The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 303 Ma Long... is soft?
The Jazz really don't look like much on paper.

Even in the past two years of entering the finals, it is the same.

Especially outstanding stars, nothing, Malone's data in the past two years is not considered an explosion.

27+10+4, very good, but compared to those monsters, it is not so good-looking.Even Fatty O, if you look at the data, it looks much better than Ma Long, and the hit rate is much higher.In addition, there were too many people with good inside data in the 90s, and the audience has long been numb to it.

However, Malone was last year's MVP, and the paper data is not so explosive, but his personal strength is actually extremely strong.

From shooting to the basket, from handwork to confrontation, he is proficient in everything.

In the absence of a super insider, the Jazz have played against various inside teams in the West. In recent years, it has been like beating a dog. Who do they rely on?
It's Ma Long's horizontal muscles.

But everyone in the Jazz found out that after Malone came to the Los Angeles Sports Center, when he was warming up...

Frequent strikes.

This surprised everyone.

You have to know that the warm-up shots of NBA players are extremely accurate, especially for mid-range shooters of Malone's level. During the warm-up, they may miss a few, but most of them will go in.

What about tonight?
After warming up for so long, you haven't invested in a few, have you?

Is this still "CIC Pretty Boy", Karl Malone?

Although the news that Ma Long was being brutalized by Zheng Tie was not spread, if Zheng Tie didn't mention it, there was no need for Ma Long.

The rest of the people didn't talk nonsense because they were afraid of Ma Long's iron elbow.

Therefore, Zheng Tie's two All-Star locker room shows were not widely circulated.

This is really too regrettable.

But if you don’t say it, the person involved can’t treat it as never happened, especially when Zheng Tie came over and joked with Ma Long——

Do you still want to challenge who is more powerful?I think your arms seem to be a little bigger, why don't you play a little more, Karl?

How dare Ma Long agree.

What happened last time left a shadow in his heart for a long time. If it weren't for Sloan and Stockton's repeated ideological work, he might not be able to get out now.

Even so, when he saw Zheng Tie, he still felt...

There is an inexplicable pressure in my heart.

"How do you talk? You actually want to compete with our great Karl Malone? Are you having trouble with your brain?"

"Karl can torture you to death with one finger, you know that, brat!"

This……

Zheng Tie just looked at No. 32 of the Jazz with a smile, and said, "Then what do you think?"

Ma Long didn't speak, pretended not to hear, and continued to warm up.

It was the sound of iron striking that proved that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

This confuses everyone in the Jazz.

Because in their impression, Karl Malone is not such a person.

People block people, God blocks God, that's Karl Malone, isn't it?
Why are you so "kind" today?
Sloan only told Stockton about this.

Seeing this, Stockton immediately blocked the gun for Malone.

The two have been in Salt Lake City for many years, and their brotherhood has long been stronger than gold.Malone can help Stockton open the scoop of "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, and Stockton will naturally stand up to protect Karl Malone's face.

The warm-up is over, and the main players of both sides are on the stage.

The small broken boats are: Zheng Tie, Da Ben, Xiao Na, Rasheed Wallace, Rodney Rogers.

The Utah Jazz are: Stockton, Malone, Russell, Hornacek, Greg Foster.

On paper, the Jazz are really not doing well. Stockton also dropped to single digits for the first time this year due to injuries.The last time his season assists were in single digits was in 86, a full 12 years ago.

And the age of this team is too old. Stockton was 62 years old, and this year is 36 years old.
Karl Malone is 35 years old.

Hornacek is 35 years old.

Greg Foster is 30 years old.

In other words, except for one Brian Russell, the rest are all 30+, or even 35+.

The average age is almost 33 years old. This is definitely an extremely veteran lineup model. Only the Houston Mosaic Pension Team has an older average age than them this year.Such a lineup, generally speaking, will drop sharply.It's a pity that they are not like this this year.

Utah, Salt Lake City, where Zheng Tie was at the beginning.

It was a relatively small city in the 90s, so basically these people were training except for training, and there was basically no indulgence here.Because there is nothing that can give you indulgence.

Stockton once joked that if it weren't for the fact that Salt Lake City would not see people at 10 o'clock every night, he would not have such a long career.

Therefore, for them, training is the best way to pass the time.

Of course, Ma Long is an exception. A person who gives birth to a child at the age of 20 and grows up a 13-year-old girl is definitely not an honest person.

But if he is in good health, even if he can make it, you can't help it.

In contrast, Little Broken Boat is a youthful type, all kinds of young people, all kinds of high school students, are simply full of vitality.

jump ball.

