After this goal was scored, the state of our Lakers on the court has changed a lot, this is mainly a change in the psychological level, after all, when our psychological state becomes more stable, our combat effectiveness will be further improved, to be honest, I now think that we will not even lose today's game.

Although the probability of losing the game is still relatively large, it does not mean that we have no room for counterattack, many things if you don't do it, you will feel that it is impossible to do it, but the most feared thing in the world is to have a heart, as long as you really work hard to pay, then many things are there room for conversion.

Then our Lakers players all came together, encouraged each other, helped each other, and the morale of the whole team suddenly increased a lot, and when we were in this state of hatred, no matter how strong the opponent was, we were able to bring out our best performance.

Stockton didn't have the same advantage when defending me, and the Jazz started to feel less confident when defending me, because they thought Stockton could easily defend me alone, and the other players didn't even need to help me defend at all.

I'll admit it was like that in the first quarter, but now that I'm in a different situation, it's unlikely that they'll be able to defend me easily, and as long as I can get the upper hand in a one-on-one situation, the Jazz will have to wrap and help defend me so that my other teammates can get some better shots.

And I also decided not to play too alone, since the morale of my teammates has come up, and they all have a lot of desire to attack, then I should make some good passes and assists to them, and also guide my teammates to play better, after all, I can't win the game alone.

Maybe I should trust my own teammates a little more, I said to myself in the back of my heart.

And I did, and when I made two very difficult step-back jumpers in a row on the offensive end under Stockton's defense, the Jazz were only able to clamp me tightly, and of course they didn't do it overnight, but slowly monitored me, and then all of a sudden, several people came over and clamped me.

Nowadays, when many teams defend me, they use the method of sudden packing, because they will definitely find through the game video that if their bag is not fast enough, it is difficult to take advantage of me, because the ability to break the bag and defend is one of the best in the league, and only the fastest speed of the bag can make me make a certain degree of mistake.

Of course, my error rate is actually relatively low among defenders, especially after my ball is trapped, the error rate is very low, if my mistakes mainly come from, it may mainly come from passing mistakes, passing is not my strength, although it is not bad, but sometimes my passing route is indeed too easy to predict, so it is easy for opponents to find opportunities to block and intercept my passes.

Passing is a very complex technique, although we usually know how to pass the ball, but the timing of the pass, the angle of the pass, the accuracy of the pass, the stability of the pass, the forward-looking of the pass, the strength of the pass, and many other aspects can be perfected, although everyone can pass the ball, but there are only a handful of people who can really pass the ball better.

As for my passing level, it should be considered better among ordinary players, my passing style is often intentional to imitate Magic Johnson, but in the end I also found that I don't have the passing talent of Magic, and many times I will draw tigers instead of anti-dogs, so in the end I decided to use my own style to pass, not to deliberately imitate Magic's passing style, his style is really not something that ordinary people can imitate.

What I should really learn is Magic Johnson's grasp of the timing of passes, in the video I found that many of his passes are really in advance of the position of teammates and opponents, his passes can not only guide teammates forward, so that teammates get easier scoring opportunities, but also his passes can effectively avoid the opponent's defense, no matter how the opponent predicts and intercepts his passing route, But there doesn't seem to be any way to really influence Magic Johnson to find the teammates he wants.

Magic Johnson can establish a pretty good tacit connection with his teammates, because of this, even if he scores very little, he is always the brightest star on the field, the whole focus is on him, watching his game is like watching a movie or a magic show, you don't even know what kind of scene you will see next, what he does is sometimes really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but that is actually good, you can relax, Let the magician's pass lead you to appreciate the special charm of basketball.

As for Stockton, the top point guard who is now opposite me, I am also carefully observing his every move while playing against him, I will carefully see where he pays attention when he plays, the role he plays on the court and some details of his passing, in fact, Stockton's style of play does not look as flashy and rich as Magic Johnson.

But if you look at this opponent carefully, you can learn a lot from him, and even more than you can from Magic Johnson, which I didn't expect at first, but until I did, I could really feel the change.

Every opponent you have experienced can be your teacher, and in the process of playing against them, you will not only play them, but also make these matches a microcosm of your career, in the process you will gradually accumulate experience, enrich your various feelings on the field, and when you learn these valuable experiences and details from those opponents that you will not be able to beat at first, you will realize how worthwhile it is all about.

The game continued, and the Jazz team had already focused on Carl Malone at this time, and Karl Malone held the ball directly in the high post, and then crushed Robert Horry who was defending him with his back for a single, to be honest, Robert Horry Although he was about the same height as Carl Marlon, the shape of his entire body was basically more than an order of magnitude worse, and it felt like a huge muscle monster like a huge muscle monster.

And Karl Malone will have some details of his game when he plays in the low back, which are rarely seen in other interior players, and Robert Horry is usually not good at this kind of defense of low back singles, because in fact he is not a defensive player at all, and generally Shaq does not need him to do these things when he is guarding on the inside, but now it is obvious that without Shaq, he needs to face such a situation alone.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a chance to defend Karl Malone at all, because Karl Malone's height and arm span are not particularly good, and the most critical point is that in fact, too developed muscles will also cause some reduction in agility, Karl Malone is not the kind of player who relies on explosiveness to eat many times, although he is very strong, but in fact, the body explosiveness is not enough.

I saw that Karl Malone directly elbowed Robert Horry to the ground, and at this time the referee did not react at all, such an obvious elbow action was completely like not seeing a glance, which our Lakers team showed great dissatisfaction, but the referee was still indifferent to this.

