Chapter 30 This Wave?This wave is called skill swing
Because the school has been on holiday, so Davis was able to watch the focus of the game at the Magic home court.
Magic starting lineup: center: Shaquille O'Neal, power forward: Dennis Rodman, small forward: Donald Loyer, shooting guard: Latrell Sprewell, point guard: Scott Skiles.
Jazz starting lineup: center: Mark Eaton, power forward: Karl Malone, small forward: Tyron Corbin, shooting guard: Jeff Malone, point guard: John Stockton.
The two elders of the Jazz team Xuanming, oh, now called Utah Shuangsha, under the guidance of Jerry Sloan, relying on their proficient pick-and-roll tactics, led the Jazz to become a strong team in the Western Conference in recent years.
But the most important thing to mention is their center, Mark Eaton, nicknamed "Mammoth", this big center who basically has no other offensive capabilities except for tipping, has left a strong mark in the history of the league.
Mark Eaton was selected by the Utah Jazz with the third place in the fourth round of the 1982 NBA draft. He was a rare legacy under the draft rules at that time.The fourth-round draft at that time was basically equivalent to the current end of the second round or even undrafted players. Most of them would not be signed by the team, and they were cut hastily or were cut after being a drinking fountain administrator.
But Mark Eaton quickly showed his value after joining the Jazz.
Let's take a look at his honors: one NBA All-Star team (1989), two NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards, three NBA All-Defensive First Team selections, two NBA All-Defensive Second Team selections, and four NBA Shot Kings.
Speaking of blocking, Mark Eaton might say: "It's not that I look down on anyone, I mean, everyone here is rubbish!"
He is indeed qualified to say this. Mark Eaton played a total of 875 games in the league, all in the Jazz. How many blocks did he contribute in total? 3064 times.The average contribution of 3.5 blocks per game is also the highest average block average in a single season since the NBA has statistics: Mark Eaton averaged 84 blocks per game in the 85-5.56 season.
He is now the number one active player in the league in blocked shots, the second in history, and one of the most efficient shot blockers in the NBA after detailed statistics.
In the words of later generations of Tony Allen, I don't understand offense, but you don't even want to understand it under the basket.
However, since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair. This mammoth, who is considered to be an all-powerful player in the league, has also come to the end of his career.
Mark Eaton, who is 224 cm tall and weighs 125KG, faced the challenge of O'Neal, who had just entered the league, in the last year of his career.
In the jump ball stage, O'Neal struggled to take off, but he was surprised to find that he didn't get the ball.
Mark Eaton just tiptoed and, with a matchbox bounce, scrambled the ball down.
Stockton dribbled to the frontcourt and called Malone's pick-and-roll directly.
"Pay attention to defense!" Rodman reminded Skiles.
Stockton rushed in directly behind Malone. His speed was not fast, but his rhythm was perfect. Rodman clung to him and followed him to the inside.
This is when Stockton flicked his hand, and the ball flew straight into Malone's hands.
Malone made a mid-range shot against Skiles' defense.
The pick-and-roll cooperation between the two has been perfected under the training of Jerry Sloan!
When it came to the Magic's offensive round, O'Neal played the first ball as usual.
O'Neal also didn't bring up the misplacement of the pick-and-roll, but directly relied on Mark Eaton to ask for the ball.
After O'Neill received the ball, he wanted to test how much oil was left in Mark Eaton's mailbox behind him, so he directly hit him and started back hitting.
Mark Eaton is not inferior to O'Neal in height and weight, so the effect of O'Neal's back hitting is not good.
"An old guy, can he still guard against me?" O'Neill turned around forcefully, took off, and hooked.
"Crack!" With a clean cap, Mark Eaton blocked O'Neal's hook with his amazing wingspan without even taking off.
"Young man, your skills are too rough, go back and practice for a few more years." Malone next to him couldn't help but gloat when he saw O'Neill hit the cap.
O'Neill ran to the backcourt angrily.
It's still a simple pick-and-roll, but in the eyes of everyone on the Magic team, there seem to be thousands of changes in the follow-up.
It was Stockton's effortless score again, and Jeff Malone caught the ball and made a layup.
O'Neal wanted to block the shot, but was blocked by Mark Eaton in front of him.
It was the Magic's offensive round again, O'Neal continued to ask for the ball, and he wanted to regain face in front of Mark Eaton.
But this time, O'Neal was blocked by Mark Eaton again. Although it only touched a little, it was enough to change the trajectory of the ball. After the ball bounced out of the frame, Malone protected the backcourt rebound.
Although Rodman can fight against Malone with his tenacious will, the gap in physical fitness cannot be made up. Malone's muscular body and huge upper circumference are not lost to Rodman at all when he is stuck at the basket.
Attacking in the frontcourt, Stockton called Malone's pick-and-roll again. This time Malone cut in with a pick-and-roll, caught the ball and broke into the inside for a dunk.
The Jazz got off to a 6-0 start against the Magic.
Guokas couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.
"Shaq? What's the matter with you? Can't you even beat that old man?" Guokas shouted angrily at O'Neill.Seeing that O'Neal was blocked twice in a row, Guokas knew that O'Neal had fallen into the mode of playing purely with his body.
"I was too careless, and I will definitely not next time."
"Use your brains! Don't let him rust!"
O'Neal dared not speak in embarrassment.
Guokas then said to Skiles: "We also play pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for Shaq to cut or misplace. He faces Mark Eaton, and there is no advantage in simply playing back."
Then Guokas explained some of Rodman's skills in defending Malone.
The timeout ended, the players returned to the court, O'Neal began to pull out the pick and roll, but Mark Eaton couldn't pull it out.His athleticism is actually much worse than O'Neal's.
Seeing this, Skiles knew what to do next, but this tactic was still in accordance with the original plan, giving O'Neal a chance to run an air cut.
However, after O'Neill received the ball, he found that there was still that mountain in front of him, the mountain called Mammoth.
O'Neal suddenly felt a little timid, he didn't layup directly, but passed the ball.
After Skiles received the ball, everyone was stupid, the tactics were all run out, you were in position, and you passed the ball again?
Cooperate with the running position just now and run in vain?
Skiles had no choice but to break through by himself, but Stockton's defense was extremely good, and the hands on Skiles' waist kept making small movements. Skiles had no choice but to hand the ball to O'Neal.
At this time, O'Neal was about to grab a rebound when he suddenly noticed something flying towards him.
He caught it subconsciously, and found that the ball came into his hands again.
O'Neal had no choice but to force himself up, but his position was not locked. After O'Neal, who couldn't dunk directly, threw the ball. . .
"Snapped!"
Mark Eaton hooded O'Neal three times in the opening game!
Not only O'Neal, but even the players of the Magic team and Guokas off the court were dumbfounded.
This Mark Eaton, is he growing old or getting better?
Does this look like someone who will retire soon?
And O'Neill, the whole person is not good.
"Labor and capital have never suffered such a big loss against Olajuwon! How did they capsize in this gutter!"
But Skiles' next sentence calmed O'Neal directly.
"It's okay, Shaq, you can blow him up in this game, trust me!"
Although I have to admit that in this game, Mark Eaton is in very good condition. This season, his average number of blocks per game has dropped to 1.2, but he blocked O'Neal 3 consecutively in the opening game, directly making the Magic team scoreless so far.
However, Mark Eaton is a veteran at the end of his career after all, and this is definitely not his normal performance.
"Guys, welcome to the NBA!" Malone kept spouting trash talk next to O'Neal.
O'Neal turned his head and glanced at Malone.
Malone was taken aback.
What kind of look is this?
"O'Neill's talent skill is activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skill."
