"This, this game was really played by our team?"

"It's unbelievable that we've really withstood the Jazz's offense?"

"It's incredible, it's incredible, the Jazz don't look as strong as they thought they were."

Although due to the needs of the commercialization of the NBA, since David Stern came to power, the rules of the NBA have been constantly adjusted, in order to make the game more smooth and beautiful, in the NBA, the degree and technology have become more and more important, and this directly leads to the fact that the interior players who once dominated the NBA are now slowly losing their dominance.

Even when Jordan showed up and led the Bulls to a three-game winning streak without a single center and shouting the end of the era of dominating the NBA from the inside, many people couldn't even argue with it.

However, even now that outside players and outside play are becoming more and more popular, another iron rule of the NBA is still very effective, that is, the NBA is a long-term sport, at least for the time being, interior players still occupy an extremely important role in the current NBA, and teams that want to win purely by relying on outside play are still not there, even Jordan can't explain why he always swings abnormally when he meets Olajuwon.

Therefore, when the third game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers started at the Trail Blazers Memorial Arena, when this game wanted to prove that they could suppress the Trail Blazers on the offensive end and rhythm, the Jazz began to attack the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. Even the Trail Blazers fans, who still had confidence in their team in this game, were stunned by the situation on the scene for a while.

In this game, the Jazz team did not have any tactical or formation changes, the center is still PJ, Brown, the big forward is still Malone, the small forward is still Russell, and the two guards are still Linham and Stockton. At the beginning of the game, the Jazz seemed to prove that they could control the rhythm of the game, or that Jerry Sloan began to prove that he was capable of it to those who said that he lacked coaching ability in recent times, so in order to be able to prove it, when the Trail Blazers' three interior lines completely occupied the entire paint area, the Jazz's three leading players, Malone and Linham, and Stockton, under the command of head coach Jerry Sloan, continued to attack the Trail Blazers.

Although after the game started, the Jazz did control the scene. With the strong strength of Lin Han and Ma Long, the Jazz did suppress the Trail Blazers when they attacked, but it was obvious. Although the Trail Blazers game was suppressed at the beginning, when Malone continued to attack again and again under the sandwich of two fingers and three people, the Jazz soon felt a little unsustainable, and finally the first quarter of the game was not over. The Jazz are already struggling to survive.

And Jerry Sloan, who originally wanted to control the situation in this game, quickly appeared. If he can't break the Trailblazers' three-inside tactics, even if he lets Malone attack the opponent's inside, even if he lets Lin Han make crazy strong shots outside to open up space for Ma Long, the final result is still unable to defeat the Trailblazers' three-inside position, and the final result is that although they struggled at the beginning of this game, they still lost the rhythm of the game in the end!

"There's no doubt that Jerry Sloan still hasn't been able to make the right decision in this game"

When the game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers began, the Jazz forcibly let Lin Han and Malone use their individual talents to suppress the Trail Blazers for a period of time after the opening and then fell into passivity again. At this time, Larry Bird, the on-site commentator sitting on the sidelines, had a very ugly face.

Although he is not a professional head coach, is it really that difficult to break down the three-inside strategy? He didn't know what Jerry Sloan was thinking. At the very least, he knows that if he is the head coach of the Jazz, then he can easily break the Trail Blazers' three-interior strategy.

In fact, at the very least, Larry Bird knows that if the Trail Blazers still want to bully people with their team's three All-Star interior lines, then he directly pushed Malone to the center position, pushed Lin Han to the power forward position, and replaced the team's scoring guard with Elliott.

Although it is said that for the Jazz's run-and-shoot style and the characteristics of the strong offensive ability of the interior line, the three interior lines can indeed restrain the Jazz, but as long as they can play the degree and perimeter shooting that the Jazz want, the Jazz can also restrain the Trail Blazers, just like the Spurs were restrained by the Warriors although the Spurs lost two consecutive home games in the playoffs, as long as the Spurs can control the rebounding ball in their own hands, the Spurs can also restrain the Warriors who are not very good inside.

It's just obvious that the old Nelson is a madman, so he dares to play one big and four small in the face of the Spurs, and the big inside line is actually Chris Webber, although this approach is very risky because as long as Chris Webber is blown up, the Warriors will really kneel, but in the end, because of Rodman's downturn, the Warriors won.

Even the Warriors, a team that is not as good as the Jazz in terms of interior staffing, dare to play crazy when facing a team with a dominant interior line, and the Jazz and Jerry Sloan are still so conservative, which is unbelievable, if it weren't for the fact that the Trail Blazers outside players really didn't have a player who could compete with Lin Han, I'm afraid the Jazz would not even be so easy to pass the first round.

