Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 80 Malone, you are rootless!

NBA player of the month in December is Malone.

爵士12月打了15场比赛，获得了11胜4负的成绩，马龙15场全部出战，场均上场39.1分钟，拿到32.2分12.5篮板2.8助攻1.7抢断1.2盖帽，三项命中率为56.2%、0%、76.4%。

He only made 12 three-pointers in December and missed one, so his shooting percentage was only 3%.

In addition, he averaged 12 free throws per game in December, and averaged 12.1 free throws per game. He is full of impact and unstoppable. More importantly, he is also very good at cheating fouls!

In the original world, after Malone won the regular season MVP, many NBA stars questioned the result.

The reason is nothing more than that Ma Long likes to use small moves and play tricks. When he encounters someone taller than him when defending, he never confronts them head-on.

Lu Feng did not expect that the conflict between Kemp and Ma Long would be brought to him. He had met Ma Long and Stockton when he was in college, and had a few conversations with him. .

In Lu Feng's view, the conflict between Kemp and Ma Long was purely paced by the media.

Although he was speechless about this matter, Lu Feng would not be polite to the other party, and immediately replied in front of the media: "Ma Long is not worthy of being called a tough guy. no!"

Then, Lu Feng smiled and continued: "Ma Long can decide whether I am a star or not, and of course it is not up to me to decide who is a star. Only fans and whoever the audience likes is a star, isn't it?" ?”

Lu Feng's speech gained him another wave of fans. Such words will be very common in the future, but in this era, the fans were extremely moved after hearing it.

Fans: Yes, whoever we like is the star!
The NBA also quickly seized the heat, and all kinds of publicity focused on fans and audiences. Fans and audiences are the NBA's dear father!

And for all kinds of discussions about black whistle, the NBA completely blames the referees' association. Anyway, the referees' association is already stinky enough, so it's okay to take more blame!

Referee Guild: What do you want from me, what do you want...

NBA official: draft lottery?Luck is all luck, otherwise why do you say that Lu Feng is the chosen one!

Lu Feng: It's over, this time I really can't wash it clean!
Of course, apart from the latter sentence, Lu Feng's accusation against Ma Long also caused a lot of discussion.

Lu Feng knew very well that once Ma Long got angry, he would do anything. The Jazz's home court was notoriously dangerous, and Ma Long was notoriously dirty playing.

The reason why he said this was that he intended to use the media hype to put pressure on the Jazz. The two teams were too angry, and he was worried that someone would be injured again.

There are two scenes of Ma Long's name that Lu Feng knows. One is that he elbowed Admiral Robinson in the throat, and the opponent fell into a coma for 3 minutes on the court, and was once facing shock.

The second is that he elbowed the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas in the face when he made a layup, causing Thomas to get more than 40 stitches.

Although neither of these things has happened yet, Malone's reputation is already very bad now. He elbowed Jordan, elbowed Cobra Grant, and elbowed Dameng.

Although the consequences were not as serious as the next two, they were still the most unpleasant acts of violence on the court.

This is only counting the stars who have been hurt by him while holding the ball. Those unknown players in the league have been hurt by him countless times!
As soon as Lu Feng's words came out, the media immediately grasped the key points. Major sports programs found videos one after another and replayed the Jazz's games in the past few years.

The heat of the match between the two teams was suddenly fired up, and countless players who had been injured by Malone stood up and spoke out.

Only then did Lu Feng realize that even without the two most famous elbows, Ma Long would have offended almost all the stars in the league.

Those who stood up for interviews include Jordan, Dameng, Ewing, Fliggy and other top players in the NBA.

A lot of second-rate stars like Cobra Grant also stood out, and those marginal players in the NBA even seized the opportunity and slammed a wave of enthusiasm.

Jordan suffered a concussion with an elbow in 88, and Dameng even had a big bag on his forehead.

Regardless of whether there is a video or not, as long as they say that they have been elbowed by Ma Long, most reporters will believe it.

At the same time, Ma Long couldn't refute it. There were too many people in his elbows, and those marginal people were not well-known, so he couldn't remember whether he had hit them before.

1991年1月2日下午6点30分，盐宫会议中心，超音速和爵士的新年揭幕战即将开打。

The first meeting between the two teams was broadcast live across the United States. Neither the Sonics nor the Jazz wanted to lose this crucial game.

