NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 108 Back-to-back battles in Utah, from Utah Shuangsha's dismount! !

Kobe Bryant at the post-match press conference will once again force Grahman.

"It turns out that we are the stronger side."

"No matter who the opponent is, the team's winning streak will not be terminated."

"No one can stop us from moving forward, not even God."

"The team's goal this season? Then there is no need to ask? Of course it is the championship."

Since enjoying the fun of pretending, Kobe has thrown his cold personality into the trash can.

Isn't it good to pretend?

So delicious!
After the press conference, get on the team flight.

Kobe was not being honest while sitting on the plane. He learned from Lin Hong's side, and when the team won four consecutive victories or even longer, what kind of victory speech would he say.

"Don't get too excited, young man, we don't have time to think about it."

This kid has been a little drifting lately!
Had to give it a good beating.

Thinking of this, coach Del Harris mercilessly poured cold water on Kobe, "We are going to fly to Salt Lake City now."

"Tomorrow, we will be playing the first back-to-back game of the season."

"Coach, I am not the one who has the most trouble going to Yancheng Lake."

Kobe still had a big heart, and smiled and patted Lin Hong beside him: "Lin is the one who should cheer up."

When Lin Hong heard this, he immediately cast a sympathetic look at Kobe.

Silly boy, you still don't know enough about the Four Great Evil Men! !
The classic NBA "pick-and-roll combination" Stockton and Malone are both well-known "villains" registered in the league.

And Stockton is the shortest and weakest little man.

But he is indeed the most famous of the four villains.

Therefore, the home court of the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City is the famous "devil's home court" in the NBA.

To use an old saying to describe the degree of its "devil", that is: when it comes to the devil's home game, the Utah Jazz is second, and no one dares to be the first.

Since the start of this season, the Jazz is also one of the most successful teams to limit O'Neal.

Their two stalwarts in the line - Postman Malone + Big Pyrene Bear Ostertag, are sharpening their knives at Lin Hong at this moment!

The postman's strength and footwork are even better.

But the one who has been in charge of defending against sharks is still the great pyrenes-Ostertag!
Of course, it is obviously impossible to restrict sharks so well only by postmen and great pyrenes.

They also have the head of the four villains and the soul of ball possession-John Stockton.

This small man with a height of only 185 and a weight of only 77 kilograms, compared with his talent in organization, he has an unparalleled talent in small tricks.

Pushing knee joints, kicking feet, and sneak attacking private parts, he is proficient in all the tricks these little guys can play, but what he is best at is attacking the opponent's vital points.

Big Pyrenees Ostertag defended in the front, postman Malone helped in defense, and there was Stockton who was ready to attack at any time.

In the first game of the season, the Sharks, who led the 76ers to a fierce battle against the Utah Jazz, were restricted by these three people and struggled.

Just like this, the media called the combination of Stockton + Malone + Ostertag: Shark Buster!

Now, the Shark Buster will meet Lin Hong who only changed Shaquille O'Neal in the summer.

Whether they can change from Shark Busters to Lin Hong Busters is the most hyped topic in the media before the game.

February 11th, US time.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who flew from New York to Salt Lake City non-stop, didn't even have time to rest. As soon as they arrived at the training hall, they were busy preparing for the game.

The local media in Salt Lake City also waited in the training arena early.

After the closed training of the Lakers ended, the media entered the arena in an orderly manner to conduct pre-match interviews.

"Coach Harris, this is the first back-to-back in Lin and Bryant's career. Will the team make any tactical adjustments?"

As soon as it came up, the reporter from Salt Lake City went straight to the point and asked about the instruction manual of the LK combination in back-to-back.

Well known.

Back-to-back games are a test of a player's physical reserves.

Many players, even superstars, will be in back-to-back second games. Due to exhaustion, their state will decline to a certain extent.

Lin Hong and Kobe are also rookies this year.

How to avoid Waterloo when a rookie plays back to back for the first time is a very profound knowledge.

"Our coaching staff is discussing this issue, but I think Lin and Bryant may not need to make too many adjustments."

Harris smiled and answered directly: "In the last game, Lin has figured out how to lead the team to victory despite lack of physical fitness."

