Chapter 211
However, the two Utah duo looked gloomy, especially John Stockton, who was white, whose face was almost as dark as Karl Malone, who was black, as if he was poisoned. He left with a strong "get out" and left.
"Tsk tsk--"
Han Yi scratched his head: "What's the matter? You think my kindness is useless, right?"
"No wonder you two can't win the championship in your life, it turns out that your vision is really bad!"
...
The championship has long been a headache for the Utah duo. There are many veterans in the league who are eager for NBA championship rings, but there shouldn't be many guys who are more obsessed with the championship than them!
Because they were so close to the championship ring, maybe only a two-point difference, but in the end it was just this two-point difference that made them empty-handed.
Unwilling, really unwilling!
But no matter how unwilling, it is all in the past. The fact is that when the basketball god Michael Jordan was in power, the powerful Utah duo was just the best supporting role for the Chicago Bulls to ascend to the altar!
And today, Han Yi, who has been touted as the new emperor of the NBA, got the championship ring in front of him. So, this time, will they be regarded as the villains or insignificant supporting roles again?
"I don't know about this season," John Stockton said, "Karl, but I hope we must win this game!"
"Of course!" Karl Malone said with a fierce look on his face: "Look, look at how happy the Celtics fans are laughing now. Two hours later, I will make them cry so miserably!"
The first game of the Celtics in the 1999-2000 season officially began!
Starting lineups of both teams:
Utah Jazz:
PG: John Stockton, SG: Jeff Hornacek, SF: Brian Russell, PF: Karl Malone, C: Olden Polynice
Boston Celtics:
PG: Manu Ginobili, SG: Stephen Jackson, SF: Tracy McGrady, PF: Han Yi, C: Ben Wallace.
Compared with the lineup that lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games on the stage of the 1998 NBA Finals, the Utah Jazz's lineup has only changed one of the five positions, that is, the center position. Greg Foster was replaced by Olden Polynice.
The other positions are exactly the same, which shows how rich the playoff experience of this Utah Jazz is. Every player has seen too many big scenes.
But it is also because of this that the Utah Jazz's combat power is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve!
Because their lineup is too old!
37-year-old Stockton, 36-year-old Jeff Hornacek, 30-year-old Brian Russell, 36-year-old Karl Malone, they have experience, but the starting lineup is all old, right?
The saying "Time spares no one" has been clearly reflected on this Jazz team!
On the other hand, this Boston Celtics team:
22-year-old Ginobili, 21-year-old Stephen Jackson, 20-year-old McGrady, 22-year-old Han Yi, 25-year-old Ben Wallace!
To exaggerate, if the Celtics starters pretend to be young, calling the Jazz starters "uncle", it would not be considered as being taken advantage of!
Why is Han Yi not anxious about his lineup? Because his lineup is young enough, so young that Han Yi is willing to take the initiative to lead them and wait for them.
The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, obviously went to the opposite extreme of the Celtics. The core players of the Jazz are so old that they are falling apart. Even if there are young players with enough talent, such as Andrei Kirilenko, who joined the team this year and is later known as AK47, the Utah duo has no time to wait for his growth!
Kirilenko has good talent, but wants to enter the regular season rotation? Sorry, don't come to the NBA yet, continue to polish it in Europe for two years!
As the referee standing in the center of the TD North Shore Garden home court threw the basketball high!
Han Yi once again jumped to a height that made Jazz center Olden Polynice open his mouth to the point of dislocation!
For a blue-collar inside player like Olden Polynice, this difference in bounce even made him give up the desire to jump with Han Yi
!
Han Yi easily won the first wave of ball possession for the Boston Celtics. Then, in a flash, Han Yi came to the Jazz's restricted area and jumped high! !
"Bang!"
A powerful grand slam ignited the emotions of the entire North Shore Garden home court!
Back, back, all the familiar feelings are back!
0:2!
In this regard, the Utah Jazz was not panicked at all. Han Yi's dunk just now was completely within their expectations. In other words, a ball like that was not within the Jazz's defense range at all. What the Jazz had to do was to do a good job of the offense they could control!
In the first round, the Jazz took out their golden photo: pick-and-roll offense!
Karl Malone pulled Stockton to the top line for a pick-and-roll. During this staggered situation, Han Yi, who was forced to defend Malone, was replaced in front of Stockton, and Manu Ginobili, who was not tall enough, could only hug Karl Malone's thigh helplessly!
The second-year Ginobili was as thin as a chicken in front of Malone. Any pushing action was directly ignored by Malone, and he shot from mid-range and scored!
2:2!
After Karl Malone scored, he glared at Han Yi fiercely:
"Boy, don't think you are arrogant just because you are the defending champion. I have killed countless defending champions in my life. Our old-school Jazz is the absolute killer of traffic teams like you. I will make your ring night a painful defeat!"
Stockton didn't say anything, but his eyes still revealed a strong hatred for Han Yi!
"What are you doing?" Han Yi said with a smile, "I don't care if you can't win the championship. I didn't win the championship from you. What's the point of a team that couldn't even make it to the Western Conference Finals last season?"
"Although your wish is humble and you don't even dare to think about the championship, you just want to disgust us. But what I want to say is, stop dreaming!"
"It's just a regular season game, we won't let you win!"
