"Get out of here!"

When Ma Long saw Zhang Fu's outstretched left hand, he was so angry that he almost waved it over with an elbow.

Zhang Qi is also bad enough, what does he mean by deliberately stretching out his left hand?

Some people are secretly snickering at the excitement, could it be that this is to abolish Ma Long's other hand?

Ma Long didn't stretch out his hand, this is still a bit cowardly, this time it was Zhang Yu's hand stretched out first, if he dared to do something again, the league would not let him go after the game.

But Ma Long didn't dare to play anymore, after Zhang Yu finished teasing Jordan the day before yesterday, he posted a photo of himself crushing walnuts with his bare hands the next day.

Of course, that walnut did something early in the morning, but Marlon was still scared half to death after seeing it, a bit like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of the well rope for ten years.

A group of naïve old black stars also posted "frightened" expressions below today to show their shock, because the one in Zhang Fu's hand is not a paper walnut, but a round hard-skin walnut that is so thick that he has no friends, and he did not use two walnuts to squeeze each other to make tricks, although a few photos are not enough to prove that Zhang Zhu did not do tricks, but referring to him almost shook the hand of Ma Long, the first muscular man in the NBA, everyone has reason to believe that he really did not cheat.

Zhang Wei didn't know that just a few hours ago, a trumpet with Kobe's avatar exposed a picture of O'Neal accidentally hurting his finger by pinching walnuts at home on the Dragonborn forum, which immediately caused many people to laugh, and the fat man's big hands were really so big.

O'Neill was obviously naïve, he actually went to test it with thick and hard walnuts, and the result was naturally a street.

If Zhang Qi saw it, he would definitely laugh at O'Neill, the kind of person who can pinch walnuts with his bare hands, it is estimated that there are not many in the world. Especially the walnuts that O'Neill pinched, at first glance, they are koala babies in the walnut world, and it is estimated that it is difficult to open them with walnut clips, and I don't know which guy who lacks virtue gave it to him.

Today's Lakers starters are the same as they were on the court, and the Jazz's starters are unchanged.

Sloan believes that in the fourth game, they did not lose to the Lakers' weird interior, but Malone had a surprise on this point.

Harris felt that they failed to play the power of this lineup in the last game. The Jazz can't play without either Malone and Stockton now, but the last game was without Malone, and the Lakers can win with any lineup, which is tantamount to hiding the true power of this lineup.

In the opening scrum, Zhang Zhu faced Ma Long this time, which was a duel between a big forward and a small forward, although both of them could be raised to one more position.

Malone is not hopeful about the scrum, he has been unable to jump in the early years, and his trademark dunk with the back of the head has been used less and less in recent years. Well, people aren't touching the back of their heads, they're putting their hands behind their ears to listen to applause and cheers, but they look like they're touching the back of their heads from a TV angle.

There are many stars in the NBA who have imitated this classic move of Ma Long, but he must least want to see Zhang Qian make this move in front of him.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, after losing to Zhang Fu in the opening jump ball, Ma Long saw this action from Zhang Fu only a minute later.

In this game, the Lakers focused on defense after the opening, and the cooperation between Zhang Mao and Big Ben was obviously much more tacit than in the previous game, after all, the two have played together for two years, and as long as they run in a little, they can have a high chemistry.

Zhang Wei was already familiar with Big Ben's defensive style and habits in the virtual space, and only a minute after the opening, the two teamed up to break McDyce's break. Zhang Qi drove a long run at full speed to shake off the Jazz players, and successfully staged a dunk on the back of the head in front of Malone.

It was the first score of the day, and the Jazz's defense was not bad, they managed to defend the first two attacks of the Lakers, but this dunk was too demoralizing. The Lakers, who were playing at home, easily seized the morale high ground with a single dunk. But what is a little embarrassing is that both teams used regional joint defense + defensive counterattack tactics after the opening today, but one set the joint defense area on the inside line, and the other set the regional joint defense on the outside line.

But there are still some differences in similar offensive and defensive tactics, the Lakers' offense and defense are four or six, and the Jazz's offense and defense are three or seven, which is also a compromise by Malone's poor hand, Sloan pressed the offensive arrow on McDyes's today, and Malone's task is to transit and defend, completely playing the role of "postman".

