Chapter 231 The Jazz's Counterattack
The entire Lakers team is a little curious about the Jazz's other tactical arrangements today. After all, in the eyes of many people, it is unwise to fight against the Lakers this season. But what people did not expect is that the head coach of the Jazz Jerry Sloan actually came up with such a way to avoid the strong period of the Lakers, while playing the strength of the Jazz.Such a tactical arrangement is quite similar to Tian Ji's horse racing in Chinese culture.

At this time, the Lakers lineup is point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Dell Curry, small forward Eddie Jones, power forward Kittles, guest center is Brent Barry, this is a pure small man The lineup is very fast and is very suitable for bombardment, but the defense is much worse. After all, there is almost no defense inside, and it will suffer a lot in rebounding.

The Jazz launched an attack on the Lakers under the leadership of Stockton and Jeff Hornacek. Their insiders far surpassed the Lakers in height. Height abused the Lakers lineup at this time.

The Jazz still play their usual screen pick-and-roll tactics on offense. Stockton handles the ball at the top of the arc. Moving, Ostertag went down, involving the Lakers' defense, Jeff Hornacek came from the bottom line, relying on Ostertag's second screen to completely get rid of Dell Curry who was chasing him.

The timing of Stockton's pass was very precise, and the ball flew to Hornacek as soon as Hornacek ran to the position.After receiving the ball, Hornacek made a three-pointer without any hesitation, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to six points.

The Lakers did not feel disappointed because the opponent made a three-pointer. They will play extreme bombardment in this lineup, which is to use extreme offensive speed to destroy the opponent's defense.

When the Jazz had just retreated, Nash had already received a pass from his teammates and ran across the half court, but the Jazz did arrange everything today. As soon as Nash received the ball, he encountered Stockton's defense.

Steve Nash originally planned to rely on his speed to break through Stockton's defense and then go inside the Jazz, but he didn't expect this small, honest white man to be very black-bellied. The moment Nash changed direction, Stockton Stretching out his foot, he just hit the dribble that Nash was about to change in front of his body, and Nash himself was tripped by the opponent's thigh and fell directly off the sideline.

The referee's whistle sounded, but instead of calling Stockton's defensive foul, the Lakers were awarded the front court ball.In fact, if this kind of action is in the regular season, Stockton is likely to be called a foul, but in the playoffs, the referee's whistle will not be as strict as in the regular season, and some will be called for fouls in the regular season The actions of the playoffs generally do not whistle.

Nash got up from the ground silently. He knew that it was useless to go to the referee. For a player like Stockton, if the opponent did not commit a particularly malicious foul, the referee would generally not whistle the opponent for a technical foul. Nash could only Use your own ability to get back the lost face.

The Lakers served from the sideline, and their quick counterattack was ended by a near-foul action by Stockton. Now that the Jazz have returned to their defense, the Lakers can only switch to a positional battle.Nash bypassed the Jazz's defense and received the ball near the center line. Stockton posted it again, but this time Nash was very clever with a behind-the-back dribble to avoid Stockton, and then Nash dribbled the ball quickly. He rushed to the inside of the Jazz, but the opponent's replacement was also very fast. Hornacek made up the defense at the first time. Nash did not force a breakthrough again, but passed the ball to Dell Curry who was already open.

However, when Dell Curry tried to make a shot, Stockton had already defended. Dell Curry did not dare to shoot against the defense, so the Lakers' offense could only reproduce the organization, but at this time Their offensive time is running out.

In the end, the Lakers' offense ended with Kittles' forced shot, and the Lakers' offense was fruitless.

The Jazz also wanted to take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, but the speed of the Lakers' personnel was really fast, and they couldn't outrun their opponents at all, so Stockton wisely switched to a positional battle.

The Jazz have an advantage in offensive Zhang in positional battles. Although Ostertag didn't shoot inside, he has enough weight and strength. It is not a problem to beat Brent Barry.

The Jazz continued to rely on the inside offense to gradually approach the lagging score, but the Lakers' own offense encountered a lot of trouble.

The players of the Jazz will always stop the Lakers when they try to counterattack. They don't consider the means. As long as they can block the Lakers' quick counterattack, they will start, so that the Lakers' offense is forced to turn to the opponent. Positional warfare, but once it comes to positional warfare, the Lakers' height disadvantage gradually revealed, and they were forced to make a forced shot several times in a row.

In less than 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Jazz not only overtook the score, but also led by two points, and the Lakers were in an embarrassment.

George Krent didn't hesitate too much and stopped the game directly. He had to change the situation on the court.

"Shaq, Liu, can your physical strength keep up? I need you to play early, and I think you will play for a long time in this game. If your physical strength can't keep up, just tell me and I will make adjustments. "George Krent plans to replace Liu Han and O'Neal in advance. Now the Lakers lack a high point inside and lack enough breakthroughs outside. Although Kittles and Eddie Jones can be regarded as breakthrough players, But now the Lakers don't have a strong enough fulcrum inside, and if they break through, they will be double-teamed by the opponent.However, this situation will change after Liu Han comes on the court. Liu Han’s three-point deterrence is sufficient, and his breakthrough is sharp enough. In addition, his passing is comparable to a top point guard. George Krent believes that with Liu Han connecting the inside and outside, the Lakers The team can play a very smooth positional battle.

"No problem, George, I can stand it." O'Neal felt that he could finish the whole game.

"Me too, George, you know my ability." Liu Han also said that he could keep up.

"Okay, in the next game, Shaq, you must stay in the inside position, attack if you can, and try to hit the opponent's inside. Liu, you need to increase breakthroughs and strengthen the damage to the opponent's inside. As long as you can Let the other side's substitutes commit a few fouls, then we will win the game." George Krent has seen through Jerry Sloan's tricks, and he decided to use his tricks to let Sloan suffer for himself.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect the Jazz to get back the score. Although the scene of such a game is not very good, this is the playoffs. The playoffs are the collision of muscles and the collision of spirit and will. Contest, the Jazz's tactical arrangement is good, and the Lakers seem to have encountered some trouble." The commentator Myrph Albert is quite interested in the Jazz's tactics.

"I don't think this is going to be a problem for the Lakers, Myrph, I think Jerry Sloan is taking it for granted. The coach of the Lakers, George Crent, is not a rigid guy. He is a fickle 'young man'. Maybe George will give the Jazz another surprise, what do you think, Erwin." Rego Sager is now in love with the house, because of Liu Han, he even likes this Lakers team a little.

"I also think so. The Jazz have played pick-and-rolls for more than ten years. This is too old-fashioned. When I was still playing, they used this tactic. Jerry Sloan is indeed too rigid." As a half owner, the Magic Division Johnson will not let go of this opportunity to hit the Jazz.
