095: The bloody battle in Salt Lake City makes Malone unable to breathe

Drexler is still half a year away from turning 30, but his hairline is almost touching the back of his head.

Don't get me wrong, Drexler's hair was not lost by himself, he was lost by someone else.

From the beginning of the '90 finals, the glider's hairline was visibly receding wildly to the naked eye.

In '90, the Glider led the team to the finals after 13 years.

thought this would be a brilliant start for him, but the team was swept 4-1 by the Pistons in the finals.

The Smiling Assassins averaged 27.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in the series, which is also more dazzling than Drexler.

The moment he lost the Finals, all the praise for Drexler vanished.

Everybody says that Isaiah. Thomas is the greatest defender besides Magic.

Drexler? In people's minds, he is not even as good as Jordan, who has been overturned by the Pistons for three consecutive years.

Although Jordan can't beat the Pistons, at least his personal data is quite explosive.

The glider was so devastated that its hairline receded a few centimeters.

Last year, the Pistons fell, and Chicago finally made it out of the East after three consecutive years of failure.

Ah Hua thought, the invincible piston is not there, this time it's time for me to stand out.

The result was another 4-1, and Jordan averaged 10 more points per game than Drexler.

At this point, the glider was bald.

The top of his head became smooth and shiny, and the sparse hair on his temples was his last stubbornness.

Drexler was not convinced, he considered himself no worse than Jordan, and he thought so from the time the two first entered the league.

Therefore, this season, Drexler wants to compete with Jordan everywhere, and wants to do better than Jordan everywhere.

Including the All-Star Game, he didn't want to be compared to Jordan either.

Drexler, who was full of energy, was ready to make a big splash at the All-Star Game, and the result was ......

He didn't lose to Jordan this time, but to a rookie!

From the smiling assassin, to Jordan, to a rookie.

Drexler feels like he's taking one step at a time, being small and weak!

After Xie Yin returned to the locker room with the All-Star MVP trophy, reporters flocked to Xie Yin and the magician for a beat.

Glider, as the strongest guard in the West now, as the second most voted player in this year's Western All-Star voting after Malone, now has no sense of existence.

After Jordan, he once again watched others climb on top of his head and weed frantically.

A new target was added to Drexler's blacklist, underneath Jordan's name.

Back then, the smiling assassin didn't like Jordan, and now Drexler doesn't like Xie Yin.

History is sometimes a cycle.

Ma Long, who didn't have any presence today, also stared at Xie Yin with a gloomy face in the corner of the locker room.

Xie Yin publicly supported the magician and Ma Long before, and Ma Long was very unhappy.

Today, Xie Yin and the magician also beat the all-stars into some kind of bullshit inheritance ceremony, and Ma Long was even more upset.

He couldn't wait to get back to Salt Lake City and wait for the Lakers to arrive.

He will definitely give Xie Yin an unforgettable road trip.

On the day of the All-Star Game, Xie Yin had dinner with the Magic's family.

Originally, Ewing asked Xie Yin to go to Danzi's party to play cards, but Xie Yin was really not interested in gambling money, so he politely refused Captain Orangutan.

Danzi was disappointed when she learned that Ewing didn't make an appointment with Xie Yin.

Knowing Xie Yin until now, Jordan has been losing money, and he has never won.

The first bet was when Xie Yin was in college, and Jordan lost.

The second time was when Xie Yin and Jordan were training together, and Jordan lost again.

finally met for the third time without a bet, and as a result, Jordan lost another 2,000 ......yuan because he hammered the door of the locker

See once lose once, see once lose once.

Jordan couldn't have imagined that he would spend so much money on a man!

I wanted to form a pig killing game this time to win Xie Yin and get back what I lost.

As a result, the pigs did not come.

Thereupon......

That night, Barkley lost 5,000 and was killed as a pig!

The All-Star Game of '92 ended with the sparkle of Sheen's star, the glider's hairline and Barkley's pig cry.

When Hsieh returned from the All-Star Game, he found that the entire city of Los Angeles was covered in his own commercials.

Whether it is a billboard on the viaduct or a huge poster outside the mall, Xie Yin can be seen.

