Chapter 551 The runaway Lin Han and Ma Long!(1/2)
In the Energy Plan Arena, there are many surprises!
The rush of Lin Han and Ma Long in the Energy Solution Arena made Stockton, who was standing on the court, want to get out of the game directly!
This game really tortures him!
In this game, Lin Han played point guard, and Stockton and Lin Han faced.
After Lin Han left, the Jazz lacked sufficiently excellent outside defense players.
Stockton's defense is excellent, but it's only 1.85 meters.
Steve Smith is 2.01 meters, which is considered high among the shooting guards.
But the defense is soft and quite loose.
Besides, Steve Smith is used to attack, so it would be a waste to let him spend his energy on defending Lin Han.
Therefore, the situation for Jazz outside players is that one is too short and not suitable for pinch attacks, and the other is too bad for defense.
Finally, facing Lin Han, the Jazz either had one-on-one defense from Stockton, or had a small forward Brian Russell defending Lin Han one-on-one.
Brian Russell is a pretty promising defensive player.
However, facing an offensive player like Lin Han and Jordan who control the ball is amazing and has rich skills, letting him defend is no different from delivering food.
Russell's pace is too slow and his defensive experience is not enough.
Finally, Jerry Sloan chose to use Stockton to defend Lin Han alone in this game.
Jerry Sloan's purpose is also very clear, that is, he will not allow Lin Han to dribble too much and force him to beat Stockton.
Jerry Sloan's defensive choice against Lin Han is also an innovation.
Before, other teams faced Lin Han, they didn't dare to defend one-on-one at all, and they were all attacking each other.
The difference is whether it is a two-outside clamping attack or an inside and an outside clamping attack.
Jerry Sloan also wanted to attack Lin Han, but the Jazz's current lineup was flawed and he couldn't do it.
The fourth position is Malone, the first position is Stockton, the second position is Steve Smith, and the fifth position is Spencer.
Except Russell, he really can't come up with other players to attack Lin Han.
In the end, I had to be grateful for Stockton.
On the defensive end, Stockton wanted to defend Lin Han alone. In this offensive end, Malone was not ready to play pick-and-roll with him, and his role was also lost on the offensive end.
Stockton became the most annoying "former Jazz Big Three" on the court, and could only watch Lin Han and Ma Long compete.
In the first quarter of this game, Lin Han scored four three-pointers in a row, Lin Han and Ma Long started the scoring mode.
The Lakers were so crazy that Malone was so chiseled by this game because of a foul crisis in the inside.
Responsible for defending Ma Long's inside line, going up and down and going up again.
These Lakers' inside players took a lot of fouls on Malone.
This is a very special situation. Because I was not prepared and after being strongly disrupted by Malone, the Lakers' inside players couldn't get enough.
The next time the two teams meet, Lin Han believes that Rodman and the others will definitely adjust.
But they really explained this game here.
In the end, there was no way, and it was replaced by Mutombo to defend Malone.
"After Malone strengthened his attack power at the basket, his offensive threat is second only to Lin Han and Jordan in the league! Mutombo is in a very embarrassing now, and he feels like he can shoot. Malone is shorter than O'Neal, which makes it impossible for him to have stronger offenses at the basket, but he can shoot!"
"Beautiful half-basketball, Mutombo was afraid of being knocked away by Malone again, so he chose to take a step. Malone had no hesitation for his shot! This is his dessert position this season!"
Kevin Longley is fifty-six years old this year. He went to the Pistons as a player in 1962 and has been in the league for more than 30 years.
He has never seen any inside player who plays like Malone!
He has super strong inside players like O'Neal, and has a stable shooting ability than defenders. Even his athletic talent is cruel and not inferior to ordinary small forwards.
Isn’t this kind of player who seems to be omnipotent on the offensive end the only ones in NBA before, Lin Han and Jordan?
When can Malone be like this?
The NBA has developed too fast this year, and one thing has made Kevin Longley unable to find the rhythm.
Everyone has known Ma Long's physical talent and shooting ability before, and it is no wonder.
After developing a strong insider, he has now become the most comprehensive insider killer in NBA history.
In this game, Malone did what Olajuwon, Barkley, Admiral and O'Neal had not done before.
Regardless of whether it was Malone's sneak attack or not, from the game situation, the Lakers' super strong inside line on the defensive end this season was so bad that they were not even left.
However, even though Malone was so violent, Jerry Sloan on the sidelines looked at the score, and the score between the Jazz and the Lakers was still in a state of anxiety.