But the Lakers have already targeted, and it can be seen from the counterattack after the ball break this time, Harris put the focus of defense next to McDyes, and still adopted a semi-relaxed strategy for Malone, as long as he is not attacking with the ball in the restricted area, then see if he can throw the ball in.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' regional defense and counterattack played very high-quality, and the double interior line of Big Ben and Zhang Mao had the desired effect on the defensive end, and it was difficult for McDyce to attack the basket directly after blocking and dismantling, and he would be caught by the two as soon as he broke through with the ball.

This can be seen that McDéce's choice of breakthrough timing and breakthrough route is still a lot worse than Malone, he is easy to rush into the encirclement by himself and cannot extricate himself, and it is not reliable enough for him to be the offensive arrow, and now Maddies can only assume the role of assisting Malone.

Stockton was also affected, a point that the Lakers couldn't defend in the first three games, and both of which were also controlled by Kidd. Because the Lakers left Malone alone outside the restricted area, concentrating superior forces to encircle and suppress these two people, the effect is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

The Bulls, who are watching the live broadcast at the moment, feel a little sorry for the Jazz, because this is the kind of defense that no team dared to take against the Jazz in the past, but today's Malone only scored one in the first three shots, and it was without too much defensive pressure, which made the Jazz and Malone very embarrassed.

The Jazz's defensive counterattack and regional defense did not achieve the expected effect, because the Lakers have the strong point of Zhang Fu, and when the Jazz's outside rotation came over, Zhang Zhu was very easy to use his height to continuously shoot long-range shots on the heads of Lao Huo and Eric.

The first quarter quickly became a game that highlighted the role of superstars, and the Jazz did not have a strong point to break through the defense alone, but the Lakers had Zhang Qi who could find scoring opportunities in the same intensity of defense, even if his scoring efficiency was not particularly high, but it was enough for the Lakers to slowly gain the lead.

At 5 minutes and 52 seconds in the first quarter, Zhang Zhu turned on the scoring mode, tried three points on the outside in a row and hit two shots, which made the difference between the two sides instantly become 10 points.

Sloan hurriedly asked for a timeout, and Zhang Zhu, a center, always ran to the outside to do things, forcing him to replace Malone who only made 1 of 4 shots, and then replaced Russell and Eric, the two small forwards, on the court, plus McDyce who was topped as a center, the Jazz also became a strange lineup, and their interior line was equivalent to standing three forwards.

But this change of tactics was clever, not only using Russell and Eric to curb Zhang Zhu's madness on the inside and outside, but also using a strategy of defending on the spot in the event of an offensive attempt, slowing down the Lakers' counterattack and allowing the team to gain time to defend the position.

Media people from all walks of life have to sigh that the strange lineup of the Lakers and Jazz has not yet appeared in the history of the NBA, and the tallest players of these two teams are actually Zhang Zhu and McDyes, and there is not even a player with a real height of more than 206cm in the whole court, what is this thing for?

Don Nelson and Pat Riley in front of the TV are frowning, isn't this the best and most ideal lineup in their minds? Especially for the Lakers, their shortest Kidd is 193cm tall, the tallest Zhang Mao is 205cm tall, and the average height is just over two meters, which is really a perfect lineup!

Sloan didn't feel perfect at all, he was completely forced to send such a strange lineup to restrict Zhang Fu, but the problem was that Zhang Zhu was finally temporarily pressed by them, but his side couldn't take the opportunity to chase points, which was really embarrassing!

The Jazz's problem is still the same as in the last game, their defense will not be affected too much, but the offensive end is really not good without Malone. Without him on the Jazz's roster, their perfect iron triangle would not work, Stockton would have a hard time getting rid of Kidd, McDies would have struggled with Big Ben, and Zhang Fu would have done whatever he wanted on the court.

Zhang Qi was actually only suppressed for a short time, and he quickly moved to the low post to play singles, which immediately made the Jazz fall into passivity again, because with Russell or Eric to defend, the two of them could not withstand Zhang Zhu's back play. But with Ostertag as a center to defend, Zhang Zhu can get rid of this slow-moving interior line by pulling forward or turning backwards casually.

So what to do?

Of course, it can only be wrapped.

