In just the opening minute, Toney completely conquered the fans at the Forum Arena with a blood-pumping performance, and he destroyed the supersonic psyche. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jim had put away his anger, and he was afraid. Not only Jim, but also Kemp, in just one round back and forth, Tony used his dominance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends to subdue the SuperSonics' interior line.

Even though the supersonic Karl quickly called a timeout, they still couldn't calm down.

Kemp didn't dare to dunk in front of Tony anymore, and Jim began to hold back when defending Tony. Tony started a rain on the supersonic inside, dunks, hooks, jump shots, and forced layups....... He can do anything tonight.

Even if Gary Payton and Schramf, the former best sixth man, still use an accurate mid-range shot to keep the supersonic alive, it all makes no sense, no one dares to rush into the interior line guarded by Tony, and the jump shot can't win the game.

Tony dominated the game.

Payton and Schramf combined for 48 points, but Tony alone blasted 41 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks as he single-handedly beat the SuperSonics.

"He's the next Shaq and he beat us in one round tonight." After the game, in the face of the interview, the legendary veteran coach George Carr said helplessly.

All the media came alive, and even USA Today, the largest newspaper in the United States, put Tony directly on the front page.

The title of the plate is a dazzling purple and gold, representing the Lakers - "The Second Shaq! 》

The accompanying picture is a snapshot of Tony riding Jim.

"Honey, you're amazing!" Outside the tunnel Jessica threw herself into Tony's arms, she said excitedly.

"Hee-hee, there's a beautiful woman watching, of course I'm going to explode." Tony smiled innocently, but his hands were not honest, and he grabbed Jessica's delicate buttocks hard, causing Jessica's face to blush. "I'm so good, is there any special reward for the night?"

"You pervert, you know how to eat my tofu." Jessica gently hammered your chest, but there was no displeasure on her face.

"Okay, don't tease you, I'm going to Utah tomorrow to play away, and I don't want to be out of bed tomorrow morning." Tony kissed Jessica, then he thought of something, and continued, "By the way, I bought a house today, and I will move in in two days, why don't you stop living in that place in the future and come to live with me?" ”

Jessica hesitated.

"What's wrong?" As if he saw that something was wrong with Jessica, Tony was a little nervous, "Don't you want to?" ”

"Of course not!" Jessica hurriedly said, "I just think that we have only been together for a few days, and we are going to live together, will it be too soon." ”

Tony was speechless at this time, he really didn't think of this, although he was only worried about Jessica's safety before he proposed to ask her to move over, but after thinking about it, the two lived together for a few days, and this level of development was indeed a bit fast.

It's a contradiction, and Tony is a bit nerve-wracking.

Looking at Tony's embarrassed expression, Jessica couldn't help but smile, "I gave it to you for the first time, how could I not want to live with you?" It's just that if my parents find out, they'll kill me. ”

Tony finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that Jessica had agreed. "When I finish tomorrow's game, the house should be almost done, and I'll pick you up when the time comes."

Seeing Jessica nodding in agreement, Tony didn't hesitate, and then sent Jessica back to the apartment first, and then returned to Kobe's house, he had to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's game.

.......

The next night.

The Lakers came to Utah to challenge the Jazz. In the last game, the Lakers were torn to pieces by the Jazz at their home court in Los Angeles, and this time it will be more difficult for the Lakers to win if they switch to the Jazz's home court.

Sure enough, after the game started, the Lakers quickly fell into the disadvantage, and the Jazz beat the Lakers 10:5 in three minutes, except for Tony who assisted Kobe Bryant to hit a shot after winning the jump ball, the Lakers only Hawley threw in a three-pointer, and they were helpless against the Jazz's blocking tactics.

Coach Harris could only call a timeout.

"Fortify your defense! Derek, try to cut off Stockton's passing route, don't let him and Malone easily complete the connection, Tony, you and Hawley switch defenses, this game I want you to stare at Malone to death, if they play a block, you will go up to help Derek. "Harris actually can't deal with the Jazz's pick-and-roll, after all, Coach Sloan and his coaching level are not at the same level at all.

Harris's arrangement still played a slight role, Tony's strength is actually not inferior to the muscular man Malone at all, and his movement is not slow, and he can go out to help defend.

Although the Lakers' defense came up with Harris's change of formation, their offense is still a mess, Kobe's current style of play is mainly based on one-on-one breakthroughs, but against the Jazz's defensive system, he is very uncomfortable, he can't break through the Jazz's heavy defense at all, not that he doesn't have the ability to shoot, it's just that the Jazz disrupted his rhythm with constant defense changes, and Kobe Bryant couldn't get a one-on-one chance at all.

Kobe's ability to handle the ball is still relatively rough, after all, the first reaction of a player like him as a tackler type of player every time he gets the ball is to come by himself, so the operation of the ball will be stuck at his point, resulting in the inability to pass it out at the first time, but his single ability is greatly limited in the face of the Jazz's airtight defense, so that many balls are forced to the corner by the Jazz and cannot be passed at all, so he can only choose to shoot.

In the case of loss of rhythm, this kind of forced shot will naturally not have a high shooting percentage.

Without Bryant's firepower, Toney's pressure on the interior has increased dramatically, and to his frustration, Karl Malone has muscles and tendons, but his mid-range shooting ability is very good, which is not logical.

Although the Jazz were held off by the Lakers for a few rounds after a timeout, they were also quite good at adjusting themselves as a strong team player, and they quickly found a way to deal with it.

Tony has been pinned down near the free throw line by Malone several times, and he needs to guard against Malone's mid-range shots, otherwise Malone's mid-range shooting stability can completely blow up the Lakers.

Malone's high-level strategy ability is also a textbook, and he himself held Tony in check, which caused the Lakers to open the door to the restricted area. With one Hawley alone, he held up the entire penalty area like Tony.

Malone couldn't shoot, but he could still pass the ball, and Hornacek and Brian Russell were just asking for the Lakers' restricted area.

The Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll are not only Stockton and Malone, they can use the non-stop blocking to create a lot of offensive opportunities, even if Kobe Bryant's single defense ability is not bad, but he can't stand a big man standing in his way.

Tony had to keep an eye on Malone while taking care of the defense of the penalty area.

Caring for each other means losing sight of the beginning.

Soon, the Lakers were broken again.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 15 points at 19:34.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by 27 points, 43:67.

Harris couldn't find a way for the Lakers to crack the Jazz block, he could only stare at Kobe Bryant in a daze and hit the iron without admitting defeat, and Tony was exhausted, his physical strength was also running fast, Fisher was desperately defending but still helpless against Stockton's scalpel-like accurate passing, although Hawley could deliver some three-point shells on the offensive end, he would lose more points on the defensive end, the only consolation was that Eddie Jones was still a little accurate in his shooting among the Lakers tonight, But his measly hits on the Jazz are no different from tickling.

Halfway through the third quarter, Harris sighed, replaced all the Lakers' starters with a gloomy face, and then sent a bunch of substitutes.

69:106, the second meeting between the two teams, the Lakers lost worse than the first.

After the game, the Lakers fell silent, it is normal to lose to a top team like the Jazz, but it is a shame to lose by 37 points.

What's more, they can't change the fact that they can't beat this team at all.
