NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 198 : The defending champion still has something

On May 4th, Saturday night, in the Energy Solution Arena, the Jazz took a five-day break and adjusted for a full five-day break. The Jazz, whose energy and condition have reached the peak of Dian, will sit on their home court and start the first game of the Western Conference semifinals. The opponent is the defending champion Rockets led by Olajuwon and Drexler!

“Finally I can see Wang’s game again. These days, I’ve been watching highlights and replays every day. To be honest, I really don’t feel much fun. Especially the Bulls’ games are all unknown players, and they belong to Brother Wang. There was a feeling in the game, and it was full of immersion.”

“Michael? Jordan, you don’t even know you, you really don’t know, but although the strength of the Bulls is strong, they really didn’t feel substantiated by watching the Jazz game where Brother Wang is playing. Anyway, whether you win or lose, you are all foreigners. It feels too big.”

“Not to mention the Bulls, entering the semi-finals, the opponents we face this time are definitely stronger. I don’t know if Brother Wang can win.” “As long as we can continue to play against the Kings. In a competitive state, the Jazz should be able to win, even if they face the defending champion.”

“The Rockets are the defending champions? Why are they ranked so low in the regular season?”

“It may be that the strength of the team has declined this season. I am not very clear. Anyway, I support the Jazz and support Brother Wang. I believe Brother Wang will not let us down. w” If we can win the Rockets , Then you can successfully enter the Western Conference Finals, and then win the Western Conference Finals, Wang will be able to enter the finals, you can go to compete for the championship, there are two final rounds left! “U 99 advanced to the semi-finals because of the early “370”, and the Bulls also swept their opponents to the semi-finals, making the domestic fans suddenly no “food for the mind”, and CCTV Sports Channel did not broadcast other games. The team’s game, so you can only watch replays and highlights.

It feels okay once or twice, but more often than not, I definitely can’t stand it.

Basically looking at the beginning, the ending picture has already appeared in my mind, which is not interesting at all.

So all of them are now eagerly thinking about seeing the Jazz semi-finals game, this time it finally waited, it all seemed very excited.

At this time, the fans were waiting in front of the TV early in droves, listening to the commentators, while waiting for the start of the game…

It’s boring to watch a game alone at home. Now it’s all a group of people who come to the house and gather in front of the TV to watch the game together. While watching the game, I can also discuss and chat together, and I’m so happy and lively.

Whenever there is a Jazz game, this kind of scene will appear in front of thousands of TV sets in Dragon Kingdom.

It has become a habit of fans and constitutes a beautiful landscape.

People have a herd mentality. When so many people gather to watch the game, others will be curious, and they will watch it. After some introduction, the crowd watching basketball has increased a lot.

Wang Pan can be regarded as a change of direction to promote the awareness and promotion of basketball in China. Unfortunately, as a client, he doesn’t know anything about it.

At this moment, when the Jazz and Rockets get players, they have already played and entered the warm-up stage…

“Delete? La? Butterfly??” Just like the warm-up state against the Kings before, Wang Pan continued to show his unparalleled open three-point shooting rate, accurately sending the basketball to the basket time and time again. , Attracted the home team fans in the arena cheered.

I started counting spontaneously, and I felt full of participation.

Unconsciously, Wang Pan has become the most beautiful boy on the scene.

But unlike the Kings, experienced Rockets players have not been affected. In the pre-match analysis, their head coach Rudy? Tomjanovich has not less analyzed Wang Pan’s three-point projection ability. After watching videos and statistics, he learned the characteristics of its three-pointers.

That is, the shooting rate of open shots is extremely high, but once it is interfered by the defense, the shooting rate will drop significantly.

Although it is still good, it is already within an understandable range, not so incredible.

Knowing this situation, the Rockets’ generals immediately felt relieved. If Wang Pan’s three-pointer is really invincible, then their game will be difficult to play.

If there is a weakness, it can be targeted!

But even though I knew this, I suddenly watched Wang Pan hit three-pointers at different shooting points for more than ten or twenty times in a row. Even if there was no emotional change on the surface, the Rockets generals were still secretly alarmed. , And made up his mind, this game must not give Wang Pan an open shot.