Karl Malone saw that the referee didn't blow the penalty, and after rushing into the inside line of our Lakers, he also came to a one-handed split, it seems that this is really their Jazz team's home court, since it is their home court, it is not too strange for this kind of home referee to be blind, right,

Our Lakers players on the court were angered by Karl Malone's behavior, and everyone showed more enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the game than before, wanting to get back on the offensive end.

In the next round after coming back, the Jazz began to move more on the defensive end, and they kept disrupting our Lakers offensive players with some not-so-good physical movements while defending, and the referees still chose to ignore their small actions.

We can only dare to be angry and dare not speak, there is no way to deal with these behaviors of the Jazz team, no matter how the game still has to continue, it is actually normal for some referees to be unfair in the NBA, although every game, some of the referee's judgments will always be questioned to a certain extent, but as a professional player in the NBA, you must learn to accept these objective situations, because whether it is the opponent's home court or your own home court, The home whistle is generally unavoidable, and this is one of the factors that make up home advantage.

Going back to our Lakers' offensive round, this time we played very patiently, the ball didn't stay in the hands of one person, but all the Lakers players were involved in the offense, so that the overall rhythm of our Lakers team became faster.

To be honest, after the game got here, our Lakers team has made some changes, before our Lakers team would rely more on certain players, such as me and Shaq's singles to play, but Shaq did not participate in this game, so our Lakers team had to use the team's overall strength to play against opponents.

It's a very meaningful thing for us, because this kind of coordination and chemistry in this game is far more meaningful than the victory or defeat of these two games, and if we can find a way to play team basketball, then we don't need to rely too much on offensive powerhouses like me and Shaq to complete the game in any game.

At least in regulation time we have a completely different game plan to choose from, so that Shaq and I can get enough rest and not have to try to score every game, so that even though our stats are very good, the team will probably be able to do well. But in the long run, it is very detrimental to the progress and development of our Lakers team as a whole.

If a lot of players don't get workouts, and Shaq and I are over-exerting ourselves in the regular season, then we won't be able to do that consistently in the long run, especially given the state of the playoffs.

It's only when we find a form where we can play team basketball well in regular time that we really have a chance to go far in the playoffs.

The ball didn't stay in my hands this time, when I held the ball and consciously let the ball not stay in my hands, I would try to find a teammate in the running position as soon as possible, and then pass the ball out, if my teammate didn't get a good shot, I would run without the ball again.

When I run a good open opportunity, my teammates will find me at the first time and pass the ball over, which is a big change for us as a whole Lakers team.

There is not much time left in the second quarter, we have played back and forth with the Jazz in this quarter, with the change of the Jazz's defensive tactics, our Lakers side has also made some changes to our own offensive tactics and offensive methods, to be honest, the situation on the basketball court is always changing rapidly, you better not focus on any one thing.

In the last two minutes of the second quarter, I completely turned on my scoring mode, because Stockton is now having a hard time defending me directly, and Hornacek is even worse defensively, so the Jazz are now either playing with me or letting me score.

They seem to be betting that I can't be in good shape all the time, because the Jazz are that kind of team team, so they don't want our Lakers to play on the offensive end all at once, so more often than not, they will also play man-to-man defense against the rest of our Lakers players, in order not to let our entire Lakers team play.

Thinking that when I was back in form, they changed their defensive tactics, but now they don't work against me, so they change to man-to-man defense.

The key problem is that when I'm in good shape, all the other defensive styles don't work very well for me, because even if they can interfere with my offensive form for a certain period of time, they have to pay a price for it.

I can't even remember how many points I've scored on top of Stockton's head in a row, but I think I can score at least 10 points in the second quarter in the second quarter, and a lot of my balls are the kind of shots that Stockton can shoot when the defense is in place.

This kind of unreasonable shooting is very demoralizing to the overall morale of the Jazz team.

Even a big guy like Stockton who has a lot of mental quality is not very calm when it comes to my crazy attacking state at this time, and I even seem to hear some trash talk from him.

Well, Stockton not only has a lot of small gestures, but he is also a very good trash talker, so what can I do in this situation, I have to rise to the challenge, and sooner or later I have to face the style of play of the old players from their era, and I am actually more comfortable with their basketball philosophy.

For their provocations and trash talk attacks, I can basically maintain a relatively calm mind, as long as you can keep a calm mindset, then the opponent will not actually be able to defeat you.

It is often you who can defeat you, and you have to have a certain amount of psychological tolerance.

It's just that when I hit the back, my fitness has dropped a little, and I just remembered that I was also the second game of the back-to-back away game, and I spent the whole day on the training ground today, and now in the second quarter I have put a lot of energy on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, if I am still energetic at this time, I am afraid that is the real ghost thing.

Even though I felt like my fitness was dropping, I still had to grit my teeth and hold on to the Jazz until the end of the first half.

Now our Lakers have a chance to play the last offense before the end of the first half, and the Jazz are only two points ahead of us at this time, which means that our Lakers have a chance to smooth the difference or even overtake before the end of the first half, and if we can really do this, then everything is still unknown after the start of the second half.

Anything can happen on the basketball court, as a professional player, don't doubt your ability at any time, even if you are in a state of extreme disadvantage, but as long as you keep working hard and don't give up hope, then anything can happen.

This is reflected in many, many times.

I kept my eyes on the Jazz's basket, adjusting my breath and preparing to launch the final offense of the first half.
