Chapter 198: The Unsolved Jazz (Monthly Pass 700 Plus Update)
The most vicious villain also has a soft place in his heart......
The Jazz home fans, who are also some sympathetic to the Trail Blazers, are really miserable, and they are all scarred.
In this case, there is sympathy in my heart, and I am willing to boo others.
Soon at the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear......
The Jazz will see the blood marks on the Trail Blazers players, and their scalps will be numb, how much pain these crazy people have endured......
Jazz starting lineup: The center position is second-year rookie Greg Ostertag, and in '95 the Jazz used the rookie center selected with the 28th pick in the first round......
The strength is a bit scum, whether it is immediate combat power or potential, there are no bright spots.
That's why the Jazz wanted to trade for Junior before the trade market closed this season......
It can be said that the center position is an absolute shortcoming of the Jazz, and they are also looking for ways to strengthen it.
The power forward position is Postman Malone, one of the league's supergiants, there is nothing to say about this, no one knows Malone.
The player at the small forward position is named Brian Russell, who played off the bench last season, and this season he is right, has a good three-point strength, and the defensive end is also good, almost at the same level as Bowen now......
Of course, this guy definitely doesn't have Bowen Yin......
The starting backcourt is Stockton and Jeff Hornacek, and like Malone, Stockton has nothing to say, and the Earthlings must know more about the player at the top of the NBA's all-time assist list......
And Jeff Hornacek, fans will not be unfamiliar, although the physical fitness is very average, but the ball quotient is quite high, accurate shooting, has won two three-point contest championships, a typical traditional quarterback template, is the Jazz team's three masters.
It can be said that the Jazz can dominate the West, and the "Death Gun" Hornacek has played a key role in it.
The signature free throw touching face trilogy, before each free throw, no more or no less serious three shots, then touch the face, finally close your eyes and meditate, and finally shoot......
According to his own words, this action is because he wants to remind his three daughters that his father is about to start performing......
When it comes to Hornacek's three daughters, it's a man's dream, with long legs, beautiful as flowers, and versatile!
Especially Abby Hornacek, that is definitely a goddess level, anyway, Richard remembers very well that in his previous life of basketball, at least one of the ten books was the heroine of Hornacek......
178 height, super good looks, hot body, won the third runner-up of Miss Beauty Pageant, versatile, good at basketball and volleyball, obviously you can rely on your appearance to eat, but you have to rely on your own strength......
If you really want to find the perfect goddess in NBA circles in the minds of fans, Abby Hornacek is expected to be at the top of the list, because this girl is so perfect, perfect enough to make God jealous.
When Richard saw Hornacek on the sidelines, he was thinking about his daughter, and if Hornacek had known, he would probably have rushed to the Trail Blazers bench and strangled Richard......
Because Abby is only three years old right now!
……
"Doot toot!" The referee blows the whistle and the center forwards of both sides execute the jump ball.
Rookie center Greg's height of 218 cm, coupled with his youth, certainly did not have the reason to lose to Lao Sa in jump, and directly got the ball in the first offensive round for the Jazz.
Stockton controlled the ball and advanced, and Bryant stepped forward to press.
The Trail Blazers' defensive tactics are man-to-man, and Kobe's target is Stockton.
Of course, Kobe Bryant didn't dare to rush up and reach out for the ball, and he faced Stockton several times in the regular season, and he suffered many losses in this regard, and now his memory has risen......
Stockton advanced, Kobe shrank back, anyway, Stockton could not rely on Kobe's defense to rely on breakthrough scoring.
After the ball reached the frontcourt, Malone mentioned the high position, and the muscular body was directly stuck in the elbow area, at which time Big Ben immediately switched to Stockton to prevent Stockton from projecting......
Next, Marlon rushed towards the restricted area like a tank.
Kobe Bryant's small body at the moment, how can he stop Malone, after receiving Stockton's pass, Malone jumped directly inside the free throw line and threw it!
"Huh!" The crisp sound of basketball entering the net, Jazz took the lead.
Rashid held up a finger at the bench with some guilt, signaling that the ball was his own pot.
Before the start of the game, Richard had told Rashid to always pay attention to helping Kobe Bryant make up for the defense, but this offensive round still gave Malone a chance to make an easy shot.
In the next offensive round of the Trail Blazers, Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Lao Sa under the basket, Lao Sa tossed and turned under the basket, and did not find a suitable opportunity to shoot, just as Rashid answered, and Lao Sa passed the ball directly to Rashid, who scored in the middle shot!
At the beginning of the game, the two sides were almost evenly matched.
It's the Jazz's offensive round again, and this time Rashid learned the lesson of the previous round, and directly after the Jazz blocked and dismantled, he targeted Postman Malone!
But what hurt Richard was that this time Stockton did not pass the ball to Malone, but to Brian Russell on the outside for the first time......
Russell's outside three-point hand rises and falls, and he goes directly into the net!
This is where the Jazz team is strong, simple blocking tactics can evolve into countless small tactics, if Rashid didn't stare at Malone just now, Stockton would definitely pass the ball to Malone and let Malone shoot easily.
And Rashid set his sights on Malone, and Stockton, whose organizational ability is quite terrible, found Russell, who was strong in three-point strength, and the latter hit a three-point shot in a half-empty position!
Don't forget, in addition to Russell's three-point shooter, there is also a Hornacek on the outside of the Jazz running wildly, waiting for Stockton's shot.
Jazz was able to wrestle his wrist with the peerless bull, and it was really not luck.
Stockton, the backcourt engine, is definitely the most organized point guard in the league today, the strongest, there is no one!
It is up to him to divide the ball and always get the ball to the most appropriate output point, which allows him to maximize the offensive firepower of Hornacek and Russell as much as possible!
And the cooperation between Malone and Stockton can be said to have reached the point of perfection.
Ma Long's personal strength is extremely strong, and the super all-round power forward, with the top engine of Stockton, it is even more powerful!
If you really want to find a shortcoming in the Jazz lineup, it is undoubtedly the center position......
If the Jazz can find a center with secondary offensive ability, good rebounding, and good interior defense, then it is predictable that this Jazz team will not be unbelievable to beat the Bulls.
This is also the reason why they are eyeing Xiao Ao, who has performed well this season, at least better than the current Grieg.
Continue to grow and grow next season, and definitely make up for the shortcomings of the Jazz center position!
Looking at the league as a whole, those reliable blue-collar centers who have become famous, such as Mutombo, have no chips to get their hands on, and there is also no salary space......
So only newcomers can be chosen.
In the newcomer group, the only two suitable for the Jazz are this year's top eyes Camby and Xiao Ao......
The value of Camby is too high, and the Jazz can't come up with anything, so they can only target Xiao O, who is the seventeenth pick.
What hurt the Jazz management was that Richard didn't even give a chance to discuss and directly refused.
