Chapter 718: He's No Worse Than Jordan
"We played very well, Shaq's interior attack, Karl and Payton's mid-range, Wally's and Knick's three-pointers were all excellent, we played our own offense, we did our job well, of course Kobe Bryant's defense was also very good, in fact, this game was our best game of the season, we didn't make any mistakes, so this game proved that we can do anything if we want to, I think if we can execute like this every game in the future, there will be no team in the league that beats us, we will be the strongest. ”
Phil Jackson was very excited at this time, the Lakers' head coach was always smiling at the post-game press conference broadcast nationally after the game, and in fact, he really didn't have any reason to be unhappy about this game, whether it was the 115-92 win over the Boston Celtics in this game or the Lakers player's performance in this game was blameless, at least in Phil Jackson's mind, this was their most perfect game of the season, of course, As for the sentence behind the Lakers head coach at this time, it is a bit of a provocation in front of Zhuang Fei.
But even if everyone knows that he is provoking, no one will come out to refute it, Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics are the losers of this game, in the NBA, as the losing side, there is not much right to speak, Zhuang Fei did not want to refute Phil Jackson's meaning after his defeat, as for other media. In addition to the local media in Boston, most of the other media were originally more optimistic about the Lakers, in this case, the game between Phil Jackson and the Lakers was to save their face, so even if Phil Jackson said it was arrogant, these people would not stand on the opposite side of Phil Jackson, and they might even add fuel to the fire.
Of course. At this time, whether Phil Jackson is arrogant or excited or other emotions, they can have this capital for the winner of this game, so at this time, Zhuang Fei has been silent since he entered the post-game press conference. Even the post-game statement at the beginning of the press conference, the head coach of the Boston Celtics ended with just one sentence, and seemed to have completely handed over the microphone to the head coach of the Lakers next to him, of course, Zhuang Fei didn't want to argue with Phil Jackson at this time, he knew very well that there was no need to argue if the game was not won, and in fact, the Lakers' performance in this game was indeed above the Celtics. It's just that for Zhuang Fei, even if he wants to be silent, no one will give him this opportunity.
"I agree with Mr. Phil Jackson. The Lakers' performance in this game was even more perfect. Kobe Bryant has always made Tracy very uncomfortable, he is the best player for the Lakers, he disrupted our rhythm at the beginning of this game, which is also the most crucial point of this game, we were disrupted by the Lakers from the beginning, and we have not adjusted since then, of course, this game Kobe Bryant is not only good on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. But for us, he didn't shoot many times in this game, I think this is our luck, otherwise we would have lost more, he is one of the strongest players in the league at the moment, and this Lakers is also the strongest team in the league at the moment, they will be the biggest championship favorites this year" seems to feel that he still has something to say, Zhuang Fei almost when he was asked by reporters about his views on this game, he also added with a smile after saying the previous paragraph: "This game may prove, If the Lakers can't win the championship this year, then it's the team's failure, and no one in the league can stop them, maybe if they lose one game in the future, it's a failure, and their goal should be to win all the next games."
Phil Jackson was very surprised, because in his impression this is the first time Zhuang Fei has said this about his team in these years, of course he now knows what Zhuang Fei means by these words, this is clearly wanting to kill the Lakers, this game is of great significance, everyone knows that this game is a game to determine the strength of the Lakers and the defending champion this year, so this game is not only the attention of the United States, even the media around the world are staring at this game, and at this time, as long as anyone can win this game, Then there is no doubt that it will become the biggest favorite in the league, the absolute championship favorite, just like what Phil Jackson said before, although those words are disgusting Zhuang Fei, they will be true, but what Phil Jackson didn't expect was that Zhuang Fei completely ignored his belittling and disgusting words, but began to tout the Lakers.
This is also the same accident as all the reporters present and Phil Jackson, in their minds, the script is not written like this, but unlike Phil Jackson, they don't care what Zhuang Fei's motives are, what they want to see is that Zhuang Fei is soft, in the past confrontations between these reporters and Zhuang Fei, basically the teams supported by these reporters and Zhuang Fei will basically die miserably, and they themselves will be suppressed by Zhuang Fei, and now, the Lakers are very competitive, Zhuang Fei also made them unexpectedly softened, in this case, almost all of these reporters were crazy, all kinds of questions were thrown at Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei seemed to be a little afraid that things were not big enough.
