It is conceivable that even though Harris has led the team to achieve good results in the post-Magic era after taking the position, he has always had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, as if he is Riley's.... Spare wheel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This feeling, although it sounds a bit nonsensical, is really a big problem for Harris.

Back to the game.

After the start of the second quarter, both sides quickly engaged in the offense, and after the high-pressure defense in the first quarter, the players on both sides gradually found their form, and their shooting percentages gradually began to improve.

Tim Hardaway, as the Heat's former second-in-command and now the big man, his ability is naturally undoubted, Joan Barry was unable to defend him well even when he was not in good shape, not to mention that now he has begun to regain the feeling of the game.

The Heat have started an offensive frenzy with Tim Hardaway and Jamal Mashburn scoring in succession, and their excellent offense has also subtly affected the players' performance, and their centers Isaac Austin and Woshan Leonard have also begun to score for the Heat.

However, the Lakers' side immediately returned the color, Tony first gave Isaac Austin a big hat under the basket, and then he and Eddie Jones came to an aerial relay cooperation, Kobe Bryant played very decisively, he even forced a mid-to-long-range two-point shot against Woshan Leonard's close defense, and the difficult goal brought a great boost to the Lakers' morale, and the Lakers' offense suddenly improved a notch.

The two sides continued to fight fiercely in the second quarter, in terms of strength alone, the Lakers have Kobe and Tony as the team's offensive arrows and starting points, it stands to reason that they should be able to gain the upper hand easily, after all, the Lakers' offensive options are indeed more than the Heat, but the competitive appearance of the whole team today is incomparable to the Lakers, the Heat's group of players know that they are less stars in charge of the team, if they want to win, they only have to fight hard, in fact, from the beginning of the season to the present, they have come over like this, As a result, they also have an 8-4 record.

At halftime, the Lakers led the Heat by just two points, 51-49.

This made Harris's anxiety even worse.

Half time passed, Pat Riley still looked like a nobody, he was expressionless and laid out the tactics for the players, Harris saw Riley like this, he was also shocked and suspicious, he didn't know, this Riley is really not worried or is playing tricks.

Either way, it's better to be careful, Harris thought to himself, and he took the opportunity of the break to try to recall Riley's coaching style and the tactics he might adopt next, and then make a plan to deal with it.

At half-time, the two sides returned to the game.

After the start of the third quarter, the Heat unexpectedly counterattacked, and their defensive intensity suddenly rose a notch again, and the Lakers were immediately suppressed.

Harris's face changed suddenly, he had always thought that his coaching style had brought a lot of defensive progress to the Lakers team, and now the Lakers can quickly become a strong team, because many of their systems are brought about by excellent defense, Harris is convinced that the team under his command can at least rank in the top five in the league in terms of defensive ability.

And in today's game, in the first half, the Lakers were able to play a close match with the Heat, who have always been known for their iron-blooded defense, which made Harris believe this even more in his heart.

However, he didn't expect that the Heat's defense was not the strongest, and the Lakers' desperate defense in the first half could only tie with the big brother of the Heat team who retained some strength, and in the second half, as soon as the Heat team was serious, the Lakers suddenly lost the ability to resist.

In fact, this is not to say that the Lakers' strength is inferior to the Heat, but because Harris felt that he was inferior to Riley from the beginning, even if he was angry about it and felt insulted, but in his heart, he still felt that his coaching level was lower than Riley, and it was normal for the Lakers to lose to the Heat.

The strength of the Lakers is actually not bad, coupled with the absence of Mourning, the leading player of the Heat, it stands to reason that the Lakers have an advantage, but Harris's mentality is unbalanced.

In the first half, the Lakers and the Heat without Mourning were evenly matched, so Harris had a feeling of powerlessness in his heart, Mourning was not there, the Lakers were playing so hard, if Mourning was there, then the Lakers would have no power to fight back.

In this way, Harris became a frightened bird, and he also forgot one thing, the Lakers lost Fisher, which led to the Lakers being taken by Tim Hardaway on the point guard end, and the Heat's defensive level was not shown in the first half, but the Lakers, they didn't play too hard.

It's just that Harris, who is in a state of imbalance in his mentality, naturally can't find this, a ship, if the captain's judgment loses his mind, then the ship must not be far from silence.

Harris has lost confidence in front of Riley, and he is constantly changing his tactical routine, trying to prove his ability in front of Riley, but he has neglected the most basic and important point, which is the morale of the players.

Constantly changing routines, this is undoubtedly a collapse for the players, you implement one tactic and finally play some famous and familiar with it, and then immediately overturn and change to another tactic.

Not to mention that this kind of change of tactics from time to time will cause the players to be temporarily confused, just from the calm layout of the two coaches, the other side is in a hurry, and the fighting spirit of the Lakers players will inevitably be greatly bruised.

Riley faced Harris's various targets, he didn't adopt any strategy, just an ordinary move to strengthen the defense, and the Lakers were immediately suppressed by the overtake.

Throughout the third quarter, the Lakers almost fell into a kind of iron loop, Kobe Bryant had the heart to save the world, but he instead took the lead in setting off the team's iron frenzy, the Lakers only scored 15 points in a single quarter, and they were overtaken by the Heat by 10 points in one fell swoop.

Toney can still maintain the advantage under the basket, but he alone is not enough, the Lakers have lost their fighting spirit since Harris, and Kobe Bryant is stuck in the quagmire and can't get out.

The difference between the two sides grew wider, and finally, with three minutes left, Harris removed all of the Lakers' main forces and basically surrendered.
