Zhou Xuan went off the break in the second quarter as usual.

ESPN "Magic" Johnson said: "What the Jazz are most afraid of now is that Zhou Xuan and Ellis are on the court together, Zhou Xuan is resting, and the Jazz still have a chance to fight, but they rely too much on DeLong on the periphery." ”

Van Gundy said: "Without a fast guard, the Jazz can't make up for this shortcoming, DeLong continues to stay on the court today, the key is to see if this period can withstand it, if the score is pulled away again, it may become the rhythm of the first two games." ”

Warriors outside Ellis, Morrow, Azubuuk, inside Turiaf, Margety.

After entering the playoffs, Anthony? Randolph, Wright, Dolby and others have played less minutes. Nelson Sr. didn't want to give them a chance when the score wasn't stretching out. Keep at least three pitchers on the field to open up space. Jazz can't compare to that alone.

The Jazz had to switch to Collins in the previous two games, and today they simply didn't let him play, with Millsap and Kirilenko on the inside, and Korver, Myers, and Delon on on the periphery.

Sloan believes that this game is very crucial, if he can fight it, at least not be swept out of the game, save some face, if this game is lost again, the psychological pressure of the Jazz players in the next game will be much greater, even if there is a home court advantage, it will be difficult to win. At least the momentum of the game is still there.

The home fans cheered desperately, Kirilenko made a wive. Boozer went to cover on the perimeter, Margeti changed defenses, and Kirilenko could play Turyaf with a misplaced frame, or he could cover Miles and Korwall.

Korver was silent for two games, and today the perimeter finally found his senses, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and the opposite of the Jazz situation, it was Moreau and Azubuike who didn't shoot accurately, and Moreau also missed a simple open shot.

Unlike Zhou Xuan's fearlessness, in the face of the Jazz's home atmosphere, Morrow was affected, and he couldn't let go of his actions, and Azubuke was also at a time when he was not at hand, and he couldn't be expected to score more than 10 points every game and play on the court.

The Jazz chased the score back. After that, both sides changed to the strongest lineup, and the game was difficult to solve, and the score difference was always within 4 points, and there were several draws.

Zhou Xuan organized well after coming on the court, but his teammates didn't feel good about shooting, especially Jackson, who shot 0 of 6 in the half and only scored two points on free throws. Marion also did not play well under Kirilenko's defense. The weaknesses of both sides are the same, and both are compensated for with compression defence.

Zhou Xuan scored 12 points in the half, hit a three-pointer, and was the only person on the team to score a double-double, and Randolph was also prevented.

The Jazz did get some preferential treatment at home, and they have long understood how to challenge the referee's blowing scale, and the interior defense is much tougher, pushing people and elbowing them at all. The referee didn't dare to blow it casually, otherwise he would wait to be booed by the fans, which is the same at the Warriors' home court.

In the third quarter, Zhou Xuan and Ellis did not play their due role in the backcourt. In order to defend in place, Delon began to shoot three-pointers from the perimeter again like in the last game, and Brewer stepped up the breakaway and targeted the Warriors' weaknesses.

Ellis is not afraid of a break-through player, but Brewer is a strong swing man, he does not change his way when he breaks through, and he goes to close Brewer like an ordinary defender, isn't this just looking for abuse? Later, Zhou Xuan saw that something was wrong and took the initiative to defend Brewer, and DeLong let Boozer single Ellis in the blocking.

Ellis is not strong in power, and he does not know how to use it, and has been successfully cut by Boozer several times, Jackson and Marion have also wasted a lot of effort to fill in the position, and after the vacancy, he was shot by Korver and Myers for three points.

The Warriors still can't find the feel of the outside, the more they can't shoot, the more the Jazz shrinks, this is a vicious circle, and Zhou Xuan's method of single-handing Boozer in the first quarter can't be used.

Ellis didn't care if there was anyone in front of him in the fast break, several people were on it, and it wasn't very efficient, and Nelson Sr. was forced to adjust and replace him.

With four minutes to play in the fourth quarter, the Warriors trailed by as many as 13 points, and seeing that this game could be lost, Nelson Sr. asked for a timeout.

"Break in, make fouls if you can't score, don't shoot easily on the periphery, you can grab three points when you're fast, and the shooting percentage is higher, at least it's better to grab rebounds. Don't play like that again, we have to try to sweep so that we can have an advantage in the next game. Old Nelson exclaimed.

Jazz coach Sloan said: "Good job, you have to guard against pick-and-roll, if they let Ellis go up again, Ronnie [Brewer] has to be bold and fast-breaking, you have a physical advantage against Ellis." When facing Zhou Xuan, he has to be bold in his position, although he follows closely, he is the shortest on the field, don't be afraid of him. ”

CCTV5 Zhang was reasonably worried: "Today, the Jazz's defensive intensity has come out, allowing us to see the shadow of that iron army, and the Warriors must have someone who can stand up and score." Like last season, when the Lakers couldn't open it, they handed it over to Kobe Bryant, and the average strength of these scorers of the Warriors is not bad, but someone has to score at critical moments, and that is a superstar. ”

Yu Jia said: "The Jazz's home court is really terrible, last season the Lakers lost two away games in a row, and there was a game where Kobe Bryant shot 5 of 24, and it is not easy to score high points here." It was precisely because Maddy scored 40 points that the Rockets continued to believe in him and did not trade with the Pistons, but they didn't even make the playoffs this season. I think the Warriors should consider playing Randolph a little more. ”

Zhou Xuan listened to the old Nelson talk about tactics, and he was also thinking about how to break the Jazz's joint defense, the best way to break is three points, but today the three points are not accurate.

