Chapter 307: Flesh drive

Utah Jazz VS Chicago Bulls, the lineup on both sides and the lineup last season's finals are not bad.
The Bull is still a former bull. There is no big deal and the natural lineup remains unchanged, but the Jazz is no longer the original Jazz, because Stockton has not yet rematched, and Bond will still take his place, and this is about to open the Jazz. Not good for the playoffs.
The significance of Stockton's existence is not as simple as team lubricants and crazy assists. After all, Sidden's outside defense is also a must.
Last season, the reason why the Jazz could overthrow the Bulls, Li Shengli and Malone teamed up to dominate the inside line, but Stockton's blockade of the Bulls' outside line was also an important reason, and this game... without Stockton, Bond, who played for him, was embarrassed to reuse, and the roles of attack, defense, and organization were quite awkward.
It should be known that in the triangle offense system, the three iron triangles of Jordan, Pippen, and Grant have a long distance, and it will be difficult to contain the team. More often, the defense of the defenders will be used.
Crotty was arranged to defend Jordan, I believe this point will not be too explosive, but Bond defense Armstrong is very difficult, want to support Crotty is obviously unlikely.
The once unsolved triangle offense was utterly solved by Sir Limas. In the final analysis, Jerry Sloan relied on the blockade of Stockton and Croti to implement the rushing tactics, rushing all the people to the inside and winning with Li. And Malone as the ultimate defensive high wall.
However, the perfect tactics can be exploded with only a small change. Without the Stockton's Jazz playing the Bulls, is it definitely a tough battle that can only fight offense and not defense?
...
The game started.
In the opening jump, it was natural that Li Shengli took the lead. The Jazz launched the first round of attack. Both sides are old opponents and naturally know what they should do.
Li Shengli landed on the edge of the penalty area and Malone asked for the ball from a high position. Although Bond was not as good as Stockton, it was still quite easy to give the ball to Malone at the high position. In fact, this job... it is the same for everyone.
"What are you doing?" Malone got the ball and immediately fooled.
Originally he was thinking about singles Grant, but is Cartwright hanging behind Grant, and as long as he squeezed into the inside, he will definitely meet Cartwright.
Suicide defense?
It stands to reason that such a defensive position as Cart White is suicide, because letting Lee win the position is even more terrible, but everyone knows that this game is not so important. The competition for the scoring king is the most crucial. Obviously Cart White and Grant is to pave the way for Jordan.
Although the two didn’t form a tie, Cart White wanted to support Grant while still staring at Li Shengli’s position, but for Malone... as long as he is determined to singles, scoring efficiency into the inside will be much lower, the only way The only choice is the unstable, eating CIC.
"Shit, just cheer when you come up? Give me a death!" Malone didn't enter the inside anymore, turned back and shot directly.
boom!
Malone hits the iron!
The ball fell directly to the perimeter and was picked up by Pippen. Li Shengli had no choice but to run back and defend quickly.
...
In the Bulls' offensive system, Jordan is the all-around guard.
After holding the ball at the top of the arc, Pippen immediately ran up to pick and roll, Croti was stopped, Tyrone wanted to make up for the defense, but Grant also rushed up to the second pick and roll, after blocking Tyrone, Jordan backed up a jumper.
In normal times, when the Bulls are attacking, everyone must run to find an open opportunity to shoot, but now it is different. Anyway, it is to give Jordan a shot, and it doesn't matter if you can't find a chance.
Jordan's iconic back jumper shot, the Bulls scored the first goal of the game.
...
The first game.
The Bulls played too big, with Jordan on the offensive end and Malone defense on the defensive end, which exceeded Li's expectations before the game and the first quarter was finished...Although the scores of both sides grew slowly, Jordan has already He scored 12 points. In contrast, Malone's several strong blows to Grant were not ideal, even if Li Shengli handed the front-court rebounds, and the efficiency was only 8 points.
The second half of the game hit halfway.
Ma Long's face turned green, and Li Shengli couldn't hold back anymore. The Bulls attacked, and after the penalty area was placed, they yelled at Jordan and Pippen, "You're playing too much."
Judging from the rhythm of the first quarter, not to mention others, at least the two points of Cartwright and Grant are not going to have fun at all... On the offensive end, Grantla went out to Jordan and completely gave up the inside shot; defensive end , Cartwright will always hang behind Grant, ready to fight against Malone at any time, half-empty Lee victory.
"It's nothing excessive, if you want, you can come and wrap me!" Jordan responded with a ball on his back and turned his head to Li Shengli in the penalty area. In this unusual game, it was always a bit unusual Sao operation.
