The Jazz couldn't find their rhythm in the first half, and three of the five starters lacked fighting spirit, which had lost hope of winning in the Western Conference Finals, and the "negativity" was far more serious than playing a little wave.

No matter how casual the Lakers are, they can play a good offense, but they can't do anything when they are negative.

Malone yelled at his teammates in the locker room for a long time, but this did not arouse the fighting spirit of his teammates.

This kind of thing is not just your voice, you have to be able to speak, or be able to talk nonsense, but unfortunately Ma Long doesn't have either, so you can only keep people away from him, so as not to be spitted on his face.

Sloan can do that, but as a coach, you have to come up with on-court tactics first, not just words to motivate the players.

Simple chicken soup for the soul can only be used when both sides are anxious, but in this desperate situation, words alone are useless, you must have a strategy to come up, otherwise the player will not see the hope of winning, and no matter how much chicken soup you pour, it is useless.

In this way, both Big Ben and Finley are suitable for Jazz, and both of them are not much talkative personalities. Especially Big Ben, he is the master who doesn't talk much, and the personality of the second elder is very symmetrical, plus Finley's words, this jazz can definitely go up a notch.

Therefore, Coach Sloan's vision is only limited to whether he can block and dismantle, or whether he can cooperate with the second elder to block and dismantle. That's a lot different from a Soviet, who was watching the TV in San Antonio, who suggested that the Spurs take Finley, who had fallen to the bottom of the line, when he was an assistant coach, but no one heeded his advice at the time.

However, the big instinct that narrowly lost the election was like this, which was something that this Soviet spy could not have imagined.

Big Ben is a rookie at the end of the second round, but his performance is no worse than Rodman in his rookie period, and his potential is really not small.

In the second half, the demoralized Jazz were stupid by Zhang Fu's three-point shot as soon as they came up.

The koala baby didn't even adjust after receiving the ball on the outside, so he raised his hand and shot the ball out, and Russell in front of him looked up at a 45-degree angle like a fool, watching the basketball go into the net!

Zhang Qi is opening his heart, don't look at the current lead is not very much, but with the current fighting spirit of the Jazz players, it doesn't matter if the Lakers turn the waves upside down, at this time, they will play better and better.

Kidd also saw that even Stockton was starting to get depressed in the second half, and this guy was too lazy to make so many small moves, which allowed his breakthrough to be carried out smoothly.

Stockton doesn't have to make small moves now, he really can't guard against these young players, and after Kidd broke through, he also came to a riotous back dribble to change direction, and flashed Malone to throw the ball into the basket.

Now that even Kidd is in a commotion, the Lakers' offense must be a little chaotic, and a group of people is a bit of a head-grabbing idea.

But this kind of undisciplined singles still makes Jazz lose sight of one or the other.

Malone was actually beaten by Mason into a turnaround jumper, which was no less than being humiliated in person.

But Mr. "Postman" retaliated and fell into the trap of the Lakers' defense instead.

Lakers players steal the lead on the offensive end, but they still do their jobs on the defensive end, and everyone knows what they want to do in the system, and they are very clear about their positioning, which makes it difficult to create chaos, just do what they do regularly.

Zhang Yu jumped out of the grass again, and with Mason, who was making small movements under him, he slapped Malone's layup.

Today's "Postman" is almost defeated, and he was hatted five times in a game, and Zhang Yu alone accounted for 3 times, which is definitely a stain on his life.

This block made Malone completely lose his mind, and Zhang Yu was maliciously put down by Malone in a subsequent attack.

Ma Long had a bit of hurtful intentions this time, and Zhang Qi could only fall hard in order to avoid the flying iron elbow.

Zhang Yi couldn't bear this kind of anger, and after Ma Long was shown a technical foul, he flew an elbow at Ma Long's head two minutes later......

"Bang!"

Ma Long also reacted quickly, and when he saw this familiar scene, he quickly subconsciously dodged, and the elbow only hit Ma Long's ribs in the end.

However, the "postman" still fell down with a muffled grunt, and could not even let out a scream.

The pain that Zhang Yu fed back from his iron elbow, knowing that he was afraid that he was solid now, could make his iron elbow feel a burst of pain, you can imagine what would happen to the people who were elbowed by him at this moment?

"Damn, the loss hit me in the chest, and I really hit the head, I'm afraid I'm going to die?"

Zhang Yu regretted a little after his elbow, but it was not that he regretted hurting Ma Long, but at this juncture, he didn't need to face the danger of being banned in order to take a breath.

The referee's sharp "whistle" sounded again and again, which shows the seriousness of this foul.

Blowing the whistle so continuously is obviously worried about the conflict between the players on both sides.

But I'm sorry, Jazz, who is already facing being swept away, will not swallow his anger at this time.

