096: Crisis Salt Lake City(1/2)
Li Ang actually stole the ball from under the nose of MVP, successfully saved the ball and assisted his teammate to hit a three-pointer.
In the first offensive round after his comeback, Li Ang did not disappoint.
After all, few rookies can perform like this in front of MVP players.
When rookie Allen Iverson passed Mike Joe, this scene became a classic.
And now, Li Ang faces Malone, and fans are also looking forward to Li Ang creating some classic scenes.
for example......
Knock Ma Long down with an elbow or something.
There is no way, given Li Ang's current offensive level, fans can only look forward to Li Ang's performance in combat.
Although Li Ang had just successfully intercepted Malone and helped the team take the lead, the mood of the Salt Lake City fans was not too disturbing.
It's just opportunistic. How many goals can you score by relying on this opportunistic method?
They still firmly believe that the Jazz can defeat the Raptors, who have lost three games in a row, with a crushing attitude.
The Jazz's offense remained as usual. Facing the pick-and-roll again, Li Ang did not switch defenses, but chose to follow Malone.
But we can't let him cut in easily anymore.
As a result, this time, it was Stockton who scored.
His precise mid-range jump shot left Irvin Williams at a loss.
"Tracy!" Uncle Butch walked up to Maddie and shouted.
It was a breath of fresh air, and Butch was also quite angry at being looked down upon by Sir.
If you want to say that in a series, it may be really difficult for the Raptors to beat the Jazz.
But what's wrong with winning a game?
Today, he decided to increase Tracy McGrady's playing time and fight against Stockton.
Anyway, end the losing streak!
After that, the two sides fought for several more rounds, and the Jazz still had the advantage.
Until a Raptors attack, Li Ang pushed Malone away, cut inside, and received Carter's pass.
This was the first opportunity for Li Ang to attack with the ball under Malone's defense today.
Li Ang took two big steps and was about to attack the frame, but the strong Malone directly grabbed the jersey and pulled him to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded, but Malone didn't regret it because he deliberately committed the foul.
When I say increase the intensity, I must increase the intensity.
Look at you kid, you're still arrogant!
Li Ang did not rest on the ground, but stood up quickly, then patted the dust on his shoulders and looked relaxed.
The purpose of Malone's intentional foul was nothing more than to teach Li Ang a lesson, cause Li Ang pain, and act as a deterrent.
Therefore, Li Ang showed a relaxed look, which is equivalent to telling Ma Long: "Damn brother, haven't you eaten? Fuck me harder!"
"Okay, boy, you are so tough!" Oakley rushed up and patted Li Ang hard on the back.
As expected of my apprentice, even if he was fouled by Malone, he could act like a normal person!
"master......"
"What are you doing?"
"Easy...be gentle, it hurts..."
"Ah this..."
If you say it doesn't hurt, that's a lie. You're just trying to hold back the pain and get angry.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Tracy also came on early to replace Ervin Williams.
What? What will the Raptors do if they don’t have a point guard in this lineup?
It's ridiculous, it sounds like the Raptors have a point guard on the court when Irvine is on the court.
Li Ang stood on the free throw line and made two free throws. He scored his first two points today and narrowed the point difference to 4 points.
The Jazz's dream of opening up the score was shattered again.
When retreating, the three Menglong brothers looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Today, they reunited and are bound to put an end to their losing streak in Salt Lake City!
After the first defense, Stockton found that it was no longer so easy to score after picking and rolling.
That No. 1 with long arms and legs can be back in front of him in an instant.
After being covered by McGrady, Stockton now struggles not to mention attacking, but even passing the ball to Malone down the line.
The white point guard then took two steps back and prepared to reorganize.
At this time, Malone had already sat inside and leaned on Li Ang to ask for the ball with his back.
Stockton didn't hesitate and lobbed the ball in.
The fans in Salt Lake City became excited, expecting Malone to teach the Chinese a lesson.
Malone didn't hesitate after taking the ball, raised his elbow and pushed back hard.
One of the most destructive moves in the NBA has appeared - Malone's Iron Elbow!
With a "boom" sound, the severe pain in his muscles protested to Li Ang, telling him not to resist stubbornly any longer.
To be honest, Li Ang once felt that without the bonus of "Iron Bone", he would be lying flat now.
But as a fighting athlete in my previous life, I would lose the game only if I was beaten directly into unconsciousness.
No one has ever given up the game because they were beaten in too much pain.
He gritted his teeth and continued to insist, pressing against Ma Long again.
Malone thought he had pushed away Li Ang, so he turned around and prepared for a layup.
Little did he know that as soon as he raised the basketball and turned around, Li Ang slapped the ball.
After blocking the shot, Li Ang immediately hugged the basketball and passed it to Carter.
The fans in Salt Lake City were shocked. Li Ang... defended the MVP in a one-on-one match!?
"Fuck..." Watching Carter and McGrady move quickly, Li Ang did not join the attack quickly, but stood there, supporting his knees with his left hand and covering his chest with his right hand.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't keep up.
Damn it, Ma Long's actions are really careless.
Although Li Ang failed to follow up in time, McGrady and the Carter brothers still managed the attack.
Carter threw an alley-oop to Tracy McGrady, and the two brothers cooperated to successfully counterattack.
The score difference is still 2 points!
"I want to see how many rounds you can last!" Ma Long looked at the grinning Li Ang and prepared to continue to increase the intensity.
Jazz fans thought the same way at this time. They wanted to see how many rounds this cute dragon could last.
The first quarter of the game came to an end in this fierce physical fight.
Both Li Ang and Malone were substituted in the last two minutes of the first quarter. When Li Ang came off the field, he pulled up his jersey and looked at it. It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling of being covered in bruises from playing.
After the first quarter, the Jazz led 29 to 22 by 7 points.
National father-in-law Hornacek felt very good in the first quarter, hitting 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.
No wonder he shot out such a graceful daughter, his shooting skills are really good.
"Li, are you feeling well?" As the second quarter of the game was about to begin, Uncle Butch confirmed Li Ang's physical condition again.
Li Ang nodded, where the hell is this?
An old man like Ma Long didn't even say he couldn't do it, so how could I say I couldn't do it?
The buzzer sounded, and Li Ang stood up, ready to continue confronting Ma Long.
At this time, Oakley was just about to encourage the boys, but Li Ang took the lead and clapped his hands: "Hold on for three more quarters, brothers!"
"Yeah!" Carter and Maddie agreed.
Oakley smiled happily. This kid, Leon, was becoming more and more like what he had expected.
In the second quarter, the battle was still fierce. The Jazz firmly held the advantage with the performance of two superstars, Malone and Stockton.
Although Li Ang just faced Malone once, the opponent was the MVP last season after all.
If you want to say that the current Li Ang can lock Ma Long to death, it is indeed impossible.
But it is undeniable that Li Ang did make it difficult for Malone to score.
The same situation also happened to Stockton. McGrady's entanglement prevented the white guard from scoring as he pleased.
Coupled with Carter's gradually improving touch, Jazz has been unable to get rid of the cute dragon.
Jazz fans were a little surprised. They really didn't expect that Menglong could actually play back and forth with the Jazz.
In the fifth minute of the second quarter, with the Raptors trailing by 4 points, McGrady hit the ball from beyond the three-point line.
Li Ang and Malone got entangled under the basket and struggled with each other, and both fell down.
The rebound fell into Hornacek's hands, and the Jazz counterattacked!