But going to the low post will inevitably expose the outside line, and the real purpose of the Lakers is to let Zhang Qi involve the defense, so that Jones and Kidd on the weak side can attack, and these two people are not easy to block when they burst out.

Sloan couldn't catch the Lakers' change of tricks this time, and Zhang Mao's play at the center position can not only bring defensive benefits to the Lakers, but his greater threat is on the offensive end.

The Jazz have been completely unable to cope with such a center since the last game, is this TMD still a center?

Sloan has never seen a center who can not only break through the long shot from the outside, but also play with his dream feet in the low post?

The magician back then, that was only a nominal center, and he didn't really play like a center. But Zhang Fu can switch his role from the outside to the inside at will, and he can really play like a center.

In the second half of the first quarter, Zhang Zhu played a dream step in the low position, which he usually uses, and there is no problem with using it as a conventional weapon today. If you really want to talk about it, Olajuwon is three or four centimeters taller than him, and the fact that the goods falsely reported his height is not news, so although his dream steps are not as good as the rhythm of Big Dream, but the explosiveness is much stronger, and the final output is no worse than Big Dream.

Throughout the first quarter, Zhang Zhu not only could practice on the outside, but also frequently enter the interior to make trouble, and even the rebounds were not ambiguous, and the performance of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter made the Jazz GG ahead again, and the Lakers led by 12 points at 33:21 after the first quarter.

Zhang said that he had no pressure to play center today, and Malone almost didn't come to attack him in the first quarter, because the Lakers directly let go of Ma Long. If that cargo rushes into the inside to attack, Zhang Qi and Big Ben will immediately team up to pounce and block, and Malone will find it difficult to shoot the ball even from close range in such a bag, and the only shot in the first quarter of the game is still with his left hand.

In the second quarter, the Jazz continued to play iron in the second half of the first quarter, and Zhang Qi has begun to develop the confidence of his teammates, and he will try to let his teammates score points, because he knows that the next game is the real challenge.

Big Ben said that the place where I gained confidence is no longer on the offensive end, Zhang Zhu also understands that this is a freak who really adds skill points to defense, and Mutombo actually wants to score points, but Big Ben is really not interested in scoring, he is too similar to Rodman in this regard.

Kidd said, "I want to score," and Zhang really needs him to contribute more on the offensive end. Xiao Zhengtai had a strong desire to attack in this quarter, hitting two free throws first, and then hitting three points soon after to extend the lead to 15+.

The more the Jazz lost, the more morale grew, and it was clear that this was another game that was about to be beaten.

Malone and Stockton can only come up with killer tools at critical moments, but the Lakers don't care how the Jazz block and dismantle, Malone can let it go anyway, even if he gets a few points under the basket, it doesn't matter, at most it is to help the Jazz stop the bleeding, but it is far from enough to narrow the point difference.

In 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the second quarter, Malone finally broke out and scored 4 points in a row, and McDaces also completed 2+1 on the big book, and the Jazz finally had some momentum.

But Jones quickly returned a three-pointer, Kidd made two free throws on Stockton, and Big Ben was at a disadvantage against McDyes, but he got back the points he had lost on the rebound.

At 6 minutes and 12 seconds, McDies was grabbed by Big Ben for a frontcourt rebound under the basket, and Zhang Yu hit a three-point shot to directly extend the advantage to 20+.

The morale of the Jazz players plummeted again, and they struggled to recover a little, and in the blink of an eye, the Lakers accelerated and easily pulled away, and this sense of despair really made them unable to keep fighting hard.

Sloan could only ask for a timeout, and this time Malone took the initiative to ask for help, and he was going to attack Zhang Qi in the low post.

Zhang Yu has been waiting for him for a long time, and Ma Long was not forced to come to him head-on until the team was almost cold, which was obviously not confident enough in his palm.

However, Ma Long's back is still very threatening, if it weren't for the palm injury, Zhang Yu would never dare to guarantee that he could prevent it.

For a long time, there has been a very strange phenomenon in the NBA, that is, in addition to Jazz fans, fans of other teams always have a vague impression of Karl Malone's back play, and even think that Malone's back play is very average.

This is because the Malone they saw from the highlights is either a "postman" like a layup and pass, or a tough body pressing attack, more of a mid-range shot or homeopathic layup after blocking and dismantling, but one-on-one back hitting seems to be really rare.

