I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 8 Liu He Appears
"What is Phil doing, why isn't it called a timeout?"

Everyone looked at the Lakers bench. Phil Jackson put his hands in his pockets, looking confident.

Those who didn't know thought it was the Lakers leading.

How can he pretend!
But that's what Phil is used to.

A reporter once interviewed him, why didn't you call a timeout?
Phil replied, I believe in my players, they can solve the problems on the field by themselves.

The main thing is a trust.

Phil Jackson's force suddenly rose.

Recognized players will also honor Phil for it.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Anyway, it's not because of my poor on-the-spot adaptability.

The game continues.

The Lakers' turn.

O'Neal looked at Fortson, who was staring at him, and didn't even dare to continue asking for the ball.

The foul tool man did nothing, just wandering around O'Neal.

As long as O'Neill catches the ball, he goes up and hits.

He currently has 6 free throws, only hit 2, and he doesn't feel good.

More importantly, Old Nelson's appearance made his mentality collapse a bit.

At the critical moment, Malone stood up.

He took the initiative to pull to the high position, made a high-quality pick-and-roll for Payton, then rolled down, then received a pass from Payton, and made an easy layup.

4: 7.

The Mavericks attacked, and when Nash tore the Lakers' defense again, Malone made up the defense in time and cooperated with Payton to steal Nash.

back.

Payton cooperated with Malone again, and Malone succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

The postman is at work today.

6: 7.

In an instant, the point difference was only 1 point.

"Oh, it's Karl. In the past 18 seasons, he has always been able to send the ball to the basket in time when the team needs him."

Kenny Smith exclaimed.

However, seven of Barkley were dissatisfied and eight were dissatisfied: "This kind of thing is not worth mentioning at all, and I can do it at any time."

Smith smiled and said nothing. No one knew his partner better than him.

He and Malone have always been at loggerheads.

What's more, Barkley has never won a championship in his life, and Malone is about to get a championship ring. It is normal for Barkley to feel like a lemon.

The Staples Center was elated.

Phil Jackson showed a satisfied smile.

Look, with the help of the strength I trust, my players solve the problems on the field with ease.

There is no need for brother to shoot at all.

This force level suddenly became high.

At this moment, if an ordinary coach stands in front of Phil Jackson, he will be directly conquered by this domineering aura.

But old Nelson is not an ordinary person. He ignored his opponent and cursed loudly: "Antoine, do you still remember what you said before the game? What do you want to prove? Prove that you are a piece of shit? You can't do anything! This is why the Celtics abandoned you."

Walker clenched his fists and looked fierce.

In the next round, Walker hit a three-pointer when he came up.

6: 10.

Lakers offense.

Malone attacked with the ball.

Walker held Malone hard.

Malone tried several times, but failed to get rid of Walker.

Generally speaking:
The fourth position is higher than Malone, not as fast as him.

The fourth position, who is faster than Ma Long, is not as strong as him.

A four who is stronger than Ma Long... Oh, this kind of four has not yet been born.

In the previous 18 seasons, Ma Long galloped inside and turned the world upside down.

And at this moment, you have to admit that he is a 40-year-old veteran.

At this age, 99.9% of basketball players have already retired and started to enjoy a second life.

Ma Long can continue to play at this age, which is really good.

But no matter how powerful a character is, he will eventually lose to time.

His steps have slowed down, his stamina isn't what it used to be, his strength is starting to go downhill
He was actually blocked by an Antoine Walker.

In TNT's live broadcast room, Smith glanced at Barkley, and Malone was embarrassed.According to the habit of this buddy, he will definitely not let go of this great opportunity to humiliate Malone.

But... Barkley didn't mention Malone at all, but explained from another angle: "Walker performed really well tonight. It seems that what he said during the day is not just talking."

No.

Could this be Barkley?

Smith looked at his partner, seeing sadness in his eyes.

What emotion is this?
If Smith knew an idiom, he would not have this doubt.

Sad rabbit and fox!
Barkley thought about his last days in the league.Every NBA super giant is lonely and desolate when he steps down from the altar.

A former role player like Smith can't understand it.

Barkley showed a condescending look, glanced at his good partner, and then laughed again.

"What did I say? Sure enough, the Lakers are not invincible. Brother is indeed a top-notch predictor!"

Smith felt despised for an instant, but unfortunately he had no proof.

on the field.

Malone stopped the ball for a long time, and Fordson's ghostly attack completed a steal.

This damn tool for fouling, how dare to add drama without permission!
Have you got permission from Director Tang?

Don Nelson nodded, expressing good.

Then he looked at Phil Jackson on the opposite side, pretending for me!You keep pretending!Let's see how long you can pretend!

In the 90s, Jordan saved the game, and Kobe saved the game a few years ago. Let me see who can save you tonight?
The Mavericks' defensive counterattack, Nash helped Nowitzki complete a fast break score.

6: 12.

You can't imagine that later, the sharpshooter Nuo Tianwang, when he was young, his main scoring method was defensive counterattack, and he played sneakily in fast break.

The difference is 6 points.

Isn't this called a pause?

On the Lakers bench, Liu He looked at Zen Master Phil Jackson.

The Zen master sat on the seat, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep, and he looked confident.

But the careful Liu He found that the Zen Master's hands kept pinching, loosening, pinching, and loosening...

on the field.

The Mavericks continued to target O'Neal and Malone.

At this time, outside players must stand up and score in order to force the Mavericks to expand their formation and liberate O'Neal and Malone.

But Fisher and George missed two good opportunities for open three-pointers in a row.

Seeing this, the Mavericks shrunk their formation even more brazenly, encircling and suppressing the two behemoths under the basket.

With Walker hitting the third three-pointer, the score was 8:18.

The Mavericks' lead reached double digits.

Of the 18 points the Mavericks scored, nine came from Walker.

On the court, Antoine Walker beat his chest and roared to the sky: "It's me! It's me! It's me!"

Celtics, did you see that?
Lao Tzu proved himself.

Are you starting to regret it?
You bloody traitors, I will make you regret it even more.

Walker's roar was like a drum buff, completely igniting the Mavericks' fighting spirit.

The five bulls on the field vowed to destroy the Lakers.

Phil Jackson finally called a timeout.

"I don't think anyone could have predicted that the game turned out to be a one-sided scene for the Lakers."

Smith sighed.

Barkley nodded: "Kobe's absence has had too much impact on the Lakers. Another problem of the Lakers has also been exposed. They don't have anyone on the bench who can change the situation. This is why Phil hasn't moved, because there is really no one available!"

The translation is: It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Neither can Phil Jackson.

The bench is old and small, and there is no one available.

But the timeout was coming to an end, and Phil knew he had to do something.

Scanning around, removing the old, weak, and unfit... Phil looked at Liu He.

"Liu He, get ready to play."

"The Mavericks shrink their lineup, and there are great opportunities from the outside. If you seize these opportunities, you will be the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory tonight."

Phil is worthy of being the champion coach with nine rings, his ability to cook chicken soup is amazing, and Liu He's heart is excited.

George glanced at Liu He bitterly, but he didn't dare to say anything. In the previous game, he made no achievements. He had two open shots in three shots, but he missed all of them.

It was he who didn't seize the opportunity.

Of course, George would not feel that it was his own fault, but felt that Liu He had taken his place.

Liu He said: who care?

Remember this moment, the first of his career.