The opposite center, Greg Foster, is just making up the numbers, averaging about ten minutes per game, a typical false starter.

Moreover, his physical fitness is also very average, except for his height and physique, there is nothing to show for it.

Rasheed Wallace takes the ball easily.

In the beginning, the little wreck was onslaught.

It is to use the youthful aura to blow up the opponents, these "grandfathers".

Facing Russell, Zheng Tie immediately moved, easily slipping away to fight Russell. Russell seemed to have been beaten by Zheng Tie, and he was blown up several times in the regular season. Now I can vividly remember it when I close my eyes.This allowed the Clippers to quickly take the lead, and the opponent's aura was not adjusted at the beginning, so what are you waiting for if you don't grab it.

Nash Jr. could also see that Stockton was old after all. Although he was his idol, he was not as good as himself in running.

The "Son of the Wind", who has slowly grown long hair, has gradually become what people in later generations will remember. Every time he runs, he will grow hair and dance, looking very free and agile.

Although Stockton also desperately followed, his physical fitness has not been particularly good. The regular season career is only 31+, and the playoffs are only 35+. Very ordinary.Due to injury factors this season, Sloan has reduced his appearances. So far, he has played 29+ minutes in the first round and only 26+ minutes in the second round.

What is this concept?Not to mention the 90s, even 20 years later, when the ten-man rotation was the basic operation, this playing time was too little for one of the core team building players.

Can you imagine a star with one of the dual cores playing 20+ minutes in every round of the playoffs?
Paul?Westbrook?Kobe? 20+?

Therefore, this year's Stockton was really affected by injuries, and his playing time reached the lowest level of his career since he started his career.

This is also the only time that Nash has completely surpassed his playoff opponents in terms of physical fitness and physical fitness, including height and wingspan.

Jr. Nash asked for a pick-and-roll from the top arc, and rushed in with an acceleration. The S "Wind Pick-and-Roll" quickly broke the game, coupled with Daben's high-quality cover... Xiaona went in and lost.

The Jazz came to help defend, but half of the defense, huh?
Why is there no basketball?
The basketball that was still in the hands of No. 13 just now disappeared at some point.

When Greg Foster turned his head, Rasheed Wallace was already hanging on the basket, roaring with his long arms.

"Scored in the alley-oop! Tonight's start of the small broken boat was very lively." Director Zhang said: "Steve Nash is the assist king this season, and Stockton of the Jazz is the history assist king. The duel also has the meaning of inheritance from young to old."

The Jazz attacked and hit the iron. The ball missed the shot. The small broken boat protected the rebound and immediately counterattacked quickly.

Run up, Xiaona.

The small wreck was made of Nash as a whole, and rushed out quickly without hesitation at all.

This kind of quick counterattack is not the Jazz's dish at all.

They are all old, running like this consumes too much energy, even if they try their best, their legs and feet may not be able to keep up.

Nash Jr. gave Zheng Tie, the Clippers No. 7, and he didn't stop the ball. In the past, he made a chasing three-pointer.

There are still two steps away from the three-point line, pull up and shoot.

brush--

hit.

The Jazz wanted to play a tactic with this ball, but it was a pity that they didn't succeed. When they caught the ball, the rhythm was a bit wrong, and the ball was almost taken away by Zheng Tie.Fortunately, "National father-in-law" Hornacek made a diving dive and swept the ball to Karl Malone, so the ball was not lost and the offensive round was saved.

Karl Malone could have gone directly to the basket at this time. In terms of physical strength, even the current second-year Wallace is not as strong as him.

After all, the tonnage has increased a lot.

If you force it, his ball has an impact, and Da Ben may not be able to stop it.

After all, they will be MVP players next year, so there is no need to doubt their ability.

Can……

Ma Long didn't go up, but chose to pass the ball instead. This wave of operations made Da Ben almost lose his waist.

If it weren't for Rasheed Wallace's quick response, he would have been slipped away by the Jazz.

This ball has a good basketball IQ.

Big Ben looked at the muscular No. 32 and thought to himself.

But he didn't expect that this was actually not a question of basketball IQ at all, but...

Another pass?
Big Ben's eyes were about to pop out, the ball was obviously a good chance, why was it passed?
After the "national father-in-law" Hornacek successfully received the ball and made an empty cut, Ben Wallace wondered whether this big muscular bully could "read minds"...why every time he wanted to defend, he was watched A pair?
Until, when Big Ben received the ball from Nash Jr. in the next round, made an air cut hard top, and after driving the defender in the low post, he succeeded in dunking with both hands - he found something was wrong.

