Chapter 43: Jazz Wu (recommendation required)

Time turns.

When the first CBA League was held in China on time at 19.35 on the evening of December 1, 1995, Yenching time.

It was already the morning of December 2, 1995 on the other side of the ocean in the United States.

Because on this day.

The New York Hans will be a guest at the Triangle Center Arena to challenge the Utah Jazz, which is now fourth in the West.

In fact, this game is quite interesting.

Kevin Garnett, who debuted for the first time, is already eager to try.

During the month-long "Snow Treasure" time, he was completely fed up with the days of taking money and not doing anything.

It is not appropriate to use idlers to compare Kevin Garnett's current situation, but Xianyu is fairly reliable.

In this month, in addition to his daily training, he could only sit in the auditorium of the Island Garden Arena and watch the team's game.

To be honest, the feeling of being an audience is a bit awkward, especially when he is struggling from snacks to work everywhere to make money to support his family, and he doesn't do anything unexpectedly, which makes Kevin Garnett really unaccustomed.

So after the team's head coach Paul Westphal announced that he "unblocked" and took the position of the starting power forward, Kevin Garnett finally left tears of excitement.

You must know that the result of his discussion with his agent Eric is that the team may continue to "snow" him after the All-Star game!

Now shorten the time to one month, the team is enough.

With the mood of being on the NBA for the first time, Kevin Garnett performed extremely hard today, and his shot warm-up before the game was also very active.

He was expecting to make the Utah Jazz famous in this game.

But what Kevin Garnett never expected was that in the game time after this game, it would become one of the most memorable games in his career.

...

The game is about to start.

PJ loudly announced the starting lists of both parties.

First introduce the starter of the home team Utah Jazz:

Center: Felton Spencer

Power forward: Karl Malone

Small forward: Chris Morris

Shooting guard: Jeff Hornacek

Point guard: John Stockton

Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz, sent the strongest lineup as soon as he came up. The "Jazz Big Three" is not a vegetarian. The performance this season is quite domineering.

On the other side, the New York Hans started:

Center: Alonzo Mourning

Power forward: Kevin Garnett

Small forward: Jamal Marshburn

Shooting guard: Ron Harper

Point guard: Jason Kidd

Looking at the New York Hans lineup in this way, it seems that it is no worse than the Utah Jazz.

Although the Utah Jazz has the "Big Three" and its strength goes without saying, the New York Hans can also come up with a mini version of the "Big Three" mode!

Is the combination of Alonzo Mourning + Kevin Garnett + Jason Kidd a mini version?

However, in addition to Alonzo Mourning's current worth, Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett are still fresh rookies and need a lot of competition to become giants.

"Dududu!"

The centers of both sides are ready to jump the ball.

There's really nothing to say, Spencer can beat Mourning?

Just kidding, the first attack must be the New York Hans.

After Kidd got the ball, he took possession of the ball and advanced for half the field, and Stockton immediately went forward to make a defensive press.

Kidd suddenly broke through Stockton's defense and passed the ball to the unguarded Garnett in the penalty area.

Boom!

The latter made a slam dunk, and the Hans took the lead and also declared the strength of the New York Hans in this game.

After filling the blue, Garnett also provoked like a Jazz player.

Malone and Stockton watched.

The ball is really wonderful, no one thought that Kidd would suddenly rush into the penalty area, so that the memorable Malone missed Garnett, who was easily dunked by the latter.

Of course, this is just an opportunity. In addition, the Jazz is not familiar with Garnett, who has never played, so it is inevitable that there are omissions.

Next it's the Jazz's turn.

Stockton's leisurely possession of the ball to advance, Kidd's offensive desire is not good, but the defense is still nothing to say, has been close to Stockton.

Stockton will take a look at Malone in the penalty area. Stockton smiled sinisterly in his heart. After the ball was passed to Malone, Malone beat Garnett, who was obviously thin.

Malone's big body, which is what Garnett can resist now!

The result is obvious, Malone played successfully.

2:2

In this opening, the two sides almost reached a tie.

Go to the New York Hans to serve again.

This time Kidd still held the ball forward. Looking at Garnett, who is currently calling for a card position with Malone, Kidd shook his head in his heart.

Can't put the ball into the penalty area. Don't say Mourning has been dragged by Spencer. Garnett's small body squeezes and collapses. At this time, passing the ball in is not giving away the ball!

This business is not worth it.

Kidd took another look at Marshburn and Harper, who were running frantically next to them.

As long as you run out of the open space, I will pass the ball to both of you.

Kidd kept pressing on time, and sure enough, Marsh finally shook Morris away and ran out of neutral.

Kidd immediately passed it to Marshburn, who had run to the corner, and the latter shot directly outside the three-point line, hollowing into the net.

In the next game, the Jazz fully demonstrated the demeanor of a strong Western team.

Jerry Sloan’s pick-and-roll tactics are definitely not ideal when used on other teams, but if they are used on this team, they will not run.

The simple pick-and-roll tactics used by both Malone and Stockton are superb.

As long as Malone's sturdy body moves to a high position, it will be able to drag the Hans' defensive line at once.

Don't forget that Hornacek, a great scorer, is hidden from the outside.

As long as Malone gets stuck on the defending player of the Hans, he can immediately become the team's strongest scoring point after receiving the ball.

Coupled with the passing master of Stockton, this is definitely the most organizing point guard in the league today, and there is currently no one.

(All Kidd kids still need to continue to practice.)

With Stockton dividing the ball, he can always find a teammate who runs to the right position at the right time, and then give full play to his teammate's firepower output.

This is the pick-and-roll strategy that Jerry Sloan is quite proud of.

However, this tactic can only be used for the Black Wind Shuangsha combination of Stockton and Malone.

As long as these two people are not there, the effect of the pick-and-roll tactics will drop to half.

Many teams know this tactic, so it is easy to counterattack against this tactic.

Without the right pick-and-roll players, everything is in vain.

It's really good to take an old saying in Huaguo, which is to use what kind of person is suitable for what kind of thing.

Of course, the New York Hans is not a corner. Although limited by pick-and-roll tactics, the team's scoring success rate is high!

Except for Kidd, a guard who doesn't love his scoring, all the other starters have scored.

At the end of the first quarter, the Jazz also led by 4 points.

In the second quarter, both sides sent a substitute.

Let the starters have a good rest.

But even so, the scores of both sides are still anxious.

But what is surprising is that the Hans insiders have improved.

Perkins + Oakley's double-elder combination can still rush the Jazz's penalty area.

The biggest reason for the failure to tie the score is the outside line of the Hans. In addition to Aaron McGee's scoring ability, Bowen and Armstrong can't help the team offensively.

They are defensive players, they still don't have the defense, but offense can't flatter them.

Now this has evolved into the Hans directly looking for the inside if they have the ball.

The Jazz, on the contrary, scored desperately from the outside.

The two sides kept playing back and forth until they all started.
