However, no matter how bumper the harvest is and no matter how many honors are gained, they are actually only regular season honors. The ongoing playoffs are the lifelong goals of the players.

Now that the Grizzlies generals are more confident, they can't wait to kill the Lakers and then compete for the championship.

If Jackson can lead the team to a championship and win the Finals MVP this year while winning a double first team and an MVP, then he will become a historical superstar.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been some people who have been able to win double first team and double MVP in a single season. For example, Jordan has achieved this achievement four times, and Duncan will also achieve it once in the future, but it will not be their rookie season.

In other words, no one in NBA history has ever been able to complete the feat of double first team and double MVP in his rookie season. Once Jackson can achieve it, even if he retires on the spot, he will definitely leave a mark in NBA history.

Jiang Dongbing actually knows very well that Jackson's strength is actually not that strong. After all, the limit of his potential is there, and he certainly cannot be compared with players like Jordan.

But Jackson also has an advantage that Jordan does not have, that is, his teammates are strong enough. In his rookie season, Jordan did not have a luxurious lineup like the Grizzlies.

If there really was such a luxurious lineup, Jordan might not be able to become the team leader in his rookie season.

Therefore, Jackson's experience is rare and cannot be copied at all. It does not mean that it is completely impossible to copy. If Jiang Dongbing wants to copy it, there is still a possibility of success.

In the next series against the Lakers, the shark-cutting tactic still played a vital role. O'Neal's mentality collapsed after being cut directly in these games.

Under normal circumstances, O'Neal has a free throw shooting percentage of almost 50, but in this series, with a broken mentality, O'Neal averaged 35 free throws per game and only had a pitiful 40% shooting percentage.

Although O'Neal can still provide strong help to the Lakers on the defensive end and rebounding end, his most threatening offensive end is completely useless. In this case, it would be strange for the Lakers not to lose.

O'Neal's defense is very strong, but now the Grizzlies just don't play inside and let outside players handle the offense. Even Lewis Jr. on the bench was assigned by Jiang Dongbing to play at the second and third positions in order not to allow O'Neal to play.

Opportunities for defensive strength.

The fifth game was at the Grizzlies' home court. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Grizzlies successfully defended their third home court and successfully took away the Lakers with a big score of 4:1 and successfully advanced.

Western Conference Finals.

This series can be said to be a close call. After a disastrous defeat at the beginning, the Grizzlies did not give the Lakers a chance in the next four games and defeated the Lakers four consecutive games.

After the game, you can see that the faces of all the Lakers generals were not very good, especially Rodman who was so angry that he cursed in the street.

Of course Rodman was scolding O'Neal for his terrible free throws, but he didn't think about it at all. This shark-cutting tactic was actually used against Rodman from the beginning.

In fact, in this series, even if O'Neal has a high free throw percentage, Jiang Dongbing is not unable to deal with the Lakers.

Without O'Neal, the Lakers still have Rodman on the court. He doesn't cut anyone, as long as he doesn't make free throws.

Rodman's free throws this year are actually not as good as O'Neal's. That is to say, Jiang Dongbing wanted to break O'Neal's mentality, so he kept catching O'Neal and slashing at him.

Not only Rodman, but other Lakers players probably also have strong opinions on O'Neal, because if O'Neal hadn't been targeted by the opponent, they really felt that they had a high chance of winning this series.

Once they win against the Grizzlies, they may even have a good chance of winning the championship.

Jiang Dongbing walked onto the court after the game and greeted the opposing players and head coach.

"Ginger, you are really ruthless." Lakers head coach Kurt Rambis said almost through gritted teeth.

His position as head coach of the team is not stable. After this round of defeat, he is probably going to be fired. It would be strange if he doesn't hate Jiang Dongbing in his heart.

Jiang Dongbing laughed loudly, "Thank you, I will take your words as an affirmation of my coaching ability."

"Shaq, do you have nothing to say to me?" Jiang Dongbing saw O'Neal not far away and couldn't help but greet him jokingly.

O'Neal's expression was ferocious. In his eyes, Jiang Dongbing was now a heinous villain. If he hadn't left the court so ungracefully, he wouldn't have wanted to stay in this damn place for a second.

"Coach Jiang, don't you have any other abilities besides shark-killing tactics?"

"If it weren't for the Shark-Slashing tactic, would you have been able to win a game under our hands? I don't think so!" O'Neal said with disdain while scratching his neck.

Jiang Dongbing smiled and said, "Shaq, if you can meet us again next season, maybe I will give up using the shark-cutting tactic."

"Really?" O'Neal showed a surprised smile on his face.

Jiang Dongbing nodded, "Really, but you will still lose to us next year, and you will still be swept by us."

O'Neal quickly shook his head, "How is that possible? If you don't use shark-killing tactics, you will definitely not be able to defeat us!"

Jiang Dongbing smiled. When the playoffs are over, the Grizzlies will definitely undergo major lineup adjustments during the offseason. They will definitely become stronger in terms of strength. By then, they will also find ways to deal with O'Neal. Wait until next year's postseason.

In the game, even without the shark-cutting tactics, Jiang Dongbing is absolutely sure to win the Lakers.

…

On the second day after the Grizzlies advanced, the Spurs also defeated the Jazz with a score of 4:1 and successfully joined the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals.

During the regular season, the Grizzlies had a big disadvantage against the Spurs, but now Jiang Dongbing knows very well that the Spurs will never be the opponent of the current Grizzlies.

The Spurs' outside lineup is really, really bad, and they now rely on the twin towers inside to carry the team forward. The original Grizzlies were no match for the Spurs because Miller had not reached the limit of his potential and did not bring in O'Brien.

Now Miller and Ou have both reached their peak. Although they may not be opponents of the Spurs' twin towers, the gap is no longer that big. Coupled with the huge advantage of the Grizzlies' outside lineup, this game

It would be weird not to win.
