BAB 133
After Michael Udin stepped onto the field, Kobe Bryant suddenly exploded with a terrifying force!
Kobe Bryant just broke the Utah Jazz in the air, he probably jumped a full meter!
"I didn't expect the Los Angeles Lakers to show so much energy today!
I even doubt that the conflict in the previous dressing room was a trick the team put out on their own!
You see, early in the game, Shaq's timely assist allowed him to break through the dilemma of being an infinite doubles team, and after Odin played, the Lakers were able to quickly change their style of play and become a fast break!
News about the Lakers, I'm getting more and more incomprehensible! "
No matter what he says about his heart, Magic Johnson still hopes the Lakers can play better and better.
"We are all professional players, and in a league like the NBA, smart people can tell the difference between things on and off the field.
I think Shaq looks intentional, but he still has the heart to fight for the championship, and Odin is a guy who knows how to defend. The series is still long, and the Lakers are not going to fall. "
As long as it's not too emotional, you'll find that media coverage can be somewhat addictive.
"Say no more, the momentum of the Lakers is still good today, at least not like the last game, and they will be defeated if they fight."
No one thought after this dressing room incident, the Lakers would perform better?
John Stockton organized the attack, this time Karl Malone calling for the ball from halfway!
Against Robert Horry's defense, Karl Malone pulls up a jumper after a few tentative moves!
Karl Malone's performance was very stable, and his shooting percentage was very good in the playoffs.
No one can criticize Robert Horry's defense, because everyone knows who his opponent is.
While everyone knows that mid-range shooting is Karl Malone's favorite offense, no one would be stupid enough to defend his mid-range shot and let him rush to the paint.
With Karl Malone's size and strength, making him stronger in the basket was tantamount to sending points.
This is the case, and coach Delmar Harris wants the Lakers to attack him.
Karl Malone scored, Michael Udin who was playing in 5th position and guarding the ring, wanted to send the ball to the baseline and immediately make a fast break, but for the Lakers, the Utah Jazz had been prepared for a long time, and Coach Jerry Sloan's arrangement was also targeted for this. .
Seeing that Michael Udin had no chance, he could only give the ball to Nick Van Exel.
Nick Van Exel quickly dribbled into the frontcourt, Bryant went straight through after receiving the ball, Chris Morris defended very well, and Bryant didn't have a chance to shoot!
The ball was moved, and after the spin, the ball came to Michael Udin, who was standing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc!
Michael Udin tries three threats, but Antoine Carr who defends him has no intention of saving him!
It's exactly the same as the previous game, but this time Michael Udin didn't choose to pass the ball to his teammates!
A very confident three-pointer on tiptoe, the ball goes into the net!
24-21, Los Angeles Lakers lead by three points!
After scoring the goal, Michael Udin retreated with an expressionless face, and his shot was powerful today!
After the first game, Michael Udin deeply contemplated his appearance. He concluded that if his three-pointer could not be fired, it would be difficult for the Lakers to change the Utah Jazz's defensive strategy from a tactical level!
In particular, Michael Udin scored two points with an earlier dunk. Although these two points are not obtained from shooting, it also greatly increases the shooter's confidence in shooting.
After Michael Udin made a three-pointer, John Stockton felt his momentum wasn't great, and he directed his team-mates to move!
Antoine Carr was quick to name outside the three-point line. Michael Udin wonders if veterans who make a living in singles inside this line still have a three-pointer?
It turned out that John Stockton had other intentions for the ball, when Antoine Carr stood still he handed the ball over and pulled it away.
By this time, Karl Malone was doing pick-and-roll, which meant that pick-and-roll was a roll call tactic. Because the opponent was covering, Michael Udin and Robert Horry could only passively switch defenses.
By this time, Antoine Carr was still dribbling, and Michael Udin followed Karl Malone to the low post.
Soon after, Antoine Carr found the ball to Karl Malone, who was all set for Karl Malone to eat Michael Udin at the low post.
Defending Karl Malone from behind, Michael Udin sensed Alexander, and when Karl Malone made a sudden force, Michael Udin passively took a half step back!
After pressing into a deep position, Karl Malone turned around with a small hook!
Michael Udin, who was hit and staggered, had no way of completing the first jump, he could only watch Karl Malone's score!
24-23!
When the Los Angeles Lakers strike, Michael Udin gets a one-on-one chance to take on Antoine Carr from outside the three-point line!
As soon as Michael Udin's three-point threat raised his hand this time, Antoine Carr subconsciously took a step forward!
In NBA-level confrontation, a slight shift in the defender's focus will be caught by the attacker!
Michael Udin immediately started breaking through!
Robert Horry also stands outside the three-figure line, and the Utah Jazz interior is empty!
Just when Michael Udin hit the stride point and took off on one foot and wanted to dunk, Karl Malone came to help hold out!
Long-range assists like that couldn't prevent Michael Udin's direct dunk, but Karl Malone didn't want to use a clean defense to block Michael Udin's attack!
Michael Udin, who was rushing from the side, was directly thrown into the air by Karl Malone and lost his balance! It's a pretty gross defensive move, but it's just a regular routine for Karl Malone!
Michael Udin fell to the side!
Just as Karl Malone beat Michael Udin in midair, Kobe and Robert Horry immediately stopped!
The two of them advance together to find Karl Malone!
"You're not a basketball player at all! You're killing people's jobs!" Kobe shouted at Karl Malone!
Kobe, who usually doesn't complain about fouls, couldn't stand it. As an observer, he judged Karl Malone's actions too bad.
"You're going too far. Actions like this shouldn't be done on the basketball court!"
Robert Horry who was quite calm today also criticized Karl Malone.
"You guys should go to Boy Scout camp and play games, the playoffs are not the place to be."
The indifferent Karl Malone felt no remorse or shame for his actions.
