After boarding the plane, Coach Delmar Harris called Michael Udin to his side. During normal flight travel, Delmar Harris will sit in a corner at the rear of the cabin. Even though this position was a bit bumpy, he could only sleep sitting here.
This position became his exclusive seat, and other players would consciously let him enjoy the peace alone, at this moment, Michael Udin sat beside him.
"Do you know what I mean by calling you here? Odin."
After a draw like this, the coach is as tired as the players.
"Do you want me to be a substitute?"
Regarding this, Michael Udin believes that his judgments are inseparable.
"You're smarter than I thought. What do you think of this matter?"
"According to my calculations, in the first half of a four-game draw, Shaq played an average of almost 38 minutes.
We have to come up with something when Shaq rests 10 minutes, if it's okay for me to be on the bench, I hope that in these 10 minutes I can have unlimited firepower and absolute possession, and I need Kobe and Robert. Horry was there with me at the same time. "
Although the Utah Jazz hasn't officially started yet, everyone knows that 0-0 is also a desperate situation for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Because it will be dangerous, then you have to use the most extreme moves!
"Very good, your thinking is very good, because you are not against the bench so I will satisfy you on all your terms.
Today's game has proven that your coping skills can shine in the playoff stage, especially the tacit understanding between you and Kobe and Robert, I was very surprised. After meeting the requirements you put forward, I will give you higher authority, you can adjust the tactical strategy on the field according to the actual reading of the game.
As long as Shaq isn't there, you can give any orders to the other four on the field.
Also, out of the 10 minutes you mentioned, 6 minutes are very important.
It was 6 minutes Karl Malone sat off the pitch, and as the power forward played 42 minutes, his break time definitely overlapped with Shaq.
Larry Drew watched almost every video of their game, and when Karl Malone rested, Coach Jerry Sloan usually left John Stockton on the pitch to finish off fouls.
Without John Stockton, Karl Malone still has excellent singles ability, but without Karl Malone, John Stockton's assist threat is halved.
So in the six minutes that John Stockton was leading the team alone, we had to do a good job, and that was a period where we were able to push the Utah Jazz's offensive efficiency to the limit.
We have no chance of winning on paper, so we have to dig into every detail that could be profitable. Although we haven't explained much, I'm sure you can understand what I mean.
In this team, I only dare to communicate with you like this, you go and call Shaq, I will talk to him next. "
Delmar Harris did have a deep insight into the details of the game, and Michael Udin also felt that what he said could indeed be an important turning point in the game.
Without collecting small steps, you cannot reach a thousand miles, and without collecting small streams, you cannot make rivers or seas.
Only when every detail is taken to the extreme can the magic of defeating the strong by the weak be accomplished.
"Hey, Shaq, coach told you to go there!"
Michael Udin poked Shaq, who was wearing headphones, and brought him back to reality from his dream music world.
Coaches Delmar Harris and Shaq have a longer conversation. After the conversation was over, Shaq sat next to Michael Udin.
"Odin, thank you for your sacrifice for the team!
Honestly, if I were you, it would be impossible for me to give up my hard-earned prime!
You can do this for the win, and I'll make more concessions too!
Only when everyone does more for the team can we really get the championship trophy. Utah Jazz isn't too bad. They haven't even reached the finals yet. Don't forget that I played in four finals. Dude! "
Shaquille O'Neal was deeply moved by Michael Udin's actions. He also decided to make short playing time changes to the team's advantage. He wanted to make the break time bit by bit more coherent.
Many famous stars are very sensitive to their downtime, and if they make the slightest adjustment, they may lose their status completely.
However, for the team's victory, making such adjustments is really nothing, but everyone can try to get out of their comfort zone to achieve the coach's tactical intentions.
On May 4, the semifinals of the Western Conference will begin soon. Before the match, the entire media crew was not optimistic that the Los Angeles Lakers could advance to the final round of the Western Conference.
Even Los Angeles-based media outlets such as Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain are not optimistic about the progress of the Los Angeles Lakers.
If against the Houston Rockets, the experts and media could at least give a probability of 7 for the Lakers and 3 for the Rockets, but now the Los Angeles Lakers' opponent is the Utah Jazz No. 1 in the West.
Before the game, Coaches Delmar Harris and Shaq gave a passionate speech to the team, and the team members were also very inspired!
But when it comes to the pitch, everything is another matter.
No amount compares to the actual combat effectiveness, especially the active change of the coaching staff, which greatly reduces the team's tacit understanding of the accumulation of the series.
Early in the game, the Los Angeles Lakers fell into a great passive, and the Utah Jazz, who had been waiting for days, showed a very high level of playing intensity in the first quarter.
in Salt Lake City is also home to the devils in the NBA. The terrifying aura of the home team's fans also made the five Los Angeles Lakers core players feel a little uncomfortable.
The Utah Jazz pulled off some lethal action in the opening game, Karl Malone's pick-and-roll and John Stockton got Campbell and Nick Van Exel to care about one another.
Shaquille O'Neal's attack didn't start smoothly either. The opposing center, as a starting center averaging less than 20 minutes per game, will display tremendous strength during his time on the court. Defensiveness is very consistent.
Sitting on the bench, watching his team-mate Michael Udin, who was gradually suppressed, furious, but at the point in time he will be sent to court, this can only be decided by Coach Delmar Harris.
Such an adjustment of the player structure will inevitably lead to a wide discussion from all walks of life and fans.
Entering the first timeout, the Los Angeles Lakers trailed 12-21 by nine points, a situation that irritated many parties.
"Today I rubbed my eyes after I got the initial roster.
After I confirmed that Odin was not in the starting lineup, I specifically called the Lakers team doctor. After repeatedly confirming that Odin was not injured, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that such a change was made on purpose by Coach Delmar Harris, but I think this decision is very unfair to Odin. We are all beginners, and young people at this stage are the most vulnerable and sensitive!
It was so unfair for him to be left out of the starting lineup after a perfect draw! "
Changing the starting lineup in this way irritated Magic Johnson a bit, and this starting lineup didn't have a convincing effect, which made the always calm Magic Johnson send a lot of complaints.
While Magic Johnson doesn't believe the Los Angeles Lakers can win the Western Conference semifinals in the game, he also wants the home team to play a respectable game.
"From a purely theoretical point of view, such an evolution would indeed increase the chances of winning.
It might be a bit arbitrary to jump to conclusions now, the first round of the series was a huge drain on the Lakers, and it doesn't surprise me that the game started out this way.
Let's see what happens next, because one game doesn't mean much in a long series. "
In the first place, compared to the emotional Magic Johnson, Kareem was much more rational.
In addition, as a part-time consultant to the Los Angeles Lakers, he will deliberately defend decisions made by team management.
"In my opinion, a lot of strategy in basketball is overkill!
If I were the head coach, I would send the best five people to play for 48 minutes!
I really don't understand how players make more dollars, but play less and less time in the game! "
Speaking of today's players' playing time, Wilt Chamberlain showed a resentful expression.
After all, as a genius averaging over 48 minutes per season, Wilt Chamberlain could tell anyone in the league apart.
If kareem finds out, I know that there is a group of fans in the fan circle in the World, calling every day that my idol is tired, my idol is hurt, and my idol has been playing for too long!
Maybe Kareem Abdul-Jabar will lift the coffin board to give these fans a slap in the face!
