Chapter 519 Postman, hold my thigh or go east
These two games were beyond the expectations of the media, and they were regarded as two upsets.
On the second day, the media collectively criticized the Blazers and the Knicks. Big Dream, Momo, Ryder, O’Neal, Jordan and others became the focus of the media attack. Duncan, who played steadily, and Gary Payton and Hawking who played well. Sri Lanka and others have been praised by the media.
No. 6, Lakers vs. Jazz, Pacers vs. Heat, the G2 battle begins.
Sir: Karl Malone, Dansny Rodman, Brian Russell, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton
Lakers: Wang Tiejun, Danny Fortson, Richmond, Kobe, Mark Price
In the CCTV live booth, Zhang Lili analyzed: “The Jazz really changed, Sabonis left the main lineup, so that their defense will be more flexible, the Lakers should be more careful.”
Suqun said: “Sabonis is an old injury. It is said that it is not very serious. It should not be so bad that he cannot play the G2 game, and he is not on the injured list. He may play as a substitute today.”
nodded, Lao Zhang said: “Yesterday, the Trail Blazers and the Knicks both lost, and the second round was really exciting. Today, the Lakers have to be careful not to overturn the boat like them.”
Suqun laughed: “Yesterday, the Supersonics and the green team really played well, and it’s a matter of course to win.”
At this time, Lao Zhang looked at the screen and said, “Look, the bench is starting to heat up, and Sabonis is among them. He should still be able to play.”
On ESPN’s live broadcast, Winston Rollin said: “The Jazz used the Postman and the Big Bug as the inside combination, and the speed of help defense has accelerated, which should limit the old K’s basket attack and low post efficiency.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that Da Woong’s assist defense will definitely be able to guard against Old King. Last year, he also helped to defend Old King in the Bulls, and the Bulls still lost.
But it is different with the postman. The postman should be able to hold the back arch of the old K, at least to delay the offensive rhythm of the old K, and win the opportunity for the big insect to help the defense. ”
Carter Oldman laughed: “The Postman is much stronger than Sabonis, and there are no major injuries now. I think the old K will change his style of play again, because he should have no way to destroy the Postman’s body like Sabonis. He’ll return to his regular-season agility, with some lower offense efficiency, but less energy.”
Luo Lin thought for a while, then nodded and said, “It’s possible. Flexible play, faster attack rhythm, and better defense against Big Bugs.”
At eight o’clock, the game starts.
Wang Tiejun and Postman jumped the ball, the former touched the ball first, but bad luck, the ball was snatched by Stockton, and the Jazz took the lead.
Big Bug didn’t stay at the basket. According to Jerry Sloan’s request, he left the paint area, went to the right wing, and tried to bring Pharaoh out of the paint area.
He has a certain shooting ability, but he lacks the desire to attack. If you really want to let him empty, it is not impossible to shoot.
The postman pulled to the left wing, one step away from the paint area, two points in the middle, and Fortson followed.
Jerry Sloan asked Big Bug to leave the paint area, not for Big Bug’s offense, Big Bug didn’t want to attack at all, he just hoped to use Big Bug to pull Pharaoh out, prevent Old Wang from wrapping the postman, and create a chance for the postman to single against Fortson.
Now the postman is five meters away from Pharaoh, where he catches the ball and attacks, Pharaoh is also very difficult to double-team unless he moves in advance.
“brush!”
The Postman catches the ball and singles Fortson, even if he is facing a rookie, he will use his elbow to open the way first, and then he will make a shot after getting enough space to shoot, and hit a mid-range shot.
He is considered to be the person who can put down the most face among all the super giants. In order to win, he can use any means.
Lakers offense.
Pharaoh enters the basket.
He has to use his height to dislocate the postman under the basket.
The postman has no other way. He can’t go around the front. He has no height and the side defense is useless.
When the ball came in and was still flying in the sky, the Postman started to defend with all his strength, delaying Old K’s offense, and creating opportunities for Big Worm to help defend the basket.
