"What kind of courage do I need? Is it a shipwreck? Mir couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Do you believe me? Mill! This time, Gong Feng's expression did not have the slightest meaning of joking, and asked very seriously.

"Believe!" Mill looked into Gong Feng's eyes and replied with the same seriousness.

"Do you believe Grant? Hill, Ray Allen, Jay? Williams, Carl? Ma Long, Yao name? ”

Hearing this, after a long time, Mir opened his mouth and laughed, and then said to Gong Feng: "Do you have any ideas, say it, I, Mir, am really confused!" When the game is really the coach's business, the strength of our Knicks has never been in the coach, but in you players! ”

"Very good, since you think so, I'll tell my true thoughts, our Knicks are fighting with the current Lakers in the main team, to be honest, the winner is inseparable, no matter what method we use!"

"But we have the most talented bench in the league, and we have one of the best passing masters in the league who can play a variety of tactics," said Mill. ”

"In our main lineup, Gong Feng is in the main team, but he can't really play his full strength, and when Gong Feng is there, although the main players of the Knicks can get better play, they can't play their full ability, Ma Long, Yao Ming, Hill These players can do well with their personal abilities plus some role players on the bench!" After Mir said this, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression was completely relaxed.

"So Gong Feng, now that the offense has been determined, I just want to ask one thing now, what do you think the Lakers will do next? And what should the Knicks do to get what he wants? ”

"In the next game, O'Neal will take a break, and Malone on our side should also take a good rest, as long as we can control Kobe's play, I think we should be able to win the second game, and now the Lakers deeply understand what the league and fans think, and they beat me for four games with their strength, even Jackson has no bottom in his heart!"

"Got it! We're not going to change anything in the second game...... I remember how you Wizards won the game, right? ”

"Haha, there is this aspect, but the final result of the game is not determined by the strength of the players themselves?"

After Mir heard this, he left Gong Feng's room with laughter, and Mir, who was completely happy, also returned to his original appearance!

……

Mir, who has returned to normal, has finally put his perception of the game on a different level, not struggling with tactical restraint or when his chosen players should get better.

Before the second game, Mill didn't make any changes, just told his players to defend well at the beginning, and didn't make any special changes in tactics, just put Barry Sr., Blake and Pachulia on the rest list, and let Korver, a shooter who averages 8 minutes per game, enter the rotation.

The Knicks knew it was a game they couldn't lose, and the Lakers looked very well prepared to start the game.

The Knicks' main players are all trying to play their abilities, and even Gong Feng and Malone began to use pick-and-roll tactics to deal with the Lakers' triangle offense.

And Yao Ming began to collide with O'Neal for a long time on the bottom line, instead of handing over the main defensive responsibility to Ma Long, and did not mainly take charge of the task of assisting defense like in the last game.

O'Neal's offensive desire in this game is not very strong, just scoring the goals that should be scored, and the Lakers' main scorer is still Kobe.

This is Jackson's hard work for more than two years to change the rotation and tactical changes of the entire Lakers team into this, the relationship between O'Neal and Kobe is no longer absolutely subordinate and absolutely compatible with O'Neal, but Jackson turned two unsolvable points into two triangular offensive models, O'Neal's offense has been praised by everyone, but his organizational skills can not be underestimated.

Although in the last game, Kobe Bryant's playing time was as high as 44 minutes, but from the beginning of the scene, Kobe Bryant did not show the slightest fatigue, especially when all the Lakers players revolved around Kobe Bryant's tactical rotation, Kobe Bryant's scoring ideas were even more unimaginable to many people.

It's just that after seeing that the Lakers' main rotation and offense came from the outside, Mill used all the methods in his team to deal with those top scorers, Allen, Battier, and Gerrard all went on the court to rotate, from different people to different methods to target Kobe's offense.

In the first half, this defensive effect was not particularly obvious, but when the second half came, when all the players were close to the effect of defending with all their strength, especially when Kobe's physical strength began to decline.

The Knicks all through a resolute offense, especially Hill's physical breakthrough and organization, in the face of Payton's defense, can perfectly make the team rotate, especially when the Knicks' three-point shooters are not in place because O'Neal is not in place, and after it is completely opened, Jackson replaced Kobe Bryant according to the normal rotation.

Although he didn't admit defeat yet, Jackson only announced a normal rotation, the same rotation as the regular season.

Many Lakers players who didn't have time to play began to play, and the Lakers after Kobe Bryant and O'Neal went off the court did not mess around, and there were no players who were reckless, Payton began to play with Wang Zhizhi to play the best blocking offense, and began to let the Lakers' bench lineup compete with the Knicks as a whole...... Needless to say, the final result is not too much.

With Hill playing 45 minutes, Allen 38 minutes, Malone 42 minutes, and Yao Ming 40 minutes of playing time, the Knicks, who were all working hard, moved back to the first game.

In the eyes of many people in the outside world, this game is also a game in which the Knicks pressed the Lakers from beginning to end.

The coaches of both sides were very satisfied with the process and outcome of this game, although the Lakers lost by 10 points, but the Lakers got the rest they wanted most, and more importantly, the next game was to return to Los Angeles.

The ratings for this game were high, and the stats were flat compared to the first game, and this is what the league wants to see, and the Knicks and Lakers have collided again in years, and the influence represented by the two regions is not comparable to the rest of the United States...... In any case, the population and the number of fans in these two cities definitely have a strong advantage.

At the post-game press conference, Mill just expressed that this is the real strength of the Knicks, and in the face of the Knicks' strong strength, at least they can compete with the Lakers, and the arrangement of the first game is just a mistake of the Knicks...... This kind of Mir is completely like a young coach who is very proud after winning the finals and needs to be recognized by everyone.

Jackson looked smiling but serious, and the questions and answers to reporters were only loud, indicating that the Knicks performed very well today, and in the case of the Lakers' defense is very good, they can get more points, and Jackson also showed that the Knicks' strength is indeed possible to win the championship.

……

"I want to know what Mill has been doing in the past few days, why the Knicks have made a strong interference with Kobe Bryant at the beginning, and all the internal situations of the Knicks in the past two days, I also want to know, why didn't I see the two assistant coaches next to Mill say something next to him?"

"Yes! But we're going back to Los Angeles! ”

"I'll be back, even if we win two games in a row, we'll be back, you remember, in these days, give me everything that should be prepared, the hotel, the training ground, etc., prepare for me, the physiotherapists should be ready to work at any time, and all the auxiliary measures these days will be in place for me, especially those players who have potential injuries!"

"Yes! I'll stay here and ask about something, but I'm not sure I'll hear something useful......"

"It's just that the Knicks are very strong, although they may not be so strong after next year, but now that Hill and Malone are in good shape, the Knicks are very strong and threaten the strength of our Lakers, and we have to do 200 percent of our efforts! Do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

The last Jackson frowned and said: "Who is Korver, why he can enter the rotation lineup, and how the Knicks' tactical training is carried out these days, I want to know everything!" ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
