Chapter 224 : Just thinking hard, the situation continues to stalemate!

In the second quarter of the game, the Sonics took Gary? Payton and Schramf are the core of the inside and outside of the field, supplemented by Sam? Perkins, Nate? McMillan, and Frank? Brick Kowski, the overall height of the team has dropped a lot, but the fighting power is still outstanding.

After all, the core force of Gary? Payton is still on the court, and the team’s strength is undoubtedly guaranteed.

On the Jazz side, head coach Jerry? Sloan’s idea of ​​substitution is very clear, anyway, as long as it is Gary? If Payton does not end, then Wang Pan will not end either.

So Jeff? Hornacek led the team with Wang Pan, Felton? Spencer and Greg? Foster acts as the inside twin towers, David? Bennault replaced the small front. The height advantage of the inside line is obvious, and the strength of the overall lineup is not inferior to the opponent.

Coach Sloan’s request is simple, that is, to maintain the lead on the field and try to support him until the Lao Ma and Lao Si have finished their rest.

Of course, it would be great if the score could be further expanded.

Everyone trusts Wang Pan and Hornacek very much.

However, from the very beginning of the game, the situation developed in an unexpected direction for the Jazz.

First on the defensive end, Gary? Payton did not evade anymore. The scenes of the Wang Pan massacre in the first quarter are still vivid, and the current score situation speaks for itself.

If you let the Wang Daxian continue to score and play as he pleases on the court, even if the Sonics defended Karl? With these two points, Malone and Stockton, to win this game, the difficulty is still extremely high, and it can even be said to be extremely low.

George who knows this well? Carl finds that he has no other choice. If he wants to win, it can only be Pagari? Payton guarded Wang Pan the whole time, supplemented by other players’ defense, in order to limit Wang Pan’s scoring, at least to reduce Wang Pan’s scoring efficiency.

The arrow-piercing mid-range shot in the first quarter was really impressive. Even if Wang Pan continued to fight like this, the Jazz continued to give him the right to open fire and assist with the pick-and-roll on the court. I’m afraid the kid will get 50 points!

This is George? 387 What Carl can’t allow, a change of defense is imperative, and he does exactly that.

The defensive end of Payton, who is at the peak of his career, is extremely strong and difficult to deal with. Wang Pan wants to get rid of it, and he always spends a lot of energy, and he can’t completely get rid of the key opponent’s defending player. Being able to defend the position at the first time makes it difficult for him to get the kind of easy outing in the first quarter.

However, relying on running without the ball and his great presence on the court, and wanting to always keep Wang Pan at a sufficient level of restraint, the defensive system of the Sonics will definitely be affected, which directly leads to Lao Huo and the others. The defensive pressure on his body has dropped a lot, and the efficiency is definitely not too bad.

In this case, even if Wang Pan’s personal performance is limited, the overall scoring efficiency of the Jazz is actually not bad. I originally thought that the situation on the court would be relatively stalemate, and most of the point difference would be very close. Moving up and down, no one can change the score in a short period of time. Whoever wants the Sonics to play a big move on the offensive end.

Sam who hasn’t been showing up? Perkins broke out suddenly!

Born in New York in 1961, he is 35 years old and is two meters and six meters tall. Speaking of which, maybe no one will talk to Sam? The player Perkins has a big impression and doesn’t care much. He is just a veteran who has reached the end of his career.

But as Michael? Jordan’s supreme partner on the basketball court during the University of North Carolina, won the arrogant and arrogant Jordan [he is a person who can make the game easy] a very high evaluation player, how can it be easy, even if The previous playoffs did not perform too brightly, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

But in this game, the Sonics fell behind by a full 10 points in a single quarter. The main core players were unable to break the deadlock. When the team fell into a disadvantaged situation, the veteran stood up.

Lian Po is old, he can still eat!

