155 Death War Sir
There was a sense of slaughter on the basketball court!
In recent years, there have been several pairs of rivals in the West: Jazz and Rockets, Suns and Spurs, Jazz and Lakers. Today, although the Jazz are not fighting their rivals, they are still ambitious in the face of the current Western Conference boss. If this team can be overturned, if they can trample their corpses fiercely, then their position in the west will immediately be more than a star and a half!
Before the game began, everyone on the Jazz team in the locker room was afraid to come out, and they were all listening to Sloan's orders.
There are no real superstars, no gorgeous performances, but inadvertently, the Jazz have climbed to the upper reaches of the league, and they have made Jazz fans vaguely look at the eventful years of the 90s of the last century.
In the 90s, the Bulls' triangle offensive tactics were famous and shocked the world, but the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics were also unguardable and became a classic that fans often recalled. Jerry. Sloan wasn't the inventor of pick-and-roll tactics, but he did turn them into classics. In those glorious years, Malone and Stockton performed countless classic pick-and-roll combinations. For a while, the Jazz became synonymous with pick-and-roll tactics. Some people even said that the Jazz team reached the finals with a block and dismantling tactic.
Sometimes, simple tricks are more effective than flashy. Sometimes, simplicity can become a classic. In the new season, the Jazz team has a brilliant record, which is inseparable from Sloan's efforts. Sloan is still sticking with his pick-and-roll play. Delong. The tie-up between Williams and Buze is reminiscent of Malone and Stockton. The jazz-style "classic blocking" has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
The Suns are going to face such a team that has returned to glory today.
Zhang Chen If he wants to prove his All-Star strength in front of such a team, he must also put in more effort, Sloan's offensive and defensive systems are a relatively tight whole, he can mobilize the team's strength to make the opponent's offense more difficult, on the offensive end, DeLong and Boozer's blocking will make many teams feel headaches.
"Zhang Chen -- a rookie from the far west coast of the Pacific Ocean!" After DJ appeared on the street, Zhang Chen trotted into the middle of the court, and then, the swarm of cheers quickly drowned him out.
The lights over the stadium flickered and brightened, and the voices of the spectators were overwhelming, rolling like waves.
In this arena full of basketball glory, Zhang Chen is about to embark on the journey again!
ββββThe middle circle of the jump ball began, and the two long figures of the jump ball continued to rise in the air, and after a while, one hand first slapped the basketball that was rolling in the sky, and then slapped it down.
The trajectory of the basketball happened to come to Zhang Chen, and of course Zhang Chen was not polite at all, and held the basketball in his arms.
As soon as he hugged the basketball, a figure immediately rushed up, he was a rookie in '06 and now a sophomore Ronnie. Brewer, he has the same height and strong physical fitness as Zhang Chen, and sending him to defend Zhang Chen is also a reaction and adjustment made by the Jazz team in order to prevent Zhang Chen's firepower point and get a greater chance of winning.
Brewer's defensive judgment is pretty good, and he is a good player to defend the perimeter a lot of the time.
Zhang Chen turned to one side, letting go of the guy's intention to pull the ball directly into his arms, and then turned around, and the basketball appeared on the other side of his body and passed to Nash's hand. Nash let go of Deron's first judgment and slowly pressed towards the half court with a solid crotch dribble.
De Xiaopang and Nash were entangled and ran towards the half, they Nash had been using his gorgeous ball control skills to prevent possible steals from the opponent, and at the same time, his speed gradually increased, and he slowly passed the half. The two men were deadlocked on the outside of the three-point line, and Nash put away the basketball, raised it above his head, and began to look for his teammates.
It's just that now the Jazz are quite concerned about defending the Suns, and they use the attention between Boozer and Bill Sapp to guard Xiaosi, preventing him from receiving passes easily, and several other firepower points are also seen dead by the opponent. Now only Zhang Chen and Brewer, who had just come back from there, were left behind, and Brewer was also blocking in front of Zhang Chen, his footsteps happened to be blocked on Zhang Chen's forward route, and Zhang Chen's speed slowed down for a while.
