Chapter 53 "Perfect Curtain Call", three points in the middle of the field?
Webb lost the jump ball to Jazz starting center Greg Ostertag, and the Jazz went on offense.
Ostertag was selected by the Jazz with the 28th pick in the first round in '95, a 218-centimeter-tall super-heavyweight white center, and has been able to average 7.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game this season.
The scoring and rebounding can only be said to be mediocre, with an average of 25 minutes of playing time per game, and winning this data is not bad, nor is it amazing.
However, an average of 2 blocks per game is relatively high-grade, converted to 36 minutes, almost 3 blocks per game, not much worse than Bradley, many Jazz fans have regarded him as the successor of "Mammoth" Mark Eaton.
They are all the same super tall white big centers, not strong in offense and rebounding, and they all have strong blocking ability.
This view is a bit too underestimated for the Mammoth, who played about the same time as Ostertag in his second year of Jazz years, but was able to average 4.3 blocks per game, and the two are not at the same level at all.
Stockton advanced to the front court with the ball, and Cassel hurriedly put his hand on Stockton.
At the moment, hand-check is not banned, so the outside players will be able to play when defending, which has a good limiting effect on the offensive players' change of direction.
However, Kassel started simply because he didn't want to get close to Stockton for fear of being elbowed.
Karl Malone mentioned the high post and stepped up to make a pick-and-roll for Stockton, allowing Stockton to easily shake off Kassel's defense.
Webb chased after Stockton, Malone immediately turned around and rushed to the basket, received a pass from Stockton halfway, got up and made a mid-range shot, hollow into the net.
When it came to the offensive round of the bullets, Kassel played Stockton with his back in the frontcourt.
Cassel is a very special point guard, he is somewhat similar to the Nuggets Mark Jackson who the Bullets have played before, and his main offensive means is to rely on back play.
The Barkley Rule, also known as the five-second rule for the back, is officially known as the "Mark Jackson Rule".
Cassel is also a master of back hitting, and some people even describe him as a master of back hitting.
After his back pressed against Stockton, Cassel slammed his force to push Stockton back, he was trying to use the rebound power to turn over and jump shot, but Stockton pinched the soft flesh on his waist with his pincer-like fingers before being pushed away, making Cassel hurt until he grinned.
was pinched like this, and Kassel's expected action was not made, so he could only pass it to Jalen Rose next to him.
What made Kassel even more painful was that the referee didn't seem to see Stockton's small movements at all, and he suffered a dark loss in vain.
Jalen Rose started with a three-pointer, but unfortunately he couldn't score, and the rebound was snatched by Malone.
Jazz's offense, Webber suffered the loss last time, this time he was hesitating whether to make up for Stockton, or to continue to follow up on Marlone, the result was the moment of hesitation, Stockton got a half-vacant position, shot decisively, and scored two points.
Turning his head, Webb made a shot, but was defended by Malone, and Big Ben failed to grab the rebound.
In the Jazz round, this time Malone failed to get in a good position, allowing Cassel to follow Stockton, and Webb also had no trouble of making up or following the defense, he followed Malone closely.
Just when Lin Yu thought that the ball could be defended, Jazz quarterback Jeff Hornacek immediately rushed over and made a block for Stockton.
This time, the Jazz played like the Bullets' usual backcourt duo, and after the pick-and-roll, Stockton passed the ball into Hornacek's hands, who scored a three-pointer.
Lin Yu looked at the big head on the sidelines, and this damn blocking and dismantling tactic was really difficult to deal with.
Blocking and dismantling back and forth, not to mention that the players on the field were in a hurry, the bystander Lin Yu didn't know what to do.
If the Jazz feel bad, then that's fine, Lin Yu doesn't think that his rebounding strength will lose to the Jazz.
However, after the opening, the Jazz players hit all three shots in a row as if they were equipped with a guidance system, which was difficult to top.
Seeing the score of 7:0 on the court, Lin Yu did not call a timeout, because he knew that it was useless to shout a timeout, whether the Bullets team was coached by Linam or after Lin Yu took over, it was not that they had not practiced the defensive tactics of breaking blocks and demolitions, and tonight opened to the Jazz like this, not that the players had problems defending.
If the speeding car is there, it will definitely not let Stockton enjoy the blocking and dismantling so comfortably, the speed of the flying car is a sharp weapon for breaking the blocking and dismantling, and he can use the speed advantage to ensure that his defense is not out of position.
Kassel doesn't have this kind of speed, and if he really has top speed, he won't be able to hit his back.
Another reason is that the current alliance still prohibits regional joint defense, and the restriction was lifted only in 2001, and regional joint defense is also one of the weapons for breaking blocks.
The Jazz have always been among the giants in the West by relying on blocking and dismantling, how can it be so easy to crack.
Fortunately, Jalen Rose performed well next, and he was still able to enjoy the aura effect of the week, even if he couldn't maintain the guilty pleasure all the time, because it was against a defensive colander like Hornacek, and Rose's offensive efficiency was still good.
After seven or eight minutes of play, Sloan called a timeout, at which point the Bullets trailed by 8 points, and if Rose hadn't cut points one after another, the margin might have already broken the double.
"Coach, I can't stand it, I can't stand it."
After Cassel got off the field, he lifted his jersey and said with a painful face.
