BAB 129

Michael Udin played a role, but the effect did not live up to the team's expectations.

I have to say that Jerry Sloan's personnel schedule is pretty stable. In Karl Malone's brief break, John Stockton's lineup was enough for the Utah Jazz to transition smoothly at this time.

Back in the second quarter, Shaq still had three to four minutes to rest, and Karl Malone, who had historical levels of stamina, would return to the stage before Shaq.

Such a rotation overshadows the next Los Angeles Lakers game trend.

Without Karl Malone, Michael Udin led the team to recover just three points. Now that Karl Malone is on the court, how to make sure the score is not drawn becomes a huge problem for the Los Angeles Lakers!

After the game, John Stockton rested, Karl Malone replaced Greg Foster, Howard Eisley took the No. position. 1, and Anderson took the No. 2.

The Utah Jazz's frequent rotation and flexible position changes will make opponents very uncomfortable. To keep up with the Utah Jazz's personnel changes, the Los Angeles Lakers must make changes on a tactical level!

After Karl Malone took to the stage, he stopped looking for pick-and-rolls when John Stockton took a break This time is his singles show!

Robert Horry has no advantage in defending Karl Malone. Karl Malone started the second quarter with a midrange shot!

When Karl Malone made the jumper, Robert Horry could only symbolically extend his hand. Whether you can enter or not, it's all up to God. Karl Malone who in his heyday made a dozen jumpers with macho jumpers in one Point game very easy.

After Robert Horry, Karl Malone is still as calm as water, such a score is very common for him.

During the break in the first quarter, Jerry Sloan also made a targeted response to the Los Angeles Lakers' lightning fast play. Those who don't grab an offensive rebound will have to delay a quick break for the first time, and if they score the ball later, even if the Los Angeles Lakers can serve straight, it's hard to find a quick break!

But Michael Udin didn't believe it, he just wanted to grab serve!

Shaquille O'Neal isn't back yet, and it's still time. Hurry up!

Michael Udin's bottom line serves straight to the ball The ball flies across the crowd looking for Kobe!

But in dirt wrestling, Kobe just can't take off enough! Michael Udin's pass went straight from the bottom line on the opposite side!

Seeing such a situation, Delmar Harris was expressionless, wanting to increase the speed to a rhythm that the Utah Jazz couldn't follow, Michael Udin and Kobe weren't enough!

If the other three don't cooperate completely, then playing fast is bullshit!

In the first home game of the Western Conference semifinals, Karl Malone was in the heat, and it was difficult for Robert Horry to make any substantial intervention on him.

In the mid-range, Karl Malone asked for anything, and the Los Angeles Lakers never managed to break fast. By the time Shaquille O'Neal returned to the court, the Los Angeles Lakers were already 15 points behind.

Coach Delmar Harris's tricks could fail in this match. The Utah Jazz are always 20 points ahead at the Energy Solutions Arena, and the Los Angeles Lakers have no chance of getting back up.

Until the final moments of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers were not making waves, and the Utah Jazz got their wish to keep their home court and temporarily lead 1:0 in the Western Conference semifinals.

Back in the locker room, the Los Angeles Lakers players looked pretty ugly.

Even Shaq, who usually cheers up his teammates, sits in a corner sulking.

When Coach Delmar Harris invited all the reporters away and closed the locker room door, all eyes were on his face.

"It was a very bad night, but it's okay, we will continue to play like this in the next game!

I believe that after the run-in of this game, we will definitely win again in the next game! "

Despite being a little frustrated, Coach Delmar Harris tried his best to look positive.

Harris, I didn't come to Los Angeles from Orlando to play the Tactical Inventor role-play with you.

With all due respect, an attempt at such a rotation was an experiment that failed miserably.

Everyone knows that losing in the playoffs will make a difference, we've been beaten, and I see no reason for us to obsess over stupid things like that! "

This is the first time Shaquille O'Neal has questioned Coach Delmar Harris in the dressing room since he came to the Los Angeles Lakers.

As for the contradiction between stars and coaches, most of them here are not surprised. As long as the team wins, everyone will brag about how harmonious the atmosphere is in the team and how good the chemistry between the players is!

Generally, except for the winning team that season, the other teams will more or less be faced with some locker room conflicts.

In this dispute between Shaquille O'Neal and Delmar Harris, no third party can intervene.

After this match, Shaq remembered the fear of being dominated by the Houston Rockets that year. In fact, in four games the Orlando Magic swept by the Houston Rockets, the difference in points in each game is not too big, but Los Angeles. The Lakers reunited with the Utah Jazz in the playoffs was another humiliation with big scoring opponents.

Such a sense of helplessness frustrated Shaquille O'Neal, as he felt his team had no hope of returning, and for a tactical debate with Coach Delmar Harris, he only used the topic to vent his frustration.

"I am in charge of matters at a tactical level, and I will also be fully responsible for on-site scheduling!

If in the end the team will be eliminated due to my tactical mistakes, then I am willing to take all the responsibility!

As a player, you just have to be yourself! "

Down 0:1, coach Delmar Harris believes it is far from time to throw the ball and admit defeat, so he must now firmly rein in the right to speak in the dressing room with his own hands.

If a leading star takes the lead in the revolt, then the Los Angeles Lakers have no hope of returning.

"Can you take responsibility for our years of hard work?

My teammates and I worked hard for a year to be able to win the championship, but now the tactic of such a kid's game is to make fun of our sweat! "

Facing the toughness of coach Delmar Harris, Shaquille O'Neal's resistance was getting worse.

After careful consideration, Michael Udin stood among the crowd.

"As a party to the tactical change, I support Coach Delmar Harris."

With a superstar like Shaquille O'Neal on the team, no one expected a first year rookie to stand up and say something like that at a time like that.

And Michael Udin didn't seem to be impulsive, he looked directly at Shaquille O'Neal coldly, and there was no sign of blinking in his eyes.

Shaquille O'Neal's facial expression is amazing!

"Oh my god, this is crazy!

Do you have your share of words here, who do you think you are? "

Being provoked by Michael Udin's eyes like this, Shaquille O'Neal naturally wouldn't stay still.

"I'm a Lakers player who follows the coach's setup and is ready to go out on the court and give my all.

You have the maximum salary and have unlimited rights to fire whatever you want.

Compared to you, I am nothing.

But if you don't have our petty teammates to cover up, what can you do on your own?

Can you pick the entire Portland Trail Blazers? Did you send yourself to Salt Lake City, or did we work together to get here? "

Actually this was Shaquille O'Neal's defeat, he didn't know how to deny it for a while, but he actually wanted to get up and beat Michael Udin.

Michael Udin, who wanted to solve the problem, of course, would not have a meaningless fight with this person, Michael Udin walked to the locker room door and pushed the door open.

"Come on, let's play WWE in front of reporters from all over the world!"
