"There's no one in sight!"

"It's so damn when we're transparent?"

"He will pay for his arrogance!"

“…………”

Don't get me wrong, it's not the voice of the Bulls players, it's the anger of the Jazz players.

The Bulls are naturally complaining about Zhang Zhu's invincibility, but the scolding is not the same as that of the Jazz, because the latter is angry because he was completely ignored, and Zhang Zhu only won a home court and said these words, where did he put them?

"If you want to beat these guys, you have to score because you can't limit them to 94 points," Jazz coach Sloan said before the game, touting offense ahead of the game against the Lakers, believing that the Jazz's scoring ability was underestimated.

In the first game, the Jazz came close to winning by stealing offense, and in the second game they were still prepared to attack aggressively at the beginning, but this time they will destroy the Lakers.

The Lakers felt that Sloan's smoke bomb was too obvious, and when Harris discussed it with the coaching staff, he decided that the Jazz would definitely play defense in the second game and would not compete with the Lakers offensively.

Zhang Qi felt that this was a reverse smoke bomb, and Sloane was going to attack again, so he deliberately put such a fake smoke bomb to deceive them.

Koala baby is obviously thinking too much, the second game is very important for the Jazz, how can anyone make things so complicated.

At this time, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that has lost two home games in a row in the division finals and then come back from defeat to victory, which means that once the Lakers win the second game, the Lakers will have a good chance of finally advancing to the Finals.

Besides, the Lakers are the team with the best home record in the league this season, and it is difficult to make them turn the tables at the Western Forum Arena, so the Jazz will not give up the defense they are good at in this game and turn to attack the Lakers.

"We can't be satisfied now, and the safer we are, the more we have to have a sense of crisis." Although he thought too much in his heart and looked unusually arrogant and underwhelmed, Zhang Mao didn't dare to take it lightly. Maybe it's because he's so cautious that he thinks so much.

"We're confident now, but we also know that the Jazz are a very good team. They are just as proud and confident in themselves, and now they may be on the edge of a cliff going into the next game, so we have to be careful. ”

Zhang Zhu usually takes it seriously after pretending, in fact, it doesn't matter how much she thinks about it, it doesn't matter if she pretends to be forced, this caution is the most commendable place, and it is also the biggest difference from others.

Our baby koala doesn't care what he says, but he never gets carried away when he has the upper hand, and although he looks arrogant and unpopular, he doesn't give anyone else a chance.

Comedy masters are often withdrawn and introverted in reality, and many even have depressive tendencies.

The same is true for real pretending criminals, their real personalities are often very low-key and cautious, and the ratio of pretending is often invisible and invisible, such as this ......

Sloan's side really doesn't plan to fight with the Lakers anymore, this is the team with the most ferocious firepower in the regular season, the first game was a surprise, but it was also a dangerous move under the premise of full preparation, and the second game was still like this, it really didn't know how to die.

Although the Lakers are not as good as the Jazz in their pre-game homework, when it comes to this kind of finals, they will definitely go back to watch the video summarizing the routines shown by the Jazz in the first game, and now continue to attack, I am afraid that they will fall into the rhythm of the Lakers, and nine times out of ten they will be taken away by a wave.

But when it comes to how to deal with the Lakers, Sloan is still at a loss at the moment.

In the regular season, as well as last season, the Lakers liked to hand over every offense in the final quarter to Zhang Zhu when facing strong opponents, which is actually something that can be exploited.

The Jazz have won against the Lakers several times in a row this season, when they will set up multiple defenses around Zhang in the fourth quarter, and then choke the Lakers' mid-to-long-range shots, making the Lakers pay for their tactics.

But at the end of this year's regular season, the Lakers suddenly stopped handing over all offensive opportunities to Zhang, and they began to play pick-and-rolls for Kidd and Starks, who used their speed and agility to attack the opponent's defense and give Zhang the opportunity he deserved.

In this way, the Lakers are missing even a rare flaw, I really wonder if they deliberately leaked such a flaw to confuse the enemy?

Sloan thinks it's likely that this is the case, otherwise the Lakers wouldn't have been able to make up for their few flaws before the playoffs approached, and the valuable experience that many teams had accumulated during the regular season was wiped out.