Judging from the table of both sides in the first quarter, the Trailblazers, who had long been prepared for the Jazz's strong attack, did not have any chaotic feeling when the Jazz attacked, this was like a wooden mallet to smash the stone door, no matter how hard the mallet was, it was still a wooden mallet, and the Jazz was like this, when they did not make any changes in tactics, Malone or Lin Han's strong attack was a wooden mallet to smash the stone door, no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to really smash it open.

"Well, the Jazz really need to find a way to deal with the Trail Blazers' kind of defense right now, and it's a good idea to look at it now. The Trail Blazers are ready to fight back, and the Jazz can't open on the offensive end, and I'm afraid there will be some problems on the defensive end. Jerry Sloan's set-up for this game is really a bit forward-looking."

After Larry Bird finished speaking, Collins on the side also frowned and said, the former Bulls head coach also saw the extremely embarrassing situation of the Jazz at this time, if the Jazz team has no way to smash the Trail Blazers' interior turtle shell, this Jazz will still be very difficult to win this game, and unlike the last game, the Trail Blazers' preparation in this game looks more sufficient. Especially when Larry Bird and Collins saw Trail Blazers guard Terry Porter start to slowly attack Linham, these two knew what the Trail Blazers wanted to do in this game.

And for the Jazz players, it's even more disadvantageous. At this time, the enthusiasm of the Trail Blazers fans on the sidelines was extremely high when the team was slowly taking the initiative in the game, and this could also stimulate these players of the Trail Blazers.

At least Paul Allen, the Trail Blazers owner in the stands at this time, was really stimulated, and the Trail Blazers owner, who had a somewhat unsightly face before the game, also looked much better at this time.

"Boss. It seems that Callesimo does still have a way."

When watching the Jazz players on the court get a little blocked in the Trail Blazers' three-interior tactical support. Facing the smiling assistant, Paul Allen also smiled and nodded, although Callesimo played a mess in the regular season after replacing Adelman as the team's head coach this season, but in terms of coaching level, it is really not bad.

Of course, if Callesimo knew that he had been recognized in the hearts of his boss at this time, the head coach of the Trail Blazers would be even more excited, although he was already very excited at this time.

"Terry. Press it up and don't hesitate. Suddenly, suddenly! ”

When Karl Malone blocked and dismantled with Stockton, in the face of Thorpe's defense and Robinson's co-defense, he missed the rebound and was grabbed by the Trail Blazers to attack, facing the team's guard Terry Porter, who was holding the ball on the court, Callesimo also shouted wildly.

The two most important steps for the Trail Blazers to win this game are that the first step is to resist the Jazz's opening attack, which the Trail Blazers did, and the other step is to be able to give the Jazz more threat and damage on the offensive end, and the most important point is to make Lin Han unable to get the possibility of taking care of both offensive and defensive ends, in the case of Malone's offense, Lin Han needs to take more responsibility on the offensive end, then Terry Porter will consume Lin Han on the defensive end, There is no way for Lin Han to devote all his energy to the team's attack.

When the first step of the Trail Blazers was completed, Callesimo was indeed full of confidence at this time.

After the start of this game, the Jazz team played very depressed, which can be seen from the expressions of the Jazz players on the court now, Lin Han quickly retreated after the failure of Malone's offense, and at this time the Trail Blazers' guard Terry Porter also went directly to his side to kill quickly, and the previous two games The Trail Blazers deliberately bet on the rhythm, even if it is a fast offensive opportunity, it is not different, after the start of this game, the Trail Blazers do not seem to insist on playing for 24 seconds, Maybe the other Trail Blazers players are still like that, but not with Terry Porter.

Lin Han already remembered that this player, who was not very strong in the first two games, has been deliberately attacking him in the recent period.

And no matter how many times Terry Bird failed before, this guy still attacks him whenever he has the opportunity, which makes Lin Han a little speechless, after all, even the most stupid players know what the Trail Blazers are going to do at this time, this team wants to consume itself on the defensive end, not only can reduce its contribution on the offensive end, but also can not have the energy to help defend other players after being dragged by Terry Porter.

The Trail Blazers' plan is actually very good, and Terry Porter's strength is indeed very strong, and the Trail Blazers scoring guard has become much more difficult to defend after the offense has been strengthened in this game.

"Old fellow, I'm not going to be able to defeat that easily!"

In the face of Terry Porter's fast break, he ignored other teammates and kept killing under the basket, while Lin Han could only follow on the side, not daring to foul lightly, at this time, in the crazy shouts of the Trail Blazers fans in the audience, Terry Porter's degree was getting faster and faster. At this time, the Trail Blazers and Jazz players on the court could almost only watch the showdown between the fast break and the defensive fast break staged by Triport and Lin Han in the first quarter!

