jackson, can the Lakers still have the results they have now?"
"Don't tell me that the Lakers play a triangle offense, Phil Jackson's dominant tactics are also triangle offense, triangle offense and triangle offense are different, in fact, the Bulls' triangle offense is the real meaning of triangle offense, and the Lakers' triangle offense is more like a superstar single tactic, but Qiao Hai's balance is very good, and he is good at looking for opportunities, if Qiao Hai is replaced by Phil Jackson, can Phil Jackson do it? Will Phil Jackson's triangle offense be exactly the same as Joe's? ”
In fact, if Qiao Hai sees this report, Qiao Hai will be very sure that after Phil Jackson takes over the Lakers, the tactics he will play must still be a triangle offense, and it will definitely not be the same as Qiao Hai's triangle offense.
Phil Jackson will definitely do everything he can to remove Qiao Hai's mark on the Lakers, even the tactics, although the triangle offense belongs to Phil Jackson.
The news that Phil Jackson will join the Lakers and Qiao Hai will join the Grizzlies next season has detonated North America, but Qiao Hai has some irrelevance at this time.
Jerry West wanted to talk to Qiao Hai on the grounds that Qiao Hai had revealed in advance that Phil Jackson had joined the Lakers, which had harmed the interests of the Lakers.
But Qiao Hai directly refused to meet.
Only Mitch Kupchak found Qiao Hai and chatted with Qiao Hai for a few words.
The matter has been blown out by Qiao Hai, and it is irreparable, and the Lakers' senior management is also very helpless, so they asked Mitch Kupchak to talk to Qiao Hai, but they just wanted Qiao Hai to restrain themselves, and the Lakers senior management did not want to see Qiao Hai speak again and cause some incidents.
Now in the whole of North America, the most scolded is not the Spurs who lost the East and West Finals, but the Lakers who won the West Finals, and possibly even won the Finals, of course, it was not Qiao Hai and the Lakers players who were scolded, but the Lakers' management.
Qiao Hai completely ignored the anger of the Lakers' top management towards him, the finals were all played to this point, and the Lakers could not fire Qiao Hai directly in a fit of anger, Qiao Hai would definitely lead the team to the finals, once the finals were played, Qiao Hai would not be a staff member of the Lakers, and at that time, the Lakers would not be able to control Qiao Hai.
Therefore, Qiao Hai looked very tough, he just said those words at the press conference, these are all facts, why can the Lakers do it, he can't say it?
And Michkupchak can only persuade Qiao Hai: to focus on the overall situation.
Qiao Hai said: The overall situation is definitely no problem.
This has been proven by the facts.
Game 2 of the Finals was still held at the Great Western Forum, and in this game, the Knicks stepped up their offense, with Larry Johnson and Ratlills Prewell starting together, but Larry Johnson played at the No. 4 position.
This means that the Knicks' interior defense is even worse.
The aging gorilla Patrick Ewing couldn't stop Shaquille O'Neal at all, and O'Neal went straight on a rampage, scoring 20 points in the first quarter.
The Lakers also led the Knicks by 7 points at 32:25 in the first quarter.
O'Neal's rampage was somewhat unstoppable, and he rested for half a quarter in the second quarter, came on in the second half, and scored another 10 points in the second quarter, giving the Lakers a 15-point lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, O'Neal scored another 13 points in a single quarter, and the Knicks' offense also collapsed in the third quarter, and in the entire third quarter, the Knicks only scored 14 points, only 1 point higher than O'Neal's personal single-quarter score, and the Lakers also led by 28 points after three quarters.
In this game, the Knicks lost more completely than the last one, and Jeff Van Gundy was helpless, and this time, he was not ready to hold on.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks went directly to the bench, and Qiao Hai saw this, and also replaced the players at the end of the bench on the court, without garbage time, these players would not have appeared on the court in the Finals.
In the end, the Lakers won one more game at 122-95.
After 2:0, the Lakers' call to win the championship was already extremely high, and the spinach company also urgently lowered the odds for the Lakers to win the championship, and the Lakers looked unstoppable.
Qiao Hai proved with another victory that no matter what Qiao Hai said in front of the media, he would still win the ball that should be won.
In the third game, all the Lakers arrived in New York, and at the Madison Garden Plaza Arena, the Mecca mecca known as the NBA, New York director Spike Lee shouted on the sidelines, hoping to interfere with the Lakers.
Qiao Hai thinks that Spike Lee is like a clown, who can only shout and scream, and does not understand the ball at all.
Now the Knicks, even if Spike Lee rushes into the court and plays five with the other five Knicks, the Lakers can win.
In this game, Jeff Van Gundy put on a defensive lineup again, and in the last game he put on an offensive lineup, but he lost even worse, and after thinking about it, he had to play defense again.
Patrick Ewing's interior partner was also changed, with Marcus Camby starting and Jeff Van Gundy hoping the Knicks could guard O'Neal.
But O'Neal was already crazy in the last game, and this game is still the same, although Marcus Camby cooperated with Patrick Ewing to pinch O'Neal, O'Neal always passes the ball, and every time he passes, he can always pass opportunities.
After a few passes, Marcus Camby didn't dare to wrap up O'Neal.
O'Neill also took advantage of this opportunity and scored consecutive points.
The Lakers led by another 13 points at halftime, and the Knicks' defense improved a lot in this game, but it was obviously not enough.
The plot is always similar, it is still the third quarter, the Lakers are exhausted, and there is another wave of outbreaks, the third quarter is over, the difference has expanded to 20 points, and the game has ended early again.
But this time, perhaps because of the return to home, Jeff Van Gundy could only stick to it, and the main team remained on the field until the end of the game.
In the end, the Lakers won another 20-point victory, and led 3:0 directly in the finals, only one game away from sweeping, too strong!
