The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 305 Attacking, Mom... Bao Nan? (Dazhang asks for tickets~~~)

Utah, Salt Lake City.

"How is Carl?" Sloan asked Stockton. Stockton just came out of Malone's house and even took him to see a psychiatrist. micro.

"Wang Defa~ke~" Sloan swears again. He didn't expect that he had been preparing for a whole year and wanted to have another round with the Chicago Bulls in the Finals. As a result...

He fell down before he even touched it.

This made Sloan complain about the injustice of fate.

I just want to win a championship, no, to enter the finals again, what's wrong?
Doesn't God agree to this?
At this moment, the Utah Jazz "Mormons" all believe that the Jazz will be able to come back if they return to their plateau home court.Only those within the Jazz team know that this matter is a bit difficult.

Because the core boss of the team, Karl Malone, was inexplicably "sluggish".

This makes the family with not many stars even worse.

At this time, Stockton still had to go. He looked at his watch suddenly, and then said to Sloan: "Jerry, don't worry, I have another move in reserve. This is the last 'ultimate move'. If this is still If it doesn't work, it won't work at all."

"What? Is there anything else you can do, John?" Sloan asked immediately after hearing this.

"Let's go to the airport together. People should be here. I'll talk about it on the way." Stockton and Sloan got into the car and drove towards the airport.

……

Who is Stockton shouting?
It's not someone else, but the mother who "go home and call her mother".

He invited Karl Malone's mother from Louisiana just to teach Malone a good lesson.

Although Sloan has coached Malone for so long, he rarely interferes in matters off the court. Naturally, this is the first time he has met Malone's mother.Usually there is really no compelling reason.

When Sloan saw the middle-aged woman named Cheryl Turner, his first impression was that she was tough, quite tough.

Even though there are already heavy traces of the years, but because the blacks gave birth to children very early, it can still be seen roughly.

When he was young, he must have been muscular and his arms were thick.

According to Stockton's description, this is the last strong medicine, because his mother is the "Valkyrie" in Malone's heart.

Unlike Ma Long's father who sneaked away when he was four or five years old, Ma Long's mother raised the eight brothers and sisters alone.

And his style is "violent".

Because of developing wooden cars, hunting, washing clothes, and doing a lot of work every day, Cheryl Turner had a very bad temper when she was young, and she did all kinds of smoking and drinking, but such a woman would rather use labor for income and rejected the United States The "relief money" allocated to her by the government.It's just that this kind of strong personality will continue in life. When Ma Long was a child, if he was bullied, his mother would not comfort him immediately, but would yell at Ma Long that he dare not cry anymore——

What are you crying for?If you're a man, go back!
shit.

This is my mother.

This is really a "simple and rude" education method.

Therefore, Malone is in awe of his mother, and this awe is rooted in the soul.

Regardless of his muscular body, he is still the "crybaby" in front of his old lady.

Stockton told Sloan an interesting story about Malone when he was a rookie. In his first year in the NBA, Malone didn't dare to fight physically, so he often secretly called his mother after playing to complain.

In the first month, I actually paid seven or eight hundred dollars in phone bills.

Think about it, what a concept.

Talking on the phone with your girlfriend is not like this.

That's why Stockton said that this is the last strong medicine for Malone. If this doesn't work, then there is nothing anyone can do.

After Stockton briefly explained the situation to Cheryl Turner, the latter immediately burst into a rage, as if about to explode on the spot, babbling something in his mouth, which was not a good thing anyway.Upon arriving at Malone's house, Stockton signaled Sloan and himself not to go in again, leaving the rest to Cheryl Turner.

I don’t know what was behind it, but Sloan heard a huge roar when Stockton drove not far away.

At the same time, the sound of "ping ping pong pong" came together.

This Nima.

Is she really Carl's mother?
If it were me, I'd be afraid that I wouldn't survive childhood.

……

The whole little wreck flew to Salt Lake City.

