The first game of the playoffs between the Lakers and Jazz was very intense. In the last round, the Lakers and Jazz both defeated their opponents by chopping melons and vegetables. They are all the kind of mode where you want to completely kill your opponent from the very beginning. But this game. The two teams were anxious from the beginning. And the anxiety of these two teams is not due to poor performance, which is why they cannot distance themselves from their opponents. Both teams performed too well. If one team performs slightly worse, they may become anxious! When the two teams played in the first quarter, the score was 16 to 16, a draw! After the whole quarter, the score was 34 to 33, and the Lakers won by one point at home! ! Halfway through the second quarter, the score was 47 to 48. During this period, the substitutes of both sides were on the court, and the Lakers were one point behind at home! Until Lin Han came on the court again in the second quarter, the Lakers' first offense was dominated by Lin Han's bulldozer-like breakthrough to the basket for a dunk. Will lead the score to 49 to 48 again! And this time the scores are staggered, this is also the tenth time the scores have been staggered in this game so far! "In the first half of this game, most of Lin Han's points were bulldozer-style breakthrough dunks. The Jazz lowered the height of the basket. As long as Stockton made the slightest defensive mistake, the other Jazz players would shrink. The protection will be insufficient and it will give Lin Han a chance to get to the basket. Lin Han's timing of attack has reached an incredible level! ""In the regular season this season, Lin Han's offensive method is very reckless. There are many difficult three-point pull-ups, but in this game, facing Jerry Sloan's lower height, increased movement and Stockton's single defense, Lin Han's style of play changed, that kind of extremely high We no longer see difficult three-pointers. What we see is more of Lin Han taking advantage of the opponent's defensive loopholes to break through and making open three-pointers after being blocked by the defender after picking and rolling with his teammates. " "This style of play makes! Although Lin Han does not have such explosive output, he has made the entire Lakers very balanced on the offensive end. It can be seen that Lin Han deliberately made him and the Lakers balanced! " "This season is different from last season. Standing with Lin Han this season are Mutombo, Rodman, Joe Dumas and Eddie Jones. They are more worthy of Lin Han's trust. In this game, Lin Han did trust them enough. " "This is a very exciting game. Jerry Sloan's defensive strategy against Lin Han gave Lin Han an opportunity to change! " This game between the Lakers and the Jazz is the focus of the entire league. When this game was going on, whether it was the Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets or Seattle SuperSonics, they were all paying attention. Who makes the Lakers the best team this season and the strongest team? All strong teams will ultimately target the Lakers! As for the Jazz, they were the team that attracted the most attention in the playoffs. David Robinson was beaten to tears. The strength of this team makes everyone look forward to what kind of sparks they can have with the Lakers! In the first half of this focus game, other NBA teams and superstars who were paying attention to this game were not disappointed. It should be said that they were all shocked! "Gary, did the Lakers and Jazz make any mistakes in the first half?" "I don't know, I didn't pay attention." Gary Payton shook his head in confusion. He was so focused on watching the game that he really didn¡¯t notice whether the two teams made any mistakes. This game is really exciting! The two teams actually scored an incredible score of 64-64 in the first half of the playoffs. You know, this is the playoffs between the Lakers and Jazz! It¡¯s not the Lakers and Warriors or the SuperSonics and Timberwolves! Facing the Jazz, if it were the SuperSonics, it would be impossible to score 64 points in halftime anyway! Similarly, facing the Lakers, the SuperSonics can't do this! The intensity of the game between the Jazz and the Lakers is terrifying! ??And in such a high-intensity game, can the two teams actually compete to this extent? This is a typical fight between gods! Just like last year¡¯s finals, Lin Han and Jordan did what they did in the finals! It¡¯s just that this time it¡¯s teams and teams instead of players and players! "During the rotation phase in the first half, the Lakers made a mistake. The Jazz made zero mistakes in the half. The Lakers' mistake was caught by the Jazz and they made a counterattack." "I remembered, it was Tyus."Did Denis get blocked that time? Blocking a shot is not considered a mistake, right? " "Statistically, that time was counted as a steal, and it was also the Lakers' only mistake in the first half." "In this way, the two teams really played an almost perfect half-time game." "This The half-time game is of great reference value." After SuperSonics head coach George Karl finished speaking, all the SuperSonics players present nodded. "Facing this kind of single defense, Lin Han no longer just goes crazy, but He chooses to cooperate more with his teammates. This is a huge change! Facing single defense, Lin Han not