NBA Backer King Chapter 517

   On the court, Pharaoh stood at the free throw line again.

When the dunk just now, the postman was turning around, he didn't take off to defend, he blocked the foul for the second time, and made two fouls at the beginning. In order to avoid being targeted, he was replaced by Jerry Sloan. Now the center on the court is Greg Oster. Tag.

   This is the No. 28 pick in the first round in 1995. He is 218 cm and 130 kg. He has no potential and was trained by the Jazz to become a meat shield.

He is big, has some defense under the basket, and has a certain amount of rebounding. Offense is useless, so he plays a second offense under the basket. If it wasn't for Pharaoh and O'Neal to push up the price of meat in the league, it would be impossible to get it. to the first round.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh missed the penalty, and Ostertag, who had just played, protected the backcourt rebounds with his high advantage, and the Jazz attacked.

   The Jazz's two major starting insiders are all off the court, and the offense can only attack from the outside.

   In the next three minutes, the Jazz made one of two shots and made a three-pointer. The 50% hit rate from the outside looked pretty good.

But in turn, Pharaoh controlled the rebounds under the basket, the Lakers got four shots, Pharaoh attacked three times, all of them at the basket, and scored twice. He made a free throw and scored five points. In addition, he also assisted Richmond to hit a two-pointer. The Lakers scored a total of 7 points.

  7:14, the Lakers led by 7 points. In the 6th minute of the first quarter, the Jazz called a timeout.

   "Old K made 5 of 5 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points. He almost swept all the points of the Lakers. Today, he has a very strong desire to attack!" Rollin said in the ESPN live broadcast booth.

   Oldman said: "The Jazz have played two starting insiders one after another, and there are no opponents at the basket. He must strengthen his personal offense.

  The Jazz still suffered in the interior, unable to withstand the attack of the old K, and were beaten by the old K quite embarrassed. In terms of rebounding, the Lakers also dominated. "

  Rollin said: "There is no way, there is old K at the basket, Sabonis is beaten again, the big bug has no advantage in rebounding, the height difference is too much, and he is suppressed by the old K.

   And on the Lakers, Old K made five of five shots. The Jazz didn't have any backcourt rebounds at all, and they couldn't grab Old K's offensive rebounds, so they suffered a loss. "

Oldman analyzed: "If the Jazz want to regain the disadvantage, they have to come back with the Postman and Sabonis. In addition, Sabonis can't be allowed to guard against the old K. The Postman needs to stand up and face the Lakers' strongest point. He is the team leader and The core, must bear the greatest defensive pressure."

   "Yes, I think so too."

Rollin nodded, but said: "But Sabonis can't be pulled out on the defensive end. He doesn't have the mobility and can only sit at the basket, so the Jazz have a hard time, so they can only bite the bullet and continue to let Sabonis defend. Old K."

   The timeout is over, the Postman and Sabonis are back on the court, the big bug is back at the 3rd position, and the Jazz are attacking.

   Sabonis is in the high position, and Pharaoh takes a step to defend.

  Postman pulls to the left flank and Fortson defends.

   At this time, Sabonis suddenly made a pick-and-roll, Stockton took the opportunity to break through, Mark Price was blocked, the pursuit was a step slower, and Pharaoh, who was taking a step to defend, could only switch to Stockton.

"not good!"

  Su Qun shouted anxiously.

   Just as Old K followed Stockton back to the basket, the latter made a back pass and the ball flew to Sabonis in the high post.

   "What's so special!"

  Pharaoh knew it would be like this, but just now he could only choose to switch defenses, and Mark Price was blocked. If he didn't switch defenses, Stockton would directly score a layup.

"brush!"

   Sabonis played Mark Price in a high post, ignoring the defense, stepping his foot, and never leaving the ground, easily hitting a two-pointer.

   "Mark, watch out for pick-and-rolls." Del Harris shouted from the sidelines.

