NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Antoine Kyle never expected that he would be attacked by a super-powerful player!

Only halfway through the second quarter, he was scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal by Hanamichi.

The main reason why Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan did not replace Karl Malone to defend Hanamichi was that after Hanamichi's active switch, the Jazz's offensive tactics were revitalized.

In other words, the sky cleared and the rain stopped, and Jerry Sloan felt that the pick-and-roll tactics worked again!

Now is a good time to chase points. Of course, Karl Malone's offensive firepower should be maximized. As for the defensive pressure, it is reasonable to let Antoine Kyle, who just came on the court, take it!

Jerry Sloan: "I can't stand it, but I have to stand it!"

Antoine Carr: "..." (You are playing Landlord here!)

Although Ben's one-on-one defense ability and talent are very suitable for the NBA, he is still a first-year rookie after all, and has only played in the league for less than 5 months, so he was ruthlessly beaten by the experienced Karl Malone in terms of experience.

In addition, Ben's understanding of the double-teaming tactics is not as thorough as Hanamichi's. Some things are one thing to understand, and another thing to do.

So in this half of the quarter, the [Black and White Evils] also went on a killing spree on the offensive end.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll completion rate reached an astonishing 70% in this quarter.

In other words, except for a few wing singles, Ben defended or interfered with Karl Malone. At other times, as long as it was a pick-and-roll, basically every ball would go in.

However, the Jazz still did not catch up with the Raptors, and the score gap between the two teams even widened!

It was not until halfway through the second quarter that Jerry Sloan had to let Karl Malone restrict the red-haired kid.

Because Hanamichi's hit rate was too high!

With an almost 100% hit rate, he scored 12 points in half a quarter. This offensive efficiency is much better than the pick-and-roll tactics he is proud of.

In addition, Ben is also a rookie. He can't defend you and me, so he won't foul! Since you have committed a foul, you should be more ruthless!

So you can see that in the second quarter, whenever Ben Wallace committed a foul, especially after a hand-hitting or blocking foul, Karl Malone's touch would always be interrupted. The reason is simple - this kid is too ruthless!

Karl Malone got a lot of free throws, but the most criticized point of the postman this season is that his free throw hit rate is only 50%!

In this way, Ben Wallace's fouls are very valuable.

In the second quarter, Ben committed a total of 3 fouls.

Antoine Kyle:

"Coach, how about I foul and restrict the opponent?"

"Pah~Shua...Shua..."

[2+1]

Antoine Kyle: "..."

The foul also depends on strength and body size. Although Ben is a rookie, he is young and strong, and his strength is no less than that of his (master) father Oakley.

Antoine Kyle, who was born on July 23, 1961 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, is 36 years old this year!

206cm, 102kg, although he is old and plays the center position, how can he compete with 214cm, 114kg Hanamichi?

In fact, this is also the pain point of the Jazz and the weakness of the pick-and-roll tactics, which ignores the center position too much!

As analyzed before the game, the center position strengthened by the Jazz this season is precisely their weak point!

After scoring another dunk, Hanamichi, who was returning to defense, passed by the coaching bench and started to talk trash to Jerry Sloan:

"You'd better find someone to defend me!"

Jerry Sloan: He actually talked trash to me? !

Karl Malone: ​​He actually did something I didn't dare to do, great! ... cough cough... so brave! .

Antoine Kyle: Meow meow meow? Am I not a human or are you not talking human words? ?

The hot-tempered old man Sloan couldn't help it and started to talk to Antoine Kyle. The floor on the sidelines was wet with saliva.

Antoine Kyle looked at Hanamichi with a look of despair:

"Brother, since I cooperated so well as a background board, please don't provoke our old man again!"

But soon, Antoine Kyle let it go because he was replaced for his poor performance!

Greg Ostertag is back on the court.

Antoine Kyle said to Hanamichi again:

"Beat him to death, bro!"

"Don't pity him just because he's my teammate!"

We are all in this position, why am I the only one being scolded?

Let Greg Ostertag get scolded by the coach, and make me happy!

Unfortunately, Greg Ostertag is on the court.The one he dealt with was Ben, while the one defending Hanamichi was Malone.

Antoine Carr: "..."

Jerry Sloan still had a scale in his heart. Although Greg Ostertag was regarded by him as a reinforcement weapon to limit Olajuwon and O'Neal, from the performance in the previous games, it was obvious that he was still a long way from these superstars.

So if he was asked to deal with Hanamichi in this game, the effect he achieved would probably be similar to Antoine Carr's - almost defenseless!

But if Hanamichi is not restricted, I'm afraid the Jazz will be beaten by him alone.

At this time, except for the super giant Malone, no one else can take on this important task, but this is also the mission of the team's trump card, that is, to strangle the opponent's trump card!

In stark contrast to the opening, Karl Malone is now defending Hanamichi and trying every means to prevent the latter from scoring.

But facing Hanamichi who is in good form, can Malone defend him?

The answer is of course - no!

Because Hanamichi is not fighting alone.

He has become a super giant, and after absorbing the three cards of [Gifen], [Big Eyebrows], and [Stone Buddha], he has inherited some of their abilities, and added the signature skills of Westbrook, KG, and Nopech.

It can be said that Hanamichi, who has integrated the above abilities, can't defend against his firepower even if O'Neal comes.

Finally, Hanamichi, who is 9 on the offensive end and 9.9 on the defensive end, has attracted the attention of all media and fans with his super giant strength!

"Perhaps, the league's strongest No. 4 position has one more choice!"

"I take back my previous evaluation of Flower, he is already a superstar!"

"Now he is making a push for superstardom."

"Perhaps, all he lacks from superstardom is a FMVP!"

"At most three years, when Ewing, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Barkley and Michael are getting old, I'm sorry, I have no disrespect!"

"But the future league will definitely belong to Flower, O'Neal and the emerging KG!"

"And now they have shown the potential to be superstars, or they have the strength to be superstars, but what they lack is a lot of honors, and the incomparable desire for honor is the charm of all athletes in the NBA men's competitive league showing their hormones!"

"Winner takes all!"
