I really play basketball

Chapter 88 Malone?

In the opening jump ball, Lin Xing, a 2 meter "center forward", won again.

Many times old Nelson would think, this champion is worth it!

He was a center at the jumper, a point guard on offense, and a power forward on defense.

If there is a need, it is not impossible to let Lin Xing play shooting guard and small forward.

Really can play in five positions!

After winning the jump ball, the Warriors' first attack of the game came immediately.

Compared with the original historical line, this Jazz team does not have Byron Russell.

Therefore, at the third position, they can only use Tyrone Corbin, the future head coach of the Jazz, as the starter.

But in the frontcourt, when Lin Xing stopped at the top of the arc and raised his hand to take the basketball from the dribble guard Xiao Chong,
Only then did he realize that it was Tyrone Corbin who was up against him.

"?"

Lin Xing, who was catching the ball with one hand, put a question mark on Ma Long, who was staring at Mullin from the wrong corner.

How about a head-on confrontation?Why are you cowardly?

In fact, Ma Long is also suffering in his heart, it's just a counterpoint, he is not afraid of such a small matter.

The main reason was that Jerry Sloan had spoken, telling him to stay away from Lin Xing.

Sloan is different from old Nelson, this one is a one-of-a-kind existence.

Unless Malone can have some convincing reasons to convince Sloan, otherwise, Sloan will never change his established tactics.

But what strong case could Malone have?Will his defense against Lin Xing be better?
Don't be ridiculous, with his power forward's speed, Lin Xing is having fun.

Changing to Tyrone Corbin, coupled with the defense of the big center under the basket, the defense must be much better than Malone.

So, even in order to win the game more easily, Sloan has reason to let Malone switch defenses.

Tyrone Corbin's defense is good, or what he is good at is defense.

3D is not popular these days, so Corbin, who has good physical fitness, can occasionally be pulled out on the offensive end, and has outstanding defense, is the top role player.

But Lin Xing only needed a straight sprint for him.

The fastest step, and then further acceleration, Lin Xing just elbowed in.

I don't know if it was to prove that he was not intimidated, or if Jazz had other arrangements.

Anyway, the first second Lin Xing rushed in, Ma Long emptied Mu Lin and ran over to flank him.

Looking at Mu Lin who was wide open, although Lin Xing had many question marks, he passed the ball immediately.

Of course, Mullin will not miss the opportunity of a wide open.

"Hands up and down, hits a three-pointer!"

"This ball, Karl Malone put too much, he was too eager to help defend Stalin."

Summary: Malone's pot!
The two in the commentary were also joking: "It's obvious that you didn't match up at the beginning, why are you so active in assisting defense?"

On the sidelines, Sloan knew this well.

But he still expressed his dissatisfaction with this defense, standing on the sidelines and pointing at Malone.

Even Ma Long, in the face of Sloan's accusation, he could only raise his hand to admit his mistake.

The next offensive round saw the two finally face each other.

Although the smell of gunpowder before the game was very strong, but when they really faced each other, the two of them were silent, and they didn't hold back a fart for a long time.

The reason for Malone's silence is that he switched defenses directly in the Jazz's defensive round.

Such an act of admitting cowardice made him unable to say even if he wanted to say something cruel at this moment.

The reason Lin Xing was silent was that he promised Stern and Old Nelson that he would never do anything first.

To show his innocence, he decided to go up to another level without moving his mouth first.

The two remained silent, and soon, John Stockton came with the ball.

The Jazz's tactics, as everyone knows, are the pick-and-roll between Stockton and Malone.

Immediately, Ma Long sideways blocked Xiao Chong, but Lin Xing had no intention of switching defenses at all.

It wasn't that he and Malone were on the fence, but he felt that the focus of the Jazz was actually Malone.

What Stockton, a pass-first point guard, can't pass the ball, it's enough for him to feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, although Stockton scored 2 points with a mid-range jumper, Lin Xing believed that they succeeded in defending this round.

Unlike Sloan, Old Nelson has no problem with Lin Xing's strategy of not switching defenses.

