Chapter 631: The disappearing pass, this is the rhythm of losing

On the Lakers side, Shaquille O’Neal remained on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, and the inside partner was replaced by Robert Horry, small former Rick Fox, and shooting guard Kobe Bryant. Still on the court, the point guard was replaced by Derek Fisher.

The frantic breakthrough lasted for nearly a whole quarter, and Ronnie Fields was in great need of physical energy and was in urgent need of rest.

This lineup retains the core combination of the inside and outside lines, and the three auxiliary players have clear characteristics.

The attention shifted to the Jazz, and the lineup was also adjusted. Wang He still stayed on the court and formed the team’s backline partner with Brian Russell, Peja Stofekovic. Acting as the team’s small forward, the inside is led by Big Ben and Rashard Lewis.

Obviously it is more inclined to attack!

“Wow!”

A whistle sounded and the game continued. Because the Lakers won the jump ball in the first quarter, the Jazz had the ball right at the beginning of the second quarter.

Wang Pan played the role of a point guard 843, dribbling the ball past the half court, just outside the three-point line, Kobe pressed forward, and the whole person was almost posted, but Wang Xin was not given an easy start. Chance.

But the threat is really very limited!

Although Kobe’s current ability is good, his physical quality is stronger than that of ordinary guards in the league, but he is completely incomparable with Wang Pan.

Without fussing, Wang Zheng bowed and forcibly ran over Kobe Bryant and broke into the three-point line. In the blink of an eye, he was already inside the free throw line. O’Neal greeted him with open arms, and the other players on the Lakers team also They all focused their attention on the king crab.

Wang Pan, who knows this very well, raised the corner of his mouth slightly upwards, making a personal attack, but in fact he chose to pass the ball.

And he quickly threw the basketball out from an extremely hidden angle.

Disappearing pass!

All the Lakers couldn’t help but be stunned for a second. When they reacted, Rashad Lewis, who was standing on the outside, jumped up to catch the ball and made a three-pointer.

“what!”

The three-pointer was hit steadily. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz took the lead. The current score was 39:33, and the score difference reached 6 points.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Lakers to admit defeat, and they immediately launched a counterattack. O’Neal was backed by Big Ben to ask for the ball. The expected double-team did not appear. The Jazz just let Big Ben mark the Sharks alone, and the two were in the basket. Under the passionate hand-to-hand combat.

The sound of muscles colliding constantly, but Big Ben’s height is still too short. Facing O’Neal’s hook, there is really no good way. He can only watch the basketball shoot and watch it fall into the basket. within.

Hook hit!

The bottom line was fast, and the Jazz organized a fast break. Wang Zheng took the ball and turned and ran to the front court. Kobe followed closely. It took several steps to stabilize the body’s center of gravity, with discomfort written all over his face.

As soon as he arrived outside the Lakers’ three-point line, Wang Pan just jumped up and made a three-pointer.

The basketball was hurried and spun, and under everyone’s attention, it smashed into the basket hollow.

“~!

The three-pointer was hit again, and the second quarter opened with two three-pointers, and the Jazz were on the offensive.

Seeing this scene, Phil Jackson can’t help frowning. He is not a head coach who likes to shout and command from the sidelines. He prefers to sit on the bench, plan strategies and win thousands of miles. He couldn’t stand the game.

Going further, this game is likely to end early.

Knowing this, Master Zen stood up directly, and under the surprised gazes of the Lakers players, he began to command from the sidelines.

However, the effect is not great.

Because the Lakers’ current main problem has not been solved, that is, the defensive end can’t prevent the Jazz’s multi-point attack, and it can’t limit Wang Xin’s performance.

This directly led to the fact that even though they could rely on O’Neal’s excellent performance on the offensive end, they could hold on to the score, but because they couldn’t defend, the score not only did not get closer, but instead expanded.

Relying on O’Neal alone, it is obviously impossible to compare with the efficient scorers of the Jazz.

The game thus fell into an endless loop. Even if the Jazz did not do well on the defensive end, they still suppressed the Lakers steadily by relying on their superior performance in scoring efficiency. The difference is widened.

If the game continues like this, the Lakers have a high probability of losing.

This is still in the case of Phil Jackson giving his old face to command loudly on the sidelines, otherwise the situation will only get worse.

In desperation, Zen Master can only replace all the starting lineup in advance.

The difference is that this time Jerry Sloan did not follow the substitution. He felt that the team’s current lineup was enough to cope with the next situation, just enough to consume another wave of O’Neal’s physical fitness.

That’s exactly what he did.

Everything is as expected, the Jazz’s defensive performance is indeed getting worse and worse, but in the face of the Lakers’ main lineup, their offense is still very efficient, which is very strong.

Seeing this, many fans and viewers can’t help but sigh that the Lakers are going to lose the rhythm.
