NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The Jazz home fans on the sidelines watched Damon Stoudemire organize the attack.

He cut into the paint with the ball, attracted John Stockton's defense near the free throw line, and then decisively threw the ball to the outside.

And Doug Christie, who received the ball, raised his hand, aimed, and passed the ball!

Just when the Jazz players were shocked, the ball was passed to Hanamichi on the side.

Hanamichi took one step inside the free throw line and completed a [glider dunk].

The Raptors scored two more points.

Jerry Sloan of the Jazz quickly called a timeout.

There was no way out. Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Raptors beat them 7:0.

Actually, we can’t really blame our own players for these goals. After all, it’s not that they had no problems in executing the tactics.

If you want to blame someone, you really have to blame the red-haired guy across the street!

He was like an unexpected "spoiler" on the court.

Just now, he first stole the ball from Karl Malone, and then blocked a shot from Brian Russell.

The Raptors' defense was greatly strengthened because of his help from all sides.

He was like a nimble hound, running all over the court to assist in defense.

As long as the opponent reveals the slightest flaw, he can pounce on him quickly and deliver a fatal blow.

Looking back at the Jazz's two rounds of offense, their pick-and-roll tactics were actually performed quite well.

Whether it is the degree of cooperation between the players or the accuracy of tactical execution, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, what is frustrating is that every time the pick-and-roll tactics is successfully implemented and it is about to be the critical moment to end the offense and score, the No. 10 of the Raptors always appears at the most critical position at the right time, disrupting the Jazz's original perfect plan and rhythm.

"His assisting defense ability is such a threat!"

The commentators also shared the same idea as Jerry Sloan.

Bill Walton made a categorical assurance:

"I'm sure the Jazz coach must be very troubled by Flower's existence now!"

"Because of him, the Jazz lost these two possessions."

"It is also because of him that the Raptors' interior defense has improved a lot."

"Jerry Sloan would really like to take him off the court if he could!"

What Bill Walton said was absolutely correct. If possible, Jerry Sloan, who "wanted to see blood", would not mind paying a small price to let Hanamichi go home early to go fishing.

Besides, his bodyguard ~ [Bad Guy] Oakley has already ended the playoffs early, so what is there to be afraid of?

Of course, it definitely couldn't be Karl Malone who accomplished this task.

Although Jerry Sloan knew that Karl Malone would be more than happy to complete the task.

But first of all, Karl Malone himself is injured. If he loses both the wife and the soldiers, it would be a waste of time!

This is not to question Malone's business ability!

It is well known that the red-haired boy also has a pair of elbows that have successfully been used to open people's mouths.

Secondly, once Karl Malone is "courteously sent" off the court, there is an 80% chance that he will also be "courteously sent" out by the referee!

The Jazz don't want to lose a capable player like Malone at this time.

So, after simply arranging the team's next offensive rhythm, Jerry Sloan replaced Karl Malone with Greg Foster.

Greg Foster is the Jazz's backup power forward. Given his efficiency in defending Hanamichi in the first two games, he caught the eye of head coach Jerry Sloan.

With Hanamichi being the dark horse last season and rising this season, many teams in the league aiming for the championship, especially those in the Eastern Conference, are more or less considering whether the team needs to have players like Hanamichi on hand to defend them.

Just like the era of tank-type blue-collar centers started by O'Neal.

Perhaps in the near future, Hanamichi will usher in an era of powerful and flexible power forwards.

The 29-year-old Greg Foster is young and strong, and his footwork and speed in the interior are above average.

More importantly, in the last two games, he performed well in the task of defending Hanamichi after being substituted in.

Of course, this is only relative to those players who were beaten by Hanamichi.

However, this was enough to gain Jerry Sloan's trust and respect.

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the game resumed.

Amid the surprise of many spectators, the Jazz's star player Karl Malone was sitting leisurely on the bench.

"It seems that the news about Karl Malone's injury is not groundless!"

"No matter what the reason, the core of the team should not be benched just two minutes into the game."

"unless……"

"Unless it's because of his injury!"

The commentators gave their own analysis and opinions based on the facts:

"In this case, I'm afraid the Raptors really have a chance to tie the score!"

With the score at 2:1, the Raptors were trailing and the Jazz were at home.

The outside media have already changed their tune and are optimistic about the Jazz.

ESPN took the lead in adjusting the winning odds of the two teams.

The Jazz are proud of the fact that they surpassed the Raptors for the first time on this list with 57.9%.

Of course, the lead is not that big, which is also due to Karl Malone's injury.

And now, it seems that the reason for their concerns did appear in Game 4, and may even appear in the next few games.

In this way, the chances of the two teams winning the championship may change again.

It's going to change!

"What is this old fox Jerry Sloan planning?"

Raptors coach Den was confused but very cautious. He absolutely did not believe that Karl Malone's injury had worsened.

After all, in Game 3, he and the entire Raptors team were tricked.

Just in case, he pulled Ben aside and whispered something to him.
