D'Antoni and Donny Walsh naturally did not dare to risk losing Zhou Mubai and told James Dolan the news overnight. Of course, Dolan would not have no objection to Zhou Mubai's opinion. As a boss, making money is still the top priority.

So Zhou Mubai's appearance was finalized, but because it was too late, the news was not disclosed.

The fifth game was held at the Staples Center. Lakers players lazily sorted out their clothes in the home locker room while listening to the assistant coach reminding the game that they need to pay attention to, but no one paid attention to. Most people were thinking about what to do after winning the championship.

Gasol wanted to finish the game and participate in the parade quickly, and then go back to Europe to have a good rest for a summer.

Kobe was thinking about where to take his wife and daughters for vacation.

Some players have even booked nightclubs and are ready to stay drunk tonight.

As for whether you can win the game tonight - do you still need to consider it?

The Knicks, without Zhou Mubai, are a bottom-line team!

"Didi! Didi!

There was a cell phone sound in the locker room, and Phil Jackson frowned. Usually, he would ask everyone to turn off their phones in a meeting.

Just as he was furious, the assistant coach pointed to his own briefcase: "Phil, it seems to be yours."

Phil Jackson reached out and turned off the phone, then signaled the assistant coach to continue.

The assistant coach continued to speak, but the entire locker room was already in a drowsy state.

"Bang!"

The door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open, making a loud noise, and everyone was startled.

Phil Jackson was furious: "Who!"

"It's me!"

A voice came.

Phil Jackson raised his eyebrows, it was Kupchek's voice. Kupchek was the Lakers' president and was Phil Jackson's boss. When Phil Jackson was still very unhappy, his locker room did not allow irrelevant personnel to enter, even the Lakers' president, which is his territory.

"I'll talk about something later. We're in a meeting." Phil Jackson said lightly.

"No, I have to say it now." Kupchek refused.

"I said, let's talk about it after the meeting."

Phil Jackson was not afraid of Kupchek. Even in front of Old Bass, if Kupchek's opinion was different from him, he would still resist. He had the qualifications.

Kupchek didn't care about Phil Jackson's attitude, but frowned and said worriedly: "I can't wait anymore. The Knicks released a message - Zhou Mubai paid for this game!"

"What!"

Everyone looked up at the same time, with fear and confusion in their eyes - why did they suddenly come back?

"Impossible, didn't you say you had to take another week off?" Fisher said anxiously.

Kupchek glanced at Fisher: "It was officially announced by the Knicks, and the league has confirmed the news."

Phil Jackson frowned tightly, as if thinking about countermeasures, pondered for a while and said: "Report to the league, use the ban on players from brain oscillating, and prohibit Zhou Mubai from playing."

The league has a brain oscillation policy. Once a player is confirmed to be brain oscillated, he can be prohibited from playing to avoid accidents.

Kupchek shook his head: "It's useless, the league believes that the Knicks' team doctor has tested it without any problem."

Phil Jackson didn't understand what was going on, and he cursed angrily: "Hmph, that old guy Stern, is just helping the Knicks!"

Kupchek shook his head: "Okay, I'll leave first, you guys can continue to have a meeting."

Kupchek left without any delay. He was only responsible for telling him that as for how to deal with it, it was Phil Jackson's problem.

Phil Jackson realized the crisis, but he immediately realized that morale could not be lost at this time. He clapped: "Don't worry, the match point is on our side now, we are leading 3:1. We only need to win one of the remaining three games, and the championship is still ours."

The assistant coach and Kobe and others also spoke and inspired each other, but the atmosphere in the locker room was not too high. What they thought was - Zhou Mubai is back, can we still win?

Zhou Mubai's first and second games gave them a shocking impression, which led to their shadows.

Compared to the Lakers' locker room, the away locker room is warm.

3:1 It is very dangerous and miserable to fall behind, but with Zhou Mubai around, the other Knicks players don’t know why, but I feel relieved anyway.

Zhou Mubai couldn't help feeling ashamed when he saw everyone's eyes looking at him eagerly. If it weren't for his selfishness, they might have been parading in the championship, rather than hiding in the Lakers' cramped away locker room.

So Zhou Mubai apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I've made everyone worry. If it weren't for my injury, we might have won the championship..."

Before Zhou Mubai finished speaking, Chandler stood up and shouted: "Zhou, what are you saying? How can you blame you for this? We should blame you. We have not been able to defend the advantage you have created!"

Most people lowered their heads in shame.

Chandler was right. Although it was not worth losing in the fourth game in the third game, the least thing was the second game. Before Zhou Mubai was injured, the Knicks were still leading by more than 20 points, and they were reversed in just a little more than a quarter. If they could defend the second game, the Knicks would not be so miserable now.

Zhou Mubai didn't mean to blame them. He knew their strength very well. Although it was pretty good, it was the finals after all. The opponent was the powerful defending champion Lakers, so it was not shameful to lose.

"Okay, we don't have to blame ourselves anymore. We still have a chance. Isn't it just three to one? It's not three to zero. The chance to turn the tables are still there. We only need to win the remaining three games. In just three games, we only have three games away from the championship!"

Zhou Mubai said that when he said this, his tone was not exciting, but the confidence revealed between the lines made people feel disappointed.

A three-to-one reversal in Zhou Mubai's words was as relaxed as if he had won three consecutive wins in the regular season.

D'Antoni no longer had the sad faces of the previous two games and said with a slight tone: "We are back in Zhou, and our chance to fight back from the Jedi is here. Let's set a small goal first, and we will beat the Lakers 44 points in this game!"

"puff!"

Nate Robinson, who was drinking water, squirted directly when he heard this.

D'Antoni glanced at Nate Robinson: "Do you have any objections?"

Nate Robinson coughed loudly and said anxiously: "The coach said it to me, beat     la!

Zhou Mubai smiled and said, "Since the coach gives us a goal, we will work hard to complete it. Our small goal in this game is to beat the Lakers 44 points!"

"Okay! Win him by 44 points!"
Chapter completed!
