Chapter 554 [Fight against the Knicks, and then fight against the old club]

On November 11, the Lakers played against the Knicks at home, which was the focus of this round and was broadcast live across the United States.

There is a big gap in strength between the two teams. The Lakers have won 7 games in a row, and the Knicks have won 2 and 5. In one of them, Marbury also hit a lore shot and narrowly beat the Blazers by one point.

When the league arranged the schedule, they never thought that there would be such a big gap between the two teams.Even so, the game attracted the attention of the majority of fans, because many people speculated that Yao Ming would break out.

The Knicks delayed Yao Ming for two years. Last season, Yao Ming only played against his old club for one game, not to mention the parties, even the fans felt that it was not enough.

When the players on both sides played, the Lakers fans didn't boo the Knicks hard, and some people applauded Phil Jackson, but Jackson wasn't happy at all.Since arriving in Los Angeles, he has had a strong sense of foreboding that something is going to happen today.With the urination Yang Rui has shown over the years, he will never let go of the Knicks led by him easily.

When Larry Brown was there, Yang Rui helped Yao Ming play super data, and Jackson suspected that Yang Rui would repeat the same trick.Even if Yang Rui didn't help Yao Ming arrange tactics, he would arrange for Kobe. He had a conflict with Kobe and said that Kobe couldn't be coached.

Jackson was out of work last season, and Kobe didn't have a chance to prove himself.In the 2003-2004 season, he coached the Lakers, and he was a team with Kobe. Kobe is estimated to be holding back.

Jackson knew how serious Kobe's obsessive-compulsive disorder was. Even if he had already won all his honors, even if the Lakers were the championship last season, he would still want to perform well, and he would report it.

After the last game, a reporter interviewed Kobe. He even bluntly said that Jackson is not as good as Yang Rui, which is very disrespectful.

Both of them are head coaches with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, the highest paid coach in the league, and Yang Rui is accepted by everyone. Jackson has not proved himself worth so much in the Knicks. Today's game is very important to him, even if it is Losing and not losing is ugly.

If Jackson led the team to lose even worse than last season after the big change in the summer, the media would never say anything good about him, and he would be killed by a famous move.

To make matters worse, the Knicks are at an absolute disadvantage in the lineup competition, and it is impossible to beat the Lakers at all.After Jackson played seven games, he regretted choosing Andrew Bynum as a high school center. His personality was too rough and his skills were not good enough to be reused for the time being.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Jackson's attitude towards Bynum was very contradictory. He liked it during the draft, hated it for a while after the draft, and then he quit. Bynum became a star starter under Mike Brown, and Jackson tried again. Quite Bynum, I think he is good, is an excellent center.

Jackson's contradiction is caused by his coaching style. His tactics strongly rely on the personal ability of the team's superstars, so he likes Jordan, Kobe, as well as the insider O'Neal and Gasol who is well-rounded.But Bynum is not a top player on both ends of the offense and defense, and he averages less than 20 points per game at his peak. He is just a second-rate star.

Jackson is only good at playing a good deck of cards, not good at playing ordinary cards in his hand.

Now the Knicks don't have any good cards for him to play. Even if Marbury, the core point guard, is an ordinary All-Star rather than a superstar, he is incomparable to Kobe and Yao Ming.As for Ben Wallace, in Jackson's eyes, he is a blue-collar worker who will never arrange tactics for him.

大本场均打35分钟，数据下降到了6.4分10.7篮板2.4助攻1.5抢断2盖帽，如果不是队里没有好内线，杰克逊或许不会让大本首发。

After the warm-up, the players from both sides came out.

Lakers starting: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rashid, Yao Ming.

Knicks starting: Marbury, Hughes, Richardson, Antonio Davis, Ben Wallace.

When he was first signed, Jackson had high hopes for Radmanovic and gave a high evaluation: "He doesn't have to be our scorer. He's a good run, and he'll create more space for other players. "

As a result, after the preseason, Radmanovic made 37.2% of his three-pointers and could only score 8 points.As a 208cm big man, he played small forward with slow lateral movement and poor breakthrough defense. Playing as a power forward was too soft, he couldn’t grab rebounds and couldn’t carry people, so he could only float on the perimeter and shoot three-pointers.This kind of out-of-the-ordinary striker would be fine if he could score like Stojakovic, but it's hard for him to average double figures per game.

After consulting with the assistants, Jackson replaced Radmanovic.

Yao Ming and Da Ben won the jump ball, the game started, and the players pulled away.

Yang Rui arranged for Yao Ming's core mad attack, preparing to use a big victory to widen the distance between Jackson and himself.

Jackson is a famous coach. He has won 6 championship rings as a coach, and his performance is second only to Auerbach. He abused him fiercely, and he must be able to increase his popularity.

The weakness of the Knicks is obvious. The two insiders are not tall. Davis has no weight. He is 206cm tall and only 98kg. He plays with mobility.He is a player born in 68. He is 37 years old this year. He is nearing retirement and his mobility has deteriorated.

Such a veteran can start, not only because he has a shot, but also better than Radmanovic in protecting the rebound.And another insider, Osella Harnington, couldn't open the space, and with Big Ben, the Knicks couldn't break the zone defense at all.

In this case, Yao Ming can definitely play, no matter who has the advantage in singles.

Before the game, Yang Rui deliberately did ideological work for Kobe. Kobe definitely wanted to win the MVP again. Naturally, he hoped that the data would be more beautiful. The MVP list fell behind Yao Ming, and media analysis said that Yao Ming was the core of the Lakers tactics. Kobe was also a little uncomfortable.

But Yang Rui arranged for Yao Ming to fight more, and Kobe didn't dare to do it.This kind of coach who can lead the team to win the championship and also help the stars to brush the data is not easy to find with a lantern.

Kobe Bryant will not fall out with Yang Rui, but just expressed his attitude. When playing a suitable team, he hopes to have more shot rights.The right team, refers to the team like the Rockets last season.Yang Rui has long thought so, and of course he will agree to Kobe's request.

Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming ran off the ball to cover first, and received a pass from Rasheed on the right side. The face frame was a three-threat, and the main defender was Larry Hughes.

Kobe Bryant had advantages in height and weight, and he took one step and easily hung it to Yao Ming, who asked for the ball in the 45-degree low position on the right.

Yao Ming leaned back against Big Ben twice, no one was double-teaming, he swayed his right shoulder lightly, turned to the baseline and hooked his hand, avoided the cover, and scored a cricket goal. 2 to 0.

Everyone sees that Yao Ming is easy to pick, and Barkley laughed: "Ben Wallace won the Defensive Player of the Year and entered the All-Star Game, but he is not Yao Ming's opponent at all. He was severely beaten by Yao Ming last season. He exploded once, and he didn't even make it to the All-Defensive Team in the end. This game will be a test for him, once it can be said to be accidental, and if he gets exploded again, I'm afraid he will be stunned."

"Ben is a little overrated," Kenny Smith said. "He's short and can't shoot, and he's pretty much useless on offense. Larry Brown was trying to develop his offense, and he didn't end up scoring in double figures for a season. "

Barkley laughed: "No team ever asked Brown to develop a blue-collar offense. Jerry ended his coaching career."

It's no exaggeration to say that, Larry Brown's reputation has declined so much that almost everyone believes that he is one of the most overrated coaches in the NBA.

In Yang Rui's previous life, after Iverson retired, he was interviewed and expressed regret that he didn't listen to Brown's words and staged a drama of deep love between master and apprentice.In this life, Iverson may not say good things about Brown. The 76ers and fans say that Brown delayed Iverson from winning the championship, although this is nonsense.