   In the CCTV live broadcast booth, Zhang Lili said: "This is Sabonis' height and the shooting advantage of pulling out, using the pick-and-roll to create high-position dislocation singles for him.

   As long as the Tiejun switches defenses, it is useless for anyone to switch defenses. Sabonis is all dislocated by big and small, and the open shots are accurate and difficult to defend. "

   "Then how to prevent it?" Su Qun asked anxiously.

   Zhang Lili said: "Mark Price should pay attention to preventing the pick-and-roll and keep up with Stockton, but I suggest that it may be better to switch to Stockton with Kobe.

Kobe's defense is better now than last season, but I recommend switching defenses with him, not because of his defense, Stockton doesn't have the ability to finish offense at all, use Kobe to defend him because Kobe is young and can keep up with him. Mark Price couldn't keep up with Stockton. "

  9:14, the Lakers attack.

This time, Pharaoh didn't have a strong position anymore. He had to take a break first. After playing for six minutes in a row, plus the number of fouls and mistakes, there were eight attacks in total. Take a breath.

   However, he is active in the low post, and he can also attract the Jazz's defense. The opponent Sabonis did not dare to relax his attention at all, and stood by his side.

   At this time, the others pulled away, and Mark Price handed the ball to Kobe on the right-wing three-point line, and he singled Hornacek.

Kobe has the Pharaoh's playing skills, and his efficiency in singles on the outside is even higher than Richmond. At the same time, he is also a potential player that the Lakers are optimistic about. Developed some singles tactics.

Now his perimeter playing skills have been known to the whole league. Although his strength is not strong, he also averaged 17 points per game in the regular season, and his offensive efficiency can reach 47%. You must know that Jordan, who is still at his peak, is 48 this season. % hit rate, so no one dared to underestimate him.

   As soon as Kobe got the ball, Hornacek immediately opened a half-step space and didn't give him a chance to hit the ball. He immediately started to push inward, protecting the ball with his left elbow and controlling the ball with his right hand.

   Hornacek took two steps back, not daring to retreat any more, so he could only post it to stop Kobe from continuing to push in.

   At this moment, the postman, who was running with Fordson on the right wing, suddenly lost Fordson and implemented a double-teamed defense against Kobe.

"Oh!"

   Kobe was a sophomore no matter what, and the postman was a superstar no matter what. A supergiant put down his body to double-team a sophomore. It was really surprising, and the arena immediately burst into exclamations.

   Kobe was also caught off guard, but he was unexpectedly double-teamed by a super giant.

"Snapped!"

   Hornacek took the opportunity to steal the ball.

   "Oops, our Peter Pan made a mistake! I thought he would kill the light gun and then dash in and dunk a ball." A live commentator said with some disappointment.

  The Jazz counterattacked after stealing the ball. Stockton received the ball and crossed the half court. After reaching the basket, Mark Price caught up and immediately returned Hornacek.

   Hornacek caught the ball and made an emergency stop and stopped on the left-wing three-point line. Kobe rushed directly over his head and accidentally slipped to the ground under the emergency stop.

"brush!"

   Hornacek glanced at the foot on the line, then took a half step back, and then took off calmly and hit a three-pointer.

   "Mark!"

   Kobe, who was sitting on the floor, patted the floor angrily, got up and asked for the ball at Mark Price behind the baseline.

  Price served quickly, Kobe took the ball, and immediately moved forward quickly.

   At this time, Pharaoh, who had returned to the center line, turned around immediately, and Sabonis, who was running two steps behind, also turned around immediately and blocked him.

   But he turned around with a quick swing, bypassed Sabonis, and rushed to the basket.

"not good."

   When the postman at the back saw it, he hurried back to the defense.

   "Old K."

   Kobe shouted, and the ball in his hand flew to Pharaoh.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh crossed the free throw line, when the ball arrived, he caught the ball with both hands, crossed the free throw line with one step, took a step and then took off.