"The second stage of O'Neill's natural skills is activated. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the player's natural skills."
Davis, who was watching the game from the sidelines, suddenly received two system prompts in succession.
Unknown specific details of this hateful thing was about to annoy him to death.
"Hurry up, hurry up and enter the NBA, I want to play in this damn league!"
According to Michael DeWeese's estimation, the first stage of O'Neill's natural skills should be related to improving strength, but for the specific effects of the second stage, Michael DeWeese thinks it is better to see it with his own eyes.
Back on the court, Kaogus was hesitating whether to continue to call a timeout, but seeing O'Neal forcefully squeezed Mark Eaton away on the defensive end, and a big hat slapped Stockton's layup, he sat down again, ready to continue watching.
The Jazz served the ball from the sideline, and Malone passed the ball to Stockton after receiving the ball, but Rodman's defense was not strong enough, and it was directly blocked by Sprewell. Sprewell dribbled the ball forward, but Jeff Malone retreated faster than him.
Sprewell was getting slower and slower under the interference of Jeff Malone. He was hesitating whether to force a layup or slow down and wait for his teammates to catch up and reorganize the offense.
"Ratt! Back!" a voice yelled from behind Sprewell.
Hearing this voice, Sprewell instantly had a backbone. He rushed to the basket and took off in three steps.
Jeff Malone is confidently ready to block Sprewell's layup.
"what?"
Jeff Malone was surprised to find that the ball did not go to the basket, but was thrown into the sky by Sprewell.
Behind, a huge figure soared into the air, caught the ball with both hands, and dunked it in heavily.
The entire basket was pulled and creaked, as if it would fall down the next moment.
It turned out to be O'Neill!
As the center of the team, he actually kept up with the defender's fast break!
The whole stadium buzzed.
The cheers of the fans of the visiting team mixed with the boos of the fans of the home team, and the whole stadium was already on the verge of boiling.
The Magic team successfully scored the first point of the game by relying on an alley-oop dunk in the counterattack fast break.
The Jazz still played unhurried pick-and-rolls, running positions, cutting air, and finally Malone made a jumper from the free throw line, which was interfered by Rodman.
Mark Eaton was stuck at the rim, and he felt like he didn't even have to jump to get off the rebound.
But just as he stretched out his hand towards the basketball to grab the backboard, a black shadow jumped up and took the backboard from above his head.
Pick melons in the back of your head!
It's O'Neill again!
O'Neal threw the ball to Skiles and was the first to go upfield.
But the Jazz's return to defense was very fast. After halftime, Skiles found that there was no good fast break opportunity, so he slowed down and gestured to his teammates.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Mark Eaton's basically zero athletic ability and use a second pick-and-roll to create open opportunities for outside players, but he saw O'Neal's hard work inside.
"This is, do you want to prove yourself?" Skiles thought for a while and suddenly changed his mind.
He signaled his teammates to open up the space under the basket, and after Rodman ran past him and pulled away Malone inside, Skiles handed the ball to O'Neal without hesitation.
"Come on! Shaq!"
At the same time, the reaction of the fans on the sidelines began to polarize again, and even the Magic's own fans began to have different opinions.
"Come on, Shaq, you can definitely blow him up!" Fans who supported O'Neal waved banners and shouted.
"Mark Eaton is in such a good state today, why do you insist on attacking him? Isn't it good to bypass it?" This is a more rational fan.
The Jazz fans chanted from the sidelines: "Hat him again! Mark! Hat him again!"
O'Neal started to catch the ball and play back.
Mark Eaton defended against O'Neal with confidence, and his tonnage and height had advantages over O'Neal.
"Although I don't have athletic ability now, I'm still qualified as a meat shield inside. Boy, don't try to score from my defense!" Mark Eaton said to O'Neal while he was still not exerting his strength.
O'Neill did not answer, but continued to push in.
Mark Eaton found himself pushed away slowly by O'Neill.
Although it was very slow, he was indeed slowly approaching the defense line of the basket.
Mark Eaton used his greatest strength, but little by little, as if he was unstoppable, he was pushed inside by O'Neill.
Mark Eaton changed his defensive strategy, he withdrew his strength, stood still, and waited for O'Neal to make a shot.
He is very confident that he will give O'Neill a big hot pot when he makes a shot.
O'Neill felt Mark Eaton's strength, and instantly understood his plan.
However, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the mountains, O'Neal turned around, jumped, and smashed the ball with both hands towards the basket as if he didn't know.
"Don't even think about it!" Mark Eaton jumped vigorously. Although he could dunk the dunk by stepping on his toes, he felt that he was more sure to block O'Neal's dunk by jumping.
Just when Mark Eaton's hand was about to touch the ball, O'Neal suddenly sped up his action.
"what?"
The fight on the court was originally in the middle of the flash. Before Mark Eaton could react, O'Neal poured the ball into the basket, and the whole person hung on the hoop. Mark Eaton was completely shrouded in O'Neal's shadow.
"Mammoth" Mark Eaton was dunked tragically!
Magic fans instantly became excited.
"Shaq! That's it, blow this big elephant!"
"Come on, Shaq, you can do it!"
O'Neal on the field was extremely calm, as if the five-best-level dunk just now didn't satisfy him, he got off the basket, turned his head and ran to his backcourt.
"Damn boy, so arrogant?" Ma Long, who was next to him, stared at O'Neill's leaving figure and said viciously.
"Don't worry, Carl, there's plenty of time, take care of him slowly." Stockton knew what his partner was thinking, and said to him calmly while dribbling the ball.
Ma Long nodded and ran to the front field silently.
Things are not as simple as Utah Shuangsha imagined.
Because O'Neill exploded.
In this attack, Stockton continued to call for a pick-and-roll, and Malone went straight down and continued to make an emergency stop near the free throw line for a jumper.
Rodman made up the defense very quickly and rushed forward hard.
Malone's shot was disturbed and he missed the basket.
Mark Eaton got stuck in his position and grabbed the offensive rebound very smoothly.
"Mark Eaton grabbed the offensive rebound! What will he do?" The commentator explained passionately in the commentary booth.
The only existing offensive means for Mark Eaton are the strong dunks and second offenses under the basket.After he got the rebound, he directly forced it without hesitation.
His slam dunk is not considered strong. As mentioned earlier, he can dunk the ball as long as he puts his toes on.
Mark Eaton's dunk seemed to be a sure thing, but he was slapped out by O'Neal next to him!
"Fast break!" Donald Leuer picked up the rebound and handed it directly to Skiles, and then strode to the frontcourt.
He soon discovered that there was actually a teammate who ran faster than himself.
He subconsciously thought that Sprewell ran ahead of him, but when Sprewell's back number appeared in front of his eyes, he looked suspiciously at the first teammate.
Number 32!Shaquille O'Neal!
Skiles advanced to the frontcourt, watched a figure of his teammate run into the three-point line, and subconsciously sent the ball in.
Then he took a closer look and was dumbfounded.
"How can there be such a big center who runs first on the fast break?" Skiles murmured.
This is a heavyweight center with a height of 216 cm and a weight of 130 kg!
O'Neal received the ball, entered the penalty area in two steps, leaped high, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.
After being beaten 6-0 by the Jazz, the Magic returned 6-0 under the leadership of O'Neal.
In three offensive rounds, O'Neal scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 block, completely dominating the offense and defense.
Malone and Stockton were one in the frontcourt and the other in the backcourt. Their movements were surprisingly uniform, with their waists thrust forward, watching O'Neal who had just come off the basket.
"This big man, there is something."
"It's really a tough opponent."
Malone and Stockton sighed at the same time.