Even some Chengren supply stores posted advertisements for Xie Yin: "Be a man as hard as Xie Yin!" ”

Of course, the advertisements outside the Chengren supplies store are pirated, and Xie Yin does not currently endorse any sports protection brands.

However, it can also be seen from this how well-known Xie Yin is now.

There are few pirated ads, are you embarrassed to say that you are very popular?

Originally, he could start as an All-Star in his rookie season, and Xie Yin's commercial value has increased a lot.

As a result, who would have thought that Xie Yin could also win the All-Star MVP as a rookie in history.

For a time, Xie Yin became the hottest player in the Lakers' most trafficked team.

Its popularity is not even lower than that of a superstar like Jordan.

In the minds of the children, Xie Yin is also quite influential.

Xie Yin's self-tossed goal in the All-Star Game to beat the East was all the rage, and there were children on every court who were crazy to practice that move.

One of the football and basketball stars at Bethel High School practiced day in and day out Xie Yin himself to get past Jordan's goal.

Although he is not tall, he believes that sooner or later he will make a big impact in the professional field!

However, competitive sports are not about playing traffic, and in the end, results are king.

It's not enough to be popular, you have to continue to win.

So Xie Yin, who returned to the team after the All-Star break, also received a task-related to results.

"Mission: Only those who can win are called stars.

Goal: Get at least 50 wins at the end of the season.

Rewards: Three Player Essences. ”

Giving three players essence at one time, this is something Xie Yin didn't expect.

After all, you only get five upgrades once!

Although it is not possible to draw five in a row, the reward is quite tempting this time.

It's not easy to get at least 50 wins at the end of the season.

The Lakers currently have a 30-16 record with 36 games left in the regular season.

In the next period, Xie Yin will have to lead the team to at least a 20-16 record to complete the task.

Although the Lakers had a good record in the first 46 games, it was because the team miraculously did not encounter any injury problems, and secondly, because they played more against weak teams.

But entering the final 36 sprint games, the frequency of encountering strong teams will skyrocket.

This year's Lakers schedule highlights a sweet and then bitter one.

No, the Lakers' first opponent after the All-Star break is the Utah Jazz, who have never fallen out of the top three in the West this season!

Xie Yinke still remembers the last time he played Jazz, how badly the Lakers lost.

Cal. Malone is on the inside of the Lakers, and he can do whatever he wants.

I can't do anything in the Toyi Dance Club, but in the Lakers, Malone can do whatever he wants.

If it were in normal times, the Lakers would not have lost to the Jazz.

But don't forget, Xie Yin just snatched the All-Star MVP from a group of supergiants.

This is undoubtedly a highly controversial result.

Some people think that Xie Yin is worthy of his name, but naturally some people think that he is not worthy of his virtue.

So now countless pairs of eyes are staring at him.

If he was abused to death by Jazz like he did in the first fight, Xie Yin would definitely be drowned out by the sound of criticism.

And in order to complete the mission, Xie Yin must win all the matches as much as possible.

Before the game, Malone also deliberately said in an interview:

"Salt Lake City isn't like Orlando or Los Angeles, where there aren't as many bells and whistles.

Here, there is only real basketball, basketball between real tough guys.

No one here is going to perform with the so-called stars, there is only real competition here! ”

The grudge between Malone and the Lakers is not just an All-Star this time.

In addition to not being able to see Magic and Xie Yin, Malone hates Ac. Green who is in the opposite position with him even more.

AC. Green is indeed harmless to humans and animals, but he once squeezed out Karl Malone by a mere 1,000 votes in '90 and was selected as an All-Star starter!

In terms of personal data, Malone in the 89-90 season must have been a complete blow to Ac. Green.

He averaged 31 points and 11 rebounds per game that year.

Ac. Green had just 13 points and nine rebounds.

But Green relied on the popularity of the Lakers to beat Malone in the final round of voting.

Malone has been haunted by this until now, after all, it was the only All-Star substitute in Malone's career so far.

And it was still a person who squeezed him out of him at all.

Malone, who was not selected as the starter of the All-Star that year, simply did not participate in the end on the grounds of illness, which shows how dissatisfied he is with this.

So Malone has always hated the Lakers and the Lakers players who rely on traffic.

This is also the reason why the last time Malone beat the Lakers, he worked so hard.

