Chapter 492 The shock of the super giants
New York, the game between the Knicks and the Celtics started at 8:30. In the home team locker room, Jordan switched the channel to TNT from 8:00.
“what?”
At this time, he was starting the game. He was about to leave the locker room with his teammates, but he was shocked when he saw this low-position attack by Old K.
He can dodge layers of defenders in the air to complete such an attack, but he did not expect that Old K could complete such an attack.
“…”
Behind him, O’Neal saw it too, his eyes were about to fall out.
What surprised him was not the bottom-slip action of old K. Now that he has lost weight, he has regained his previous flexibility. He can turn even faster and more flexible than old K. His signature move, the shark turn, dominates the entire league.
He was surprised by the action of old K after meeting the postman, dribbling and turning around, transferring from the front and rear double teams, and completely getting rid of the two defenders.
This move, he is not able to make it, he does not have such good ball-handling skills and the ability to combine man and ball, and he does not have that kind of pace.
After his shark turns around, he can shake the defender, and he can go in for a dunk. If he doesn’t shake, he can only end the offense with a hook or a throw, and he has no further ability to face the defender and get to the basket.
“I bet that old K can’t do this second time.” He roared with some grief and indignation.
Jordan nodded thoughtfully. He didn’t quite believe that a heavy center could really master this kind of action that could only be done from the outside. The dream could be accomplished in the peak period, but it seems that he can’t do it now.
“Unfortunately, I could do it before, but I can’t do it now.”
Portland, the home court of the Trail Blazers, the Rose Garden, the starter was about to play, and the big dream who was about to leave the locker room saw Pharaoh’s attack and said with a shocked expression:
“That guy, old K, how did he practice this kind of pace? Could it be that he walks on those wooden stakes every day to practice this?”
He really wanted to make a phone call to Mr. K now and ask about the situation.
Beside him, Duncan stared at the TV, shock in his eyes.
He doesn’t have such a low post pace, is this a move that a center can play? The first person in active duty, the super beast old K, is really scary!
Da Meng suddenly turned around and said to Duncan: “Tim, now you know why the Lakers are willing to pack us and trade old K?”
Duncan clenched his fists, nodded and said, “He’s great, but I’m not bad either.”
Da Meng nodded, Duncan was not bad, he was very strong.
However, he took another look at the TV and saw that Old K has made progress again. This guy is never finished. Where is his peak?
…
“Oh oh oh…”
In front of the bench, Danny Fortson, with his dreadlocks like a beast, was roaring excitedly at the court, with boundless enthusiasm and energy.
“Old K, if you don’t teach me the Plum Blossom Step, I’ll turn my face with you!” Kobe next to him waving a white towel while roaring at Pharaoh who ran over.
Pharaoh ignored Kobe, because he couldn’t hear it at all, the Great Western Forum Arena was hot, and countless fans kept cheering and shouting.
Jazz attack.
The Postman catches the ball on the right wing and singles out Tyron Hill.
His tonnage is as high as 130 kilograms, Hill is 110 kilograms, the confrontation between the two is no suspense, and the latter is crushed.
However, the postman’s offensive habit has been developed. In the face of Hill, whose tonnage is seriously inferior to his own, he still uses his elbows to clear the way. After gaining space to shoot, he hits a mid-range shot.
At this time, you can see the importance and power of Sabonis.
Sabonis has a tonnage of 127 kilograms, and a height of 221 cm. He has a lot of experience, and he gets into position in a timely manner, blocking the basket like a mountain, blocking the old Wang who wants to help defend in the past, and the old Wang can only watch. The postman singled out Hill and couldn’t help defend in time. When he got around, it was already a beat too late.
2:4, the Lakers attack.
“brush!”
In a single with the ball, Richmond hit a three-pointer on Hornacek’s head to make the score 2:7.
“This attack is actually unreasonable. It should be given to the Tiejun first, and he should attract defenses in the low post, and then get an open position on the outside before shooting. There is no need to force the shot against the defender.” Zhang Lili said.
Next, the Jazz seized the weakness that Teilon Hill could not defend the postman, and the postman attacked.
Sabonis tried his best to delay Pharaoh’s weak-side assist defense. With the postman’s offensive ability, he only needed one second to delay the postman’s attack.
“boom!”
The postman made another mid-range shot and the ball hit the basket.
“Good luck!” Su Qun shook his head.
“The Lakers are going to make substitutions. Teilon Hill is not strong enough and the defense is not strong enough to withstand the Postman’s elbow. This is too passive, and the No. 4 position will be overwhelmed.” Zhang Lili said.
“But there is no one to replace the Lakers inside, except for the two marginal players who are incompetent, who are the 10th pick in the first round.” Su Qun said.
4:7, the Lakers attack.
“Hoo!”
Putting down a three-threat, Richmond faked a real shot, and was overtaken by Hornacek. There was a postman in front of him. He forced a mid-throw shot and was almost blocked. The ball was short and he made a three-point shot , out of the bottom line.
