Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 228
Even if Shaquille O'Neal's fingertip height is higher, it is difficult to completely control the ball with such a fierce physical confrontation with Shaq in the air!
The two grabbed the ball consecutively!Brian Russell gave up Robert Horry and hugged the ball in his arms between the two landing!
Skyhook Kareem: "Robert's choice is very smart, but Karl Malone's defensive area is too large, and his defensive intensity also made Shaq very uncomfortable.

However, it is definitely a very good idea to use a big man to pass a reverse lob to Shaq. Maybe Wang Dazhi can pass a reverse lob that makes Karl Malone helpless. "

Although Wang Dazhi's assist data is not much more dazzling than that of Robert Horry, but the delicacy and softness of his passing is still much better than that of Robert Horry.

Wang Dazhi's passing ability, especially the single item of internal passing, has been unanimously recognized by people in the industry.

Magic Johnson: "If you want to pass a reverse lob that can pass Karl Malone, whether it is angle or strength, the success is in the slightest!
Only when the passer has a height advantage can he control the accuracy more easily. Obviously Nick does not have such an advantage.

What Karim said is correct, this task has to wait for DZ to see if he can handle it, but I don't know if Coach Delmar Harris sent DZ to play according to the established plan or in advance? "

For passing issues, Magic Johnson obviously has more say.

While speaking, the Utah Jazz also organized an offense in the frontcourt.

With John Stockton's one-stop 2+1 knockout just now, this time the Los Angeles Lakers have the awareness to retreat quickly. When Brian Russell won the ball, Robert Horry even ran back to the foul line in his own half.

Unable to play fast, John Stockton had the patience to organize a half-court attack.

Shaquille O'Neal's mind is also very active. He knows that Karl Malone's defense like that is basically equivalent to giving up the offense.

Usually Shaquille O'Neal often kills the Quartet in the offense, and he often slackens on the defensive end to save energy.

But in this game, the situation is different from the past. Shark O'Neal has a hunch that he may not have too many offensive opportunities throughout the game, so he must perform on the defensive end tonight, otherwise as the leader of the team It would be too bad if there is no sense of presence on both offensive and defensive ends!

Driven by this mentality, Shaquille O'Neal took the initiative to switch to Antoine Kyle.

Shaquille O’Neal’s prediction was correct. The Utah Jazz’s offensive focus in this game is no longer Karl Malone. When John Stockton dribbled the ball to look for opportunities, he took the initiative to stand on the edge of the three-point line Create space for other teammates.

Seeing Shaq on Antoine Kyle, John Stockton immediately called his pick and roll!
Being targeted by Shaquille O'Neal, Antoine Kyle secretly rejoiced. In terms of his ability to play, Eldon Campbell's perimeter defensive footwork is stronger, so he is more willing to play against Shaq. point.

As the team's core defender, John Stockton knows each player's playing habits and shooting hotspots.

Antoine Kyle's screen was just on the three-point line, and it was difficult for Shaquille O'Neal's defensive area to cover beyond the three-point line. Otherwise, with his lateral movement speed, it would be extremely easy for the opponent to break into the inside!
Antoine Kyle firmly blocked Nick Van Exel, and John Stockton faced the big shark!
Meeting a point guard with an overwhelming desire to attack, Shaq subconsciously lowered his center of gravity!

John Stockton has no fear against Shaquille O'Neal's defense and jumps into action!Press one step and stop jump shot!

Shaquille O'Neal didn't even have time to make a defensive move!Fortunately, Nick Van Exel even came to assist in the defense!In the competition of pure jumping ability, Maniac Fan has to hold down John Stockton!
Attracting the defensive attention of the two Los Angeles Lakers, John Stockton, who was floating in the air, distributed the ball to Antoine Kyle, who was diagonally behind him!

Many pedantic coaches think that jumping and passing the ball is a taboo on the basketball court, but the top pass masters in the history of the NBA all have the stunt of jumping and passing the ball, such as Steve Nash, such as John. Stockton!

Antoine Kyle, who was unmarked from outside the three-point line, made a slight adjustment after receiving the pass, and made a steady hit!
6-0!

The pick-and-roll man is no longer Karl Malone, but the Utah Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are still sharp!
Being slapped in the face by the opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers must find their own offensive rhythm. After Nick Van Exel came to the frontcourt, he found that his teammates still could not produce an effective connection with Shaq.

At this time, Kobe stepped forward, and Kobe, holding the ball outside the three-point line, motioned for everyone to pull away!

After several playoff games, Kobe's breakthrough ability is obvious to all the Lakers. When Shaquille O'Neal's offense was limited and Wang Dazhi was not on the court, the young Kobe stood up, and others were naturally willing to cooperate with him. open space!

Jeff Hornacek's defensive stance is obvious, that is, I don't let go!Kobe Bryant was a real blaster in his youth, and his breakthrough is the most feared weapon for opponents!

Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, I prefer to walk on the mountain, the more you prevent me from breaking through, the more I will attack you!

An exaggerated disguise shook Jeff Hornacek's center of gravity away, and then there was an accelerated breakthrough like a catapult!
Kobe passed Jeff Hornacek, and he was about to dunk in front of him!
But just before Kobe took off, Karl Malone, who straddled him, stood firmly with both feet outside the reasonable collision zone!

Like a sports car crashing into a city wall, Kobe suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell headfirst!

But even with a complete loss of balance, Kobe still used his soft fingers and wrists to put the ball into the basket!
At the moment of the shot, Kobe also shouted out Wang Dazhi's brand, And 1!

Kobe and Karl Malone fell into a ball!
I have to admit that Karl Malone's defense this time is very brave. Any fall to the ground may aggravate his wrist injury, and he can't care about these things because he wants to support the Utah Jazz's defensive system!

The referee did blow the whistle, but things backfired and Kobe was called an offensive foul!

Even though Karl Malone demonstrated a textbook offensive foul, the Staples Center fans booed the referee!

Kobe was also communicating with the referee, but to no avail, the Los Angeles Lakers could only continue to defend.
