Vol 3 Chapter 575: Jerry Sloan's Trap

May 6, 1996, Los Angeles, Great Western Forum Arena.

The Los Angeles Lakers ushered in the first game of the second round of the playoffs at home.

At home against the powerful Utah Jazz.

Because of Lin Han's relationship, the relationship between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz is a bit of a rival.

However, such an enemy is not like an ordinary enemy.

Most ordinary foes are fans who support each other and hate each other.

But the Jazz and the Lakers.

It's just that the players have propped up their hatred with the opponent.

The relationship between Ma Long and Lin Han is confusing.

Lin Han's attitude towards Ma Long is ambiguous.

Ma Long's attitude towards Lin Han is straightforward.

It's like a fist hitting on cotton made of steel wire. What kind of feeling is it? Only Malone who hits his fist knows.

After Lin Han came to the Lakers, he took the Lakers to win the miracle last season.

Now the Lakers' home stadium at the Great Western Forum is definitely one of the league's most enthusiastic homes.

Before the game started, the Lakers fans were already shouting Lin Han's name and boasting Malone Stockton.

Before the game, shouting Lin Han's name, singing for Lin Han, this is a regular project for the Lakers fans.

But boasting Malone, this is not a fixed project.

Lakers fans are different from fans of other teams.

For example, to compare with Celtic fans.

The Lakers and Celtics are the two giants of NBA.

But the style of the fans of the two teams is completely different.

The Celtics give people a sense of blood in their bones, the team is blooded, the fans are blooded, and they emphasize the mental strength.

The Lakers emphasize elegance.

This is related to the founders of the Celtics and the Lakers.

It was the Cardinal who laid the Celtic style and foundation.

It was the magician who laid the Lakers style and foundation.

The cardinal is playing with blood and spiritual strength.

And the magician is playing with elegance.

So, at the home of the Celtics, you will often hear their opponents of the Hodgers.

But at the Lakers' home, like now, it is not so easy for all fans to boo one person and two people.

Perhaps it is easier to send applause to the other party.

From another perspective, being able to be booed by the Lakers fans in Los Angeles, Malone and Stockton are also the pinnacle of life.

"Thanks to Malone and Stockton for sending Lin Han to the Lakers, they should enjoy our booing celebration"

"Maybe we thank Malone and Stockton before the game will be more effective"

Before the game, I did not know which fan organization proposed.

Before this game between the Lakers and the Jazz, there were really a lot of fans who were booing him thanks to Malone.

This made Malone very speechless.

This kind of thing that belongs to the black history has been mentioned again and again, he will always feel very embarrassed.

"Karl, don't be affected by the fans on the spot. The Lakers are not Spurs. The Lakers will not give us a chance to make mistakes!"

"I know, I will not be irritated by anyone in this game, I only need the championship this season."

After defeating the Spurs, Malone was very confident.

The Spurs are not an ordinary strong team, but a super strong team with eight superstars.

Such a victory and promotion have a great boost to morale.

If it was the Jazz last season against the Lakers this season, Jerry Sloan would not have any fluke.

His level of coaching or playing on the spot has no use.

Now, when the strength of the two teams is close, his coaching ability can be played.

"In this game, the Jazz are going to play a big four or four, Spencer did not start."

"Obviously Jerry Sloan believes that Spencer, who successfully blocked David Robinson's counterattack in the previous round, was useless against the Lakers."

"The starters on both sides of the game, the Lakers are a combination of Mutombo, Rodman, Eddie Jones and Lin Hanqiao Dumas, who are immobile, and the Jazz are Malone, Stockton, Hornacek Steve Smith, Russell."

"On the Jazz side, this is a fairly fast lineup, this should be the strategy for Lin Han's pass"

"Jerry Sloan is very familiar with Lin Han, and defends Lin Han alone. This defensive strategy was invented by Jerry Sloan."

"Using Malone as a center in a small lineup, this tactic is the secret weapon of the Jazz, but it is also quite risky"

"In the face of the Lakers, Jazz is not risky"

The Jazz have to take a bit of a risk when playing the Lakers. Normally, Spencer will play five and Malone four if he wants to step by step.

