The Jazz scored 27 points in the third quarter!

27 points in a single quarter is not a big deal, the main thing is that they defended the Eagles from 15 points in a single quarter!

Kukoc couldn't score in the open space. Except for Muhammad who scored two dunks through air cuts, Emmanuel made 1 of 5 breakthroughs. The two of them scored 6 points together. Liu Mang scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Reese Crawford also had a free throw.

After being chased by the Jazz by 12 points in a single quarter, the Eagles were a little anxious!

At the same time, the 24-point difference became only 12 points, giving the Jazz hope again!

Feeling the mania of the Energy Center, the visiting Eagles also started to get angry.

"NO! Damn it! Ace, what are you doing! You actually let them get the score back." Jason Terry, who had already shown his boss posture and was ready to wait for his younger brothers to accept the victory, was also disturbed by the atmosphere of the scene.

Got to be irritable.

The most annoying person was Liu Mang. He originally scored 27 points in the first two quarters, then scored a dozen points in the third quarter, and then scored 10 points in the fourth quarter. Then he got a glorious 50 points.

Who knew that the Jazz's outbreak would come suddenly. Marshall scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, Kirilenko provided various supports, and others actively cut and ran.

The Jazz's offensive explosion is nothing, it's mainly defense!

A lot of physical contact makes it difficult for Kukoc, a veteran who has been away from the team for a long time, to adjust his shooting. Emmanuel's strength is limited, and Muhammad is a pure pie-eater, averaging 11 points per game, 8 of which are directly received.

The kind of easy shot that puts the ball in the basket, but it's impossible for him to attack tough situations.

Therefore, the Jazz's defensive focus was entirely on Liu Mang. Liu Mang was double-teamed, and his teammates could not make any shots, nor could they pass the ball, and his own shooting opportunities were not good. In the third quarter, Liu Mang only made 2 of 9 shots.

, plus 4 free throws, he scored 8 points.

Coupled with the fanatical atmosphere of the Energy Center Arena, Liu Mang really wants to go up there and go shopping with them!

The reason is that it’s a waste of time!

Liu Mang's idea of ​​getting high scores destroyed the Eagles' originally stable and tough-as-nails style of play. If it had been replaced by Jason Terry or Raheem, he would have taken the substitutes and swung it wildly.

If the opponent knocks over, it doesn't matter whether the opponent is in an explosive state or not.

It was a crushing battle of hard power. Even Jason Terry, who only had an ability value of 84, was much better than the opponent's strongest Marshall, who had an ability value of 79. The strength of Raheem's top star was even greater than the aging Malone.

Not his opponent, let alone these people.

As for Liu Mang, the gap between the two in terms of hard power is still very obvious. Liu Mang scores so easily and ranks first in the Eagles in efficiency. This is mainly because he has a good mind and is good at using the containment power of his two star teammates.

Of course, being good at utilizing your teammates is also part of your strength, and it is also what is most appreciated by the coaches of each team.

I just have to lead the team alone and lead a bunch of weak teammates...

Liu Mang is far worse than these two people.

The sudden wave of the Eagles wiped out the absolute lead of more than 20 points. Now it was fun. Playing on the road, the opponent's morale increased, and their two big stars rested for a whole quarter.

…

At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the Eagles replaced their main players, with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Nubel, and Muhammad coming on the field.

The Jazz also sent out the absolute main force without double evil, John Crowdy, Deshaun Stevenson, the self-proclaimed Kobe Bryant Terminator, Marshall, Kirilenko, and Ostertag.

Coach Sloan himself didn’t expect that he would actually see hope in the second half!

Damn it!

I gave up strategically before because I felt that there was no double evil and everyone else would be tortured to death by the Eagles. But now that there is hope, just go for it. If you win, you will make a profit, and if you lose, you will not suffer a loss. As long as the rest is left

They can get a 50% winning rate in more than 20 regular season games. The Jazz, now 34 wins and 26 losses, are firmly in the playoffs. The Clippers are only 29 wins and 31 losses. The Suns are 26 wins and 34 losses, which is far behind the top eight.

Too far.

But if you can win, it will be a profit. You may be able to play a few games more easily in the final moments of the regular season, and you may be able to advance to the seventh place in the Western Conference and play the Spurs! Sloan likes to play the playoffs with the Spurs the most.

The next time the two teams played against each other in the second round, Malone almost beat Duncan, who was still a rookie, to tears. The Spurs only won one game in that series, and it was only because Stockton was injured and retired from the game that no one organized the offense and the Spurs won.

The Spurs are afraid of mid-range shots, as always.

In the last quarter, the Eagles took the lead.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, suppressed his inner anger, and handed the ball to Rahim in the middle distance. Now he needs his teammates to penetrate the opponent's defense so that he can have a better one-on-one opportunity.

Instead of being double-teamed by teammates while holding the ball and unable to make a shot, and because there is a 2.18-meter giant tower under the opponent's basket, it is difficult to make air cuts.

It was Kirilenko who defended Rahim. Rahim's tank-like breakthrough inside was as unsolvable as ever. With his body and strength, he can play as a power forward. Playing as a small forward is bullying!

Raheem's floater into the three-second zone...

"Snapped"

In the third quarter, Ostertag, who rarely dominated the defensive end, was also excited. Rahim didn't care about this tall, slow, and fat white bear. He didn't expect that the opponent actually slapped his shot away with a palm!

The Eagles are careless here!

Raheem, Jason Terry, and others like Liu Mang, Nubel, and Mohammed all thought that they could open up the score immediately by coming up, but they didn’t expect that the opponent would be so active! So excited! Even the rare head-on confrontation

All big hats!

The Jazz fight back!

Except for Ostertag, the other four players on the Jazz team are not slow.

The Hawks did not expect to be blocked. Only Liu Mang and Jason Terry, who were quick to respond, returned to defense and could only guard the basket to prevent the opponent from dunking directly.

Marshall rushed to the bottom corner, Kirilenko passed the ball, and Marshall received the ball and shot an open three-pointer in the bottom corner...

Hit again!

Marshall's 9th three-pointer of the game!

9 of 14 three-pointers!

The fans at the scene started to get angry again!

This is so simple!

So accurate!

Although we know that Marshall, as a tall swingman of 2.06 meters, is very good at three-pointers, his career shooting rate is only 35%, how can he be so accurate!

The point difference is only 9 points!

Unexpectedly, completely unexpected, the Eagles did not expect this situation to occur.

This feeling is that a side with an absolute advantage leading by a big score seems to be 10 points behind despite being 10 points ahead.

The Hawks continued to attack. When Liu Mang and Muhammad picked and rolled, Ostertag could not guard. DeShawn Stevenson came to double-team Liu Mang, and Jason Terry was in the open position of Kukoc.

No three-pointers were scored, and when Marshall hit another counter-attack three-pointer, the Eagles really panicked!

At this time, Liu Mang heard the Utah fans at the scene chanting "Saint Marshall". Most people in Utah are descendants of Nordic immigrants, and the proportion of white people exceeds 95%, which is the highest among all major states in the United States. Even the habitual

They are very similar to European fans. They always like to use "Saint XXX" to address a certain athlete who breaks out or their favorite athlete. However, it is used in the NBA, which is dominated by black people. Players usually don't like it.

It's a nickname, but it's not bad to have it.

Hearing the name St. Marshall, Liu Mang remembered, could this Marshall be the same Marshall who had maintained the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game with Kobe for more than ten years?

Wait! It seems like this guy has already scored 10 three-pointers in a single game!
Chapter completed!
