Chapter 295 : One goal sets the world and three consecutive victories!

On the fourth day of November, in the Energy Solutions Arena, the Western Conference’s high-profile focus game, the Jazz and the Rockets’ first regular-season confrontation of the season officially kicked off. Compared to last season, the Rockets’ starting lineup for the new season looks extremely gorgeous on paper, not worse than the Bulls and the Jazz. But to get Charles? Barkley, the superstar, they paid too much.

The direct result of the team’s bench depth this season is obviously not as good as last season.

With Sam? Kassel, Chucky? Bron, Kenny? The trade of these outstanding role players like Smith, and the Rockets currently do not have so many trustworthy rotation players in their roster, it will inevitably increase the pressure on the Olajuwon trio.

Barkley has just joined the Rockets. The tacit understanding and cooperation with Olajuwon and Drexler is definitely not enough. You need to continue to run in with the two in training and games to form a good chemical reaction. The Big Three has not been able to achieve the ideal state of 1+1+1 greater than 3.

This is the case. The Rockets continue the game routine of last season, launching an offensive from the inside out, striving to give full play to Olajuwon’s dominance on the inside and help Drake on the outside. Sler, Mario? Ellie and other players get space to shoot.

But without Kenny? Smith and Sam? With Cassell and other three-pointers on the court, the threat of the Rockets’ tactics has obviously decreased a lot.

And Charles? Barkley’s role in the interior has not been played out. Such a historically best mini all-around power forward has more of a role as an interior defensive pioneer and rebounding machine. The offensive strength has not been able to play, for the Rockets. , Is undoubtedly a big loss.

In contrast, the Jazz’s offensive tactics and cooperation seem to be tacit and much more reasonable.

Wang Pan runs off the ball or breaks the offense with the ball. Stockton controls the rhythm and organization. Carl? Malone took the high position, or he took the ball and shot directly, or 20 passed the basketball after attracting the defense, Ostertag focused on the tool man on the court, Brian? Russell focuses on defense, and from time to time seeks opportunities for open shots. The division of labor for the entire team is very clear, and the tactical operation is very smooth.

And there are Wang Pan and Karl? Malone’s two strong points of autonomous offensive scoring ability are superb on the field. Other players can always get relatively easy and profitable outings. The efficiency is definitely not low.

One side is still in the running-in period, and the other side is already running-in. All the players on the field are doing their own things. They are playing their own strengths. They are not at a disadvantage in the lineup and the competitive state is not bad. The Jazz really want not to lead. Will not work.

But I have to admit that the Rockets’ Big Three lineup is really strong, especially when the three are all on the court, even if there is no tacit and smooth cooperation with each other, only relying on the old set of tactics from last season and the star’s Individual singles still pose a big threat to the Jazz.

The key insider has Charles? Barkley’s strong point helps to share the pressure, Olajuwon’s physical fitness is relatively well maintained.

Even if the game enters the final quarter, his physical condition is still relatively good, enough to cope with the subsequent game time, this alone is very strong.

What’s more, because of Charles on the Jazz? Because of Barkley, he didn’t dare to double-team the big dream at will, which gave him a more relaxed environment for playing. It is obviously impossible to defend Olajuwon by relying on Ostertag alone…

After the inside line failed to limit the opponent’s play, a series of chain reactions appeared.

When the game entered the final three-and-a-half minutes, the Jazz only led by 8 points. It is hard to say whether it will win or lose.

Fortunately, the next ball is still in the hands of the Jazz, and they have the opportunity to continue to expand their points…

Steady possession of the ball over the half-time, glanced at his face and focused on his opponent, Stockton secretly bitter, originally thought that he was facing only a rookie who was not drafted this year in this game, should be able to have In a relaxed environment, whoever thinks things are completely different from what he expected.

This is called Matt? Maloney’s first-year rookie can occupy the starting point guard position in the Rockets as a rookie, which is indeed something. The hard work makes him a bit difficult for league veterans like him.

This is also the case this time. Just before Stockton dribbled the ball to the three-point line, Maloney went straight to the BI, and the whole person was tightly tied up, actively seeking physical confrontation, and didn’t reason with you at all. To make is to do!

