NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 195 : Swept the Kings into the semi-finals, the journey has just begun!

After the timeout, after the head coach’s encouragement and persuasion, the mentality of the Kings players who had just been depressed on their faces has roughly adjusted.

They had no retreat, they still played at home. They were defeated but they couldn’t explain to the team, the fans, and themselves. At the beginning of the second quarter, they still have plenty of time to catch up with the score, go overtake, and fight for victory!

Well, at least it looks like this on the surface.

As a result, as soon as the next quarter came on, the morale of the Kings was quite good, and they began to play steadily on the court, seeking opportunities to narrow the point difference.

The whole team played very patiently and focused…

But the Jazz did not give them a chance to go ahead!

“Slapped a forty-five-degree three-point line to catch the ball, Wang Pan immediately made a motion shot, which caused Matthew Leonis, who was defending him, to subconsciously raise his hand to block the shot.

But the moment he raised his hand, Wang Pan immediately collected the ball, bowed and trot directly into the three-point line from his side.

Quickly start!

The very fast first step, immediately helped Wang Pan and his opponent separated by three positions, facing Simmons and Michael, who came forward to make up the defense? Smith, without any reduction in speed, adeptly controlling the ball, stepping on erratic steps, the whole person’s strange S-shaped position, rushed from the middle of the two.

Serpentine walking!

The defenders are directly stunned, how did this pass? !

The audience and the fans who watched the game through the TV broadcast can see very clearly. Wang Pan just now is a breakthrough method with the same hands and feet, so it is very strange how to look at it, plus the frequency of the action. Very fast, suddenly encounter, I really can’t prevent it.

Back in the game…

There was no defensive in front of Wang Pan, and he easily made a three-step layup and hit two points.

One dozen more, the key is to score so easily, it really hurts morale too much.

In the face of Wang Pan, who can make sudden shots, the Kings will often look after each other like this round, and can’t find a good defensive method.

The key point Wang Pan is not only able to break through and shoot, but also has excellent passing ability. He has an excellent field of vision. He can detect the favorable situation of his teammates at an extremely fast speed and pass the ball in the first time.

Facing the Kings, who wanted to catch up with the score, Wang Pan showed his terrifying scoring ability on the offensive end. He cooperated with Hornacek and used offense to counter the opponent’s offense, which had a miraculous effect.

In this way, after halfway through the next quarter, Wang Pan and Lao Huo were replaced. Carl? When Malone and Stockton took over, the Jazz’s lead was not reduced, but further expanded to 20 points.

For the Kings, this is undoubtedly another huge blow, and the game is basically over.

Especially when Karl? After Malone’s debut, he once again started the continuous scoring mode. When he scored eight points in a row, it severely hit the morale of a wave of Kings’ generals, and it could even be said that they had only a little hope left. It was crushed.

As the leader of this team, Richmond did not want to give up, and did not want to be so embarrassed by his opponents at home, so he chose to continue fighting.

Just like the previous two games in the energy solution arena, I tried my last bit of strength on the field to help the team reduce the score as much as possible, hoping to keep the team’s hope of winning.

His move [and the other players of the Kings] has greatly affected the overall offensive efficiency, and the arena is filled with one after another, endless cheers and encouragement.

It’s a pity that professional basketball is so cruel. It doesn’t mean that you will be able to win if you work hard.

After halftime, the Jazz still led the Kings by 20+.

Carl? Malone and John? Stockton’s combination is strong enough to cope with the offensive of the Kings and help the Jazz continue to maintain a great lead. Their advantage is really great.

The third quarter of the game started soon…

Jerry? Sloan obviously made up his mind to end the suspense of this game, but also to show respect for the Kings’ perseverance, directly sent the team’s strongest lineup, and all the four kings of Utah appeared on the field.

In the first four minutes, Wang Pan, Stockton, and Hornacek rained three points outside the three-point line of the Kings.

There was a wave of offensive frenzy, and the only thing left in this game was a little suspense!

“Sure enough, we are going to lose. The strength gap lies here. We are indeed not their opponents 〃 II.”

“Mickey and the others have tried their best, and this game can be regarded as having a clear conscience.”

“The Jazz’s three-point tactics are too strong. In these three games, almost all of them rely on three-pointers to quickly expand the score. After that, they are playing steadily, maintaining the advantage, and looking for opportunities to expand the difference. It always works. This tactic does not have much resistance.”

“Don’t say it’s us. Even if you look at the entire league, you may not be able to find a few teams that can perfectly deal with the Jazz’s three-point tactics. It’s all icing on the cake.”

“In today’s league, in terms of the importance of three-pointers, I feel that the Jazz can definitely rank in the top three, or even the first. The impression seems to be after the All-Star weekend, they began to practice frequently. Three-point tactics.”

“The conditions are met. They have too many excellent three-pointers. The rookie king, John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek, the three-point ability of the three main points of the three teams is good, even Even Karl Malone can shoot three pointers, which is very strong.”

“It’s not an unacceptable thing to lose to the Jazz. We have almost achieved the ultimate in this game, and we still can’t win. We are still behind by a big score. It can only be said that the gap in hard power is too big.”

“99 is watching Richmond and other players who have not completely given up hope on the court. The fans of the home team are all showing helplessness. They have tried their best and still can’t win. What else can they say? ?

In contrast, the mood of the Jazz fans now is completely opposite, all of them are extremely excited, waiting for the end of the game and then celebrating, and some even can’t wait, just start celebrating the ball. The team entered the Western Conference semifinals.

