Chapter 369: The Impact of 28

Mutombo and Stockton fell at the same time, but it certainly wasn't the former who stood up, and Mutombo's old face was almost twisted in pain when he was carried down.

The Lakers players saw that Mutombo was still covering his vital parts before leaving, and all of them stood on the sidelines with a "scared" expression, watching the unlucky eggs drift away.

Zhang Yu was also a little flustered, he instantly felt that his palm was really a small injury with a big fart!

The Lakers players didn't get to see what kind of blow Mutombo suffered at that time, and everyone only knows that after the double brakes completed the pick-and-roll, Mutombo had a physical contact with the disassembled Stockton.

In fact, not only the Lakers players didn't see it clearly, but the fans in front of the TV didn't see it very really, even through the slow-motion replay, everyone just saw that the two had a close contact, and it should be the contact of the lower body, because Mutombo fell down with 28, it should have been accidentally bounced Dingding, but everyone is not sure how serious the injury is.

Of course, the referee didn't show a technical foul to Stockton with such an unrealistic collision, or even to anyone, it was just an accident, and the ball still belonged to the Jazz.

Zhang Yi immediately protested to the referee, but he didn't dare to protest too much, because he already had a technical foul on his body, and if he ate another technical foul, the Lakers would lose two generals, and the game would not have to be played.

But even if only Mutombo is broken, the Lakers can't afford such a blow.

Mutombo is their interior defensive gate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the defensive core of the whole team, because whether it is interior defense or outside defense, most of the Lakers have to count on Mutombo to take the lead, this person is too important to the Lakers' defense.

Malone and McDies didn't play badly today, but it was difficult for either of them to score against Mutombo, and if there was no top-notch blocking to weaken Mutombo's defense, the Jazz's double-front lineup would likely be blocked by Mutombo alone.

Harris realized that he had not found the offensive lifeblood of the Jazz, because no matter how the Jazz's tactics played, they always had to play between Stockton and the two interior players, and this triangle was the real core of the Jazz on the offensive end.

Therefore, it is only necessary to defend this triangle and launch a strict defense from Stockton, Zhang Zhu and Mutombo will hold the Jazz's double front, and the remaining two outside lines can be handed over to Jones and Starks to defend alone, that is, to split the defense into two pieces, will this have a better effect?

But now without Mutombo, the Lakers are useless to divide the defense into several pieces, and they really have to revolve around Mutombo on the defensive end to make a difference, which is why Lao Dog can easily win the best defensive player, and he plays an irreplaceable role in the Lakers' defensive system.

After the game restarted, the cooperation between Malone and Stockton immediately helped the Jazz score four points in a row, and the Lakers' interior line basically became transparent.

In the first minute and 50 seconds, Zhang Zhu faced a double defense on the left wing, and hit another turn jumper, and his left-handed shot was already about to break through the sky.

At this time, Zhang Mao's personal score has risen to 46 points, and he made 5 three-pointers alone in the final quarter, and he has already scored 21 points in this quarter, and his left hand is also unstoppable for the Jazz.

But without Mutombo on the defensive end, the Lakers had a deadly crisis on defense and couldn't prevent the Jazz's offense at all.

Ben Wallace and Mason are also a duo of big forwards, but one lacks mobility and the other experience, which makes them particularly passive when facing pick-and-rolls.

Everyone knows that to defend the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense, the most indispensable thing is mobility and experience, and it is not enough to have the ability to fight, otherwise O'Neal will not be hurt as soon as he meets the Jazz.

In the 1st minute and 24 seconds, Stockton assisted McDyce to complete a beautiful 2+1, Big Ben stuck the position of the ball and made a defensive move in time, but McDyce only used a small trick on the time difference, which made Big Ben's excellent defense become a mistake that was no different from a mistake.

Zhang Qi knows that he can't blame Daben, a successful defender must experience countless mistakes and mistakes, and without these failures, no one can mature. It's just that the Lakers don't have a margin for these young people to grow up now, what they need is mature players who have been tempered, but except for Mutombo and Mason, the rest of the Lakers' interior line lacks tempering.

McDeisga hit a free throw to make it 90-101, and the Jazz extended the margin to 11 points again.

Zhang Yu knew that today's game was cold, but Mutombo's revenge could not be avenged!

It is still unknown what the old dog's injury is, if it is really serious, then this is to stir up the revenge of Huang Huang to defend his title.

