Chapter 97: [Star whistle, rookie whistle, home whistle]

The Lakers offensive ignited the atmosphere at home, and many fans stood up and applauded.
When returned to defense, Bryant shouted at Guo Xu: "Give me the ball, I can score!"
Guo Xu is confident to single out veteran Stockton, and Kobe is also confident to single out his opponent. The Jazz bench David Bennott is 32 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. He entered the NBA in a non-draft draft with average strength. In 1998, he went to play abroad for two years because of the league's lockout. He just returned from this season and joined the Jazz.
Offense, Bennott was caught by Bryant after receiving the ball, he passed the ball and then found Stockton with obvious intentions, Guo Xu is also a brown sugar defense, reaching for a successful steal!
Guo Xu rushed forward and got rid of Stockton's fast break with speed. He attracted Marshall to defend before the three-point line and tossed the ball high towards the rim. George on the left side cut in one finger.
George flew up, dunked the ball into the air with both hands, pulled the basket high with both legs, and cushioned and landed.
29 to 31, Guo Xu's third assist.
The popularity of the lake was high, and Sloan requested a suspension.
When came off, the Lakers players gave each other high-five to celebrate, and the veterans were very enthusiastic about Guo Xu, especially Harper handed Guo Xu a towel.
Harper knows that he should retire after this season. Guo Xu is much stronger on offense and can play on the court. Guo Xu on the defensive end has also done better than his point guard. He will not be easily broken through by opponents. Lose height.
Jackson briefly emphasized the offensive and defensive tactics without substitution.
Sloan replaced Marshall with "postman" Malone, adding a stable scoring point.
Malone deserves to be the league's number one iron man. He played full-time last season, averaging 35.9 minutes, scoring 25.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. His shooting percentage was 50.9%. This year he is 37 years old and is still the team's first core.
Malone singled out George on the field and turned to make a shot to help the team stabilize the situation. 29 to 33.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu ignored Kobe asking for the ball and chose to play a pick-and-roll with O'Neal. After attracting Malone to change defense, he divided the ball into the middle. O'Neal easily squeezed away Stockton, cut the ball and hit the basket, struck Ostertag and strengthened.
Ostertag hit the foul again and sent him to the free throw line, and made two fouls in just a few minutes.
O'Neill made two free throws, 30 to 33. Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Lakers replaced George and replaced Grant Malone. George came on the 4th position to prevent Malone.
Jazz also replaced Ostertag, this time O'Neal will become much easier in the low post, Jackson simply will not allow O'Neill to rest this section, his advantage is obvious.
Danny Manning, who was just on the court, was 208cm tall and weighed 104kg. He was not strong enough to play power forward, and O'Neill had to let Malone play. If O'Neal could foul Malone, the Lakers would win.
So the Lakers offensive focus shifted to a low position, Guo Xu began to wait outside the three-point line for opportunities, only a three-point shot in the second half, missed the basket.
Defensive Guo Xu was eye-catching, and Stockton didn't score anymore. It was difficult to receive a return after the ball was scored. Guo Xu had been entangled with him and pursued and defended quickly.
Jazz team scored only 16 points this quarter, the Lakers overtake 42 to 40 at halftime.
Jackson was satisfied with Guo Xu's play in the first half. He no longer asked him to sit on the bench in the third quarter and continued to play with the OK combination.
When Harper and Fox were feeling terrible, Robert Horry and Fisher missed due to injury, Guo Xu did not play, the Lakers outside lacked a stable three-point shooting point, and could not open the space. Today he Become an indispensable person for the Lakers.
Fisher, who had completed surgery at home, wanted to smash the TV while watching the live broadcast of the game. He felt that glory should belong to him. He was the most suitable person to replace Harper. Guo Xu was really shit.
The way to deal with the Jazz is to defend Guo Xu and Kobe. In the low position, O'Neill put two other role players to shoot, and the offensive end targeted Guo Xu's pick-and-roll.
Stockton played a role. Don't look at him as a white man with a height of only 185CM. He has been selected for the best defensive lineup many times. He predicts accurately when he breaks through. He also uses small moves to make up for his shortcomings when he is close to the defense.
Guo Xu is not easy to get rid of. He ’s the best way to deal with Stockton is to run without the ball, relying on speed and endurance to drag his opponent, but Jackson ’s tactics are to make him stand still. A stocking opportunity for Stockton.
The most disgusting Guo Xu is Stockton's small movements, even pulling and pulling, Tai Chi pushing hands, and using his legs to pin his legs, the referee will never see. Stockton made two midrange shots during the offense. When he was in an emergency stop, he pushed him first to gain space. The referee did not blow.
Rookies are often the losers against star, because the NBA whistle is not so fair.
The NBA rules are detailed and the referees are extremely professional, but the legal principles are nothing more than human. The referees will mix some subjective factors in the law enforcement, which not only takes care of the emotions of the fans on the spot, but also helps the NBA market promotion.
Stockton is very famous, the referees are happy to give him some preferential treatment, do not want to see him being suppressed by rookie. Corresponding to the star whistle is the rookie whistle, NBA rookie first arrived, often referred to by the referee.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Yao Minggui didn't take this loss when he first entered the league as a champion. He often fell into foul trouble. It is not surprising that Guo Xu, the last rookie, suffered a loss when defending.
The home whistle will be reflected in O'Neill and Kobe, no matter what Guo Xu does.
Then there is the balance whistle. If the referee realizes that he has had a problem with the penalty just now ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Usually he will balance the losing side at the other end of the court and play an optional foul to make up for himself Fault. Players who are looking for a whistle usually just show their hands in a symbolic gesture, helplessly accepting their unlucky facts.
Stockton played Guo Xu, and the balance whistle was reflected in Kobe. He was sent to the free throw line in two non-violent confrontations.
O'Neal was tightly guarded in this quarter. Bryant stood out to ensure the Lakers' attack firepower. He shot 4 of 10 shots in a single quarter, 7 of 7 free throws and scored 15 points.
Guo Xu only missed the basket in two shots in this section, feeling cold. His only stat is to send an assist and pass to Kobe Bryant to make a layup 2 + 1. He was replaced by Harper in the last 4 minutes. The latter also showed little performance and contributed two fouls after playing.
The worst performance in this quarter was Leder, who made 0 of 3 shots in 7 minutes and made 0 of 2 three-pointers. All missed opportunities.
The Lakers led 67 to 61 into the fourth quarter. The advantage is not big. Grant has made 5 commits. O'Neill and Guo Xu made 4 commits. It is all because of the pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton. These two are particularly good at making misalignments.
Guo Xu had no other way to face Malone, he could only pull a foul, otherwise he would be late if he wanted to get the foul.
Sloan is the league's best coach in pick-and-roll offense. He only knows pick-and-roll and never plays other tactics. This is the way for the Jazz to win, and it is also the reason why they cannot win the championship. This is the way back and forth, and opponents can easily figure out their routine.
Guo Xu temporarily rested on the bench due to foul trouble, it is impossible to play the kind of high-light performance.
Harper was in a doldrums. Before that, he was forced to replace another veteran Brian Shawke with a point guard. The two sides entered a stalemate stage.