If this is voted by Wang Pan, then they won’t be able to play this game.

In this regard, was arranged to follow up with Wang Pan’s Chaki? Brown said that the pressure is high.

Several encounters during the regular season made him deeply aware of Wang Pan’s difficulty, how does his ability to run without the ball coordinate with Jerry? The pick-and-roll tactics Sloan specially arranged for him were really too difficult to defend.

It’s not just Wang Pan who scored points in the key Jazz, Carl? Malone also needs key attention, John on the outside? Stockton, regardless of his defensive ability, but as long as the offensive end dare to give him a chance, the efficiency is also very high and cannot be slackened.

The three strong scoring points are on the court at the same time, and it is hard to say that it is difficult to put a certain limit.

There is another Jeff on the bench? Hornacek, the Rockets have a lot of defensive pressure.

In these thoughts, the warm-up time was over, the players of both sides returned to the bench, and after making the final preparations, all the starting players appeared.

The Jazz changed their game in this game. Ostertag returned to the starting lineup, facing Olajuwon and Jerry? Sloan’s idea is very simple, anyway, no matter who is sent to the center, as long as it is one-on-one, it will definitely be unstoppable. It would be better to send a taller player.

Conducive to the protection of rebounds.

Ostertag, the tallest in the team, made a glorious start.

The other four positions remain the same, still Karl? Malone + David? Bennot + Wang Pan + John? Stockton.

Chris? Morris has returned from injury, but hasn’t played for a long time, and the playoffs are so important that it is impossible for him to play in search of state.

So Jerry? Sloan did not suddenly put him on the field. This game is definitely a substitute. Anyway, the strength of this old man and Bennott is not much different. Whoever is sent on the field is just a tool.

Eyes shifted to the Rockets, who continued their usual lineup, specifically Hakim? Olajuwon + Robert? Horry + Chucky? Brown + Clyde? Drex Le + Kenny? Smith.

At this time, the players on both sides have already established their positions on the court, and their eyes are fixed on the players who are facing him. Except for Ostertag, he looked a little excited when he saw his idol, and the expressions of the others were comparative. He was composed and calm, looking intently waiting for the start of the game.

Just wait without letting them…

“Beep?!” With a whistle, the referee threw the basketball straight into the air. When it reached the highest point and was about to fall, Olajuwon and Ostertag jumped almost at the same time. In the end, Ostertag, who was more dominant in height, took the lead by half a step, and chu encountered the basketball first and dialed it to his own half.

Stockton got the ball, the Jazz took the lead in opening the offensive…

Looking at Chuckie, who is staring at him with a serious face in front of him? Brom, Wang Pan blinked at him with a smile, and then suddenly exerted his strength under his feet, took a quick step, and walked in a erratic pace that the six relatives did not recognize, and walked in the crowd without the ball in the crowd, Oster Targe stepped forward to help with the pick-and-roll in a timely manner.

Almost at the same time, Olajuwon made up defense. He was 2.13 meters tall, but he was very quick and flexible. He followed Wang Pan directly to the three-point line and the Rockets defended under the basket. Suddenly feeling empty, Carl? Malone caught the ball and slammed into the basket, and drove Robert away? Horry, scoring dunk dunks with one hand vigorously, immediately aroused the atmosphere of the baoT scene.

The home team fans cheered freely, cheering for the players!

With a score of 2:0, the Jazz at home opened the game first.

Switch offense and defense, the Rockets organize offense…

The ball fell into the hands of Olajuwon the first time, Ostertag guarded very seriously behind him, Carl? Malone stepped forward to prepare to double-team, but Dameng reacted extremely quickly, and immediately passed the ball to Robert, who was unmarked? Horry’s hands.

He took the ball and shot, Uncle Huo played decisively, making a quick mid-range shot.

Unmarked, did not feel the slightest defensive pressure, the basketball fell steadily into the basket? ? 0 2:2!

The Jazz served quickly from the bottom line. Stockton got the ball and was about to start a fast break, but was Kenny? Smith blocked his way and passed the ball right away.