It's okay to break in and make fouls and make kills, but under the home whistle, no one in the Jazz has fouled too much. The interior defense moves a lot and doesn't blow fouls, which is very invincible. In the last game, he relied on the body contact after the breakthrough to beat Delong, both of which were very beautiful, and today there is this kind of body contact, and the referee doesn't care at all. And DeLong broke through like this, and he was going to blow the Warriors for fouls.

The home whistle is something that people love and hate. You can't express your displeasure yet, and no matter how bad a team is, there are times when it makes a home profit, as long as it's not an out-of-playoff team that meets a league's favorite superstar.

If the old Nelson was the previous style, he would definitely let Ellis and Zhou Xuan speed up the pace and fight the offense together, but he thought of several reversals this season, all of which were won by fighting defense, and he had a new idea.

He opted for stability, put Ellis on the bench, replaced Azubuike, who defended better, and even Margeti. Margeti is a punchy player, but he's a bit more unique and likes to play with the ball, unlike Marion, who prefers to cut through the air. Small forward on Jackson, although Jackson is average offensively today, the defense is still very hard. The big forward is Marion, and the center is Turiaf.

Randolph was all rested, proving how thoroughly Nelson Sr. defended defensively. This is the strongest defensive lineup the Warriors have. Today, Randolph was compressed many times in the low post and the defensive package was not high. The Warriors need a man to sit in the low post and involve defense, and Turiaf is enough.

The Jazz were also desperate, sending Boozer, Millsap, Kirilenko, Brewer, Delon. DeLong played almost the whole game.

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half court, and a wave of Turyaf blocked and dismantled.

How to fight him has long been figured out, the person who changed the defense is Kirilenko, which is a good move, Millsap went out to defend against Marion, who is not good at attacking with the ball, but the weakness is also obvious, that is, Boozer is responsible for defending Jackson.

Zhou Xuan walked to the right with the ball, crossed steps and opened up close range with Kirilenko. The Jazz felt that Jackson didn't feel good today, so they let Boozer defend.

Replaced by an ordinary point guard, he was sandwiched by Delon and Kirilenko, and I really don't know what to do. Zhou Xuan's mind was extremely clear, he took it to the side, Kirilenko didn't dare to defend too far away, Delong bypassed the cover and quickly caught up, Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to break through, and the dribble behind his back changed to the middle lane, at this time, Turyav cut to the inside line and resisted Kirilenko with his body.

Kirilenko's position is actually only small forward, and if he plays power forward, he will be like the Pistons' Prince, unless the opponent is someone like Marion. Zhou Xuan passed the ball in, and Turiaf went directly to the basket. Turn around and shoot the basketball in. 69 to 80.

The Jazz offense, the Warriors' compression defense was more thorough, the Jazz periphery was guided several times, Deron jumped out of the way, and Jackson won the rebound. Zhou Xuan retreated to respond, allowing his teammates to stabilize.

Turiaf pulled to the periphery to cover again, he especially likes to cooperate with Zhou Xuan, as long as Zhou Xuan is next to him, his worth is middle-class, otherwise he looks like a blue-collar who can only block hats. Zhou Xuan still walked on the right side, and this time the defender became Boozer.

Zhou Xuan pulled away and deliberately went to the vicinity of Brewer, causing him to reach out to help defend, Delon also came around from the side to defend, and Azubuuk cut to the inside.

Boozer didn't know whether to follow Turiaf or Azubuk on the three-second line, so his movements were slow, Zhou Xuan made a pass to the ground, and Azubuk received the ball and scored a layup. 71 to 80.

Sloane's brow furrowed again, it was still difficult to win the next game easily. A team like the Warriors has not been attacking well for a while, and I don't know when they will find their rhythm and may fight back.

The Jazz offense, or passing the ball back and forth. Boozer cut in the air after the pick-and-roll, but was blocked by Turyaf, and Jackson blocked Deron from breaking through and freed up Brewer. After Zhou Xuan bypassed the defender, he chased after the defense.

The defensive method of the two is a road, and the cooperation is very tacit, Brewer has no confidence in shooting on the periphery, so he can only rush inside, and Jackson will immediately let go of Deron to block Brewer.

Brewer immediately passed the ball to Delong, and Zhou Xuan had already caught up. Twenty-four seconds were almost exhausted, Boozer turned and missed the shot in the low post, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

Compared to grabbing rebounds, Marion is slightly better than Kirilienko.

The Warriors attacked again, but it was still Zhou Xuan and Turiaf who blocked and dismantled, but this time Boozer was slow to change defenses, and Zhou Xuan stopped and jumped to score the ball. 73 to 80.

Seeing that the margin had narrowed, Sloan asked for a timeout.
