Elden Campbell and Michael Udin left after high fives. The Utah Jazz also rotated. Substitute Antoine Kyle replaces Greg Osttag.
Shaquille O'Neal can play full court at this age, but some of the people who play against him can play too long, because defending the Sharks is a huge consumption.
Recently, when Jerry Sloan faced a strong foe, he liked to start a massive rotation of personnel in the second quarter, so Michael Udin had to do well with four minutes remaining in the first quarter.
Michael Udin stood opposite Shark O'Neal, waiting for Karl Malone's free throw.
After approaching Karl Malone, Michael Udin felt that this man was even more terrifying.
When he raises his hand for a free throw, his tough deltoid muscles almost catch up to the size of a basketball. The most remarkable thing is that with such thick arms and strong torso dimensions, Karl Malone's shot is still stable. very smooth!
The Lakers passed the ball several times around the perimeter and then dropped the ball to Shaquille O'Neal, who was at the low post.
A bulldozer hit the back and twisted the spinning top, Antoine Kyle disappeared, and the big shark saw a dunk as he rushed over!
Even the home side's celebration of the goal after scoring was ready, but Karl Malone, rushing in one step, grabbed Shaquille O'Neal's shoulder, and the shark fell to the ground even with the ball!
Shaquille O'Neal clutched her head and gasped for air. Looks like he's falling hard now. Before the team Doctor ran, Shark O'Neal was already awake, and he signaled that he was fine.
The culprit, Karl Malone, stood to the side and stared at him coldly, as if he had nothing to do with her.
It wasn't once or twice that Shaquille O'Neal had such a crime. He calmly walked to the free throw line. The reason why he kept holding his temper was because Shaquille O'Neal just wanted to have fun while he was making free throws.
After receiving a pass from the referee, Shaquille O'Neal was full of confidence and made a free throw like a short shot!
Shaq smirked and cursed, He should have scored the next goal with a 50% shot rate.
He adjusted his posture for a second free throw, even shorter!
Two free throws missed, and the Los Angeles Lakers were still eight points behind, 10-18.
Karl Malone did not appear like other powerful power forwards to mock Michael Udin's identity as an Asian high school student.
On the other hand, Michael Udin felt increasingly uncomfortable with this quiet and powerful monster.
In the process of retreating, Michael Udin had fought against him, but he felt that every move he made was like hitting a sandbag that could not be shaken at all.
Karl Malone's body was extraordinarily strong, but he wasn't like the kind of simple minded person. Karl Malone felt like a very cunning man with deep thoughts.
Carl Malone was indifferent to Michael Udin's actions, and he wanted no response at all.
It was only after partner John Stockton had dribbled to slow his pace that he made his next move. Karl Malone had his arm slightly to the right, and Michael Udin, who was nearby, was thrown half a meter away. Karl Malone ran out of pick-and-roll from the low post!
Nick Van Exel defended John Stockton while looking back at Karl Malone's movement.
Even though Utah does not have a championship, many people affirm that they are one of the most successful duos in history. A core factor of their success is the ever-changing pick-and-roll tactic!
Karl Malone likes to use his brain to play, but he can also drop ten games. Just as Nick Van Exel was looking for a fake act like what Karl Malone would do, a solid door plank pick-and-roll beat Nick. Van Exel nailed in place!
If John Stockton is not guarded, then he can shoot without a stalemate in the first half. Of course, Michael Udin couldn't let this happen!
While Michael Udin was still figuring out how to defend against his kids, John Stockton suddenly received the ball and swung the ball to the ground in one move!
By this time, Karl Malone had already turned around and placed the "little" Nick Van Exel behind him. Michael Udin's brain and body had determined that John Stockton would pass the ball from his side.
Michael Udin is very confident with the length of his legs, but his nearly splitting movement doesn't stop the ball at all, because John Stockton's hand-raising is just a fake!
Michael Udin's side shovel cost him his air defense, John Stockton raised his wrist with his right hand, and the ball flew over Michael Udin's head into the basket!
Karl Malone took off on one leg and dipped his hands in the air relay!
Shark O'Neal, who was moved from the three-second zone could only look at the ball and sigh!
In the NBA where there is a three-second defensive offense, such pick-and-roll tactics are very hard to defend!
In fact, the three-second defense rule has its advantages and disadvantages for players. NBA rules will give offensive players more room to attack, so there will be more breakthroughs, aerial cuts, and air relays, and more dunks will also be played. It will look more fun.
The price of all this is that after the development of world basketball, the American Dream Team gradually lost its dominance over the world.
The first quarter got a very good Karl Malone, making the whole Staples Center seem a bit deserted.
22-12, the Utah Jazz are leading by ten points won by Karl Malone.
Teammates also do not mean to blame Michael Udin, because previously Elden Campbell's defense did not have a very good effect.
The Los Angeles Lakers played a little under pressure, and the atmosphere on the pitch was a little lifeless.
