Chapter 219: Dynasty Coach? Thigh coach?
Phil Jackson's mood these days is terrible, not long ago his old enemy in the All-Star show, for a time the media once again hyped their triangle offense is not as good as that Chinese, which reminds Phil Jackson of the second triple championship of the Bulls, when he was also scolding Fang Xiao and being complacent, but the emergence of Wake Forest made his scenery dim without lasting, and even lost to the Chinese every time the best coach was selected, In the end, even the Bulls, who have Jordan, were questioned for not being as strong as Wake Forest, which is what Phil Jackson considers to be the biggest shame in his life. He has been holding back his strength to seek revenge on Zhuang Fei, but Zhuang Fei is a famous coach of the NCAA, and according to Zhuang Fei's reputation in the NCAA, it is basically impossible to come to the NBA, and it is impossible for Phil Jackson himself to give up the NBA to coach in the NCAA, which has always made Phil Jackson angry.
But in the end, what made him very excited was that Zhuang Fei actually gave up his position in the NCAA and was suspected of coming to the NBA, which also made Phil Jackson extremely happy at that time, he was going to see whether Zhuang Fei went to the Lakers or the Celtics or the Knicks, and finally Zhuang Fei actually chose a fish belly team Timberwolves, and was very disdainful of Zhuang Fei's choice Phil Jackson, although after that, he also resigned because of the league shutdown, Jordan's retirement, and the dissolution of the Bulls. But Phil Jackson's eagerness for revenge on Zhuang Fei has not changed, he wants to find a team to coach, and then beat the Timberwolves head-on, although Phil Jackson is very anxious, but he is not as hungry as Zhuang Fei, just find a team to play, Phil Jackson has been waiting for the opportunity to coach a strong team or giant, and finally entered the Lakers.
And when he came to the Lakers with great ambition, he found that Zhuang Fei had actually played well in the Timberwolves, and almost won the championship in the end, which made Phil Jackson shocked and full of fighting spirit at the same time. I will definitely beat that Chinese myself. It must also be that Chinese strong, this is his confidence in himself, but also in the Lakers.
Because the Lakers have a player who is not inferior to Jordan in terms of destruction, and the Lakers also have a group of strong role players, plus some veterans he recruited from the Bulls, he is confident that he can make the triangle offense blossom in the Lakers, and he is also confident that he can adjust a powerhouse to dominate the NBA.
The fact is that he is indeed going according to his ideas, although he has encountered difficulties in the beginning of tuning the Lakers, and the young man named Kobe Bryant will sometimes grab tactics on the court. But in the end, he was trained by himself, and Phil Jackson even thought that kid would become another Pippen, no, even better than Pippen. Except for the explosive head kid who likes to steal the show. In addition, he also encountered great obstacles in the management, and he couldn't come to Szzczebiak who wanted him.
But these difficulties did not hinder the pace of the Lakers, the Lakers began to soar at the beginning of the new season, victory, victory, victory, and continuous victory, and the Lakers' state and start even made him a little dreamlike, wonderful. even let him see breaking his best record of 72-10 in history, of course, in such a good situation, it is not without haze, the biggest haze is undoubtedly that he lost all of them in two direct confrontations with Zhuang Fei, which not only lost the position of All-Star head coach, but also once again let those hated media catch the handle.
Although losing two games in a row made him very embarrassed. But he also retains a huge amount of confidence that he can get back on the court in the playoffs and make it to the top, and he has his biggest support, Shaq O'Neal. The current No. 1 giant in the league, he also has Kobe Bryant, and he is stronger than Pippen of the same age. He also has a triangle offensive system that he thinks is superior to the run-and-gun system, and all of this gives him confidence. It's all so good. …,
But this beautiful everything changed after that damn All-Star, originally Phil Jackson has always wondered why Zhuang Fei is so optimistic about Kobe, the praise of Kobe Bryant is even to the point of no return, those what are comparable to Carter, chasing Jordan, becoming the first person in the league, and even these seem to him to be nonsense, Kobe is very good, but not to this extent, about why the Chinese said this, Phil Jackson although confused, but did not care, want to separate the Lakers? Kobe Bryant is not a fool, and according to Phil Jackson's understanding, Kobe Bryant didn't care too much about Zhuang Fei's nonsense and marginal praise. Originally, on this All-Star, seeing Kobe Bryant being bullied by Maddie, although Phil Jackson had some sympathy for his disciples in his heart, but there was more and some schadenfreude, and he wanted to see Zhuang Fei's jokes, 'This is what you said about being comparable to Carter, The player who chased Jordan's was now beaten like this by an unknown person, when did Jordan and Carter become so cheap, as long as Kobe Bryant has been in the slump in the All-Star, Zhuang Fei will definitely be smacked wide, this is what Phil Jackson wants to see the most, but in the end, Kobe's strange rise made Phil Jackson's fantasy come to naught again, and seeing Kobe Bryant's style of play changed at the last moment of the fourth quarter of the All-Star, and finally won the All-Star MVP, Phil Jackson subconsciously felt that danger was coming.
