The Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll is very distinctive, their two core players on the court, Stockton and Malone's position is very different from the position of the core of the Timberwolves, Nash and Garnett, who are also mainly blocking, Malone and Stockton are one left and one right, they are horizontal positions, while the Timberwolves' Nash and Garnett are one high and one low, this is a vertical position, in the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll system, Malone and scoring guard Hornacek are on the same side, And the defense Jazz blocking is difficult in the scoring guard Hornacek can also form a blocking and dismantling cover with Malone at any time, now although Hornacek is the No. 2 position, but he is also a very good pitcher and passer, many times the Jazz's cooperation is, Stockton handed the ball to Malone, and then Malone first gave Hornacek a cover, Hornacek received Malone's cover pass and then went to the bottom line, and Malone went high on the opposite left, and after Hornacek went around in a circle, he would hand the ball to Stockton, who was already waiting on the left side, And Stockton will block and dismantle Malone who moves without the ball on his side again, after such a series of cooperation, if Malone has a chance, then eventually Stockton will hand the ball to Malone, and then Malone will shoot the basket, if Malone has no chance, then Stockton will seek contact with Hornacek who came out, and Malone will continue to move without the ball, looking for opportunities again and opening up space for Hornacek.

If you want to limit the Jazz double star, you must limit Ma Long's reception, this is Zhuang Fei's less mature experience summed up in this game, if Ma Long finds an opportunity to hold the ball in a comfortable position, it is difficult to defend him in a one-on-one situation, Ma Long is not only a shooting master, he also has a strong ability to dribble and break through, if you want to cut off Ma Long's receiving route, you must cut off the person who passes the ball to him, it is not only Stockton who passes the ball to Ma Long, many people think that Jazz's blocking is just a two-man game between Stockton and Ma Long, They ignored Hornacek, and if they wanted to cut off Malone's passing route, they had to block not only Stockton's pass to Malone, but also Honacek's pass, so that the three elders could not form a cooperation, which is why few teams in the league can block the Jazz offense, and their blocking and dismantling is not a two-person turn, but a three-person turn.

For other teams, it is difficult to pinch the Jazz's three points, but for the Timberwolves, although difficult, it is not impossible to achieve.

"Stephen, I was very dissatisfied with Hornacek's defense in the first half, you gave him too much space to receive and pass, I need you to improve your concentration and aggression in the second half, your speed and height are better than him, I need you to stalk Hornacek like Webber, I don't want to see Hornacek easily receive and handle the ball in the second half" In the locker room of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei laid out tactics to Jackson with a calm face, and now the Timberwolves' locker room is silent, In the first half of the game, they didn't play badly, but it was strange that none of the Timberwolves players were happy, because they were already 10 points ahead after they returned to the court, their advantage quickly came to naught, which made them inexplicably have a sense of frustration, and the Jazz two elders are like monkeys on their backs, no matter how they can't get rid of them, and this monkey has been eyeing them all the time, ready to fight back at any time.

Jackson nodded fiercely after listening to Zhuang Fei's instructions, in the last round the outside world praised his defense, he stuck to the core of the Kings' organization Weber, now some people have compared him to a new glove, but in this game, in the first half of his offense played very well, so he ignored the defense, which also gave Hornacek too many opportunities to handle the ball.

Su Skirt is very excited, he is the first time to enter the NBA team's locker room to listen to the NBA team's layout tactics in the locker room, for any team, the locker room is exempt for outsiders, but today Zhuang Fei still made an exception to let the CCTV film crew into the Timberwolves' locker room to track and shoot, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, this is harmless, and it can't leak any secrets, and the Timberwolves' locker room is healthy enough, there is no dark side. Like Su Skirt, CCTV's film crew was also very excited, in this solemn atmosphere in the Timberwolves locker room, they also tried not to make a sound, but seeing the Timberwolves players' attitude towards Zhuang Fei like a god, this made them also surprised, originally they all thought that Zhuang Fei was estimated to be a young coach who had just gained a foothold, but when they followed Zhuang Fei for a while, they had already left these most primitive ideas behind.

"And Kevin, you don't have to defend Greg Ostertag in the second half" In order to save Garnett's physical strength, Zhuang Fei asked him to defend Greg Ostertag, although Greg Ostertag has a very tall body, but he has no ability to attack independently, so Zhuang Fei is also a symbol of Xìng for him to defend Greg Ostertag. But in the first half of this game, Garnett did not pay much on the offensive and defensive ends, and he still had enough physical strength.

