Chapter 368: Two Ghosts Knock on the Door
It wasn't until these Lakers fans heard the narrator's introduction that they finally understood that it was the Lakers who fell behind by 20 points in the first quarter? But it can't be, right?
Zhang Yu didn't believe that this was the score played by his own team, the Jazz and the Spurs played the sixth game, and they only had one day off to start playing with themselves, and they rested for four days.
"I'm going to defend against McDyce!"
Zhang Wei didn't wait for Harris to open his mouth this time, and he took the initiative to ask to defend McDyce. This guy is about the same height and weight as himself, but his speed, agility and confrontation are not as good as his own, and he doesn't believe that McDice can make another 2+1 on him.
Harris said secretly: It's great that you take the initiative to go up and send it, the Jazz are great on the inside, as long as Mutombo and Zhang Zhu can block the restricted area, these 20 points are not impossible to recover.
It's clear that Harris is the quintessential crow's beak.
The Jazz don't just win on the inside, they also have the ability to kill on the outside.
In the second quarter, Zhang Yu naturally didn't have to rest, and most of the main forces were continued to be thrown on the court to chase points.
Harris also wants to use a substitute, but in addition to Mason on the inside, he can only use Big Ben or O'Neal Jr., Battle can't play a game of this intensity, and there will be no role for him after the second round, and even those two young insiders are not very reliable.
The Jazz switched to a semi-main lineup in the second quarter: Stockton, Christie, Bryan, Malone, Ostertag.
Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed, he was not facing McDyce, but Ma Long, who was bigger than him in size and size.
After the start of the second quarter, the Jazz's hot hand in the first quarter continued, Christie hit a mid-range jumper, Bryan hit a jumper, and Malone forced a layup.
The Lakers didn't make a big mistake on the defensive end, but they just couldn't prevent the Jazz players, fortunately, they themselves gradually found the rhythm of the game, the Lakers scored 10 points in less than 5 minutes in the second quarter, and the players' individual abilities gradually reflected, especially the breakthrough of Zhang Zhu and Kidd, the Jazz didn't have a good way to defend against the two of them, Stockton is old, and Malone is even more unlikely to be able to prevent Zhang Mao, this kind of mutual explosion is the normal rhythm of the game.
Zhang Wei knew that it would not work to play like this, and if the 20+ point difference was to be recovered, the Lakers must play a few attack waves, or let the Jazz fall into a long-term scoring drought, otherwise it will be difficult to get the situation back.
But before the Lakers can find a way to narrow the difference, Sloan has already begun to find a way to limit Zhang Qi.
The Jazz's defensive formation began to expand outward, disrupting the Lakers' passing and receiving the ball, and McDyes's close follow-up defense kept forcing him out, leaving only one Malone in the restricted area.
This kind of formation is often encountered by the Lakers, and many teams want to use Mutombo's offensive flaws to press out the defense line to deal with the Lakers' outside line, which is also the best way to deal with the Lakers, but the effect of each team is good and bad, and the Jazz's double front lineup has played a role that is not inferior to the Spurs' twin towers.
This is because to deal with Zhang Zhu's breakthrough, height alone is not enough, you must have enough mobility and confrontation ability, so Duncan and Mourning are more suitable for dealing with Zhang Zhu, although the combination of McDyce and Malone is not the best candidate, but the two also have the ability to interfere with Zhang Zhu's last shot, unless Zhang Zhu does not go to the penalty area to complete the attack.
This is obviously impossible, although Zhang Zhu has accurate mid-range shots, but in this kind of node where he must chase points with high efficiency, he can only choose to play the success rate close to the basket, otherwise a few shots will miss, and the game will be GG.
The Jazz are taking advantage of the Lakers' psychology of chasing points, seemingly emptying the inside, but in fact, no matter Zhang Yu or other people's breakthroughs, McDyess and Malone will return to the basket as soon as possible to form a pair of defensive nets that are not high enough, but definitely fast enough and powerful.
