Chapter 62: First Strike

Seeing that Phil Jackson agreed with his point of view, Jiang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if the sixth battle was really going to fail, let him think of the words on the small glass piece, erase ...... These two faint words gave Jiang Yang great pressure, of course, Jiang Yang didn't know if his mission would really be wiped out if he failed.

But obviously he doesn't want to test this small piece of glass, whether it's accurate or not, for Jiang Yang, the guy who uses his own life to do the experiment, it's all a problem with his head, at least in his opinion, his head is not sick.

Jiang Yang, who was relieved, didn't notice that Phil Jackson, who agreed to Jiang Yang's proposal, couldn't help but smile after Jiang Yang sat down, although this guy usually has an easy face, but he never smiles when talking about tactics.

If anyone knows Phil Jackson's habit at this time, they will tell Jiang Yang, you are miserable!

However, Jiang Yang's retribution did not come so quickly, and Jiang Yang went back to catch up on sleep after taking the tactical class that day.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yang and others came to the stadium, took a bus to Sacramento together, and then stayed in the local hotel in the afternoon, all for the sixth game on May 31, both sides were accumulating physical strength.

At 7:30 p.m. on May 31, 2002, the sixth game between the Kings and the Lakers officially began at the Arco Center.

"This is the starting lineup for the Kings today, take a look!" In the pre-game dressing room, the home team's starting line-up was announced first, and Phil Jackson pointed to his roster and said to the players.

Peja, who has just returned from injury, still did not start, but his performance in the last game gave Adelman a shot in the arm, which also reassured Adelman to sit on the bench and be ready to play at any time.

"It's not changing, but their replacements should be more difficult to deal with." Looking at the lineup of the Kings, Jiang Yang's mind was thinking about everything about today's game, and it seemed that this game was not easy to play.

"Come, let's talk about today's starting lineup, people who hear names, take a step forward." After seeing the reaction of the players, Phil Jackson began to announce today's starting line-up, which is a step before each game is played.

However, the game has been played so far, and the average coach will not make substitutions in the game, even Peja is sitting on the bench, and the current main lineup is basically stable, so there is no hope for others.

"Center, Shaqui O'Neal." Hearing the first name, O'Neill smiled and took a step forward.

"Power forward, Robert Horry." Horry is also a thunderous power forward for the Lakers right now.

"Small forward Rick Fox." The first three players didn't change much, and Rick stood up happily.

"Shooting guard, Kobe Bryant" heard Kobe Bryant's name called, only then did he get up from his chair, slowly walked into the crowd, and put on his purple and gold jersey.

"Point guard ......" At this point, Xiao Yu, who had been sitting beside Jiang Yang, had already stood up and was ready to move forward.

"Jiang Yang......" But when he heard these two words, Xiao Yu's face turned blue instantly, and Jiang Yang, who had always thought that he had nothing to do today, was also stunned, and looked at Phil Jackson with a surprised face.

The other players looked at Jiang Yang with a look of surprise, and only Kobe Bryant's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

"Jiang Yang, didn't you hear it?" Seeing Jiang Yang's stunned look, Phil couldn't help but say a little angrily.

"Here!" Jiang Yang stood up, looked at the little fish with a blue face next to him, and slowly walked into the circle.

"That's our starting lineup for today, report it, we're ready to play!" After Phil Jackson finished saying Jiang Yang's name, he directly determined today's starter, ignoring Jiang Yang's constant inquiry with his eyes.

For Jiang Yang to play, the happiest should be Horry, because Jiang Yang always likes to pass the ball to him, and among the remaining three players, O'Neill is the second happy, because Jiang Yang also likes to play inside and like to pass the ball to himself.

And this guy doesn't have a hand at all! It doesn't matter if Rick Fox arrives, his main purpose is to defend.

But Kobe's face was not very good-looking, because he could see that Phil Jackson sent Jiang Yang on the court to limit the number of shots he made.

This is also Kobe's main right to shoot, in addition to giving the shark some right to shoot, the rest of the right to shoot Kobe Bryant covers half.

Only when you are comfortable throwing yourself, will you remember the other three positions to give some passes.

This is also the reason why the Lakers' assists have not been high, and it is different after Jiang Yang came on the court.

Both O'Neal and Horry will pass the ball to Jiang Yang, and Rick Fox is the centrist, passing everyone equally.

And after Jiang Yang dribbled the ball past half court, the passing was completely based on opportunities and not at people, he would not deliberately pass the ball to you just because you are Kobe, even when playing with the basketball god Michael Jordan, Jiang Yang did not deliberately pass the ball to Jordan, not to mention that Kobe, who is far less famous than Jordan, although he has just abused Jordan in the All-Star Game.

If you want Jiang Yang's ball, it's simple, if you have a chance, you will definitely give it to you! This is Jiang Yang's playing rule.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yang invisibly reduced a lot of Kobe's shooting rights, after all, he has a lot of balls that are hard with his high technical level, and such hard balls are not valid here in Jiang Yang, why doesn't he pass you hard?

So among the five people now, only two people are dissatisfied with Jiang Yang as a starter, one is Kobe, and the other is ...... Jiang Yangbei! His current ability at the highest level is C, and he still plays as a starter at such a level?

But Phil Jackson didn't give Jiang Yang any chance to explain, and turned around and left the locker room directly, Jiang Yang could only helplessly follow the starters to the court, warm up, and prepare for the upcoming sixth game......

At this time, the Imperial Court Channel 5, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, is also broadcasting this game, and the Imperial Court Channel began to broadcast the NBA without announcing it in 82, but at that time it was only broadcast for about a minute in the sports window every Thursday, and it was only in 88 that the NBA Finals were first broadcast, but it was still mainly videotaped.

At the beginning of 94, the All-Star Game and the Finals at that time were just broadcast through satellites, which was also the beginning of the live broadcast of NBA games in China, and then as more and more people began to pay attention to the NBA, the number of live broadcasts slowly increased.

In the Western Finals in 02, such a game must have been broadcast live on the Imperial Court Stage, and the two people on the live broadcast were also the Shuangping combination that everyone was more familiar with later, but at that time they were the pillars of the Imperial Court Five Stations, and the two were not as old as they looked later, and the hair on Director Zhang's head was still relatively lush at that time.

"Imperial Court TV, Imperial Court TV, audience friends, good morning, welcome everyone to turn on the TV on time, watch the 2001-2002 NBA Western Conference Finals Game 6 live broadcast by the Imperial Court TV for you, I am the host Sun Zhengping, sitting next to me is very familiar with Director Zhang, and please Director Zhang explain the current situation."

"Thank you, host, today is a key battle for the Kings, because the Kings have now been forced to the edge of the cliff by the Lakers, and the Lakers are currently leading the Kings 3-2, if they win this game, they will directly get the ticket to the Finals, so the Kings can't ......lose this game," Director Zhang carefully explained the situation to the audience.

"And we all know that there is a Chinese player Jiang Yang in the Lakers, he can now be regarded as a national basketball idol, on the eve of Yao Ming's confirmation to join the NBA, there is another Chinese player to join the NBA, which is really gratifying to us, well, now the starting lineups on both sides are out...... Let's take a look at the Kings lineup, the same as before...... Let's take a look at the Lakers' lineup again, the center is the familiar big shark Shaquy O'Neal, the big forward Robert Horry, the small forward Rick Fox, the scoring guard Kobe, and the point guard Jiang Yang...... Ay? What the...... Jiang Yang? Looking at the name that appeared in front of him, Sun Zhengping's face was crooked......
