NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 261 Humility benefits, let the opponent become the nourishment for progress!

Changing Lin Hong's opponent's defender, facing Lin Hong's high-flying attack, is completely powerless.

"Don't switch after the pick and roll, Karl!"

Jazz coach Old Sloan on the sidelines roared to remind his players.

Since after Lin Ke's pick-and-roll, Stockton, who switched defenses, was just a display in front of Lin Hong, so don't switch defenses at all.

Let Byron Russell help defend Kobe who delayed the pick-and-roll, and then give Stockton time to come back to the pick-and-roll around the screen.

In this way, the postman Malone will have less worries, no need to switch defenses against Kobe, and can focus all his attention on Lin Hong.

I have to say that the old Sloan is indeed a master of pick-and-roll.

His understanding and response to pick-and-roll tactics has been perfected.

Jazz attack.

Stockton and Malone once again offered a tacit pick-and-roll.

This time Kobe was smart enough to circle the post in advance before the pick-and-roll was formed, without giving the postman another chance to elbow.

After being bypassed by the pick-and-roll and chasing defense, Stockton did not hesitate, and chose to pass the ball to Malone who disassembled and ran down.

Everyone thought that Ma Long, a devil with muscles, would rush to the basket and hit the basket hard.

In fact, in addition to his strong body, Ma Long is also a handsome mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Steadily hit a pull-up jumper.

The postman gave Lin Hong a provocative look, and he almost celebrated with a heart-thumping celebration.

As for iron and blood, I would call you an expert directly!

Looking back, the Lakers' offensive end is still Lin Ke's pick-and-roll, trying to misplace Stockton for trouble.

The Jazz have fully executed on the defensive end.

Ma Long said that if he didn't change his defense, he wouldn't change his defense, so he just stared at Lin Hong.

Facing Byron Russell's defense, Kobe took consecutive tentative steps and was entangled by Stockton who came back from the defense.

It is worth mentioning that when Kobe first wanted to pass the ball to Lin Hong.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Russell, who defended him, intercepted Kobe's pass just right.

For a while, the breakthrough route was intercepted by Stockton, and the passing path was intercepted by Russell's prediction.

"Crench!"

Kobe, who was holding the ball, suddenly stopped suddenly, adjusted his rhythm, feinted and accelerated to squeeze Stockton away, and the moment he entered the penalty area, the big pyrene Ostertag was waiting for work, and rushed up viciously.

At the critical moment, Kobe looked back at the moon and distributed the ball to Robert Horry, the key man on the other side.

Just as Horry raised his hand to throw a three-pointer, Jeff Hornacek was already on the defense and slapped the basketball in Horry's hand.

The ball was out of control, and before Hornacek took control of the ball, Horry swooped down to hold the ball and stabbed it to the nearest big Ben!

Big Ben glanced at the attack time, only Nima had 4 seconds left.

vote yourself?
Pull it down, that is to hand over the ball to others!

How to do?
Not much time, Daben subconsciously smashed the ball into Lin Hong's hands like a heavy cannon!

"boom!"

With the basketball in hand, Lin Hong didn't even have time to aim at the frame. He turned around and made a hook to the postman who rushed up!

"beep!"

Immediately afterwards, the indicator light for the 24-second attack time came on suddenly.

"beep!"

The referee on the sidelines directly blew the whistle in his hand.

"boom!"

Lin Hong was thrown to the ground abruptly by Ma Long.

"Shuh!"

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air, and the buzzer runs through the Nets!
"Wow!!"

The Lakers fans held their breath tightly and burst into thunderous cheers!

"Nice, the goal has been scored!"

"When the 24 seconds were running out, Lin faced Carl's defense and hit the hook at the buzzer."

"And this ball is still a 2+1!"

Zhang Liyi shook his fist excitedly: "Ma Long's defensive move is too big, if you don't brag about him, who will you brag about?"

"But to be honest, it's very unreasonable for Lin Hong to take the pot at the buzzer this time, and it's still this kind of hook that is carrying a foul-level defense!"

"Even though the shot was unreasonable, that's how the ball had to be played.

Who made him the core of the Lakers?

When the team's offensive end is restricted, key players have to come forward. "

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The Lakers fans in the stands gave the warmest cheers and shouts when Lin Hong stood at the free throw line.

With the blessing of MVP Voice, Lin Hong made a steady hit and added a penalty, scoring 2+1!

Although this round relied on Lin Hong's strong personal ability to score three points.

But the face of the Lakers coach Harris on the sidelines was obviously a little ugly.

The Jazz's tough defense had a huge impact on the Lakers' offense as visible to the naked eye.