Harris was a little confused, so why not just let go of the outside line and make the box more encrypted and impermeable?
This is where Sloan is smart, he doesn't want to give the Lakers a chance to explode three points, and although the Jazz's double-big front can't keep the restricted area solid, it can really reduce the scoring efficiency of Lakers players, and at the same time keep the outside line from showing flaws, which is enough for them to hold a 20-point lead.
Sloan has now changed his tactics to defensive counterattacks, and the Lakers are chasing two points and two points, even if they can play 2-of-1 efficiency, as long as their own offense is not a big problem, the Lakers will have to endure if they want to catch up with 20 points. And the biggest possibility is that as long as the Lakers have a few consecutive misses, or are hit by them a few counterattacks, the Lakers will really want GG.
In the last 4 minutes and 45 seconds of the first half, Zhang Qi first scored two points from a distance, and then made two foul free throws, and Kidd also broke through to the layup to receive two points. However, Lakers fans were not happy, because this offensive only chased the score to 29:46, and the difference between the two teams was still as high as 17 points.
Harris had to call a timeout, and he made a gamble at this point, and Zhang was moved back to the No. 3 position, and the Lakers switched to a purely defensive interior combination — Big Ben and Mutombo.
Zhang Wei immediately understood that Harris was going to put the burden of offense on him alone, or rather, this was to put the offense all on the outside, and there was only one task on the inside now, and that was to defend.
Mutombo has the ability to defend Malone or McDyes, but these two power forwards with a range close to the three-point line can only do a two-choice question, so to really lock the Jazz's interior line, Mutombo has to have a partner who can defend these two alone.
Zhang Zhu has this ability, but the Lakers can't just defend, they still have to attack, if the burden is all on Zhang Zhu, he can't play his 100% offensive firepower, and Zhang Zhu, who is in the fourth position, can't get off the fast attack at the first time, and the Lakers' fast attack threat will be reduced a lot, which is of course unacceptable when it is necessary to chase points.
So, the problem is still in the first quarter, if it weren't for falling too far behind in the first quarter, Harris wouldn't have to take risks now, and now he can't take care of many crises if he wants to chase points.
Harris's biggest regret now is to let O'Neal Jr. play the starter as soon as his brain is hot, even if Mason can't prevent those two guys, at least he won't let the Jazz take the opportunity to play a 20+ point difference.
So the conclusion is that the young man is really unreliable, he must have a convulsion in his brain to trust these young players.
After the timeout, Zhang began to play with Kidd as fast as the tempo, and more rounds would give them more opportunities to close the score.
However, Stockton is also a good player at controlling the tempo, and the Jazz team knows how to slow down the tempo, even forcing the Lakers' offense to slow down. That's something they absolutely have the ability to do. However, it is still impossible for the Jazz to limit Zhang Mao's scoring, and the Koala baby continues to dribble and force the inside, and the efficiency is not low, and after another wave of 8:3 mini-climax, the Lakers finally narrowed the gap to 12 points.
However, there was not much time left in the first half, and Zhang only had time to narrow the score to 40-52 before halftime, and they still went into the second half with a double-digit deficit.
Looking at the player's data at the moment, Zhang Mao should have forgotten what he said before the game, he contributed more than half of the 40 points scored by the Lakers in the first half, and his performance of 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the half made people really can't find anything wrong except for accusing him of failing to score four or five doubles.
And that's what he wanted before the game.
Today, Zhang Wei didn't plan to get three or four doubles, he didn't plan to mention the four doubles and five doubles again, he was deliberately selling off before the game, hoping that those black fans could continue to find fault with him when he got forty or fifty points.
What is one black and ten powders, this is it.
He can imagine that when passers-by and fans see that they cut forty or fifty points and lead the team to win, but a bunch of black fans pick bones in the eggs, shouting that he has to take four pairs and five pairs or something like that, this will naturally contribute to the effect of one black and ten fans, after all, people with normal IQ still account for the majority.
