NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Sitting in his own bench off the court, staring at Hornacek leading the team's bench against Charles? With the Rockets' bench lineup led by Barkley, Wang Pan looked very focused, and his eyes revealed a trace of worry.

Don't look at the flying pigs as they are 33 years old this year, but their competitive state is still very good, and their physical fitness is still very good. Felton on the Jazz side? Spencer + Grigg? Foster's inside twin tower combination can't stop the opponent at all. The next game is too stable, the pi stock is too large, the strength is too good, and the play is too comprehensive.

Coupled with the fact that the ball at the beginning of the second quarter belonged to the Rockets, the score difference was quickly expanded to double digits by the Rockets.

For the Jazz, this is not good news.

Jeff, the team's best sixth man? Hornacek played very hard on the court, not only scoring personal offenses, but also constantly assisting teammates? Cut points.

At the critical moment, he led the team to stabilize the situation on the court, and was not overtaken by the opponent's rhythm.

I have to say, except for the Rockets' bench, Charles, who leads the team? Barkley, everyone else's performance is obviously a little worse.

Kevin, who was traded from the Warriors with high hopes? Willis's poor performance, Matt, traded from the Hawks? Brad is not good either. Emmanuel, a rookie who was just selected into the team this year? Davis went straight to second zero.

To be able to get Charles? Barkley, the Rockets almost sent out a large group of outstanding players in their entire bench.

The sequelae were revealed again, and the bench strength was significantly reduced. Except for the flying pigs who led the team, there was nothing that could play.

However, Fliggy’s performance on the court is indeed excellent enough. Relying on his personal ability, he led the team to play very stalemate with the overall outstanding Jazz led by Hornacek, and the score difference has been constantly beating up and down twelve points. .

The Rockets are always in the lead on the court!

Looking at this situation, Wang Pan looked very serious. Even though the situation seemed to be stabilized, they were the one behind. They failed to narrow the difference, which was a failure.

After all, the team came to Houston not to get along with each other, but to win the game!

Jerry was in the ear? Sloan’s words: "Wang, after playing in the second half of the second quarter, I need you to take on more scoring responsibilities. When Karl was double-teamed and couldn’t get a chance to get out of the game, and John’s touch was not good enough, the team You need your strength. At this time, you have to learn to be selfish."

"I understand." Wang Pan nodded to express his knowledge.

He is not afraid of responsibility and pressure. Since the team takes the initiative to request, then he will certainly not refuse.

Got the Jerry he wanted to answer? Sloan nodded slightly, and did not say anything, but walked to Karl? Malone and Stockton also gave orders.

Regarding the decision to increase Wang Pan's shooting power, the Lao and Ma will naturally have no idea. As long as it is good for the team and as long as they can win, everything is not a problem.

In such thoughts, the second quarter of the game soon passed half of the game, the score was temporarily frozen at 40:29, the Jazz fell behind the goal point.

But the next ball is still in the hands of the Jazz, as long as the ball can be scored, that point will be reduced to a position immediately.

No longer wait and see and wait, the backward Jazz can't afford to wait, so taking advantage of a dead ball, Jerry? Sloan directly called a timeout and made a substitution.

The Jazz lineup changed to Ostertag + Carl? Malone + Wang Pan + Hornacek + Stockton, obviously ready to chase points.

Perceiving this situation, Rockets coach Rudy thought for two seconds, but finally decided to put Charles? Barkley replaced, and his team lineup changed to Ola Juwon + Kevin? Willis + Drexler + Mario? Eli + Matt? Maroney.

Flying Pig is not young anymore, it is impossible to keep him on the court all the time, he should rest or rest.

The game continued, the Jazz served from the sideline and quickly organized an offense...

After receiving a pass while running, Stockton forced a two-step internal jump. Carl? Ma Long stepped forward to help with the pick-and-roll, staggered, received the pass, and took two steps, before the opponent double-teamed forward, he vigorously threw the basketball to the basket.

"Pop catching the ball, jumping off and scoring the layup. Wang Pan's whole set of movements was done in one go. Drexler, who was thrown off a few positions, was chased by Drexler, but he was still two steps slower and could only watch. There is no way to exert defensive pressure.