This game will not be as easy as the previous two rounds of the series.

The fact is just as Yinhu expected.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides interacted with each other, and the score was very anxious.

The Lakers' back line felt sluggish. The main assaulter Kobe was 6-for-2. Fortunately, the inside twin towers composed of Lin Hong and Daben stabilized the situation.

Jazz big center Ostertag has suffered enough from Lin Hong and frequently becomes the background king.

On the other hand, the Utah Jazz.

The shooting guard Hornacek, known as the "dead light gun", felt hot and made all 4 shots.

The pick-and-roll tactics of Stockton and Malone also played steadily, allowing the Jazz to bite the score.

Jazz offensive round.

Ma Long was on the edge of the penalty area, wandering wildly with Lin Hong, who was marking him, and then ran to a high position to support his teammates. The big white bear squeezed into the basket and easily dunked a goal.

"As expected of a postman, he is really talented!"

Lin Hong felt a little depressed.

To be honest, high position support is an essential skill for an excellent insider, and Ma Long obviously wants to use this skill to weaken Lin Hong's role on the defensive end.

In any era, big men who can pass the ball are always very popular, especially players who are good at supporting, and they are also popular in the market.

The king of assists among power forwards, the postman Malone is a villain, but he has delicate skills, not only can make mid-range shots, but also pass the ball.

Ma Long, who has a stable CIC ability, pulled to a high position.

If Lin Hong follows the defense, the rookie's big book alone really can't withstand the Jazz's charge.

And if Lin Hong does not defend, Malone will transform into an offensive terminator.

With his frighteningly high shooting point, coupled with his straight-arm jumper, ordinary guards really can't effectively interfere with him.

Back to the Lakers offense.

Kobe, who felt sluggish, didn't insist on hitting the iron, and started to score points, and successfully transferred the ball to Lin Hong's hands.

"Carl, come and help!"

Seeing Lin Hong holding the ball, the postman quickly approached before the big white bear could finish his sentence.

At the same time, while staring at Da Ben, he paid attention to the movements of Lin Hong's hands.

As long as either of the two makes a move, he can rush to participate in the defense in an instant.

There was no fluctuation on Lin Hong's face.

Although the big white bear stood close to him, and the postman Malone on the side also looked at the tiger, but he still didn't change his expression and was fearless.

With the big white bear Ostertag on his back, he crashed into the three-second zone.

At this time, the postman's support was also in place, and they jointly stopped Lin Hong's attack and sent Lin Hong to the free throw line with a foul.

"Kid, continue to be arrogant?! If you dare to shoot in the penalty area, we dare to abolish you. This time it was just a foul. Next time, guess if someone will lie on the ground and howl?"

Byron Russell took advantage of Lin Hong's time to walk to the free throw line, and whispered a harsh word in his ear.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

The old fritter Byron Russell tried to use his intimidation method to launch a wave of magical attacks on Lin Hong that went straight to the heart.

Although Lin Hong's physical fitness is abnormal, he is a rookie after all, and the common problem of most rookies is that they are eager to perform and afraid of getting hurt.

However, Byron Russell greatly underestimated the ferocity of the Celestial Giants.

"I'm so scared!!" Lin Hong pouted.

"If you dare to play tricks, then I can be sure that someone will lie down and leave this court, but it will not be me.

If you don't believe me, come here and have a try! "

Lin Hong grinned and walked to the free throw line.

Seeing Lin Hong's cruel smile, Byron Russell couldn't help but tremble.

Because the spiritual magic damage he launched seemed to be rebounded? ?

He couldn't help asking, do he really have the guts to fight hand to hand with this perverted monster?
Could it be that he was crippled by this stunned young man before he even made a move?
Get to the free throw line.

Lin Hong made a sacrifice, although his current mid-range shooting percentage has improved significantly, but in terms of free throws, it is obvious that his magical skill, which is close to the [-]% mark, is more stable.

For Lin Hong, efficiency is the last word. After all, free throws are indeed the most important means of scoring for a center.

Two free throws were made and the game continued.

The Lakers' outside touch is still poor, and Kobe and Horry seem to be sleepwalking, which doubles the pressure on Lin Hong.

To be honest, the postman who can snatch the MVP from Jordan must have two brushes.

But in Lin Hong's view, he is a slippery loach, and at the same time, a squishy salted fish.

In the Jazz's offensive round, facing Lin Hong's defense, Malone had no desire to attack. He just used high pick-and-rolls and supported his teammates, stretching the inside line and creating opportunities for his teammates to break through and shoot.

