"Uncle KFC is so awesome!" When Liu Mang was doing physical therapy, he couldn't help but say when he thought of the Zen Master decisively giving up the game in the fourth quarter.

"Uncle KFC? Ace, aren't you the endorser of McDonald's?" Rasheed Wallace next to him asked curiously.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless and sighed: "Rashid, who do you think that KFC logo looks like?"

"KFC's logo... Oh! You are talking about the Zen Master. He is indeed very powerful. But Ace, if you say he is Uncle KFC, he will definitely hate you. He is also a petty person." Rashid Walai

Shi knew the Zen Master very well. After all, he was the coach of his opponent in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals. That year, Mike Dunleavy was fooled around by the Zen Master. He was so impressed.

The nickname of Zen Master Phil Jackson in the United States is also called Zen Master. This nickname originally came to China from the United States. Phil Jackson is very interested in Chinese religion and talks about it when he is coaching. With this

nickname.

Some people's performance on the court is very smart, but their judgment of the entire situation is very average. He is talking about Rasheed Wallace. Liu Mang feels that talking to him about this kind of thing is really wrong.

Fortunately, someone took over the conversation at this time. Stockton, the last Hawks player who came for a massage after icing, came over and said: "Master Jackson is indeed very powerful. He has already judged that the players under him can no longer play in this game."

, so we let them rest for one more period. In the second half of the third quarter, we did not force Karl and the others to play defense. Instead, we let them feel the feeling of being abused on the spot, which can stimulate them. We cannot be careless, otherwise their today

, that’s what we have to do tomorrow.”

"Yes, we have to be prepared. The key thing is in the fifth game!" Liu Mang agreed.

Rasheed Wallace listened to the two tactical commanders chatting and simply did not interrupt. He was very smart. Smart people often know what they are good at and what they are not good at. This is what he is not good at, so he is not good at it.

Say something of your own that may affect the judgment of two people.

Liu Mang was discussing the fifth game with Stockton. The Eagles coaching staff had already gone back to the hotel for a meeting...

…

On the other side, the Lakers locker room, they declined all interviews today.

1 to 3, we have reached the edge of the cliff.

The Lakers could no longer remain calm. Even when they were 0-2, they were still confident, so Zen Master could easily mobilize their enthusiasm and gave the Eagles a head-on blow in the third game.

But now the Lakers, four finals since the 21st century, feel fear for the first time!

Kobe and O'Neal were arguing when they returned to the locker room.

"Am I fighting for the boss? Of course, I am fighting for the boss so that I can be a real boss. You are not worthy at all!" Kobe shouted at O'Neal.

"I'm not worthy? Are you worthy? Tell me what makes me unworthy of being the boss?" O'Neal asked.

"When that happened to me, did you say a word to me? Is this something done by a man who called himself my boss when I entered the NBA?" Kobe yelled.

The Zen master on the side watched the two people arguing and did not try to persuade them. He just sat like that. Hearing Kobe's words, he really had a headache. This guy is really a petty person. One thing made all the people who should "bear grudges" bear grudges.

Up.

However, the Zen Master will pretend to take responsibility, and his salary will not be reduced anyway, but O'Neal is different. O'Neal directly said: "Have you ever asked me for help? You are not with us usually, how do we know?

What happened to you? You didn't invite us to the wedding ceremony when you got married. You didn't even care when my child was born. You are never gregarious. How can I know what you really think? Don't you know what you said yourself?

What do you mean, I did the same thing, but got more money?"

"Isn't it? I have seen you use money to solve the same problem. Have you ever told me how to solve the problem in other ways? I have been playing with you and I have the opportunity to find others to tell me.

How to solve these problems?" Kobe yelled.

"I thought you could solve everything by yourself, didn't you? You are always the one to solve your own problems. You have never asked for my help. I once tried to help you, but you were always thinking about your own problems.

question!"

As soon as O'Neill said this, both of them fell silent.

Seeing this scene, the Zen Master understood that maybe both of them understood what the other was thinking at this moment.

Seeing the two silent people, the Zen master guessed that maybe they were recalling the good times they had had.

However, everything is irreversible.

However, this is no longer important to Zen Master. The most important thing for Zen Master now is that he cannot lose any of the next games. If he loses another game, his Lakers coaching career will definitely be ruined.

It was over. From the moment he finished the first game, he felt that both O and K were dissatisfied with him to the limit.

Everyone is taking advantage of each other, and Zen Master has no guilt. Now there is no dispute between O and K about the game that just ended. This is the best situation for Zen Master.

It's not the conflict caused by losing, nor the conflict caused by Kobe's independence, but the conflict caused by Kobe's independence. Both of them understand that working together can win, and that can be reconciled, and this is exactly what Zen Master is as the head coach.

The strongest point.

The entire locker room was very quiet. After a while, seeing that both of them had nothing to say, the Zen Master said, "Let's finish the argument."

Kobe and O'Neal looked at the Zen Master at the same time, and the Zen Master clearly saw a look called "untrustworthy" in their eyes, which further confirmed his idea.

