"That idiot Sterling now knows whose world it is, right, and the Clippers dare to compare with the Lakers now, and they deserve it?"

"No, I don't think Sterling will give up, this time he only lost by 52 points, I think he will definitely want to win back next time, I really want to see him provoke Coach Z and the Lakers again, I wonder if they will lose more next time?"

"Haha, yes, I didn't find a Clippers fan at Staples Arena yesterday, and at the end of the game, everyone was shouting for another one, that feeling was so funny."

"Hehe, I don't think we will have Clippers fans in our games with the Clippers in the future"

On December 8, the second derby of the year in Los Angeles, the result of the derby was obvious, the Clippers who wanted to replace the Lakers in Los Angeles did not play with the momentum that their owner shouted, and they lost by more than 50 points in the "home" in the cheers of the visiting fans, which was a very heavy blow to this team that is striving for the playoffs this season.

Of course, not many people will pay attention to this team that has been hit hard in Los Angeles, fans will not pay attention, and the media will not pay attention, and now everyone's focus is not on this team, but all on the Lakers head coach Zhuang Fei in this game and Kobe Bryant, who scored 44 points in the third quarter of the game. Especially at the press conference after this game, Zhuang Fei responded to Phil Jackson's poisonous cherry about Kobe Bryant for the first time, which caused an uproar.

"Kobe Bryant was a great game, I know what you're trying to say, and I can tell you all very clearly. I've never regretted the way I've done with him this season. Like a lot of people say. Isn't he taking too many shots, no, it's not, in fact he didn't fulfill my request, and I know you want to know what I think about Phil Jackson's assessment of Kobe Bryant as a poisonous cherry, it's actually quite simple."

"I'll admit that Kobe Bryant is an extremely bright, mouth-watering cherry, and Phil is right. It is difficult for every coach to see such a player for the first time, but as for whether this cherry is poisonous or not, I think Mr. Jackson should be his own problem, in fact, Kobe is not poisonous, obviously, Mr. Jackson himself does not use Kobe well, similarly, I also agree with what he said Kobe is not Jordan, in my opinion, it is true, Kobe is Kobe. Jordan is Jordan, but I think. I'm afraid that Phil didn't even use Jordan completely, and I always thought that Jordan still had more energy that hadn't been developed. ”

"Why did you let Kobe Bryant play three quarters today? It's actually very simple, I want to tell everybody that even if Kobe doesn't play in the fourth quarter, I think he can average more than 40 points per game when he plays the Christmas game, and I will leave Kobe's fourth quarter to the New York Knicks and Mr. Phil Jackson, and hopefully he can let Kobe continue to play in the fourth quarter in that game, because he said that after the Lakers led by 30 points, Kobe Bryant was still on the court in the fourth quarter, and I hope that Mr. Phil Jackson is ready in that game, and don't let us lead by 30 points in the first three quarters."

This is the first time this season that Zhuang Fei has attacked the provocation of a certain opponent in the post-game press conference, and it is in such a fierce way that in recent times, because of the approach of the Christmas war, almost many people are subconsciously paying attention to the two protagonist teams of this year's Christmas war, so the news about the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers has become bigger and bigger during this period.

This is both controlled by the league and spontaneously guided by the media, but in many cases the head coach of the Lakers generally does not respond to such news, but this time it erupted after the game with the Clippers, it can be said that even the media who attended the post-game press conference after this game were somewhat unexpected, and he rarely performed like this throughout the Chinese's career.

But surprise is surprise, and after surprise, these media are extremely excited, after all, this is the sales of newspapers.

"Z even said that Phil Jackson is still far from himself, he has not been able to use Kobe Bryant, and he has not been able to use Jordan well"

"The Lakers prepare for the Christmas game to end the game in just three quarters, Phil Jackson encounters an angry Coach Z, and the future is uncertain"

"Arrogant Chinese, arrogant game goals, he will pay for his hubris, he will always be a clown, even if he has won 4 NBA titles, and Phil Jackson has always been a gentleman"

"Kobe Bryant only played 3 quarters per game before playing the New York Knicks, challenging to average 40 points per game? He's averaging 39.2 points per game so far, and with seven games to go before the Christmas game, it's not an easy goal to achieve."

"With an 18-game winning streak, the Los Angeles Lakers are on a 20-game winning streak of the season, and this team can continue to win until December 25, and Coach Z will break Phil Jackson's second-longest team winning streak held by the Los Angeles Lakers."

