When the Lakers lost badly in the last game at North Shore Garden, the whole United States was waiting for this team to be able to get back to 10% in North Shore Garden, which is the wish of many people, including the head coach of the Lakers, the players of the Lakers or the management of the Lakers, although in the press conference after the last game, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson did not seem to care whether the team lost the first game, and even said that the team has the best hope of winning as long as it is not 0-3 behind, which is also very clear.

But obviously, for him, that is just a smokescreen, no one will not care about the victory or defeat of the finals, no matter who is the case, including Zhuang Fei, if possible, he doesn't want to lose even one game in the finals, of course, this is just a wish, so for Phil Jackson, if he really doesn't care about the outcome of this game but only cares about the victory or defeat of this series, then this game is not the same tactics as the fourth quarter of the last game, but a complete escape from the Celtic initiative.

Playing a completely different strategy or tactic, although there will be an accident in such a new way, this game is also very likely to not have a good result, after all, the preparation time is limited, but there is no doubt that as long as you get rid of the Celtics' first opportunity, this team will be easier in the next game, but it is obvious that he is not willing to give up this game, so he chose to be more conservative in Zhuang Fei, in the rhythm of the Boston Celtics to continue the game, he is betting that his team can hold on to the end of this game, It would be safer to beat the Boston Celtics with his team's strong individual ability, but if he chooses to be conservative and can't win this game, then he will face more difficulties next, so this game is definitely not inconsequential for Phil Jackson, and it can even be said that it is a matter of life and death.

In fact, after the start of this game, the development of the game was indeed going according to Phil Jackson's expectations, why did the Lakers lose the last game? Undoubtedly, the biggest reason is that they dug too big a hole in the first quarter, and in this case, it will be difficult for them to chase down the Boston Celtics, who in fact have been the least number of rebounds in the league. As long as this team has a 10-point advantage, it is basically impossible to chase it back.

At this point, Phil Jackson and the Lakers both underestimated the Celtics, but in this game, at least in the opening stage, the Lakers did not make the mistake of slow heat or underestimating the enemy in the last game, but completely followed Phil Jackson's plan, and the team even tied with the Boston Celtics at the end of the first quarter. Even at the beginning of the second quarter, when the two teams competed for the bench lineup, the Lakers' bench led by Fan Maniac and Robert Hawley was not inferior to the Celtics' second team led by James Posey and Kirilenko.

In fact, in terms of offensive stability, the Celtics second team has a better lineup, after all, the Celtics second team has more people who play, and James Posey and Kirilenko are both very stable players, but it is clear that stability is stability. But it is basically impossible to make the Boston Celtics' current bench lineup play a wave like when Arenas or Wade led it, in this case, the Boston Celtics' second team is not enough in terms of scoring explosiveness, which is also after entering the Finals, or after Wade enters the starting lineup. The Boston Celtics are declining in average points leading their opponents in the second team.

Now the Celtics' second team can guarantee that they will not lose to others, but they can never guarantee that they can beat the opponent by 5 points and 10 points, in this case, the Lakers' bench lineup depth is far worse than the Celtics. But with Van Maniac, a player similar to Arenas and Wade, the team has also rarely lost on the bench either, so from the last game. The Celtics' bench lineup, which topped the league this season, did not show absolute dominance in the regular season against the Lakers, so almost at the end of the second quarter, the two teams kept biting.

In fact, when the second quarter of this game ended, the Boston Celtics only led the Lakers by 1 point at 45-44, and this 1 point is negligible for a team of the level of the Lakers and Boston Celtics, and even the difference within 5 points is negligible.

"The Boston Celtics played well in the first half, whether it was tactical restrictions or the defense of the Lakers after the blocking, in fact, the Lakers' shooting rate in this game was lower than the previous game, or even much lower, the Lakers scored a total of 59 points in the second half of the last game, which is a rather amazing score, and the same last game Boston Celtics scored 62 points in the second half, this game is a continuation of the second half of the previous game, the Lakers did not change their strategy, But the Celtics have changed their defensive strategy, in this regard, the Celtics did take the lead to choke the Lakers' offense, they are already familiar with the Lakers' blocking and attacking in this game, so the Lakers have reduced the same time from the previous game by 15 points, which is a big score, which even shows that Phil Jackson's tactics in this game are wrong, his conservatism almost buried the Lakers' game, but what makes people a little speechless is that the Boston Celtics shot 35% in the first half of the game, It's down 20 percentage points from the same period in the last game, in fact, the Lakers don't have any defensive strategy, it's their own poor hand, in fact, in this year's playoffs, the Boston Celtics are sometimes not as consistent in their hand as last season, which is a problem for the Celtics."

At the beginning of the second half of the two teams, Magic Johnson on the North Shore Garden commentary bench was summarizing the situation of the two teams in the first half, and the strategy of the two teams in the first half was according to his pre-game prediction. Or that the process of these two teams is just too dramatic.

It turned out that Phil Jackson was a tactical failure, and the pick-and-roll offense he wanted to play was very ineffective in this game, it can be said that it was completely ineffective, but although the tactics failed, the result was successful, and he achieved the result he wanted, because they achieved their goal of biting the score at the end of the half because of the bizarre inaccuracy of the Boston Celtics offensive end, in this regard, it is really difficult for Magic Johnson to assess whether Phil Jackson's conservative strategy is right or wrong.

"It's understandable that the Celtics' hand has declined, their defensive intensity in the first half is very high, compared to the second half of the last game, in this case, the inaccuracy of the hand is also inevitable, just to see if Phil Jackson will adjust in the second half, from my point of view, he has to adjust, after all, the first half has proven that his tactics failed, he can't pin all his hopes on the feel of the Boston Celtics players, His idea of holding out until the end of the fourth quarter and using the individual abilities of his players to solve the game should change."

Larry Bird was on the Magic's side again this time, and although the two often raised the bar, there were times when they disagreed, and both men were extremely high ball quotients. In this regard, it is also the reason why they can become confidants, the relationship between the two is very similar to Zhuang Fei and Popovich in some respects, but Zhuang Fei and Popovich have never been unified, in this regard, no matter how similar Zhuang Fei and Popovich are, or they know each other, they cannot become friends.

Regardless of the obvious, when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird thought that Phil Jackson had to adjust in the second half, the Lakers head coach did not follow his vision, and in the second half of the game, the Lakers' tactical strategy has been for a long time, which also made the Magic Johnson on the commentary bench look a little ugly.

"Phil values his player's personal ability too much in this game, there is nothing wrong with the Lakers player's strong personal ability, but in the face of the Celtics, he can't just rely on his team's individual ability, if the Lakers lose this game again, he will pay the price for his conservatism" Magic Johnson said very tactfully, but Larry Bird on the side can clearly see the Magic's angry look, in fact, in his opinion, Phil Jackson is definitely not very right, Neither he nor the magician are the kind of people who let their destiny be in the hands of others.

Neither Magic nor Bird is the kind of person who gives his fate to others, and Phil Jackson has been like this since the Bull, and the two have differences on this point, so it is not surprising that Phil Jackson will make this decision, perhaps this is also the reason why Magic and Phil Jackson have never been able to drink together and prefer to be with Bird and Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei is also the kind of person who does not want his fate to look at other people's faces.

So on the bench of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei saw the Lakers on the court after the start of the second half, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile. (To be continued.) )
