The first game of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Jazz was very intense.

Both the Lakers and Jazz defeated their opponents in the last round by chopping melons and vegetables.

It's the kind of pattern that wants to kill the opponent completely as soon as you come up.

Can this game.

Both teams were scorched from the start.

And these two teams are not so anxious that they can't close the distance between them and their opponents.

Both teams are performing too well, and if one side performs a little worse, they may not be able to get anxious!

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 16-16, a tie!

By the end of the quarter, the score was 34-33, and the Lakers had won by one point at home!!

At the halfway point of the second quarter, the score on the court was 47-48, and during this time, the bench lineups of both sides were on the court, and the Lakers were one point behind at home!

It wasn't until Lin Han came back on the court in the second quarter that the Lakers' first offense was a successful dunk under the basket by Lin Han's bulldozer-style breakthrough.

Beat the score to 49-48 again!

And this time the score staggering is also the tenth time so far in this game!

"In the first half of this game, most of Lin Han's scoring was this bulldozer-style breakthrough dunk, Jazz lowered the height of the basket, as long as Stockton made the slightest defensive mistake, the other Jazz players would not shrink and protect enough, and Lin Han would be given the opportunity to enter the basket, and Lin Han's offensive timing has reached an incredible point!"

"In the regular season this season, Lin Han's offensive style was very reckless, and there would be a lot of difficult three-point pulls in the first half, but in this game, in the face of Jerry Sloan's single defense of reducing the height, increasing movement and Stockton, Lin Han's style of play has changed, and we have not seen that kind of extremely difficult three-point again, what we see more is Lin Han's waiting for the opponent's defensive loopholes to break through and block with his teammates and be covered by the defender's empty three-point shot!"

"This style of play makes Lin Han not have such explosive output, but it makes the entire Lakers become very balanced on the offensive end, and it can be seen that Lin Han deliberately made him and the Lakers balanced!"

"This season is different from last season, this season with Lin Han is Mutombo, Rodman and Joe Dumas Eddie Jones, they can be more worthy of Lin Han's trust, this game, Lin Han does trust them enough!"

"It was a very exciting game, and Jerry Sloan's defensive strategy against Lin Han made Lin Han find an opportunity to change!"

The Lakers and Jazz game is the focus of attention across the league.

When this game is playing, whether it is the Chicago Bulls or the Orlando Magic or the Houston Rockets and the Seattle SuperSonics are all watching.

Who made the Lakers the best team this season and the strongest team, all the strong teams ended up targeting the Lakers!

As for the Jazz, it was the team with the most eye-catching performance in the playoffs, and David Robinson was beaten to tears.

The strength of this team makes everyone look forward to what kind of spark they can meet with the Lakers!

In the half of this focus game, the other NBA teams and superstars who followed this game were not disappointed, it should be said, they all felt the shock!

"Gary, did the Lakers and Jazz make any mistakes in the first half?"

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention"

Gary Payton shook his head a little dazed.

He watched the game so intensively that he really didn't notice whether the two teams made mistakes.

This game is really exciting!

The two teams actually played an incredible 64-64 score in the first half of the playoffs.

You know, this is the playoffs between the Lakers and the Jazz!

It's not the Lakers and Warriors or the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves!

Facing the Jazz, if it was a supersonic, it would be impossible to score 64 points in the half anyway!

Similarly, in the face of the Lakers, the superSonics can't do this!

The intensity of the game between the Jazz and the Lakers, high horror!

And in such a high-intensity game, how can two teams play to this extent?

This is a typical fairy fight!

Just like last year's finals, Lin Han and Jordan did it in the finals!

It's just that this time it was the team and the team, not the players and the players!

"In the first half in the rotation, the Lakers had a turnover, the Jazz had zero turnovers in the half, and the Lakers' mistake was caught by the Jazz and played a counterattack"

"I remember, it was Teyus Edney who was capped, right? Isn't the block a mistake? ”

"Statistically, that one counted as a steal, and it was the only turnover of the Lakers in the first half."

"So the two teams really played an almost perfect half"

"This half of the game is of great reference value"

After SuperSonics head coach George Karl finished speaking, all the SuperSonics players present nodded.

In the face of this kind of single defense, Lin Han is no longer blindly crazy and dry, but chooses to cooperate more with his teammates, which is a huge change!

In the face of single defense, Lin Han not only has a lot of room to shoot, but also has a lot of space to hold the ball.

The space to shoot can be used to make shots, and the space to hold the ball can be used to cooperate with teammates.

It depends on how Lin Han chooses.

In the end, Lin Han chose to cooperate with his teammates!