But all this has to be built on winning, if he loses, even if he gets 50 points, it will still attract criticism, let alone contribute to the effect of one black and ten fans.
On the other hand, the Jazz players did not show a smile when they came off the court, if the first quarter made them feel that they had won today, then at this time, looking at the scoreboard that was narrowed down to 12 points by the Lakers, they were no longer sure of winning.
The Lakers recovered 8 points in this quarter, and if they continue to play like this, the Jazz are likely to be caught up in the third quarter, and they can still laugh.
Sloan was trying to find a way to curb the Lakers' offense in the middle of the court, and he didn't feel that it was a wrong decision to hold on to the advantage, but he had to take advantage of those opportunities to fight back in order to dampen the Lakers' momentum of chasing points and hold on to their victory.
But that's easier said than done. Zhang Zhu's hanging ratio can't be prevented at all, and whoever takes the Clippers' defensive strategy in Game 4 as a model will definitely die several times worse than the Clippers. Jazz only used a proper double bag for Zhang Yu today, and didn't dare to send too many people to deal with him alone.
In the second half, Zhang Yu came up and hit a jump shot, proving with his actions that the double bag couldn't prevent him.
Stockton turned his head and also assisted Malone to make a layup, Mutombo did not lose the ball, Malone used his broad shoulders to create space for himself, and Mutombo stretched out his arm and couldn't cover it, which belonged to the overlord hard bow.
After Zhang Yu came back, he changed his way to play his opponent, and he began to sit and fight inside, which was a way to save his physical strength and consume his opponent's physical strength.
Eric Williams didn't play his 86 ability value today, it is difficult for him to play well on the offensive end when he passively focuses on the defensive end, and Zhang Fu's crushing body and technique do not give him a chance to shine, like this kind of quasi-all-star, even an all-star-level small forward, generally has no sense of existence in front of Zhang Mao, and now the player who can score 20+ points in front of Zhang Qi must at least be a quasi-supergiant.
Zhang Qi's back was not able to carry the 235-pound Eric, which was not only a 15-pound weight gap, but also a quality gap. Eric can feel that his defense of Zhang Mao's back has a feeling of defending Ma Long, don't look at the two people's bodies are another lap apart, but the impact that Zhang Zhu brings him is no worse than Ma Long.
The fans in front of the TV saw Eric's face flushed from the close-up camera, but he still stepped back one step, two steps, and three steps, and the Jazz players also saw that this was really unbearable, so they could only assign people to help.
Zhang Qi didn't pass the ball, he didn't distrust his teammates, but wanted to play a 2+1.
"Go down to you!"
Ma Long looked for a chance for a long time, and when he went up, he slapped the person down.
Zhang Qi fell not lightly this time, but he couldn't let out the gas in his stomach.
Although Ma Long was bad now, he didn't have the intention of hurting people, at most he made his hands numb for a while, that's all.
Zhang Zhu himself has used this trick, although it is not a trick on the stage, but it is more useful to use the right time than to shoot people down, especially when the opponent feels hot and can't prevent it, then you might as well have some yin, the gang leader was so yin by him at the beginning.
The Lakers now rely on Zhang Mao's personal ability, and if he misses a few shots at this time, the situation of the Lakers is uncertain.
Sure enough, before the next attack, Zhang Mao's two free throws had an accident, and the result of missing both free throws was obviously not a reflection of his ninety percent free throw shooting rate, and Malone showed a small smile of revenge next to him.
The Jazz attacked, McDies forced Mason on the offensive end this time, and Zhang Yu turned around and missed another shot on the offensive end.
I have to say, this little trick is really useful, Ma Long just made his palm still hot for a while, and it is estimated that he will have to numb it later, just now his breakthrough almost made a dribble error, and he practiced the weak side hand dribble this season, otherwise it would be really fatal.
Harris is very experienced, and when he saw this, he immediately asked for a timeout, ready to let Zhang Qi come down and rest for a while, plus the timeout time, should be able to create a few minutes of rest for Zhang Qi.