At this time, the Energy Solutions Center had just been built, and the Jazz's home court was still at the Salt Palace Convention Center, their old team stadium.

The Jazz has used this arena for 20 years. As a mining area, Salt Lake City has a developed economy but a small population. It is just a small city, so the Salt Palace Conference Center is not big.

It's not too big, it's still very stuffy, and all kinds of facilities are very old. Lu Feng is worried that the supersonic speed will encounter things like rats digging holes.

The Jazz's home court is also the home of the NBA's famous devils. After entering the arena, there were all Salt Lake City fans wearing blue and white jerseys. The Salt Lake City fans were extremely excited.

The Jazz was one of the first teams to issue support jerseys. Since moving to Salt Lake City, the Jazz will put a blue and white jersey on each seat. As soon as the away team enters the stadium, they can feel the blue and white ocean belt. The shock came.

All the devil's home factors can be encountered in Salt Lake City, high altitude environment, crazy fans, confrontations of different scales, and the disgusting home whistle.

The Jazz's home whistle is not because the league and the referee association take care of them, it is purely because the referees are afraid of the crazy fans in Salt Lake City.

"Gift Crab, I hate Salt Lake City, the fans here are so loud, crazier than Boston!"

As soon as he sat down, Camp curled his lips and complained.

"They obviously have no achievements. I can't figure out why their fans are so crazy."

Perkins patted Kemp on the shoulder and said, "Sean, in the playoffs, every game will be like this, no matter who you meet."

The Salt Palace Conference Center is not only stuffy, but also very noisy, because the Salt Palace Conference Center is a closed arena, and the fans are crowded together, and the sound will always echo, trying to burst everyone's eardrums.

The Jazz's home court is most famous for its loud noise. It is the noisiest home court in the league, bar none!

Some nostalgia appeared in KC Jones' eyes. When he was in the Celtics, Boston fans were so crazy.

Although the attendance rate of the Sonics is much higher this season, the fans are still somewhat conservative. The Sonics cannot feel such an atmosphere at home in Seattle.

The nostalgia in Jones' eyes only appeared for a moment, and he quickly looked at Lu Feng beside him.

"Luck, how are you feeling?"

Lu Feng is now a supersonic baby bump, but don't be frightened by the barbarians in Salt Lake City!
"It's not bad, it's almost worse than March Madness."

Jones: ...

Well, anyway, Lu Feng is also a person who has seen big scenes. In Lu Feng's scouting report, one point was specifically mentioned that Lu Feng has a big heart!

The two teams simply warmed up and the players went on the field.

The starting five for the Sonics are: Lu Feng, Harper, Kemp, Perkins, and Polynice.

The Jazz's starting five are: John Stockton (PG), Jeff Malone (SG), Blue Edwards (SF), Karl Malone (PF), Mark Eaton (C).

Under the overwhelming cheers of the Jazz fans, Kemp jumped the ball and won the 224 cm tall Mark Eaton.

This is normal. Although Mark Eaton is an All-Star center, his bullet speed is not fast. The main reason is that he is too strong.

With a height of 224 centimeters, Mark Eaton weighs a full 250 kilograms. Compared with him, Big Dream, Admiral, and Gorilla can all be called strong.

When Lu Feng got the ball, he didn't launch a fast break, but dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, waiting for his teammates to take their positions.

After 2 months of the game, the Sonics also found the team's problems from multiple losses.

In addition to the well-known emptiness of the inside line, the biggest problem of the Supersonics is the lack of ability in positional warfare. Except for Lu Feng and Perkins, everyone else is not good at positional warfare, including Harper in positional warfare. adapt.

Russell and Jones are very clear that in the playoffs, counterattacks and fast breaks can be omitted, but positional warfare must not be absent.

For this reason, the current task of the Supersonics is to slow down their rhythm and let the players practice more positional warfare.

Of course, this does not mean that the Supersonics have to give up fast breaks. As long as the opportunity is good, counterattacks and fast breaks must be played. This is the signature of the Supersonics and cannot be given up.

Lu Feng stood outside the three-point line, constantly dribbling to find rhythm, while adjusting his center of gravity.

