Warriors fans who watched the game on TV were disappointed to find that without Jackson and Margety, the Warriors had no advantage over the lineup of the top teams. There was a certain amount of chance that they won three in a row, and the Thunder and Timberwolves were too bad.

Encountering the Jazz, the originator of the blocking, the two stars of the Warriors took a break together, and they couldn't make a move when they were trapped.

In the second quarter, the Jazz adjusted the lineup, Millsap continued to stay on the court, and the center used rookie Costa? Kufus replaces Oku, Kirilenko continues to play small forward, and shooting guard goes up to pitcher Keller? Korver, point guard is veteran Blevin? Knight.

Knight was old enough to retire, but he wanted a championship ring, so he took a veteran base salary to join the Jazz, who lacked a point guard. However, judging from the current situation in the west, he is going to be disappointed. And his various statistics have also hit a new career low, and he can't keep up with the pace of the NBA.

Nelson Sr. didn't want to give up the game too early, so Zhou Xuan continued to play as a double guard, and the inside Turyaf and Anthony? Randolph partnered, and the small forward went on Morrow.

Zhou Xuan relied on speed to single Knight to break through in a row, attracting the bag and defending and then splitting the ball, but Watson felt too bad today, I don't know if it was affected by the atmosphere of the devil's home court, and several empty shots hit the iron. Fortunately, Morrow stepped up and hit two three-pointers, and Randolph Jr. also scored two in the low post.

The Jazz switched to Knight and Millsap's pick-and-roll, and their power plummeted. Korver and Kirilenko are also not good players with the ball, while Koufus is blue-collar. The Jazz's offense went awry, and the Warriors quickly narrowed the gap to six points.

Jazz assistant coach Ty? Seeing Sloane watching the game with relish, Corbin didn't have the slightest intention of adjusting, and reminded: "Jerry, do you want to make a substitution?" I think they're catching up. ”

"No, the Warriors are terrible defensively, as long as the main lineup is up, they will definitely not be able to withstand it. Zhou Xuan is indeed not simple, he is a very suitable player for blocking and dismantling, even if he can't shoot inside, he has a way to create opportunities, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to such a talent in the second round. ”

Sloan likes guards who can play pick-and-roll, and he knows the Warriors' weaknesses, so he is not in a hurry to make substitutions and let the players adjust freely on the court.

Millsap and Knight wrapped Zhou Xuan, making it impossible for him to break through easily, the ball passed out of the line, Watson couldn't move the ball to the open space, and the Jazz blocked two attacks from the Warriors.

And the Jazz offense, Kirilenko misplaced and beat Morrow twice, which widened the score again, and the old Nelson had to be replaced, and Azubuke replaced Watson.

The Jazz scored off the bench, Delon and his teammates applauded excitedly on the sidelines, Zhou Xuan felt a little angry, but he really had nothing to do with the current Jazz.

Laugh, be happy now, wait for Jackson and Margety to come back, and don't blow you up into a sieve! Zhou Xuan believes that if those two are there, the Jazz defense will never be so easy, and the offense will be blocked.

Zack? After Randolph came on the court, he hit Millsap twice in a row, and the Jazz hurriedly replaced Oku and Brewer to limit him, Millsap went down, and Kirilenko took the No. 4 position. After this substitution, it was even more difficult for Zhou Xuan to break through. Kirilenko is known for his defense and well-roundedness, especially on the perimeter, and once came close to hitting a five-double.

There was an attack on Zhou Xuan who felt that he had passed Kirilenko, but Kirilenko jumped up from the back of his head and blocked it, and he knocked the ball down, Zhou Xuan lost his balance and fell heavily.

After that attack, Zhou Xuan was under pressure after passing and making a stop-and-go jump shot. If it was from the side, he could see with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and when he came up from behind, he didn't have eyes on the back of his head.

Ordinary people don't defend in this way, only people like Kirilenko with tall arms and outstanding bounce can do it, not to mention Zhou Xuan, when he played the Rockets in the playoffs, Yao Ming also suffered from Kirilenko's assistant defense hat, he won the block king back then, and the block statistics for many seasons are among the best.

With a big lead, Delong got proud and played more easily. As long as they break through by blocking and dismantling, Randolph and Biedrins are easy to be shaken off, Delong can shoot in a row, Zhou Xuan can't stand it, and takes the initiative to change to mixed defense to defend Delong, but Delong uses his physical advantage to rely on Zhou Xuan to play, not seeking a breakthrough, just going deep into the basket, to a place close to the basket, Delong is singled with his back, and can press Zhou Xuan to shoot.

At the guard position, Delon is perhaps the most physically fit of a pure point guard. He mainly assists, but when there is a clear mismatch opportunity, he can also eat the opponent with his back.

Zhou Xuan has defended a lot of No. 2 positions and swing people, and Delong's strength is definitely at that level, and he is outstanding in point guards. Every time the Jazz plays the Hornets, Delon can almost have the upper hand in the confrontation with Paul, relying on his excellent physical advantage, so many people feel that Delon is the strongest guard of the new generation.