Of course, Zhang Qi will not refuse, although his left hand also has the ability to shoot, but after all, it has not been particularly strengthened, this kind of game is not too daring to take out, and now is the time for his teammates to stand up.
Wilkins topped the No. 3 spot, but of course it was impossible to count on him, and Kidd and Jones had to show some East skills for Lakers fans to see.
Kidd really has a lot of things, Zhang Zhu is not there now, he is in control of the team.
But to be honest, how much ability Kidd has, even many Lakers players have not forced the number, and now no one knows that Kidd in another time and space has already played a leading role in the Suns at this time, and led the Suns to 56 wins in the regular season.
Kidd of this time and space is countless times stronger in honor, but he has not really proved himself, because in everyone's opinion, his honor was brought to him by Zhang Zhu, he is a guy with a thigh, at most he has a better defense, and the organization is not bad, but without Zhang Qi he is nothing.
That's right, this is also the label that Zhang Mao's behind-the-scenes team created for Kidd, and many times even Xiao Zhengtai himself feels that he can really only succeed by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Stockton certainly doesn't think so, although the Jazz have a 20+ lead over the Lakers today, Kidd's defense against him has been in place, and several breakaways have made him complain. But the most unpleasant thing is that he can't even make some tricks, Kidd is much stronger than last season in his eyes, in fact, he has been worried that this little guy will break through himself, because he really can't stop it!
It's really hard for Stockton to defend Kidd this year, especially Kidd, who has never been injured, and the gap between the two of them in athleticism has been very wide, even so big that Kidd is enough to blow up Stockton with his body.
Zhang began to wave a towel for his younger brother off the court, and Kidd easily entered the interior in the face of Stockton, and then pierced the Jazz's entire defense with a ground-and-ground pass, assisting Wilkins to complete the layup.
This kind of abruptness is obviously different from Zhang Zhu's style.
Kidd's breakaways mostly ended in passes, which also made his non-top-notch explosiveness and speed irrelevant. Because he has to observe the movement of his teammates, he is too fast to have time to observe, and now this kind of athleticism is just right for him.
In the four minutes that Zhang Qi sat off the court, Kidd entered the burst mode, and all the resources originally prepared by the Lakers for Zhang Qi were given to Kidd, although the Jazz's defense rarely really lost position, but it couldn't block Kidd's pass, and the result was that the guy who usually hid behind Zhang Qiu played a wave of 12:4 attacks.
At 4:55 in the third quarter, the Lakers chased the score to 56:65, and Zhang Mao faced a single-digit margin narrowed by his teammates when he came on the court.
"That's not good!"
Zhang Wei keenly smelled a smell of backlash, and after Kidd led the team to a 12-4 attack wave, the Jazz had already begun to fight back.
He played by 9 points when he played, but the smallest difference was 3 points before, and the Jazz played a small 8-2 surge after that, and he now came up to meet the Jazz who were on the counterattack.
Of course, as the absolute core of the team, he should step up and stabilize the situation at this time.
But no matter how strong the star is, he can't guarantee that he will not drop the chain at a critical moment every time, today's Zhang Yu dropped the chain, and the koala baby whose palms were still a little numb after playing the court, missed two shots in a row and added a mistake, the Jazz pulled the difference to 16 points in one breath, and the Lakers only scored 4 points in the last five minutes of the quarter.
After the first three quarters, the score was 76:60, and the Lakers' scoring drought made the home team fans who were originally relaxed dare not breathe again, and many people have begun to scold the Lakers for playing match-fixing.
It is said that today's handicap is optimistic that the Lakers will win Bo1, but if the Lakers lose unexpectedly at home, I don't know how many people will line up on the rooftop after the game.