only has a lot of shooting space, but also has a lot of shooting space to use to shoot and hold the ball. The ball space can be used to cooperate with teammates. It depends on Lin Han's choice. In the end, Lin Han chose to cooperate with his teammates in the first half and punished the Jazz's small lineup. Will Han still be like this when facing the SuperSonics? However, it is obvious that the Lakers and Lin Han, who are now more comfortable, will be more difficult to deal with than before. Moreover, as the commentator of this game, Larry Bird, said. . Now the other Lakers players are really worthy of Lin Han's trust, allowing Lin Han to hand over the ball more! This will directly cause Lin Han to act as a check for other Lakers players, and other Lakers players will also act for Lin Han. A perfect virtuous cycle of containment. This virtuous cycle is much more durable than the previous situation where Lin Han simply contained his teammates. At least, Lin Han did not have to worry about a sudden power outage, which was the case when the Lakers lost to the SuperSonics. Lin Han suddenly lost power. Lin Han lost power, and the Lakers also lost. The Lakers formed a virtuous circle in this game, and the Jazz also changed to a smaller lineup. It means giving up defense and choosing to maximize the offense. Malone will control the long guns on the outside. At the same time, the long guns on the outside will also be controlled by Malone. This kind of attack is one big and four small, one inside and four outside. The method is very common in the current NBA. The Rockets, the old rival of the Sonics, are like this, and the Magic are also like this. However, neither Olajuwon nor O'Neal has the offensive comprehensiveness of Malone now! As an inside offensive player, it is really perfect! The Jazz's one-star four-shooter is definitely the strongest one-star four-shooter in NBA history! Otherwise, the Jazz would not be able to hold on to the score when the Lakers performed so perfectly. Malone is truly invincible inside, which neither O'Neal nor Olajuwon can do! Rodman's defense is already very good, but when his defensive position is excellent and he can withstand Malone, Malone Just pull out for a pick-and-roll or shoot. When Rodman's position is not good, he will force Rodman. As long as other Lakers players come to double-team, his release is extremely timely. The hard power is already so strong, and it is also extremely cunning, so there is no way it can be done! In this half of the game, the SuperSonics felt that it made sense for USA Today to rank Malone third on the strength list, surpassing Olajuwon O'Neal and second only to Lin Han and Jordan. "After all, he is the most powerful power forward in history." Although many people in front of the TV still despise Malone as a person, they are still convinced by the strength he has shown. "Fortunately, Malone had problems with his character and finally pushed Lin Han away from the Jazz. Otherwise" George Karl really felt extremely lucky. If Lin Han and Ma Long continue to be on the same team, everyone else will just go to sleep. There are two historical stars on one team, one is the number one power forward in history, and the other is the number one player in history. Unless Jordan Chamberlain is put on a team, there is really no way to play. His SuperSonics cannot defeat such a team. Malone played very focused in this game! ???????? If it were last season, or even the first half of this season. He has already played so perfectly, but Lin Han has not exerted his strength yet, but the Jazz are still not ahead, so he will definitely get angry. Now, after the start of the second half, Malone is still calmly following the tactics of head coach Jerry Sloan, putting him in the Jazz as a whole to contend with the Lakers. rather thanHe took it out and played a one-on-one showdown with the Lakers and the Cavaliers. Malone knows very well that anyone who plays one-on-one with the Lakers will not end well! Just look at Jordan in last season¡¯s finals! Just look at his first two regular season games with the Lakers this season! Jordan and his one-on-one performance have been at their best in these games, but they still lost to Lin Han! He hated Lin Han very much. As his younger brother, Lin Han took away everything from him. Without Lin Han, he would have been the dominant player in the NBA in the past two years, winning two consecutive regular season MVPs and Finals MVPs! Rather than being abandoned by Jazz fans, disdained by other players in the league, and ridiculed by the American media like now. What does it mean to accept a fate inferior to Lin Han and become the second-in-command of the Jazz? He is not the second-in-command of ten-thousand-year-olds! This year, he wants to be the boss, not only the boss of the Jazz, but also the boss of the league! Before Malone appeared, no one in the league had ever encountered a player like Malone with almost perfect interior offensive skills. When Rodman first met Malone, he was so angry that he lost his temper. In the last round, even the generals couldn't slow down when facing Malone in the whole series. Under the special training of Lin Han, Rodman is definitely the player with the best experience in defending Malone in the league. It¡¯s just that having the best knowledge doesn¡¯t mean you can prevent it! Rodman has