Chapter 371: Isn't there a force to win?

The three referees watched the slow-motion replay several times in front of the technical table, but they could not find any definite evidence that Stockton had done something bad again. In the end, after a long time of discussion, he could only force a technical foul to Stockton under pressure from the home team's fans. In fact, this is already a heavy sentence, and if you change the time and place, this can also be an ordinary foul.

Zhang Yu pretended to be a long time before he deceived a technical foul, the rate of return is too low, and he is too lazy to continue acting, especially when he saw that Kidd actually wanted to make free throws for him, Koala Baby almost hit a carp and then followed a 360-degree volley kick, kicking Xiao Zhengtai to the Jazz bench.

Kidd's heart did not fluctuate, and the Lakers players also guessed that Zhang Qiu was acting, but the fans and referees did not feel that he was working hard, because when Zhang Zhu took out a cracked protective shield from his crotch, the fans both in the scene and in front of the TV immediately yelled at Stockton.

"I'm not, I didn't, I didn't do it!"

Stockton instantly felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, which was definitely a dirty man's innocence out of thin air.

Zhang Yu said secretly: "Lao Tzu is the one who is dirty." Anyway, he broke this thing for a long time yesterday to get such a crack, and after testing it for a day, he found that even if there is such a crack, it will not be dispersed after being hit a few times, which can just be used to dirty people's innocence.

Now the evidence is ironclad, few people have brought the lower body shield, no one knows what this thing is, and even the referee has never seen this thing a few times. Although they did not change the sentence because of this, the three referees looked at Stockton in the same way that they looked at the criminal, and they really thought it was a crack that Stockton had touched.

"You're the real villain! No, you're a big liar! ”

Stockton saw that he couldn't explain clearly, so he could only scold Zhang Qi with hatred.

"I didn't say you did it, but people believe you did it, I just think it affected my performance and took it down."

Zhang's words made Stockton even more annoyed, but there was no reason to complain anymore, because Zhang Mao really just took off the shield and put it back on the bench. Of course, regardless of how he got it, it's hard to explain.

The Lakers kept the ball, and after Zhang Fu hit a free throw with his left hand, the Jazz players were disgusted by him, and Zhang Zhu's left-handed three-pointer almost killed them in the last game.

But when the koala baby hit an iron in the penalty area with his left hand, he was disgusted again, and sure enough, the convulsions of the left hand in addition to the face had to see whether the opponent could raise it.

Big Ben made a contribution to the basket this time, although he can't compare to Rodman in rebounding, but his talent in this area will not be worse than a few people, McDyes's standing in a more advantageous position this time, but he has not earned Big Ben, which shows that there is a gap between the two in rebounding.

Zhang Qi just got the basketball out of the restricted area, everyone thought he would shoot directly, no one defended him at the moment, but Zhang Zhu passed the ball to the basket. In the next second, Daben, who had never left the penalty area, perfectly explained why he was ridiculed by Mutombo on the offensive end, because he couldn't dunk this kind of aerial relay dunk, and the basketball bounced directly into Zhang Mao's hands.

"You're pretty good at smashing the ball!"

Zhang Qi took back the basketball and wanted to cry without tears, is this his rebound?

Big Ben said that he wanted to cry even more, because Zhang Ji passed the ball over again, but he really didn't want to shoot.

"You're not done, are you?"

Malone didn't give a chance this time, and directly slapped Big Ben's dunk down.

"Mine!"

Kidd came out of nowhere, picked up the basketball that had been shot down, and then passed it to Zhang Fu.

"Come on, I'd better do it myself."

Zhang Yi actually wanted to help Big Ben score two points, and now he didn't score any of the starters of the two teams. But now it seems that he did the opposite, missing two consecutive close dunks, and Mutombo probably laughed so hard that his eggs hurt.

In the first half of the game, I don't know if it was affected by Big Ben's scoring ability, except for Zhang Yi who scored two more points at the free throw line, the rest of the people did not complete the scoring in the sports battle, and the final score of the first half was fixed at 54:49, and the Lakers led by 5 points into the second half.

Zhang Wei had a game-high 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the first half, Kidd had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Mason had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Jones had 10 points, and Big Ben had 0 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

The Jazz's current trouble is not just five points behind, Malone and McDyess are both carrying three fouls, and even Stockton has two fouls plus a technical foul, and if this continues, Sloan is very doubtful that their iron triangle can survive the fourth quarter.