Because the person he pushed back was called Karl Malone.

Big Ben:? ? ?
90年代中期，卡尔.马龙越练越大，现在是300+磅的大家伙，一身肌肉横练已经到了登峰造极地步。最简单的比方就是今年的“四星”湖人队原本在西决和爵士队相遇。在“大鲨鱼”奥尼尔爆砍31+9+1+1的数据，却依然被爵士队干净4-0横扫出局。

Why?Because Karl Malone also got 30+10 plus 4.5 assists.

At the critical moment, Sloan even directly arranged for Karl Malone to play a dislocation defense, and let O'Neal play the Jazz at the 5th position, which is very hot.Last year's O'Neal was even worse. Can you believe that he only averaged 22 points per game against the Jazz?

Therefore, the defensive confrontation ability, this No. 32 has always been at the historical BUG level.

Big Ben is only about 250 pounds now, so it is unlikely that he will open the space and take off for a dunk.

Not to mention, on the offensive end, No. 32, who was originally the most important part of the Jazz's tactical system, was not in the established position to help Stockton pick and roll?

This is where the Jazz can't believe it.

The pick-and-roll tacit understanding between Malone and Stockton has been integrated for so many years.

How could it not be in place?
But facts are facts.

He missed the pick-and-roll, double-teamed Stockton, and plunged into the crowd in one breath...a turnover on the spot.

The little team immediately pushed quickly. Zheng Tie flew up high and rode down quickly. Little Nash and him ran over, one on the left and one on the right. The latter made a layup. Oh, no, this ball was a "top board".Then, you saw No. 7 of the little team, leaping high, and then the rebound ball, an alley-oop dunk, and a big windmill into the basket.

The entire Los Angeles stadium was filled with passion and thunderous roars.

This can hurt the popularity of the Jazz.

No.

You Karl Malone, last year's regular season MVP, the No. 4 player in NBA history, the most muscular bully, tell me, you can't stand a short insider?In the case of similar strength, the tonnage is the most powerful guarantee for how much you can play.Therefore, in the eyes of the entire Jazz, Karl Malone shouldn't be able to stand up.

O'Neal couldn't stand up to him last year. You think a big man can do it?
Jazz fans almost cursed.

Mormons are not good people.

Stockton passed the ball to Malone, and Malone took a mid-range shot.

There is no problem if the ball does not go in. After entering the mid-90s, Karl Malone has long been a "flesh tank" and has become a "CIC pretty boy". K. Nowitzki.

This mid-range efficiency is simply the absolute overlord of mid-range shots at the 4th position.

So O’Neill is too strong and too muscular, so it’s an excuse that he can’t practice free throws. Ma Long is stronger than him in terms of strength and muscle, and his shots are softer. Every time Zheng Tie sees his video Collection will doubt...

Is this guy a biochemically modified artificial human?

Big muscle bully and soft mid-range shot are more suitable, right?
Indulge in silky smoothness?

Zheng Tie rushed over, hoping to disturb Karl Malone a little, but it was too far away for him to yell—"rebound".

I hope there will be some "sonic interference".

Really—

when--

Let Karl Malone directly strike the iron.

Forget one, after all, no one can guarantee that every ball can be thrown, even the old hooligans.

but……

Ma Long, who has such a strong mid-range shot and such excellent efficiency, continued to hit the iron and played gorgeous music under Zheng Tie's supplementary defense.

He even voted for a non-stick time, which made everyone suspect...

Did the Jazz's No. 32 take the wrong medicine?

Or the story of what I had to tell when I came to Los Angeles last night.

Otherwise, why would his hands...

so soft?

This is not like the performance that an "iron elbow killer" should make.

Karl Malone made 7 of 1 shots in the first quarter.

The hit rate is a poor 14%.

On the defensive end, Big Ben made consecutive air cuts, and was pushed in by Rasheed Wallace to throw the ball and lick the basket.

Let alone Karl Malone, it is convincing to say that he is "Utah Love".

As a team with few giants, even looking at the statistics, now that Ma Long is the absolute core of offense and defense...

He beat it like this.

The Jazz have no reason to win.

In fact, the team's dependence on Karl Malone is even greater than the Bulls' dependence on Jordan. In 99, when Malone averaged only 20 points per game in the semifinals, he was eliminated by the Trail Blazers.

Therefore, the angry Utah fans feel that Malone, who has become "Utah Love", must be...

Just right for the bad money of the Los Angeles team.

Otherwise, how could it be like this?

so soft?
Don't say men hate it.

Girls hate it even more.

The Jazz entered the locker room trailing 46 points 55-9 in the first half.
