Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Only by being in this era can you know how strong the current Lakers are. In the three years from 2008 to 10, the most impressive moment was undoubtedly the two-year finals in 2008 and 10. The Lakers and Celtics, the top two teams in NBA history,

The fierce battle between the Celtics in the finals is still talked about even after many years.

In comparison, the 2009 Lakers are the most overlooked. This is of course because the championship process was a bit mediocre. No matter how Magic fans try to save their respect afterwards, it cannot change the fact that they were beaten 4-1.

But this exactly reflects the horror of the Lakers in the 2008-09 season. In Zuo Li's view, in the past three years, this season's Lakers are the complete Lakers and the most powerful Lakers in these three seasons.

Although strictly speaking, unlike the Celtics, the Lakers do not have a true Big Three, but their configuration is undoubtedly the standard configuration of a championship team or even a dynasty team.

A superstar - Kobe; a super second-in-command - Gasol; a super sixth man - Lamar Odom; a top outside 3D player - Ariza; a championship-level super coach - Jackson.

The players have mentioned it before, and everyone will be familiar with these players. Here we will focus on the coach, the real King of the Rings in NBA history, Big Phil.

In the era that Zuo Li traveled through, Phil Jackson was the head coach with the most championship rings in NBA history, with a total of 11, including 3 three consecutive championships and 1 two consecutive championships, which can be described as full dominance.

However, among the fans, there is always a view that Jackson is just lucky. He coached the Bulls with Jordan and Pippen, and coached the Lakers with Kobe and O'Neal. With so many big names in the lineup, doesn't success just come naturally? Just in terms of tactical ability.

, Zen masters are simply not good at it.

But Zuo Li always believed that this was the biggest misunderstanding in history.

Before the 2010 Finals, Zuo Li clearly remembered that Van Gundy Jr. once publicly said before the game: "Phil has ten rings. How many coaches have played in the playoffs even 10 times?"

Regardless of this point, the Zen master's ability is seriously entrenched.

Basketball tactics are like mathematical formulas, and the game is like a mathematical problem. There are many ways to solve the problem. Which formulas to choose to solve the problem depends on the wisdom of the head coach. If he can choose the most suitable problem-solving ideas according to his aptitude, this team will

If you can play smooth tactics, on the contrary, if the coach chooses poorly and the tactics do not match the players, the team's record will have problems.

As for Zen Master, his tactical ability may not be the best in the NBA, but it is definitely the best in NBA history. Although he did not invent the triangle offense, there is no doubt that it was carried forward in his hands. The Bulls' 72-win record is the real deal.

It is also a model of the application of the triangle offense. People who say that the triangle offense is not good don't need it. After all, it is impossible for a dog to win 72 games here.

But he is not the only one in terms of tactics, but Phil Jackson's most commendable ability is undoubtedly the management of players!

In this aspect, there may be no one in the league who does it better than him.

It can be seen from some of Zen Master's tactical designs that although this person has very good cards, he knows how to play the good cards better, and his use of bench players is excellent.

The characteristic of the "triangle offense" is that it requires a superstar with a strong ability to play in singles with the ball. Through the transfer of the ball, a one-on-one situation is formed for the superstar to play in singles. The star itself needs to have good defensive ability, otherwise there will be loopholes. This is

The reason why Zen Master needs Jordan and Kobe. What these kind of stars with extremely strong personal abilities need is a coach who is powerful enough to "subdue" them!

At the same time, another great thing about Zen Master is that he is "tolerant of all rivers" and can tolerate the immaturity of stars and their shortcomings. The most typical example is Rodman. In the Spurs, he openly criticized David Robinson.

, the offensive end simply did not participate, and it was a mess on and off the court. But after going to the Bulls, it immediately changed 180 degrees, and he was fighting hard in almost every game. Just when everyone thought it was Rodman's prodigal son turning back, 98

Rodman, who left the Bulls in 2006, repeated the same mistakes he made with the Spurs in Los Angeles.

The most impressive thing is that in 1998, at the most difficult moment of the Bulls' three consecutive championships, he actually allowed Rodman to go whoring in Las Vegas and lose contact. This is unimaginable for any team.

, in the end it was Jordan who personally went to Las Vegas to pick him up. If other teams would have broken up long ago, what was the result? The returning Rodman killed everyone and won the rebounding title.

Also helped the Bulls complete their second three consecutive championships.

This is the power of Zen masters.

You know, in the 1990s, what you could often see in various media was that Jordan threatened General Manager Krause with his retirement several times in order to let Phil Jackson continue to coach the Bulls, but you never heard that Jordan wanted to change coaches.

rumors, and I have never heard of news that Jordan hopes Pop or any other coach will come to coach the Bulls.

Do you know that in Jordan's mind, they feel that if they don't have a Zen master, they may never have a crown for life!

And such a coach is now sitting in Los Angeles. His second cooperation with Kobe Bryant seems to have no shortcomings. He has also knitted the Lakers into a solid piece. This is the opponent the Knicks will face in the finals.

After analyzing it, all the Knicks generals looked solemn and lost confidence...

Little Ewing scratched his head: "So are we facing such a team..."

"It feels like it's not easy to win..."

"Nonsense, not only is it not easy to win, it is obviously unsolvable." David Lee curled his lips and said.

For the first time, Zuo Li did not refute. After all, no one here knew the strength of the Lakers better than him. Although the regular season was lively, even the Magic who broke through the Eastern Conference lost miserably. Even if 23vs24 was formed, or without adding in

If the Green Army made a miracle of reaching the finals, it would be difficult to change the final result.

And judging from the current configuration of the Knicks...

Zuo Li glanced at the teammates around him. Harrington, David Lee, Dragic, Keliu... They were really incomparable to the Lakers.

To be honest, if they want to win the championship, the Knicks are really going against the grain.

But this is the charm of basketball, isn’t it? Before the game comes, anything can happen!

"Guys, let you know the strength of our opponents. It's not for you to be afraid. Although they are very strong, we are not weak either," D'Antoni said.

This sentence can be regarded as saving some solemn atmosphere. Yes, although the Knicks do not look strong enough, they are also the Eastern Conference champions who have entered the finals step by step!

Who is afraid of whom!

"Okay guys, we've finished reading the tactics. Now let's go to the court. We need to strengthen it." D'Antoni clapped his hands.

And just when the Knicks finished analyzing the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' core at the time, finally gave his own response: "It's the same sentence, no matter who it is, we will beat them, it's that simple!"