This will greatly reduce the offensive space, the Jazz's offense will decline.

But the Lakers will not drop offense.

Lin Han's offensive approach, the number of points scored in a game, is fixed.

Therefore, in order to defeat the Lakers, the Jazz must make breakthroughs and adventures on offense.

It is simply not realistic to want to defend well. Lin Han's attack is difficult enough. How hard can it be to defend?

In the final analysis, a basketball game is a game that scores more than anyone.

When the opponent knows how to prevent it no matter how he defends, each game is fixed with so many points.

How can you win this opponent?

Naturally, I don't do things to improve the defense. Even if the defense is improved, the opponent can easily score, so it makes no sense.

The defense is meaningless when facing Lin Han, but Malone can play on the offensive end as long as they score more than the Lakers.

If you want to change your offense, you have to take risks and take Steve Smith to the starting lineup.

Make up the lineup of Malone, Russell, Stockton, Steve Smith, Hornacek.

These five lineups, in addition to Malone can play hard inside, all are excellent shooters outside!

Hornacek's three-point field goal percentage was 47% this season, Stockton's 42% and Russell's 40%.

Steve Smith's is 35%.

Even the lowest Steve Smith is a very good shooter in the current nba

Moreover, Steve Smith is not in charge of the three-point line, but the middle distance!

This tactic is already obvious.

It is to prepare Malone to make better use of his offensive advantage.

Malone can play hard inside, pick and roll with Hornacek or Stockton, or pass the ball.

Such a lineup can almost be said to maximize the impact of Malone on the offensive end!

However, this change makes the height of Jazz shorter overall.

No one knows whether this will be an advantage or a disadvantage.

In the first goal of the match, Malone couldn't jump but Mutombo, so the Jazz lost a victory in the middle circle.

"The game has finally started!"

Before the game, Malone heard a lot of thanks from the Lakers fans. Such gratitude is certainly not true thanks. He is not an idiot. This is a humiliation to him!

Faced with the humiliation of these Lakers fans, it would be impossible if he was not angry, but he knew that it was no use to be angry!

He needs to scrub all this with grades!

He needs to use a single champion to scrub all this!

After the series with the Spurs, he felt very good!

He felt that omnipotent feeling!

Facing David Robinson, who is also one of the eight superstars, he did whatever he wanted!

Now, he wants to keep this omnipotence until the end of the season, so that he will become the final championship, so that he will wash away all the stains on his body!

"Now the Jazz lineup is very small, the Lakers have many options to attack!"

Jazz put a small lineup in this game, the defensive role is to pinch Lin Han's pass.

In the face of Stockton's single defense, Lin Han unexpectedly did not rush as hard as the regular season.

Every game of the regular season and the Jazz played to the end, which means that his kind of continuous play can not kill the Jazz at once.

When he didn't have the physical strength to pick up the middle distance again as a weapon, he and his teammates had cold hands.

In the end, naturally, there was no way to kill the Jazz with a hammer, or even be eventually chased by the Jazz.

The Jazz put such a small lineup, and let Stockton stand alone against him. This is to make him keep making three points.

Should he really be like this, wouldn't he just follow Jeremy Sloan's words?

After Lin Han drew the ball to the frontcourt, he signaled Mutombo for the inside. Soon, Mutombo mentioned the upper limit.

"Lin Han is ready to play pick-and-roll with Mutombo. He has seen the problem of the Jazz's small lineup. The Jazz's small lineup has no frame!"

"Malone is very difficult to do now. After coming out, the inside will be empty. If you don't follow Mutombo and Lin Han to pick and roll and help Lin Han block Stockton, it will be a three-pointer for an empty seat! Of the three points is almost the same as suicide!"

Since the Jazz are going to use a small lineup in this game, they are naturally prepared.

Malone didn't hesitate at all, and when Lin Han and Mutombo were ready to pick and roll, they directly followed.

Pick-and-roll substitutions, Ma Long did not give Lin Han a chance.

However, after the substitutions were completed, Lin Han's basketball went to Mutombo in the same way as a trick.

