Chapter 125: Going to the Utah Jazz

The interview with the court Wutai lasted for about two hours, and everyone's perception of Liang Xiao was very good, for this nineteen-year-old young man not only has the wisdom to go to the society but also the unique vitality of this young man, in Han Dazui's view, this young man does not look like nineteen years old at all, when he is thirty-nine years old, it is difficult to see that Liang Xiao is a person who entered the world's highest basketball professional league after graduating from high school, and he has a deep energy in his heart.

didn't care about Han Dazui's doubts in their hearts, and finally Liang Xiao took a group photo with Han Dazui and the staff of the imperial court Wutai, Han Dazui also invited Liang Xiao and Cheng Weiwei to have lunch together, but Liang Xiao refused, with the experience of the last time, Liang Xiao looked at these people in the society differently, although this is the imperial court Wutai, and the monk can't run the temple, but Liang Xiao still didn't choose to go,

It's just that when he finally left, Liang Xiao said to Han Dazui: "Host Han, I promise us that there will be many opportunities in the future, this time there is really no time, tomorrow our Knicks will go to Utah to play against the Jazz, so I will thank you for today's kindness, if you come to New York at that time, I will be the east, what luxury super five-star will not go, but it is absolutely guaranteed that you will return satisfied." Liang Xiao is purely sleek in clothes, and Han Dazui can only laugh haha,

When he went to another time with Da Yao, Da Yao was very grateful to Liang Xiao, saying that the next time Liang Xiao went to Houston to play, he would definitely try the home-cooked food made by Yao's mother, Liang Xiao also said very politely, he would definitely bother when the time came, and he hadn't eaten home-cooked food for a long time.

Liang Xiao and Cheng Weiwei hastily paid tribute to the Five Organs Temple in a restaurant at noon, Cheng Weiwei reminded Liang Xiao to shoot the relevant advertisements next time she took a break, and now many things are solved by Cheng Weiwei to help her, as long as you concentrate on playing well, it is the right way.

Liang Xiao returned to the training hall for training, now Liang Xiao's playing time will only be more and more, Van Gundy's trust in him is also more and more, as if he is the team's sixth man trend, now he can be on par with Liang Xiao is Anderson, although Liang Xiao also has a certain idea in his heart in the starting position, but considering the reality, Van Gundy will definitely not change easily, what Liang Xiao has to do is to use more time to prove himself,

On November 22, 2002, Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, USA, will stage an NBA matchup, and the Jazz will play at home against the New York Knicks.

The home court of the Jazz is definitely a devil's home court for other teams, Utah is composed of mountains, plateaus and a desert formed by the Great Salt Lake, and Salt Lake City is located on the Colorado Plateau, where the low pressure and lack of oxygen will cause the players to play poorly, and all the players have not trained in this environment for a long time, and it is difficult to adapt.

Liang Xiao felt a little chest tightness during training, and he had to rest seriously for a period of time after half an hour of training, which made Liang Xiao really helpless, although it was much better than when he arrived in Salt Lake City, but this altitude sickness was still affecting his state all the time, and Liang Xiao had never been on the plateau since he was born.

Sprewell smiled next to him and said, "You guy is really not good, if you keep being in this state, can you play well at night." As he spoke, he dribbled to the basket, Liang Xiao could only keep scolding behind him, do you think everyone is like you, the body is perverted, normal people like us are really incomparable,

Van Gundy did not emphasize too much on the team's training, the players were expected to be in this state under the plateau, the team's trainers have long reacted to this situation, fortunately not all players are this kind of reaction, many players have slowly adapted to it, only a few people have symptoms and have not been relieved, otherwise, the game has not started to lose the game,

Liang Xiao slowly recovered while communicating with Sprewell on the sidelines, the two kept talking about the previous game, Liang Xiao was thinking about whether the first few dunks could be included in the top ten balls of the week, Sprewell said with certainty, Liang Xiao deducted the champion of Da Yao, and he would definitely go in, and there was a kind of banter in the words, Liang Xiao could only smile bitterly, thinking that you guy is purely basing his happiness on the pain of others.

In the slow adjustment, coupled with the help of the team's team doctor and trainer, Liang Xiao's state has been well recovered, Liang Xiao watched the Jazz game video in the locker room, waiting for the start of this game.