Although Lin Han is young, he has been in the NBA for a year, and he has a certain understanding of many players in the NBA. In terms of degree, Terry Porter is not a very anxious player, after all, he is not so young, but this guy is indeed very difficult to defend, because this guy is a left-handed player, if it is only a left-handed player Lin Han can also have a way, the key is that his right hand is no worse than his left hand. For a lot of players who play breakaways, most of them are used to going to the side, so it's easy to defend them. In the face of those players who go to the side, it is good to hold the direction they are used to breaking through and let them take the non-accustomed position, but it is really nerve-wracking to face this player who can only cut left and right at the same time, even if Lin Han can lock the player. Because even if Lin Han can really be locked. But when the offensive player can instantly turn his right hand into a left hand or a left hand into a right hand, Lin Han's body can't keep up, just like Lin Han's failure to lock Hardaway in the All-Star Game, Hardaway's passing can be fake, and Terry Porter's left-hand switch can also be fake.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Han very wisely raised the level of omnipresence before the start of this game, doubling his defensive reflexes, this game would not only be difficult for the Jazz. Lin Han is probably also very difficult.

Terry Porter is a very good two-way guard, and all Portland fans know that. Trail Blazers head coach Calesimo on the sidelines also knows that if it weren't for Terry Port's age, it would be difficult to maintain such an intense breakthrough and physical confrontation throughout the game, then the Trail Blazers' winning rate in this game would be even greater.

In order to be able to make Lin Han have scruples on the offensive end, Callesimo almost did not hesitate, and directly let Triport go all out in the first quarter, directly give Lin Han a dismissal, or directly let Lin Han be beaten on the defensive end, so that the future game of the Trail Blazers will be better.

It's just that the first few tentative attacks of Terry Porter were defended by Linham, which surprised the head coach of the Trail Blazers.

"No matter how many times you defend Terry in front, this time, you will never succeed!"

Looking at Tripter, who had already dribbled to the basket with Lin Han's right hand flying on his left on the court, Callesimo on the sidelines almost trembled with excitement at this time, especially when he saw that Terry Porter was getting closer and closer to the basket and was ready to start to make a layup.

Not to mention Callesimo, his whole body was excited at this time, and even the Trail Blazers fans on the sidelines at this time also stood up when they saw that Triport was about to beat Lin Han for the first time in this game.

And just as these people imagined, when he reached the range of his offense, Terry Potter almost didn't hesitate and jumped up directly, and when Lin Han, who was on his left, saw Tripter jump up and stretch out his right hand for a layup, he also jumped up.

"I've got to score this one!"

Terry Porter, who was already flying in the air, felt Lin Han's body collide with him at this time, the Trail Blazers' All-Star guard made a move that almost made everyone on the scene crazy under the exclamation of the fans, the guard who was slightly out of balance because of the physical confrontation with Lin Han in the air was originally prepared for the layup of his right hand in the face of Lin Han's side slowly approaching the left hand, the Trail Blazers guard actually shook his right wrist to the left when he was about to be blocked by Lin Han, almost instantly, The Trail Blazers guard dodged Limhan's upcoming block, and when the basketball appeared on the guard's left hand, the guard gently sent the basketball on his left hand to the basket almost the moment he threw it out, and when he sent the basketball out, the Trail Blazers guard also fell out.

This is a very wonderful air dodge, Terry Porter has almost used all his abilities, it can be seen that the defender of the Trailblazers is extremely jealous of Lin Han's defensive ability, especially Lin Han's terrifying prediction ability, so whether it is a breakthrough or an offense in this game, his feints are innumerable, and the frequency is so fast that Lin Han is shocked, and this time Triport's actions have reached the peak of the peak.

So Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, who had been standing and directing not long after the game started on the sidelines, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, let alone Jerry Sloan. Even if the other two players on the field had the same expressions, they really didn't expect a 31-year-old veteran to make such a move that Jordan might not be able to do easily under the pressure of Lin Han.

So, while Terry Porter, who was flying in the air and losing his balance, was about to fall hard, he saw the basketball that he threw out slowly rising and flying towards the basket. The Trail Blazers guard even had a smile on his face.

However, at the moment when a smile appeared on Terry Port's face, when he saw Lin Han, who had been deceived by him, slap his left hand that had just failed to block in the air behind him, the Trailblazers defender, who was already full of a winning smile, shrank his eyes, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

And when there was a snap, the Trailblazers fans and everyone on the scene saw Lin Han slamming the basketball behind him with his failed left hand, at this time, the scene almost changed from extreme fanaticism to extreme silence in an instant.