"What's the deal if it doesn't feel good? This can only be blamed on the Malone bastard! ”
Zhang Zhu felt the paralysis of his palm begin to disappear after playing this quarter, Ma Long's yin trick made him miss the ball in the third quarter, and his teammates were not very strong in the second half, including Kidd's play for a while was also based on the premise that his teammates shot the ball, and most of Xiao Zhengtai's own shots were also iron.
The Lakers' combined 41 percent shooting in the third quarter was 11 percentage points behind the Jazz's 52 percent shooting, and it's not surprising that score.
Harris didn't have much to do about this situation, and the Jazz's stubborn strategy he discovered in the first half, but the problem now is that the hole dug in the first quarter is too big, and their rush to chase points will inevitably affect offensive efficiency, in fact, except for the first quarter, they are leading in the second and third quarters.
In the fourth quarter, Zhang Wei felt that it was no longer possible to chase two points and two points, even if he knew that the opponent was on the outside line, he had to shoot three points.
However, the result of the head iron has always been ineffective, Zhang Fu missed the three-point shot and complained to the referee that the opponent was not awarded a beater, and received another technical foul.
The koala baby naturally thought that the referee was going to do something, and he guessed right, this referee was really going to do something, but it wasn't the Lakers that they were targeting.
Of course, the Jazz thought that they were taken care of by the referees, and it was not many for Zhang to be shown to be fouled by this kind of skill, but when Malone was judged to have committed a foul for grabbing a backcourt rebound, Sloane immediately knew that things were not so simple.
But the Lakers' offense was really too impatient, and Starks missed three points, but fortunately, Big Ben made a contribution this time, he grabbed the rebound in the front court and immediately passed the ball to Zhang Mao.
Zhang Yu didn't try to score three points again this time, since he didn't feel good, he continued to break through and see if he could play 2+1.
This choice is really much more reliable than a strong three-point shot, McDyes's raised right hand made Jazz fans realize that something was wrong, Zhang Yu really fought for the Lakers to get a 2+1, and the referee's decision seemed to be biased in favor of one side.
Looking at the foul stats again, Jazz fans know it's not good.
Malone committed four fouls, McDaces committed four fouls, and the Jazz's inside line suddenly sounded the alarm!
Lakers players also saw the weakness of the Jazz, and a group of people began to take the initiative to find Malone and McDyes, as long as these two were beaten down, they didn't have to worry.
With a big wave of his hand, the perimeter players hurried up to pad their backs and continue to defend with all their might.
In the fourth quarter, a lead of about 15 points, as long as it does not show too many flaws, and occasionally makes a few counterattacks, it is enough to keep the advantage to the end.
Sloan's idea remains the same, of course, at this time, he must defend to the death, no matter how strong the Lakers' offensive power is, as long as they ensure that they score 15 points in the final quarter and do not let the opponent score 25 points, then they can win the game.
But he ignored that once the momentum is played, difficult goals are nothing to these NBA stars, especially Zhang Zhu and Jordan, not to mention helping the team score more than 20 points, even if they score more than 20 points in a single quarter, it is not too miraculous behavior, they often do this kind of thing!
Zhang Zhu's side caused Stockton to make up for the foul and scored two goals on the offensive end, turned his head and broke through again and had to repeat the old tricks, which was really to use his personal ability to complete the turnaround.
But this time Ma Long can't let Zhang Fu succeed anymore, he knows that he may not be able to hold it like this, especially when Zhang Fu's feeling begins to recover, and he must be quieted down again.
The "postman" classmate is really yin today, and when he thought of this, he slapped Zhang Zhu's wrist again, and suddenly Zhang Zhu's right hand, which had only recovered with great difficulty, was hit again, and the whole hand was numb in an instant.
"Fuck you, uncle!"
Zhang Fu's first reaction after being yin was to blow up Ma Long's other lung, forget it once, now you are looking for your own death!
But when he looked up and saw Ma Long's mocking smile, his head immediately reacted, this bastard definitely deliberately provoked him and wanted to lure him to revenge.
The koala baby quickly calmed down, because compared to his own actions last year, Malone was really tickling these two times.