Or more directly, unless Lin Xing stays in the frontcourt and does not retreat, Lin Xing loves to defend as he likes.

After the opening score of 3 to 2, it was the Warriors' round again.

Lin Xing continued to hold the ball against Corbin's single defense.

Without any change, he made another straight breakthrough and went in with an elbow. The change was that Malone had no help defense.

Without Ma Long's defense, Lin Xing took three steps directly.

Although Felton Spencer from the basket came up, but with the bonus of the king of confrontation, Lin Xing directly carried Spencer and put the ball in.

"It's so easy!"

An easy layup succeeded, 5 to 2, and the Warriors once again took a 3-point lead.

Immediately afterwards, the Jazz's offense.

Lin Xing continued to restrain Malone desperately, but still ignored Stockton, which made Stockton impossible.

Ordinary opponents will adopt a defensive strategy of switching defenses when they encounter the Jazz's pick-and-roll.

The main reason is that Malone's screen quality is really high. Without changing defenses, Stockton can shoot directly with a screen.

Those who don't switch defenses are idiots, and Lin Xing is exactly this idiot.

He doesn't switch defenses, just plays, and just stares at Malone.

Stockton was not polite, and scored another two points, and still scored.

5 to 4, the Jazz are still only 1 point behind.

Then there was another offensive and defensive round, and there was still no change. Lin Xing broke through and went in.

No help, just Spencer's rim protection.

This time Lin Xing played a trick, and he jumped up, looking like he was about to buckle.

Spencer was not afraid, and jumped up to the top.

Lin Xing suddenly turned around at an unknown number of degrees, and Spencer was gone.

Facing an empty basket, he sent the ball straight in.

As soon as the goal was scored, Matt Gudica helped Lin Xing do some calculations in the commentary seat: "About a 360-degree turn and layup, Star scored again!"

Then there was groom Albert's emotion: "This stay in the air is a bit like Mikey Joe!"

7 to 4, the Jazz's round.

It was still the duo at the top of the arc, and Lin Xing was also very aggressive, continuing to stare at Ma Long alone.

As a result, Stockton stopped shooting from the mid-range and went straight in.

He hooked out Tyrone Hill and passed one to Spencer.

Spencer caught the ball and made a layup, 7 to 6, no problem!

But from this ball, it can be seen that Stockton is really uncomfortable without passing the ball.

Don't cast hard passes in wide open positions, which is comparable to the turtles.

At this point in the game, no one has any opinions on the progress of the game.

Although Malone never scored, the Jazz's pick-and-roll attack worked. Sloan was very satisfied and let the court continue.

The old Nelson is more satisfied, thinking about the three games that Lin Xing was suspended before.

Without Lin Xing's single-point blast, Xiao Chong, Mu Lin, and Madman made various attempts. Watching the excitement, but not many goals, it was very constipated.

Look at this game again, what about the Jazz?Lin Xing didn't even need to cross-step, and went in with his elbows on his shoulders.

As long as Lin Xing can go in, there will be plenty of opportunities from the front, the flanks, and the corners.

Mu Lin picked up a wide open three-pointer, isn't it because of Lin Xing's breakthrough?
In short, Lin Xing's attack after returning was comfortable to watch.

So, Old Nelson also waved his hand: Continue!

……

In this way, the game went on for another half quarter and entered the first official timeout.

Lin Xing walked to the sidelines, took a towel, wiped his sweat, and looked up at the score.

16 to 14, the away Warriors led by 2 points, but the Jazz held the ball after the timeout.

All in all, in half a quarter, the two teams played evenly.

Moreover, the score in the half quarter is so high, which shows that this game is an offensive battle.

As long as it was an offensive battle, Old Nelson was very satisfied.

But after a pause, he still said: "Keep up, this advantage is not enough for us to win this game!"

On the other hand, the Jazz were not very satisfied with their performance in this half of the game.

It's not that one person is dissatisfied, but two people are dissatisfied.

The first is Sloan. Although he focuses on pick-and-roll offense, Sloan still cares about defense.