They also discovered that the Magic, the youngest team in the league, seemed to be not so easy to bully even when the absolute main force was absent.
"Be serious. This team is not so easy to bully." When Malone passed by Stockton, Stockton said to Malone.
Malone nodded silently.
"Ma Long's innate skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's innate skills."
In Michael DeWeese's mind, the system's prompt sounded again.
"Ma Long also opened up talent skills? This game is getting better and better. I wonder if Stockton has talent skills?" Michael Davis looked at the TV screen expectantly.
Stockton dribbled the ball and slowly walked to the frontcourt with the ball.
Calm as a mountain!
"Stockton's talent skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skills."
Stockton, a model of the league's traditional point guard.Just 30 years old this year, it is the peak period of a defender.
But Michael DeWeese knows that this super long standby player has been playing until the 02-03 season and can still contribute 7.7 assists per game.
This year, Stockton has steadily contributed 15 points + 12 assists + 2.4 steals, which has declined from previous seasons, mainly due to the arrival of Jeff Malone to share his offensive pressure.But this does not affect him becoming the league's assist king.
From the beginning of the 1988-89 season until the 95-96 season, Stockton monopolized the NBA assists leader for nine full years!
And the league record of 15806 assists he created is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one since.Because he has nearly 2 more assists than No.5000.
Having said all that, Stockton has just passed halftime.
"Stockton to Malone!"
It's still a classic pick-and-roll tactic, or a classic commentator phrase. “Stockton to Malone”
Ma Long went down steadily, broke through into the penalty area and was ready to end.
O'Neill saw Malone breaking into the penalty area, roared, and rushed forward.
He felt that under the blessing of Stockton's pass, Malone's rhythm of receiving the ball, rolling down, and layup was particularly perfect. It was an indescribable feeling. After Malone received the ball, the speed of finishing was beyond his imagination.
"How could it be so fast?" O'Neill was stunned, and Malone had already arrived in front of his eyes.
"The basket is my territory!" O'Neal jumped up high, ready to block Malone's layup.
However, there was a slight difference in the master's move. Malone's speed was a line faster than usual. With this line difference, Malone still put the ball into the basket after confronting O'Neal.
"Di!"
Goal in, whistle blows.
O'Neill clapped his hands in frustration. He didn't understand why Malone suddenly seemed to be sublimated, and he was caught off guard.
On the offensive end, Mark Eaton found that he couldn't defend against this explosive shark. He could only open his hands and watch O'Neal dunk the ball into the basket again and again in vain.
But the Jazz's offensive end, Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll offense, although unpretentious, still sent the ball into the Magic's basket time and time again.
The first quarter passed slowly when neither team could defend the other.
At the end of the first quarter, the Magic 23-20, temporarily leading the Jazz by three points.
马龙10分3篮板,斯托克顿6分3助攻,奥尼尔15分7篮板。
Shaquille O'Neal, against Malone and Stockton alone!
Because as the league's famous defensive champion and multiple steals king, Stockton's defensive strength is beyond doubt. He firmly restricted Skiles in the first quarter. Stockton's defense is known for its small moves, which are often annoying.
And Sprewell at the second position faced Jeff Malone.
Jeff Malone was also a first-class scorer with an average of 24+ per game in his peak period, and he is still at the end of his peak. Naturally, he does not have much pressure against the young boy Sprewell who has just entered the league. He also takes into account the defense of Sprewell when scoring.
The two firepower points with the most efficient outside line are locked up, and O'Neal can only rely on O'Neal's performance to fight against Stockton + Malone.
In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench lineup. The Magic took O'Neal and Skiles, leaving Rodman and Sprewell on the court to attack and defend.
Sprewell's playing time has increased significantly recently, and his performance is getting better and better. He played as a substitute before Anderson was injured and averaged about 10 points per game.
Sprewell did a good job on the offensive end. Facing the Jazz's bench lineup led by Jeff Malone, he performed much better than in the first quarter. He scored two goals in a row on Jeff Malone's head when he was locked up by Jeff Malone in the first quarter.
Jeff Malone's face was a bit ugly, he was going to play an answerball back.
After halftime, Jeff Malone took the ball from the point guard, motioned his teammates to pull away, and faced Sprewell's defense.
Jerry Sloan looked at Jeff Malone on the court, frowned, but said nothing.
Sprewell clung tightly to Jeff Malone, put his hands on his waist, and used some small movements from time to time, all of which were given to him by Rodman.
Jeff Malone kept opening Sprewell's hand, and Sprewell put his hand up again and again.Those who didn't know thought Sprewell was harassing Jeff Malone.
Jeff Malone sprang into action, breaking to Sprewell's left.
But Sprewell's hand on Jeff Malone's waist had already felt Jeff Malone's movement through changes in muscle strength.Sprewell, who had been prepared for a long time, took a step to the left and continued to stick tightly to Jeff Malone, blocking his offensive route.
Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, Malone took advantage of the situation and changed to a back attack, pushing Sprewell to the inside.
Sprewell was still a little behind Malone in terms of strength. He was supported by Jeff Malone and retreated a little bit, but he didn't panic at all, and even showed a smile on his face.
Malone saw that the distance was about the same, and he pushed Sprewell to make it difficult for him to exert his strength. Then he turned around and made a jumper and shot directly.
"Did the insider ask you, Uncle Rodman?" This was the only sentence Rodman said to Jeff Malone after landing with the basketball in his hands.
That's right, as soon as Malone's ball was shot, Rodman caught it directly, a catch!
Jeff Malone blushed, lowered his head and ran to the frontcourt.
Sprewell missed an emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, and Rodman grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.
Jeff Malone also honestly relied on pick-and-rolls to score. For a while, the scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately.
Halfway through the second quarter, Kaogus and Jerry Sloan replaced the main lineup at the same time.
But at the end of the second quarter, the Magic led the Jazz by another point, and the score in the second quarter was 23-24.
After halftime.The Magic led the Jazz by 47 points 43-4.
This difference is something that many people did not expect.
The record of the Jazz's lineup strength in recent years is obvious to all. Although the Magic played a wave of good shots at the beginning of the season, their subsequent record was not stable, which fully exposed their essence as a new army in the league.
Therefore, in front of the Jazz's mature lineup, many people still think that the Jazz can suppress the Magic all the way.
But the performance of the Magic team severely slapped these people in the face.
In the locker room, Sloan did not lose his temper. This veteran soldier has always been synonymous with temper tantrums among league coaches, but he was calm today.
Because he knew that the Magic's slight advantage over the Jazz in the first half was entirely on O'Neal's point. O'Neal's amazing performance in the first half completely dominated the inside offense and defense of the two teams.
Sloan didn't believe that O'Neal could maintain such a performance for a whole game, so he still arranged the team's tactics in the second half as usual,
"In the second half, continue with normal tactics, without targeting the big man inside."
Sloan still made some changes against O'Neal. He sent Mike Brown to the inside to defend O'Neal.
Mike Brown was the No. 85 pick in the third round of 23. He was selected by the Bulls and came to Salt Lake City after two seasons with the Bulls. He has always been one of the Jazz's stable role players.
He has strength and athleticism, and the effect of limiting O'Neal should be stronger than Mark Eaton.
The Magic's midfield hasn't made any changes either.
A clever woman can't cook without rice is the best portrayal of Ka Augustus now.
No matter how good the tactic is, it is useless without an executor. Now the Magic can play only three and a half people, O'Neal, Skiles, Sprewell, and the half is Jeff Turner.
So in the second half, Kaogus could only continue allin
O'Neal did not live up to Kaogusi's expectations, nor did he live up to the expectations of his teammates.