Stockton knew how terrifying Lu Feng's breakthrough was, so he didn't stick it up to defend. He also adjusted his center of gravity by footsteps to guard against Lu Feng's breakthrough.

In the two months since the start of the game, other teams have studied Lu Feng's style.

Unlike the current mainstream defender's style of play, Lu Feng hardly uses his back, and always faces the basket with the ball.

At the beginning of the season, some media and football critics would question Lu Feng's style, but after two months of playing, those who said so almost disappeared.

Lu Feng, who has the three threats of rushing, shooting and passing while holding the ball, is almost impossible to be restricted as long as he hits the basket.

Lu Feng would shoot when he was close, and shoot when he was far away. After two months of playing this season, there is no coach in the league who can come up with tactics to limit Lu Feng!

All teams have a way to deal with the Supersonics - don't worry about Lu Feng, just worry about his teammates!

Although Stockton is defending very seriously, if he wants to limit Lu Feng's breakthrough by reacting only, he is completely thinking too much. If Lu Feng really wants to break through him, he does not need skills at all, let alone Look for opportunities!

The moment his teammates settled down and started to run out of tactics, Lu Feng sped up and rushed straight towards Stockton.

Stockton didn't expect Lu Feng to make such a mindless breakthrough, so he quickly moved his hand sideways to block him.

bang——

When the two collided together, Stockton suddenly felt a huge force hit his chest, and he couldn't lift it up in one breath.

After being knocked away, Stockton's mind was still dizzy, dammit, what kind of power is this, what did Lu Feng eat to grow up?

Although Stockton is a legendary point guard, his confrontation is notoriously weak. Even Thomas, who is lame, can crush him.

If it weren't for his poor health, Stockton wouldn't have developed so many disgusting little moves, and his reputation might be better.

Stockton clutched his chest in pain, but Lu Feng had already broken through to the inside.

As soon as he reached the three-point line, Lu Feng saw Karl Malone approaching him, while Mark Eaton guarded the basket, waiting quietly for Lu Feng to come up.

Mark Eaton may be bulky, but his defense is very tough.

In the past five seasons, he has won the first team defense 3 times and the second team defense 2 times. He and Dameng are competitors for the fifth position of the best defensive team.

In addition to the defense, Mark Eaton had also won 4 blocked shots before, and he would not lose to Dameng until his physical fitness declined in the past two years.

At his peak, he averaged 5 blocks per game. Now Mark Eaton, who is in the late stage of his career, has only half the number of blocks at his peak, which is 2.5 per game.

Needless to say, Karl Malone, his "deterrence" under the basket, there is no one in the league who is not afraid!
Of course, Lu Feng would not be foolish enough to challenge the Jazz's basket protection. The moment Karl Malone came to help defend, he hit the ball through the crotch and passed the ball to Perkins behind Karl Malone.

Perkins scored the first goal for the Sonics with an open close shot.

Perkins cut inside without distracting Karl Malone and Eaton.

No matter how slow the reaction of the two is, they can still react at the second when Perkins cuts in. Eaton guards the basket, and the risk of Perkins cutting in will not be less than that of a direct short-range shot.

In addition, before this game, the Supersonics have discussed it internally, and they will not hit the Jazz's basket in large numbers.

Especially Kemp, KC Jones told him directly that in addition to countering the fast break, he should have fewer dunks in this game.

With Karl Malone's character of vengeance, whenever Camp dares to attack the inside line, he will never be stingy with his iron elbow.

Kemp himself doesn't want to eat elbows. It just so happens that his training has recently focused on shooting. It is not unacceptable for him to miss a few dunks.

As soon as the Supersonics scored a goal, the Salt Lake City fans at the scene began their abuse...

"Damn, he fouled, this is a dribbling, shit referee, are you blind!"

"Black whistle, this is definitely a black whistle! Garbage referee, be careful of your safety!"

"Fake, yellow-skinned monkey, do you want to die, clean it up for me, Mr. Lauren's shotgun is waiting for you outside the arena!"

The fans in Salt Lake City were directly under pressure. Although Lu Feng didn't care, the referee looked nervous now.

He really wanted to say: That's really not a foul!

