Webber lost a jump ball to Jazz starting center Greg Ostertag, and the Jazz started to attack.
Ostertag was selected by the Jazz with the 28th pick in the first round in 1995. He is a 218cm tall super heavyweight white center. This season he has been able to average 7.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.
The scoring and rebounding can only be said to be average. He averages 25 minutes of playing time per game. This data is not bad, nor is it amazing.
However, averaging 2 blocks per game is relatively high. If converted into 36 minutes, he can average 3 blocks per game, not much worse than Bradley. Many Jazz fans have already regarded him as "Mammoth" Mark -The successor to Eaton.
They are all the same super tall, white, and powerful centers. They are not strong in offense and rebounding, but they all have strong shot-blocking abilities.
This view is a bit underestimating Mammoth. In his second year with the Jazz, his playing time was similar to that of Ostertag, but he averaged 4.3 blocks per game. The two were not at the same level.
Stockton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Cassel quickly put his hand on Stockton.
At present, hand-check has not been banned, so outside players will use it when defending, which has a very good restricting effect on offensive players' change of direction and breakthrough.
However, Cassel's attack was simply because he didn't want to get close to Stockton for fear of being elbowed.
Karl Malone moved up to the high post and stepped up to set a pick-and-roll for Stockton, allowing Stockton to easily get rid of Cassel's defense.
Weber came over to cover Stockton. Malone immediately turned around and rushed towards the basket. He received a pass from Stockton on the way, got up and made a mid-range shot, which went into the net.
In the Bullets' offensive round, Cassel hit Stockton in the frontcourt.
Cassell is a very special point guard. He is a bit similar to the Nuggets' Mark Jackson, who the Bullets played against before. His main offensive method is to rely on post-up play.
The Barkley Rule, which is well-known to the world, is the five-second rule. The real official name is the "Mark Jackson Rule."
Cassel is also a master of back-up play, and some even describe him as a master of back-up play.
After pushing Stockton with his back, Cassel suddenly exerted force to push Stockton back a step. He was thinking of using the rebound power to turn over and shoot a jumper. As a result, Stockton was pushed away before he was pushed away. , the iron-like fingers pinched the soft flesh of his waist hard, causing Cassel to grimace in pain.
Being pinched like this, Cassell failed to make the move he expected and could only pass it to Jaylen Rose beside him.
What hurts Cassel even more is that the referee didn't seem to see Stockton's little move at all, and he suffered a hidden loss in vain.
Jaylen Rose started with a three-pointer, but unfortunately he failed to score, and the rebound was grabbed by Malone.
In the Jazz's offense, Webb suffered the same loss as last time. This time he was hesitating whether to defend Stockton or continue to defend Malone. The result was this moment of hesitation and Stockton got a Half open, he made a decisive mid-range shot and scored another two points.
Webber turned around and took action, but Malone blocked it, and Ben failed to grab the rebound.
In the Jazz round, Malone failed to get into position this time, allowing Cassel to follow Stockton. Webber no longer had to worry about covering up or following up, and he followed Malone.
Just when Lin Yu thought the ball could be defended, Jazz shooting guard Jeff Hornacek immediately rushed over and set up a pick-and-roll for Stockton.
This time the Jazz played like the two-man backcourt that the Bullets used to do before. After the pick-and-roll, Stockton passed the ball to Hornacek, who scored a three-pointer.
Lin Yu saw it on the sidelines with a headache. This damn pick-and-roll tactic was really difficult to deal with.
With the back and forth pick and roll, not to mention the players on the court who were in a hurry, Lin Yu, the bystander, didn't know what to do.
If the Jazz feel bad, that's fine. Lin Yu doesn't think his rebounding strength will lose to the Jazz.
However, after the game started, the Jazz players were equipped with guidance systems and hit all three shots in a row, which was hard to resist.
Seeing the score of 7:0 on the court, Lin Yu did not call a timeout because he knew it would be useless. Whether the Bullets were coached by Linam or after Lin Yu took over, it was not that the Bullets had never practiced breaking pick-and-rolls. The defensive tactics were like this for the Jazz at the start of tonight's game, not because there was a problem with the players' defense.
If Speed was there, Stockton would definitely not be able to enjoy the pick-and-roll so comfortably. Speed's speed is a powerful tool for breaking pick-and-rolls. He can use his speed advantage to ensure that he does not lose his defensive position.
But Cassell doesn't have this kind of speed. If he really had top speed, he wouldn't have to play on the back.
Another reason is that the league still prohibits zone defense, and the restrictions were not lifted until 2001, and zone defense is also one of the most powerful tools for breaking pick-and-rolls.
The Jazz can always be among the top players in the Western Conference by relying on pick-and-rolls. How can it be so easy to crack?
Fortunately, Jaylen Rose performed well next. He was still able to enjoy the halo effect this week, even if he couldn't maintain the guilty pleasure state all the time, because he was facing a defensive colander like Hornacek, and Rose's offense The efficiency is still good.
After playing for seven or eight minutes, Sloan called a timeout. At this time, the Bullets were trailing by 8 points. If Rose hadn't scored consecutive points, the point difference might have already exceeded double figures.
"Coach, I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand it anymore."
After Cassell came off the field, he lifted up his jersey and said with a painful expression.
Lin Yu and others looked intently, and all of them took a breath of air. They saw Cassel's waist was bruised and purple. Considering his alien appearance, he didn't even need makeup to shoot Alien.