The Jazz played really strong in the first round of the playoffs, allowing fans to see the hope of winning the championship.

“If we can maintain this competitive state, there should be no team in the entire league that can prevent us from winning, not even the Bulls!”

“We have never lost to the Bulls in the regular season. If we really meet them in the finals, we still have home court advantage. I think we have a high chance of winning the game.” Compared to the Bulls, we are actually more difficult. To deal with teams with super centers, once the opponent’s inside line is fully opened, we will actually be more passive. “Indeed, we have only lost to six teams in the regular season this season. Excluding physical fitness and condition, the most helpless losers are the Magic, Spurs, and Rockets. Super center team. ”

“So, we still can’t take it lightly. Although we won the first round of the playoffs relatively smoothly, we will face the winner between the Lakers and the Rockets in the semifinals. Both teams won in the regular season. After passing us, the internal strength is good, no matter who you encounter, you must be treated with caution.”

U 99 watched the Jazz always maintain a lead of more than 20 points on the court. It is obvious that they have begun to control the field. The Kings must not be able to turn a big wave. The fans of the Jazz began to think of the future, but they all Without losing his mind, reasonable analysis followed the discussion.

In this situation, time flies quickly. Not long after, with the sound of the final whistle, the game that seemed particularly uncomfortable and tormenting for the Kings fans and players is finally over.

If you can’t beat and beat, if you can’t beat, you say it’s uncomfortable.

At the moment the whistle sounded, everyone on the Kings team breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, on the surface it was exceptionally disappointing and annoying.

Even if I had anticipated it in my mind, when the failure was really brought before us, the fans of the Kings team still expressed that it was unacceptable. Everyone started booing.

I don’t know if these boos are for the home team or the Jazz on the away game.

The score was finally fixed at 120:98. The Jazz beat the Kings with a 22-point difference.

Three big victories, a big score of 3:0, swept the opponent cleanly, close to the Western Conference semifinals.

In this game, Wang Pan scored 27 points and failed to continue his 30+ points in the previous two games.

Of course, this is not to say that Wang Pan’s state in this game is poor, mainly because the playing time is not as much as the previous two games, and there is basically no appearance in the final game. Moreover, when the team controls the court, Wang Pan is more not about shooting by himself, but creating opportunities for offense for his teammates. His main focus is on the defensive end.

In addition to his 27 points, he has 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block.

In the first three games of the playoffs, he averaged just 30 points per game, and his performance was not unsatisfactory.

In the entire Jazz team, it is second only to Carl, who averaged 33 points, rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks per game in three games? Malone! As a first-year rookie in his rookie year, Wang Pan’s performance has reached a phenomenal level!

At this moment, the game is over. After celebrating with his teammates for a while, I don’t plan to stay on the away side. Hu squishy, ​​not particularly comfortable.

But before he took a step, a rather free and easy voice came from behind him: “Wang, congratulations on reaching the Western Conference semifinals.”

“kindness?

Turning his head, looking at Richmond, who was showing kindness, a look of surprise flashed in Wang Pan’s eyes.

Seeing this, Richmond didn’t care about it, and continued to speak: “You have to keep winning. If you lose to this year’s championship, I will feel better.” “The championship is me. There is no guarantee to get it, but I can promise to go all out.”

A friendly hug with the other party, the Kings fans who were still booing him just now provoke a sparse applause, which made Wang Pan a little speechless. This group of fans is really realistic, but what they say is. With a smile: “I actually envy you. You can start enjoying the holiday soon.”

“If I can, I actually want to fight on the court instead of fighting women on the beach.” Richmond responded seriously.

It’s just that no matter how you listen to it, it feels like something is not quite right…Well, but I don’t say it, after hearing it, Wang Pan nodded: “Let’s make a comeback next season, you are very strong. M” You are also very strong. , And the speed of progress is amazing. “Richmond’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Looking up and down Wang Pan, as if to see him through.

But destined to be just doing useless work, after a sad smile, he raised (good Zhao’s) hand and patted Wang Pan’s shoulder, and solemnly said: “Come on, I am optimistic about your future.”

Then, without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away, his back looks rather bleak.

Even if they didn’t show much on the surface, they lost the game and were eliminated from the playoffs. For this season, they have been fighting in the league for 8 seasons. They proved their personal strength early, but the team did not. Richmond, who didn’t even make it into the conference finals, seemed a bit cruel, and he was naturally not too beautiful.

Going forward to talk with Wang Pan is just to express my demeanor, and to recognize and be optimistic about Wang Pan.

There are not many 8 years in life. What’s more, for professional basketball players, 8 years is really too long. Even many basketball players have less than 8 years of professional career. Now he has never been able to get it, even close to it. How can the supreme honor of the championship be not melancholy and not lost?

But to no avail, the professional arena is so cool, there will always be winners and losers in the game.

What makes people helpless is that it was him who lost this time, the Kings, and they were defeated without any suspense, and were swept by three consecutive cities.

No temper at all!

Withdrawing the eyes staring at Richmond, Wang Pan didn’t stay long and returned to the bench. Selena had already arranged the things to take away for him. The two left the court together and returned to the dressing. indoor.

Well, Selena didn’t enter the dressing room, but waited at the door.

Successfully entered the semi-finals at the least cost, and the Jazz team members are in a good mood.

But they weren’t overwhelmed. After all, this is only the first round of the playoffs. The real challenge is yet to come. Their playoff journey has just begun… dust.