The score was 31:40, and the difference was reduced to 9 points.

"This ball is mine." Drexler looked at Big Dream apologetically.

He did not follow the ball in place, and was thrown away by Wang Pan.

Offensive and defensive conversion...

The Rockets still focus on the inside. As soon as Olajuwon got the ball, Ostertag stepped forward to BI. Carl? Malone doubled over at the right time.

No Charles? Barkley attracted firepower on the court, and the old horse's double-teaming became a lot more decisive.

Without the idea of ​​one-on-two, Da Meng reacted quickly, and immediately passed the ball and ran out of position Mario? After receiving the ball, Eli raised his hand and shot, making a three-pointer decisively. Hornacek's defense was slow and failed to exert influence.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of entering the net, the basketball slammed straight into the rim and caught it through the net.

A three-pointer!

The score was rewritten to 43:31!

Mario? Ellie yelled excitedly.

Ignoring the opponents, the Jazz immediately served the bottom line quickly, Hornacek took the initiative to control the ball, Wang Pan started running without the ball on the court, in Ostertag with Carl? With the help of Malone's double pick and roll, an opportunity soon appeared, and Lao Huo passed the ball the first time.

Wang Pan caught the ball and made a shot, which caused Maloney who was defending to jump up and prepare to block. After receiving the ball, he withdrew and quickly returned to the three-point line. Three-pointers were drawn directly outside the line.

At the moment the basketball is shot, the defense personnel will catch up, but it is already late.

Looking at the arc of the basketball running in the air, Wang Pan knew that the ball was probably there.

The reality was not unexpected. The basketball was hollow. Wang Pan returned a three-pointer to his opponent, and the point difference was once again narrowed to 9 points.

As soon as he debuted, Wang Pan scored five points in a row. Can you see Rockets coach Rudy? Tomjanovich frowned, feeling that something bad would happen next.

I have to say that the old man's seventh sense is quite accurate.

During the following game, Wang Pan began to focus on running off the ball on the offensive end. The whole team was helping him pick-and-roll and create shooting opportunities, firing consecutive shots from outside the three-point line.

Wang Pan, who has unlimited firepower and completely liberated his scoring ability, allowed all spectators who followed the game to see his explosive continuous scoring ability.

A man rained a three-pointer outside the Rockets' three-point line!

Even if Rockets coach Rudy called two timeouts to try to influence his rhythm and gan, and then came back from the timeout, Wang Pan's shooting was still terrifying. As long as there is an opportunity, as long as the Rockets' defensive players do not defend in place in the first time, thereby exerting defensive pressure, Wang Pan will be able to score. In four minutes, the individual scored 16 points in a row!

The sense of presence on the court is already inexhaustible. The defensive attention of the Rockets on the court will be unconsciously attracted by Wang Pan, and even the restrictions on the old horses have become much smaller, and it is no longer the first time. Just stepped forward to double-team and made Carl? Malone also began to score points in the final stage of the second quarter.

Seeing that the Jazz is already gaining momentum, Rockets coach Rudy hastened to Charles? Barkley put on the court again. Unconsciously, the two sides began to fight each other.

Seeing the ghosts on the court and the erratic movement of Wang Pan, coach Rudy frowned. Such a player is really too difficult to deal with. Originally, they all had the advantage in this game. Who would think that Wang Pan suddenly broke out.

Move the whole body!

At this moment, the Jazz is obviously starting to favor the Jazz, and it is already anti-visitor!

The fans on the scene were naturally aware of such an obvious situation, and their eyes all focused on Wang Pan's body, and his expression seemed a little complicated.

I have to admit, Wang Pan played really well, but he is a player of the opponent team! Uncomfortable.

The half-time ended quickly, relying on Wang Pan's outstanding performance of 18 points in a single quarter, Carl? Malone also made some achievements on the offensive end. The Jazz smashed 35 points in a single quarter, and finally took 54:59, just behind the halftime score of 5 points, and entered the second half.

During the intermission, Jerry? Sloan highly admired Wang Pan's performance in the second quarter, saying that he was going to play like this, especially in Carl? When Ma Long was double-teamed by his opponent, Wang Pan had to find ways to show his presence on the court.