“Look, I said it’s unreasonable. You hand it over to the Tiejun first. If the Tiejun compresses the opponent’s defense below, you will have more room to shoot, so it’s reasonable to fight.” Zhang Lili said anxiously.
Jazz attacked, or seized the strong point of the postman and continued to attack.
The Postman catches the ball, elbows Hill away, and makes a mid-range shot.
“brush!”
The water splashed and two points hit.
“The CIC King is the CIC King. When Old K couldn’t help defend in time, the postman made three of three shots.” Albert exclaimed in the TNT live broadcast booth.
“6:7, the Lakers are only one point ahead.”
Harlan said: “The Jazz cooperate quite well, but the Lakers don’t have much cooperation. Old K and Richmond are the Lakers’ internal and external dual cores, but the two don’t cooperate much, and they each fight their own way.”
“Once again, Richmond passed the ball to Old K just now. But it is understandable, after all, they all just played together.” Albert said.
Harlan laughed: “Richmond has always been the core of the King, and his tactics are completely dominated by him. He also has the ability to attack with the ball, so his style of play is very free. Now coming to the old K’s side, it takes time to adapt. New tactics, new tactical position, he needs to make changes.”
“Yes, he is no longer the first tactical choice, nor is he the leader of the team and the core of the field.” Albert nodded.
“Give the ball in first and start from the low post.” Del Harris roared loudly on the sidelines.
The Lakers attacked, and this time Mark Price gave the ball to Chris Mullin on the left wing first.
Mullin hadn’t shot yet, but he was in no hurry. Seeing the old K below asking for the ball, he passed it in steadily, and then started to move his position on the three-point line, continuing to attract Jazz small forward Russell. , to prevent it from double-teaming the old K.
The left wing is low, the left elbow is stuck, and the old K catches the ball with the right hand. At the same time, his line of sight has already seen the right-wing postman is rushing.
But this time, he found that the postman’s help defense was a little slower. If he attacked the basket, he happened to meet the postman’s supplementary defense, so he immediately waved his hand and the ball flew to Teilon Hill, who was emptied on the right flank.
When the postman who had just arrived at the basket saw it, he hurriedly turned back to defend Hill.
Sabonis also hurried to the basket, ready to protect the backcourt rebound.
And Pharaoh also followed into the basket, ready to grab an offensive rebound, but was blocked by Sabonis.
“boom!”
Before the postman returned to defense, Hill made a jumper with more power, the ball was a little longer, the ball hit the basket and bounced to the left side of the basket.
Sabonis was about to take off to grab a rebound, but a giant beast in the back had already jumped up for a moment, and the next moment, he just jumped up and was knocked over by a huge force.
“boom!”
With the loud noise of the basket, Wang Tiejun succeeded in making a dunk across Sabonis and knocked him over.
“ah!”
The audience burst into cheers.
“This is a duel of monsters! Sabonis is also a monster. His tonnage is as high as 127 kilograms, but he is now at the feet of the monster bomber.”
The on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
“ah!”
Pharaoh himself raised his fist in excitement.
6:9, Jazz attacked.
The postman hit three in a row, but this time he didn’t actively ask for the ball.
Stockton and Sabonis did the pick-and-roll in the high post, pulling the old king to the high post, and then the former smashed the ball to the basket.
Sabonis’ huge body made a high-quality pick-and-roll and blocked Mark Price. Pharaoh could only choose to switch defenses and follow Stockton back to the basket.
At this time, Stockton passed the ball and passed it back to Sabonis in a high position. The latter played Mark Price in a dislocation. There was no suspense at all.
“brush!”
Splashes appeared, and he hit a high mid-range shot.
8:9, the Lakers attack.
“Sabonis is well-deserved and fully integrated into the Jazz’s tactical system. Compared with the Jazz, the Lakers still need a lot of running-in time. The current Lakers can’t talk about tactics. Analysis Road.
On the sidelines, Del Harris was shouting: “Pull away, get in, move the perimeter.”
Chris Mullin received the ball, gave it to Pharaoh below, and ran to the bottom left corner.
“Boom…”
When Pharaoh caught the ball, he saw that the Postman didn’t immediately defend the weak side. It seemed that the Jazz made up their minds and wanted to surround him with a narrower basket, so he started to dribble the ball and made a back to Sabonis. situation.
At this time, small forward Russell, who followed Mullin to the bottom line, suddenly started double-teaming and pounced on Pharaoh, who was a step away.
“Be careful!”
Mullin hurriedly shouted.
“boom!”
But at this moment, the ball was pulled up from the floor, Pharaoh immediately pushed it, and the ball bounced off Russell’s feet and bounced to the bottom left corner.
Mullin caught the ball with both hands, made a jumper, and with a flick of his left hand, the ball flew to the basket.
“brush!”
The crisp sound of brushing the basket sounded, and the three-pointer was in.
“Papapa…” There was a warm applause from the arena.
