NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 111: An Old Tree Sprouts New Sprouts?Stockton teaches you back-up singles!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Jazz attack.

Coach Sloan made an offensive gesture, indicating that the Great Pyrenees should ask for the ball in the low post and single-handedly play Blount!
Great Pyrenees nodded with a smile, and pressed his body against Blount.

"Hey buddy, Eldon can't guard me at that height, and you can't guard me!"

"Accept fate, it's easier to hit you than that guy Eldon!"

As soon as the words fell, the big white bear suddenly accelerated.

Sure enough, it was so easy.

The very proud Pyrenees immediately chose to lay up, but at the same time he was very disdainful of the Lakers' adjustment.

however.

Just when he thought that the ball could easily complete the layup, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky.

Lin Hong pressed the ball on the backboard with his right palm.

"Olixet, Lin gave Greg a pegboard hat!"

The commentator explained Lin Hong's pegboard hat just now with an exaggeratedly excited voice.

After Lin Hong completed the nail board cap, he took off the rebound with a strong second jump.

"My God, what did I just see?"

"Lin, unexpectedly he was able to take off Greg and Carl with a quick second jump?"

"Obviously, Lin played tougher. Looking at poor Greg, he is probably covered by Guymon now."

"."

Looking back, Kobe opened up the defense on the outside and saw Malone being pinned down by Lin Hong, so he did not hesitate to forcefully kill the inside.

The Pyrenees was a step slower in making up the defense, and could only watch Kobe fly to the basket and score two points!
"Bryant was full of firepower in the second half. It seems that back-to-back battles really have no impact on the two young Lakers."

The narrator subconsciously covered his lower back, with envy visible to the naked eye on his face, and sighed: It's good to be young!

I don't know.

During the training camp for the new season, Kobe was tired of watching Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning.

So back to back effects?
It doesn't matter at all!
Jazz attack.

Facing Lin Hong's defense, Ma Long wanted to hit back to the basket and score.

It's just that in the contest of strength, Lin Hong is always the one with the advantage.

Ma Long's strong attack returned in vain again.

Lin Hong protected the backcourt rebound.

Fisher carefully held the ball and pushed it across the half court. In fact, he is a basketball porter.

Taking a closer look at the situation on the court, Lin Hong and Ma Long were inseparable again.

Although Ma Long's jumping is not as powerful as Camp, but his body hardness and strength are leveraged, so it is not easy for Lin Hong to control it casually.

In contrast, the situation facing Bryant is obviously better.

Hornacek is a white player, and his physical fitness is slightly inferior, so it depends on whether he can grasp it well.

Thinking of this, Fisher passed the ball directly to Kobe on one side.

After taking the ball, Kobe's eyes lit up immediately, he leaned over a few tentative steps, shook Hornacek away, and directly pulled out a fadeaway jumper.

It seems simple to face the defensive player like this, but it actually requires a lot of speed and core strength.

It wasn't until Kobe shot the ball that Fisher realized that this pass was a bit sloppy.

Kobe is just a rookie, and like him, he is still leveling, and he can only explode occasionally.

After Malone grabbed the rebound, he passed the ball to his old partner Stockton immediately.

Stockton did not rush to play fast break, but played a familiar pick-and-roll coordination.

With the cooperation of continuous pick-and-rolls, the Lakers' rotation and defense were obviously unable to do what they wanted.

Fortunately, Lin Hong had already expected this, and he told Blunt to help him resist the inside no matter what.

If the Jazz really shot them to death on the outside today, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

As a result, Russell's three-pointer hit the iron again.

Facts have proved that Lin Hong's bet was right. The Jazz's shooting percentage at the beginning of the second half was really bad.

After Lin Hong grabbed the rebound, he handed it to Kobe again.

One step away from the three-point line, he made a decisive three-pointer.

Russell was unexpected, and could only watch the basketball pass high above his head and slowly fall towards the basket.

With a crisp sound of "shua", Kobe's large three-pointer hit the net!

"The Lakers played well in the second half, but the Jazz rarely fell into a scoring drought."

Could it be that the postman does not go to work on weekends, rain or shine?

A look of surprise flashed across the narrator's face.

"Fack! What are you all doing? Are you going up to be a delivery boy?"

Jazz coach Sloan gritted his teeth angrily, slapped the tactical board angrily, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"You idiots! Didn't you have enough to eat! Would you like me to send you some hamburgers!"

