Chapter 249 Karl Malone Elbows Stockton?How can this be?
However, apart from Kobe Bryant, others seem to have not taken this 76ers seriously!
Gary Payton was very annoyed when faced with the tight Stockton, "How dare you defend me like this, old man? Isn't that just one step away?"
Gary Payton changes direction while on the move, rushing fast!
But during this rush, the ball was exposed!
How boldly John Stockton's hand came in!
Violent wave!
The ball was broken, when the word "impossible" was still floating in Gary Payton's head!
Stockton has slickly arrived at the basket like a fish, facing Karl Malone who is defending, and scored deftly!
The 76ers scored another two points!
Karl Malone's big elbow was supposed to sweep away all life forms that appeared under the basket.
But when this living body was the thin and small Stockton who had been with him for 19 years, the elbow was relieved immediately!
Malone's iron elbow can never be swung to Stockton!
No matter what the circumstances!
Stockton didn't even look at Karl Malone's elbow, the deadly elbow that frightened players all over the league, and Stockton turned a blind eye to it!
When he made a layup, his pale and bloodless cheeks deliberately slid past Malone's elbow!
The referee's whistle blew again!
Karl Malone defensive foul!
Ma Long was also dumbfounded!
Watching John Stockton walk to the free throw line with a still expressionless face.
He lowered his head in frustration: "Oops, I've been fooled again!"
John Stockton stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and shot steadily!
hit!
Another point!
Hit three points successfully!
"Hey, Carl, clear your mind! Stockton is not your teammate!" Kobe Bryant was furious! "He is just a small defender. You can send him home with just one slap. How can you allow him to score 2+1? Do you still want to win the championship?"
Shaquille O'Neal curled his lips: "Dude, you look so tough, but your heart is too soft. If you do this, you really can't win the championship!"
The word champion once again stimulated Ma Long!
He abandoned his family and business, and at the end of his career, he came to the opponent who had fought against him all his life. What was he trying to do?Isn't it the championship?
After this ball, Ma Long seemed to be a different person!
On both offensive and defensive ends, it no longer seems who committed the crime, and the big elbow can take off!
The entire Lakers team finally regained the confrontational intensity that the finals should have!
The first game!
23: 26!
The Philadelphia 76ers temporarily lead by 3 points!
The second quarter of the game!
57: 50!
The Lakers achieved a reversal in the score!
At the end of the halftime game, the 76ers still have the upper hand in terms of the starting points of both sides!
The time when the real score was overtaken appeared in the middle of the second quarter, when Larry Brown changed the starting lineup and took a few minutes to rest!
The Philadelphia 76ers have always been proud of the bench bandits lost in the finals!
Jamal Crawford and Kyle Korver performed brilliantly in the regular season, and they performed quite well in the first few rounds of the playoffs, and they can stand up decisively when it is time to score.
But on the stage of the first game of the finals, Jamal Crawford played 7 minutes in the first half, made 6 of 0 shots, and scored 2 points with only free throws. Korver made a three-pointer and made 3 of 0 shots. Score 0 points!
If the lack of experience of young people is excusable, then Eric Snow and Glenn Rice's score of 0 is somewhat incomprehensible!
The only two players on the bench who have played well are Wang Zhizhi and Andre Miller, who have started most of the games this season!
Andre Miller, who split minutes with Stockton in this game, didn't score when Miller was on the court with the starters, and when he came off the bench, Miller was near the free throw line Get points in a row!
Wang Zhizhi was on the three-point line and made 4 of 2 shots!
But this is only barely enough to prevent the difference between the two sides from being pulled to more than 10 points at the end of the second quarter!
Needless to say, the starting players of the Lakers, the experience of the bench players in the finals is not comparable to that of the 76ers' bench. Although these players are only role players, each of them can exert their energy to the greatest extent!
Playing like this, during the intermission, the 76ers' bench players were lifeless, and no one wanted to talk, even Willie Green, who is always willing to tell bad jokes, was silent today.
"Hey! What are you thinking, what are you thinking?" Han Mo took care of this group of depressed young people, one by one, without letting any of them go!
"What? Playing against the Lakers f4, you still want to continue to crush the game? Is it because the opponents in front are too weak for you to get used to!"
"What's the point of not playing well today? Get your spirits up!" Han Mo stood up, ready to enter the court for the fierce battle in the third quarter. "Jamal, take your little brothers to watch carefully. It's more important for you to get high grades!"
Team 76 goes first!
Allen Iverson came to the basket in a flash, and the ball arrived, and he scored with a backhand!
In terms of passing alone, if Stockton can pass the ball, Andre Miller can also pass it, but what Stockton can do is, although it is the same pass, although the catch is the same opportunities, but Stockton just can make the receiver a little more comfortable than Miller's pass.
And this little bit is the gap in 20 years of skill!
And Gary Payton has gradually found his own advantage in the confrontation with Stockton. Although Stockton was at his peak, he was also the top defensive player in the league!
Two-time steals champion, five-time All-Defensive Second Team!This honor is also heavy!
But Stockton has already passed his prime after all!Defensive awareness, although Stockton is not bad at all, but his arms and legs obviously can't keep up!
Gary Payton hit Stockton in consecutive singles at the beginning of the third quarter!
In terms of speed and strength, Payton is more dominant!
Gary Payton smiled, in the Lakers f4, he was always the one with the lowest sense of presence!
Obviously, he played 82 games this season, averaged 34.5 minutes per game, and scored 47.5 points, 14.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 5.5 steals with a 1.2% shooting rate as a point guard!
But everyone's evaluation of him turned out to be: old-fashioned!
Today, in the Finals, Gary Payton is all about proving himself!
Gary Payton, who has already scored 13 points, has surpassed Kobe Bryant in current scoring and has become the Lakers' No.1 outside line in this game!
Gary Payton slammed Stockton away with his shoulder, gained space, and stopped for a mid-range shot!
"Crack!" The big hat covered the sky!
Peyton was taken aback: "Where did Han Mo fly over from!" Looking at him from the corner of the eye, Kobe was staring at him with death!
Han Mo didn't answer, the big hat positioned it precisely!
Yao Ming used his height to catch the big hat that was blown away half the field!
Two dribbles came under the Lakers basket!
Without hesitation, Karl Malone shouted at Yao Ming's face with his arms and elbows!
This move is very fierce!
But in the two seasons of training against Oakley, Yao Ming will no longer be intimidated by this!
Elbow to elbow!
Yao Ming pushed his left arm forward!
Resist Malone's violent iron elbow and grab the ball with his right hand!
round!
Compared with his height, Yao Ming's wingspan is mediocre, but no matter how mediocre he is, he has a wingspan of 2 meters!
It seems that there is still a little distance from the basket, but it is actually enough!
Fry the basket!
"Oh!"
Buckle up Karl Malone!
