May 6, 1996, Los Angeles, Great Western Forum Arena. The Los Angeles Lakers ushered in the first game of the second round of the playoffs at home. ??Facing the powerful Utah Jazz at home. Because of Lin Han, the relationship between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz is somewhat like an old enemy. However, such an old enemy is not like an ordinary old enemy. Most common rivals are fans who support each other's hatred towards each other. But the Jazz and the Lakers. It is entirely the players who support the hatred value with the opponent. The relationship between Ma Long and Lin Han is complicated and confusing. Lin Han¡¯s attitude towards Ma Long is very ambiguous. Ma Long¡¯s attitude towards Lin Han was very direct. It¡¯s like a fist hitting cotton made of steel wire. Only Malone who punched knows what it feels like. After Lin Han came to the Lakers, he led the Lakers to a miraculous championship last season. The Great Western Forum, the current home of the Lakers, is definitely one of the most welcoming home stadiums in the league. Before the game even started, all the Lakers fans in the audience were already shouting Lin Han¡¯s name and booing Marlon Stockton. Before the game, shouting Lin Han¡¯s name and singing for Lin Han is a fixed item for Lakers fans. But booing Malone, this is not a fixed project. Lakers fans are different from fans of other teams. ???For example, compare it to Celtics fans. The Lakers and Celtics are the two giants in the NBA. But the styles of the fans of the two teams are completely different. The Celtics give people a feeling of passion to the core. The team is passionate and the fans are passionate. They place great emphasis on that kind of spiritual power. The Lakers will put more emphasis on elegance. This has something to do with the founders of the Celtics and Lakers. It was the Cardinals who laid the foundation and style of the Celtics. It was Magic who laid the foundation for the Lakers' style. The cardinal plays with passion and spiritual strength. ? And the magician plays with elegance. Therefore, at the Celtics' home court, you will often hear them booing their away opponents. But in the Lakers¡¯ home court, like now, it¡¯s not easy for all the fans to boo just one or two people. Maybe it¡¯s easier to applaud the other person. From another perspective, to be booed like this by Lakers fans in Los Angeles, Malone and Stockton are considered to be at the peak of their lives. "Thank Malone and Stockton for bringing Lin Han to the Lakers. They should enjoy our booing celebrations." "Maybe it will be more effective if we thank Malone and Stockton before the game." I don't know which one before the game. Proposed by the fans organization. Before the game between the Lakers and Jazz, a large number of fans really thanked Malone and booed him. This made Ma Long speechless at the scene. He would always feel extremely embarrassed when something like black history was mentioned again and again. "Karl, don't be affected by the fans. The Lakers are not the Spurs. The Lakers will not give us the opportunity to make mistakes!" "I know that I will not be angered by anyone in this game. I only want the championship this season." After defeating the Spurs , Ma Long is very confident. The Spurs are not an ordinary strong team, but a super strong team with eight superstars. Such victories and promotions greatly increase morale. If the Jazz last season faced the Lakers this season, Jerry Sloan would not have any luck. His coaching level or on-the-spot performance are of no use. Now, when the two teams are close in strength, his coaching ability can be brought into play. "The Jazz are going to play one senior and four juniors in this game, and Spencer will not start." "Obviously Jerry Sloan thinks that Spencer, who successfully blocked David Robinson's counterattack in the last round, is of no use against the Lakers. "The starting players of both sides in this game, the Lakers' side is the unbeatable combination of Mutombo, Rodman, Eddie Jones and Linhan Joe Dumars, while the Jazz's side is Malone, Stowe Cotton, Hornacek, Steve Smith, Russell. ""Jazz, this is a very fast lineup. This should be the strategy for Lin Han's passing." "Jerry Sloan vs. Lin. Han is very familiar with it. To defend Lin Han alone, this defensive strategy is"Invented by Jerry Sloan" "Using Malone as the center in a small lineup is the secret weapon of the Jazz, but it is also quite risky" "Facing the Lakers, the Jazz can't do it without taking risks" The Jazz must beat the Lakers To be more adventurous, it is normal to let