"This is what you said!" Li Shengli gritted his teeth and shouted at his teammates: "Crotti locks him up, Bond, you go to help, Brother Karl, you go out, staring at him, no matter how many others, the restricted area has I!"
The tactical arrangement is the head coach's business, but in many cases the on-the-spot response needs to be decided by the players themselves, and Li Shengli's command has no objection, even the black-faced Malone said nothing.
For a time, Jazz's defense was messed up.
Croti and Bond joined forces to suppress Jordan, Malone was hanging behind, ready to make up for defense after the Bulls pick and roll, and when the defensive pressure all relied on Jordan, Jordan also scolded, because his vision is all human.
There were teammates and opponents. Jordan wanted to stay out of the way. He was rushed out of the three-point line. When the offensive time was approaching, he barely shot. The rebound after the iron was caught by Li Shengli.
...
What is the strange situation?
Jordan was not deliberately targeted once or twice in the past games, but this one is really a bit different, because the teammates who want to help him pick and roll, and the opponents who guard against, together become obstacles to his movement.
"Stop playing, don't play like this, play hard!" Jordan shouted loudly, both to his teammates and to Li Shengli.
"Late, you have all played for a quarter and a half, it's time for us!" Li Shengli doesn't resign.
You do the first day, I do fifteen.
It makes no sense for you to play one and a half and not fight back!
...
Returning to the offensive of the Jazz again, the generals looked at each other, Li Shengli took the lead, Malone followed closely, Bond held the ball at the end, and when the frontcourt landed, Bond still passed the ball to Malone.
Li Shengli also did not enter the inside line, directly to Malone to pick and roll, blocking Grant.
Generally speaking, a misplaced defense will be formed after the pick-and-roll. Whether Malone can have the opportunity to shoot depends on Carter White’s defense and not being timely. Obviously Carter White’s footsteps are too slow, and the short-range movement speed of the penalty area is not enough to reach Malone and was scored. A goal.
Just scored a goal, Jordan will not care too much, but the rhythm in the second quarter really makes him unable to calm down.
Li Shengli opened the way, and Ma Long and Qin Wang walked around the column!
Elder Li and Ma elder came up and started working from a high position.
You know, the key to restricting Malone's scoring is the targeted combination of Cart White and Grant, but Li Shengli's pick-and-roll gave Malone a short one-on-one chance. Even if he couldn't score Li Shengli and had a rebound, throw it to the outside and find Opportunity to start again from the high position.
Although the pick-and-roll is generally a big one and a small cooperation, the big body is big and convenient to block, the small fast-moving fly, looking for opportunities to shoot, but Li Shengli’s pick-and-roll purpose is too simple, just to give Ma Long a fight, but also Not too particular.
...
On Jordan's side, the Jazz's suppression of him still forced Jordan to give up a part of the shot, and the Bulls scored slowly. On the other hand, Ma Long, Li Shengli almost frantically carried him to attack, all the frontcourt rebounds let him digest.
In the first quarter and a half, Jordan scored 16 points and Malone scored 10 points. By the end of the second quarter, both scored 20 points, which means... Malone scored 10 points in half a quarter. .
But scoring evenly is useless.
Malone must have more than 10 points more than Jordan to have a chance to catch up the average scoring, but in accordance with the momentum of the second half of the second quarter, Jordan's scoring leader will be gone.
"Shit, why is this kid so old with me!" At halftime, Jordan looked extremely ugly.
There is no way to lose the championship, but he doesn’t want to lose the scoring champion, because this is his eighth consecutive succession, and it is of great significance, but he met Li Shengli... His mood is really bad, but there is no way.
"Don't worry~EbookFREE.me~ Let him enjoy the last warmth in the jazz this season, wait for the next season..." Pippen said with a smirk: "Next season, how many people are waiting to teach him, I can’t count, and we’ll work harder by then..."
"Why, you and Ewing got together?" Jordan asked suddenly.
"No, no, I'll just say that." Pippen scratched his head. "Anyway, he doesn't have a good ending next season. So many people step on him, it's not bad for us. Hey, think of it this way, Lee. It's really pitiful!"
"He is pitiful? You see, next season is the most terrifying time for this guy. In addition to letting people die, hunger and hardship will also make people... crazy!" Jordan said with a cold face: "Forget it, too lazy to say That’s it, now keep all these accounts in mind. If he robs me of the scoring champion, no matter which team he goes to, I will slap him fiercely next season."
"Why, shall we stand with Ewing?"
"No, I'm just avenging myself!"
"Oh, I hope this guy won't be starved to death next season. It's better to hold on to wait for us to fight him!"