His upper body strength is even stronger than that of Lao Wang, and the huge tonnage that is only 5 kilograms behind Lao Wang makes his top defense achieve a good effect. Because Lao Wang wants to catch the ball, the lower plate is unstable and he is pushed up. .
At this time, Big Worm’s hand was already a foot away, and it was about to reach Pharaoh’s body. He suddenly jumped forward with the strength of the postman’s top defense and took a step back.
With the help of the withdrawal method of the plum blossom step, after catching the ball, it has turned from the back basket to the face basket when landing, and also escaped the double-team.
The next moment, he grabs the ball with his left hand, and his right elbow is stuck in the worm’s place.
“not good!”
The postman suffered a lot in the regular season. Knowing that the old K would block him the next moment, he quickly took a step forward, trying to stand in the defensive position in advance and block the old K.
But after half a step, Pharaoh jumped up abruptly. The moment he got up, he collided with the postman, but he had the advantage of getting up and had the advantage of impact force. He took a big step back before standing still.
“Di!”
The referee’s whistle sounded.
This collision interrupted Wang Tiejun’s momentum to get up, and at the same time let Da Zong seize the opportunity, wrapping his right arm with both hands, and pulling down, pulling him down.
His reaction was still very fast. When he was pulled down, he threw the ball to the basket, which was barely a shot. Although he didn’t score, he still got a free throw opportunity.
The referee signaled that the big worm pulled a foul and made two free throws.
“The referee showed mercy to the Jazz, but he actually gave it to Big Bug instead of the postman. This is obviously because the postman blocked the foul first.” Zhang Lili laughed.
Pharaoh missed the next two free throws, and the Jazz attacked.
“The free throw feels a bit bad!” Su Qun frowned.
“If you can’t get in, you have to be careful of the jazz slashing people.” Old Zhang also said.
At this time, the Postman pulled up to a high position and played pick-and-roll tactics with Stockton, but Fordson followed.
But Del Harris arranged for Bryant to switch to Stockton today. Bryant’s response was fast, his feet were not slow, and he kept up with Stockton. After the latter entered the paint area, he chose to return the postman.
“Snapped!”
The postman pushed Fordson back with an elbow. As soon as he shot, Pharaoh arrived and grabbed his ball directly from the sky.
“Oh hoo!”
The Great Western Forum Arena resounded with cheers from Lakers fans.
“Damn!”
The postman immediately stepped forward to grab the ball.
“Go away!”
The old elbows that fit the ball on his chest swept across the postman’s forehead, causing him to snort in pain and take a step back.
The referee saw it and didn’t blow the whistle.
The Postman has a super-giant star whistle in front of everyone else, but in front of Old K, it’s just the opposite.
“Old K.” At this time, Kobe shouted loudly in the frontcourt.
Pharaoh saw that Kobe almost ran to the basket and hurriedly threw it with one hand. The basketball flew straight towards Kobe like a shooting star.
Kobe catches the ball for a two-step layup and hits one.
2:2, Jazz attacked.
This time, the postman did not go to the high post to do the pick-and-roll, where it was a little closer to the old K, and he went to the left wing.
The big bug is in the low position on the right flank, and the old K’s position is close to the right flank, he will be safer on the left flank.
Sure enough, this time he and small forward Russell played a pick-and-roll, dislocated singles against Richmond, Pharaoh couldn’t come to help in time and hit a ball with precision.
4:2, the Lakers attacked.
Pharaoh ran straight down from the free throw line with the postman on top. He turned around and asked for the ball with his back to the postman at the next step of the free throw line.
Big Bug placed Danny Fortson for two meters, just above the right line of the paint area, and he can complete the double-team by coming over at any time.
At the top of the arc, Stockton defended Mark Price and pressed a lot to prevent him from passing the ball below easily.
Price guards the ball very carefully, and the guy on the opposite side has a lot of dirty little moves, and he is very careful.
Seeing that Old K wanted the ball, he hurriedly shook Stockton with a fake before passing the ball to Old K.
