Gu Yu, George, and Phil Jackson's night talk was the third day after it ended.

In Oklahoma, the players are warming up.

"This starting list, there are really surprises!!"

At the same time, in the studio of China's national television station, the old partners Yoga and Director Zhang sat on the side of the commentary stage, ready to bring this Mars to the Earth-style focus showdown for Chinese fans.

It is said that Mars hit the earth, but in fact, most experts are quite optimistic about the Thunder team. Whether in terms of the neatness of the lineup or the average quality of the players, the Thunder seem to be superior. It's just that for Chinese fans now, the home team in the NBA is basically either Philadelphia or the King. As a Chinese commentator, Yoga and Coach Zhang will naturally be more biased towards teams with Chinese players.

"Oh, it's really amazing!" Director Zhang leaned his head, looked at the starting list in Yoga's hand, and immediately issued his trademark tone particle: "This is interesting, hey, the Kings team has suddenly changed the list, right?" The starting list reported yesterday is not like this! ”

"That's right, the Kings started the roster yesterday and there was no difference between it was against the Clippers." Yoga nodded: "But today's list has changed dramatically, and it seems that the lineup advantage of the Thunder's large lead has been narrowed down a lot!" ”

"Hehe, it also depends on how the two Kings players are in shape now." Director Zhang smiled: "If this is just a pseudo-starter, and in the end you have to rely on the previous lineup, the Thunder still has an advantage." ”

"Director Zhang is right, but a cautious person like Phil Jackson shouldn't have done such a bold thing, right?" Yoga said: "If the players don't get back to 100 percent, with the character of a Zen master, they will definitely not let them play rashly." ”

"It doesn't have to be." Speaking of the historical issues that Coach Zhang is best at, the meritorious player of Chinese basketball immediately opened the conversation: "Don't look at Phil Jackson, an old man, who seems to squint his eyes every day, without any anger and no fighting spirit." But people's brains are fine, and what will happen on the pitch has long been calculated. ”

"For the most part, Phil Jackson is really cautious, and that's right. But if the situation is not good and there is something to be done, he will not be relentless. You see that when the Lakers first generation of F4 that year, Malone was injured all the time, and he was almost never put on the court? ”

"Hmm...... It seems that this is indeed the case. Yoga nodded.

"In addition, the Lakers played Philadelphia that year, knowing that Iverson was powerful, didn't Phil Jackson replace Tyronn Lue in the first game, and wanted to use speed to contain Iverson? This decision, now it seems, is called a boldness. You must know that Fisher has been the main starter almost all season, and suddenly changed in the finals, how bold can this be? ”

Director Zhang continued: "Of course, in the end, this rotation was not very successful, and Phil Jackson immediately made corrections. But you can't help but admit that the old man is still very thoughtful and executive, right? ”

"What Director Zhang said is very reasonable." Yoga was persuaded and nodded: "So Director Zhang, according to your opinion, will the starting lineup given by Phil Jackson today continue forever?" What role will the two players who entered the starting line play in this series for the Kings? ”

"It's a two-way score." Zhang instructed: "First of all, the starting center was changed from McGee to Bynum. I think this rotation is going to continue. Why? The reason is simple, McGee can't stop Cousins, right? Bynum still has a chance against Cousins, right? And Bynum has already played an average of 20 minutes per game in the last series, proving that he is in good shape, right? So Bynum will definitely be able to play the starting role, and in order to limit Cousins to a certain extent, Bynum should continue to play as a starter, and his playing time will definitely increase. ”

"Uh-huh, that's the truth." Yoga nodded, "What about George?" George's recovery has never been known to the outside world, and no attempt has been made to recover. As soon as he suddenly came back this time, he immediately got into the starter. Will this prove that George has fully recovered? ”

"Not necessarily." Director Zhang shook his head and said: "George's situation is more complicated, Bynum has been recurring for a long time, and he has not been strong, and he has been back and forth several times, which is a typical 'small injury and long recuperation', and he will come back after a good deal." George is recovering from a major injury, and it is a major injury that could jeopardize the future of his career, so he will definitely be more cautious overall. Theoretically, you should also be like Bynum, play off the bench first, find your feelings, and then return to the starting XI when you feel right. ”

"But now George is just getting the starter back, so there are two possibilities. The first is that in the last round, George's condition was enough to come back, and he played ten or twenty minutes per game. But Phil Jackson felt that George could win without coming back, so he simply let George rest again and prepare for this round of fierce battles. If that's the case, then George will be the next permanent starter, completely back into the Kings system. ”

"And what if that's not the case?" Yoga asked.