At 47-66, the Warriors trailed by 19 points to end the first half, and they must have to let their opponents score more than 100 points.

During the break, Old Nelson found Zhou Xuan and asked, "How do you feel physically strong?" If you're tired, I'll let you rest a little longer and fight for the next one. ”

Zhou Xuan played the whole first half, and the old Nelson rarely arranged his playing time like this, in order to see how he and Delong could play.

If it were another player, they would have replied with something like "I'm not tired, I'm going to stay the course" to please the coach. Zhou Xuan and Old Nelson have been together for a while, but they know very well what the old man is thinking. He asked him about his physical strength at this time, and he really wanted to give up this one and fight the next one.

Against a defender of Delong's size, Zhou Xuan's physical strength also decreased very quickly, and he was really tired. He asked, "Coach, what if I come up to rest in the third quarter and the score is pulled apart?" Is there any way to catch up? ”

Old Nelson said lightly: "The Jazz's defense is very layered, which Boozer did not have when he was on the court, they are a mature strong team, and most of us are newcomers, still in the run-in period, whether we can win or not depends on you and Randolph, today Zach played high and low, it is difficult for us to win." You take a break at the beginning of the third quarter, and if the margin closes, I'll play you again. ”

"Okay."

Zhou Xuan thought to himself that if Delong continued to play, it was estimated that the score would be widened. He also spotted Delon's weaknesses, but couldn't catch them because the team's overall defense was so poor.

Zhou Xuan felt that Delong was inferior to himself in two points, one was to prevent breakthroughs, and the other was to pass the ball. DeLong relies too much on blocking and dismantling tactics, and there is a lack of change in the style of play in each round, and some gaps come out, and Delong can't find it, and his assists are mostly passing the ball to the inside teammates who pull out the ball after blocking and dismantling, or he is attacking and breaking through himself, attracting the ball after the defense, rather than watching his teammates run and see the seams. If you change the system, there are fewer pitchers, and only one big man can shoot, Delon's assist statistics may drop a little.

If DeLong plays a team without a good interior line, it can basically be effective, but when it comes to the Celtics' Garnett, the Spurs Duncan, the Lakers Gasol, Odom, and even the Nuggets' Martin and Nene, it is difficult to have an advantage at all, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a single action. Of course, Delong's ability to do it alone is also very strong, but not to the point of being incomprehensible.

In the third quarter, Delon continued to play, Millsap also played, and the Jazz played a wave of 11-2 to continue to widen the score. In the frantic cheers of the home fans, Watson was completely lost, couldn't find the crosshairs for his shot, and burst in and received two big hats.

On the Jazz side, Okulian hit two three-pointers. Among the big players who are over 210cm tall, except for Nowitzki and Murphy, it is difficult to find Bioku shooting accurately, and he shoots more than 40% from three-point range.

Warriors Randolph couldn't defend the pick-and-roll, Bidrins wanted to grab the rebound, shrank inside and didn't want to go out, giving Oku a good space to play, and the score was stretched to 28 points.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Xuan is on or not, if you want to recover such a big point difference, you must have a tough defense, which is something they have not been able to do before, even if Jackson is here, it is just a better defense on the outside.

Nelson Sr. still replaced Zhou Xuan after playing 5 and a half minutes in the third quarter, and he didn't want the Warriors to lose too ugly.

Zhou Xuan and Randolph are also plagued by packing, Zhou Xuan can pass the ball to his teammates in the open space on the perimeter, and Azubuike has shot 41 three-pointers this year. 7 percent is good, and today he became the team's main point of attack, shooting three three-pointers in a single quarter.

Biedrins grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the quarter, scored two offensive shots, and scored a double-double. I don't know if you look at the data and think that he is the most fierce, but in fact, he is now more like an inside cancer, ignoring the most important thing to do on the field.

At the end of the third quarter, 69-95, the Warriors trailed by 26 points, and the elder Nelson replaced the main force and gave up the game early.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors played more aggressively off the bench, DeMarcus? Nelson and Hendricks both got the opportunity to play and fought hard, but neither of them was good at attacking, and even if they worked hard, they were not powerful. The non-guaranteed contract has reached its final deadline, and the coaching staff has made a decision, and this is the last game they will play for the Warriors. If it weren't for the lack of major generals in the team, they would have been laid off long ago.

Nelson's style is a bit like Stroberg, where the No. 1 position doesn't play and the No. 2 doesn't shoot well. Hendricks is just good in physical fitness and outstanding athleticism, but he doesn't know what he does at all, and at 203CM tall, he can only play the No. 4 position, and he can't shoot, and his offensive ability is negligible.

94-119, the Warriors lost by a big score.

Delong after the game? Williams was named the best player, playing just 30 minutes and finishing with 21 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals. Millsap always had easy shots, finishing with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Zhou Xuan was trapped throughout the game, only scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists. Randolph's 12 points and 11 rebounds were also out of sorts.

After the game, some media said that Zhou Xuan was completely blown up by Delong, and Zhou Xuan laughed it off. It doesn't matter what he says, the problem is that the team lineup must be adjusted, and the current defense, the stronger offensive team can win them.
