So at the beginning of the game, he would attack a few aggressively, doubling the pressure on the Lakers, and living in panic throughout the game!

He wants the Lakers to experience the horror of MVP!

Malone is full of confidence in scoring in the opening game to scare his opponents.

Although Mutombo is back and sitting in the paint, what Malone is least afraid of is exactly this kind of traditional big center.

Because the Jazz are a pick-and-roll team, Malone simply doesn't compete with those traditional big centers.

Why did the Jazz defeat the Sharks' Knicks in the regular season this season? Why could the Jazz easily eliminate the Big Dream this season?

It's because neither O'Neal nor Olajuwon, whose mobility has seriously declined, can't defend and contain the pick-and-roll.

Facing the pick-and-roll, the two of them would either sit down and let Malone shoot, or they would pull out and be beaten by Malone.

In the original history, when the Jazz swept the OK Lakers in 1998, Malone averaged 30 points per game with a 50.6% shooting rate in four games. This is how it came about.

Use the fourth position to defend Malone? It would be even easier for Malone because there are not many fourth positions in the entire league who can match up with Malone.

Most No. 4 positions are stronger than him but not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are definitely not as strong as him.

O'Neal and Olajuwon felt like playing against Malone, just like Yao Ming playing against Boozer and Okur.

It was so uncomfortable that I died.

Therefore, Malone thought that if Muttom defended him, he could make arbitrary mid-range shots.

And if O'Neal were to defend himself, even that little stick wouldn't be enough for Malone to stuff between his teeth.

If the Lakers let Rodman start directly? It would be easier to abuse the old, weak, sick and disabled!

Ma Long is gearing up, there is no way he will lose this game!

Not only do you have to win, you also have to produce MVP-level data!

Don't blame me, if you want to blame, just blame your boss for making trouble through his mouth~

But just when Malone was determined to make a big move and give the Lakers a showdown.

But he discovered that the Lakers had changed their formation.

The Lakers' starting lineup today is Billups, Shea, Finley, Mutombo and Ben!

Although the configuration of the outside line is still the same, the combination of the inside line has changed again.

Carlisle and Thibodeau are not stupid, and they certainly have a lot of research into this season's MVP.

Malone is indeed difficult to deal with, but if we use a fast and hard man, how should you deal with it?

Ben is definitely not inferior to Malone in terms of footwork, and his body is equally comparable to Malone's "Mr. Bodybuilder".

Although a bit shorter, considering that Malone's offense is mainly based on big jump shots, Ben can also give him great interference with his long arms.

And in order to make up for the absence of Da Ben, who is too short, he put a big African mountain behind his butt.

The reason why the combination of Ben + Mutombo was not used in the last round was because they had to compete offensively with the Suns, and the offense of this inside combination was too hard-core.

In this round, Carlisle and Thibodeau agreed that if Malone was killed, the Jazz's offense would be completely paralyzed.

Therefore, it is enough to have three outsiders on the offensive end.

Not to mention, there is a bastard sitting on the Lakers bench who is gearing up and ready to cause a scene at any time.

Rodman and Big Ben take turns, and the MVP will win even if he doesn't win!

In a change of formation that shocked both Malone and Sloan, the game began.

On the Jazz side, center Greg Foster got the ball.

From the beginning, the Jazz played a pick-and-roll that has never changed.

Malone stepped up and Stockton used the screen to break through.

Billups relied on his height and wingspan to bypass the screen and continue to cover Stockton, denying him room for a mid-range jumper.

Seeing this situation, Stockton returned the ball to Malone.

In front of Ma Long, the man with the afro had a fierce look and was covered in flesh.

If it were an ordinary center, Malone would have passed in one step.

But Malone knows very well that Ben Wallace is a guy who moves as fast as a forward.

So, he chose to play post-up!

But Ma Long tried his best to lean back, but he seemed to have hit an iron plate without any space.

Malone gritted his teeth. His strength was comparable to that of most centers. As a result, he couldn't stand up to this dwarf who was not drafted!

The angry Malone turned over and shot a jumper, trying to end the offense directly.

But because he was closely pressed by Ben, Malone turned over and took off, and the take-off was not sufficient. So the moment Malone took the shot, he was directly slapped down by Ben!

As soon as the game started, MVP's offense suffered a bloody blow!

Ben relied on his strong body, invincible long arms and excellent jumping to embarrass Ma Long as soon as he came up!

Carlisle could clearly feel that the cheers in the Energy Solutions Arena suddenly weakened.

It is estimated that all the fans in Salt Lake City did not expect that their MVP would overturn the situation as soon as he came on.

Malone was also confused. He originally wanted to give the Lakers a showdown at the beginning, but he didn't know that Big Ben, the undrafted draft pick, made a showdown first!

And after completing the block, Ben even yelled at Malone viciously: "Shay is right, you are just a parallel import. I have never seen such a weak MVP."

Malone:???

It’s not like Shay told me to forget it, you undrafted guy, how dare you disrespect me!?

Billups picked up the ball that was blocked by Ben, and the Lakers' counterattack began immediately.

As a man who likes to practice running with a parachute on his back, Ma Long retreats quickly even though he is 36 years old.

He ran back to the penalty area in a few moments.

But as soon as Malone got into position, he saw Shay rushing in.

Malone was confused again, how could Shay be so fast?

It’s so funny, isn’t Shay a man who runs around with a “little umbrella” on his back at all times?

Shea just ran forward without the ball, and Billups fed the ball directly to the frontcourt, so the advancement speed was very fast.

Before Malone was ready, Shea dribbled into the paint and exploded.

MVP immediately raised his arms, but before he could take off, Shay had already hit him.

So, Shay spread his legs, completely riding on Malone from the front, and scored a dunk with one hand!

The Malone people are all numb. As the MVP, he is actually bleeding + riding and dunking as soon as he comes up!?

Looking at the entire NBA history, there has never been such a miserable MVP!

The cheers in the Energy Solutions Arena are now less than half of what they were at the beginning.

Carlisle smiled. No matter how steep the arena is, it can't stop the Lakers' fierce firepower!

Ma Long's eyes widened, obviously not realizing what happened.

Wait, I am MVP, MVP!

How come in your hands, I seem to have turned into a sandbag!

After dunking on Malone, Shay pointed at him with a smile:

"Is this the MVP? Come on Carl, is this the anger you call MVP? Stop making trouble, my kitten is even more angry than you!

But don't worry Carl, because there's no point worrying.

This is just the beginning of MVP’s night of suffering!”

With blood and dunks, the Lakers plunged the MVP into fear and depression as soon as they came on.

Everyone has not felt the anger of MVP, but the worst MVP has the momentum to be born.

The fans in Salt Lake City swallowed their saliva, Shay, he was really not joking.

This man doesn’t take MVP seriously at all!

The magician who was watching the game smiled, Shay was actually a bit stingy.

Either he comes to get the MVP, or he destroys them all!

Malone thought that after becoming MVP, he would finally be able to counterattack.

But in fact, his MVP status will make him get beaten even worse!

Now, Magic doesn't worry about the outcome of the game at all.

The Jazz don't say anything about eliminating the Lakers.

Thank God if Malone can avoid the worst series of his career!
