Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Enemy of Life, Who Else Is You? (Kneel for monthly passes, collections, recommended tickets)

Recently, O'Neill, who has always breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, may have caused his old toe injury to recur because of too much force.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Jackson did not include him in the roster for the team's game against the Clippers on the 20th.

Originally, this was not a big deal.

Since he swam to Los Angeles and chose to gain weight, O'Neal's toes have long become his "Achilles heel".

Basically, every season, O'Neill will miss games due to a recurrence of an old toe injury.

But on the 20th, the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant lost to the Clippers in Staples, and after the game, Kobe Bryant said in an interview that "there will always be someone who will be absent at a critical moment", but quietly, successfully detonated a war.

The next day, during the Lakers' intra-team training session, O'Neal, who had not fully recovered, said to Phil Jackson with an angry face: "I can't bear it, I'm going to beat him now!" ”

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant said reluctantly: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like an injured person?" ”

On the side, looking at the two people on the court with an increasingly strong smell of gunpowder, the role players of the Lakers can be said to be extremely scared.

In order to resolve the conflict between the two, Jackson first talked to O'Neal alone after separating the two: "Shaq, you have always been a sane person, and I don't want to affect your performance on the court because of some small things. ”

After Jackson's reasoning and emotional persuasion, O'Neill gradually calmed down.

"I'll take care of my injuries first." At the end of the conversation, O'Neill said to Jackson.

"But I also want someone to learn to understand others, to be considerate of others, and to respect others." O'Neill added.

After a long sigh of relief, about half an hour later, Jackson found Kobe.

The "Zen Master" knew very well that compared to O'Neal, who was already maturing at this time, the more boyish Kobe Bryant was both easy to handle and the most difficult to deal with.

In Jackson's opinion, if you know why Kobe Bryant is angry with O'Neal, then this thing only needs to give a candy to appease.

But, if you don't know why Kobe Bryant is angry, then I'm sorry......

This product will 100% continue to drill the horns.

Fortunately, as a "scientist", Jackson happens to know the reason why Kobe Bryant is angry this time.

To sum up, it is nothing more than one sentence:

All TM Lai Benzema!

Belch......

No, do it again!

All TM Lai Michael Jordan!

You said you're 38, why do you want to make a comeback? And if you come back, you will come back, why do you want to make such a big move? It's 51 points in the opener again, and it's 10 consecutive wins for the Wizards, no, you Jordan is so good, who are you showing in the cow?

As the predecessor of Boss Joe, in fact, if he can, the "Zen Master" also hopes that the Lakers can surpass the Wizards in terms of record at this stage.

After all......

If the predecessor is good, it is never good, only if the predecessor is not good, then it is really good.

Obviously, in his heart, Kobe Bryant is also very aware of the importance of O'Neal to this Lakers team.

Otherwise, how could he have said something he shouldn't have said after the game because of O'Neal's absence due to an injury?

"Kobe, I hope you understand how important Shaq is to us. Of course, if it seems to you that two championships will help you surpass Michael in the future, then I didn't say that today. Jackson said to Kobe Bryant with a serious and solemn face.

Hearing this, Kobe's high head immediately shrugged down.

"OK" is indeed a magical pair.

Obviously, both of them know how important each other is to each other.

But no matter whether the two of them are on or off the field, they can always quarrel and fight non-stop.

"I said before the start of the regular season that with his weight, if he doesn't lose it, he will definitely get hurt." Bryant muttered quietly.

Tut!

There is one thing to say.

Although O'Neill's toe injury has been repeated, it does have to do with his weight.

But God really should have sent a Zion Williams to be Kobe Bryant's teammate.

Let Kobe Bryant have a good look at what torture is.

In addition, the "Zen master's" sentence "two championships are not enough to help you surpass Jordan" is completely coaxing children.

Because although the two championships really can't surpass Jordan, it can ......

What if you add marketing?

As long as you know how to market, what two crowns?

One crown is enough to surpass Jordan!

Two crowns, you can win the first place in history!

Three crowns, four crowns, there is no ancients before, and there is no one after!

At this moment, looking at Kobe, Jackson, who knew that Kobe had begun to deflat, smiled slightly and said, "Next, I will increase your tactical weight in the game, can you take the lead in these games that Shaq is missing?" ”

Kobe Bryant's competitive spirit was aroused by the "Zen master" and said, "What's not to do?" ”

Hearing this, the "Zen master" knew very well that the pair of "enemies" had been cleaned up by him.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Just a child quarrels, how can it be difficult for him to fall Phil Jackson?

In fact, what really gave Jackson a headache recently was his ex and the new love that his ex was looking for.

……

"How do you rate the Lakers' loss to the Clippers? I don't know exactly why you're asking, and at this stage, I don't think there's any direct competition between us and the Lakers. ”

On the 22nd, before the start of the game of leading the team to Indianapolis to challenge the Pacers, Wang Shuo replied to the reporter who asked him what he thought of the Lakers' loss to the Clippers.

