NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 116 : No comparison, no harm!

Breaking the curse of losing after eight consecutive victories and carrying the tyrannical aura of nine consecutive victories, the Jazz came to San Antonio on the second day after the end of the game with the Mavericks, and deeply felt the malice of the away game.

The locker room in the Spurs arena is almost like a freezer, and people are trembling with the cold. Forget it, it turned out to be extremely inhumane and cut off the hot water.

It’s so bad.

Wang Pan has one more target on his notebook.

Originally because of the away game playing back to back, the Jazz players were exhausted physically and mentally. Suddenly they encountered such “inhuman” treatment. All of them were filled with outrage and anger, which directly caused the team’s defensive actions on the field to become a lot bigger. .

The referee’s whistle sounded on the court from time to time, and Spurs players could be seen coming to the free throw line from time to time. Almost from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, the home team fans in the arena spared no effort to influence the Jazz in various ways The state of the game.

The Jazz has always played with anger, and the results speak for themselves.

Obviously, the team did not play very sensibly in this game.

Jerry as the head coach? Seeing that the situation was not right, Sloan simply ordered not to go too far. The meaning was clear. If you want to send xie, send xie. Win or lose in the game is not considered.

There must be deep-seated considerations.

On the other hand, the Spurs have been playing steadily, David? Robinson, Sean? Elliott and Pooh? John News all three scored 20+ points in this game, leading the Spurs to maintain their dominant position on the court until the final whistle sounded.

Even if they did not give up at the last second, the Jazz still failed to escape the fate of losing.

The competitive state of the two sides is not at the same level as the attitude towards this game. I always feel that Coach Sloan doesn’t seem to want to win this game.

“Huh…20” With hands on hips, Wang Pan shook his head slightly as he watched the dazzling 97:111 score on the score board.

In this game, he has tried his best. He played a full 43 minutes, shot 18 times and hit 12 of them, including two unexpected three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and extremely efficient slashing. Scored a game-high 28 points.

There are also 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals!

He still can’t help the team win the game, but he can only do this to this extent. Looking at Carl who looked unwilling a few steps away? Ma Long, Wang Pan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the last two games, the state of Lao Ma has been relatively sluggish. It is not the same as before. The other insiders in the team were originally jerk and tool players. The mainstay of Lao Ma was not good, and all of them followed “decadence.” “As a result, the team has been unable to open the situation on the inside line, rebounding lost nearly ten, and the pressure on the outside line is also extremely high.

In this era when insiders are king, if insiders don’t talk about suppressing opponents, they can’t even achieve a balance of power. Then the game will be very difficult.

Thinking of this, Wang Pan suddenly became concerned.

Stepping back to the dressing room.

I don’t know if it’s because the Spurs won the game and they are happy, so I don’t plan to make things difficult for them; I still don’t plan to do too much at one time. After all, the two teams still have three regular season games to play. Anyway, they returned to the locker room. Wang Pan discovered that the hot water was finally turned on.

At this time, in the bathroom…

Through an invisible glass partition, Wang Pan faces Carl who is washing his yu? Ma Long asked nonchalantly: “Master Elbow, you are in a bad state recently.”

Hearing that, Carl? Ma Long was stunned. After reacting, he insisted: “It’s okay, it’s not that bad, right? H” It’s more than one level worse than you were before. “Wang Pan directly pierced its cover.

“I’m almost done washing, let’s go out first.” Carl? Ma Long did not respond directly.

Without waiting for what Wang Pan said, he walked straight out of the bathroom.

After finishing and putting on some clothes, he went to the post-match press conference with Stockton, who was already waiting at the door of the locker room.

On the way, he noticed that there was something wrong with Malone’s expression, and Stockton couldn’t help asking: “Carl, did the king say to you in the bathroom?” “How did you know?” Carl? Ma Long asked suspiciously.

Does his old partner have a habit of listening to the corner?

Not knowing what Malone was thinking, Stockton responded truthfully: “I saw the kid staring at you after the game, so I guessed that he must have something to tell you because of your recent bad condition. ?”

“Forehead…”

Turning his head, looking at Stockton’s serious look, Carl? Malone said silently: “Is it really that bad?” “The shooting percentage in the two consecutive games was below 40%, do you think it’s bad?” Stockton almost rolled his eyes.

If this is not bad, then what is bad.

Both are shooting more than ten percentage points lower than usual. If Malone showed his due level in these two games, the team would definitely not win so hard.

The two have been cooperating with the Jazz for more than ten years. At this time, seeing Malone’s expression, Stockton couldn’t understand the situation of his old partner. He immediately said again: “Don’t be stubborn again, this season. It’s so long and the state has ups and downs. It’s normal, but don’t be too aggressive. It will only affect the team’s record. When it’s time to let go, let it go. It’s time to retreat after another five or six years. H” Five or six years…should be almost all right? “Carl? Malone pointed out.

Stockton, who understood the meaning, responded: “At his speed of improvement, as long as the two old guys don’t hold back, it’s enough. M” Am I Karl? Malone! It’s not a trash soldier, even if it’s a drag, that kid is dragging me back! “Carl? Malone was slightly excited.

Looking at the entrance to the post-match press conference not far ahead, he ignored his old partner’s grumble, Stockton laughed: “So what I just proposed…what do you think? M” Can that kid do it? ”

“Thirty regular season games have been played, you should have a clear answer mentally. H? Because of “/QA?

