Chapter 560: Young number eight

　　 April 24, 1997.
　　The first day of the playoffs in the 96-97 season.
　　 The weather forecast was originally inaccurate, but no one expected that the Lakers were okay when they arrived at the Jazz Triangle Center Arena, and the game was about to begin. The outside was overcast and thunderous.
　　 "Is this going to be a heavy rain soon?"
　　 "Damn, why is this weather suddenly?"
In the Lakers locker room, there were complaints, both in advance and after release, but the problem would have been suffocated because the high altitude and low air pressure in Salt Lake City, coupled with the low air pressure on the eve of the rainstorm, was a bit breathless. Feeling upset.
　　 At this moment, Big Ben ran to the window and stretched his head to look out. A flash of lightning struck the curtain of night, followed by a thunderous sound of ears that almost scared Big Ben to pee.
　　 "Damn it, it's so ugly!" Daben scolded to hide his embarrassment.
　　 "Lee, it seems tonight..." Crotty frowned.
"It's nothing like, how to fight and how to fight." Li Shengli glanced at the frizzy big book, and at the Kobe who was preparing. "Good thing, this should be a good thing, I hope this rainstorm will come even harder, No one can run tonight!"
　　 Li Shengli is still talking to several teammates here. Harris hurried over to call for a meeting. The pre-match meeting was nothing more than to determine the starting personnel and take out the game tactics.
　　Li Shengli, Ben Wallace, Horry, Croti, Kobe, this is today's starting five.
　　To tell the truth...Because of the suspension and injuries, the Lakers had a poor record, but now they have entered the playoffs. The lineup has been completely restored, and it is very different from the previous lineup playing jazz.
　　Li Shengli's counterpoint at center is an absolute advantage.
　　The big defensive tycoon has come to really test the defensive skills, because the opponent is the top power forward Karl Malone.
　　 Considering that Omoto's results for Malone are unknown. Harris simply put Croti on the starting line, defensively responsible for suppressing Jazz's outside fire Honacek.
　　Because if Malone feels defensive pressure, the Jazz's shot will be transferred, Hornacek's shot proportion will increase accordingly, and Croti's functionality can be best played.
　　 This kind of targeted starter seems to be in line with the current situation, but Harris knows... Big Ben and Croti, two defensive defenders who are negligent offensive, will make a lot of shots. The Lakers need someone to digest them.
Of course, Li Shengli is the most perfect candidate in Harris’s mind, always stable, always efficient, and offensive and defensive, and now Kobe also occupies a scoring position in the Lakers. Only one season of growth has overwhelmed the starting star Eddie Jones. There is nothing wrong with starting late.

At this time, the temperature outside dropped sharply, and the Salt Lake City under the clouds was a little depressed, but as the protagonist tonight, the triangle center stadium was full of heat. As soon as the two sides appeared, a burst of shouts broke out on the scene. All the fans who watched the game live were excited.
　　 Outside is the eve of the rainstorm, the game is the pinnacle.
　　 There is nothing more comfortable than watching such a game on a rainy day, and there is nothing special about the two sides before the game. The jazz starter has not changed as before.
　　 After a warm-up, the outside wind was worse, and even before the low-pressure heavy rain, even people became anxious.

　　 beep!
　　 whistle sounded, the game officially started.
　　 Jazz center Greg, this time he was too lazy to jump the ball, gave up the first round of attack directly, and defended with the team, and after Li Shengli allocated to Croti, the performance officially began.
　　Crotti pushed the ball beyond the three-point line, Hornacek immediately rushed up, and the defensive distance was one step away. His attitude was quite obvious, and he could put Croti shot, but he would not break the score.
at the same time……
　　Greg went around frantically and could not squeeze, just to put pressure on the Lakers to score.
　　 Stockton, Malone, and Brian also all keep the line of the pass, playing ahead of steals and blocking the pass.

