"Gong Feng, the key to this round may be on you! If Payton plays very hard and he has a high success rate, I don't guarantee that I won't replace you and let you lead the bench to score! After the opening, the Lakers may start from you, and you have to be ready to defend at the beginning! ”

With his mind set up on what Mill had told him before the game, Bow Peak focused all his attention on facing Payton. "Allen can't take care of me in this round, which is also a point of view that the Lakers can win, but Payton, do you still have the strength of 01? Or has your voice in the Lakers been consolidated to the greatest extent? ”

Payton didn't seem to see the seriousness in Gong Feng's eyes, but slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, and then looked at the situation on the court.

Yao Ming really didn't defend O'Neal, but Wang Zhizhi who defended the outside, Yao Ming's footsteps and movements are very good now, and his ability to protect the frame is even better, although he won't take the initiative to defend O'Neal, but no one knows when Yao Ming will appear in front of O'Neal.

This is the biggest advantage of the Knicks, strong benches, well-rounded players, and multi-faceted tactical options, which are all lacking in the Lakers themselves.

O'Neal and Malone are already old acquaintances in the playoffs, after O'Neal's journey to the west, almost every playoff trip is basically eliminated by the Jazz, although Malone is now old, although the Lakers defeated the Jazz to advance to the finals to win, but everyone knows that Malone in the Jazz and Malone in the Knicks are two concepts!

In the Jazz, Malone is the absolute core and the end point of all Jazz tactics, but in the Knicks, as long as Malone can defend O'Neal alone, the Knicks have a high chance of winning this round of the Finals.

Ma Long, who didn't care about anything for that ring, even offered to let a junior replace him as a starter in the Eastern Conference Finals, which can be seen from here that Malone attaches great importance to the Finals journey.

Payton watched O'Neal ask for the ball with a serious look, and everyone left quickly, the Knicks had no intention of helping defense, and the other players of the Lakers did not mean to rush to grab rebounds, and both sides just quietly watched the direct battle between two of the top 50 superstars left in the league!

After such a grand finals series, it may be the final swan song!

Jordan was sent away after last year's finals, and Malone may be sent away in this year's finals...... Malone didn't really belong to the Knicks when he came back, but Malone after coming to the Knicks was able to get the ring as the absolute main force.

When O'Neal leaned on Malone with his back and got the basketball, it seemed that the breathing of fans all over the world stopped at this moment, looking at the two who left a deep mark in the NBA, maybe it would be the first ball confrontation in the final showdown!

The moment O'Neal took the ball, he leaned on Malone tightly behind his back, and then began to hit hard, Malone took a small step back from the impact of this time, but quickly raised his hands and stepped forward to meet it, but O'Neal was at the moment of Malone Ying, quickly took his right foot as the axis, half turned around, and won a little space, did not jump up to dunk again, but ended the battle with a small hook.

The ball went in cleanly! But looking at O'Neill's serious expression, Gong Feng knew that O'Neal, who scored this goal on the field, was no longer the O'Neal who generally kept smiling in the finals that year.

The shark is calmly devouring the food in its mouth!

Malone took the ball and smashed it hard before sending the ball out of the bottom line!

When Gong Feng stepped forward to receive the ball, he looked at Payton, who was not pressing the defense by his side, his eyes turned around, he laughed, and then slowly held the ball to the front court.

Payton's kraft-like defense is indeed very tough, and his outside pressing defense with Kobe Bryant makes the Mavericks' luxurious outside line sluggish, makes the Timberwolves' scoring core inaccurate, and makes the Spurs' speed and weird outside line lose their majesty.

If O'Neal is still the anchor of the Lakers, then Payton and Kobe's close and strong defense is the Lakers' toughest shield.

After two consecutive years of failure in the playoffs, every Finals player on the Lakers team at that time has changed to varying degrees, and Kobe Bryant is of course the one who has changed the most.

Although Kobe Bryant in that series, the strength he showed was already an undoubted superstar performance in the league, but a loss is a loss, and Kobe Bryant is not a player who will find a convincing reason to excuse himself, he also deliberately asked Jackson for the loss of the finals, asking about his shortcomings in the game in this round of games, looking for a way to make himself stronger again.

Faced with such a rare situation, Jackson asked with an interesting look in his eyes, "Where do you think you are different from Jordan now?" ”

Kobe Bryant was stunned when he heard this question, in this round of games, Jordan's performance was perfect, but the Wizards' winning factor should not be him, Kwame's crazy performance in Game 6, and Gong Feng's calm killer in Game 7 should be a major reason for the Lakers' loss!

Jackson looked at Kobe Bryant like this, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh bitterly: "No wonder you have such an expression, in fact, if you lose in this round of the finals, how can it be your responsibility, or O'Neal's responsibility?" In fact, the biggest responsibility for losing is on me, and I didn't think it through! ”

"Everybody says the Wizards stole a win from the Lakers! Collins did not express any objection to this, and obviously acquiesced in such a statement, which also indirectly set off his toughness! In this way, in the eyes of the Wizards themselves, the strength of our Lakers team is also stronger than that of the Wizards, so how did we steal the victory step by step by the Wizards with such strong strength? ”

Fei'er, who asked this question, just gave Kobe a little space to think, and gave the answer himself, and he was afraid that Kobe would get into the horns of the bull for this question!

"The first game is the one that the Wizards have to win, and if you lose this one, the Wizards don't have any hope of winning! It was only when I looked for the answer that I realized that this was the game that the Wizards used the most hard work for! ”

"Think about our state of mind at that time! Seven games against the Kings and came to a big occasion that will definitely be honored, from the beginning of the Wizards led away, in the end, even if we are serious, we also lose to the Wizards who feel hot, plus the league at that time a little care for the Wizards, this shows the knowledge, if you carefully study and understand, you will feel that the other side of basketball unfolds in your eyes! ”

"Don't think that you really can do anything, there is no omnipotent person in this world! The Wizards must have their own strength to win, but the person who uses everything up will not have any regrets, otherwise you can only look back and regret why you didn't do it at that time! ”

Seeing Kobe Bryant sitting in his seat and thinking carefully, Jackson spoke again: "Do you remember the last five minutes of our second Finals? It was a game we couldn't afford to lose, and it was a game where we really started to get serious, but when I thought about it later, I really regretted it! We underestimated Corinth, but we didn't find our little rival! Gong Feng performed really well in this game! ”

"In this game, the Wizards may know that they are unlikely to win the eventual victory, so they will inevitably give their best at the beginning! Go all out to start with us, but you can't make the game too ugly and you and O'Neill get time to rest between games. ”

"If the fight is ugly, the faces of the top brass of the alliance will inevitably be ugly. If you lose to us by a big score at the beginning, then this game has no value to watch, and it will also give you a real rest, but if you carefully study this round of games, you will find that the Wizards' real use of strength is Gong Feng, Jordan and Kwame are in the actual rest stage, even if O'Neal makes free throws! ”

"From here, do you still underestimate the youngest FMVP in the NBA?"

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this, putting himself in the situation of Gong Feng, and he couldn't do what Gong Feng could do! At most, I can let myself play to my best and let the fans see the wonderful scoring highlights, but I can't really let the situation of the game be done according to the set script!

This ability of Gong Feng is indeed amazing!
