Chapter 30: Complete Victory Is Ours
Chapter 42 Complete victory is ours
"I'm old, man, I'm old too...... I think it's time for me to say goodbye to basketball. You know, the excitement of the basketball court may not belong to me William Adams anymore. William Adams muttered to himself to the tombstone as if he were talking to his old friend.
'The team has been in great form this season. We've just won seven in a row. While we lost Carlos, Millsap and Al filled the void he left behind. But... Drones don't seem to get along well with me, your son Greg, he's not as into basketball as you do. I got less and less support from management and I felt like I was leaving, man. "I don't think I have much time left to coach the team for you." William Adams said, coughing twice. Last December, temperatures in Salt Lake City weren't as comfortable as in Dallas.
"Well, don't make a fuss. Today I just want to see you and talk to you. Hey, do you remember the young man I told you about last time? Wallace Kobe Bryant, he's a good kid, talented, and hardworking. Even if I'm not in Salt Lake City, you can count on him to get jazz back on track. Well, it's not too early. I should go back and watch the boys' train. Tomorrow against the Dallas Cleveland Cavaliers, I hope you can bring us good luck. William Adams finished speaking and looked at the words on the tombstone for a few minutes. Then he sighed and quietly turned away.
If it weren't for the man lying in the cemetery, William Adams would have chosen to retire long ago. But he just couldn't give up the iron-blooded jazz he and that man had created. After all, this team spent more than two decades.
Jerry Sloan and Larry Miller are two basketball enthusiasts who have made the Jazz in Salt Lake City a formidable force to be reckoned with in the league.
The Houston Rockets, which England fans love so much, have been rejected several times by the Jazz and are unable to break through in the second round of the playoffs.
Larry Miller is the owner of a basketball team and he loves basketball very much. He can unconditionally support Sloan's accomplishments. Sloan also has a lot of power. Even if the team's personnel change, the team's general manager must follow Sloan's orders.
But that all changed when Miller Sr. died of diabetes in 2009 and his son, Greg Miller, came to power.
Sloan no longer has rights because Greg loves football, and basketball is not love for him, just business. As a result, Greg doesn't value old Sloan as much as his father does. Team management won't listen to Sloan anymore. William Adams is just a coach, that's all.
That's why Sloan hasn't gotten along well with the team in the last two years. After all, Jerry Sloan is the biggest jazz player in years besides Miller Sr. Now, even DeLong dares to push his nose and eyes. This huge sense of difference naturally made the grumpy Sloan uncomfortable.
All these reasons, combined with his physical discomfort, made Sloan Sr. intend to resign. He wasn't sure, on the one hand, the harsh working conditions, and on the other, his old friend Miller and the hard-working iron-willed teacher. It was this uncertainty that led Sloan to come in the morning to talk to the old miller.
Although it was a chat, the deceased could not give Sloan an answer. All decisions were in William Adams' mind.
While Sloane's heart is struggling, he will do his best to contribute to the team as long as he remains in the head coach position.
He is still the second person to take part in the team's regular training session this morning. Because Wallace Bryant Bryant is always ahead of others.
"Good morning, Coach!" When Sloan walked into the training ground, Kobe Bryant greeted the gloomy William Adams with a boyish face.
"How did Wallace practice?" Sloan didn't go back to the office, but stood aside and chatted with Kobe Bryant.
"Hey, hey, good." The white striker scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Keep practicing Wallace and don't stop until the official training begins." Sloan is not a rookie coach, which can be judged by Kobe Bryant's average of 13 minutes of play. So, after a brief conversation with Kobe Bryant, he decided to turn around and leave.
But today, as Sloan was about to walk to his office, Kobe Bryant stopped him from behind.
"Sir!" Kobe Bryant's voice echoed across the empty training ground.
"What's wrong with Wallace?" Sloane turned slowly.
"I... I have... Recently...... "Kobe Bryant knew Sloan was a fierce and tough manager. He had been with this William Adams for too long, and he knew that Sloan was not a good-natured William Adams. So the white striker was a little hesitant when he spoke.
"If you continue like this, I'll go." In fact, Sloan had already guessed what Kobe Bryant was trying to say. Tomorrow, their opponent will be the Dallas Cleveland Cavaliers. The most talkative player for the Dallas Cleveland Cavaliers is Su Feng, who is a teammate at Kobe Bryant University, except for the German.