　　 Dealing with the Lakers and Li Shengli, Jerry Sloan can only think of this way... All the staff do everything possible to restrict Li Shengli from receiving the ball.
　　 Even if it can be accessed, it cannot be accessed in the deep position.
　　Because Li Shengli who received the ball from the deep position, few people in the league can hold him down, either scoring a goal or making a free throw. Sloan, Malone and Stockton are convinced.
　　 If Li Shengli is allowed to catch the ball and singles directly from the high post.
　　 From high position to basket, or from high position to Lee wins the most stable shot area, this takes time, this time difference is enough for the Jazz's defense to start, in theory, Li Sheng can be stuck in the high area, limiting efficiency.
In this way, all the starting points of the Jazz defense are Li Shengli. Although Jerry Sloan has considered the shots of other Lakers players, this is a good deal. Putting Li Shengli is equivalent to drinking a bottle of tetramine, and burping , But let others, even if the feel is good, the jazz can still remedy.
　　 So with this arrangement, the performance of the Jazz in the first round is very stable.

　　 "Li, don't think about it better."
　　 "The old man is angry, he wants us to fool you tonight!"
　　 "Don't wait for the pass, Crotty can't pass in."
Ma Long chased after Big Ben, and had no time to look at Li Shengli, but still shouted a few words, and although Li Shengli also found that the Jazz's defense was very targeted, but was not in a hurry, Greg also shouted, "You think Will it work if I live? Crotty, come on!"
　　Crotti? !
　　 Hornacek would take a small step and stare at Croti and smile, after all, such a strict defense, it is very difficult to fix a single pass, but Croti does not think so...
　　 Pass in?
　　Who told you that I was going to pass it in?
　　Crotti sneered, and started to rush to the left side of Honasek, and Honasek retreated and found that Crotie had withdrawn and made a projection action, so he hurried forward.
　　 "Kobe!" Crotty jumped back to pass on Bryant.
　　 "Come!" Bryant found his place around Croti.
At this time, Hornacek was too late, and Stockton was blocked. Kobe shot a long two-pointer from the ground. The embarrassment is... there is no sound of iron, this ball is actually Outrageously, Li Shengli didn't even have the opportunity to supplement his offensive rebounds.
　　……
　　 "Hahaha, Li, do you dare to say that it doesn't work to hold you down?" Ma Long smiled back and forth.
　　 "Okay, Carl, counterattack!" Stockton shouted Malone and started the Jazz counterattack.
　　 At this time, the Lakers returned to defense, Li Shengli said nothing, but the fans on the scene were booing Kobe~EbookFREE.me~ Kobe's face is also a bit ugly, because the iron is understandable, but the three are not ridiculous.

　　 didn't take it seriously, the game continued.
After the Jazz scored a goal from the non-focused attacker Brian in the middle distance, he went to the Lakers' offense, and this time...The Jazz's defensive position remains the same, still restricting Li's victory. As for Croti's face, there is no fluctuation. Kobe's actions and the same coordination made Kobe vote again.
　　 The result was the same. Although this time it wasn't three-in-one, but the rebound was still too far. It was taken by Stockton, and the Jazz launched a counterattack and scored again.

　　 One or two times, the atmosphere in the center of the triangle gradually became warmer.
Although Big Ben's suppression of Malone and Croti's Hornacek was very good, and achieved the desired effect, Brian in the third position actually shot a 4 of 4 shot, which became the Utah double. Outside the largest variable.
　　Look at the Lakers.
　　 Unlike Bryan 4 of 4, Kobe Bryant opened a 4 of 0 in the opening game. What's more terrible is that there are two non-sticks in these 4 shots.
At this moment, the audience watched the home team jazz play a 4:12 offensive climax and excitement, watching the Lakers young No. 8 player, sent a burst of harsh boos, and this will only hit 4 in the first quarter A little more than a minute, Harris couldn't sit still and immediately called for a timeout.