Well, it is understandable for Sloan to think so, how did he know that at that time, it was because Zhang Mao's task had been completed and he didn't need to hold the ball too much, so he would scatter the ball to his teammates, which was not premeditated at all, although many coaches felt that this was a conspiracy.

On May 21, the second game between the Lakers and the Jazz is about to begin......

Zhang Zhu's words yesterday made Jordan's fans run to his forum to denounce for most of the day, in fact, he is indeed talking nonsense, because at this very moment, he is still secretly learning from Jordan.

For example, he agrees with Jordan's style of play in the game against the Heat, a Jordan who scored more than 30 points but only had three or four assists, is still as dominant as ever, and is not less threatening than when he was 30+6+6.

In today's game, Zhang Yu is ready to play like this, he will not repeat singles in the first half like in the first game, and he will not hold a lot of balls, unless the Lakers fall behind by double digits in the first half, and he will take over the game in the second half.

On the surface, he hopes that his two backcourt players can use the breakthrough to open the door to victory for the team, and he can play the final offensive finisher, without too many balls.

This is his attitude in the team, very selfless, very big-pictured.

Of course, the real thoughts in his heart were complicated.

Zhang Fu knew in his heart that if he would play unlimited singles as soon as he came up today, and in the end he would attract tongues no matter whether he won or lost, how unsmart it was!

But if he rarely held the ball in the first half, but the scoring efficiency and statistics were good, then in the end, whether he won or lost, he would only be praised.

might as well take a step back and say, if the Lakers really fell behind in the first half, then it would not be too late for him to play unlimited singles in the second half, and if he won in the end, wouldn't it be more like a savior at that time?

As for the task, he also thought it through.

In the next game, or the next round against the Bulls, he still has a lot of opportunities to finish, and there is no need to rush at all.

Besides, it is too easy to get recognition from the media and fans, and as long as ICQ has a pop-up, it can set off enough waves to build momentum for him.

Now, let's think more about the game......

In the first game, although Zhang was not very satisfied with Starks' performance, he knew that Kidd and Starks' breakthrough was very threatening and had to be used to make good use of it.

The point is, both of them already have some experience, especially Starks, and Zhang believes that the first game should just be a normal up-and-down.

Yes, in previous years, Starks would have made some fatal mistakes.

But after so many years of training by the Knicks, he is now very stable, confident and very aware of the difficult environment on the court, able to make the right choice at the right time, and he should play a big role in the next game.

At the pre-match press conference, Zhang was asked by a reporter: "Leon, yesterday your interview caused a lot of doubts in Chicago, and Michael also protested that your interview was of a personal nature, what is your explanation for this?" ”

Zhang Yu didn't say a word, apologized first, and coaxed him for a while, anyway, he had already finished pretending.

"Yes, yesterday I went a little too far, and I want to apologize to Michael." Then he changed his voice, "But that's only part of the psychological warfare, and if he's affected, then my intentions have been accomplished." ”

Seeing what he said, the reporters were speechless, and some people quickly reflected: What kind of psychological warfare, I think this is simply to pretend to be forced!

Zhang Yu secretly thought in his heart: Of course, it is not only to pretend to be forced, but also to continue to suppress Jordan in popularity and fame.

He knew from the beginning that a superstar who could talk sassy things was definitely much more popular than other peers, otherwise did he really think that he could become the most famous sports star in the world in two years by playing awesomely?

Don't be naïve, it's impossible!

An NBA player can't do this just by playing, half of the credit here is due to his sassy words, and part of it is the help of his own company and his own appearance, as for the performance on the court, in the end, I am afraid that it will not even play a three-percent role.

The NBA is not very famous in the world, and it is only one of the four major leagues in the United States with the least influence, and it has not surpassed the major leagues of ice hockey.

Now on the field, Zhang Zhu is still the most sassy one, whether it is sneakers, entrance introduction, or personal ceremony, he is the one who dominates the field, so he deserves to be famous.

Both teams started the same lineup today as they did in the first game, neither made any changes to the starting line-up, Malone was not suspended, and Mason was not elbowed and ribbed as rumored.

