The Knicks’ “waste” has shown unprecedented morale and desire to win. They have accumulated unprecedented self-esteem and self-confidence in bizarre victories one after another.

In contrast, the Lakers have habitually entered a situation of arrogance and underestimation. Their fifth game at Staples Arena failed to end the series. San Antonio’s troika captured the Lakers’ defensive end. Lax, and continued to play great defensive counterattacks. Although the Black Mamba roared and slapped his palms in the last quarter to motivate his teammates, with Tim Duncan's two conclusive mid-range jumpers, the Lakers had to pay for their arrogance.

The Spurs pulled back a city away and took the game back to San Antonio.

Although the Lakers still lead 3:2 and control the match point.

"If the Lakers continue to face the enemy with such arrogance and negligent stance, the Spurs will definitely let them experience the tenacity of an established team.

ESPN commentator Bill Simmons bluntly said in his column: "If the Lakers want to win the championship, they must be 100% focused. The Spurs are definitely not the third-rate Knicks that can win by playing casually. team."

Bill Simmons's criticism is very representative. Everyone thinks that Los Angeles people are habitually proud of underestimating the enemy. This actually happened in the finals last year.

At this time, the local Los Angeles media "Orange County Chronicle$" disclosed in the post-match report that Kobe Bryant was extremely dissatisfied with the players' performance in this game. He even furious in the locker room, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum was attacked by him using "insulting" words, which triggered a fierce resistance by Bynum.

According to an informed source who asked not to be named, Bynum countered Kobe with an extremely unhappy expression: If you miss a few shots, we won't lose at all. A guard who has beaten iron 17 times is not qualified to criticize his teammates for not being aggressive enough.

Bynum's counterattack triggered a violent backlash from the Black Mamba. If Fisher and Gasol did not separate them in time, the locker room even staged an all-in-one action.

When this infighting was spread by the media on a large scale, unfavorable voices about the Lakers came out immediately: After all, the Spurs are not a team that breaks into the Western Conference by luck. Although the strength of the Lakers is better than that, if the Lakers appear Internal divisions, it is hard to predict who will die.

"I said earlier that Kobe can't coexist with any super center. Bynum has just shown the potential of a top center, and he can't tolerate it." Shaq O'Neal did not forget to jump out at this time to satirize his old partner: " If I were Bynum, I would immediately submit a transaction application to the Lakers management...with me without him, anyway, the Buss family is keen on this alternative trick."

The old Shark obviously can't let go of the Lakers management's trade to Miami in the summer of 2004.

And just as the outside world was questioning, Phil Jackson finally faced the camera and took the initiative to talk about the locker room disturbance before heading to San Antonio.

"This is a very meaningful dispute, I am sure that both sides are to make the team better."

"Both core players are trying to change the game in their own way. This is a meaningful exchange of ideas with a strong masculine style."

"I think the series will change drastically. As long as the Lakers are serious enough, no other team will have a chance."

The Zen master's speech did not stop public opinion from the outside world, but triggered even greater discussions.

Because, Phil Jackson directly admitted the existence of contradictions in the locker room, and the vocabulary he used was two core players.

To some extent, this is to discuss the small shark and the black mamba at the same level.

"The Zen master is very good at doing this kind of dynamic balance in the locker room. He deliberately condoned the competition between Kobe and the Sharks during the OK period, so as to achieve better control of the team. In fact, in the Bulls era, during the two years when Michael retired, he Have also done this kind of work, Langley and Pippen have to fight almost every training match."

In a TNT show, Kenny Smith pointedly pointed out: "Phil Jackson is obviously going to make a big fuss."

"This is in line with Phil Jackson's character. In fact, there is a certain degree of disputes within the Lakers as the body of the old Buss gradually deteriorates. As the boyfriend of Janet Buss, Phil's behavior is not unexpected at all. "Charles Barkley rarely agrees with Kenny Smith: "This is the best chance. You will never meet a Finals opponent like the Knicks again."

"To be honest, even if Phil Jackson banned Kobe Bryant or Andrew Bynum for two games, it wouldn't be a surprise."

Charles Barkley's analysis has been questioned by Jeff Van Gundy.

Jeff Van Gundy has always appeared as a special commentator since he was dismissed from the Houston Rockets' coaching position.

But recently, New York fans seem to think of the defensive master who once built an iron-blooded team in the 90s, and there have been calls for him to return to the Knicks.

And Jeff Van Gundy himself seemed very ambiguous about this. When reporters inquired about this matter, he always evasive, but always emphasized that Snoopy is a natural defensive warrior, and it is enough to build an iron-blooded team around him.

"Phil Jackson is indeed playing his locker room balancing method. But I don't think the Lakers' suspension of Bynum or Kobe will still not affect the analysis of the series results. The Lakers are stronger, but the Knicks did not imagine it. That’s so weak. After all, the Knicks pay no less luxury tax than the Lakers. Most of their players have proven themselves."

"Moreover, now under the leadership of Snoopy, this team has taken on a brand new look. The fifth game with the Atlanta Hawks has proven that they have the ability and confidence to perform well under high pressure~lightnovelpub.net~ The Lakers can underestimate the enemy, but not too much."

Jeff Van Gundy said.

But this did not trigger discussion, because everyone's opinion is...Even if the Lakers underestimate the enemy, they will still easily defeat New York.

Even the veteran Duke fan Barkley has no objection to this point.

On the day this episode aired, the Lakers won Game Six in San Antonio.

Kobe Bryant made 28 of 42 shots in the game, scoring an astonishing 65 points and leading the team to victory with a godly attitude.

After the game, the black Mamba faced the camera, still showing his murderous aura: "No one can stop me from winning, I mean, no one!"

After speaking, he emphasized again: "There is no one."