After Malone fell down, Russell finally mustered up the courage to rush towards Zhang Mao, opened his hand and exerted all his strength, and pushed hard at the chest of the koala baby.

Zhang Yu was able to dodge but didn't dodge now, and he was pushed back three steps in a row, and then he stood firm?

Russell's face suddenly turned pale, he used enough strength to push this push, he just wanted to push Zhang Fu down, but he didn't expect to be able to push it down, what kind of physical fitness is this TMD?

Jazz fans have been shouting again, and the entire arena was immediately filled with a tsunami of curses after Malone fell to the ground! It's just that the momentum of this tsunami suddenly had an awkward pause after Russell's push, a little stiff!

Russell was very confused, and before he could react to what to do next, he felt an unbearable force behind him, and he didn't even have time to stabilize his body, and made a standard street attack directly on the floor.

Mason's push is not the strength just now, Zhang Yu is still going to hit the street after being pushed like this, and Russell doesn't even have a chance to resist, if it weren't for the protection of braces, I'm afraid that even the front teeth will be broken several times.

These two pushes immediately made the stadium boil, and the referee could no longer control the situation, and the players of the two teams pushed together in an instant, and the scene was chaotic.

Lao Mu and Kidd are obviously much calmer, they are just protecting themselves, and quickly move closer to Zhang Fu, not letting the opponent attack their core, and by the way, preventing Zhang Fu from attacking others again.

Zhang Zhu had already calmed down after elbowing Ma Long, so he didn't fight back against Russell, and deliberately suffered this blow. Now that his teammates are leaning towards him, he's happy to stay in the middle to be protected, reducing the chances of being suspended, and he doesn't want to be out of the court in the next round against the Bulls.

Mason actually calmed down, and he pushed Russell, not because of his enthusiasm, but as a bodyguard, he had to fight back when the opponent rushed into his core, so this time he had to do it as a last resort.

But then, even if someone punches him again, he will only defend and will never fight back.

This is a qualified bodyguard, a truly qualified villain on the NBA court, who will only maliciously attack and provoke the core target of Party B, even if he is beaten, he will never fight back.

Zhang Yu was very unwise to elbow Ma Long just now, Mason was already looking for an opportunity to attack Ma Long, he shouldn't have made his own move, this job was not done by his core.

At this moment on the court, the players on both sides pushed and shoved for a long time, but under the restraint of the Lakers players and the control of the three referees and security personnel, the conflict finally did not further expand.

Under the protection of security personnel, Zhang was escorted to the Lakers' bench, and then surrounded by the benches to help him block Coke, mobile phones and other items thrown by the home fans.

Ma Long, the unlucky guy, was also carried to the sidelines, not only did he look in pain at the moment, but even his breathing was a little difficult, and the position of the fifth rib was so painful that he felt suffocated, and he couldn't even speak, so he could only respond briefly to the team doctor's inquiry.

This symptom is a bit scary, the team doctor did not dare to touch him, because this looks like a fracture, but there are symptoms of dyspnea, maybe the lungs are also elbow problems, otherwise there will be no symptoms of dyspnea, it is recommended to be sent to the hospital immediately, there is no condition to treat this injury.

Sloan rarely saw such a serious injury, and knew in his heart that Malone would definitely be reimbursed, so angry that he wanted to blow Zhang Fu's head up!

Is this TM playing, or killing?

Does this elbow want human life?

Well, these questions, David Robinson, Olajuwon, Thomas, Barkley, O'Neal, Horry and others in front of the TV also want to ask Malone.

At this moment, these people don't think that Zhang Zhu's elbow is too much, and after watching the slow motion, Thomas regrets that he couldn't hit Ma Long's head this time, otherwise he would have been in shock for at least three minutes, which is right.

Most of the neutral fans in front of the TV also stood on Zhang Fu's side and applauded loudly, who let the souls who fell under Ma Long's elbow are really countless, these people above are just representatives, and the rest of the injured are countless, if the inside line in the NBA has not been elbowed by Ma Long, it is basically a water cooler player, and these people are also cheering for Zhang Fu.

It's not that you don't report it, but that the time has not come, and now justice is coming, just a little late.

It's just that Zhang Zhu's elbow must also be punished, when the scene is controlled, the referee finds Zhang Zhu as soon as possible and shows him a "second-degree malicious foul", which means that Zhang Zhu must be expelled from the game, and will be fined $35,000 after the game, with a ban of more than 80%.

In addition, Russell was also shown a "first-degree malicious foul" for pushing Zhang Mao and was also sent off.

The third to be sent off, of course, was Mason who took revenge on Russell, also for a "first-degree malicious foul" and was also sent off.

Then, one player from each team was shown a "technical foul" for pushing, but no one was sent off again.

Honestly, that's the end of this game.

Malone was carried down, Russell was sent off, although the Lakers also had Zhang Zhu, the absolute leader, was sent off, and Mason was also expelled for protection, but the Lakers still have Finley and Big Instinct to deal with it, but no one on the Jazz side can deal with the gap between Malone and Russell.

