Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 22 Two evil spirits show their power?

On the court, the Jazz attacked.

Billups still pressed the audience. According to legend, Stockton is an iron man, and he doesn't know his physical fitness. Can he hold the audience to the end?

After the pressing was over, there was another round of flanking, and then, the inside line was shrunk.

The Lakers, on the defensive end, also set up a formation, waiting for the Jazz to attack.

"It's still a pick-and-roll tactic. It's hard for me to break you. I keep passing. In the end, it's still the same tactic?"

The offensive time entered the countdown of 10 seconds. Sure enough, it was still the pick-and-roll tactics of Stockton and Malone.

On the left corner, after receiving a pass from Stockton, Malone made a two-pointer with a jumper...

"Shh-!"

Basketball, penetrate the net, and score steadily.

4 to 6! !
Utah Shuangsha both have accurate mid-range shots, and it is very difficult to defend against pick-and-rolls.

Moreover, in addition to the tacit cooperation between the two, their weaknesses are also very complementary.

Offensively, everyone has a mid-range shot. Malone can also hit the basket and has a strong low-post singles ability, while Stockton has a long-range three-point shooting ability that Malone does not have.

Layups, mid-range shots, three-pointers... Malone and Stotunk, the offensive power of their combination is naturally very incomprehensible.

And this is not counting Stockton's passing ability, and Malone's iron elbow, covering the quality of the pick-and-roll.

In addition to the 14 years of blood and sweat shed together, as long as the Jazz's Shuangsha core is still there, the lower limit of their performance will not be low.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

Billups dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and Kobe was still running without the ball, disrupting the Jazz's formation.

In this attack, the Jazz suffered from the previous losses and did not choose to defend Kobe alone.

Hornacek was still chasing and defending, and the others did not watch, and all mobilized to assist in the defense.

For example, Kobe passed by Stockton and got a small piece of blue and red on his back.

After passing by the big white bear, the route ahead will be blocked by the mountain of meat.

Malone's iron elbow is always waiting to greet Kobe.

Off-ball tactics are really not fun in this era, this kind of tactic that goes deep into the enemy camp.

The executor must be prepared to beat the dog with meat buns. Kobe's off-ball tactics are not as good as Hamilton's ten-year-old Hamilton.

Fortunately, Kobe's physical talent is there, and his style of play is not soft.

This kind of difficulty, after stumbled, still ran out of space.

Bipston gave Kobe a look and took Stockton's defense away.

Suddenly, Billups made a cold three-pointer...

It caught everyone by surprise, not to mention, the Jazz's defense, which also made three-pointers.

Swish-!
Finally, finally, Billups' three-pointer was hit by a cold arrow.

4 to 9! !
On the sidelines, Li Mu nodded, and asked Kobe to play like Hamilton, not just for running, opening, catching the ball... hastily.

His running can liven up the whole game of chess, but this style of play is not friendly to Kobe. This kind of tactics is completely using Kobe as an engineer.

It's no wonder that Billups scored a goal, and Kobe still looked cold.

Kobe has already taken off his clothes, but you tell him that the water is gone, how can he take a shower?

"The Lakers, are they still consuming the energy of the Jazz?
Why does Kobe's running look like it's activated inside and outside the line? "Mike Brin has some doubts.

"It's not about tactics, it's about shooting outside.

If the three-point attack does not make this time, the result will be different.

Maybe, Kobe and Billups fell out!
Kobe would ask: Why don't you give him the damn basketball? "The groom Albert just made fun of it and didn't take it seriously.

Off the court, Sloan didn't take it seriously, because they gave up three-point shooting long ago.

If the Lakers shoot a three-pointer, if they make a shot, they will treat it as if it does not exist, and quickly change their mood, as if Nadal hit the AES ball in tennis.

And this kind of serving and scoring is not very common. The Jazz have seen the underpants of the Lakers' three-pointers, so how could they be confused by the Lakers' makeup.

The Jazz attacked, and Stockton suppressed the rhythm.

On the court, the Lakers' lineup is very deep.

O'Neal sits in the penalty area, and Ben Wallace is a sweeper next to him.

Billups is at the front, and Kobe and Bowen are on the left and right to help defend against pincers at any time.

In the outside three-point shooting area, the Lakers also let the Jazz shoot.

This is a kind of mutual injury. You shoot me a three-pointer, and I also reciprocate.

Let everyone be a turtle and see who can come out of the sewer?
The Jazz's defense is not as "alive" as the Lakers' three-pointers.

With the Lakers defending like this, there is some element of gambling.

Because the Jazz have three-pointers, and there are also three-pointers.

Russell, Stockton and Hornacek, all three can shoot threes.

Among them, Hornacek, nicknamed "Dead Light Gun", is one of the well-known shooters in the league.

It's just a pity that the head coach Sloan held him back. In the era of CIC dominance, the conservative Sloan did not allow players to shoot three-pointers.

Just like the current head coach of the Knicks, and Jeff Van Gundy who will coach Yao Ming in the future, they all have a philosophical thinking that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.

