Chapter 284: 282. Saint Marshall

The Jazz scored 27 points in the third quarter!

27 points in a single quarter is not a big deal, mainly because they defended the Eagles from 15 points in a single quarter!

Kukoc didn't make an open shot, except for Muhammad who scored two dunks, Emmanuel scored 1 of 5 breakthroughs, and the two combined to score 6 points. Liu Mang scored 8 points in a single quarter. Reece Crawford also made a free throw.

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

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

Feeling the mania of the Energy Center, the guest Eagles also became irritable.

"NO! Damn it! Ace, what are you doing! You actually let them chase the score back." Jason Terry, who had already shown the big boss sitting posture and was about to sit and wait for the younger brothers to accept the victory, was also confused by the atmosphere of the scene Got frizzy.

The most irritating thing is Liu Mang. Originally, he scored 27 points in the first two quarters, then scored more than a dozen points in the third quarter, and scored 10 points in the fourth quarter. The happy 50 points were obtained.

Who knew that the Jazz's explosion came suddenly. Marshall scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, Kirilenko responded in various ways, and others actively cut and moved.

The Jazz's offensive explosion is nothing but defense!

A lot of physical contact makes it difficult for Kukoc, a veteran who has been out of battle for a long time, to adjust his shooting. Emmanuel is limited in strength, and Muhammad is a pure eater. The kind of easy shots that can put the ball in the basket, but he can't do it if he wants to attack.

Therefore, the Jazz's defensive focus is entirely on Liu Wei. Liu Wei was double-teamed, and his teammates couldn't make any shots. The pass was not good, and his own shooting opportunities were not good. In the third quarter, Liu Wei only made 2 of 9 shots. , plus 4 free throws to get 8 points.

Coupled with the frenzied atmosphere of the Energy Center arena, Liu Mang really wants to go shopping with them now!

The reason is the waves!

Liu Mang's idea of ​​wanting to get high scores destroyed the Eagles' original stable and brutal style of play. If it was replaced by Jason Terry or Raheem, they would have already taken the substitutes and slammed them. The opponent is overturned, regardless of whether the opponent is in an explosive state or not.

That is the crushing of hard power. Even Jason Terry, who has only 84 ability value, is much stronger than Marshall, who is the strongest opponent with 79 ability value. The strength of Raheem's top star, even the old Malone Not his opponent, let alone these people.

As for Liu Mang, there is still a clear gap between the two in hard power. Liu Mang scores so easily and ranks first in the Eagles in efficiency. The main reason is that he has a good brain and is good at using the restraining power of his two star teammates.

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

It's just that you have to lead the team alone, leading a group of weak teammates...

Liu Mang was far worse than these two.

The sudden wave of the Eagles wiped out the absolute lead of more than 20 points. Now it is fun. Playing away games, the morale of the opponent has risen, and their two stars have rested for a whole quarter.

...

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Eagles replaced the main players, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rahim, Newbell, and Muhammad appeared on the stage.

The Jazz also sent the absolute main force without Shuangsha, John Crody, Deshaun Stevenson, who claimed to be Kobe's terminator, Marshall, Kirilenko, Ostertag.

Coach Sloan himself did not expect that he saw hope in the second half!

Hell!

I gave up strategically before because I felt that without Shuangsha, other people would be tortured to death by the Eagles, but now that there is hope, let’s just take a wave. Over 20 games in the regular season can get a 50% winning percentage. Now the Jazz, which has 34 wins and 26 losses, is firmly in the playoffs. The Clippers are only 29 wins and 31 losses, and the Suns are 26 wins and 34 losses, which is worse than the top eight too far.

But if they can win, it is a profit. At the end of the regular season, maybe they can play a few games more easily, and maybe they can be promoted to the seventh place in the Western Conference to play against the Spurs! Sloan likes to play the playoffs with the Spurs the most. The last time the two teams played against each other in the second round, Malone almost made the rookie Duncan cry. The Spurs only won one game in that series, and Stockton was injured and retired. The Spurs won the game when no one organized the offense.

The Spurs are afraid of CIC, as always.

In the last quarter, the Eagles took the lead.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball to 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 singles opportunity. Instead of being double-teamed while holding the ball, teammates still can't make a shot, and because there is a giant tower of 2.18 meters under the opponent's basket, it is not easy to cut.

Kirilenko is defending Rahim. Rahim has a tank-style inside breakthrough. As always, he has no solution.

Raheem's throw into the paint...

"Snapped"

In the third quarter, Ostertag, who had a rare posture of dominating the defensive end, was also excited. Rahim didn't pay attention to this tall, slow and fat big pyrenes. He didn't expect the opponent to slap his shot away!

The Eagles are careless here!

Raheem, Jason Terry, including other Liu Mang, Newbell, and Muhammad, all felt that they could open the score all at once, but they didn't expect the opponent to be so active! So excited! Even the rare head-on big hats are available!

The Jazz strike back!

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

The Eagles didn't expect to be blocked. Only Liu Mang and Jason Terry, who reacted quickly, returned to the defense, and they could only defend the basket to prevent the opponent from dunking directly.

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

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!

That's easy!

So accurate!

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

Only 9 points left!

Unexpectedly, totally unexpected, the Eagles did not expect such a situation at all.

This kind of feeling, a side with an absolute advantage with a big lead, is clearly still ahead by 10 points, but it seems to be 10 points behind.

The Hawks continue to attack, when Liu Mang and Muhammad pick and roll, Ostertag can't guard, Deshaun Stevenson comes to double-team Liu Mang, Jason Terry is open at Kukoc's position The Eagles really panicked when they didn't make a three-pointer and Marshall hit another three-pointer in counterattack!

At this time Liu Mang heard the Utah fans chanting "Saint Marshall" at the scene. Most of the people in Utah are descendants of Nordic immigrants. They are very similar to European fans. They always like to call an athlete who has exploded or a favorite athlete "Saint XXX", but it is used in the predominantly black NBA. Players usually don't like that they have such nickname, but it's nice to have.

Hearing the title of St. Marshall, Liu Mang remembered, this Marshall, could it be the Marshall who has kept the record of hitting 12 three-pointers in a single game for more than ten years with Kobe?

etc! Seems like this guy has already hit 10 threes in a single game!

"Ira, beware of Patrick wearing the number 42!"

There is one more chapter, a little later, at 11 or 12 o'clock!
