In the face of Stockton's aggressive defense, I was actually mentally prepared, after all, he had already made a lot of unsightly small moves when defending me at the beginning, and the defensive effect on me was still very good at the time, maybe it made him think that it was very correct to use this defensive strategy against me.

But I obviously can't let Stockton continue to be arrogant, if he has always felt that he can prevent me with this kind of small action, it is obviously a little too underestimated me, in fact, when I started the second quarter, I have been more accustomed to his defense, but in the third quarter I did not participate too much in the offense in order to save physical energy, and now it is the fourth quarter, and our Lakers are still eight points behind the Jazz, Now it's time for me to show what I'm capable of.

When I attack with the ball, I have to confront Stockton head-on, when you appear weak, your opponent will further choose to bully you, only when you become stronger, can your opponent really fear you and value you, at this time Stockton's appearance is obviously not to put me in his eyes, in the face of his behavior, I am not very annoyed, after all, the basketball court is to rely on strength to speak.

When our Lakers starters came on the court, they showed a completely different mental outlook than before, in my opinion, although the Jazz team is very strong, our Lakers team is not without a chance to win, as long as we can unite in the future, the overall strength of the entire Lakers team is brought into play, there is still a chance to win the game.

In the face of Stockton's defense, I forced a shot directly outside the three-point line against his hand on my arm, my body almost lost its balance in the air, but in the end the ball was still thrown by me, Stockton was probably also very surprised, because this forced three-point shot not only scored, but also caused his foul, the referee hesitated a little, so the whistle sounded a little late, but in the end the whistle still sounded, and finally I added a free throw to score, and scored four points successfully, So that the difference between the two sides was only four points at once.

In the next round, Stockton was again holding the ball to organize, it seems that he is also going to confront my defense head-on, and for the sake of his defense of me so hard, I have to choose to treat him well, my defense of Stockton is also completely disregarding physical fitness, basically like a dog skin plaster sticking to him for defense, this time also made Stockton feel a little uncomfortable, After all, it is rare for a player to put so much defensive effort into a playmaker like him.

But one thing I know very well is that Stockton is the real heart and brain of the Jazz team, so whether he holds the ball or shoots, I have to be oppressive on his defense, because this can interfere with the Jazz's tactical execution, although they have also shown that they can play without Stockton's organization, but in the end, after they enter the fourth quarter, they still have to rely on Stockton's organizational ability to play, so I can't relax my defense against Stockton, I just want to prevent him until he has a psychological breakdown.

Of course, Stockton's psychological quality is not so bad, even if I have been very crazy to press and defend him, now he still maintains a calm and watery face, of course, I know that all this is actually just an illusion he disguised, Stockton's real thoughts now must be quite uncomfortable, he will definitely feel that my defense is very annoying, but he doesn't want to let me know his true thoughts, so he deliberately disguised all his true thoughts.

But if I can cause problems for Stockton and the Jazz, it doesn't matter if they show it or not, the important thing is that their form is a big negative because of my defense.

Stockton was very calm when handling the ball, I know that he uses his eyes to see where his teammates are and where they are likely to appear, and his passing is often anticipatory, which allows him to get a lot of chances and create a lot of opportunities for his teammates.

In my defense, I can let him focus more on how to get rid of my defense, so that Stockton has less energy to think about how to pass the ball to his teammates, how to create better offensive opportunities for his teammates, of course, this kind of defense is also a very big test of my fitness, but fortunately I am now through the worst of the extreme.

My physical fitness itself is very good, so the pole appears much later than the average player, but once the pole comes, it will still be very uncomfortable, and even have a feeling that I want to die, but when this feeling is finally overcome, I will regain a new feeling, and my breathing will no longer be as rapid and difficult as when the pole comes.

At this time, I have already given the pole to pass, so I don't have to worry about causing huge trouble to myself because of the arrival of the physical limit, of course, anyone's physical fitness can not be without an upper limit, even if my physical fitness is very good, but there will still be a maximum limit, but in the usual competition, such a maximum limit will not be easily reached, I believe that my current physical state is still a long way from reaching that maximum limit.

Because Stockton encountered my crazy entanglement on the defensive end, the Jazz's offensive tactics were not fully developed, which greatly slowed down their offensive tempo, and our Lakers team successfully made the Jazz gradually lose control of the rhythm of the game on the court.

Many times in basketball games, the focus is on the competition for the rhythm of the game, and this point is very much needed for the players to control on the court, because the rhythm is invisible and intangible after all, only some players perceive and understand the existence of this rhythm through continuous play, and know very well how much impact these rhythms will have on the course of the whole game.

Often, what is invisible and intangible becomes the most influential factor in everything we see, and these factors are likely to be difficult to describe.

It's like when you take a timeout, your head coach can tell you how to run the game and how to cooperate with your teammates, but it's hard to tell you how to control the pace of the game on the basketball court, because the rhythm is really abstract and can't be depicted in words.

But the influence of rhythm on the basketball court is often greater than the impact of the team's tactics itself, which is why many top point guards are so important, they can use their talent or experience on the court to control the rhythm of the game on the court, whether it is offensive or defensive, of course, point guards mainly control the rhythm of the offensive end, and players like centers often control the rhythm of the defensive end.

Of course, sometimes this point is not necessarily fixed, and there are many times when the person who controls the rhythm on the offensive end is not the point guard, and sometimes the person who controls the rhythm of the game on the defensive end is not the center, which depends on the different teams, when facing different opponents, when using different tactical systems, and specific adjustments are made in each game.