The reporters were very dissatisfied with Wang Shuo's Tai Chi behavior, so they went on to ask him what he thought of Phil Jackson.

'Phil is a good coach and I still have a lot to learn from him. Wang Shuo replied.

"The Wizards have won 10 in a row, can you share with us the secret to the Wizards' ability to win consistently?" At the scene, seeing that the peers around him were relentlessly trying to involve Wang Shuo in the boiling infighting in Los Angeles, the wizard's reporter hurriedly changed the direction of the question and relieved Wang Shuo.

However, Wang Shuo's next answer was like thunder on the ground, which caught all the reporters at the scene off guard.

I saw Wang Shuo smile and replied: "It's not a big deal, if you can coach Michael Jordan, I believe you can do it too." ”

Admittedly, this answer is nothing on its own.

Because you can completely understand him as Wang Shuo's praise for Boss Qiao.

But judging from the question process of today's reporters, Wang Shuo's sentence is almost by name to say that Phil Jackson's six championships that year were all won by hugging Jordan's thigh!

The Wizards' reporter suddenly felt that he was the one who had been tricked.

However, since the words have been talked about, no matter what, as a reporter with the team, I can't help but stud with Wang Shuo, right?

So, after a pause, the wizard reporter deliberately handed a message to Wang Shuo: "But Michael is 38 years old this year, even if his majesty in the game is still the same, he can't completely offset the erosion brought to him by the years." ”

Wang Shuo nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is also a problem that we need to solve in the competition. After all, who wouldn't want to coach 28-year-old Michael Jordan if they could? ”

Although in this pre-game interview, Wang Shuo did not answer the questions that the reporters wanted to ask at the beginning, but in the questions and answers between him and the reporters of the Wizards team, the reporters got more powerful answers.

Passing it on, he Wang Shuo thinks Phil Jackson can't do it!

Wang Shuo knows that taking quotes out of context has always been something that the media likes to do, but he doesn't mind.

Because he knows very well that sooner or later he and Jackson will be pulled out for comparison.

Even now, the comparison has already begun.

And since it will be pulled out for comparison no matter what, Wang Shuo will definitely occupy the high ground of public opinion first.

After all, this is a world of great contention.

If you don't fight, won't others fight?

Wake up, this is the NBA!

The fittest survive, and the weak get out.

After the pre-game interview, looking at the Wizards staff who accompanied him to the pre-game interview, Wang Shuo asked curiously, "What is the name of the reporter who followed the team?" ”

"Donnie Jones, who turned out to be a reporter for the Los Angeles Evening News." The staff replied to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo wrote down the reporter's name because he felt that the reporter was very spiritual and that he might be able to cooperate more in the future.

On the evening of the 22nd, at the Conceco Arena, the Wizards were strongly challenged by the Pacers.

Jermaine O'Neal in the Pacers can be considered Pau Gasol's "enemy for life".

Before his future form dropped significantly due to injury, O'Neal Jr. could even have the upper hand in his career record against Gasol.

On the court, O'Neal Jr. can not only attack, but also defend, and at the peak of his career, he often averaged more than 2 blocks per game.

The iron-blooded jumper is just one of O'Neal Jr.'s many offensive options, and in fact, O'Neal Jr.'s offensive area at his peak is very evenly distributed and smooth.

Under the basket, he can play strongly, and at close range, he can hook and throw.

The only regret is that in the future, when the best hope of winning the championship, O'Neal Jr. fell before the dawn.

At the end of the 13/14 season, in the face of the retention of the Warriors management, due to the countless injuries caused to O'Neal Jr.'s body by his 18-year NBA career, O'Neal Jr. refused the retention of the Warriors management and officially ended his playing career.

In addition, this Pacers team also has Reggie Miller, who has been touted as Jordan's "lifelong enemy" by many marketing trumpets.

However, compared with Gasol and O'Neal Jr., who are not famous but are real lifelong enemies, in Wang Shuo's view, Reggie Miller is not Jordan's lifelong enemy at all.

Because every time he meets Miller, which time is Boss Joe not crushed?

And, in addition to that round of the 97/98 season......

Jordan and Miller have no playoff record.

You say, what kind of "lifelong enemy" is such a "lifelong enemy"?

Can't, just because of that GIF of Miller treating Boss Joe as a dog, just raise Miller's career status, right?

In fact, the only lifelong enemy of Boss Joe is Michael Jordan, who thought he was Shohei Ohtani in his dreams.

On the court, in the first three quarters of the game, the Wizards and Pacers always alternated back and forth to lead.

Named by the Pacers with the 27th pick in the first round this year, Jamal Tinsley was in great form tonight, scoring 14 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds for the Pacers after three quarters.

In the future, Jalen Rose, who is familiar to every Chemey, scored five three-pointers for the Pacers in the first three quarters.

This is the NBA.

Even if you are stronger than the opponent, once the opposing player explodes, there is still a chance to defeat you.

So, in desperation, in the last quarter of the game, looking at Jordan with an affectionate face, Wang Shuo once again sacrificed his ultimate killer move.

Go ahead, press that button!

Who else will save the world?
