After Allen's birthday, the 76ers went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

Still, there are people working. Like Phil Jackson.

The Lakers have now lost two. This is something that no one expected.

Of course, O'Neal feels that everything is fine, and now it's just that the rest of the Lakers players are not in good shape, and he is not adjusting to his best, O'Neal assured Phil Jackson that he will definitely win the championship.

Phil Jackson certainly believed in O'Neal's prowess, and no one in this day and age surpassed him in talent. He also likes this player, just like Jordan back then. But trust is trust, Phil Jackson still has to do his job!

Study the tactics of the 76ers!

That in itself was something he was very disdainful. Although he also likes to explain tactics to the players, most of the time Phil Jackson prefers to let the players play on their own and highlight their strengths to fight the enemy. But now when the Lakers are in trouble, Phil Jackson has stepped up.

O'Neal has already led a group of players to the nightclub, while Kobe Bryant went back to bed early, after all, this is not Los Angeles, the stadium is not his own, he can't use it casually, there is not much to do. Now Kobe Bryant knows to keep his energy on hold.

And Phil Jackson began to study the Philadelphia 76ers by himself.

The first is the introduction of the players. The Philadelphia 76ers have almost changed their game this season. There have been a lot of changes in the interior lineup, and the players who started outside of Allen are completely different from last season. Will the 76ers have the potential to stock inside Theo? Ratliff was traded away in exchange for Rashid, who had more potential. Traded a completely unpopular forward and a draft pick for a first-round pick in the year of the draft, and bought the valuable center Ben Wallace. Of course, the harvest in the draft is also very rich, and his subordinates are also potential stocks Michael Reid, this guy is too malleable, and the current template has become the next Gary Payton, and the future is limitless. And the other Brian, although not very talented, is really good to be in the rotation.

And, of course, there's one more, Luke Wharton. One did not sign up for the draft. But the player who surprised everyone at the training camp. Although it did not stay with the Lakers' sworn enemies, the Celtics. But after coming to the 76ers, he still caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers, and this is also a player produced by the Lakers, after all, he was known as "Magic II" when he entered the league and also received the guidance of Magic. This is also a super potential stock, although the plasticity is not as perverted as Reed. But it's not finalized yet. And the lowest achievement is also a player like Rick Fox. Of course. That's the worst-case scenario, that is, not valuing the talent and wasting time. Drugs and so on, such an achievement is like that of Rick Fox. If he works harder, it's not impossible to reach the level of Maddie, and he can almost be on an equal footing with Larry Bird in his efforts.

The most important thing now is that he only signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The value of the contract for the year was only $1 million. This kind of thing is not too much, and it is not too much to say less. That's the average salary of a rookie player in the league right now, and of course, that's not in line with Luke's performance right now. Luke should also be worth a $3 million mini-mid-range contract when he's playing at his worst this season, let alone when he's playing well.

And the stupidest thing is that the 76ers don't look like they want to renew their contracts at all. Not to mention the original contract manipulation, such as the right to sign first, the right to choose the team, or anything at all, which means that after the end of this season, Luke Walton is a completely free player.

The Lakers need to work hard this offseason. This kind of player cannot be let go, although the total salary of the Lakers is now quite high, and it has reached the stage of triggering the salary cap luxury tax, but the current owner Buss Sr. is different from the later Bass Jr.,

The latter is just a businessman, while the former is a boss and a fan, and the nature of the fans is the majority, and he also knows that the wool comes from the sheep, and the more stars he has, the more income he has, the more influence he has, and the more advertising money he gets. The benefits are numerous.

But now the Lakers' total salary is very high in the 00-01 season, the Lakers' salary has reached $58.99 million, and the Lakers' salary will increase in the following season, and the salary will increase to $64.72 million in the 03-04 season, which makes the Lakers rarely have the ability to sign other powerful players.

Now the only one who can bring Luke in is the championship. And now Luke's 76ers also happen to be championship contenders, which is very bad news for the Lakers.

The only way now is to beat the 76ers and make Luke feel the strength of the Lakers and add a little leverage to next year's transfer.

But how to find the weaknesses of the 76ers is a problem.

If the current 76ers don't meet the Lakers, the championship is a sure thing, but if they meet the Lakers, the winning rate is only five or five.

The Lakers' advantage is on the inside, which no one will deny, and O'Neal in his heyday was unstoppable. However, the 76ers don't know where to find the super defensive center Ben, this guy seems to be specially designed to restrain O'Neal, O'Neal's biggest advantage is his weight, bounce speed and strength. In these aspects, in addition to weight, there is no shortage of other ones. And in some respects, it is even better. Such as power and bounce. This made O'Neal, who treats the regular season as a holiday and can beat all teams by just eight points in the playoffs. But Big Ben is like that, no matter what you do, he's just there, the same defense awaits you. As a result, a third of O'Neill's ability was consumed by Big Ben.

But that's nothing, O'Neal can sweep all the inside lines with eight points, and now it's just a drop of one notch.

But it's not that simple, the 76ers still have a magic weapon - Rasheed Wallace.

This is the Lakers' old rival, who would have met in the playoffs every year, and defeated him last year to enter the Finals. Needless to say, the strength is needless to say, and the Lakers can't find a forward who can match him. But it is such a player who went to the 76ers this year, and in the Finals, he basically gave up his shooting, and more often than not, he was defending and grabbing rebounds. And the defense is mainly to assist in defense, that is, to assist Big Ben to defend O'Neal, I haven't found it before, Rashid Wallace's ability to assist in defense is so strong, especially after adding Big Ben's ability to defend alone, it is even more terrifying, O'Neal is limited very badly. If there was only Big Ben, O'Neal would still have 70 percent of his ability, but with the addition of Rashid, who assisted in the defense, O'Neal's ability plummeted to only 25 percent. Although O'Neill can still score with this strength, he is no longer a big threat.

Next up is the outside line. Kobe Bryant on the outside is the newly cultivated strength of the Lakers, and his talent is undoubted, and he will definitely be his world in the next ten years. However, he is not fully formed yet, and the first three games of the Finals are comparable to the opposing players, although he still has a slight advantage in Reed's matchup, but when he meets Luke, he is completely helpless, and even his back-to-back jumpers are often interfered with. As for Rick Fox, Phil Jackson hasn't expected much from him, at most he just plays cover and shoots open three-pointers. A role player who can help the team. In the point guard position, Fisher is still too young, Tyronn Lue can't, and then it's only Ron Harper. This player who has been with him since the Bulls is still quite good.

Phil Jackson watched the footage of the Philadelphia 76ers over and over again.

It didn't do much, but Phil Jackson was still watching.

Looking at it, it was already late at night. Phil Jackson's eyes were a little open, but he still kept looking.

Phil Jackson suddenly woke up when he saw O'Neal pass the ball out when he couldn't withstand Big Ben and Rashid's defense. "Wait! This is it! Phil Jackson hurriedly went back and looked again.

"That's it!" Phil Jackson stood up excitedly and said.

"The 76ers' flaw is here!" (To be continued......)