Ignoring the looks in their eyes, the Zen master continued: "No matter which of you can't wait to win the championship MVP, it doesn't matter. Now we may not have that opportunity for you to win the MVP. If you want to let yourself have

If you have a chance to win the MVP, then just listen to me."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Zen master spoke in an uncharacteristically aggressive manner, deliberately showing his presence, causing the two people to divert the attention of their hatred to himself. Anyway, he didn't care so much and lost a hundred dollars.

He 100% lost this coaching position, but if he won, he guessed that it wouldn't be much better. Even if the two men reconciled, they probably wouldn't be able to tolerate him. So, for him now, what do Kobe and O'Neal think of him?

He doesn't care at all. To him, the championship is the key to getting a big contract.

Just as Zen Master expected, although Kobe and O'Neal no longer trust him, they have no doubts about his coaching ability.

"Go back and have a good rest today, and have a good rest tomorrow morning as well. See you tomorrow afternoon." After finishing speaking, the Zen Master left the dressing room first.

Kobe and O'Neal looked at each other, said nothing, and left one after another...

…

…

"Wow, Carlos, it's so lively in Los Angeles today! Do you think that's Lord of the Rings?" Liu Mang asked Boozer next to him.

"Well, it's Lord of the Rings. Ace, look over there, the Jewish boss is here too." Boozer bumped Liu Mang's shoulder and said.

"Oh, that's right, they are here to award us the O'Brien Cup!" Liu Mang said with a smile.

"I think so. Let's go first, so as not to cause trouble if they see him." Despite his rough appearance, Boozer's head is not foggy. He is worried that Liu Mang loves to show off and cause some trouble.

Liu Mang was dragged out of the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills by Boozer.

Today is June 14th, the rest day between the fourth and fifth games of the finals.

The Eagles held a team meeting at ten o'clock in the morning. The main thing was to emphasize that they should not be careless after a big win.

However, Liu Mang and Stockton have already reminded their teammates, and they don't need to be reminded that if they win one more game, they will be the championship. No one will relax, and everyone will have high morale.

After the team meeting, Liu Mang was prohibited from practicing again. The coaching staff did not want any accidents to occur due to training. There was nothing to practice in one day. The two teams had already fully understood all the other's tactics. In the past four games,

The games have proved one thing very well, that is, when both teams perform normally, they are evenly matched in strength. The key to victory or defeat lies in the mentality of the players.

For the Eagles, the most important thing is to maintain their own style of play and not be like in the third game, when unexpected situations arise and they deny themselves the preparations they made from the beginning. That's enough.

Because the Eagles are the "underdogs", they didn't have so many intrigues from the beginning. Just like the OK team before they won the first championship, they were all working together for the championship.

So, Liu Mang and Boozer came out to hang out together. Barnes was not with them, so Liu Mang was missing a right guardian, and it felt a little weird.

Because Liu Mang said, "Be careful of the guy from Milan who gets angry and wants to fight", Barnes went to practice boxing.

Liu Mang and Boozer were walking around, and when they walked to the fountain outside the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, they saw the people from the Alliance coming here.

During the trip, Liu Mang and Boozer also saw many luxury cars driving on the roads of Beverly Hills, and they easily understood that Los Angeles was very lively today.

In the previous two games, although many foreign tourists came to Los Angeles to watch the games, the hotels in Beverly Hills were still very expensive, and not many people stayed here. But now it is the match point, and the hotels in Beverly Hills are still very expensive.

The hotel was also overcrowded.

Several villas at the Beverly Hills Hilton Four Seasons Plaza Hotel where the Eagles are playing have been occupied by Eagles stars. However, this time many stars with whom Liu Mang was close did not come to watch the game, and Jordan did not come either. Jordan is now in

To prepare for the next most important thing for the new team, which is the draft, selecting players from each team, etc., the Bobcats got the No. 4 pick. This is not a particularly good pick. They just passed the 2003 class.

In the big year of the draft, the draft resources in 2004 were relatively poor. As the small owner and the team's CEO, Jordan had many things to do.

As for McGrady, Iverson and others, after watching the Hawks sweep the Nets, they were already traveling or busy with business activities.

Liu Mang and Boozer walked around and saw more and more people. The security guard who followed them reminded them that it was time to go back to the hotel, so they had no choice but to go back together.

…

Countless Liu Mang fans from Atlanta, Georgia and many cities in the United States came to Los Angeles, and many fans from China and Asia also came to Los Angeles to support Liu Mang and the Hawks.

This has caused Los Angeles County, surrounding cities in Los Angeles County, and even relatively distant cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, and San Diego to enter the tourist season because of this fifth game.

After 20 years, in addition to the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, and Spurs, a new championship is finally possible. At this moment, in addition to Lakers fans, basketball fans all over the world are Eagles fans.

, all want to see the Noble Team fall.

Because of this situation, police stations in almost all parts of California are extremely busy. They are calling the new governor everywhere to complain about the lack of police force and the need for military support...

The most problematic thing is that in bars everywhere, fights between Lakers fans and non-Lakers fans occur from time to time.

The happiest thing about all of this is probably the group of people at the NBA headquarters, especially David Stern. They saw that all sports news was occupied by Game 5 of the Finals, and they were doing things from China.

According to the news he got there, the NBA atmosphere in China has reached its peak, and he seemed to see the door to the Chinese market opening further!
