Chapter 147: G3! Jazz's unsolvable offense!
Delta Center Arena, Utah!
This is the famous home of the devil! It's home to some of the most fervent fans in the country!
Fans wore light gray-blue short sleeves and chanted! Their team lost two games to the Lakers!
0:2 behind!
Once this game loses at home, 0:3, then the series is over!
And if you can defend the two home games, drag the game to 2:2, and play the battle of Tianwang Mountain, then everything is difficult to say.
Many teams that started 2-0 were overturned from the first away game.
Even the Lakers players who were still in the locker room preparing for the game heard the shouts. These Jazz fans are close to madness!
"Jazz this game! There is bound to be a big shift! Harris drew in circles on the board.
"No matter how they change their formation or change their tactics, we stick to our routine!"
"First half! Kobe Bryant breaks through the ball! Everyone must play as a team, and the pitchers try to hit a lot of three-pointers to open the score! ”
"In the second half, Kobe Bryant and Shaq will take over the game if they feel good!"
"Adapt to change!"
As the leading side, Harris certainly won't mess around, all he has to do is wait for the Jazz to change.
Looking at the Jazz's tactical strategy clearly, it doesn't matter much if it is pulled back by a game. Harris still has Wang Bang in his hand and didn't fight! All it takes to play this game is to see Jerry Sloan's hole cards.
Then, at the most opportune moment, adjust your tactics! One Hit Deadly, Harvest Series!
...
"The starting lists of both sides are out!"
"Jazz Change! Starting point guard – Stockton, shooting guard – Richmond, small forward – Russell, power forward – Chris Morris, center – Karl Malone!! ”
"Karl Malone is in the center of the position!"
"The number one striker in the world! Change his playing position! He will face the big shark O'Neill in the center position! ”
"The rigid Jerry Sloan has made a very amazing change!"
"Power forward Chris Morris is the No. 4 pick in '88, a 2.03-meter forward at the peak of 15+5! Using him to defend Horry will be better than Malone! ”
"On the other side, can Malone defend against O'Neal?"
"Or maybe they don't have any intention of defending! The Jazz want to make a desperate bet and have the OK Lakers based on offense alone! ”
Don't guard against O'Neill?
That's impossible, the offense under the basket is not as good as the outside, if you really don't defend O'Neal, then O'Neal can hit 60+ with a shooting rate of more than 80%!
Jerry Sloan gave up the bag clip on Kobe!
The ensuing defensive strategy is to trap O'Neal!
In desperation, Jerry Sloan finally gave up on Kobe's defensive arrangement, because he found that no matter how he arranged, there was still no way to contain Kobe.
If Sloan had a Payton and Garnett on his hands, maybe he could try to trap Kobe.
And now Richmond's physical strength can't support his continued performance on the offensive and defensive ends, and Russell was beaten through again in the face of Kobe!
Case!
Then fight the attack!
Wrap O'Neill!
Put Malone in the center and let Richmond and Malone play the pick-and-roll tactic that the big sharks are least willing to defend!
The open space for attack will be amazing!
In the first battle against the bombardment, the Jazz lost!
And this Jazz, who has a home bonus, must win!
...
"Three points! Malone pulls outside the three-point line! O'Neill, on the other hand, hesitated and didn't know whether to save or shrink the defense! Ma Long directly crossed Yang in three hundred steps! ”
"That's accurate! Malone made 6 of 8 three-pointers in this game! In such a critical situation as G3, the postman broke out today! His projection completely broke down O'Neal's defense! ”
"When Popovich developed a strategy against the Lakers' defense, the combination of a short point guard + a projection center became popular! This is the best way to deal with the big sharks that have no solution! And when Malone appears in the center position, then he is the strongest pitcher in this position! ”
"I'll give you a lung!" O'Neill vomited!
You're a big forward! Running to play center? Still pulling outside the three-point line to shoot?
If you don't talk about martial arts, you won't win martial arts!
The two-man rotation of Richmond and Malone is still the Jazz's main offensive tool, followed by Malone from outside the three-point line to create space for the pitcher.
And for any kind of offense, Malone is almost in a state where no one is defending!
O'Neill has lost his ability to defend outside the box after gaining weight. When O'Neal gained weight, his explosiveness and speed were maintained, but his lateral speed is now almost the weakest gear in professional basketball!
There is a high probability that such a lateral movement will be pulled to the outside line, and it will be passed in one step! He will be the backdrop of the defenders, proud as a shark, how can he tolerate his glorious image being affected.
Shrinking defense is a must! In this life, it is impossible to pull the outside defensive guard and change the defense to block and dismantle!
So O'Neill became Malone's best target.
In the last season, Malone Malone has increased his three-point shooting, as the strongest shooter in the power forward position, after two seasons of training, his three-point shooting has gradually improved!
He shot 1.8 goals on 36.1 percent shooting in the regular season, and in the playoffs, he averaged 2.4 goals per game on 40.2 percent shooting against a tighter defense!
That's a staggering number! Especially considering he's still an inside player!
Pulling out to shoot three-pointers, this is a point that Malone has been criticized by very multimedia commentators this season. In their opinion, the big forward should rush to the inside to fight hand-to-hand! That's a real man!
This is also the reason why Malone is so far behind in the MVP selection this season. The second most won games in the league and the fifth MVP in the end, which is something that Malone can't figure out.
And in this game, the doubts about Ma Long's three-point shooting were almost completely dispelled!
End of the third quarter! The Jazz have scored 107 points under Malone! Malone scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the third quarter! Richmond scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists!
Cast!
The Lakers were almost killed by the Jazz!
When O'Neal shrinks the basket, Bowen has to choose between defending Richmond or switching to Malone!
And as Hall of Fame-caliber players, Malone and Richmond will either find open people to complete the offense!
Or take the opportunity to single Bowen!
Can't prevent it! After Malone played center, this Jazz team really played a historic level of unsolvable offense! This is also Stockton was sealed by Kobe, if it weren't for that, the Jazz would now be moving towards the highest single-game score in the playoffs!
The Lakers scored only 91 points!
16 points difference! Enter the fourth quarter!
