Phil Jackson was brought in by the Pistons to help consult during their
coaching search, but apparently he can't let his Piston-inflicted wounds heal.
Jackson has 11 championship rings as a coach but suffered arguably the most
embarrassing loss of his coaching career at the hands of the 2004 Pistons,
who defeated the star-studded Lakers in five games.
Doing a radio interview with ESPN's Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo on
Thursday, Jackson was asked how Shaquille O'Neal would fare if he were placed
in Wilt Chamberlain's era.
Jackson proceeded to seemingly take a shot at the Pistons and former coach
Larry Brown, insinuating the Pistons flopped against O'Neal during that
series and that it led to the Lakers' demise.
2004年NBA總決賽，底特律活塞隊以4-1的總比分戰勝了擁有四大天王的洛杉磯湖人隊
，在那個系列賽中，湖人隊唯一贏下的一場比賽是系列賽的第二戰 (Kobe在常規時間
終結前命中三分，拖入加時賽）。近日禪師Phil Jackson在接受ESPN的電台採訪時談
到了2004年湖人與活塞隊的NBA總決賽。
"Larry Brown taught guys to go down (flop) on Shaq and that's one of the
reasons they won in '04," Jackson said. "He had the center, (Ben) Wallace as
the David in that matchup and those (plays) were called as charges."
「Larry Brown（時任活塞主帥）教他們的球員在防守 Shaq時假摔，那是他們為什麼
能奪冠的原因之一，」禪師做客ESPN電台時說，「他有中鋒，(Ben) Wallace 與Shaq
進行對位，而那些進攻都被吹成了進攻犯規。」
The series wasn't even as close as the 4-1 ledger indicated, as the Lakers'
only win came courtesy of Kobe Bryant saving them in Game 2 with a 3-pointer
that sent the game into overtime.
2003-04賽季總決賽，湖人隊以1-4不敵活塞隊。4場比賽，他們只在第2戰主場因Kobe
的三分而打進加時賽最終以99-91取勝過。
The Pistons blew the Lakers out in two of their four wins, including the
clincher, where they led by 27 in the fourth quarter, in big part due to
flopping, according to Jackson.
禪師 Phil Jackson暗示，湖人隊之所以在2003-04賽季總決賽不敵活塞隊痛失總冠軍
和對方假摔有關。
"Shaq would put a shoulder into you and test how close he could get to the
basket," said Jackson, who's on a tour promoting his book "Eleven Rings."
「Shaq會用肩膀壓著你以測試他能多靠近籃筐，（所以這給了活塞可趁之機），」禪
師說。
O'Neal was one of the few Lakers who had a good series against the Pistons,
averaging 26.6 points and 10.8 rebounds on 63 percent shooting.
這輪系列賽，O'Neal是湖人隊為數不多發揮較好的球員之一。當時，他場均出戰42.6
分鐘，場均得到26.6分10.8個籃板（3個前場籃板）1.6次助攻，命中率高達63%。 首
戰，他16投13中，12罰8中得到34分11個籃板。第4戰，他出戰47分鐘，21投16中，11
罰4中得到36分20個籃板2次助攻和1次火鍋。但這都未能挽救湖人隊。
Bryant took nearly 30 more shots than O'Neal and shot just 38 percent as the
Pistons steamrolled Jackson's Lakers, so his comments ring a bit hollow.
Kobe在2004年決賽上的整體表現要差很多。他的總出手次數比O'Neal多將近30次， 5
場比賽，他在場均46.2分鐘的時間裡可以貢獻 22.6分4.4個籃板2.8個籃板和1.8次抄
截，但命中率僅為38.1%，三分命中率更是只有17.4%。
Jackson is friends with current Pistons owner Tom Gores, who purchased the
team well after they beat the Lakers in 2004. Jackson is involved with the
coaching search as an unpaid assistant.
值得一提的是，禪師目前的身份是活塞隊的球隊顧問（無薪），目前正幫助活塞隊進
行選帥。他和活塞隊現任老闆 Tom Gores是朋友，後者於2011年6月2日成為活塞隊的
老闆。
