Chapter 788: Still Winning Again

In the world of basketball, there is never one thing, this is a game of putting the basketball into the basket, in this game, if you want to win the game, you must put your basketball into other people's baskets as much as possible, let other people's basketball coaches put less into their own baskets, and if you can achieve such a goal, then you can win the game, although it is very simple to say in this regard, but it is not so easy to do.

At least in terms of winning, even in the NBA, every basketball coach has a set of theories that he believes in, some people advocate defense to win championships, some people are more in favor of offense to win championships, and some people think that only a balance of offense and defense without shortcomings is the best way to achieve the final victory, the NBA has been close to 60 years, these theories still have no answers, and may not have answers in the future.

Just like sometimes Zhuang Fei knows that his assistant Xibodu's coaching philosophy is different from his own, but Zhuang Fei will not ask him to correct the reason, basketball, there is no right or wrong, any way to win is not wrong, so there is no such thing as who is noble and who is lowly or who can be better.

And in fact, in this game Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson are also like this, Zhuang Fei's basketball style has always been unwilling to be passive for his team, even when he is ahead, he is not willing to be passive for his team, which has almost become a sign of Zhuang Fei's coaching, but Phil Jackson is not like this, if the team can achieve his goal, he will not seek change, whether this is said to be conservative or passive, for the Lakers' head coach, it doesn't matter, As long as you can achieve your goal in the end, then no one will make irresponsible comments.

To put it bluntly, the two people standing on the two benches in the North Shore Gardens know too well about the NBA and know too much about basketball, at this time, winning can cover everything, including any means, and when you lose, you will also be saddled with all kinds of exploits imposed on you, if you lose because of bad defense, there will definitely be people who swear to tell you that defense can win the championship, and when you lose because of bad offense, the same people will tell you that basketball is a sport that is more than scoring, If you lose because you're conservative, there will be a lot of people who accuse you of not being aggressive and change-oriented. This kind of thing has happened too much in the NBA, and it will continue to happen.

So for any coach, they need to be prepared to take all the responsibility for their actions in advance, whether it is to win or to lose, and it is clear that in this game, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is so prepared, because at this time his team is slowly losing control. As he slowly detached from his predetermined vision, the Lakers head coach didn't have much other emotion on his face, still calmly watching everything that was happening on the court, looking even calmer than in the previous game.

Obviously, it would be difficult for him to surprise any situation on the pitch today, and for a coach of his calibre, he certainly knows what the outcome of his selection will be. Especially in the second half, he chose to remain conservative and he was ready for that.

It's just that for Phil Jackson, he can have such an expectation, but for the Lakers players, they are not fully prepared for this, and no Lakers player or coach management is willing to lose this game, even if Phil Jackson is fully mentally prepared.

In this case, after the start of the second half. After the Boston Celtics players regained their touch, and after the Celtics slowly pulled the score away, these Lakers players were actually in chaos, and for the players, they were the most direct players on the court. They are the ones who are the most direct followers of the manager's tactics, they know better than anyone that the coach's tactics are working, and they are more sensitive than anyone else to the outcome of the game, when the coach's pre-match strategy is not useful. If the coach has no possibility of change, or if the coach can't find a way to change, then they themselves have an instinct to seek change.

This is the ability of players to self-regulate on the field. If the adjustment is good, this team will change the status quo, if the adjustment is not good, then the team will be chaotic, and in fact, in the Boston Celtics oppressive, now the Lakers are an extremely chaotic scene, after the end of the third quarter, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point difference, the Lakers began to mess up, even if Phil Jackson called a timeout at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but it did not have much effect.

In fact, when the Lakers continued to fail to find a unified play defense after the timeout, everyone knew that Phil Jackson basically had no tricks for this game, and in fact, from the beginning of the game, he was ready to go black on one road, but he hit the strong halfway through this road.

"It's a shameful loss, this kind of losing defense is too wretched, and it's too hard to accept, the Celtics almost didn't give the Lakers even a chance to turn the tables, it has nothing to do with the players, when they have 100 points and can only play half or sixty percent in the end, this needs to look at the coach, in fact, this game Phil Jackson was wrong at the beginning, maybe I'm not the time to criticize him now, maybe someone will say that I'm falling into the well and being an afterthought, of course, I don't deny this, If Phil Jackson's strategy can win at the end of the game, then I won't say anything, winning is everything, because what I'm talking about is for the purpose of winning, but, even so, I still have to say, I really don't like this guy, and I don't like it from the bottom of my heart, no matter if this guy wins the finals this year, I won't change my mind."

Magic Johnson said something a little surprising in front of the TV with a serious face, you know, now is the time of live broadcast in the United States and even the world, which is definitely not so easy for Magic who has always appeared to be gentle and elegant to say such things, and in fact, Magic Johnson is really not a little biased like Larry Bird. Rooligans' character, in this case, even his old friend and old rival Larry Bird was surprised, obviously, he didn't think that his good friend would be angry like this by the Lakers head coach on the sidelines, maybe for him, a Celtics supporter. He really can't feel the wrath of a Lakers supporter.