Nash gave Zhang Chen a look, and Zhang Chen accelerated towards the outside line knowingly.
Brewer naturally immediately followed Zhang Chen, he opened his hands and blocked the range of Zhang Chen's catch that he could block. Seeing this, Zhang Chen ran towards Nash, and Brewer was puzzled, but he immediately followed and sped up his speed.
Zhang Chen was still running, and soon came to Nash's face, and the moment he was about to hit him, Zhang Chen immediately changed direction and rushed past Nash's right, and at the same time, Nash's pass also appeared in Zhang Chen's hand just right.
Brewer ran too fast and plunged into Nash's arms, Nash pushed him away, and at this moment, Zhang Chen had already rushed to the moment when Brewer didn't have time to defend and the others didn't have time to make up for the defense.
"Huh!" Now that no one in front of him has time to defend himself, Zhang Chendi's shooting is unparalleled, and after completing a set of preparatory actions for the shooting, the basketball is firmly hollow into the net.
Zhang Chen opened the three-pointer for the Suns, and the Jazz's first defensive setup was interrupted by a three-point jumper from a covering by Zhang Chen, and the Jazz also trailed by three points.
Brewer glanced at Zhang Chen, saw the quiet expression on his face, and slowly retreated to the half court to participate in the attack. He's a player with unusually flashy ball handling skills, and he even has the ball control skills of a point guard, but sadly, the coach clearly doesn't like him doing that. So, it's more important for him to score under the team's system now.
In the audience, a player in the number six jersey said to a man in the number 13 shirt next to him, "Hey Peter, I said we couldn't miss this gorgeous game, you see, we hit a thrilling three-pointer at the beginning!" Tatsu's performance is pretty beautiful! β
The man next to him nodded approvingly: "After Tatsu entered the alliance, Steve had a very trustworthy outside partner, and he was able to do a lot of things. β
"Do you think he has what it takes to be an All-Star?"
"That's nature! I think he could play in the main event instead of that rookie challenge! β
"I agree too, look at it, our rookie shines so brightly!"
ββββOffensive and defensive transition, DeLong wore a black jersey, slowly controlled the ball, and approached the halfcourt, his ball control skills are relatively solid, coupled with a strong body, Nash's defensive black hole level player basically can't pose much threat to him.
Although this is only 2008, the two rookies from '05 have now found their place, Paul led the Hornets to the West, and Delon also led the Jazz out of the encirclement, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Delon took a tentative step forward with Nash on his shoulder, then quickly followed with his other leg, and then his shoulder pushed Nash out, pushing him back slightly. Taking advantage of this time and air strikes, Delong was full of tigers and tigers at his feet, and rushed into the interior line with an acceleration.
Seeing Delon crushed in like a bulldozer, the Suns inside line looked at this guy's performance, and a group of people opened their hands to withstand the impact from this person.
Delon drew the attention of the two men, and Boozer sped to the 45-degree angle of the basket.
Delon jumped high and then took advantage of the Suns' interior defense to give the basketball to Boozer.
Boozer made a layup to complete the offense, and the margin was 3:2.
The score alternated unhurriedly, and the Jazz, perhaps because of the away challenge, didn't get into the groove right away, and were more of a tentative attack. The Suns also turned on their own firepower, but under the Jazz's defense, a lot of their firepower turned into iron.
The scores were in a scorching state, and now the first quarter of the game has entered the fourth minute, the score is 11-13, and the Suns are two points behind, but now it is their possession.
Nash once again played the role of commander of the midfield, slowly advancing the ball into the halfcourt, seeing the Jazz players in front of him slowly react, and then watching the defenders individually.
It's better for them to score this goal, otherwise they will fall behind the Jazz, and at that time, if the Jazz take the opportunity to play a wave of **, the Suns will not be able to parry. If this ball can be scored, it will be a tie, so Nash is more cautious about this ball, slowly controlling the ball while observing the position of the players on both sides, and he also has to guard against things like tentative dropping from Delon.
