On May 22, at the Auckland Athletic Hall at the Warriors' home court, in the evening, the Bay Area fans came to cheer for the home team. As Rick Barry said, this is nineteen years of watch, and how many nineteen years of life are there.

As for the Jazz who played away, in recent seasons, as the ranks of Karl Malone and John Stockton gradually increased, they brought Salt Lake City to an incredible height. Although the Jazz had not won a championship during this period, when you look at the strength rankings of the team every season, this team can always steadily rank in the top ten, which is a huge contrast with the Warriors on the opposite side.

The Warriors were led by Old Nelson in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the only thing he remembered by Bay Area fans was that Mickey Richmond was the move of the rookie Billy Owens. If the TMC combination was not broken up, even if this team could not win the championship, there would be no problem in the playoffs.

After all, the West in this era can enter the playoffs with about 38 wins. I don’t know if it’s the influence of Wang Lin this year. The Lakers’ winning rate has reached 50%, but they haven’t entered the playoffs yet. It’s a bit like a wild West.

This game was also praised by everyone as the best team battle. A total of 5 people from both sides were selected for the best team. Among them, Weber, Beetles and Malone were in the first team, and they squeezed out Pippen. In the first team, only Penns were from the East. This is embarrassing. Mullin and Stockton were in the second team and the third team. In addition, Weber, Malone and Stockton were selected for the best defensive team, which is more exciting than the Warriors playing mosaics in front. The cards of both sides looked bigger than before.

This is destined to be a tough battle. Whether it is Wang Lin or Sloan, they were very cautious in their interviews with reporters before this game. Neither of them said that they would definitely win the game themselves, because the lineups of both sides are really similar, both of which are teams without shortcomings, but the team has more than one ace.

Before the game started, Ma Jian came up to say hello to Hu Weidong and Wang Lin. He was very grateful to Wang Lin because after the conversation with Wang Lin, he could really do a stable rotation with the Jazz, which was something that he didn't dare to think about before.

The one who was squeezed out by Ma Jian was Jamil Watson, a second-round pick in 1994. Ma Jian is currently David Bennott's stable substitute. He can play ten minutes on average in the playoffs, which is really good, especially for a player with a low pick.

Wang Lin also patted the other party on the shoulder, "Well, fight well, I look forward to your performance." He used a bottle of special attribute potion for Ma Jian, who directly changed from a water dispenser administrator to a main rotation. Sure enough, krypton gold makes people stronger, this is really a famous saying.

Ma Jian nodded and said a few words to Hu Weidong. He went back to training. Sloan's starting lineup was the same as Wang Lin expected, but Sloan would never have imagined the Warriors' starting lineup.

Sloan's starting lineup is like this, John Stockton, Jeff Hornersek, David Bennott, Karl Malone, and Antoine Kyle, while Wang Lin's starting lineup is the Beetles and Doug Christie. Wang Lin has not changed here, but at the third position, Wang Lin did not let God play with his left hand, but instead went on - Brian Russell, the Jazz old player, the fourth position is Weber and Langley, the fifth position. In a word, this lineup is for Malone, Weber and Brian Russell, and Malone's life is not too good.

"Brian came out?"

Sloan's face collapsed and he looked at the three assistant coaches. Does Wang Lin have any good solutions to the lineup?

Gordon Giza and Phil Johnson are two of Sloan's most valued assistants. As for David Feredman in the middle, he needs to learn a lot.

"The King's lineup is obviously aimed at Carl, so the pick-and-roll between Carl and John will become extremely difficult in this game. Brian's size is counted in the third position. If it weren't for height, he would have no problem playing in the fourth position, so he can only rely on Carl's personal ability to break the situation." Phil Johnson said a lot. In fact, choosing Brian Russell was his suggestion. He thought the latter would become the key puzzle for the Jazz. As a result, he was traded to the Warriors after only one season of playing. Now the Jazz has to bear the consequences for him on the opponent.

Sloan's face was ugly. Phil Johnson was good at everything. He just said whatever he said and never expressed it in a tactful way. Oh, forget it, this game can only be seen by Malone's personal performance.

At the beginning of the game, Malone still used his elbow to open the offensive end, but Weber had mastered Malone's elbow opening rules and easily avoided it. Then he pressed. The postman was not panicked at all. He switched the ball to another hand and started playing back. Although Weber made significant progress this season, his tonnage and strength were still worse than Malone. Malone had already thought about it, and today he would use this game to tell Weber - why I am the first in the league. As for Barkley, Malone chose to ignore it. He didn't think that the Fliggy who defected from Philadelphia to Phoenix had the qualifications to compare with himself.

Just as Malone was playing on his back, Weber and Brian Russell made a gesture, and the latter immediately let go David Bennot and rushed towards Malone. Malone was a little confused at the first time. Damn it seems that something was wrong. You haven't played like this in the first two rounds of the regular season and the playoffs. Bang, Brian Russell didn't give the postman time to respond, cut the ball off cleanly and threw it out directly. John Stockton grabbed the Beetles, did not let the opponent break fast, but paid the price of a foul.

It was a bit unfavorable to the Jazz at the beginning. All the things Phil Johnson said were revealed in the first attack. Damn this guy was so open-minded Bailey's mouth?

The ball rights became the Warriors, and the Beetles did not rush speed. As a top point guard, he knew when to be fast and when to be slow, and a guy like Stockton did not give him a chance to accelerate.

So when he arrived at the frontcourt, the Beetles glanced at his teammates casually, and did not find a good pass route, so they jumped up and swung. Wang Lin said that in this round of the series, he had unlimited firepower on the outside. As long as he could beat Stockton, it didn't matter how he played.
