Phil Jackson was very surprised, Kobe was even more surprised than him: "Phil, do you see if the lineup led by Zhou looks like the Suns running and bombing?"

Phil Jackson nodded: "It should be that kind of thing. The Suns' style of play can be summarized as a 7-second fast attack, blitz, v-word offense, high pick-and-roll, double-team, tight defense. Although it seems that only fast attack now, it already has that flavor."

Kobe was silent for a while and said, "Don't you mind?"

Phil Jackson laughed: "What do you mind? I heard that there is a saying in China that stones on other mountains can be used to attack precious jade, which means that the stones on other mountains are hard and can be considered jade.

The essence of basketball is to score. It is enough for him to lead his teammates to score. As for what tactics they use, it doesn’t matter. I use triangle tactics because this allows you and Paul to exert your strength. It doesn’t mean I only like triangle tactics.”

"What's more, he can use a group of substitutes to exert his strength to this level without relying on the starting lineup. If he reaches a difficult situation, wouldn't he exist as a surprise?"

Kobe nodded. This is understandable. The more tactics a team has, the more choices it has. A team with too single tactics is too easy to target. The regular season can rely on a common tactic to conquer the world, but in the playoffs, every round must be carefully considered, and a single tactic can easily fall into trouble.

Just like Nash's Suns, the regular season is very strong, so strong that he himself is a little scared. In the two seasons of 2005-07, the Lakers were all in the hands of the Suns. Although it was because of the Lakers' configuration problem, the Suns were really strong, and Kobe would not refuse to admit this.

But the Suns were always out of the finals. Although there were luck, were their tactics really no problem?

Kobe understood the truth, but he still couldn't help asking: "Coach, do you have the only one rotation lineup for Zhou?"

Phil Jackson looked at Kobe in surprise and asked, "Kobe, are you optimistic about Zhou?"

Kobe opened his mouth and pursed his lips. He couldn't say what was going on. Perhaps it was because Zhou Mubai's diligence moved him, reminding him of his desperate past when he was young, or perhaps he saw the shadow of Nash in Zhou Mubai.

The opponents are often the opponents. After so many years of tying between the Lakers and the Suns, Kobe knows Nash too well and admires Nash. He cannot take the initiative to join forces with Nash, but if there is someone who can organize like Nash, he will not mind playing without the ball.

Phil Jackson just said casually, and when he saw Kobe's expression, he just smiled: "I didn't position him. What he wanted depends on his strength. If he wanted to impress me, he had to defeat his competitors in the same position."

Kobe knew it clearly. Phil Jackson was talking about Fisher. After all, Fisher is the veteran of the team and the team's four-champion point guard. Such a key figure, Phil Jackson could not use a newcomer to replace him at will, unless this newcomer convinces everyone!

Then let’s take a look.

While the two were chatting, the situation on the field had reached a point of tension. When Kobe came out, the Lakers were already 20 points ahead. They originally wanted to replace the starter and let the marginalists make it take for the time to pass, but unexpectedly, Zhou Mubai and a group of marginalists widened the gap to 40 points!

The Clippers players all looked depressed, and after being frustrated, they became angry and embarrassed. If they continued to fight, the NBA tragedy was about to happen. The Clippers players had already started to make some big moves, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides gradually became enlarged. As soon as they were about to cause a conflict, Phil Jackson decisively called a timeout and replaced Zhou Mubai with the ball, which stopped the conflict.

When Zhou Mubai finished, the audience was filled with joy.

Zhou Mubai's debut ended here. The answer he gave was amazing, with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 steals, and only 2 mistakes. This is not like the data of a rookie, but the data of the peak Nash.

What is even more surprising is that in the year of Nash's peak season, his data was 18.6 points, 11.6 assists, and 3.5 rebounds. This is the data he averaged 35.3 minutes per game. Zhou Mubai got similar data, but it only took 15 minutes!

It is true that some of Zhou Mubai's data were obtained in garbage time, but it is also necessary to see that he is still a rookie, not a player's peak, and his teammates are just ordinary marginal people.

No matter how many people question it, Zhou Mubai has proved himself in his debut.

This can be seen in the subsequent media reactions.

Some people say that with the advent of the new media era, traditional media have become more and more popular with the title party, and they are quite arrogant and unremitting. However, they cannot overestimate the integrity of the media. In fact, these media have always been like this.

The media's extensive reports did make Zhou Mubai known to many people, especially Lakers fans, who are watching football on the spot or on TV. Most of them like this young man with excellent passes.

However, there are also voices of doubt, just like a famous Suns celebrity who commented on it: "The Lakers rookie's debut is indeed excellent, but it may not be possible to conclude that he is outstanding enough.

I have seen many rookies who are at the peak of their debut, but many of them are gone in the end. He still doesn’t have to rush to praise them after passing the rookie wall.

As for Zhou Mubai, he still has many defects, such as his thin body, his personal offense, and his defense.

I have seen his body side data, and all aspects are ordinary. This will inevitably be targeted after being familiar with others. Now his outstanding performance is just because of his opponent's contempt and ignorance.

I don’t know if anyone noticed that although he scored 14 points in this game, almost all his shots were obtained when they were empty. When there was a defensive end in front of him, he chose to pass the ball. I can’t see his score when facing defense, which may be a hidden danger.

He had as many as five steals, but does this mean his defense is good? I don't think so, but this is his rash performance. I saw him let go of his defender and pounce on the basket to make risky steals, and the same is true for other steals...