After the words after the game between Zhuang Fei and the Clippers came out, the whole United States fell into an extremely instantaneous madness, because after everyone, Coach Z really declared war on Phil Jackson, who had been provoking the Lakers before, although Zhuang Fei is now considered the best head coach in the league, but if it comes to who is the second best, although many people will think that it is Pat Riley, who just won the Olympic championship this year, but Phil Jackson will definitely be one of the candidates, In this case, when you add the contradictions of some players in the New York Knicks and the Lakers, it becomes interesting.

It's just that many people are a little surprised that after being declared war by Zhuang Fei, the head coach of the New York Knicks, Phil Jackson, became quiet at this time, and actually did not respond to Zhuang Fei's provocative words anymore, and seemed to have been dormant and ready to give Zhuang Fei a bigger attack. Because no one would think that Phil Jackson would take Zhuang Fei's words as wind in his ears, the contradiction between the two is irreconcilable at all.

And in fact, on December 9, the head coach's office of the New York Knicks, the head coach of the New York Knicks did not look very good at this time, and it is not a happy thing for any successful head coach to be doubted about his achievements. To know. He considered himself the greatest achievement of his life to be Jordan, and all of his championships were won under him. At this time, Zhuang Fei directly said that he did not use Jordan well, which was the biggest achievement of his career.

Of course, for Phil Jackson, his previous series of provocations were originally to arrest Zhuang Fei, who had been hiding, and let the Lakers head coach who had been trying to be in the shadows give him directly; got it to the light, so no matter how Zhuang Fei attacked him, it was his victory, because Zhuang Fei really couldn't help jumping out. In this case, his goal has also been achieved, and since he has achieved his goal, there is no need to entangle with Zhuang Fei anymore.

It's just that at this time, the owner of the New York Knicks, who doesn't know much about Phil Jackson's strategy, thinks that the head coach of his team is that you are angry and stupid.

"Phil, do you want me to avenge you, we can ask the New York Times to continue to attack him and the Lakers" In the end, Mr. Dowland Jr. also asked with some suggestions, but what made him a little incomprehensible was that Phil took Jackson and refused directly.

"Don't worry about him anymore, we just need to prepare for the next game now" Phil Jackson, who had a somewhat ugly face, looked at the general manager of the team in front of him and said a little coldly, and seeing that Phil Jackson himself had no idea of revenge, and finally the owner of the New York Knicks also quit Phil Jackson's office with some embarrassment. Of course, Phil Jackson had no intention of entangling with Zhuang Fei. That doesn't mean he won't do it himself, David Stern would have liked this guy all over again if he knew what the New York boss was thinking.

And at this time, looking at the back of his boss, Phil Jackson is also a little helpless, sometimes he really feels that he is very unlucky, when he was in the Bulls, his boss was also a superb, and when he was with the Lakers, his two small bosses were also the best of the best, and when it came to the Knicks, this little Mr. Dolan made him even more speechless, he has always been jealous of Zhuang Fei in this regard, why can Zhuang Fei fully control everything after he arrives at the Lakers, but he can't? He doesn't think that his failure to Zhuang Fei is a matter of his own ability or the strength of the team.

"Although this guy is very useless, but fortunately, he doesn't dare to point fingers" Finally, the New York Knicks head coach looked at the back of the slowly disappearing Dowlan and muttered, no matter what the Dowlan's ability is, as long as he doesn't mess with him like Buss Jr. when the Lakers did, and in fact, the New York owner has done a good job in this this season. And this is also what makes Phil Jackson very satisfied

On December 10, 2004, the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, the game held here this night was the Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the Phoenix Suns in the West, at this time the game was nearing the end, and at this time the Lakers fans in the stands were also cheering at all, although the suspense of the game was actually long gone, and at this time the Lakers players on the court did not have a starter.

Kobe Bryant, who had been playing in the fourth quarter, was still sitting on the bench after the last game, and in this game, Kobe Bryant still scored 40 points in the first three quarters of 29 minutes, and the shooting rate was amazing, which also made these Lakers fans marvel at Zhuang Fei's use of Kobe.

Because they know very well that the leader of their own team does not have such excellent scoring ability and shooting percentage when he is in the hands of Phil Jackson, it is obvious that Phil Jackson said that Kobe is a poisonous cherry is indeed something that he will not use to belittle Kobe, if such a player is a poisonous cherry, then who else in the league is not poisonous?

Of course, for them, they can cry out for Kobe, but they can only watch the war of words between Zhuang Fei and Phil Jackson, after all, these two are the head coaches of the Lakers, one is the former and the other is the current, although Phil Jackson is not loved by Lakers fans during his tenure, but these Lakers fans are not as undisciplined as Magic fans, after all, they are the most famous aristocratic team fans in the league.

"Zhuang, the Lakers are really strong, I really didn't expect you to tune this team so well" McBrown looked at the Chinese in front of him and sighed.