a lot of defensive experience, and Rodman¡¯s defensive attitude is also extremely correct. But in the end, Rodman discovered that he really couldn¡¯t handle Malone now! After Ma Long tested him twice with his back, he pulled him away directly. What should he do now? ??Follow out, or still maintain the position you are standing in? ??Following out, Malone will definitely pass the ball to his teammates first, and then regain position. He will need to compete with Malone for position again. ??The defense is already at a disadvantage compared to the offense. Malone is stronger and more powerful than him. Is it easy for him to grab a favorable position? Are you going to be played like this by Ma Long? Why don¡¯t you follow me out? Watching Malone make an open half-shot layup? Calling teammates to double-team, let¡¯s not talk about the issue of face, look at the bunch of shooters on the outside of the Jazz, all the dark cannons are aimed at the basket. In this game, Malone also had many assists! In Rodman¡¯s mind, his former Spurs teammate David Robinson has a very low status. In his mind, David Robinson is a softie. But now, he really understands why David Robinson was beaten to tears by Malone! If he hadn¡¯t been trained by Lin Hante for half a season. Facing Malone like this, he is probably full of fouls, and he may be beaten and unable to take care of himself. Rodman was a little confused, but he followed in the end. Just halfway through, I originally thought that Malone would pass the ball to his teammates outside to continue to take position, but who knew that Malone stopped directly. Malone once again leaned on Rodman, and then with a beautiful back turn, Rodman passed cleanly. Feeling Malone whizzing past him, Rodman was now desperate. In this game, it was agreed that Malone would be killed one-on-one? In the end, he discovered that without the assistance of his teammates in this game, he couldn't even force Malone to pass the ball! This is very shocking! He is a third-team power forward and a first-team defensive player in the league! When a group of defensive players face a group of players, when did the gap become so big? This time, Malone used such an inductive approach to get the better of him. Rodman could only look back and watch Malone dunk. Mutombo has been pulled out. It is unlikely that he will come back to cover the defense. He is not that fast. It¡¯s just When Rodman turned around, he saw Malone flying in the air ready to dunk and Lin Han flying over from the side! Rodman found Lin Han coming and was very surprised! However, since Rodman discovered it, of course Malone also discovered it! "Lin Han's defense was very decisive, as if he already knew that Rodman couldn't guard Malone this time!" "That's for sure. In the previous games, except for Malone who missed his own shot or chose to pass the ball, Rodman didn't do anything. A successful defensive experience, but this is the first time Lin Han has helped defend Malone from the outside! To LinGenerally speaking, running does not consume physical energy. What consumes physical energy is that if you want to have the best opportunity to assist in defense, you must activate the 'Absolute Defense' skill. Therefore, Lin Han, who had been saving effort in the first half, did not participate in the defense. Besides, Rodman also looks very confident. ?Then let Rodman do it himself. As for now, it¡¯s already the second half, of course we can¡¯t let Malone do whatever he wants! Facing Lin Han¡¯s big slap, Ma Long would definitely have to fight hard. This is an opportunity to dunk Lin Han! An opportunity to make headlines around the world! How many people dream of this opportunity! And Malone still has an advantageous position! When Lin Han's big slap flew, Lin Han was surprised to find that Ma Long actually chose to pass the ball in this kind of dunk that had an 80% chance of success! Throwing the ball to Steve Smith on the left! "Malone's shot was beautiful! Steve Smith hit an open three-pointer, 83 to 82, and the Jazz took the lead again!" Steve Smith lived up to Malone's trust and hit this open three-pointer. Lin Han didn¡¯t care about Steve Smith¡¯s hit, but looked at Malone who came down from the air with him in surprise. "My dunk success rate is more than 80%, and your block success rate is 100%. If I dunk this ball, you will definitely block it, right?" "That's right." Lin Han nodded, Ma Long If he dunked just now, he would definitely have blocked the shot. "You are not the only one who is making progress in this world, but so am I. Even if my progress is not as fast as yours and my strength is no longer as good as yours, I can still defeat you!" Isn't my strength as good as mine? Looking at Ma Long¡¯s back, Lin Han was really surprised. When did Malone admit to him face to face that he was not as good as him? ??Also, when has Malone ever been so calm? Which time isn't it the same as a lunatic as a lunatic? "Lin, this goal was my fault. I was too careless." "It's okay. Dennis's defense is already very good. We all underestimated Karl." They underestimated Malone. They really underestimated Malone, otherwise he would also There is no thought that he can kill Malone one-on-one in this game. "The Lakers also believed that he could do this. "Dennis, let me defend Malone in the next game." This time, Rodman nodded without any hesitation.
