Why are the Jazz the best litmus test for the Hawks to increase their rotation?

Because this is one of the few teams in the league that values rotation the most. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

How can a team be resolute in executing rotations?

It has to be the manager who has enough authority to be able to control the players' team.

And "Iron Nose" Sloan is one of the few head coaches in the league who has the ability to do so.

With no one at the All-Star Game, the well-rested Jazz had a pretty good run after the all-time weekend, and they quickly won three straight games and gradually caught up with the top teams in the West.

The Jazz generals, who are holding their breath, want to prove their worth in the regular season after the All-Star break.

February 23, 2009, Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Center Arena.

The Eagles will be on a bus to the visiting locker room, but when they make final preparations before the game, they find that there is one missing from the team.

"Hey, did anyone see the birdman?" asked assistant coach Van Exel, holding the roster.

Outside of the crowd, Larry Drew, another assistant coach, pulled out his phone and said, "Anderson sent me a text saying he had some personal matters to attend to and promised to be back before the game started!"

Embarrassed Sen said worriedly: "This guy won't go to have a good time, right? ”

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said: "Probably not, he is no longer the Anderson of the past, I have confidence in him!"

Erniu's explanation is not convincing, and guys with criminal records are always not so reassuring.

However, it's strange to say, in a city like Salt Lake City with good security, it's probably not so simple to get a pack of D hemp, right?

Fortunately, Birdman finally rushed back to the locker room at the last moment when the players were ready to go.

Woodson was surprised and asked, "Where have you been?"

Birdman complained helplessly: "Utah is really a ghost place, and you have to find a place to buy a bottle of hair wax for a long time." ”

"Poof!"

The lunar eclipse, who was drinking water, finally couldn't hold back, and a mouthful of water squirted out, and then the locker room immediately burst into laughter and fighting.

Birdman's name doesn't just come from the embroidery of his arms, without that skyrocketing crown, who would remember this extraordinarily efficient but still ordinary white blue-collar worker.

In the Atlanta Hawks, the best-selling jersey is naturally Ruan Erniu, a monster of the Celestial Empire, but the second-best jersey sales this season are not on the Embarrassment or the Lunar Eclipse, but by the Birdman.

Being able to defend the basket as much as he can in the only playing time he has and pull off some simple offensive finishes, the Birdman's performance and popularity are definitely far exceeding his base salary contract.

This also proves Erniu's vision, which is after all the player he introduced.

"It's a lot of waxing!"

Erniu watched the birdman change his jersey as quickly as possible, and then picked up a large handful of hair wax and applied it to his head, and sighed.

Ruan Erniu decided to go back and find Leon Ross and ask him to help Birdman get a hair wax ad as soon as possible.

If this continues, Erniu is very suspicious, and 80% of the birdman's salary will be used to buy hair wax.

Everyone packed up and came to the field to warm up, and after the warm-up and the routine opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams officially took their positions.

The Hawks' main starters are consistent as usual, while the Jazz's starters are completely incomprehensible:

C Memet Oku

PF Carlos Boozer

SF Ronnie Brewer

SG CJ Mills

PG Delon Williams

When Jerry Sloan also put Paul Millsap, Kyler Korver, Matt Haprin and Andrei Kirilenko off the bench at the same time, no one could guess what he would do next!

Mike Woodson was right, and the Jazz were indeed a good litmus test.

Only after experiencing such a tough defense and excellent rotation test as the Jazz can we verify and compare whether the Hawks' rotation is reliable.

Compared to the young and inexperienced Trail Blazers, the old Jazz can better reflect the overall tactical execution of the Hawks.

This is the first time the two teams have met this season, and Sloan's willingness to put on such a starting lineup is a testament to the fact that he has ideas for this game.

If you look at it from a surprise perspective, Sloan at least outstarted Woodson in the start.

Ruan Erniu won Oku in the jump ball session, and the ball went to Bibi's hand, who directly controlled the ball through the half court and passed the ball to Embarrassment.

Facing CJ Mills' defense, Embarrassment made a fake shot and burst into the interior line, facing Oku is a throw.

Didn't hit!

Boozer grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Delon

DeLong used his physical advantage to press Bibby through half court, and then passed the ball to Ronnie Brewer, who in turn passed it to CJ Mills, who in turn passed the ball back to DeLong.

DeLong sent a striking pass, and this time it was Oku who had risen up to receive the ball.

Of course, Erniu knew that the Turks had long-distance projection ability, so he hurriedly followed, wanting to block Oku's projection with defense.

In the face of Erniu's pressing defense, Oku's shooting was unexpectedly decisive.

"Brush!"

The Turk took a long-range shot from a back back to score two points for the home team.

Resolute enough on the offensive end!

Even if he knew that Kraft Nguyen could save, he was like facing the Rockets' Da Yao and Hayes, making the Celestial Empire fans desperately send the ball to the basket.

"It's Oku again, why is he so energetic as soon as he hits the Celestial Empire player?"

"Erniu is slow to pounce, and he should still put pressure on the Turks before he catches the ball. ”

"The height of Oku is 211CM, which has obvious advantages, and the height of Erniu is only 201CM, which is a little taller than Haiye, and I still can't prevent Oku!"

"Upstairs, a while ago, the lunar eclipse broke out, and Erniu is now 6 feet 9 inches tall, and you are already the height when you first entered the alliance. ”

"That's not right! How can Ruan Erniu handle how many big centers? Most centers are taller than him, right!"

"That's because Erniu is strong on the offensive end, can blow up the opponent, and Al Jefferson is a way to deal with Da Yao, and the lower handicap is stable, and now most centers in the league are too rough, so Erniu basically blows up the opponent, but Oku's projection inside line that shortens the inside line is more troublesome. ”

"Come on, it's just restrained, sit back and wait for the bull to blow the ground, the short inside line is a loss on the defensive end, what is there to justify. ”

……

Celestial Empire fans expressed their opinions on the forum, some black and some secret, but this could not help or interfere with the confrontation between Ruan Erniu and Aoku on the field.

After the opening game, the Hawks struggled on the offensive end, only relying on a lunar eclipse to hit the basket and scoring 1 point on 1-of-2 free throws.

On the other side, the Turkish center was in a brave state, facing Ruan Erniu and hitting a large 2 points one after another, that is, he could put the ball into the basket unreasonably, even if Erniu's defense was already in place.

Woodson had to call a short timeout in hopes of interrupting Oku's hot touch.

Ruan Erniu was also depressed, snatched the towel and draped it over his head to listen to Woodson's instructions on the defensive policy.

The wind and waves have come, even inside lines like Garnett, Duncan, and Yao Ming, Ruan Erniu has not booed, and he was actually shot in the face by Oku, a Turkic fat man, Ruan Erniu's depression can be imagined.

If Oku continues to be so accurate, the brute bull will be shot.
