Chapter 93 : Surprise again, perfect rhythm, second eight-game winning streak of the season

Regarding Wang Pan missed two three-pointers in a row, this game has already missed four three-pointers. With a shooting rate of 0%, this time he still dared to shoot three-pointers and finally made basketball. For the brave sent to the basket, the home team fans and spectators all gave face-saving applause.

Of course, a large part of this is due to the fact that Wang Pan finally made the ball. If three consecutive shots are missed and the rebound is still controlled by the opponent, the counterattack will make the score even worse. If you shrink, then they will start spraying. It’s such a reality and can’t make a shot. “Don’t worry about missed shots. Next time you have a chance, you will boldly shoot. We now have an advantage inside, even if you missed the shot. , We can also grab the rebounds.” In the process of returning to defense, Carl? Ma Long patted Wang Pan on the shoulder, telling seriously…

Ostertag nodded from the side, as if to say… I also meant the same.

He nodded heavily. Wang Pan said that he knew that his heart was warm. When he entered the league, there were a group of teammates who supported him like this, and a team eldest brother was always around to help him. This feeling is really true. It’s nice and warm.

At this time, relying on his just three-pointer, the score on the field came to 92:85, and the Jazz led the Rockets by 7 points.

The game continued, the Rockets had the ball, Wang Pan immediately adopted a defensive approach to Drexler, but the opponent seemed to have made up his mind in this game and didn’t want to fight with him. They made three points. Steady possession of the ball outside the line, waiting for his teammates to come forward to help pick-and-rolls, then began to break through and get rid of Wang Pan’s marking.

He rushed towards Ostertag…

But this time, there was no foul, an unexpected jump shot was taken, and the Jazz was caught off guard.

However, the shot seemed to be a bit anxious, and the feel itself was relatively ordinary, the basketball popped out of the basket.

DUANG!

The current highest point on the Rockets field is Robert at 2.06 meters? Horry and Mark? Bryant, when Marlon Ostertag got stuck at the basket for the first time, the two really couldn’t get a rebound.

In the internal competition, the factor of height is undoubtedly extremely important, one inch tall, one inch strong, not 20 nonsense.

If you don’t have an opponent to grow taller, then you have to play harder and stronger than your opponent.

Unfortunately, the Rockets’ two big insiders do not have these favorable factors and are at a disadvantage in all aspects.

It’s easy to see who is strong and who is weak inside the current field…

The Jazz protected the backcourt and launched a counterattack.

Hornacek dribbled the ball forward, Wang Pan used his speed advantage to quickly get rid of Mario? With the distance of three positions of Ellie, he raised his hand and received the pass in the middle. The free-throw line immediately stopped and shot, and the basketball smashed into the basket without any stumbling.

CIC hit, the score came to 94:85, the point difference further expanded to 9 points.

Compared to three-pointers, Wang Pan’s mid-range shooting can be said to be a little more robust!

This kind of shooting without much interference just now can be said to be one shot per shot.

At this time, seeing the point difference has been expanded to 9 points, Rockets coach Rudy? Tomjanovic frowned and glanced at Olajuwon’s sweaty appearance, who was staring at the situation on the court with a serious expression. He didn’t choose to substitute immediately and was ready to observe another round.

The Rockets organized the offense, and Cassell made a wide-foot three-pointer to receive the ball. He carried Hornacek on his back and pushed forward for several steps. He was ready to turn around and shoot, David? Bennott stepped forward to double-team, and the alien hurriedly passed the ball.

Mario? Eli catches the ball and shoots.

The basketball fell into the pocket and scored two points. The difference was reduced to 7 points.

This ball is very important, the Rockets will be able to stabilize their mentality and situation.

However, in the next offensive round, Wang Pan once again took the ball in the middle, causing Cassel to follow Mario behind him? Ellie changed his expressions one after another, accelerated his pace and rushed forward, jumping up and preparing to block, but with this shot, Wang Pan did not choose to attack on his own, but calmly and very calmly passed it to the unmarked outside the three-point line. Hornacek.

Recruitment: I Yan ”

For Wang Pan’s accurate pass, Lao Huo expressed his satisfaction. He didn’t need to make any adjustments at all. Raising his hand was a three-pointer.

Looking at the arc of basketball in the sky, Cassell, who is very good at three-pointers in the Rockets, and Kenny on the bench? Smith’s expression changed drastically.

The result confirmed their guess, the basketball hit a hollow, the Jazz added another three points.

