NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

Seeing the score gap getting bigger and bigger, the Zen Master felt that Kobe played so badly tonight that he had to replace Kobe.

He called a timeout and replaced Kobe.

But Kobe's substitution accelerated the Lakers' collapse.

Because they couldn't touch the ball for a long time, the Lakers players didn't feel good.

Fisher, Rush, and Walton Jr., the efficiency of the three people was basically around 30%.

Cook and Fox, the efficiency of both of them fell below 20%.

Payton himself was the one who declined the most, while Malone was in better condition.

However, Malone's playing time was limited due to injuries.

This restriction was not limited by Phil Jackson, but by the team doctor.

Even if Phil Jackson wanted Malone to play more, it was not allowed.

Even if Malone wanted to play more, the Zen Master had to keep him on the bench and force a star player who was limited by injuries to play.

He will only be condemned by the public.

In order to win, he will not care about the physical condition of the players.

Such a coach will not be respected even if he wins the game.

The entire Lakers team was stuck in a quagmire. Usually, OK would stand out.

But Kobe's touch was too bad, and he didn't pass the ball when he was double-teamed. The key was that his touch was bad and his efficiency was poor. O'Neal was also trapped by two beastly inside players. In addition, Kobe didn't feed him the ball. He didn't want to give the ball to Kobe when he was double-teamed.

OK couldn't stand out. Malone left the court after the time limit, Payton declined too much, and the other players had cold touches. The Lakers had no chance to turn the game around.

In the last minute of the game, the score was still pulled to 15 points.

Beep!

Phil Jackson finally gave up and didn't continue to insist meaninglessly. He replaced the water dispenser player.

Wang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and tacitly replaced the water dispenser player.

O'Neal's emotions were all shown on his face, and he almost wrote the word unhappy on his face.

Kobe was off the court, supporting his chin with his hand and watching the garbage time game still going on on the court.

Although he was watching the court, he didn't know where his thoughts had drifted to.

Seeing the two team leaders' expressions, everyone except Payton and Malone didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of angering them. Phil Jackson folded his arms and looked in Wang Chen's direction from time to time, as if he was silently thinking about something in his heart.

As the buzzer sounded, the game that had lost suspense finally ended.

Lakers 93:106 Nuggets.

Big score: Lakers 0-1 Nuggets.

The Nuggets players rushed to the court from the bench, everyone jumped and laughed wantonly, hugged each other to celebrate.

Compared with the clear division of the Lakers, the Nuggets, whether new or veteran, fought together.

This is also the result of Wang Chen's deliberate guidance and the theory that winning can crush all contradictions.

However, compared with the excitement of the Nuggets, the entire Staples Center seemed a bit cold and depressing.

Some fans of Staples left the stadium early, while others stayed in the stadium without leaving. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

You look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, they don't even understand why the team lost.

Post-match data.

Anthony's data is very dazzling.

In the whole game, Anthony scored 36 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Usually, when Anthony scores high, there is no assist data, but in this game, Anthony actually scored 5 assists.

Although Kobe also scored 31 points, his shooting percentage was less than 30%, which is a very low efficiency.

O'Neal was too lazy in the early part of the game, and even if he tried hard later, he didn't get very good data, only 21+10.

21+10 looks like a very good data, but if it was O'Neal who got it, it would be very ordinary.

"Guys, the game is over. I still can't figure out how the Lakers lost."

Barkley covered his big bald head. He couldn't say he was surprised by the result. He couldn't accept it.

One team created a three-peat dynasty, and the other was the eighth in the West. They beat the Kings again after the black eight miracle.

".It was Wang Chen. Every time he paused, it played a role to some extent."

"Especially the one where he guessed that Phil would break the double team defense. Even though it only lasted two rounds, it completely disrupted Phil and made him feel constrained."

Johnson analyzed calmly.

"Yes, that tactic was indeed the key to switching the momentum of the two teams."

"Originally, the Lakers were the superiors, and the Nuggets were the challengers. After that round, the identities of both sides changed."

Kenny Smith analyzed with a professional eye.

But no matter what the reason is, competitive sports (money king) only look at winning and losing. No matter how tortuous the process is, the winners and losers will never change.

When a team loses the championship because of carelessness or various other off-court reasons, you can't say that because I was careless or for other reasons, I will play again, right?

When losing to the Spurs, the Lakers fans were not so upset, because after all, it was the team that eliminated them last season.

Losing to the weakest team in this East-West Finals is obviously unacceptable to the Lakers fans, especially since they also claim to be the strongest team.

If it were other teams, they could still say something to cheer them up, such as winning together next time.
