Chapter 646: Dramatic Conflict
Phil Jackson's move is frankly a heart-to-heart tactic in the final analysis.
Charles Barkley had already seen it, so when Phil Jackson admitted it so frankly, he was not surprised, and Kenny Smith next to him was constantly praising Phil Jackson's high style, and he actually put out his unique tricks against the Knicks so generously, not hiding it at all, this is making the most outstanding contribution to the development of the league!!
Kenny Smith gave Phil Jackson a tall hat that he praised as if God had come down to save the NBA.
Phil Jackson certainly knew why Kenny Smith praised himself so top-notch, and there were not many people in the league who didn't know about the $3 million thing. However, Phil Jackson is not broken, after all, it feels really good to be praised! Who doesn't like to be worshipped?
Phil Jackson just likes to pretend to be a master and talk about chicken soup in his heart, but he hasn't really reached the kind of high-level realm where he doesn't like things and doesn't feel sorry for himself.
And after Kenny Smith raved about it, Charles Barkley asked his question: "What if the scorching hole you guessed wasn't the real scorching hole?" Or what if you Lakers don't push out the dashing madness in the first three quarters? ”
Charles Barkley asks a hypothetical question.
Phil Jackson smiled slightly, but did not respond. Kenny Smith on the side couldn't wait to defend Phil Jackson: "Do you think a head coach of Phil Jackson's level will do something that he is not sure of?" Whether it is him or the Lakers uniform team behind him, they are the top existence in the league, how can there be errors in the results of their careful analysis? ”
"So. Why is your meticulous analysis of the Rockets' champion always slapped in the face? "Charles Barkley hated Kenny Smith's hustle. Obviously it has nothing to do with him. But he wanted to squeeze it out, and spoke for Jackson even more for him, as if Xiao Shao had a grudge against him.
Faced with Charles Barkley's slap in the face, Kenny Smith looked a little embarrassed...... He didn't know how to answer, because from the analysis of past records, he really had never won on the chic issue, and every time he was slapped in the face, his face was numb!!
Phil Jackson sees Kenny Smith embarrassed. He smiled and calmly relieved himself: "Okay, let's end the interview, I'm a little tired!" ”
With that, Phil Jackson got up and ended the pre-game visit.
After a while, the Lakers also finished their pre-game warm-up workout, and as usual, they had to give up the venue to the Knicks to warm up.
Soon after the Lakers left the court, a gym staff brought the Knicks players to the court for warm-up practice.
Soon, Earl Johnson invited Xiao to the machine for a pre-game interview.
Xiao Xiao didn't like to give pre-match interviews to this kind of stadium. But seeing Charles Barkley waving to him over there, he had to give himself a little face. It's for him to support the scene.
So, Xiao Shi walked over, and when everything was in place, the interview officially began.
Before the T-NT trio could ask questions, Xiao reached out and grabbed Kenny Smith, who was sitting on his left, and jokingly said, "Hey, Kenny." I heard that you bought $3 million to bet that our Knicks won't win the championship, and you still dare to interview me, aren't you afraid that I will be angry? ”
Kenny Smith smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He is not afraid of Xiao Xian being angry, he is afraid of Xiao Xian's jokes, which are the most hurtful to some extent...... And it's hard to fight back when you're injured, so you can only laugh along.
"Xiao, he's not afraid of you being angry. He's been saying bad things about you, and he's been talking to Phil Jackson about how to beat you. Charles Barkley on the side said.
"Oh? What did Phil Jackson say? Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked casually.
"He said... He's found your hole, he's found that your crazy projection can only be unleashed when you're tired, so he's going to tire you out early so that you can't make it to the fourth quarter and you're physically exhausted. Charles Barkley said as he was.
"Oh, that's it!" When Xiao Sa heard Barkley's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that Phil Jackson had discovered the secret in his head, and the killing state was not a secret at all, and Xiao Sa didn't think about hiding it. So, he doesn't care!
Listening to the chic tone, it was very relaxed, and there was even a sense of relief. Kenny Smith on the side couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried about this at all?" Don't you have a little bit of a secret to be exposed and angry? ”
"Haha." When Xiao Dash heard Smith's words, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. Then, he said very easily: "I never intended to hide this matter forever, so I can't talk about being exposed." It's true that my jump shot can only be accurate when my muscles are tired, but what about that? ”
"In this way, the Lakers' tactics will be more targeted, they will be more targeted at your defense, and your physical strength will be quickly consumed!" Kenny Smith asked rhetorically, depressed, surprised by Dash's indifference, and thought Dash should at least panic...... Moreover, only in this way can it meet his psychological expectations, so that his mood can be beautiful.
