NBA: I Really Have No Talent

There is still only one day of rest, and the third game of the Jazz and Lakers West semifinal series officially opened at Staples Center.

Both sides have made some changes and adjustments to their starting lineups. On the Lakers side, let Ronnie Fields start, which increases the impact of the team, and his breakthrough ability will have an impact on this Lakers team. With a lot of help, Kobe was able to return to the position of shooting guard that he was best at, and he could concentrate on scoring and defense.

The small forward is still Glen Rice. This not-so-famous, but very talented shooter has given the Lakers great support on the outside. In the first two games, he scored 20+ points. In the final stage of the Lakers' scoring champion, even O'Neal and Kobe are not their opponents.

Inside, the Lakers don't have many options, and the combination of O'Neal and Gahory is threatening enough.

Attention turned to the Jazz. Jerry Sloan replaced Big Ben this time, partnered with Karl Malone on the inside, and Pejastojakovic started at the small forward position, increasing the team's ability on the outside. scoring ability.

After two seasons, Peja's three-point stability has been greatly improved.

The open shot percentage in the team is chasing Wang Zheng, reaching the second place in the team.

Starting it, Jerry Sloan's intention to implement three-point tactics is obvious.

On the back line, it is still the most stable and powerful combination of Wang Pan + John Stockton.

The game started very quickly, and as expected, the Jazz directly used their best three-point tactics at the start.

In this era that still pays attention to the strength of the inside line, the team that uses three points to divide the team's core tactics can be described as the only one.

It's not that there aren't other teams imitating his tactics, but other teams don't have as many consistent and good 3-pointers, so it's doomed to fail.

If you want to see the three-point strategy, you still have to watch the Jazz!

This time, as soon as the game started, the Jazz started shooting 3-pointers from the perimeter frequently.

Wang Pan, Peja, and Stockton became the main points of attack on the court. Karl Malone, who was within range from one step to the basket from the three-point line, also played well, and Big Ben played the role on the offensive end. Played the role of a tool man, constantly stepped forward to carry out pick-and-rolls, and gave enough support.

On the defensive end, the double gates on the inside put a lot of pressure on O'Neal. Robert Horry floated on the outside and played the ball well, and he was destined not to put too much pressure on the Jazz because they had Wang Pan on the outside. The presence of exaggerated players greatly limits the performance of the opponent's perimeter players.

The Jazz, who are not very good at defense, built a targeted defensive front by relying on the physical talent of the stars, which restricted the performance of O'Neal, Horry, and Kobe to a large extent.

But after all, it is impossible to cover everything, Ronnie Fields and Glenn Rice have obtained a lot of favorable shot opportunities.

But the efficiency of the two is still worse than that of the Jazz who played well as a whole, and the score shows this clearly.

Even in the away game, the Jazz have firmly controlled the rhythm on the field from the very beginning of the game, and the score is always in a leading state, and as the game continues, the lead is getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone can see that if no player from the Lakers can stand up in this game, it is still difficult to win.

Thinking of this, the eyes of all the fans at the Staples Center are focused on Shaquille O'Neal, who is sweating in the inside with Big Ben, and looking at the entire Lakers team, Only O'Neal is the most worthy of trust.

It seems that he felt the eyes and prayers of the fans, and O'Neal became more and more violent during the process of carding.

Sensing that Big Ben was a little unstoppable, Karl Malone immediately trapped him, Wang Rong moved two steps to Robert Horry's position at the right time, and was ready to make up for the past.

However, the basketball was still resolutely passed to the inside line. O'Neal took the ball and resisted the old horse. A big man, the whole person was forcibly pulled down from the air.

(Zhao Nuo Zhao) |Wow~~!"

The referee blew the whistle for the first time, looking at the gloomy Shaquille O'Neal, and couldn't help sighing inwardly, facing the Jazz who wanted to limit his performance and not give him a chance to score arbitrarily, even if he did not hesitate to pay a foul. Team, this big shark has nothing to do.

Strong blame?

Don't give a chance!

penalty?

No penalty!

duang!

duang!

The change in mentality has affected O'Neal's actual performance on the field. Both free throws were missed. After the Jazz grabbed the rebound, they launched a fast break in a timely manner, and the opportunity to further expand the point difference came...