Well, of course, it is the embodiment of the lack of popularity of the Jazz team and Malone, in fact, nearly half of the Jazz team's offense starts with Malone's back play, if his back play is not strong enough, it is obviously impossible.

Malone generally uses the cover to come to the strong side position, catches the ball with his back to find an opportunity to step back and make a jumper or does a jumper feint and then forces a layup, and when encountering an opponent with insufficient height and strength, he will also carry it into the three-second zone and force a layup like Ao Fat. In addition, one thing that Malone is stronger than most of the No. 4 positions is that he is extremely responsive, often being able to give a messenger pass to a teammate in the open cut after receiving the ball in the low post, or even a pass without looking at the back of his head.

This is where his nickname "Postman" comes from, on the one hand, he has not missed a game for more than a decade, and he never misses work like a postman delivering letters every day. But at the same time, it also means that he has good execution skills, accurate passing, and can deliver a letter to his master like a postman.

But Zhang Wei is too bad, he will never fight brute force when defending Ma Long, and he will definitely make a bunch of small movements in the back whenever he has the opportunity, such as horizontal elbows, top knees, foot pads, pinching, dragging...... As long as the referee doesn't stare at him, then these actions are not used alone, and each shot must be a set of combos.

Even if Ma Long is in a safe and unharmed state, he will be uncomfortable in the face of Zhang Fu's strong and dangerous defense, not to mention that he is now in a state where the accuracy of his last shot has dropped by 50%, and the shooting rate on Zhang Zhu is limited compared to Daben.

Needless to say, although Malone scored 10 points in the second quarter, he used a full 10 shots.

At first glance, this efficiency doesn't sound bad, and if you can score one point every time you make a shot, it's already a very good performance and efficiency.

But if you count the offensive rounds that the Jazz delayed in order to allow Malone to successfully receive the ball and attack, it is actually not very efficient, because there are many offenses that fail before Malone receives the ball, or offensive failures caused by Malone being unable to make a passive pass after receiving the ball, as well as 24-second violations, etc...... If you count these failed offenses, it's really not very efficient.

The Lakers have been firmly in control of the initiative in the first half, Kidd, Starks, and Jones are in excellent shape, and the Lakers can suppress the Jazz without Zhang Yi's shots.

Before the end of the first half, Zhang Zhuzhong got a free throw opportunity to complete 2+1 after a foul by Ma Long, and then attracted three people to assist Starks to shoot a three-pointer, and the Lakers fixed the score at 73:50 before halftime, and once again entered the second half with a huge lead of 23 points.

There is not much suspense in such a game for a long time, and throughout the game, the Jazz have been playing the role of chasers, not only can they not prevent the Lakers' offense, but they have also been suppressed in rebounding.

In the first half, Big Ben grabbed 10 rebounds, Zhang Mao also had 9 rebounds, and even Kidd had 6 rebounds.

Combined, the trio grabbed seven frontcourt rebounds, and the Jazz lost so many backcourt rebounds that they were no longer qualified to win, and now other problems are just covering up the gross negligence in rebounding.

Onlookers are clear, in fact, there is definitely more than one problem exposed by the Jazz in these two games because of natural and man-made disasters, and their consecutive fiascos is definitely not just a Malone problem.

In fact, Sloan also knows that the problem is not only with Malone, if they only lose because of the lack of Malone's output, then they can't beat the Lakers at best, but they will never be won by the other side by a few points every game, which is not just a problem.

In the second half of the third quarter, Zhang Zhu and Big Ben played on the defensive end, and the two played wonderful co-defense and wrapping in a row, and the flexibility of the Lakers' regional joint defense was enhanced again; On the offensive end, Zhang Mao's low-post strong attack and passing, Kidd's organizational mobilization, Starks and Jones' weak-side breakthroughs, coupled with the team's accurate long-range shooting and counterattack, the Jazz could only be defeated like a mountain, and they could not organize effective resistance and counterattacks at all.

By the end of the quarter, the Lakers had extended their advantage to 28 points, and Sloane could only replace the main force early again in the face of his unmorale disciples, and was forced to press all his chips to the sixth game. It's a pity that the Lakers at that time were already in a state of worry-free progress and retreat.