After he came on the court in the second half, he hit Mike Brown twice and caused Mike Brown to foul once.
After O'Neal's very competitive free throw and extra penalty, the score came to 8 points in an instant.
Stockton's face hardened, and he glanced at Malone as he attacked.
Marlon nodded understandingly.The tacit understanding between the two people doesn't need much words, one look can tell what the other party wants to do.
"Stockton and Malone have activated combined talent skills. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the players' talent skills." Michael Davis stood up in surprise and joy when he saw this system prompt.
"This system really has a lot of hidden things. What is this combined talent skill?"
Michael DeWeese calmed down and continued to sit in a chair and watch the live broadcast.
I saw that after Utah Shuangsha turned on the combined skills, the fluency of the Jazz's offensive movement has stepped up to a higher level.
And Malone's finishing ability after receiving the pick-and-roll is also a notch stronger than in the first half.
The Jazz scored all of the next five offenses, of which Malone himself scored 4 goals and scored [-] points in a row.
O'Neal sat on the inside in some puzzlement. He felt that the Jazz were a little different from the first half.
"It doesn't make sense. It's still the same tactic. How could it be so much stronger all of a sudden?" Before he finished thinking about it, Ma Long caught the ball and cut inside and pulled it up from the baseline, making a mid-range shot.
The Jazz scored ten points in a row!
Kaogus called a timeout. He wanted to cool off the Jazz, especially Malone.
And Jerry Sloan also nodded in satisfaction, indicating that the disciples played well, and especially praised Ma Long.
Ka August specifically told Rodman to strengthen his defense against Malone. Rodman was also upset because Malone scored all the points on his head. When Ka August said this, Rodman immediately became full of anger.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll make that stupid big guy disappear on the court."
"Rodman's talent skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skills."
Michael DeWeese never imagined that in one game, 4 players could activate their talent skills, and there is also a combo skill.
"What are Rodman's talents and skills? Damn the system! When will the draft start~~~" Michael DeWeese was full of resentment.
Rodman, who walked onto the court, exuded a kind of aura that no one should enter, even Michael DeWeese, who was far away in Orlando, could feel it.
The Jazz serve, and the combined skills of Stockton and Malone seem to be still in the duration, and the Jazz's cooperation is still indescribably smooth, just like a brand new sports car.
Until they met Rodman.
It felt like an iron rod was forcibly inserted into the tire of that car, and the operation of the whole car was forcibly stopped.
Malone was glued.
If Malone's speed is 100 when the combination skill is not used, it may reach 120 when the combination skill is used. Now, with Rodman's all-round defense, there is only 80 left.
Rodman's flexibility and defensive pressure seem to have doubled all of a sudden.Malone was at a loss for a while.
In the end, Malone really couldn't make a shot and passed the ball back to Stockton.
Seeing that the attack time was coming, Stockton became stronger and forcibly pulled up a jumper.
The ball was missed, and Rodman grabbed the rebound directly in his hands before everyone could react.
Although he passed the ball to Skiles.
"Dennis! Fast attack!"
After Rodman finished speaking, he ran to the front court at an extremely fast speed.
Skiles advanced quickly, and Rodman's speed was amazing, surpassing each player who was either returning to defense or attacking, and ran to the front. (The picture of Sakuragi Flower Road running fast is in my brain, anyway, this is the picture in my mind.)
Skiles hit the ground, the ball passed between the retreating Stockton and Jeff Malone, and passed perfectly to Rodman.
Rodman scored a fast break dunk!
At this time, Malone and O'Neal hadn't passed halftime yet.
Stockton received the ball from Jeff Malone and walked unhurriedly forward, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"I didn't expect normal games to be so interesting. Since you are so strong inside, I'll beat you from where you are strongest."
"The second stage of Stockton's natural skills is activated. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the player's natural skills."
Stockton did not call for Malone's pick-and-roll this time, but made a gesture, which meant to pull everyone apart.
Although the teammates wondered why they didn't play pick-and-rolls anymore, their trust in Stockton allowed them to quickly open up space.
"Carl! Pick and roll!" Stockton yelled.
Malone ran over to pick and roll Stockton, and Rodman followed up and quickly defended.
"It's you who hit you!" Stockton said secretly, and Rodman went one-on-one.
Malone led Skiles to run to the other side, and only Stockton and Rodman were left in the half.
Rodman's huge figure firmly enveloped Stockton. Stockton was only 188 centimeters, nearly 20 centimeters shorter than Rodman.
Stockton's breakthrough to the left was easily blocked by Rodman.
"Is that the level? You can't break through Lord Rodman at this level!" Rodman said to Stockton confidently.
Stockton is not in a hurry, his speed is not fast, but he has an excellent sense of rhythm, and there is no gap between the two changes.Rodman inadvertently fell behind Stockton by half a body.
Relying on the powerful bonus brought by his natural skills, Rodman forcibly pulled his body back and regained his position.
However, Stockton stopped suddenly, pulled the ball back inconceivably, and under Rodman's horrified gaze, he took a step back, just outside the three-point line, took off, and shot.
"brush!"
The ball enters the net hollow.
Rodman rushed over to interfere, but the ball slid past his fingertips.
After landing, Rodman sat on the ground with an unstable center of gravity. He looked back quickly, but saw the ball cross a perfect arc and fell directly into the basket.
He was full of self-blame, he was sure of this kind of ball, but Stockton was so confident that he shot from the top of his head and hit it.
At this time, a hand stretched out in front of Rodman.
"Get up, attack and watch me!"
O'Neal came to Rodman, pulled Rodman up, and patted his ass.
"Don't worry, Dennis, look at mine next."
Rodman looked at O'Neill, the big face he was used to seeing, always with a happy smile, shining with determination.
"Don't worry! Leave the defense to me! On the offensive end, it's up to you."
The two ran to the front court one after the other.
O'Neal came to the frontcourt and easily got into position very close to the basket.
But there was a problem with Skiles. He had no room to pass the ball under Stockton's defense, as if his shot would be cut off by Stockton.
Seeing this, Rodman hurried out to make a pick-and-roll for Skiles, Skiles passed the ball to Rodman, Rodman held the ball high to avoid Stockton's interference, and then lobbed the ball to O'Neal.
O'Neal unreasonably pushed the defender away, turned around and was about to dunk.
Malone pounced on the side without hesitation, trying to interfere with O'Neal's dunk.
"Even if it's a foul, I'll pull you down!" Malone hit O'Neal with a merciless shot.
The veins in O'Neill's hands were bulging, and he forced the ball into Malone's interference.
"Di!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"The goal is valid, and the 32nd penalty will be added!"
O'Neal got down from the basket, slapped his teammates around, and looked at Malone next to him, with no expression on his face.
Not only the audience on the sidelines had a climax, but even Michael Davis, who was watching from the TV, was also excited.
"This is the charm of basketball!" Michael Davis murmured.
The following process will be spent in Stockton + Malone vs. O'Neal + Rodman.
Stockton single-handedly took care of the team's organization and defense, and Malone concentrated on scoring.
On the Magic side, Rodman became the inside, or the defensive core of the team, while O'Neal used his unstoppable physical advantage to continuously score points inside.
"Rodman + O'Neill, really the strongest spear and the strongest shield!" Michael DeWeese muttered to himself, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I am the one who controls the shield and spear!"
I'm sorry, I only found out that this is a 2K copy when I posted it. This is a saved manuscript. I looked at it and found that there is no room for further development, so I won't count the words anymore. Please ask for a recommendation ticket. There is another chapter after 12 o'clock. Please ask for a recommendation ticket
(End of this chapter)
Because the school has been on holiday, so Davis was able to watch the focus of the game at the Magic home court.