When Lu Feng and Stockton collided, Stockton's feet had just moved. It was a normal confrontation. Stockton was knocked away because he was not as strong as Lu Feng.

But the referee knows that the fans in Salt Lake City will never listen to this kind of explanation. His best way is to slip away after the game.

The offensive and defensive sides exchanged, and it was the Jazz's turn to have the ball.

Compared with the Sonics, the Jazz's offense is extremely monotonous.

They never break fast, except for positional warfare or positional warfare. First, because most of the Jazz team are muscular men, and the speed is not fast. Second, because only positional warfare can the Jazz's strength be maximized.

Stockton had nothing to do with Lu Feng, but it was very easy for Lu Feng to defend him.

Although Stockton is good at breakthroughs, he is not a lightning breakthrough player. He is an enchanting breakthrough player whose style is biased towards Ginobili.

Lu Feng directly let him take a step. If Stockton wants to shoot, Lu Feng can defend it in time if Stockton wants to shoot. If Stockton wants to break through...

It is impossible to break through. His speed is not as fast as Lu Feng's, and his body is not as strong as Lu Feng's. Lu Feng let him take a step, and Stockton obviously couldn't break through.

But even so, Stockton will not have any worries.

Stockton: If you can't beat you alone, then call your teammates!
Seeing that Stockton couldn't pass Lu Feng, Karl Malone directly raised it up and made a pick-and-roll for Stockton.

Stockton used the butt to throw away Lu Feng, and went straight to the inside of the Supersonic.

After Malone finished the pick-and-roll, he went down immediately and received a pass from Stockton. Perkins, who was originally in front of Stockton, moved laterally in front of Malone again.

But after Perkins moved over, Stockton was completely ignored, and the unguarded Stockton immediately began to run.

Lu Feng wanted to chase and defend, but Stockton's running position was extremely tricky. The position he ran was exactly a Malong away from Lu Feng.

In order to prevent Lu Feng from stealing the ball from the side, Ma Long directly put the ball away and held it high, blocking Lu Feng once again before passing the ball to Stockton.

The continuous pick-and-roll between the two tore a gap in the Sonics' restricted area defense. Stockton found a chance to break into the basket and made a layup.

After being blocked by Malone again, Lu Feng had nothing to do with Stockton. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh, he really deserves to be Sir Jerry Sloan, and they are almost playing the pick-and-roll.

A strong-side pick-and-roll is immediately followed by a weak-side pick-and-roll, and the pick-and-roll can still be played like this. Even if everyone is against each other, Lu Feng still admires the tacit understanding between Karl Malone and Stockton.

Their cooperation just now, in addition to the tacit understanding between the two, Malone's pick-and-roll timing, Stockton's running skills, and the Jazz's tactical quality are all indispensable.

This time, Lu Feng understood why Ma Long wanted to make himself so strong. If Ma Long didn't make himself stronger for this kind of continuous pick-and-roll, he might not be able to do it.

The first strong-side pick-and-roll was okay, but the second weak-side pick-and-roll, that is, Malone as the ball handler to do the pick-and-roll for off-ball players, if Malone was a little weaker, it would be difficult to stand firm all the time.

If Malone doesn't stand firm, let alone whether he can pass the ball well, there may be a risk of walking.

It's no wonder that such a mindless tactic will never be reproduced in the future, not even Jerry Sloan.

Jerry Sloan, Karl Malone, and Stockton have always achieved and sacrificed for each other.

After Karl Malone and Stockton retired, in the impetuous NBA in the future, there will be no one who can be as tacit as the two.

Stockton gave up the master to Malone. As the master, Malone has been doing all kinds of dirty work for Stockton, which is different from other teams fighting for the status of the team.

Although Malone and Stockton did not have a championship, they took the concept of "combination" in basketball to the extreme.

Seeing that Stockton was about to complete a layup, Lu Feng shook his head slightly, feeling deeply that this tactic was unsolvable.

Just when everyone thought this was about to be scored, and the fans at the scene began to stand and cheer, Kemp suddenly burst out from Stockton's side, waving his arm high, and Stockton was startled.

Kemp's talent is really good. With his static talent and speed, even if his defense skills are only half-baked, he can still defend effectively.