As a student of Popovich, he has a good relationship with Zhuang Fei, which is also because Zhuang Fei has been digging his corner, and he really respects the Chinese in front of him. Although he is much older than Zhuang Fei. But in his opinion. This Chinese is currently one of the few head coaches in the NBA who can compete with his teacher Popovich.

And this year's Chinese's performance in the Lakers is magical, with such a team to win the current 19 consecutive wins, even his teacher Popovich can't do it, you know, at the beginning of the season he was like most people, thinking that this Laker would die very badly, but from now it seems that many people have been slapped in the face by Zhuang Fei and the Lakers' results. Including himself.

"Thank you, Mike. The Suns' performance is not bad" Zhuang Fei also said with a smile, and after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, McBrown was a little bitter, after all, as a defensive head coach, let Zhuang Fei's Lakers hit 126 points in this game, which cannot be said to be a qualified level, but thinking about the Lakers' average points per game this season, and the actual ranking of his team, Zhuang Fei said that the Suns performed well in this game is understandable.

The home game against the Suns on December 10 is not very difficult, after all, the Suns are not very high-ranked, and they are just a fish belly team. And on December 12, the Lakers welcomed a belly team that wasn't a belly team. Orlando Magic.

This team that was beaten by Zhuang Fei and the Lakers by 169 points is now looking for a trade partner all over the world, and there have been a lot of scandals with the Lakers recently, and this team has also gone from the previous East 11, which can touch the threshold of the playoffs to now it is a losing streak, directly falling to the bottom of the East and the bottom of the league, in fact, the players of this team are not bad, but the whole world knows why such a problem occurs.

And before the start of this game, the new head coach of the Magic, Chris Janet, publicly expressed his hope that the Magic players could come out of the shadows in this game, and the same is also a very good show of Grant Hill and Hardaway and Zhuang Fei is a big boast, and this effect is really good, this game Magic lost on the road is not ugly, and the Lakers also do not have the full-court suffocating offense and defense when they played them away last time.

And in this game, the Lakers only defeated the Magic 135-100, and the two sides played a very beautiful offensive battle, with a very fast pace of offense and defense, after all, both sides played small ball.

After defeating the Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers' winning streak also reached an astonishing 20 games, and in this game, Kobe Bryant scored 41 points again, 40+ in three consecutive games and three quarters, which also made the whole United States stunned, and the report of the United States Today after the end of this game represents the voice of many people.

"Maybe Coach Z is right, Kobe Bryant is not a poisonous cherry, but Phil Jackson has his own problems"

Of course, Phil Jackson himself has no problems for the time being, but it is indeed a fact that the Lakers' opponents are not strong in recent times, you know, whether it is Kobe Bryant's opponent who has 40+ in three consecutive quarters in three games, whether it is the Clippers or the Suns or the Magic, it is not a strong team, in this case, Kobe's three consecutive quarters of 40+ are shocking, but it is not enough to explain anything, after all, for players of this level, as long as they want Carter, Iverson has also done this.

And the real test for the Lakers in the recent period is the next period of schedule, starting from the challenge of the SuperSonics on December 14 to the end of the Christmas game against the New York Knicks, the Lakers' opponent in this period of time is not a fish belly team.

And the performance of the Lakers and Kobe Bryant during this period of time is the basis for people to really measure whether this team really has dominance.

On December 14, Los Angeles challenged the Seattle SuperSonics, who are currently sixth in the West, and this game is also the strongest outside team that the Los Angeles Lakers seem to have encountered this season.

This is a team with very strong firepower on the outside, of course, like the Lakers, this team is not good enough on the inside, after all, most teams in the league are now simulating the game mode of the Timberwolves, basically half of the teams in the league have begun small-ball tactics now, and the supersonic are no exception, after all, such tactics can attract fans and bring championships, especially to attract fans, after all, for these small ball cities, championships are far away. So it can also be seen that Zhuang Fei's influence on the NBA has reached all aspects and levels.

And in this game and the supersonic offense, the Lakers and the supersonic have played extremely wonderful basketball, three-point, dunk, all kinds of fancy offenses emerge in endlessly, at this time Ray Allen is not only three points, and Lewis is not only three points, and the final score of this game is 138-121 also reflects the intensity of this game, the same game Kobe Bryant still only played in three quarters, and the score in the third quarter was just over 40 under Ray Allen's defense, In the fourth quarter of this game, even if there was no garbage time, Kobe Bryant did not play.

And after this game is over, I'm afraid many people will know that when Coach Z said that when he can't play against the New York Knicks, Kobe's commitment not to play in the fourth quarter will not be canceled. (To be continued.) )
