Chapter 107: A good start

Harris anxiously watched the sudden situation on the field, he had no idea that in the first game of the new season, the team had an injury, which was not a good sign for the team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Alas, overall, these guys have had too comfortable this summer, Harris can't help but sigh in his heart, once the players do not train for a long time and their muscles relax, and then suddenly start a high-intensity confrontation, so the chance of injury will undoubtedly be much greater.

Knowing that he should have gathered them earlier and started training, Harris secretly regretted it in his heart.

After a long time, Campbell was finally able to get back to his feet with the help of his teammates, and he tried to take a few steps, but it still looked a little faltering, and in this situation, Gary Wetti decided to let him go down for a check-up.

Seeing the eager expression on Harris's face, Gary Witti comforted him in his ear, and Harris's face looked more comfortable.

For the time being, Campbell only has an ankle sprain, which is not a big injury, and the pain is short and intense, and it can be almost healed as long as he rests for a while.

But even so, in today's game, Campbell seems to have little hope of returning.

Campbell's injury didn't have much of an impact on the Lakers, and Harris sent Sean Lukes to replace Campbell's No. 5 spot, and the game continued.

What Tony didn't expect after he was promoted to the No. 4 position was that Carl Malone took the initiative to start falling low, and in the first half, Jazz Ostertag's offense on the inside was unfavorable, so that Carl Malone had to personally support the Jazz's interior offense, which happened to fall into Toney's arms.

Don't look at Carl Malone's ability to respond in a high position, in fact, his muscles are not in vain, his strength is very strong, and Tony even found that his perverted power can't get much benefit in front of Malone.

Malone is not the kind of person who chisels a tendon to the inside, and his status skills are also very good, not only the small hook on the back or the flip jumper, he seems to be handy.

However, although Tony can't suppress Malone in terms of strength, he can at least guarantee that Malone will not be allowed to enter the interior, and he frequently fights with Malone physically, intending to use this to make Malone's shooting percentage decline.

Under the fierce hand-to-hand combat between the two, Ma Long's offensive efficiency really began to decrease.

Once Malone's state declined, the Jazz's offensive efficiency was suddenly greatly reduced, and Hornacek lost some of his self-confidence in the second half after being beaten by Kobe Bryant in a row.

Finally, the Lakers began to complete the comeback and gradually pulled the score wider and wider, while the Jazz, who were originally invincible, just waited to watch but could not regain the advantage.

In the end, the Jazz still relied on Karl Malone, as if they were returning to the past, and with about a minute left in the third quarter, he scored two consecutive goals to cut down four points, and also blocked Jones' buzzer-beating pullup jumper.

At the end of the third quarter, 68-64, the Jazz trailed by four points.

If it weren't for Malone's big explosion at the last moment, the difference between the two teams would be about to reach ten points, although Malone exploded, but the tense nerves of the Lakers' players slowly relaxed.

Malone's outburst is just a small episode, and now the momentum on the court has come to the side of the Lakers, overall, Tony's restrictions on Malone, are still very effective, as long as he can continue to maintain a high-intensity defense of Malone, just with the other players of the Jazz playing in today's game, the scale of the game has begun to tilt to the side of the Lakers.

Harris didn't make any changes to the lineup in the fourth quarter, and he continued the lineup in the third quarter.

Sure enough, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' players were simply imposing, they launched a fierce attack on the Jazz as soon as they got on the court, Kobe Bryant continued to break through and tear apart the Jazz's defensive formation, and Fisher was also flexible like a small fish in the water, although he rarely attacked, but his coquettish move was to disturb the Jazz's outside line, Sloan also considered ignoring Fisher to focus on defending Kobe, but the price he paid for it was two blockbuster three-pointers in a row.

Fisher's two three-pointers can be said to have directly blown up the Jazz, and their defense was completely messed up.

It was at this moment that Sloan thought of Stockton's goodness, and if Stockton was there, how could he give a player like Fisher a chance to play?

However, nostalgia is useless, watching Kobe and Jones harvest the lives of the Jazz on the court one by one, and their only hope, Karl Malone, is also entangled by Tony and has no energy at all.

Tony seems to have completely given up the offensive opportunity, he left all the limelight to Kobe Bryant and Jones on the outside, he is now like a piece of kraft candy, Carl Malone wherever he goes, he also follows, endlessly going around to prevent Malone from receiving the ball, and all kinds of pushing and shoving small actions also make Malone complain.

Within a few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Jazz basically collapsed, they couldn't prevent the Lakers' stormy offense, Jerry Sloan sighed secretly, he replaced Karl Malone, the Jazz are now widening the difference, they lost this game.

Replacing the leading player, this also means that the Jazz announced their surrender, no matter how excited Harris is, he has no intention of falling into the ground, seeing Sloan's move, he also waved his hand and directly began to practice with the bench lineup.

Amid the screams and cheers of countless fans at the Forum Arena, the Lakers defeated the visiting Jazz by a huge margin of 17 points at home, and they won the season opener.

Even after the game, the Lakers fans still haven't left, they are still partying, this victory, the Lakers have been waiting for a whole year!

Although the lack of a big man for the Jazz to win this game so easily is also one of the reasons, but, whatever! Just win.

Kobe Bryant looked in high spirits, he scored 34 points on 12-of-26 shooting in this game, compared to the three three-shots he shot under the Jazz's defense in the playoffs last season, and then ended the series with regrets, and today he finally took revenge and proved himself, and his hard work in the summer was not in vain.
