Chapter 177 The Second Game of the Western Conference Finals

It was a very quiet night for Thomas!Alice already lives in the school, eh!Lodging in Los Angeles is still very convenient!For the old man Thomas, such a quiet night is what he needs!

Use all the means within the rules, use all the means that can be used to win, only the winner will be remembered, and the loser will only get a poor evaluation, just as a footnote for the winner!

The next day's sports news reported a lot of the game between the Lakers and the Jazz!We must know that the ratings of yesterday's game created a new high since the Jazz game!Especially the game in the 4th quarter made everyone talk about it!

"The Jazz suffered Waterloo and was reversed by the Lakers! "At 7 minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers were still 10 points behind the Jazz. The Lakers amazingly reversed the result of the game!Without any arrangement from the coach, the main players of the Lakers broke their own strength limits and began to suppress the performance of the Jazz. The strength of all the players of the Lakers is shocking!
No coaching arrangements?hehe!Thomas looked at the statement in the newspaper, and it seemed that the Lakers had already become popular!Then don't care!

It's not that Thomas doesn't care, but Thomas knows that only a lot of things like this can pose a threat to himself, and the most important point is that the team led by Thomas is constantly winning!This is Thomas' greatest reliance!

The New Superstar of the Lakers!Kobe Bryant" The Lakers' new All-Star this year, Kobe Bryant, played extremely vigorously in this game, whether it was his dribbling attack that directly caused Malone's humiliating moment, or his passing in the face of La Searle's offensive and counterattack like nothing is a must-have quality for a superstar!He scored nearly 30 points in the whole game. This is a rookie in 96!And he's still a high school student!
We have no way of judging how far he will go in the future, we can only say that his potential is endless, and he has already released part of his potential!That's how it shocked the world!I'm looking forward to the emergence of another Jordan!

This is a report from a newspaper in Chicago!Seeing the newspaper's evaluation of Kobe, Thomas rubbed his chin playfully, very interesting!I didn't comment on other people just saying Kobe like this!hehe!If there is someone behind this, it will be more conscious!

"Crazy Fourth Quarter Battle!"Incredible fourth quarter! "This is quite normal to praise all the players of the Lakers and Malone's media!However, the only thing this article says about the coach is that Thomas was sent off the court!Um!For such a thing, Thomas already felt indifferent!

It seems that there are some people who look down on their own success!

Malone's Shame, Eternal Memory! "This is definitely the mortal enemy of the Jazz, and he still has a lot of grievances!Um!Seeing other people's misfortunes made Thomas feel better!Um!There are people more unlucky than me!

Thomas is in his room, drinking coffee, holding a newspaper, not prone to hangovers, not feeling anything special, yesterday's conversation as if it didn't exist!There is no hate without reason, and there is no love without reason!For Thomas, the mentors gave him the opportunity, which was the greatest favor to Thomas at that time!Thomas himself is not a truly perfect, pure and kind person, the first person he takes care of is definitely someone he cares about!
Thomas knew in his heart that the manager was not suitable for him!In the Spurs he did not have a bright future, in the Heat it was impossible to fulfill his ambitions, in the Knicks, there was some misunderstanding, but Thomas himself will never regret it, the myth reminds him, it is just a preparation for himself, no matter what, that There is only one champion!
The most important thing for Thomas is to win the championship!At the very least, one must be at that level to be qualified to do that!It's that simple.

On May 5th, the second game against the Jazz!

Starting from this game is the real contest, and everything will be fought by the players themselves!

Neither the Lakers nor the Jazz have changed their starting lineup. The Lakers are still the five strongest players!

Malone successfully jumped the ball, Stockton took the ball to attack, and faced Kevin's defense!The Jazz's offense is basically carried out in the pick-and-roll, but it is only a one-level pick-and-roll. The game tactics in 11 and 98 will be much different!
For example, now, Malone stepped forward, covered Stockton, and then walked out, leaving enough space for passing and shooting. When the Lakers double-teamed Stockton, Malone got the basketball, shot, the ball Enter!
Seeing this, Thomas signaled to his players on the field!Well, start changing your defense!

The Lakers attack, Hill takes the ball inside and prepares, O'Neal prepares for the basket on the other side, Barkley pulls away Malone's defense from a long distance, the Jazz immediately double-teams Hill, and Hill faces Hornace Gram's advantage is very large, one acceleration will throw the opponent away and score the ball!
The Lakers' triangle offense finally has a relatively tacit level of understanding!To create a distance so that teammates can attack, this kind of thing has already been done very smoothly!
The Jazz attacked, and Malone stepped forward to prepare for the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, the Lakers defended Malone with two people this time!Seeing this situation, Stockton had no one to defend himself, and immediately made a mid-range shot, and the ball went in!
"Remember! Malone's offense is the most threatening point. Once he encounters a pick-and-roll, Malone is blocked for me. Stockton wants to attack. He has no way to get it in a game. For 40 points, the first is physical strength, and the second is skill! Even if he scored 40 points and did not organize the team, we must have won!" Thomas pointed at Stockton on the tactical board and said fiercely!
Stockton is not the kind of player who can single out everyone!The Lakers team gave Stockton all the opportunities to attack like this!

"Ma Long is now the top few players in the league. We have no way to lock his offense, but what we have to do is to let him run continuously, let him continue to seek opportunities, and let him spend a lot of time in running. He has too much physical strength, he is also a human being, it is impossible for the whole audience to be so focused, but we cannot give him the opportunity to attack at the basket, his outside shooting will not be so accurate, even if he is accurate, he will also become a player. An outside player, unless he becomes Jordan, even if he is accurate in this game, I will admit it. What I am afraid of is his offense at the basket and running and catching the ball. Only in this way will his shooting rate drop. Don’t worry about a team like the Jazz, it’s impossible to win or lose in 2 or 3 games, we want to deplete their future possibilities! We have already won the opportunity!”

For the Jazz, the Lakers gave up their defense of the three-point line and only tightened the inside line. Stockton had no room to pass the ball inside. The team began to focus on outside shooting, rather than the previous championship team that combined inside and outside!
Instead, the Lakers' offense starts from the inside, not from O'Neal of course. The Jazz's two big centers, one main and one on the bench, will do their best to stop O'Neal. For the Lakers, O'Neal does not have the power to hold the ball. Will be even stronger!Because he attracted the attention of at least 3 people!

The Lakers do not want to win by O'Neal scoring more than 30 points in every game and losing the game!Instead, relying on the whole team's offense, combining inside and outside to break down the opponent, let the opponent lose the game unknowingly!

But once Malone switches defenses and defends O'Neal at the basket, the ball will be passed to O'Neal immediately. At this time, the two superstars will not back down. The defense is about the same!

"Why does it feel like the Lakers' defense seems to have given up on Stockton? John has already shot 4 three-pointers! Although his shooting percentage is very high, the Jazz have no offense at the basket! Malone even We didn't get a point, it's already the 6th minute! This is not a normal situation!" Derek, the game commentator, looked at the situation off the field and said very puzzled!
