Barkley said it was the most offensive Finals in nearly 10 years.

The Lakers frequently attacked the interior from Lopez's side to good effect. The Bobcats have a stronger offense. With seven minutes left in the first quarter, the Bobcats led by five points at 17-12. Hayes had 11 points, three rebounds and two assists.

Lakers head coach Jackson called a timeout, and he couldn't afford to ignore Hayes' scoring streak.

"I don't know what kind of tactics the Lakers will adopt, if they don't curb Hayes' offense, this game may be the last game." ESPN's commentator Joan Barry said: "In the first three games, a lot of people said that the Lakers' loss had something to do with Coach Jackson's lack of on-the-spot adaptability. ”

"Jackson is a great coach and he likes to let the players adjust themselves, it's just that the Bobcats are too strong." Magic Johnson sighed.

Some say Jackson is the greatest coach in NBA history because he has the most championship rings of any coach; Some say Jackson is the most overrated coach in NBA history because he has Jordan and O'Neal; Some say Jackson is the most resourceful coach in NBA history because he subdued Rodman; Some say Phil Jackson is the luckiest coach in NBA history because he really didn't play a role on the floor...... Now that the Lakers are about to be swept away, the media has revealed that Jackson is the most overrated coach, and without a dominant superstar like O'Neal, he can't prove himself in the Lakers.

Jackson smiled and said nothing about all kinds of discussions, just like a Zen master who had entered the meditation.

Every time I watch a Lakers game, people will see Jackson sitting calmly on the court, indifferently watching the situation on the court, whether it is leading by 10 points, 20 points, or behind by 10 points or 20 points, he never sees any emotional fluctuations, joy and anger, and let them adjust freely. Sometimes even if there is a big problem on the scene, it is still not called a timeout, which is incomprehensible. Is he old and confused? Or is it true, as everyone says, that he is just a pustule with superficial scenery but no real talent?

When everyone saw Big Van Gundy jumping thunderously on the sidelines, Nelson Sr. jumping up and down, Adelman thinking calmly, and Sloan being meticulous, everyone thought that this was the best and most dedicated coach, but the total number of championship rings of the above four coaches was zero!

This is enough to explain the problem, Jackson shit luck is enough to take it once, 17 years of coaching, 11 finals, 9 championships, if you can go so many shit lucks, it is strength.

There is no doubt that Phil is a good coach. Some would say that the teams he led were all championship-caliber teams, with the Bulls owning Jordan and Pippen, and the Lakers owning O'Neal and Kobe. Then you can check that Jordan entered the league in 1984, Phil did not win a championship in 4 years before he became the owner, and Phil began to win three consecutive championships in the second year after he became the owner; O'Neal and Kobe Bryant came to the Lakers in 96, and Phil did not win a championship in the first three years of ownership, and Phil began to win three consecutive championships in the same season. Therefore, not all championship-level teams can win championships, but Phil Jackson is their final piece of the puzzle.

Two ESPN commentators discussed Jackson. Joanbari laughed: "I'm not raising the bar, I'm just asking this question for some fans. After O'Neal's transfer, only Kobe Bryant was the case, and Coach Jackson never led the team to break through the first round of the playoffs. Is he really that good? ”

Johnson laughed: "For example, Adelman can make the Rockets without Maddie into the playoffs, if it may not work if it is replaced by Jackson, then Jackson is not as great as Adelman?" It's a ridiculous theory. For example, if a doctoral supervisor is asked to lead a group of primary school students, but the grades of these primary school students are not as good as those taught by another primary school teacher, then it is reasonable to say that the level of this doctoral supervisor is not as high as that of primary school teachers. The first premise of the doctoral supervisor is that he must be a doctoral student, and then in the research process, the doctoral supervisor will not personally analyze every detail of the topic for the student; But elementary school teachers and pupils must teach them handwriting, arithmetic, and life experience step by step. Doctoral supervisors may win awards for a project, with tens of millions of bonuses, and primary school teachers have worked hard for decades without that income. That's why Jackson rarely lays out his tactics with a lot of care, while other coaches are dutiful but nowhere near Jackson's accomplishments. Letting him lead the rocket is likely to be nothing, but who cares? He's the kind of guy who can turn a strong team into a championship team, while other coaches can make a weak team strong but can't make a strong team stronger, just like an elementary school teacher can't mentor a PhD student. There's no need to say too much about tactics when it comes to superstars! If it weren't for the Bobcats being too strong, the Lakers would have won the championship. The Bobcats have two good coaches, one of the strongest stars. ”

Jackson really didn't say much. He didn't even change his tactics, he just brought on Odom and replaced Bynum. "Lamar pays attention to changing the defense of Hayes, and in the offense, Lamar pulls to the high post to cover Kobe, and Kobe Bryant mainly attacks."

Jackson was ready to score Kobe Bryant and Hayes. He heard Kobe Bryant say that in a one-on-one situation, if Hayes didn't have to hit a hard arch with his back, Kobe Bryant would have the upper hand.

Defending Hayes can't be used with a bag, and Odom Bigasu is good at defending the perimeter. On the offensive end, he can also shoot from mid-to-long range, and he can remove the Bobcats inside more than Bynum.

