NBA backer king

Chapter 517 Rule the Jazz!

On the court, Pharaoh stood on the free throw line again at this time.

When the dunk was just now, the postman was turning around, did not take off to defend, blocked the second foul, and made two fouls at the beginning. In order to avoid being targeted, Jerry Sloan has been replaced. Now the center on the field is Greg Ostertag.

This is the No. 95 pick in the first round of 28. He is 218 centimeters and 130 kilograms. He has no potential and was trained as a meat shield by the Jazz.

He is big, has some defense at the basket, and has a certain amount of rebounds. The offense is useless, so he plays a second offense at the basket. If it weren't for Lao Wang and O'Neal to push up the price of meat in the league, it would be impossible to get the first-round pick.

"boom!"

Lao Wang missed an extra free throw. Ostertag, who had just played, relied on his height advantage to protect the backcourt rebound, and the Jazz attacked.

The Jazz's two major starters are all off the court, and the offense can only be attacked from the outside.

In the next 3 minutes, the Jazz made [-] of [-] shots and made a [-]-pointer. [-]% of the shots from the outside looked good.

But in turn, Pharaoh controlled the rebound at the basket, the Lakers got four shots, Pharaoh attacked three times, all of them were under the basket, scored twice, and a second offense under the basket was fouled by the meat shield. He made two free throws and scored five points. In addition, he also assisted Richmond to hit a two-pointer from far away.

At 7:14, the Lakers led by 7 points. At the 6th minute of the first quarter, the Jazz called a timeout.

"Old K made 12 of [-] shots and [-] of [-] free throws. He scored [-] points and almost swept all the points of the Lakers. His desire to attack is very strong today!" Luo Lin said in the ESPN live broadcast.

Oldman said: "He hit the Jazz's two starting insiders one after another, and there is no opponent at the basket. He must strengthen his personal offense.

The Jazz still suffered in the paint, unable to hold back K's offense, and was beaten quite embarrassingly by K. In terms of rebounds, the Lakers also had the upper hand. "

Luo Lin said: "There is no way, with the old K under the basket, Sabonis was beaten down again, and the big bug had no advantage in rebounding, the height difference was too large, and was suppressed by the old K.

Moreover, Old K made five of five shots on the Lakers side. The Jazz didn't have any backcourt rebounds at all, and they couldn't grab Old K's frontcourt rebounds, so they suffered a disadvantage. "

Oldman analyzed: "If the Jazz want to regain their disadvantage, they need the postman and Sabonis to come back. In addition, Sabonis cannot be allowed to defend the old K. The postman needs to stand up and match the strongest point of the Lakers. He is the leader and core of the team and must bear the greatest defensive pressure."

"Yes, I think so too."

Rowling nodded, but said: "But Sabonis is impossible to pull out on the defensive end. He doesn't have the mobility and can only sit on the basket, so the Jazz is very difficult to deal with. They can only bite the bullet and continue to let Sabonis defend the old K."

The timeout ended, the postman and Sabonis re-entered the game, the bug returned to the third position, and the Jazz attacked.

Sabonis is in a high position, and Pharaoh takes a step to defend.

Postman pulled to the left wing and Fortson defended.

At this time, Sabonis suddenly made a pick-and-roll, Stockton took the opportunity to break through, Mark Price was blocked, and the chase was a step slower, and Lao Wang, who was defending one step, had to switch to Stockton.

"not good!"

Su Qun shouted anxiously.

Just when the old K followed Stockton back to the basket, the latter made a back pass and the ball flew to Sabonis in the high position.

"Special!"

Lao Wang knew this would happen, but just now he could only choose to switch defenses. Mark Price was blocked. If he didn't switch defenses, Stockton would directly score a layup.

"brush!"

Sabonis singled Mark Price in the high post, ignoring the defense, stepping up the shot, without leaving the ground, and easily hit a two-pointer.

"Mark, pay attention to the pick-and-roll." Del Harris shouted from the sidelines.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili said: "This is the height of Sabonis and the shooting advantage he pulls out, using the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for him to play high-post singles.

As long as the Iron Army switches defenses, it's useless for anyone to switch defenses. Sabonis is all misplaced with big and small, and his open shots are accurate, so it's hard to defend. "

"Then how to defend?" Su Qun asked a little anxiously.

Zhang Lili said: "Mark Price should pay attention to defending against pick-and-rolls and keep up with Stockton, but I suggest that it may be better to use Kobe to switch against Stockton.

Kobe's defense is better now than last season, but I suggest using him as a switch, not because of his defense. Stockton has no ability to end the offense at all. Kobe is used to defend him because Kobe is young and can keep up with him. Mark Price can't keep up with Stockton. "

9:14, the Lakers attack.

This time, Pharaoh didn't have a strong position, so he had to take a break first. He played for 6 minutes in a row, including the number of fouls and turnovers, and there were a total of eight attacks.

However, his activities in the low post can also attract the Jazz's defense. Sabonis did not dare to relax his attention at all and stood by his side.

At this time, the others pulled away, and Mark Price handed the ball to Kobe on the right-wing three-point line, and he singled Hornacek.

