Chapter 594: Not Satisfied

Whether in the basketball forums of the United States or in the basketball forums of the Celestial Empire, Jerry Sloan is a sympathetic existence, because as of this season, the league has not given him the title of best coach once. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are many reasons for this, but no matter how you look at it, Jerry Sloan has been able to stand as a powerhouse in the West for many years.

After the end of the Stockton and Malone eras, Jerry Sloan, who was almost reinvented, built on Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, rebuilt a new Utah Iron Army and made it a competitive Western powerhouse again.

Jerry Sloan is a more old-school head coach than Woodson, who is so old-school that he doesn't have access to the internet and only uses his phone to make calls.

That's all, after all, it's understandable that he's old and can't keep up with new things, but what's even more surprising is that Jerry Sloan is said to never watch a replay of a basketball game because that's the job of an assistant coach.

When a reporter asked him how he felt after watching the video of the Spurs' loss, Popovich righteously said that he never watched the video, and that he learned it from Jerry Sloan.

Given the Spurs' tradition that even a punctuation mark is questionable, whether Jerry Sloan will watch the game footage or not is gradually becoming a legend.

But even if Sloan doesn't look at it, that doesn't get in the way of the fact that he's a great manager.

Also an old-school coach, Mike Woodson still knows how to compromise with the team's superstars.

At this point, both Embarrassing Sen and Ruan Erniu are almost the same.

One was single-handedly promoted by him from the Suns to the leader of the team, and the other was simply established as the core of the team from the rookie period.

But once the two of them did do superstar-level things, Woodson was still able to lower his stature and handle the relationship between each other.

In that respect alone, Sloan and Woodson are at the other extreme, demanding absolute obedience and execution.

Not to mention Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, even Stockton and Malone must undergo the harshest baptism under Sloan's hair dryer.

This explains why players like Kirilenko and Halprin can be pressed to the bench, and only an iron-fisted coach like Sloan can suppress the restlessness of players and let them play under their own preset system.

For a coach like Sloane, the team and system are more important than the individual abilities of the stars.

Ruan Erniu personally dismisses this kind of old stubborn thinking, because facts have proved more than once that many times, the game can be decided by personal ability.

Otherwise, Jordan can't win six championships, the Lakers can't build a dynasty, even the Spurs, if there is no ultimate killer like Ginobili, there is no way to finally win so many odd-numbered championships.

However, Erniu didn't have the face to say this tonight, because he was actually shot in the face by Oku before the timeout ended.

In fact, for most of this season, Boozer has been out due to injury, and Oku has been the de facto second leader of the Jazz.

The Turks, who are averaging 17+ points per game and shooting 44.6% from three-point range, already have All-Star level strength.

So it's not surprising that a hardliner like Sloan dares to use Oku to open the main attack.

He's just going to carve a big hole in the Eagles' strongest point.

In this game, the fifth channel of the imperial court station also broadcast the matchup live, and the "double flat combination" gathered, Zhang Li and Sun Zhenping were the commentators of the game.

The Hawks have now replaced the Rockets as the nation's favorite NBA team, and the Jazz, as the No. 1 villain, naturally has no shortage of disgust or supporters.

Zhang said: "The Hawks are now facing the same problem as the Rockets, Erniu must pounce, but in this way, the defense on the inside will be weaker, and the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll is very powerful, and Delon's finishing ability under the basket is still above Stockton." ”

Sun Zhenping once again reviewed the finals battle between the Bulls and the Jazz, hoping that the two bulls could stand up and beat the Jazz team by one goal like Jordan, completely ignoring the huge difference in the position and style of play between the two.

Probably because he was commenting on Serie A a few days ago, Sun Zhenping's commentary style has not been completely pulled out of the football world.

Zhang Lili was also speechless for a while, and Mr. Sun's golden mouth opened, and sometimes he really didn't know how to take the next sentence.

The timeout is over and the players from both teams return to the field.

"Need help?" said Lunar Eclipse in Erniu's ear.

Ruan Erniu gritted his teeth and said, "NO! Just take care of your people, I will take care of Oku!"

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu asked for a position in a deep position, and Embarrassment sent the ball over as soon as possible.

Erniu raised his hips and attacked, and after forcing back Oku, he immediately threw his shot.

Boozer's defense was a step too slow and could only watch Erniu quickly send the ball into the basket.

This is not the end, Ruan Erniu immediately increased his intensity on the defensive end, and Oku, who barely received the ball, became difficult to even stand firm under Erniu's extremely aggressive defense, let alone shoot.

Oku didn't dare to force a throw, and passed the ball back to Delon, who reorganized the attack.

The classic Jazz blocking tactic, Deron Williams held the ball high, used Boozer's cover to enter the restricted area, misplaced and singled out the lunar eclipse, and after shaking the lunar eclipse with his feet, he easily put the ball into the basket under the basket.

Oku's presence is not only to add an offensive point, but also to help the team move Ruan Erniu, a low-post monster, out of the three-second zone.

Woodson immediately shouted on the sidelines and made a gesture to change defenses, since he wanted to retain more of Erniu's ability to protect the basket, there was only one way, let the lunar eclipse defend Oku, and let Erniu get Boozer.

This is the same reason that the Rockets let Hayes go to the top of Oku, but the Lunar Eclipse obviously has an advantage over Hayes in defending Oku, and Erniu is also much faster than Da Yao.

On the offensive end of the Hawks, after receiving a return pass from Erniu, Awkward Sen hit a three-pointer against CJ Mills.

Since you can't suppress the Jazz's offense on the defensive end for a while, give the opponent enough pressure on the offensive end first.

On the Jazz offensive end, Boozer missed a mid-range shot under the defense of Erniu, and the Hawks seized the opportunity to counterattack.

After Ruan Erniu won the rebound, he immediately sent a long-distance long pass, directly found Salmons in the frontcourt, and the salmon easily made a layup without defense and scored 2 points.

Sloan then opted for a substitution, bringing on the out-of-form Boozer for Millsap, while CJ Mills was also replaced by Keller Korver.

That's Sloan, and there's no player on his team that can't be replaced.

The Jazz's rotation started early, and Woodson didn't start his first rotation until the second half of the first quarter, replacing Embarrassing Son with Ronald Murray and Lunar Eclipse with Chris Anderson.

After being stunned at the beginning of the first quarter, the Hawks quickly stood on their feet, especially after Ruan Erniu's leadership continued to strengthen their defensive intensity, and gradually chased back the score gap.

At 27:31, the Eagles trailed their opponents by four points in the first quarter, a score that neither side could be satisfied with enough.

The Hawks wanted to crush the opponent strongly, but they were suppressed for a while, and the Jazz had been planning for a long time, not hesitating to hide the main team on the bench and adjust the direction of the initiative, but they did not get the best result they wanted.

As you can imagine, the next three quarters of the game will only get more intense.
