Zhang Wei looked at the 53 points he scored, and he was not very satisfied, which was 10 points less than Jordan that year, it seems that he will have to continue to strengthen the offense in the next game, and the lack of quality will be made up for by quantity.

In the last two minutes, the two teams teamed up to stage a big battle of points, and all the goals scored were difficult.

The fact that both teams can maintain such high morale and efficiency in the final moments of the game is the charm of the NBA playoffs. And the biggest charm of fans watching the game is to see their team still defeat strong opponents and win after being in danger, and Lakers players and fans are now enjoying the real fun of the game.

"I'm glad we won the first game, but the series isn't over yet, hopefully we can beat them again in the next game," Zhang said after the match. ”

Head coach Harris stressed that it is not our best form to get such high points for the opponent, and the team needs to strengthen defensively, especially against the Jazz's pick-and-roll, and we need to find a way.

The Jazz teamed up to score 69 points on the Lakers today, of which Malone scored 40 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, and Stockton scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists.

Zhang had 53 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Mutombo had 19 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, Mason had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Kidd had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Jazz need to target Zhang Fu even more, if he takes 10 points less today, the Jazz may have successfully won the first game, and there will be a lot of variables in this round of the series.

The Utah lost the game but were not discouraged, with backcourt leader Stockton saying: "We're going to go back and watch the tape. The gap between us and the Lakers isn't huge, and it's not the end of the world. We don't have any frustration either. Our team still has a chance to win an away game. ”

Head coach Sloan sees the team's problems, noting that the team needs to be more proactive defensively, while also improving rebounding control, and the bench players need to come up with better selections to help the team.

Of course, post-match interviews are generally routine, and it's unlikely that reporters will really get the truth out of the mouths of the two teams, and even if people do find out about the problems, they won't be the ones that come up after the game.

The Jazz themselves didn't complain about anything after the game, but everyone knew that the Lakers' Bo1 could win by virtue of the rules.

To be more specific, the Lakers were able to win today thanks to Zhang Zhu's non-stop single offense, in fact, they were in a headwind game until they executed unlimited singles, trailing by 13 points at the highest point in the third quarter.

Jazz players and coaches don't complain about Zhang's unlimited singles because they have a lot of violations of their own.

The referee has turned a blind eye to the Jazz's large number of illegal defenses, but Zhang Mao's singles are reasonable offenses within the scope of the rules, if you really want to count it, it is actually the Jazz who takes advantage of the penalty, because you can also play like this, but you don't have this ability, who can blame you?

That's the reason, the rules are very clear, how the Lakers play within the rules is their own ability, if you can't do it, don't let others do it, that's the logic of the bandits.

The 100-meter flyers at the Olympics are all black, so shouldn't blacks be allowed to compete?

China's table tennis is so good, will the Olympics cancel table tennis?

The NBA is first and foremost a commercial league, so in order not to affect the excitement of the game, it will be necessary to use rules to restrain him after the appearance of an anti-natural character and a bug style of play.

"24 seconds offense", "3 seconds violation", "5 seconds with back", "anti-isolation rule"......

The emergence of these rules, on the one hand, is to fill the loopholes in the rules, and more to improve the excitement of the game.

Now all this is to blame for the league, who told you to suddenly cancel the "anti-isolation law", otherwise Zhang Mao would not rather than have a wonderful game in order to win, and blindly hold the ball alone.

Since the rules allow it, the team and the players are naturally embarrassed to complain, but the media has no scruples about it, and they can criticize this utilitarian behavior.

The media in Salt Lake City dismissed it as a "time backwards" game, a step backwards for basketball.

To be honest, their use of this adjective is already a euphemism, but in fact, it is a satire that the Lakers are driving backwards, knowing that this road will not work, and still knowingly committing it, isn't it stupid?

Zhang Qi doesn't think he's stupid, there was only one rookie Pippen by Jordan's side back then, or a rookie rookie in 87, followed by Oakley, who is not outstanding in scoring ability, do you still want him to win the championship with such a lineup?

But even so, Jordan has created a lot of magical battles for the Bulls with his unsolvable singles ability, which shows that under the existing rules, if there is no "anti-isolation law" to check and balance, the Bulls are likely to win the championship without waiting for a Zen master.

Zhang Zhu now has the "best defensive player" Mutombo by his side, Mason is one of the most versatile power forwards on the roster, Kidd is an all-round point guard with superstar potential, Stockton is a two-time Sixth Man of the Year, and Finley is also a star seedling.

Such a lineup is countless times stronger than the Bulls back then, so now it is a bit embarrassing to be reduced to using "onlooker tactics" to win.

But this set of tactics is indeed a shortcut for the Lakers to win the championship, but sitting on such a lineup and using this means to win the championship will somewhat fall into the mouth.

The Lakers and Zhang Qian also want to save face, so at first they only used this trick as a backup plan, and now they use it so early, which can be regarded as Jazz awesome.