"As you know, in Madison yesterday, Lin returned at the end, unstoppable."

Harris' answer made the reporters on the scene think about it.

Yes!

In the last game, the Lakers' deforestation tactics allowed Lin Hong to recover blood successfully.

Thinking of this, the reporters looked at Harris with admiration.

They also thought that deforestation tactics were Harris' invention.

Everything is under Harris' control!
In fact.

Harris is just pretending to be tough every day!
As for the choice of tactics, it is pure nonsense.

Harris himself didn't expect that Lin Hong could come up with a tactic of cutting down forests, and after successfully recovering blood, he beat the New York gang to the ground.

"Lin, you are about to face the Shark Busters in this game, will this make you feel pressure?"

Immediately afterwards, the media focused their cameras on Lin Hong, who was sweating profusely:

"Shaq O'Neal struggled against the Utah Jazz in the first game of the season and failed to lead the team to the first win of the season."

"I'm not Shaq and I'm not going to be restricted like him."

Lin Hong grinned and answered simply: "In short, we will bring the victory back to Los Angeles."

His simple and direct answer made Xiao Ke on the side nod repeatedly.

Worthy of being the terminator of villains!
What kind of Shark Buster, what are the Four Great Villains, Malone the Iron Elbow, Stockton the Egg, and Ostertag the Great Pyrenees.

It's done!
After the media interview was over and the Lakers team reorganized, they arrived at the Energy Solutions Arena later.

The Energy Solutions Arena, built on May 1990, 5, was formerly known as the "Delta Airlines Center" and can accommodate 22 passengers.

The Utah Jazz moved to Energy Solutions Arena in 1991.

Although the arena has been relocated, the enthusiastic fans of the Utah Jazz are still with them.

Today, in the Energy Solutions Arena.

The wild and unrestrained Utah Jazz fans, led by the live DJ, shouted and cheered.

The atmosphere in the arena is very strong.

Meanwhile, in the Utah Jazz locker room.

During the chat between the postman Malone and the big white bear Ostertag, the topic gradually deviated from Lin Hong.

"Greg, can you hold off that big man?"

Karl Malone hooked the opponent's neck and joked: "At the beginning of the season, the centers he dunks are enough to go around the court for three weeks."

"But doesn't he sometimes play power forward?"

The big white bear is also top-notch: "You should be worried about being beaten down by him, aren't you? Karl?"

Ma Long wanted to refute, but was speechless.

You are so right!
"Okay guys, stop chatting and focus on me."

Just when Karl Malone was about to fight another [-] rounds with the Great Pyrenees, Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan waved his hand and interrupted their conversation.

"First of all, I have to praise you for your previous performance. The team just won three consecutive victories, which is very good."

"But today, if we get sloppy, we could end up in trouble and end the winning streak.

The New York Knicks are a lesson from the past. "

"That's because they haven't met us yet, Coach."

Karl Malone shook his head with a smile, and said directly: "If they had met us earlier, their winning streak would have been terminated long ago!"

"The No. [-] pick from the Celestial Dynasty has performed very well since the start of the game."

Jagged Sloan continued to put the hook: "Many teams' defensive systems have been pierced by him.

"Coach, like Karl said, it's because the rookie didn't meet us sooner."

Stockton, who had been silent for a long time, tied his shoelaces, raised his head and said harshly: "Coach, I will let this No. [-] pick know: the Devils in Salt Lake City are not for nothing at home, and the Utah Shuangsha are not vegetarians. "

Hearing the two ruthless men of the team uttered ruthless words one after another, coach Sloan smiled with satisfaction.

Sloan is worthy of being a well-known master tactician, and he has mastered the aggressive tactics with a high degree of proficiency.

As long as Malone and Pyrenees can be ignited, plus Stockton, the Lakers' No. [-] pick can definitely be arranged clearly.

Once Lin Hong is under control, won't he be in control if he wins the Lakers, continues the winning streak, and continues to advance triumphantly? !
After the whole team was reorganized, all members of the Jazz walked out of the locker room, walked along the player tunnel, and entered the court.

