The scrutiny from Martial Arts didn't change Stockton's mindset in any way. Stockton knew that Martial Arts should have discovered his little moves, but what if he did?

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and their Jazz offense was completed and scored in this round. Can Wu Dao still shout for the referee to watch the replay and make a new decision?

It's impossible, his small actions of that level, even if the referee watches the replay, there is a high probability that he will not change the penalty.

Because of him

"Really" yes

"Unintentionally", if he was willing, Chris Kyle would not have been able to stand there and yell at the referee at this moment.

Stockton met Takemi's gaze, grinned, and quickly retreated with his teammates. After returning to the Jazz half, other Jazz players also praised Stockton's excellent ball skills in this break and pass.

On the other side, Chris Kyle could only honestly run back to the Timberwolves half court after putting pressure on the referee to no avail.

Wu Dao went to the bottom line and sent the ball to Chris Kyle, who was a little sullen, noticing that Chris Kyle's mood seemed to be a little wrong, Wu Dao couldn't help but remind: "I know that the ball was not your mistake. ”

"I was aware of Stoker's actions just now."

"Chris, there's no use sulking, I think you should know that." Chris Kyle entered the league in '95 with the 27th pick in 2 rounds, and was sent to the Timberwolves after playing a season with the Suns.

Chris Kyle's talent is actually not too outstanding, and the offensive means are not remarkable at all in the No. 2 position with many talents, but it is also based on the team needs of the Timberwolves.

If Chris were to play as a standard No. 2 or No. 1, he would have no advantage over the other excellent No. 1.2s.

But as a set-up scorer, as a functional No. 1 who only needs to hold the ball and push into the front court, Chris is still up to the task.

Even in the face of an old fritter like Stockton, Chris can do these things well.

Of course, the premise is that he has the right mentality and is not affected by the opponent's defensive movements. Chris Kyle is a good character, but as a player, he is a little less competitive.

Sometimes, when faced with a tough defense, he will retreat, and he will become extremely cautious in his playing state, for fear of making mistakes on the court.

This is actually a common problem for many substitute players, who shorten their playing time for fear of mistakes, and tend to cringe when they encounter some tough defenses.

Chris Kyle is completely different from Garnett in this regard, and although Garnett will fight and retreat against certain strong players, Garnett's style of play on the offensive end is still very tough.

Of course, not in his

"Iron Jumper" above, but his attitude to the game. No matter what opponent Garnett faces, he always looks full of enthusiasm.

This kind of competitive state has great benefits, both for self-motivation and for motivating teammates. Chris doesn't have a big heart like Garnett, and proper enlightenment and confidence are very necessary, and a player who is afraid of making mistakes and is afraid of making mistakes will not play well.

Chris Kyle, who was advancing with the ball, was slightly surprised when he heard Takemi's words. In the past, Martial Arts was not the kind of person who would do these things, and when he was on the court, he tended to focus on playing his own ball.

Although it was unexpected, Chris was still very happy to hear Wu Dao's encouragement and comfort. NbA is a vanity fair, and sometimes pleasing the team boss is the same as pleasing the coach.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back!" Chris Kyle swore an oath, showing a look of confidence.

Seeing his statement, Wu Dao only nodded slightly, noncommittal, and quickly moved towards the right after entering the front court.

On the pitch, it's about being able to speak. Chris Kyle's playing habits, with just two words of encouragement, are impossible to reverse.

Under Stockton's defense, Chris is going to suffer

"Suffering" is much more than that. Chris, who entered the front court, learned to be smart for a while, and without waiting to get close to Stockton's defense, he quickly gave the ball to the side of the martial arts.

Basketball in, martial arts without the slightest pause, after a simple tentative step, the left hand dropped the ball to try to break through, Kife's footsteps are okay, although the explosive power is not as good as martial arts, and he was pulled away by martial arts a little, but he still tried hard to chase up.