In this way, the pressure on the teammates will be reduced a lot, and the overall offensive system of the Jazz can run more smoothly. ? ? 0 Seeking flowers...

Similarly, if Wang Pan is double-teamed by an opponent, Carl? Malone would do the same.

As the two absolutely strong super scoring points in the team, Wang Pan and Carl? Malone is responsible for the core tactical position in the team.

In the game, as long as one of the two can fully exert their strength on the field, the team's established tactics can be put into operation.

The lower limit of on-court competitiveness can be guaranteed. As for the upper limit, it depends on the state of the teammates. Can they be given to Wang Pan and Carl? Ma Long has enough support.

Of course, if both of them are online and perform well, then looking at the entire league, there shouldn't be a team that can beat them. As the head coach of this championship team, Jerry? Sloan has this confidence.

No one in the world knows the current actual situation of the team better than him. When arranging the tactics for the second half, they focused more on Wang Pan and Karl? Malone's tactical status, the two of them opened up on the field, the team can win, it's that simple.

At the same time, Rudy in the Rockets locker room? Tomjanovich expressed satisfaction with the team's overall performance in the first half. After all, although they were a little embarrassed in the second half of the second quarter and were chased by a lot of points, they are still in the lead.

Just think of a way to limit the second half Wang Pan and Karl? With Malone's play, the chances of winning this game are very high.

So the question is, what should he use to restrict these two changes to tai?

Rudy looked around the Rockets players, and after staring at them for a while, he realized that he still thought things too simple. They used a hammer to restrict Wang Pan and Carl at the same time. Malone, the key Jazz are not just these two people, Stockton and Hornacek can't just let go.

From the actual situation, it seems that we can only focus on restrictions. Wang Pan and Carl? One person in Malone's play.

The question reappears, is it to limit Karl like the first half? Ma Long, or changed his target, and started double-teaming restrictions Wang Pan?

In such thoughts, the rest time passed quickly...

The battle begins again!

At the beginning of the third quarter, when the players' physical fitness was restored, both sides sent their current strongest lineup to play.

The Rockets are the starting five, and the Jazz are the four kings of Utah + Ostertag.

The opening ball was in the hands of the Rockets. Drexler relied on the pick-and-roll to get rid of Wang Pan's markings and quickly took the ball and shot it.

DUANG!

The opener may not be hot yet, the basketball failed to make a hit, but Charles did the rebound? Barkley struggled to grab it and made a two-pointer with a tip.

The point difference widened to 7 points.

The Jazz won the ball and stopped running without the ball. Wang Pan took the initiative to raise his hand for the ball from outside the three-point line. Before he could continue to enter, Olajuwon went to the basket and directly defended.

It's not just a big dream, all the other Rockets players around have frozen their attention.

"Well, the target has become me."

A look of sorrow flashed in his eyes, Wang Pan didn't have the idea of ​​playing hard, it was too unwise, so he passed the ball directly.

Carl? Malone catches the ball and box singles Charles? Barkley has an advantage in height and wingspan, and his strength is completely worthwhile. He is still one-on-one. The old horse said that the pressure is not too great. After a few flicks, he directly forced the shot. Barkley defended very hard. But it still cannot be sealed.

"Quai?" The basketball slammed into the hoop firmly, and the old horse threw off his right hand to shoot the ball... The CIC pretty boy went online!

Ever since, in the third quarter, the Rockets' defensive attention and focus were concentrated on Wang Pan, Carl? Malone broke out completely. All kinds of Yan She made a mid-range shot, cooperated with Stockton in a tacit pick-and-roll play, and was proficient in shooting and dunk dunks. The postman let the Rockets know what he is good at. .

Charles alone? Barkley could not limit his play.

But Coach Rudy clearly emphasized the players, even if Karl? No matter how good Malone was, he still drove the performance of Stockton and Hornacek to a large extent. The Rockets still pinch Wang Pan on the defensive end and uphold themselves on the offensive end. The usual tactics focus on the inside, from the inside out.

In this way, the third quarter of the game was quickly over. Looking at the score on the field, the Jazz team's generals looked like corpses.