   The postman catching up behind could only slow down in disappointment, watching Old K fly towards his basket.

"boom!"

   Under the one-handed dunk, the entire backboard was instantly spent, and then turned into countless pieces.

   "Ow!"

  The entire Great Western Forum Arena suddenly boiled like a volcano, including the celebrities in the front row, countless people stood up from their seats, raised their arms, and their shouts were earth-shattering.

   "This is the King of the Lakers! This is Caesar the Conqueror! This is Old K the Block Sweeper! He's ruling the Jazz, he's ruling this era..."

   The roar of the on-site commentator was like thunder, and it lasted for a long time in the sky above the arena.

   "Old K, let's blast them like this!"

   "Old K, great job!"

   "Old K, Jazz needs you to conquer them like this."

Excited Pharaoh strode to the media booth behind the bottom line, grabbed a TV station camera, and was about to say something to the camera, Kobe jumped up from behind, jumped on his back, and then the other teammates. They also rushed to his side and shouted.

"Did you hear that?"

   Old Wang shouted at the camera: "My teammates said that the Jazz needed me to conquer them. I think they are right, what do you think?"

   "Fark Oil!"

   "Shet!"

   "Go to hell, old K."

   For a while, the fans in Salt Lake City were about to explode, because the camera that was grabbed by Pharaoh was the live broadcast of ESPN TV in the United States.

"Ha ha…"

   The Lakers fans who heard it at the scene burst into laughter.

  The game has entered a timeout, which is a trouble for the broadcaster. Stern has a headache again, and thinks he should communicate with the rebounding supplier and ask them to change to a glass manufacturer?

   The 20-minute interruption time is actually a problem for the players on both sides, because they need to keep their bodies warm during this time, and the two teams alternate from time to time to warm up.

   But even so, after the restart of the game, the hand of both sides also declined, and the state was not as good as before.

  Especially the Jazz, who were hit by Pharaoh today. After the game resumed, the state was a little worse than the Lakers.

Moreover, the Jazz rely more on shooting than the Lakers, including the Postman and Sabonis. They are also mainly shooting. Although Sabonis has height, his movement is too slow, and it is difficult to play high-quality baskets under the defense of Pharaoh. offense, so the Jazz are more affected.

   On the Lakers side, because Pharaoh continued to spare no effort to strengthen the basket attack to maintain high efficiency, in the first half, he led his team to establish a 15-point score advantage.

   In the third quarter, Sabonis was knocked over again by the brutal back arch of Pharaoh Yiji, the old knee injury recurred, he was injured and he was off the court, and then never came up again.

   Lost the high point of the roof of the world. The Jazz, who were far behind, could no longer resist the Lakers' attack. They lost to the end, 92:109, and lost the G1 battle.

   Wang played the first 44 minutes, made 20 of 27 shots, 74% from the field, 8 of 14 penalties, and scored 48 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls.

  Richmond played 36 minutes, scored 15 points and shot 43.1%, a little lower efficiency than the regular season.

   Kobe played 35 minutes, scored 13 points and shot 46.5%, a little lower than the regular season.

  Chris Mullin and Rick Fox each scored 11 and 13 points from the bench, contributing a lot.

As for the Jazz, the Postman played for 45 minutes. He could be considered to blow up Danny Fortson and Hill, and he made a lot of shots. He made 12 of 25 shots, and the shooting rate was 48%, which was slightly higher than his normal playoff level. He made 4 of 6 free throws and scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.

   Sabonis played only 16 minutes on and off today, made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

   Hornacek is also old, playing for 31 minutes, in average form, shooting 37.5%, and scoring only 12 points even with penalties.

   This game, beyond the expectations of almost everyone, including the media.

  ESPN gave the chance of winning the championship. The Lakers and the Jazz were only one percentage point apart, but the result was that the Jazz lost their temper.