At this time, he spread his hands: "What is your defense doing, can you be tougher?"

Another dissatisfied is Ma Long.

Ma Long is dissatisfied, first of all, he has to look at the statistics of the half-quarter game.

Statistics show that in half a quarter of the game, Lin Xing scored 8 points and 2 assists. The Warriors scored 16 points and 13 points were related to him.

Let me just say: The warriors are all in C, which is absolutely not too much!

Look at the Jazz again, Stockton had 4 points and 4 assists, and Malone had 0 points and 2 rebounds.

Similarly, who are the Jazz in C?Still not sure?

And this is what Malone is dissatisfied with.

He, the top card and leader of the Jazz, and the team's scoring leader, played for half a quarter without scoring a point, so the problem was serious.

"I want to score! John, pass me the ball!"

"Kasda has been staring at you..."

"If you stare at me, can't you pass me a pass? Give me the ball, and I'll play singles!"

Malone's mind was all about me scoring, so after the timeout, the Jazz's round—

Looking at Malone who opened his hand at the top of the arc, Stockton was a little helpless, but he still passed.

"Alas, an invalid pass without an assist!"

Seeing Malone's singles stance, Stockton sighed, and then pulled aside, leaving room for Malone.

Ma Long's singles ability is still very strong. In this era where speed is not so emphasized, although his speed is not fast, it is still fast compared with the same position.

Therefore, Jazz games can often see Malone crashing into the opponent's defense like a locomotive.

Or a mid-range shot, or a basket, to end a round of offense.

But when he hit the ball like a locomotive, Lin Xing resisted.

"Hey, Malone is such a powerful beast..."

The top resisted, but Lin Xing was also hurt by the bump.

In fact, if you want to talk about strength, Malone is the best in the entire history of the NBA.

It can be said that in terms of body alone, Ma Long is worthy of everyone.

When Lin Xing endured the pain secretly, Ma Long was also surprised.

"It didn't break open, what should I do?"

He really wanted to ask what to do. Unlike Lin Xing, his breakthrough really didn't change, and he really only used a straight-forward locomotive collision.

This time, he didn't break open, so he only had two choices left.

Either shoot in place, or hit another one.

But hitting another one is too risky. As long as Lin Xing falls on the spot, it will be an offensive foul.

After all, at this moment, Lin Xing stood still.

It was impossible to hit him, but fortunately, his position at this time was already within his shooting range.

So Malone swayed sideways, then turned around and shot a jumper.

Lin Xing 90's single defense is not bragging, it is immediately a disturbance.

Bang!

The basketball hit the iron hard and smashed out of the frame.

This time, Ma Long not only scored 0 points, but also had an extra iron, which made him frown deeply.

This idea is a bit hard!

He frowned and retreated, but saw Lin Xing cross the center line, catch the ball and rush straight.

The Jazz's overall defense was not fast, Lin Xingteng moved out of an empty basket, and immediately without hesitation, he dunked a big windmill with a bang!

This buckle immediately shocked the house.

Of course, Jazz fans at the Delta Center couldn't possibly be cheering.

The only ones who cheered were the two commentators from NBC TV station. Marv Albert shouted: "This ball directly dunked a big windmill, and the movement was extremely stretched. It is directly at the level of the dunk contest!"

Matt Gudica also sighed with emotion: "I am looking forward to this year's slam dunk contest more and more..."

Director Zhang wanted to cry, he always wanted to see Lin Xing buckle a big windmill.

But since Yang Wu began broadcasting, Lin Xing has never held a big windmill.

It's not that he can't buckle, it's just his jumping, his wingspan, big windmills and so on, it's sprinkled water!
It's not that he doesn't want to deduct, one is that there are not many opportunities, and the other is that it is unnecessary.

Lin Xing still listened to Dominique Wilkins' suggestion before the season.

But this game was different. Lin Xing, who was fighting against Ma Long, was a little excited.

When the feeling arrived, he saw that there was an opportunity, so he directly deducted one.

It's a pity that Director Zhang still didn't see it...

It can only be said that time has passed.

