In the moment of the break in the third quarter, Jackson frowned and looked at all the players on the court panting, that is, Kobe Bryant, who maintained the best physical fitness in the whole team, lowered his head at this time, trying to calm his breathing rhythm, and all the players on the court even seemed to have forgotten to drink water.

Seeing such a player, Jackson didn't arrange anything more, and what was arranged was in vain at this time, so he could only let the players keep recovering, and then frowned and thought about who was going to play with O'Neal next.

In response to Collins' encouragement, at the moment when everyone was around him, Collins finally said: "It's definitely not the best time to cut sharks, Oakley, you have to pay attention to this when you get on the court, no one is going to help you, and you can't easily foul ...... This is the closest you've come to a championship, and maybe the last time you've ever had a chance in your career to beat O'Neal...... Oakley, you should know how you're going to play at this time! ”

After seeing Oakley nodding in response to himself with a serious face, Collins continued to instruct: "Gong Feng, if you find that your defense is lax after you come on the field, just give me a speed, the current O'Neill is just the end of the crossbow, we will completely drag him down!" ”

"Yes! I'm going to let the Lakers play at my pace. ”

"Haywood, you played really well in the third quarter, without you we wouldn't be leading now, it's just that you're too young...... But if we win the championship, it's your hard work! ”

Looking at Heywood's unwilling but still nodded in agreement, Collins smiled with satisfaction, and now Collins will not be relieved by anyone except Oakley.

"Hamilton, you can't rest, without your empty cut, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Lakers, we can't win without you, I want you to continue to run after you come on the court, keep running until the end of the game, can you do it?"

"Even if I am tired in this game, I will do it too!"

"Gerrard, you go on the court, Oakley's ability to help defend is declining, you are our last barrier, I want you to let go of everything you have, use your roughness, use your direct to give the Lakers a heavy blow, except for not taking the initiative to foul any player, you can do anything related to defense!"

"Yes! I'll tell those guys on the Lakers what it means to be tough! ”

"Hubert, you continue to play, it's still the same sentence, you're not too young, don't leave regrets in this game! This sentence also applies to those of you who play on the field...... Any regret will be regretted in the end, I want you to think about what you can do after you play? How far can you go, you are all players who don't have championship rings, don't you envy another group of people who have rings? Don't envy what they say? ”

"Also, think about it, who is your opponent? It's not a weak senior team, it's not a bunch of stars fighting together for the championship, it's the Lakers who have won two consecutive championships...... After entering the 21st century, the first dynasty team, think about how people will introduce you when you retire and enter a party? When you move into the management of a team, what do you write on your resume? NBA stars? NBA champions? Players who beat the dynasty team? ”

"It's like that now, and it's exciting to think about it, isn't it?"

Seeing that everyone who was going to play regained their calm, and even took the initiative to look at the time, so they couldn't help but start urgently, Collins smiled with great satisfaction, and was already looking forward to the start of the game in the fourth quarter, so the state of these players must be back to the best situation, especially seeing the look in the eyes of the two Oakleys, Collins was very surprised by the effect of his words.

……

The Lakers' Kobe, Horry, and Fisher continued to rest, and O'Neal took Fox, Bryan and other five people on the court.

The silent O'Neal is terrible, and Oakley is also the one who feels it the most, maybe in ordinary games, maybe after he won the championship, maybe Oakley doesn't believe that he will work so hard, but now that he didn't get the ring, Oakley is really trying everything he has.

was selected by the Bulls in the early days, as Jordan's friend, Oakley's personality was very bold, but the Bulls manager at the time did not agree, or sent Oakley away in exchange for Horris? Grant, the main forward of the Bulls' first three-in-a-row championship.

Grant's relationship with Jordan is not very good, but he can make the Bulls move forward significantly, which is more than the completion of the deal and shows that the Bulls manager's vision is unique, but what does this make Oakley, as a party, think?

The next Oakley became the protector of New York, the tough guy who charged to protect his teammates, and the Knicks' anchor.

But is there any use in getting such a title? Isn't he one of the legions of Jordan's Banner Warriors, isn't he a very famous member?

Watching Jordan keep scoring under his own defense, what would Oakley think about in the game? Do everything you can to stop it? Can it be stopped?

The next most memorable event for Oakley is definitely the Black Eight Miracle in New York...... "The confrontation with Mourning is really enjoyable, but it's a pity that Ewing is no longer the core Ewing of New York...... "Oakley couldn't help but think of the Knicks of that era at this time, the Miami Heat who formed a hatred with the Knicks and may not be solved for the rest of their lives......

The next Oakley was traded, constantly moving from team to team, and even returned to Chicago, but everything has changed beyond recognition, everything has changed, and the Bulls, who were once at their peak, have long been at the bottom of the league......

"Fortunately, the man who used to be at the peak still remembers Oakley's friend, and even took the initiative to trade me, it feels really good to be in the Wizards, everything shown here is thriving, there is no dullness, there is no sense of impetuousness, and it is the little monster of the future league that can be educated, the super center of the future...... Do you have any regrets about facing such a team in your career? ”

"I guess it's really not going to be in such a team......

But seeing the Wizards integrate together in the playoffs and then beat the 76ers, easily defeated the Hornets in the second round, and defeated the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals without much effort, the Wizards finally entered the Finals in the eyes of everyone who was extremely surprised...... At this time, I still feel that I have no regrets at all? At this time, Oakley couldn't help but think of the ring that he had longed for in his early career.

But Oakley looked at his body, thinking about O'Neal, who showed absolute dominance in the game, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly to himself in his heart, "If I had been a few years earlier, I might have been able to give him a good try, but now...... I'm a real old man! ”

However, what surprised Oakley very much was the positive performance of the Wizards in the Finals, and they actually played Game 7 with the Lakers?

Oakley couldn't help but think about how he did in this series. In the end, I couldn't help but say something like this, "I haven't tried everything yet?" Do I have enough energy to continue to support myself? ”

Seeing Jordan enjoying the glory and leaving under the standing eyes of everyone, and thinking of Kwame Brown clenching his fists helplessly in a superstar-level match, Oakley really felt so lucky for the first time......

It wasn't until he came on the court in the fourth quarter that Oakley finally felt that his time had finally come...... So you're really tired......

"Maybe I'm still tired more than you, even more tired than you, but who am I? I'm Oakley! I'm Oakley without a championship ring, Oakley without fan recognition, but what about you O'Neal? ”

Thinking of this, Oakley suddenly felt a surge of power in his body, and his body, which was already unable to jump, felt much lighter in an instant.

At this moment, seeing that O'Neal completed all the movements, he threw the ball gently, and Oakley jumped up directly by relying on the strength of his calf, and fanned the basketball in O'Neal's hand ......
