Chapter 88 : Why should I close my eyes!

With Carl? Both Malone and Stockton, the two star-level veterans, were on the court, and the pressure on Wang Pan and Hornacek was immediately relieved.

Anyway, the sky fell, and these two old guys were against it.

The game started soon…

Offensively, Carl? Malone continued to misplace with Olajuwon and smashed inside.

Although Ma Long’s height is six centimeters shorter than Olajuwon’s, the tonnage difference between the two is actually only five or six catties. The former has a very obvious strength advantage, and the latter’s physical fitness is equally excellent, but More is the route of technological flow.

In addition, the physical consumption is not small, and without a sufficient rest, he was hurriedly sent on the court by the coach, facing Carl who is devoted to his consumption? Ma Long, Olajuwon is actually a headache.

At the same time, we can see a problem, that is, the Rockets’ dependence on Olajuwon is actually quite large.

There are two teams with big dreams and those without big dreams…

This is also the main reason why the head coach put Olajuwon on the field so early.

After his debut, the short-term physical deficiencies did not prevent Da Meng from using his dreamy footsteps on the offensive end and scoring points with all-around scoring methods. The defensive end is also struggling to resist Karl? Malone’s offensive offensive, as a super center with excellent offense and defense, he has achieved the best he can currently do.

In the first few minutes of playing, Malone was clearly at a disadvantage.

It’s just that as the game time goes by every second, the gap between the two is narrowing… even Malone has begun to fight back.

In other positions, the duel between Wang Pan and Drexler has also entered a white-hot level, and the physical exertion of the two is extremely large.

Wang Pan had to rest for a few minutes before. The opponent has played this game up to now, but he hasn’t had a rest at all during the game phase. If you count the bonus that the speeding recovery stunt gives Wang Pan, his physical condition is obvious. It is 20 better than Drexler.

Can’t run, won’t move, and can’t suddenly pass… We can only rely on our own experience and pass organization ability to give the team a certain amount of help. The glider is destined to be unable to fly in this game.

However, Wang Pan was running wildly on the court as always. Under the attention of everyone, his body was already soaked in sweat early, but he didn’t seem to feel tired, and he kept on playing on the court. Running without the ball.

Before he knew it, Drexler, who was still behind him, had disappeared.

“Raise your hand to receive the pass, take off, shoot…This set of actions that I don’t know how many times I have done has almost been integrated into Wang Pan’s genes, and it is done in one go, and it is extremely smooth.

The sound of entering the net was crisp, and a smile appeared at the corner of Wang Pan’s mouth.

He likes to listen to the sound of shooting, like to see the splash of net flowers, like the substantive touch of the basketball when it leaves his fingertips…

He…likes basketball!



“This kid seems to be very tired, why is he still laughing?!” “I don’t know, maybe it’s a silly run away. Is there really no problem with Clyde? I think Rudy should treat him It’s just a normal regular season. Even if we lose, it’s not a big deal. We just need to win the playoffs again.”

“I think so, but to be honest, the yellow-skinned rookie of the Jazz really can run, really can resist, really ying on the court, it actually dragged down Clyde’s physical fitness. Many physical confrontations have also been carried down!” “That kid is obviously already close to the limit, and most of the time he can’t keep it until the end of the game.”

“We are still 7 points behind, and there are only three minutes and seventeen seconds left in the game. I always find it difficult to comeback.”

“No, I believe Hakim, he can definitely bring us victory.”

“But Hakim is almost reaching the limit.” “99 bystanders, please, the fans and spectators in the arena are very clear about the conditions of the players on the field.

Obviously, not only Wang Pan and Drexler, but even Olajuwon is nearing the limit of physical fitness. It is supported by willpower. This super center has always been extremely stable. There has been a significant drop in scoring efficiency.

This gives the Jazz a chance to further expand the points difference, just need an opportunity, the points difference will be further expanded.

The Jazz didn’t have to wait too long, and this opportunity appeared in the following round…

duang!

Facing Carl? Malone’s defensive eyeball defense, Olajuwon missed the hook, Ostertag strenuously grabbed the backboard and immediately passed the ball to Stockton.

