Chapter 279 Rolling

The   Jazz attacked, and the Postman came to the high post for a pick-and-roll with John Stockton.

   At this time, Wang Tiejun switched defenses, followed John Stockton, and blocked the pass-and-receive line between him and the postman from behind.

  John Stockton rushed to the basket with the ball and did not dare to layup, so he could only pull to the left wing.

Wang Tiejun made a quick judgment at this time, because the postman was switched by Kevin Johnson at this time, which was equivalent to an open position. The most likely pass target of Bai Sha was He Sha, so when he pulled John Stockton to the left wing, Instead of following, he took a step up.

   At this moment, John Stockton turned and passed the ball to the high postman.

"not good!"

   An on-site commentator exclaimed. He saw Wang Tiejun's upward and lateral movement, which happened to cut into the pass-and-receive line.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh stretched out his hand, received a pass from Stockton, and completed a beautiful pre-judgmental steal.

"here!"

  The high-ranking lightning Kevin Johnson saw it and immediately began to turn around and go down quickly.

   "Whoosh!"

  Wang Tiejun threw the ball to Lightning, who caught the ball, quickly crossed the center line, and rushed into the frontcourt.

  The postman changed his defense against Lightning, and if Lightning's state dropped again, it wasn't something he could catch up.

"brush!"

  Kevin Johnson made an easy layup and hit a shot.

  4:3, Jazz attacked.

   This time, John Stockton pulled to the left wing, and the Postman took a step inside the three-point line for a pick-and-roll, and then used the wall to smash the ball into the paint.

   And this time, Pharaoh and Lightning didn't switch defenses, because they were doing pick-and-rolls here, and they were far from the basket, so they didn't need to switch defenses at all. With John Stockton's speed, Kevin Johnson could bypass the Postman and chase after him.

   But at the first moment when Bai Sha borrowed the wall to break through, Pharaoh still took a step laterally and blocked it first to gain time for Lightning to chase.

   Sure enough, after John Stockton bypassed him again, he was overtaken by lightning, and the Jazz's first pick-and-roll tactics failed.

   But the second pick-and-roll came right up, and left wing small forward David Benoit made another pick-and-roll.

  Kevin Johnson was blocked, and Dan Marley, who switched to David Benoit, was in average state, and his reaction was a beat slower, and John Stockton rushed into the paint area.

  AC Green returned from the right wing, and John Stockton quickly passed the ball to Tom Chambers, who was emptied, who took a leisurely jump and made a mid-range shot.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and the ball went down through the basket.

   "Continuous and patient pick-and-rolls finally created a big space for Tom Chambers. Although the pick-and-roll tactics are simple, they are practical." On the ESPN commentary booth, Rollin praised.

  4:5, the Jazz took the lead at home, the Suns attacked, and the advance was not fast. When they got to the frontcourt, they were not active and could not run to the open space.

  Pharaoh just hit the postman, and he didn’t have a position. In the end, Drexler stepped forward and threw a three-pointer from the outside.

   Lao Wang is ready to grab offensive rebounds. His teammates shouldn't feel very good today. He has to work harder here, and he can't let go of every rebound.

   And the postman's rebounding ability itself is average, his height and arm span are not as good as him, and he has an absolute advantage in rebounding.

"boom!"

  The ball was short and the basket bounced.

"mine!"

  Pharaoh grabbed the offensive rebound on the postman's head by virtue of his height. After landing, he used his right elbow to hold the postman outside so that he couldn't get close to him. Then he took off a second time and hit the basket with the ball in his left hand.

"boom!"

  Between the rumbling of the basket, the Suns cheered.

   "Old K made a second offense. Now he made 2 of 2 shots and 0 of 2 free throws. Now he has 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, and his performance is still good." Luo Lin said with a smile.

   Carter Oldman shook his head and said, "No matter how good he plays alone, he can't win against the Jazz. The rest of the Suns are not very excited. This state is not good, and we must be excited."

  Rollin said: "Just after the old K hit the postman, the rest of the Suns showed some excitement for a while, but it went down soon."

  6:5, Jazz attacked.

  The postman used the pick-and-roll to get a small open spot. After catching the ball, he saw that Pharaoh was defending him, and immediately took off, and at the same time raised his elbow by taking off the ball.

   "What's so special!"

