Chapter 341: Strangling the Lakers

(Ask for recommendation)

Phil Jackson is one of the best head coaches in the NBA, there is no doubt about it, he is the founder of the Bulls dynasty, and his eight years and six championships are second only to the cardinals of the year, it can be said that even if he does not retire now, he is already a legendary coach in the NBA, and his strength and ability are naturally extraordinary.

But even so, Phil Jackson also has his shortcomings, he has never been a coach who is good at on-the-spot command, otherwise he would not have had it in Zhuang Fei's previous life. Zen Master's title, this is an immobile person, in his coaching philosophy he trusts superstars on the court more than his own changes on the sidelines, just like when he coached Jordan when he was with the Bulls, even if there is any unfavorable situation in the team, as long as Jordan is present, he will not panic, and if Jordan is not there, he will only replace Jordan.

Therefore, Phil Jackson is a coach who advocates strength from the bones, in his coaching philosophy, the strength of the player and the strength of the team are always the first, and the role of the coach is only to stimulate all these strengths, so he never thinks that he will lose to a team that is not as strong as himself, although he was a little unhappy when the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves last season, he was not unconvinced, because the strength of the Timberwolves was indeed stronger than the Lakers last season, and he never thought that his ability was inferior to Zhuang Fei last seasonIt's just that the team is not good, but this season, after beating the Timberwolves three times in the regular season, he has developed a strong self-confidence.

The current Lakers are the best in the NBA. Even the Timberwolves are inferior to the Lakers, and any intrigue and intrigue can be ignored in the face of absolute strength. Therefore, when he saw that Zhuang Fei only chose one-on-one man-to-man defense in the face of the Lakers' triangle offense, although the coach was a little uneasy at first, he was relieved when he saw O'Neal forcing Garnett to score easily.

Zhuang Fei's one-on-one duel between Garnett and Ao Fat is self-defeating. The Lakers also won this game.

In fact, the development of the game at the beginning is indeed going according to this trend, although O'Neal ended in a mistake in the first goal at the beginning of this game, but the next few goals were scored, and the success rate is extremely high, after all, it is Garnett who defends him, and it is basically impossible to defend O'Neal one-on-one with Garnett's height and weight. Although the Lakers also can't defend against the Timberwolves' offense, the Timberwolves' offense is more outside, and the Timberwolves' feel in this game is also average, and the shooting rate is naturally not as strong as O'Neal's. This also made the Timberwolves fall behind on their home court at the beginning of the game.

"Whew, it really fucking hurts" O'Neal slammed into Garnett and then felt like he had hit a bunch of iron rods, although the guy behind him was completely inferior to him in strength, but this guy worked extremely hard, and never gave up resistance, plus Garnett basically had no flesh on his body, all bones, O'Neal hit him with a burst of pain, although O'Neill didn't care about Garnett's strength, but it was not very comfortable, O'Neal suddenly remembered the little O'Neal who defended himself when he used to play the Timberwolves, that guy is much more 'smart', as long as he is knocked down by himself, the next time he hits him, that kid will definitely 'shrug'. But this time the bone frame made him very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Ao Fat's heart was a burst of false fire, no matter how much Sanqi Twenty-One directly pushed again, Garnett also retreated in response to the situation, while Ao Fat endured the pain in his body and turned directly to the basket to fill the basket.

Ao Fat, who successfully dunked, did not forget to roar a few words around, and was domineering for a while, and the Lakers head coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines was also extremely satisfied, this fat man is the source of his self-confidence, this guy is no worse than Jordan in terms of offensive dominance, and even stronger. …,

"Coach. Kevin has defended very hard."

Green, the assistant coach of the Timberwolves bench on the sidelines, sighed and said that Garnett never gave up his position, and it was a real difference in strength to be knocked out in the end, which is no wonder Garnett.

"Yes, it's really good" Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded, this is also the reason why Zhuang Fei asked Garnett to defend Ao Fat, although Little O'Neal may be slightly better than Garnett in terms of strength, and his defensive ability is also excellent, but in terms of defensive tenacity and Garnett can not be compared, Xiao Ao's body lacks a crazy energy to die with the opponent, although no matter Garnett or Xiao Ao can not prevent Ao Fat alone, but Zhuang Fei also needs Ao Fat, every attack must be consumed, at this point Garnett is more suitable.

"It's just really hard for him," Zhuang Fei looked at Garnett, who was still holding his chest on the court, and sighed, as a superstar, he is still willing to do this most tiring job, in addition to this is what Zhuang Fei personally ordered, there is also the fact that this Timberwolves boss really wants to sacrifice for the team, because in this person's heart, he has always felt guilty about his annual salary of more than 20 million, and he is willing to take all these things into his arms.