Under the stimulation of coach Sloan, the Jazz's offensive in the next round was extremely fierce.

Malone frequently performed the magic skill of iron elbow, which made Blount scream strangely.

Stockton also went all out, and actually played hand-to-hand with Fisher, and both fell to the ground.

After a fierce physical confrontation, Malone held the ball outside the penalty area, pushed Blount away with an iron elbow, moved quickly laterally, and prepared to dunk with one hand.

In a critical moment, Lin Hong naturally would not stand by and watch, and strode forward to reward Ma Long with a blood cap.

But he was secretly pulled from behind by "Big Pyrene Bear" Ostertag.

Fortunately, Kobe shot out from the side in time, and with his super bounce and fierceness, he firmly rewarded Malone with a chasing cap.

The basketball hit Malone's leg and went out of bounds.

The Jazz are really bad.

The Lakers' backcourt.

Lin Hong received the ball in a high position and passed the ball to the short and strong Fisher.

Using his physical advantage, he forcibly pushed Stockton away, successfully entered the inside line of the Jazz, and showed off a high throw layup stunt, the ball hit the rebound high!
The Lakers got off to a 7-0 start in the second half, but the Jazz fell into a scoring drought.

The outside shooting feels poor, and the inside is frequently blocked.

In contrast, the Lakers are more like an experienced veteran team.

"John, you should see clearly this time. Lin is not as simple as you imagined. His skills are quite comprehensive."

The commentator at the commentary booth glanced at his partner and said proudly.

"In my opinion, although Karl has the advantage in strength and is not slow, his jumping ability is average and his height is not enough. It is really difficult to defend Lin."

"According to what you mean, the Lakers will win this game?"

The partner shrugged and couldn't help asking.

"At present, it is indeed the case."

"Carl, this is not your style. I remember that you used to keep your eyes above the top, either picking on the fault or on the way to find the fault."

"John, I just did it to enliven the atmosphere. A player like Lin who is full of passion and skill doesn't need me to show off at all."

The narrator's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

The partner smiled and said nothing, but secretly complained in his heart: I believe you are a ghost! !
Facing the outstanding performance of the Lakers, the most gratifying thing is coach Harris.

Blunt actually withstood the pressure and helped Lin Hong defend the penalty area.

Kobe helped Fisher defend Stockton, making the "Utah Shuangsha" weak.

Therefore, the performance of Hornacek, Russell and the Great Pyrenees is crucial.

The sad reminder is that the shooting of these three people collectively misfired, making it extremely difficult for the Jazz to play.

What's worse, Ma Long was suppressed by Lin Hong.

And Stockton is simply a star with super ability to play singles with the ball.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Jazz to be unable to open the situation.

"Old man, I think if we continue to fight like this, it will be over."

Stockton leaned in front of Malone with a worried look on his face.

"Is there any way, who will let those three guys not live up to it."

Ma Long glanced sideways at the three of Hornacek and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Instead of waiting to die, why don't we try changing?"

Stockton rolled his eyes and said tentatively.

"Change formation? What kind of formation to change? The pick-and-roll tactics don't work. How else can I play?"

Marlon wondered.

"Old man, to tell you the truth, since I was blown up by the glider Clyde last year, I have learned from the pain and secretly practiced the back attack technique.

I've made some progress so far, so I want to verify it. "

Stockton said with a serious face.

"Oh? Really? I happened to learn Hakim's fantasy footsteps secretly, but because of the coach's arrangement, I never had the chance to use them."

Malone grinned.

"Since this is the case, what are we waiting for? Anyway, we can't open the situation, so we might as well give it a go."

Stockton suggested.

"It's just, how should the coach explain it?"

Thinking of Sloan, Malone hesitated.

"Don't worry about him, we have been suppressed by his pick-and-roll tactics for too long, it's time to breathe some fresh air."

Stockton said firmly.

"That makes sense, and I agree."

Malone hit it off with Stockton immediately.

In this round of the Jazz's offensive, Stockton is still in control of the ball.

Stockton shot Malone a look as he dribbled near the top of the key.

"Old guy, what are you still doing there, you can't run anymore!"

After Fisher finished speaking, he took advantage of the situation and took a handful back.

"Rookie, keep your eyes open to see what Stockton's back shot is."

Stockton sneered.

The next second, Stockton turned his back to Fisher and played a back hit.

The narrator was horrified.

