"FVK, this kid is so tenacious"

Feeling the huge power coming from his thin body behind him, Kal Malone felt very uncomfortable. In the entire NBA, Kal Malone would not be afraid of many opponents, and there were only a handful of power forward positions, such as Rodman, the best defensive player in the league's fourth position and Barkley, the best offensive player. These two guys have ways to deal with Malone. If Malone meets these two, it will indeed take some effort. However, even if the two super insiders in this attack, Rodman's offense is not very good, and Barkley is too short, so Malone is not very afraid.

Only now when I meet this newly-rise young power forward Sean Kemp, this guy is so amazing. His figure doesn't look so huge, but his strength is amazing. It's not that easy for Malone to eat him on his back. If the face frame breaks through, this guy's agility will be cut off his players a lot in the playoffs last season. As for the classic two-player pick-and-roll with Stockton, although the pick-and-roll finally gave a short mid-range shot opportunity, Sean Kemp will use his almost-than-thumb athletic talent and bounce ability to quickly return to Malone to cover Malone.

What's even more depressing is that if Malone chooses to play back at the basket, even if he has a chance, he still needs to worry about Kamp using his terrifying second bounce to attack him. In the fourth game of the Supersonics and Jazz last season, Kamp made 3 steals and 5 blocks against Malone. Where did these steals come from? It can be seen from Malone's 6 mistakes in the game.

This young power forward is not very good in defensive skills, and his offensive skills are not so super-than-class. But what makes this guy most depressing is that his **-like physical talent can make up for the shortcomings of any defense or offensive skills. Even if his defensive skills are not so good, he can still average 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. Even if the offensive skills are not very good, he still contributes about 18 points per game. If you have the ability, you can bite him.

Moreover, Kemp, who has been in the league for 4 years, is definitely not a rookie with lack of experience. It is basically impossible for Malone to play Kemp like he used to play young inside players.

Therefore, at the beginning of this game, Malone's strategy was very clear, that is, to use his superstar status, shoot without mid-range shots after pick-and-roll, go straight to the basket, and don't play back, and just cause damage to the inside. In the current NBA, Malone has superstar whistles. It can be said that such a strategy was still very good in the first half. After all, Malone was also physically strong at that time, which made Malone suppress Kemp in the first half, but such a style of play could not last for the whole game. Although Malone is good at endurance, even Chamberlain can't play such a collision style for a long time. Finally, after the start of the second half, Malone was really depressed. She couldn't play her back and face frames, and her mid-range shot was also very disturbed. Unless Malone felt so out of touch, she was not afraid. The key is that his feel was not very good in this game.

After the final battle between the two sides in the fourth quarter, Lin Han, who was caught by Payton and Malone, who was caught by Kemp, the two Jazz's most important offensive players scored extremely hard. Fortunately, the Supersonics' own offense was not very outstanding in the final battle. The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was too exhausted, so although the Jazz's offense was difficult, the score was still biting very hard with the Supersonics.

"This game is about to win the finale."

The Jazz and Supersonics played the game that made the players on both sides feel uncomfortable. Each score was extremely difficult. For example, after the Jazz scored 16 points in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the total score was only 8 points in the next six minutes. The banging sound of the two teams made the two live commentators on the sidelines extremely desperate. The more they played the game, the more they became, the more entangled they became.

"There are more than 2 minutes left in the game, and the score between the two sides is 93. Peyton of the Supersonics is controlling the ball. At this time, Lin Han is still one step away from Peyton. It is not as good as Peyton to break through him easily. Jump shots at this point in time are not a good decision. At present, the players on both sides of the game are not high in shooting percentages. The Jazz's head insider Karl Malone is now 7 of 21 shots, 8 of 14 free throws, and scored a total of 22 points. Of course, in addition, he has 5 steals and 2 blocks. It can be seen that he has encountered great challenges on both ends of the offense and defense in this game. Kamp, who faces him, has committed five fouls, but he is still on the court now."

"If the game really hits the point where you need a final shot or a key ball to save the team's fate, I think this is more beneficial to the Trail Blazers. They have more players who can perform the last attack than the Jazz. Whether it is Malone or Stockton, it is not suitable for the final executor in this game."

As this game was slowly approaching the end, both sides had a hard bit from 93 to 95. Payton faced Lin Han who let him go, and turned around and threw Lin Han away. Facing Spencer's difficult jump shot, after Payton hit, Lin Han also managed to get rid of Payton's entanglement under the cover of double pick-and-roll by Malone and Stockton, he grabbed the basketball. In just a moment, Payton caught up again. Lin Han also made a very difficult jump shot from the left side of the free throw line. Lin Han's backward amplitude was so large that it made people wonder if he would twist his waist. In fact, when Payton reappeared on the home defense of Lin Han, Lin Han's backward shot was very large every time he jumped, and Lin Han almost fell to the ground every time he jumped.

“The jazz this year is really different.”

Watching the last time of the game slowly enter within a minute, the supersonics head coach George Carl on the sidelines also began to shake his right foot constantly, nervous, which was a very natural emotion. This game was a torture for both players and coaches on both sides.

If it were the Jazz last season, they would have surrendered at this time. According to Malone's feel, the team could not find anyone who could score in the last moment, so they would lose every time they were critically affected. However, the Jazz now actually found another point outside Malone. Looking at the "answer-ball" like Lin Han and Payton, George Carl was also lost.

"Maybe I need to design a defensive strategy for him in the next game, right?"

Finally, looking at the Jazz's No. 8 player on the court, George Carl murmured to himself.

As the end time of the game approaches, the Supersonic fans on the sidelines are also shouting more and more crazy.