Even at this time, Paul Allen and Callesimo were already celebrating the victory, and the excitement and smiles on their faces were also frozen at this time. Almost all of them looked at the Jazz Eight flying in the air in disbelief, until Lin Han and Terry Porter both lost their balance in the air and fell to the ground, and the basketball shot by Lin Han flew into the hands of Stockton, who was defending back. The scene turned into an uproar again.

"Oh my God, was I dreaming? There's no way for Terry to score from Linhan's hands with such an offense? ”

"Lin Han, have you seen the blocking rate just now? How could he have been able to block twice in a row in such a short period of time, and in different directions? ”

"He's incredible, it's impossible for a defensive pioneer like Lin Han to have a player break through now, right?!"

After both Lynham and Terry Potter fell off the ground. At this time, the fans on the sidelines simply did not pay attention to the Jazz team who attacked again. Instead, all eyes were on Lin Han and Terry Porter, who fell in the backcourt.

Especially at this time, when Terry Porter's still incredulous and dead face appeared on the big screen at the scene, the Trail Blazers fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Even Collins and Larry Bird, who were on the sidelines, were stunned when they looked at the almost broken Terry Porter on the big screen at this time.

That kind of offense can't break through Lin Han's defense? This is definitely a huge blow to the Trail Blazers, who are now in the ascendancy, especially for Terry Port.

So Collins and Larry Bird, who had just criticized Jerry Sloan, both looked at each other at this time, and they all smiled bitterly.

And at this time, Lin Han, who fell to the ground and slowly got up from the ground, also showed a wry smile on his face at this time, just when Terry Porter made a right-handed layup, the lock-on defense clearly predicted that this guy was a right-handed layup, but in the end, after Lin Han made a blocking action, this guy still completed a very change. Just like Hardaway did on the All-Star, if it weren't for Lynham's block rate with a 3o% bonus. This time he and Terry Porter's heads-up was definitely a loser.

So after getting up from the ground, he looked at the Trailblazers guard who was still lying motionless on the ground not far away, his eyes were round and his body was even trembling a little, Lin Han was also a little admired, this guy was really powerful, otherwise he would not be able to be called the Trailblazer with Drexler at the peak of the year.

And when Lin Han stood up from the ground, the Jazz team that attacked again at this time scored 2 points under the strong burst of Ma Long, and it was obvious that the Trail Blazers players were affected by Lin Han's defense just now.

Not to mention that these Trail Blazers players on the court were a little dazed at this time, even the Trail Blazers head coach Callesimo on the sidelines was in a dizzy state for a long time, and the young head coach did not come to his senses until after the end of the first quarter when the players on both sides came off the court.

"I have to admit that many people think that it is not an exaggeration for him to enter the defensive lineup, and in the NBA, except for a few people, few people can do better than Lin Han in this area of defense."

"Although Jerry Sloan's tactical table for this game is still a problem, you have to say that he has a good group of players and this group of players can really bring him victory"

When Larry Bird finished the first quarter, players from both sides came off the court. Looking at the score of 24-2o on the sidelines, he also shook his head helplessly, the momentum of the pioneers just now had risen. The score was out, but in the end, when Lin Han's almost impossible defense appeared, the morale of the entire Trail Blazers collapsed almost instantly.

Because all the Trail Blazers players know that if Terry Porter can't score points in front of Lynham, then no matter how hard they try to limit Malone and Jazz's scoring, they won't be able to win. It is very likely that they will still be scoreless in this game, and it will naturally be difficult to win.

This feeling of despair isn't just for Terry Porter right now, but for other Trail Blazers players as well.

So. When the Jazz players came off the court, Jerry Sloan, who was a little nervous after the game started, was relieved at this time.

As a very experienced head coach, Jerry Sloan certainly knows that he has some problems with the team now, but the shadow of being eliminated from the round last season is still in his heart, and he is not really afraid to gamble. How can a person think so much when he is forced to be in a hurry.

"No matter what. As long as you can break through the first round, just break through the first round first! ”

The key thing is that Jerry Sloan really doesn't want any twists and turns in the wheel now, so at this time, looking at Lin Han and Malone who were panting on the bench, the head coach of the Jazz team secretly swore in his heart, of course, for Jerry Sloan's character. The team really entered the second round, and I'm afraid he may not be rash to gamble. After all, there is still an essential difference between him and Nelson Sr.

