The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 300 There is only one

After about ten minutes of celebration, the security guards began to maintain order and asked the fans to leave.

Enter the post-match interview.

The Zen Master was in a dilemma.

He lost his left and right arms when he attended the post-match press conference, and appeared in front of the New York media with an elderly “postman”.

“Mr. Jackson, do you have anything to say about the loss of this game?”

“As the saying goes in the hometown of the Knicks Asian boy, victory and defeat are common in the military! Regarding the loss of the decisive battle, I think we did not have a problem in a specific aspect, but in all aspects. We will make adjustments in a limited time so that we can be in the best condition to deal with the opponent in G6.”

“The game is not over yet. The finals is a long-distance race. The Lakers still have a chance!”

The Zen Master scratched his head and read out the prepared speech, which seemed to be fluent.

As a famous coach + old coach with one of the best qualifications in the league, the Zen Master already has his own system when facing the media after the game.

It is easy to deal with these media’s clichés.

Seeing that they could not get effective information from the Zen Master, the Knicks media no longer wanted to make trouble for themselves, and turned the microphone to Karl Malone who was used to fill the numbers.

“Karl, we can see in this game that you are the best player besides Kobe, but he didn’t attend the press conference. Is there a conflict between you two?”

“The Postman” was a little flustered when facing the media’s guns and cannons.

Originally thought that he followed the Zen Master just to fill the numbers, but he didn’t expect that these media would take the initiative to fire at him, which was a bit unexpected.

Moreover, the Zen Master next door didn’t seem to want to help him out.

There was no way, Karl Malone, who took the microphone, could only bite the bullet and do it himself.

“Well… I actually know a little about Kobe. You should be able to see that the relationship between Kobe and me is not as close as brothers, but I do have something I want to say. If I don’t say it, I’m worried that this old bone will fall apart and retire from the league~”

The Zen Master looked at Karl Malone in surprise.

He originally planned to put some pressure on Karl Malone to let the latter not interfere in the affairs between OK.

Unexpectedly, the other party was preparing to use the other party’s media to make trouble for himself and even the entire Lakers.

Thinking of this, the Zen Master hurriedly took the microphone to interrupt Karl Malone, but the postman got there first.

“As everyone knows, I am a player from Utah. It can be said that I have dedicated my entire career to Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, Stokes and I spent more than ten years and always missed the championship.”

“The reason why I came to Los Angeles to join the Lakers in the last years of my career, I believe everyone can see, and I am not afraid to say it, is to stick together… I want to bring a championship trophy home and a championship ring to show my children in the future. This is the result of their father’s struggle for nearly 20 years!”

“What I want is so simple. As for the so-called second in the team’s scoring and the second in command of the team, I have won all the honors in Salt Lake City. I don’t care about these false names at all.”

At this point, Karl Malone looked at the Zen Master, looking like he was about to say something but stopped.

The Zen Master understood what he meant and waved at him to signal him to speak directly:

“I don’t need to say much about the relationship between Kobe and Shaq. The conflict between them is obvious to all. This is the only reason why the series can be dragged to the sixth game and the Lakers are still at a disadvantage.”

“Sometimes I really want to kick Shaq’s big ass hard to make him sober up. For a champion without a championship, I just want to win a championship trophy, but in Shaq’s eyes, after three consecutive FMVPs, he still wants to compete with the young Lakers successor.”

“Shaq and I are both friends and rivals. We have played against each other many times. I can understand that his goal is different from that of ordinary people like us. He wants to be the MJ of the center. I admire him for this.”

“But now, I would like to ask Shaq and Kobe to focus on the present, put aside the love and hate, contradictions and entanglements in the past, and play the last two games well.”

“I, Karl Malone, will accompany you to the end!”

The old “mailman”, a tender and tough guy, had tears in his eyes. At the end of his speech, the scene was silent.

A top power forward who was still earning a maximum salary of 20 million last season, and a top player who played in the last season

A first-tier star who was still around 20 points and 8 rebounds, he was willing to join the Lakers with a veteran base salary of 1.5 million after one off-season.

No one knows the reason.

But I watched him build a high building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse… Karl Malone, who has been with the Lakers for a whole season, has come to where he is today.

This is the first time in his entire career of nearly 20 years that he has truly expressed his feelings in front of the media.

For no other reason, he just wants to use the media to make the strongest combination of the Lakers – OK reconcile!

At least in the last two games, they reconciled briefly.

Only a complete Lakers team has the hope of defeating the current Knicks. Karl Malone knows it, the Zen Master knows it, and Kobe and O’Neal know it even more.

But few people bring this matter to the surface. Whether it is the Zen Master or other teammates, they seem to be shy about the relationship between Kobe and O’Neal and avoid talking about it.

Now, after the postman made this matter clear, the Knicks media who wanted to make a big fuss about it were speechless.

To put it bluntly, this matter is not a big deal when it is put on the table.

Since Kobe and O’Neal have such a fierce quarrel, and have reorganized a space battleship after the defeat in the Holy City.

Why not reach the top here and separate the two sides decently?

This is the idea of ​​most people, including Karl Malone.

After the “postman” made an impassioned speech, the Zen Master left the press conference with this temporary disciple.

The New York media at the scene rarely showed the feeling of being unsatisfied. The full output of the “postman” just now can be said to be the biggest news before the championship is announced.

On the other side.

The Knicks master and apprentice duo who were also interviewed learned the news.

“Karl Malone has always been a man of temperament. His clarification of the relationship between Kobe and Shaq will undoubtedly play a decisive role.”

“It’s just that whether this effect is positive or negative remains to be studied. Of course, as the Lakers’ current mortal enemy, I definitely hope it is negative.”

Facing the camera, D’Antoni expressed his understanding.

Like the “Postman”, the Italian champion coach also mixed some of his own private goods.

It doesn’t make sense for him to say some polite words to perfunctory the local media when the neighbors are crazy about output.

But what he didn’t expect was that his views were still a little immature in front of Wang Song.

“There is no doubt that since the formation of OK, this combination and even this team has one and only one boss.”

“His name is Kobe Bryant!”
