Chapter 287: Home Double Kill (Twilight Star Title 3)
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the sound of the start of the game!
The entire Rose Garden Arena has almost entered the rhythm of exploding, and more than 20,000 fans have been squeezed into the scene because of the extra seats!
More than 20,000 fans are crazy about all kinds of crazy, some are crazy and angry at Jazz players, and some are crazy to cheer for the Trail Blazers players!
The starters of both sides came on the stage, and Big Ben and Malone glared at each other.
These two are definitely at the level of deep hatred, but both sides know very well that the two of them can't make the first move, and once they do, it will be a fatal blow to their respective teams!
Without Malone's Jazz, the strength will drop directly to the point where even the Timberwolves are inferior, and the Trail Blazers can easily sweep away the Jazz.
And the Trailblazers without Big Ben, who will play against Malone?
Others can't withstand the impact of Malone, so if the Trail Blazers don't have a big book, although they won't be too miserable, but if they want to win the Jazz, it's too difficult and too difficult!
The game is on, and the Trail Blazers strike first!
When playing against the Spurs, Kobe Bryant was a kind of hard chisel general, but in the current situation against Stockton, he can't use a hard chisel method, and Stockton's strength is also quite terrifying, at least among the backcourt players, he is quite a top existence.
After the ball reached the front court, Bryant passed the ball to Rashid.
The latter's stable mid-range shot scored two points for the Trail Blazers!
Ball conversion, Jazz's offensive round......
Malone mentioned high and helped Stockton block and pick, while Kobe and Big Ben switched defenses after being blocked.
Kobe Bryant defends himself alone, which is definitely the best opportunity for Malone to attack!
I saw Malone like a bulldozer, pushing Kobe Bryant towards the penalty area......
Due to the fact that Sabonis is still in charge of the inner line, Malone did not dare to go too deep into the inner line.
One step away from the free throw line, Malone squeezed Kobe Bryant and shot directly!
He is quite sure of this point......
But before he could come back to his senses, a black shadow rushed in, and his big fan-like hand directly fanned out his hand.
Malone thought it was Big Ben, but when he saw the person who came, he was shocked to find that it was Rashid Wallace.
……
After the ball was fanned, Robinson in the bottom corner picked up the ball and passed it straight to Kobe!
After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he quickly launched a fast break, and dared to dunk the ball into the opponent's basket before Stockton caught up with him!
At the beginning, the Trailblazers directly played the Jazz with a wave of 4:0!
The fans at the scene shouted frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, this is the scene they want to see the most, the brutal Jazz on the field!
……
Next, for two consecutive rounds, the Jazz's offense was futile.
Mainly because of Malone's attack at this point, it was quite embarrassed by Rashid's assistant defense, although he did not encounter another block, but there was a 208 jumping man on the side, and anyone who replaced him would be affected to a certain extent.
And in these two offensive rounds, the Trail Blazers played an offensive again, this time it was Lao Sa who received Kobe's pass under the basket, and then turned around and scored the ball with a small hook.
Opening 7:0!
"Doot toot!" Sloan called a timeout directly during the deadball phase.
Such a situation was completely unexpected......
Originally, they also wanted to take revenge on the Trailblazers, after all, they had never taken advantage of the Trailblazers.
If it weren't for the Trail Blazers last season, they would have gotten their ticket to the Finals!
And this season, if it weren't for the Trail Blazers, they wouldn't have fallen to sixth place in the West......
Although they still made it to the Western Conference Finals, they put more effort into it!
……
"Well done, Rashid, that's how it should be!"
"As long as you can successfully defend against Malone, we can beat the Jazz into shit in this series!"
Richard is quite satisfied with the performance of the players on the field, especially Rashid, who seems to have opened his mind and done a good job of assisting Malone's defense.
In the previous game against the Jazz, Rashid was also placed by Richard in the position of assisting Ma Long, but the effect was unsatisfactory, and it was definitely not as efficient as today.
"Seeing that the contract is about to be renewed, I must behave well, haha, strive to get a big contract!" Rashid burst out laughing, not hiding his true thoughts at all.
Everyone couldn't laugh and cry, Rashid was too real......
It's just a rectum, and this kind of thing is actually said directly.
Richard smiled: "Okay, then fight well!" ”
……
After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and Sloan's side changed their offensive strategy.
Originally, Malone was the main point of attack of the team, but because Rashid has been eyeing him, Malone couldn't find any too comfortable opportunities to shoot.
In this case, Sloan can only spread the ball out and let Stockton split the ball to the team's second and third positions according to the situation.
That is, Hornacek and Russell.
The arrangement finally opened up the Jazz a little, and finally got the first goal of the game in the fifth offensive round.
Even when the Jazz opened, Richard looked relaxed, reclining on the bench and chatting with the assistant coach next to him.
He was contemptuous of Sir ......
The most terrifying point of Jazz is Marlon, and now because of the special care of Big Ben and Rashid, Marlon's firepower has been directly snuffed out by half!
This kind of jazz is not so terrible anymore, at least Richard didn't pay much attention to it.
The reason why the Rockets can't do the Jazz is because they lack a point that can target Malone, and it is impossible to count on Barkley Sr. to limit Malone's play......
And the Trailblazers have a young and strong base, and there is also a 208 jumping man Rashid, who is ready to help defend and block Malone's shot.
This made Malone quite uncomfortable......
……
Not only the Jazz team, but attentive fans can easily find that those teams with interior players as the main point of attack are not opponents of the Trail Blazers.
For example, the Spurs are not as good as the Jazz at the moment......
It can be said that the Trail Blazers are born to restrain the existence of interior teams because of the existence of the Obenra combination.
……
Although Sloan redistributed the ball on the court, their situation was still being pressed by the Trail Blazers, and there was no way to compete with the Trail Blazers.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, looking at the Jazz's data, it was found that Malone was completely restricted.
He scored just 18 points in this game!
And Stockton, Russell and Hornacek also scored more than ten points......
It looks like four people scored in double figures, and the situation is okay, but none of the entire Jazz team scored 20 points!
This is quite fatal, enough to show that no point on the Jazz court has played an advantage!
At 103:92, the Trail Blazers won by 11 points at home!
In the next G2, the Jazz's situation was slightly better, mainly because of Hornacek's three-way victory, but they still did not win the game and were narrowly defeated by the Trail Blazers.
It seems that the Trail Blazers only won by three points in the end, which is quite thrilling, but in fact, the pace of this game is still okay, and the Trail Blazers maintain the lead throughout the game.
At the last minute, Honacek scored two three-pointers in a row to close the gap between the two sides.