In order to avoid Kemp's block, Stockton made a high layup. This kind of temporarily adjusted layup was completely a 3-pointer with 7 points of luck. No accident, Stockton's layup missed.

Although they missed a layup, the Jazz did not give up their offense.

Mark Eaton squeezed straight past Polynice with power, trapping him behind.

But he didn't want to grab rebounds. Eaton had already lost his jumping ability, and his only task at the basket was to block.

In other words, since entering the NBA, Eaton has never competed for rebounds.

His defensive ability is indeed excellent, but in the 11 seasons of his career, he has only averaged double figures in rebounds per game twice.

Eaton is only a fourth-round pick. Being an All-Star is not only due to his own hard work, but also because he is willing to do the dirty work.

He doesn't score or grab rebounds. His offensive tasks are only pick-and-rolls and blocking positions, and his defensive tasks are only guarding the basket and blocking positions.

Fortunately, the Jazz knew his role. When Eaton was about to retire, he was given a multi-year mid-level contract as compensation, and then let him retire.

Eaton can only get stuck, so the Jazz is undoubtedly only responsible for rebounding Karl Malone.

Karl Malone wanted to rush inside to make a tip or grab an offensive board, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him directly.

Perkins: I really can't help you run the pick-and-roll, but if you want to grab rebounds greedily, don't you take me too seriously?
Perkins lowered his center of gravity, pressed his feet forward to the ground, and spread his hands back, gritting his teeth to hold Karl Malone.

Karl Malone didn't expect Perkins to be so powerful that he could trap himself. He looked at the opponent's square head and wanted to punch him directly.

The fourth and fifth positions of the two teams are all wrestling, and in the end, only Stockton and Kemp, who are still under the basket, are responsible for grabbing rebounds.

Stockton: ...

I don't know what to say or not to say.

Kemp: Hehehe, I can pick up another rebound... Strange, there seems to be something next to it?Oh, I almost forgot, there is also a dwarf.

The rebound was easily accepted by Kemp. When he looked up, Lu Feng had already rushed forward.

Kemp delivered the ball with a long pass, but Lu Feng found no one, so he threw a self-dunk directly—the self-throw and dunk reversed 360° and turned around with one hand to make a big windmill!
"Mommy Falk, you damn yellow-skinned monkey, you're courting death!"

"You look like a ballet clown, trust me, you can't go back to Seattle!"

"Gift Crab, can I hit him with something, will I be fined?"

"Uh... It's best not to, the last one who did this has already been banned from watching the game, but if you really dare to do this, then you are the hero of Salt Lake City!"

"Let's forget it, if you don't let me watch the game, you might as well just kill me."

……

Lu Feng had just finished dunking, and he smiled disdainfully when he heard the yells from the Jazz fans.

Then, he directly raised his hand and made his classic listening and celebrating action...

This time, the fans became even more excited, all kinds of curses were blurted out, and the scene changed from an arena to a nightclub in Salt Lake City!

Because too many people scolded, Lu Feng couldn't hear a word clearly. Although the fans became more noisy, he was in a very good mood.

Lu Feng: You like barking, don't you? I hope you can keep barking!

However, before Lu Feng could enjoy it for a long time, someone bumped into him directly.

"Boy, show me some respect, isn't Salt Lake City a place where you can run wild?"

Lu Feng saw that it was Karl Malone who came. He shrugged his shoulders in disdain, and said indifferently: "Why, do you want to do it? Sorry, I forgot that you don't have the guts. After all, you are a sneak attack while others are not paying attention. The clown, Salt Lake City is really unlucky, Coach Jerry actually took a fancy to you, a fake football star!"

The two directly nodded their heads, spamming each other with trash talk.

But both Ma Long and Lu Feng restrained themselves and did not make a move.

Lu Feng didn't do anything because he simply didn't want to be suspended. Although he didn't mind being a villain, he preferred to be a "big devil" rather than a "bad boy".

It's more normal for Ma Long not to fight. Although he is dirty, he rarely fights. He just likes to sneak attack, and he doesn't have the guts just now.

At this time, Ma Long also regretted slightly, thinking in his heart: Why haven't his teammates come yet?

In the end, people from the two teams pulled the two apart, and the referee didn't even give a warning. There were too many such things in the 80s and 90s. Is it just a heads-up?
Later, the two teams fought a tug-of-war.