And relying on his body, as much as possible to delay the martial arts' breakthrough action, Stockton at the top of the arc also noticed the situation on the martial arts side, seeing that the martial arts accelerated the breakthrough, without the slightest hesitation, quickly towards the martial arts bag, trying to pull the ball from the side of the martial arts to steal.

And Wu Dao also noticed Stockton's movements, and after crossing the three-point line and taking two quick steps, he immediately turned his back to the right, clinging to Kife's body, and completed the change of direction in an instant.

When Kife and Stockton saw that there was a big gap in Takemi, they immediately pounced, and they didn't dare to let Takedo shoot or rush to the basket without any interference in this position.

It's just that after Wu Dao turned around, the basketball in his hand quickly hooked towards the top of the arc, and he was already tall and big with the ball in this way, and Stockton and Kife couldn't react at all.

The basketball flew straight across the small half of the court and into Chris Kyle's hands. At the top of the arc, Chris Kyle, who was close to the three-point line to get the ball, got an open three-point opportunity.

After a slight adjustment, Chris Kyle shot directly, and the basketball passed over the heads of many players, and then smashed on the inside edge of the basket and popped out in Chris's slightly expectant gaze.

"Bell-" The crisp sound of striking iron sounded in the stadium, and the spectators in the stands couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

However, the Jazz fans erupted in cheers. Under the basket, the interior players of the two teams have already squeezed together.

Malone and Garnett each made their own efforts, and the end result was that Malone occupied a better position and had stronger strength than Garnett, who was pushed outside the paint area and couldn't grab the right position at all.

As the rebound was bagged by the Jazz, they also quickly pushed the counterattack. Malone, who is in his thirties, is full of energy, and after winning the rebound, he has already rushed to the forefront on the offensive end, but the young Timberwolves are also very agile and defensive.

The Jazz's fast break turned to a position, and Stockton gave the ball to Malone, who asked for the ball at the waist, and after the latter took the ball, he turned around with the ball, raised his hand, and actually shot directly at the half-step position inside the free throw line, and with the sound of the basketball entering the net, the Jazz's scoreboard also added two points.

Malone is worthy of being the man who can win the mVp from Michael Jordan in history, and in the position of power forward, Malone has a wealth of offensive means, which is fundamentally difficult to defend.

Although Garnett was already in position, he couldn't react in the face of Malone's sudden jump shot, and could only watch the basketball fly over his head and fall into the net.

"Wu Dao, this kind of ball needs to give Kevin some help."

"That Kife shoots a three-pointer and lets him shoot, and you're going to create some defensive threat to Karl."

"Don't let him fight so easily!" On the side of the court, Coach Philip couldn't help but shout at the court when he saw that Jazz had scored so easily in this round.

In NbA, the top players are often not able to defend one-on-one, Jordan is the kind of player, O'Neal is the kind of player, Karl Malone is also the kind of player.

Stars at this level rarely suffer in a one-on-one environment, and what restricts them is often the strength of the team or their own feel.

It's true that Garnett is a good defender, but if you want to contain Karl Malone's play, even Garnett needs to rely on the strength of the team.

When the Lakers faced the Spurs, O'Neal was limited by the Spurs not because O'Neal was not dominant enough, not because Duncan was greater than O'Neal.

It's because the interior combination of David Robinson and Duncan is greater than that of Lakers O'Neal. At the time, the Lakers tended to start O'Neal, Kobe, Fisher, Rick Fox, Samaki Walker/Robert Horry.

O'Neill is often faced with a one-on-two. The energy that Malone can exert on the interior is also terrifying, and the Timberwolves' defense against Garnett's single defense is not a good choice.

Wu Dao's personal offensive ability and single defense ability are indeed very strong, but in the face of this situation, he is a little immature, a rookie who is alive.

And the shortcomings of martial arts in this area can be regarded as one of the few weaknesses of the Timberwolves. Of course, not all teams will be able to take advantage of this weakness, after all, not everyone will be able to do whatever they want in front of Garnett.