“Slap~”

At the moment of catching the ball, feeling the strange hand between him, Wang Pan sank his shoulders slightly, his feet slammed into his feet, and directly slammed Chaki away? Bulang took a big stride and rushed straight to the frontcourt.

Chaki who was almost knocked to the ground? Bu Lang felt the pain from Yue Xiong’s mouth, and looked at the referee with aggrieved expression.

What caught your eye was the referee trotting away from his back. The referee didn’t pay attention to his thoughts at all, Chucky? Bronton was unhappy.

At the same time, Wang Pan was already in front of the Rockets’ three-point line. Drexler stepped forward in time to make up for it. The whole person directly tied up and tried to prevent Wang Pan from continuing to enter the three-point line. Reluctantly found that he could not withstand the impact of Wang Pan at all.

“This kid has become so much stronger!” Drexler was shocked.

This is the moment of distraction, Wang Pan suddenly stopped and turned around, shaking his wrist, the basketball flew past Drexler’s right side, and hit the floor with a clear rotation, obliquely. Rebounding, he wiped his jersey from the left side of the opponent.

The ball is divided!

The basketball seemed to be attracted by Wang Pan’s palm, and bounced back into his hand in an arc.

-step!

Two steps!

Jumping high, clutching the basketball with both hands, he smashed it into the hoop. “Boom~!” Two-handed dunks scored. Wang Pan helped the team rewrite the score to 4:2. Landing steadily, without saying anything to Drexler, he quickly returned to defense.

Watching Wang Pan away from him, Drexler found that he still seemed to underestimate him.

Comparing the last match in the regular season with the current state, I was full of exclamation: “You are good to be young. The speed of progress is really fast, and there is great potential to be tapped. How can an old guy like me keep the current state? The state is difficult.”

Shaking his head, Drexler ran to the frontcourt quickly without thinking about it.

The Rockets organize an offense…

Olajuwon got stuck inside and asked for the ball again, Carl? Ma Long didn’t believe in evil, and quickly stepped forward again to prepare to double-team. Wang Pan approached Robert secretly? Horry took two steps, but was discovered by the opponent for the first time, and immediately moved away from him by two steps.

It can be seen that the Rockets have done a very good job of pre-match research and analysis on Wang Pan and the Jazz, and there is no obvious flaw.

Olajuwon, who was inside, took advantage of the advantage that the double-teaming net had not yet formed to pass the ball again, Robert? Horry caught the ball and made a fake shot, but with a big hand, he passed the basketball directly to Ken, who had a chance to run out of the perimeter, at 5.9 Ni? Smith.

“Pang caught the ball and took a three-pointer decisively. Stockton was two beats slower and failed to keep up with the opponent, let alone put defensive pressure.

I could only watch the basketball being quickly thrown out, flying over the hoop, and falling into it without hindrance.

“Butterfly?” After a three-pointer, the Rockets rewritten the score to 5:4, overtaking the Jazz by 1 point.

Jazz offensive round, Carl? After Malone’s face frame three threats flicked a few times, he shot, Robert? Horry’s attention was very concentrated. Although he could not be blocked, he covered his eyes for the first time, and his two fingers were almost pierced into the eyes of Lao Ma.

Suddenly encountering this kind of defense, Lao Ma’s shooting strength and angle inevitably changed slightly, but it was fatal.

DUANG!

Accompanied by the sound of iron strikes, the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high. Osttag struggled to get stuck in a favorable position, but was turned around by Olajuwon, turning passive into active, changing the advantages and disadvantages. , Put Oka in the back to protect the backboard.

He raised his hand and was about to pass the ball out, but he suddenly received the ball and chose to dribble two steps to the front court instead.

No him, because Dameng saw Wang Pan who was on the edge of the pass line and didn’t dare to pass it.

“It’s a pity…” I sighed helplessly. Seeing that Ostertag couldn’t complete the steal, he didn’t have a chance to come forward, so he turned back to defense. The opponent was too alert to find a chance, Wang Pan Can’t help feeling: “The defending champion still has something…”?