The iconic Lin Han-style pass behind!

In the face of defense is Stockton and Russell who makes a defense to the basket.

Mutombo can almost be ignored directly!

Russell did not hold his position, he just dunked directly.

If you stand still...

"Russell's defensive prediction is excellent, blocking Mutombo's approach, but he can no longer defend his opponent Eddie Jones. His beautiful hands dunk, Mutombo is condescending. The passing is also very good, of course, even more outstanding is Lin Han’s unbelievable passing behind the attack!”

Although I thought about the Lakers' offense like this, but when I saw the Lakers really played this kind of overall offense, it still surprised Jerry Sloan.

"He really has changed now"

If it was last season, he believed that in the face of Stockton's single defense, Lin Han would not hesitate to make a three-pointer!

In this way, the disadvantage of the Jazz's small lineup will be completely covered up.

Even if Lin Han's three-point pull is even better, but it is 50% hit rate!

50% hit rate is very good, but Lin Han can not shoot infinitely, can not beat the Jazz!

However, because of his large number of efforts outside the three-point line, the other Lakers players will lose their offensive rhythm and waste their teammates' best offensive opportunities.

Lin Han and the Lakers face few challenges in the regular season, so even if the Lakers lose their rhythm, they can.

But in the playoffs, in this targeted game, losing rhythm will be very dangerous.

Lin Han saw this danger, so he changed!

Such a change in Lin Han is not an improvement in strength, but an improvement in the ball quotient and understanding of basketball.

This series of games with the Lakers is more difficult than he thought!

Because of the continuous lessons of Malone in the regular season, Rodman is ready to take revenge in the playoffs.

In the second half of the season, Rodman's most important thing is to let Lin Han simulate Malone to beat him in addition to brushing data and flashing points on the court.

Now, finally facing Malone again, Rodman is ready to wrestle with Malone!

However, in this game, Malone is playing center, Rodman snatched Mutombo's defender, Mutombo will be very uncomfortable.

,

Go out, Rodman will have a problem with the frame.

If you don’t follow, there are all three-pointers outside, and there are a bunch of players who shoot 40% from the jazz field.

In the end, whether to follow or not, Mutombo finally gritted his teeth, but still followed.

As for the frame protection, I can only believe that Rodman can withstand Malone one-on-one.

Mutombo just prepared to go outside and stare at Russell before turning around. He heard a dunk behind him.

Looking back, I saw Malone hanging on the rim.

"From this defense, it can be seen that Rodman is fully prepared. Compared with the regular season, he can withstand Malone, but his body is still too thin compared to Malone, Malone's strength hit After that, Rodman greeted him again and could not defend Malone's back."

This style of back turning.

Full of O'Neill's shadow.

Lin Han has been paying attention to Malone playing Rodman. Although Rodman practiced with him for half a season, he was very well prepared.

But his simulated Malone is different from Malone after all.

His figure is much thinner than Malone, and after he knocked Rodman away, it was impossible to play Malone's style of back turn.

Worthy of being the one who beat the general in the last round.

Even if it will be attacked by Malone, but it can be regarded as the sky to attack the general of the best defensive player.

After the game started, Lin Han did not play hard.

Facing the trap of Jazz, he is organizing his teammates.

The Jazz side is constantly using Malone's offensive influence to score.

Half of the first quarter, the two sides played a draw of 16 to 16, both offensive efficiency is quite high!

"Dennis, are you okay"

"He is much stronger than I thought!"

Rodman didn't look very excited without Lin Han worrying about it!

"Lin~www.readwn.com~ I don't want you to help in this game, I want someone to come to him!"

"up to you"

With Lin Han's permission, Rodman was very happy, and Lin Han was also very happy.

This feeling of being all helpers around him was something he could not feel last season.

In the last season, after Malone exploded, he needed to personally manage Malone. If someone else exploded, he would have to manage others.

How good it is now, even if the other party explodes, there is a match point on his side.

As for being beaten to death by Malone?

Of course it does not exist!

As long as there is no difference between the Jazz and the first half, he is not in the second half!
