Chapter 520 Yes, you are not as good as Lin Long! 【Subscription】
Phil Jackson took a deep breath, slapped heavily, and drew all the players' attention to himself. Looking at the helpless faces, Jackson said:
"I think you know what I'm about to say, and I'm saying exactly what you think."
"First of all I have to say, you are not as good as Lin Long! Everyone is not as good as him!"
"Karl, you were completely beaten by him in the finals, and you have no strength to fight back, so you came here right? Reggie, and you, you were completely defeated by him in the East, and you can't see any hope of a comeback, That's why I agreed to come to us, I heard that Jerry West even went to Indiana, and it took five trips to find you~ You, right?
"If you didn't really feel powerless and hopeless, I don't think you would take the name of traitors and leave your beloved city."
"And the two of you, Kobe, I know how hard you've been training, and I know you started training like crazy last summer without even enjoying a day off, Shaq, you're the same right, you Shot over 70% from the free throw line this season! You showed great energy and a perfect physique early in the season, instead of taking 2 months to lose weight and get back in shape as you normally would in a season.
"Every one of you has been defeated by Lin Long. Isn't it because we are not as good as him that we gather together and try to defeat him? The matter of not being as good as him is based on our personal experience in the past three years. what?'
"So why do you feel pain and disappointment because you were blocked by him, passed by him, and blocked by him? That is the real gap in strength!"
"But is it important? Is it not as important as him?"
Phil Jackson paused, looked at everyone and said, "It doesn't matter at all, it really doesn't matter at all! Think about it, are Joe Dumars and Isaiah Thomas better than Jordan? Is Bird better than Jordan? Of course not, if they were one-on-one, they would be beaten by Jordan until they vomit blood and collapse!""
"But who stopped Jordan in the East for 7 years and made it difficult for him to win a championship? It was the Pistons' bad boys, the Celtics' king of the division! They never depended on themselves, but a perfect team! They depended on Team, sent Jordan to fish in the playoffs for 7 years in a row!
"Then, Jordan understood the truth, Jordan knew that the important thing is not the individual, but the team, trust your teammates, trust your partners, and hand over your back to your teammates! We all know the following things. , he dominated the league until a stronger team appeared!
"Shaq, why are you going one-on-one with Lin Long? Pass the ball to Karl, can't he teach Sprewell? And our Derrick, he's always open, give him the ball, he won't Let you down! Kobe, you are the same, why do you want to fight against those strong defensive players? Find your strengths and find what you are good at!"
"This Celtics are strong! They might even be the best team in NBA history! But do they have no flaws? Do they dare to play Ben Wallace or Barkley now? They dare to continue to pull Long their own rotation? They dare not! Because we are not bad! We have our advantage! We can use our advantage to beat them!
"The Celtics have been winning for two years, I think it's time, it's our turn to win! We're the best team! We have no flaws, no weaknesses, maybe one-on-one we're not a match for Lin Long , but five to five, I don't think any team can beat us!
Having said that, Phil Jackson stopped his speech, and the second timeout was about to come to an end. He quietly looked at the Lakers players on the bench and said the last sentence lightly. : "Go, prove that basketball is five-on-five, prove that we are the best team, and bring the Celtics down!"
Jackson's words, though no rhetoric, no chicken soup, or even words of encouragement!
Almost half the time, he was reminding the Lakers of the pain of defeat.
But just these few words have really rejuvenated the Lakers and made these players regain their confidence!
Shaquille O'Neal, Malone, Kobe Miller, and Fisher are five people back on the court!
In their eyes, there is no longer that arrogance. Instead, it is the desire for victory and the determination to leave everything behind to win!
On the Celtics side, Bird really didn't send Big Ben!
・・・・For flowers・・・
He's worried about the Lakers' cut-throat tactics, even if they haven't used it once in this series, but Bird dare not bet!
He once again had Lin Long, Manu Ginobili, Sprewell, Bowen and Billups in the lineup.
This lineup is the lineup he is most assured of now. Except for Manu Ginobili who still makes some frivolous mistakes, everyone else is a reliable old fritter!
If there is no accident, these ten people are the final 3 minutes of the final lineup of the two sides!
The final suspense of this season, whether it will continue to the seventh game, or will be revealed tonight, depends on the next performance of these ten people!
With the referee's whistle, O'Neal sent a sideline kick.
Then O'Neal did not sink into the low post as usual, but took the initiative to set a screen for Kobe who was holding the ball!
With O'Neal's body and strength, as long as he is willing to screen, he must be the top screen master! No one can easily squeeze past his screen and continue to defend the ball carrier!
It's just that O'Neal always thinks that playing pick-and-rolls as screens is something only blue-collar and second-tier insiders with insufficient lethality can do, so he rarely takes the initiative to screen and play pick-and-rolls for his teammates!
But in the first round after the timeout, O'Neal took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll!
This not only made Kobe happy, but also made Phil Jackson clench his fist silently!
These guys can still understand what they want to say!
With the help of O'Neal's screen, Kobe directly chose to break through, but when he found out that Lin Long, who was on the switch, was in front of him, he had no intention of playing hard, and directly separated the ball and gave it to Malone on one side!
Malone took the ball without stopping and threw it directly behind him.
At the same time, he quietly took a step forward and blocked Billups, who was rushing in front of him, directly behind him!
Malone's screen created an excellent open 3-point opportunity for Reggie Miller who received the ball!
Of course, the best killer in this league will not miss this rare opportunity.
This ball is Miller's seventh 3-pointer tonight!
It was also his 21st point. His hand style tonight was absolutely silky smooth! Big.
