Seeing the score tied, Howard laughed and said, "We seem to have a chance to win."

"Don't make trouble, the last goal! We can't afford to lose!"

Kobe's expression was solemn, and he was really speechless about Howard's immature character.

At this moment, Qin Xiao was also very nervous.

As a rookie, he has played one of the few games he has played, especially at this critical moment, where one goal determines the outcome of the game.

Although he has a big heart, but...

At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement and tension, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Wait a minute and I'll play a pick-and-roll with you, and you go kill them."

Millsap patted Al Jefferson's arm to remind him.

Al Jefferson smiled, showing his white teeth.

This kind of key ball handling is very strategic.

Generally speaking, by covering the running position, it is relatively easy to find the shooting space and then project the lore.

For the Jazz, the pick-and-roll attack is a more effective tactic.

Because first of all, although Howard is a dpoy, he has excellent frame protection ability, his jumping and height and arm length are very good, but he has a big shortcoming.

It is very easy to be tricked into jumping, known as the "jumping man" in the league, and it is easy to fake moves when defending.

Although the coach and Kobe repeatedly warned him not to be deceived by fake moves, the defense must rely on height and wingspan to cover the opponent, but Howard can't control himself.

He especially likes the feeling of jumping high and slapping the opponent's ball.

Caps are his favorite!

For Howard, blocking shots is even more fun than scoring.

This is also the terrifying statistic that he was able to hit nine blocks in a single game on the stage of the finals, breaking the historical record of the NBA.

However, at this moment, his habit has become a shortcoming in the eyes of the other party.

Returning from the timeout, the head coach of the Jazz replaced the players again and readjusted the players to a relatively balanced state.

Millsap pushed forward with the ball, he controlled the rhythm, and was pressing time.

This is to avoid leaving time for the opponent to counter lore after one's own attack.

He was not in a hurry, and he felt like he was strolling in the garden.

The Lakers didn't give him too much pressure, because everyone knew that this attack could be any four players left, but it wouldn't be him.

Because he is the starting point of the attack, but not the end point.

The stopwatch is counting down...

"Is the Jazz going to use the easiest way to win?"

The commentator guessed that the Jazz might play a simple tactic this time.

Because the simpler the tactics, there is a reason behind it, that is, the lower the error rate.

Although complex tactics will have the effect of surprise, it is easy to get rid of the defenders, but it is also easy to cause mistakes.

What does a mistake mean at a time like this?means failure.

Therefore, for old fritters like Millsap, the simplest tactics are the most effective.

"The Lakers' defensive intensity is too high, the Jazz must handle this offense well!"

The on-site commentator said excitedly that although the Lakers lineup did not work well in the game, their defense has always been very good.

Because they have two defensive experts, Kobe and Howard.

Both are regulars on the best defensive team!

Although Nash's defense is a shortcoming due to age, height, and strength, his weaknesses are covered up in the entire defensive system.

As the time approached, the auditorium couldn't help but quiet down, everyone held their breath, waiting for the key blow.

But Qin Xiao has completely relaxed, he calmly watched everything on the field, analyzing what will happen next.

He wondered what he would do if he were the Jazz.

Attack inside?

He himself was startled by the thought.

Although the Jazz's long-range shots are not satisfactory, they are not brilliant, and the Lakers have Howard sitting in the inside, so they will not attack the inside under normal circumstances.

However, even if you can't score by hitting the inside line, there is still a high chance of causing a foul. As long as you get to the free throw line, the ball is almost guaranteed.

On the whole, Howard is very likely to be the target they choose.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao made a bold decision.

"Oh, the Jazz are on the offensive!"

Nash defended against Millsap, and at this moment, Millsap accelerated towards the inside to kill.

Nash couldn't keep up, because at this time, he was blocked by Al Jefferson.

One stop and one score!

Nash secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. He had considered the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics, but he felt that it was unlikely.

But the other party really used it.

Nash quickly returned to the defense and changed people. He went to defend Al Jefferson who passed the pick-and-roll, while Millsap who dribbled and broke through was handled by Howard.

This is also a no-brainer. If Howard does not choose to make a substitution, he will be driven straight in by Millsap.

Therefore, it is up to Nash to face the tall Al Jefferson.

Howard was very anxious, he quickly blocked Millsap, regardless of the tall inside player, Howard is not as bulky as other tall inside players, his foot movement speed is very good.

He was not accelerated by Millsap, but was like a huge net, firmly covering Millsap.

Not bad!

Kobe, who was defending near the three-point line, looked at Howard's defense and narrowed his eyes.

Howard's pace is very solid, there is no space for the opponent to layup.

When Millsap was approaching the basket, he combined the ball and then faked a shot.

Howard instinctively wanted to jump up, but remembering the coach's previous teachings, he held back.

He just raised his arm high and interfered with Millsap's shot.

The seasoned Millsap made another jump shot. Howard saw the opponent jump up. This time he didn't hesitate and jumped up.

However, the basketball didn't shoot towards the basket as he thought, and naturally he couldn't block shots.

"Beautiful, Millsap."

The Jazz bench shouted loudly.

"Oh... the pass from the Jazz, this is a very stealthy pass!"

It turned out that the ball had been passed to Al Jefferson, who was going down, and the route of the ball was very hidden. Nash tried desperately to break it, but he was powerless.

At this moment, he didn't dare to foul, because even an ordinary foul would send the opponent to the free throw line.

Al Jefferson catches the ball, jumps high, and dunks it into the hoop.

At this moment, Howard couldn't turn around to help defend at all. With Nash's height, he could only look up...

"Al Jefferson's position, he is about to dunk, if this ball is dunked, the Jazz will win!"

The entire arena was dead silent, and everyone knew that the overall situation was settled and the Lakers were about to lose.

At this moment, an extremely fast shadow appeared out of nowhere.