Since the first ball, the Jazz have reduced the use of double pick-and-rolls, and most of the Jazz's offense has been completed by Malone.

There is no need to use double pick-and-rolls. First, because double pick-and-rolls require too much tacit understanding, if you keep using them, you will be wary of the Supersonics.

The second is because the double pick-and-roll consumes Malone's physical energy too quickly, and it is not worth using it all the time.

The two teams played 6 minutes into the first quarter, and the score came to 16:12, with the Sonics leading by 4 points.

After the pick-and-roll, Malone went down, received the ball and went straight to the penalty area.

Polynis stepped forward to defend, Malone saw the opportunity and jumped up, Polynis raised his hands high in time.

But he found that Malone's body began to tilt before he got into the basket.

"what!!!"

Malone put his hands on Polynice's hands, picked the ball to the basket, and fell to the ground with a yell.

The referee hesitated for a while whether to blow, and the shouts of Salt Lake City fans came to his ears.

But he held back in the end and didn't sound the whistle. After Ma Long stood up, he shrugged and returned to the defense without any indication.

Lu Feng looked at Ma Long's clumsy flop and smiled disdainfully, and said: "Carl, I take back the words that you are a softie, that is really unfair to the 'softie', you are not a softie, but a rootless Miss Carl, have you considered playing in the WNBA?"

Ma Long: Hehehu...I can bear it!
"It's part of the game, kid!"

Lu Feng shook his head. Although Ma Long has a bad temper, he really can't bear it. I don't know what he thinks in his heart.

After 6 minutes of the game, Lu Feng discovered that the Jazz really liked flopping, Malone liked it, and Stockton liked it too.

Once Stockton almost made Lu Feng's foul, but fortunately he raised his hand fast enough to prevent Stockton from succeeding.

Supersonic attack, Lu Feng passed the ball directly to Perkins after dribbling the ball halfway, and ran to the bottom corner to smoke.

The most important thing in positional warfare is passing and cutting. At present, Lu Feng is doing well in this part. Now that the Jazz has not yet gained momentum, he can touch the fish for a while to save energy.

Lu Feng bent over and stood in the bottom corner, ready to look for an opportunity to cut in, and Stockton directly stuck to it.

Lu Feng's eyes were fixed on the running of the basketball. Suddenly, he saw a good opportunity to cut in. Just as he was about to cut in, he felt a sharp pain from his waist.

Being so affected, of course Lu Feng didn't take the opportunity to run out.

Touching his waist, he could still feel the burning pain coming from above.

Lu Feng glared at Stockton, but Stockton remained calm and did not express anything.

Stockton's confrontation is too weak, and he is almost blown up by matchups every game, so when he is defending, he often uses some small methods to distract the opponent's attention.

These include but are not limited to waist pinches, foot stomps, knee pushes, back slaps...

Of course, Lu Feng couldn't bear to be messed with like this. He directly circled to a 45° angle and raised his hand to signal that he wanted the ball.

The teammates passed the ball back and forth for 10 seconds, but they still couldn't find a good shot. Seeing that Lu Feng wanted the ball, they quickly passed the ball to Lu Feng.

There are still 10 seconds left in the attack time, which is completely enough for Lu Feng. After all, Stockton is the one defending him. To deal with a Stockton is only a matter of two or three seconds.

Lu Feng jumped up immediately, and after attracting Stockton's attention, he changed direction immediately!
Stockton reacted quickly. He twisted his waist and quickly completed his turn, sticking close to Lu Feng to slow down Lu Feng's speed.

But the reason why Lu Feng didn't stand up this time was to wait for him.

Seeing Stockton approaching, Lu Feng suddenly accelerated, and the left hand protecting the ball swung inertially, hitting Stockton's chest with an elbow.

Stock paused for a moment, then stopped in place holding his chest in pain, watching Lu Feng enter the inside line.

After Lu Feng went inside, because Malone was taken away from the basket by Perkins, this time Lu Feng only had to deal with Mark Eaton.

This was a dislocation. Lu Feng took advantage of Mark Eaton's slow pace and directly hit the opponent by surprise. After entering the paint area, Lu Feng raised the ball with one hand. Seeing Eaton approaching, he took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball behind his head throw...

