Chapter Sixty-Seven: Sloan's Thoughts

At the end of the first quarter, the Jazz trailed the Timberwolves by eleven points, and the double-digit margin left all Jazz fans in disbelief.

Is this basketball played by the Utah Jazz? What about the league's well-known pick-and-roll tactics?

This is Salt Lake City, one of the "notorious" devil's home stadiums in the league, everyone knows that the Utah Jazz coached by Sloan has an amazing home win rate, and every time they arrive in Salt Lake City, this Utah Jazz team will become a guard boss, and become an existence that no team in the league dares to underestimate.

That's one of the proudest things for Utah fans, even though we're a small city with a small population, but we have a home stadium that everyone fears, and you don't have to worry about not seeing a win you expect!

What is the most fascinating thing about sports? Isn't it just a hearty victory!

But tonight's Jazz fans were lost, from the old fans in their fifties and sixties to the young children in their sixties and sevens, and everyone didn't understand why the Jazz played like this tonight!

As soon as Boozer got off the court, he angrily slammed the towel handed by his teammates on the chair, looking gloomy and obviously choking on anger.

The little fat man Delon is in a good mood, he has a good hand and scored 9 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and the efficiency is very impressive, which is still very rare for him, and the jump shot level of the little fat man has been up and down, which is the most important reason for him to become a superstar.

In fact, this is also a point that the little fat Delong has been criticized by the media, the little fat Delong is on the strong side, and he is not cowardly at all in the face of some strong defenders in the league, and he can easily crush it, and even in the face of Chauncy Billups, he can not fall behind and play well.

But in the eyes of the media, Deron Deron has become a fatal heel in his poor shooting percentage, and they think that when Deron Williams suffers an injury or ends in his career, Fat Guy will become a cancer.

Delon who can't continue to rely on excellent physical fitness will become a big hole in the team, receiving a high salary but not being able to play as a star as he should, isn't this a poison contract?

The little fat man Delong didn't look at these remarks less, these remarks were correct, but the ridicule between the words made the little fat man feel unhappy once he saw it, and then he was directly labeled as "alarmist" and thrown into the cold palace, never paying attention to this kind of remarks again.

The little fat man who is not good in psychological quality can only comfort himself: these media are full of food and have nothing to do, no matter how good you are, if they want to hack you, you can't stop it!

You have excellent skills, they will say that your physical fitness is not up to par, you play by your body, and they say that you are weak in technology and a barbarian, even if you are like Kobe, the first person in the league now, is not hacked so that you don't want it, it's better not to deal with these media, black and black are healthier, let them go!

However, today's performance was very pleasant, completely ignoring Boozer's gloomy face, and humming a little song leisurely.

"Don't you think there's a reason why we're lagging behind now, boss? Aren't you going to put a stop to it? Boozer couldn't help but yelled at the old coach Sloane, angrily spitting on the stars and flying around, ignoring the feelings of his teammates next to him.

Sloane's face remained unchanged, and he replied lightly: "Carlos, do you have any opinion on the situation in front of you?" So please tell us about your feelings! ”

Boozer couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and poured out all the words in his stomach in one go: "Boss, I'm afraid our point guard has been derelict in his duties, look at his performance in the first quarter of the game, what did he bring to the operation of the team?" He's just going to be there alone, and everyone else can just watch him play! ”

"Is this the way we play the Utah Jazz? I don't understand! In a fit of rage, Boozer didn't even want to call Delon's name again, and at this moment he wanted to rush up and punch the little fat man DeLong twice.

Sloane was silent, a gleam shot out of his cloudy eyes, and he glanced faintly at Boozer and Deron Williams, and his heart was extremely clear.

Boozer and Deron are both the new generation of "Utah Double" candidates he originally envisioned, but the imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, although Deron is a point guard who is happy to pass the ball, but his shooting percentage is not consistent, far less reassuring than Stockton.

Similarly, Boozer is also a restless master, although the offense is good, but the defensive end often becomes a moving big black hole on the court, even if the defensive awareness is poor, the defensive attitude is not sincere, it is simply a big forward can score on his head!

If it weren't for the fact that there was a reliable Russian-made "AK47" in the team to help him make up for the defense, the Jazz's defense would have been broken through a long time ago.

What makes the old coach Sloan even more chilling is that at the beginning of the new season last year, Boozer seriously told Utah fans that he would not consider the contract issue until the end of the season, and expressed his loyalty to the Utah Jazz. However, less than two months after the game, the kid suddenly declared that he refused to execute his $12.32 million contract with the Jazz next season, and instead chose to become any player after the season in order to get a bigger contract.

What is this not a backtrack? Is it worth it for a big contract?

Boozer's appearance is undoubtedly disgusting to the old Sloane, even if he has excellent cultivation, he can't help but have some bad feelings for Boozer, sometimes it's easy to have a bad impression of a person, Boozer because of this wrong decision, greatly reduced his status in Sloane's heart.

The old coach Sloan is even thinking about whether he should put Boozer on the shelf?

After the Lakers got the Spanish interior Pau Gasol, their combat effectiveness more than doubled, and they were directly promoted to the championship team, as evidenced by last year's championship trophy!

Look at the Lakers' interior lineup, Pau Gasol, "Little Shark" Bynum, and even an Odom who will make a cameo appearance on the inside from time to time, such a two-tower lineup gives the old coach Sloan a bit of a headache.

It seems that it is time to put Boozer on the shelf, the team needs a reliable interior pillar, and Boozer has not been able to adapt to the team's lineup.

Al Jefferson? It looks good, but he won't be too willing to give up the boss position in Memphis!

This year's champion Griffin? It's good, although this season's season is reimbursed, but his physical fitness is over there, if he takes the opportunity to replace him, it's not bad, but will the Clippers agree to release him?

…………

Thinking about it, Sloan had a little headache, after all, he was old, and this kind of troublesome thing still needed to be considered for a long time, and he couldn't get a good result for a while.

"Delon, pass the ball more, I know you're in good shape tonight, but the team needs you, you need to sacrifice for the rest of the team, give up too many shots to give your teammates more shots, or we'll suffer a heavy defeat at home tonight!"

"Boozer, strengthen your defense, don't leak any more people, Andre has done enough, he's not your babysitter, I need you to be tougher on the defensive end!" The old handsome Sloan still had a bowl of water flat, and for the sake of tonight's victory, he held back the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Boozer snorted lightly and said secretly: You don't have to pass the ball to me, it's good to be like this earlier, I have to give you eye medicine from the old man!

The little fat man Delong's face darkened, his lips squirmed as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up, nodded a little disappointedly, and obeyed the head coach's orders.
