Chapter 894 Phil Jackson's Chance to Become a God!

The situation changes suddenly!

In the past few days, the Western Conference Finals of the NBA playoffs can be described as a sudden change.

Just when Cleveland fans began to verbally criticize James after the Eastern Conference finals, Seattle and the coconut fans, who were originally in a relaxed atmosphere, were now caught in very intense tension.

Out of control!

The whole world originally thought that this series was under Yes' control.

,

But after the sixth game, everyone discovered that Yes had lost control of this series!

Phil Jackson dropped Kidd in front of Durant in Game 6, and took Artest and the others away from Durant. Compared with putting him in front of Leafs, the SuperSonics and Lakers This series is out of control!

Kidd's defensive effect on Durant was so good!

Especially when Artest and his team's defensive effect on Durant is no longer that good, the comparison of Kidd's defensive effect on Durant is simply magical!

The height difference between Artest and Kidd is 8 centimeters. Artest is taller than Kidd, but their heights are actually the same in front of Durant.

Artest is stronger, but Kidd's strength is not bad. Although Kidd's confrontation is definitely not as good as Artest's, Kidd's center of gravity is lower, and even Artest's strength cannot be crushed. Durant and Kidd are not as strong as Artest in confrontation, but it is enough to withstand Durant and prevent Durant from easily beating him.

Compared with Artest, Kidd's disadvantages are not too bad when defending Durant, but Kidd's advantages over Artest are huge advantages.

For example, he has a clear mind when defending, does not fall for Durant's tricks, and is steady and accurate in stealing. His defensive skills are even more sophisticated than Artest's.

These advantages of Kidd are useless in front of Ye Si, but in front of Durant, it is like a combination of Artest + Ariza with plenty left!

In the sixth game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Kidd had a really uncomfortable time defending Durant.

Frontal breakthroughs were frantically intercepted, and pull-ups and back hits were frantically blocked. Durant's play was as awkward as possible.

When Kidd did it alone in front of Durant, he did more than Artest, Ariza and Batum combined!

Kidd's defensive performance in front of Durant made this criticized point guard who was very uncomfortable playing in front of Leafs shine instantly.

After Artest came to Ye Si, the same effect was resurrected. His height was useful, and his strength and physical confrontation were also useful. No more wasting it!

On the defensive end, he can use his height to help Kobe Bryant cover Ye. On the offensive end, he can use his strength to fight against his height in singles. Yes, he consumes Yes!

Phil Jackson's fateful change of formation almost maximized the Lakers' lineup advantage!

Phil Jackson's change of formation liberated Kidd and maximized Kidd's role.

Kidd freed Artest, Ariza and Batum.

Artest also maximized his strength in front of Ye Si.

After Ariza and Batum were released, not only could they replace some of the duties of Kobe and Artest in the rotation, but they also had more energy to contribute to the bench lineup because their work became simpler and easier.

Originally, the Lakers' rotation was at a disadvantage, but in the sixth game, the Lakers' rotation was able to compete with the SuperSonics after Ariza and Batum's contributions increased!

Because of such a change as Phil Jackson.

The situation between the SuperSonics and the Lakers has undergone an earth-shaking reversal.

Not to mention the SuperSonics fans and the SuperSonics players and coaches were a little surprised.

Even Ye Si was quite surprised.

Originally, he really thought that Durant's training had reached its peak for the time being.

As long as Durant breaks through the blockade of Artest, Arizha Batum and others, in the finals, even if Durant is crushed by James, even if he is an ant, he is still an ant that can let James spend more energy. of ants.

Ye Si really didn't expect that strikers like Artest, Ariza and Batum would not be the final boss of Durant's level.

The final boss of Durant's level is actually Kidd!

A person and thing that Ye Si had never thought about.

Not to mention Ye Si, even Phil Jackson himself did not expect such an outstanding effect.

His desperate move in Game 6 was even called a godly move by many Los Angeles media!

A stroke of genius!

Because Artest and Ariza were moved in front of Durant to defend Durant, the Lakers were always worried that Yes's big sword could be chopped off at any time.

Not only does he no longer have to worry about Ye Si's big sword falling down with this hand, he can even put a sheath on this big sword that looks scary and is indeed scary!

After the sixth game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the SuperSonics' promotion support was 90%. After the game, the SuperSonics' promotion support was cut in half to 40%!

After Game 6 between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, most experts really changed their opinions.

Yes was taken care of by Artest and Kobe in turns and couldn't escape. Durant fell into the trap restricted by Kidd and couldn't escape.

Micic, the third point of the Sonics' offense, has always been evenly matched with Bynum, and the Sonics' other strong points can also be matched when facing the Lakers.

In the current situation, if it weren't for the Sonics' No. 9 who has been creating miracles and has a bottomless strength, I'm afraid the Lakers' promotion support rate would not be just 60%, maybe 90%.

90% is really a toxic support rate, especially on ESPN. Most of the teams with this support rate have been eliminated in the past three years.

As for what makes this data look toxic, of course it is the Sonics' No. 9.

Phil Jackson's constant gambling finally brought the Los Angeles Lakers, which were on the verge of despair, out.

This has greatly improved Phil Jackson's status in the Los Angeles Lakers.

It may be incredible to say.

Because the Lakers' boss is Kobe, this has led to Phil Jackson's status in the team not being that high even though he is the most successful head coach in the NBA, because of Kobe's constraints.

Not to mention comparing with Pat Riley, the most successful active head coach in the NBA, even Popovich can't compare!

Phil Jackson sometimes feels that with his achievements, it is really sad to have such a status in the Lakers.

Whenever I think of Kobe complaining about him with Lorenzo Romar in an interview, Phil Jackson is not only crying, but also quite sad.

