Basketball is a game that emphasizes self very much, and in fact, basketball is a sport that emphasizes self very much, even Zhuang Fei has always highly respected team basketball is also a team based on the player's true self, in this case, a superhero or super player in a team can imagine the impact of the team, which can be said to be the absolute cornerstone of a team.

In any NBA team, every team's players will want their team to have a trustworthy superhero, because such players can solve a lot of things for them, such as the New York Knicks, before O'Neal came, several first-class or second-rate stars of this team fought for power or control of the team.

And after O'Neal came, they were all united, for example, before O'Neal came, the New York Knicks' style of play was extremely simple, everyone attacked with the ball, and the players didn't care about so many other things, and there was no primary and secondary division between the players, and after O'Neal came, they had a primary and secondary division, so to speak, the role of this big man in New York is not just the 20, 30 or 40 points he scored on the court, For most of the players like the New York Knicks, who are basically good at even playing in the playoffs, this year's Finals are all brought to them by O'Neal, who is their pillar.

And now, this pillar has collapsed with a bang, under the extremely shocked and incredulous gaze of these New York Knicks players, and the impact of this or the blow to this team can be imagined.

For these New York players, they are not afraid of losing to the Lakers every game. Or a big defeat to the Lakers. Because they will always have the belief to win. O'Neill was able to bring them these beliefs before, and O'Neill did bring them victory, and they were willing to believe that as long as they followed the big shark, they would always be able to usher in light and victory, but now, I'm afraid this idea is not quite right.

How can a player who doubts even his own ability bring comfort and support to those around him? It's an impossible thing to do, in this case. When all the New York Knicks players watched their team boss leave the court in despair after the game, did not greet them, and did not pay attention to the head coach of the team on the side, Phil Jackson, but walked to the players' tunnel alone, these New York Knicks players were a little disappointed in their hearts, and they were also a little disappointed in their eyes, I am afraid they themselves did not think that the boss of their team was the first one to collapse in the team, and this player who should have always supported their belief in victory. Now the first one is going to fail.

"Bastard"

Of course, no one will blame O'Neill at this time. For them, for O'Neal, they can only be full of disappointment and loss, and they are also extremely grateful, because without O'Neal they wouldn't have come here, but even so, these New York Knicks players are still extremely aggrieved, they really shouldn't blame O'Neal, because they also know O'Neal's grievances with Zhuang Fei over the years, if they encounter such a situation, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago, O'Neal can hold on to the present, Before this season, he can resolutely refuse Zhuang Fei's overtures and insist on fighting Zhuang Fei to the end, such courage is already stronger than most players, at least in the eyes of these people, O'Neal is greater than the Webber who worked hard under Zhuang Fei, Weber is also a mortal enemy with Zhuang Fei, but now he is willing to rejoice under Zhuang Fei, in this case, although these New York Knicks players will not blame O'Neal but will definitely vent all their anger on Zhuang Fei.

It's just that even if they vent their anger on Zhuang Fei, when they think that they still have no way to take Zhuang Fei, all these people are left is anger and helplessness, this feeling of having the intention to kill the enemy but not being able to return to the sky is indeed to make these New York Knicks players collapse in the same way, especially after this game, when they see Zhuang Fei and the Lakers players celebrating together, as if they have won the championship, these New York Knicks players are not angry, but even if they are angry, In the end, he could only stare at Zhuang Fei fiercely, and then left the Staples Arena lonely.

And this is NBA basketball, where the losers can only accept the madness and excitement of the winners, unless they can also be the winners.

Of course, as the winner of this game, or the Lakers who are about to become the winner of this series, they will not care about the feelings of the New York Knicks players or coaches at this time, for them, this game is likely to be the last home game of the season, and these Los Angeles Lakers fans are naturally very aware of this, the Lakers won the New York Knicks by almost 60 points in two games, in this case, the New York Knicks want to return to the home court to win two games in a row and finally drag the game back to Los Angeles? It's basically impossible for such a thing to happen, and in this case, this game is important for these Lakers fans, who are almost celebrating the championship in advance.

However, for Zhuang Fei, he doesn't have too many thoughts about the fans celebrating the championship in advance, after all, he himself asked the team to build the championship ring in advance, and he did this kind of thing himself, so naturally it will not prevent others from doing it, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei is not arrogant enough to directly ignore the New York Knicks at this time.