"Maybe after this round of games, the Timberwolves players will really accept their boss," Zhuang Fei looked at the Timberwolves players around him who were about to push the offense, and thought to himself.

O'Neal's strength is really strong, as an NBA player, this kind of offensive dominance is already the strongest level, and no one in the league can beat him in terms of domineering, but even such a strong player is impossible to attack alone one game at a time, after all, his physical strength is definitely not allowed.

In the five minutes after the start of the game, O'Neal was the absolute offensive point of the Lakers, and his success rate also represented the success rate of the Lakers, and the Timberwolves were indeed playing steadily according to Zhuang Fei's instructions, but they were also slowly being pulled away by the Lakers, but after the official timeout after more than half of the time, everything on the court changed, and when O'Neal handed over the team's offensive dominance, the Lakers' offensive efficiency plummeted all of a sudden.

The Timberwolves' game is 1-on-1 man-to-man, although Garnett can't prevent O'Neal at all, but there are problems with several other points of the Lakers, especially the team's three-leader Szczebiak, Szzczebiak is a system player, he can play a strong strength in the Lakers' triangle offensive operation system, but when Zhuang Fei uses 1-on-1 to directly release O'Fat, he is ready to pinch Kobe and Szczebiak, Under the close care of Stephen Jackson, the former Wake Forest player can only attack more with the ball, because O'Neal has been unable to create offensive opportunities for him, although Szczebiak also has his own offensive ability, but the success rate is not high, at this time only Kobe Bryant is the second point that can provide stable output for the team.

However, under Zhuang Fei's pre-game orders, Pierce, who took out the attention of the seventh game, also made Kobe Bryant's offense extremely uncomfortable, and the shooting rate of the first away game can be imagined.

Now there is a very strange phenomenon on the court, when O'Neal attacks with the ball, the Lakers' offense will be extremely fluid, and when other Lakers players attack with the ball, the Lakers' offense is simply a mess.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Lakers, who had a big lead in the first half, were actually caught up by the Timberwolves after the end of the first quarter.

"When we played the Lakers in the last round, it seems that we shouldn't have wrapped O'Neal, if Raheem is allowed to defend alone, and then I will pinch Kobe, Ron will pinch Wally, we will definitely have a chance to beat the Lakers" Seeing this scene on the court, Carter's face in the stands was remorseful, and the Grizzlies were too forward-looking when they played with the Lakers, and they were completely shocked by O'Neal's deterrent. …,

"But looking at Raheem's appearance, it is estimated that he will not be able to be as tenacious as Garnett, if O'Neal attacks without consumption, such a tactic is not feasible, it seems that only the Timberwolves in the league can use such a method to deal with the Lakers" Carter finally thought of Raheem's kind of character, and his face darkened directly.

How can Phil Jackson, who is on the Lakers bench on the sidelines, not know what the Timberwolves and Zhuang Fei are playing now, but in the face of this Chinese's yang scheme, he doesn't know how to crack it for a while.

Because he is not a coach who is good at being on the court at all, if he is in the Bulls, he will directly order Jordan to play until the opponent is trapped, and now in the Lakers he can't do this, although Ao Fat is strong, but after all, he is a big center, and it is impossible to dominate the team's offense all the time, which makes the Lakers have a vacuum on the offensive end, and during this vacuum period, the Timberwolves can completely make up for the loss of points on O'Neal, and may even completely turn it back, you must know that the Timberwolves are the first offensive team in the leagueIf the Lakers can't score points in a vacuum, the Timberwolves will never wait for the Lakers to wait for O'Neal.

Thinking of this, Phil Jackson suddenly found that his cold sweat was breaking out.

"It turns out that even if you have the strength of absolute dominance, it is possible to lose"

Phil Jackson is now thinking of a solution, it is obvious that it is difficult for him to solve the problem that Zhuang Fei gave him for a while, and now he can only let O'Neal play for a while, and then maintain a slight lead in the score, now Phil Jackson will not be like in the Bulls, even if he has been behind in the first three quarters, it doesn't matter, as long as Jordan has a decisive battle in the fourth quarter, he will definitely win.

Now when Phil Jackson faces Zhuang Fei, he is not at all confident that he can win the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter.

So when the first half ended, the Lakers still led by three points at 58-55. O'Neill, on the other hand, was a little tired and out of breath when he came off the pitch at halftime. The center scored 34 points on 14-of-25 shooting in the first half. This is usually the amount that this center can only complete in a full game, and now it is completed in half time.