"Oh. Other nights maybe they would have worked but tonight their tactics won't work, I feel energetic now and I don't get too tired even if I play basketball and then play football. So in a minute, you should see me doing push-ups desperately after the third quarter! When the time comes, I hope you guys are crazy shouting death push-ups for me on TV!! I don't expect the Staples Arena commentator to cheer me on at all, he doesn't have a tacit understanding with me, and I prefer the Madison Garden commentator. ”
The chic words were spoken quite lightly.
This kind of weightlifting makes Charles Barkley feel comfortable and anxious, and he likes this kind of leisurely walk in front of the Tarzan without changing his color.
And Kenny Smith undoubtedly hated this kind of slump very, very, very much. The chic he wants to see is a chic of frustration, collapse, and anger. Only in this way can he feel pleasure from the depths of his heart. And now. He was so anxious!!
"So, what are your chances of winning this game?" Charles Barkley asked the question very directly to Xiao Sa, and the reason why he was so direct was because he had faith in Xiao and completely believed what Xiao Xiao said.
"Fifty percent." Chick's answer was conservative: "If my teammates can maintain a good hand, then there should be a 70 percent chance of winning the game." ”
"Okay, don't bother with your pre-game warm-up. We're looking forward to the next races, come on!! Charles Barkley took the initiative to end the visit.
In fact, at this time, Kenny Smith also wanted to talk to Xiao Sa about Rihanna fans and Taylor Swift fans, and the reason why he wanted to ask these things was not anything else, but he just wanted to add some blockage to Xiao Sa so that he could not devote himself to the next game.
Barkley didn't give him this chance after all, waved at the camera, and then ran to the side to practice.
Bang bang!
As soon as the dash passed, he missed five consecutive jump shots!
The sound of striking iron is one after another, and the rhythm is quite fast.
Just as Kenny Smith saw this. The camera also captured. So, Kenny Smith couldn't help but sneer and said, "Xiao Dash dares to say that he has a seventy percent chance of winning tonight." Isn't it too much to take the Western Conference championship too seriously? ”
Kenny Smith's heart is known to passers-by.
How could Charles Barkley not know?
Immediately, he took over the conversation and said excitedly: "So, do you want to bet with me on tonight's victory or defeat alone?" ”
As soon as Charles Barkley said this, Kenny Smith died down in an instant, he had given up betting with Barkley on any issues related to chic, no matter how big the winning odds were, he didn't dare to bet, he was afraid of losing!! If I hadn't agreed to a $3 million bet with him during the regular season, where would I be so worried and heartbroken for the game now!!
Kenny Smith actually regretted it in his heart, but it was difficult to ride the tiger, so he had to go forward, after all, it was three million dollars!!
The Knicks warmed up for forty-five minutes before heading back to the locker room, where the arena staff began to do the final finishing touches on the court, and then began to open the door to fans!!
Although the Lakers failed to defend their home court in the first game, the second game was still packed, and every Lakers fan who came in came to defend the glory of the home court.
Of course, there are also many Rihanna Taylor Swift supporters, who are men and women, with great voices, dressed in uniform and waving uniform flags. Tonight they didn't come to win or lose, or even to play, they came to protest and create chaos for Xiao.
Originally, the Staples Arena was denied entry to these people, and they were not allowed to bring in these obviously offensive slogans and flags, and even the clothes they were wearing should be confiscated... Because it is printed with a dashing surrender and a huge red ××. However, then the Lakers management gave them a green lane, which allowed them to enter the court very smoothly.
Xiao Xiao obviously didn't know that these guys walked into the court, and what he didn't expect was that the Lakers sent Rihanna and Swift two front-row VIP tickets before the game, and the two sat facing each other, sitting on the left and right sides of the court, with Rihanna's position less than two meters away from the Knicks' bench.
Rihanna and Taylor Swift both accepted the Lakers' offer, much to the delight of Lakers management.
The appearance of these two people will inevitably have an impact on Xiao Xiao in their opinion, which will inevitably exceed the boos of more than 20,000 people in the audience, and their lethality is too great!!
And the reason why the Lakers are doing this is purely to block Xiao Xiao, or rather, this is their off-the-board move!!