At the same time, in U 99, in the locker room, Wang Pan was a little helpless. Originally, he just wanted to talk to Lao Ma as a friend to understand the current situation of the other party. Is it because the body is weak or the spirit is too tired , Or because of other reasons, the state of the court is sluggish.

Who thinks that the other party didn’t give him the opportunity to ask carefully, and left directly, which would be very embarrassing.

“Isn’t it angry? H thought of his rather direct way of speaking, Wang Pan guessed, and then shook his head…For his opponent, Lao Ma is indeed a cautious eye to report, but after this period of time, Wang Pan found that the old horse has always been very friendly and caring to his teammates, or to himself.

You shouldn’t be angry if you speak a little more directly…

He shook his head and stopped worrying about things that he didn’t understand. Since his teammates were in a bad state, Wang Pan felt that he could only take more responsibility on the court, and everything was for victory.

Because this game was lost to the Spurs and harvested the team’s fourth defeat of the season, and the Bulls still only lost four times, the Jazz can only share the league’s first position with the opponent once again.

The difference is that the Bulls have been in full form recently, beating strong opponents in a row, and today they beat the Rockets led by Olajuwon with a big score, which can be described as a rainbow of momentum for a while.

The Jazz obviously can’t compare with their opponents here.

What is even more troublesome is that with only one day off, the Jazz will have to play against the Lakers at the Staples Center. It is still an away game and the pressure is not small.

As a result, after only one night’s rest in San Antonio, the Jazz team flew to Los Angeles.

Along the way, he found that Ma’s attitude towards him was still kind, and Wang Pan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

All the way, we chatted with each other, and finally arrived in Los Angeles at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

Compared to Salt Lake City, the lively, bustling and warm metropolis Los Angeles left a very deep impression on the Jazz generals.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

It’s just that everyone has no time to pay attention to these, just rested for a night here in Los Angeles, and in the evening of the next day, they started a battle with the Lakers at home. In the two clashes before this season, the Jazz have won both games and have a certain psychological advantage.

But the specific victory or defeat still depends on the strength of the team and on-the-spot performance.

At the beginning of the game, over there for the Lakers, Nick? Van Exel and Cedric? Ceballos showed an excellent competitive state. It can be seen that both of them desperately want to help the team complete their revenge, and they have indeed shown their attitude and fighting spirit on the court.

And there are lessons from the previous game. Both of them consciously avoided the matchup with Wang Pan during the breakthrough. They were not afraid of Wang Pan. They just wanted to get the most out of the game with the least cost and be able to relax. , Who wants to be so tired, it’s not Kobe…

Oh, Xiaoke hasn’t entered the league yet.

Looking back at the Jazz, Carl? Malone encountered Divac, Campbell, and Corey? The joint “encirclement and suppression” of the three major insiders of Bronte is almost to tell you directly, I just don’t make sense, just want to pinch the old horse.

Ostertag, the tool man on the inside, had eaten several times because of this, but the Lakers didn’t care about it at all.

Compared with the continuous collapse of the inside line, the outside line Wang Pan, Stockton, and Hornacek played fairly smoothly, with good efficiency. Especially Wang Pan, just like the last game with the Lakers, once again blasted Eddie, who was one term above him, on both ends of the offense and defense? Jones.

Facing him with greater strength and 320 speed faster than himself, his prediction was extremely accurate, and his height was just three centimeters shorter than himself. Wang Pan, Eddie? Jones has nothing to do with it. On the offensive end, there is almost nothing to play, and the defensive end is also unstoppable.

Just like this round…

“Slap~”

After the three-point line was connected to the pass, Wang Pan’s three-threat action flickered for a few times, and then suddenly started.

Hurry up!

Wiping the past from the opponent’s side, just two steps into the three-point line, is an unexpected stop, attracting Eddie? Jones was caught off guard, and couldn’t adjust the center of gravity no matter what.

With a sudden stop and jump, perfect hand shape, and quick shot, the basketball crossed a tall arc and hit the basket in the eyes of everyone.

The crisp sound of entering the net fell on Eddie? In Jones’ ears, it was exceptionally harsh.

The rest of the Lakers were not affected. The bottom line served. Ceballos and Van Exel made a small cooperation. The former took the ball and made a layup. The old horse was dominated by height. Campbell stuck in position, unable to move forward to seal the cover, his expression aggrieved.

I couldn’t help but want to elbow, but reason still defeated the impulse.

As the game continued, the Jazz organized the offense. As soon as Malone got the ball inside, not only Campbell, but Divac quickly stepped forward. The two directly double-teamed the defense. They had no choice but to take advantage of the double-teaming net. Formed and passed the ball to Ostertag.

The ball was not very secure, Ostertag lost the opportunity to attack, and Divac had already rushed forward.

Without knowing what to do with the ball for a while, Wang Pan suddenly ran along the bottom line from the bottom of the foot. Under Ostertag’s expression of being saved, his opponent received the pass. , The other side helped to block Eddie who was following the defense? Jones.

The basket jumped up, Wang Pan’s iconic trick in the air, evading Divac’s blocking action, his wrist flicked, and the basketball flew out from his fingers, falling firmly into the basket. O “Quai?!”

Get two more points, but don’t wait.Wang Pan breathed a sigh of relief. The Lakers are already serving the bottom line quickly, Nick? Van Exel rushed to the frontcourt madly, and Stockton couldn’t catch up at all. He could only watch the opponent catch the ball and make a layup.

Wang Pan, who just ran to the midline position, saw that the team was behind by 7 points. There were only the last three minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter. The opponent’s offensive was fierce. Feeling tired, this game was so difficult to play…
