From the beginning of the third quarter, the Celtics and Jazz began to replace the main players of the two teams, while the Celtics left only one Johnny to play with the bench, and the Jazz left John Stockton and Karl Malone on the court. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

Karl Malone and John Stockton are both iron men, although they are already in their 30s, but there are still a lot of times they have played the whole game in the regular season like this, perhaps this is why the Jazz have been able to emerge as a sudden force when the 84 golden generation is gradually coming to an end, and they have dominated the West for several years in a row.

The Jazz style is fierce, and Jerry Sloan's blocking and dismantling tactics are also a very bullish tactic, this tactic later led the NBA trend in the next 20 years, and the coaches of the Spurs shined in later generations, in fact, relying on a set of tactics painstakingly studied by Yankuai Vic from European tactics and blocking tactics, including the Grizzlies led by Jogel later also have the shadow of blocking and dismantling tactics.

It can be said that the most powerful tactic in the NBA is the blocking and dismantling tactics, and throughout the NBA teams after 10 years in the 21st century, their tactics are all with blocking and dismantling tactics.

Pick-and-roll tactics are difficult to defend, especially Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics, Jerry Sloan has been coaching the Jazz for 10 years, under his research, the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics can have a lot of changes, such as just a goal from the Jazz, John Stockton rushed into the interior, and Karl Malone made a block for him, and then the center on the inside outflanked him and made a double block, and Johnny was thrown away by John Stockton.

But this is not enough, after rushing into the inside line, Karl Malone made a block, and it actually became an unguarded Carl Malone, and finally the blocker Karl Malone shot a mid-range shot and hit. And the Celtics were played by the Jazz's changeable pick-and-roll tactics. In fact, even the current Bulls have to kneel when they meet the Jazz, because Michael Jordan is far less in shape than the current John Stockton and Karl Malone.

However, even if Karl Malone and John Stockton maintain a stable output, the Celtics are not afraid at all, because Jonny, who has turned on the Desert Butcher's R skill, is already on a rampage. After Karl Malone hit the ball, Jonny picked up the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, facing Brian Russell's defense, Jonny rushed into the three-point line. A step-back jumper, also hit.

However, the Celtics can also rely on Jonny's individual performance, and among the other players who came off the bench, Anthony Parker and Di Brown were also unthreatening, scoring one or two three-pointers at most. It can be regarded as a bit of help to the team, but on the Jazz side, players like substitute scoring guards Shanton Anderson and Howard Ellis can stand up on the bench and output like crazy.

After Jonny hit a step-back jumper, it was Howard Ellis who made a three-pointer through a series of pick-and-rolls.

After this three-pointer, the Jazz took a three-point lead, but Jonny began to go-for-tat, and he then returned a three-pointer, which was also a good shot.

Even next. Karl Malone missed a mid-range shot, and when Jonny was about to overtake the score, he also returned the blow.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics trailed by three points at 72-75.

And in the final quarter, the decisive battle came, and in the fourth quarter, the main forces of both sides came out again, with the Celtics taking the lead and Jonny rushing inside. After attracting the bag, he passed, but Chauncey Billups missed an open three-pointer rather facelessly.

Then the Jazz hit a solid shot, and then the Celtics came back and Jonny's shot missed. In this way, in the first two or three rounds, the Celtics instantly fell behind by almost 10 points.

At this time, Jonny was ready to continue to start solo mode, but Jonny's hand fell into a cold state at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Jazz took advantage of this time period to open up the difference in one fell swoop. With six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Celtics were trailing by 20 points, and the Celtics felt that there was no hope of victory, and the Celtics had to challenge the Clippers a day later, and it was obviously irrational to waste too much energy here.

So Rick Pitino quickly replaced all the main players and came off the bench, and the Jazz were going to challenge the SuperSonics away from home two days later, and their pressure was also not small, and after the Celtics replaced the bench, the Jazz also quickly replaced their main players and played all off the bench.

And the head coaches on both sides also communicated with each other on the sidelines, and the game ended, the Celtics lost their 13th game of the season, but this defeat is still in the Celtics' plan, in the Celtics' plan, teams like the Jazz and the Bulls can fight if they can, but it is normal to fight, and the Celtics have won two games against the Bulls this season, which is already a surprise.

At the end of the game, the summary of this game also began in the Celtics team, losing to a strong team is not terrible, because after losing to a strong team, the team can find out the current problems of the team, such as this game, the problem is obvious, when Derrick Coleman encounters a strong power forward and is dumb, the Celtics still can't find a player who can stand up, except for Jonny.

And this also presents a problem for Michael Leoncar, who was originally prepared to give up on making a trade before the trade deadline, and now it seems that another trade to get a slightly more consistent scorer seems to be very important.

However, February 14 is the trade deadline, and it is already the night of February 12, with only a little more than a day to go, it is too difficult to make a trade, especially now that the Celtics don't even have a trade target, but for Michael Leoncar, no matter how difficult it is, he has to try.

Today's Celtics are gaining momentum, Michael Leoncarr knows that the better the Celtics' results this year, the more good players the Celtics will be able to attract next season, Michael Leoncarr is a very far-sighted general manager, and the Celtics team, except for a few rookies, there is no player with a long contract, so the Celtics can have a lot of salary space to operate next season.

You can even take advantage of the free market to sign a few big names. Next year is the year of the re-signing of the collective bargaining agreement, so there are a lot of big-name players whose contracts expire, such as Alonzo Mourning of the Heat, and Gary Payton, whose contracts will expire next year, and there is no hope of staying in the original team championship, and they want to join the team that has always been able to impact the championship, so the Celtics who have played an excellent record this year are naturally a very good choice.

So this season, with Jonny leading the team alone, and with the current excellent record of the Celtics, they have more ideas. (To be continued.) )
