Chapter 211: Jazz of the Plateau (1)

The next day, Lu Shi called early: "Although you lost yesterday, you played well, and in the end you were just a little lucky." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Lei Shui said: "Well, everyone seems to be unprepared, but I believe that the next game will definitely win." ”

Lu Shi said: "In the next away game against the Jazz, you have to be careful, then Salt Lake City is a plateau." ”

Lei Shui said: "Well, we will go today to get used to the climate there in advance..."

On the plane to Salt Lake City, the Spurs were a bit silent, most of them were resting, but a few newcomers were not idle, because they didn't know much about their opponents and needed to see the opponents they were going to face through game footage.

Holding the player report and laptop, Lei Shui carefully watched the Jazz game footage, and he wanted to memorize the characteristics of each opponent.

As soon as they got off the plane, Salt Lake City greeted the Spurs with a rainstorm, but for Bobo, the knife could not stop the training, and they still had a team-wide practice in the afternoon.

The intensity of the training was not large, but the players all felt the impact of the highland climate, and the thinner oxygen than the plains made them more tired and more prone to mistakes, so the old man Bobo would let them adapt in advance.

After two days of acclimatization, the Spurs players have a certain resistance to the plateau climate.

For this season's Jazz team, many people are very optimistic about their prospects this season, although they have missed the playoffs for four consecutive seasons since Delon and Boozer left one after another, however, they have made effective reinforcements in the offseason, getting players such as George Hill, Boris Dior, Joe Johnson, and signed a long-term contract with interior long-term Gobert, plus Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood, who is playing his form, there is certainly a great hope for the playoffs.

On the night of the second day, at the Jazz's home arena, the Spurs and Jazz will have their second game of the regular season, where the Jazz have just won against the Mavericks, so they are full of confidence.

In the locker room, the Spurs got the news that Gordon Hayward was out of action due to illness, which was good news for the Spurs, who were missing a strong scoring point.

Parker is still recovering from an injury, so Old Man Bobo still let Mills play the starting point guard, and put Thunder Water, who performed well in the last game, into the starting point guard, other positions: small forward Leonard, power forward Ade, center Gasol.

The Jazz's starters are: center Gobert, power forward Pevers, small forward Hood, point guard Johnson, and point guard Hill.

In the opening jump ball, the Spurs got the offensive power, and Ade came up and hit a mid-range shot against Pevers, looking in good shape.

But the Jazz used frequent screens to create misplaced opportunities, and Joe Johnson singled out Ade and used his technique to shake off space and hit a three-pointer.

Turning around, Pevers couldn't break the ball, lost his position, and was rushed to the basket by Ade for a layup, but was made up by Gobert and stretched out his long arm to cap behind his back, Jazz quickly counterattacked, and when he got to the frontcourt, it was another misplaced opportunity, and Hood stepped back in the face of Gasol and hit a three-point shot.

Although the Jazz made two three-pointers, they were all shots made with a defender in front of them, not open shots, so they didn't get angry when they shot Bobo, but emphasized the problem of switching positions on the sidelines.

Ade didn't score, and the Jazz broke through and had an open three-point opportunity, which was much better than the first two opportunities, but unfortunately it didn't go in, but the Spurs didn't block it, Hill grabbed the rebound, and took advantage of the chaos to give Feffers a dunk to the basket.

Old man Bobo was very angry at not blocking people, and immediately got up and called a pause for the lecture.

After the reprimand, the Spurs attacked, Mills and Thunder Water blocked and dismantled outside, and after the Jazz switched positions, Hill faced Thunder Water, and seeing the difference in height, Mills handed the ball to Thunder Water.

After receiving the ball, Lei Shui took advantage of Hill's unstable defensive position and rushed to the basket, Hill was very experienced, controlled the breakthrough line, so that Lei Shui's breakthrough was not easy to approach the basket, Lei Shui was strong against Hill, under Hill's defense, Lei Shui failed to fully jump, but he could still make a layup with his height and arm length, at this time Gobert came back to assist in defense, Gobert's long arms stretched high from behind, Lei Shui adjusted the height of the shot in order to avoid the cover, and the result was a little stronger, and the layup missed.

The Jazz quickly counterattacked, and Pevers missed a mid-range throw, and the Spurs grabbed the rebound.

In this offense, the Spurs were led by Gasol in the high post, Leonard ran in circles, went straight to the basket, Gasol dropped the ball, but was destroyed by Gobert's height, and the Jazz counterattacked Hood and scored a fast-break layup.

It's been 3 and a half minutes since the Spurs opened the game, and they haven't scored except for the first attack, so stabilizing and scoring has become the most important thing, or Gasol responded to the high position, Leonard ran the position, and this time Leonard hit the ball and finally began to score.

Jazz immediately attacked, this time it was a continuous block and dismantling position, Lei Shui changed to Hill, Hill took advantage of Faphes's cover to break through the inside line, Lei Shui followed the defense in a big circle, Hill hit the ground and passed to Fei Fuss down, Lei Shui's eyes were fast, he grabbed a step quickly, and before the ball was passed to Fayves, he scooped up the ball with his long arm and took the ball into his arms... The steal was successful, and Thunder Water quickly turned around and quickly went down to assist Leonard for a layup.

The Jazz wanted to play fast, so they served quickly, but Leonard was quick and intercepted directly in the air, and broke the ball off in less than half the court, rushing straight to the basket, and the serve under the basket saw that he had no choice but to force it down, sending Leonard to the free throw line, and Leonard hit both free throws.

Turning back to defend, the Spurs no longer made substitutions, and the defense was concentrated after half time, forcing the Jazz to pass the wrong ball, the Spurs broke the ball, the three of them went down quickly, the Jazz only Hill himself defended, Mills in the middle, Leonard and Thunder Water on both sides, over the middle line, Mills chose to pass to Leonard, Leonard received the pass and strode to the penalty area, facing Hill who stood in a hurry, Leonard stopped and threw it gently, and Thunder Water received the ball with both hands and dunked vigorously on the other side as if falling from the sky.

Consecutive steals by the Spurs, playing into a counterattack, the advantage established in the opening game was eroded, and Jazz coach Snyder was forced to call a timeout to adjust.
