Chapter 146: Attack of Utah (5)
Luke stopped the ball in front of his chest and took a deep breath.
The deep strength coming from behind made Luke understand that this opponent was very difficult to deal with.
Take another look at the other people's moves, they are all far away, the singles position is good, good, everything is in Luke's control.
Luke wiggled his ass to see that there was still room and grinned, "I'm going to start." β
"Little pot friend, let me see how far you can play." Karl Malone said. But after saying that, he felt a strong force in front of him, making him take a step back.
"Holy!" Although frustrated, the experienced Karl Malone immediately stopped and resisted Luke's back.
"Boy, you're not Charles's fat pig, there's no way you're going to squeeze me!" Karl Malone laughed.
"It seems to be true." Luke seemed to say to himself, but just enough for Karl Malone to hear. "Otherwise."
Luke paused and began to lean on Carl Marlone and turn.
Seeing his opponent's movements, Karl Malone also understood a lot, so he took a step back, ready to jump directly if Luke used a small hook to block directly. Are the facts as Carl Malone thinks?
Luke is ready to get up, and using bebyhook in this position is very useful. But after Luke discovers that Karl Malone is a certain distance away from him, Luke has a new idea.
Luke grabbed the ball with one hand with his big hand and then made a coherent movement to lift the ball above his head and prepare for the jump bebyhook. Karl Malone jumped up and blocked the ball and was about to shoot the ball out of the court, but in the end he found Luke smiling at him.
Luke saw Carl Marrone flying up and really laughed and laughed happily. It's like a first-time League of Legends who killed the strongest king once.
But Luke knows it's not the time to celebrate, and it's a good idea to celebrate after scoring this goal.
After Carl Malone flew up, Luke immediately took the ball back into his arms, Carl Malone was too experienced, and it was easy to be poked by him if he still held it high. Luke waited until Karl Malone had fallen, but before he could reach the ground, Luke chose to take off and used his finishing move Bebyhook to gently throw the ball into the air.
The ball made a perfect arc in the air and then plunged headlong into the net.
The audience cheered. βyes!β Carl Malone has managed to become an excellent background again. This time, the protagonist is still Luke.
Luke returned to half-time with a fist swing, and Karl Malone was pondering there.
"Alright, Carl, don't be discouraged, how long have you been playing basketball, don't be distracted by this."
"No, if it was just cheating, then I would still be a little angry, but you found that the action just now was not, very much like a person."
"You mean Hakim?" Stockton said.
"It's him, the movements are so similar, not many people can do this kind of fantasy dance steps. Although it is still relatively rudimentary, the prototype has appeared, and the future is limitless. Karl Malone said.
"Are you afraid of it?" Stockton said.
"No!" "It's fun to destroy people like that, and it's rewarding to win games like this." Karl Malone said with a smile.
"This is the Carl Marlon I know." Stockton smiled and patted Malone.
"Hey, John," Karl Malone cried, "wait a minute, it's going to be boring." β
"Are you sure that if that is the case, there is a real chance that the child will sink like this." Stockton looked at Luke, who was returning to defense, and said to Malone.
"If he can't even withstand this, then he is destined to be a pseudo-core at best, a star player, if he bears it, maybe he will really grow to the height of Johnson and Bird, and maybe he will be like that bastard." Karl Malone also looked at Luke.
"But to be honest, I don't think you agree." Stockton shook his head and said, "I always thought that kid would be able to surpass that guy. β
"Oh? Then you can't give up, so let's start now, John. Karl Malone said.
"Well, I'm ready." Stockton said, "Go serve." β
The Utah Jazz offense, the 76ers defend.
Stockton made a very eerie gesture towards the players, which surprised everyone.
"Going to fight this now? It's a little too early, and now you don't need to chase points, and it's not a crucial game. "Even Jerry, the head coach of the Utah Jazz? Sloane wondered how early they had started this tactic. But as a head coach of a team, especially a coach who trusts the players very much, what is most needed at this time is to believe in the players, not to question them, after all, it is not the coach who plays on the field, it is the player, and the player needs some independent surnames to play well, especially a high-IQ player like Stockton, Sloan believes in him even more. Didn't say anything, but let the other players cooperate.
Now that the team boss has spoken, the head coach has not objected, and the other Utah Jazz players have not said anything. Just play with Malone and Stockton.
In fact, there has always been such a saying in the NBA league, the West is strong and the East is weak. The overall strength of the teams in the West is always stronger than the teams in the East, as can be seen from the championship books. Of course, the only era of discord was the "Bull Dynasty" led by Joe's gang leader. That era was the only decade in which the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and the following decade was only three championships in the east.
Although the bulls were relatively strong in that era, it did not mean that the west was weak. The Utah Jazz are definitely one of those representatives.
Tenacious defense, perseverance, and excellent home-court advantage (many players are really unhappy with the Utah Plateau) have been the cornerstones of their success, but they have met the "like the sky" Bulls and then the Spurs and Lakers, and have never had a chance to come out again. Until Stockton retired, Malone transferred.
But then they're still a strong team. Especially in the playoffs, once the defensive intensity and offensive intensity are brought up, it can be simply suffocating.
Now the 76ers have met. This time, Malone still came out to help Stockton block as always, Tony? Kukoc also came up to fill in, and Raga went to defend the others. That's exactly what it looks like. Luke also went up to make up for Malone, but when he got to the position, Malone, suddenly stopped you, and when he started again, he chose to break to the right, and Luke couldn't keep up. Why because Polynes came. Polinis blocked Luke's path with his thick body. But Big Ben was not idle, and went directly to make up for the defense, in the face of Karl Malone, although Big Ben has a disadvantage in height and experience, but the bounce and strength are taking the initiative (I haven't heard that Karl Malone can resist O'Neill). The moment Karl Malone was ready to make a layup, Big Ben jumped up.
But in fact, he didn't fan the ball out as Big Ben imagined, and Karl Malone didn't force it to lean on Big Ben to score a layup as Luke imagined, at this time, Malone who jumped up actually passed the ball out, and it was Stockton who received the ball, and the latter didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and hit it directly.
Luke was stunned, and so were the 76ers players.
This is definitely not the way to do it in the regular season.