Magic starting lineup: center: Shaquille O'Neal, power forward: Dennis Rodman, small forward: Donald Loyer, shooting guard: Latrell Sprewell, point guard: Scott Skiles.
Jazz starting lineup: center: Mark Eaton, power forward: Karl Malone, small forward: Tyron Corbin, shooting guard: Jeff Malone, point guard: John Stockton.
The two elders of the Jazz team Xuanming, oh, now called Utah Shuangsha, under the guidance of Jerry Sloan, relying on their proficient pick-and-roll tactics, led the Jazz to become a strong team in the Western Conference in recent years.
But the most important thing to mention is their center, Mark Eaton, nicknamed "Mammoth", this big center who basically has no other offensive capabilities except for tipping, has left a strong mark in the history of the league.
Mark Eaton was selected by the Utah Jazz with the third place in the fourth round of the 1982 NBA draft. He was a rare legacy under the draft rules at that time.The fourth-round draft at that time was basically equivalent to the current end of the second round or even undrafted players. Most of them would not be signed by the team, and they were cut hastily or were cut after being a drinking fountain administrator.
But Mark Eaton quickly showed his value after joining the Jazz.
Let's take a look at his honors: one NBA All-Star team (1989), two NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards, three NBA All-Defensive First Team selections, two NBA All-Defensive Second Team selections, and four NBA Shot Kings.
Speaking of blocking, Mark Eaton might say: "It's not that I look down on anyone, I mean, everyone here is rubbish!"
He is indeed qualified to say this. Mark Eaton played a total of 875 games in the league, all in the Jazz. How many blocks did he contribute in total? 3064 times.The average contribution of 3.5 blocks per game is also the highest average block average in a single season since the NBA has statistics: Mark Eaton averaged 84 blocks per game in the 85-5.56 season.
He is now the number one active player in the league in blocked shots, the second in history, and one of the most efficient shot blockers in the NBA after detailed statistics.
In the words of later generations of Tony Allen, I don't understand offense, but you don't even want to understand it under the basket.
However, since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair. This mammoth, who is considered to be an all-powerful player in the league, has also come to the end of his career.
Mark Eaton, who is 224 cm tall and weighs 125KG, faced the challenge of O'Neal, who had just entered the league, in the last year of his career.
In the jump ball stage, O'Neal struggled to take off, but he was surprised to find that he didn't get the ball.
Mark Eaton just tiptoed and, with a matchbox bounce, scrambled the ball down.
Stockton dribbled to the frontcourt and called Malone's pick-and-roll directly.
"Pay attention to defense!" Rodman reminded Skiles.
Stockton rushed in directly behind Malone. His speed was not fast, but his rhythm was perfect. Rodman clung to him and followed him to the inside.
This is when Stockton flicked his hand, and the ball flew straight into Malone's hands.
Malone made a mid-range shot against Skiles' defense.
The pick-and-roll cooperation between the two has been perfected under the training of Jerry Sloan!
When it came to the Magic's offensive round, O'Neal played the first ball as usual.
O'Neal also didn't bring up the misplacement of the pick-and-roll, but directly relied on Mark Eaton to ask for the ball.
After O'Neill received the ball, he wanted to test how much oil was left in Mark Eaton's mailbox behind him, so he directly hit him and started back hitting.
Mark Eaton is not inferior to O'Neal in height and weight, so the effect of O'Neal's back hitting is not good.
"An old guy, can he still guard against me?" O'Neill turned around forcefully, took off, and hooked.
"Crack!" With a clean cap, Mark Eaton blocked O'Neal's hook with his amazing wingspan without even taking off.
"Young man, your skills are too rough, go back and practice for a few more years." Malone next to him couldn't help but gloat when he saw O'Neill hit the cap.
O'Neill ran to the backcourt angrily.
It's still a simple pick-and-roll, but in the eyes of everyone on the Magic team, there seem to be thousands of changes in the follow-up.
It was Stockton's effortless score again, and Jeff Malone caught the ball and made a layup.
O'Neal wanted to block the shot, but was blocked by Mark Eaton in front of him.
It was the Magic's offensive round again, O'Neal continued to ask for the ball, and he wanted to regain face in front of Mark Eaton.
But this time, O'Neal was blocked by Mark Eaton again. Although it only touched a little, it was enough to change the trajectory of the ball. After the ball bounced out of the frame, Malone protected the backcourt rebound.
Although Rodman can fight against Malone with his tenacious will, the gap in physical fitness cannot be made up. Malone's muscular body and huge upper circumference are not lost to Rodman at all when he is stuck at the basket.
Attacking in the frontcourt, Stockton called Malone's pick-and-roll again. This time Malone cut in with a pick-and-roll, caught the ball and broke into the inside for a dunk.
The Jazz got off to a 6-0 start against the Magic.
Guokas couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.
"Shaq? What's the matter with you? Can't you even beat that old man?" Guokas shouted angrily at O'Neill.Seeing that O'Neal was blocked twice in a row, Guokas knew that O'Neal had fallen into the mode of playing purely with his body.
"I was too careless, and I will definitely not next time."
"Use your brains! Don't let him rust!"
O'Neal dared not speak in embarrassment.
Guokas then said to Skiles: "We also play pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for Shaq to cut or misplace. He faces Mark Eaton, and there is no advantage in simply playing back."
Then Guokas explained some of Rodman's skills in defending Malone.
The timeout ended, the players returned to the court, O'Neal began to pull out the pick and roll, but Mark Eaton couldn't pull it out.His athleticism is actually much worse than O'Neal's.
Seeing this, Skiles knew what to do next, but this tactic was still in accordance with the original plan, giving O'Neal a chance to run an air cut.
However, after O'Neill received the ball, he found that there was still that mountain in front of him, the mountain called Mammoth.
O'Neal suddenly felt a little timid, he didn't layup directly, but passed the ball.
After Skiles received the ball, everyone was stupid, the tactics were all run out, you were in position, and you passed the ball again?
Cooperate with the running position just now and run in vain?
Skiles had no choice but to break through by himself, but Stockton's defense was extremely good, and the hands on Skiles' waist kept making small movements. Skiles had no choice but to hand the ball to O'Neal.
At this time, O'Neal was about to grab a rebound when he suddenly noticed something flying towards him.
He caught it subconsciously, and found that the ball came into his hands again.
O'Neal had no choice but to force himself up, but his position was not locked. After O'Neal, who couldn't dunk directly, threw the ball. . .
"Snapped!"
Mark Eaton hooded O'Neal three times in the opening game!
Not only O'Neal, but even the players of the Magic team and Guokas off the court were dumbfounded.
This Mark Eaton, is he growing old or getting better?
Does this look like someone who will retire soon?
And O'Neill, the whole person is not good.
"Labor and capital have never suffered such a big loss against Olajuwon! How did they capsize in this gutter!"
But Skiles' next sentence calmed O'Neal directly.
"It's okay, Shaq, you can blow him up in this game, trust me!"
Although I have to admit that in this game, Mark Eaton is in very good condition. This season, his average number of blocks per game has dropped to 1.2, but he blocked O'Neal 3 consecutively in the opening game, directly making the Magic team scoreless so far.
However, Mark Eaton is a veteran at the end of his career after all, and this is definitely not his normal performance.
"Guys, welcome to the NBA!" Malone kept spouting trash talk next to O'Neal.
O'Neal turned his head and glanced at Malone.
Malone was taken aback.
What kind of look is this?
"O'Neill's talent skill is activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skill."
"The second stage of O'Neill's natural skills is activated. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the player's natural skills."
