System: I am always awesome in the NBA

"Lin, behave yourself! This is the finals, not a place for you to joke around."

Phil Jackson frowned and spoke in a very unhappy tone.

"Phil, listen to me. If I play center, maybe it would be a better choice."

Lin Hao said seriously.

He swore that he really didn't want to take advantage of others this time.

Although O'Neal is a top star and can get a lot of attribute points, he has no shortage of this thing now.

Wouldn’t it be better to improve Wade, the All-Star guard, by developing some guard skills?

"What we need more is your three-pointer! What do you think?"

Kobe asked in a deep voice.

This series means a lot to him.

No matter how good his relationship with Lin Hao is, he won't agree unless he can give a good reason.

Everyone turned their curious eyes to Lin Hao.

"Kobe is right. If we can shoot three-pointers accurately, we can beat the Heat."

Lin Hao looked around at everyone.

From a mathematical point of view, as long as the three-pointer can reach a 33.3% hit rate, its scoring efficiency is equivalent to a 50% hit rate at the basket.

Can he shoot over 33% from three? Absolutely!

"But the thing is, Shaquille O'Neal is shooting over 60 percent at the rim, at least in these last few games."

"If he continues to perform as well as he did in the first two games, even if Kobe and I can shoot three-pointers more accurately, there's no guarantee we can win."

Lin Hao talked freely.

The Zen master nodded.

"If I came off the bench at center, it would be me and Shaq exploding. I couldn't guard his dunks, and he couldn't guard my footwork."

"Although my shooting percentage near the basket may not be as good as his, I have more opportunities to shoot!"

"I can initiate offense from anywhere on the court, while he can only passively receive the ball under the basket."

"So, at this point, I can be seen as a mini-Olajuwon, and O'Neal is the twilight-year Shaq."

"Then, the Heat's strong point of O'Neal has been offset."

Lin Hao said.

At this time, the Zen master's eyes lit up.

In the 95 Finals, O'Neal's shooting percentage was close to 60%, while Hakeem's was less than 5%.

On the surface, Dream was defeated by O'Neal.

But looking at the scores again, Dream averaged 32 points per game and O'Neal averaged 28 points per game.

"As long as all our starters can shoot three-pointers and get outside the three-point line, the Heat won't dare to double-team me even if I score a lot of points."

"Because my passing ability is much better than Shaq's, Pat Riley definitely can't ignore it."

One star shines!

The tactic Lin Hao mentioned was exactly one star shooting in four directions.

This tactic is not mysterious, everyone knows it.

But few coaches dare to use this trick.

Lin Hao dared to bring this up because of his strong confidence in himself.

He is confident that he can beat Shaq on offense.

Even Olajuwon can do it, so there's no reason why he can't, as he's faster, more agile, and has better shooting ability.

"Phil, I think what Lin said makes sense. We can give it a try!"

Kobe said.

"What about the defensive end?"

The Zen master suddenly asked.

"I'll defend him alone!"

Lin Hao said without hesitation.

Now, his strength attribute is full marks. Although he cannot completely restrict O'Neal, the effect is at least stronger than Mim and others.

"Let me think about it."

After a moment of contemplation, Phil Jackson said.

The second quarter begins.

When the Lakers players walked onto the court, the audience was stunned.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup is: PG Vujacic, SG Kobe, SF Devin George, PF Odom, C Lin Hao.

Heat coach Van Gundy was also stunned.

Phil, what does this mean?

Let a small forward who is just over 2 meters tall play center?

Do they still want their inside players?

"Is Phil crazy?"

Kenny Smith said in surprise.

"This is really crazy. They actually let the NBA's top small forward, Huang Jesus, play the 5 position!"

Barkley nodded, and he never forgot to praise Lin Hao at any time.

"Charles, what do you think of this?"

"Maybe they want to play small ball, or maybe Phil expects Lin Hao to grab 35 rebounds again in this game."