   Old Wang Gang's teeth were bitten and his eyes widened in anger. Not only did he not dodge backwards, but instead he gave himself up and grabbed the ball directly from the air while being hit by the elbow on his left cheek with a snap.

The postman was unwilling and came up to grab the ball. Pharaoh is a man who will take revenge when he has revenge. He immediately put the ball on his chest, and turned around to sweep with his elbow. He hit the former in the face with one elbow. Can not help but retreat.

   "Whoosh!"

  Pharaoh threw with one hand, and the ball flew to Kevin Johnson on the outside.

But the fast break didn't come out. John Stockton got tangled up with the Lightning, and the latter didn't get entangled either, and passed it directly to Dan Marley, who advanced to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball out to Kevin Johnson. Organise an attack.

  Wang Tiejun went straight to the low position on the left wing, stuck his left elbow in place, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Ball!"

  The postman tried his best to defend, and with his upper body strength stronger than Pharaoh, he squeezed Pharaoh's left elbow abruptly, wrapped it around him, and cut off the pass and catch line to the top of the arc.

  Lightning took a look and quickly gave the ball to Drexler on the left-wing three-point line.

  The glider caught the ball, passed it on, and landed in Wang Tiejun's right hand.

   "Huh!"

  Pharaoh took a deep breath, and suddenly swayed down, making a bottom-slip motion.

  The postman still retreated this time, but he left room for his feet and did not approach Pharaoh too much to avoid being hit again.

   But at this moment, Lao Wang swayed and then jumped up and hit a frontal hook.

  Unfortunately, the ball was missed, the ball hit the basket a little, and the postman who was turned and snatched into the basket took the ball.

   Zhang Lei sighed and said: "It was a little bit short, and the opportunity completely came out."

  Su Qun said: "Old K's feint just now is still very similar. The postman has been swayed back, and his luck is a little worse."

"brush!"

The   Jazz played a fast break. Jeff Hornacek was indeed a good shot. He made a pull-up jumper on the right-wing three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

   "6:8, the Jazz lead by two points. The Death Light Gun made two shots and scored 6 points in a row with penalties. He is in good shape today!" Zhang Lili said.

   "The glider's defense didn't keep up, it seems to have been affected." Su Qun said.

   "Although Glider's defense is okay, he is still stronger in offense. This is also where he is inferior to Jordan, his defense is not as good as Jordan, and he is not a super giant that combines top offense and defense like Jordan." Zhang Lili laughed.

  Pharaoh decided to work harder tonight and play more offense around the basket.

   Of course, he was also affected by the poor sleep last night. He didn't have enough training in the afternoon, and his hand was not very good. Only by attacking the basket can improve the offensive efficiency.

   Entered the frontcourt and moved towards the basket. The Postman started to defend from outside the paint area, resolutely not letting him get close to the basket, or even letting him enter the paint area.

  The competition and collision of muscles, the super confrontation between the elbows and the elbows, the two are like two beasts, the muscles are bulging, and every moment is consuming a lot of physical energy.

The postman's upper body strength is stronger, but not much stronger, but his overall strength is weaker than Lao Wang. After fighting for two seconds, his lower plate could not be held, and Lao Wang pushed back by exerting force on his body. He, then forced his way into the basket and stuck it behind him.

   Kevin Johnson had already passed the ball to Drexler, attracting David Bennott's defense, and the glider hurried in.

   At this time, the Jazz only had the right wing, the weak side, and the strength to help defend the basket. Tom Chambers lost AC Green and threw himself into the paint.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh received the ball with his right hand. He saw Chambers' weak-side help defense and of course Green's open position, but he was not ready to pass the ball.

   At least in the first quarter, he is not ready to pass the ball. His teammates are in a normal state. Only when they are active will they recover. Only then will it be time to pass the ball.

  This ball, he has to play it himself.

   At the moment of catching the ball, the defensive power that was continuously pouring from behind suddenly skyrocketed, and the postman used his knees to push against his knee sockets. With his tonnage and strength, he was a little untenable at this time.

   "Boom!"

   He dribbled the ball abruptly, then turned and stepped back to face the basket.

   This action was very sudden and achieved the purpose of evacuating the air. The back tried desperately to prevent the postman from being flashed, and his body could not help but jump forward.