At the very least, the first half was about team-mates and punishing the Jazz's small lineup.

Payton doesn't know if Lin Han will still be like this when facing the supersound, but it is clear that the Lakers and Lin Han, who are more comfortable now, will be more difficult to deal with than before.

And, as Larry Bird, the game's commentator, said.

Now the other players of the Lakers can really be trusted by Lin Han and let Lin Han hand over more of the ball!

This will directly form a perfect virtuous circle in which Lin Han will contain other Lakers players, and other Lakers players will also contain Lin Han.

Such a virtuous circle is much more durable than the previous simple containment of Lin Han for his teammates.

At least, Lin Han doesn't have to worry about a sudden power outage.

In the regular season, the Lakers lost to the SuperSonics, and Lin Han suddenly lost power.

Lin Han lost power, and the Lakers also lost power, and in the end, they naturally lost.

This game has created a virtuous circle for the Lakers, and the same is true for the Jazz.

The Jazz, who changed to a small lineup, just gave up defense and chose to maximize offense.

Ma Long is the spear on the outside line, and the spears on the outside line are also contained by Ma Long.

This kind of play of one big and four small, one inside and four outside, and one star is very common in the current NBA.

This is the case with the old rival Rocket, the old opponent of the supersonic speed, and the same is true for the Magic.

However, whether it is Olajuwon or O'Neal, they do not have the offensive comprehensiveness of Malone now!

The current Ma Long, as an interior offensive player, is really perfect!

The Jazz's one-star shot is definitely the strongest one-star in NBA history!

Otherwise, the Jazz would not be able to bite the score when the Lakers performed so perfectly.

Malone is really completely invincible on the inside, which O'Neal and Olajuwon have not done!

Rodman's defense is already very good, but when he is in a good defensive position and can withstand Malone, Malone, pulls out to block or shoot.

When Rodman is not in a good position, he forcibly eats Rodman.

As long as other Lakers players come over to wrap up, his ball is extremely timely, and there is no way to get it no matter how you look at it.

The hard power is already so strong, and it is extremely cunning, there is no way to get it!

In this half of the game, the SuperSonics felt that it made sense for the United States today to rank Malone in third place in the power rankings, surpassing Olajuwon O'Neal behind Lin Han and Jordan.

"After all, it is the most powerful power forward in history"

Although many people in front of the TV still despise Ma Long's personality, they are still convinced of the strength he has shown.

"Fortunately, Ma Long's personality has a problem, and he finally squeezed Lin Han out of the jazz, otherwise ......"

George Carr was truly blessed.

If Lin Han and Ma Long continue to be in the same team, the others will have to wash and sleep.

Two all-time stars, one team, one is the all-time No. 1 power forward, and the other is the all-time No. 1 player.

Unless you get Jordan Chamberlain to a team, you really can't play.

His supersonic speed can't make such a team.

In this game, Malone played very focused!

Last season, or even the first half of this season.

He has played so perfectly, and Lin Han has not yet exerted his strength, but the Jazz team is still not ahead, he will definitely be irritable.

Now, after the start of the second half, Malone is still calmly playing according to head coach Jerry Sloan's tactics, putting him in a whole of the Jazz team to entangle with the Lakers.

Instead of taking him out and playing a heads-up showdown with the Lakers.

Malone knows very well that anyone who plays heads-up with the Lakers will not end well!

Just look at Jordan in last season's finals!

Just look at his first two regular-season games with the Lakers this season!

Jordan and his heads-up have played to the extreme in these games, but they are still inferior to Lin Han!

He hated Lin Han very much, and Lin Han, as the younger brother, snatched everything from him.

If there is no Lin Han, he will be the overlord of the NBA in the past two years, with two consecutive regular season MVP and Finals MVP!

Instead of being abandoned by Jazz fans, disdained by the rest of the league, and ridiculed by the media in the United States, as is the case now.

What does it mean to accept the fate that is not as good as Lin Han, and to be the second of 10,000 years of jazz, he is not the second of 10,000 years!

This year, he wants to be the boss, not only the boss of the Jazz, but also the boss of the league!

Before Malone came along, no one in the league had encountered a player like Malone with almost perfect interior offensive skills.

When Rodman first met Malone, he was blown up by Malone's temper.

In the last round, even the generals, facing Ma Long, did not slow down in a series.

Under Lin Han's special training, Rodman is definitely the most experienced player in the league to defend Ma Long.

It's just that the most insightful doesn't mean that you can prevent it!

Rodman is experienced defensively, and Rodman's defensive attitude is extremely good.

But in the end, Rodman found that he really couldn't get Malone now!