The home court of the Jazz is very difficult to play, mainly because the altitude is 1300-1500 meters, walking and running feels nothing, if you play fierce confrontation at the NBA level, there will be negative effects immediately.Pippen once said, playing here, the playoffs are a kind of torture.

But the good thing about coming here is...

Don't even think about any nightlife.

The folk customs in Salt Lake City are very simple. It is said that Jazz tickets sell so well because——

In the whole Salt Lake City night, only here can drink beer.

Thinking about the fact that his birth point was here from the beginning, Zheng Tie also said that it would be difficult if you don’t practice football or exercise.

Because besides these, you really don’t know what else you should do.

After the training, I rested for an afternoon and waited for the game to start in the evening.

I thought it would be another easy game.

You can win 3-0, and then prepare to enter the Finals and wait for the overlord of the 90s, the Chicago Bulls.

such a pity.

Tonight's Karl Malone, except for a palm-sized shoe print on his face, everything else has returned to normal.

So at the beginning, the little broken boat was beaten by the Jazz and was a little confused.

The game started 12-0, with the Jazz at 12 and the small team at 0.

But the teaching assistants didn't say anything.

Because this was Salt Lake City in the 90s, it was a normal situation.This is the home field of the plateau. When you first arrive, your body is a little slower than your brain to adapt.

So easy to slow down.

But after playing, they found that something was wrong. The Jazz continued to expand the score difference, and gradually reached 16-0.

With the Jazz Stockton making 2 of 1 free throws, the score difference has come in the blink of an eye... 17 points.

What's happening here?The Jazz are so fierce?
Could it be that they went back to the home court and got bloody?

"The Clippers expanded their defense. The Clippers used this defensive method in the first two games. They not only controlled the opponent's inside line, but also controlled the opponent's outside line. Pitino, don't look like a rookie coach in the NBA, but They have a great reputation in the NCAA." As soon as he finished speaking, the Jazz hit the basket again and succeeded, pulling the score to 18 points.

Zheng Tie cut in without the ball, but the ball was yanked by someone who didn't know who it was, and then the ball that should have been received in place suddenly fell through.

The Jazz attacked again, and Karl Malone played back and singled out Rasheed Wallace.

20 points?

The little broken boat didn't even get a single point.

To put it simply, it’s a fool’s errand.

The big victories in the first two games made them a little careless. People are such animals. If you have a big lead, you can't do it without underestimating the enemy.

It’s impossible to concentrate everything 100%, let alone super level.

The substitute lineup that was replaced was also fooled.

Stephen Jackson was dumped as soon as he entered, and his ankle was slightly twisted when he landed.

Zheng Tie hit the basket with a ball, and saw five Jazz rushing over? ? ?

What kind of tacit understanding is this?
Forgot to mention, in the 98 playoffs, this team's defense was the most terrifying, if not one of them.

The Pacers are ruthless enough, the defense is strong enough, and the average conceded points per game is three points higher than that of the Jazz.

The Heat have been using fists or fighting skills in the playoffs in recent years, and this year their average points allowed per game is about three points higher than that of the Jazz.

This year is in the same league as their defense in terms of points allowed per game...only one.

That's, um, needless to say, the Bull in Chicago.

Only conceding 86+ points per game is something that I dare not think about later.Therefore, in this era, it is definitely a wise saying to shout "offensive, buy tickets and defend to win".

If the offense wants to win the championship, that's nonsense.

The little broken ship wanted to wake up, but because it was too many points behind, its offensive methods began to be single.

Must shoot more threes.

Otherwise, it is impossible to catch up with this score.

In this way, coupled with the fact that Ah Tie's game feels mediocre, he didn't hit consecutively when chasing points, which led to an endless loop of weaker and weaker follow-up plays.

This game was mainly due to the sudden awakening of the cowboy Ma Long, which made the small broken boat unexpected, and then the inside line was bombarded indiscriminately.

At the same time, the tactical setting is also a bit problematic.

The defensive expansion tactics that worked well in the first two games became vulnerable after Malone woke up tonight.