And among the Jazz, it is clear that Stockton is the one who controls the rhythm of the Jazz on both the offensive and defensive ends, he is the real brain of the Jazz on the court, and head coach Jerry Sloan is their brain off the court, these two people work together to make the Jazz a feared team, their home court is known as the home court of the devil, countless teams have been defeated by them on their home court, and our Lakers team has also suffered such a fate.

But today, all this may not happen again, I believe that as long as our Lakers players work hard enough, as long as we make the right choices against them, there will be a certain chance to beat them, no matter how slim this opportunity is, we will give all our efforts to fight for it.

In fact, the Jazz team is not in a particularly good state after replacing the starters, at least the current situation seems to be like this, our Lakers starters have improved their state a lot at this time, and they are not lost to the Jazz team at all, perhaps because our previous game with the Jazz has adjusted our psychological state, I found that as long as our Lakers players are psychologically correct when facing the Jazz players, then the actual game will not be much worse.

Especially in the face of Stockton's defense, I have scored several goals in a row, and my goals are all completed under extremely difficult conditions, which has caused a relatively big impact on the Jazz's defensive system, after all, the time before the end of the game is getting less and less, and our Lakers team has unconsciously leveled the difference at this time.

At this time, the fourth quarter is exactly halfway over, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the remaining half of the time, the Jazz home stadium with a better atmosphere has fallen into a silence at this time, you must know that we have seen such silence before, that was the last time we were a guest at the Jazz team's home court, when we fell behind by 30 points in the first half, and then in the second half we were also crazy chasing points, and almost reversed the score back, I remember that the Jazz home fans at that time were also very quiet, and that kind of silence was simply indescribable, and it gave people the feeling that the home fans were suddenly overwhelmed by a certain situation, which they had never seen before.

Of course, we still had Shaq on the Lakers lineup at the time, and now that we're in this situation again, but there's no Shaq anymore, I don't know what Shaq would think if our Lakers really won this game.

After all, it's not terrible to win, it's embarrassing to lack anyone, of course, in terms of Shaq's character, he may not feel anything embarrassing, after all, many times he doesn't particularly care about these things, although he still cares more about the team's victory, but obviously he doesn't care as much as I do.

In Shaq's life, there is not just a choice of basketball, he really has too many choices, it is precisely because of these too many choices that distract his attention, there is no way for him to devote all his energy to the basketball game, so he has not been able to become the most powerful basketball player of all time, if he can have half of Kobe's efforts to survive, maybe Shaq's achievements will be directly comparable to the basketball god Michael Jordan, Maybe the person who really became the god of basketball was him Shaq, O'Neal.

But it is clear that he is unlikely to replace Jordan as the god of basketball, this is due to his personality, you must know that Jordan couldn't even stay on the school team when he was in middle school and was expelled from the school team, but Jordan's character is the type that does not admit defeat at all, and this blow makes him even stronger.

Different players show different attitudes in the face of setbacks in life, and will ultimately determine what their life trajectory will go to, some people are very smooth in the early stages of life, but in the second half of life it is more difficult, but some people in the first half of life will be more difficult, but they will become much smoother after entering the second half of life, which often depends on a choice or attitude you have towards your life.

The Jazz didn't call a timeout after we tied the score, because they didn't have many timeouts, and they probably wanted to keep some more timeouts in the last minute of the game, but of course the next few minutes were a huge test of willpower for the players on both teams.

Because our starters on both sides are basically going to play the game with a lot of intensity for the rest of the game, and every pause is extra precious for our players on both sides, especially for our Lakers players.

Maybe another reason why the Jazz are reluctant to call a timeout is that they want to directly drag down our physical fitness, because they know that our physical fitness has reached a state of limit, and if it drags on any longer, it will only be detrimental to our Lakers.

Of course, if the Jazz really think so, I will definitely make them regret it, because no matter what the state of the other players on our Lakers team is, I only know that I have now passed the most uncomfortable stage, and now the state of the whole person is quickly picking up, and in this state I will soon be able to enter a state where they have no way to prevent it, at this time they may have a chance to call a timeout, if not a timeout, I'm definitely going to keep up my good form and beat the Jazz in one go.

The Jazz players on the court at this time are actually not easy, they certainly didn't think so much, why their head coach didn't call a timeout when our Lakers tied the score, what they saw in their eyes must be the recovery of our Lakers' state, especially the recovery of my state, although they have been very targeted at me on the defensive end, but they will find that their various targeted behaviors may not be able to completely block me to death, which must have caused some kind of blow to their psychology.

I can understand where they are and how they feel at the moment, because I've used my performances to get a lot of players into that state and they wonder why they're so powerless against them.

Soon I was able to make Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan regret not calling a timeout.

In the next two minutes, I shot inside and out, and under the hard work of many Jazz players, I was able to cut 10 points in a row, an average of 10 points a minute, what kind of scoring efficiency is this, and the most important thing is that this is what they achieved after their Jazz team's key package.

No matter how much they tried to stop me from scoring, I was completely crazy, I didn't care if there was one or a few people defending me in front of me, I didn't care about Stockton's little moves or the fouls of other Jazz players, I just knew that I saw a hint of fear in their eyes, which was something I couldn't imagine before.

With this wave of outbursts, our Lakers team successfully overtook the score, and even extended the lead to five points, so the reality for the Jazz players seems very difficult, what kind of real thoughts will they have at this time?

I don't know if he will regret that he called this timeout for almost two minutes late, and he would have thought that if he had called this timeout earlier, the rookie player on the opposite team would not have acted so crazy, but the reality is that nothing will change in his personal opinion.
