On November 16, the Lakers hosted the Knicks, which was the focus of this round and was broadcast live across the United States.

There is a big gap in the strength of the two teams, the Lakers won 7 in a row, the Knicks won 2-5, and in one of the games, Marbury also hit a killer shot, narrowly beating the Trail Blazers by one point.

When the league arranged the schedule, it didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between the two teams. Even so, the game still attracted the attention of the majority of fans, because many people speculated that Yao Ming would break out this time.

The Knicks delayed Yao Ming for two years, and Yao Ming only scolded his old club once last season, not to mention the parties, even the fans felt that it was not enough.

When the players on both sides played, the Lakers fans didn't boo the Knicks, and some gave Phil Jackson a round of applause, but Jackson wasn't happy at all. Ever since he arrived in Los Angeles, he has had a strong sense of foreboding that something is going to happen today. With the urine nature that Yang Rui has shown over the years, he will definitely not let go of the Knicks led by him easily.

When Larry Brown was there, Yang Rui helped Yao Ming play super stats, and Jackson suspected that Yang Rui would repeat his old tricks. Even if Yang Rui didn't help Yao Ming arrange tactics, he would arrange it for Kobe, he had a conflict with Kobe Bryant at the beginning, and said that Kobe Bryant could not be adjusted.

Last season, Jackson was at home, and Bryant didn't have a chance to prove himself. In the 2003-2004 season, he coached the Lakers and was in the same league as Kobe, and Kobe Bryant was probably holding back his strength.

Jackson knows how serious Kobe's obsessive-compulsive disorder is, even if he has won all his personal honors, even if the Lakers were the championship last season, he will want to perform well and repay it.

After the last game, a reporter interviewed Kobe, and he even bluntly said that Jackson was not as good as Yang Rui and was very faceless.

Both of them are head coaches with tens of millions of annual salaries, the highest paid coach in the league, Yang Rui is everyone's service, Jackson has not proven himself worth so much money in the Knicks, today's game is very critical for him, even if he loses, he can't lose ugly.

If Jackson leads the team to lose worse than last season after a big change in the summer, the media will definitely not say anything good about him, and he will lose his reputation for a lifetime.

What's worse is that in the lineup competition, the Knicks are at an absolute disadvantage, and it is impossible to win against the Lakers. After playing seven games, Jackson somewhat regretted choosing Andrew Bynum, a high school center, his personality is too rough, his skills are not good, and he can't be reused for the time being, if he chooses Fry, at least he is an instant combat force.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Jackson's attitude towards Bynum was very contradictory, he liked it when he was drafted, he hated it for a while after he was drafted, and then he quit, Bynum became a star starter under Mike Brown, and Jackson supported Bynum again, thinking he was good and an excellent center.

Jackson's contradictions are caused by his coaching style, and his tactics strongly rely on the individual abilities of the team's superstars, so he likes Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal on the inside, and Gasol with a full range of skills. But Bynum, who is not the top on both offensive and defensive ends, and does not average 20 points per game at his peak, is only a second-rate star.

Jackson is only good at playing a good deck of cards, not at playing the ordinary cards in his hand.

Now the Knicks don't have any good cards for him to play, even if Marbury, the core point guard, is an ordinary All-Star rather than a superstar, and Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming can't be compared. As for Ben Wallace, he was a blue-collar in Jackson's eyes and would never have a strategy for him.

Big Ben played an average of 35 minutes per game, and his stats dropped to 6.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks.

After the warm-up, players from both sides came out.

Lakers starters: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rashid, Yao Ming.

Knicks starters: Marbury, Hughes, Richardson, Antonio Davis, Ben Wallace.

When he first signed, Jackson had high hopes for Radmanovic and gave him high praise: "He doesn't have to be our scorer. He's got a good run and he's going to create more space for the other players. ”

As a result, after the preseason, Radmanovic shot 37.2% from three-point range and could only score 8 points. As a 208cm big man, he plays small forward with slow lateral movement speed, poor defense breakover, and is too soft to play big forward, unable to grab rebounds and can't carry people, so he can only float on the perimeter and shoot three-pointers. This kind of non-chagrinous forward, if he can score like Stojakovic, is fine, but it is difficult for him to average a double in points per game.

After consulting with the assistant coaches, Jackson put Radmanovic on the bench.

Yao Ming and Big Ben jumped to win, and the game began and the players pulled away.

Yang Rui arranged Yao Ming to attack as the core, preparing to use a big victory to widen the distance between Jackson and himself.

Jackson is a famous coach, he got 6 championship rings as a coach, and his results are second only to Auerbach.

The weakness of the Knicks is obvious, the two interior lines are not tall, Davis does not even have weight, he is 206cm tall, only 98 kilograms, and he plays by mobility. He is a player born in '68 and is 37 years old this year, and he is close to retirement, and his mobility has deteriorated.

Such a veteran can start, not only because he has a shot, but also because he protects the rebound ball better than Radmanovic. And the other interior Ocella Hanington can't open up the space, and with Big Ben, the Knicks can't break the joint defense at all.

In this case, Yao Ming can definitely play, no matter who plays singles, he has an advantage.

Before the game, Yang Rui deliberately did ideological work for Kobe, Kobe Bryant definitely wants to win the MVP, naturally hopes that the data will be more beautiful, the MVP list is behind Yao Ming, and media analysis said that Yao Ming is the core of the Lakers' tactics, Kobe Bryant is also a little uncomfortable.

But Yang Rui arranged for Yao Ming to play more, and Kobe Bryant didn't dare to do it. This kind of coach who can lead the team to win the championship and help stars brush up on data is not easy to find with a lantern.

Kobe Bryant will not fall out with Yang Rui, but he just shows his attitude and hopes to have more shots when playing the right team. The right team refers to a team like the Rockets last season. Yang Rui had thought so for a long time, and of course he would agree to Kobe's request.

Kobe Bryant first and Yao Ming ran without the ball, received a pass from Rashid on the right side, and threatened with three faces, and the main defender was Larry Hughes.

Kobe Bryant has an advantage in height and weight, and he easily hoisted Yao Ming to the right side of the 45-degree low position to ask for the ball.

Yao Ming leaned on the big book twice, no one was wrapping him, his right shoulder shook slightly, turned to the bottom line and hooked his hand, dodged the cover, and scored a cricket. 2 to 0.

People can see that Yao is very easy to pick, Barkley smiled: "Ben Wallace won the best defensive player and entered the All-Star Game, but he is not Yao Ming's opponent at all, he was beaten by Yao Ming once last season, and he didn't even make the best defensive team in the end." This game will be a test for him, once it can be said that it is accidental, and if it is exploded again, I am afraid that he will collapse. ”

Kenny Smith said: "Ben is a bit overrated, he's short enough to shoot, he's almost useless on the offensive end. Larry Brown struggled to develop his offense and ultimately failed to put him in a double-double in a single season. ”

Barkley laughed: "No team has ever asked Brown to develop blue-collar interior offense anymore, and Jerry ended his coaching career. ”

It's no exaggeration to say that Larry Brown's reputation has dropped so much that almost everyone thinks he's one of the most overrated coaches in the NBA.

In Yang Rui's previous life, after Iverson retired, he once expressed regret in an interview that he did not listen to Brown at the beginning, and staged a drama of master-apprentice love. Iverson may not have said good things about Brown in this life, and some fans of the 76ers said that Brown delayed Iverson to win the championship, although this is nonsense.