最终小破船87-99输给了对手，这场球卡尔马龙爆砍38分13个篮板6个助攻2次抢断2次盖帽，他的爆发帮助悬崖边上的犹他爵士赢下了比赛。郑铁这场球只有18分2个篮板2次抢断，这也是他目前为止季后赛得分最少的一场。

The only game where he didn't score twenty points.

In addition to the Jazz's heroic declaration of defending their home victory, Stockton's words are also interesting.

"We all know that Karl is a filial guy. His mother sat on the sidelines to cheer tonight, so I think some people should dare not work hard."

Although it was a joke, Zheng Tie soon realized that this sentence was not just a joke.

……

In G4, the team lost a game, and everyone's minds were clear, including Pitino's, who also gave up on his dream of winning the championship in his rookie season.

For your dreams to come true, you need to get things done right now.

Otherwise, it can only be a dream.

At the beginning of the fourth game, both teams showed the strength they should show. If the first three games were just a "warm-up", then this one is the official battle that everyone is ready for.

It becomes very difficult for Zheng Tie to score, especially running three-pointers, which basically doesn't give you a chance.

Then you can only look for opportunities to shoot and run without the ball for 2 points.

But even so, the chances are not many.

Really, it's not that Zheng Tie can't move out of position, but that after reaching the Western Conference Finals, the penalty scale has been upgraded again.

In the past, it was all about holding hands or pulling people a little while people were not paying attention, but now it has become...

Directly in the defense, any defender you pass by-has the possibility of giving you a strong hand.

This year's Pacers did the same thing. They entangled so strongly that they were short of a fight. They had reached the limit of certain rules for physical confrontation.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a tiebreaker with the old rogue Bulls.

Zheng Tie's ball was pulled while running, and he was pulled for a while while running. The defender was okay, at most it was a deceleration effect.

But if he ran past the inside line... he would feel as if he was pinned in place for half a second.

There is also an anti-recoil.

This is outrageous.

Therefore, Reggie Miller has been difficult to break through, and there is a reason.No matter how well they played in the regular season, the increasing defensive scale in the playoffs was simply suffocating.

It too affects the rhythm and feel of shooting the basket from a long distance.

And the Jazz have too many people who can play tricks.

Can you believe it, Russell is actually the cleanest defender in the game.

the rest.

Including the "national father-in-law" Hornacek is... hehehe.

If you just move, I will give you a try.

There is absolutely no reason to let you go "unharmed" easily.

Zheng Tie was basically caught by several people once.

Someone grabbed the jersey, someone grabbed the arm, someone grabbed the waist, this is simply...

Zheng Tie:? ? ?
Doesn't this shit call fouls?

foul?

Didn't you see that the referees were watching vigorously?

The most outrageous thing is this ball.

When Zheng Tie rushed in, the 3S "Extreme Running" effect was basically full, and it was only short of a perfect activation. After the ball ran out of position forcibly, Nash Jr. saw the opportunity and was ready to send the ball over.

This shot creates a classic open shot.

It is also what Zheng Tie is best at cutting back and running quickly to catch the ball for a three-pointer.

At this moment, just when Xiaona was about to throw the ball... a move that fans of later generations would never dare to think about appeared.

A thick arm seemed to "lightly" touch Zheng Tie's peerless waist while running at high speed, and then...

Zheng Tie rushed out of the sideline as if he lost control of the steering wheel.

Can't stop at all.

but.

Nash Jr.'s ball has passed.

Well, the basketball goes to the air, the small ship misses, the opponent's ball.

Zheng Tie looked back, almost in disbelief.

This is not blowing?

Unfortunately.

Really don't blow.

Especially in this kind of knockout round and match point, even if you are pushed away by Jordan, no one will complain.

What's more, you are a second grader?

The purpose of the playoffs in the Stern era is not to referees to control the field, but to leave everything to the players themselves.

It is also under this general policy that such abnormal confrontation and defensive scales in the 90s appeared.

If anyone tells me that Curry can easily kill in the 90s, sniping everything with three-pointers...