The lineup of Kidd, Starks and Finley can be regarded as an outside configuration of a mid-to-upper team, plus Mutombo and Big Ben, this lineup also has the strength of the first round of the playoffs.

With 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the Lakers led by more than ten points, the Jazz were greatly reduced, and the suspense of this game was no longer there.

But during the timeout, Harris gave an order that was incomprehensible to the Lakers players - release the water.

Of course, he won't say it directly, but he can still express it tactfully, and it can also let the players know what he means.

Only Kidd in the Lakers reacted to this order immediately, and Harris wanted to use the ban in this series.

Obviously, Zhang Fu's elbow will be banned, but considering his status, the league's favoritism, appearance, and the fact that Ma Long, the victim, will make many people happy, the number of bans should not exceed one game, and eighty percent will be banned for one game, and it will be over with a fine.

So, this round of the series must be played one more game so that Zhang's ban will not be carried to the Finals and will not affect the matchup against the Bulls - the Lakers must lose today!

Mutombo and others also quickly understood the manager's intentions, Harris was worried that Big Ben would still not release the water, and did not even send him on the court again, he used Jermaine O'Neal to replace Mason, just hoping to make this little guy make more mistakes, then it would be easier to lose.

However, after losing Malone, the Jazz couldn't even play the block, and the defense dropped another level, even O'Neal Jr. couldn't defend it, and the offense couldn't shoot under the eye defense.

Harris saw that after the first three quarters, the score was actually 94:81, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood!

"Old thing, you don't want to be right with me, do you? I don't want you to give you a penny? ”

Harris looked at Sloan on the other side, and felt in his heart that this was definitely deliberate, and he let the Jazz avoid being swept away, did these guys really want to be swept away?

Sloan really had this idea in his heart, he could naturally see the Lakers' plans, and he also knew what Harris was thinking about, of course he didn't want the Lakers to get his wish.

But as soon as he considered the blow of the "sweep" to the team, he still decided to go all out to win this game. Besides, as long as he wins this game, Zhang Zhu will be banned from the next game, and the Jazz are likely to score another point at that time, and if they can return to Salt Lake City with a score of 2:3, the Jazz will have a chance to live.

Well, that's a bit overthinking.

Harris was not worried about this possibility, Ma Long's appearance just now was obviously reimbursed, and Zhang Yi also reminded him when he left the field that he didn't need to think about Ma Long's threat anymore.

This sentence has many deeper meanings, such as reminding Harris that Malone has been reimbursed, and even if he is not there, the Lakers have an advantage, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of releasing water.

In fact, this is a reminder to Harris that the Lakers cannot win this game and must leave his suspension for this round of the series.

Harris also understood what he meant, but the problem is that losing Marlon's jazz is too much, and he really can't lose it!

The Lakers can't put it too obviously, and they will be punished by the league. But the Jazz have no intention of fighting, except for Stockton, who wants to avenge his old friend, the rest of them don't even have the will to fight, they just want to provoke another incident in their minds, and a group of people use their energy to set off a second conflict.

How can such a Jazz get back from a 13-point deficit?

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz were further widened by the Lakers......

Zhang Yu was very depressed in the locker room, and after seeing O'Neal Jr. actually play two 2+1 in the fourth quarter, he knew that he would pay a big price for his uncalm this time, and the Bulls should be laughing and peeing, right?

However, this is not without a chance to be undone, he is not an ordinary player.

Now that the game is not over, Zhang Yu first picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ma Long, whose life and death were uncertain, to apologize, which was a necessary cutscene.

Then, he called his agent, Jeanie Bass, and West, and quickly discussed the details of the aftermath with the three of them.

After thinking about it, Zhang Wei was ready to call his father as well.

Those economic giants, haven't they been trying to find a way to cooperate with the Dragonborn Company recently, so don't you have some sincerity at this time?

If these people don't even have the energy to turn black into white, and the defendant into a plaintiff, then how can they cooperate?

However, before making a call, he stumbled upon a phone number on his phone book......

He still remembers that the local tyrant who always annoyed him bragged to him several times, saying how many connections and connections he had in the political circles, and that he was not only a rich man, but also that he would run for president in the future.

Although these words sound like bragging, at this time, he is not afraid to call his daughter, ask the young lady out for dinner, make an appointment, and take the opportunity to see if he is really bragging, then there is no need to bother Zhang Mo.

Those giant crocodiles' favors can still be owed without owing, but this tease is different, because he is a tease.

Unbeknownst to Zhang now, just after the Lakers led by 15 points in the fourth quarter, David Stern turned off the TV directly, and at the same time called the secretary and summoned all the senior executives in New York to have an emergency meeting, and it was now, immediately, immediately......
