Chapter 239 The Jazz's Counterattack
After 5 minutes of the game, the Jazz not only trailed by 5 points, but also suffered continuous blows from the explosive Liu Han, which made Jerry Sloan on the sidelines extremely worried, but fortunately Stockton was on the court and he was fine. He controlled the emotions of the players on the field.The current Jazz must not have any non-game losses.

Stockton is now very aware of the situation the Jazz are facing, and he is full of longing for the championship, but he does not want to end the entire series just because of a fight. , is likely to be sent out directly by the referee, which means that the Jazz have completely lost hope. Although the current situation is very unfavorable, at least they still have the strength to fight the Lakers.

Under Stockton's reassurance, the Jazz players gradually calmed down, and they continued to attack.

Liu Han posted on Stockton again. He didn't relax because of what happened just now. Liu Han completely became a "machine" on the playing field.

Stockton didn't dare to take the ball too much, and passed the ball to Hornacek, who had been by his side to receive it, and then ran to Hornacek to receive the pass.

The Jazz began to move inside, and took the initiative to come to the outside to share the pressure with Stockton. Stockton finally got rid of Liu Han's defense by relying on the double screen of his teammates. He didn't worry about Liu Han posting up again. Fearlessly killed to the inside.

Malone cleverly took advantage of Ostertag's opportunity to stand in a high position. Ostertag not only attracted O'Neal away, but also blocked Horry who was trying to defend Malone.

Stockton observed the positioning of his teammates. Before Liu Han posted it, he looked back and passed the ball to Malone who was in a high position. After receiving the ball, Malone scored two points in a mid-range shot, narrowing the gap to three points.

Although Ma Long has the top muscles in the league, his shooting is very good. If the high mid-range shot is unguarded, he will have a high shooting percentage. This is also the reason why he can rank his total score second in the history of the league. bit reason.

After the Jazz stabilized their emotions, they played a smooth offense. Before, they relied more on the personal ability of the players to play the game.

The Lakers did not stagnate because the Jazz began to enter the state. Their offense became better and better after Liu Han started to exert his strength.

The two teams entered an anxious state, and the score gap remained at around 5 points.

About 9 minutes into the first quarter, George Krent first made a substitution, replacing Liu Han and O'Neal, and replaced with a pure bombardment lineup. After almost a whole quarter of the game, the chance of physical decline allowed the Lakers to take the opportunity to open up some points.

But what George Krent didn't expect was that the Jazz immediately replaced Ostertag with Greg Foster, who moved faster on defense, and both Stockton and Malone were on the court. In this way, although the Lakers have a physical advantage, their players are much worse in experience and technology than the Jazz's current players.

Sure enough, the Jazz took advantage of the opportunity of these young players from the Lakers to hit a climax.Stockton restricted Steve Nash very well, and he would always use some inadvertent small moves to keep Nash's speed from rising.And Malone also completely dominated the inside, which turned the Lakers inside upside down.The score gap was quickly caught up.

George Crent didn't panic because the Jazz gradually caught up with the score. In his opinion, the Jazz continued to let the starters play the whole quarter like drinking poison to quench their thirst. From the perspective of the whole game, this is not good for the Jazz. The two cores of the Lakers will burst out with enough strength after having enough rest time. In the second half or the fourth quarter, the Jazz will gradually fall behind. .

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Jazz took advantage of the counterattack in the last few minutes to overtake the score by two points.

"Very exciting and intense first quarter, the two teams gave us a wonderful confrontation, the Lakers opened the score very quickly like the previous two games, but today the Jazz showed a lot of resilience , they scored 34 to 32 before the end of the first quarter, and the Jazz led by two points. For the next game, Myrph, Bill, what do you two think?" Rego Sager Asked two colleagues during the break after a session.

"From the point of view of the score, it seems that the Jazz are leading, but it must be said that the Lakers have more advantages on the scene. Their two core players have had sufficient rest time, and Liu has not fully exerted his strength. It will be a huge change in the second half, overall, it will be a very intense and exciting game." Myrph Albert said first.

"I don't agree with Myrph's point of view. I think the Jazz should play better. They have played their own strength and are more focused and strong in defense. This is better than the Lakers' defense. I think I feel that the final decision of the game is still the defense." Bill Walton sang the opposite tune at the right time.

The rest time ended soon, and the Lakers replaced all other starters except Nash, and replaced them with an assault lineup centered on Michael Finley and Eddie Jones.

The Jazz have also made adjustments. Malone is still on the court, and Stockton is off the court to rest. The Jazz still maintains the strength and height of the inside.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Malone continued to attack the Lakers inside without hesitation, which put a lot of pressure on the Lakers' defense. After all, the opponent is the top inside player in the league. The opponent's experience is more abundant.

The Lakers also encountered a lot of trouble in the offense. Nash played well, but the other players of the Lakers were stared down by the Jazz, and the Lakers didn't feel good today. Like taking out the cover, he repeatedly refused shots from the Lakers players.

The Jazz took the opportunity to play another wave of offensive climax. In the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers only relied on Nash's three-pointer to score, while the Jazz took the opportunity to counterattack and scored 43 to 35 in one fell swoop. , The Jazz led by 8 points.

O'Neill got up a little anxiously and kept walking, on the contrary, Liu Han and George Clent were exactly the same calm.

"Hey, let me tell you, aren't you worried that the opponent will completely open the score?" O'Neill asked the relaxed Liu Han.

"Shaq, take it easy, we are resting now, we should take a good rest during the rest, and even relax our spirits, so that you can ensure sufficient spirits when you play. The Jazz is leading now because it overdraws the second half of the game. And don't you think you should give your teammates some confidence?" Before Liu Han could answer O'Neill, George spoke first.

"Shaq, we will definitely win in the end." Liu Han also simply responded to O'Neal's anxiety.

As the game continued, the Lakers players gradually found their sense, and they began to gain something on the outside, and this also made the Jazz start to play harder. The Jazz didn't want to let go of this opportunity to completely open the score.