The old revenge has not been avenged, and this year's All-Star has filled in the new revenge.

Ac. Green, Xie Yin, Lakers...... For Malone, it's a buff stack.

He's going to wave his bloody elbows and beat that fancy traffic team all over the place!

On the morning of February 11, the league's most popular team arrived in Salt Lake City, the most ugly and boring city in all.

In the realm of Salt Lake City, Ewing has to play gorilla jerk off in the hotel honestly when he comes.

Not to mention bars and nightclubs, when Malone first came to Salt Lake City, there was even only one movie theater in Salt Lake City, which was run by the Jazz owner.

This city with a strong religious atmosphere is definitely a bitter cold place in the hearts of every NBA player.

But it's not the boredom of Salt Lake City that really hurts the players.

It's the Salt Lake City team's fearsome home stadium, the Energy Solutions Arena.

This season's Energy Solutions Arena is undoubtedly the home of the Devils.

The Jazz played more than half a season and only lost 2 games at home!

The rampaging fans combined with the harsh highland environment caused all the teams that came to the Energy Solutions Arena to collapse.

Just before the All-Star break, the visiting defending champion Bulls scored 80 points with Pippen, Jordan and Grant combined.

None of them have been able to conquer the energy solution arena.

Today, the Lakers came to the Energy Solutions Arena, and most people also felt that it was more than lucky.

"Xie Yin just won the All-Star MVP, but it's a pity that a defeat will make him realize the reality."

"The Lakers have no chance of winning, and the only suspense is whether Xie Yin can come up with a convincing performance."

As an all-star MVP, Xie Yin is likely to be beaten by Malone and Stockton in Salt Lake City.

The show time is coming to an end! ”

Looking through the various local newspapers in Salt Lake City, Xie Yin could feel deep malice.

Fans from all over Salt Lake City will flock to the arena today to watch Xie Yin, the new AMVP, overturn.

Ac. Green also had a solemn face, he was not afraid of being beaten by Malone, but he was worried about being beaten by Malone.

Since stealing Malone's All-Star starting position that year, Malone's every time he meets Ac. Greena is to say goodbye to death.

Dell. Curry was also very nervous, and he felt that it was most likely Stockton to defend himself today.

And Stockton's house, although it looks harmless to humans and animals, has actually a lot of small actions.

He and Carl. Ma Long's combination is really painful.

Xie Yin is also very serious at a rare time, and has lost to the Trail Blazers twice in a row before the All-Star, and Xie Yin does not want to lose to the Jazz again.

You can't just abuse Peyton's kind of dish in the West.

After arriving at the arena and changing clothes, the Lakers immediately went to the court to warm up.

When Xie Yin appeared, the entire Salt Lake City burst into earth-shattering boos.

While Salt Lake City fans don't love personal attacks as much as Boston fans, the huge boos are enough to affect a player's mentality.

However, Xie Yin is not afraid that such boos will affect his shooting feel today.

Laughing to death, I don't have any, how can you affect it?

Subsequently, with Karl. The Jazz generals led by Malone made a shining appearance.

Ma Long has big shoulders and a round waist, and his arms are so thick that they seem to be able to break steel bars.

He looked at Xie Yin with a fierce look and touched his elbow as a warning.

But Xie Yin is not even afraid of Jordan, how can he be afraid of Ma Long.

I'll tell you that Ma Er was stunned, holding his elbow in front of me and intimidating.

You ask Danzi if the pork rib soup I boiled is fragrant!

If Connelly can really marry Xie Yin, it will be very blessed, and when she gets pregnant in the future, she will directly name whoever she wants to drink.

Xie Yin knocked it down and boiled soup for her to drink every minute.

Malone didn't beep with Xie Yin before the game, and his dislike for Xie Yin, Ac. Green, and the Lakers is not a day or two.

And the Lakers players don't like the Jazz either, after all, Malone previously snatched Abdul-Jabbar's AMVP and openly opposed the Magic's comeback, which also caused dissatisfaction among Lakers players.

The enemies were very angry when they met, and as soon as the game began, the two sides were full of gunpowder.

In the first round of the opening stanza, Sam. Perkins ate an elbow of Marlon's iron blood.

In the first round of attack, Perkins ran back and shook off the blue who was responsible for defending him. Edwards then went straight to the basket.

