Chapter 203 Three Points Difference

A 40-point lead against the Sonics?

Li Shengli has to admit that he has the elements of bragging, but bragging is not afraid of big things, anyway, it is all bragging, and the young man and the energetic Ma Long are also very energetic. Greeted by boos at home for the Sonics.

As for the Supersonics...they really don't want to lose. Looking at all three games, the Jazz were overwhelmed, and in the last quarter of the match point match, one can imagine how tense the atmosphere on the field was.

However, they are not without opportunities. With the frequent rotations in front, the physical condition of the main players is far better than that of the Jazz, and because of the rotation, the number of fouls committed by the main players is also better than that of the Jazz.

……

The Jazz go first.

Li Shengli landed in a high position and gave Stockton a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, he received a pass from Stockton. After attracting the defense of the penalty area, the ball was passed to Malone, and Malone scored an easy layup. .

The whole process was completed in one go, and Li Masi's tacit cooperation gradually improved.

The pick-and-roll between Stockton and Malone has always been a classic example of tacit cooperation, and after joining Li Shengli, no matter who picks and rolls with whom, there are more choices after the pick-and-roll than before, and the effect is more outstanding.

Easy to fight again.

According to the defensive strength of the Jazz inside, the stable Sonics should not have shot inside, but in view of the existence of Malone on the 5th offense, Kemp seemed to be sure that he would not dare to fight too hard in defense, so he kept hitting Malone hard.

This is where the embarrassment of the five criminals lies, and Malone does have concerns.

Although Kemp didn't play much in the third quarter, he saw clearly off the court and understood the referee's love, so he was sure that he was going to kill Malone, and he had no intention of passing the ball at all. ... Kemp turned his back and shot, and Malone blocked him.

Generally speaking, turning around and shooting with a back will bring some leaning back and widen the defensive distance, but Kemp does not. Instead, he has a posture of jumping forward.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Kemp fell to the ground passionately. Although the ball missed, the foul was successful this time. The referee called Malone's foul, and the fans cheered.

Dude, Malone graduated?

It's not even 1 minute since the fucking game!

Li Shengli and Stockton's faces were ugly, and Malone was even more beating his chest and feet. He was cheated by Kemp, but he was still in the 5th place, and his face was ashen.

……

"Oh, shit, Ma Longman made a mistake!" Seeing the changes on the field, Thompson exclaimed.

"Although I knew this would happen, I never would have thought...it would be so fast?!" George Gervin also expressed surprise.

"It's not so easy for the Jazz to win, and the Supersonics have a chance to come back!"

"It doesn't matter, Lee and Stockton are still there, the Jazz can still play!"

"If you can play, you can play, but it will definitely not be too easy." George Gervin sighed, "There have been too many changes in this game, and I hope there will be no big problems."

……

At this time, the game on the field continued.

David Benoit replaced Malone again, because Crotty fouled out in the third quarter, Jane Furhenlis topped the shooting guard position, plus Lee Shengli, Stockton and Tyrone, this is Jazz players currently on the floor.

Kemp made two free throws, and the point difference returned to 11 points again.

"Li, it's up to you!" Stockton said to Li Shengli.

"No problem, they're all stable, do a good job of defending, and I'll blow their heads!" Li Shengli agreed.

Although Malone was sent off so quickly, Li Shengli and Stockton had already been mentally prepared, but Malone looked at Crotty, who was in the same situation, and felt blocked. He was immediately dismissed after bragging. If it is destroyed, who can not feel aggrieved?

……

It's the Jazz's turn to attack again.

All the members of the Jazz pressed into the frontcourt. Li Shengli gave Stockton a pick-and-roll from the high position and then slid down. Stockton directly lobbed the ball, allowing Li Shengli to complete an alley-oop!

Although Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll is classic, Li Shengli's cooperation with Stockton is still tacit after being integrated into this system, and there is no serious problem for the time being.

So in the next game, the Jazz's offensive focus was tilted towards Li Shengli, and the outside line led by Stockton, the ammunition depot, also shared part of the firepower.

On the other hand, the Sonics, after defeating Malone, boosted their morale. Although the Jazz's defense is still tough, Jane Furhenlis's blockade of Gary Payton is far worse than Crotty, so Gary Payton feels warmer and has full firepower .

Coupled with Kemp's suppression of David Benoit, the Jazz's situation became more and more difficult. Fortunately, they entered the fourth quarter with 11 points, otherwise this quarter would really be fatal.

And Li Shengli can play offensively and defensively, but after all, 4 fouls are entangled, and Perkins and Cage take turns playing and suppressing with physical fitness, the effect is not as good as in the third quarter.

……

The point difference gradually narrowed, and the supersonic home fans continued to cheer and boost morale, so the entire fourth quarter leaned towards the supersonics.

Every time the score is recovered, the noise of the fans is one point higher.

In less than 1 minute until the end, the 11-point difference has been beaten to 3 points left, the ball is in the hands of the Sonics, and these 3 points are the final line for the Jazz to defend.

……

Supersonic strikes.

McMillan advances with the ball, and Ferhenlis retreats all the way. After encountering the opponent's pick-and-roll in the high post, McMillan drives straight in. At this time, under the basket... Li Shengli is in the penalty area, and Perkins ran to the edge of the penalty area.

Li Shengli's playing time has reached 40+ in this game, and this 40+ time is not the same as before. Facing the supersonic wheel battle, his physical fitness has bottomed out.

"roll!"

With a bang, Li Shengli went straight to McMillan. McMillan was taken aback and immediately passed the ball to Perkins who was waiting. Of course, Li Shengli could have thought of all this, stopped the brakes suddenly, and then pounced on Perkins.

It's just that the speed of this counterattack was not as fast as that of Quansheng's physical fitness, so Perkins still made a move!

Swish!

Perkins hit a goal, raised his hands, and the fans' cheers swept the audience, which was extremely harsh to the Jazz.

1 points!

The Jazz's point difference was only 1 point, and there were 36 seconds left. Jerry Sloan used the last timeout opportunity to urgently arrange the final offense and defense. They have a certain degree of initiative.

At this point in time, offense and defense will be the key to victory.

Who will execute the final shot is very important. Li Shengli is the Jazz's most stable firepower and was arranged to execute the final shot. Although the Supersonics also know this, it depends on Li Shengli's improvisation.

As for the defense...the Jazz really can't miss any of them, and if they miss, they may overturn!
