When the Knicks managed to win Game 2, the online hype about the Knicks became even more intense.

And the ridicule of Knicks fans against Lakers fans has intensified.

Gradually, many Lakers fans began to get a little unbearable.

However, even if they can't bear it, they can't fight back.

One can only hope that the Lakers can play well and win a win when they return to their home court in Game 3 to breathe a sigh of relief.

Time passed day by day.

Finally, the third game came as scheduled.

Han Ning took the Knicks players to the Staples Center.

In the away team's locker room, Han Ning looked at the Knicks players next to him and said in a deep voice: "Win this game." ”

"Get the match point, don't give the Lakers any chance to turn the tables!"

"Roar!!

The Knicks players burst into roars and rushed out of the locker room and onto the court.

After winning two games, the Knicks players are full of fighting spirit and confidence at this point.

Especially Aaron Iverson.

He felt even more deeply in his heart.

The last time he walked into the Finals, he was playing against the Lakers.

At that time, the Lakers he faced were still only OK Lakers.

It's nowhere near as strong as the Lakers are today.

But even so.

In the first round of the finals, Allen Iverson only did his best in the first game, scoring a high score of nearly 50 points, and then won a game.

After that, the 76ers lost four games in a row.

Let Allen Iverson miss out on the championship ring.

It was at that time that Aaron Iverson finally understood.

How difficult it is for a team to win the championship with a single core.

Especially in the era of the center forward, if you don't have a strong center player, it will be even more difficult to win the championship!

At the beginning, the scene of O'Neal wreaking havoc in the interior of the 76ers was still in the mind of Allen Iverson.

And now.

It's the finals again.

The opponent is still the Lakers.

But this time the difference is that he is no longer alone.

There are great teammates such as Da Yao, Mutombo, Zach Randolph and so on.

Even, Da Yao has beaten Shaq O'Neal to become the league's active No. 1 center player!

than his teammates, he is really not afraid of Kobe!

than the ability of the individual.

With the help of Han Ning, Allen Iverson, who has grown to the present day, is not afraid of Kobe!

He wants to see how the Lakers can stop themselves from winning the championship this time!

This time, even if the Lakers can come up with another Tyronn Lue to defend him, they won't be able to stop him!

On the other side of the home locker room, the atmosphere of the Lakers is much more oppressive.

The Lakers, who were already star-studded, didn't have a very good atmosphere in the locker room.

And now, after losing two games in a row, the atmosphere within the Lakers team has dropped to freezing point.

Phil Jackson looked at the Lakers players next to him and let out a long sigh.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Boys." ”

"I know that some of you don't like each other on a daily basis."

"But this season, you've worked together so many games for the championship."

"For the sake of this championship, some of you gave up the fight for the ball, and some of you gave up being the boss of the team."

"Some people drag their bodies that are no longer young until now."

"But!"

"It turned out that you were 2-0 down to the Knicks!"

"Behind the group of young people on the other side!"

"Can you accept this result?!"

After saying that, Phil Jackson observed the expressions on the faces of the Lakers players around him.

Obviously, these Lakers players simply can't accept this result.

Everyone's face was full of anger and unwillingness.

Regardless of the consequences of losing the championship.

Or the result of being trampled under the feet of these young people on the other side.

None of them can accept it!

After a slight pause, Phil Jackson began to push harder.

"You've seen the news and what fans have said about us on the Internet all this time, right?!"

"They say our Lakers are imaginary!"

"They say that our Lakers, even if we have four top stars, are not a match for the Knicks!"

"They say that we, the Lakers, are destined to be a stepping stone for the Knicks!"

"They're, this year's champions, it's the Knicks!"

"They say that we, the Lakers, will be the most colorful joke in the history of this league! A big joke that gathered four of the league's top stars couldn't win the championship! ”

With every word Phil Jackson said, the gloom on the faces of the Lakers players around him became a little more gloomy.

Finally, Kobe Bryant was the first to take it anymore.

He stood up and looked at Phil Jackson, his expression full of murder.

He said in a deep voice: "Coach, I want to win!" ”

Kobe Bryant is young, but he is not stupid.

He could hear why Phil Jackson was so irritating them.

There must be a way to deal with the Knicks.

It's just that this method needs to provoke their anger.

Kobe, who is extremely eager for victory, how can he still endure it.

Naturally, he would be the first to stand up and ask Phil Jackson how to win the game.

And Phil Jackson looked at Kobe Bryant when he saw that the first person to stand up had a hint of pity in his eyes, but he didn't seem to be surprised.

If the person who stands up at this time is not Kobe, but Karl Malone or Gary Payton.

Then for Phil Jackson, it's a better outcome.

However, since Kobe Bryant was the first to stand up, he has to continue according to the process.

Phil Jackson glanced at all of the Lakers players on their faces.

Every player couldn't help but puff out their chests as they were glanced at by Phil Jackson.

Clearly, they all want to be key players in the game.

It's like the ultimate in personal heroism.

One person solves a battle that no one else can solve.

That's what they aspire to.

Finally, Phil Jackson spoke slowly, "Gary, Carl, I need you to make some sacrifices. ”

"In the next game, I hope you can go to the bench and play against the Knicks."

"So we can make sure that we can have a certain advantage in the battle against the Knicks, whether it's in the starting lineup or off the bench."

"Don't worry, I'll guarantee your playing time."

"Doesn't the Knicks like to have a rotation policy?! Then we'll follow them and play a rotation policy! ”

After hearing Phil Jackson's words, Gary Payton and Carl Malone did not feel that such an arrangement was unacceptable due to the previous foreshadowing.

On the contrary, I feel that although I am old.

But he is still the key player to solve the current situation!

It's something the rest of the Lakers players have to rely on.

If you want to win the championship, you need to rely on these two veterans who will come after them!

This feeling made the two of them feel very comfortable.

I have to say that Phil Jackson's ability to control the locker room, even Han Ning has to sigh to himself!
