All-Around Forward Swingman

Or Carl Malone told Stockton that he would join another team next season and win the championship ring, and Stockton retired. In short, both Jazz careers ended in 2003.

It is also worth mentioning that their old opponent Michael Jordan also announced his retirement in 2003.

Fans saw Carl Malone and Stockton on camera applause and cheers erupted. This is dedicated to them, idols of 20 years of youth, although they did not bring a championship to Salt Lake City, but every year they enter the league, they can bring the team to the playoffs.

Utah has dominated the league in black and white for 20 years, reaching the Western Conference Finals many times and the NBA Finals twice. In the hearts of countless people in Salt Lake City, these two are the symbols of the Utah Jazz.

This little episode passed quickly, and everyone turned their attention back to tonight's game. Yang Shan's dunk in honor of Carl Malone gave the Rockets the lead.

Even if this is Malone's signature action, Jazz fans still feel uncomfortable. What they want is for the team to lead and defeat the Rockets to enter the Western Conference Finals.

It's a pity that their wish is good, but it is very difficult to implement it.

Yang Shan didn't want to delay the game any longer. In the next game, Yang Shan first focused on passing the ball, but he found that his teammates were not in good condition.

In desperation, he had to rush alone, and Yang Shan didn't rely on the cover of the players, and he just made a strong breakthrough alone. Once Yang Shan gets aggressive, it's not Rooney Brewer who can defend.

Although Yang Shan and Brewer are about the same height and weight, Yang Shan's strength and speed are not comparable to Brewer's.

Jazz fans felt more and more frustrated as Yang Shan entered the penalty area again and again, scoring goals or causing damage.

Before the official timeout, Boozer came back to the bench with two fouls again. Coach Sloan had no choice but to replace Paul Millsap. Boozer can't even defend the protagonist, and Millsap can't even do it.

The other players of the Rockets were not in good physical condition, but the protagonist insisted on supporting the game by himself, scoring 18 points in the first quarter, and scoring 2 of the team's 26 points in the second quarter.

At the end of halftime, Yang Shan had scored 38 points, the entire Rockets scored only 50 points, while the Jazz scored only 43 points.

Looking at the tired Yang Shan, Coach Sloan felt that they had a chance to win this game!

During the intermission, Coach Sloan said in the locker room: ""This game is the closest I feel to victory. The other players of the Rockets don't feel good, and they always rely on Yang Shan to score. But Salt Lake City is not so easy to conquer, Andre you defend Yang Shan in the third quarter. Consume as much energy as possible from him!"

Sloan looked at Kirilenko and said.

Kirilenko nodded, he also (Nuo Lihao) felt that Yang Shan was exhausted physically.

On the other side of the Rockets' locker room, Adelman looked at Yang Shan who was panting heavily, and then at the other players who were also tired. He originally wanted to reprimand the players, but he couldn't say a word.

This is not the fault of the players. The plateau climate in Salt Lake City determines that it will consume more energy to play here. Fortunately, they have the home court advantage. Even if they win two cities in Salt Lake City, they will still have two home field. .