That is the basketball that has never played in this era.

I haven't even seen it.

In fact, Curry’s game standard 20 years later, he did not perform well even when the intensity was increased, so he couldn’t get the FMVP. You and I talked about this era where “manual testing” is rampant, and there are confrontations and even pushing people everywhere... He Can you do better than 20 years from now?
Isn't that bullying people who read less?

Why can't Sagittarius succeed in this day and age?

It is because you are not given any chance to shoot without contact and confrontation.

Oh, by the way, the Jazz have been the top three offensive teams in the league in recent years.

Last year, he was tied for first in scoring with the Bulls last year and third this season.

Therefore, it is absolutely all-round offensive and defensive, and it is really a team that integrates offense and defense.

Zheng Tie wanted to forcefully throw away his opponent.

But it's easy to get rid of a person, but when you intersperse, there are hands and pulls everywhere, and you are still testing the referee's penalty scale.

Zheng Tie really felt like he had come to the world of tentacle monsters.

There are negative effects of slowdown, sluggishness and paralysis everywhere.

beep—

The Clippers made another mistake, not because Nash Jr. failed to pass the ball in place, but because...

So fucking spot on.

On the contrary, this happens.

There were pushers and pullers everywhere, and Malone even started to flash his elbows from time to time when covering.

This made Zheng Tie so angry, he immediately fought back.

We are afraid of you?
but……

You have to know that people are not afraid of this at all.

The Jazz can have the last laugh from so many strong teams in the West, and they are absolutely not afraid of physical confrontation, and they have never thought of fighting.In fact, you will find that although the Jazz played tough, they basically did not do it themselves.It is to compare with you to see who can challenge and endure the limit of the rules more.

In the playoffs, whoever causes a big fight is a fool.

For example, the Heat and the Knicks are also strategies, using one person to match several main players of the opponent.

Unless such a thing is successful, whoever does it will make the entire team's hard work for the season come to naught.

Therefore, Ben clearly gave Karl Malone a big elbow, but the latter only bounced his body slightly, and then continued to do what he should do.Look for opportunities to give Big Ben some elbows and see who can resist it first.

Rodney Rogers rushed in with the ball, but he didn't know which opponent was overshadowed, and the ball was missed again.

It has turned into hand-to-hand combat.

When the defense can be so large-scale, no matter how fast your team is, it can't get faster.

There are hands dragging you the whole way, how can you go fast?

The opponent is obviously more adaptable to this rhythm. Although the game is sober, there is still something missing.That is the experience of playing against top teams under this kind of scale.

The little broken boat has too little experience. After the ball was dried, no opponent could withstand the headwind and bite games.

Many balls cannot guarantee a hit rate in this situation.

Everyone's hit rate dropped sharply.

Before the rules are revised, if you do this, no ordinary person can get it right.

The opponent's strong body and rich experience become extremely useful in this kind of fight.

With such strength, Ma Long can still maintain a good hit rate, which makes Zheng Tie... suddenly understand.

It's not that these giants don't have the ability to score higher points in this era, but under this kind of defense, being able to score such statistics is already against the sky.If you switch to the era without hand-tested defense and free movement rules, there are cylinders everywhere, and the data will also skyrocket.

In the same way, if you put those players who can easily score 20+ points in the playoffs 50 years from now, the score will shrink a lot.

In the last period of this ball, the Clippers exhausted too much physical energy due to altitude sickness, which led to continuous mistakes and iron strikes in the end.And Malone stood up to the defense at the end, and went in continuously to cause damage.

In the end, the game was scored 79-83, and the Jazz won the game with a 4-pointer.

The big score was tied at 2-2.

Throughout the game, there was a middle-aged woman who was slightly related to Ma Long, who was pumping out her loud voice like crazy.Even in such a noisy stadium, it still couldn't stop the penetrating power of her voice.

Although Ma Long didn't directly wave his elbow at Zheng Tie, he picked it up again after various pushing and bumping.

Because the scales are so well controlled, it is impossible to activate the automatic defense mechanism of the "ultimate hair extension".