The Jazz quickly countered…

Wang Pan, who was unanimously considered by the home team fans to be close to his physical limit, ran to the front court madly, where he looked like a player who played on the court for forty minutes. The speed was too fast. He was responsible for defending his morality. Rexler was dumbfounded.

After just two steps, I felt my right foot soft and almost cramped. I could no longer exert any strength. I could only watch Wang Pan getting further and further away from him, as if it was his lost youth. Far away.

Realizing that Wang Pan had already run to the frontcourt, Stockton made a precise long pass and delivered the basketball to Wang Pan. Only Kenny was left in front of him? One of Smith’s defenders blocked the front.

“Go away!” With the huge impact of forward rushing, Wang Pan looked like he didn’t want to reason with you, just like an armored car moving forward at full speed, dribbling the ball straight forward.

Looking at Wang Pan, Kenny? Smith swallowed, but dodged. Instead, he stood firmly on the spot with his hands folded in front of him, ready to commit Wang Pan’s offensive foul.

The moment the two were about to collide, Kenny? Smith closed his eyes directly, his whole body tight.

“I can’t die if I ran into it with such a strong momentum?” Kenny? Smith was extremely nervous.

But the expected pain of Peng’s collision never came. He only felt a gust of wind blowing beside him, and then there was a sound of entering the net behind him, pulling him back to reality. He opened his eyes and turned to look behind him. What caught his eyes was that he had completed the layup. After landing safely, he walked back to the Jazz’s half-time Wang Pan’s calm and suffocating eyes. “Are you playing a wooden stake just now?” Wang Pan smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

Without giving the other party a chance to respond, he stepped away.

“This rookie…” I thought that my embarrassing behavior was “witted” by more than 10,000 home team fans at the scene. There are also countless spectators and fans who are watching the game through television. Seeing his embarrassing performance, people may even make fun of this incident from time to time in the future, Kenny? Smith’s mood is very complicated.

Why should I close my eyes? !

Back in the game, relying on Wang Pan’s two points, the Jazz once again expanded the point difference to 9 points.

That is to say, the Rockets’ efforts in these six minutes have been in vain, which is undoubtedly a big blow to morale.

The morale of the Jazz is high, no matter how you look at it, they have a lot of advantage now.

But we can’t relax our vigilance. After all, there are many key gentlemen in the opponent’s lineup. Once they relax, they may be seized by the opponent to directly overtake the score.

So in the next defensive round, even if Drexler was not too threatened because of his physical fitness, Wang Pan continued to adopt a high-pressure defense against it. Carl inside? Malone, the Jazz players in other positions are the same.

Until the last moment, never let your guard down, this style of play has already penetrated the bones of every player on the team…

In the end, as Olajuwon made a pass error in the double team and was stole by Hornacek, the suspense of the game was basically gone.

Very sophisticated in the Rockets’ three-point line holding time, Stockton did not rush to take offense.

Wang Pan stood outside the bottom three-point line, his eyes were firm and focused, as if he was a cheetah ready to attack. Drexler was very tired to see Drexler in front of him. He was really unable to run. Yes, it seems that both feet are filled with lead water.

Unfortunately, Wang Pan did not stay outside the three-point line as he wanted. When the last nine seconds of offensive time were left, he suddenly started and ran down the bottom line to the bottom three-point line on the other side. Position, then circled the position one step inside the three-point line, and went straight to the top three-point line outside the arc.

Looking behind him, Drexler was no longer visible.

Is it Robert? Horry made up the defense in time, but Stockton did not pass the ball to Wang Pan. Instead, he broke into the three-point line with Malone’s pick-and-roll, and unexpectedly made an emergency stop shot. , A steady hit, adding two more points for the team, the Jazz’s lead reached the goal point.

With only one minute and thirty-three seconds left in the game, the Rockets have no hope of a comeback.

Jerry? To be on the safe side, Sloan called a timeout to let the players rest for a while, and replaced Ostertag, who was obviously unable to support his physical fitness, and replaced him with Felton? Spencer hesitated, looking at Wang Pan’s firm eyes, but in the end he didn’t replace him.