Although playing inside, but Sam? Perkins’s three-point shooting rate has always been above the standard. After the second quarter of the game, he frequently ran to the three-point line to receive the ball and decisively shot three-pointers. The outside line was directly connected (cafj) with three three-pointers. , Personally scored 9 points in a row, with Gary? Payton’s strong defense, the two together helped the Sonics to reduce the point difference on the court to 3 points.

The Jazz were a little dazed by the sudden outburst of their opponents.

It was just 10 points ahead, why suddenly there are only 3 points left? !

The opponent’s big veteran three-pointer is too unreasonable!

On the bench, Jerry? Sloan hesitated to call a timeout, but after touching the unwavering gaze of Wang Pan on the field, he suppressed his inner worries and prepared to wait for another round. If the team can’t play the next offensive round. In the middle, then he must call a timeout to adjust his tactics, and even change players in advance.

At this time, on the court…

“Sure enough, I can’t underestimate any old guy in the league. It might happen someday!” He glanced at his face with a calm expression, and did not feel complacent because he had scored three three-pointers in a row, or showed Excited and terribly calm, Sam? Perkins, Wang Pan admitted that he really underestimated this guy before. His height of 2.06 meters is obviously a bit of a disadvantage to play inside, but his footwork is flexible, with a stable outside three-pointer, and he is responsible for following defense. His Foster is very uncomfortable, and he can’t keep up with his opponents. What do you want to do? It’s not good to be too tall.

Glancing at the score on the scoreboard, Wang Pan lifted his spirits, didn’t think much about it, and focused on the game, with a forty-five-degree three-pointer and Gary? Payton’s strong jiu entangled for two seconds, then suddenly started to accelerate and rushed to the basket. Spencer stepped forward and blocked Gary? Payton, Foster even a close-door pick-and-roll, making the glove completely defensive.

But Sam? Perkins and Schramf’s supplementary defense was very timely and did not give Wang Pan a chance to catch the ball.

Perceiving this situation, Wang Pan’s footsteps were erratic, and he quickly rushed beyond the three-point line.

Knowing Wang Pan’s excellent three-point ability, Schramf duo, but didn’t dare to relax the slightest, and immediately double-teamed forward.

I thought I must not let Wang Pan catch the ball!

Outside the three-point line, Hornacek had a panoramic view of the situation on the court, very decisive, and raised his hand to deliver the basketball to the unmarked Foster under the basket.

The latter easily scored a layup, helping the team extend its lead to 5 points.

Okay, even Foster himself is a little bit daunted, do you want to look down on people so much, there is no one within two steps, this is not a bonus.

The Sonics players are dumbfounded, why did they miss this guy completely?

Sam in charge of marking Foster? Perkins was a bit hot. This ball was his fault. With Schramf already in place, he obviously shouldn’t have stepped forward. He gave his opponent a big open space, even if he was outside the three-point line. A big open at the basket is just to send points, which is too much.

Relying on Foster’s easy layup, the Jazz will stabilize the situation.

The Sonics quickly serve from the bottom line…

Gary? Payton hadn’t passed halftime, and Wang Pan had already rushed forward. The two were engaged in an extremely fierce physical confrontation at the center line. No one wanted to show weakness, Sam? Perkins hurriedly stepped forward to respond, but was circumvented by Wang Pan’s alert back turning motion. Without stopping, he continued to follow the gloves.



Perceived this situation, Gary? Payton did not choose to play hard by himself, but immediately passed the ball and sent the basketball to Sam who had just helped the pick-and-roll and ran directly beyond the three-point line? Perkins’ hands.

“Good pass!” As soon as he receives the ball, he is ready to shoot. Foster is still two steps away. It is obvious that he can’t play defense at his speed, Sam? Perkins was very relieved and directly took the shooting posture, but before he took off, accompanied by the sound of anxious footsteps on his side, Wang Pan rushed forward, jumped and slapped the basketball directly. Shoot and fly out.