Kobe Bryant's back disappeared at the end of the basketball practice court. From that moment on, Su Feng knew that the Cleveland Knights would have a troubled opponent today.
Let's play on the basketball court, man!
"Brad, can't you have a good meal first? Wallace hasn't played yet. At Brad Stevens' home in Indianapolis, his wife was struggling with the young coach.
Stevens' eyes were fixed on the TV, but his hands and mouth were still mechanically repeating the act of eating. Even though Su Feng and Kobe Bryant were both substitutes, Stevens still didn't want to miss a single scene of the game.
"If I miss it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Stevens said to his wife with a smile. What else could she say to this basketball-obsessed man?
On TV, players from both sides have just finished jumping the ball. On the Jazz side, Al Jefferson was referring to fifth, and his reaction wasn't as quick as "The Champion," and Kidd once again controlled the first offense.
Looking at Kidd's skillful ball control skills, Stevens was happy for Su Feng. Learning from such a good defender is God's greatest favor.
For Kidd's defense, the Jazz naturally blocked the passing lane. After all, Kidd's scoring efficiency has been terrible this season.
But the tricks of jazz are not visible to knowledgeable children. Seeing that the Jazz's defensive formation was being scattered, Kidd hit a block and pulled it out.
Because the space was stretched so wide, Kidd got rid of DeLong and then took a two-step jump and a direct shot. The calm old Kidd spearheaded the first record for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But soon, the drone hit Al Jefferson with a good pass on the offensive end. Jefferson may not have an advantage in height, but his offensive skills are well-rounded enough to handle Chandler. What's more, Delon was comfortable receiving the ball, and Jefferson almost hit the ball to his favorite spot.
The two sides fought fiercely at first, but soon Sloane Sr. discovered the problem.
The Jazz didn't score much today. DeLong has conceded three goals in a row, and Kirilenko has a lot less desire to score than before. As Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap go deeper, sooner or later Carlisle will target them. You know, the Cleveland Cavaliers' two inside lines are not soft persimmons.
The match lasted six minutes and neither side moved. In the end, Sloan was the first to make the change. With a boyish face, he walked straight up to Kobe Bryant and clapped his hands vigorously. "It's time to prove your worth, kid!"
Kobe Bryant was a bit excited and rarely played when the game was so intense. The white forward's hand trembled until Sloan grabbed his hand and gave Kobe Bryant a firm look, and his mood gradually stabilized! specious
"Come on!" Meanwhile, Stevens was watching the game at home and suddenly had two bright eyes. Two of his proudest students are finally going to compete together on the top flight stage! Ussuru
"At the same time, playing double point guard for Stevens. Raja Bell is not a good person. You've got to watch out for that William Adams! Carlisle has also made personnel changes, with Su Feng as the sixth Cleveland Cavaliers leader and continuing to work with the German defenders.
"Lagar, you know what to do!" A bareheaded guard on the Sloan playground shouted loudly, and Raja Bell, a tough outside guard, once made Kobe Bryant eat him.
What's a novice to old fritters like him? Despite the fact that Raja Bell is 34 years old, Sloan believes that such a villain will not grow up to be amiable.
"Former bulldog stars Wallace Kobe Bryant and Su Feng are now competing against each other on the court. Cheer up, fellow viewers, the truly good part of the game has just begun! At the same time, Kobe Bryant immediately made a strategic run.
Marion clearly doesn't have many concerns about the rookie, who averages five points in 10 minutes. He didn't defend very tightly. Marion's mind is on others.
Kobe Bryant ran out of the baseline from right to left, and during this time, naturally no Jazz player could pull him down. While he's famous in college, in the top league, and for the Utah Jazz, Kobe Bryant is just a blank slate, with no status. In this regard, he is much more painful than Su Feng.
Deron Williams looked around and saw that only Kobe Bryant had a chance. A newcomer is a newcomer. Newcomers don't eat basketball. So DeLong didn't hesitate and pushed the ball to Kobe Bryant with both hands.
"Damn it!" When Marion was absent-minded, Su Feng knew that something was wrong. The guy's three-point shooting percentage, but his little triceps don't match.
