Chapter 91 Utah Pick and Roll

For the first month of the new season, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month is Tracy McGrady of the Magic.He can contribute gorgeous data of 34.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6 assists per game.In view of Grant Hill's announcement that he is about to undergo ankle repair surgery and is reimbursed for the season, McGrady, who leads the team alone, will undoubtedly usher in a big data explosion this season.

The best player in the Western Conference is Kobe Bryant from the Lakers.After O'Neal left the team, Kobe was able to fully unleash his scoring firepower. In the first month, he scored 40 times many times, averaging 35.7 points per game, even surpassing McGrady, ranking first in the scoring list.

As for Garnett, he averaged 20.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, both of which were down from last season. After all, the team has Kobe, a terrifying scorer, and Big Ben, a rebounding madman, and his 6.1 assists per game is a record high. reached a new high.

After a long road trip, the Lakers, who returned to their home court, played back to back against the Timberwolves who came to challenge.

The Lakers were exhausted, and they used a rotation lineup for a long time. The starting five Tigers all played about 20 minutes.

The Lakers trailed by 15 points in the first quarter, and there was no turning point in the next game. Arenas was relentless against his old team, scoring 32 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Jermaine O'Neal on the inside was no less Jean, 25 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, made people temporarily forget about Kevin Garnett standing opposite him.

The Lakers swallowed a 90-107 defeat, and Kobe's streak of 40 points was interrupted.

After two days of rest, the Lakers ushered in the Grizzlies at home again.

They have played against each other twice in a week, and both sides are familiar with each other's routines. After the Grizzlies' youth team was killed last time, they were quite unconvinced. They went all out in this game and entangled with the Lakers until the last moment.

However, the inexperienced Grizzlies still lost the chain at a critical moment. First, Gasol tried to use his height to single out Ben Wallace, but he didn't pay attention to Garnett, who was helping to defend him. After the shot was blocked, Artes Tate completed a counterattack and scored, and then Jason Williams made a back pass error on the sideline show. The ball was not given to Battier in the bottom corner, but to Fisher on the Lakers bench.

The Lakers beat the Grizzlies 105 to 100.

Every time the Grizzlies and the Grizzlies are back-to-back first games, this makes the Lakers feel very helpless, especially when the next game will be a guest in Salt Lake City, at the Jazz's home court of the Devils - the Delta Center Arena.

Although it was a regular season, nearly [-] fanatical Jazz fans were already in place, and a few scattered Lakers fans stood out like lights at night in the sea of ​​white.

Although Shuangsha Karl Malone and John Stockton are getting old, John Starks and Byron Russell have also left the team, but with the growth of Andrei Kirilenko and With the joining of Titans Matt Harpering, the Jazz can still maintain a certain degree of competitiveness in the Wild West.

Of course, the competitiveness mentioned here is limited to competing for a place in the playoffs. Counting down from the coach Jerry Sloan, everyone knows that the team of the 41-year-old Stockton and the 39-year-old Karl Malone Team, it is impossible to compete for the championship ring.

In the game against the Spurs in the first two days, Karl Malone lost all face in front of Duncan and only made 16 of 1 shots. Within 30 minutes, the rest of the time was filled by another veteran point guard, Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson's career assists are about to break through the 10141 mark. This is an amazing achievement. You must know that Magic Johnson, who currently ranks second in total assists, only has this number fixed at [-].

As for the first, Mark Jackson felt that even if he played for another 10 years, he would not be able to catch up with the mediocre and skinny guard on the team.

If the arsenal of the Lakers is complete with all armed forces, including long guns and short guns, then the Jazz is the joint efforts of Stockton and Karl Malone to make an old mortar, one with ammunition and the other to aim and fire.

As the most basic coordination tactic, the pick-and-roll was played by these two old monsters as an art.Its essence lies in Stockton's perfect judgment on passing timing, combined with his pinnacle passing technique, although simple but extremely precise and practical, he can always seize the fleeting gap and pass the ball to the teammate in need .

On the other hand, Ma Long has his own unique skills in the choice of inside and outside cuts. The tried-and-tested routine is around 45 degrees. After using his strong body to provide a high-quality wall, Ma Long pretends to cut inside to attract the attention of the defense. Then suddenly take a step back to open up space. At this time, Stockton's pass will arrive on time, with a time difference of no more than 0.1 seconds.

The postman can use this small space to deliver his old man's precise shots to the opponent's basket.

Sure enough, the game developed in a direction that was unfavorable to the Lakers from the very beginning. Ben Wallace faced Greg Ostertag, a 2-meter-tall, 18-kilogram bear, and he played extremely uncomfortable. Ge didn't jump at all, but used his huge body to block Daben, preventing him from jumping, and then used his height to grab the rebound.

Malone's touch has fully recovered, and his mid-range shots are almost flawless. Although Garnett's defensive ability is extremely strong, defensive players have inherent disadvantages in the face of pick-and-rolls.

The Lakers lost their defense on the inside, and the outside line was full of conditions. Artest had been fighting against Haprin's soul and flesh since the beginning of the game, and basically made no positive contributions.Kobe felt cold under the defense of the famous cannon fodder Calporte Chaney, and only Billups performed normally.

What made the Lakers even worse was that Garnett jumped too hard during a defense and hit Karl Malone's raised elbow. Nate still had a gash in the corner of his eye and went back to the locker room to treat the wound.

In the middle of the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind 8-17, and rookie Carlos Boozer came into play to replace Kevin Garnett, who was injured and left the game temporarily.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, Billups held the ball on the wing, and Boozer came up to pick and roll.

Billups dribbles down the middle and Boozer cuts to the basket.

Malone and Stockton double-teamed Billups, while Harpering dropped Artest and returned to the basket to defend Boozer who was coming down to the basket.

Unexpectedly, Boozer suddenly stopped and retreated, opening up two meters of space, and Billups' pass also arrived at the same time.

Boozer made an ugly mid-range shot.

Haprin was in a trance for a while, as if returning to team training.

The camera showed Karl Malone, and the postman smiled.

"Boy, it's interesting!"