The Timberwolves' possession of the ball, after the inaccurate three-point shooting in the open position just now, Chris Kyle's mentality has quietly changed somewhat.

Wu Dao's original intention of passing the ball to him was to let him build confidence in himself by scoring goals, but unexpectedly, Chris was unable to grasp the opportunity.

Chris, who threw the shot, is now not thinking about how to organize the attack, but how not to make mistakes.

As Chris Kyle dribbled across the halfway line, Stockton lifted up early and rushed towards Chris Kyle.

He keenly grasped Chris's somewhat weak mentality, and chose to take the initiative to give pressure.

Stockton was close to the ball, and he had a lot of movement and a lot of pressure. Chris was forced to stop the ball under his defense, and the position where he stopped the ball was in front of the halfway line.

"Opportunity !!" The Jazz's guard line all realized that there was an opportunity at this moment, and a group of people rushed towards Chris.

Kife noticed that Takedo had the intention of returning to the field, and stuck to Takemi's side tightly, not giving Takedao any gap.

The area is too small, the time is pressing, and even if Martial Arts wants to get rid of the base fee, it is simply impossible.

"Smack!" Chris was under defensive pressure and was eager to get the ball out, but Hornacek predicted it, grabbed in front of Marbury, took the ball away, and then quickly pushed it back.

The basketball went to Stoker, who cut into the basket, and the latter scored a straight pick and basket under the pursuit of Takemi.

The extremely fast shot caught Wu Dao a little off guard, and by the time he jumped up and wanted to block, the basketball was already in a downward trend.

"I know you're jumping high." Stockton even said this to Takedo with a smile after the goal, which sounded like a compliment, but in Takedo's ears, this was obviously a provocation and demonstration.

Stockton, from the very beginning, did not regard Chris Kyle as an opponent, and the object he wanted to focus on was martial arts from the beginning.

The Timberwolves offense has lost one after another, and the players' hearts are pressed on a thousand stones.

"Stephen, possession of the ball!" On the side of the court, Coach Philip, who had a premonition that something was wrong, immediately shouted into the field.

In the middle of the court, Chris, who was standing in front of the bottom line, became a little ugly after hearing this.

"Run open and pay attention to the ball."

'Their attention is mostly on me, and the defense of the bottom corners on both sides is a bit weak.

"This is your chance." Takeshi sent the ball out and reminded Chris, who looked lost.

Philip didn't take Chris off the court, probably because he still has a three-point shot that can disrupt the Jazz's defensive deployment with a cold arrow.

After all, on the Timberwolves' bench, except for Chris's three-point shooting, the three-point shooting percentage of other players is not very good.

Chris silently received the ball, took a few steps and gave the ball to Marbury, who came back to catch the ball.

The Timberwolves' offensive formation has also changed slightly. Marbury took the ball, in his opinion, naturally he had to try to hit Stockton first, when he played with the opponent, the opponent's ability was not bad, but Marbury felt that the opponent could not defend himself.

However, Marbury didn't expect that when the Timberwolves and Jazz played against each other, Stockton played a comparison

"Convergent". Marbury approached the three-point line with the ball, and Stoker's defense was also quickly raised, Marbury simply blew the ball and shook it, and then suddenly exerted his strength, and his short body was directly accelerated to the right.

At the moment when Marbury accelerated, Stockton also quickly slid to keep up, and while using his body to go to Camabry's body, his left hand was also quickly raised, pointing at the basketball, but his right hand was secretly poking and hitting Marbury's back.

The speed of Marbury's breakthrough decreased sharply, and Stockton also quickly stopped and spread his arms to defend, that is, at the moment when Marbury slowed down, Stockton was already in front of Marbury and blocked Marbury's way.

"....." Marbury held the ball in his right hand, stopped his steps, and looked at Stockton in front of him, Marbury's expression was also sharp.

He actually uses these defensive tricks himself, but Stockton uses them more smoothly and secretly.

And.... Powerful! ......................
