"Oh oh oh..."

The fans next to the basket and the fans on the sideline of the Eagles' basket clearly heard Stockton's words. They were stunned for a moment. This was still the low-key, non-luxurious man who silently did all kinds of dirty work.

General Sir John Stockton, the man behind Malone?

If Stockton secretly gave Liu Mang an elbow and caused Liu Mang to bleed, no one would be surprised. Although Stockton has become less annoying after losing hope of winning the championship in the past two years, it will definitely not be the case.

This is the kind of person who uses ridicule to talk rubbish with Liu Mangbiao!

Is this really the time to retire?

From the middle of last season, Stockton's physical fitness declined in the second half of the season and he was no longer the general who never tired before 2000. There have been rumors that Stockton was going to retire. Since then, Stockton

His style of play has changed. To put it in a more romantic way, his style of play has become more relaxed. Comments such as sympathy, regret, and emotion all appeared on Utah Shuangsha, and most of them appeared on Stockton.

.

In the final analysis, the Utah duo is a tragic combination that was defeated by three groups: the Yellow-Green War, the Bad Boys, and Jordan.

Liu Mang blinked and made sure he saw the right person. Is this the legendary Stockton who is despicable, mean, well-dressed, and has a lot of dirty tricks in the game?

The god-like shooting touch before was very different from the impression flow that could only pass the ball.

Next came Stockton's singles teaching time. At his peak, he averaged 17 points per game while averaging 13 or 4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was rarely less than 50% throughout his career. He was extremely good on the floor!

First, let’s try out the step-back jump shot!

Then there is the step-up fake move to get the ball and change hands to break through and throw.

Next is a high post singles turnaround jump shot...

The stub jumper in the pick-and-roll transition period...

…

…

If it weren't for his notorious free throw shooting, especially at critical moments, Stockton would have been a member of the 180 club with 50, 40, and 90 points.

From Stockton's perspective, this is probably the last time he will come to Atlanta to play in his life, and he doesn't know whether he will play next season. The Hawks are obviously well prepared for today's game. It will be difficult for the Jazz to leave with a victory.

They had just played back-to-back games in the last game, and Stockton didn't have much of a problem. The key was that the team's best player couldn't run after one quarter. If he had rested for a day or two before, the game wouldn't have been like this.

In this case, Stockton felt that he might as well be willful and teach the young people what singles is!

The Eagles kept counterattacking, no matter whether Stockton could score or not, they kept counterattacking and soon took the lead.

After all, Stockton is so old, and he can maintain good technical movements because his basic skills are very good, but the ball starts to break as he throws it, and he mostly hits the ball slowly.

What can Stockton do? The strength of their own team is on the edge of the playoffs. Even if they are placed in the Eastern Conference, they will only compete for six to eight places. They are still so tired playing back-to-back games. Even if Malone is here, he has seen it before.

Unable to prevent the Eagles from counterattacking, they had to rely on offense. If I were three years younger, I would have beaten the Eagles to death in this game, but now I probably will have beaten myself to death.

Soon the Eagles gradually opened up the score. Even if Utah came together in the third quarter, they could only hold on for a while and then they could no longer hold on!

Malone was unhappy and wanted to win, but Stockton was calmer. Instead of risking his life in back-to-back games with insufficient physical fitness, he might as well focus on the next game.

Liu Mang was shocked when he was beaten by Stockton in the second quarter. Such skills! Such core strength! Such basic skills!

In the past, I only heard that Nash was capable of 40 points in a single game but he was more willing to assist. Stockton is not bad either!

It's right to think about it. If one of the players in the pick-and-roll does not have the ability to attract defense from the outside, the result of the pick-and-roll is probably similar to the pick-and-roll between Nash and Howard. Both of them guard Nash, and Howard gets the ball from the mid-range and is stolen.

Can't get in again.

After three quarters, the Eagles led the Jazz by 13 points 84 to 71.

The point difference is not big, but Utah, which is already late, is unable to catch up. Sloan is also helpless, with no one in his hands! With a 50-win record over the years, the Jazz have 11 50-win records and 6 60-win records in the past 13 years.

The only two times that the record was not 50, one was a lockout, when their 37 wins tied with the Spurs for first place in the league, and the other was when main center Mark Eaton declined and was close to retirement. Generally speaking, without special events, the Jazz have been in the past 13 years.

Most of the time, there are 50 and 60 wins, and there are not many young people joining. They are all used by provinces and cities, but they are all old and retired, and there is really no one to use them.

After all, not everyone is Popovich. It took Duncan 20 years to get Leonard halfway.

In the end, the Eagles lost first and then won at home. With the hard work of the whole team, they quickly reversed the situation. In the end, they defeated the late Jazz 113-97 and won three consecutive victories. The record became 18 wins and 7 losses!

…

After the game, as the leader who began to lead the team to kill the Jazz with attrition tactics in the second half of the first quarter, Liu Mang accepted a post-game interview.

The questions they asked were all about their opinions on the game, how they could resist when they fell behind, why they chose to play in front of the Jazz, who are very capable of playing fast breaks, etc. They were very common questions.

Liu Mang also answered honestly.

If you are not honest, Coach Kruger will have to watch you with a knife.

"OK, Ace, your mind is as smart as the legend says. You found the Jazz's weaknesses right away. Last question, what do you think of your teammate Stockton? I heard that he imitated you and Kobe Bryant in the game.

"Famous quote." The reporter finally brought up a topic in a relaxed atmosphere. After the game was over, the reporter himself knew how to ask the players why they played so hard during the game. In fact, the players didn't like it.

Seriously, who can clearly understand why he made the choices he made during the game? If he knew, McGee wouldn't be embarrassed every day.

When players are asked questions, the officials have to make up a bunch of polite answers. If you are not happy when you ask, the players will not be happy when they answer.

About Stockton? Liu Mang looked at the picture of a short middle-aged man listening with a smile after saying goodbye to Ratliff, while a tall muscular man was chattering and complaining.

It’s so different from the imagined Utah Shuangsha!

According to rumors, Stockton is the hidden devil of the Jazz. He drives his teammates with passing passes and uses obscene defense to deal with opponents on the defensive end. Malone is the fiery charger. This is what Stockton was praised by fans back then.

The reason why they were nicknamed "General".

But now, Stockton seems to have really fast forwarded to his 40s and has turned his back on everything! Malone is still the fiery charge...

What do you think of Stockton?