However, there has been a change in the attributes of the players on both teams, which is interesting.

Lakers starters: Kidd (87), Starks (87), Zhang (96), Mason (85), Mutombo (89).

Jazz starters: Stockton (87), Hornacek (84), Brian Russell (84), Karl Malone (94), Ostertag (81).

Both Kidd and Starks' attributes have improved, this is because the Lakers let the two switch defenses on the defensive end from the beginning today, and let Kidd deal with Lao Huo, which also reduces the latter's attributes, indicating that Harris's arrangement is very unfavorable to the Jazz.

Zhang's attributes have not changed, but Russell has risen a little, which should be due to the media reporting after the game on the contrast between his six fouls in the first game.

This guy actually gained confidence because of this, thinking that he could still have some influence on Zhang Mao, and his heart was big enough.

Mason's attribute increase should be the relationship between the last successful match to Yin Ma Long, and after watching Rodman's wrestling fight with Mourning, he seems to have been inspired a lot, and today he is obviously planning to emulate the performance of "Big Bug".

Finally, there was the decline in Ostertag's stats, which must have been due to Mutombo's excellent performance in the last fight.

In the first game between the two teams, although the "African Mountain" was not obvious, but in the last check of the data of the center of the two teams, Mutombo crushed the white center in scoring, defense, rebounding, and blocking.

Jazz himself knows that if the Lakers really want to make a fuss in this position, Mutombo is afraid that he can play a series of about 20+15+5, and no one on the Jazz side can stop him, but now the Lakers have no intention of letting their defensive center attack, and Harris has so many good cards to play in his hand, there is really no need to use Mutombo.

Harris didn't guess wrong, the Jazz in the first game was dominated by the opponent after the opening, and today's Jazz chose to stick to it, reduce the offensive rounds as much as possible, and strive to drag the game into the quagmire of muscle collision, which is commonly known as the "Billy Method"!

The Lakers didn't play the "onlooker tactic" that made the Jazz have no way to deal with it after the opening, Sloan was really afraid of the Lakers' rogue singles, and this move was almost impossible to solve without violating the rules!

But even if they don't play alone, the Jazz won't be easy today, and their pick-and-roll has been locked in by the Lakers with a 3-2 defensive formation from the start.

Zhang Zhu and Mutombo were given more defensive tasks by Harris today, who made the mobility of these two people in their respective positions are against the sky, they can fully work together to block the large area in and outside the box, so that there is not much room for the Jazz to move, the two elders can only be forced to shoot in the middle and long distance, but still have to face the Lakers three strong defensive players to chase and block.

Harris guessed the Jazz's plan early on, and the Lakers will also have to fight with the opponent to defend today, and they have more capital to wrestle.

This time, the Lakers not only want to win, but also let the Jazz know that no matter whether they fight offense or defense, the Lakers are sure to win, you better stand up obediently and stop doing useless struggles.

The Lakers' two guards have been a lot more consistent today, especially since Kidd can focus more on organizing the offense and showing his talent in the big arena after getting rid of the task of defending Stockton.

If Stockton is characterized by speed and skill, Kidd is characterized by stability and agility, and he has full spirit in stability, which allows him to play both positional and small-ball, which is very suitable for a team with several stars of different styles. His big-picture vision and consistency, combined with his great spirituality, can bring out the best in everyone in the team.

Although Stockton's style of play will be more intuitive in terms of spectacle, seeing Kidd repeatedly transfer the ball to the right place and player's hands, fans will also have a pleasing feeling, because you can feel from God's perspective that this guy's choices are so correct, you can't find fault with it at all, you can only feel that the basketball transfer is very comfortable and smooth.

Kidd's teammates felt the same way, and Starks scored four straight points to help the Lakers get off to a good start.

But then, as both teams have strengthened their defenses, it will be difficult for each to score, but this does not prevent a well-seasoned point guard master from secretly competing with a future point guard master, who can handle the ball so that others can't find fault with it.

