NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Antoine Kyle never expected that he would be hit by a dimensionality reduction attack from a super powerful player!

Just halfway through the second quarter, he was scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal by Hanamichi.

The main reason why Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan did not replace Karl Malone to defend Hanamichi was that after Hanamichi's active switch, the Jazz's offensive tactics were revitalized.

In other words, the sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and Jerry Sloan felt that the pick-and-roll tactic worked again!

Now is a good time to catch up, and of course we need to maximize Karl Malone's offensive firepower. As for the defensive pressure, it is reasonable to let Antoine Carr, who just came on the court, take on the pressure!

Jerry Sloan: "Even if I can't stand it, I have to stand it!"

Antoine Kyle: “…” (You are playing Landlord here!)

Although Big Ben's one-on-one defense ability and talent are very suitable for the NBA, he is still a first-year rookie after all, and has only played in the league for less than 5 months, so he is ruthlessly beaten by the experienced Karl Malone in terms of experience.

In addition, Big Ben's understanding of the double-team tactics is not as thorough as Hanamichi's. Understanding some things is one thing, and doing them is another.

As a result, during this half of the quarter, the [Black and White Duo] also went on a killing spree on the offensive end.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll completion rate reached an astonishing 7% in this quarter.

In other words, except for a few individual wing singles where Big Ben defended or interfered with Karl Malone, the rest of the time, as long as it was a pick-and-roll, he would basically score every time.

However, the Jazz still failed to catch up with the Raptors, and the gap between the two teams even widened further!

It wasn't until halfway through the second quarter that Jerry Sloan was forced to let Karl Malone restrict the red-haired boy.

Because the hit rate of flower arrangement is really too high!

With almost 100% shooting rate, he scored 12 points in half a quarter. This offensive efficiency is much better than the pick-and-roll tactics that he is proud of.

Plus, Ben is a rookie, he can't defend you and me, so why won't I foul? Since you've fouled, then be more aggressive!

So we can see that in the second quarter, whenever Ben Wallace committed a foul, especially a hand-hitting or blocking foul, Karl Malone's touch would always be interrupted. The reason was simple - this kid was too ruthless!

Karl Malone got a lot of free throws, but the most criticized thing about the Postman this season is that his free throw shooting percentage is only 50%!

From this perspective, Ben Wallace's foul was very valuable.

In the second quarter, Ben committed a total of 3 fouls.

Antoine Carr:

"Coach, how about I also foul and restrict the opponent?"

“Pah~Shua…Shua…”

【2+1】

Antoine Kyle: "..."

The foul also depends on strength and body shape. Although Ben is a rookie, he is young and strong, and is as strong as his (master) father Oakley.

Antoine Carr, who was born on July 1961, 7 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, is 23 years old this year!

He is 206cm tall and weighs 102kg. Although he plays center at an old age, how can he compete with Hanamichi who is 214cm tall and weighs 114kg?

In fact, this is also the pain point of the Jazz and the weakness of the pick-and-roll tactics, they neglect the center position too much!

As analyzed before the game, the center position that the Jazz strengthened this season is precisely their weak point!

After scoring another dunk, Hanamichi passed by the coaching booth and trash-talked Jerry Sloan:

"You'd better find someone to defend me!"

Jerry Sloan: He trash-talked me?!

Karl Malone: ​​I actually did something I didn't dare to do. Wow! ... ahem... so brave! .

Antoine Kyle: Meow meow meow? Am I not a human or are you not speaking human language? ?

The hot-tempered old man Sloan couldn't help but spit at Antoine Carr. The floor on the sidelines was wet with saliva.

Antoine Kyle looked at Hanamichi with a look of despair:

"Brother, since I'm cooperating so well as a background board, please don't provoke our old man again!"

But soon, Antoine Kyle felt relieved because he was replaced due to his poor performance!

Greg Ostertag is back on the court.

Antoine Kyle said to Hanamichi again:

"Brother, beat him to death!"

"Don't ever pity him just because he's my teammate!"

We are all in this position, why am I the only one being scolded?

Let Greg Ostertag get scolded by the coach, too, to cheer me up!

Unfortunately, Greg Ostertag was on the court against Ben Wallace, while it was Malone who was defending the flower path.

Antoine Kyle: "..."

Jerry Sloan still has a scale in his heart. Although Greg Ostertag is regarded by him as a reinforcement to limit Olajuwon and O'Neal, judging from his performance in previous games, it is obvious that he is still a long way from these superstars.

So if he is asked to deal with Hanamichi in this game, the effect might be similar to that of Antoine Kyle - almost defenseless!

But if we don't restrict Hanamichi, I'm afraid the Jazz will be defeated by him alone.

At this time, apart from the super giant Malone, no one else can take on this important task. However, this is also the mission of the team's ace, which is to strangle the opponent's ace!

In stark contrast to the opening, it was now Karl Malone who defended Hanamichi and tried every means to prevent him from scoring.

But facing Hanamichi who is in good form, can Ma Long defend against him?

The answer is of course – no!

Because Hanamichi is not fighting alone.

He has become a super giant, and after absorbing the three cards of [Giflin], [Anthony Davis] and [Stone Buddha], he has inherited some of their abilities, and added the signature skills of Westbrook, KG, Nopech and others.

It can be said that Hanamichi has integrated the above abilities into one, and even if O'Neal comes, he cannot defend against his firepower at this moment.

Finally, Hanamichi, who is 9 on offense and 9.9 on defense, has attracted the attention of all media and fans with his super strength!

"Perhaps, the league's strongest No. 4 position now has one more option!"

"I take back my previous comments about Flower being a superstar. He is now a superstar!"

"Now he is making an impact towards the super giant."

"Maybe, all he needs to become a superstar is a Finals MVP!"

"At most three years, when Ewing, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Barkley and Michael are getting old. Sorry, I mean no disrespect!"

"But the future of the league will definitely belong to Hanamichi, O'Neal, and the up-and-coming KG!"

"Now, some of them have shown their potential to be superstars, and some have the strength to be superstars, but what they lack is a lot of honors. The incomparable desire for honors is the charm of all athletes in the NBA, a men's competitive league, showing their hormones!"

“Winner takes all!”