The point guard on the basketball court is the commander of the moment, they are the brains of a team.
It's just that the Jazz's defense is quite swift now, and they use active positioning to defend the players opposite them. For a while, Nash really didn't find a flaw, but at this time he also saw Zhang Chen.
Now, Nash sometimes feels a little bit like he's becoming dependent on Zhang Chen, and whenever the team's offense is deadlocked, he can't help but think of Zhang Chen, the guy who can often shoot incredible goals.
Zhang Chen just missed a three-pointer, and seeing that the two teams were once again tense, the Suns once again had to engage in a white-knuckle battle with each other, calculating the gains and losses of one city and one pool in the position. Zhang Chen started to run, and he knew that he could always do something for the team at this time.
With the help of Nash and Bale, Zhang Chen quickly interspersed through the gap between the two people, seeing that the front was empty, and the distance between him and Nash was about three meters, and the two could communicate with each other by passing.
Nash saw Zhang Chen run out of his seat and immediately passed the basketball over, and at this time he naturally believed in Zhang Chen unreservedly.
However, at the last moment when the basketball was about to reach Zhang Chen's hands, in the oblique stab, Brewer suddenly bypassed Nash and Bell, quickly interspersed with Zhang Chen's side, and reached out without thinking about it, breaking the ball.
"Attack!" DeLong saw Brewer steal the ball and yelled loudly, and then he was already running towards the half-court, and soon came to the halfway line. Brewer also threw his own pass out, allowing Deron to receive it and complete a fast break with his teammate.
At 11:15, the Suns were already four points behind.
Nash hurriedly raised his hand to signal that it was his fault, but Zhang Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, being robbed by Brewer, Nash would have some concerns in his heart when he passed the ball to him again, and the guy in front of him was quite fast, and the steal was in an instant, which was very difficult to prevent.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen frowned slightly.
Sure enough, the next ball came over, Nash did not let Zhang Chen catch the ball, but passed the basketball to Xiao Si on the inside, but unfortunately it may not be the time for the Suns Feng Shui to turn, Xiao Si's jumper at the same distance deviated from the basket and flew out and was tightly hugged by Boozer.
The players on both sides quickly began to retreat to the Jazz's half, and then, DeLong passed the basketball to Brewer, who was opposite Zhang Chen.
Brewer's eyes were very calm and controlled the ball at Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen glanced at this guy's ball control skills, and his pupils shrank in an instant! Brewer's ball-handling skills are too good, not much better than some point guards in the league. With the support of such ball-control skills, Brewer slowly approached Zhang Chen step by step.
Of course, Zhang Chen couldn't go to pick up the ball, so he had to try his best to keep up with him.
After Brewer made two consecutive crotch drops, one of the successive shoulders shook, making Zhang Chen doubt his direction, and at the same time Zhang Chen also doubted the direction of his possession, this doubt quickly spread to his center of gravity, Brewer seized this fleeting time and stabbed into the inside.
Zhang Chen could barely follow him with six levels of speed, but after Brewer put away the basketball, he staggered Zhang Chen's defense with a jump, and then his body was already jumping high.
"Layup!" The Suns players exclaimed at the same time.
Xiao Si roared and climbed into the sky, slapping his palm down on him.
It was at this point that Brewer let the basketball go around Xiao Si and then tossed it high, and he himself stumbled through the air.
"Bang!" Like a ghost, Boozer suddenly appeared in the sky, about a meter above the ground, received a pass from Breuer, and then smashed it into the basket.
"Roar! - Boozer roared as he threw himself up to the sky and slammed his chest into Brewer in celebration.
Zhang Chen felt a little frustrated in his heart, he didn't expect him to let that Brewer dodge the defense of two people in a row so easily, and then assist Boozer to hit a slam dunk in the air relay!
The basket was still trembling slightly, and Brewer had a smile on his lips before running back towards half court.
The score was 17:11, and the Jazz had an instant six-point lead.
"Drop!" The whistle blew and the Suns took a timeout.