Spencer play five and Malone play four. This will greatly reduce the offensive space, but the Lakers will not drop Lin Han's offense. The offensive method and the number of points scored in a game are all determined. Therefore, if the Jazz wants to defeat the Lakers, it must make breakthroughs and take risks on offense. It is simply unrealistic to defend Lin Han's offense. It's difficult enough, how much harder can it be to defend? In the final analysis, a basketball game is a game of trying to score more points. When the opponent knows he can't defend him, he only scores so many points in every game. How can you win against this opponent? Naturally, you won't do anything to improve your defense. No matter how strong the defense is, the opponent can score easily, so defense is meaningless when facing Lin Han, but Malone. They can play on the offensive end, as long as they score more points than the Lakers. If they want to change the offense, they have to take risks and put Steve Smith in the starting lineup. , Hornacek¡¯s lineup. Except for Malone¡¯s ability to play hard inside, Hornacek¡¯s three-point shooting percentage this season is 47%. Don's is 42%, Russell's is 40%, and Steve Smith's is 35%. Even the lowest Steve Smith is a very good shooter in the current NBA. What's more, Steve Smith is responsible. It's not outside the three-point line, but in the mid-range! This tactic is already very obvious, so that Malone can better use his overall offensive advantage, and he can play hard inside with Hornacek or. Stockton can also pass the ball in pick-and-rolls. Such a lineup can almost maximize Malone's influence on the offensive end! However, such a change will make the Jazz shorter overall. Whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, no one knew. Malone couldn¡¯t jump Mutombo on the first ball, so the Jazz lost a jump ball in the middle circle. ¡°The game finally started! " Before the game, Malone heard many Lakers fans thanking him. Of course, such thanks are not real thanks. He is not an idiot. This is a humiliation to him! Faced with the humiliation of these Lakers fans, if he is not angry, then It's impossible, but he knows that it's useless to be angry! He needs to use his results to wash away all of this! He needs to use a championship to lead the team alone. After the series with the Spurs, he felt very good! Great! He felt that omnipotence! Facing David Robinson, who is also one of the eight superstars, he did whatever he wanted! Now, he wants to maintain this omnipotence until the end of the season. He will become the final champion, and he will also wash away all the stains on his body! ¡°The Jazz¡¯s lineup is very small now, and the Lakers have many options to attack! "The Jazz used a small lineup in this game, and the role of the defensive end was to choke Lin Han's pass. Facing Stockton's single defense, Lin Han surprisingly did not rush to pull out as much as he did in the regular season. Regular season and Jazz He played every game until the end, which means that his constant pull-out style of play could not kill the Jazz at once. When he did not have the physical strength to pull up, he picked up the mid-range as a weapon again. And his teammates' hands were cold. In the end, there was no way to kill the Jazz with one hammer, and they would even be chased by the Jazz in the end. The Jazz put up such a small lineup and asked Stockton to guard him alone. This was a trick. He was clearly allowed to make three-pointers continuously. If he really did this, wouldn't he be following Jerry Sloan's advice? After Lin Han advanced the ball to the frontcourt, he signaled to Mutombo inside. Soon, Mutombo mentioned the upper limit. "Lin Han was ready to play pick-and-roll with Mutombo. He had already seen the problem of the Jazz's small lineup.??No frame protection! "It's very difficult for Malone to do now. If he follows, the inside line will be empty. If he doesn't follow Mutombo and Lin Han in the pick-and-roll, and help Lin Han block Stockton, it will be an open three-pointer!" Letting Lin Han shoot an open three-pointer is almost no different from committing suicide! "Since the Jazz are going to use a small lineup for this game, they are naturally prepared. Malone did not hesitate at all. When Lin Han and Mutombo were preparing for the pick-and-roll, he immediately followed them. "Pick-and-roll substitutions, Malone did not Give Lin Han an opportunity to open up. However, after the substitution, the basketball in Lin Han's hands went to Mutombo's hands like a magic trick, facing his defender. It was Stockton