After the Lakers lack Mutombo, they must at least lose three or four successes on the defensive end, especially against teams like the Jazz and the Bulls.

As a result, the best scene of the game occurred in the last 56 seconds......

After stealing Eric, Zhang Zhu deliberately waited for Stockton and Lao Huo to catch up, and after the three of them jumped together, Zhang Zhu directly pushed a guilty knee in the direction of Stockton's **.

Zhang Yu had no intention of making a layup at this time, he just wanted to blow up this vicious guy, and it was best to let Stockton's entire series be reimbursed, then it would be really a retribution.

However, Stockton is too familiar with this kind of action, he didn't go to the top Zhang Mao has already given a lot of face, and I heard that the koala baby's 28 is the first leader in the Lakers, this kind of person used to be the object of his "caressing", if it weren't for the fact that this koala's son and godson were too powerful, he should have been carried down just now.

Stockton subconsciously wanted to pad it after landing, but he finally knew that Zhang Mao couldn't be yin, and it was really not good to be yin, in case this koala took the opportunity to kick his ankle, it would be bad.

Zhang Qian did this kind of thing in the previous game, not only kicked Ma Long's ankle, but also stepped on the surface of his feet, it is not so easy to really yin such a guy, just like Zhang Zhu is not good at yin him.

Therefore, Stockton adhered to the principle of taking a step back and opening up the sky, and finally chose to fall down with a scream, and then cheated Zhang Yu for a technical foul, which was the best choice for the Jazz.

The referee did not let go of Zhang Mao's obvious revenge this time, and his knee was too obvious, obviously to take revenge on Stockton for Mutombo. Although anyone can guess that Stockton was definitely not clean just now, everything must have evidence to convict, and Zhang Yu was caught with evidence this time, so naturally he could not escape punishment.

Official history: In the last minute of the 1998 NBA Western Conference Finals, the beloved baby koala was shown a second technical foul for a malicious foul on Stockton and was immediately ejected from the game.

Now back to the real scene, Zhang's kick obviously didn't work out, and Stockton quickly stood up after the referee showed a technical foul, but the koala baby won the applause of the audience for his violent behavior.

He took revenge on Stockton with a top knee and became a hero in the eyes of fans.

However, this kind of behavior is of course wrong, and countering violence with violence will not solve the problem most of the time, it will only further make it more difficult to solve the problem, and the situation will fall into a "dead circle".

Moreover, Zhang Mao's mind is not to avenge Mutombo at all, he is more like letting the Jazz's strength suffer the same loss as the Lakers, which is very disgraceful.

As soon as Zhang was sent out, the Jazz were completely in control of the situation on the court, and the Purple and Gold had no chance to turn the tables, and finally the Jazz defeated the Lakers 103-92 and unexpectedly won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

Lakers (0) VS (1) Jazz.

This is a situation that few people predicted before the Western Conference Finals began, and Salt Lake City fans also put the victory and defeat on their own home court, hoping to fight the Lakers until Game 7. But until then, most Jazz fans thought it would be difficult for them to grab even one win in the Lakers' first three home games, as the Lakers had not lost at home this season, and their two wins in the regular season were only based on home court advantage.

After Zhang was sent off, he went straight to the locker room to find Mutombo, and the bastard theory is still more important than Kidd, because there is no one to replace him.

Mutombo, of course, is no longer there, and it is said that the creature cried in fright after being carried to the locker room, and asked the team doctor with a sad face if his little Tintin would lose his physiological reactions.

In good conscience, that area, once injured, is worse than McHale's lameness.

If Mutombo had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose to make his 28 unharmed, even if he was lame, and don't ask why, only some stupid author would choose to ask for the Sunflower Book over Tintin.

"It's really useless to cry in fright!"

When Zhang Zhu heard that Mutombo was carried to the ambulance crying, he suddenly had a crying and laughing expression, which was too unproductive.

But he thought that if Mutombo's legs and feet were fine, it would be better if they were broken! Hehe, so that he can focus all his energy on the court, and it is estimated that he can maintain a certain amount of dominance until the age of 40, how nice it is!

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Qian suddenly felt that it was a burden for Mutombo to keep that thing, and it would be better if his teammates were all damaged by 28, without the drag of that thing, their competitive state would not decline until the age of 40, not to mention 3 consecutive championships, even 10 consecutive championships are not impossible.