Of course Eaton's tortoise-like footsteps couldn't respond to Lu Feng's pass. He had just turned around, and the excited Kemp met him.

boom! ! !
Kemp empty-handedly dunks Eaton, and there will be an additional penalty!
Although Eaton was dunked, he did not fall down, and managed to stand firmly after taking a few steps back.

Lu Feng and Kemp clapped their hands together, then retreated to the side of Stockton who was relieved, and said, "Remember, John, this is just the beginning!"

Stockton felt a little regretful at this time. He got used to his small movements and forgot that it was Lu Feng who was facing him this time.

Lu Feng is not a good tempered person. Although he has only been in the NBA for two months, his "notoriety" has already spread throughout the NBA.

You will fight back when you meet an elbow, you will retaliate when you encounter a small move, and they are all super doubled!

After Kemp scored a free throw, the Jazz directly called a timeout, and they have been beaten by the Supersonics since the start. Although the contrast is not great, Jerry Sloan is not satisfied with the result.

The Supersonics on the other side didn't feel much. The Supersonics felt pretty good this time, and their shooting percentage exceeded 50%.

Lu Feng and Perkins are the two best performers in the supersonic battle. Although Perkins is facing Ma Long, but relying on Lu Feng and Harper's breakthrough points, he does not need to face Ma Long. how many times.

Kemp's performance is quite satisfactory, the team's tactical manual is still too complicated for him, and Kemp, who doesn't understand the running position, smokes in the bottom corner most of the time in order not to affect the team's offense.

It is precisely because of Camp's practice of smoking at the bottom corner that Jones is very dissatisfied.

The person who needed the most practice in this game was Kemp. As a result, he was so good that he stopped taking shots. Except for two good inside cuts, Kemp didn't have any double-eye performance.

"Sean, wake up, you are playing in the NBA now!"

Kemp looked at the anxious Jones at a loss, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, those tactical maps are too complicated, I can't remember them."

Jones was even angrier when he heard what he said, and he grabbed Kemp's shoulder and roared: "So you haven't shot? Damn, can you play singles, just go to 45° and wait for the ball, don't tell me you can't even do this Won't!"

When Kemp heard that he was going to play singles, he panicked even more. Being abused by Jeff Brown, he even had a psychological shadow on 1V1.

"Sean, use your footwork more, shoot more mid-range shots, believe in yourself, and leave the next two rounds to you, let's see the effect first."

When Kemp looked dazed, Lu Feng interjected. He felt that Kemp only had no major problems with his touch, and that he would not be bad in singles.

After all, singles is not a real 1V1. Kemp can still pass the ball. His ability to play the ball is good. Although his vision is average, he can see his teammates running from obvious positions.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Feng added: "In addition, if Karl Malone doesn't leave the field, Sam, try to force him to the middle distance, his middle distance is not stable, and our defense can shrink a little bit, they only have Stockton is a shooter and Jeff Malone is new to the Jazz system."

After playing for half a quarter, Lu Feng finally knew why he couldn't get a good record before Hornacek came.

The Jazz's outside threat is too small. Only Stockton and Jeff Malone have range. The inside is too crowded, and Malone is not very easy to fight.

After returning from the timeout, the Sonics changed their tactics as soon as they came up, and the strikers all shrank.

Stockton knew it was going to suffer at a glance, and they have been losing like this for the past few years.

The game was only in the first quarter, and it was impossible for Malone to start working hard from the first quarter. Stockton looked around and set his sights on Jeff Malone, who just came this season.

As the leader of the Washington Bullets last season, Jeff Malone's shooting is still very good.

The only problem is that Jeff Malone, who just arrived, can't integrate into the Jazz system. His only role now is singles.

There is no problem with Jeff Malone's professional attitude. He has been playing hard and conscientiously. He has nothing to do if the Bullets don't renew his contract.

To make matters worse, because he joined as a free agent and does not have Bird rights, his contract is not big. On the contrary, it is very small, just a middle-class contract.

Jeff Malone, who has been getting angry for the past six months, saw his teammates signal him to play singles, and he was so angry that he was ready to teach the bald man in front of him a lesson.

But unfortunately, Harper was not something he could easily win. Jeff Malone failed to break through Harper's defense, and in the end he could only get a mid-range shot.