and Russell who defended the basket. Mutombo could almost ignore it! If Russell didn't stay in position, he would dunk directly "Russell. His defensive anticipation was very good, blocking Mutombo's approach, but he could no longer defend his opponent Eddie Jones. He made a beautiful two-handed dunk, and Mutombo's condescending pass was also very good. Excellent, of course, what is even more outstanding is Lin Han's extremely comfortable behind-the-back pass as the initiator of this attack! "Although he had thought that the Lakers would attack like this, Jerry Sloan was still a little surprised when he saw the Lakers really play this kind of overall offense. "He has really changed now." If it was last season, he believed, Facing Stockton's one-on-one defense, Lin Han will not hesitate to make a three-pointer! In this way, the disadvantage of the Jazz's small lineup will be completely covered up, even if Lin Han makes another three-pointer. It's great, but it's only a 50% shooting rate! 50% shooting rate is very impressive, but Lin Han can't take unlimited shots, and he can't beat the Jazz! Other players lost their offensive rhythm and wasted their teammates' best offensive opportunities. Lin Han and the Lakers faced few challenges in the regular season, so even if the other Lakers players lost their rhythm, it was okay. But in the playoffs, this kind of attack is coming. Losing the rhythm in a competitive game would be very dangerous. Lin Han saw this danger, so he changed! Lin Han's change was not an improvement in strength, but an improvement in his golf intelligence and understanding of basketball. This series with the Lakers is harder than he thought! Because he was taught a lesson by Malone in the regular season, Rodman is ready to take revenge in the second half of the season. In addition to improving statistics and shining points on the court, Lin Han imitated Malone to beat him. Now, finally facing Malone again, Rodman was fully prepared to wrestle with Malone. But, this game! Malone is playing center, and if Rodman takes away Mutombo's defender, Mutombo will be very uncomfortable. If Rodman doesn't follow him, he will have problems protecting the frame. Three-point shot opportunities, and there were a lot of players on the Jazz court who shot 40% of their three-pointers. Mutombo finally gritted his teeth and went out. As for the issue of frame protection, it was just a question of whether to follow or not. Can you believe that Rodman can withstand Malone one-on-one? Mutombo was just about to go outside to stare at Russell when he heard a dunk behind him and looked back. Malone hung on the basket. "From this defense, it can be seen that Rodman is well prepared. Compared with the regular season, he can withstand Malone, but his body is still too thin compared to Malone. Well, after Malone's powerful collision, Rodman went up to meet him and couldn't defend Malone's back turn. "This style of back-turning. Full of O'Neal's shadow. Lin Han has been paying attention to Malone playing Rodman. Although Rodman has practiced with him for half a season, he is very well prepared. But he simulated After all, Malone is different from Malone. He is much thinner than Malone. After he knocked Rodman away, it was impossible for him to turn around like Malone. He was indeed the one who beat the general to tears in the last round. . Even if the general was attacked by Malone, it was incredible that Lin Han did not attack the Jazz's trap after the game started.He's organizing his teammates. The Jazz, on the other hand, are constantly using Malone's offensive influence to score points. Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 16-16. The offensive efficiency of both sides was quite high! "Dennis, are you okay?" "He is much better than I thought!" Instead of being hit as much as Lin Han was worried about, Rodman looked very excited! "Lin, I don't want your help in this game, I want to deal with him alone!" "As you wish." With Lin Han's permission, Rodman was very happy, and so was Lin Han. This feeling of being surrounded by helpers was something he couldn't feel last season. Last season, after Malone exploded, he would have to take care of Malone personally. If someone else exploded, he would have to take care of others. How good it is now, even if the opponent explodes, I still have something to match up with. As for being beaten to death by Ma Long? Of course it doesn¡¯t exist! As long as the first half is a deadlock with the Jazz, he won¡¯t have the final say in the second half! Please remember the first domain name of this book: m.