The point difference widened to 10 points!

The double-digit score difference puts a lot of psychological pressure on the Rockets players.

At this moment, Rockets coach Rudy finally couldn’t help it, and immediately called a timeout, and made some adjustments to the team’s lineup.

Olajuwon + Robert? Horry + Drexler + Sam? Kassel + Kenny? Smith… This is already the strongest lineup that the Rockets can currently field. Jerry? Sloan did not have a big team, but also sent the strongest lineup in the team, which is Ostertag + Carl? Ma Long + Wang Pan + Hornacek + Stockton! Wang Pan topped the small forward position and faced Drexler.

With seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds left in the game, the Rockets have the ball.

Basketball was transferred to the inside at the first time. Olajuwon’s footsteps and rhythm are all top-level, Ostertag was quickly swayed, but remember Jerry? Instructed by Sloan, he was very restrained and did not give the opponent a chance to easily commit a foul.



Carl a few steps away? Malone stepped forward to make up the defense at the first time. Olajuwon had no intention of passing the ball. He still chose to play hard, flashing around, forcibly turning out of the shot space, picking the basket and hitting, which is also the same as the physical flexibility. No one, no wonder he can become the first of the four major centers.

Even the talented Shaquille? O’Neal has been stabilised by him.

The point difference was reduced to 8 points, and the game continued.

Carl? Malone singles Robert with the ball back? Horry, after a few strokes to find the feeling and rhythm, he turned over and shot a jumper, Robert? Horry guarded very seriously, but still failed to prevent Malone from scoring.

Too robust!

The point difference returned to 10 points.

It seems that Malone evoked the intent to fight. Olajuwon took the ball for the first time on the offensive end, and once again used his dreamy footsteps, so that Ostertag’s mother almost disappeared, and he was confused. Can organize a useful defense without even knowing when the opponent scored.

The contrast narrowed to 8 points again.

The Jazz attacked, Malone and Stowe got the pass in the pick-and-roll, and shot directly from the frame.

Hit again, Carl? Ma Long waved his elbow in excitement, and threw out a sentimental postman, unstoppable.

This is the fact. In the subsequent rounds of match-ups, both teams consciously passed the ball to their own core players to deal with. Olajuwon singled Ostertag. He really wanted to fight each other with accuracy and efficiency. Odd high.

But on the Jazz side, Carl? Malone is also a good hit rate, facing Carl who is in good shape? Malone, Robert? Horry has no good solutions.

Wang Pan completely became a spectator outside the three-point line. The two insiders met, he must not be able to get in, and he was not without emotion: “Awesome, both of them are super amazing. I didn’t feel any gap. This was only his first season in the Lian League. Whether it was Malone or Olajuwon, they have played in the league for more than a dozen seasons. The skills have been polished to the extreme, and the game experience is even more incomparable. He certainly couldn’t compare with the richness of it.

However, when they were in the first grade, they didn’t necessarily play well by themselves.

And in two more seasons, Wang Pan is confident that he should be able to reach this level.

At that time, he will no longer be just a bastard.

It is naturally impossible for other people on the court to know what Wang Pan was thinking at this time. Everyone’s attention was focused on Olajuwon and Ma Long, who were focused on the points.

This can be regarded as a major feature of the NBA in this era. The head coaches of each team will not limit their own core players’ ambitions. The premise is that they can maintain a high scoring efficiency and lead the team to victory in the game. .

As long as you can win, everything is easy to say.

If you can’t win, then stop thinking about scoring…you are not worthy!

In this game, Malone and Olajuwon can be said to have lived up to expectations, and the efficiency is very good. They fought for nearly four minutes in a row, and the audience and fans were hooked. In the end, they each scored 10 points, which is considered a fight. It was a tie, the point difference was still 10 points, and the Jazz took the lead.

For this result, the Jazz is definitely acceptable here. With only three minutes and twenty-five seconds left in the game, they were 10 points ahead of their opponents. No matter how they look at it, they have an advantage. The hope of winning this game is very high. big.

The Rockets on the trailing side definitely couldn’t accept the result of losing the game, so Rudy directly called a timeout and made some adjustments to the team’s tactics. The lineup of the two sides has not changed much, maintaining the original state.

The game continues and the Rockets have the ball.

Cassell took the ball in high position, played Hornacek with his back, and passed the basketball to Kenny who ran out of the baseline when the timing was right? Smith.