Davis, who was watching the game from the sidelines, suddenly received two system prompts in succession.
Unknown specific details of this hateful thing was about to annoy him to death.
"Hurry up, hurry up and enter the NBA, I want to play in this damn league!"
According to Michael DeWeese's estimation, the first stage of O'Neill's natural skills should be related to improving strength, but for the specific effects of the second stage, Michael DeWeese thinks it is better to see it with his own eyes.
Back on the court, Kaogus was hesitating whether to continue to call a timeout, but seeing O'Neal forcefully squeezed Mark Eaton away on the defensive end, and a big hat slapped Stockton's layup, he sat down again, ready to continue watching.
The Jazz served the ball from the sideline, and Malone passed the ball to Stockton after receiving the ball, but Rodman's defense was not strong enough, and it was directly blocked by Sprewell. Sprewell dribbled the ball forward, but Jeff Malone retreated faster than him.
Sprewell was getting slower and slower under the interference of Jeff Malone. He was hesitating whether to force a layup or slow down and wait for his teammates to catch up and reorganize the offense.
"Ratt! Back!" a voice yelled from behind Sprewell.
Hearing this voice, Sprewell instantly had a backbone. He rushed to the basket and took off in three steps.
Jeff Malone is confidently ready to block Sprewell's layup.
"what?"
Jeff Malone was surprised to find that the ball did not go to the basket, but was thrown into the sky by Sprewell.
Behind, a huge figure soared into the air, caught the ball with both hands, and dunked it in heavily.
The entire basket was pulled and creaked, as if it would fall down the next moment.
It turned out to be O'Neill!
As the center of the team, he actually kept up with the defender's fast break!
The whole stadium buzzed.
The cheers of the fans of the visiting team mixed with the boos of the fans of the home team, and the whole stadium was already on the verge of boiling.
The Magic team successfully scored the first point of the game by relying on an alley-oop dunk in the counterattack fast break.
The Jazz still played unhurried pick-and-rolls, running positions, cutting air, and finally Malone made a jumper from the free throw line, which was interfered by Rodman.
Mark Eaton was stuck at the rim, and he felt like he didn't even have to jump to get off the rebound.
But just as he stretched out his hand towards the basketball to grab the backboard, a black shadow jumped up and took the backboard from above his head.
Pick melons in the back of your head!
It's O'Neill again!
O'Neal threw the ball to Skiles and was the first to go upfield.
But the Jazz's return to defense was very fast. After halftime, Skiles found that there was no good fast break opportunity, so he slowed down and gestured to his teammates.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Mark Eaton's basically zero athletic ability and use a second pick-and-roll to create open opportunities for outside players, but he saw O'Neal's hard work inside.
"This is, do you want to prove yourself?" Skiles thought for a while and suddenly changed his mind.
He signaled his teammates to open up the space under the basket, and after Rodman ran past him and pulled away Malone inside, Skiles handed the ball to O'Neal without hesitation.
"Come on! Shaq!"
At the same time, the reaction of the fans on the sidelines began to polarize again, and even the Magic's own fans began to have different opinions.
"Come on, Shaq, you can definitely blow him up!" Fans who supported O'Neal waved banners and shouted.
"Mark Eaton is in such a good state today, why do you insist on attacking him? Isn't it good to bypass it?" This is a more rational fan.
The Jazz fans chanted from the sidelines: "Hat him again! Mark! Hat him again!"
O'Neal started to catch the ball and play back.
Mark Eaton defended against O'Neal with confidence, and his tonnage and height had advantages over O'Neal.
"Although I don't have athletic ability now, I'm still qualified as a meat shield inside. Boy, don't try to score from my defense!" Mark Eaton said to O'Neal while he was still not exerting his strength.
O'Neill did not answer, but continued to push in.
Mark Eaton found himself pushed away slowly by O'Neill.
Although it was very slow, he was indeed slowly approaching the defense line of the basket.
Mark Eaton used his greatest strength, but little by little, as if he was unstoppable, he was pushed inside by O'Neill.
Mark Eaton changed his defensive strategy, he withdrew his strength, stood still, and waited for O'Neal to make a shot.
He is very confident that he will give O'Neill a big hot pot when he makes a shot.
O'Neill felt Mark Eaton's strength, and instantly understood his plan.
However, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the mountains, O'Neal turned around, jumped, and smashed the ball with both hands towards the basket as if he didn't know.
"Don't even think about it!" Mark Eaton jumped vigorously. Although he could dunk the dunk by stepping on his toes, he felt that he was more sure to block O'Neal's dunk by jumping.
Just when Mark Eaton's hand was about to touch the ball, O'Neal suddenly sped up his action.
"what?"
The fight on the court was originally in the middle of the flash. Before Mark Eaton could react, O'Neal poured the ball into the basket, and the whole person hung on the hoop. Mark Eaton was completely shrouded in O'Neal's shadow.
"Mammoth" Mark Eaton was dunked tragically!
Magic fans instantly became excited.
"Shaq! That's it, blow this big elephant!"
"Come on, Shaq, you can do it!"
O'Neal on the field was extremely calm, as if the five-best-level dunk just now didn't satisfy him, he got off the basket, turned his head and ran to his backcourt.
"Damn boy, so arrogant?" Ma Long, who was next to him, stared at O'Neill's leaving figure and said viciously.
"Don't worry, Carl, there's plenty of time, take care of him slowly." Stockton knew what his partner was thinking, and said to him calmly while dribbling the ball.
Ma Long nodded and ran to the front field silently.
Things are not as simple as Utah Shuangsha imagined.
Because O'Neill exploded.
In this attack, Stockton continued to call for a pick-and-roll, and Malone went straight down and continued to make an emergency stop near the free throw line for a jumper.
Rodman made up the defense very quickly and rushed forward hard.
Malone's shot was disturbed and he missed the basket.
Mark Eaton got stuck in his position and grabbed the offensive rebound very smoothly.
"Mark Eaton grabbed the offensive rebound! What will he do?" The commentator explained passionately in the commentary booth.
The only existing offensive means for Mark Eaton are the strong dunks and second offenses under the basket.After he got the rebound, he directly forced it without hesitation.
His slam dunk is not considered strong. As mentioned earlier, he can dunk the ball as long as he puts his toes on.
Mark Eaton's dunk seemed to be a sure thing, but he was slapped out by O'Neal next to him!
"Fast break!" Donald Leuer picked up the rebound and handed it directly to Skiles, and then strode to the frontcourt.
He soon discovered that there was actually a teammate who ran faster than himself.
He subconsciously thought that Sprewell ran ahead of him, but when Sprewell's back number appeared in front of his eyes, he looked suspiciously at the first teammate.
Number 32!Shaquille O'Neal!
Skiles advanced to the frontcourt, watched a figure of his teammate run into the three-point line, and subconsciously sent the ball in.
Then he took a closer look and was dumbfounded.
"How can there be such a big center who runs first on the fast break?" Skiles murmured.
This is a heavyweight center with a height of 216 cm and a weight of 130 kg!
O'Neal received the ball, entered the penalty area in two steps, leaped high, and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.
After being beaten 6-0 by the Jazz, the Magic returned 6-0 under the leadership of O'Neal.
In three offensive rounds, O'Neal scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 block, completely dominating the offense and defense.
Malone and Stockton were one in the frontcourt and the other in the backcourt. Their movements were surprisingly uniform, with their waists thrust forward, watching O'Neal who had just come off the basket.
"This big man, there is something."
"It's really a tough opponent."
Malone and Stockton sighed at the same time.
They also discovered that the Magic, the youngest team in the league, seemed to be not so easy to bully even when the absolute main force was absent.