The Lakers took a 6-2 lead at the beginning of the game, and Zhang Mao also received an assist from Mason to score a goal, and it seems that the Lakers' offense today seems to be going well. But since then. The two teams began to fall into a scoring drought again, and it wasn't until 6:32 left in the first quarter that Stockton assisted for a three-pointer from the Jazz, the second of the day for the Jazz.

In the next two minutes, fans could only see Mason and Malone, two guys with exaggerated upper limbs, constantly hugging each other to make Billy, and they could smell a smell of love spreading across the screen.

Russell's side also wants to use the "pull and hug" tactic to deal with Zhang Zhu, but unfortunately the koala baby doesn't like this kind of wrestling, he only likes to drive and hit people, but he doesn't want to wrestle with people, it looks a bit like avoiding Russell, constantly running without the ball to find opportunities.

The Jazz were able to cope at first, but as the game progressed and the Lakers began to set up a lot of off-ball cover for Zhang, the situation began to shift in favor of the Lakers.

It can't be helped, the Lakers have Kidd and Mason to make the ball for Zhang, so that his off-ball running can play the biggest threat.

So for Salt Lake City fans, the situation on the court was naturally not good-lasting, because Zhang Qi began to explode in the middle of the first quarter, hitting consecutive mid-range catch-and-shoot jumpers!

This was terrible, Zhang Mao's brave performance led the Lakers to a 10:2 attack wave, and with 2:06 left in the first quarter, Starks' counterattack layup rewrote the score to 20:10, and the Jazz turned from a stalemate to a 10-point deficit in a blink of an eye, and Sloan had to quickly ask for a timeout.

"The Lakers won ten points in a row, how to fight the enemy?"

This is a problem that Sloan can't think of in his head, their blocking and demolition was targeted by the Lakers today, and the double brakes can't get into the paint area at all, the Lakers set two locks under their basket, one locked outside the restricted area, and one locked in the restricted area, it is difficult for the Jazz to break through all the way, how can they break through two ways in a row to complete the tower push?

In this quarter, most of their offense was from 15 feet away, and even if Stockton and Malone both had more range than that, it didn't mean they didn't have a defense from 15 feet away.

Starks has also been entangled with Stockton in close quarters, and Mason even staged a large-scale hand-to-hand combat with Malone, the scene is very inappropriate for children, and the muscle crackling sound that even reached the ears of fans in front of the TV really made many female fans blush.

The faces of Jazz fans are a little pale, and the two Lakers guards know that even if they stick too tightly and are broken through, there are still two lines of defense behind them to make up, and the advantage of having no worries is that they can boldly start hand-to-hand combat, which makes the two elders fall into deep passivity.

Now let's not talk about how many points the second elder can score under such defense, if they continue to play at this pace, the physical strength of the two will definitely have problems in the third quarter, what should they do then?

The Jazz are facing too many problems right now, the Lakers have too many cards, and they still have a killer move in their hands, and they can't be more stable.

Harris now has almost a set of cards in his hand, and as long as he doesn't die himself, the Jazz will be in infinite passivity.

After the 60-second timeout, the Jazz still couldn't think of a way to break the Lakers' defense, Zhang and Mutombo were like big kings and little kings inside and outside the box, Mason and Stockton were like two aces, and although the double brakes were two twos, the hand was just as unplayable.

In the end, there was no way, Jazz could only show the momentum of breaking the cauldron, knowing that there was an impermeable copper wall in front of him, or he could only hit it with his head, because other than that, they really had no other way.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Lakers fans watched the second elder with half ridicule and half admiration as if they had lost their minds, and kept making a death charge against the Lakers' defense.

But I don't know if it's really so powerful with "a few blind hits", Jazz once used this kind of headbutt hitting the south wall to narrow the difference to 6 points, and the two elders actually hit several unreasonable shots.

What can hit the morale of the Jazz players is that in the last 0.6 seconds of the first quarter, Zhang Mao's breakthrough layup scored a key 2 points for the team, and the Lakers still ended the first quarter with an 8-point lead at 26:18.

"If you continue to fight like this, I'd like to see how much energy you have left for the fourth quarter?"

After Zhang Zhu scored the whistle ball, he looked back at Stockton, who began to gasp after the first quarter, and felt that today's car was very stable and had a great advantage.
