NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 166 Against the Jazz
From Daba's point of view, if Ma Long really dared to make an elbow with him, then he would never let him off lightly.

Is it a big deal to have a fight?The bus really doesn't believe that Malone can turn the world upside down.

After instructing the bus, Davidson instructs Snow and Richmond again. It is better for them to be careful when they will go to Stockton.

Stockton is the one who can make Jordan anxious, and Davidson is really afraid that Snow or Richmond will be injured.

It's all hit at this juncture. No matter who is injured in the starting five, it will be a fatal blow to the Kings.

Jazz's starting lineup debut, Malone, Hornacek, Felton - Spencer, Brian - Russell and Stockton.

Among them, Spencer played the center position and Russell played the small forward position.

Although these two are playing the starters, they are actually completely soy sauce roles.

The biggest role of them staying on the field is to make up the number of five people?

The Jazz's shortcomings are the two positions of center and small forward, and the other three positions can almost be regarded as the top of the league.

Needless to say, the Utah Shuangsha two are the most powerful forward in the league, and the other is the strongest point guard in the league.

As for Hornacek, who plays the second position, his three-point ability is among the top in the league, and his defensive ability is not at the level of holding back.

With such a lineup, Davidson is still under some pressure. What he is most afraid of now is Hornacek's three-pointer.

If Hornacek splits the three, then this round of the series will not be so easy to play.

Muresan won the ball in the first offensive round for the Kings, and Snow controlled the ball and advanced.

After the ball reached the frontcourt, it was passed directly to the bus. Now the bus is the number one offensive point in the Kings.

After receiving the ball, the bus faced Malone's defense, turned over and leaned back and shot. The ball was scored steadily and won a good start for the Kings.

Davidson nodded. As long as the offensive point of the bus is not injured, it will be very stable. Now it depends on whether other players can play at a high level.

It was the Jazz's turn to attack. After Stockton took control of the ball to the frontcourt, Malone mentioned the high post and made a pick-and-roll.

The essence of the Jazz's two-man pick-and-roll is incomparable, and countless teams in later generations have imitated the Jazz's two-man pick-and-roll tactic.

With the help of Malone's majestic body, Stockton easily got rid of Snow's defense.

However, Richmond made a timely supplementary defense and blocked Stockton's shot path, but in this short period of time, Stockton made an exquisite pass and passed the ball to Hornacek.

The next thing is to see Hornacek's three-pointer hollow into the net.

Richmond raised his finger, indicating that the ball was his own fault.

Then he told Walter that if this happens again, Walter should make up defense as much as possible, or switch to Hornacek with himself.

……

It was the king's offensive round again, and the bus still held the ball to single Malone. Although the ball failed to score, Muresan easily grabbed the rebound at the basket, and then made a dunk on Spencer's head.

Ma Long was quite helpless for the bus's rather outside style of play.

He pulled Malone to a high position. In this way, Malone could not participate in the rebounding, which caused the Jazz to suffer a lot from rebounding.

Spencer's rebounding ability can only be regarded as below average, and he is completely a younger brother in front of Muresan.

The expression on Davidson's face eased. In the game against the Jazz, they only need to deal with the two-man pick-and-roll of Utah Shuangsha and Hornacek's three-pointer, and there is no problem in winning this round of the series.

In the next offensive round of the Jazz, Utah Shuangsha repeated the old trick, and it was still a high-level two-person pick-and-roll.

The quality of Malone's pick-and-roll this time was not high, and Stockton could not get rid of Snow's defense, but this situation is not without solutions.

Stockton passed the ball back to Malone, and Malone held the ball directly and prepared to cut to the basket.

But on the way, he was directly blocked by the bus.

Ma Long habitually opened the way with a big elbow, and one elbow landed on the chest of the bus, but this elbow failed to exert its due effect at all.

For a super meat shield player like Daba, it is not a big deal to suffer from this elbow. On the contrary, after suffering the pain, Daba became more aggressive and stronger.

Before the bus hugged and threw Mourning to the ground, many people in the league were extremely afraid of the bus's hug and fall.

Malone is obviously one of them.

Seeing the bus make a move, the whole person immediately stopped the forward momentum. He knew very well that if he continued to rush, the only possible end would be to be overturned by the bus.

After stopping the forward momentum, Ma Long jumped up and made a mid-range shot.

"Duang..." The ball missed, and when his body was out of balance, he hit the iron directly.

Muresan easily grabbed the rebound again.

Ma Long walked directly towards the referee, this is to ask the referee for a whistle.

But the referee completely ignored it...

If it wasn't the bus just now, then the referee probably didn't need Malone to ask for the whistle, and blew it on his own initiative.

But now that the bus is at the same level as Malone, the whistle cannot be blown.

The referee will definitely favor the stars, which is the so-called star whistle, but if both sides are stars with similar ranks, this whistle cannot be blown indiscriminately.

If you really want to blow it according to the rules, Malone's big elbow broke through just now, it is enough to call him a malicious foul, and it is enough to give him a technical foul.

Seeing that the referee ignored his whistle, Ma Long's face was ashen.

Davidson on the sidelines laughed, and this is what makes the wicked have their own way.

Malone's main offensive methods are breakthroughs and mid-range shots.

Now the breakthrough is definitely impossible. If you only rely on CIC, Ma Long is not so terrible.

The most important thing is that because of the offensive style of the bus, Malone can't maximize the protection of rebounds, and the role of the whole person is directly reduced to half.

It is estimated that what Ma Long wants most now is that the team can introduce a super inside blue-collar who is comparable to Muresan...

The two sides fought fiercely, and Davidson looked at the situation on the court and knew that the Jazz were unlikely to be their king's opponent.

The main reason is that the bus is too buggy, Wanke Malong...

There is nothing to say about the strong offensive end of the bus, but the rebounding is not very good. Anyway, it must not rank among the league's power forwards.

As for the defensive end, it’s actually not that strong, but it’s the only thing that restrains those power forwards who rely on strength, such as Barkley, such as Malone...

In the first round of the playoffs, Barkley was ravaged by the bus, and this time, it was Malone's turn to be abused.

……

The situation on the court is quite favorable for the Kings, and the only thing that can be regarded as a variable now is the Jazz's three-pointer.

However, the problem of three-pointers is not too big. The main reason is that they shoot less. If they shoot more three-pointers, then Davidson may really have a headache.