Kobe has Lao Wang's relying on playing skills, and his efficiency in singles on the outside is even higher than that of Richmond. At the same time, he is also a potential player that the Lakers are optimistic about. Developed some singles tactics.

Now his outside play skills are well known by the entire league. Although his strength is not strong, he also averaged 17 points per game in the regular season, and his offensive efficiency can reach 47%. You must know that Jordan, who is still at his peak, has a shooting rate of 48% this season, so no one dares to underestimate him.

As soon as Kobe got the ball, Hornacek immediately opened up a half-step space, not giving him a chance to rely on hitting, and he immediately began to push in, protecting the ball with his left elbow and controlling the ball with his right.

Hornacek took two steps back, not daring to take another step, so he could only stick it up to prevent Kobe from advancing further.

At this moment, the postman who followed Fortson on the right wing suddenly lost Fortson and double-teamed Kobe Bryant.

"Oh!"

No matter how you say Kobe is still a sophomore, no matter how you say the postman is also a superstar, a super giant put down his body to double-team a sophomore, it is really surprising, the arena immediately burst into exclamation.

Kobe was also caught off guard. He didn't expect to be double-teamed by a super giant.

"Snapped!"

Hornacek took the opportunity to complete the steal.

"Oops, our Peter Pan made a mistake! I thought he would kill the light gun, and then rush in and fly a dunk." An on-site commentator said with some disappointment.

The Jazz launched a counterattack after stealing the ball. Stockton caught the ball and killed it halfway. Mark Price caught up to the basket and immediately passed back to Hornacek.

Hornacek received the ball and made an emergency stop, stopping on the left-wing three-point line. Kobe rushed directly over the head, and accidentally slipped to the ground under the emergency stop.

"brush!"

Hornacek glanced at the foot stepping on the line, and then took half a step back before taking off calmly and hitting a three-pointer.

"mark!"

Kobe, who was sitting on the floor, slapped the floor angrily, got up and asked Mark Price behind the baseline for the ball.

Price quickly served the ball, Bryant received the ball, and immediately moved forward quickly.

At this time, Pharaoh, who had returned to the center line, immediately turned around, and Sabonis, who was running two steps behind, also immediately turned around and stood by his side.

But he turned around with a quick swing, bypassed Sabonis, and rushed to the basket.

"not good."

When the postman a little behind saw it, he hurried back to the defense.

"Old K."

Kobe shouted loudly, and the ball in his hand flew towards Lao Wang.

"Snapped!"

Lao Wang rushed across the free throw line, when the ball arrived, he caught the ball with both hands, crossed the free throw line with one step, and took off after taking a step.

The postman catching up behind him could only slow down in disappointment, watching Old K fly towards his basket.

"boom!"

With a single-handed dunk, the entire backboard exploded in an instant, and then turned into countless pieces.

"Ow!"

The entire Great Western Forum Arena suddenly boiled like a volcano, including the celebrities in the front row. Countless people stood up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts were earth-shattering.

"This is the King of the Lakers! This is Caesar the Conqueror! This is Old K, the penalty area sweeper! He is ruling the Jazz, and he is ruling this era..."

The roar of the on-site commentator was like thunder, and it lasted for a long time in the sky above the arena.

"Old K, let's blast them like this!"

"Old K, you did a great job!"

"Old K, the Jazz need you to conquer them like this."

Excited, Lao Wang strode to the media seat behind the baseline, grabbed a TV camera, and was about to say something to the camera. Kobe jumped up from behind and jumped on his back, and then other teammates also rushed to his side, yelling.

"Did you hear that?"

Lao Wang yelled at the camera: "My teammates said that the Jazz need me to conquer them. I think they are right. What do you think?"

"Fake oil!"

"Shet!"

"Go to hell, old K."

All of a sudden, the fans in Salt Lake City were about to explode, because the camera caught by Lao Wang was the national live broadcast of ESPN TV station.

"Ha ha……"

The Lakers fans who heard it at the scene burst out laughing.

The game has entered a timeout, which is a trouble for the broadcaster. Stern has a headache again. I think it is necessary to communicate with the backboard supplier and ask them to change to a glass manufacturer?

The [-]-minute interruption time is actually a trouble for the players on both sides, because they need to keep their bodies warm during this period, and the two teams alternately warm up from time to time.

But even so, after the game restarted, the feel of both sides also declined, and the state was not as good as before.

The Jazz, in particular, was hit hard by Lao Wang today. After the game resumed, they were in a worse state than the Lakers.

Moreover, the Jazz rely more on shooting than the Lakers, including the Postman and Sabonis, who also focus on shooting. Although Sabonis has height, his movement is too slow, and it is difficult to play high-quality offense under the defense of Lao Wang, so the Jazz is more affected.

On the Lakers side, because Pharaoh continued to spare no effort to strengthen the offense at the basket to maintain high efficiency, he led the team to establish a 15-point score advantage in the first half.

In the third quarter, Sabonis was knocked over again by Wang Yiji's fierce back arch. His old knee injury recurred, he was injured, and then he never came up again.