“When did this guy come? !” Sam? Perkins looked at Wang Pan in surprise.

But Wang Pan didn’t have time to pay attention to this guy. He kept his eyes on the basketball shot by him on the court and looked a little helpless.

Because of David? Bennott did not snatch Schramf, and was taken into the hands of the opponent by the opponent. The first time he moved laterally to Gary, who was intruded? Payton’s hands.

The glove catches the ball and makes a jump shot, and the basketball falls into the pocket. The point difference is still 3 points!

“Suck in… exhale…?”

He took a deep breath, breathed it out slowly, and calmed down his anxious heart. Wang Pan knew that this game would definitely not be able to tell the winner or loser in a short time. It was definitely a jiu battle. Don’t be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, you can only play steadily and seek opportunities to further open the score.

In the next few minutes, on the offensive end, facing Gary? Payton’s strong marking, Wang Pan played very cleverly, instead of blindly hitting and rushing, he used pick-and-rolls and off-the-ball runs to get rid of the defense, dislocation to play big with small, and eat his opponent with his footwork, or After attracting the defense, help teammates get a mobile meeting.

The effect is not bad!

Even if it wasn’t for him to score, but the military medal still has half of his credit…

As for the defensive end, is it sparing no effort to follow Gary? Payton, did not give the opponent the opportunity to easily play the ball and break through his own defense.

Team coach Jerry? Sloan also made targeted substitutions at the right time, obviously unable to keep up with Sam? Greg of Perkins? Foster replaced, replaced by Antoine, who is similar in height and speed to the opponent? Kyle, guard the whole time.

However, for Schramf, the Jazz still have no good solutions.

Whether to send David? Bennault, or Chris? Morris, the effect is average. That guy is just like Wang Pan, with extremely comprehensive abilities, capable of throwing and transferring energy, and has good physical strength. Although all attributes may not be top-notch, compared to Wang Pan. It’s worse.

But the victory lies in the overall situation. His height of 2.06 meters also has a lot of advantages in the position of the small forward. He can always use his own strength and attack the other’s shortcomings to cooperate with Gary? Payton’s organizational skills are outstanding, and he has scored 17 points just after half of the game in the second quarter!

To help the Sonics always cling to the score and seek a chance to overtake…

The second quarter of the game soon passed, and the difference between the two sides was still within five points. The Jazz and the Sonics chose to make substitutions at this point in time.

Gary? Payton still has no idea of ​​ending, and Wang Pan is the same. The two of them just want to go!

The fans and spectators were very excited, predicting the outcome of the two.

If before the start of the season, even in the middle of the season, no one would think that Wang Pan could be with Gary? A star of Payton’s level faces up on the court without losing the wind. Even more would not put the two of them on the same level.

One is a superstar who has proven himself at the peak of his professional career, and the other is a second-round rookie in the first grade. It is simply a world! But at this moment, everyone didn’t notice it, did they see Wang Pan and Gary? When Payton played inextricably on the offensive and defensive ends, he was not surprised at all in his heart, as if the facts should have been so general.

Unconsciously, Wang Pan has grown to a level that the rookies of the same period can only look up to!

Personal strength has been recognized by everyone!

The game continued on the field, and the two sides of the game who had their respective starting lineups were still playing inextricably, and they were very close.

After halftime, the Jazz led by 64:60, just 4 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Wang Pan contributed more to his strength on the support side. He only scored 6 points, but still had 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot. His performance was still very good. But after playing 24 minutes in the first half, he was with Gary again? Payton is a super-powerful opponent head-on, and his energy consumption is not negligible.

Of course, Gary, who is against him? Payton is also very tired.

Just when everyone thought that the two of them would take a break in the second half to recover their stamina and play again, after a brief adjustment in the intermission time, the sweat on the hair in the third quarter was not completely dry. Wang Pan , Glistening Gary with the big bald head? Payton still appeared on the field for the first time, which was very surprising…