This team does have some problems now, but this is still a team that has reached the Finals, although Zhuang Fei has always said that they pose a far less threat to the Lakers than the Spurs, but it does not mean that they cannot pose a threat to the Lakers, and the next game is an away game, on the road, or in the Finals, basically anything can happen. So even now, the Lakers are indeed not to the point where they can ignore the New York Knicks, and in fact, in Zhuang Fei's view, whether it is the head coach of the New York Knicks or the players of the New York Knicks, they have not given up this series, and they are still waiting for the Lakers to make a mistake and then bite the Lakers.

So in the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson has also been saying that his team is not losing now. It's just two of the best-of-seven games. And they also have three consecutive home games. As long as they win all of their games at home, they can still beat the Lakers, and of course, for Phil Jackson, he expects his team to return to the home court to win three games in a row, but no one will believe in such a fantasy.

Even Zhuang Fei on the side smiled slightly after hearing Phil Jackson's oath, and the media from all over the United States and even the world at the scene were not interested in whether this team would be able to fight back against the Lakers or overtake the Lakers after returning to their home court. At this point in the game, if they still believe in such words, and are still interested in such words, then they are fools, and now these people are more concerned about O'Neal's current situation.

In this case, almost all the questions in the post-game press conference revolve around O'Neal, of course, these questions around O'Neal will naturally not be some good or praise questions, basically some extremely difficult or questioning or even reproach-type questions, O'Neal's market play in these two games is the main reason for the defeat of the New York Knicks in these two games, although these people know it. Even if O'Neal doesn't play properly, the Lakers can beat the New York Knicks. But it will definitely not be so easy, and in such a situation, it is understandable that these media are firing at O'Neal, the league's No. 1 center.

It's just that understanding is understanding, how could Phil Jackson, who was extremely depressed because of O'Neal's affairs now, give these people a good look, after choosing to remain silent in the face of these problems, the head coach of the New York Knicks directly said a lot of words like a madness at the end, and then left angrily after speaking.

It was also the most gaffe of the New York Knicks head coach since the series began, but it's still understandable that no one else will be able to remain calm and gentlemanly when they are about to fall off a cliff.

It's just that for Zhuang Fei, it is also a very good thing to be able to see his old opponent again.

Of course, after Phil Jackson left, these reporters naturally would not let Zhuang Fei go, but compared to Phil Jackson, Zhuang Fei's current situation is much better, after all, he is the winner, and these people can't find Zhuang Fei's fault at this time, but what makes Zhuang Fei a little speechless is that the questions these guys ask Zhuang Fei are still all around O'Neal, which can also be seen that in the next few days, in the public opinion of the United States and even the world, O'Neill may be very sad.

"Shaq is a very good player, and Kobe Bryant is a very good player, and for you, you and you are keen to know that the two of you will be better when you sleep together, but for us coaches, it's not a good judgment, because we are all subjective, like Mr. Phil Jackson He would think O'Neal is the best player in the league, better than anybody, but for me I would say Kobe is the best player in the league, better than anybody, and that's my answer."

"Shaq has been out of the ordinary, has it had anything to do with my latest defensive strategy? Of course it matters" Zhuang Fei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead a little helplessly and continued: "Our O'Neal has created a shackle, he has no way to untie this shackle now, so he is trapped now, but I have always known that he still has a way to untie the shackles, in this case I don't agree with what you say that he is old, he is still the first center in the league, and he may still be in the next few years"

Of course, at this time, Zhuang Fei seems to be defending O'Neal, but for the New York Knicks and O'Neal himself, I am afraid that the last thing they want to see is Zhuang Fei's 'fake' maintenance, and they are more willing to see Zhuang Fei's angry scolding of O'Neal, because this can prove O'Neal's strength, and now Zhuang Fei is like giving something to a defeated subordinate.

"Mr. Zhuang, now facing such a New York Knicks, do you think the Lakers can win more in the next game?"

After Zhuang Fei was bombarded with questions about O'Neill for a long time, it was finally at the end of the press conference that these reporters' questions about O'Neill ended, which was a relief for Zhuang Fei.

