Chapter 427: Winning Wildly in the Salute

Sloan, accompanied by Stockton and Malone, arrived early at the Energy Solutions Center in Salt Lake City, where the seats were steeper than the rest of the arena to allow fans to better gather their voices on the court. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sloan, accompanied by the two of them, stood in the stands on the top floor, and as he used to do before the start of every game, he would stand on the top stands overlooking the arena.

The difference is that the once sturdy guy now has to be supported by others to stand here.

The three of them stood there for a long time, without speaking, until a fan entered the stadium and they did not leave.

Chen Mo's mood seems a little heavy today, he is sick like a mountain, he can't accept it, he is a sentimental person.

Before the start of the game, the commentator at the scene shouted Jerry Sloan's name first, and then all the spectators began to cheer for the old man.

"This is the loudest cheer I can remember at the Delta Center. Malone said.

"He deserves it. "Also, it's now called the Energy Solutions Center," Stockton said. ”

"It's better to call the Delta Center. Sloan said.

The three of them sat in the front row of the court and did not choose a box.

The game is on, and there aren't many traces of Sloan left on this Jazz team. Some say they lost Sloane's most valuable asset to the Utah Jazz: tenacity. In fact, Sloan came here tonight to watch Chen Mo play.

"This kid is the most talented player I've ever seen. "His shooting, his playmaking and his understanding of basketball are ahead of his time," Sloan said. Of course, it could also be that I am too old to keep up with the times. ”

"You taught him how to defend!" Malone looked at Stockton.

At this point, Chen Mo faced Monta-Ellis' attack at the top of the arc, and he stretched out his leg to jam the opponent's breakaway, and then there was a slight push movement on his hand. This is Chen Mo's modified defensive technique, but he can still see Stockton's routine.

"The only thing I could teach him was defensive, and he was already better than me in the rest of the world. Stockton said.

Ellis couldn't break through Chen's defense, and he gave the ball to Jefferson.

Biedrins chose a great position, Jefferson couldn't find a direct chance to hit the basket, but he didn't pass the ball again, he chose to play himself.

Jefferson hit a rebound in the low post and the ball swung out of the basket.

Kirilenko grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo took the ball and slowly advanced to the opposite half.

The Warriors weren't prepared to play fast in this game, and the plateau of Salt Lake City was an accelerated drain on their physical strength, and there was no need to play the game too fast when the strength was overwhelming the opponent.

After coming to the frontcourt, Chen Mo asked Millsap to come out to block and dismantle, Chen Mo handed over the ball to Millsap, and Curry came around to cover Chen Mo without the ball.

Millsap gave the ball to Chen, who cut into the baseline after covering, and Curry stood at a 30-degree angle from the three-point line on the right. Biedrins pulls outside to make room for the basket, and Millsap forces a cut inside.

Chen Mo made the ball behind his back, and after Millsap took the ball, he forcibly knocked Jefferson away, threw the board, and sent the ball into the basket.

The whole stadium was cheering, and the three of them were applauding.

The Warriors' offense this time is not the Warriors' regular style of play, the Warriors will generally use one more pick-and-roll, speed up the screen and cut rate, and ultimately will not let Millsap force the basket in a one-on-one situation, they will increase the number of passes to create the most advantageous situation.

Their purpose in playing this is actually to pay tribute to Sloan on the sidelines.

Old fans who are used to calling this arena Delta Arena have seen the cooperation of the Warriors just now, if Chen Mo becomes Stockton, Curry becomes Hornacek, and Millsap becomes Malone, this is the Jazz team that has twice challenged the god of basketball in the Finals.

The Warriors have the configuration and tactical foundation to restore their style of play, so under the command of Chen Mo, the Warriors used this offensive coordination to play their first offense of the night.

It was probably the most cheering from a Salt Lake City fan when an opponent scored.

Probably because the home fans cheered too much for the away team, the home team seemed a little lost.

Monta Ellis started a wave shooting pattern, and he missed three consecutive shots, while the opposite Warriors were solid in the positional battle, scoring all four of the opening four offenses. An 8-0 start left the home team a little embarrassed.