At this moment, the big worm pounced on Pharaoh, who was one step away. The postman behind Pharaoh tried his best to defend, and even grabbed his jersey in secret, preventing him from making any moves.
“Snapped!”
Pharaoh felt that he was being held behind him, and the big bug came to his side. When the ball arrived, the right hand that received the ball slapped the ball, and the ball flew from the top of the big bug’s head to behind him.
“Pass!?”
Big Worm was startled, and quickly turned around to defend Fortson, who was let go by him.
However, Pharaoh’s passing target was not Fordson, because before he caught the ball, he had noticed that Kobe was using Fortson as a wall, getting rid of Hornacek, and was implementing an empty cut. He was passing the ball to Kobe.
So as soon as the big bug turned around, Kobe just received the pass, passed him, and took the ball from the underside of him and scored into the paint area.
“boom!”
Kobe was on the right line of the paint area, took off directly next to the big bug, and after flying for a distance, he slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.
The postman turned around and rushed to the basket. He was already half a beat late. When he got back to the defense and was about to get up to block the shot, Kobe just hit the ball and banged his basket.
“yeah!”
The audience suddenly burst into cheers.
“Beautiful! Peter Pan played a wonderful air cut tactic, and he completed a wonderful flying dunk!” The live commentator roared excitedly.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: “Kobe is not only in the team, but also often trains with Tiejun in his spare time. The cooperation between the two is quite tacit.”
Su Qun said with a smile: “Old K didn’t play directly at the basket, but at the next step of the free throw line. It should be to play empty cut tactics.”
Zhang Lili nodded and said, “Yes, it leaves room for the empty cut teammates to cut into the basket.”
4:4, Jazz attacked.
Stockton took the ball to the left wing, and the Postman suddenly ran out from the low post to do a pick-and-roll. It was too late for Fordson, so Pharaoh had to follow him out.
At this time, Stockton used the pick-and-roll to break through with the ball and entered the paint area. He was double-teamed by Kobe and Fordson and could only give the ball to the big bug.
But the worm who was in the open position did not shoot after catching the ball. Instead, he took the ball and turned around, looking for a teammate to catch the ball.
Hornacek hurriedly ran down from the right-wing three-point line to catch the ball, Richmond chased beside him, and after catching the ball, he forced a shot, but missed, Fordson protected the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers attacked.
“Dennis, why didn’t you take action just now?” the postman asked loudly while returning to defense.
Big Worm gave the postman a sidelong glance, and said indifferently, “I only like rebounding, not scoring.”
“you?”
The postman was sullen and had nothing to say.
“Ha ha…”
Lao Wang, who was running forward next to him, laughed.
Arrived in the frontcourt, and he took the ball at the next step of the free throw line.
On the left and right flanks, Richmond and Kobe made inward cuts at the same time, distracting the Jazz’s defensive attention.
In this way, Pharaoh successfully received the ball, and with a fierce back arch, the postman took a small step back, and the big worm rushed to his side.
If there is no K-law, Pharaoh can definitely knock over the big bug with a sideways hit, but it is impossible now.
One turned to the right, avoiding Big Bug’s action of grabbing the ball, but the postman was on the bottom again, and at this moment, he suddenly made a plum blossom step. Between dribbling, he took the initiative to walk away from the postman and Big Bug. evacuate.
This step puts him closer to the free throw line and farther from the rim.
The next moment, the postman and the big bug rushed up at the same time.
But at the moment when the two started, he had already grabbed the ball, held it high at the top, and made a ferocious stride, rushing directly to the gap between the postman and the big bug.
His step was faster than the one the two of them grabbed.
Faster means more initiative and impact.
At this moment, he chose to hedge, to forcibly kill the blockade of the two to complete a face-to-basket attack.
At this moment, all the Lakers fans in the audience were tense.
“not good!”
The postman and the big bug had a sudden shock in their hearts at the same time, and wanted to close the door and block it, but they couldn’t take it back after taking one step.
“Boom!”
