Chapter 62: Basketball is not art
"I will emphasize one last time, put away your contempt and show your fighting spirit. Opposite you www.biquge.info Counting across from you is the Purple and Gold Army, who took out the top spot in the regular season. Coach Sloan tapped on the tactics board in the locker room: "I hope you don't make a mistake in the game, and the new playbook was handed out to you on Wednesday." ”
Coach Sloan is known for his iron-blooded stubbornness, and he is always meticulous, even immutable. He believes that pick-and-roll is the most classic tactic in basketball history, and after the departures of Karl Malone and Stockton, he found two replacements, Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams, who carried his last hope.
He hopes to get a taste of the championship with this combination.
"This year is the perfect time. ”
Sloan has emphasized it countless times.
After a lot of sandbox deductions, this year is the best opportunity for the Jazz. After taking out the Rockets, all you need to do is take the Lakers off the horse, and then take out the Spurs, who are relatively weak this year, and the championship will be in your pocket...... Whoever stands up in the east has no deterrent.
Coach Sloan's words made the locker room feel high, and a championship is like a crown jewel for a professional footballer, and everyone wants to have it.
……
The Energy Solutions arena in Salt Lake City is home to the Jazz, and the altitude of more than 1,300 meters above sea level makes oxygen relatively thin here...... Athletes have higher oxygen requirements than the average person and are more likely to suffer from altitude sickness. So... It's also nicknamed the Devil's Home Field.
Of course... The reason for this place to be the home of the Devils is not only the plateau location, but also the people.
The Utahs are rude and wild, and they're the best at making noise and putting pressure on the visiting players in the league.
"When you walk into this hostile stadium, the 20,000 fans will start booing you, they will tell you that you are terrible, they will talk about your parents, even your dog. The Black Mamba told the Tiger Cub as he acclimatised to the training that he hoped the Tiger would be prepared for it: "They're going to make a big deal tonight." ”
Little Tiger nodded.
He's been to Salt Lake City before, and the fans here aren't friendly at all...... They can go from scolding to exiting, and they are very undisciplined...... It was still an ordinary regular season at the time, and now it's a crucial moment in the playoffs, and the intensity will definitely escalate again.
Around six o'clock in the evening, fans began to enter one after another.
Then, the little tiger heard a myriad of noisy and unpleasant sounds pouring into his ears.
Much more than the Dallasians.
At best, Dallas people just call you softass, or attack your skin color.
But here, from head to toe, there is no place where they do not lash out, and all kinds of foul language fly. By the way, he also attacked Little Tiger's gossip girlfriend, such as Lindsay Lohan is a. Megan Fox was by me last night and couldn't straighten up. Blake's tongue attack is terrible............ It's as bad as it sounds.
"If Kupchak can strengthen his interior in the offseason, the Lakers will be at least a Western Conference caliber team. ”
Before the start of the game, McBrin said: "Los Angeles has been overperforming this year, and the trade of Lamar Odom to bring the Little Tiger out of the Portland prison will be the masterpiece of Kupchak's career." They had an immediate effect, and while the Portlanders have been emphasizing win-win, I really don't see what they're getting out of the deal, a couple of expiring contracts?"
"What if they can pick the No. 1 pick and sign Greg Oden?" said Reggie Miller, a deafening name.
The name swept across the United States in March, and although he has not officially joined the professional basketball scene, some have already called him a rare superpower center in the United States in 50 years. And, think that once he enters the alliance, he will change the league pattern. And ESPN has unabashedly called him a combination of a shark and a stone Buddha. The worst and worst lower bound is also Mutombo.
If Portland can get the unborn center, then... Naturally, the world will forget that they sent the tiger cub away.
After all, the dominant center is always a nuclear weapon, while a good defender is like a carp crossing the river...... The NBA has never lacked star guards.
"No, even if they pick Greg Oden, I think they're losing. Special guest Lakers Magic Johnson said firmly: "This is a deal that can be compared to trading Divac for Kobe Bryant, the little tiger has the potential to become a super guard, remember, I'm not talking about star guards, I'm not talking about first-class guards, I'm talking about super guards." Or... I can go one step further, he has all the prerequisites to become a historic defender. ”
The magician has a very high evaluation of Little Tiger: "Because he has too strong commercial attributes, too much lace news, and even he is not a complete professional player, everyone ignores his growth rate in the past two years." ”
"When he first entered the league, everyone thought that he was a parallel commodity and did not deserve the fifth pick. And now people are talking about more things is... Who is the strongest in the class of '05, he or Chris Paul. Moreover, there is a consensus on placing him in the top 25 of the league. ”
The magician wrenched his fingers and said slowly: "Two years later, maybe he will be the No. 1 point guard in the league." By that time, it won't be a surprise that he's in the league's top 10. ”
He has a lot of faith in the little tiger.
"After getting into the top 25 of the league, every step is difficult. Reggie Miller shook his head: "I think that the little tiger has been extremely poor all his life, and it is already the limit to be able to reach the top 15." ”
He felt that the Magic was too optimistic about the Lakers' boys.
Drip!
The whistle blew during the conversation and the game officially began.
The Jazz are strong, and the starting five are: Memetoku, Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko, Derek Fisher, and Deron Williams.
They used a two-point guard lineup.
The Lakers' starters are decent, and the Little Tiger and Black Mamba are two guards who can't be beaten. The small forward became Luke Wharton, the power forward was Ratliff, and the center was Kwame Brown.
As the referee threw the basketball into the air, Kwame Brown bounced violently, soaring into the sky with the grace of knowing the little tiger...... He slammed the ball at the tiger cub at the height of more than half a palm.
The little tiger controls the basketball and gallops out of the level at great speed, and Deron Williams is in hot pursuit. The two men went one after the other to the three-point line, and Kirilenko quickly moved laterally...... He is a defensive stalwart and is considered the only all-round wizard in the active squad who can play 5*5 stats.
When the Russian Kirilenko opened his arms, the little tiger suddenly felt like covering the sky and the sun.
Seeing that the two people in front of him and behind him were about to encircle and annihilate themselves, the little tiger had a flash of inspiration and suddenly stopped suddenly.
Taking advantage of the two people's lack of reaction, one hit the ground and passed the basketball to Kobe Bryant on the side.
The black mamba received the basketball, Kirilenko hurriedly ran over to make up for the defense, and the little tiger was not in a hurry, turned around and cut to the penalty area.
Kobe Bryant took a feint step and suddenly hoisted the basketball into the box.
Kirilenko was still lamenting how the shooting arc of the black mamba was so usual, and the little tiger was already soaring into the sky in the penalty area, and he grabbed the basketball with one hand and pressed it to the basket fiercely...... Oku tried to make up the defense, but it was too late...... Kwame Brown plays the role of a tenacious meat shield!
Rumble!
The Little Tiger took the lead in the Utah restricted area.
Such a juggling dunk made Sloan jump to his feet and curse, he couldn't stand this frivolous offense, he couldn't stand the defensive performance of his teammates.
He called a timeout, even though it had just kicked off.
In his eyes, basketball has never been an art, basketball is a war.
How can you let your opponent walk into the three-second zone like a backyard and then catch a dunk empty?
