Chapter 61: Bless Me

The Utah Jazz have been menacing this year, and if it weren't for the Lakers' shocking eight-eight in the first round of the playoffs, perhaps their counterattack would have received more attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They lost two games in a row in Houston, and at the time everyone thought they were going to be finished, and they would definitely die under Yao Mai, and maybe even be swept away. However, the result was that they took four cities in a row and wiped out the rockets with a meat grinder-like defense...... Jeff Van Gundy, who is known for his defense, was defeated across the board.

In addition to their strength on the defensive end, they have also upgraded on the offensive end this year. Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer plus center Oku, their triad of offensive chains almost cut through the Rockets' defense. Plus on the bench Derrick Fisher, Ronnie Brewer, Harprin, Girisek, Millsap and other elite soldiers. Their bench depth is impressive.

"In contrast, Utah's advantages are even more obvious. But who knows? The Purple and Gold are so variable, no one knows in which game the Black Mamba will suddenly score 80 points, and no one knows if the little tiger will go crazy again and tear apart the opponent with a sharp rhythm. ”

McBrin said conservatively about the Western Conference semifinals: "But... In any case, it will be a thrilling semi-final. ”

Based on the strong performance of the Purple and Gold in the first round, even though everyone now thinks that the Utah Jazz have a greater advantage, no one dares to say it conclusively... The Lakers will definitely be beaten.

After all... Basketball experts and commentators are also responsible for their words and actions. If you always misestimate it, you will quickly lose attention.

Bill Wharton has confirmed that he will not be commentating on the Jazz-Lakers game again, and Magic Johnson has been invited to the ESPN commentary podium, for which... ESPN will pay an additional nearly $500,000 in addition.

Such a move announced that the relationship between ESPN and Little Tiger is rapidly moving towards a period of relaxation, and the head of ESG has sent three emails to Lin Wanwan in a row.

But Lin Wanwan was still waiting, she didn't forgive others for their bad mistakes casually.

"The Tigers vs. Deron Williams matchup is going to be interesting."

This is already a foregone conclusion.

After a disappointing rookie season, Deron Williams entered the spring of his second year of career, averaging 19.6 points and 8.8 assists per game in the regular season elevating him to the ranks of first-class point guards. In the first round of the playoffs just past, he scored 22.5 points and 11.5 assists as a top point guard, and Carlos Boozer has become the second generation of Utah under Sloan!

However, he has always seemed to have a hard time stealing the light from Chris Paul and the little tigers. In the regular season data, Chris Paul is more beautiful than him, and the little tiger is not far behind. Although Chris Paul did not bring the Hornets into the playoffs, the Little Tiger averaged 26.5 points, 12.9 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game in the first round of the playoffs and directed the Black Eight Miracle himself, which made his stats dim.

"We are friends and we sometimes contact by phone. We agree on a lot of issues, but of course, we never talk about the emotional side of things. You know... I am a conservative man. In an interview with ESPN, Deron Williams said with a smile: "In this regard, there is a difference of 500 Chris Paul between me and him. ”

The three point guards in the class of '05 all had good personal relationships, and it was difficult for the media to create any conflict from them.

Carlos Boozer, however, is a big mouth.

In the showdown with the rocket, the Chinese media had a great deal with him. Because he is often in opposition to Yao Shu... As a mobile projection power forward, Yao Shu's defense is difficult to defend, making him average 26.8 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, which made him raise his eyebrows and choke in front of the Chinese media for a while.

As a result, Chinese fans were very upset to see him, and all the Chinese reporters flocked to Salt Lake City with overtly aggressive questions.

On this premise, Carlos Boozer made a lot of nonsense.

"I don't care about the Great Wall of China, or the Hollywood tiger. No matter how much you brag about them, it won't affect me. I'm just going to win game after game. Victory never lies!! ”

"Don't stress how amazing the Lakers' Black Eight is. If the Dallas were up against the Utah Jazz, they would have been killed as well. This is a pointless question. ”

"You can call me arrogant, but the truth is, I don't need to look at anyone's face. Listen, I repeat, victory does not lie!! ”

Carlos Boozer confronts the Chinese media from above.

This made the Chinese fans, who were already angered by him, even more indignant, and the strong national pride prompted, which made them feel like they hated Carlos Boozer.

As a result, the little tiger became their hope for revenge. Driven by indignation, they all hoped that the little tiger would be able to slash this fang and be ashamed.

Little Tiger didn't know that he suddenly carried so much hope.

He wasn't a sensitive person, and he didn't find Carlos' remarks so bad. He just thinks... The person who has an opinion about him should be a Dallasian.

"Of course, victory doesn't lie."

Little Tiger was interviewed by Slam Dunk Magazine before the game, and when he appeared at the Salt Lake City arena with blue and purple eyes, a large crowd of reporters flocked to him. But he just called the editor-in-chief of Slam Dunk magazine to the small house and went for a separate interview.

Little Tiger's team never hides their preferences, they are only willing to deal with friendly people.

This made the sideline reporter of ESPN vomit bitterly, he believes that he has never offended Little Tiger, but he has never obtained first-hand information from him. Right now... Even the Black Mamba will not accept his visit...... It's a disaster.

"I can't explain to you the ways we won, I can only tell you that we are not as far apart from Salt Lake City as the outside world has advertised. It's my first time making the playoffs and I hope to go further. While Black Eight is already a remarkable achievement, the... You know, I never sleep on the glory of the past. ”

"DeLong is a good opponent. I'm sure I'm going to be playing more at point guard in this series, so we should be going to have a lot of interesting sparks. And, I have to say, I'll shoot more. Maybe one night, I'll score 50 points. ”

"Coach Sloan is a very professional and very literate academic, and his coaching art is time-tested, and I respect him. But the best way to honor him is to defeat him. ”

"Oh, man. Spare me. I don't want to talk about that news. When the season is officially over, I'll make my statement. Right now... It's not like that's the time. ”

"Bless me. It's going to be a more fun series!! ”