Xie Yin naturally did not ignore this opportunity, and pushed the ball to his good brother with one hand.

The 2.24-meter-tall "Mengmu Elephant" Mark. Yinton was too slow to stop Perkins, who broke through to the basket and got to the basket.

Perkins thought that after dodging Yinton's two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and after five of the best defensive teams, Yinton would be able to score easily.

Where did you know he just jumped up, Carl. Malone raised his iron elbow high and struck him from the side, and his elbow propped up and hit Perkins hard in the air.

Perkins fell straight to the ground, clutching his chest in pain.

The referee gave Malone a foul, but Malone didn't care, looking at Perkins viciously, as if to say to him: "The penalty area of the Energy Plan Arena is not something you want to come to." ”

Xie Yin rushed up and pushed Malone away with both hands, protecting Perkins.

Malone knew that he would be sent off if he made a direct move, so after being pushed away, he just shrugged: "Don't worry, it's going to be you soon, All-Star MVP." ”

Xie Yin clenched his fists, he knew very well how dangerous Ma Long's action was just now.

A few months ago, the Smiling Assassin had his head broken by that trick, causing the Assassin to get 47 stitches for it!

It's also thanks to Perkins that he grew tall and didn't let Malone elbow his head.

Otherwise, it is estimated that he will come to the end of this game.

The first time the Jazz defended, Malone tried to ignite the powder keg.

Perkins and Malone have not had any grudges, but because Perkins is wearing a Lakers jersey, Malone chose to attack indiscriminately.

Today, Malone is going to win the game while killing a few Lakers to help the fun.

With Xie Yin and Green on his feet, Perkins stood up, clutching his ribs.

Xie Yin is angry, he must find a chance to return Ma Long's hug.

The game continued, and Perkins hit one of two free throws, perhaps because he had just been elbowed too hard and affected his touch.

Switching to the Jazz offense, Stockton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with one hand.

Watching Stockton dribble, you'd think he's a basketball beginner.

Because he moves almost exclusively with his right hand, rarely with his left hand, and rarely with those bells and whistles.

But in fact, Stockton is not without that ability, he just feels that it is unnecessary.

This is very much in line with Stockton's style of play, Stockton is the kind of person who was unpretentious throughout the game, and when the game ended, he scored 178 points and 134 assists without pain.

Xie Yin is defending Stockton today, and Dunleavy hopes that Xie Yin can limit the Jazz's offense from the source.

Previously, Xie Yin defended Payton, which made Payton directly unable to connect the team, making the SuperSonics play like headless flies.

Defend Kenny. Smith can make Smith unable to feed the ball to Big Dream at critical moments.

In short, Xie Yin's defense of the opposing point guard locked more than just one person.

Locking is the initiation point of the opponent's entire attack, and it destroys the entire system!

But under the interference of Xie Yin's long arm, Stockton, who is only 1.85 meters tall, still made a light pass and successfully fed the ball to another Malone of the Jazz team, scoring guard Jeff. Malone.

Xie Yin had already used the fastest reaction to reach the ball, but the basketball seemed to fly by his fingertips.

Stockton got the passing angle to get around Xie Yin's defense and feed the ball to his teammates!

Many people know that Stockton is the future NBA all-time assist leader.

But what few people know is that Stockton has 2,500 more assists and 200 fewer turnovers than Kidd, who is second on the all-time assist list!

Stockton's control of turnovers is unprecedentedly good in history.

He's really the kind of player who doesn't make a lot of mistakes.

Jeff. Malone made a direct shot after receiving the basketball, and he averaged 20.2 points per game this season, and he is the second scorer of the Jazz.

The classical quarterback is extremely accurate in his catch, and the Jazz rely on the consistent output of the two Malones to occupy a place in the top three in the West.

After the goal, the Jazz were very quick to retreat.

Although Divac has also served the baseline ball as soon as possible, the Jazz still did not give Xie Yin a chance to push quickly.

When Xie Yin rushed across the half court with the ball, the Jazz team except for Mark . Yin Dun has basically defended in place.

But while Mark. Yin Dun's giant beast did not return to its position, and Xie Yin still instigated a quick attack.