  The postman only thought that Old K would use his usual back-and-forth, and was about to try his best to defend, but he didn't expect Old Wang to come with this move, and he was completely dodged.

   In the next instant, Wang Tiejun stepped forward and slammed into the air. After he got up in the air, he pressed the postman below with his left hand, and smashed the basket with the ball in his right hand.

"asshole!"

  The postman's eyes were splitting, but he was already held down when he realized that he couldn't jump at all.

"boom!"

   There was a violent smashing of the basket above his head, and he was detained again.

"pretty!"

   On the ESPN commentary booth, Rollin roared excitedly: "Old K came up with a trick like Ewing's bunny jump, but instead of jumping, he stepped backwards. It's the same thing."

   "It's really beautiful. Old K rarely plays like this at the basket." Oldman praised.

   On the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili shouted with a smile: "Now Baping, Tiejun has scored six points in a row, and he is in good shape today!"

   "I just don't know how long it will last." Su Qun said.

   Zhang Lili said with a smile: "His physical fitness is very good now. He is at the top of the league. He should be able to play more. In fact, his physical fitness has always been good. It is understandable that he has some physical fitness problems in his rookie season."

   Looking back, John Stockton missed a shot, and Wang Tiejun made a comeback, attacking the postman under the basket.

  The postman was knocked back by an iron mountain. Seeing that Pharaoh wanted to block him again, his brain was congested.

   "Di!"

   This kind of action, the referee can't turn a blind eye, the postman is the second offense in the first quarter.

In the ESPN commentary booth, Rollin shook his head and said: "The postman is too calm. Originally, the Jazz had a chance today. Except for the old K, the Suns played very inactive, and now the foul is too fast. adverse effects.”

Oldman said: "Old K wanted to play at the basket today, but now that the Postman has committed a second offense, he will definitely continue to strengthen his attack at the basket. Now we can guess whether the Postman maintains the defensive intensity just now, or has some restraint. Woolen cloth?"

"brush!"

   At this time, Pharaoh made a free throw, and then the Jazz called a timeout.

   "Karl, you made one of the stupidest choices. I'm so disappointed! You are ruining the victory we had a chance to win." Jerry Sloan roared at the postman.

   The postman gasped and lowered his head, sweat dripping down, he didn't have the mind to wipe it, his mind was confused, and he didn't know what to do next to guard against that giant beast.

  Jerry Sloan didn't adjust any tactics. The Jazz had this lineup, and he couldn't replace the Postman. The offensive tactics were still pick-and-rolls.

"boom!"

   The timeout ended, Pharaoh missed the second free throw, the Postman grabbed a backcourt rebound, and the Jazz attacked.

   "Tiejun made 1 of 4 free throws, and it really doesn't feel good tonight, so let's focus on the basket. It's a little tired, but it can maintain offensive efficiency." Zhang Lili said.

   "9:8, the Suns lead by 1 point, and Old K scored 7 of them." Su Qun said.

"boom!"

   Hornacek missed a shot, Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

Lao Wang came to the low position on the left wing. When he saw that his teammates were still not very excited, he became a little anxious and shouted: "Everyone cheer up, didn't you just haven't slept all night? Just go pick up girls and run for me. ."

"Ha ha…"

   The media reporters behind the bottom line laughed.

   At this time, Old Wang continued to roar: "Run, run, warm up from now on, we must kill Jazz today!"

   "Run! Run!"

   Kevin Johnson roared while holding the ball.

"here!"

  Drexler ran back in a row, suddenly ran to the left bottom corner, and after throwing off David Benoit, he opened his hand to ask for the ball at the top of the arc.

   "Whoosh!"

   Without him shouting, Lightning's ball passed.

  The glider caught the ball, David Benoit threw the ball forward, and the ball bounced off the board and bounced into the hands of the low-position Pharaoh on the left.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   Pharaoh immediately started to hit the postman after catching the ball. Two consecutive hits made the postman untenable.

   At this point David Benoit turned to double-team, he immediately gave the ball to the glider, and then immediately turned around to get under the basket to grab the rebound.

  Drexler catches an open jumper and the ball goes to the rim.

   "Can you hit?" Zhang Lili asked loudly.

"boom!"

   missed, short.

