Chapter 204 Give Me the Ball
At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides temporarily put down their main players to rest.

The Jazz put down both Deron Williams and Boozer and replaced them with a rotation dominated by Andrei Kirilenko.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, Kwame Brown, and Radmanovich all went to rest. The current lineup is Fisher, Tyronn Lue, Jinhao, Ariza, and DJ Mbenga.

Putting Jin Hao on top of the power forward position is the conclusion that Phil Jackson reached after several team trainings and various considerations.

After all, with Jin Hao's height, he can play in positions 1 to 4, but he can play his greatest role in position 1.

This arrangement can also satisfy Derek Fisher, otherwise he has the title of starter but does not have enough playing time. If this continues, there will be conflicts within the team sooner or later.

The core of this bench lineup is of course Jin Hao.

Although the average altitude of the 5 players on the field is not high at this time, they are highly mobile now, and positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 all have quite good passing and shooting abilities, which is very conducive to Jinhao's technical characteristics.

"Phil Jackson put on a small lineup, what is his secret? Let us wait and see!"

This is the first time this lineup has been shown. Naturally, it has received doubts from the outside world, but thinking that the Lakers coach is the famous champion coach Phil Jackson, everyone is more tolerant and understanding.

The strength of the bench lineups of both sides should be that the Lakers are better. This is a critical period for the Lakers to overtake the score.

And Jin Hao is facing AK47 Kirilenko who is at his peak. This guy was just selected for the league's first defense last season, and he is definitely the top defensive master in the NBA at this time.

For Jin Hao, this is a great test, but he is not afraid. If he is afraid just because the opponent is strong, then why does he play?

"Player: Andrey Kirilenko

Height: 2 meters 06,

Weight: 102 kg
Physical fitness evaluation: A
Technical Evaluation: A+
Basketball IQ: S-
Comprehensive strength evaluation: A+”

At this time, AK47 was still at the peak of his career. With his tough defensive style, he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team many times, and he also entered the All-Star Game in the 03-04 season.

After retiring, this guy chose to go into politics, and even became the chairman of the Russian Basketball Association. This is somewhat similar to Chairman Yao, and his basketball IQ is frighteningly high.

"What a stubble! But I like it!"

……

After the opening of the third quarter, the Jazz still attacked first.

The Jazz's backup point guard Jason Hart held the ball at the top arc after halftime, and Fisher also blocked it. While putting pressure on Jason Hart with his strong body, he waved his arms and waited for an opportunity to steal.

Although Fisher, an old fish, sacrificed his life for his own playing time, he wanted to prove his worth to Phil Jackson by preventing Jason Hart from killing him.

Poor Jason Hart faced Fisher, who was a class higher than him, and could only barely protect the ball, and the rhythm of the quick kill was interrupted.

Seeing Jason Hart being entangled, Andrei Kirilenko immediately ran over to complete the hand-to-hand pass.

Jason Hart quickly made a cover for Kirilenko to block Jin Hao who was chasing behind.

One thing to say, Kirilenko's ball handling ability is quite good, worthy of his title of all-round player.

Seeing that Jin Hao was blocked, Kirilenko started directly and rushed down to the paint area.

Facing DJ Mbenga's defense, a standard European step layup, put the ball into the basket.

The point difference between the two teams widened to 5 points.

Fisher took the ball and slowly led it across the half court, without seeming panicked at all.

After arriving at the top of the arc, Director Lu came over from the right to catch the ball with the help of DJ Mbenga's cover, and quickly entered the inside from the left.

But the layup was just an illusion. After attracting two people to defend, Lu directed a disguise in advance, took a big step with his right foot and took a step back, passing the ball to Ariza who made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Ariza received the ball, and there was no one in the two-meter radius to interfere with the marking. He adjusted slightly and jumped up confidently.

"Shua!" A three-pointer scored.

The tempo of both sides is relatively slow, playing in no rush.

This time it was Andrei Kirilenko who received the ball at the top of the arc, and then made a gesture, and the others quickly pulled away.

"Hey, are you going to single me out? Where did you get the courage?"

Who said that this AK47's ability to control the ball is really good, it's just relative to a forward player, he still can't reach the level of Jin Hao's singles with the ball.

Besides, based on Lianke's technical characteristics, he is more inclined to shoot, defend and pass after running without the ball, rather than singles with the ball.

Hearing what Jin Hao said, Kirilenko didn't react. A base handed the ball to Paul Millsap who withdrew to within 45 degrees of the left three-point line, that is, the "Mi God" of later generations. !
This late bloomer All-Star entered the NBA a year before Jin Hao, and was still a substitute for the Jazz at this time.

After Millsap received the ball, Andrei Kirilenko led Jin Hao to start running to open up space for Millsap.

The 2-meter Millsap is a short power forward, and Ariza is enough to defend him. This is also the confidence that Phil Jackson put Ariza in the 03th position.

Millsap tried several times to get inside from the right, but was blocked by Ariza's tough defense.

At this time, Mishen has not yet received the team's key cultivation. Seeing that the offensive choice is difficult, he immediately passed the ball to the backup center Jalen Collins.

Seeing that time was running out, Jalen Collins had to make a rash move, and finally hit the iron.

It was the Lakers offense again, and now the old fisher Fisher was in charge. With the help of Jin Hao's cover, Fisher broke out from the left wing, saw someone blocking in front, and passed the ball to Director Lu on the other side.

After receiving the ball, Director Lu calmly dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and suddenly threw the ball out with an overhead pass.

At this time, Jin Hao broke into the penalty area along the baseline, just received a pass from Director Lu, and looked directly at the basket with his eyes.

Andrei Kirilenko had long expected that Jin Hao wanted to slip to the bottom line to steal a chicken, so he moved towards Jin Hao.

"Wait, stinky kid, I will teach you a big lesson!"

Kirilenko defended from the side and jumped up to block the shot, only to find him slapped lonely.

Jin Hao had long been wary of Kirilenko's pursuit, but he was not too flustered. He first received the ball immediately, and then with a flick of his wrist, the ball immediately reached Ariza who was emptied at the free throw line.

Such a sudden score is too simple for the police, and he has long been used to it.

After Ariza successfully received the ball, he pulled it up and threw the ball.

For open shots, Ariza, who is just a nobody at this time, still cherishes it very much, and he seized this opportunity.

Today the iron tree blossomed, two points were scored, and the two sides evened the score.

After the goal, the Lakers quickly returned to defense and did not give the Jazz a chance to make a fast break.

The DJ at the scene rarely remembered Ariza's name, and there was a burst of cheers from the fans.

"Is this my cheer? It's so exciting!"

Ariza hadn't seen this kind of scene much, and raised his hands excitedly to greet the surrounding fans.

Anyway, on the Jazz side, after seeing the team's score tied, Jerry Sloan couldn't help but growl again.

It has to be said that the old man's roaring attack is still very effective.

In the next two offenses, the Jazz's defense did not give the Lakers a chance. Faced with Kirilenko's ubiquitous supplementary defense inside the three-point line, everyone felt uncomfortable.

"We can't go on like this!" This was the thought in Jin Hao's mind.

At this time, 3 minutes have passed since the start of the third quarter, and the scores of the two sides are now rising alternately.

But the Jazz obviously belonged to the more advantageous side. This is not what Jin Hao wants to see, nor does it have to be. This is what the leading coaching staff wants to see.

"Give me the ball, Derek, and I'll control it. You run according to the training in the team, and shoot when you get the chance! Do you have any objections?"
