When it comes to the league's most expensive starting lineup, some would say the Golden State Warriors or the New York Knicks? San Antonio Spurs? Not! The Utah Jazz, who have the Big Four and three contracts of hundreds of millions of dollars, is the right answer!

Paying the highest luxury tax, the Jazz fell again and again in the first two rounds of the playoffs. For the boss, if the championship is as difficult as climbing to the sky, then is the West Finals also delusional?

A change of manager can't make the team move forward, and watching the team's four cores waste time year after year, everyone is waiting for the day when they will disintegrate.

These four players are very strong in any one of them, and the point guard Don Guy is very playmaking, and his defensive level has been on the line since his debut.

Quarterback Tommy is 1.98 meters tall, but his arm span is 2.15 meters, and he has explosive power, although his projection ability is a little worse, but this is talking about three points, Tommy's mid-range and breakthrough lethality has always been online.

Add to that the 7-foot-tall power forward Jim and the 7-foot-1 center Adams, both of whom are good at playmaking and attacking in the low post.

It's just that Adams is 33 years old, and Jim is a newcomer who has only played for three years. The performance of both of them is absolutely star-level, and why they can't play is an unsolved mystery in the league.

The Jazz roster was on the verge of disintegration before the season began, and if it weren't for Jim's injury in the offseason, he would have been the first player to be sent away, and now other team managers have their eyes on Tommy.

The value of these four players is all dragged down by two years of performance, so except for the veteran Adams, whose mid-level contract looks more cost-effective, the other three are all on poison contracts.

In the eyes of the Jazz owner, the current salary situation of the Lakers is simply drooling with envy, the three main players are rookie contracts, and the most important thing is that they have completed the team's personnel turnover with a one-year draft.

The rest of the new recruits are also mercenaries with low salaries, and it is very simple to change the lineup. Can you lead a team to the first place in the West without paying luxury tax? The Jazz boss really can't think about it.

As a team stuck in a couple of garbage contracts, even if they can make the playoffs, they don't really do anything other than earn a little extra ticket money.

Coming to Salt Lake City, the Lakers, as the most popular team right now, sold out tickets for the Jazz who originally had limited attendance.

The Lakers are obviously playing away, but Lakers fans in Salt Lake City give them the feeling that the teams are at home. Especially Zhang Yi, who played a dazzling performance, almost everywhere he went was cheers and applause.

is different from those young fans in the past, because of playing professional games, no matter where he goes, men, women and children of all ages remember Zhang Yi's name.

If you want to choose the most famous Chinese in the United States today? Even if Zhang Yi can't get the first place, he should squeeze into the top three. That's the benefit of being on the big stage of the NBA.

Some people are popular, and some people are unpopular. The Jazz have the Big Four for nothing but can't lead the team to win, so the fans can't stand it for a long time, and now that the Lakers are here, they have only one idea in their hearts, kick the Jazz's ass hard! Then let the home team make the adjustments cleanly.

In practice before the game, the Jazz players didn't feel right, because not only did they look like they weren't working hard, but several of them were an hour late.

"What's going on? Didn't this lineup finish fourth in the West last year? "yes, and then I was eliminated in the first round." Vali explained to Zhang Yi.

Although he didn't know the opponent this time, Zhang Yi could see that the opposite side should play with one inside and one outside, but it seemed to be very confusing who accounted for this point.

In fact, not only he can see it, but any head coach who has accepted the Jazz team understands this. But how to adjust? Let Tommy sit on the bench? It's still the young new force Jim, although Adams has the fewest contract in the starter, but the most stable player is still him, and he can't be allowed to play on the bench......

No matter who comes to this team, they are faced with happy troubles, because it is not possible to let anyone play on the bench, and if they give up two starting positions to a more functional player, they can simply make up two sets of starters, and the advantage against the opponent will be extremely huge.

But dreams are beautiful, and reality is the backbone. Of course, Zhang Yi couldn't understand why the opponent couldn't sacrifice his starting position for the sake of the team's record, but he knew that such a player would not be able to use it even if he was strong.

Tommy came late, of course because he heard from his agent early in the morning that the coach wanted to trade him. If it's a normal transaction, why not? Anyway, I can't play well in this team.

The question is, Tommy heard that the team wanted to sell him cheaply, which is like saying that his value is worth trading for one or two great players, but the coach wants him to change the regular rotation and draft picks?

Of course, he couldn't get angry when he was already narrow-minded, and being late for training was just the beginning, and Tommy's thought now was that since you had decided to sell me cheaply, why should I play hard?

He completely forgot that he was on the top salary, and Jazz didn't work hard to cultivate him, plus Tommy's advantages were obvious, but the disadvantages were even more obvious.

So his stats are basically piled up by the rest of the team sacrificing themselves. So obviously he hasn't played for a few years, and Tommy's iron count can already rank among the top active players.

The Jazz had hoped that he would be the next Kobe Bryant, but Tommy's failure to develop was a complete waste of his talent......

Although the only player they don't have is an All-Star is a small forward, he's not bad, at least a good defender.

Anyway, the team's offense is in the hands of the other four, and the small forward's task on the court is all kinds of dirty work. All kinds of supplemental defenses, plus the instant combat power to shoot three-pointers when there are opportunities.

When Tommy traded, the other party's request was to add him, which was a robbery. No matter how much the Jazz head coach wants to get rid of this big baggage, it is impossible to send away his regular rotation.

The boss is constantly pressing, so the Jazz coach is now almost the biggest pressure in the entire league.

Before the game began, Jim, the player who was supposed to be there to support, suddenly found some excuse not to show up at home.

That's what makes Salt Lake City fans angry, and he shouldn't have refused to support the home team for any reason.

Everyone on the Lakers team looks at the weird Jazz atmosphere, which is really a sense of happiness with contrast......
