Chapter 220 Get out!

After a series of hot-field sports, the competition officially began.

The Lakers' starting lineup has returned to the regular season roster: Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol and Bynum.

This very puzzling lineup, the Lakers' large lineup has proven to be unfeasible in the previous games where Zhou Mubai was present, because every time Bynum and Gasol were present, the Lakers could not deal with Zhou Mubai Chandler's pick-and-roll, but Phil Jackson still chose this lineup.

The Knicks' starting lineup has basically not changed, and it is Zhou Mubai, Kevin Martin, Garlinari, Jamison and Tyson Chandler.

At the beginning of the game, Bynum jumped the ball and won Chandler, and transferred the ball to Fisher. Then Fisher passed the half to Kobe, who was suspended by Kobe to Gasol to single Garlinari.

Gasol had an advantage in playing against Gallinari. He drove the ball twice and turned around and hit the hook, which scored two points for the Lakers.

The Knicks don't care. When the two towers are on the court, the Knicks must attack the two towers if they want to defend against them. The attack will give the Lakers a chance on the outside, so the Knicks rarely attack the Lakers, and the Lakers can basically maintain normal offensive efficiency.

The Knicks' strategy is to force the Lakers to attack with themselves. If both sides score normally, then the Knicks will win in the end.

If the Lakers still want to use the strategy of playing inside and forcing the Knicks to let go of the outside, it is basically impossible to succeed. Although Garlinari can't defend Gagasol, he is not a decoration after all. Gasol cannot guarantee that his efficiency is higher than the Knicks' offensive efficiency.

This is very embarrassing.

The Knicks just let Gasol play singles. If you like it, just play. Anyway, with our offensive efficiency, you will never be able to beat us.

The same strategy is also used on Kobe. Under Zhou Mubai's control, other people are not attacked. If Kobe likes to play singles, just play. Under Zhou Mubai's defense, Kobe's efficiency is not low, but it is still lower than the Knicks' overall offense.

So the Knicks are just taking single defense. You can play singles as you like. Anyway, three-pointers from the outside are not given.

The Lakers' secret to winning is precisely the inside line Gasol's singles to attract and support the attack, while Kobe's wing singles to attract and pass the shot, creating opportunities for role players.

Then the Knicks didn't care about it. They played whatever they like, but it was absolutely impossible to connect the entire team.

The secret to winning is dismantled, what is left of the Lakers?

Fight with the Knicks at a fast pace?

Tactics for the Princeton system?

Pick-and-roll?

Actually, none of them are particularly good choices.

The Knicks like their opponents to play fast, so that they can get up quickly, which is the Knicks' fundamental advantage.

Princeton tactics?

It's impossible. A team's basic tactics are inertia. After you play the triangular tactics throughout the season, how can it suddenly become Princeton tactics? Isn't this nonsense?

As for pick-and-roll, the Lakers don’t really have the ability to play big. Oh, apart from Kobe, the key is that the Knicks do not have real weaknesses in the inside.

Garlinari is a long man, but in fact his position is to be a small forward, OK, Chandler... Are you sure you have to face him as a small player?

Chandler's ability to defend big and small is not the best, but it is definitely not something a player like Fisher can do.

But now the Lakers are still fighting according to their routine, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Lakers do not change, they will be dead if they continue to fight like this.

But as the game progressed, the Lakers were pulled apart by the Knicks bit by bit, and Phil Jackson still implemented their original strategy indifferently.

At first, everyone thought Phil Jackson was hiding some strategy, but at the beginning of the second half, the Lakers still played like this, either Gasol Bynum or Kobe Odom, and in fact he had fallen into singles mode.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had already widened the score difference to 20 points, but Phil Jackson still had no intention of changing.

"What's wrong?"

Little Van Gundy was puzzled and looked around with a blank look.

McBrien was also confused.

"Is it because Phil Jackson has given up on the game?"

This is their only idea.

But this will eventually become a secret.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Knicks reaped their results with all their heart's content, widened the score difference to 30 and won the NBA championship in the 2009-10 season!

Staples' fans were in a state of dismay, and many fans cried out, but most of the fans in the whole world were still very happy, especially Zhou Mubai's fans.

A large number of reporters went to interview winners, but a small number of reporters took a different approach and went to interview the Lakers.

"I want to ask Coach Phil Jackson, I want to ask, why do you insist on using it even though you know that the inherent strategy is no longer able to beat the Knicks?"

Phil Jackson stroked his silver beard and said expressionlessly: "That is the tactic we are most familiar with and good at. The players' states are different in each game. You can't lose with this tactic just because you lose with this tactic, your tactic will fail. The tactics are dead and people live."

"The problem is that from the first quarter to the fourth quarter, you have been using this tactic without any other idea of ​​finding a different approach. Are you not doing this very well?"

Phil Jackson showed a bitter smile on his face. Have I never changed my tactics? I even took out extreme tactics such as the attack of Zhou Mubai from five small and high positions. Do you think I haven't found another way?

He shook his head and said, "It is not embarrassing to admit that the opponent is better than us. I have to admit that the Knicks are indeed better than the Lakers. Of course, this is because of my reasons. I am willing to take this responsibility. Okay, my affairs will end here."

The reporter looked helpless, and Phil Jackson took the responsibility, so what else would he ask?

However, taking responsibility is not just a verbal statement. He said this to the media. Once the Lakers management holds it accountable, his words will become evidence.

However, the reporter was suddenly shocked and remembered a possibility - was Phil Jackson going to give up?

This idea was quickly confirmed.

There was a news from the Lakers that Phil Jackson himself resigned and would no longer execute the remaining contracts and bear responsibility for the failure of the finals.

But what's interesting about this news is that the Lakers' management is said to have tried their best to coach Phil Jackson, but Phil Jackson refused.

This is a big mystery, but there will be a day when the lockdown will be lifted.
