Chapter 242 Extinguish the flames of Salt Lake City

For fans in Salt Lake City, supporting the Jazz is a part of life, and since the team was established in Salt Lake City, he has been the most popular team in this small city.

As the Jazz's performance has become hotter and better in recent years, fans of Salt Lake City are also looking forward to the appearance of this admired and loved team in the finals, but the team still seems to lack some championship background.

In the Western Conference finals last year, the fans in Salt Lake City were already ready to go to the finals, but they were defeated by Liu Han, a guy who had just completed a bone marrow transplant, and finally won the seventh game. Losing to the Lakers regrettably lost the hope of advancing to the Finals. Therefore, although Liu Han ignored his own comfort and donated bone marrow to a child during that time, he was praised by the United States, but in Salt Lake City, Liu Han was the most unpopular. The one who welcomes.

After entering the 97-98 season, the Jazz performed poorly at the beginning, but as the game progressed, the Jazz's performance became better and better, but unfortunately, their enemy, the Lakers, also performed better. It's getting better and better. Although Liu Han was severely punished and suspended for two months, the Lakers still made great achievements, which made the fans of Salt Lake City very upset.

In this year's finals, fans also know the strength of their opponents, but they still very much hope that the team they support can have a wonderful performance.But as the game progressed, they found that their team was not the Lakers' opponent at all, and they were beaten by the Lakers at home.

But back in Salt Lake City, although the Jazz once lagged behind, but now the team has regained its vitality. Every player is running like a kid who just entered the league without hesitation, and every ball is fighting like a battle. The Salt Lake City fans present were extremely excited, and they cheered loudly.If someone observes at this time, it is likely that the noise at the scene will exceed the noise decibel of the plane taking off.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, the Jazz tied the score 5 to 64, and the Jazz were only four points behind.

"This is the intensity of the Western Conference Finals. This is a man's sport. The Jazz showed us the beauty of sports. They fought like soldiers. Oh my God, Malone flew to the sideline to save The ball, he hit a lady, I hope the audience is okay. Now Stockton has taken the ball, Malone has shot back to the field, and he is now like a young man who has just passed his [-]s." Rego in the commentary Sager explained the game as quickly as a machine gun, but if his voice was added to the background sound on the field, the fans in front of the TV might not be able to hear it. The fans in Salt Lake City are really too wild. The referee's whistle It was hard to hear the sound.

Stockton dribbled the ball, and after Malone returned to the field, he went directly to his old teammate to cover him. Facing Liu Han's candy-style defense, Stockton could only rely on this method to avoid the defense, and even In this way, it is sometimes difficult for Stockton to get rid of Liu Han.

However, Malone's screen quality was very high this time. Stockton relied on the screen to successfully get rid of Liu Han. Then he did not pass the ball or break through to attack the inside line as usual, but directly separated Malone and Liu Han in a three-pointer. Shoot outside the line.

Stockton's shot was unusually firm, and the ball crossed a beautiful arc and fell straight into the net. The Jazz narrowed the gap to one point.

The cameras on the sidelines were aimed at the Lakers coach George Crent after the goal, but George's expression was very stable, and he was not disturbed because the Jazz caught up with the score.

In fact, George Krent is also playing drums in his heart, but he chooses to trust the Lakers players on the field. Of course, George believes that Liu Han can handle the current situation.

The Lakers served from the bottom line, Nash dribbled the ball through the half court after receiving the ball, Liu Han still settled down and ran to the weak side, surrounded by Hornacek who was defending him.

Nash hoisted the ball into the paint after halftime, and O'Neal was double-teamed by the Jazz immediately after he got the ball. Now the Jazz are basically playing with will and spirit. They only need to see the core players of the Lakers get the ball It will be double-teamed.

O'Neal did not make a strong attack, but passed the ball to Nash on the outside again. After receiving the ball, Nash immediately made a cross and handed the ball to the open Ray Allen.

Immediately after Allen received the ball, he encountered Hornacek's defense. Now that the Jazz is playing up, Hornacek chose to fill in as usual in training, but he forgot that he was defending Liu Han .

Ray Allen was not greedy at all, and once again moved the ball laterally to Liu Han. Liu Han didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the ball, he jumped up and shot, and the basketball went into the net.The Lakers re-extended the gap to 4 points.

The Jazz were not discouraged by Liu Han's three-pointer. They are now devoting all their energy to the game, and the level of concentration even sometimes ignores the score.

Then the Jazz attacked, and Malone forced Horry to score in the interior again, and O'Neal's defense was a little slower.

George Crent finally made adjustments after this dead ball. Nash and Horry were replaced by Brent Barry and Michael Finley. It has been strengthened a lot.

After Liu Han regained control of the ball, the Jazz finally became nervous. According to the past habits of the Lakers, as long as Liu Han controls the ball in the third quarter, the Lakers' outside offense will suddenly explode.

"Now that the Lakers have replaced Steve Nash and Robert Horry, and Liu is back on the ball, the Jazz are going to be in trouble. The Lakers have often played super efficient perimeter offense in previous games. Now the lineup on the court Except for O'Neal, the other four players have strong mobility and shooting ability, and the Jazz need to start strengthening the perimeter defense." Myrph Albert has also done a thorough understanding of the Lakers' tactics, and now the Jazz Whether the team can win this game depends on whether they can withstand the wave of offensive climax of the Lakers.

Liu Han dribbled the ball slowly through the half court and faced Stockton's defense. He didn't pass the ball or look for the cover of his teammates, but directly turned his back to Stockton.

Liu Han's back made Stockton extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to call Liu Han shameless in his heart, but this is a basketball game, and only by attacking other people's weaknesses can we win the game.

Liu Han sat on his back step by step and hit him step by step. The huge strength could not be blocked by the thin Stockton, although Stockton kept using various small movements in his hands, trying to block Liu Han's back .

The other Jazz players had no choice but to double-team Liu Han, but when Hornacek was about to double-team, Liu Han suddenly dodged, and then stepped back and hit a jumper.

Because Stockton kept pushing Liu Han forward, he rushed out the moment Liu Han dodged.

Liu Han's simple but effective offense made the Jazz feel as if they had encountered a torrential rain, and the rain from the pavement made the Jazz sober their feverish minds.
