As we all know, the Jazz's offensive style is Stockton passing the ball, Karl Malone receiving the ball and then scoring, and the ball possession is very concentrated.

This offensive mode was not used until 1994, when [American father-in-law] Jeff Hornacek was traded to the Jazz, and then other offensive tactics were developed.

But even so, the Jazz's offensive style is still slightly single.

Role players such as shooter Hornacek, defensive stalwart Byron Russell, blue-collar meat shield Ostertag, etc., are mostly supplemented by defense. The current Jazz is far from the [Yao Mike Star] team in 2007 and 2008 that was based on defense and had multiple offensive options.

But under Jerry Sloan's pick-and-roll tactics, the Jazz can let most teams in the league know how they will attack next, but they still can't stop it!

But the head coach of the Raptors is not a fuel-saving lamp. Let's not talk about whether we can stop Karl Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll tactics. Let me seal your third man first.

In the next round, it was still a pick-and-roll by the Utah duo. The Jazz had a gun on the outside line. Jeff Hornacek was closely watched by the defensive spearhead Doug Christie on the wing of the three-point line, and it was difficult for him to join the offense for a while.

In this way, the Jazz fell into the offensive mode of singing two-person opera again!

But no one expected that during Huadao's position grab, Karl Malone raised his elbow without hesitation!

With a muffled sound, Huadao's body tilted back in the position grab. In just this moment, Malone completed the pick-and-roll with his partner Stockton in front of Huadao.

The referee saw this and did not mean to blow the whistle. The Jazz's home court, the referee's whistle has always been the strength of the playoffs.

Although the referee did not turn a blind eye to the level of elbow raising on the defensive end and elbow swinging on the offensive end, he generally turned a blind eye!

Because of Karl Malone's timely pick-and-roll, John Stockton dribbled around Malone and successfully entered the inside line, while Malone on the other side turned back and ran to the bottom line of the restricted area.

"The next step is Malone's cut inside after receiving the ball at the bottom line, or Stockton's mid-range shot!"

Hanmichi, who felt a dull pain in his chest, knew very well what the Jazz would do next.

Although he tried his best to defend Karl Malone, the pick-and-roll tactics of the Utah Twins still worked successfully.

Stockton had a better offensive option - he shot from mid-range!

The ball went in, and the Jazz scored another 2 points.

The hot-tempered Jerry Sloan sat calmly in the coach's seat:

"Young man, if my pick-and-roll tactics were so easy to crack, it wouldn't be called a pick-and-roll!"

The iron system is constant, but the soldiers are changing. [Black and White Twins] ~ [Utah Twin Towers] are the works of art polished by this thousand-victorious coach.

It is the soul pillar of Sloan's pick-and-roll combined with the UCLA system, and equipped with a series of role players, it is enough to launch an impact on the O'Brien Cup!

In fact, in the heart of this old man, Hanamichi is more suitable for his pick-and-roll system than Karl Malone!

In his pick-and-roll system, the weight of the guard will be strengthened and the presence of the center will be reduced. It is inevitable that he will suffer a little in rebounding. Don't look at Karl Malone averaging more than 10 rebounds per game all year round. This is what he has to grab!

In this way, the Jazz's overall rebounding still loses to most teams in the league.

But Hanamichi is different. He can protect the backcourt rebounds better than Malone. With his assist defense speed and his own training, he will at least not be worse than Karl Malone in grabbing positions, and even better with his physical flexibility.

In addition, Hanamichi has only been in the league for the second year, and he has already shown a variety of inside offensive methods. To some extent, he is more difficult to defend than Malone, and the pick-and-roll tactics are more difficult to judge.

Karl Malone is the kind of player you know he is going to do and how he will attack next, but in the regular season, with the help of the Jazz's offensive system, you can't do anything about him.

And Hanamichi is the kind of player you know he is going to attack next, but you don't know how he will attack. Such a player is also difficult to defend in the regular season.

But the difference between the two in the playoffs comes out, that is, Karl Malone will be more targeted in the playoffs, because his offensive method is always the same.

This is also the 93-94 season, 94-95 season, Karl Malone scored 30+ points in the playoffs, but he was targeted and could not help the team go further.

But Hanamichi is different. He is not easy to target in the playoffs. He can only strengthen the defensive intensity of the position, but whether the effect is good or not, just look at the New York Knicks last season.

On the court, Hanamichi, who was hit by Malone's elbow, did not immediately get angry and shout to playCome back and so on.

He first attracted Malone's attention on the offensive end, while approaching Brian Russell, creating an open opportunity for Walter Williams to help him hit the mid-range shot.

Then on the defensive end, remember the instructions of his coach before the game to break the pick-and-roll:

When following Karl Malone on defense, you can't just focus on him, but always observe the offensive choices of the opposing point guard.

When Stockton is ready to do a pick-and-roll, you must be prepared in advance. This step is easy to guess!

After all, Stockton has only one first choice for passing the ball, and that is Karl Malone!

There was originally another shooter~ [American father-in-law] Jeff Hornacek, who is now also being watched closely by [Scalpel] Doug Christie. This is the purpose of Coach Old Deng arranging Doug Christie to start!

When Malone stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll for Stockton, the first step Hanamichi took was to grab the position in advance and destroy the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two.

Once the grab fails, follow Karl Malone's footsteps closely, and remember not to bump into the pick-and-roll man.

On the contrary, we need to increase our speed to bypass the screener.

The whole process is close to Karl Malone, always maintaining physical contact and continuously exerting defensive pressure.

This is a method that everyone in the league knows to break the Jazz's pick-and-roll, but there are no more than three players who can perfectly understand the tactical thinking of breaking the pick-and-roll and strictly follow the method to achieve the effect.

Among them is Hanamichi, who has just inherited the most powerful forward in history~Tim Duncan's single defense and help defense, and is suitable for various system tactics!