The referee will not give a technical foul, if he goes to retaliate against Ma Long, then he will really eat a technical foul, now is not the time to get excited!
Malone is very witty now, although it only makes Zhang Qiu's right hand lose its combat effectiveness, this level of revenge can't make him ashamed at all, but if the Lakers can lose this game, this can be regarded as revenge to a certain extent.
Ma Long was very helpless, he didn't want to tickle like this, of course he wanted Zhang Yu to pay a heavy price, and even wanted to abolish the other party.
But he can't do this, now the whole world doesn't want to see him hurt Zhang Mao, there are too many interests involved here, and it's hard to say whether he dares to play like this and whether he will survive this summer.
Therefore, at present, this level of revenge is already the limit, and Ma Long knows very well that no matter how heavy he is, as long as the injury can affect Zhang Fu's normal performance in this round of the series, he will not want to play a full game in the next few games.
Zhang Yu also calmed down, and the red marks and pain on his wrists and palms let him know that he was afraid that his right hand was not a threat today, and this bastard actually came to this set, it was really hateful!
Harris hurriedly called another timeout, but this time he couldn't replace Zhang again, and a few minutes were not enough for his right hand to recover.
Facts have also proved that just a few minutes is indeed not enough.
After Zhang Qi returned to the court, he missed two free throws in a row, which made Malone feel that his five fouls were worth it.
At 9:49 in the fourth quarter, the score was 65:82, and the Lakers trailed by 17 points.
Zhang missed two free throws, Malone also missed on the offensive end, and the two teams played a minute and a half of iron time each until Christie helped the Jazz hit a key three-pointer from the outside, which brought the difference between the two teams to 20 points again.
"It's over!"
"I'm going to jump off the building now!"
"Carl Malone, I'm going to kill you!"
“……”
These voices are of course from desperate gamblers, who are 20 points behind in the last 8 minutes, unless Zhang Mao can have another "koala moment" that occurs once in 50 years, otherwise they are on the rooftop.
Zhang Qi looked at his right hand, it didn't hurt so much after the ice just now, but the numbness was still very strong, and his right hand couldn't recover within a few hours.
But this state of affairs made it impossible for him to grasp the power of the shot, and he missed another shot in the first minute and a half, and the dribble was a little stiff.
"Left hand?"
Zhang Yu can only look at his left hand, he has trained his left hand to shoot, but the amount of training is not comparable to that of his right hand, usually in training, or when participating in the show, it is nothing to pretend to be nothing, but in the playoffs, it seems to be a bit big?
"Boss, I'll dribble the ball for you."
Kidd rubbed over at this time, and then said a big rebellious thing in a very light tone.
"Good!"
Zhang Qian didn't show dissatisfaction, at this time he really needed Kidd to help him complete the breakthrough task, he used his left hand to complete the second baton of the relay, and he should still be able to do it.
Sloan didn't feel anything wrong, Kidd had been attacking for a while before, and now there seemed to be something wrong with Zhang Mao's right hand, and it was normal to switch to Kidd's main attack. Just now he told the players to be careful of Kidd's breakthrough, Zhang Mao should not be the main attacker, and he can relax his defense appropriately, but the team is still defense-oriented.
But what Sloane didn't expect was that Zhang Fu's left hand scored for the first time out of the sheath!
Let's talk about Kidd first, Xiao Zhengtai has gained confidence in the face of Stockton before, this old guy can't stop himself this year, although even if he can't stop it, he may not be able to score, but the pass is no problem, he wants to stir up the Jazz defense and make the chickens and dogs restless, as long as his teammates give him enough resources, he can create enough opportunities for his teammates.
Now, Zhang Fu's resources are temporarily handed over to Kidd.
In the NBA, most starters are basically capable of playing good statistics as long as they are given enough resources. Of course, whether the efficiency is good or not is another matter, and whether you win or not is the key to whether you are qualified to ask for resources.
