Kobe As the youngest player on the field, of course he wanted to turn things around himself, he took a pass from Nick Van Exel and tried to play singles!
In terms of appearance alone, Kobe is undoubtedly taller and stronger than Jeff Hornacek, and overall Kobe also excels in terms of speed and power.
But when the two are in a real offensive and defensive battle, Kobe can't take advantage of the attack!
Kobe dribbled to and fro and flew up and down, but it was Jeff Hornacek who managed to hold on to his position.
Kobe who likes to force a shot is very difficult to get a chance to force a shot to his head. This situation made Michael Udin very surprised. 1.4 steals Jeff Hornacek in his career is indeed a top defender.
However, a 1.91 meter white guard could not defend Kobe like this in any case. The Utah Jazz today are more eager to win. This mentality also makes their players appear on the offensive and defensive ends!
In desperation, Kobe could only pass the ball to Eddie Jones. After Eddie Jones made two probing steps and found that Brian Russell wasn't faltering, he passed the ball to Shaquille, who was asked by inside. O'Neill.
This time, as soon as Shaquille O'Neal hit the ball, it caught the attention of Karl Malone's doubles team!
Shaquille O'Neal, who is in normal condition, does not hit hard with the opponent and two kings, he uses a freehand pass from behind to Michael Udin who is quietly hiding under the basket.
How could Michael Udin squander an opportunity when the team boss passed in seconds?
Michael Udin is about to dunk, John Stockton comes and smashes the ball out of Michael Udin's hand!
Blocked by opposing players Michael Udin did not dunk, he made a high throw and the ball slid into the net.
"This year the Utah Jazz are stronger. Their overall coordination has caused a lot of pressure on the Lakers!
Karl Malone was just an MVP level performance, Elden Campbell and he was hard to match, and Michael Udin was too young.
If the Lakers can't hold off Karl Malone at both ends of attack and defence, then their game today is dangerous. ", Magic Johnson said to his co-workers, Although the first quarter is not over, the trend of this game is clear.
"Indeed the Lakers are a team with great potential, but now the Utah Jazz are better.
Except for center position, every other point of the Utah Jazz has established full emphasis on the Lakers.
Kobe and Michael Udin, once very energetic, cannot play at this level of confrontation. "
Dr. J. Julius Owen and Magic Johnson share the same view.
"A rookie must have a growth process like this. Karl Malone is really amazing now, but when he saw his rookies in those years, he didn't even dare to show up!", Larry Bird commented.
With Michael Udin on the pitch, Karl Malone's offensive desire was not as high as before, of course John Stockton understood his partner's intent.
Utah had a Western Conference final last year. The two reached a consensus that everyone should participate in the game, so the accumulation of hard work can allow the role players to make a difference in the key playoffs.
Michael Udin originally thought that he would have a one-on-one fight with Karl Malone, but this top power forward level MVP didn't treat him as an opponent at all!
Karl Malone didn't even bother going into singles with Michael Udin. He continued to pick-and-rolls, and John Stockton missed the chances he created for the rest of his team-mates.
Michael Udin is still exhausted with the Utah Shuangsha pick-and-roll.
The Los Angeles Lakers couldn't match the intensity and rhythm of the Utah Jazz. Michael Udin never committed a foul. In a sense, he had completed the task that coach Delmar Harris had completed.
After Elden Campbell entered the field, the situation did not subside.
Less than halfway through the fourth quarter, the game had entered trash time, 108-87, the most points of this kind for the Los Angeles Lakers this season.
Delmar Harris gave up replacing the main lineup, and Jerry Sloan also teamed up to replace the Utah Jazz.
As first-year rookies, Michael Udin and Kobe stayed on the pitch even at inopportune times.
For these two brothers, there is no concept of waste time, and they also show a courageous fighting spirit during waste time.
"Let's practice pick-and-roll too, just learn from the two opposites!"
Michael Udin tormented with the pick-and-roll Utah Jazz, had a painful experience.
"Try it, but our two pick-and-rolls are like Boy Scouts compared to those two."
Kobe, who is confined to singles, wants to try his pick-and-roll practice further.
Such a huge gap had made Kobe a big wave in his heart, and this feeling was a feeling he couldn't experience at Lower Merion High.
Michael Udin and Kobe try to emulate Utah's double-screw pick-and-rolls at waste time. Of course, coach Delmar Harris can catch a glimpse of their thoughts.
This kind of thing happened for the first time in Delmar Harris' coaching career, which caused him to have some ambivalence.
The two rookies had the idea of mastering the skills to control the barbarians. Logically, this is a commendable thing, but it is the head coach's responsibility to develop tactics and apply tactics on the spot.
Delmar Harris made no such arrangement, and the behavior of Michael Udin and Kobe was already somewhat extraordinary.
Michael Udin and Kobe's pick-and-roll effects are good, but their cooperation is limited. Their pick-and-roll skills can only be tested in periods of low intensity.
In fact, Kobe is rather disgusted at pick-and-rolls. He prefers to do it himself. He had just come to the NBA and he couldn't play singles indiscriminately, so he agreed with Michael Udin to practice pick-and-roll. tactics.
Whether it's Kobe's passing and scoring, or Michael Udin's positioning and finish, they still have a long way to go.
The Sharks felt that the tactics Michael Udin and Kobe saw as a starting point could not beat the Utah Jazz, and both wanted to start from scratch and use what they thought was the right way to win.
On the field, Michael Udin and Kobe did not realize the seriousness of the problem, they continued to play pick-and-roll tactics until the last round of the match.
The 121-105 flop made everyone's face look like poker cards, and everyone didn't say a word when they returned to the locker room.
Assistant Coach Larry Drew didn't look very good when he shared Michael Udin's technical stats and Kobe didn't say a word after making eye contact a few times.