Of course, Gang Leader Qiao also played a 'bad' role, distorting the skill points of this group of head coaches.

The three-point stunt of the "Meng Shen" in the future will also distort the entire era.

Therefore, the Lakers are ready to fight, and the Jazz still have to rush in without playing three-pointers.

Malone pulled out a high position, but Ben Wallace didn't pull it out. After covering the pick-and-roll, Stockton brought Kobe and gave Malone the ball to attack.

In the horn area on the left, Malone received the ball and raised it, and Billups rushed over to defend and interfere.

Bang-!
Close to Malone's body, Billups directly ate Malone's elbow.

This elbow was completed by Malone in a transformation attack.

Make a shooting position, wait for Billups to open his hands and approach, Malone immediately closes the ball and elbows, it is a very common action, but Billups and Malone are different in height after all, such an ordinary action is just right, Gave Billups an elbow.

"Hmph, give me an iron elbow, who told you to bully John just now, he can only be bullied by me!!"

After Ma Long felt refreshed, he took the ball and walked away.

The Sharks broke free from the great pyrenes' entanglement and rushed to defend. Malone had just done something bad, and he was afraid that O'Neal would copy his homework, so he didn't hit the basket.

In the paint area, the ball was pulled for a jump shot, and the basketball was just about to leave his fingertips.

Suddenly, a figure came out, and Ben Wallace leaped high, his body soared into the air, and his right hand was retracted behind him.

"Malone took on Billups with ease, got to the lane, shot the ball right away...

It was Big Ben, it was Big Ben who rushed out, jumped up, and made a volleyball smash in the air.

I couldn't bear to watch this scene. "

"Snapped--!"

"what--!"

I saw Daben slapping the basketball hard in the air, impartially, and the basketball hit Malone's face just right, and then let out a piercing scream, which resounded throughout the arena.

The basketball, after hitting Malone, slipped out of the sideline.

At this point, no one cares about ball possession.

Outside the arena, the fans and spectators were in an uproar, their faces were filled with shock, and they stared blankly at the scene on the court.

There are even little girls who cover their faces with their hands and look with wide eyes through the gaps between their fingers.

On the field, Stockton next to him couldn't bear to watch and turned his head away.

There was a hiss on Hornacek's face, a substituting expression.

Billups felt that the elbow pain in his chest was gone, and he walked quietly to the penalty area.

On the contrary, Great Pyrenees had a good attitude. After all, he was used to being ravaged by sharks. In a word, it was all practiced. He stepped forward and pulled Ma Long up.

At this time, Ma Long shook his head to keep himself from getting dizzy, his nose was red, and his eyes were full of tears, but he was stubborn.

Looking at Da Ben's muscular body, evil spirit, and resolute appearance, the whole person is like a bull, full of explosive power, standing straight in front of the shark, watching him quietly.

Looking at Da Ben, with his muscles, he knew that he was not easy to bully.

He is tough when he meets softness, and soft when he meets toughness, so he chose to put up with this matter.

However, he was too embarrassed, and he didn't finish this matter.

"It's okay, Carl, do you want to deal with it?" The referee appeared in time to inquire about the injury, and gave Malone a step down.

Coach Sloan immediately called a short timeout. While dealing with Malone's "injury", he also wanted to solve the Lakers' off-ball tactics.

Kobe's running is like a shit stick, making their defense unable to grab the key points, and they feel a little overwhelmed.

Ok?
Something doesn't feel right!

Don't know where?

Still think about how to solve the tactical problems of the Lakers. As for Malone's 'injury'?
He hasn't seen Ma Long suffer a loss yet, so he doesn't need to worry about it. It's the opponent who should be worried.

Utah Shuangsha's reputation in the league is not "clean". Why are they called Shuangsha instead of Shuangxia.

The league has Batman because Pippen guards the basket god.

The future Flash Wade, because of lightning speed.

There are also the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust, because of the great health care.

Malone and Stockton were called "Shuangsha". Just by their nicknames, you know they are not good birds.

It is said that there are only bad real names, not bad flower names.

Stockton's physical talent is not good, and if he wants to defend well, he can only make small moves.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how dirty it is, as long as the referee can't see it.

The same is true for Malone. He knows that Iron Elbow is one of the main courses in every game.

There are a large group of star players he has elbowed.

For example, it takes 2 minutes for the Admiral of the Sea to fall to the ground.

The smiling assassin had more than 40 stitches.

Jordan fell to the ground, bleeding all over his face.

Grant's teeth shattered to the ground.

All the superstars have elbows, and the number of elbows by unknown players is estimated to be countless.

On the coaching bench of the Lakers, Li Mu was already thinking about whether to replace Ben Wallace, but seeing Da Ben's resolute eyes and bulging muscles, he felt that he was overthinking.

Big Ben is a predator, not much worse than Malone. Legend has it that the power bench press is the ceiling of the league.

Fighting is also good, and even the hot-tempered Artest would rather beat up fans outside the court than fight Daben.

It is indeed a pity.