The next day, there was a worldwide debate about whether Infinite Singles is a win or not.

After watching the video after the media, it is easy to count that Zhang Zhu made a total of 36 shots yesterday, including a total of 24 singles with the ball in the second half, and almost every minute there was a heads-up with the ball, and the rest of the players were watching Zhang Zhu's singles most of the time.

However, Zhang Qi scored 31 points in the second half, of which 26 points were obtained through singles, which is 1.08 points per singles, which is an absolutely excellent singles statistic, if a player's singles scoring efficiency can exceed 50%, then why not singles?

In fact, the main thing people are arguing about now is: if the Lakers continue to play so frequently in the future, let Zhang Mao hold the ball alone thirty or forty times in a game, and the number of offenses by one person accounts for more than half of the team, then is such a game good?

Naturally, there are different opinions among fans, fans who support Zhang Mao want him to shoot forty or fifty times a game, and fans who dislike him want him to shoot 17 of 47 in a game, but David Stern doesn't care about this controversy, let the ratings speak for themselves.

Besides, whether the fans like it or not, no one can stop the Lakers from playing how they want to play right now. As long as the Lakers feel that this kind of play has a higher chance of winning and can win the championship by playing like this, then this kind of play that is completely in line with the rules, and the league can only wait until the summer to adjust the rules.

On May 20, the game between the Bulls and the Heat also began in a boiling discussion......

The suspense of the battle between these two teams is far less than that of the Lakers vs. Jazz in the eyes of fans.

The Heat's pursuit of Howard last summer sparked a big debate across the league, with fans believing that the deal would affect this year's championship.

But later, for a series of unexplained reasons, Howard was forcibly recaptured by the Bullets, which shattered the Heat's dream of forming a super interior pair.

If the Heat's current interior combination is really Mourning and Howard, then the Bulls are likely to really not be able to cross this hurdle.

Mourning + Howard, both sound exciting, this is indeed a perfect interior combination, plus Tim Hardaway in the second spring, and Jamal Mashburn, who may also usher in his second spring, this team is really flawless.

But now without one Howard as a catalyst, Rodman has the ability to entangle the lonely Mourning with a headache, and the two turned the basketball game into a wrestling game in the first game of the series, which is much more on a scale than Zhang Ju blindly bullying Russell, which shows that the league is still very doting on him.

Yesterday, the Lakers game, the Bulls were watching.

Today, the Bulls game, the Lakers are also watching.

In this game, the two cores of the Bulls, Jordan and Pippen, both played at a very high level, especially Jordan's 31 shots, scoring 37 points, including no less ball-holding singles, but not as excessive as Zhang Zhu, but they are also using the rules to play their personal ability.

However, except for these two leading stars, no one from the Bulls scored in double figures in this game, only Harper and Langley scored 6 points, and the rest did not even contribute more than five points.

This is obviously a problem for the Bulls, they only have one Kukoc on the bench who has the ability to cut points, but this person has a bit of an undercover flavor of Starks in the playoffs, basically stealth as soon as he arrives in the playoffs, and his level has dropped significantly, which is a weakness that opponents can take advantage of.

On the Heat side, Mourning still scored 21 points and added 8 rebounds when he was taken care of by Rodman, and finally let the "Big Bug" leave the court with 6 fouls, which is a good proof of his strength. It's a pity that in addition to Mo Ning's good performance, Hardaway, who played well in the last round, is not magically absent, and the rest of the people also don't have a very good performance, but they are not as good as the Bulls who only have two scores, after all, there are two people playing.

This game also proved once again that the playoffs rely on the quality and performance of the stars, and the high-quality role players in the regular season are unlikely to provide you with the soil to play in the finals when every inch of land is contested, so whether it is Starks, or Kukoc, even these top sixth men in the regular season, they are easy to weaken when they come to the playoffs, which is why they can only take a few million.

The final score was 84:77, which was very different from the Lakers and Jazz who were both in the hundreds, these two teams are the main theme of the NBA playoffs, a head-to-head battle of muscles and will, mainly fighting for defense, and the play of top stars.

The result of the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was that the Heat's stars were inferior to the Bulls in terms of number and quality, and Miami fans were crying in their hearts, and they couldn't help but be jaw-dropping when they flipped through the technical statistics. You know, the real reversal came in the fourth quarter, and the Heat actually led the Bulls by five points after the first three quarters, but in just 12 minutes, the Bulls let the Heat know what "real kung fu" is by an overwhelming advantage of 23:11.

Zhang Yu didn't say it, but he felt in his heart that this was not a game of victory or defeat, it should be a microcosm of the entire series, and the Heat's final quarter collapse was enough to serve as a sample to witness the strength and weakness, just like the Jazz against them, you can see a lot of things in one game.

The Lakers won yesterday on talent, including athleticism, fitness, player quality and quantity, and more......

The Bulls also won today in terms of talent, as well as player quality, fitness and technology......

