My Name is Kobe Bryant

Utah, Delta Center Arena!

This is the famous home stadium of the Devils! It has the most fanatical fans in the United States!

The fans wore light gray and blue short-sleeved shirts and cheered loudly! Their team lost two games to the Lakers!

0:2 behind!

Once we lose this game at home and lose 0:3, the series will be over!

And if we can defend two home games, drag the game to 2:2, and have a battle at Tianwang Mountain, then everything will be hard to say.

Many teams that started 2:0 were overturned in the first away game.

Even the Lakers players who were still preparing for the game in the locker room heard these shouts. These Jazz fans are going crazy!

"This Jazz game! There will definitely be a big change!" Harris drew circles on the whiteboard.

"No matter how they change their formation or tactics, we stick to our routine!"

"First half! Kobe mainly breaks through and makes the ball! Everyone must play as a team, and the shooters will try to hit a lot of three-pointers to open up the score!"

"In the second half, whoever has the better touch, Kobe or Shaq, will take over the game!"

"Maintaining the status quo!"

As the leading side, Harris will certainly not get into trouble. All he has to do is wait for the Jazz to change.

Seeing the Jazz's tactics clearly, it doesn't matter much even if they are pulled back. Harris still has a king bomb in his hand that he has not yet played! All this game has to do is see what Jerry Sloan’s cards are.

Then adjust your tactics at the most appropriate time! A fatal blow, harvesting the series!

"The starting lineups for both sides are out!"

"The Jazz changed their lineup! Starting point guard - Stockton, shooting guard - Richmond, small forward - Russell, power forward - Chris Morris, center - Karl Malone!!! "

"Karl Malone appears at center!"

"The world's number one power forward! Change his playing position! He will compete with Shark O'Neal at the center position!"

"The rigid Jerry Sloan makes an amazing change!"

"Power forward Chris Morris was the No. 4 pick in 1988, with a peak 15+5 2.03-meter forward! Using him to defend Horry will be even better than Malone!"

"On the other side, can Malone guard O'Neal?"

"Or maybe they have no intention of defending at all! The Jazz are going all out to compete with the OK Lakers by relying on offense alone!"

Not guarding O'Neal?

That's impossible. The offense at the basket is not as good as outside. If you really don't defend O'Neal, then O'Neal can hit 60+ with a shooting rate of more than 80%!

Jerry Sloan gave up the double-team on Kobe!

The ensuing defensive strategy is to double-team O'Neal!

In desperation, Jerry Sloan finally gave up on the defensive arrangement against Kobe because he found that no matter how he arranged it, there was still no way to contain Kobe.

If Sloan had Payton and Garnett, maybe he could try to double-team Kobe.

But now Richmond's physical fitness cannot support his continued performance on the offensive and defensive ends. Russell was beaten through again when facing Kobe!

That being the case!

Then go on the offensive!

Double-team O'Neal!

Put Malone at the center and let Richmond and Malone play a pick-and-roll tactic that the Sharks are least willing to defend!

The offensive space opened up will be amazing!

In the first battle, the Jazz lost!

And the Jazz, who have the home court bonus, must win this game!

"Three-pointer! Malone pulled outside the three-point line! But O'Neal was hesitant, not knowing whether to save or shrink the defense! Malone directly penetrated Yang in three-pointers!"

"So accurate! Malone made 6 of 8 three-pointers in this game! In such a critical situation in G3, the Postman broke out today! His shooting completely defeated O'Neal's defense!"

"When Popovich developed tactics against the Lakers' defense, the combination of a short point guard + a shooting center has become popular! This is the best way to deal with the unsolvable Sharks! And when Malone appeared at the center position, then he is the strongest pitcher at this position!"

"I'll beat your lungs out!" O'Neal vomited!

You are a power forward! Running to play center? Still shooting outside the three-point line?

If you don’t talk about martial ethics, you won’t be able to win without martial arts!

The duo of Richmond and Malone is still the Jazz's most important offensive method, followed by Malone's support from outside the three-point line to create space for pitchers.

And in any of these attacks, Malone is almost always in a state of being undefended!

O'Neal has lost his defensive ability outside the penalty area after gaining weight. There are gains and losses. When O'Neal gained weight, his explosive power and speed were maintained, but his lateral speed is now almost the weakest in the NBA!

This kind of lateral movement to the outside line has a high probability of being passed by in one step! He will become the biggest backdrop for the defenders and is as proud as a shark. How can he tolerate his glorious image being affected.

Shrinking defense is a must! It is impossible in this life to pull outside defensive guards and switch to pick-and-rolls!

So O'Neal became Malone's best target.

Last season, Malone Malone increased his three-point shooting. As the strongest shooter at the power forward position, after two seasons of training, his three-point shooting has gradually improved!

In the regular season, he was able to score 1.8 goals with a shooting rate of 36.1%. In the playoffs, facing a tighter defense, he averaged 2.4 goals per game with a shooting rate of 40.2%!

This is a very amazing number! Especially considering that he is also an inside player!

Pulling out to shoot three-pointers is a point that Malone has been criticized by many media commentators this season. In their opinion, the power forward should rush inside to fight hand-to-hand! That's a real man!

This is also the reason why Malone is so behind in the MVP selection this season. Ranked second in the league in wins, but only ranked fifth in MVP. This is something Malone can't understand.

In this game, almost all doubts about Malone's three-pointers were dispelled!

End of the third quarter! The Jazz have scored 107 points under the leadership of Malone! Malone scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in three quarters! Richmond scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists!

cast!

The Lakers were almost killed by the Jazz!

When O'Neal shrinks the basket, Bowen can only choose between guarding Richmond or switching to guard Malone!

As Hall of Fame players, Malone and Richmond must either find open people to complete the offense!

Or take the opportunity to fight Bowen alone!

Can't help it! After Malone played center, this Jazz really played a historical level of unsolvable offense! This means that Stockton was sealed by Kobe. If not, the Jazz would now be heading towards the highest score in a single game in the playoffs!

The Lakers only scored 91 points!

16 points difference! Entering the fourth quarter!