"I don't know if we're going to win more against the New York Knicks, but what I do know is that we're going to keep working towards a sweep of the New York Knicks. I said it from the beginning. We don't like the feeling of losing. If we could, we would always go for the win and then keep winning."

This is Zhuang Fei's outlook for the final games of this series, and for these reporters, Zhuang Fei's answer is in line with their expectations, and Zhuang Fei also left the press conference after returning to the last question.

It's just that although Phil Jackson was defending O'Neal when he left, and Zhuang Fei had been defending O'Neal before leaving, there was no doubt that the day after the game ended. The current No. 1 center is still tragically the target of public criticism.

"This is the most rubbish O'Neal I've ever seen, he shouldn't just have that ability, he's the No. 1 center in the league, but from both games, Webber is more like the No. 1 center than him, I don't have any disrespect for Weber, Chris surprised us with the toughness of this series, he was able to get back up again after falling to the ground again and again, no one would blame him for such a player, compared to Chris in this regard. Shaq does like shit, and such a player deserves to be called the league's No. 1 center? It's one of the funniest jokes in NBA history. In fact, it turns out that he will never be a championship team leader, and he should retire next season if he still has the self-knowledge, otherwise the gap between him and Kobe Bryant will get farther and farther, and now he and Phil Jackson are like two clowns."

This is the Los Angeles Times' game review on the second day of the game, most of the comments are blaming O'Neal and partly blaming Phil Jackson, it is obvious that this Los Angeles media seems to have a grudge against O'Neal or Phil Jackson before, otherwise it would not be so 'vicious' to judge O'Neal, the former Lakers boss, and Phil Jackson, the former Lakers head coach.

"Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, their performance this year is simply unstoppable, from now on I support many people say that this team is the strongest team in history, compared to the previous Bulls they are more feared by the enemy, of course, I do not deny that the Bulls are strong, if I admit that the current Lakers are the first in history, then I will definitely say that the previous Bulls are the second in history, but for the current Lakers, they are not challenging to meet O'Neal and the New York Knicks in the Finals, New York didn't let people see what their full strength was like from start to finish, and O'Neill disappointed everyone."

This is the Chicago Tribune's commentary on the game, which is not as vicious as the Los Angeles Times, but is undoubtedly equally dismissive of O'Neal and the New York Knicks' weakness.

"This is the only player left of the four centers that year, O'Neal did not support the world of the center, but in O'Neal's domination of the NBA center, the NBA lost the glory of the center, he is like a king of the last generation, incompetent and helpless, now is no longer his time, congratulations to Los Angeles, they made a very correct decision last year, the great Kobe Bryant does not need to surrender to the rotten shark, his counterattack from now on is not treachery, but extremely correct" Here are some of USA Today's comments on the game.

If the attitude of an absolutely neutral media like the Chicago Tribune towards O'Neal is relatively relaxed, and the Los Angeles media is a little vicious towards O'Neal, then the rest of the wall-riding media, that is, the mainstream media, have a very consistent view of O'Neal, which is basically exactly the same attitude as Today's United States, basically all of which lifted Kobe, who scored a total of 80 points in two games, to the sky, and stomped on the ground O'Neal, who played abnormally in two games.

At this time, in the face of the storm of criticism and accusations against O'Neill in the United States and the world, even the media in New York were all silent at this time, including the New York Times, no media made any defense for O'Neill, and it was obvious that they had no intention or power to help O'Neill's current situation.

"It's really crazy, that proud big fat man should be even more broken now"

In the head coach's office of the Los Angeles Lakers, Zhuang Fei took the newspaper in his hand and said with some emotion, in fact, Zhuang Fei had already thought of such a situation after the last game, the reality of the American media is extremely terrible, and for O'Neal, who is extremely good-looking, such a national crusade is definitely the first time in his life.

Such feelings are no more humiliating for him than when he was still in college Duncan, and in this situation, the center of the New York Knicks will either stand up in humiliation and prove to everyone that he is strong, or, as many media outlets say, cowardly end his own era.

"Shaq, I don't know what you're going to do?" When thinking of this, Zhuang Fei was also smiling at this time, looking forward to what choice O'Neill would make in the next game and stand up bravely? Or is it a cowardly evasion? It's all possible, and the answer to that question will only be known on June 14 when the two teams play Game 3 of the finals. (To be continued......)