The Jazz team is very familiar with Liang Xiaolai, in the previous life, Da Yao's Rockets team would always encounter this fierce Jazz team, several playoffs, the Rockets were killed by the Jazz, Maddie is always depressed when facing the Jazz, even in the final hard battle to the seventh inning, there is no way to break through the first round, the Rockets often like to collapse in the fourth quarter,

The Jazz, led by the famous coach Sloan, has always been able to implement Sloan's ideas well and execute orders like an army, which is rare in the NBA There are few such teams, the main thing is that Sloan is definitely a key figure for the Jazz, and the prestige accumulated in the Jazz during his years of coaching career is definitely not a joke, and Sloan's experience is not comparable to any coach.

The Jazz team can be said to be inseparable from Sloan, from Sloan to the Jazz to the end of 2011, a total of more than 20 seasons in the Jazz, leading the first black and white combination composed of Carl Malone and John Stockton to the later Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams, in the league are all teams that can dominate one side, Jerry Sloan has coached the Jazz since 1986 and has reached the playoffs for 17 consecutive seasons. This kind of coaching career is something that any coach should be amazed at when he sees it, let alone a thousand wins in a team and the record of the longest time in the same team in the four major professional leagues in the United States, which can be recorded in the history of the NBA league.

Sloan was a very brilliant player when he was a player, two All-Stars, four NBA All-Defensive All-Defensive Team, two-time All-Defensive Second Team, it can be said that he relied on his defense, resilience and courage in exchange for countless glory, he is one of the 18 people in NBA history who have been selected for the best defense at least four times, and few players can break this record, in 2009, Sloan was inducted into the NBA's Hall of Fame, which is the best recognition for Sloan,

Sloan also brought his toughness and courage to the Jazz, and implemented the concept of overall basketball in the team, many coaches are helpless against this overall basketball, plus the classic blocking and dismantling of guards and forwards, it is also a big killer in the league, and a number of tactics have evolved, which makes the opponent a headache.

In his previous life, Liang Xiao had the most intuitive feeling, Delon and Boozer did not make any mistakes in the face of Da Yao and Maddy's Rockets, although Da Yao was much taller than Boozer, but Boozer obviously became a Da Yao terminator under the leadership of Sloan, and the Jazz team also became the Rockets' terminators, and many people did not have too much hope for the Rockets in the playoffs between the Rockets and the Jazz, because the Jazz were really too familiar with the Rockets.

The current Knicks are under the leadership of Van Gundy, and the current Jazz are under the leadership of Sloan, will such a collision be staged in the previous life of the Rockets and Jazz, Liang Xiao really has no bottom in his heart, the team with Van Gundy is tough defensively, but the team with Sloan is absolutely fierce, every time the Rockets and Jazz face each other in the previous life, they are staged hand-to-hand combat, and there is a concept among the Jazz generals that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that is, the more important the game, the players must play stronger," Our players are all fighting on the pitch. Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said, "Everybody is pretty much on the court and has hand-to-hand fights, but it's a lot of fun, and if you don't like it, you can go home." "This shows that even a small soldier can pull a superstar off the horse in the Jazz.

Now Liang Xiao is just constantly watching the Jazz game in the locker room, although this kind of game is different from the previous life, but the iron-blooded style is still integrated in Sloan's team, in the previous life, Liang Xiao looked at the combination of Deron and Boozer, and now what he sees is a combination with greater lethality in the league, "black and white", the combination of Malone and Stockton, although they are not far from leaving the Jazz team now, but it is still there,

The Jazz relied on black and white to stir up the storm in the league, and kept one team out of the championship in the playoffs for many years, even if it had a strong lineup, but in the era of the Flyer Jordan, the Jazz did not get much benefit, and in 97 and 98, the Jazz reached the height of the Finals, but they met the Bulls with Jordan and Pippen, and they all went home,

At that time, there was also a legend that if the head coach of that team was from which parent team, the team he led would definitely lose the game against the parent team, and this curse was not eliminated in Sloan's body like many curses in the league, and in the two finals against the Bulls he once played, Sloan was defeated, so that Sloan's thousand-win coach never won a championship ring in later generations.
