Salt Lake City is the capital of the U.S. state of Utah, named for its proximity to the Great Salt Lake.

More than 100 years ago, thousands of Mormons founded the city here, and today it has grown to become the third-largest city in the interior of the United States.

Salt Lake City is rich in ore and has a large number of tourist attractions, but it is better known for its altitude than these.

Most of the whole of Salt Lake City is left in the valley at an altitude of 1,320 meters, and if you exercise vigorously in the city, you will soon feel out of breath.

The Jazz's home arena, Energy Solutions Arena, is located right in the heart of the city.

And this is the biggest reason why the Jazz team is "the devil's home court", and it is also what the Rockets will face next.

It is precisely because of this advantage that although they suffered two heavy defeats, the Jazz players still appear to be full of confidence.

Deron Williams, the core of the Jazz team, said in an interview that the team will fight back at home.

'We've won 90 per cent of our home games in the regular season this season, and the last time our opponents made it to the playoffs was 2-0 up and then reversed, so we have absolute confidence.

"We're going to bottom out and kick the opponent's ass hard." Boozer's remarks in the interview were more provocative.

The two core leaders of the Jazz team are this attitude, and the whole team is also full of confidence.

The next night, the Energy Solutions Arena was full, with more than 18,000 seats already full.

As the headquarters of the Mormon Church, nearly half of Salt Lake City's population is Mormons, which makes the city's fans unusually united.

Tang Tian came out of the players' tunnel with the players of the Rocket team, and immediately felt an invisible pressure.

Unlike all other arenas in the NBA, the seating slope of the Energy Solutions arena is very large, even a little "steep", and the whole arena looks like a deep well, which is chilling.

The effect of this design is already reflected in the introduction of the players, when the home team's starters are introduced, all the cheers roll up like waves, pouring down the stadium, and people's eardrums are shaken a little numb.

The Jazz players have long been accustomed to all this, and they shouted excitedly to the cheers of the fans, and they beat them one by one.

"Oh my God! This is crazy! Mike Brin in the commentary bench was already deeply shaken by this momentum.

"This is Salt Lake City, the City of the Devil." Reggie Miller on the side opened his mouth and said that he was not very qualified as a commentator, but as a player, he had played too many games like this in this arena.

Many of the Rockets' rosters had shocked faces on their faces, many of whom had never played in the playoffs here, and it was the first time they had seen such a scene.

However, because Tang Tian had been vaccinated many times before, their psychological fluctuations were much smaller than expected.

After the players of both sides were introduced, the game began quickly.

The starting line-ups on both sides were the same as in the previous two games.

"Toot!"

As the referee's whistle blew, Yao Ming and Boozer jumped up for the ball.

Boozer jumped to possession for the Jazz, who took the lead in attacking.

"Come on! Jazz! ”

A deafening shout rang out at the scene.

Thibodeau on the sidelines frowned unconsciously, this sound was much louder than before, and unlike simple cheers, there were a lot of trash talk and boos mixed in, which was simply noise pollution.

He turned his head to look at Tang Tian and found that the latter's expression had not changed much.

He had to admire Tang Tian a little, he was always so calm on the field.

That's when the Jazz launched their first offense.

Unlike the previous two games, Sloan made tactical adjustments, not letting DeLong carry the ball to attack, but letting Boozer hold the ball on the right side, and playing an inside pick-and-roll with Oku.

After the defender was changed from Yao Ming to Millsap, Boozer chose to play with his back to his back.

Millsap and Boozer have similar styles, but the latter has a clear advantage in height and reach.

After a series of foot movements, Boozer opted for a turnaround shot from the board.

Millsap struggled to block and missed, and the ball hit the board.

The cheers of the scene immediately fryed.

The players on the Rockets court felt their ears ringing.

The Rockets' offense, Blake carried the ball to the front court and handed the ball to Yao Ming.

The Jazz also made adjustments on the defensive end, and Kirilenko stuck to Maddie and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball at all.

Yao Ming distributed the ball to Blake in the bottom corner.

The sound of interference at the scene rolled in like a tidal wave.

"Bang!"

Blake's three-pointer was missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Oku.

The Jazz pushed back and Delon scored a layup on a fast-break run past Battier.

4-0, the Jazz swept away the previous decline and played with momentum at the beginning.

The cheers at the scene shook the sky.

The voices of the two commentators in the commentary seat were completely overshadowed by the sound.

When the sound passed, Brin shook his head helplessly and said loudly: "This is really crazy, this place, it will definitely be very difficult for Team Rocket to take away the victory from here." ”

The Rockets' offense, Millsap's air cut found an opportunity, Yao Ming gave the ball in time, and his layup caused a foul on Oku's beater.

Millsapp went to the free-throw line and he had a chance to score the first point for the Rockets.

The referee motioned to Millsap and then gave him the ball.

However, as soon as he received the ball, the noise of interference on the scene was overwhelming.

It was really like a tide, and it was like your ears were going to explode.

Millsap took a few deep breaths before shooting a free throw.

"Bang!"

The first penalty was not scored.

This level of interference is really not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

Millsap adjusted, took a moment of aim, and then struck.

"Bang!"

The second free throw was still missed, and Boozer under the basket pocketed the rebound.

Two penalties missed!

The home jamming effect is simply explosive!

Delon received the ball and advanced to the Rockets halfcourt.

"Come on! Jazz! ”

The shouts of the fans swept in again.

Thibodeau shouted from the sidelines that the Rockets' defense was still airtight, and the Jazz had no chance of a few pick-and-rolls.

However, the shouts at the scene did not abate at all.

Seeing that the time was about to come, Delong borrowed Oku to block and dismantle, faced Yao Ming's pounce, and directly chose to make a strong three-point shot.

The basketball passed through Yao Ming's fingertips and flew straight towards the basket.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rebound, but after the rebound, it went in!

7 to 0!

The Jazz opened the game and gave the Rockets a complete kick-off.

The cheers burst through the sky, and the fans were completely excited.

The scene was given to Tang Tian, and the photographer hoped to use it to "add fuel to the fire" of the atmosphere of this home stadium.

However, after the camera passed, everyone found that Tang Tian did not have the expected panicked look on his face, and he was still sitting there with a calm expression.
