Coach Lee

Chapter 318
Time flies, and March is drawing to a close.

Most teams have played almost 30 games, and this game is more than half over.

Some players are getting better and better, but some have not been able to get back to the state of last season.

Some teams play better and better, and some teams play worse and worse.

And at this time, the NBA's mid-season deal for this season has begun!

The first is the Lakers trade with the Hornets!The Lakers traded Eddie Jones and Campbell for the Hornets' three-point leader Glenn Rice.

Kobe hoped to leave Eddie Jones, but ushered in the All-Star player Glenn Rice.Competition for the ball has intensified.

After that is the trade between the Nets and the Timberwolves!

The billion-dollar contract that the Timberwolves gave Garnett is too hurt.If Marbury wants to be new, of course he has to go.

Marbury was finally traded to the Nets and teamed up with Nowitzki.It is unknown what kind of sparks the two will have.

The other teams also made some small moves to check for gaps and make up for gaps, but more energy was put into the game.

On March 3, there was a game that was particularly eye-catching, and that was the contest between the No. 30 76ers in the East and the No. [-] Jazz in the West.

……

"Huh~~"

When TNT TV commentators Kevin Harlan and Kenny Smith stepped onto the commentary booth, many 76ers fans at the scene gave "enthusiastic cheers".

Kevin Harlan waved his hands to the surroundings with a smile on his face, "Thank you, thank you Philadelphia fans for your welcome. Your support for me is the biggest motivation for me to explain basketball games!"

Kenny Smith on the side pretended not to hear or see, and stayed silently aside.He said silently in his heart: "You are so thick-skinned!"

The boos at the scene were quite loud, but Kevin Harlan didn't care. He had already started today's pre-match analysis,
"Today's game is a contest between the top two teams in the league. Both teams are currently 21-8...Philadelphia is the third back-to-back game today..."

After talking for a long time, Kevin Harlan finally remembered Kenny Smith next to him.
"Today, I think Karl Malone will definitely explode, ravaging Philadelphia's weak inside, and the Jazz will take away the victory. Kenny, what do you think?"

Kenny Smith's analysis is more objective, "I think Philadelphia will win the game at home. The Jazz failed to hit the championship last year, and they are one year older this year.

Stockton 37, Hornacek 36, Russell 29, Malone 36, Ostertag 26

And look at the starting lineup of the 76ers, Snow is 26 years old, Iverson is 24 years old, Li Nan is 21 years old, Coleman is 32 years old, and Ben Wallace is 25 years old.

The league is already dominated by young people. "

Kenny Smith has just retired for a few years, and there is a lot of emotion in his tone of dissatisfaction.

While the two commentators were talking, the game started on the field.

The Jazz got the ball at the beginning, Stockton and Karl Malone's classic pick-and-roll, Karl Malone succeeded in a withdrawn mid-range shot.

"Kenny, have you seen it? The two of the Jazz are not convinced at all."

However, before Kevin Harlan finished speaking, there were bursts of shouts at the scene.

"Li! Li! Li!"

On the court, the 76ers chased and hit the Jazz, and Li Nan hit a three-pointer from the outside.

"Kevin, the Jazz can't run today."

Of course Kevin Harlan knew that the Jazz couldn't run, not just today, the Jazz couldn't run yesterday and the day before yesterday, they were small and old, and big and slow.

"It's okay, the Jazz have long been used to this kind of game rhythm. They just need to slow down and play their own rhythm quietly. The 76ers play so fast, the shooting percentage is not high, and it is easy to make mistakes."

However, the game on the field was not as Kevin Harlan said.

The Jazz want to slow down and want to sharpen their positions.

But the 76ers played fast.Specialized in chasing, chasing the big Karl Malone and Ostertag's ass.The speed of returning to defense is extremely fast!

Unconsciously, the rhythm of the Jazz was brought up, and they also played a lot of fast breaks.During this period, many mistakes were made.

Although the 76ers have a fast pace, their shooting percentage is not low at all. As for mistakes, they are rare.

At the end of the first half, the game was 44-68, with a 24-point difference at halftime, and the Jazz had nothing to fight back.

Kenny Smith smiled, "Kevin, it seems that your prediction is not very accurate today."

Kevin Harlan was still stubborn, "In the second half, the Jazz will definitely come back in the second half."

However, in the second half, the 76ers still played fast, and the Jazz still wanted to drag the rhythm.As a result, the score between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

Whoosh!
With Li Nan hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the third quarter ended and the score between the two sides came to 68-100.

Kenny Smith also admired Li Nan's ultra-long three-pointer in the end.

"Wow! Beautiful! This is Li's third three-pointer in this quarter. In three quarters, Li scored 30 points and 6 assists. The difference between the two sides has widened to 32 points!"

Kevin Harlan on the side sat silently, not speaking.

In the fourth quarter, both sides dispatched substitutes, and the game directly turned into garbage time.

On the sidelines, the 76ers players muttered to each other.When Frank King threw a three-pointer on the court, Li Nan and the others excitedly waved the towel.Young people, full of vigor.

The Jazz players sat very lonely, Karl Malone's eyes were dull, Stockton closed his eyes and fell asleep, Hornacek leaned on the seat and didn't know what he was thinking...

Beep beep beep!
The game is over!
79-118,

The 76ers beat the Jazz by 39 points at home!
Li Nan scored 39 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks, 4 steals
Karl Malone scored 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks,

……

After the game, Kevin Harlan also said, "It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do. The Jazz are playing the second back-to-back game today, and it's an away game. Losing is a normal thing..."

Kenny Smith reminded, "Philadelphia is actually the third back-to-back game today."

Kevin Harlan: …

Seeing that he stopped talking, Kenny Smith took the microphone as a matter of course,

"This game makes us have to sigh, the league is now for young people..."

……

"The league is now young people's!"

The news the next day was also full of sighs.

Not only the Jazz are old, the Rockets are old, the Sonics are old, and the Knicks are old too.Many strong teams to watch this season are on the verge of the playoffs.

Wen Baker of the Sonics was injured, Ewing was injured, and bid farewell to this season.Rainman Camp is no longer fat, and Barkley, who is a little fatter, is not so flexible...

Veterans are slowly getting old.

Of course, newcomers are constantly emerging...

……

In a hotel room in downtown State College, Pennsylvania, today's NBA game is playing on the TV.

"Li, Li's three-pointer scored again! It's beautiful!..."

Coach Calhoun said to the disciples who were watching seriously: "Richard, Lee plays very well off the ball, and his stamina is even better than yours. When you enter the NBA, you still need to improve.

You don't have great explosiveness, and you're not very good at the game.Your strengths are excellent mid-range shooting and stamina.

Use your strengths, and put those tricky moves you've learned to good use, and you're sure to make a difference in the NBA. "

"Well, thank you coach, I will work hard." The disciple nodded, but his eyes were still fixed on the TV, not planning to say anything more.

"Hen~" Calhoun smiled and shook his head.

This kid Richard is too poisoned, he doesn't want to miss a game of the 76ers...
