Chapter 268 [Perfect construction, win the championship]

Commentator Mike Brin couldn't take it any longer. "Why didn't Jackson call a timeout? The Raptors' offense was too smooth, and the Lakers should make adjustments."

Walter Fraser said with a smile: "I also don't like to call a timeout. The coaches of the two teams are still different. As long as the players are not playing well, Jerry Young will adjust in time. He called a timeout after only 2 minutes in the opening game. Jackson has always disliked calling a timeout, whether he is leading or trailing."

Brin nodded: "Jackson won five championships in the Bulls, but his coaching ability is often questioned. People suspect that he is relying on stars. In this series, the Lakers cannot beat the Raptors by relying on triangle offense."

Other radio commentators compared the coaches of the two sides and generally believed that Yang Rui was better than Jackson.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss watched the game live and felt that a timeout should be called.He began to wonder, can Jackson help the Lakers win the championship?

Some fans posted on the Internet to discuss the game. Many Lakers fans felt that Jackson was inferior to Yang Rui, which was one of the reasons why the Lakers could not beat the Raptors.

What kind of coach is a "Zen Master"?In the eyes of many fans, for most of the time on the sidelines, he behaved incomprehensibly and without passion.

Many times, the Lakers are faced with a situation where the lead is overtaken or the lagging behind is a mess. It is rare to see Jackson calling a timeout at such a moment and then spit at the players who are not in good shape on the court.

He occasionally calls a timeout, and the timing seems to be incomprehensible to the fans. Often, at inexplicable moments, he will insist on using some old players whose legs and feet seem to have been out of whack.

For example, in this series, AC Green, who was beaten by O'Neal in various backs, and Glen Rice, who let Carter play.

Lakers fans are going crazy, why did he let an old guy who would be passed by his opponent like a stake stand on the court as a stake?

Jackson always seemed mysterious on the sidelines, seemed to be thinking about some esoteric philosophical issues, but seemed to pay no attention to the situation on the court, and many anxious fans thought he was playing 13.

In fact, Jackson is a "constructive coach."He's good at building teams, putting together tactically appropriate stars to build a championship team.If he doesn't have any signings or draft rights, he won't be able to play well.

The triangle offense is perfect for a team with a top superstar, ensuring that the team's top superstar is in the right position to form a one-on-one with the opponent, a pack of the ball is released for an easy shot, or another star is one-on-one again. .

The triangle offense is such an amazing tactic.Jackson likes to say everything that needs to be said before the game, and then develop the player's personal ability and adapt to the situation.Therefore, the psychological quality of Jackson's players is particularly strong, and they can often complete reversals or lore, instead of being overwhelmed at critical moments and relying on the head coach.

So, Jackson is not as weak as a lot of people think, he is a super coach.

However, now that Jackson has met the biggest opponent in his life, Yang Rui is also a constructive coach, and a perfect constructive coach.

The Lakers are only arranging tactics around two stars. The role players are of average strength and there are not many shooting points. It is feasible for the opponent to double-team O'Neal and Kobe Bryant at a certain time.

And the Raptors have too many attack points, even if all the stars have not reached their peak, five second-rate teams are not comparable to other teams, and at least two points per game have an advantage in a heads-up.

Jackson didn't call a timeout today, he didn't believe in the "OK combination", and he wasn't pretending to be 13, but he couldn't think of an idea to prevent the Raptors' offense, and he called it for nothing, so he just had to rely on the players to solve it.

Relying on O'Neal's storm in the first half, the Lakers could still bite the score.

In the second half, Yang Rui replaced Miller to rest, and the inside line took turns to start wrestling with the Sharks. O'Neal's free throw was not ready to play, and the Lakers' offensive rhythm was also disrupted.

O'Neal fell into a vicious circle where the more he was afraid of free throws, the more he could not make free throws. The entire series was quashed, which was worse than the 52% shooting rate in the regular season. O'Neal who missed the penalty was nothing to be afraid of.

Kobe Bryant can score, but his hit rate is still not high. With Tracy McGrady and Christie's strict guard, he can't get an easy shot.

In this quarter, O'Neal Jr. had the upper hand against AC Green. He made all 5 shots and scored 2 points on 2 of 12 free throws.

After three quarters, the Raptors led 88-71, and the Lakers had little hope of winning.

In the final quarter, Boykins, who came off the bench, once again became a spoiler. Whenever the Lakers had the momentum to chase points, he used sharp breakthroughs, shots or points to press down.

O'Neal was too tired, the Raptors center gave Boykins a pick and roll, he couldn't keep up, and he was in a dilemma.

The Lakers couldn't get the power forward to switch to the pick-and-roll, limit Boykins, and O'Neal was out of position when playing O'Neal.

Carter and McGrady attracted Kobe and Fox's two strong points of perimeter defense, reducing their shots. Teammates formed a new attacking connection on the weak side, giving the Lakers a fatal blow.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Raptors led by 26 points and entered garbage time.

Jackson replaced the main force in advance, and the Raptors also sent a full bench.When Carter came off, he was applauded by the away fans.

卡特这场拿到24分3篮板5助攻，场均25.5分5.3篮板4助攻1抢断0.5盖帽，投篮命中率46.2%，三分命中率40%，肯定会当选总决赛MVP。

小奥尼尔场均18.3分9.5篮板1助攻2盖帽；麦迪场均20.7分5篮板5.5助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Billups and Miller also averaged double figures in scoring, and each played well in two games.

Unlike the Raptors' multi-point blooming, the Lakers only have three players in double figures, and Rice has only 10.7 points.

奥尼尔季后赛打出恐怖数据，场均38.5分15.3篮板2助攻0.5抢断2.5盖帽，命中率61.8%，但39%的罚球命中率降低了他的效率。

Kobe Bryant averaged 21.1 shots per game, second on the team, shooting 41.6% from the field, 28.7% from three-point range, and only scored 20.6 points, with an average of less than one point per shot.

Zhang reasonable commented: "Yang Rui did not eat snacks on the road, but he gave the Lakers the greatest respect. Before the season, Yang Rui shouted the slogan of winning the championship. No one would have thought that they would win so easily."

Sun Zhengping said: "Many teams will definitely regret that they did not offer a high salary to Yang Rui as their coach in 1998."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Raptors have created another historical record. In the entire history of the NBA, no team has ever achieved a complete victory in the playoffs, even the Bulls Dynasty, the Lakers Dynasty, and the Celtics Dynasty. Didn't do it."

Boykins also made two layups in garbage time, and Hornacek also hit a three-pointer, and the difference continued to widen.The Lakers' backups were like lost souls, not cooperating at all, just fighting.

Kobe and O'Neal sat on the sidelines together, with some inexplicable things in their eyes, staring blankly at the court.

Since the two teamed up in 96, the Lakers have played 4 season finals, been swept three times, and once 4-1. The experience was too painful.O'Neal is even worse, 7 playoffs and swept six times.

On the All-Star weekend, O'Neal has always been a favorite pistachio of fans, but in the playoffs, he always makes fans who support him laugh.

The final whistle sounded, and the Raptors rushed into the arena to cheer and celebrate.

122 to 91, the Raptors won the 2000 NBA championship!