"The Warriors' cooperation is fantastic, and Chen Mo's attainments at the point guard position have reached the top, even in NBA history. ”

Today's game was not a nationally streamed match in the United States, but CCAV chose to broadcast the game live. Zhang Li is doing technical analysis.

"He can be fast and slow, he can go in and out, the control of the rhythm is extremely exquisite, and the most important thing is that his style of play is effortless, and the burden on the body is very small, which can make him more durable. ”

Some people say that there is ambiguity in what Director Zhang said in this paragraph, but it seems that it is indeed Chen Mo's technical characteristics.

The Jazz had to call a timeout, and if they continued to play like this, the game could be a mess.

However, the Jazz didn't last long, and they quickly collapsed under the Warriors' intense pressure.

Sloan sat on the sidelines tonight, and Chen Moyou wanted Sloan to see a more perfect game, because he was very focused. So much so that the Jazz quickly collapsed when he handed out 11 assists in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, when Chen Mo came on the court, the Warriors had already taken a 49-31 lead, and Chen Mo immediately decided to play a wave of fast breaks.

"Now we have to play faster. Chen Mo took off his training clothes to ensure body heat, and said to his teammates: "It's time for us to fly, let's go and finish the race." ”

Only the Warriors have the confidence to shout to end the game in the first half.

The game restarted with the Warriors putting on a small lineup. This time they added Klay Thompson to the small lineup, so that the lineup looked smaller.

Chen Mo, Curry, Thompson, Millsap, and Kirilenko have a smaller, but faster, lineup.

As soon as Chen Mo received the ball, Kirilenko's block followed. Even in the half-court positional offense, the Warriors are looking for faster screen speed. In order to use the speed to collapse the opposite side in a small area.

After the cover, Chen Mo faced Jefferson. Jefferson wanted to use his defensive range to prevent Chen Mo from breaking through, he knew that the time it took for Chen Mo to burst into a big man in a misplaced situation was very short, but he also felt that he could block Chen Mo, even if it was only one second, it was enough for the Jazz's defensive rotation behind, after all, the height of the Warriors' lineup was their biggest weakness.

Chen Mo's hands are like the propellers of a helicopter, the ball is constantly swinging between his hands, and fans can hardly see the trajectory of the ball in Chen Mo's hands. I just think it's very flowery, but I really can't see it clearly.

Chen Mo rushed over in an instant, and then Jefferson's center of gravity was still in the other direction, and he didn't break it at all.

Hayward made up the defense, and Chen Mo passed the ball directly backwards. That's Curry coming around to this position to catch the ball.

Kirilenko, who had just blocked Chen Mo, just gave Curry another block, and Curry took the ball and dribbled to the left opposite to Chen Mo's run. When the two of them formed a diagonal line, he returned the ball to the top of the arc where he had blocked with Kirilenko.

By this time, Kirilenko had already cut inside quickly along the middle, and it was Millsap who came out to catch the ball. Chen Mo attracted the defense of Ellis and Hayward, and the entire Jazz defense was completely chaotic.

When the Warriors' four three-point players are outside the three-point line, and Chen Mo also attracts two defenders in the bottom right corner, they will inevitably miss one.

Thompson was leaked at a 45-degree angle on the left, Millsap sent the ball over, Thompson took the ball and threw it, his hand was up and down, and the ball fell into the net crisply.

The Jazz offense, Jefferson wanted to bully the height of the Warriors' on-court lineup, but the Warriors' use of defensive super-speed on the defensive end made Jefferson's idea come to naught.

Curry slices Jefferson's ball away, and the Warriors rush to the counter.

Chen Mo made a shooting feint after half court after receiving Curry's pass, and he made a wide range of pass transfers when he jumped.

Thompson in the bottom corner took the ball, Hayward flew over, and Thompson moved the ball to the middle. Millsap, who followed up, was unceremonious and directly attacked the basket with three steps.

The man who ran after Millsap was Tinsley, and such a height difference made Millsap effortlessly complete the windmill dunk with both hands.