The game ended soon, Zhang Zhu watched his teammates walk in with their heads drooping, and some people also took the initiative to apologize to him, which shows that his obscenity has been fully exposed, and it is rare for players to apologize to the boss after losing, how afraid of him!

At the post-game press conference, reporters naturally asked him about his bright knee foul, and asked very bluntly: Was that foul a counter to violence?

Zhang's answer made the reporter who asked the question unable to react, because he directly admitted: "Yes, but it was a false demonstration, and it will only create more chaos for the game." Zhang Zhu was like commenting on something that had nothing to do with him at this time, "If the players are all here to solve the problem by themselves, then what do you need the referee to do?" So, I'm glad I didn't succeed, and if I hurt him at the time, it wouldn't erase his sin, but it would make me commit a new original sin and make me a villain like him. ”

"You mean, Stockton is a villain?"

"I don't have the right to say he is, but if you take a survey of all the players in the NBA and ask them who is the dirtiest guard in the NBA? Guess what they will answer? ”

Zhang Qi said how good it was before, but this remark tasted a bit of a personal attack.

Of course, he is not worried at all, the upper echelons have their own godson covering, coupled with the good attitude of admitting mistakes before, the alliance will never punish him.

Besides, Mutombo doesn't know what to do yet, and it's Stockton that needs to be worried.

Zhang Zhu guessed correctly, David Stern has already begun to consider whether to ban Stockton in the next game, and now he must balance the strength of the two teams, and the Lakers must not fall behind 0:2.

At the post-game press conference, Salt Lake City reporters certainly couldn't watch Stockton being humiliated, and one of them sneered at Zhang: "If John is a villain, then how are you different from him?" Have you forgotten how you hurt Carl last year? ”

Zhang Mao's expression was very bad, but what he said was even more unbeatable: "Because when needed, good people will also become villains." ”

"When you've got your knee outstretched, do you still feel qualified to say those things?"

"What's the use of continuing to be a gentleman if you're a hooligan?"

"That said, you still think it's right to fight violence with violence? Is that what you mean? ”

"I don't want to say that, because countering violence with violence can never solve the problem, but the probability of success in countering violence with violence is greater than convincing people with virtue, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Qi didn't say it, but he did feel in his heart that sometimes it is a good way to fight violence with violence, because forbearance will only make the other party worse. However, as a public figure, what he said was too straightforward is not good after all, these words have gone too far, and it is not appropriate to discuss this topic now, so he will not answer questions related to this later.

But soon, the reporter's question turned to the Lakers' regretful loss.

Zhang Mao had a fire in his heart, he didn't think this word was used well, and immediately interrupted the other party: "Losing is losing, there is no 'regret to lose'." We're going to win the championship or we're going to do it empty-handed, it's as simple as that. ”

"No one thought before the game that the Lakers would lose, did you think of it?" This is yet another question full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Zhang Yu didn't show an angry expression on his face, he leaned back in the chair behind him, and said: "Everyone wants the Lakers to lose, if we lose one day, they will make it a public holiday, and what I can't think about now is, will they really do it?" ”

The koala baby could have left a long time ago, but he didn't seem to care at all about these sarcastic and mocking questions, which meant that he was ready to fight the crowd here.

Jerry West knows that Zhang Qian's current mentality is not right, of course he can't let this little guy continue to spray reporters, this is not what a team leader should do, even if he is in a bad mood, he can't vent in this way.

After the Lakers lost the first game, not only Zhang Mao's heart was not happy, but the big guys were in a bad mood, especially Mutombo's injury is unknown now, Zhang Mao should not continue to worry about them here, it is good to have this kung fu to the young lady, this way of venting is much more scientific than fighting with reporters.

Zhang Zhu was finally dragged away by Jerry West, and he originally wanted to see Mutombo in the hospital with his teammates, but he was immediately kindly reminded that Mutombo should not want to see a certain Lakers No. 1 28 dangling in front of him after being injured in that part, so the koala baby can only go home to find the young lady.

Of course, Zhang Zhu must simulate the game without Mutombo tonight, although I don't know how much impact the injury will have there, let alone how long he will rest, but at least the next game should not be available, the Lakers must be prepared to be without Mutombo, Zhang Zhu can first see how big the impact is in virtual training?