"Be serious. This team is not so easy to bully." When Malone passed by Stockton, Stockton said to Malone.
Malone nodded silently.
"Ma Long's innate skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's innate skills."
In Michael DeWeese's mind, the system's prompt sounded again.
"Ma Long also opened up talent skills? This game is getting better and better. I wonder if Stockton has talent skills?" Michael Davis looked at the TV screen expectantly.
Stockton dribbled the ball and slowly walked to the frontcourt with the ball.
Calm as a mountain!
"Stockton's talent skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skills."
Stockton, a model of the league's traditional point guard.Just 30 years old this year, it is the peak period of a defender.
But Michael DeWeese knows that this super long standby player has been playing until the 02-03 season and can still contribute 7.7 assists per game.
This year, Stockton has steadily contributed 15 points + 12 assists + 2.4 steals, which has declined from previous seasons, mainly due to the arrival of Jeff Malone to share his offensive pressure.But this does not affect him becoming the league's assist king.
From the beginning of the 1988-89 season until the 95-96 season, Stockton monopolized the NBA assists leader for nine full years!
And the league record of 15806 assists he created is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one since.Because he has nearly 2 more assists than No.5000.
Having said all that, Stockton has just passed halftime.
"Stockton to Malone!"
It's still a classic pick-and-roll tactic, or a classic commentator phrase. “Stockton to Malone”
Ma Long went down steadily, broke through into the penalty area and was ready to end.
O'Neill saw Malone breaking into the penalty area, roared, and rushed forward.
He felt that under the blessing of Stockton's pass, Malone's rhythm of receiving the ball, rolling down, and layup was particularly perfect. It was an indescribable feeling. After Malone received the ball, the speed of finishing was beyond his imagination.
"How could it be so fast?" O'Neill was stunned, and Malone had already arrived in front of his eyes.
"The basket is my territory!" O'Neal jumped up high, ready to block Malone's layup.
However, there was a slight difference in the master's move. Malone's speed was a line faster than usual. With this line difference, Malone still put the ball into the basket after confronting O'Neal.
"Di!"
Goal in, whistle blows.
O'Neill clapped his hands in frustration. He didn't understand why Malone suddenly seemed to be sublimated, and he was caught off guard.
On the offensive end, Mark Eaton found that he couldn't defend against this explosive shark. He could only open his hands and watch O'Neal dunk the ball into the basket again and again in vain.
But the Jazz's offensive end, Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll offense, although unpretentious, still sent the ball into the Magic's basket time and time again.
The first quarter passed slowly when neither team could defend the other.
At the end of the first quarter, the Magic 23-20, temporarily leading the Jazz by three points.
马龙10分3篮板,斯托克顿6分3助攻,奥尼尔15分7篮板。
Shaquille O'Neal, against Malone and Stockton alone!
Because as the league's famous defensive champion and multiple steals king, Stockton's defensive strength is beyond doubt. He firmly restricted Skiles in the first quarter. Stockton's defense is known for its small moves, which are often annoying.
And Sprewell at the second position faced Jeff Malone.
Jeff Malone was also a first-class scorer with an average of 24+ per game in his peak period, and he is still at the end of his peak. Naturally, he does not have much pressure against the young boy Sprewell who has just entered the league. He also takes into account the defense of Sprewell when scoring.
The two firepower points with the most efficient outside line are locked up, and O'Neal can only rely on O'Neal's performance to fight against Stockton + Malone.
In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench lineup. The Magic took O'Neal and Skiles, leaving Rodman and Sprewell on the court to attack and defend.
Sprewell's playing time has increased significantly recently, and his performance is getting better and better. He played as a substitute before Anderson was injured and averaged about 10 points per game.
Sprewell did a good job on the offensive end. Facing the Jazz's bench lineup led by Jeff Malone, he performed much better than in the first quarter. He scored two goals in a row on Jeff Malone's head when he was locked up by Jeff Malone in the first quarter.
Jeff Malone's face was a bit ugly, he was going to play an answerball back.
After halftime, Jeff Malone took the ball from the point guard, motioned his teammates to pull away, and faced Sprewell's defense.
Jerry Sloan looked at Jeff Malone on the court, frowned, but said nothing.
Sprewell clung tightly to Jeff Malone, put his hands on his waist, and used some small movements from time to time, all of which were given to him by Rodman.
Jeff Malone kept opening Sprewell's hand, and Sprewell put his hand up again and again.Those who didn't know thought Sprewell was harassing Jeff Malone.
Jeff Malone sprang into action, breaking to Sprewell's left.
But Sprewell's hand on Jeff Malone's waist had already felt Jeff Malone's movement through changes in muscle strength.Sprewell, who had been prepared for a long time, took a step to the left and continued to stick tightly to Jeff Malone, blocking his offensive route.
Seeing that the breakthrough was blocked, Malone took advantage of the situation and changed to a back attack, pushing Sprewell to the inside.
Sprewell was still a little behind Malone in terms of strength. He was supported by Jeff Malone and retreated a little bit, but he didn't panic at all, and even showed a smile on his face.
Malone saw that the distance was about the same, and he pushed Sprewell to make it difficult for him to exert his strength. Then he turned around and made a jumper and shot directly.
"Did the insider ask you, Uncle Rodman?" This was the only sentence Rodman said to Jeff Malone after landing with the basketball in his hands.
That's right, as soon as Malone's ball was shot, Rodman caught it directly, a catch!
Jeff Malone blushed, lowered his head and ran to the frontcourt.
Sprewell missed an emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, and Rodman grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up.
Jeff Malone also honestly relied on pick-and-rolls to score. For a while, the scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately.
Halfway through the second quarter, Kaogus and Jerry Sloan replaced the main lineup at the same time.
But at the end of the second quarter, the Magic led the Jazz by another point, and the score in the second quarter was 23-24.
After halftime.The Magic led the Jazz by 47 points 43-4.
This difference is something that many people did not expect.
The record of the Jazz's lineup strength in recent years is obvious to all. Although the Magic played a wave of good shots at the beginning of the season, their subsequent record was not stable, which fully exposed their essence as a new army in the league.
Therefore, in front of the Jazz's mature lineup, many people still think that the Jazz can suppress the Magic all the way.
But the performance of the Magic team severely slapped these people in the face.
In the locker room, Sloan did not lose his temper. This veteran soldier has always been synonymous with temper tantrums among league coaches, but he was calm today.
Because he knew that the Magic's slight advantage over the Jazz in the first half was entirely on O'Neal's point. O'Neal's amazing performance in the first half completely dominated the inside offense and defense of the two teams.
Sloan didn't believe that O'Neal could maintain such a performance for a whole game, so he still arranged the team's tactics in the second half as usual,
"In the second half, continue with normal tactics, without targeting the big man inside."
Sloan still made some changes against O'Neal. He sent Mike Brown to the inside to defend O'Neal.
Mike Brown was the No. 85 pick in the third round of 23. He was selected by the Bulls and came to Salt Lake City after two seasons with the Bulls. He has always been one of the Jazz's stable role players.
He has strength and athleticism, and the effect of limiting O'Neal should be stronger than Mark Eaton.
The Magic's midfield hasn't made any changes either.
A clever woman can't cook without rice is the best portrayal of Ka Augustus now.
No matter how good the tactic is, it is useless without an executor. Now the Magic can play only three and a half people, O'Neal, Skiles, Sprewell, and the half is Jeff Turner.
So in the second half, Kaogus could only continue allin
O'Neal did not live up to Kaogusi's expectations, nor did he live up to the expectations of his teammates.
After he came on the court in the second half, he hit Mike Brown twice and caused Mike Brown to foul once.