If you can't pull the score difference, you really can't pull the score difference.
Ma Long is very efficient and has a hit rate of more than 70%!
But on the other hand, Lin Han really dared to make a shot against Stockton's single defense!
Can Jerry Sloan not be familiar with Lin Han’s tricks?
This is the cancer-like pull that Lin Han can stimulate him to heart disease in one iron game.
Coupled with Lin Han's cancerous turn and leaning back, these are Lin Han's two unique tricks.
Compared with Lin Han when he was a Jazz, Lin Han is much more stable on the offensive end now!
This season, he has never heard of Lin Han hitting more than 30 irons in a game.
This season, Lin Han took a lot of three-point shooting outside the three-point line, and his shooting percentage was not too explosive in each game, but he was always able to stay around 50%.
It is completely different from Lin Han who might have had 40, fifty or sixty games last season or last season.
Lin Han's current three-point shooting stability has improved a lot.
Stockton couldn't defend against Lin Han, and his height could only watch Lin Han pull out.
Even so, Jerry Sloan would not dare to replace anyone else to replace Stockton's defense.
It is better than the others who are lost by Lin Han.
After all, Stockton is a defender who almost never loses position.
So, if Malone is causing the Lakers' inside line to turn upside down, then Lin Han is causing Stockton to be tortured to death.
As a famous defensive expert in the NBA, Stockton is now desperate to be beaten by Lin Han like face-to-face ***.
Perhaps this game set a record of the total number of his career being awarded.
When the competition was at this level, everyone could see that Ma Long was really competing with Lin Han.
Moreover, the two really didn't compete with anything else, just to compete in offense.
In the first quarter, Lin Han scored 21 points in the single quarter with 6 of 12 shots. In the second quarter, Lin Han also shot more in a shorter playing time, and still scored 21 points in 7 of 13 shots!
In the first half, Lin Han made 12 goals with 25 attempts, and all of them were three-pointers against Stockton!
On the other hand, although Ma Long's attempts in technical statistics are far inferior to Lin Han, with only 16 shots, he hit 12.
And many of his shots and attacks turned into free throws.
He scored 18 goals in just halftime and made 17 of 18 free throws.
In the first half, Malone also scored a high score of 41 points!
Because of Lin Han and Ma Long's efficiency, the scores of the two teams have been entangled.
"Who will win now depends entirely on Lin Han and Malone's physical fitness, and both of them are the top in the league. The defensive intensity of both of them is limited in this game. Rodman was beaten early and did not dare to make moves, Mutombo was also afraid to shoot a mouse and did not dare to stick too tightly. Moreover, neither team dared to double-team. The Lakers are afraid of the Jazz's outside shooting ability and Malone's passing ability. The Jazz are limited to their own players' defensive conditions that cannot match Lin Han."
"It seems that this game will be played until the end before the winner will be decided! Larry, do you think that Lin Han's touch is actually very bad in this game?"
Such a three-pointer shot is nearly 50% shooting, and the touch is not good?
"When Lin Han faced Pippen and Jordan's slim attack, he had so little shot space. His three-point shooting percentage was close to 50%. Now facing Stockton's single defense alone, his shooting percentage was still 50%. Larry thinks, if Lin Han's poor feel, Stockton's single defense effect would be comparable to Jordan and Pippen's slim attack effect?"
This is really a strange thing.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Lin Han faced Stockton's single defense, not to mention that his shooting percentage was the same as Malone.
But at least it is higher than when facing Jordan Pippen.
"Maybe Lin Han's three-pointer has reached a state where the shooting rate has nothing to do with defense. It's like throwing a coin, the back or the front, it has nothing to do with the strength of throwing a coin, it's only related to God."
"I like Larry's explanation. Maybe other teams in NBA can find new ways to limit Lin Han from this game. As long as Lin Han doesn't throw an open three-pointer, his open three-pointer is too terrible. Other teams can find a small player with excellent defense and not lose position to defend him. By the way, this small player must react quickly. Every time Stockton is knocked away by Lin Han, he can always stand in front of him again before Lin Han makes moves."
"Kevin is right. Lin Han scored a lot in the first half, but Stockton's defense against him was also successful."
"So, I can understand what Larry meant that Stockton successfully defended Lin Han and only scored 42 points in the first half?"
"Hahahaha, you can understand that this is Lin Han, a player you can only pray that God will favor you"
"But today it seems that God is really favoring Jazz and Malone."
Whether it is the help of God or the help of God, the Jazz's performance in this game is really good.
