God of NBA point guards

Chapter 543 Jordan’s Guidance Effect
Jerry Buss said: "Kobe is still not as good as Iverson now, right?"

Jerry West said: "Yes, he may not be as good as Allen Iverson now, but he is only 22 years old, 3 years younger than Iverson, and he will catch up.

Boss, what I actually mean is that Kobe can only be compared with Iverson. If you compare Kobe and the Iron Fist King together, it is unnecessary and very unfair.

The current Iron Fist King is even more terrifying than before he retired. His experience, skills, and physical fitness have all reached their peak.

After winning the NBA dynasty and the unified heavyweight boxing title, his self-confidence may have reached a level that we simply cannot understand.

Such incredibly strong self-confidence can even allow an ordinary player to achieve All-Star status, let alone the Iron Fist King?

Such a person is simply not something that the current Kobe can compete with, so he scored 65 points in three quarters on Kobe's head. Kobe only scored 4 points in the three quarters. I think it's not that Kobe's performance was bad, but that his performance was too much. powerful. "

Jerry Buss was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "You're right, Jerry, it's not that we are too weak, but that King of Iron Fist is too strong.

So Jerry, what are you going to do?We can't just do nothing and wait to be swept out by King of Iron Fist, right?If that happens, you and I will be criticized by the media and fans. "

Jerry West understood the meaning of this sentence. If the Lakers are swept and the Lakers are criticized by public opinion, then someone will take the blame. Of course, this person cannot be the boss, nor can he be the OK team, he can only be Him, or Phil Jackson.

Judging from Jerry Buss's attitude just now, Phil Jackson should be inclined to take the blame, which makes him relieved.

"How about boss, let Erwin serve as an assistant coach in the G4 game?" he asked tentatively.

"You figure it out." Old Bass said this and hung up the phone.

"Ugh!"

After the call ended, Bass Sr. and Jerry West on both ends sighed in unison, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew they felt a little sorry for Phil Jackson, after all, he was not a small person, but they felt there was nothing wrong.

Although Phil Jackson led the Bulls to four championships, he was swept last year after coming to the Lakers, and he is about to be swept again today. This result cannot be achieved. If he doesn't take the blame, who will?

Soon, Jerry West had a phone call with Magic Johnson and said seriously: "Ervin, get ready, you will serve as the team's assistant coach in the next game."

"what?"

Magic Johnson was shocked and suddenly asked me to join the coaching staff. What did the management want to do?Let me take over for Phil Jackson?

Jerry West continued: "I will announce this decision to the media immediately. The team has lost three games in a row and the coaching staff must be strengthened."

Magic Johnson understood and quickly asked: "What about next season?"

"I would look for another head coach."

Jerry West said directly without leaving the Magician with any thoughts.

"..."

Magic Johnson was so angry that he had a stomach ache. Would it kill anyone if he asked me to be the head coach for one season?Kareem is already an assistant coach with the Clippers, I can't fall behind him.

Jerry West knew the magician's little thoughts and comforted him: "Ervin, I have discussed it with my boss and am going to do some research and build a statue for you in the Staples Center."

"Really?"

Magic Johnson instantly went crazy with joy.

The Sonics erected a statue of the Iron Fist King. He had been looking forward to this day since the day the Staples Center was completed. However, the management and boss never did it, and he was not easy to ask.

Soon after, Phil Jackson was notified.

"Ah!"

He knew that he had been given up by the Lakers. The intention of the Lakers management was very obvious when he inserted Magic.

The Lakers did not give up in the Western Conference Finals and were not willing to be swept. They used Magic to strengthen the coaching team.But the management no longer believes in his coaching ability, and Magic may take his place.

Through this move, the Lakers want to guide public opinion. The reason why the Lakers lost three consecutive games is due to his poor command and the coaching team. He must bear the responsibility for the Lakers' defeat.

"West, you are so cunning!"

Originally, he hoped to use the OK combination to win the championship, and then strive for greater power in the Lakers, and even steal Jerry West's general manager position. Now all plans have failed, making him very disappointed, and he will not Those who should come to the Lakers should retire immediately after winning the last championship like Jordan did.

However, he now feels a sense of relief, because he finally no longer has to face the Iron Fist King. The Iron Fist King last night gave him a daunting feeling.