And after the renaming in the sixth game, Phil Jackson found that his status in the Lakers has really improved!

Kobe, finally listened!

You know, when he asked Kobe to do something.

Kobe really refused directly without giving any face.

When he refused, he was very righteous.

"If Master Romar was the head coach of the Lakers, he would definitely not let me do such a thing!"

Listen, Phil Jackson couldn't even find a reason to refute at that time.

Damn, Master Romar certainly wouldn't let you do those things.

Yes, the style of play in the NCAA was even more vicious than that of the Black Mamba. Ordinary coaches would be directly pissed off. Didn't Master Romar still watch calmly with a smile?

But to be honest, there is only one Master Romar in the world.

Phil Jackson felt that his tolerance was very, very high.

Kobe always criticized him for not being as good as Master Romar here and there. He was very upset and sad, but he accepted it.

Master Romar is really strong, strong in all aspects. He has a system and tactics. He can train players, can lead strong players to bully weak teams, and can lead weak teams to bully strong teams. He is a perfect head coach and a model for basketball head coaches all over the world.

Otherwise, the US national team would not have lobbied Master Romar to take over the US team after inviting Popovich as the head coach, and it was blatant lobbying without even avoiding Popovich.

If the US national team invited an ordinary famous coach, such as him or other NCAA famous coaches, with Popovich's pride, he would have quit long ago.

Being someone else's backup?

Who do you think Popovich is? !

But this person is Master Romar!

Being a backup for Master Romar, neither he nor Popovich would feel ashamed.

Even many people are willing to be a backup for Master Romar, but they don't even have the chance to be a backup for Master Romar!

The peak of life!

After the sixth game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson had the illusion that his life was at its peak again because he suddenly got Kobe's recognition.

Damn, he didn't reach the peak of his life because he won the championship, but just because he solved the problems of Yes and Durant.

Looking at the newspapers and media that praised him, Phil Jackson's face was still very gratified.

He used to think that the championship was the highest pursuit of a head coach.

Only by winning the championship can the head coach get the greatest recognition.

Now, facing Kobe's recognition and the praise of the media around the world, Phil Jackson suddenly felt that for a head coach, the championship might not be the highest achievement.

Now, Phil Jackson can really understand a little bit why Master Romar keeps rejecting the Dream Team.

The championship is important for a head coach, but not that important.

He has coached in the NBA for so many years, and has won 9 championships as a head coach. What did he get?

He got nothing except nine championships.

Even his status in the NBA coaching world is not as good as that of old Nelson!

Old Nelson only has one championship!

He is even at the same level as Popovich, the registered disciple of old Nelson.

According to the previous NBA public opinion, if he continues to win championships in this way, he can't open the gap with Popovich, let alone 9 championships, 10, 11 championships, he is still at the same level as Popovich.

It is said that his championship is a championship that he deserves to win with the strongest team. Of course, he does not agree, but this is the human heart.

Phil Jackson was indignant before, but now he has some enlightenment.

The sense of achievement gained by changing one's fate with the attitude of a weak person is indeed no less than winning the championship.

This is his own sense of achievement, and the praise he gets from others is also not comparable to the championship.

In the three championships he won with the Lakers, Kobe felt that he and O'Neal had the greatest contribution.

Why should he make Kobe obedient?

But Kobe would not have such a feeling after the victory in the sixth game.

Now that Phil Jackson has realized it, all he has left is envy.

And the deep admiration for Master Romar.

He led the Lakers to reverse the fate of the Supersonics and gained such a great sense of achievement and recognition.

Then what kind of sense of achievement and honor would Master Romar have when he swept the NCAA with Curry, Green, Thompson, Isaiah Thomas, Spencer, Pondexter and other not-so-outstanding players?

When the University of Washington won the championship trophy this year and became the most successful team, how comfortable would Master Romar feel in his heart?

Such a champion is the greatest champion!

Compared with a champion like Master Romar who constantly beats the strong with the weak and changes his fate in every game, winning the Olympic championship with the Dream Team is nothing!

Not to mention the championship that is set in stone like the Dream Team.

Even if his nine championships are added together, the sense of achievement is not as good as the one that Master Romar won this year!

That is a championship that is enshrined in the gods!

"The Seattle Supersonics boarded the special plane to Los Angeles, and Master Romar was on the list!"

Looking at this report mixed in with the newspapers that praised him in his hand.

Phil Jackson's face was even a little flushed with excitement.

Is Master Romar now the special advisor for the Seattle Supersonics in Game 7?

The next game will be a duel between him, Master Romar and Old Nelson? !

"What an honor!"

He can actually play against Old Nelson and Master Romar, the two highest-ranking head coaches in the NCAA and NBA, in a game!

This is a challenge, but also an opportunity!

As long as he wins the next game, his historical status will be improved more than the bonus brought by the previous nine championships!

If he beats the Heat again this season, this championship will also be his title of godhood!

The tenth NBA championship!

The best head coach in NBA history!

The opportunity is right in front of him!

This is a historic opportunity!

"Yes, what did Master Romar just say to you and Nelson?"

"Is he really a special consultant invited by the team?"

"..."

Yes didn't know how to answer.

Even the Sonics players themselves believed it.

How did the American media notice Romar, and why didn't they notice that Curry and other University of Washington players were on their special plane?

This game was nothing to him.

But it was really tense, exciting, and dangerous for the people in Seattle and those related to him. No matter Romar or Curry, how could they not come to support him on the spot in such a game.

Yes looked at Durant's figure in front of him and sighed in his heart.

He really just wanted to train Durant.

A commercial coach in the NBA defeated the strongest academic coach in the history of the NCAA...

Unexpectedly, it made such a big fuss, giving Phil Jackson a chance to become the best head coach in NBA history and a chance to become a god...