Stockton felt that this was not a matter of suspicion, he would definitely not be able to survive the whole game if he continued to play like this, and he didn't see the three referees look at him in the same way as he looked at the thief, which made him dare not use the small movements at his peak, for fear of being continuously whistled for fouls.

"Jason, don't you notice that the referee looks at him very pointedly?"

Zhang Wei was very dissatisfied with Kidd's failure to make Stockton into three fouls in the first half, and the referee obviously wanted to make Stockton, let alone three fouls, four fouls and five fouls could be wronged to him.

"I understand, boss, don't worry, I'll keep him in the second half and let him not survive, can't die."

Kidd never stiffened his mouth in front of Zhang Mao, and quickly stood up when he heard the words, and he must live up to the boss's expectations in the second half.

"Is that the right word?"

Zhang Yu shook his head, he had a deep sense of crisis in his heart, the Jazz's offensive rhythm in the first half was obviously messed up by the referee and him, but in this way, the Lakers only led by 5 points, and in the end, it was still difficult for the opponent to suffer a scoring drought.

But he can't force Mason and Big Ben anymore, one of these two can play well on the offensive end and strategy today, and the other can also contribute in rebounding and help defense, and they can't be expected to prevent Malone as a historic power forward, Rodman and Barkley don't dare to say that they can limit Malone to less than 25 points, and the Lakers only let Malone score 13 points in the first half today, which has exceeded pre-game expectations.

The Jazz's offense didn't change much in the second half, and all of their offense still revolved around the Iron Triangle.

This time, the Lakers are not only starting to defend with a large scale, but Big Ben and Mason are also wrestling against their own opponents.

This is the defensive tone set by the Lakers in the halftime, they must use large-scale physical contact to interfere with the Jazz's offense, as for the foul problem for the time being, there is no need to worry, the referees will definitely face them today, although the anal is hard.

After the Jazz players were continuously violated by the Lakers players, they were naturally not to be outdone, and the result was that the first 8 shots of the players on both sides in the second half were all iron, and it was not until Zhang Yu stood on the free throw line that the scoreboard finally moved.

"Watch out for that guy!"

After Zhang made both free throws, he saw Sloan replace Jeff Hornacek again, and hurriedly reminded his teammates to be careful of this guy.

Lao Huo has declined this season, and the regular season has given way to the young Doug Christie, but in the playoffs, the efficiency of the two has changed again, and the big game Lao Huo is obviously more threatening, and his condition has always been better than Christie.

It's the same today, Zhang Mao saw before the game that Lao Huo's ability value is 84 today, but Christie's ability value has dropped to 82, which is exactly the opposite of the ability value of the two in the regular season.

The Jazz were only 2-of-8 from three-point range in the first half, which is why they fell behind. However, in the second half, Lao Huo made the first three-point shot, and Lao Huo succeeded. Zhang Wei reminded that it was also a white reminder that Jones must help his interior teammates to trap Malone and McDyce, otherwise the interior line will lose points, and the Jazz's outside line must be let go many times, which is also a helpless compromise.

Lao Huo scored 5 points in a row alone, and the Lakers hurriedly called a timeout.

This timeout, in addition to targeting Lao Huo, who feels hot, is more important to optimize his offense.

After the timeout, the Lakers' offense began to revolve around Kidd, hoping that Shota Jr. could use his physical advantage to take off Stockton.

All the Lakers' next offense began to revolve around Kidd, and Stockton had to worry about the referee's targeting, and did not dare to caress the opponent unscrupulously, but this made it difficult for his nearly forty-year-old body to resist Kidd's collision, and a forty-year-old man is not the same as a forty-year-old woman.

Kidd quickly opened up on the offensive end, and the Lakers took advantage of Stockton's flaws on the defensive end to play a 12-4 climax, and the score was finally pulled away at 70-59.

At 3 minutes and 56 seconds in the third quarter, O'Neal Jr., who came off the bench, crossed an elbow when he was competing for a position with McDyes, hit the opponent's chin directly, and almost knocked out the braces, which made the two sides almost cause a conflict, and as a result, O'Neal Jr. and McDies each received a technical foul.

When Sloan saw this decision, he almost rushed to the referee and elbowed him to give him a taste, what is the reason for this kind of foul to make a big fifty board decision? This is obviously O'Neal Jr.'s malicious foul first, okay?

But in the eyes of the referee, since McDyess made a retaliatory move, he had to accept the punishment.

The subtext here is: What right do you have to retaliate? Do you have a backstage? Do you have a godson as awesome as David Stern?