Sloan applauded on the sidelines, this kind of offense he was too familiar with, last season in the Bobcats, Chen Mo re-appeared in the second quarter, and the Bobcats will inevitably set off a wave of rapid small ball storms.

The Warriors rarely play small-ball lineups in the second quarter these days, and they do so in the final minutes of the third quarter at most, because they don't need to rely on small-ball lineups as lethal weapons now.

Chen Mo showed better control than last season, and the Warriors' roster was a little stronger, so that the Warriors could gain a big advantage in positional battles. Naturally, they will not choose to consume too much small-ball play, and the main reason why the Warriors chose to play a small-ball storm in the second quarter today may be Chen Mo paying tribute to Sloan.

The Warriors went on a 30-9 spurt of six minutes in the second quarter, and the Jazz were completely destroyed.

Chen Mo hugged Sloan on the sidelines at halftime, and all the fans at the Energy Solution Center stood up and failed. Then, soon the whole arena began to shout in unison, "Thank you, Jerry!"

After Chen Mo and Malone and Stockton next to him embraced, a reporter next to him wanted to pull Chen Mo to do a half-time interview.

Generally speaking, halftime interviews are done with players from the home team, but today's relationship between Chen Mo and Sloan is not ordinary, and the Warriors also have two former Sloanes' favorite generals, so it is most suitable for Chen Mo to do this interview.

"Jerry is a good coach, he's an NBA legend. Chen Mo did not hesitate to praise himself, "Yes, you would never think that a coach can coach a team for 23 years." ”

"No one in the world's top sports leagues has surpassed this record. There may be a chance to beat him, but no one has been in charge of a team longer than him. ”

"He is an admirable person and I have had a great time working with him. I'm looking forward to working with him again if I can. ”

"No matter what team you are, there are a lot of times when you can't make a choice for your next destination. ”

Chen Mo was briefly interviewed by reporters, and on the other side, there was a Jazz player walking extremely slowly in the players' tunnel, and he seemed to be thinking about life.

Monta-Ellis's heart at the moment tasted like the water in the Great Salt Lake, bitter and bitter.

If he stays with the Golden State Warriors this season, maybe his stats will be better than they are now, and he can still play a higher price while picking up a championship for nothing.

Now Ellis has decided that the Warriors are going to win the championship this season, and in fact many people think so. Except for Miami and Los Angeles, they are all people who have found a way to deal with Chen Mo.

The second half of the game was almost meaningless, and the Jazz had no hope of a comeback.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Jazz 141-104.

In the second half, the Jazz never had any momentum on the counter-attack, and they were blinded by the Warriors as early as the first half.

"Six minutes of 30-9 is terrifying, but it's too bad to give up resistance. Sloan left with a few words, and left with the help of Malone and Stockton.

Chen Mo and a few of them exchanged a few words in the players' tunnel, and they didn't mean to go out for a supper together and catch up on the old days. Sloan had to go back to rest, and if he didn't sleep after that point, he wouldn't want to fall asleep for the rest of the night.

Kirilenko and Millsap went to the restaurant they used to frequented after the game and sat down for a while after the game, and they only ordered a glass of milk. Feeling nostalgic for the past, they then took the team's bus to the airport, where they rushed back to Auckland overnight.

A day later, they will host the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves have a 22-24 record this season, a nearly 50 percent win percentage, but they can only finish 10th in the West, and making the playoffs is their goal, but they are destined to add another loss on this night.

Love is the leader of this era, and his stats are great every night, but no amount of beautiful stats can bring victory to the team.

What's more, tonight at the Oracle Arena, it seems that the air slash group leader doesn't even have a chance to slash empty.

His hand tonight was surprisingly poor, hitting all seven of his first seven shots, and the Warriors took a 13-point lead.

Then the Warriors' advantage grew, Chen Mo and Curry teamed up to score 57 points, and the Timberwolves did not resist until the fourth quarter before surrendering.

After Chen Mo and Curry rested for the entire fourth quarter, the Warriors were about to embark on their journey again. Next up is a back-to-back away game against the Pelicans and Rockets.
