Chapter Seventy-Eight: Beat Your Ass Off
The Jazz's offense is always John Stockton taking the ball and then looking for opportunities in the block, and his cooperation with Karl Malone is also the main means of scoring for the Jazz. ◎
This offense, Karl Malone pulled to the high post and made a block for John Stockton, and the Magic defenders focused all their attention on John Stockton, and at this time, Karl Malone, who ran to the restricted area with John Stockton left and right, seemed to be unnoticed, and at this time John Stockton made a pass, and Karl Malone received the ball and rushed directly to the basket.
"Nice fit! Jazz add two more points! ”
And looking back, the offense on the Magic side, Anfernee Hardaway's one-dragon layup was actually interfered with by Ostertag, and the ball failed to score.
Then, the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, this time the Magic missed John Stockton, and Horris Grant's supplementary defense missed Jeff Hornacek, when the ball was in John Stockton's hands, any leak was fatal, so the ball quickly appeared in the hands of Jeff Hornacek, Jeff Hornacek made a three-point shot and hit it successfully.
And continuing the Magic's offense, Anfernee Hardaway was still not convinced, and broke through John Stockton's defense with the ball, John Stockton's defense was not very good, but when Anfernee Hardaway rushed into the interior, a group of muscles-flesh-sticks-appeared, which immediately made Anfernee Hardaway's breakthrough difficult, and he had to divide the ball outside the three-point line.
Despite the sound of duang, the ball did not go in.
The Jazz grabbed the rebound and quickly organized a counterattack, their speed was very fast, Jeff Hornacek rushed to the frontcourt, received a long pass from Karl Malone, jumped directly to shoot a three-point shot, and hit it with a bang!
The Jazz made several successive offensive and defensive successes to open up the gap almost instantly, and the Magic trailed by eight points just in the first minute. Ricky Adhubatu hurriedly called a timeout, and the situation on the field had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and he could not hesitate.
"Penny, you don't seem to be in good shape today, give the ball to Jonny, Jonny, play more with the ball, cooperate more, and don't leak people on the defensive end, Jonny, your opponent is just a Brian Russell, don't worry about him, come out and make up for the defense!" Ricky Adubatu knows that the current situation, as Kevin Harlan said before this game, is that all the Magic can expect is Johnny Lee's play.
And on the Jazz side, Jerry Sloan is still a little dissatisfied with Jonny's defense, as a coach with some demons in the league, Jerry Sloan has long seen that the current magic team is a bit at the end of the crossbow, if it weren't for Jonny's rise, they would have been unable to maintain such a record by relying solely on an Anfernee Hardaway with a minor injury.
Therefore, Jerry Sloan's goal in this game is also obvious, that is, to defend Jonny to be dumb, but now Jonny, even Jerry Sloan is a little uncertain, to say that some time ago, Jonny used a scoring method, which is nothing more than a European step, and an unexpected three-point shot, and in the game with the Lakers, Jerry Sloan also reviewed before this game, after all, it was Jonny's battle to become a god.
And the impression of that game on Jerry Sloan was a shocking crossover, but when it came to the game against the Kings, Jonny's crossover was almost gone, replaced by a variety of three-pointers, and pull-up jump shots.
And in this game, Jerry Sloan observed the first five minutes of the first quarter, and finally saw something, so he said to Brian Russell: "Brian, guard against Jonny Lee, stick to him tightly!" Don't give him room to shoot! You know? Jerry Sloan's stern face, coupled with his expressionless tone, startled Brian Russell, and then nodded in agreement.
And the two sides returned to the court, and the adjustment on the Magic side was that Jonny got more balls, while on the Jazz side, there was no problem with their opening offense, so their only adjustment was Brian Russell, who was asked to stick to Jonny.
And when Jonny got the ball, Brian Russell clung to Jonny.
"Hey, bro, isn't your sexuality wrong?" Jonny felt that he was too uncomfortable to be posted, so he made a joke, and hoped that Brian Russell would not be so tightly pasted.
And Brian Russell was like a child at this time, his whole face was stuck in Jonny's arms, and then when he heard Jonny's words, he raised his head and sneered: "Boy, wait a minute, be careful that I beat your ass!" ”
Jonny was taken aback for a moment, could this guy really be crooked? But Jonny didn't show weakness, even if he was really crooked, what could he do?
"Beat my ass? No, no, no! Your ass is bigger and you should be careful with your ass! "What Jonny said is not wrong at all, since entering the NBA, Jonny found that the black players in the NBA have bigger butts than the other, of course, Jonny has not met Charles Barkley at this time, if he does, Charles Barkley's ass may refresh Jonny's three views.
Jonny saw that Brian Russell was clinging to him, and he also knew that it was impossible to shoot directly now, so Jonny just turned around.
Brian Russell sticks to himself, which is still very beneficial to Jonny's turn, Brian Russell is like a cylinder, so that Jonny has a turn to rely on, Jonny's turn seems to be in one go, and the speed is much faster, and after the turn, there are no other defenders in front of Jonny, he just rushed into the three-point line, although Brian Russell tried his best to block Jonny's way, but Jonny was already rushing forward at this time.
However, the Jazz's inside line, Jonny still didn't dare to go in, there were two muscles-flesh-rod-, which made Jonny feel shudder when he looked at it, especially Anfernee Hardaway just now, after rushing in, he was elbowed down by Karl Malone with an elbow, which made Jonny even more afraid to enter.
He rushed together, and he didn't rush a few steps, and immediately made an emergency stop, seeing that Brian Russell couldn't stop the car, Jonny just jumped up.
"Jonny Lee's pull-up jumper, shot! Entered! ”
"In! Jonny was in very good shape in this game, he has hit three balls in a row, each of which is a pull-up jumper. ”
Each one is a pull-up jumper, in fact, you are a little helpless when you are poor, and it is not that he has to shoot a stop-and-go jumper, it is really Brian Russell's defense that is too strict with him, and Jonny has not met an outside defender like Brian Russell, the Raptors' Doug Christie already has a little bit of an outside gate, and the Lakers' Eddie Jones, his outside defense is also very good, but like Brian Russell, he has been sticking to himself with his body, And then the defensive gate that doesn't give himself a trace of shooting space, Jonny is the first time I've seen it.
However, this difficult hit still made Brian Russell's face a little unpleasant, although he tried his best to defend this ball, but he still didn't defend it after all.