The key shot, Kenny? Smith made a decisive three-pointer, without a slight advantage, showing the excellent qualities a shooter should have.



Whenever he hesitated just now and gave Stockton, who was catching up, a chance to block, this shot would have to be disturbed, and his shooting rate would definitely be affected. But obviously, he didn’t make the mistake that most players might make.

A steady three-pointer, Kenny? Smith used his big heart performance to help the team narrow the point difference to 7 points.

The ball is back in the hands of the Jazz…

Stockton has the ball, Hornacek and Kassel Jiu entangled endlessly. No surprise, the inside is reduced to “Colosseum Tuk Olajuwon’s replacement of Karl Malone? The confrontation is endless, Ostertag and Robert Horry’s eyes widened, both eyes were [You don’t come here again]…

As for Wang Pan, Drexler was watching him closely. This was the first time since the beginning of the final quarter that the opponent had so actively guarded him.

“Don’t avoid me anymore?” Wang Pan whispered.

Hearing that, Drexler’s face was calm as usual: “I have never avoided you.”

“What you say is what you say”

During the words, he raised his hand and received the Mu ball. Drexler, who was in Wang Pan’s body, hurriedly stepped back a step and a half and put out his defensive posture, typical of anti-penetration but not anti-shooting.

“Are you serious about taking a step and a half back?” Wang Pan curled his lips.

Drexler still had that calm appearance, and he nodded slightly in response.

Seeing that he couldn’t distract his opponent with words, Wang Pan didn’t have to spend much time and didn’t choose to shoot three pointers. With Olajuwon on the court, the chances of them grabbing offensive rebounds are not high. After dribbling the ball twice, he started suddenly and bowed straight from the opponent’s side to the basket.

De 307 Rexler stood firmly and jammed the route that Wang Pan was advancing.

Just about to apply physical confrontation and defensive pressure, I found that Wang Pan actually chose to make an emergency stop at a step within the three-point line and assumed a posture to shoot.

“Don’t even think about shooting!” Forcibly twisting his body and striding forward, Drexler raised his right hand and prepared to block Wang Pan’s shot.

The scene that greeted his eyes narrowed his eyes.

I saw that Wang Pan didn’t close the ball with both hands. He was holding the basketball with his right hand. His left hand was just a virtual grip and didn’t really touch the basketball. Naturally, his shot was just a flickering shot. Worship Buddha!

After the emergency stop, the rapid start again, the rhythm is perfect, Wang Pan successfully broke through Drexler’s defense, unguarded, did not continue to SHEN in, the steady mid-range shot, to help the team again Adding two points, the difference widened to 9 points.

“This breakthrough rhythm…” As a match-up defender, Drexler can be said to have most profoundly felt the situation of Wang Pan’s breakthrough just now. He can’t help feeling: “Perfect. I haven’t seen you in just a few days. Becoming stronger!” In the last duel, Wang Pan could only rely on his body to beat and dash, and this time he could already eat himself with almost perfect rhythm.

Really fuck!

Not just Drexler, the Jazz players, and even the head coach Jerry? Sloan was also surprised.

When did you practice it? !

Why haven’t you seen it before Wang Pan used it? !

Of course, these are not important. What is important is that Wang Pan has become stronger again, and the overall strength of the team has also become stronger!

A defender who has the ability to break through and can pass the ball very accurately can play a considerable role on the court.

It seemed that he was going to investigate whether Wang Pan’s breakthrough ability was really advancing by leaps and bounds. Stockton sent the ball to Wang Pan’s hands one after another in the next round, allowing him to singles Drexler and Rockets. The team was very cooperative and did not send anyone forward to double-team.

No way, the Jazz now has no offensive threat except Osttag. Everyone else has a good scoring ability. It’s not suitable for anyone. You tell Robert Horry to give up defending Osttag. To double-team Wang Pan, then with Wang Pan’s passing ability and vision, I must pass the ball the first time. Ostertag’s autonomous offensive ability is relatively weak, but this kind of large open space is still pretty stable.

A shooting guard who can shoot and pass, you can stand it.

The threat of Wang Pan can be said to be a step up!

In the end, four consecutive single-on-one-on-one against Drexler, Wang Pan hit three of them, helping the team secure the victory.

Winning the Rockets at home again, the team’s record came to 16 wins and 1 loss, after being defeated by the Pistons before unbeaten gold, once again won 8 consecutive victories! .