Seeing Lin Xing finish buckling the big windmill and celebrate with his chest beating against the boos of Delta Center, Ma Long became more and more anxious.

As an opponent who had a big war of words before the game, it was agreed that there would be a fight in this game.

But there were obstacles outside the court, and it was estimated that it would not be possible to fight.

If he wanted to hide his cowardice, he couldn't lose with his performance on the court.

But now, Lin Xing has 10 points and 2 assists, and he still has 0 points.

The gap was so big that he couldn't accept it. Holding back his energy, he turned around and asked for the ball again.

But Lin Xing, whose strength was slightly smaller than his, once again withstood the impact of his locomotive. This attack seemed to have been killed at a high position.

Ma Long, who was so anxious that he just wanted to score, broke his dirty heart: You forced me to do this!
Turning his back and turning around again, his unique skills will appear in the world.

With a bang, Lin Xing was directly elbowed in the chest, staggered back a few steps, and almost sat down on the floor.

He couldn't help the pain in his chest, he took a breath and stretched out his hand to rub it.

beep!

Beep beep!

As the referee said, they have indeed been staring at Lin Xing and Ma Long.

As soon as Ma Long's elbow came out, the hasty whistle sounded immediately, not just once or twice, but a series of hasty whistles.

But at this time, Lin Xing also became anxious, and he directly pushed Ma Long who was still a little bit confused, thinking how Lin Xing would be fine this elbow.

Then, Lin Xing raised his fist, ready to hit Ma Lu's mandible.

But at this moment, a group of people rushed up and stopped him.

There are teammates, such as Madman, Xiao Chong, Tyrone Hill, etc., as well as referees. The line referees who approached rushed over directly, and their vigilance was not blocked.

There was even an opponent. Tyrone Corbin immediately blocked Lin Xing and pushed Lin Xing back.

Looking at Ma Long again, he was pushed hard and took several steps back.

I don't know if it's really inertia or there are other reasons.

But when he turned his head, he saw Lin Xing being hugged by a group of people, he immediately gained confidence, and went straight to kill Lin Xing in a daze.

Halfway through, he was hugged by Stockton.

So Malone yelled, "John, don't... let go! Don't... let go!"

Stockton rolled his eyes. With his little strength, Malone really wanted to break free, and he broke free as soon as he exerted his strength.

Therefore, Ma Long is pretending, and he might be cowardly in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Lin Xing's record is too tough.

They are all rookies in the 85 class, how could Malone not know Oakley's combat effectiveness.

That is an amateur fighter who practices a lot of free fighting in daily life. Although his strength is not as strong as his own, his skills are much better than his own.

But such an amateur fighter with outstanding skills was directly abused by Lin Xing.

After this match, Ma Long knew that even if Lin Xing's strength was smaller than his, it was not much smaller.

Coupled with his outstanding skills, if he really wanted to fight, he would definitely not be his opponent.

So, what did the media say before the game——

Although Lin Xing defeated Oakley, Ma Long is still the villain in this league who is not afraid of him.

It's all fake, don't believe it!
Seeing the referee blowing his whistle and slowly controlling the situation on the field, Malone also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Xing was furious, the referee intervened in time to prevent him from venting.

The referee could only let Malone give Malone a first-level malicious foul, which ended the battle that ended without a problem.

The unscrupulous reporters on the sidelines were very disappointed, and their unfriendly eyes flicked back and forth on the referees and players of this game.

On the court, Lin Xing began to implement an additional penalty for a first-level malicious foul.

Swish!
Additional penalty hits, 19 to 14, the Warriors' lead directly stretched to 5 points.

After the penalty, the possession of the ball also belongs to the Warriors.

Before the Warriors kicked off from the sidelines, Sloan made a direct substitution and replaced Malone.

On the one hand, it is to let Ma Long go down to calm down, on the other hand, it is also to avoid any conflict between Ma Long and Lin Xing.

Sloan was very calm. He knew that if a fight really broke out, it would be the Jazz who would suffer the most.

Therefore, this one must not be fought.