"That could be a psychological tactic." Zhang Zhengse said: "Use George's comeback to motivate the Kings players." George could go down for a few minutes and be a complete pseudo-starter. The purpose is to give the players more mental motivation and let the players play better when the Kings are at a disadvantage. IT'S FOR THE BROTHERS.,IT'S CALLED BROTHERHOOD IN ENGLISH.,UNDERSTAND? ”

Whether yoga understands or not, only yoga itself knows.

But on the court, the Thunder generals are completely incomprehensible.

“…… What the?! ”

also just got the latest changed starting list, Thunder coach Brooks' head buzzed, and he suddenly couldn't stand.

You know, just a day ago, the two sides submitted the team's starting list in advance in accordance with the regulations. The Kings gave the same lineup as before, and it hasn't changed at all.

Based on the Kings' roster, Brooks made two very simple tactical arrangements:

First, positional battles create opportunities for Cousins to crush McGee, gain a foothold on the inside, and establish an advantage.

Second, after Cousins opened, it was almost certain to attract the bag, and then Durant began to take over the game, and Cousins distributed the ball to Durant in time, allowing Durant to kill Beasley on the weak side.

Although these two tactical arrangements are simple and crude, from the perspective of the counterpoint, they are called concise and effective, and it definitely makes sense.

Holding a dragon slaying knife in his hand, but there is only one wooden shield defense in the same position on the opposite side, who will you attack if you don't attack??

Once the tactical ideas are decided, the players will naturally follow this routine to carry out intensive exercises. Not to mention yesterday, even this morning, when running tactics on the training ground, everyone also followed these two principles to prepare, and their minds were full of thoughts of "make the ball for Cousins, and then make the ball for Durant".

And now, Phil Jackson suddenly changed his hexagram, and the starter was changed into two, so that Brooks's tactical arrangement directly became a piece of waste paper, who can stand this change? ?

Brooks couldn't stand it anyway.

"You ...... Insidious enough. ”

Here, Brooks is looking at the starting lineup and scratching his head, wondering whether he should make some adjustments here.

On the field over there, the players of the two teams who began to warm up have begun to choke.

"At such a time before the game started, the starting list was suddenly changed, heh." Near the center circle, Tyrek Evans happened to meet George, who was motivating himself, and sneered: "Such a dirty trick is used, and you Kings can do this kind of thing." ”

“…… I didn't know much earlier than you. George glanced back at Evans and said coldly: "If you feel scared, then surrender early, we can win a few points less against you and give you a face." ”

“…… Hey, I'm really weird, too. Evans didn't expect that George, who was sensitive and introverted by nature, would actually say such a thing in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with his nostrils facing the sky: "How many games have you played with that guy?" Why did he suddenly become like him, running the train with his mouth full of words, and he was untrustworthy? Are we afraid? My second record in the West, will I be afraid of you eighth in the West?? Joke! ”

"Hehe, keep laughing at me for talking like my cousin, what about yourself? Have you ever heard how you speak now? George was happy, and a feeling of IQ suppression arose: "Were you like this before?" I'm afraid not! You used to say a word on and off the court, and I always thought you were a dumb person. Now you're not full of trash talk and arrogant? Who are you influenced by? Do you still need me to say it?? ”

"I'm ......!"

George's argument was reasonable, evidence-based, and measured, and he almost didn't let Evans' lungs out. Without waiting for him to come up with a way to say goodbye, Wei Shao saw this from afar, and rushed over at a trot.

"What, you want to bully my son??" With big eyes, Wei Shaoyi hugged George, who was crying and laughing, by his side, and said menacingly: "Tell you, if you want to bully him, beat him and me first!" ”

This......

A "son" suddenly evoked Evans's tidal memories, making him stunned in place, unable to say a word for a while.

Don't think about it, this kind of boring thing like a father-son game must be Gu Yu's idea.

So in the past few years, who was arrogant and domineering in the team, shouting Evans "smash" every day?

And who was the first to stand up and roar against the world when Evans was scolded by reporters, sprayed by fans, and bullied by opponents?

"Your shooting has improved a lot."

Just when Evans was swept away by the waves of thoughts, his body and mind trembled.

The voice that made him hate it to the core, but it haunted him, sounded in his ears.

Gu Yu.

"It seems that after serious practice, the stability will be better if the right wrist goes down a little bit." Gu Yu passed by a few people, and his footsteps did not stop for a moment: "It seems that you listened to what I told you...... Very good. ”

In an instant, Terek Evans, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.

However, a fierce battle is coming.

No matter how much love and hatred, no matter how much brotherhood, no matter how much the present and the past.

All of them are ...... on the sword!