He pretended to play a small pick-and-roll with Perkins, but in fact fed the ball to Ac. Green, who was waiting for an opportunity to cut to the basket.

AC. Green is fast in front of most No. 4 positions.

Can face Karl. Malone, Green doesn't have any advantage in speed.

When he cut in and received the basketball, Malone followed closely, and Green didn't have a chance to shoot at all.

In desperation, Green had no choice but to pass the ball back to Xie Yin.

And such a toss, Mark. Yin Dun had also run back to guard the basket.

The Lakers are forced to break the position!

Xie Yin continued to direct the attack, this time letting Green cover for himself.

The purpose is to attract Malone to attack him.

Malone also chose to fight with Blue as soon as possible after the block. Edwards encircled Xie Yin.

Xie Yin hit the ground in one of the two and fed the ball again to Green, who cut in.

This time, Marlon can't catch up no matter how fast he is, right?

Green received the ball and took two big strides into the frame, but as soon as he stepped into the box, he saw Mark. Yin Dun is like a towering tree pestle under the basket.

He obscured all vision, making the entire exclusion zone obscure.

Green didn't want to waste that opportunity, so he faced Yotton and chose to force a layup.

Anyway, now Mark. Yin Dun is past his peak, and he can't jump up much, so he may not be able to eat him.

This period of Mark. Yin Don really didn't jump very much, but he waved his hand without jumping and knocked Green out of his standing position!

Green was speechless, why did I feel more and more that I was moving myself by abstinence?

I can't even beat an old man who can't jump!

Although Mark. Yinton has entered the end of his career, but he can still contribute 2.5 blocks this season, and his rim protection ability is still very strong.

Still an integral part of the Jazz's defense on the end.

With him in the penalty area, Malone is much more comfortable on the defensive end, and he can not waste so much physical strength to fight hand-to-hand with the No. 5 position.

Mark. After Yinton retired, Malone dreamed that the Jazz would rush to find a replacement for the Elephant.

But unfortunately, until he left the Jazz, he still didn't meet such an inside partner who could help him wipe his ass.

But at least for now, Malone doesn't have to worry too much about the frame.

He will focus most of his defensive attention on helping Xie Yin defend today!

The Jazz counterattacked, and Stockton and Malone played a classic UCLA block this round.

The Lakers' response strategy is to directly change the defense, after all, Xie Yin also has the height of the forward, and the problem of changing the defense of Malone should not be big.

But when Ac. Green switched to Stockton, the problem was big.

Stockton was very good at breaking, and after the pick-and-roll, he saw that he was misplaced, and he made an unpretentious change of direction past Green and entered the box.

Then he made an easy layup.

After scoring the goal, Malone applauded wildly, not forgetting to taunt Green: "Hahahaha, this is the All-Star starter, laughing to death." ”

Green wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk trash and swallowed his anger.

Xie Yin also knows why the Jazz's home win rate this year is so terrible.

This team is stable, too stable!

With Stockton, a guard who barely makes mistakes, the Jazz rarely make turnovers and are very efficient offensively.

From the two rounds here, you can see how powerful Stockton is, he passes when he should pass, and he doesn't hesitate to attack when he should attack.

The most important thing is that he can accurately judge when to attack and when to pass.

As soon as he saw Green change his defense, Stockton did not hesitate for even a second, and directly chose to break through.

Xie Yin frowned, this is bound to be another hard battle today!

Sure enough, in the first round, the Jazz maintained the lead except for a 1-0 lead by the Lakers in the opening game.

The stability of Stockton and the Jazz as a whole means they play less iron and make fewer turnovers.

This also means that the Lakers have fewer opportunities to counterattack.

Xie Yin could only use his own personal ability to occasionally push the positional battle into a counterattack.

But even if the peak magician comes, it is impossible to push the positional battle into a counterattack for the whole section.

By the 10th minute of the first quarter, the Lakers were already trailing by seven points.

Cal. Ma Long looked at the helpless Xie Yin and smiled proudly.

It's all said that this is not an exhibition game, and there is no problem at all in winning you.

Now, it's time for you to taste the pain beyond being behind the scoreline.

The Jazz possessed the ball, and Stockton still dribbled one-handed across the half court as always, and then called for cover.