   On the left side of the basket, Wang Tiejun and the postman took off at the same time. He was a little behind, and the postman was more inward, but he used his height to lift the ball from the postman's head, then took off a second time and caught the ball.

After    landed, he was more than one meter away from the basket, and the postman blocked in front, but he did not hesitate and immediately took off for the third time.

   At this time, the postman couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and the second offender didn't dare to pull anyone else, so he could only passively bear the deduction from Pharaoh.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun directly rammed forward, and while he rammed back the postman with his body in the air, he smashed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk-style dunk.

"yeah!"

  The Sun players cheered on the court, and the off-court bench was also enthusiastic.

   "Beautiful! Pressed the postman to complete the dunk. This attack was too strong, and it was another dunk. The postman couldn't guard against Old K at all." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

   "This ball is really domineering! The postman really doesn't have a great style under Tiejun's hands and is completely suppressed." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

   On the ESPN commentary booth, Rollin quipped: "The postman was detained by Mr. K in a row tonight, and he doesn't seem to be angry now."

   Oldman smiled and said: "With his height, it is common for him to be dunked under the basket, and it is also common to be capped. He is generally not angry and is used to it."

  Rollin laughed: "Speaking of deductions, it's been three seasons, and it seems that the behemoth of old K has not been detained."

Oldman laughed a few times and said: "The strong survive the weak, with his violent personality, who would dare to deduct him? I guess even the three super centers, as long as they dare to deduct him, there will be no good results. eat."

Rollin nodded and smiled and said, "I don't dare to try on the outside. With his strength, he is angered and pulled down, and it is possible for his career to be reimbursed. Therefore, such a violent beast, who wants to humiliate him with a slap button, You have to be mentally prepared.”

   "It's a completely unnecessary choice to trade your career." Oldman laughed.

   In the case of the postman’s second offense, Pharaoh did not hesitate to use his physical strength to continue to storm the basket. The postman himself couldn’t prevent him, and even more so now.

   In the first seven minutes, he made 6 of 8 shots and 2 of 6 free throws, scoring 14 points and helping the Suns lead by 10 points.

   Jerry Sloan saw that this was not the way to go. He could only take foul tactics and take advantage of the opportunity that Pharaoh's free throws were not allowed to bite the score.

   Next, the Jazz replaced Chambers and replaced the backup insider Adam Keefe, and this backup insider single-handedly defended Pharaoh and began to attack tactics.

  Wang Tiejun was fouled consecutively, his hand was really average today, and he made 1 of 4 free throws.

  Westphal saw that there was no way out. In the 10th minute, he simply replaced him and let him rest first.

   In the remaining two minutes, the Jazz took the opportunity to chase the points, but there was too little time to get back much.

   After the first quarter, at 32:24, the Suns were still ahead by 8 points, but the Jazz pulled back by two points.

  Wang Tiejun made 6 of 8 shots and 3 of 10 free throws within 10 minutes of a single quarter, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

   "The Jazz cut people. Now the Suns can only hope that their perimeter feel will recover. Otherwise, if they keep cutting, the Jazz can't stand it, and the Suns can't stand it either." Zhang rationally analyzed.

   "You should strengthen your defense and rebounding. In addition, the postman's offense is not very good today. The effect of old K's single defense against him is good." Su Qun said.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "I know Tie Jun best, the single defense is at least first-class, even close to the top. In terms of assist defense, he can make up if he can, but if he can't make up, he doesn't force it, especially the defense at the basket is very cautious. Except for the crucial moments, maybe the defensive end is going to explode."

   The second section will be played later.

   In this section, Pharaoh came on the court at the beginning, but did not attack again.

   Westphal assigned him rebounding and defensive tasks, as well as assisting points on the offensive end.

  Lightning started to age, lost its original top speed, could no longer use sharp breakthroughs to pull the opponent's defense, and his organizational ability also declined, so part of the organizational function was transferred to Wang Tiejun and Drexler.

   After the warm-up in the first quarter, Westphal thought it was time to try his touch on the outside.

   In this test, it was barely okay. After the first quarter, Wang Tiejun only scored two points. The team scored a total of 22 points, which is considered a pass.

   But the Jazz took advantage of this opportunity and pulled the score back by 4 again, 54:50, and they were still 4 points behind.

   In this section, Wang Tiejun grabbed 6 rebounds and sent 2 big caps.