Xiao Xiao didn't know that the Lakers had made such an arrangement before the game started, and he told his teammates very directly in the locker room: "Guys, this game is likely to decide the fate of our Finals, and the Lakers have indeed mastered a hole in me." It's true that my crazy projection can only be played out in a tired state, so... Please keep enough running and cooperating tonight. Only the ball moves. The Lakers' conspiracy will come to naught! ”
"Of course. You don't need to worry too much about me. I'm in great physical condition tonight, and even if the Lakers use a tactic that is particularly draining on my energy, I'll be able to surprise them strongly! But... Before this unexpected happens, you must get enough points, at least not let them widen the difference!! ”
Xiao kept repeating, constantly asking his teammates to hold on to the string in their hearts and be sure to score!!
Xiao rarely put pressure on his teammates, but tonight was an accident. Because this game is so important, this game will directly determine the direction of the future!
Xiao Xiao thinks the Knicks must not lose!
Under the constant emphasis of chic, the hearts of the Knicks players are constantly strengthened!
At the same time, the Lakers' side seems to be much more relaxed, the tactics have been formulated, and the next step is to put the Knicks in the cage step by step, and then take away the victory!
From top to bottom, the Lakers have a relaxed atmosphere, as if everything is under control.
In the first game, they lost to other players who were dismissive.
By the second game, they didn't seem to have turned the impression around. They still think that as long as they crack the secret of Xiao Shi, the Knicks will definitely be able to get their hands on it!!
If not, there is a time limit of 48 minutes. It is estimated that these guys have already asked the general manager Kupchak to warm the wine...... Of course, the premise is that they have to know the allusion of Wenjiu to kill Huaxiong!!
The Lakers regard themselves as Guan Erye and the Knicks as Huaxiong.
But all the 'thoughts' can only be implemented after the game is played.
Soon, players from both sides began to enter the arena. When the home team entered, the whole court roared and gave them heroic treatment, especially when Kobe Bryant entered, the entire Stamp Arena was boiling, and the MVP voices came and went, as if the tide was rising!! They don't seem to be affected by the rogue rhetoric of Xiao in the post-game press conference of the last game, and in their hearts, the MVP will always be Kobe Bryant, and they don't care if Kobe Bryant has won any MVP this season.
And when the away team played, the boos were everywhere, and they also pushed towards the Knicks players in waves like a tide.
The Knicks players have long liberated their nature under the leadership of Xiao, they are all actors now, and their mentality is very calm, the so-called eight winds do not move and are not alarmed, how can this little scene frighten them? Milicic and Nate Robinson even waved to the Lakers fans who booed them in the arena, feeling as if they were being welcomed by a tsunami on their home court.
These two don't think of themselves as outsiders to Staples Arena at all!
When the dashing finale walked out of the players' tunnel, not only the Lakers fans in the audience were booing wildly, but the supporters of Taylor Swift and Rihanna also stood up, waving the unified flag, and shouted in unison: "Dashing negative man!" Dashing negative man! Dashing negative man!! ”
The slogans are neat and uniform, and it is clear that they have been rigorously trained.
The slogan instantly mobilized more than 20,000 Lakers fans, who also shouted along, and they felt that the sentence was much more lethal than simple boos.
However, they still underestimate the psychological quality of chic.
After listening to the unanimous scolding of the audience, Xiao Sao shrugged his shoulders very easily. He may still have a little bit of inner turmoil in other accusations, but he has no psychological burden at all for this negative man's accusation, because he has never done negative behavior, on the contrary, he feels that he is too responsible, so many women, although many of them use improper means to get on themselves, but he has never given up on any of them! Each one is responsible for the end...... In Xiao Sa's opinion, such a self is not a negative man in any aspect! At most, it's an abusive species!
Therefore, Xiao Wan was completely undisturbed and walked leisurely.
When he was about to walk to the bench, suddenly a beautiful shadow appeared on the sidelines, blocking his way.
The camera on the scene has been capturing Xiao, and the appearance of this figure was instantly projected on the big screen, making the 'negative man' who spoke in unison also pause for a moment.
Everyone was wondering who this man was.
Soon, Xiao Sao saw her face clearly.
The camera that followed Xiao Xiao also captured her face.
As a result, more than 20,000 fans at the scene also saw who she was.
So, there was an uproar, and after the uproar, there was a lot of anticipation.
Everyone is looking forward to the next picture, will Taylor Swift give Xiao a resounding slap in the face?
A lot of people are looking forward to it!!