"Well, cough, this game is not over for the Lakers, there is still game time, and the difference of more than 10 points is not without a chance to chase it back, this team has such strength" At this time, Larry Bird did not fall into the ground, and the two were extremely good friends. Naturally, he knows when to change his vindictiveness and what kind of words to say, and this is indeed not the time to be vindictive, but no matter what Larry Bird says on the side, the magician's face is not very good-looking.

This year, for all Lakers supporters, is the best time for them to see their team regain the championship, this team has not won the championship for 16 years, although it is not as good as the Celtics' 17 years without a championship, but this team is also almost 17 years without a championship. If it still fails this year, then the team will be as championship-free as the Celtics for 17 years, which is definitely something that the Magic or other Lakers supporters don't want to see.

In fact, whether it is the Celtics or the Lakers, the two most successful and wealthy teams in the NBA are victims of the 84 era led by Jordan and the Wake Forest era led by Zhuang Fei. The championship in the past 10 years has been rounded by these two major groups, and the Celtics have completed a gorgeous turn because of the arrival of Zhuang Fei, in this case, if the Lakers have no way to win the championship again this year. Based on the current problems within the team, there is little hope for the next few years, and the Magic is not some fans. He wouldn't believe what Phil Jackson said about the Lakers being the greatest and most united collective. In this case, the Lakers' all-time No. 1 legend is understandably emotional. The farther he thinks, the more worried he becomes about this team.

Of course, for Larry Bird, he is also more embarrassing, although he has been saying that the Lakers may still have a chance, but as the fourth quarter of the game gradually ends, the Celtics Lakers' point difference is getting bigger and bigger, in this case, when there are only 3 minutes left in the game, the Boston Celtics made another substitution adjustment, and the game also entered garbage time like the previous game.

Of course, the score at this time is also 94-78, this time the Lakers are worse than the previous game, at least they scored 100 points at the end of the last game, and this game, when the team from the first three quarters of the persistent blocking offense to the fourth quarter back to the single mode of each player, almost the same as the previous game fell one by one, the last game this team was the front single back blocking, but for the Lakers, these two things can be said that the Lakers' most conventional and best offense did not play, And this team also did not show its absolute superiority in strength in front of the Celtics, maybe this is what scares all Lakers supporters, in the past, they would not be alarmed when they fell behind at any time, because they have an absolute advantage in strength, but now? It's hard, it's really hard.

"Tracy, well done"

"Da Yao, well done"

When the Boston Celtics started all the starters were replaced by Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei also personally gave these five people a hug on the sidelines, for this game, his arrangement is one thing, and the execution of these players is another, especially in the first half of the game, the miserable shooting rate of these players also made these people under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, in the third quarter, these people regained their touch, and in fact, it was also a three-point battle solved by Maddie in front of Kobe Bryant.

Although these Celtics players are slightly flawed in this game, their performance is exciting enough, after all, they can beat the Lakers by 15 points, which is not an easy thing, even if Zhuang Fei has choked the Lakers' veins before the game, such a victory is also rare, in this case, compared with the joy on the Boston Celtics' side, the Lakers' side is much more embarrassed, at this time, Phil Jackson also did not replace his starters like in the last game, Or the five starters who were replaced by Fan Maniac again with only 5 minutes left in the game, the five Lakers on the court are also the five people that Phil Jackson thinks are the most reasonable and strongest offense.

It's just obvious that at such a time, it's not so simple to get it back in front of Zhuang Fei, although in the last game Fan Maniac hit three three-pointers in a row at the last moment, but in this game, he didn't have such a good feeling, in fact, when the game ended, the score on the court was 98-86, and the Boston Celtics beat the Lakers again by 12 points, and this game also turned the big score of the two sides into 2-0, and this may be Phil Jackson's bottom line, Phil Jackson said after the last game that unless the score came to 3-0, he and his team would not be the same, but I don't know if it will be taken seriously at this time, so at the end of the game, Zhuang Fei also looked at the Lakers bench on the side with a smile, but what made Zhuang Fei a little disappointed was that Phil Jackson did not have too many expressions.

"The Lakers have to adjust from now on, this team is now too dependent on their individual ability, their individual ability is very strong, so strong that the Lakers can win a lot of games even if they don't play too many quality cooperation throughout the season, or they can win most games, but now, their model is not good, the team's two most conventional weapons, single and blocking are completely useless to the Celtics, the Celtics' defense is historic, their defensive system is very mature, In this case, the Lakers have to come up with more cooperation, although this is a bit difficult for the Lakers who haven't played much in a season, but they still need to do it in order to win, of course, the Celtics from these two games, their preparation and targeting have been excellent, and this is the result they deserve."

"Also, I would say that everybody is underestimating the Celtics again, and this team is not much worse than the Lakers."

When the Magic finished the final game of their game, it is estimated that many people on the scene or in front of the TV will frown, which is the worst outcome for them, including David Stern, the president of the league, who has been in the stands. (To be continued.) )
