Jerry Sloan called a timeout, and he began to lay out the last offensive tactic, which was actually very simple, that is, Malone and Stockton blocked and picked up the space to make the last attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Harris also knows that the Jazz's final offense will definitely be played by black and white, but in fact, the Lakers have not had a very good defensive method for their blocking, and basically can only rely on tough physical confrontation to increase their physical exertion, thereby reducing their shooting touch.

However, Harris still tried his best to lay out a series of defensive strategies, his most emphasis is to prevent Stockton from receiving the ball, since he can't prevent it, then try not to let their tactical initiator receive the ball, after arranging all this, the next thing Harris has to do is to pray to God.

The timeout ended, and the Jazz served at halftime.

Greg Ostertag is constantly on the lookout for Stockton.

However, the Lakers also set a lot of hurdles for Stockton, preventing him from easily finding the spot to receive the ball.

Just when the Jazz were about to break the five-second violation, Jerry Sloan could only call another timeout, and the Lakers' defense was obviously very targeted, and Stockto had no chance to receive the ball at all.

This time, however, Jerry Sloan changed his strategy, setting up a couple of cover tactics for Hornacek, and then having Hornacek and Stockton run at the same time to confuse each other, in order to trick Harris into thinking that the Jazz would give the final attack to Hornacek this time, but the Jazz actually still had Stockton take the ball.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the running position of Hornacek and Stockton did confuse the Lakers for a while, you must know that although the Jazz's focus is on black and white, but so far in this game, Hornacek has unknowingly scored 21 points, he is the second highest score for the Jazz, second only to Karl Malone's 29 points.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Lakers were a little overwhelmed, Stockton secretly used Karl Malone's cover to get rid of Fisher, and circled around the inside to receive Ostertag's serve.

Fisher wasn't blocked for long, as Karl Malone ignored Fisher and ran out for Stockton as soon as he received the ball.

With Malone's pick-and-roll, Stockton once again got rid of Fisher, who had just caught up, and he went straight to the Lakers' basket.

Fisher didn't have a way to get around Malone's strong body at the first time, and although Stockton is a traditional point guard who focuses on passing, if someone underestimates his offense, it will definitely pay a heavy price, Campbell knows that Stockton has a good ability to attack the basket, and he quickly stood in front of Stockton to block his breakthrough route.

Stockton wasn't flustered, he dribbled the ball steadily, and his shoulders didn't shake in the slightest.

Fisher had already pounced at this time and was ready to switch defenses with Campbell, after all, if Stockton passed the ball to Malone if he didn't change the defense, Fisher's height would not be able to pose even the slightest threat to the tall and tall Malone.

The switch between the two was not unpleasant, but Stockton was quicker and he seized the moment to make a behind-the-ground pass.

Fisher instinctively stretched out his hand to steal, but what he didn't expect was that the route of Stockton's pass turned out to be under Fisher's crotch, and Fisher naturally broke off.

I saw the basketball pass under Fisher's crotch and appear accurately in the hands of Carl Malone in a very comfortable route, and Fisher didn't even figure out where Stockton's ball went for a while, creating opportunities that were not opportunities, such passing skills, Stockton really deserved to be the first point guard in the league.

When Karl Malone received the ball, there were only 1 and 3 seconds left, and he and Ben did not hesitate for a moment, and could only shoot immediately.

Campbell saw Malone's shot, and he tried his best to come forward and interfere with Malone's shot, but his lateral movement speed was not excellent, and he couldn't even touch the corner of Malone's clothes, so he could only watch him make a move.

The lights came on on the rebound, and almost at the same time, the basketball fell into the basket.

Karl Malone beats the Lakers!

Stockton and Malone hugged each other almost immediately, the pair have been together for 12 years, they have seen countless big scenes, and I don't know how many times this cooperation has appeared, but this kind of playoff stunner still excites them.

Campbell shook his head in annoyance, he was honest in this game and the restriction on Malone was relatively successful, although Malone scored 31 points, he still pressed Malone's shooting rate below 50 percent, however, all this lost its meaning with Malone hitting the killer ball.

The Lakers lost, and their current big score has become 0:2, and even if he doesn't score a point, it won't make any difference.

Tony slammed the floor in anger, he played the whole game, scored 28 points and 12 rebounds, but still failed to bring the team a victory, which made his belief in victory shaken a little.

This game was arguably the Lakers' best game against the Jazz this season, but they still lost, so even if they return to their home court and have home-court advantage, can they win? You know, the Lakers don't play like they are today in every game.

And Kobe Bryant could almost breathe fire in his eyes when he saw Malone hit the lore, and his anger was not lost to Tony, but he was angry with himself.

He scored just 15 points on 6-of-17 shooting in this game, which was the second consecutive game in which he shot less than 40 percent, and if he could have hit one or two more shots, the outcome of this game would have been completely different.

Although Harris was helpless in his heart, he quickly saw it, he knew very well that the difference in strength between the two teams was too big, even if the Lakers won this time, it would be nothing more than the result from 4:0 to 4:1, the Lakers are still too young, and compared with an old powerhouse like Jazz, they have too many weaknesses.

He shook Jerry Sloan's hand and hugged him.

'You've got some talented players and with that kind of squad you're going to have a bright future.' Jerry Sloan had no intention of beating Harris despite the win, and he praised the Lakers' talent.

However, these words were a little bitter to Harris's ears, this kind of thing is only qualified to be said by the victor, and he, as the loser, can only accept it silently.