That kind of terror was not caused by the King of Iron Fist's 65 points in three quarters, but the power of the King of Iron Fist who scored 65 points while preventing Kobe Bryant from scoring only 4 points. It was also caused by the King of Iron Fist's explosive scoring of 50+60+ in three consecutive games.

He remembered that the King of Iron Fist had said before that sleep could lead to a better state. He didn't really believe it before, but now he does, because no one in history has been able to score 50+ points in three consecutive games in a series.

Half an hour later, at [-] a.m., the Lakers announced that Magic would serve as the team's assistant coach.

This news was quickly interpreted in various ways by the media. Not to mention Phil Jackson's speculation, most of the interpretations were not very friendly to him.

The Los Angeles TV Sports Channel said in the midday sports news: "Coach Phil Jackson has met the Iron Fist King's team in the playoffs six times since 92, with 2 wins and 4 losses, which even put the Iron Fist King on the Bulls' head. After completing three consecutive championship dynasties, plus the current Western Conference Finals, it is almost certain to be 2 wins and 5 losses, with a series winning rate of only 28.57%.

What does this mean?It shows that coach Phil Jackson can't beat the team where the Iron Fist King is, whether it is the Pistons or the SuperSonics, he can't beat it.

The Lakers management brought in Phil Jackson in the summer of 98. They were swept last season and will be swept again this season, so it was a mistake and now is the time to correct it. "

"Zen Master is very unlucky. You shouldn't have come to the Lakers. How about retiring with Jordan?" Zhou Quan just got up, turned on the TV and saw the news, and couldn't help laughing.

"Beep."

At this time, the phone sounded a text message alert. He picked up the phone and looked at it. Roger Philippe sent a text message asking him if he was up. He was outside.

He went over and opened the door, and saw Philip holding a tray with some bread, milk, apple, steak, salad, etc. on it.

"Good morning, Roger. Mine? Thanks!"

"Good morning, Zhou."

Philip handed the tray to Zhou Quan and said with a smile: "You know, the season is almost over, and Amru and the others can't hold it in anymore. They want to arrange a boxing match for you. Are you interested?"

Zhou Quan put breakfast on the table and said as he walked to the bathroom: "I don't have time, I have to deal with the finals with all my strength."

"Whether it's the Heat or the Pacers, there should be no problem, right?" Phillip said leaning against the bathroom door.

Zhou Quan said while letting go: "There should be no big problems, but we can't be careless. There are also the Olympic Games, which are very important to me, more important than the championship."

"Okay, forget it this year." Phillip nodded.He thought for a while and then said: "Zhou, I remember that your country won the silver medal in the last Olympics. Are you very interested in the Olympic champion?"

"Of course, who is not interested in Olympic champions?" Zhou Quan said.

"Then let me ask you about the lineup of Dream Team Four." Philip said.

"OK."

……

At ten o'clock, Jordan went to a restaurant in the hotel, ordered breakfast, and then asked the waiter to bring some newspapers.

"Shet!"

When I saw the New York Times, I was so angry that I cursed.

"These bastard media!"

He flipped through other newspapers, and several newspapers were ridiculing his coaching effect on Kobe, and even gave him a name, Jordan's coaching effect. This made him angry, and he vowed never to coach others again, otherwise he would lose. He missed the ball and it's his fault again.

"Forget it, let's not watch the Western Conference Finals."

He threw down the newspaper and called David Falk and asked him to book a flight for him. He wanted to rush back to Washington and settle the Wizards' matters first.

"Zhou, I got some information about Dream Team Four."

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Roger Philippe came to the hotel again to find Zhou Quan, and the two had afternoon tea together in the restaurant.

"The list has not been finalized yet. This is a list of invitations issued by the Basketball Association. Some people have agreed, and some have not yet agreed."

"Let me see."

Zhou Quan took the list and looked at it.

The coach is Tomjanovich, and the player list includes centers O'Neal (undecided), Mourning, and David Robinson (undecided), power forwards Garnett, McDyess, Vin Baker, and Rasheed Wallace (undecided). Small forwards Grant Hill (undecided), Vince Carter, Sharif Rahim, shooting guards Iverson (undecided), Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant (undecided), Alan Houston, Steve Smith, point guard Gary Payton , Jason Kidd, Tim Hardaway.

