The game between the Lakers and the Jazz reached the fourth quarter.

Lakers 81:73 Jazz.

When Karl Malone crushed Robert Horry again, and broke into the basket strongly, after the overlord stepped to the basket to make a layup to cause 2+1, Horry made six fouls!

Six fouls, Horry is off. Harris opted for a timeout.

"Here's your chance." The corners of Jerry Sloan's mouth are slightly hooked, Horry is the absolute axis of the Lakers' offensive system, the third core in addition to Kobe and O'Neal. His long-range shooting can open up space and pull Karl Malone to the perimeter, and his passing organization can act as a pivot that will bring the Lakers closer together. It can be said that without Horry, the Lakers' offensive system collapsed directly.

Harris understands this as well, but is there any other way? All the players on the Lakers court are a natural misalignment. It's impossible to let Kobe Bryant go to top Malone again, right? It would have been enough for that to happen once, and now is a critical period to hit 70 wins, preparing for the final games of the playoffs, and if Kobe Bryant is injured like he did at the beginning of the season, then all the advantages accumulated in the early part of the season will be wiped out, and O'Neal will be isolated in the playoffs.

So even knowing that the consequence of letting Horry play was that Malone turned on the super god mode, and was even knocked down and six fouls were played. Harris still kept Horry on the court. Because of this, the Lakers have always had the advantage on the offensive end and the situation on the court! At the same time, the core of the Lakers' OK is relatively relaxed.

The difference between the Lakers and the Jazz has been stretched to 8 points! For a strong team, 8 points means a very big lead. And Kobe and O'Neal's physical consumption is not high, at the last moment, even if the team's offensive system collapses, Kobe and O'Neal can still use superstars to take over the game!

"Robert, you're doing a great job." Harris patted Horry on the shoulder, his jersey covered in sweat. It's not easy, it's really not easy to defend Malone.

"Big Ben, next, I'll leave it to you." Horry high-fived Ben Wallace.

The Lakers' strongest offensive system collapsed, and Harris was immediately replaced. Big Ben replaces Horry, and Bowen replaces Curry Sr. Return to the defensive system at the beginning of the game, the superstar system.

Hold! Hold on to the 8-point difference!

With 11 minutes left in the game, as long as you can maintain a consistent attacking efficiency. To a certain extent, to curb Karl Malone, who has already played HIGH, then the victory of the game ultimately belongs to the Lakers!

Malone has gone crazy in this game! He shot 15-of-26 from the field and 11-of-14 from the free-throw line to finish with 41 points, eight rebounds and six assists. This game is obviously going for 50+! The excellent mid-range shooting touch, coupled with Horry's complete inability to defend Malone from the basket, made Malone feel like a fish in water and perfectly played his best ability.

And an MVP-caliber superstar opens up, and the impact is terrifying. That's why the Jazz were able to hold on tightly.

And now Ben Wallace's task is to go on the field and strangle that man!

Harris didn't expect Big Ben to be able to do this task, after all, there really can't be a player in the league who can strangle Malone, and he is an inexplicable presence in the power forward position.

But when Big Ben came on the court with the fierce aura of a wild beast, Harris felt as if he had miscalculated the potential of this undrafted draft all along...

"Big hat! Ben Wallace pressed Karl Malone to the ground alive with the ball! Big Ben is roaring at Malone! His face was full of murder! Want to score! That's shark for you! ”

"It's kind of scary, I've only seen the pressure of this defense in a hard-nosed Pistons player like Rodman Lambir, and Ben Wallace now gives us the same feeling!"

Marlon got up from the ground! Straight to the big book! He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry! Two strong men nose to nose, eye to eye! Mouth non-stop swearing! ”

"Stockton pulled Malone, he didn't want the team's number one big man to have a conflict with an insignificant role player on the other side at this time!"

"The referee blew the whistle and gave Malone and Big Ben a warning."

"Cut." O'Neal reluctantly complained that the Jazz's home whistle in this game was really a bit serious.

"The game continues!" The referee blows the whistle.

Next, it's time for Kobe Bryant to make a move.

The Lakers' lineup is the individual offensive ability of the hard star, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal must have one to step up, and O'Neal is very small in the interior space. Then the next thing is Kobe Bryant alone against the Jazz team!

Except for the beginning of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant played more fiercely, and in this game, Kobe Bryant was integrated into the team's overall offense, and his physical consumption was very low. On the defensive end, in particular, Harris also assigned the easiest defender, Brian Russell, to defend himself.

O'Neal consumes a lot of energy in hand-to-hand combat on the inside, and Malone carries the team alone, and he is the most tired player on the court. Stockton has been hunted down by Bowen or Eddie Jones, and as a white man, his physical exertion is also huge.

It can be said that among the current stars on the court, Kobe Bryant is the one with the most physical fitness! It's all thanks to Harris's brilliant tactical moves, and Bryant knows that Harris crushed Sloan in this game. Crushed in all directions, Sloane had no room to fight back.

Since Harris has created such good conditions for Kobe, then of course Kobe Bryant will not miss it in vain!

Turn on takeover mode directly!

"Kobe Bryant with the ball! With 11 minutes left in the game, the Lakers 83:76 Jazz! After Robert Horry fouled the game in six, the Lakers' lineup had a very big rotation adjustment, and Big Ben's defense gave a heavy blow to the somewhat lax Malone! Let him understand that Big Ben's defense is not something that Horry can easily win! But Ma Long, who has adjusted, I think he can still find a way to score in the face of Big Ben, and a single defense can never kill a superstar. ”

"Kobe Bryant faced Russell's defense, he called an ISO! The Lakers pulled away from the four, including Shak, to the other side, but the Jazz's two interior lines, Ostertag and Karl Malone, were still squatting in the restricted area! Squatting defense awaits Kobe's offense! Always ready to help defend, which is very suitable for the Lakers' lineup, because O'Neal and Big Ben are pulled away, but they are no threat outside the restricted area. ”

"There are very few roads in front of Kobe, at least breaking through this one of the technical moves that Kobe Bryant is very good at, the Jazz can completely block it. And blocking and splitting the ball is not realistic, O'Neal and Big Ben can only go down after blocking and dismantling, and how to go down, the Jazz's restricted area is full of people. ”

"What will Kobe Bryant do? I'm looking forward to it! Magic's tone was not only not worried about Kobe, but was eager to try.