The Jazz's offense is nothing special, this block is not just about playing a whole game,

Rather, it will be fought for more than ten years.

The Lakers chose to change their defense as always, but this time, Malone leaned on Xie Yin with his back and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

In the process of positioning, Ma Long leaned back hard, and at the same time smashed an elbow on Xie Yin's chest.

"What about the waste? Are you cool like this!? Malone smirked.

Xie Yin bared his teeth in pain, Ma Long deserves to be the master of fighting basketball, and his attack power is indeed extraordinary.

But Xie Yin did not retreat, but re-attached himself to Ma Long's side.

Ma Long turned around immediately after receiving the basketball, and the moment he turned around, he naturally did not forget to wave his blood-stained iron elbow.

This elbow was directed to Xie Yin's head, and in 1998, the admiral almost died on the court after eating a similar elbow.

But Xie was prepared, and he leaned back slightly, using his excellent sense of distance as a former wrestler to dodge Ma Long's elbow.

It's just that he didn't hide very obviously, letting the iron elbow pass the tip of his nose.

Xie Yin fell down, grabbed Ma Long's jersey as he fell, and then tripped Ma Long, who was rushing forward, with his foot, destroying his center of gravity.

Xie Yin, who was clutching the jersey, turned around hard again, causing Ma Long to fall forward and slam face down on the floor!

And Xie Yin, who was "knocked down", lay on Ma Long's body, and the two crossed in the shape of a cross.

Xie Yin was lying on the floor with his upper body, covering his face with his hands "in pain".

The lower half of his body pressed Malone's neck with his knees!

Ma Long, who was suppressed on the ground, slapped the floor frantically as if he had surrendered, shouting while slapping back:

"...... I can't breathe! ”

The Jazz players were stunned, it was the first time they had seen Malone suffer in playing shady tricks.

Stockton, who was still the most calm and calm, was the first to react and went up to push Xie Yin away.

The moment Xie Yin got up from Ma Long, Stockton only heard the sound of Ma Long's deep breathing.

Malone ignored his bleeding nose and lay on the ground greedily inhaling the air.

Just now, Xie Yin knelt on Ma Long's neck, making his eyes dark, and he almost fainted due to lack of oxygen in his brain.

Malone has more than one season, but at the same time he is extremely angry.

That damn bastard!

No one in this alliance has dared to do this to me yet!

It's a shame to be on your knees and put your head on your knees by the other party!

After recovering, Ma Long stood up and prepared to trouble Xie Yin, but the referee blew a whistle at Ma Long, who was bleeding from his nose:

"Offensive foul!"

Malone:???

Why did I almost get killed by him, and you told me about an offensive foul?

So what's not? From the referee's point of view, it was Ma Long who knocked Xie Yin down with an elbow, and then Xie Yin accidentally tripped Ma Long.

Although Malone was broken in the nose, he was still fouled first.

And Xie Yin, who was still covering his face on the ground just now, didn't have anything to do at this time, and secretly shrugged at Ma Long.

And said to Ac. Green in a weird way: "Ouch, that foul just now was so bad, someone almost couldn't breathe." ”

"Thank you!" The angry Malone was about to rush up, but was stopped by the referee.

"Carl, if you don't calm down, I'm going to give you a technical foul."

"But I'm ...... He...... ! ”

Ma Long was so angry that he stomped his feet, and he didn't clean up Xie Yin and didn't say anything, but was educated by Xie Yin.

It was all about being thrown out of the nosebleed, mainly because Xie Yin pressed his neck with his knee just now, and he could only do nothing to slap the floor and surrender, which was really shameful.

Marlon's hands were trembling with anger, Jerry. In order to stop the bleeding for Malone first, Sloan could only temporarily replace him.

When Ma Long walked off the field, Xie Yin waved his hand at Ma Long:

"You can challenge me Carl again, but I promise, only your blood will be left on the floor today!

Is it annoying to me and can't get rid of me? That's right! ”

Looking at Ma Long's clenched teeth, Xie Yin was very proud.

You can bully a lot of people, even the Bad Boy Legion's leader, the Smile Assassin.

But you just can't bully me!

can make Ma Long deflated, Xie Yin is indeed a lot more comfortable.

But today's work isn't over yet.

In today's game, we have to continue to find a way to win it......