Losing the high point of the roof of the world, the Jazz, who fell behind by a large margin, could no longer resist the Lakers' offense. They lost to the end, 92:109, and lost the G1 game.

老王打满前44分钟，27投20中，命中率74%，14罚8中，轰下了48分12篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽3失误3犯规的数据。

Richmond played 36 minutes, scored 15 points, and shot 43.1%, which was a little less efficient than the regular season.

Kobe played 35 minutes, scored 13 points, and shot 46.5%, which was a little lower than the regular season.

Chris Mullin and Rick Fox scored 11 and 13 points respectively off the bench, contributing a lot.

For the Jazz, the postman played 45 minutes. He also beat Danny Fortson and Hill, and he took a lot of shots. He made 25 of 12 shots and a shooting percentage of 48%, which was slightly higher than his normal playoff level. In addition, he made 6 of 4 free throws and scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

萨博尼斯今天断断续续只打了16分钟，7投4中，1罚1中，拿到了9分2篮板1助攻的数据。

Hornacek is also old. He played 31 minutes and was in mediocre form, shooting 37.5% from the field and scoring only 12 points even with penalties.

This game, beyond the expectations of almost everyone, including the media.

ESPN gave the probability of winning the championship. The Lakers and the Jazz were only one percentage point away, but the result was that the Jazz lost their temper.

Before the game was over, Zhang Lili sighed: "Sabonis, the person who forced the dream team to come to the Olympics was tossed by the Iron Army. Injuries are really the biggest killer for an excellent athlete."

Su Qun didn't have much emotion for Sabonis, and asked, "Director Zhang, I thought they were a close opponent, but the Jazz's performance in this game can't be called a close match. What do you think is the reason why the Jazz failed to perform as expected by the fans?"

Zhang Lili thought about it and said: "From the very beginning, the Iron Army will target Sabonis and beat him down, and the Jazz will lose a strong point on the offensive end and a high fort.

You must know that no one can defend this high fort except Tie Jun. Keeping him on the court is a great threat to Tie Jun and the Lakers.

It was by constantly beating him that Tie Jun gave the team a big lead. On the court, he was a vital goal for the Jazz, moving slowly and vulnerable to targeting.

If he pulls to a high position, it will be very difficult for the Lakers to defend. No one can defend him except the Iron Army, but on the other hand, he himself is the same on the defensive end. He can only defend the Iron Army and cannot defend against other Lakers players. This is one pro and one cons.

It can be said that his existence not only restrained the Lakers, but also restrained the Jazz at the same time, a double-edged sword.I think it might be better if the Jazz give up on him and let the mailman and the bug partner. "

Su Qun nodded and said, "When he is resting, he is the postman and Da Chong partnering. The effect is indeed better. Da Chong's defense ability is very strong."

Zhang Lili also nodded and smiled: "But every advantage has its disadvantages. After he is off the court, the Jazz will lose their height. But on the defensive end, the Jazz will not be targeted by the Iron Army and will be more active. With Sabonis on the court, the Jazz's low-post defense is too passive.

But Xiaosu, you are right. Big Chong’s defense speed is faster than the postman, and he has a better sense of defense. If he implements weak side defense, he will be more threatening than the postman.

Moreover, if the postman defends the Iron Army, the efficiency is definitely better than Sabonis. With the help of the weak side of the tiger, the Iron Army should be careful. "

As soon as the game ended, reporters flocked to the Lakers and Jazz players, but the Jazz refused the on-site interview and left the court immediately. On the Lakers side, Lao Wang accepted the interview on behalf of the team.

"Old K, did you suddenly change your style of play, did you make a plan in advance?" A reporter asked.

"of course."

"why?"

"Isn't it a matter of course to attack with the most effective and targeted attack method that the opponent fears the most?"

"Sabonis's old knee injury has recurred, what impact will this have on the series?" a reporter asked.

"If he can't come back, there will be a change in the series, and we will start again with the Jazz." He replied cautiously.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence, but that without Sabonis, the Jazz's tactics will definitely undergo new changes. The postman + big bug's inside combination is still quite strong, so it needs to be handled carefully.

If the Bulls had an extra postman inside last year, it would be hard to say whether the Suns would have won the Finals.

"Do you think the Jazz is right to introduce Sabonis? Judging from today's game, it seems difficult for him to help the Jazz." The reporter asked.

Lao Wang thought for a while and said: "There are advantages and disadvantages. Sabonis can't play too much time, moves slowly, and can't follow up on the defensive end. This limits the Jazz's tactical play.

He can still play in the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially in the second round, Sabonis will become a burden for the Jazz and become my key target in the hand-to-hand combat stage.And even if he is not injured, he can only play for a while, averaging more than 20 minutes per game, which makes the Jazz's tactics unable to maintain continuity. "

"What kind of obstacles do you think the Jazz will cause to the Lakers in the next series?" Another reporter asked.

"They won us two games in the regular season, but it doesn't mean they can win two games in the playoffs. We will do everything in our power to completely destroy them in the shortest possible number of games." A cruel smile flashed across Old Wang's face.

After the post-match interview, Lao Wang and Lightning greeted each other, and then returned to the locker room with his teammates.
