There is no weak team in the NBA, even if it is last in the league, there will be times when it wins the first place in the league.

Weakness is relative. Taking the last team in the NBA to the World Series still requires the best 15 players.

At the beginning of the second half, Marshall hit a three-pointer from the outside!

This is Marshall's fourth three-pointer in this game. As the Jazz's first scoring point off the bench, Marshall has already scored 20 points!

36 to 57, the Jazz are still 21 points behind.

With this kind of point difference, the original idea of ​​the Jazz before taking the field was just to play a casual game and brush up personal statistics. It would be great to lose the game with a score difference of 20 points. Anyway, the core is not there, and there is no one to lose.

scold.

But the dozen or so people on the Hawks bench were sitting in uniform, which angered the Jazz!

Liu Mang advanced with the ball, and Kirilenko stepped out immediately after Liu Mang passed halftime.

"Andrei Kirilenko, ability value 70, 67 three-pointers, 65 mid-range shots, 79 layups, 86 speed, 70 strength, 70 rebounds, 91 blocks, 80 steals..."

He is a great all-around defensive forward prospect. Apart from being too thin, with a height of 2.06 meters and only 92 kilograms, he is already very good in other aspects.

Liu Mang carried Kirilenko, who was more than ten centimeters taller than him, to the outside of the three-point line. He made an explosive move with his left elbow and pushed Kirilenko away from the right side to break through!

Kirilenko quickly rushed to the left rear.

coming!

Liu Mang's signature retreat! Liu Mang retreated sharply to the left, sending Kirilenko flying!

Liu Mang retreated and shot with a sniper!

If it were normal, such as in the first half, Kirilenko would not want to turn around and chase after Liu Mang when he was knocked away. He really couldn't prevent it! But this time after Kirilenko was knocked away, he immediately turned around and pounced on Liu Mang.

Knock Liu Mang over directly!

Liu Mang was knocked down by a Russian AK47 when he was halfway through the sniper swing.

"My day..."

Liu Mang resisted the urge to fight back, and Kirilenko also extended his hand with an apologetic look. This was just a man's defense on the basketball court. It was very different from Bowen's. Liu Mang understood it very well, because he himself

I usually take precautions like this.

But holding hands?

Damn it! You already have enough Russian lilies, and you still want to develop Ji Ge?

Liu Mang reached out and took the hand of Emmanuel, who came to help him, and stood up.

penalty!

The referee gave three free throws without any hesitation. This action was so big that if Liu Mang had reacted badly, he could have been called a technical foul.

According to the rules of the NBA, it is indeed possible to commit a tactical foul when the opponent cannot be guarded and does not counterattack alone on a fast break. The opponent has no defensive players in front of him, but it must be done to protect the safety of the opponent and not block the opponent.

This is only possible if the opponent's counterattack will definitely result in a goal.

Kirilenko's move of being completely unable to block a shot and knocking someone over was really great.

But the fans at the scene were very excited.

Just be so tough!

The crowd cheered loudly for Kirilenko's tough moves.

Of course, there were also fans who applauded Liu Mang, including Stockton who applauded from the sidelines, and Malone who applauded in surprise.

In Ma Long's view, Liu Mang should be a "clown" who fell to the ground and slumped for a malicious foul after being fouled by such a big move. He was actually quite bloody! Surprisingly, he had a slight liking for him.

"No wonder that bastard Michael looks at this rookie in a different light..."

However, thinking about being fouled by this rookie in the last match, Malone was still very angry!

Liu Mang took a deep breath. He felt a little pain from the fall, but it was not serious enough to be injured. This was the most uncomfortable situation, and the injury medicine was useless.

After adjusting hard, Liu Mang stepped to the free throw line.

The applause just now was a sign of respect for the opponent. As soon as Liu Mang got to the free throw line, the overwhelming boos started.

Liu Mang made two of three free throws amid boos, which was pretty good.

It hurt a lot to be knocked down and fall to the ground. After finishing the free throw, Liu Mang felt that it was okay, but he was more focused because of the pain.

No wonder there is a shooting expert who does not want to be named, and the No. 8 player with an even stronger head likes to punch himself when he has nothing to do.

Jazz offense.

Kirilenko received a pass from Marshall at the free throw line, rushed inside, dug in with his head, and threw the ball toward the backboard.

The most detailed one is Kirilenko. He looks like a desperate Eastern European tough guy. He is thin and long with a basic face, but he is very detailed! He threw the ball just right over Jalen Collins.

, Jaren Collins took a high leap and smashed the ball into the basket.

Kirilenko's desperate breakthrough attracted the defensive attention inside, and Jalen Collins easily dunked in with an alley-oop.

Looking back, the Eagles attack.

Not only Kirilenko was very active, the rest of the Jazz team began to risk their lives to give the Hawks physical contact!

Starting from this offensive and defensive round, the style of Iron-Blooded Jazz is back!

Even though the two evil players were gone, Sloan was still there. After Kirilenko's defense, the Jazz once again returned to their previous fiercely confrontational style of play.

The first half was so easy, but in the second half the Jazz suddenly became more physical, and the Hawks really couldn't adapt at first.

Amid the noise of fans at the scene, Jazz players were more active!

"Ding...home field: Iron-blooded Salt Lake City trigger, from Jerry Sloan and Salt Lake City fans."

"Iron-blooded Salt Lake City: Jerry Sloan's iron-blooded style accumulated over more than ten years in the Utah Jazz. When the enthusiasm of the fans, the enthusiasm of the players and Jerry Sloan are on the court at the same time, the players' enthusiasm and defensive concentration are triggered.

The degree of violence has increased significantly, morale has been greatly improved, and referees have become somewhat lenient in punishing player confrontations."

"hiss……"

Another field-level coach!

A Pat Riley, a Sloan!

Liu Mang glanced at the unsmiling Jerry Sloan on the sidelines. This old coach is also amazing, really amazing!

If it hadn't been for Jordan's invincible Bulls in 1997 and 1998, the old coach wouldn't have been without a championship in his life.

However, although the coach's field skills seem to be very strong, it is still not possible without players.

Whether it is Pat Riley or Sloan, they only increase the team's enthusiasm, concentration, etc. The ball still needs to be played by the players.

Liu Mang's scoring became much more difficult than in the first half, and even his shots became more difficult.

However, there is still an advantage in strength. Liu Mang's score is still rising, but it is rising a little slower and the iron is being struck a little more...

As they led by more than 20 points at halftime, the Hawks didn't care whether the opponent was strong or not. Liu Mang wanted to score, and the ball was all in his hands. Except for Muhammad who received a cut-in dunk, Kukoc closed in.

When there were three open three-point opportunities, most of them were taken by Liu Mang or by Emmanuel with the ball.

Since both teams were very strong, we didn’t see any changes in the third quarter.

Until the end of three quarters.

72 to 60.
Chapter completed!