After O'Neal's very competitive free throw and extra penalty, the score came to 8 points in an instant.
Stockton's face hardened, and he glanced at Malone as he attacked.
Marlon nodded understandingly.The tacit understanding between the two people doesn't need much words, one look can tell what the other party wants to do.
"Stockton and Malone have activated combined talent skills. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the players' talent skills." Michael Davis stood up in surprise and joy when he saw this system prompt.
"This system really has a lot of hidden things. What is this combined talent skill?"
Michael DeWeese calmed down and continued to sit in a chair and watch the live broadcast.
I saw that after Utah Shuangsha turned on the combined skills, the fluency of the Jazz's offensive movement has stepped up to a higher level.
And Malone's finishing ability after receiving the pick-and-roll is also a notch stronger than in the first half.
The Jazz scored all of the next five offenses, of which Malone himself scored 4 goals and scored [-] points in a row.
O'Neal sat on the inside in some puzzlement. He felt that the Jazz were a little different from the first half.
"It doesn't make sense. It's still the same tactic. How could it be so much stronger all of a sudden?" Before he finished thinking about it, Ma Long caught the ball and cut inside and pulled it up from the baseline, making a mid-range shot.
The Jazz scored ten points in a row!
Kaogus called a timeout. He wanted to cool off the Jazz, especially Malone.
And Jerry Sloan also nodded in satisfaction, indicating that the disciples played well, and especially praised Ma Long.
Ka August specifically told Rodman to strengthen his defense against Malone. Rodman was also upset because Malone scored all the points on his head. When Ka August said this, Rodman immediately became full of anger.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll make that stupid big guy disappear on the court."
"Rodman's talent skills are activated, the specific details are unknown, please complete the task to check the details of the player's talent skills."
Michael DeWeese never imagined that in one game, 4 players could activate their talent skills, and there is also a combo skill.
"What are Rodman's talents and skills? Damn the system! When will the draft start~~~" Michael DeWeese was full of resentment.
Rodman, who walked onto the court, exuded a kind of aura that no one should enter, even Michael DeWeese, who was far away in Orlando, could feel it.
The Jazz serve, and the combined skills of Stockton and Malone seem to be still in the duration, and the Jazz's cooperation is still indescribably smooth, just like a brand new sports car.
Until they met Rodman.
It felt like an iron rod was forcibly inserted into the tire of that car, and the operation of the whole car was forcibly stopped.
Malone was glued.
If Malone's speed is 100 when the combination skill is not used, it may reach 120 when the combination skill is used. Now, with Rodman's all-round defense, there is only 80 left.
Rodman's flexibility and defensive pressure seem to have doubled all of a sudden.Malone was at a loss for a while.
In the end, Malone really couldn't make a shot and passed the ball back to Stockton.
Seeing that the attack time was coming, Stockton became stronger and forcibly pulled up a jumper.
The ball was missed, and Rodman grabbed the rebound directly in his hands before everyone could react.
Although he passed the ball to Skiles.
"Dennis! Fast attack!"
After Rodman finished speaking, he ran to the front court at an extremely fast speed.
Skiles advanced quickly, and Rodman's speed was amazing, surpassing each player who was either returning to defense or attacking, and ran to the front. (The picture of Sakuragi Flower Road running fast is in my brain, anyway, this is the picture in my mind.)
Skiles hit the ground, the ball passed between the retreating Stockton and Jeff Malone, and passed perfectly to Rodman.
Rodman scored a fast break dunk!
At this time, Malone and O'Neal hadn't passed halftime yet.
Stockton received the ball from Jeff Malone and walked unhurriedly forward, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"I didn't expect normal games to be so interesting. Since you are so strong inside, I'll beat you from where you are strongest."
"The second stage of Stockton's natural skills is activated. The specific details are unknown. Please complete the task to check the details of the player's natural skills."
Stockton did not call for Malone's pick-and-roll this time, but made a gesture, which meant to pull everyone apart.
Although the teammates wondered why they didn't play pick-and-rolls anymore, their trust in Stockton allowed them to quickly open up space.
"Carl! Pick and roll!" Stockton yelled.
Malone ran over to pick and roll Stockton, and Rodman followed up and quickly defended.
"It's you who hit you!" Stockton said secretly, and Rodman went one-on-one.
Malone led Skiles to run to the other side, and only Stockton and Rodman were left in the half.
Rodman's huge figure firmly enveloped Stockton. Stockton was only 188 centimeters, nearly 20 centimeters shorter than Rodman.
Stockton's breakthrough to the left was easily blocked by Rodman.
"Is that the level? You can't break through Lord Rodman at this level!" Rodman said to Stockton confidently.
Stockton is not in a hurry, his speed is not fast, but he has an excellent sense of rhythm, and there is no gap between the two changes.Rodman inadvertently fell behind Stockton by half a body.
Relying on the powerful bonus brought by his natural skills, Rodman forcibly pulled his body back and regained his position.
However, Stockton stopped suddenly, pulled the ball back inconceivably, and under Rodman's horrified gaze, he took a step back, just outside the three-point line, took off, and shot.
"brush!"
The ball enters the net hollow.
Rodman rushed over to interfere, but the ball slid past his fingertips.
After landing, Rodman sat on the ground with an unstable center of gravity. He looked back quickly, but saw the ball cross a perfect arc and fell directly into the basket.
He was full of self-blame, he was sure of this kind of ball, but Stockton was so confident that he shot from the top of his head and hit it.
At this time, a hand stretched out in front of Rodman.
"Get up, attack and watch me!"
O'Neal came to Rodman, pulled Rodman up, and patted his ass.
"Don't worry, Dennis, look at mine next."
Rodman looked at O'Neill, the big face he was used to seeing, always with a happy smile, shining with determination.
"Don't worry! Leave the defense to me! On the offensive end, it's up to you."
The two ran to the front court one after the other.
O'Neal came to the frontcourt and easily got into position very close to the basket.
But there was a problem with Skiles. He had no room to pass the ball under Stockton's defense, as if his shot would be cut off by Stockton.
Seeing this, Rodman hurried out to make a pick-and-roll for Skiles, Skiles passed the ball to Rodman, Rodman held the ball high to avoid Stockton's interference, and then lobbed the ball to O'Neal.
O'Neal unreasonably pushed the defender away, turned around and was about to dunk.
Malone pounced on the side without hesitation, trying to interfere with O'Neal's dunk.
"Even if it's a foul, I'll pull you down!" Malone hit O'Neal with a merciless shot.
The veins in O'Neill's hands were bulging, and he forced the ball into Malone's interference.
"Di!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"The goal is valid, and the 32nd penalty will be added!"
O'Neal got down from the basket, slapped his teammates around, and looked at Malone next to him, with no expression on his face.
Not only the audience on the sidelines had a climax, but even Michael Davis, who was watching from the TV, was also excited.
"This is the charm of basketball!" Michael Davis murmured.
The following process will be spent in Stockton + Malone vs. O'Neal + Rodman.
Stockton single-handedly took care of the team's organization and defense, and Malone concentrated on scoring.
On the Magic side, Rodman became the inside, or the defensive core of the team, while O'Neal used his unstoppable physical advantage to continuously score points inside.
"Rodman + O'Neill, really the strongest spear and the strongest shield!" Michael DeWeese muttered to himself, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I am the one who controls the shield and spear!"
I'm sorry, I only found out that this is a 2K copy when I posted it. This is a saved manuscript. I looked at it and found that there is no room for further development, so I won't count the words anymore. Please ask for a recommendation ticket. There is another chapter after 12 o'clock. Please ask for a recommendation ticket
