Chapter 236 The Fearless Liu Han

As soon as the Lakers arrived in Salt Lake City, they were "warmly welcomed" by local fans. Fortunately, the Lakers' service team has rich experience and chose a very secret hotel for the Lakers, so at least the Lakers players can rest.

1998年5月22日，在经过了三天的休息之后，97-98赛季NBA季后赛西部决赛第三场的比赛终于开打。

After the disastrous defeat of the first two games and the immature change of coach Jerry Sloan, the Jazz have regained their spirits, and they will take on the mighty Lakers in their usual tough style.

"Bill, welcome to Salt Lake City. Wow, I have to say, the fans here are really enthusiastic. At least we have to raise our voices when we talk, otherwise we can't hear what the other party is saying. Bill, can you listen Do you know what I'm talking about?" Rego Sagel was as funny as ever, and his last sentence was shouted like today's guest Bill Walton said.

"Oh, well, Rego, if you say that again, I'm not worried about your voice, I'm worried about my ears. It's true that the fans here have been very enthusiastic since the Jazz were established here, but, say Really, I think this kind of atmosphere is suitable for the game, because you can’t hear any trash talking in this environment, which will make the game much less disputed, haha.” Bill Walton is also a very funny guy.

"Bill, I don't think there will be fewer disputes in this game. When we come to Salt Lake City, the Jazz will definitely let the young people of the Lakers see what physical confrontation is." Myrph Albert thinks today's game will be very intense .

The Lakers are doing their final warm-up. Except for a few old players and Liu Han, some other young people are a little absent-minded. When I was in the stadium, I was still frightened by the Salt Lake City fans. The red-faced Salt Lake City fans who yelled at them made these young people start to get a little nervous.The Lakers players felt that if it weren't for the blocking of the railings on the court, maybe these people would have been rushed down to kill them, at least their expressions seemed to have such an attempt.

Seeing that his teammates were a little nervous, Liu Han felt that he should do something.

"Shaq, pass me the ball, I want to dunk." Liu Han shouted to O'Neal who was practicing free throws with the ball.

O'Neal knew that this game would definitely be difficult to play, and the opponent would definitely strengthen the defense inside, so he felt that he should adjust his touch. Maybe he would make a lot of free throws today, but after hearing what Liu Han said, O'Neal also Knowing what he was going to do, he stopped free throw practice and prepared to feed Liu Han the ball.

The Lakers players saw that O'Neal came into the three-second zone with the ball, and Liu Han ran out of the three-point line. They all knew what Liu Han was going to do, so they all made room.

O'Neal raised the ball high with his right hand and stood in the three-second zone. Liu Han accelerated and ran towards the basket. After approaching O'Neal, he jumped up suddenly, then grabbed the basketball in O'Neal's hand with his right hand and passed it from his crotch to his left hand, and took the ball with his left hand Then swung his arm and smashed the ball into the basket.When Liu Han reached the highest point, his head was over the basket.

This elegant and domineering dunk made the Lakers players and the commentators on the sidelines cheer, but the Jazz fans booed.

"Wow, what is Liu doing? Is he demonstrating to the Jazz fans? But this dunk is so beautiful, I give it [-] points, how about you?" Reg Sager said to the fans on the sidelines after seeing Liu Han dunking the blue. He made a shut-up gesture, which surprised him. He always thought that Liu Han was a "good boy".

"It's really a good dunk, and I also give it [-] points, but his subsequent actions are a bit provocative, so two points will be deducted." Bill Wharton didn't like this honest-looking young man when he first met Liu Han. I like the kind of "bad boy" with personality, but unfortunately his own son is also a "fool" with a similar personality to Liu Han.

Although Liu Han has always had a gentle and gentle influence on the fans, but in fact he also has a violent side in his heart, otherwise he would not have changed as soon as he arrived on the court, although he seldom used small moves on the court. means, but this does not mean that he can tolerate other people's insults to him.The Jazz fans played some discriminatory signs, which made Liu Han a little angry.

Before the start of the game, the referee called the two head coaches together. They expressed to the two head coaches that they hoped that both sides could exercise some restraint on the field. If there is any conflict, they will never be relentless, although this is a routine Confession, but everyone knows that the collision of muscles is absolutely indispensable in this game.

The game then officially started, O'Neill jumped the ball to beat the re-starting Ostertag.

Ostertag has not been reused in the previous games. On the one hand, his skills are relatively rough, and he has almost no shooting ability after the pick-and-roll. It is difficult to control the number of fouls, and he is often sent off for full fouls, which makes Jerry Sloan very unhappy. However, in today's fierce battle, Jerry Sloan still let the tall and strong Ostertag return to the starting lineup to deal with O'Neal.

The Lakers' starting lineup returned to tradition today, with Nash holding the ball and Liu Han serving as the shooting guard.

The ball that O'Neal dialed out was nimbly grabbed by Liu Han, but the Jazz Hornacek immediately stuck Liu Han to prevent him from launching a fast break, and the other players of the Jazz quickly returned to the defense, so the Lakers could only Start playing positional warfare.

Liu Han passed the ball to point guard Nash, and he ran to the weak side with the defender to wait for an opportunity.

After Nash received the ball, he didn't take it too much, but came to the 45-degree position and hung it to O'Neal who wanted to live.

After receiving the ball, O'Neill leaned back against Ostertag and found that the opponent was standing firmly and well prepared.However, O'Neal took advantage of the recoil and turned back, then jumped up and leaned his body against Ostertag, who had jumped to block the block.

Ostertag was inexperienced and was completely deceived by O'Neill's actions, but he didn't stop at all when he fell, and he pulled O'Neill down with a straight blow.

From the beginning of the game, the Jazz showed the momentum to fight every ball with the Lakers.

O'Neal made two free throws for the first time in the game, and the practice he did during the warm-up paid off.

The Jazz's offense is still their traditional pick-and-roll, but Stockton is struggling under Liu Han's defense, and the pass to Malone is a bit reluctant. Although Malone finally receives the ball, the previous delay made Hori Feng Dead Malone's shooting line.

However, Malone was very face-to-face. He took advantage of the dribble posted by Horry to sway Horry away, then relied on O'Neal to score the ball under the basket, and the referee called O'Neal's foul. Malone made a strong second plus one.

Liu Han showed a fearless attitude from the time of warming up. He encountered many small movements of the opponent during the attack. As long as the opponent's players had physical contact with Liu Han, their arms or knees would hide from Liu Han's body. This made Liu Han struggle a little bit, and he was a little angry unconsciously.