Harper: Boss, coincidentally, I did the same thing last year!What, are you middle class?Excuse me, I am a small maximum salary!
Harper came to the Supersonics to sign first and then trade, and he has Bird rights, so his current contract is 4 million for 950 years, ranking third in the Supersonics.

After Jeff Malone shot and hit the iron, the rebound was accepted by Lu Feng who took the opportunity to rush into the inside.

When it was the Sonics' turn to attack, Lu Feng passed the ball to Kemp who was outside the three-point line just after halftime.

Seeing Kemp holding the ball, Bruce Edwards cheered up.

Edwards: You, a forward who is close to 2 meters, take the ball and play singles from beyond the three-point line, do you look down on me?
Then, something that made Edwards even more unacceptable happened. After Kemp received the ball, he didn't hit it with his upper back, but turned around directly, put the ball at the beginning and started to dribble.

Edwards: ...

Damn it, put it in a cup, watch me stop and you're done!
Before Edwards reached out, Kemp pulled the ball aside, spread his legs apart, and began to dribble left and right.

Then, the Salt Lake City fans at the scene got angry again!

They share Edwards' perception that Kemp is filling the cup.

You big forward, show us this?

"Steal him! Steal him! Steal him!"

The fans booed one after another, but they didn't know that Edwards' head was covered in cold sweat at this time.

Because at this time, he discovered that Kemp is actually very good at dribbling, and every change of direction is full of traps.

One characteristic of Kemp's dribbling is that the dribbling point is extremely low. Edwards stared at it for a long time, but never dared to reach out.

But under the coercion of the fans, Edwards still couldn't help stretching out his hand.

Kemp saw the opportunity and threw the ball to the left. Edwards immediately lost his position. Before he could adjust his body, Kemp pulled the ball to the right again, and easily passed Edwards in one step with a change of direction breakthrough.

Edwards panicked for a moment. It was a very shameful thing for a small forward of 193 centimeters to be broken by a big forward with a height of nearly 210 centimeters.

In a panic, Edwards wanted to turn around, but he didn't want to slip and knelt on the ground!
Kemp rushed into the inside line excitedly, when Lu Feng saw Ma Long approaching him to help defend, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

However, when Kemp saw Malone approaching, he took the ball away and turned around to pass the opponent. Karl Malone elbowed the air and fell to the ground.

After turning around, Kemp took off directly, and Eaton jumped up to defend in a hurry, but his bounce was far behind Kemp. Although he successfully blocked Kemp in the air, Kemp relied on his long hands to slam the ball hard. He smashed into the basket!
"Kamp the Ruler, smashed Mark Eaton!"

At the same time, the referee whistled, this is a 2+1!

Kemp also made a free throw. The point difference between the two teams came to 7 points. The morale of the Jazz was greatly damaged. Then Jeff Malone was affected. He fell straight out of the bottom line, and he was so angry that he was half dead!
After that, Lu Feng gave the ball to Kemp again, and Kemp still followed the same routine, swaying, and then looking for a chance to break through.

Several times in a row, Kemp grabbed the position and broke through Edwards by half a step. When all the Jazz were nervous, he pulled the ball back again.

This has happened several times, and the Jazz, both players and fans, have been pissed off.

Kemp: Hey, I'm not rushing, I'm just playing!
After several times in a row, Kemp adjusted his rhythm and found another opportunity to break through Edwards by half a step.

Edwards thought he would pull back again, but he didn't want Kemp to shoot a horse-riding archery directly within the three-point line!
Finding that Kemp was coming for real this time, Edwards hurriedly intervened, but was a step slower.

Swipe...beep beep!

Another 2+1?

Supersonic looked at the excited Kemp, his face straightened, this Kemp, really trained him?

Lu Feng was also very excited. Kemp really hit it. As long as he can stabilize his shooting rate, he can become an unsolvable killer. He might be able to directly break Jordan's first three championships!
Kemp made another free throw, and the point difference came to 10 points!
Although there were only 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Jerry Sloan still called a timeout.

No one who watched the game expected that the Sonics would lead by 10 points in one quarter at Jazz's Devil's home court!
　The fan group is ready, you can add one if you want to add it!