Kobe Bryant's style of play has changed, he has become extremely confident and conceited, Kobe Bryant was also very confident before, and he was also very conceited, but after this All-Star, Kobe's self-confidence and conceit became incomprehensible, yesterday's game with the Hornets was like this, Kobe began to call O'Neal on the court, of course, this kind of calling is more of a competition for the ball, and the two have no contradiction off the court, but this kind of battle on the court is more fatal than off the court. In the triangle offensive system, the team only needs one sun, the Bulls used to be Jordan, now the Lakers are O'Neal, and now Kobe can only be a moon in terms of strength, but at this time Kobe is preparing to become the Lakers' second sun.
Just now, when Phil Jackson called Kobe to his office to enlighten him, he was choked by Kobe Bryant's anger. The look of contempt and anger on that exploding kid is something he will never forget.
"You don't know me at all, and you don't trust me at all"
"Mr. Zhuang is right, this is my style"
"I could do everything when I was in basketball, I could do what Shaq could do, and I proved that in the All-Star Series."
"The only thing I can trust on the basketball court is the basketball in my hand, which is my biggest weapon"
When Phil Jackson heard Kobe's words "The only thing I can believe in on the basketball court is basketball", he was almost angry and vomited blood, if this was said by O'Neal, he would applaud, in the triangle offensive system, the tactical finisher has such a right, but now Kobe Bryant is just a core player who is a little stronger than ordinary players, he has no position as a tactical finisher, nor does he have the ability of a tactical finisher, maybe he has such an ability in the future, but that is also the future and not the present, He will only become a cancer in the triangular offensive system.
"I still underestimate you, you are too vicious" Phil Jackson muttered to himself, Kobe Bryant is certainly not a fool, and he can naturally distinguish between some sweet words, but what if the person who is sweet words has helped him or even greatly helped him in practical actions? Phil Jackson certainly knows who will change Kobe, and Kobe has indeed made progress under Zhuang Fei's guiding ideology, not only progress, but also a leap, and now he has become one of the hottest new stars in the league, and he has also become the youngest All-Star MVP in NBA history. This also made Kobe Bryant believe in Zhuang Fei, and even worshiped him like a god. …,
And if he just asked Kobe to obey the tactical arrangement at this time, then in Kobe's heart, he is the bad guy who suppressed his growth, or the person who didn't trust him and didn't understand him. At this time, Phil Jackson's position is very difficult, this is the first time he has encountered such a thing, as a passing coach with 6 championship rings, he was so drugged by his opponent, how not to make him angry, but after the anger he didn't know how to solve such a thing now.
"I'm afraid that you are the only one in the whole United States who can do this thing so interlocking, without a trace, I lost this contest" Phil Jackson suddenly collapsed in his office chair and sighed with his eyes closed, after pondering for a while, suddenly Phil Jackson's eyes had opened, and there was no loss and confusion in his eyes just now.
"Hmph, you did a very beautiful trick, but don't underestimate me too much, you have 3 champions, but I have 6, I will let you lose your wife and break the army" Phil Jackson suddenly straightened up and said with a fierce look in his eyes
Phil Jackson is in trouble, the Lakers also lost, Zhuang Fei is very happy about this matter, maybe others don't know the meaning of the Lakers' loss to the Hornets, thinking that the same as the Timberwolves is also a normal loss because of some ups and downs in the state, but Zhuang Fei looked back at the final game video of this game and confirmed his guess.
"The serial plan has finally worked, now it's up to you how you deal with it, and it's time for you to prove to me that you're a dynasty coach or a thigh coach"
Excitement is excitement, but now there is also an extremely headache for Zhuang Fei to solve, and like Phil Jackson, his own players also have problems.
Just as Zhuang Fei was pondering, the door of his office was pushed open, and it was Paul Pierce who pushed the door open. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
