All-in-one Sign

The Jazz, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a team founded in 1974 and joined the NBA in the same year.

But when it was first established, it was not in Salt Lake City, but in New Orleans.

Yes, it's the New Orleans you're thinking of. This brand of grilled chicken wings is very famous in China, but there are actually no grilled wings in New Orleans.

Since 1983, this team has entered the playoffs every year, and this record will last for 19 years. It can be regarded as an out-and-out strong team in the league.

Especially in 1997 and 1998, the Utah Jazz reached the Finals for two consecutive years. Then, they were beaten to the ground by the Bulls led by Jordan for two consecutive years, achieving two consecutive NBA Finals.

Anyway, you can't beat the old gangster Bulls even if you make it to the finals, so why go to all the trouble? I'll do a good job and let you make it to the playoffs.

"Losing three games in a row, then go home to fish and enjoy the leisurely vacation."

Standing on the basketball court, before the game started, Xu Ang said this to Ma Long, who was looking at him with a fierce look.

Two thick breaths came out of his nostrils, and Ma Long responded: "Boy, don't be so crazy. I will let you taste Uncle Ma Long's iron elbow later."

Malone's iron elbows seem to be a famous weapon in the NBA. It is said that those who fall under these iron elbows are not unknown people.

"You want to show off your elbows to me?"

Xu Ang gave Ma Long an intriguing smile.

"I'm waiting for your iron elbow."

Ma Long was secretly angry. A newcomer dared to challenge him. Today, this Chinese man couldn't even think of walking off the court. Uncle Ma Long had to let him lie down.

"Du~~~!"

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

As Xu Ang expected, Ben's jump ball failed and the ball was slapped towards Malone by the opponent's player.

With Ma Long's reaction, he should have been able to catch it, but he was distracted by Xu Ang's provocation and his reaction was half a beat too slow.

If his opponent had been someone else, this would not have been a mistake, but his opponent was Xu Ang, and being half a beat too slow would have been fatal. Just as Malone's hand was about to touch the ball, a black shadow passed by him and intercepted the basketball.

not good!

Ma Long felt something bad in his heart. He was about to give chase, but as soon as he took a step forward, he saw that the opponent had already taken off.

"Don't let him pass the ball."

Malone shouted.

Experience tells Malone that when the opponent takes off like this near the midline, it cannot be a shot, it can only be a pass.

But the facts tell Malone that your experience is not accurate enough.

The basketball drew a graceful curve in the air, and then plunged into the basket with a crisp sound.

A shot from the center line and a hollow goal!

Ma Long called it bad luck.

No matter how lucky the other party is, he can get in this way.

But, is it really just luck?

If this game was played at the Treasure Ship Arena in Los Angeles, Los Angeles fans would tell Malone that the mid-range long shot that hit the net was not luck, but Xu Ang's routine operation.

In this era when the NBA does not pay much attention to three-pointers, stars and head coaches of other teams regard three-point shooters as tool shooters to involve the opponent's defense. No one has yet specialized in three-point shooting tactics.

After all, this era believes that the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score.

However, the Clippers with Xu Ang are an exception. Not only can they play the popular conventional tactics, but they also have three-point shooting tactics as their trump card.

Ma Long was not familiar with Xu Ang, and even though he paid some attention to him, he did not pay enough attention to him due to lack of intuitive understanding.

As a result, he is destined to suffer big losses.

"Give me the ball."

The Clippers scored and the ball was transferred to the Jazz. Malone was shouting to his teammate who was serving the ball. He had just been provoked by Xu Ang, and his ball was intercepted by Xu Ang, who also allowed Xu Ang to score a long three-pointer. This was a big shame. In front of so many fans at home, Malone must regain this face.

As the boss of the team, Malone dare not refuse to ask others. Even Stockton has to give Malone this face.

The Jazz player didn't hesitate and threw the ball towards Malone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball was released, he saw a figure from the Clippers rushing out like lightning. Looking at the direction, it was clear that he was going to intercept the ball.

In a hurry, the man shouted: "Watch what's behind you."

He warned, but to no avail.

Once again, when Malone was about to get the basketball, a figure passed by and intercepted the basketball he was about to get for the second time.

Without giving Malone time to react, Xu Ang used his super speed to complete his second steal and shot a horse-riding arrow just in front of the three-point line to complete his second three-point shot of the game.

Just like the previous ball, the basketball plunged into the basket without hesitation, and the crisp sound caused waves in the net.

Ma Long shook his head, feeling a little unreal.

Did I get the ball stolen again?

Did the Chinese score again?

And it’s still three points.

In this case, wouldn't it mean that he scored six points and our team still didn't score a single point!

Realizing that his opponent had scored six points less than half a minute into the game, Malone was furious.

He shouted at Stockton who was kicking the ball: "Give me the ball, I'm going to hit him."

Face must be regained and points must be caught up. Otherwise, how could Malone still be in the NBA?

mix.

Stockton looked specifically at Xu Ang's position and saw that Xu Ang was far enough away, so he threw the ball to Malone with confidence.

For the third time, Malone finally touched the ball. I wonder if he would lament his difficulty at this time.

He wanted to find Xu Ang and regain the face he had lost before, but he wanted to do this, but someone on the Clippers team refused to agree.

As the team's defensive leader, Kobe stepped forward.

Another rookie!

Malone glared at Kobe fiercely: "Go away, I want to challenge that Chinese man to a duel, it's none of your business."

He may be able to intimidate other rookies, but who is Kobe to dare to challenge the big guys on the team when he was a rookie and say: "Give me the damn ball, I want to fight Jordan one on one."

How could such a person be frightened?

He didn't give in when facing Malone and even provoked him: "If you say you want to challenge anyone, just challenge him. Who do you think you are? If you want to cause trouble for my teammates, you have to get past me first."

Malone was originally angry. He was first provoked by Xu Ang, and then Xu Ang intercepted two goals in a row. He was holding his breath to get back on the court. Kobe provoked him again at this time. If Malone could tolerate him, he would not be Malone.

"Boy, you asked for this."

Malone leaned over with a grin, and when he came into physical contact with Kobe, he showed off his iron elbow from an angle that the referee couldn't see.

From the referee's perspective, he saw only a reasonable physical confrontation between the two. Kobe held his stomach and backed away. Malone took advantage of the situation and passed Kobe and headed towards Xu Ang's defensive area.