So gradually, under the loud voice of his mother, "Salt Lake City Love" finally came out of his haze and began to slowly become normal in the face of Zheng Tiedu.

The strength of “Salt Lake City Mommy’s Baby” is truly worthy of its name.

Stockton really understands Malone.

Worthy of being a good friend for life.

At the end of the game, the Jazz scored 100 points, and the small ship had 88 points.

Especially in the fourth quarter, they played very badly.

In the whole game, there were more than 30 turnovers in a single game, including 13 turnovers in the final quarter.

How is this played?
The small ship hit only 35.8% of the game, and the true shooting rate was over 4%.

The three-point shooting percentage is just over 2%.

The opponent's hit rate was maintained at 45.5%.

In this way, the judgment was made, and the turnover was more than ten times more than that of the opponent. Losing the game became inevitable.

郑铁全场砍下了27分3个篮板1次抢断1次盖帽2次助攻。

This is already the highest peak of the Little Broken Ship team.

Only one of the others, Wang Zhizhi, scored in double digits.

All the rest are in single digits.

This game was played in an extremely fragmented manner. It was not the style of play played by a small team at all, but the style and rhythm that the Jazz were good at.

Ma Long scored 30+10 again in this game, sweeping away the previous haze.

And he said proudly:

"There is no other secret, it's just because my mother came and taught me a lesson and told me what to do."

"Being a good kid, I did what my mother told me to do, and then I won, we won, it was as simple as that."

"Yes, the era of the Clippers' victory is over, I have been resurrected with full blood, and I love my mother."

Then the small broken boat that suffered two consecutive losses in the series was also deliberately asked by the Utah reporter:

"You came with a 2-0 smile and went home with a 2-2 sadness. How do you feel? Is the air in our plateau in Salt Lake City clean?"

When Zheng Tie heard this, first of all, he couldn't lose face.

If it is equalized now, and the later DeRozan's stupid words of "increasing the morale of the enemy and destroying one's own prestige" are said, the small wreck without the background of winning the game is likely to collapse.

So after Zheng Tie thought about it, he immediately said to the reporter from Salt Lake City who asked the question——

"I have been in Salt Lake City for a few days, and I don't know anything else, but there is one thing that I know very well."

"That's why Karl Malone, the great league giant, is actually 'Ma Bao Boy'."

"Without his mother, he is as pitiful as a lost primary school student who cannot find his way home."

After speaking, while everyone was still digesting the meaning of the word "Ma Baonan", Zheng Tie put down the microphone and followed the coaching staff and Nash Jr. back to the locker room.

After all, the talk is over, and if you want to win, you still need real skills.

Zheng Tie was not panicked because he still had a "secret weapon" that he had not yet used.

2-2 is nothing more than returning to the starting point. In the next Tianwangshan, who can win is the key to the trend of the series.

In order to win Tianwang Mountain, Zheng Tie needs to go back and think about it, and review the entire game.

Sure enough, a smooth journey is not a good thing.

I still underestimated the rules of the game in the 90s.

There are only a few good people who can be kings and hegemons in this era.

But number 32 has changed from "Utah Love" to an aggressive Ma Baonan?The change is also a bit big.

This point needs to be taken care of.

After all, we are here, who doesn't want to go to the finals and have a chance with Jordan.

Zheng Tie didn't intend to let history follow the original course.

He wants to replace the Jazz and make it to the finals, so he can enjoy the old hooligans.

PS: I re-wrote this chapter. Xiaozi did not make up the claim that Ma Long is "Ma Bao Boy". The stories in it are all true, including frenzied phone calls to her mother and exploding phone bills. They are all true.It's just that there is not much information in the country to check.And revisited some game videos from the 90s, which made Xiaozi feel more flesh and blood. Later in the chapter, the moderator will send some GIFs of the 90s confrontation animations for everyone to eat together.

Well, by the way, this is a two-in-one chapter~~~Xiao Zi is not lazy~
(End of this chapter)