"The Trail Blazers attacked, James Robinson was a little hesitant to hold the ball, and he was not able to pass the ball to Corbyn, who had already had a chance, and missed a very good open opportunity"

"The Trail Blazers' offense was a little hesitant after the start of the second quarter, and it can be seen that the morale of the Trail Blazers is a little depressed now."

When the second quarter of the game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers began, the Trail Blazers' home court, which was originally extremely crazy, was a little mixed at this time, and it was difficult to gather the momentum just now, and this situation seemed to be contagious to the Trail Blazers players, at least at this time, this group of Trail Blazers benches, who were originally very good, were now being pressed and beaten by the Jazz.

And when they saw this scene, both Larry Bird and Collins shook their heads helplessly.

For the Trail Blazers, who are already 2-2 behind, the reason why they can still have the courage to win the Jazz in this game is because they can see the hope of winning, and when they can't even see the hope, let them win when they are 2-2 down, how is this possible?

So, both Larry Bird and Collins know that this game is coming to an end for the Trail Blazers.

In fact, from the time the two sides played again in the second quarter, Trail Blazers All-Star guard Terry Porter was still sitting on the bench with a towel over his head after the start of the main time in the second quarter, and when the Trail Blazers players who were originally very good slowly lost their fighting spirit on the court at this time, the suspense of this game was not very big.

In the face of the Trail Blazers' now somewhat loose defense, Lin Han even controlled the players from Stockton's hands again, and still played the inside and outside connection of the first game with Malone, for the Trail Blazers whose defense has become loose, Lin Han and Malone's cooperation is more effective than that of Malone and Stockton.

"This guy is really strong, really strong"

Although Callesimo is a very young head coach, his coaching career is not short, he graduated from college because of his family background he was able to take charge of the famous coach of nnetcaa has 2o years of coaching experience, he has experienced the magic bird battle of the year, but also experienced the era of Jordan and Baias, and even now Grant Hill's Duke era, he has seen many talented players in their 2O years, and Lin Han is undoubtedly one of the best among these people.

So at this time, watching the guy who almost single-handedly beat his own team on the sidelines, Callesimo was very complicated at this time.

Appreciation for Lin Han, he has, unwilling to himself, he also has, although the team is about to face the fate of being swept by the Jazz, but he really didn't think that he lost because he was not as strong as Jerry Sloan, so in the end, the head coach of the Trail Blazers looked at the Jazz bench, and saw the Jazz head coach who has now calmed down, and Callesimo revealed some envy in his eyes.

"If he's a Trail Blazers player, I think we're probably better than the Jazz, right?"

At this time, Callesimo, who looked at Lin Han again, said with some uncertainty.

Of course, Callesimo would like his team to have a player like Lin Han, and he is not the only one who thinks this way at this time, such as Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, who got up from his seat and left the court directly after halftime.

"No matter what, I'm going to get him, any way, any means!"

The game between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers was very tortuous and dramatic, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that the Trail Blazers would lose by 11 points at halftime 41-52 in the situation of dominance after the game, and no one would have thought that the Trail Blazers, who shouted before the game, would lose by 22 points at the end of the game 86-1o8.

And when this game ended, there were still some Trail Blazers fans on the sidelines who couldn't accept such a result.

"It's over, congratulations to the Jazz, it's a nice win, congratulations on being able to beat the Trail Blazers 3-O to advance to the second round of the playoffs"

"But congratulations to the Trail Blazers, they played a very good role in the face of everyone's favorite, although they didn't win even a single game in this series, but their table was very good, both the head coach and the players of this team were very good, and they caused a lot of problems for the team with the best regular season record in the history of Mom."

"Although the series is 3-o, the Jazz have not advanced as easily as the score suggests, and this team needs to do better if they want to win the championship."

"Of course, it has to be said that this team has a very good group of players, especially Lynham, the Jazz guard came close to hitting a 5x5 in the third playoff game of his career, he scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks on 12-of-21 shooting in this game, and he was the biggest contributor to the Jazz promotion in this series."

When this game ended, as Lin Han, who participated in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and many young Jazz players, the victory of the series still made them very excited, especially Lin Han, the victory of this game did make him very excited, of course, not to mention Lin Han, even Malone and Stockton were quite excited at this time, although they were not in the center of the delta at this time, but at the moment of the end of the game, the two Jazz leading players still shouted as if they were at home.

"Jerry, we won!"

Of course, at this time, looking at the Jazz players on the court who were cheering and celebrating wildly, Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson in front of the Jazz bench on the sidelines also said excitedly to Jerry Sloan next to him, and the latter also smiled and nodded at this time.

Either way, the Jazz finally broke through the round again! (To be continued......)
