After the third quarter, the game is destined to be a show for the Suns to show their strength.

The two sides signed an agreement between each other on who defended and who was the grandson. In the fourth quarter, each scored 30 points and 29 points with a shooting percentage of more than 55%.

The Lakers' shooting percentage is only supported by Kobe.

He hits 80% in a single quarter and scores 11 points alone. His fighting spirit in garbage time is worth learning from.

There is a set of data that shows how outrageous the Suns’ defense is.

Kobe's shooting percentage is 80%, but his free throws are 1 of 3, which is only 33%.

Eirr, shooting 80% from the field and shooting 33% from the free throw, is really better than O'Neal.

The Suns beat the Lakers at home and won a game back, and they were still behind 2-3 in the series.

There are many reasons for the Lakers to lose. If you want to say, Kobe suddenly forgot who he is. He spent all his time on defense and organization, forgetting his job completely. The game was close to 60% shooting percentage, and his personal score was only 29 points. The Suns' offense was smooth, both because of the inside being beaten and because Kobe did not put pressure on them.

Kobe sacrificed his shot in the first four games, and his average score declined, but the Lakers led 3-1.

Now, when he needed to take out the regular season offense, he didn't take it out.

Those words used to praise him are now the opposite.

No responsibility, no courage, no courage, no qualifications, is not a qualified leader.

When he scored a lot, everyone said he was alone; when his one-to-five-on-one became a regular operation, everyone said he was selfish and not a leader. When he led the Lakers to lead the Suns 3-1, even if his personal scoring performance was not outstanding, everyone said that he was already the real leader. Now that he lost the court, he was not the leader.

The public opinion and the rumors in the outside world are so strange.

"When people have doubts about us, we can't make progress for two consecutive years. We didn't perform well last year, but I think we've performed well this season enough to respond. We won't focus on the questioners, we only focus on ourselves and continue to improve. I think the best thing we do is to turn past losses into pieces, not stick to past losses. We've performed well in this series and now we need to end this series."

Regarding criticism, Kobe has always chosen to turn a blind eye. As long as the sound is blocked quickly enough, those sounds that will disrupt his mentality will not enter his heart.

Kobe's offensive end is less aggressive, it's a little bit.

Another point is Jackson's employment.

Is Weisha and Parker's performance contrast too much? The media in Los Angeles can no longer bear it.

Dissatisfaction with Jackson all broke out that night? They raised sharp questions about Jackson's employment.

"Why don't you let Wish start? Do you have any conflicts?"

"Wish is above Smash in all aspects? What is the reason for not giving him the starter?"

"Wish has completed such an excellent first half, why did he still choose to start Smash Parker in the second half?"

"There are rumors that Smash Parker has your handle in his hand? And he threatens you to continue starting, Coach Jackson? Is this a matter of this?"

Once the situation is out of control? All kinds of demonic and ghost-like problems will gush out.

Jackson had no idea that the media would suddenly attack.

But this was what he asked for.

In the first half, Wei Xia's defense strangled Nash and Marion to death, but did not start in the second half. When Parker led the game, Wei Xia would have no help when he went up again.

Parker started twice in the first and second half? Not much time? But every time it made the Lakers' rhythm a mess and allowed Nash to find good form.

Every time Wei Xia appears, she faces Nash, who is in good shape.

It is already difficult to limit MVPs. What about MVPs who limit MVPs to play in form? The performance of his previous games that made Nash lose his presence on the court was really beyond everyone's expectations.

In addition? It is the referee's extra eccentricity towards the Sun.

It is undeniable that if the referee hadn't blown the Lakers away? They wouldn't have won with such a high shooting percentage.

From the beginning of the series, the Lakers' attitude was clear.

Although the Suns can play the top three offenses in the league? But with the intensity of the playoffs, efficient offense cannot be maintained.

What are the hidden dangers? The Lakers have lost hope of winning.

Fortunately, they have won three games? One game away from advancing? And they still have one home game left. If they can go back to home to beat the Suns, there is no need to go to the away tiebreak.

But are the Lakers, who have just been blood-scrapped by the Suns, confident of ending the series at home?

As the Lakers walked down the international airport, reporters surrounded Jackson side by side.

Their problems are many, and they are all concentrated on Wei Xia.

Jackson now cannot avoid the problem.

In the game of life and death, he still refused to let Wei Xia start. His trust and reliance on Smash Parker has exceeded common sense, and normal logic cannot explain how his trust in the latter came about.

The reporter needs the answer, and what Jackson wants the least to give is the answer.

Not only reporters, but even Wei Xia’s agent Dan Feigen also believes that now is a good time to force the palace.

If you weren't forced to do so, you don't have to go this far.

