The Jazz's defense was implemented quickly, and they didn't give the Lakers a chance to counterattack, Kobe Bryant's pullup jump shot was inaccurate, and Ostertag controlled the defensive rebound.

But then the Jazz's offense also hit the iron, and the defensive intensity of both teams has risen to a perverted level, and the Lakers' players have begun to fight with the Jazz.

Campbell broke through the frame, and was directly slapped by Malone and flew away, Jazz counterattacked, Brian Russell broke through and was dragged down by Kobe Bryant, this foul action was a bit big, Russell got up from the ground and angrily stepped forward to settle accounts with Kobe, Kobe did not flinch, he collided with Russell viciously.

The conflict between the two was on the verge of breaking out, teammates on both sides stepped forward to pull them away, and the referee immediately gave each of them a foul.

Russell walked to the free throw line, and his hand was still a little painful when he was pulled by Kobe Bryant, which also affected his free throw shooting percentage, and Russell missed the first free throw.

He took a deep breath and quickly made adjustments, stumbling into the basket on his second free throw, and Russell hit one of two free throws.

After returning to the Lakers' round, Russell also made a retaliatory move, when Bryant changed direction in a row past Hornace and killed the Jazz inside, he threw down Jones, who was defending himself, and stepped forward to make up for it.

Kobe flicked his shoulders and passed past him, seeing that the defense was out of position, Russell actually slapped Kobe and put him directly on the ground.

"Drop!"

The referee blew out Russell's foul quickly and was very agile enough to keep Russell out of Kobe Bryant's way of getting up from the ground.

Just kidding, if you don't stop them in time, such an action will definitely trigger a fight between the two sides.

Sure enough, after Kobe Bryant got up, he wanted to step forward to beat Russell, but fortunately, the referee was clever enough to block Kobe in time.

In this way, a fist and kick were avoided.

was stopped by the referee, Kobe Bryant looked obviously very angry, although he couldn't move, he still scolded Russell in the air.

Tony stepped forward and didn't know what to say to Kobe, but after he finished speaking, Kobe's anger subsided a little.

Bryant took a deep breath and stepped onto the free throw line.

The audience responded with the warmest applause, and they were also glad that Kobe Bryant was not impulsive in the end, otherwise it would be worth the loss if he was sent off in such an important game.

Bryant steadied himself and hit both free throws.

In this way, in the following time, the two sides still played very violently, and the shooting percentages of both teams began to plummet, so that for a period of time, neither team scored in a sports battle except for free throws.

Under the long-term high-intensity confrontation, the Lakers' physical advantage in relative youth gradually emerged, although the two teams were still playing iron, but the Lakers gradually began to recover the score.

Although it was not obvious and the speed of chasing the points was very slow, it was almost noticeable, but no matter what, the difference between the two teams gradually began to close.

In the entire third quarter, the score of the two teams was 16:13, and the combined score of both teams did not reach 30, which shows the frantic defense of both sides, and the Lakers also struggled to narrow the score to five points in this desperate wrestling, and now they are still temporarily behind 61:66.

But the Lakers' players have already sparked some hope.

"Continue to maintain our defensive intensity, they are all a bunch of old men, the more we get to the back, the less physical strength is inferior to us, and now we are only five points away from them, which is nothing, come on!"

Encouraged by Harris, the Lakers' players were in high spirits, and Tony drank all the Gatorade in his hands, and then wiped the sweat off his head with a towel, he was now very tired.

In the first three quarters, he has been wrestling with Ostertag, his shooting touch is not good, a total of 13 shots, only 4 shots, 12 points and 8 boards, but Ostertag is also uncomfortable, his four shots are all wide under Toney's defense, and he has not scored a point.

It's just that he was already tired of the last Ostertag, plus Karl Malone, Tony was hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and although Campbell had tried his best in the third quarter, he was still blown up by Karl Malone.

Karl Malone can be said to be a big kill today, not only did he hit frequently from the outside, but he was also able to get fouls from time to time, and with one quarter left in the game, he had already cut down 20 points and 15 rebounds.

And the Jazz's best outside play is their other core player Stockton, who has scored 12 points on five shots in the entire first half, and although the third quarter has dropped slightly under the Lakers' high-pressure defense, he still shot 2 of 4 and maintained a 50% shooting rate, and he also delivered 16 points and 3 assists in the third quarter.

However, apart from the two elders of the Jazz team, other players did not stand up for them to share, which is the main reason why the Jazz team has not been able to open up the situation for a long time.

The fourth quarter began quickly.

Although the defense of both sides is still tough, after a quarter of adaptation, the players of both teams have begun to get used to this defensive intensity, and the feelings of both sides have gradually begun to warm.

Stockton hit a three-pointer to reopen the scoring for the Jazz, but it didn't last long for the Lakers to chase back the score as Kobe Bryant continued to score single-handedly.

In the third minute of the final quarter, Tony also received the ball inside and shook off Ostertag and made a layup, and then in the next round, he risked a breakthrough dunk from Karl Malone, which made the Lakers' momentum reach a peak.

And the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene also brought the game to its climax.

Harris's heart that has been hanging has finally been relieved, and now the Lakers' momentum has overshadowed the Jazz, and the next game will be much easier.

Fisher scored a three-pointer from Jones, and the Lakers managed to tie the score, forcing Sloan to call a timeout.

Sloan rearranged his tactics and hoped to use the timeout to break the Lakers' momentum.

At this time, what tactics or something is no longer the most important, both sides have already taken bayonets, and the competition is who can take advantage of this momentum.

Now it seems that this trend is on the side of the Lakers, and their Jazz team is in danger.

Harris, known as the "Silver Fox", is naturally not a fool, and he knows this very well.