“Beautiful! As expected of God’s left hand, he received the pass from Old K. He accurately hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and at the same time provided Old K with an assist.”
The roar of the on-site commentator immediately rang out.
8:12, Jazz attacked.
“Mark Price, Chris Mullin, Richmond, these are all very good three-pointers from the outside. The Lakers have these three three-pointers, and the ability to pull off is extremely powerful. If the Jazz’s outside line dares to throw them away With the old K, I think the Jazz will pay a heavy price for the assist ability of the old K.” Albert said.
Harlan nodded and said, “So the Jazz should still focus on assisting on the weak side. Teilon Hill has no long-range shooting ability and average mid-range shooting. The Postman has a very good chance of assisting defense.”
“boom!”
The postman shot again, but this time he missed.
“Snapped!”
Pharaoh protected the backcourt rebound and passed it to Mark Price.
Zhang Reasonably analyzed: “The Lakers’ perimeter Richmond, Chris Mullin, and Mark Price can all be said to be veterans. Even Richmond is not as fast as before. The Lakers play fast. Attack ability is a little weak.
Fortunately, the Jazz’s fast break ability is also average, Hornacek and Stockton are not too young, and the speed of small forward Russell is also average. ”
Su Qun said with a smile: “You should train young people as soon as possible, and slowly replace these three veterans. The veterans are more suitable for the bench lineup.”
Zhang Lili nodded and said, “Kobe, Fisher, although they are not good at speed, they are not slow either.”
At this time, Pharaoh came to the left waist, with one foot in the paint area, observing the situation on the outside, seeing that Stockton was a little far away from Mark Price, he suddenly took a step back and left the paint area, and at the same time make the action of asking for the ball to the top of the arc.
This is the retreat of the plum blossom step, getting rid of the defender and shifting the attacking direction.
But at the next moment, when Sabonis followed, he suddenly started to sprint, and he shot forward, like a stabbing steel gun, instantly dashed forward and plunged into the paint area.
Between this retreat, the rhythm of advancing and retreating was extremely fast, the foot was full of explosive power, and the movement was very sudden, making the defender unable to react at all.
“what?”
Sabonis didn’t react at all. When he reacted, the old K in front of him had already rushed over from his right side.
“Whoosh!”
Two steps away from the top of the arc, the experienced Mark Price was ready when Pharaoh asked for the ball for the first time. Seeing Lao K cut in, he immediately passed the ball in.
“boom!”
The next thing is simple, Pharaoh catches the ball with one hand in the air, smashes the trend, and blasts the Jazz’s basket.
“what!”
The audience burst into cheers.
“Clap clap clap…”
West, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a bunch of Hollywood stars, celebrities, got up from their seats and applauded for the air call.
“Oh hoo, all-around dunks! Gorgeous performances from Mark Price and K.”
“Old K has completed three dunks, and his performance has started in Los Angeles. From now on, an irresistible beast will begin his showtime.”
The two on-site narrators said one sentence to the other, roaring constantly.
This is the Jazz serve, and a timeout is called.
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Albert calmly analyzed: “We can now confirm that Old K’s low-post pace has indeed improved a lot. Between the retreat and the advance just now, he completely got rid of Sabonis’ defense. The ability to get away, let him ignore the Jazz’s defense.”
“Mark Price’s pass is also good, very timely.” Harlan laughed.
“Although he is old, he still has experience. Four All-Star substitutes, one best first team, three best third team teams, don’t underestimate him.” Albert laughed.
Harlan said: “At 8:14, from this opening, the Jazz with a fully mature tactical system are already 6 points behind.
Groom, the Lakers belong to a complete rebuild, including the tactical system, but why are the Jazz falling behind? ”
Albert analyzed: “The Jazz made four of six, the Postman made three of four, Sabonis made one of one, and Hornacek made zero.
The Lakers were 6-of-8 from the field and 2-of-2 from 3-pointers. Among them, Old K made 4 of 4, Chris Mullin made 1 of 1, Richmond made 1 of 2, and Hill made 0 of 1.
Old K grabbed two backcourt rebounds and one offensive rebound, which is also all the rebounds of the Lakers. As for the Jazz, no, there are only three rebounds in total, all of which were robbed by old K alone.
And that’s why the Jazz fell behind. The Lakers took two more shots and then converted them into points. One in and one out, the Jazz trailed by six points. ”
Harlan said: “That is to say, from the perspective of tactics and on-the-spot performance, the Jazz is not a failure, because the Lakers have not defended the Jazz’s offense, but the rebounding ability is not as good as the Lakers.”
Albert said with a smile: “The time is still short, and the Jazz still have a chance to recover. But in terms of rebounding, the Lakers do have an advantage.
Especially Old K, his height, his confrontation ability, his positioning skills, and his moving speed give him a great advantage in rebounding.
Running fast is not as high as him, he is not as good as him, and he can’t get stuck in position. With his height, there are also confrontations, not as fast as his.
Like the finals between the Bulls and the Suns, the big bug always can’t beat the old K, and this is the reason. “