After Ma Long tested him twice with his back, he pulled him out directly, what should he do now?

Go out, or do you still hold on to your current position?

With out, Malone must pass the ball to his teammates first, and then re-position, he will need to compete with Malone for position again.

The defense is relatively offensive, and he is already in a weak position, Malone is stronger than him, and he is stronger than him, so he grabbed a favorable position, is it easy?

To be played like this by Marlon?

Don't you go out, do you?

Watching Malone empty half-volley?

Call your teammates to wrap up, let's not talk about face, look at the bunch of shooters on the Jazz outside, all the swarthy cannons are aimed at the basket.

In this game, Malone also had no fewer assists!

In Rodman's mind, his former teammate David Robinson at the Spurs has a very low status.

In his mind, David Robinson is a soft egg.

But now, he really understands why David Robinson was beaten to tears by Malone!

If he hadn't been specially trained by Lin Han for half a season.

In the face of such a Ma Long, he estimated that he was also full of fouls, and he was afraid that he would also be beaten and would not be able to take care of himself.

Rodman's mood was a little confused, but he eventually followed.

Just halfway after following, I thought that Malone would pass the ball to his teammates who received outside to continue to ask for the position, but who knew that Malone stopped directly.

Malone leaned on Rodman again, and then turned around with a beautiful back to clean Rodman.

Feeling Malone whizzing past him, Rodman was now desperate.

In this game, I said that I was going to kill Malone one-on-one?

In the end, he found that without the assistance of his teammates in this game, he couldn't even force Malone to pass!

That's pretty damaging!

He's the league's three-line power forward, and he's a defensive player!

A group of defenders against a group of players, when is the gap already so big?

This time, he was cleaned up by Malone in such an inducing way, and Rodman could only look back and watch Malone dunk.

Mutombo has been pulled out, it's unlikely he'll come back to make up for it, he's not that quick.

It's just that......

As soon as Rodman turned around, he saw Ma Long flying in the air ready to dunk and Lin Han flying from the side!

Rodman was pleasantly surprised when he found out that Lin Han was coming!

However, since Rodman found out, of course Malone also found out!

"Lin Han's defense is very decisive, as if he already knows that Rodman can't stop Ma Long this time!"

"That's for sure, in the previous game, except for Ma Long's own missed shots or chose to pass, Rodman didn't have a single successful defensive experience, but this is the first time Lin Han has assisted Ma Long in this game!"

From the position of the outside line, the inside line is co-defended, and the distance is very long.

For Lin Han, running away does not consume physical energy.

The energy is consumed because if you want to have the best time to help defend, you must activate the 'Absolute Defense' skill.

Therefore, Lin Han, who had been saving effort in the first half, did not participate in the defense.

Besides, Rodman is also very confident.

Then let Rodman do it himself.

As for now, it's already the second half, and of course Marlon can't be allowed to do whatever he wants!

In the face of Lin Han's big slap, if he changed to the previous Ma Long, he would definitely come hard.

This is Lin Han's chance!

A chance to make headlines around the world!

How many people dream of this opportunity!

And Malone also has an advantage!

When Lin Han's big slap flew, Lin Han was surprised to find that Ma Long actually chose to pass the ball in this 80% chance of successful dunking!

Throw the ball to Steve Smith on the left!

"Malone's ball is beautiful! Steve Smith hit an empty three-point shot, 83-82, and the Jazz once again overtook the score! ”

Steve Smith lived up to Malone's trust and hit this open three-pointer.

Lin Han didn't care about Steve Smith's hit, but looked at Ma Long who came down from the sky with him in surprise.

"I have a dunk success rate of more than 80%, and a block like yours has a 100% success rate, and if I dunk this ball, I will definitely be blocked by you, right?"

"That's right"

Lin Han nodded, if Malone dunked just now, he would definitely be blocked by him.

"In this world, you are not the only one who is improving, I am too, even if my progress is not as fast as yours, and my strength is no longer as good as yours, I can defeat you!"

Not as strong as me?

Looking at Ma Long's back, Lin Han was really surprised.

When did Malone admit to him face-to-face that his strength was not as good as him?

Also, when has Malone ever been so calm?

When didn't you make yourself like a madman?

"Lin, this ball is my fault, I was too careless"

"It's okay, Dennis's defense is already good, we all underestimated Carl"

underestimated Ma Long, they did underestimate Ma Long, otherwise he would not have the idea that he could kill Ma Long one-on-one in this game.

And the Lakers' up and down also believed that he could do this.

"Dennis, change me to defend Malone in the next game"

This time, Rodman nodded without the slightest hesitation.
