"They're a young team and it's certainly amazing that those two rookies have come this far in their first season, and the future will probably be theirs, but not now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Carl Malone said at the press conference with a smile on his face.

John Stockton and Jerry Sloan next to him also smiled, although the Lakers have grown a lot, they are far from their opponents.

'They're very aggressive, they're a tough opponent and our next goal is to win the next home game.' Stockton also maintained his demeanor.

Shortly after the end of the first game between the Lakers and the Jazz, another game in the West, the Houston Rockets and the Seattle SuperSonics were also separated, the Rockets defeated the SuperSonics 112-102 at home, and the Supersonic Shaun Kemp scored 24 points and 11 boards in the face of the Rockets, and he had the upper hand in the confrontation with Olajuwon, allowing Olajuwon to only get 15 points and 11 boards, but this is also because Olajuwon's offensive desire in this game is not strong, and he only made 11 shots in the whole game, Hit 6 goals.

Drexler, on the other hand, played well, scoring a team-high 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting. A total of five Rockets scored more than 15 points on the team, and this all-round performance forced the SuperSonics to swallow a bitter loss.

May 6th

The second game between the Lakers and the Jazz.

The Lakers are very high-spirited today, and the loss in the last game did not give them much of a blow, because they know that their strength is not as good as the Jazz, so there is not much pressure in their hearts, and they plan to let go of this game today, if they can win one game on the road, it is the best, if they can't win, it is also reasonable, they can return to the home court at that time to wait for work.

The game starts with both sides jumping the ball.

The center of the Jazz team is Greg Ostertag, the big man of 2.18 meters is a rookie in the '95 season, he can contribute 7.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2 blocks per game this season, his tall body can support the Jazz defense well, is a good blue-collar player.

Although Tony is still a little shorter than him, it doesn't prevent him from winning the jump ball.

The Lakers showed good offensive pressure from the beginning of the game, and the first shot was hit by Tony with a small hook shot by Ostertag, and Campbell started for Hawley for the second game in a row, which made everyone wonder if Hawley had been abandoned.

However, it seems that Campbell's top starter effect is not bad, and the Lakers have played with the Jazz for a while, but Kobe Bryant's condition is still very bad, it seems that the Jazz is his nemesis, and every time he encounters the Jazz this season, his offense will be habitually dumb.

It can only be said that the Jazz's defensive strategy is too restrained Kobe, although Harris is helpless about Kobe's inefficiency, he does not dare to put Kobe on the cold bench, because no matter how bad Kobe's state is, his ability to attract packs is also a tactical point that the Lakers rely on very much.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Jazz by three points, 24-27.

In the second quarter, Harris still put Tony on the court, and in the last game, he directly caused the collapse of the Lakers because he replaced Tony at the beginning of the second game, and he didn't dare to make such a mistake again in this game.

Tony also played well in the first quarter, he had 6 points and 4 rebounds on 3-of-6 shooting, and all 4 rebounds were offensive rebounds.

He was still very strong in the second quarter, because the Jazz replaced both leading players, so the Lakers managed to overtake the score for a while under the leadership of Toney. Hawley played well off the bench, he hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, Tony also scored three consecutive shots under the basket, and the Jazz's backup center Greg Foster couldn't limit Toney's play at all, and he let Tony almost get what he wanted under the basket.

With another three-pointer from Hawley, the Lakers stretched the deficit to five points, and Jerry Sloan immediately called a timeout, and the black and white duo rested for so long enough time to put the two Jazz leaders on the court.

Harris was also very straightforward in his starting lineup.

As the game continued, the Lakers' offensive efficiency was still good, but the Jazz were indeed more efficient, and they didn't have almost no mistakes to create opportunities for the Lakers to play defensive counterattacks.

With the absolute suppression of strength, the Jazz slowly recovered the score and overtook the Lakers again.

Throughout the second quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides were very terrifying, and their score reached 31:32 in a single quarter.

The Lakers weren't as quick as they were in the last game, and they got entangled, but the odds still didn't work against them.

In the second half, the two sides still maintained a very high shooting percentage, and Bryant did not force himself to play hard, he tried to shoot a few times, but the shooting percentage was still not high, and then he began to make the ball for his teammates.

Tony played very hard today, he almost single-handedly supported the Lakers' interior line, and Harris no longer bothered with letting Tony pull out to defend since he saw that Tony couldn't defend him, and he handed over the responsibility that Tony was originally responsible for.

The Lakers relied on Toney's excellent play to recover a little bit of the score in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were tied at 85-87, and the Lakers were only two points behind, which made the Lakers team even more aggressive, and they saw hope of victory in this game.

"Hey! Take your lives to defend in the final quarter! These Utah guys aren't that scary, we can beat them and win this game! Let's go back to Los Angeles!"

Both teams broke out in the final quarter with the strongest defensive strength, the Lakers want to win one game on the road, and the Jazz believe that this game is the strongest state of the Lakers, as long as they beat the Lakers in this game, then they will not have much pressure in the next two games, even if they are at home in Los Angeles.

The Lakers relied on the individual physical gifts of the players, while the Jazz relied on perfect defensive tactics, and both sides actually limited the opponent's scoring.

Both teams were very strangely locked in a battle for the entire quarter, and their shooting percentages dropped very quickly.

Toni didn't get a minute's rest for the whole game, and he really worked hard for this win.

Until there were only five seconds left in the game, the two teams were tied at 101.

It's just the Jazz's possession, and they still have one last chance to attack, and the Lakers must guard this shot before they have a chance to drag the game into overtime.