The game resumes.

Hayes glanced at the Lakers players who were on the court and immediately guessed some intentions.

'Odom is on?' It seems that you are going to give up your height advantage and play fast! If he pulls up to the high post to cover Kobe, I will have to spend a lot of physical energy to defend Kobe. They will attack against attack. ’

Kobe Bryant catches the ball!

Odom pulled up to the high post to cover Kobe, and Hayes immediately switched defenses.

Kobe Bryant received the ball, stepped forward, shook his left and right shoulders, Hayes took a small step back, he decided to defend Kobe Bryant broke through Kobe Bryant's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and one of his actions made Hayes out of the defensive area! He jumped up and threw a three-pointer in style.

"Brush!" The ball goes into the net. 17 to 15.

"Good shot!" Johnson in the commentary box clenched his hands. He said before the game that he most wanted to see Kobe Bryant and Hayes score. Now it's finally time to begin.

Fans are also excited, Kobe Bryant's scoring is always so easy, if he can still play at the level of playing in this game, the Lakers can win.

Hayes didn't get the ball on the outside, but ran straight to the low post at a 45-degree angle to ask for the ball. Defending him in the low post was Gasol, and Odom was a little frustrated with Hayes' back. Now the Lakers are equivalent to Odom, Gasol, and Butler who rotate to defend Hayes, and there is no package, but the three can make up for each other's shortcomings.

'I haven't singled you down much before, because it's better to let the other players attack and don't think you're going to eat me. Hayes leaned on Gasol, took the ball and retreated, facing Gasol head-on. Gasol was worried about being passed by Hayes and kept a little distance. Hayes suddenly jumped backwards and threw the ball with one hand with his right hand.

Throw back!

Hardly any warning, smooth and fast hits. Gasol jumped up to block, but Hayes only jumped the ball slightly and took the shot, Gasol took time to jump, watching the basketball leap past his fingertips and into the basket. 19 to 15.

"It's so easy!" Hayes laughed.

Gasol gritted his teeth and served the ball. Against top power forwards such as Garnett and Duncan, he has never been blown up like this. Now he has to admit that Hayes is indeed more powerful and more comprehensive.

"Let's change positions, I'm going to defend Kobe. Kevin, you guard against Butler! Hayes said to Wallace and Durant in the defense.

"Good. Defeat Kobe! Wallace immediately stepped back inside to target Odom, he understood what Hayes meant, and after two years, the two have become a tacit partner.

Durant also followed Butler. The biggest feature of the three of them is that they can switch positions with each other.

Hayes stepped into the shooting guard position and faced Bryant on the outside.

'Aren't you trying to create opportunities for me to play against Kobe?' It's too much trouble to cover, just come on. 'Hayes isn't afraid to go head-to-head with Kobe!

In fact, Bryant was not willing to face Hayes' defense. Hayes is tough, doesn't move slowly, and doesn't suffer from playing on the outside. By covering Hayes alone through his teammates, Kobe Bryant had to spend more effort. But he is a leader, and a leader must not be afraid of challenges.

Bryant caught the ball from Fisher on the left side, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and with a wave of his left hand, the player immediately pulled away.

'Come on! Hayes, look how I humiliate you! Kobe Bryant shouted as he stared at Hayes, who was crouching in front of him.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hayes's mouth.

Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball back and forth with both hands, his body suddenly flashed to the left, Hayes moved a little to the right, Kobe Bryant had dribbled the ball to his right hand, suddenly turned sideways, and broke through from the right side with a force of his right foot.

It's over! Bryant shouted in his heart.

His hands suddenly emptied, and a hand seemed to pass through his waist.

Broken? It was the last thought on Bryant's mind. Then he turned his head to see Hayes pick up the basketball and rush forward at full speed.

The two were heads-up at the top of the arc, and Hayes formed a solo fast break after a successful steal and scored on the basketball. 21 to 15.

NBA players will use dunks to complete the solo fast break, and Hayes did not dunk because he needs more physical strength in the case of Kobe Bryant, he needs to reduce unnecessary consumption, and in addition to protecting himself from malicious fouls by the opponent who is being pursued.

'This guy's hands seem to be faster than before'. Kobe Bryant thought to himself. He understood that Hayes was pretending to eat a feint, and he must have expected how he would break through, and he wanted to gamble on a steal from the beginning.

Bryant's brow furrowed tighter and tighter, but Hayes kept smiling lightly, as if it was just a game. The cameraman happened to focus the camera on them, and on the court, the expressions of the two men were in stark contrast.

'I won't lose to you!' Bryant yelled inwardly. More than team minded, everyone knows that he is not as good as Hayes, and he can't even lose heads-up.

Kobe Bryant received the ball and walked inside, Hayes kept following, Kobe Bryant couldn't easily shake off Hayes by relying on speed, and took a step with his back to the edge of the penalty area at a 45-degree angle on the right side, turned and threw a backward jumper.

Hayes also poked Kobe Bryant's waist, but Kobe didn't tickle and didn't care. The ball hits the board and goes into the basket. 21 to 17.
