Chapter 243 242: Killed to pieces at the critical moment! There is a big difference between you and me!

The Utah Jazz are indeed a team that almost never makes mistakes. They played very steadily throughout the game.

Jump shots after pick-and-rolls, Malone's low-post singles, and Strickland's occasionally clever outside one-on-ones.

Jerry Sloan seemed to be controlling a group of robots, and they executed tactics strictly according to the path drawn on the old Sloan's tactical board.

The success rate of tactical execution is very high.

The most frightening thing is that even if the second lineup is replaced, the stability of the Utah Jazz will not be affected at all.

The Jazz may have the most balanced lineup in the league. Just looking at the starting lineup, the Jazz seem to be just average. They can't compare to the Bulls with Joe Sappi, nor can they compare to the Suns with one king and two 2s.

But the Jazz are there, and every position does not drag the team back. And if you count the substitutes, you will find that the Utah Jazz has a reliable substitute player in almost every position!

Low horse: What? Does the Lakers lineup have shortcomings? What are you looking at me doing!?

Therefore, even when it is time to come on as a substitute, the Jazz's firepower will not stop.

They are incredibly stable, with almost no sudden interruptions.

Stockton takes a rest? It doesn't matter, Howard Ellis is also a master of assists.

Karl Malone rests? Antoine Kyle can also shoot suddenly.

When Strickland came off the court to catch his breath, Brian Russell could still hit mid-range shots steadily.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Jazz are the strongest team in the league.

Therefore, the game has been very anxious.

After Malone and Shea exchanged a few goals at the beginning, the Jazz began to exert their team's strength.

Because almost all Jazz players have reliable shooting skills, they take the pick-and-roll tactic to the extreme.

Not only the pick-and-roll between Malone and Stockton, but also the off-ball pick-and-roll between Malone and others.

On the defensive end, the Jazz used fierce confrontation to contain the Lakers, causing the Lakers to fall into a tough battle.

Moreover, the Jazz are a team that likes to use double teams to defend.

Their strategy today is that they would rather give three points to everyone else than double-team Shay.

Therefore, Shay's score did not explode today.

Looking at Shay's mediocre data today, Karl Malone was very proud.

Knock me out? What are you going to blow me up with!?

Bragging is too big, you bastard!

The game has been very tense, and the gap between fourth place in the Western Conference and fifth place in the Western Conference seems to be smaller than people imagined.

So small that you can’t see it without a microscope!

The two sides alternated the lead until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.

At that time, Shea passed the ball to Dell Curry in the double-team.

Curry caught the ball and shot, but unexpectedly Brian Russell pounced on him immediately, seriously interfering with Curry's shot.

The basketball bounced very far, and it was a long backboard, so neither Ewing nor Robinson under the basket could grab the ball.

Seeing the basketball flying towards him, Finley was ready to show off his physical fitness again, performing a performance of picking up the moon with one hand.

As a result, Finlay was just about to take off, but Stockton stepped directly on Finlay's instep!

Finley, who had already begun to exert upward force, was suddenly stepped on, and his muscles were stretched painfully.

Taking advantage of this moment, Starks jumped up, hit Finley in the face with an elbow in the air, and grabbed the rebound with his other hand.

This scene of a white kid driving a big black car was perfectly performed by Stockton!

Shay said that he always felt that Stockton looked familiar. It turns out he saw it in that kind of movie!

In just one rebound, Stockton beat Finley twice.

He is worthy of being officially awarded the title of "the dirtiest player in the league" by Rodman.

It's obvious that Stockton has so many little tricks that can make even a devil like Hua Da Chong feel dirty.

After Stockton got the rebound, before Finley had time to complain to the referee, the Jazz point guard threw the ball into the frontcourt with a long pass!

At this time, people discovered that Karl Malone had already rushed to the front!

The ball was passed just right. Karl Malone didn't have to slow down to wait for the ball. He only had to keep running forward at speed, and the ball fell comfortably into his hands.

After catching the basketball, Karl Malone jumped high, held the ball in the air with one hand, and touched the back of his head with the other hand, doing a classic pose in the air.

How can Malone be called faking? When he dunked, he was bitten by a mosquito on the back of his head. Is there anything wrong with him if he scratched it with his hand?

After this goal, Mike Brin, who was commentating on the spot, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:

"The West is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Before the start of the playoffs, the Lakers and Shay were considered the most anticipated teams and players.

Everyone thinks the Lakers can perform even more amazingly in the playoffs.

As a result, what surprised us was the Utah Jazz!

After this goal, the Jazz led the Lakers by 2 points in less than two minutes of the game!

This is the 19th time the two sides have alternated the lead in this game!

Many people ignore the competitiveness of the Jazz, Karl Malone and Stockton.

But in fact, their regular season wins are only 2 fewer than the Lakers.

So in the Western Conference, even the first round is very difficult!

Maybe as Malone said, Shay is not much better than him!"

After this goal, the deadly postman already scored 28 points and 12 rebounds.

Stockton had 12 points, 12 assists, and only 1 turnover!

The scoring of the rest of the Jazz was even more balanced. Basically, as long as anyone played, there was no one with zero points.

At this time, Shea only scored 2 points more than Malone, and the team was still lagging behind.

Karl Malone showed off his power after dunking: "Didn't you say you were going to knock me out? Shay, a man can't just talk! You have to take some practical actions to knock me out! But we all know that you can't do it. of!"

Seeing that the Lakers were trailing by 2 points with less than 2 minutes remaining, Malone thought that Shea was already very panicked. He thought that he had successfully gotten into Shay's mentality.

But after he finished the trash talk, Shay still had the same relaxed smile on his face as at the beginning of the game:

"What? Are you already impatient and want to be fucked by me? Okay, I'll satisfy you right now."

"I see your mouth is harder than the floor!" Ma Long complained angrily. It doesn't matter. After winning the game, Shay will be the hardest to be hard!

Carlisle also called a timeout, preparing to make final arrangements.

Shea wasn't pretending to be calm, because he still didn't show any nervous expression after returning to the bench.

The live camera also gave a close-up of Shay, who made it feel as if the Lakers were leading now.

Karl Malone gritted his teeth as he looked at Shay's relaxed look on the big screen.

At this moment, Ma Long felt the humiliation of "the train enters the tunnel and there are no walls on all sides"!

Damn it, I tried my best to output, but Shay still didn't react at all.

He is pretending, he must be pretending! He is just pretending to be calm!

This kid Xie just wants to play psychological warfare with me!

In fact, he is lagging behind at the critical moment and must have panicked a lot!

It's okay, Shay is about to die, don't be fooled by his acting skills!

This is ridiculous, Shay is not like the biggest parallel draft pick in history who never made any progress after entering the league. He majored in psychology. How could he have so many messy psychological warfare?

The reason why Shay is so relaxed after falling behind is because he is really relaxed now.

The situation of the game was completely as expected by Shay!

The Utah Jazz during this period were definitely a top-notch team.

Moreover, it is a strong team with few shortcomings. It is difficult for you to find any of its shortcomings and attack them hard.

Therefore, it is very difficult to defeat them with a big score or suppress them.

Many people only remember that the Jazz were defeated by the Bulls in 1997 and 1998, which became the biggest backdrop for the Bulls' last three consecutive games.

But few people remember that there were a total of 12 games played in those two rounds of the finals, but the Bulls only won two games by double digits!

Most of the time, the Bulls can only beat the Jazz by two or three points!

The Jazz are such a team, a team that can always fight hard until the last moment like the dynasty Bulls.

The Jazz are the most reasonable, balanced, and textbook-like team of this period. They are a model of true academicism.
