Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 228 Second
From the third quarter, the Celtics and Jazz began to replace the main players of the two teams, while the Celtics only left one Johnny to play with a substitute lineup, and the Jazz left John Stoke. Dunton and Karl Malone were on the field.

Both Karl Malone and John Stockton can be called iron men. Although they are already over 30 years old, they still played a lot of regular games like this. When it gradually came to an end, it turned out to be the reason for the sudden emergence and dominance in the West for several consecutive years.

The jazz has a fierce style, and Jerry Sloan's pick-and-roll tactic is also a very awesome tactic. This tactic will later lead the trend of the nba for the next 20 years. Regardless of the success of the Spurs coaches in later generations, it is actually relying on Bobo Vecchi painstakingly studied a set of tactics from European tactics and pick-and-roll tactics, including the Grizzlies led by Jogel, which also had the shadow of pick-and-roll tactics.

It can be said that the most powerful tactic in the NBA is the pick-and-roll tactic. Looking at the NBA teams after 21 years in the 10st century, all of their tactics have the emergence of pick-and-roll tactics.

The pick-and-roll tactics are difficult to defend, especially the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics. Jerry Sloan has been coaching the Jazz for 10 years. Under his research, the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics can undergo many changes. For example, the Jazz just scored a goal. John Stockton rushed inside, Karl Malone set him a pick and roll, and then the inside center outflanked and did a double block, and Johnny was thrown away by John Stockton.

But just this is not enough, after rushing into the inside, Karl Malone put up a pick and roll again, and it turned out that Karl Malone was unguarded, and finally Karl Malone, the blocker, made a mid-range shot and hit.And the Celtics were played by the Jazz's changeable pick-and-roll tactics.In fact, even the current Bulls have to kneel when they meet the Jazz, because Michael Jordan is far worse than the current John Stockton and Karl Malone.

But even if Karl Malone and John Stockton maintain a stable output, the Celtics are not afraid at all, because the desert butcher's R skill-Jony, who is full of effort, has already gone berserk. After Karl Malone hit the ball, Jonny picked up the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. Facing Bryan Russell's defense, Jonny rushed into the three-point line and made a fallback jumper, which was also hit.

But the Celtics can rely on Jonny's personal performance. Among the other players who came off the bench, players like Anthony Parker and Di Brown are not threatening. They can score one or two three-pointers at most, which is considered beneficial to the team. On the Jazz side, players like backup shooting guard Shanton Anderson and Howard Ellis were able to stand up on the bench and output crazily.

After Jonny hit a fadeaway jumper, Howard Ellis made a three-pointer through consecutive pick-and-rolls.

And after this three-pointer, the Jazz took a three-point lead, but Jonny began to confront each other. He then returned a three-pointer, which was also a hit.

As soon as the connection was made, Karl Malone missed a mid-range shot, and when Jonny was about to overtake the score, he also returned a strike.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics trailed by 72 points in the away game with 75:3.

And in the last quarter, the decisive battle came. In the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides played again. The Celtics took the lead in attacking. It was quite embarrassing to miss the open three-pointer.

Then the Jazz hit a mid-range shot steadily, and then the Celtics turned around. Jonny also missed the mid-range shot. In this way, the Celtics fell behind by almost 10 in the first two or three rounds. point.

At this time, Jonny was ready to continue to work alone, but Jonny's touch fell into a cold state at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Jazz took advantage of this time period to open up the point difference in one fell swoop. With 6 minutes left, the Celtics trailed by 20 points. The Celtics felt that they had no hope of winning. The Celtics had to challenge the Clippers one day later. Too much wasted here The energy is obviously irrational.

So Rick Pitino quickly replaced all the main players and played as substitutes. The Jazz will challenge the Supersonics away in two days. Their pressure is also not small. After the Celtics replaced the substitutes, the Jazz also quickly They replaced their main players and all came off the bench.

The head coaches of both sides also communicated with each other on the sidelines, and the game ended. The Celtics lost their 13th game of the season, but this loss was still in the Celtics' plan. In the Celtics' plan, teams like the Jazz and Bulls can fight as long as they can, and it's normal if they can't. The Celtics won two games with the Bulls this season, which is already a surprise.

The game is over, and the summary of the game has also begun in the Celtics. Losing to a strong team is not terrible, because after losing to a strong team, the team can find out the current problems of the team, such as this In one game, the problem was obvious. When Derek Coleman met a powerful power forward and misfired, the Celtics still couldn't find a player who could stand up, except for Jonny.

And this also created a problem for Michael Leon Carr in Boston. Originally, he was ready to give up making a deal before the trade deadline. Now it seems that another deal to get a slightly more stable scorer seems to be very important.

However, February 2th is the trade deadline, and it is already the night of February 14th, and there is only more than one day. It is really difficult to make a deal, especially with the current Celtics. There is no trading target, but for Michael Leon Carr, no matter how difficult it is, he will try.

Today’s Celtics are gaining momentum. Michael Leon Carr knows that the better the Celtics’ performance this year, the more outstanding players the Celtics will be able to attract next season. Michael Leon Carr is a visionary general manager The manager, in the Celtics team, except for a few rookies, there is no player with a long-term contract, so the Celtics next season can have a lot of salary space to operate.

You can even take advantage of the free market to sign a few big names.Next year is the year when the labor agreement is re-signed, so there are many big-name players whose contracts expire, such as Alonzo Mourning of the Heat, and Gary Payton of the Supersonics. Their contracts will expire next year, and There is no hope of staying with the original team to win the championship, and they want to join a team that has been able to hit the championship. Then the Celtics, who have played an excellent record this year, are naturally a very good choice.

So this season, with Jonny leading the team alone, and the Celtics having an excellent record, they have more ideas.
