In Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers came to the home court of the Jazz.

Although the first two games at the Forum Arena in Los Angeles suffered two almost humiliating losses, the young Jazz did not seem to be depressed.

In this game, they returned to the home stadium, and still played strongly.

From the very beginning of the competition, he showed a strong fighting spirit.

Carl Malone attacked frantically, constantly tearing at the Lakers' interior defense.

It is obvious that the current Abdul-Jabbar is indeed no longer as brave as he was in the past.

The 40-year-old physique can not withstand the tossing of Ma Long, who is in his 20s, and after a few rounds, he was hit by Ma Long's big iron elbow.

And Rodman was also deeply troubled by fouls in this game, and most of the time was spent off the court.

The Lakers continue to lose points on the inside, but fortunately, Zhou Chen's hand on the outside today is quite good, compared to the last game, the shooting percentage has improved a lot.

But a three-point shot is always a three-pointer, and it doesn't have the same consistency as ever.

In the course of this game, the Lakers have been playing very glue with the Jazz, and the score has not been pulled apart.

The Lakers, who won easily in the first two games, may not have expected the Jazz to be so difficult.

I didn't expect the Jazz to cause them so much trouble in this game.

The score alternately went up, and the glue continued until the final moments of the game.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, the Lakers finally led the Jazz by 1 point!

Malone hit the basket and caused Boll to foul and stand at the free throw line!

First free throw! The Jazz tied the score!

When he made his second free throw, Zhou Chen suddenly walked up to him and quietly muttered to him:

"The postman doesn't work on weekends!"

That's right, today is the weekend of American time, and Zhou Chen didn't think too much, just wanted to ridicule Ma Long's "nickname".

But I never expected that Ma Long was really unstable and missed this key ball!

The Lakers protect the rebound!

Zhou Chen advanced all the way to the front court, flashed and moved, and a rollover mid-range jumper hit steadily!

87-85, the Lakers overtook by 2 points!

Textbook-like shooting posture, Zhou Chen's shooting was like a sharp blade, fiercely inserted into the heart of the Jazz.

With only 5.9 seconds left in the game, Zhou Chen's mid-range jumper was almost a quasi-kill!

The Jazz hurriedly called out the last timeout of the game and prepared to lay out a tactic.

Carl Malone sat on the bench with his head in his hands, constantly repenting.

His mind kept recalling the sentence that Zhou Chen had just ridiculed, and he hated why his psychological quality was so poor!

Zhou Chen's ordinary joke actually interfered with him and missed the ball!

The Jazz obviously have a chance to overtake the score, and if they hit that goal, I'm afraid that the outcome of everything will be different!

Jazz head coach Frank Redden, looking at Malone and knowing that he had completely degenerated this game.

So he temporarily changed his mind, and the last 5.9 seconds of tactics did not choose 2 points!

Because looking at Malone's lost soul, I know that even if he hits 2 points in this game, entering overtime, the Jazz will still not be the opponent of the Lakers.

So it's better to fight for a three-pointer at the end and score to win the game.

Frank Reden devised a clever bottom-corner running tactic for Stockton that would confuse the Lakers' defense with the cover and running position of his teammates.

The timeout ended and the players from both sides returned to the field!

Several Jazz players gathered outside the 3-point line at a 45-degree angle on the wing.

They wanted to design a three-point open opportunity in the bottom corner for Stockton, who was running in the position, according to the coach's established tactical design.

Zhou Chen felt that this scene seemed familiar, and suddenly understood something.

Seeing that the Jazz were ready to serve, Zhou Chen quickly shouted to Manute Pol next to him: "Go to the bottom corner over there to defend!"

He pointed to the bottom corner on the left.

However, that position is now empty! The Jazz didn't send players to stand up!

When Boll heard Zhou Chen's command, he also shouted and didn't understand, and he thought to himself: There is obviously no one in that bottom corner, this is to let me defend the air?

Although he was very unconvinced, Zhou Chen's words were the truth on the court, and he could not be questioned by a newcomer.

Although Coach Riley originally let Boll stand under the basket to defend and protect the rebound, since Zhou Chen had spoken, Pol could only obediently run to the bottom corner position to defend the air.

Lakers coach Riley next to him was also very puzzled when he saw this scene, and constantly yelled at Boll, wanting him to quickly return to the inside to protect the rebound.

The Jazz commentator at the scene laughed and teased: "What are the Lakers doing on their last defense?" Pol doesn't stand under the basket and let him go defensive air? The

fans also erupted into cheers, as if the Jazz had already decided to get the last ball, although it had not yet been delivered!

At this time, only Jazz head coach Frank Redden looked at the situation on the court with a gloomy face, and then sighed.

The Jazz send out the ball!

They did not give the last attack to Marlon as the outside world expected!

It's Stockton who keeps running!

The Jazz players gave Stockton a lot of cover and blocking!

He finally ran to the bottom corner!

But the moment he ran over, Pol was already there!

The Jazz's serve, seeing that the situation is not good, can only give up passing to Stockton!

The Jazz's bottom-corner three-point shooting strategy just failed! It was perfectly recognized by Zhou Chen!

Seeing that the serve time was almost up, he could only pass the ball to Mark Eaton!

Eaton passed the ball hand to Malone!

Time flies by, and Malone makes a hasty shot from outside the three-point line at the last moment!

Shot hit the iron missed!

The game is over!

The Lakers win thrilling on the road! Rewrote the big score of the series to 3:0!

Got the match point!

After the game, Pol also frantically praised Zhou Chen in an interview:

"He is really the smartest person in the world!"

Riley also laughed and ridiculed in an interview after the game: "Maybe Zhou Chen can consider coming to me as an assistant coach after retiring!" "

In this game, Zhou Chen once again let the world see his terrible!

Not only does he have superb physical fitness and basketball skills, but his basketball IQ is also ridiculously high!

The tumultuous operation of letting Boll go to the bottom corner to defend the air is destined to go down in history and become a good story in the NBA playoffs!

Western Conference semifinals, three games, this round of the series has no suspense!

No team can achieve a comeback when trailing 3-0, and the Lakers' promotion to the Western Conference finals is already a sure thing!

After a two-day break in Utah, the two sides are about to play the fourth game of the series.

Before the start of the fourth game, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from Lakers owner Bass:

"Zhou Chen, let this game go, so that we can return to the home court and play another game, and we can earn 10 million more US dollars!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