Stockton, who is only 185 meters tall and not physically strong enough, actually started playing singles with his back, which is simply incredible.

"Oh my God! Is he crazy! Why does an old boy with a weak body like him have to be tough with young people!"

The narrator immediately shouted as if he had discovered a new continent.

"John Stockton is thinking of himself as Michael Jordan.

But here comes the problem, he doesn't jump as high as Michael Jordan. "

The narrator made jokes on the sidelines.

Faced with the fans' boos and taunts, Stockton was unmoved.

While playing back and advancing, he seriously felt the change of Fisher's defensive focus.

Of course, it is impossible for Stockton to push the back for [-] miles like Lin Hong.

His purpose is to squeeze out space and complete the shot.

I saw that he suddenly turned sharply, and his movements were light and elegant, making Fisher involuntarily shift his focus.

Immediately afterwards, Stockton quickly turned to the other side, shook Fisher completely, turned over and shot a jumper.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola in mid-air and flew straight to the basket.

With a crisp sound of "唰", the basketball hit the net!

The audience rubbed their eyes hard, and couldn't believe everything in front of them.

Stockton transformed into Gary Payton.

Not only did Fisher succeed in singles, but he also applied the technique of turning back and turning jump shots just right.

"The Jazz finally broke the game, and they still rely on the singles they are least good at."

Sloan smiled wryly. Now that the ball has been scored, what can he say.

It's just that he didn't figure out when Stockton secretly practiced his back hitting technique.

"Old man, it's a beautiful goal, it's up to me to score the next goal."

Malone ran over and touched Stockton's head with a look of joy.

"The Jazz should have played more passionately. We can play this game as we want. If the coach blames me for it."

Stockton said firmly.

"Old man, what are you talking about? No matter what I say, it is a tough guy. If the coach really blames me, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ma Long swears and pats his chest.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling the joy of finally being able to play for themselves.

Lin Hong vaguely felt that the situation was not good, and even Stockton played singles.

This is the rhythm of the Jazz.

Thinking of this, he hastily called his teammates together, and told him:

"Everyone should pay attention, the Jazz may be going to fight us for their lives, you have to be more careful, don't give them a chance to counterattack."

"Lin, are you making too much of a fuss? The goal just now was obviously a helpless move. I don't believe he can score the next goal."

Blunt.

"Yeah, Lin, just those old bones of the Jazz, I can gnaw them down to the bone."

Kobe also scoffed.

Seeing his teammates belittle his opponents so much, Lin Hong could only sigh helplessly.

In the new round of the Lakers' offensive, Lin Hong received the ball in the low post, but was soon double-teamed.

He had to pass the ball to Corsi on the weak side.

This buddy saw that his teammates had scored in the account, but he hadn't been able to open for a long time, secretly worried, and of course started the singles mode.

Facing the defense of the Great Pyrenees, he first leaned over a few steps, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, holding the ball and rushing to the basket.

Great Pyrenees walked slowly, so naturally it was difficult to keep up with Kersey's speed.

But Kersey ignored Stockton, who was lurking on the sidelines.

Stockton's steals are not for nothing.

A precise "finding a needle in a haystack", after snatching the ball from behind, directly shifted to third gear, and launched a fast attack and counterattack at lightning speed.

All the Jazz players rushed to the Lakers half court like chicken blood, probably because they were suppressed for too long.

Stockton rarely showed fancy dribbling moves.

The crotch dribble, behind the back dribble, and behind the back change hands are shown one by one like a few treasures.

People suddenly discovered that Stockton didn't know those fancy moves, but he didn't want to show them too much out of practical needs.

The ones who got shaken the most were Fisher and Kersey. One got shaken buttocks, and the other knelt down on one knee, like a marriage proposal.

In the end, Stockton was not greedy for credit, but passed the ball to Hornacek who was ambushing in the bottom corner in time.

Hornacek catches the ball and makes a shot!

The posture is standard and the rhythm is perfect.

The basketball was still flying in the air, so he raised his hands and three fingers and started running back.

There is no plan to grab offensive rebounds at all.

Because there is no need, this is the confidence of the dead light gun! !

Seeing Hornacek's early celebration, the fans at the scene gasped.

"Shhh!!"

The crisp friction between the basketball and the Nets made the scene burst into cheers again!
This guy is worthy of being called "Mr. Three-point Stability". After recovering the scope, his three-point shooting rate is very good.

The Jazz chased 5 points in a row and played a rare passionate performance.
