Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 227

"Laozi" has a saying, there is no disaster greater than underestimating the enemy, underestimating the enemy will almost lose my treasure, so when the resistance and soldiers add up, the mourner will win.

It is unrealistic to expect these young American spiritual guys to understand the truth that the underdog must win. Perhaps only realistic beatings can wake them up.

The fourth game of the Western Conference semifinals is coming soon. The Los Angeles Lakers at home will continue to use the starting lineup of the previous game, with center Shaquille O'Neal leading, Eldon Campbell and Robert Horry partnering forwards, Kobe Bryant Bryant and Nick Van Exel form the back line.

For the Utah Jazz, Karl Malone, who suffered a serious injury to his right wrist, served as the starting center, Antoine Kyle was assigned to the starting power forward position, Brian Russell, Jeff Hornacer Ke and John Stockton remain unchanged.

Game start!Shaquille O'Neal and Karl Malone jump ball in the middle!

Although Karl Malone failed to win the jump ball, the Utah Jazz's defensive momentum was not affected at all!

The Los Angeles Lakers will start almost all their games with Shaq, and today is no exception!

For Karl Malone to defend himself, Shaquille O'Neal is obviously not fully prepared, especially when the opponent arranges a high-intensity defense around the front as soon as he comes up!

The Utah Jazz not only guarded against Shaquille O'Neal's catch, even if Nick Van Exel wanted to throw the ball back inside, he had no chance. John Stockton was almost stuck on his body. Don't give him room to pass the ball!

If the ball is not in Shaq's hands, Nick Van Exel has to make a fuss about other teammates.

Nick Van Exel handed the ball to Robert Horry, and guarded Robert Horry's outside attack very strictly!
After feinting many times in a row, Robert Horry couldn't get a single shot!
It was transferred to Elden Campbell on the other side of the inside line. Antoine Kyle defended him well, but in desperation, Elden Campbell hit the ground and gave it to the high-speed air-cutting Kobe!

Kobe Bryant's sudden back-run cut did not completely shake off Jeff Hornacek, and when Kobe got the ball and was about to take off, Jeff Hornacek stabbed him from the back and destroyed the ball. Out of the bottom line!

It can be seen from the first goal of the game that the defense of the Utah Jazz today has a kind of decisiveness. If the Lakers do not improve their offensive quality, it will be difficult for them to destroy such a defensive formation!
The Los Angeles Lakers serve from the baseline, and Eldon Campbell passes the ball to Kobe in the mid-range position. There is not much time left in the attack, Kobe breaks through the frame for two steps and then makes an emergency stop jumper!

Under the strict defense of Jeff Hornacek, he missed the strike! ·
Karl Malone turned into an Astro Boy with arms stretched out to resist Shaquille O'Neal's push and push, and grabbed the backcourt rebound angrily on the spot!

Such astonishing power amazed the fans of the Staples Center. They had never seen Shaquille O'Neal being resisted so lightly!

After grabbing the backboard, Kaker Malone immediately passed the ball to John Stockton who was sneaking down!

The reason why he dared to run such a fast break is that John Stockton has absolute confidence in his partner's rebounding ability!
In the previous games, the Utah Jazz's offensive rhythm was that kind of steady rhythm, but in the first offense in the opening game, John Stockton started a one-stop attack all over the court!

Most people have never seen John Stockton making such an offensive choice. Although Nick Van Exel is constantly confronting his opponent physically, John Stockton absolutely You can teach him to be a man!

After pushing Nick Van Exel all the way to the basket, John Stockton threw his body out and knocked his opponent into the air!
Regardless of the result, the referee blew his whistle and punished Madman Fan for blocking foul!

As soon as the whistle sounded, the ball hit the board and went into the basket!
After scoring such a wonderful goal, all members of the Utah Jazz were paralyzed. After a simple high-five, John Stockton walked to the free throw line.

After hitting a free throw with no expression on his face, all members of the Utah Jazz retreated quickly.

Magic Johnson: "Just looking at these tens of seconds, we can draw a conclusion that Kareem's predictions are all right!

The Lakers' game today will definitely be very difficult!The Utah Jazz are obviously more prepared for the game! "

A layman watching the excitement and an expert watching the doorway. Although Magic Johnson was a little blindly optimistic before the game, when the game actually started, he still knew that the Utah Jazz was absolutely prepared and the Lakers were in danger.

Wilt Chamberlain: "Yes, generally speaking, the Utah Jazz are more like playing in the playoffs, and the intensity of the Lakers' game is a bit behind their opponents."

The comparison of spirits between the two teams made Marshal Zhang start to worry. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Utah Jazz is the team with stronger fighting spirit.

The game lasted only one round, and the nightmare had just begun.

Shaquille O'Neal still can't catch the ball, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it won't help if no one delivers the shells.

Robert Horry was the first person to come up with a solution on the Lakers field, this mobile doll dynasty really lived up to his reputation!

Robert Horry: "Nick, give me the ball!"

Robert Horry, standing on the free throw line, asked for the ball towards Nick Van Exel!
Seeing that his teammates wanted to take the initiative to take the responsibility of dominating and seeking perfection, Nick Van Exel hurriedly sent out the hot potato!

With Brian Russell on his back, Robert Horry takes the ball and turns to face the basket!

Robert Horry: "Ball! Shaq!"

After firmly controlling the ball in his hands, Robert Horry began to direct the Shaquille O'Neal to position.

Shaquille O'Neal, who had already guessed Robert Horry's intentions, started wrestling with Karl Malone again!
Facing Brian Russell who has a certain height advantage, Robert Horry passed a reverse lob pass to Shaquille O'Neal's head!
When the ball was passed, Robert Horry thought it would be a perfect precision assist!

From the perspective of passing technology alone, Robert Horry's ball can indeed be called an elite level, but Karl Malone's defense has shown a master level!
In the state of constantly pushing each other with the big shark O'Neal, Karl Malone jumped back with all his strength!

Even though he is slightly inferior in height, Karl Malone's strength and jumping are definitely on par with Shaq!