Seeing Karl Malone and Stockton leading the way, the cheers of the Jazz fans resounded even more!
"Screw that kid from China, Greg!"

Hearing these words from the stands, the big white bear grinned stupidly, and gave a thumbs up directly in the direction of the sound.

"Dunk on his head! Carl, beat that No. [-] pick!!"

Karl Malone clasped his hands and showed his strong muscles to the audience.

Not only did he want to dunk Lin Hong on the head, but he also sprayed him in the face!
"John, take his eggs! I'm sure you can do it!"

Stockton staggered when he heard the words, and almost fell down.

Your uncle! !
"Is this the basketball atmosphere of the Devil's home court? It's really scary."

On the other side, the Lakers warmed up for halftime.

The fledgling Xiaoke was really a little bluffed.

The Utah Jazz fans are too wild.

This is true.

The home fans of the Utah Jazz are the toughest group of fans in the NBA!
They can always create super persistent high-decibel boos when the visiting team is attacking, leaving the visiting team players in a trance and frightened.

Plateau barrier + fan interference, this is one of the reasons why Yancheng Lake can become the Devil's home field.

Today, Lin Hong felt the momentum of the devil's home court from the wild and sturdy performance of these fans.

But the more difficult thing in front of him is the combination of Karl Malone + Ostertag, the one-by-one shark buster!

The pre-match warm-up for both sides ended soon.

Before stepping onto the court, Karl Malone smiled and set the flag on coach Sloan.

"Coach, how many points did Shaq score against us?"

"20 points and 11 rebounds."

Sloan pinched his chin, quietly watched Ma Long pretending to be aggressive, and smiled without saying a word.

"That's it? Then I'll leave it at that, that kid from Tianchao can only score 10 points and 6 rebounds at most today."

If Lin Hong's scoring + rebounding data exceeds 10+6 today, then Greg will have all breakfast for the next week!
Great Pyrenees:? ? ?

of course.

Karl Malone dared to make this guarantee because he was confident that he could restrain Lin Hong very well.

Forcibly let the champion of the celestial dynasty hit the rookie wall and encounter Waterloo for the first time of the season!
Both sides debuted one after another.

Jazz starters: John Stockton + Jeff Hornacek + Brian Russell + Karl Malone + Greg Ostertag.

Lakers starting: Fisher + Kobe + Kersey + Lin Hong + Campbell.

In this game, Fisher and Campbell ushered in a return.

Due to the back-to-back battles, physical and mental tests have to be huge, coupled with the return of Campbell, so Lin Hong switched to the position of power forward.

Campbell served as the starting center for the game.

For the matter of lineup transformation, Silver Fox Harris has been considering it.

It's just that due to the lack of suitable players, no real progress has been made for the time being.

Jump ball round.

Campbell couldn't beat Pyrenees.

The Lakers opened the classic giant counterattack + quarterback long pass, which failed to show in the first attack of the opening game.

Coincidentally.

There are many players in the league who are 1 meters.

Fisher and Stockton are two of them.

One mountain cannot accommodate two 185s.

Ordinary 185 meets the strongest 185 on the surface.

Fisher made a decisive attack as Stockton dribbled and tried to break through, and the result…

Get lonely! !

After throwing off the fisher Fisher, Stockton rushed to the frontcourt like lightning!

At the same time, Kobe quickly returned to the defense and intercepted in front of Stockton.

It's just that Xiaoke is just a defensive rookie.

In a blink of an eye, Stockton passed Kobe clean.

Following Stockton's gaze, Ma Long used the cover of the big pyrene bear to get rid of Lin Hong, who had not yet adapted to high-altitude combat, and flew into the frontcourt from the other side.

And, gradually throwing away all the defenders, Yimapingchuan counterattacked the frontcourt!
Stockton took advantage of the long pass, guided precisely, and passed the ball straight to the frontcourt!

Bryant turned around, only to see Stockton's back.

At this moment, he really wanted to call this guy offside!
Unfortunately, this is a basketball game, there is no such thing as offside!
"boom!"

The postman Malone, who was offside in the frontcourt, received a pass from Stockton, took the ball in two big strides, set fire to the sky, and bombed the basket!
