Chapter 147: True Center Peerless

At halftime, the Lakers kept the deficit of 10 points to the end, Liu Han brushed up two blocks and an assist in just two minutes of cameo center, and also scored two points on the single Malone.

At halftime, Jerry Sloan expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance in the first half, the Lakers' current situation is obvious, it is the iron speed, and the Jazz players have never been able to take the game as seriously as in the playoffs, so they look a little chaotic under the Lakers' continuous onslaught.

Jerry Sloan now has no good way to treat the Lakers except for teaching the players, because the Lakers' tactics are really too extreme, and the extreme is so extreme that no team can find five players who can compete with the Lakers, and even if they do, they can't find players who can compete with the Lakers' outside firepower.

The second half continued, the Lakers were still the lineup before halftime, and Liu Han still set his sights on Malone after he came on the court.

In the third quarter, the Lakers served first. Nash quickly advanced to the front court after receiving the baseline serve, Liu Han mentioned that the outside line covered Nash, his covering posture is very professional, except for the height looks shorter, he looks like a professional center in all aspects.

However, Liu Han's cover quality is not high, his body is strong enough but not wide enough, so Howard Ellis easily bypassed Liu Han and continued to chase Nash, but at this time Liu Han did not hit the inside again, but stopped at the top of the arc, Nash handed the ball to Liu Han with a back pass, Liu Han was in front of Ma Long, which was a small and big dislocation.

Ma Long is the top level of interior players in the league in terms of strength and agility, but no matter how top he is, he can't catch up with Liu Han's 11 seconds of 100 meters and more than 4 seconds of 30 meters.

Facing Ma Long, Liu Han dribbled the ball under his right crotch, and after receiving the ball with his left hand, he suddenly changed his speed and broke through to the right side. But Liu Han changed direction with his right hand again, and the emergency stop change direction in the high speed was a very difficult action to do, and Liu Han's change of direction again made Ma Long completely lose his center of gravity, after all, his height was there.

Liu Han shook down Malone and then easily shot and hit two points. The gap was widened to 12 points.

There has been a change in the hearts of the Jazz players, and they feel a little sad that Liu Han has so easily knocked down the best player on his team, many of whom have been with the Jazz for several years and are hoping to win a championship, but now it seems impossible.

The Jazz made a mistake on the next offense, and Howard Ellis was slightly off the side of the ball when he passed to Hornacek, and Eddie Jones had a chance to cut the ball, but he suddenly slipped under his foot and only touched the ball.

The ball was changed direction by Eddie Jones and rolled towards the Jazz halfcourt, Ellis quickly caught up with the basketball, and they only had 4 seconds left to attack.

Malone quickly grabbed the position and prepared to take advantage of the Lakers' lack of interior height to grab this rebound, Liu Han was not to be outdone and tightly entangled with Malone.

When the ball fell, Ma Long and Liu Han jumped quickly, but Ma Long found that his bullet speed was much slower than Liu Han, Liu Han's jump was a little hasty this time, and Ma Long was by his side, he couldn't completely grab the ball, so he gently picked up the ball in the air.

After Malone landed, he found that Liu Han failed to control the ball, so he planned to jump again to grab the rebound, but he found that Liu Han was already rising when he was ready to jump, and his bounce speed and ability to bounce many times were completely abused by Liu Han.

After Liu Han grabbed the rebound, he found that his teammate Ray Allen had run past half court, he launched a long pass again, Ray Allen received the ball very comfortably, and in the face of the Jazz team who had no one to defend, Ray Allen easily completed the dunk.

Liu Han showed strength after the start of the game like a top interior player.

The Lakers continued to attack, Liu Han once again and Nash and teammate Eddie Jones completed the cooperation, Eddie Jones and Liu Han gave Nash double cover, Nash bypassed the cover and hit the ground to the diagonal Eddie Jones, Eddie Jones's diagonal insertion attracted the Jazz's interior defense, but he did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball again to Liu Han, who was still on the outside, Liu Han easily hit three points after receiving the ball.

Liu Han's performance on the inside made some of the Jazz players almost ignore the fact that this guy is still the three-point king.

The Jazz were helpless in the face of the score that was pulled apart.

In the third quarter, Liu Han played the whole quarter, although Malone grabbed a few frontcourt rebounds, Liu Han still completed his task very well, and he also played a big role in the offense, because as long as he pulled the outside line, the Jazz team's interior line must be completely empty, otherwise Liu Han will use his three points to show the opponent that it is powerful.

Liu Han grabbed seven rebounds and four assists in the third quarter, and he also scored nine points of his own.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han was substituted for a short rest, and the Lakers continued their small-ball tactics.

When Jerry Sloan saw Liu Han go down, he immediately sent Malone, who had only rested for less than 5 minutes, and under the leadership of Ma Long, the Jazz narrowed the gap to 9 points again in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter.

George Crent only sent Liu Han on the field again at this time, and Liu Han, who had still rested for almost ten minutes, basically recovered his strength, and he faced Ma Long as soon as he came on the field.

The Jazz team attacked, and Malone singled Liu Han with two steps outside the three-second zone.

Liu Han clinged to Ma Long tightly, this is the defensive tactic he first learned, and the kraft candy-like defensive style makes the defending players very annoying.

Ma Long tried to squeeze Liu Han away with his strength, but he found that his physical strength had dropped a lot, and there was no way to squeeze Liu Han away like he did at the beginning. So Malone had to shake like a center and then hook up.

Liu Han jumped quickly after seeing Ma Long's hook hand, his bullet speed has changed dramatically after being strengthened by the holiday training camp, Ma Long's shot was a little flat, and Liu Han buckled the ball as heavily as a volleyball when the ball was about to reach the highest point.

Jazz fans on the sidelines were stunned by the ball, if the ball was covered by a top center like O'Neal or Olajuwon, they could accept it, but it was Liu Han, who was only 1.96 meters tall, who blocked the ball.

Nash's reaction was quick, and he pounced on the basketball as soon as possible.

Liu Han ran quickly towards the Jazz half court again after covering the risk. The Jazz woke up as quickly as they woke up, but their speed of defense was nowhere near as fast as the Lakers' counter-attack.

In the backcourt of the Jazz, the Lakers formed a three-on-one. After Nash dribbled the ball into the three-point line, he threw the ball towards the rebound, and Liu Han followed closely behind Nash, and he understood Nash's intentions.

Liu Han flew into the air like a scimitar after stepping into the three-second zone, the ball just bounced back, Liu Han received the ball, his body completely pulled away, he received the ball behind his head, and then smashed the ball into the basket like a big axe.

A violent dunk like a tiger descending a mountain made the Jazz completely lose confidence.

In the next game, the Lakers took full control of the game in their own hands, and Liu Han grabbed 8 rebounds in the fourth quarter like a god.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz by 18 points 110-92, and Liu Han scored a triple-double of 27 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists. (To be continued.) )