Feigan made Wei Xia believe that the public opinion pressure faced by Jackson made him necessarily submit. The management will put pressure on him, and the fans outside the court will put pressure on him, and the media has put pressure on him for a season. Now there is pressure on others, such as the pressure on him, the party involved. He must make a statement, and people must know that it is not that he wants to play the sixth person, but that it is for Jackson's "tactical needs" that he has wronged himself to play the sixth person.

The main master must speak out, even if he makes his own voice through other people's channels.

One day later, Dan Feigan revealed in an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News: "My client is a little dissatisfied with his position in the team."

The reporter naturally asked, "Can you reveal his name?"

"I don't want to cause trouble to him, I can only say that he is playing in the playoffs." This is not an hint, it is an explicit statement.

Feigan's voice raised the pressure on Phil Jackson to a higher level.

Jim Bass followed up with the effort behind the scenes.

Wei Xia is his person. Even if he is not strong enough, he will try his best to push him to the starting position. Moreover, he is strong enough, and he is implicated by him, which has been a substitute for a season.

He said that Wei Xia would start in a key battle.

He knew that others knew, including Jackson himself, too. With Wei Xia's character, you gave him a chance and gave him a chance to wait for a whole year. He would definitely do his best to repay you with the best performance.

Thursday afternoon, May 4, 2006, training time.

Jackson's office was very lively, and many people came to visit him, and what he said was similar.

Some people are more tactful and tell them that the team's lineup may need some adjustments.

"Compared with the Suns, our starting skills and stability are obviously insufficient." Jackson's trusted assistant coach Brian Xiao Wan was as embarrassed as an ancient woman who saw her husband for the first time. She felt guilty. "We were all at a disadvantage in the previous five games and every game."

Jackson patiently followed their advice and sent them away with a sentence: "I will think seriously."

People all over the world are urging Jackson to do the right thing.

He was under great pressure, as if Wei Xia would not be able to defeat the Suns if he didn't start. If this is the case, how did he win the first three games?

Jackson was so angry that the office door was knocked.

"Please come in," he said.

Then, he saw Kobe walking in from outside the door.

Kobe was still holding a jersey in his hand.

"At the moment of the competition, according to your habits, you should train yourself to become a rain man." Jackson, who was full of worries, teased Kobe.

"I think too, but I should save my energy to get more points," Kobe said.

"It makes sense. You should take more actions and show some aggressiveness, Kobe." Jackson did not notice Kobe's abnormality.

Suddenly, Kobe changed his joking tone: "Phil, do you think I am an unqualified leader?"

"Why do you ask that?" Jackson said.

"You don't want me to start with the second best player in the team. If I were a real leader, I should lead the four best teammates to start, but I can only bring the three best every night."

Kobe's purpose is the same as everyone else.

"It's not your problem." Jackson's face turned gloomy. If even Kobe had that attitude, it means that the players had opinions on his arrangements. Kobe was their representative.

“Then we should make a change.”

Kobe said tough.

“It’s the coaching staff’s business to make a game plan!”

Jackson decided to stick to his bottom line.

"Okay, how about that?" Kobe grabbed his jersey with his right hand, which was the home jersey he was going to wear tonight's game. His hand holding the jersey was hanging above Jackson's desk. Suddenly, his hand released and the jersey fell. "I quit. I decided to give up my starting qualification and let Wish replace me with the starter."

Jackson shouted excitedly: "Nonsense!"

"Who is messing around, Phil?" After that, Kobe walked out of Jackson's office.

Jackson's anger was not over yet. In less than 10 seconds, Lamar Odom opened the door without even knocking on the door and put his jersey on the table: "If you feel embarrassed, you can let Visa take over my starter, after all, Kobe is our core."

When Odom left, the door was not closed because the next person was about to give up his starter.

That person is Ratrill Sprewell who will definitely not be able to support his family next season.

The madman turned into a humble man. He put down his jersey and said in a deep voice: "An old man like me should not block the young man's way."

Before he even walked out of the office, Brian Cook walked in and put his jersey on the table: "If Wish is not qualified to start, I am even less qualified."

Jackson, who had lost control of the team, was so angry that his face turned pale and his lips twitched. Just as he was about to get angry, the person he shouldn't have walked in - Smash Parker, came in shirtless. Instead of taking the game jersey, he put the sweat-soaked training suit on Jackson's desk.

"Coach, stop ignoring the elephants in the room."

Parker, who made Jackson's blood pressure rise countless times during the game, used his actions to "betray" the Zen master's valuation of him. So, Phil Jackson would make a choice, and the whole world was already on his opposite side. He completely underestimated Wish. What kind of person would let the media talk about him for a season and ask him why he would not let that young man start? What kind of person would make Dr. Bass satisfied with his ineffective young son? What kind of person could make Kobe break the rare friendship they had established and take the lead in opposing him?

What kind of person can make Smash Parker, a self-righteous and stubborn bastard who is so self-righteous and stubborn that he is not afraid of Kobe, willing to give up the starter?