"Kevin, do you remember the forward tactics when we dealt with the Trail Blazers" Zhuang Fei asked with a smile, seeing Garnett nodding slightly, Zhuang Fei continued: "In the second half, I just need you to go around Malone and cut off the passing route between him and Stockton"

Many teams in the league don't want Malone to get the ball against the Jazz, but their general strategy is to double the bag, but Zhuang Fei doesn't like the bag and clamp tactic, and using the bag on a player means that he can no longer control that player, in Zhuang Fei's subconscious, Malone can still control it, just like when he faced Sabonis of the Trail Blazers, Garnett went around Sabonis in front of him, cut off the passing route between Sabonis and Stoudemire, and then let Pierce go around Brian Grant in front, Cutting off the link between Sabonis and the wingers is the same as a double pack, but it's much more effective and costly than a double pack.

Now Zhuang Fei hopes to use Jackson to cut off the connection between Jeff Hornacek and Stockton and Malone, and then use Garnett to cut off the connection between Malone and Stockton, which is to completely isolate the three elders, so that Stockton has no way to play the ball, so that he has to choose more of his own participation in direct attack.

As long as Stockton is more involved in direct attack, then he will fall into the trap set by Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei will do everything to consume the already weak Stockton, so that he will completely collapse, as long as Stockton collapses, then the Jazz will naturally collapse.

This is Zhuang Fei's tactical idea in the second half of this game, although this tactic is ostensibly to limit Malone and Hornacek, but in fact it is to put pressure on Stockton, let Stockton attack, and let Stockton consume. It's a good plan, but it's hard to predict how it will come to fruition, because Malone isn't Sabonis

At the beginning of the second half of the Jazz and the Timberwolves, both sides used the main lineup, Sloan was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, Jazz not only blocked the Timberwolves' "triangle offense" but also ensured the balance and hold on the scores of the two teams, as long as the stalemate is formed, the Jazz can use experience and their own stability to win, as for the physical problems mentioned by the outside world, he is not too worried, because there is no test in this game Stockton Ice, and Malone is also very excited about this game, and the Jazz team also knows, This first game is very important, as long as this game is won, the Jazz will theoretically have a chance to rest, if they lose, then the Jazz will always be in a tense state, but there will really be physical problems and collapse, just like in the second half of the regular season, the crisis at that time is to lose the strong dialogue one after another, and there is a crisis under the double pressure of jīng's god and body. Now the score of the two teams is 57-54, Jazz is only 3 points behind, and now Jazz has been slowly chasing points, he believes that it will not be long before Jazz can overtake, this game Timberwolves to Malone actually just let Lewis close to defend this move, which surprised him, this is too underestimate Malone, even if it is a one-on-one close should be Garnett to defend, not Lewis, but he also does not think that Zhuang Fei will continue to let Lewis defend in the second half, he has made two preparations, If Garnett comes out to defend Malone, then Malone will try to use his strength to suppress Garnett under the basket, Garnett is a member of the defensive team this season after all, and his personal defensive ability and footwork are good, but he lacks some strength.

However, when the third quarter of the game started less than two minutes, Sloan sat on the court and was surprised, because the Timberwolves' defensive style made him a little at a loss, it was not that he was afraid, but it was very unexpected, he never thought that Zhuang Fei would use the Jazz to deal with him, and he had also heard of the tactics of going around the front, which was another big initiative of Coach Z, and many media took turns touting it, but he was very dismissive at the time, because this tactic was too limited, and he didn't believe that he could deal with O'Neal and Duncan. Since O'Neal and Duncan can't use the Winding Forward, then it's of no use to the Jazz, Sabonis? The Jazz weren't afraid of him at all, and in Sloan's mind, the go-around tactic was just the last struggle of the underdog on the inside.

"Is this going around the front? Isn't the strategy of going around the front only against the slow-moving big center? No, this is definitely not an ordinary forward circle, Garnett's footsteps are moving too fast, this is a combination of the close-fitting and the front of the man-marker, hum, Garnett's defense can only cut off the connection between Malone and Stockton, but the Jazz and Hornacek, you think too simply"

Just when Sloan thought of this, Stockton's pass to Hornacek was stealed by Jackson, looking at Jackson who was speeding away, this time Sloan was not surprised, but dumbfounded.
