Chapter 66: Strong Team Jazz

After playing the Lakers, the Rockets did not return to Houston, but flew straight to Utah to play the Jazz away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Jazz have a very strong roster, starting five Tigers Oku, Boozer, Kirilenko, Brewer, Delon, each of them is an amazing player. This starting lineup can't be said to be the best of all teams, but it is definitely one of the teams with the strongest shortcomings.

However, it is precisely because of this lineup that Kirilenko and Brewer cannot fully play. Andrei Kirilenko, in particular, is nicknamed "AK47" by fans because he is a fighting ethnic Russian. He is a very strong and well-rounded player, in January '06, he scored 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks, and 6 steals against the Lakers, and is the third person in the entire NBA history to contribute "5×5" stats in a single game.

How remarkable is this statistic? Look at the two people in front of him, Olajuwon "Big Dream" and David "Admiral" Robinson. These two Hall of Famers speak volumes about the greatness of this statistic, which makes Kirilenko the closest to the five pairs in active service.

How remarkable is five pairs? Just look at Wu Di's task, one of his final mission completion conditions is to complete five pairs, which is an unprecedented data that no one has ever obtained.

And Brewer is also a good player, although not as dazzling as Kirilenko, it is enough to become a third-in-command in other teams, and maybe a second-in-command in a weak team.

The Rockets are still on the court in this game, Da Yao, Scola, Battier, Maddy and Francis, and the reason why Adelman is still on Francis is because he also wants to give Francis some more chances.

The Rockets have a slightly inferior roster, but they have two superstars. Da Yao can beat Oku on the inside, and Boozer is difficult to help because of his height. And the face will be faced by Kirilenko's defense, as a superstar he can also be defended by Kirilenko alone.

However, as soon as he came up, Francis disappointed Adelman, in the face of Delon, Boss Fur was not an opponent at all, whether it was offensive or defensive, he was completely suppressed by Delon. As a point guard in '05, Delon quickly established himself on the Jazz team, just like Paul, and then won the starting spot over others, and together with Paul and Raymond Field, he marked the rookie of '05 as the point guard of the year.

Because of Francis, the Rockets were beaten 8-2 in three minutes, and Adelman had to replace Francis with Alstom. Adelman has already put a "death sentence" on Francis in his heart, and now he has seriously dragged the rocket back.

After switching to Alstom, the situation is much better. Although Alstom, the king of street ball, has many problems, but his ball handling is the best in the NBA, and Delon can't snatch the basketball from Alstom, so he can only let the Rockets run the ball.

Under the cover of Da Yao, Maddie made two three-pointers in a row to tie the score.

The two teams played well, and in the eighth minute, Adelman replaced Da Yao and replaced Uncle Mu, leaving Maddie alone to lead the team.

To be honest, Da Yao and Maddie's cooperation has not been perfect, they had a lot of flashes of cooperation in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it seems to have appeared in its original form, and they have never broken through the first round. So Adelman began to seek a new kind of cooperation, let Yao Mai separate, and the two each brought some players, and now Wu Di is the one who cooperates with Da Yao.

When the official timeout was in the second quarter, Adelman replaced Da Yao and Wu Di, along with Landry, Wells, and Brooks.

The Jazz didn't pay attention to Wu Di at first, even though they had learned that Wu Di had dunked Bynum in the last game. But a guard dunks the inside line, which is normal in the NBA. Even if the media that tends to the Rockets hype, it still can't change the fact that Wu Di only played ten minutes and scored 5 points, he is a substitute who still needs to work hard for playing time.

Wu Di played as a shooting guard, against Brewer, who played again in the second quarter. Brewer didn't take Wu Di to heart, and wanted to fight one single-handedly, but no matter how he broke through, he couldn't get rid of Wu Di. Brewer was a little annoyed, and suddenly made a sudden stop, jumped up, and wanted to shoot Wu Di's head.

But as soon as he threw the ball, he saw Wu Di string up in front of him, and raised his arm to hit a volleyball-style block and hit the ball out. After landing, Brewer wanted to run back to compete for basketball, but he didn't want Wu Di to have run away from him. Brewer sped up and wanted to grab the basketball before Wu Di, but as soon as he ran to the middle line, he was taken by Wu Di, and watched Wu Di pick up the basketball and then score a layup.

Brewer's face turned black all of a sudden, pretending to be B but being beaten by that, his mood can be imagined.

Brewer directly asked that he wanted to single Wu Di again and get the court back, but he didn't want him to still be unable to break through Wu Di's defense. Although Wu Di is immature, he is not bullied by everyone. Kobe Bryant has to show real skills to deal with him, how can Brewer not capsize in the gutter when he is underestimated?

However, Brewer does not have much say in the Jazz, and can only be ranked fifth or even sixth, because there is also a sixth man on the inside, Millsap. One of Millsap's key players for the Jazz is only in his second season in the NBA, but he doesn't have a lot of balls.

Seeing that Brewer was still going to hit hard, Millsap immediately leaned on Landry, and then waved his hand to Brewer for the ball. Brewer was reluctant to pass the ball through, but it was clear that Millsap had a better chance and he could only get the ball inside. After receiving the ball, Millsap struck two sits back before turning around and holding Landry down to jump and hook up to score.

The Jazz are not only strong in the starting lineup, their bench is still strong. Not much to say about Millsap, the sixth man, is that Covre and Harprin are also strong substitutes, and they are both averaging around 10 points per game. Sometimes, a team only needs 8 or 10 players to beat any team, and the Jazz have 8 good players, so they are strong.

Wu Di and Da Yao's cooperation is still a little rusty, but Adelman is already very satisfied, as long as he can ensure that he does not fall behind in the second quarter, he can wait until the second half to decide the winner with the Jazz. With Maddie's explosive scoring, there is a good chance of beating the Jazz.

Adelman's plan was good, but Jazz coach Sloan saw through his plan at a glance. The Qiansheng coach immediately replaced Brewer and replaced Kirilenko, wanting to use Kirilenko's defense to limit Wu Di.