To be honest, Stockton is most afraid of this kind of reckless man.

Upon seeing this, Wang Pan didn’t hesitate, and immediately stepped forward to respond. Between staggered runs, his opponent received the pass from Stockton’s hands, and the latter helped in a timely manner to block and follow the defense. For Drexler, Maloney reacted very quickly and immediately changed defense.

“Go away!” Without stopping, Wang Pan bent over and ran Maloney directly into the three-point line. The opponent could not stop being hit and staggered back for several steps before he would stabilize the center of gravity. , But it is already defensively out of position, and can no longer exert any defensive pressure, oh, no, he can still defend with his eyes.

In this situation, Wang Pan did not choose shen to get to the basket, but decisively stopped and jumped up at one step within the three-point line, staring at the basket with his eyes, his wrists turned 90 degrees, and he shot quickly. , The basketball smashed into the basket without hindrance.

Landing steadily, Wang Pan turned calmly and turned back to defense, never looking at the defender Maloney from the beginning to the end.

“This guy doesn’t look strong, why is it so powerful? H recalled that great power just now, and Maloney was secretly surprised.

Relying on Wang Pan’s mid-range shot, with three minutes and fifteen seconds left in the game, the Jazz led the Rockets by 10 points!

With a two-digit difference, Barkley’s faces are very serious.

This game is difficult!

The ball transfers, the Rockets organize an offense…

Basketball was transferred to the inside at the first time, Olajuwon caught the ball and played Ostertag, Carl? After hesitating for a while, Ma Long didn’t stop to watch this time, and immediately stepped forward to double-team.

The reaction was swift, Olajuwon immediately prepared to pass the ball to the unmarked Barkley, but after seeing Wang Pan who appeared in the middle of the pass line somehow, he let out a cold sweat and immediately changed. In the direction of the pass, the basketball was delivered to Drexler, who was unguarded from the outside.

The latter took the ball and shot, shot a three-pointer decisively, and defended the past Brian? Russell took a beat and failed to block the shot.

With a crisp sound, the basketball fell into a hollow pocket.

Hit a three-pointer, and the difference was reduced to 7 points!

Drexler waved his fist excitedly, but it was the Jazz’s fast break to greet him…

The bottom line quickly served, Wang Pan took the ball and rushed straight to the frontcourt. Drexler hurriedly chased him, just ready to tie up to apply defensive pressure and retard the advancing speed, but his heart is already ready for a violent physical peng. Preparations for the collision, but the reality is beyond his expectations, Wang Pan did not come hard this time.

“Bang~bang~bang~” The basketball jumped crazily between the fingertips and the floor. At the moment when he was about to collide with Drexler, Wang Pan turned around dexterously, and bowed from the opponent. Dodging his side, his movements were chic and elegant, and he stepped forward to continue straight to the frontcourt.

Only Maroni and Mario are left in front? Ellie’s two defenders, after looking at each other, one left and the other right, directly double-teamed forward.

The basketball quickly flew between the two of them, hit the floor heavily, bounced back, and fell into Stockton’s hands. With no defense, Old Si easily scored a layup.

The points difference widened to 9 points, and there were two minutes and fifty-five seconds left in the game!

The game continued, and it was the Rockets offensive round. There were only less than three minutes of game time left. They were 9 points behind. Offensive scoring alone was not enough. They had to try to prevent the Jazz from attacking.

But currently their primary goal is to score this goal first!


The Jazz are naturally unwilling to see their opponents score.

Wang Pan closely followed Drexler on the defensive end, constantly scanning the other four positions on the field. With the dynamic vision, all the movements of other people were under his watch, but the Rockets The team is obviously scrupulous about his ability to assist and double-defense, and Drexler specifically takes him away from the weak side of the basketball.

Obviously, he was not prepared to give Wang Pan a chance to defend the past.

The ball once again fell into the hands of Olajuwon, the Rockets who is the most stable and has the greatest matchup advantage. Ostertag stared very closely, but faced the erratic and dreamy footsteps of the big dream. , The defensive end seemed very strenuous, but the reaction was not slow. When the defense was about to lose position, he immediately chose to foul the big dream.

“Beep?!” The referee blew the whistle for the first time, because Olajuwon made a free throw because the number of fouls in this session had already arrived.