The three of them took one step at a time. Under the faster and more ferocious strides, Old Wang landed his right foot first and slammed into the middle of the two of them. The two of them swayed outward at the same time, and he was like a fierce escape. Like a beast, he took the second step, and then his body became violent.
“boom!”
Under the one-handed dunk, the basket was smashed.
“ah!”
Lakers fans stood up in an instant, raising their arms and shouting wildly.
“ah!”
Old Wang excitedly threw his fists and roared.
Turning around and looking down, the postman was staring at him unwillingly, and the big bug had already been knocked over to the floor by him, he opened his mouth and shouted: “Postman, I said, you have no chance in the west, or come and hug my thigh , or go to the east and hug someone’s thigh.”
“Wait and see!”
The postman said angrily, turning his waist and pulling the worm.
The big bug got up and twisted his waist, obviously he was injured just now.
He was hit on the right side of the body, with a ferocious spinning force, and sprained his waist when he fell to the ground.
Then he was replaced and Sabonis came on.
“Avidas, if the old K hits you hard and doesn’t guard against the shot, you retreat to the basket and double-team him with the postman.” Jerry Sloan warned before playing.
Seeing Sabonis on the court, Pharaoh immediately changed his style of play, returned to the low position, started to play hard, and used the strongest confrontation to knock Sabonis down.
The left wing is low and needs the ball.
Mark Price pulled to the left wing and used Richmond’s screen to pass the ball smoothly.
Pharaoh caught the ball and took two small steps inward. Sabonis also immediately took two small steps back. He immediately understood the defender’s plan.
At this time, he can actually shoot easily. With his shooting speed, Sabonis can’t defend, but he does not plan to add nearly two points to the offense.
In the playoffs, according to his habit and plan, it is to increase the offense at the rim, rather than increase the nearly two-point offense with a lower shooting percentage.
stepped into the paint area one step, and the three-second timer started. He didn’t delay. After understanding the opponent’s plan, he suddenly turned around and slipped and forced Sabonis to the basket.
The next moment, when the basketball bounced off the floor, he was caught in his hand, he took a step forward, held the ball high in his left hand, and jumped up at Sabonis.
“Strong buckle!”
When the on-site commentator saw it, he immediately shouted.
At this moment, the eyes of the Lakers fans in the audience widened.
At this moment, Sabonis’ nerves were tense, and his whole body was tense, and he immediately squatted down and took off to block.
At this moment, the returning postman was blocked by Sabonis who was retreating quickly, and he didn’t even see what Pharaoh was doing.
The next moment, Wang Tiejun’s huge body swooped down, more than a head higher than the defender, and his right forearm pressed down on Sabonis’ shoulder below, and a strong diving impact occurred instantly.
“Boom!”
From top to bottom, with endless diving power, Wang Tiejun directly hit Sabonis in the air and flipped backwards.
“boom!”
In the next instant, under the reaction force, his body froze in the air, and the basket was exploded under the smashing of one arm.
“ah!”
The Great Western Forum Arena, the entire Los Angeles, Fengshen Street on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and the entire land of China, countless fans cheered instantly.
“Yeah ah…”
A live commentator waving his fist excitedly and screaming.
Another on-site commentator immediately roared: “Dunk! Old K dunked Sabonis from the front. He directly overturned the two major insiders of the Jazz. He is destroying the Jazz in the most brutal way!”
Sabonis knocked over the postman behind him, and his teammates were at the bottom, but fortunately he was not injured.
He couldn’t jump at all, that is, he jumped at most ten centimeters, he was pinned by one of Pharaoh’s arms, and then knocked over. If he jumped higher, he was more likely to be injured.
But he wasn’t injured, so the postman was a little unlucky. When he was at the bottom, the weight added up to more than 500 pounds. It was not fun to fall on the floor.
The three Jazz players ran over to pull Sabonis up, and the postman, who had been holding his breath, breathed a sigh of relief.
Jerry Sloan jumped in a hurry. If the postman was injured, the Jazz would be the dead son of a widow, and there was absolutely no hope.
He called a timeout and asked the postman to come off to check on his body and take a break.
