Excellent performances from other players also gave Shaquille O'Neal more time to recover, and this decision immediately gave the playoff competition the biggest advantage.
Michael Udin has also been exercising a lot during his recovery from Shaquille O'Neal's injury. The constant swing of positions 3, 4 and 5 made him want to die. At first Delmar Harris was stunned by Michael Udin, but when Michael Udin was a general After he completely understood the tactics of each position, he began to shake all opponents!
After Shaquille O'Neal returned, the Los Angeles Lakers reduced the tempo and intensity of the game, this decision giving Shaquille O'Neal buffer time for reconciliation.
This team is no longer a single core team supported by Shaquille O'Neal alone. Others can give him championship help!
Before the playoffs, there is a game worth mentioning, namely Michael Udin, who has always been dubbed a young veteran and rookie with a big heart!
For many details of the 1996-1997 season, Michael Udin is very clear.
This season, the mainstream media not only paid attention to the trend of the ranking of the top teams in the league, but also the record of the bottom teams in the league also became a hot spot.
Now in the pre-match interview, Michael Udin is the darling of the reporters. Agent Martin has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of And1. As And1's top card, Michael Udin often utters surprising words to attract attention.
"How are you preparing for tomorrow's game against Spurs?"
For such routine questions, TNT reporters didn't really expect anything to explode.
"I didn't have much preparation! The opponent didn't want to win either. I think they almost threw it in their own basket!"
Even though he always said some controversial things, this was the first time Michael Udin had said a direct insult to his opponent!
"Greg Popovich was a shrewd general manager before and he wouldn't let his players do this!"
Of course, journalists who want to make a fuss about this know that aggressive tactics are panacea.
"Come on! After all, the process is similar, and playing with them will always make me sleepy!
I just want to get the Spurs win and go home and sleep! "
Michael Udin ended the interview with contempt on his face, these were indeed his words from the bottom of his heart.
An interview like that could get TNT enough attention, and Gregg Popovich right there was furious!
Although he doesn't get angry easily in front of the camera, he also vows to make Michael Udin look good.
After taking over the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich saw the team finish second from last in the Western Conference and third last place in the league.
As long as you're in the league's bottom three, the chances of getting the No. 1 would be very, very high.
The first-to-last win rate is 25 percent, the penultimate win rate is 19.6 percent, and the third-to-last win rate is 15.9 percent.
But when it comes to fourth from the bottom, the win rate will drop drastically.
Gregg Popovich not only wants to "record", he also wants to be famous, this person can often lead the team to take advantage of the first three quarters, and then mysteriously collapse in the fourth quarter!
It made him look like he was capable, simply because he wanted a Tim Duncan who would participate in next season's Draft and didn't want to win.
The Los Angeles Lakers face the San Antonio Spurs at the Staples Center. As soon as Michael Udin entered the field, he met a crazy target from his opponent.
The constant provocation and double cooperation made Michael Udin very uncomfortable.
Los Angeles in April was already warm and cold, and Michael Udin also caught a cold, and he barely made any achievements in the first three quarters.
The San Antonio Spurs entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead, and neither challenged nor doubled Michael Udin's team in the fourth quarter.
However, Michael Udin's open condition is still outrageous. Coach Delmar Harris also asked Michael Udin's condition, but Michael Udin, played by the old man, was also getting better with himself. He signaled he was fine, and in the fourth quarter Crazy shots!
If it had been Michael Udin in the past, he would have definitely killed and taken over the game, but today there were some problems with his body and mind.
The Los Angeles Lakers failed to catch up to the last offensive possession of the game, with five seconds remaining and the San Antonio Spurs leading by a point.
Coach Delmar Harris certainly did not want to lose, he managed the high-low tactics of Michael Udin and Shaquille O'Neal.
After the match, Michael Udin successfully received a pass from Robert Horry. Michael Udin stood in a high position and was about to pass the ball to the inside line. However, the San Antonio Spurs players were too aggressive and immediately committed a violation.
The foul count has been reached, and Michael Udin is sent to the free throw line!
Greg Popovich roared furiously at foul players, and he even smashed the tactical board!
But most people don't realize that after his anger, he shows a subtle grin that's hard to detect...
With Michael Udin's level of free throws, it's no surprise that this is another piece of knowledge.
Michael Udin's first penalty missed! With typhoid fever, and consumption of the game, Michael Udin was already in a state of high fever, of course, he did not honestly reveal his situation to the coaching staff.
For the second penalty, Michael Udin made repeated adjustments, but because of the fever, his palms were full of sweat, and in the end, his hand slipped, and Michael Udin made three non-stick penalties! ! !
Los Angeles Lakers at home feel hate! Michael Udin, who had made plenty of lore shots, ended up pulling it off, and his team-mates and coach also stepped forward to cheer him on.
And Michael Udin doesn't take these two free throws to heart either, he knows best about his own physical condition, but it doesn't affect his confidence in the game at all.
This incident had no impact on the Los Angeles Lakers, but it had a major impact on the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg Popovich's expression after the game was amazing!
Due to such a win, the San Antonio Spurs triumph overtook the Philadelphia 76ers in the final rankings and climbed to the fourth lowest position in the league.
Michael Udin's little hand slipped and slipped Tim Duncan into the Philadelphia 76ers. Three nonstick points completely changed the whole future of the league.
Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan work together to create a super strong team, of course, all this is the next story.