"The undecided thing is that they haven't agreed yet?" After looking at the list, he raised his head and asked.

Philip said: "This is an invitation list at the end of April. Some of these undecided people must have rejected the Dream Team's call, and maybe some have agreed. The new list has not yet come out."

Zhou Quan nodded and said with a smile: "O'Neal will definitely not participate, he has already won the 94 World Championships and the 96 Olympic Games.

David Robinson, two Olympic champions from Dream Team [-] and Dream Team [-] is enough. There is a high probability that he will not join Dream Team [-] again.

If the two of them don't join the Dream Team [-], then the Dream Team's only center will be Mourning. They will have to use power forwards as substitutes, and their inside strength will only be that much.Power forward, Rasheed Wallace?Don't quite understand this guy's intentions. "

Philip said: "Zhou, this Roaring God is actually quite suitable for you. He was also selected as an All-Star this year, but he is very troublesome. This season, he broke the historical records of Barkley and Rodman, with 38 technical fouls."

Zhou Quan smiled and continued: "The power forward, Garnett, has the strength of a top star, while the other two can only be considered second-rate.

Mourning and Garnett started inside. The defense was very strong, and the offense... was okay.But the substitute lineup is average. Vin Baker and McDyess are, well, really average. "

He thought about the center lineup of his men's basketball team, including Da Zhi, Battelle, and Yao Ming. No matter which one faced Mourning, he still had an advantage in height.

Then he analyzed: "At the third position, Grant Hill has the gold medal of the Dream Team Three. He did not immediately agree to be called up before, and there is a high probability that he will not join.

The small forwards only have Vince Carter and Raheem, who are average in strength. Even if Grant Hill is added, it is not a first-rate configuration, probably above second-rate.

No. [-], Iverson, I can't say.Kobe... probably won't participate. This guy won't admit defeat. Maybe he will start practicing more on the second day of the Western Conference Finals.

If he doesn't participate, there will only be Ray Allen, Alan Houston and Steve Smith at the second position, so just so-so.Even if Iverson is added, his offensive efficiency, well, actually I hope he joins the Dream Team. "

"Ha ha……"

Philip laughed, and then said: "There is no need to analyze the No. [-] position, it won't work for anyone."

"That is."

Zhou Quan nodded naturally.

He feels that the strength of the Dream Team [-] is not luxurious, and there is not even a super giant. Compared with the Dream Team [-], this is the civilian version of the Dream Team.

There is no one who has the final say inside. Garnett and Mourning's offense is average. They have no ability to attack in the low post and are strong in defense.

The back line is okay, with three-pointers, breakthroughs and defense.

But the back line on his side is not bad either. He and Lao Hu team up, I believe it is stronger than any back line combination of the Dream Team Four.

As for the third position, the Dream Team [-] only has one Raheem, and Vince Kass is considered a swingman. Both of them are not considered to be top-notch in strength.

Taking into account the entire perimeter, the Chinese men's basketball team has no disadvantages.

After some analysis, he felt that he had a chance to play this year.

……

That night, the Pacers pulled one back on the road and tied the Eastern Conference Finals at [-]-[-].

Losing a key game was a huge mistake for the Heat, because if they had won the G4 game, the Heat would have gotten the match point three to one.

Gary Payton complained in an interview with the media after the game: "The outside world pays too little attention to us. Everyone is paying attention to the Western Conference Finals. No one is watching the Eastern Conference Finals and there is no media coverage. This is not good for us and the Pacers. fair."

"Glove, do you mean that the Heat lost the G4 game because the outside world paid too little attention to you?" the reporter asked.

Gary Payton snorted: "Too little attention will lead to players lacking excitement during the game. I'm not talking nonsense. We also have a desire to perform."

"Gary, you have announced your participation in the Olympics, which means you may compete with the Iron Fist King at the Olympics. Are you looking forward to it?" another reporter asked.

"I heard that the Chinese men's basketball team didn't even qualify for the World Championships last time. Can they participate in this year's Olympics?" Gary Payton asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes." The reporter replied briefly.

Gary Payton immediately said: "Then I want to congratulate the Iron Fist King. This is not easy."
