The Knicks scored a game in the fifth game and scored a big score back 2:3. Then the game was still very serious against the Knicks, because they had to do every game in the next game. If they lost one game, they could only go home.

So in the sixth game, the slogan that the Knicks fans called was - win   or   go    home?

However, the Knicks players in the home locker room are full of confidence.

In the game where Zhou Mubai was in, even if they were at a disadvantage during some periods of time, even if they were in a difficult situation, Zhou Mubai would stand up.

How to deal with Zhou Mubai is already a problem that the entire league has to face.

The Knicks players were not in good shape in the last game, that was just a special situation. This shouldn't have happened at home tonight, right?

So they are full of confidence. As long as they play in their form and give Zhou Mubai a helping hand, the Knicks will not lose the game!

On the other hand, the situation on the Lakers is a little bad.

Since playing against the Knicks, Lakers players have felt that no matter how they play, they are not right, especially some players, who are even more frustrated, especially Bynum.

At first, he was chased by Zhou Mubai, but he was an opponent after all, but then he was a top center in the league and was suspended after accepting the task of destroying Zhou Mubai. Not only did his teammates not be grateful, but they even had some contempt for him. Then they were forced to play in the defense, and the key was beaten to pieces. Bynum felt that there was a volcano in his heart about to erupt.

In fact, it is not just him, but other people have different moods, but one that exists the same way, that is a sense of frustration. As the defending champion, they tried their best, but they could not limit Zhou Mubai.

It’s not that one of them can’t limit it, but that the entire team is doing the same thing, but still cannot do it. This kind of frustration cannot be felt by others, or rather, it’s a sense of fear.

Anyone who has played the ball knows that if the opponent has someone you can't defend against, you will feel powerless. If the entire team is still unable to defend against him, then the mentality will be fear.

You may even doubt yourself, doubt whether you are not suitable for basketball. This feeling is still the case in the hearts of amateur athletes, and it is even more incredible for top athletes like NBA.

The pride of top athletes is difficult for ordinary people to understand. If you have to make an analogy, you were originally the number one in junior high school, and you are always the number one, so you are very proud. When one day you go to a high school in the county, you can't keep up with others' progress. At this time, your mentality will easily collapse.

This is the mentality of these players in the Lakers now.

Kobe is of course a fighter, but if he is defeated by the opponent as a whole, he is not only angry, but he is holding his breath and wants to defeat his opponent. However, when facing Zhou Mubai, he cannot prevent Zhou Mubai, but he is severely restricted by Zhou Mubai on the offensive end. This blow is particularly terrifying for him, an athlete who is also a top athlete in the NBA.

When you stand on the top of the mountain and look down on the world, you turn your head and find a higher mountain behind you. There is a young man looking down at you, and you have no way to fight back.

This sense of frustration and gap are desperate.

As the head coach, Phil Jackson is not much better. He is a meritorious coach. In terms of success, the NBA's current coach belongs to him. He established three dynasties. He originally planned to establish another dynasty, but now he is constantly defeated by Zhou Mubai.

He thought he was both top-notch in adaptability and tactical qualities, but he was constantly hit by the Knicks. He knew that his opponent was no longer D'Antoni, but Zhou Mubai on the court.

He thought hard about the tactics he prepared for several days, and was often broken in Zhou Mubai's hands for more than ten minutes, and sometimes even broke it casually. Who can stand this kind of blow!

He has not suffered defeats or made mistakes before, but in the final analysis, the team is not as strong as the opponent, rather than his plan.

But facing the Knicks, he really felt the tactical suppression.

In terms of team talent, the Lakers are at least better than the Knicks. This is not something that Zhou Mubai can change alone. However, when the Lakers and the Knicks fight, as long as Zhou Mubai is there, the Lakers always seem clumsy. He knows very well that this is a tactical crush.

Maybe you would say that the Knicks actually have no tactics, how could they be crushed at the tactical level?

Oh, that's true.

Whoever says tactics must be routines, and the team has prepared for a long time to practice tactics to be called tactics. Tactics that adapt to changes are also tactics, and they are a more top-notch tactical category.

Conventional tactics can be formulated to counter the situation, but this adaptable tactic is difficult to control because it is fleeting, and sometimes you even think this is a coincidence.

But Phil Jackson knew it wasn't.

He didn't spend much time with Zhou Mubai, but during the cooperation at the beginning of the season, he knew that Zhou Mubai's tactical qualities could even be an assistant coach of a weak team (the coach needs not only the tactical level, but the coach requires good interpersonal relationships and tactical unity), but at that time he thought it was just that. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Mubai was really standing on his opposite side, he realized that he was wrong.

Zhou Mubai's tactics are not only better than him, but may even be even more powerful than him.

This kind of thought kept tangling in his mind, making him look a little lost.

But he was also a little stubborn.

In fact, in terms of tactical level, Zhou Mubai is indeed stronger than him, but he may not be much stronger.

The reason why Zhou Mubai looks strong is because he can play out his tactical intentions. With his tactics, he really can't play out with a defender. If he becomes a coach, he might make the same mistake as Michael Jordan.

Of course he said that - you see, after you pick-and-roll, isn’t three-pointers open? Just hit;

And here, the center has already reached this point, you just hit the ball and pass it to the ground;

What... You can't pass it in if you haven't seen it? Impossible! How easy it is to pass it on!

Moreover, in this position, you can not only pass to the center, but also the bottom corner here and the bottom corner there, and the small forwards who cut in the air have millions of empty positions to pass. Why can't you even make it impossible to pass?