Chandler had his back to the basket, knowing that if he turned around and dunked again, Bynum would come to stop him. So, after receiving the ball, Chandler jumped straight from behind to the basket, and his backhand dunk was successful before Bynum arrived.
Straight back to the basket for a dunk, Chandler allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to break out of the scoring drought. Beautiful passes, beautiful dunks! The Dallas Cleveland Cavaliers are still people of color. It's almost impossible for the defending champions to take the win easily! Oh!
'The speed, power and angle of the pass are perfect, and soon he will be better than me. Looking at Su Feng next to Carlisle, Kidd said with a smile.
The Houston Rockets' entire defensive passing and the teasing of the shocking two-handed dunk finally brought American Route Center Stadium to life.
Then defensively, Gasol singled Nowitzki. But with Nowitzki's total blockade, Gasol's hook deflected off the basket.
Chandler conserved his energy, pushed Bynum high, and then jumped up and grabbed the rebound steadily. The Houston Rockets lost their first offense today, and fans want to see if the Cleveland Cavaliers can continue their momentum.
This time, Su Feng didn't move forward very quickly. He seems to be waiting for his teammates on purpose rather than rushing to attack.
The rhythm was in place, and Su Feng waved his hand again. This time, the person who came to stop Su Feng turned out to be Chandler.
Last time, Gasol didn't change in time to prevent a big mistake. So this time, Bynum didn't hesitate, and at the moment when the blockade was formed, it immediately filled Su Feng's flank.
Bynum's strong physical pressure made it difficult for Su Feng to take every step of the dribble.
It is impossible to break through all the time. Marion in the bottom left corner. Su Feng is slightly to the left, and it seems that he is ready to pass!
Artest immediately picked up his pace, hoping to cut off Su Feng's obvious passing intentions.
Su Feng was still hitting the ball on the ground, but the basketball did not fly in Marion's direction after the rebound. Instead, it bounced back into the air behind Su Feng.
"What the hell!" Everyone on the Houston Rockets stayed and waited for Chandler to jump into the air and grab the basketball before they knew what was going on.
Fisher couldn't stare at Chander. Chandler cut in and jumped with ease, then slotted the ball into the box with one hand.
Su Feng left without looking at the ground, blinding everyone's eyes.
Their excellent defense gives them a chance to attack. The Cleveland Cavaliers will be looking to seize those opportunities with a stellar performance. The competition is getting tougher. What do you think both sides need to pay attention to next?
"For the Houston Rockets, their defense has to be tighter. Because again, if you give him a little space, he can pass the ball to you! Do you know?
In the latter stages of the game, the two sides played unshakable, you come and go. The Cleveland Cavaliers scored a goal on this side, and the Houston Rockets could add another goal in the near future.
Bryant managed to close the gap, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be back soon.
Kobe Bryant's injured ankle seemed to be recovering well, and in the first quarter, "Black Mamba" scored 10 points as a cucumber cutter. But the Cleveland Cavaliers, who blossomed more than a few points, led by 25-23 points at the end of the first quarter.
"At the beginning of the game, when Kobe Bryant scored seven points, I thought the Cleveland Cavaliers were going to end the game. But soon they got used to it. Look, now the leader has turned into a calf. The key player in the first quarter of the Houston Rockets was undoubtedly Kobe. So who do you think were the key players in the first quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers? During breaks, the work of commentators is the most difficult. Because they have to constantly find themes for fans who don't have photos so that fans don't turn the channel out of boredom.
Dirk scored six points in the first quarter, the highest of any Cleveland Cavaliers. But when it comes to key players, I'll still choose. Without his passing, the Cleveland Cavaliers probably wouldn't have recovered as quickly. The stats of 4 points and 3 assists in a single quarter are definitely good. As the game progresses, Coach Carlisle is sure to field a two-point guard formation. At that point, we'll have a good look at Kobe. Kevin Harlan rubbed his hands, Carlisle, Carlisle, get what the fans want!
"William Adams, when did your defense get so clean? Right? Have you become a docile lamb? During the break, Jackson's first emphasis was on defense.
Don't think that Artest's coach, a dirty player, doesn't like that. If he doesn't, how can he survive in the Union? Their filth is exactly what the managers need.
"Fortify your defenses! The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't have had an easy time scoring. Give me some decisiveness to change my defenses. furthermore