As a large center with a height of more than two meters, Da Meng, like most inside players, has a free throw percentage that is not particularly good. Generally, it fluctuates around 75%. For an inside player In other words, it’s already pretty good.

But if you put aside the position you play, it’s definitely not good.

So for Osttag’s foul choice, Jerry? Sloan said it was acceptable.

Standing on the free throw line, Olajuwon took a few deep breaths against the violent booing of the Jazz fans and the pressure from the team. After adjusting his breath, he began to free throws.

Olajuwon was slightly relieved with a smooth first penalty, but his face changed as soon as the second penalty was taken:

“Rebound!” As he shouted, Da Meng didn’t stand on the spot and watched. He also rushed to the basket, but it was still night. Osttag and Russell stuck their opponents, Carl? Malone easily accepted the rebound, raised his hand and habitually threw the basketball to the frontcourt.

He knew that with Wang Pan’s reaction speed and judgment of the situation, the moment Olajuwon missed a free throw, he must have rushed straight to the frontcourt.

I have to admit that Lao Ma really knows Wang Pan.

“The Rockets jumped up from the three-point line and took the basketball from the air. As soon as they landed, Wang Pan dribbled the ball from the right hand to the left hand, turning around and avoiding Dray. Xler’s stealing action, and then under the gaze of the opponent’s shocked expression, he bowed inwardly.

“Don’t think about the past!” He gritted his teeth and forcibly changed his body’s center of gravity. Drexler retreated abruptly, but the next scene that appeared in his eyes made him helpless.



What a special point!

I saw that Wang Pan just took a step in the fake action. He immediately stopped and then retreated back to the three-point line. Without stopping 433, he could only watch his shot and defend because he couldn’t change his center of gravity immediately. Drexler, who couldn’t do anything, quickly shot a three-pointer.

Maloney, who made up the defense, slowed down by two beats. He just came after him, and before he took off, Wang Pan’s shot was completed.

The basketball spins clearly in the air, flying over a very high arc, and slamming into the basket without any stumbling.

With a three-pointer, the Jazz extended the gap to the goal.

One goal determines the world and helps the team establish a winning trend!

“At the critical moment, Brother Wang was really not soft at all. This three-pointer was really deadly. At least half of the Rockets’ morale was knocked out!” “The Rockets have actually played very well in this game, just like Zhang Guiding. Having said that, the strength of the three superstar players in their starting lineup is really too strong, no team can limit three at the same time, not to mention the defense is not even the top Jazz.”

“Although the Rockets’ performance is good, the Jazz obviously have to be better, especially Wang. There is no player on the court that can limit his performance. In and out of the game, this game is finally 30 minutes. Up.”

“You need power and strength, speed and speed, technology and technology, and good looks and good looks. Who can’t you say that you don’t love this kind of Wang brother?”

“Well, I have watched three games eagerly. I want to know now, can the shoes on Brother Wang’s feet be bought in China?”

“I heard that it is possible. The Rock Generation will be sold simultaneously worldwide, but I don’t know when the specific release time will be, but I have to say that these shoes are really beautiful. I will definitely buy a pair by then.”

“I also want to buy a pair. The feeling of playing with these shoes is definitely very good. It feels like being integrated with Wang Pan.”

U 99 can be seen from the fact that domestic fans gradually shifted the focus of communication from the game to Wang Pan sneakers. It can be seen that the Jazz team has stabilized in this game.

The Rockets held on to the last second, but with Jerry? Sloan replaced Hornacek, who had had enough rest, on the court. Except for Ostertag, who was responsible for the bottom line serve, the Jazz no longer had a second penalty black hole. Barkley who was preparing to implement foul tactics really felt that despair.

It feels like giving points to anyone who fouls, which is too difficult.

It’s impossible to win this game.

In the end, relying on Wang Pan’s key three-pointers in the final stage, the audience also had an excellent performance of 32 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. In addition, Ma Ma 28 points, Lao Huo 15 points, Lao Si 1 2 points and 12 times. The same excellent performance of assists. The Jazz won the Rockets of the Big Three at home. The new season has won three consecutive victories and the morale is extremely high…? …