At this moment, under Kidd's mobilization and sudden separation, and at the same time, with the Jazz stubbornly defending, the Lakers began to control the situation on the court.
At 7 minutes and 30 seconds, Zhang Fu and Kidd staged a wonderful cooperation, and the koala baby circled around the baseline twice, and finally ran outside the weak-side three-point line under the cover of his baseline teammates, and successfully received Kidd's score and hit a three-pointer.
But the show is not over, Kidd missed the layup, Mutombo grabbed the rebound in the front court and immediately distributed the ball to Zhang Mao, Da Shuaibi dribbled the ball to the front court with his left hand throughout the whole process, and finally very naughty with his numb right hand to go up, so close to the hand numb he can also go up.
The Jazz then scored a goal through Stockton's second pass to McDyes, but the defense-focused Jazz played too simple on the offensive end, and the scoring momentum has begun to decline for a while.
Sloan still doesn't think there's a problem with sticking to it, but Kidd and Zhang have continuously created threats for the Jazz, so you should be careful.
After the timeout, the Jazz began to guard against the connection between Kidd and Zhang Fu, so Jones, the neglected breakthrough, scored 4 points in a row, and assisted Zhang Zhu, who was also relaxed, to hit a left-handed three-pointer.
The Lakers' home fans began to shout Jones's name, Harris didn't use Mason at the beginning and there was a reason why Jones could break through with the ball, and the Jazz obviously underestimated this All-Star who was a little quick to face Kobe, but this can only show that Kobe is too dick, and it must not be said that Jones is not a dick.
The Lakers brought the score to 79-89 in a blink of an eye, and the point difference once again came to a sensitive ten.
Sloan realized that it might not be a good idea to hold on, but the stubborn guy still didn't make a move, because with less than five minutes left in the game, the Jazz were still capable of holding on to those 10 points.
It can be seen that Sloan is a typical American old man, simple, stubborn, serious, he will never be as sensational as Popovich, but he is not flexible on the court, maybe the coach who dislikes the players to shoot three-pointers in the league is him, and he will never understand why he wants to cut the shark, let alone understand the new rules that don't make sense.
Therefore, he would not have thought that Zhang Qian would use his left hand to hit three three-pointers in a row, this quarter since Zhang Zhu changed to a no-ball style of play and used his left hand to shoot three shots outside the three-point line, Sloan found that he couldn't take this guy lightly, even if his right hand seemed to be unable to shoot, but only the left-handed koala baby had to be covered.
In the last 3 minutes and 58 seconds, Zhang Qiu used his left hand to hit another shot outside the three-point line, and now the bag is useless, and the koala baby's hand has risen, which is definitely a fatal mistake on the Jazz defensive end!
The Lakers continued to close the gap, and the left-handed koala baby went better and better, hitting another three-pointer from the outside a minute later, and it was in front of Brian Russell.
Sloan almost jumped up in fright, if it weren't for Lao Huo's life-saving three-point shot just now, Zhang Zhu's goal would have narrowed the gap to less than 5 points.
The Jazz asked for a timeout again, and Sloan said that at the critical moment, someone had to step up, or they would not be able to hold it.
Stockton and Malone glanced at each other, who else could stand up at this time but them?
After the timeout, Stockton and Malone once again used a pick-and-roll that they could both play with their eyes closed, but this time it seemed a little different......
Mutombo didn't see any difference, he said confidently: The Sprinkle family is not afraid of blocking and demolition, even when he sees a very familiar thing smashing towards his face, he is not too frightened, and he is even ready to fight back, because he will do this trick!
Stockton suddenly laughed, you are not afraid of the above move, so what about the next move?
Mutombo was stunned, he was very agile enough to avoid Malone's iron elbow, but in the face of this hidden killer move, he could no longer dodge. Especially when there was a sharp pain in the Lakers' second 28, he knew that the real killer move of this "double ghost knocking on the door" turned out to be below, which was really disturbing!
