Chapter 168 The Jazz's Biggest Flaw
The plan to cut down the Bear was very successful. After all, not every team has a big man with a soft touch.

However, cutting the bear is the same as cutting the bear, and Meng Yifan's expression changed first: Although the Warriors have been letting the big white bear Ostertag stand on the free throw line, the score between the two sides did not open up. Even before the second quarter ended, many Warriors players committed four and five fouls, but the Jazz still maintained the lead.

As far as the free throw level of the Pyrenees is concerned, it is currently 11 of 4, with a shooting percentage of less than [-]%. Compared with when the Spurs played the Lakers in later generations, O'Neal's free throw percentage at that time was higher than that of the current Pyrenees.

So why can the Jazz still beat the Warriors and stay ahead?There is no other reason, that is, Ma Longdi has saved the team in distress many times.

As for the shark hacking tactic, it is to pull O'Neal to the free throw line, and then Duncan and Robinson grab the rebound. Facing the unknown Lakers power forward Horry, they both expressed their happiness.

As for the bear slashing tactic, it is to pull the big white bear, which has hindered Malone's inside performance, to the free throw line, and let Malone go all out to grab the rebound unscrupulously. Anyway, no matter who he hits in the air, he is not a teammate, and it is not a big problem if he moves a little too much.

Under such circumstances, Ma Long played like a fish in water inside, taking whatever he wanted, and directly playing the demeanor of himself as the number one power forward in the league in the first battle. Even the rookie from San Antonio next door, Duda, felt inferior.

So what about the current situation, that is to say, if you don't cut the bears, it is clear that the chariots and horses are definitely not as good as the Utah Jazz, but if you cut the bears, not only will you not open the score, but after paying a lot of fouls, you will find that there is not much effect.

(Vitch’s old thief: Nonsense, the Lakers O’Neal has absolute dominance in the interior, the same type is Howard, and coach Chamberlain, these are the ones who can’t show their skills when they reach the free throw line, and the team has crippled more than half of them. Kind of. You beat Jazz up and chopped up the most useless big pyrenes, aren't you an idiot.)
Now the commentary of the major sports channels is probably like this:
"Now the Warriors are attacking. Well, we can see that it is Shan Tao who is giving the ball to the free throw line."

"Facing the defense of the Great Pyrenees, Shan Tao raised the ball with both hands to observe, and then passed the ball to Stephen Jackson who cut inside..."

"Jackson threw off the defense for a layup, and was slapped by Malone who assisted in the defense. I have to say that Malone's physical strength is really good. Even after a high-intensity confrontation for so long, he can still quickly assist in the defense. Big hat!"

"Okay, let's take a look at how the Jazz attack. In the regular season, the Jazz achieved a good score of 62 wins and 20 losses. They are the best in the Western Conference. related to the offense."

"Hey, Mullin of the Warriors made a foul without the ball on Ostertag on the inside, because the number of fouls in this quarter is enough, and the big white bear Ostertag needs to make free throws. And Oster Tugg's free throw percentage this season is 47.9%, and it stands to reason that he can score one of two free throws."

"To say that the Warriors' tactic today is the same as they played against the Lakers in the regular season. They all let the opponent's inside center stand on the free throw line. This tactic is like a nightmare for these big men with unstable free throws. ah!"

"Here, I would like to remind all young players that they must practice their basic skills well, so as not to be targeted like this..."

"I missed the first free throw. Coach Meng took advantage of Ostertag's unstable free throws. As long as you dare to go inside the big center forward, we will dare to cut. Bet your big man's shooting percentage is definitely not high. "

"But I don't understand this tactic very well. The reason why I beat O'Neal against the Lakers is because of O'Neal's unstoppable offensive ability inside. Putting O'Neal on the free throw line and letting him shoot no matter how hard he shoots is better than being beaten inside. And the Jazz's O'Neal Turtag is just an insignificant little character, and the Jazz can abandon it at any time if they want."

"You are wrong, the Jazz cannot abandon Ostertag." At this time, Mu Tiezhu, the guest commentator, saw the clues. As one of the strongest centers in the history of the national team, Mu Tiezhu is not just In addition to his height, he also has an excellent golf intelligence. Whether it is understanding of tactics or playing skills, he is as strong as anyone else.

"On the inside of the Jazz, the only one who can match up with Shan Tao is Big Pyrenees." Boss Mu said meaningfully, but Director Zhang was still confused when he heard it. What's wrong with Shan Tao?Can't you learn the tactics of Georgetown University in the past, playing fast break with one big and four small?

"Coach Meng said before that the Jazz's biggest problem is actually their coach." Mr. Mu Tiezhu added a word, and stopped talking, but went to watch the game with peace of mind.

Why did the Great Pyrenees keep failing to score free throws, and the old coach Sloan still didn't take him down?The reason is simple, the Great Pyrenees can also defend against Shan Tao on the defensive end, and exhaust his energy. To put it bluntly, the Warriors can steadily suppress the Jazz on the inside and Shan Tao, and the Jazz are stable in other points. win.

As long as Shan Tao can be prevented from exploding, Big Pyrene Bear's free throws will pull his hips. It's not a big problem, and other points can be recovered.This is the inner thoughts of the old coach Sloan.

But Sloan ignored a problem: right now, all the team members are online and desperately want to win in order to hold the score and lead faintly, so if it is said who in the team is not performing properly?Or did the Pyrenees suddenly fail to throw free throws?
When Meng Yifan was in his previous life, when analyzing the Jazz, many people thought that they succeeded in Sloan and lost in Sloan. Sloan was completely old-fashioned, without much flexibility, and went around the world with a pick and roll.

Now that the Jazz are in the lead, Sloan is unwilling to take the initiative to seek changes, so it depends on the teams on both sides, who will have problems first...

Meng Yifan didn't know who had the problem first, but he dared to assure that the Jazz couldn't hold on first. There was no other reason. No one else on Jazz's side had ever touched the ball except for Big Pyrenees and Stockton. .

Well, after all, there was a foul as soon as halftime passed. Except for Stockton who dribbled the ball and Pyrenees who served the ball, basically no one else touched the ball.

Why does the Spurs emphasize team basketball and conduction of the ball? Although it is said that more conduction of the ball will lead to mistakes, but in the same way, if there are too many conduction balls, everyone touches the ball, and the feel will gradually become hot.

As for the Jazz, Sloan remains unchanged, so let’s enjoy the Great White Bear’s symphony. Anyway, I saw Malone’s [-]-for-[-] mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, and Hornacek and Russell both hit open three-pointers from the outside. At that time, Meng Yifan smiled very happily...
