On June 9, 02, the third Finals game between the Lakers and the Wizards was played as scheduled in the MIC Arena, the home of the Wizards.

Now in the eyes of many people in this series, the two sides have used all their hole cards, and it is just a matter of comparing the size, and the Lakers still have the upper hand in the face of the Wizards team with a 'strange shooting percentage' yesterday, which is a very obvious signal.

Now it's time for the Wizards to return to their home court, and a lot of people don't think the Wizards can still win a game.

It's a pity that Collins didn't think so, and Collins, who had a good night's sleep yesterday, came to the playing field in good spirits, and before the game, Collins heard a good news, and it's no wonder that Collins could sleep well.

"The starting list is not going to change, Kwamay, Hamilton, are you two clear about your mission today?"

"Don't worry, coach, we can handle it!"

"Very good, guys, let's play at our best!"

The players on the court looked at Collins' very calm expression, and also felt a shock to their bodies, and they could be regarded as having a strong confidence to meet this game that must be won...... After 46 minutes of playing time in the last game, it will be interesting to see if the Lakers' main team will be able to recover their strength.

Phil? After Jackson sent the main force, he glanced at Collins at this time, although he was a little surprised that Collins still looked very calm on his face, but Phil didn't think much about it, the accepted common sense of playing the playoffs, as long as the first game is won, the winning side will not change easily.

In the first quarter of the game against the Wizards, Phil? Jackson didn't feel wrong, all the players on the Wizards team didn't change, but Jordan and Leitner got off the break a little early, no big deal, maybe Collins consciously wanted to train the newcomers.

This may indicate that the Wizards have begun to move in the direction of developing new talents, and there is a lot of salary space and time next year to make the Wizards stronger, and then go to the Wizards' championship like this year.

This is also not necessarily the case...... If the Wizards do this, it will be the biggest news for the Lakers.

His own players are also performing well, O'Neal is still the same O'Neal, no one in the Wizards team can stop O'Neal, Kobe Bryant is also that Kobe, Kobe Bryant who scores very easily, Hamilton and Kwame are very difficult to defend, but it is a little strange that no one in the Wizards team will help defend these two people......

The team's main scoring has become very easy, and although the Wizards' shooting percentage has maintained its high efficiency, the Lakers still have the initiative on the court.

In the second quarter, Jordan took Lightner and Oakley on the court, which is the 'reserved item' of the two teams, and the heads-up between Kobe and Jordan in this section will be the focus of everyone's attention, but it is a little strange that today it is Gong Feng who forms a backcourt combination with Jordan, and the other has become Gerrard.

Is this the rhythm to strengthen the defense?

But what happened to Gong Feng's play? Fisher has an advantage against the bow peak.

"Let's see!" Phil's expression began to become serious, staring closely at the changes on the court, but Phil still didn't notice any changes in the Wizards at first, Kobe and O'Neal can still continue to score......

Until halftime, Phil looked at the scores of the two sides and still didn't feel wrong, and the Lakers led the Wizards by 6 points at 62-56!

Bryant scored 25 points in the first half and O'Neal scored 32 points in the half...... The two men scored a smashing 57 points in the first half, one more than the entire Wizards combined......

Not good, Phil? After Jackson saw the data here, he felt that something was very wrong with him, something he had made a mistake.

Not Phil? Jackson was a little sluggish on the court, but the Lakers in the first half of the game, the other three starters all shot the number of shots, and they were not blocked, but the shooting percentage seemed very low now.

What kind of superstars are Kobe Bryant and O'Neal?

These two are not playmakers who will organize the team to attack, and they will not give their teammates more time to find their own feelings...... Domineering is the deepest thought of these two people, so the two of them invariably began to play singles constantly and began to score each other.

Jackson looked at the data sheet in his hand and saw that at the end, his hands were shaking...... Such a look is already very obvious...... Of course, it's trembling with anger!

But Jackson, who took a deep breath, quickly calmed down.

"If Collins were using that strategy, why would Bow Peak come on the court to defend? And not Hubert? Could it be that Gong Feng still has a secret hidden in his body that I haven't discovered...... Is this your hole card? Corinth? I really underestimated you, and I still don't pay much attention to you...... It's impossible to give me time to fill in the second half, and I seem to have fallen for your strategy again in this game......"

Jackson sighed at the thought of this, and the expression on his face began to become extremely serious, and after thinking for a minute, he pushed open the door of the players' lounge, wanting to see all the players' expressions with his own eyes.

Fisher, Fox and Horry, in Phil Jackson's opinion, really performed very badly, as if they had not recovered from the game.

Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are now assisted by the team's therapists, and now they are starting to relax their muscles and stretch their muscles, and the three games in the past few days are indeed a big burden for these two people, but the Lakers can't do without any of them.

"In the third quarter of the second half, O'Neal, Kobe, you two have a little rest, Samaki? Walker, Devon? George, Brian? Shaw, Medvedenko...... And Richie? Mondstadt, the five of you will play for me, remember to hold down the rhythm for me to play, and give the main team more time to rest! ”

"Yes!" The person who was called was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, without hesitation, and began to warm up immediately,

"Fisher, Horry, Fox, the three of you come out, and all the coaching staff are giving me a trip! What about physiotherapists? Let me in all of them, give me a good time to relax O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's body, and let the two of them recover as quickly as possible...... At the beginning of the third quarter, these two people didn't have to rush into the game first! ”

"Yes!" The physiotherapists were stunned for a moment, and quickly put down all the work in their hands, focusing all on Kobe and O'Neal.

"Assistants, what about the team's assistants? Find me a quiet room in MIC and find me in three minutes, or you won't have to go back to work tomorrow! ”

"Yes!" The person who replied was immediately stunned, and ran out to find an empty room, not alone but all the assistants.

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, he took the lead to go out with a very bad face, and everyone who was named by Jackson took a look at it, and they all hurriedly stood up and followed Jackson out, without even asking, why did he do this!

……

Unlike the tension on the Lakers' side, the Wizards' side seemed much more relaxed, and Collins did not explain any tactics at this time, but asked the physiotherapist to hurry up to treat Gong Feng, Kwamei, Jordan, and after everyone had something to do, Collins said.

"Guys! We did a good job in the first half, but let's not dream that in the second half, the Lakers would give us that chance! Jackson will definitely find out what we do, and even go so far as to send out the entire bench lineup and play with us at the beginning, so that O'Neal and Kobe can rest for five minutes, and also want to see who on the bench can continue to keep their hand! ”

"What the enemy wants, is what we want to destroy, at the beginning of the third quarter, if Jackson really sends out all the bench lineup, Gong Feng, I want you to lead the team to attack with all your strength at the beginning, and give me your fast pace! I want these players who don't have a lot of playing time to get out of their way! ”

"Yes! Coach, you just see! ”

"Once O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are on the court, we have to be bold and packed, and I believe that the rest of the Lakers must feel very cold now!"

"Yes! Coach, we believe in it too! ”
