As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Yi felt a completely different atmosphere from Los Angeles, less prosperous and more streamlined.

Picking up the Lakers, the driver of the away bus said to himself, "This city hasn't experienced an NBA championship parade in years......

This sounds a little sad, but it is the voice of 27 teams, there will only be one championship every year, and over the years, the Golden State Warriors have won 5 championships.

Without the Los Angeles Lakers, without the joining of Zhang Yi, Vali and Robert, this year's championship will most likely fall into the hands of the Warriors.

The Utah Jazz compete for the championship every year, and they accompany them every year. It seems that in the history of the NBA, they are destined to be supporting characters. But it doesn't matter, the joy of competitive sports is being able to get back up after a defeat.

This was true of the Utah Twins, and the same is true of the new version of the Twins. Utah viewers have never forgotten that their home team has the heart of a championship!

Since it was back-to-back, WACKER only had the players warm up briefly in the afternoon before returning them to the hotel. This is only a preseason game, and Zhang Yi and others no longer need to rely on this kind of game to test their strength, so staying healthy is the first element.

By the time the evening was officially played, nearly 20,000 spectators had poured into the Utah Jazz's Energy Solutions arena. The popularity of the Salt Lake City ball market completely exceeded the expectations of Zhang Yi and others.

In particular, English center Steven Gerrard and point guard Francis will be on the pitch tonight, just like the San Antonio Spurs, who have advertised early on that they will field an all-out lineup.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, they have become a unit of measurement for many of the best teams in the West. Everyone wants to find a sense of existence in Zhang Yi and others.

On the one hand, this is to adapt to the opponent's tactics in advance in the new season, and even more want to consume the successor of Curry Jr. through this kind of game.

Comparatively speaking, it is more polite for the Sacramento Kings to send only one main player on the court. This is mainly because the Kings are still quite confident in their own strength. And the main point guard Flaka insisted on saving the opportunity to play until the start of the new season. The manager will not force his absolute core because of such a dispensable victory.

The Utah Jazz are different, they are inherently hostile to anyone linked to Curry Jr. In addition, Zhang Yi has indeed shown super strength in these games.

"The grass that just emerges should be cut in advance!" Point guard Francis said coldly. In the Jazz locker room, he has an absolute say. With a strong black man of 1.98 meters, a background in the underworld block, and a fiery personality, Francis has always been a division guard. But Jazz coach Freddie spotted his talent for playmaking.

Just like the senior Stockton, Francis has super offensive ability, and because he has been trained by gangsters since he was a child, he has a super sense of the big picture and reaction speed. There are even rumors that teenage Francis once dodged bullets.

This is probably nonsense, but it also shows how amazing Francis's reaction speed is. Like Ariya, Francis also participated in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest when he debuted three years ago, and won the championship with a shocking vertical lift in the crotch and a full score dunk!

This shows how strong his ability to accuse is. While Francis is a shortcoming in his shooting ability, and his poor hand doesn't feel like much has changed today, all the spectators are expecting him to develop jumpers and back-to-back shots like Michael, and in that case, Francis is simply invincible......

The same British center Steven Gerrard, an athletic family, is amazingly talented, 2.13 meters, and although he weighs only 190 pounds, which is a bit light for an interior player, his athleticism is amazing, and he even broke the NBA 100-yard record in the physical test.

Among the many black people who have exploded in their bodies, this white man is like an outlier, which is why he is called a muscle freak. Gerald's body fat percentage remains around 5% all year round, which is better than that of most professional bodybuilders.

Coupled with his super projection ability, he can shoot in any position in the opponent's half. In order to prevent himself from being blocked, his shooting posture is very weird, with a lot of room to lean back, a bit like the golden rooster independence of the 'German tank' Nowitzki, but in order to increase the speed of his shot, his toes do not leave the ground at all.

A high-speed battery with super projection ability, and a point guard with explosive athletic ability, such a pair of somewhat bizarre combinations constitute a new version of the Utah Twins.

Although they don't have the iron elbow of 'Postman' Malone, nor do they have Stockton's historic big-picture vision and court-control ability, Gerald and Francis' average of 50+ points, 22 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals and 3 blocks per game is enough to make them on the shortlist of the strongest duo in history!

None of such a Utah Jazz team could break the fate of being eliminated by the Golden State Warriors in the first round, which is unimaginable in itself. Except for the unexpected injuries of Francis and Gerrard in the past two years, luck and strength were not on their side in the end.

For Gerrard, who wants to break into the Hall of Fame, he still doesn't have any hard accolades on him at the age of 30, and now he can only pin his hopes on these two seasons.

If you can lead the team to beat the Golden State Warriors in the series, then even if you don't have a championship for life, or you don't have honors such as MVP, DPOY, and FMVP. But with three first-team appearances, six second-team selections, five defensive first-team appearances, two second-team selections and nine consecutive All-Star Game selections, including two All-Star Most Valuable Player trophies, he could enter the coveted Hall of Fame after retiring from retirement.

Before the game even started, the crowd was already excited when the two teams entered. In particular, the enthusiastic cheers of Francis and Gerrard as they ran out of the players' tunnel, as well as the loud noise and boos when Zhang Yi came on the field, can be seen why Energy Solutions Arena is known as the Northwest Devil's Stadium.

Although he knew that the Utah Jazz would produce a full main lineup, Wacker still did not arrange Oscar and others to play. Because he wanted to see how far Zhang Yi and the others could fight.

In front of the league's well-formed blocking team, if the Los Angeles Lakers' new starting lineup can be just lived, it means that their defense in the new season at least does not have to worry too much.

In addition, the more the Utah cared about the game, the more WACKER did not want them to be satisfied, which is also part of the psychological warfare. It's useless to be excited, no matter if you win or lose this game, everything will be zero in the new season, it's as simple as that!
