Chapter 191 Super Luxurious Middle-aged and Elderly Group

After a whistle, Utah Jazz VS Seattle Supersonics, the game officially started.

Li Shengli did his part not to let the jump ball succeed, and the Jazz won the first round of the first four quarters. Without thinking about it, this is the playoffs. Although it has just started, both sides have put in all their strength.

They fought each other for several rounds.

The Supersonic's offense is the same as their previous style, more blooming, whoever can hit whoever hits, whoever has a good chance will go up, but it can also be clearly seen...George Karl's arrangement is still more afraid of the Jazz's inside line, Kemp and Cage has not made a shot so far, and is more coordinating and supporting the offense of his teammates.

As for the Jazz, Stockton gave a few exquisite passes at the beginning. Li Shengli and Malone felt relieved, and they didn't even have a decent confrontation, because Kemp and Cage were too late, which made them score easily.

As a top point guard, Stockton's organization and passing are always just right. If you have to describe his ability, it is comfortable. The whole team is comfortable, because you will always get Stockton at the right time. Pass the ball, and then make an easy shot.

Playing until halfway through the first quarter, the Jazz played steadily, and Lee Mars' cooperation tore through the Supersonic's inside defense. At the same time... although Crotty and Tyrone hardly took a shot, they also did their jobs well. Stick to supersonic projection.

Leading by 4 points.

The Jazz led by 4 points in half a quarter. This lead is really not much, and it can also be seen that the Supersonics are tenacious, and the Jazz would have already defeated the average opponent.

However, the Supersonics are not the same. Not only can all members score, but the team's offensive pick-and-roll tactics are also very good. The offense will not suffer too much, but the defensive end cannot suppress the Jazz inside.

Speaking of it, the essence of the game is still very simple.

It’s hype and complicated, but in fact... all kinds of tactics and coordination are for offense and defense, and now the Supersonic’s offense has suffered a bit. If you want to maintain stability and overtake, you must work hard on defense, and The focus of this game is on Li Shengli and Ma Long.

……

Jazz attack.

All the Supersonics ran and defended frantically, trying to block the ball on the outside and block the pass. However, it will be really difficult for Stockton to be delivered to Li Shengli and Malone for a while.

"John, here!"

Ma Long rushed to the high position and finally got a pass from Stockton. Facing Kemp's defense, he turned his back and squeezed into the inside. Incidentally, I took out Malone.

Malone was a little angry and turned over to make a jump shot, while Cage chose to take off and block.

boom!

A muffled sound.

Malone ate a big hat.

Fortunately, Stockton had quick eyes and quick hands, got the ball that was slapped, and then passed it to Li Shengli. Li Shengli pushed Kemp, because Cage had returned to the basket, so he also chose a turnaround jumper.

boom!

Another muffled sound.

Li Shengli also got a big hat, but this hat was not given by Kemp, but by the supersonic small forward Ricky Pierce who swooped in from behind him.

Good luck doesn't always favor one side. This time the Sonics grabbed the ball, launched a wave of quick counterattacks, and scored easily.

……

Two hats in one round?

Is it the Jazz core Li Shengli and Malone?

Jazz fans can't stand it any longer. As senior diehard fans, they are too aware of the abilities of Li and Ma. It's not that they haven't been blocked, but in one round, both of them were blocked. rare.

The fans at the scene were worried, as were the fans who watched the live broadcast of the game. Feeling the changes in the Supersonics, Jerry Sloan finally called a timeout.

at the same time……

TNT TV's live broadcast of this game was cut to the studio, and the atmosphere among the four commentators in the studio was a little weird.

The first is the seating. In the case of four people, there is basically nothing wrong with sitting in a row, but the arrangement of the studio is a little different at this time. The two tables are connected at a 90-degree angle, forming a 'Λ' shape. People can not only look at the camera, but also see the face of the person opposite.

On the left is the old couple Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Thompson is inside and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is outside. There is no need to say anything about this.

As for the two on the right, they are facing each other as in the seating arrangements. The one sitting inside is 'Iceman' George Gervin, and the one sitting outside is 'Big Bird' Larry Bird.

This is definitely the most luxurious commentary group for middle-aged and elderly people since TNT was founded in 88. The seating arrangements are clearly defined, and the commentators are all carefully selected.

……

Thompson's career was short but brilliant. At the beginning, he was able to compete with the Iceman and Dr. J, and the Iceman George Gervin was his old enemy.

In the 77-78 season, Thompson and George Gervin's scoring competition was extremely tragic. The two even reached the second place after the decimal point before they could be separated. At that time, the average points per game of the two were 27.22 and 27.15 respectively. [-].

In the last regular season game of the season, Thompson, who took the lead to make his debut, was fully fired with the help of the whole team. He scored 73 points against the weak team that year, including 32 points in the second quarter.

However...George Gervin followed closely. In the game that day, he scored 33 points in a single quarter, making Thompson's 32 points in a single quarter meaningless. George Gervin also won the season's scoring champion.

Rival!

The two are definitely old enemies!

If you can't talk about meeting, you will pinch, but Thompson is still very unconvinced by George Gervin.

……

As for Larry Bird, the famous Green Cayman, the godfather of trash talk, and the king of NBA pretentiousness.

You must know that the grievances between the two giants of the Lakers and the Kais have a long history, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a famous Lakers player, has naturally been arranged as an "opponent" against Bird.

In fact, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also annoyed Bird, because he... is so pretentious. The sentence 'you are all here to fight for the second place, right? '.

……

Is this a 2V2 commentary match?

Maybe TNT just wanted to make a little gimmick in the studio, even the seating arrangement was very deliberate, but the audience likes to watch the big guys fight when the game is suspended, and the program effect is quite good.

At this time, Ma Long and Li Shengli were capped one after another. As Thompson and Jabbar, who supported Li Shengli and the Jazz, their faces were naturally livid, but Gervin and Bird on the opposite side were smiling happily.

"Oh, God, the Sonics did a great job. I think the Jazz have a hard time in this game!" Gervin said.

"More than that, I think the Jazz lost!" Bird laughed: "Look at the player Lee, in fact, he is not as strong as the rumors outside, but it affects Karl Malone's offensive ability, maybe he is more suitable... …to be a blue-collar center?! What do you think, Gervin!”

As a live broadcast commentary, professionals are more explaining the game than predicting the winner or loser with personal subjective color. After all, the fans will definitely not buy it when they say which team will lose.

But... the two brothers are not professional commentators, and the TNT director team didn't specifically explain anything, so talking about it is nothing at all, anyway, stick to the bottom line of not swearing and it's over.

Bad-mouthing jazz?

Blue-collar Li Shengli?

This sounds like it shouldn't be the words of two retired celebrities.

If it is true, each of them is not a fool to become a celebrity, but on the contrary...George Gervin and Larry Bird are very smart.

Because eating in TNT's pot is always to reflect one's own value. In view of the relationship between Li Shengli, Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they naturally have to stand on the opposite side to make troubles and create program effects.