As for the Rockets, Drexler must not be able to hold on anymore. Its head coach Rudy is not ready to put him on the court. In case of injury, it will be more than worth the loss, but he is not ready to give up the game directly. , Even if he agrees, the core of the team Olajuwon is not willing.

So the timeout came back, they sent Olajuwon + Robert? Horry + Mario? Ellie + Sam? Kassel + Kenny? Smith’s lineup.

Except for Olajuwon, the other four players on the field all have good three-pointers.

The Rockets’ intention is very obvious, it is to rely on three-pointers to chase points!

This is the fact. In the first round of the suspension, relying on Olajuwon’s pick-and-roll, Kassel decisively took a three-pointer after he had a chance.

With a crisp sound, the basketball was caught through the net.

Hit a three-pointer, with 8 points left, and one minute and nineteen seconds left in the game!

The Rockets did not give up hope.

The Jazz attacked. Stockton moved the ball inside after spending fifteen seconds of offensive time from outside the three-point line.

Carl? Malone flicked the ball for a while, instead of hitting it by himself, instead he handed his opponent a pass to Wang Pan, who was rushing forward, and helped block the Rockets defender, Robert? Horry reacted swiftly, ignored Malone, and rushed towards Wang Pan, who was holding the ball.

Seeing this, Wang Pan did not choose to shoot by himself, but threw the ball to the right.

“Pa just helped him block Cassell’s Malone to catch the ball. He missed the ball. He easily hit two points on a 303 field goal. The point difference widened to 10 points.

Only 58 seconds left in the game.

The time left for the Rockets is running out. The bottom line serves, and the offensive end makes another three-pointer. This time, Mario shot? Ellie.

It’s a pity that his three-pointer was anxious and failed to make a hit. Spencer protected the backcourt but was fouled by Olajuwon the first time.

The big dream experience is still very rich.

Just based on Spencer’s 70% free throw percentage, sincerely he may not be able to make both free throws.

Two free throws were made, which was considered acceptable to both sides of the game. Olajuwon grabbed the rebound and the Rockets immediately called a timeout.

There are 50 seconds left in the game!

The Jazz lead the Rockets by goal…

The next round is crucial, Jerry? Sloan also adjusted the team’s lineup, replacing Spencer with Antoine who had a better free throw? Kyle, in case he is chased by the opponent’s foul tactics.

A few tens of seconds passed quickly, and the Rockets sideline service, which was the last timeout, was used up, Kenny? Smith rushed out of the crowd and received the pass. After two steps in the dribble, he made a gesture and passed the ball to Robert? Horry.

The latter catches the ball and faces Antoine? Kyle fumbled a few times, seeing that Kyle was not fooled, he could not help but pass the ball out.

Cassel just got ready to make a move after receiving the ball, Wang Pan has already stepped forward, not giving him a chance to start.

For a time, the Rockets’ offensive came to a standstill.

Olajuwon hurried forward and took advantage of his pick and roll to get Kassel to get shooting space, but Malone had already made up the defense and had no chance to shoot.

Time went by every second, and there was no good opportunity on the court. Cassel was very anxious, and finally passed the ball to Big Dream.

In a big way, Wang Pan personally felt the power of the fantasy footsteps of the physical exhaustion version…Well, it’s really amazing, I can’t help it…

The difference has been reduced to 9 points!

With only the last 33 seconds left in the game, Stockton dribbled the ball through halftime and continued to waste time.

Looking at the fast passing time on the scoreboard, the Rockets’ generals are extremely anxious, but there is no good way, and they dare not directly foul Stockton, a guy whose free throw percentage is close to 85%. .

This hesitation, time passed more than ten seconds, watching Stockton still spend time outside the three-point line in a hurry, even if this attack is not offensive, it will run out of time. What looks like, Kenny? Smith couldn’t help it at last, and stepped forward and fouled.

“Laughing~ Laughing~” After making steady two free throws, Stockton’s two points formally announced the end of the game?…
