章 688: Chapter 483: The Out-of-Focus Person

After the timeout ended, LeBron James did what Phil Jackson had hoped he would do.

From the beginning, the Zen Master had envisioned James as a high-end version of Pippen to partner with Kobe.

If Kobe was 90% of Jordan, then a high-end Pippen should spark unparalleled chemistry with him.

So far this season, the Zen Master had not seen such signs.

Although the Lakers were currently the top-ranked team in the league, this was mainly due to their strong lineup and high floor, and the chemistry of the KJ combination had always remained at the level of "Kobe plays then James plays".

Tonight, a whimsical in-game decision by the Zen Master to put James at the power forward position led to the team being suppressed.

The Zen Master quickly realized his mistake and made a decisive adjustment, moving James back to the small forward position and bringing on Artest, but not before giving Artest a dose of psychological encouragement before he hit the floor.