Malone was replaced with Tom Chambers, the Suns' backup center last season, and counting forward, he was also an All-Star starting-level center.

The reason why the sun let him go is because Oliver Miller's growth exceeded expectations, and the sun doesn't need him anymore.

But when he moved to the Jazz, Chambers played well, basically equal to another Malone in the Jazz's second team.

Now that he is on the court, the Jazz first made changes on the defensive end.

Lin Xing was still the same as before the conflict, with a straight jump.

He also has an elbow, but his elbow is not the same as Malone.

He elbowed, just to make the defender retreat.

Unlike Ma Long, as long as he swung his elbow, he was aiming at the opponent's life.

An elbow went in, but Lin Xing found a difference.

"The Jazz started to pinch defense, they went directly to a zone defense, and started to target Star University!"

To be honest, after entering the NBA, Lin Xing really didn't encounter zone defense much.

You know, in the NCAA, the opponents in almost every game will use zone defense and pinch defense to target themselves. In the NBA, it is a single defense and a big center to protect the frame.

Lin Xing never thought of this kind of treatment.

But it's normal to think about it, mainly because of the strength of teammates.

The Warriors' outside trio is nothing but a display.

Xiao Chong is an All-Star point guard, Mullin is an All-Star shooter, and Madman is also a shooting guard who gives him the right to play football and can make the best team.

With these three people at the periphery, it was impossible for the opponent to pinch Lin Xing.

But in this game, Sloan had no choice.

The main reason is that during this period, the Jazz have not yet got Greg Ostertag, the great big bear who can cap, and the inside guard is almost meaningless.

Lin Xing rushed up and swam directly in the Jazz's restricted area.

If you can't pinch this point, the Jazz can only lose.

Therefore, Sloan was forced to defend Lin Xing.

Once Lin Xing was pinched, the Warriors had to rely on the outside trio to top.

But in the first round when Lin Xing passed the ball out, Xiao Chong hit a fine iron.

Turning to the Jazz's offense, after Malone went down, they continued to focus on the pick-and-roll. Instead, they relied on Stockton to break through and contain the defense, and passed a backhand pass to Chambers.

Chambers received the ball and surprisingly scored a three-pointer.

That's right, Chambers has three-pointers, and the accuracy is even okay, but he doesn't shoot many.

Relying on this three-pointer, the score was suddenly forced to close to three points...

The next game will be a repetition of these two rounds.

Lin Xing was locked up, and the peripheral trio didn't feel well, and they hit the iron.

But in the end, I can still score one or two goals by relying on my personal ability.

On the other hand, without Malone, the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense is not that powerful after all.

At this time, they did not have Jeff Hornacek, relying on Stockton to support them alone.

After the first quarter, with a score of 29 to 27, the Warriors still only led by 2 points.

In the second quarter, Lin Xing led the second team to rush for a while, and directly rushed to a 7-point lead.

But in the second half, Lin Xing went down, and Malone took advantage of the situation to return, leading the Jazz's second team, and evened out the 7-point lag.

In this way, at halftime, with a score of 54 to 53, the Warriors only led by 1 point.

In the second half, Ma Long no longer avoided Lin Xing's edge.

He started to play normally, but he was very timid in confrontation, and he didn't dare to throw elbows anymore.

Lin Xing promised Stern and old Nelson that he would never make a move first, and he could not repeat the old score of the first half.

But the trash talk on his mouth started to go wild.

"Everyone says Karl Malone is a tough guy? I can't tell."

"Carl, take your pants off."

"Bie Nima turned her back, you idiot, look straight at me!"

Although there is no movement in his hands at all, Ma Long still upholds the style of a king with a strong mouth.

He shot back at Lin Xing: "You will know where your uncle Ma Long is later?"

But in this game, Ma Long played so poorly that there was only one pick-and-roll left to act as a wall.

?I really can't see it.

But in this game, the Jazz was ceded by Stockton alone.

He led the Jazz all the way to kill the Warriors, and the game ended in the final quarter.

Moreover, the suspense of the game was maintained until the last moment.
