Collins' only requirement for all the players on the Wizards is one word, boil! First of all, we must survive the Lakers' crazy offense in the opening game.

Stay up, stay up with your own side doing everything you can defend, and stick to the defense of Lakers players at any given moment, even if it's a small man facing O'Neal.

Survive, stay up to the score behind your side, and can't let the Lakers play a scoring climax, in other words, you can't let the Lakers score continuously, you must let all the Lakers' points be scattered.

Boil, endure your physical strength, use all the physical strength and all the spirit in your body in this first half.

Survive, endure loneliness, the depression of not being able to play in the finals, and the helplessness of being underestimated...... All negative emotions, including all other aspects of the psyche, are boiled down.

In the first half of the game, Gong Feng was rested, Hamilton was rested, but Oakley did not, Gerrard did not, Hubert did not, Tyrone Lue came on the field as an absolute main attack, and defensively against Fisher, which is very suitable for Tyrone Lue.

Puoboye also played in the first half, and this is his last chance to prove himself, and Puoboye, who wants to play in the NBA for a few more years, certainly knows what to do now, even if it is the hardest and most tiring job.

Nesby has not played again, and since being replaced by Simmons, Collins has not seen Nesby in training, although Nesby was added to the squad before the game, but Collins did not let Nesby play again.

God save the self-helpers!

This sentence is a bottom line in Collins's heart, when he even gives up on himself, there is no room for salvation, especially in a cruel arena like the NBA, he believes in this rule.

For the Wizards, it is to survive, for the Lakers, although it is difficult to play and it is very uncomfortable to be defended, the Lakers can still score and take the lead in the score, after the opening game, the Lakers have not let the Wizards lead once.

But Phil sitting on the sidelines? Jackson still felt a sense of strangeness in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but look at the Wizards' bench.

Gong Feng and Hamilton are receiving assistance from assistant coaches, doing various stretching exercises, and it seems that the accumulated fatigue in their bodies is very serious.

Wang Zhizhi and Heywood were both wearing large jackets, clothes and pants, a little tired, watching the game blankly, looking at the blow not lightly, think about it, even if Lightner and Kwame Brown are suspended, they still can't play, if there is no trace of depression, it is a strange thing.

Simmons is extremely excited, since being discovered by Collins in the Eastern Conference Finals, Simmons has been very excited, Jackson thought that Puoboye and others did not have a chance to play.

As for Nesby and the like, Jackson naturally understands why he behaves this way at a glance.

Looking at all the players on the field, Jackson looked at the players around him again, as if he thought of something, and sighed silently.

All the players on the Wizards can do their best for the championship, but what about the Lakers? How much fighting power does the Lakers' bench still have?

Except for Samaki? Walker, except for Richmond, the King's past star, all the Lakers players have already received championship rings, and they have become immune to this honor to a certain extent, maybe they will go on the court to play their abilities, and maybe they will continue to work hard for the championship, but it is a bit too idealistic to want them to do their best to fight.

These players who don't have much talent, players who have reached the end of their careers, can they continue to play to a certain extent now?

Jackson put a big question mark in his heart at this time!

Since the beginning of this season, in fact, the overall strength of the Lakers has declined, but because of Kobe's rapid rise, I can't see the magnitude of this decline, O'Neal is still a giant on the inside, but O'Neal's physical fitness and ability to dominate the basket have declined to a certain extent.

The big fat man is fatter and lazier now. Now O'Neill says a word that he doesn't like, because of age and other reasons, he has already eaten his old book again.

As for Walker, of course, he can maintain a certain combat effectiveness when he plays, and he is also a player who can play, but what help does a striker play now, can he give Horry a little rest? But will he be able to stop Gerrard's breakthrough and defense?

As for Richmond...... Jackson sighed, it was he who broke the veteran's heart, but the veteran's physical condition has also become very bad, and his years of career have made him unable to continue to play to score, without any accidents, he will retire after the end of this season, what can such a player do after playing?

Besides, is Kobe Bryant willing to play at this time? Don't want FMVP?

Jackson couldn't help but think of his coaching career with the Bulls, the changes that the Bulls' management, the coaching staff sought after the Bulls' first three-game winning streak.

When Jordan retired for the first time, the main reason was, of course, because of personal factors, but there was already a trace of disharmony within the Bulls, and the Bulls lost to the Knicks that year without personnel changes.

The Bulls immediately traded Grant and traded for almost all of the Bulls' main players except Pippen. Kerr, Hubble, put Kukoc in the NBA, traded Langley who could defend Ewing and other centers in the low post, although he still lost to O'Neal and Hardaway's magic in the playoffs, but the Bulls who pursued victory came back after the next season.

Especially after getting Rodman in the free market...... As everyone knows, the regular season record has been set and the Bulls' three-game winning streak has been formed...... Although in terms of the results reversed, it was because of Jordan's greatness and the talent of other players, and because of a series of passive reasons from various opponents in the East, but the Bulls still achieved a second triple championship, didn't they?

Thinking of this, Jackson thought about it again, could it be that the Lakers' symptoms have already appeared in the fight for a third championship?

But there's no time for Jackson to make adjustments, and now it's the last game of the season, so what do you want to do now? Now it's all about winning, and the rest will come after this game!

Thinking of this, Jackson closed his eyes, took a long breath of air from the Staples Center, and felt that the state he wanted to appear again as he wished, which was the greatest desire to support his heart.

Now there is only one minute left before the end of the half, although the Wizards' tactics are a little troublesome, but it is still too far behind the Knicks back then, as Jackson, who has studied the Knicks' defense for many years, it is enough to observe the half game, thinking of Jackson here, he glanced at Collins again, and at this time, he couldn't help but have a trace of happiness!

"God won't help you! Corinth! The god of luck is on my side, and in the third quarter of the game, I will make you feel the most complete despair! ”

Just when Jackson smiled, Collins also shifted his gaze from the field to Jackson's side, and happened to see the smile on Jackson's face, and couldn't help but be stunned, as if Collins was thinking of something, and also smiled at Jackson.

The smiles of the two people seemed very imaginary to others, and that kind of meaningful smile made the reporters who captured the two people feel a little creepy......

Although the main players of the Lakers team fell into the quagmire of the Wizards' active arrangement on the court, they relied on their strong talents, especially in the secret struggle between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the talent shown by the two, relying on their strong individual ability, still led the Wizards by 5 points at halftime 41-36.

The Lakers' 41 points were the lowest halftime in seven games, not to mention the Wizards' 36...... But it was such a score that made Stern, who was sitting in the audience on the sidelines, smile......

Of course, fans want to know that they have been chasing for so long, and in this round of the finals, there are too many miracles and touching final results.