Of course, McDice has no backstage, let alone a godson, so he can only swallow the grievances, and if he doesn't accept it, he will give you another technical offense.

So someone has to ask, can you do whatever you want with a backstage?

On this issue, Zhang Fu used a common foul at the end of the third quarter to prove that there is a backstage that can indeed do whatever he wants.

At that time, there were 33 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Big Ben lost his position in the Jazz's blocking offense, McDies cut into the basket and was about to fly to the basket, Zhang Yu suddenly came from the weak side, and hit his lower body with a punch, of course, McDies didn't even have time to scream, and fell down!

However, this time, Zhang was not punished for a technical foul or malicious foul, because the referee determined through a slow-motion replay that he was pushed by a teammate to wave his hand and hit McDyce, and it was Mason who didn't have time to brake and pushed him, which had nothing to do with the koala baby.

Sloan couldn't bother venting his anger at the moment, he just wanted to know if McDies was hurt?

At this time, it can be seen that Zhang Qi is still not ruthless enough, his heart is too kind, although McDyce is about to cry in pain, but the two egg yolks are not broken into one piece.

But the foul eventually gave the Lakers a 76-64 lead heading into the final quarter, with Zhang scoring another 12 points in the quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, the referee finally stopped taking sides, and Malone, who committed four fouls, immediately made two consecutive Mason fouls.

These two guys with open upper bodies, of course, Malone is better.

Mason has an opinion on this, because Malone is not fighting for muscles with him at all, this bastard will use his elbow to pull horizontally before every attack, this is not a question of whether the muscles are strong or not, everyone has to dodge. But do you think that's all there is to it? Of course, not only that, Malone will also use his shoulder or iron elbow to open the way when he breaks through to the basket, if the referee does not target his actions, Mutombo can only do his best, to prevent him from having to wrap up, that is, he has to arrange someone to sneak attack on the weak side.

After Malone succeeded in Mason once, Zhang Zhu repeatedly let go of his opponents to help defend the Lakers, and the Lakers' rotational defense only started in the fourth quarter, and they used the home whistle to interfere with the Jazz's offensive rhythm in the first three quarters.

However, the Jazz's iron triangle did make the Lakers' overall rotation a little overwhelmed without the referee's targeting, especially Stockton's just right pass, which can always pass the ball to a threatening teammate after the Lakers rotate away, which makes the Jazz's triangle more threatening than the Bulls' triangle back then.

At 7:20, after Malone hit both free throws, Stockton also hit a three-pointer, and the Jazz forced the deficit back to 10 points.

Zhang Wei stood up at this time, he first received Kidd's pass with an advance amount of passes, passed McDyce and Brian, faced the basket under Malone directly in the air and tossed high, and in the next round, he directly changed direction in front of Malone and threw the ball into the gap.

Uncle "Postman" could only watch the basketball fly over his fingers in these two defenses, and he could only sigh that the years were unforgiving, because he really couldn't jump.

The Lakers' tactics at this time are very clear, as long as they hold on to a ten-point advantage, which is exactly the same as the plan of the last Sloan.

Then the two sides started a tug-of-war at the key node of "ten", Jones's two layups made the Jazz bag Zhang Qi pay the price, and the long-range shots of Brian Russell and Lao Huo also made Zhang Zhu pay the price for Ma Long.

But the Lakers can afford to pay that price, and as time goes on, the Jazz must step up their offense, and they are now on the side of the point chase, and they can't afford to drag it out.

In the 4th minute and 24 seconds, Jones missed a three-point shot from the outside, the Jazz was in a hurry to play a fast break, and the frontcourt rebounds had already been obtained by McDyce, but when he passed, he was directly cut off by Big Ben on the side.

This steal cost the Jazz his life, Zhang Yu received the pass, forcibly dragged it for 20 seconds, and finally relied on his personal ability to force Eric, deceived two free throws on McDyce, who was making up the defense, and beat the opponent into 6 fouls.

The mentality of the Jazz players exploded, and the momentum of the Lakers soared, although the replacement of Ostertag was not a dish, but the Lakers completely exploded on the offensive end, Kidd and Jones broke through and scored one after another, and Zhang Yu grabbed a frontcourt rebound on the horse's head, which finally made the Jazz's final counterattack useless.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 102-90 and finally held on to their second road.

"We actually won on rebounding?"

Zhang Wei is a little shameless, he forgot what role his 48 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks played in it, and rebounding is just one part of it.