"That's right, in my opinion, the star of the Lakers is naturally Kobe Bryant, he is the only one who reminds me of Jordan, Carter can't compare with him, he may not be inferior to Jordan of the same age, Jordan won the regular season MVP when he was 24 years old, I think Kobe Bryant will accomplish such a feat this season"
"yes, I don't think Gary is a threat to us with the ball, he played the worst game of all the Lakers' players, of course, there's no denying that he's one of the greatest point guards in league history, but that's when he should try to trust his teammates, Kobe Bryant will be more of a threat, I think Phil Jackson should think about our suggestion that this would be the way to make the Lakers stronger"
"Shaq's interior offense is very good, especially when he has a partner like Malone in the middle distance, his offensive threat is greater, and the arc between him and Malone makes our interior a little helpless, but I think Yao Ming and Jermaine will change in the next game, especially Jermaine, he is not in shape in this game, I think the Lakers should also change, after all, although Shaq and Malone are strong, but the two of them are older after all, maybe they should try to better assist Kobe, This would be a better choice for the Lakers, after all, the Lakers' boss should already be Kobe Bryant."
Zhuang Fei said very excited, the sincerity on his face made Phil Jackson on the side feel that this is the Chinese sincerely praising his team, and even at this time the reporters off the court think so, because although Coach Z and Phil Jackson have a bad relationship, but everyone knows that the Chinese actually do not have too many grievances with the Lakers, everyone knows that the Chinese's favorite city is Los Angeles, and the most admired NBA player is Kobe, And one of his best friends is the former Lakers godfather Jerry West, or as this Chinese said, he may really be a Lakers fan, or maybe he really thinks that this Laker is already a king division, maybe at this time the words of Coach Z are indeed from the heart, at least these reporters off the court, especially those reporters who have never seen Zhuang Fei so touted a team, really believe these words.
It's just that at this time, I saw Zhuang Fei, who had been interacting with reporters, but the Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, who was watching from the side, felt sick in his heart, Zhuang Fei's words were too disgusting, maybe at this time, the Lakers head coach would understand that hitting a person would make a person disgusting, and touting a person to a certain extent would also be the same, Phil Jackson certainly wouldn't believe Zhuang Fei's nonsense like these reporters, the Lakers' victory in this game was not because Kobe Bryant's offense played well, He wouldn't think that the boss of his team was really the young guard who had just shaved his head, but when he wanted to refute Zhuang Fei, he found that the reporters on the scene ignored him completely, and when Zhuang Fei turned on this mode of knowing everything, no one in the world could snatch the focus from him, at this time, Phil Jackson's heart was completely devoid of the excitement just now, and he was now able to think of the next day's public opinion
Zhuang Fei's speech after the game was very influential, and what Zhuang Fei said at the press conference was just like what Phil Jackson thought in his heart, almost disgusting, such a boast made people wonder if he was Coach Z, and although Phil Jackson didn't like Zhuang Fei's words very much, but in fact, the next day, public opinion in the United States and even the world was tilting in the direction that Zhuang Fei wanted, and for Zhuang Fei, since the Lakers formed F6, Zhuang Fei has been avoiding the comparison with the Lakers, This time he is really ready to completely cut off the comparison with the Lakers, after this time, it is estimated that there are not too many people who will be idle and have nothing to do to let the Celtics continue to be shot, Zhuang Fei has always been an extremely contradictory person, he will be very high-profile when he has absolute strength, just like when Wake Forest and Timberwolves, when his team did not have such absolute strength, he was very low-key.
It's just that for Zhuang Fei, this also brought him a certain amount of trouble, the day after the game, the local Boston Global Daily criticized Zhuang Fei's flattery, the New York Times sub-media and the Boston Red Sox cooperation of the Boston local media fired at Zhuang Fei again, but for Zhuang Fei and Celtics fans, such trouble is just a little bit, after all, at this time, almost all of Boston knows that this media does not deal with the Celtics because of the Boston Red Sox owner, and the relationship between the Celtics owner and the Boston Red Sox owner is basically known to all Bostonians.
Of course, that's a bit of a bad thing, and the slightly better thing is that the Lakers lost their first game after the Christmas game. On December 27, the Lakers suffered a heavy defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers, while the Celtics defeated the Suns on the road. (To be continued.) )
