Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 79
"Brent, you'll serve the ball later, Gary, and you'll come out of this position and catch the ball.

As for the others, you need to cover for Gary in these positions. "

……

Unsurprisingly, even though Gary Payton missed the ball just now, Paul Westphal still chose to believe him.

As the super core of the team, he deserves such treatment.

However, Wang Hao is somewhat disappointed. As a professional player, who doesn't want to complete the lore?

Although he was a little disappointed, he had to honestly complete the arrangement of the head coach.

After all, it's not like everyone is forced by him. I, Nick Young, can't do things like snatching teammates' lore opportunities.

This kind of thing, even if the lore is successful, will make the players and coaches dissatisfied.

The player who was going to vote for the lore: Dog, grab Lao Tzu's chance for the lore!

Coach: I have said so much, prepared so much, it's all nonsense, why don't you be the coach?

The game continued and players from both sides returned to the field.

For the Sonics, there is only one Wen Baker inside, maybe there is a rebound, maybe there is a tip-off lore?
The four outside players are Gary Payton, Wang Hao, Brent Barry, and Vernon Maxwell.

On the Jazz side, no adjustments have been made. Karl Malone is still leading, Alden, Brian Russell, Jeff Hornacek, and Howard Ellis.

Alden interfered with Brent Barry's free throw by virtue of his height advantage, and Karl Malone stared at Wen Baker.

As the core of the team's offense, today's Karl Malone rarely takes on the heavy responsibility of defense.

After all, he is also 36 years old, and he has to attack and defend at the same time, and he can't bear it with iron.

However, just defending for a few rounds is fine.

Karl Malone can become a historical-level power forward, not only with excellent offense, but also with good defense.

As for other people, it is naturally man-to-man.

Wen Baker and Gary Payton squeezed in the three-second zone, while Wang Hao and Vernon Maxwell were near the free throw line.

"Di!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, Wang Hao immediately moved to cover for Vernon Maxwell.

Of course, this is not a real tactic, but a slap in the face.

Vernon Maxwell's running position really attracted the attention of the Jazz, and at this time, Wen Baker immediately picked and rolled Gary Payton.

Not only that, after covering for Vernon Maxwell, Wang Hao covered Gary Payton again.

Gary Payton, who came out from the right side of the basket, asked for the ball, but Brent Barry couldn't pass it at all.

Because Hornacek did not lose his position at all, he followed Gary Payton, and Alden also took the initiative to shrink, almost forming a double-team for Gary Payton.

Seeing that the time to serve is approaching, if you don't serve the ball again, it will be a violation of the law.

As for re-calling a timeout, how can there be any timeouts left at this point in the game?
It can only be said that Jerry Sloan guessed the Sonics' offensive intentions, and their defense did a good job.

By this point, Brent Barry knew what to do, even without a coach reminding him.

It doesn't matter who you pass the ball to, the important thing is to pass it out.

Brent Barry has all but decided to force the ball to Gary Payton and let him scramble.

It is really not easy to get the ball when being double-teamed.

At this time, Wang Hao, who had been covering Gary Payton, suddenly rushed out.

Brent Barry didn't dare to think too much, and immediately passed the ball.

The timer was already running, and Gary Payton still couldn't get rid of the defense, so he took the initiative to open up the space.

At this time, it is no longer appropriate to pass the ball and find someone again.

Wang Hao didn't delay any longer, and started to dribble the ball to attack, and standing in front of him was Brian Russell.

I don't know if he is too afraid of Wang Hao's three-pointer, Brian Russell's position is obviously a bit forward.

It's only one point behind, there is no need to bet on three-pointers.

Wang Hao also had the same thoughts, so he walked directly to the right to break through. His steps were large and his speed was fast.

Naturally, he wouldn't rush into the inside foolishly, Karl Malone was still waiting inside.

Probably before the free throw line, Wang Hao made a sudden stop and pulled the ball back.

I don't know if it is here that caused the haze in Brian Russell's heart, he actually slipped his feet.

Naturally, Wang Hao would not miss such an opportunity, he jumped a step back while catching the ball to make adjustments.

Then he jumped up high and shot a very stretched jumper.

Brian Russell just got up from the ground, watching Wang Hao's shot, he could only sigh.

The basketball flew out of Wang Hao's hands, and even after it landed, it was too late to let go of the shooting gesture, and his eyes were fixed on the basketball.

Not only him, but also Brian Russell, who didn't care to get up from the ground, turned around and stared at the basketball.

This scene is quite similar!
"Shh!"

The clear sound of brushing the net seemed extremely loud in the key arena at this moment.

"Goal in, my God!"

"Damn goal, Wang, you did a great job."

"Rookie, you did a great job. You deserve to be trained by me."

……

The scene was already boiling, and players from the Supersonic team had already run over, surrounding Wang Hao in the middle.

The moment Wang Hao saw the goal, he waved his fists frantically and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, it's really in!"

The commentary at the scene also shouted loudly at this time: "My God, what did I see? Is this history repeating itself?

The same is facing Brian Russell, the same location, the same lore, I seem to have seen Michael Jordan just now! "

If I don't know, I was surprised when I said it.

Hearing the on-site commentary, everyone thought about it carefully. Isn't this the scene where Jordan killed the Jazz back then.

"Well done, King!
However, the game is not over yet, we have to defend again, and there are still 1.4 seconds left.

Guys, don't you want to taste what it's like to be countered by someone, so cheer up! "

With the last 1.4 seconds left in the game, the Jazz called the last timeout, and Paul Westphal was also deploying defense.

The left and right are just a matter of the ball. The defense in this case is actually very simple.

First of all, the first point is naturally man-to-man, switch defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls, and don't give open opportunities.

Then there is the focus of marking, and the Jazz's focus of marking is naturally the postman Karl Malone.

The Sonics took Wen Baker down, leaving Hores as the only big man on the field.

The same is true for the Jazz. Except for Karl Malone, all of them have been replaced with outsiders who can shoot.

In 1.4 seconds, there is no chance to do too many actions. You have to shoot as soon as you receive the ball, otherwise you will be timed out.

"boom!"

At this moment, the scene burst into excitement, and the fans of the Supersonic team burst into laughter.

What do you mean, open champagne at halftime?

The game is not over yet!
