Chapter 79: The Utah Jazz

The poor go to the bank to save money, while the rich do lend money from the bank. The difference between the poor and the rich is to save money and lend money. Michael Jordan opened a window for me to quickly accumulate wealth.

But this will be discussed after the end of the game against the Salt Lake City Utah Jazz.

The Utah Jazz's home stadium is called Delta Center. Delta is translated into Chinese as triangle. The name of the stadium has also been translated into the triangle center by some media. The entrance to the delta Center is a huge five-ring logo, with two huge words hanging upwards: deltacenter.

Basketball is the only thing that attracts attention here. Basketball-related ornaments can be seen everywhere. Their private rooms are almost completely hanging directly above the stadium. Someone once said that when standing in the private rooms in the center of Delta, the only feeling you feel is that you are standing at the top of a wonderful performance, and you can't help dancing with your feet.

Of course that refers to the person who came to perform, and I was the person who came to perform.

I stood on the court and tried to shoot a few mid-range shots. Suddenly I heard a cheer. I looked back and saw that Carl Malone's powerful body was hanging on the basket. He was a man who had set multiple Utah Jazz records, and he was also a man full of unlimited enthusiasm for basketball. His enthusiasm also gave him infinite excitement. Although he did not have a championship ring.

The starting list has been announced.

Utah Jazz starters: Greg Ostertag, Carl Malone, Andre Killerenko, Byron Russell, John Stockton.

Washington Wizards starters: Kwame Brown, Christian Letterner, Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, Tyrone Rue.

The Wizards' lineup has been useless for a long time. Tyron Ru has been on the bench recently. Among the two starting lineups with three small teams, Hubert Davis is usually the small forward and Michael Jordan is the point guard. This time, Tyron Ru earned the starting lineup because Hubert Davis is going to be traded.

"Kaome, your task is the Big White Bear - Greg Ostertag. His offense is not good, but his rebounds are still good. When defending, you have to push him out of the basket, and when attacking, you have to drag him out of the paint..."

Greg Ostertag, nicknamed the Big White Bear, is 218 cm tall and weighs 127 kilograms. His huge size gives him the potential to become an inside defensive barrier and rebounding machine. His assisted defense and blocking awareness are also very good. In 1996, with the Rockets, who have three superstars, he played the strength of the top inside, which very much limited the performance of Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley. In the finals, he almost beat the Bulls' weak inside. This was a once very excellent blue-collar center. Although he lived in the shadow of Carl Malone and John Stockton, he was never famous in the world.

jump ball!

The bear is always stupid, whether he is white or black, it is obvious that Greg Ostertag's wide body makes him as clumsy as a big white bear. I jumped up, and when I lowered my head, I felt like I was looking down at him. He didn't seem to jump at all, or was only three centimeters away from the ground.

Michael Jordan got the basketball and handed it to Tyron Rue. Tyron Rue drove the electric motor leg and rushed to the front court.

I leaned against the Big White Bear Greg Ostertag and tried hard to keep him behind me. The fat man who once made me suffer a lot in the playoffs was still relatively stable. Although I was squeezed out of the position step by step, it is undeniable that his strength is still very strong.

Tyron Rudd dribbled on the outside, Michael Jordan and Richard Hamilton suddenly crossed, Byron Russell, who defended Michael Jordan, and Andre Hamilton, who defended Richard Hamilton, almost met. The ball was successfully handed over to Michael Jordan, and Jordan made a back jump shot and easily sent the ball into the basket.

John Stockton brought the ball to the frontcourt, dribbled the ball with his right hand, curled up his thumb with his left hand, stretched out the remaining four fingers, and signaled to his teammates to play some tactic.

Tyron Lu suddenly stepped on the snatch and tried to steal the distracted John Stockton. Stockton slapped the ball back with his right hand, handed the ball to his left hand, and then easily broke in from Tyron Lu's side.

I quickly let go of Greg Ostertag to block the direction of his breakthrough. John Stockton slapped the ball and turned around gently. I quickly moved my steps to try to squeeze his movement space with my body.

But my steps encountered obstacles, and Carl Malone stood beside me, only to see Christian Leitner.

Christian Letterner has already stood outside the reasonable collision zone, and he is doing the final defense. I quickly adjusted my balance, turned around, chased the basket, and tried to double-team John Stockton.

John Stockton jumped up to Christian Letterner, who did not move, stretched his arms and kept waving his huge palms.

I was a little far away, but I also jumped up. Although it might not work, I tried my best to interfere with him.

The ball disappeared from John Stockton's hand, I was still in the air, Christian Letterner was still standing there, Michael Jordan was still on the outside, and Carl Malone was completely in the open space.

It's very easy to catch the ball, shoot, and enter the ball.

This is the real pick-and-roll. Carl Malone blocks the person who makes up for defense, blocking John Stockton's real breakthrough space. After that, John Stockton attracted double-teams from the inside and dismantled the ball to Carl Malone who is in the open position. It would be difficult not to score a goal!

In the past, I ran to the outside to do pick-and-rolls for Michael Jordan and Richard Hamilton, which was simply shit, defiling the word pick-and-roll.

The game continued, and Tyron Lu dribbled to the frontcourt. John Stockton bent over and stared at Tyron Lu's movements, guarding against Tyron Lu's breakthrough.

Tyron Lu's three-pointer was really bad. If Michael Jordan was replaced, it would probably be a jump shot, but Tyron Lu's three-pointer at this position was really not a good match.

Michael Jordan pulled to a 45-degree angle to catch the ball, accelerated, stopped quickly, shook the half of the body of Byron Russell, who was defending him, jumped up, stroked the left hand and pushed the right hand, and the basketball was about to take action.

No team will underestimate Michael Jordan. Even though he is 39 years old this year, he is still Michael Jordan. Andre Kirirenko made up the gap, jumped high, and his palm covered the basketball in Jordan's hand.

"Get rebounds!" Michael Jordan shouted.

I quickly turned around and rushed into the paint area, squeezed the big white bear behind me, and stared at the elf sliding in the air.

The basketball hit the rebound, bounced to the basket, and fell down.

I leaned back, squatted down, jumped up high, hugged the basketball tightly with both hands, and landed on the ground. I couldn't feel the pressure from the big white bear behind me, so I jumped up again, and I smashed my hands hard towards the basket.

A very exciting dunk, but it was indeed booed all over the audience.
