Harris holding a tactical board was a bit at a loss. The tactics he prepared were ruthlessly broken by the Jazz at the beginning. The 6-0 start is not terrible, what is terrible is that the Lakers defense has no way to take the Jazz offense.

It can be said that let the game continue to develop like this. The Jazz can use a pick-and-roll to shoot a 60% hit rate on the Lakers’ head, which the Lakers can’t catch up with on the offensive end.

Bryant took the tactical board from Harris and yelled in a low voice: “Listen guys, we no longer force around the pick and roll, which gives them too much space to shoot. We play unlimited defense! If the pick and roll is replaced, the defense is changed. ”

“But who can guard against our outside line after Malone picks and rolls?”

“I’m here.” Kobe’s eyes flashed. Kobe wasn’t excited for a while. This was the best way to defend the Jazz after his deliberations. As long as Bryant can limit Malone to less than 50% shooting, the Lakers have a chance to win.

“Big Ben, you replace Campbell. I need Ben you can’t stop it, picking up and dislocating Stockton. Can you do it?”

“Absolutely!”

Kobe has been preparing for the Jazz for a very long time, because Kobe knows. The Lakers want to break through from the west, the biggest opponent is not Olajuwon, but the Jazz!

Don’t worry too much about the offensive end, O’Neill and Kobe cannot be powered off at the same time. As long as it can prevent the Jazz’s pick-and-roll or limit it, the Lakers with a double-star shine have a good chance of winning the game.

Harris looked at Kobe, who slammed Fang Qi, but did not stop it. He saw how much Kobe wanted to win. If this game was lost, he should pay the tuition to the young people.

“Guys! Do what Kobe said.” Harris made an affirmative voice, and his support made the players let go of their concerns.

Back to the court, the Lakers have the ball. In the tremendous roar of the Delta Center Arena, Bryant advanced the ball.

“Italian nigga! Roll back to Philadelphia!”

“Mao Changqi will come out to play again!”

“You are Shaq’s XX!”

The voice of the fans here is still so fragrant, Kobe very much agrees with the proposal of later generations James to limit the audience’s insult to players on the sidelines. Although Kobe does not care what these people say, he even enjoys playing in this malicious atmosphere.

Perhaps these insults will make other players’ mentality abnormal, but Kobe will not. He has long been accustomed to it, and he has heard the harsh words.

Stockton stared at the ball-controlling Kobe. The thriving boy broke through very quickly, and Stockton didn’t dare to carelessly.

Kobe couldn’t break through Stockton of 1.85 meters head-on, his center of gravity was too low, and his speed and strength were also sufficient. But Kobe had another way. He called O’Neal to pick up the pick-and-roll and then gave it to the down O’Neal. O’Neal hung a layup from Stockton and Ostertag.

“We will also pick and roll.” Bryant said to Stockton.

Stockton frowned. He was a little surprised that Bryant played so mature. What surprised him even more was that when Stockton dribbled past halftime and played a pick-and-roll with Malone, Bryant actually took the initiative to switch defense with Ben Wallace.

Kobe single defense Malone!

This kid is looking for death? This is the first sentence in Stockton and Malone’s mind. The two eyes meet to quickly determine the point of this ball singles Kobe.

Ma Long put his left hand to the rear, his center of gravity sank, and Kobe stuck firmly behind him. Just about to get to the position, Stockton’s pass came to Malone’s hands as if he had installed navigation.

Malone’s back singles are not top-level, his scoring methods are mainly mid-range and down, but this does not mean that he will not back.

Malone catches the ball, leaning back slightly, feeling Kobe’s strength, but not leaning on anything.

Kobe’s hand rests on Malone’s crotch. This position is very clever. It can predict the force of Malone’s force, and because the center of gravity is lowered, it can better force.

Malone adjusted the center of gravity, leaning back against Kobe and dribbling the ball forward.

Damn! This power! Kobe Bryant retreated one after another, and Malone’s power caused repression to the young Kobe. Malone advanced all the way. Kobe was continuously knocked away, and then clenched his teeth and stuck to it again.

Kobe stared closely at Malone’s movements. He knew that Malone didn’t dare to advance all the way to the restricted area. O’Neill’s assisted defense was waiting for him in the restricted area.

As long as it is not the shot of the restricted area, there is the possibility of interference!

Malone sat back hard and turned the jump shot.

what?

Malone looked at the air, and Kobe, who should have been knocked away, still flew up the cover, and he couldn’t help but stunned!

Once Kobe was knocked open, he forced to adjust the center of gravity and flew up, the interference was successful! The ball missed.

“Karl?” Stockton looked at this misplaced singles and missed a chance. He couldn’t help but wonder.

Ma Long took a deep breath, this kid is really tenacious enough, can’t he get rid of him like this?

“John, mine. The ball won’t work.”

Kobe panted, continuous collisions and rushes made him unable to participate in the fast break, but fortunately Eddie Jones received O’Neal’s pass and made a layup.

Malone’s power is really unique. Kobe has defended Garnett and Duncan. Kobe feels that they are far behind!

It was a fluke that the ball was defended. Although it interfered, the interference was not large, and Malone did not have a big fluke component.

“John! Come again!” Malone roared, picking and picking up with Stockton again, pushing Kobe Bryant down to a low position.

Kobe struggled continuously and tried to get around, and all ended in failure. Malone’s card position ability and strength suppressed Kobe too much ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ This can not be solved with skill and experience.

This ball Malone chose a more stable style of play. In the age of no back for 5 seconds, he slowly advanced. One step at a time, he hit Kobe hard.

Kobe Bryant did not persevere, and was immediately posted again when it was knocked open, and again was posted and posted again.

O’Neill chose the bag, he couldn’t stand it anymore, let Ostertag rush up, Malone threw the ball into the basket, but was quickly intercepted by Bruce Bowen who was quickly replaced.

“Counterattack!” Bryant and Eddie Jones opened their wings straight to the Jazz half. Bowen passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe threw the ball high.

Empty dunk!

Edi Jones stretched his body in the air and dunked the ball.

“Karl? Didn’t you eat?” Kobe’s words made Malone angry. He was anxious to give Kobe a response, dancing his big iron elbow after picking and dropping the position, Kobe turned his head back, and escaped.

Ma Long saw that his iron elbow was useless. He plucked his buttocks and went to the inside.

Kobe turned sideways, let Malone’s impact, flutter, Malone dropped the ball!

Defensive success again! The Lakers counterattacked and Jazz Sloan announced a timeout!

Kobe was panting, he didn’t expect to be able to defend Malone continuously. In his opinion, a little restriction is a good ending. But Malone gave Kobe a chance!

Malone’s three offensives against Kobe all ended in failure. Although there was a fluke element, Sloan did not dare to continue to allow the impatient Malone to continue singles.

Sloan believed this was just an accident, but he needed to adjust his offensive tactics.

“John, you come to clean up Wallace.”

“Okay.” Stockton’s eyes flashed away.