In the defensive round, in order to save energy, or knowing that Lin Hong could not be restrained by himself, the postman dragged the big white bear Ostertag to fight Lin Hong frantically, which caused Lin Hong a lot of trouble.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 26:20, with the Utah Jazz leading by 6 points and the Lakers temporarily behind.

Short breaks between festivals.

Lakers coach Silver Fox Harris snarled in a rare way, because in his opinion, the Lakers played too badly in the first quarter.

The outside shooting is chaotic, and even the most basic coordination has not been played.

So the Silver Fox replaced Bowen with the old Curry.

Although Horry's defense can play a major role at critical times.

But Bowen felt terribly cold in this quarter.

The Silver Foxes had to use the old Curry on the bench.

The old Curry, a sharp shooter, can give the team a shot in the arm when the Lakers have not been able to open the perimeter for a long time.

And this is the meaning of the existence of the old Curry
Also, Lin Hong was replaced by Campbell.

The second quarter begins.

"Lin, don't worry."

Yinhu stared at the changes on the court, and said to Lin Hong: "The reason why you are replaced is that I hope you can find the Jazz's insider flaws from the perspective of a bystander."

"Moreover, Eldon is also a very experienced player, I believe you will be able to learn a lot from him!"

In the first quarter, although Lin Hong scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, it was far from what Harris expected.

Facing the defense of Malone or Ostertag, Big Ben's performance is a bit stretched.

"Okay, coach, I understand." Lin Hong smiled mischievously.

"Very good, Lin, I like your humble attitude very much!"

Silver Fox patted Lin Hong on the shoulder with a smile, and encouraged him: "The Western Conference Finals has just begun. I hope you can continue to grow and lead the Lakers to the Finals."

"Judging from the first quarter's performance alone, Bryant's hand feeling is not good, and Big Ben restrained Carl on the defensive end, so you can definitely be tougher inside!"

Am I not hard enough?

Then the next game will be harder!

Lin Hong probably knew what Yinhu wanted from him, but Yinhu obviously didn't know how much suffering his words would bring to the Jazz's inside line!
In the second quarter, the fierce battle is in full swing.

Old Curry, who came off the bench, obviously played the role of his outside marksman, ensuring the Lakers' outside firepower, while Lin Hong, who was sitting off the court, only had eyes for the confrontation between the two inside players.

I don't know what's going on, but with Lin Hong's end, Huo Li's state suddenly exploded.

Although Daben's offense was far inferior to Lin Hong's, but with Campbell's support, he was no match for Big Pyrenees.

"Lin, do you feel that Robert is a little..."

Kobe stared at both sides on the field, frowned and said to Lin Hong.

"Some what?"

"Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Lin Hong waved his hand, "Bryant, you also carefully observe the opponent's offensive organization. Although your physical fitness and talent are very strong, you have to admit that you still lack a little experience.

Fortunately, this series has just begun, and every game in the future will be an opportunity for you to learn and improve! "

Speaking of this, Lin Hong had a rare seriousness on his face.

And Kobe is naturally aware of this. His body and desire to survive are his greatest assets, and he needs to learn a lot to reach a higher level.

Modesty makes progress!

Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.

Lin Hong deeply understood this incisive truth.

Lower your posture. In his eyes, all opponents, including teammates, are goals worth learning and nutrients for progress.

Keep an eye on the situation on the field.

Lin Hong observed the postman's handling of the situation, including cooperating with the big white bear's insider, and earnestly looking for a solution.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was fixed at 46:46.

With Lin Hong off the court, the Lakers even tied the score, and the offense was very smooth.

Especially Horry, who shined in this quarter, scored 12 points alone, which was in stark contrast to his hip-pull performance in the first quarter.

"Dell, you did a good job! And Big Ben, your performance in this quarter is very good!"

Silver Fox is a lot softer, but as a former coach of the year, he sees more than anyone else.

In the first quarter, Horry seemed to be sleepwalking, rarely supporting Lin Hong inside, but in the second quarter.

His state transition was too fast, so fast that it was a bit abnormal!
Shaking his head, Yinhu hoped that he was thinking too much.

"Eldon, you take a break and let Lin play in the third quarter. And Bryant, you replace Bruce!"

Holding the tactical board, Silver Fox began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Speaking of tactics, there is actually nothing to say.

The exchange of Kobe for Bowen, allowing him and the old Curry to form a double gun in the backcourt at the same time, is obviously to strengthen the outside firepower again.

As for the re-appearance of the inner core Lin Hong...

Silver Fox obviously doesn't want to put all the offensive burden on the inside, because he still needs to observe Horry's abnormal performance.

Intermission is over.

Players from both sides appeared again, and the Jazz once again dispatched their starting lineup, and the Lakers, except for the old Curry, are basically considered the first team.