With 46 seconds left in the game, Supersonics center Sam Perkins got rid of Spencer's defense and floated to the 45-degree three-point line on the right and received Payton's pass from a long distance of 2 points. Supersonics led by 97 to 95 by two points.

There were 31 seconds left in the game. Spencer, who had just stolen a two-pointer by Perkins, quickly returned to his face. This fat man, who was not very good at attacking, grabbed a key offensive rebound after Malone failed to play against Kemp. He made a tip-in. The Jazz were about to die, but he couldn't die in the end. After Spencer made a tip-in, the fans of the Supersonics sighed. At this time, Lin Han could only stand on the top of the arc with his hands on his hips and panted heavily. He no longer had the physical fitness to attack twice in a row.

"Oh no, it's really bad. With less than 30 seconds left in the game, Payton's strategy of controlling time is right. Dragging the game to the last second before attacking is the best choice. However, this time he was not decisive to pass Ricky Pierce. Pierce has not had much time. Such a move is too rapid and it is difficult to hit. Payton may have taken action by himself. Malone grabbed the backcourt rebound. It seems that the Jazz are going to call a timeout."

"Huh?! No, the Jazz didn't call a timeout. Coach Sloan on the sidelines was pressing. There were more than 5 seconds left in the game. The Jazz was not ready to call a timeout to give the Supersonics a chance to fall into the position to defend."

"This is a very good decision. For the two teams now, no team can take less than 6 seconds to land and score a goal. The Jazz seems to be adventurous, but it is the best choice."

Looking at the jazz running forward and the subconscious of retreating quickly, Hicoma's heart tightened.

It has to be said that the Jazz's fast break is indeed rapid. Malone handed the ball to Stockton, and Stockton directly dribbled the ball. At this time, the Supersonics' retreat player was like a pocket. Although he was retreating, he was slowly tightening during the retreat, tightening towards Stockton and Malone. For the current game time, Stockton and the Jazz had only one pass opportunity after pushing to the frontcourt. Either Stockton directly pulled out or passed to Malone or Lin Han, without any possibility of playing and cooperating. In this case, although the Supersonics retreated in a hurry, they were not very nervous.

Payton stares at Lin Han. Although Payton cannot play crazy dance in the fast break, and it is difficult to break the connection between Lin Han and Stockton, other Supersonic players definitely believe that Payton can stare at Lin Han, so others only need to watch Malone and Stockton. In addition, other Jazz players can ignore it.

"I won't give you any chance this time."

He rushed forward almost shoulder to shoulder with Lin Han. At this time of the game, whether it was Peyton's understanding of Lin Han or Lin Han's understanding of Peyton, this was almost unparalleled. After Lin Han passed the half, Payton kept snatching Lin Han's half step intentionally or unintentionally. He knew exactly where Lin Han's attack area was. Although he could not stop Lin Han's receiving route, he could take the lead and stand to the most comfortable position in which Lin Han received the ball.

So, although the two were shoulder to shoulder, Payton still had enough strength, and Lin Han really had no strength left. At this time, his legs were like lead, so in the face of Payton's provocation, Lin Han did not fight back for the first time, or even had no strength to fight back.

"Fight!"

Just as Payton was planning to follow Lin Han and be nailed to the most critical position at the critical moment, Lin Han actually gritted his teeth and started to accelerate. Although Lin Han's acceleration was not fast at this time, it was only for this moment that Stockton, who was hesitating whether to pass the ball to Lin Han or Malone, lit up his eyes, and also shocked Payton.

“No matter how hard you try, no matter how fast you speed up, there is no possibility of getting rid of me.”

In just a moment, Lin Han was suppressed by Payton again. However, at this time, when he saw the three-point line not far ahead, Lin Han's eyes became extremely shining.

Because Lin Han tried to accelerate physically with the last bit, although Payton could easily keep up, when Lin Han came to the 45-degree three-point line on the left and suddenly stopped, Lin Han, who was prepared, suddenly braked, but the unprepared Payton flew out with inertia.

"Oops!"

Seeing Lin Han kneeling on the ground with one leg when he thought he was braked quickly, and then quickly stood up from the ground. At this time, the speed was as fast as the inertia, the greater the inertia, Peyton, who was thrown one meter away, felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, the free throw line had already passed, and seemed to be facing Pierce and Perkins' defense. Stockton, who was preparing to make a layup, was like eyes growing behind his head, and was about to make a layup, holding the basketball's right hand and swung it behind him. The basketball accurately found Lin Han who got up from the ground.

It was precisely because of this not a long pass time that Payton, who was thrown for a distance, struggled to stick it up. However, because he was thrown away, he could only stick it up, and there was no other interference. When Payton put it on, Lin Han had turned his back to Payton. When Payton was about to jump up the block, Lin Han had also turned around and jumped up. Payton's blocking hand almost touched Lin Han's fingertips, but at this time the basketball in Lin Han's hand had already thrown out.

Looking at Lin Han who threw the basketball and fell outside the three-point line, Payton subconsciously turned back to look at the basket. In fact, almost everyone on the scene looked at the basket at this time. Many fans watching the basketball in front of the TV had already stood up at this time, such as George Carl, the head coach on the sidelines, who had stepped into the court nervously. When the basketball left Lin Han's finger, the game time was over, so this three-point determines the result of the game.

With a "brush", the basketball, which was almost everyone in the audience, came to the basket and entered the net accurately, and was silent.

Three-pointer hits, the game ends!

At this time, Lin Han looked at the basketball that fell into the basket, and the dancer Hu was holding his fists on the court, while Payton, who was right in front of Lin Han, turned around and stared at the basketball that had fallen to the ground, his whole body trembling.
Chapter completed!