   Before the game was over, Zhang Heli sighed: "Sabonis, the person who forced the Dream Team to come to the Olympic Games was tossed by the Iron Army. For an outstanding athlete, injuries are the biggest killer."

Su Qun didn't feel so much about Sabonis and asked: "Guo Zhang, I thought it was a close opponent, but the Jazz's performance in this game can't be called a close match. What do you think is the reason why the Jazz failed to play a match to the fans? Expected performance?"

   Zhang Lili said while thinking: "From the very beginning, the Iron Army will target Sabonis, and if he is defeated, Jazz will have one less strong point on the offensive end and one less anti-aircraft battery.

   You must know that no one except the Tiejun can defend this high artillery fort, so let him stay on the court all the time, which is a great threat to the Tiejun to the Lakers.

  Tie Jun was able to give the team a big lead by hitting him constantly. On the court, he was a vital goal of the Jazz. He moved slowly and was easily targeted.

Pulling him to a high position will make it difficult for the Lakers to guard. No one can guard him except the Tiejun, but on the other hand, he himself is the same on the defensive end. He can only guard against the Tiejun and cannot guard against other Lakers. This is a pro and a con.

   It can be said that his existence not only restrains the Lakers, but also restrains the Jazz, a double-edged sword. I think it might be better if the Jazz let him go and have the Postman and Worm partner. "

  Suqun nodded and said, "When he is off the court, he is the partner of the postman and the big bug. The effect is indeed better. The big bug's defense ability is very strong."

Zhang Lili also nodded and smiled: "But there are advantages and disadvantages. After he is off the court, the Jazz will lose their height. But on the defensive end, the Jazz will not be targeted by the Iron Army. They will be more proactive. Sabonis is on the court, the Jazz The post defense is too passive.

   But Xiaosu, you are right, Big Bug's defense speed is faster than that of the postman, and he has better defense awareness. If he implements weak side defense, he will be more threatening than the postman.

   And the iron army is defended by the postman, and the efficiency is definitely better than Sabonis. In addition to the weak side of the big bug, the iron army should be careful. "

   As soon as the game ended, reporters flocked to the players of the Lakers and Jazz, but the Jazz refused the on-site interview and left the stadium immediately. On the Lakers side, Pharaoh accepted the interview on behalf of the team.

   "Old K, you suddenly changed your style of play, did you make a plan in advance?" a reporter asked.

"certainly."

"why?"

   "Isn't it a matter of course to attack with the most effective, targeted and most feared attack method?"

   "Sabonis has a recurring knee injury. How will this affect the series?" a reporter asked.

   "If he doesn't come back, there will be a change in the series and we'll start over with the Jazz," he replied cautiously.

   It's not that he has no confidence, but that without Sabonis, the Jazz's tactics will definitely have new changes. The combination of Postman + Big Bug is still quite strong, so you need to be careful.

   If the Bulls had one more postman on the inside last year, whether the Suns could still win the finals is a bad thing.

   "Do you think it is correct for the Jazz to introduce Sabonis? Judging from today's game, it seems difficult for him to help the Jazz." The reporter asked.

   After thinking about it, Pharaoh said: "There are pros and cons, Sabonis can't play too much, move slowly, and the defense can't keep up, which limits the Jazz's tactical play.

   He can still play in the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially in the second round, in the melee stage, Sabonis will become a burden for the Jazz and become my focus. And even if he is not injured, he can only play for a while, averaging more than 20 minutes per game, which makes the Jazz's tactics unable to maintain continuity. "

   "What kind of obstacles do you think the Jazz will pose to the Lakers in the next series?" The reporter asked again.

"They can win us two games in the regular season, but it doesn't mean that they can win us two games in the playoffs. We will do everything in our power to completely destroy them in the shortest number of games." A cruel smile flashed on Pharaoh's face. .

   After the post-match interview, Pharaoh and Lightning greeted them, and then returned to the locker room with his teammates.