The Heat's defense is actually not bad, and the team trained by Pat Riley basically doesn't need to worry about their defense, but what they need on offense is talent, and the Heat's players are a little worse in offensive talent.

They're playing at a normal level, and Mourning can still score 20 points from wrestling with Rodman, can you ask him to do better?

The loss of this game is because there is no second person to step up.

Hardaway and Mashburn were originally the core of their respective teams, but they were also players who suffered serious injuries and were waived, if it was before their injuries, their talent was no worse than the Bulls, but now they can only fight the Bulls for three quarters, which is basically the limit.

The Heat's five starters, today's average playing time reached 40.3 minutes per game, of which Hardaway played 48 minutes, Mourning, Mashburn's playing time reached 42 minutes, if losing a game is a phenomenon, then the derived question mark is that these players of the Heat are ready to mediate with the Bulls in the case of an average of 40 minutes per game?

If the Heat players participate in track and field sports such as long-distance running, people will admire their will, but in a confrontation that requires physical contact, the role of physical strength is not as simple as moving the legs forward, nor can it be enough to keep up with the opponent's pace on the defensive end, but to ensure that their technical movements do not move in the process of pushing the opponent, which is the role of physical strength.

But from the first game, the Heat's bench is more ugly than the Bulls, the main players must stay on the court for a long time, and the final result is the collapse of physical strength in the last quarter, even if the top three play some advantages, but under the offense of Jordan and Pippen in the last quarter, this advantage will also come to naught in a blink of an eye.

"Look at this game, that's why the Bulls will win the championship."

Bulls coach Phil Jackson rarely made such a show after the game after the team's comeback win in the final quarter, and then said: "No one can do it like Michael, the Bulls have always been on the right path to winning the championship", this sentence is in the words, everyone knows that he is alluding to Zhang Qiu and the Lakers.

It's a pity, this kind of little trick is too child's play for Zhang Fu, the koala baby will be worried that no one will fight with him, since the Zen master wants to play psychological warfare, he must accompany him!

"Hmph, in the past, stabbing in the back was condemned by everyone...... But now, no one has stopped such a thing, what a tragedy! ”

At the public training on the second day, Zhang Qi also had something to say, satirizing the Zen master.

But this is just an appetizer, these reporters naturally want to ask questions about the Lakers' singles tactics, and Zhang Mao's answer to this question is one sentence: "Everything is false, everything is allowed." ”

The reporters said: This is very familiar, but I don't understand, please explain it.

"I don't understand a fart!" Zhang Yu knew that these reporters were the best at pretending to be confused, but he was not afraid that these people would take his words out of context.

It's the age of the Internet, and for a world-famous person like him, this trick is useless.

Even if someone really is doing something behind his back, he still has the big killer of the ICQ pop-up, the power of which can ask David Stern, who really almost burned down the house.

Yes, there were people who sneakily wanted to set the president's house on fire the other day, and the reason was that inconsequential game.

Fortunately, David Stern lived in a wealthy area with good security, and he called the police in advance, and the nearby police station sent additional personnel to patrol, and at that time, he happened to see someone sneaking around the side of the house, and went up to check, and found that this person was hiding arson, which allowed the president to avoid the tragedy of the house being burned.

But the president was also scared this time, and he could only sigh that the current fans are so crazy that they can't afford to provoke ...... Can't be messed with......

Zhang Mao explained his words to reporters: "My meaning is very simple, there are obviously a hundred ways to play in this world, a hundred paths, but people only use one way to judge the good and bad, this is the real stupidity, is to sit in the well and watch the sky." I don't have God here, only my own creed. "God" does not refer to the real God, but the title of "God of Basketball" that Jordan's team began to hype.

Now neutral fans don't think that Jordan is the "basketball god", he is only a four-time champion, if this becomes the basketball god, let alone the sixties and seventies, just the eighties "Big Bird" and "Magic" have something to say, Jordan's four championship rings can't be a head taller than them.

Especially the magician, who has 5 rings in hand, if he hadn't retired due to illness at his peak, the bulls at that time might not have been able to win three consecutive championships.

If the Lakers win the championship again this year, then the Magic will lie down and win to get his sixth ring, Jordan's status is really not as good as the Lakers, a cheerleader who has not played, and the title of "basketball god" is too early to say, it is estimated that the agent is afraid that if he doesn't say it now, he won't have a chance to say it in the future.

"Leon, what do you think of that man's new title?"

Sure enough, a reporter immediately came to stir up trouble, and even used "that person" to stir up trouble.

Zhang Wei continued to pretend: "Sue me for his name and his blood." ”

The reporter secretly praised "invisible" and quickly replied: "His name is Michael Jordan!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi showed a pretend smile that he had practiced countless times in the mirror, and said, "A long time ago, I thought I would always follow in his footsteps. But then, he stopped, and I was the only one left on the extended road, confused, but at the same time unwavering. ”