Lin Yu and the others looked at it intently, and suddenly they all gasped, only to see that Cassel's waist was bruised, counting his alien appearance, he didn't need to wear makeup to shoot aliens.
"If you can't stand it, you have to top it, who can if you don't stand it?"
The speeding car sat on the bench in a formal suit, full of cool words.
"It was supposed to be you, but now I have reason to suspect that you are cramping on purpose!" Cassel said with a blushing face.
"Intentional cramps? I'm about to score 60 points, I'm brain-dead? ”
"Anyway, if you don't top it today, you have to do it, and no one can suffer for you."
The speeding car shouted dissatisfied.
"Lao Tzu is not Jesus, what kind of suffering? It's okay to let me top, and you can divide half of my starters in the future. ”
Cassel was one of the three Timberwolves in later generations, and when you think about Garnett and the madman's stinky temper, his temper certainly wasn't much better.
"I don't know if I can stand it."
Just as the speeding car and Cassel were staring widely, a faint voice came from the bench.
Lin Yu turned his head and saw that it was Ray Jackson who spoke.
"You? What do you take? You can't even stand up to Legler. The speeder glanced at Ray Jackson Road.
Webber also spoke on the side, he didn't want his good brother to come on the field to suffer, "Ray, you can't stand it." ”
"I can handle it!" Ray Jackson's gaze hardened, and his voice rang out.
"You can't stand it!"
"I can afford ......"
When Lin Yu saw this scene, his cerebellum almost atrophied, and he wondered if he had come to the set of Yangtze River No. 7, and you were filming with me here?
"Ray, you go up, I believe you."
"In fact, if there is anyone on this planet who doesn't suffer against Stockton, I think it can only be you."
"Make the most of your strengths and protect yourself."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yu and Ray Jackson looked at each other and laughed.
At the end of the timeout, Cassel, who was pinched to the bruise on his waist, was replaced, and he looked at the figure of Ray Jackson on the stage, and there was a tragic feeling in his heart that he was going to die for himself.
In the Jazz's offensive round, Ray Jackson stepped forward to defend Stockton, and his mouth was almost close to Stockton's ear.
The black rap talent was activated, and the mouth was like an electric motor, and it was like an electric motor, and it was a smack, and Stockton was dumbfounded.
Lin Yu couldn't hear what Ray Jackson was spraying at all, but looking at Stockton's expression, it must have been very lethal.
Stockton was angry, controlled the ball with his right hand, and pinched Ray Jackson with his left hand, and just started, Ray Jackson took a step back directly.
Seeing that there was an empty space in front of him, Stockton raised his hand to shoot, but he didn't expect Ray Jackson to take a quick step forward and post it.
Stockton wanted to pinch, and Ray Jackson retreated.
Stockton wanted to vote, and Ray Jackson posted it, scolding him again by the way.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, he became more and more suspicious that he was on the set of a movie, but this time it was not the Yangtze River No. 7, but the Jiupin Sesame Official.
"I jumped out, and I stood back again."
"I'm jumping out again, come and hit me, stupid."
……
Stockton was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Ray Jackson, he couldn't really beat him, and he would definitely suffer like that.
Malone ran over to do the pick-and-roll, Ray Jackson's speed was not slow, at least much faster than Cassell, drilled through Malone's human wall, and chased Stockton very closely.
Although the defensive efficiency may not be higher than that of Kassel, it can at least give Kassel a chance to breathe.
When the first quarter played ten minutes, Stockton was substituted, and Lin Yu immediately replaced Cassel back.
With three minutes to play in the second quarter, Stockton returned to the court, and Ray Jackson was immediately back on the field.
Lin Yu had been staring at time, waiting for a new aura to appear.
Although a game is 48 minutes, it can be at least 90 minutes long when you count factors such as timeouts, intermissions, halftime, free throws, and fouls.
The first quarter lasted 20 minutes, then there was a break, and the second quarter was played for three minutes, and the time had come to 7:59.
"In the weekly random aura drawing, please wait for thirty seconds!"
The piercing system prompt sounded, and Lin Yu was excited in his heart, this was the first time he had a random aura in the middle of the game.
"Passive Aura (1): Holy Shield", the effect of which is that the player in the third position on the field is immune to any damage that can cause injury, and it can be applied three times per match."
"Passive Aura (2): "Back to the Past", the effect is to activate the player at any designated friendship level, and there is a 50% chance to be immune to damage that may cause injury."
"Passive Aura (3): "Perfect Curtain Call", the effect is that any player on the designated court except for the fourth or fifth player, shoots three points at the edge of the midfield jump ball area, the effect lasts for a total of four times, the first hit rate is 30%, the second time is 50%, the third time is 70%, and the fourth time is 100%, this aura effect can only be used once."
Lin Yu's cerebellum atrophied again, and he looked at the three new auras that he had randomly received, and fell into a stupor.
What is this? Visionary Ember?!
Three points near the halfway line? And the fourth shot is still 100% hit? The third hit rate is also as high as 70%, which means that as long as the luck is not too bad, at least you can hit both!
In a game, there were two midfield line three-pointers, what kind of concept was that, Lin Yu couldn't think about it.
If you are lucky, the 50% probability of the second time will also collide, which is even more outrageous, and it can't be explained by good luck.
And if the first 30% probability can be hit, Lin Yuzhen is really worried that he will be taken away and sliced, and the movie will not be able to make such an outrageous plot.