"If you can't stand it, you have to stand up. If you don't stand up, who can?"
Speedy sat on the bench wearing a formal suit and made sarcastic remarks.
"It was you who should have done it originally, but now I have reason to suspect that you cramped on purpose!" Cassel said with a blushing face.
"Trapped on purpose? I'm about to score 60 points right now. Am I mentally retarded?"
"Anyway, you have to bear the pain today, and no one can take the pain for you."
Speedy shouted dissatisfied.
"I'm not Jesus, why should I suffer? It's okay to let me take the lead. You can give me half of the starting lineup in the future."
Cassell is one of the three wolves of the future Timberwolves. Thinking about the bad tempers of Garnett and Madman, his temper is definitely not much better.
"I don't know if I can handle it."
Just as Speedy and Cassel stared at each other, a faint voice came from the bench.
Lin Yu turned around and saw that the person speaking was Ray Jackson.
"You? What are you going to do? You can't even stand up to Legler." Speedy glanced at Ray Jackson and said.
Weber also spoke from the side. He didn't want his good brother to go on stage and suffer, "Lei, you can't stand it."
"I can stand it!" Ray Jackson's eyes became firm and his voice became louder.
"You can't stand it!"
"I can handle it..."
When Lin Yu saw this scene, his cerebellum almost shrank. He wondered if he had arrived at the set of Yangtze River No. 7. Are you filming a movie with me here?
"Lei, go up, I believe you."
"In fact, if there's anyone on the planet who doesn't suffer against Stockton, I think it's only you."
“Use your strengths to your advantage and protect yourself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu and Ray Jackson looked at each other and laughed.
The timeout ended, and Cassel, whose waist was bruised and bruised, was replaced. Looking at Ray Jackson's appearance, he felt a tragic feeling in his heart that he would die for him.
During the Jazz's offensive round, Ray Jackson stepped forward to defend Stockton closely, his mouth almost touching Stockton's ear.
When the black man's RAP talent was activated, his mouth seemed to be equipped with an electric motor, and the output was so loud that even Stockton was stunned.
Lin Yu couldn't hear what Ray Jackson was spraying at all, but looking at Stockton's expression, it must be very lethal.
Stockton was so angry that he controlled the ball with his right hand and pinched Ray Jackson with his left hand. As soon as he started, Ray Jackson quickly took a step back.
Seeing an open space in front of him, Stockton raised his hand and prepared to shoot. Unexpectedly, Ray Jackson quickly took a step forward and got close to him.
If Stockton wants to choke, Ray Jackson will retreat.
When Stockton wanted to vote, Ray Jackson would post it and curse again at the same time.
When Lin Yu saw this scene, he became more and more suspicious that he was on a movie set, but this time he was not filming Yangtze River No. 7, but Jiupin Zhimaguan.
"I jumped out and I got back up."
"I jumped out again, come hit me, you idiot."
…
Stockton was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't do anything about Ray Jackson. He couldn't really beat him. He would definitely be the one to suffer.
Malone ran over to set up a pick-and-roll. Ray Jackson was not slow, at least much faster than Cassel. He got through Malone's wall and chased Stockton very closely.
Although the defensive efficiency may not be higher than Cassel, it can at least give Cassel a chance to breathe.
Ten minutes into the first quarter, Stockton was replaced, and Lin Yu immediately replaced Cassel.
Three minutes into the second quarter, Stockton returned to the court, and Ray Jackson immediately returned to the battlefield.
Lin Yu has been staring at the time, waiting for the new halo to appear.
Although a game lasts for 48 minutes, it actually lasts at least 90 minutes, including timeouts, inter-section breaks, intermissions, free throws, fouls and other factors.
The first quarter of the game just lasted 20 minutes, and then there was a break between quarters. The second quarter lasted three minutes. At this time, the time had reached 7:59.
"We are randomly drawing halos every week, please wait for thirty seconds!"
The harsh system prompt sounded, and Lin Yu was very excited. This was the first time he had a random halo during the game.
"Passive aura ①: "Sacred Shield", the effect is that the third player on the field is immune to any damage that may cause injury. It can be effective three times per game."
"Passive Halo ②: "Back to the Past", the effect is to activate the player with any favorability level, and there is a 50% chance of immunity to damage that may cause injuries."
"Passive Halo ③: "Perfect Curtain Call", the effect is that any player on the designated field except the fourth and fifth players will shoot a three-pointer from the edge of the midfield jump ball area. The effect lasts four times in total, and the first hit rate is 30% , the second time is 50%, the third time is 70%, and the fourth time is 100%. This halo effect can only be used once."
Lin Yu's cerebellum shrank again, and he fell into a daze looking at the three newly randomly arrived halos.
What is this? Wang Yuanjin? !
A three-pointer near the midfield line? And the fourth shot still hit 100%? The hit rate for the third time was also as high as 70%, which means that as long as your luck is not too bad, you can hit at least two!
Lin Yu couldn't even imagine what the concept of two midfield line three-pointers in one game was.
If you were lucky, the 50% chance of hitting him the second time would be even more outrageous and couldn't be explained by good luck.
And if he could hit the target with a 30% chance the first time, Lin Yu would be really worried that he would be taken away and sliced into pieces. No movie could produce such an outrageous plot.
