111. Price
In the 1983 draft, the Jazz picked out 6-foot-11-inch, NBA-tall Sixth Man in NBA history and Joe Sule Bailey, an alumnus of North Carolina State University, in the first round, and Bobby Hansen, a guard in the third round. After nine failed seasons, the team finally had its 10th year of success when the team finished top of the Midwest with a 45-37 record under the precocious Pele, who were plagued by injuries and starless but still made the playoffs.
The Jazz's rush is 21 years, in these 21 years, they have never left the playoffs, relying on the black and white double to kill Malone and Stockton, this team has always made the league fearful, even the bad boy army in its prime, seeing the overlord born on this plateau has to fight three points.
In the past 21 years, the Jazz team has gathered a group of tough guys with iron bones, and they have fought in the league with the tough style of highland men. Malone and Stockton are both gentlemen off the pitch, and under the leadership of the two, the team has been running a healthy spurt.
Sloan stood on the side of the court and recalled the past, his thin face as if carved out of an axe, with a cold sense of vicissitudes. He looked up at the jersey fluttering above the pitch with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, on which a No. 7 shirt and a No. 12 shirt were like flags.
The Jazz, who held the iron-blooded banner, never got the chance to be crowned the emperor, and this team is like an eagle, roaring in the sky and flying against the wind.
"21 seasons, 21 seasons..." Sloan muttered, his eyes slowly darkening, the playoff record may be over, and although they are only half a win behind the Denver at the moment, they will become one after today. He's a man who understands, and the Detroit Pistons have made it clear to him that there's a gap, and Wajburn is like a combination of Malone and Stockton, and he can carry the burden of a team's core.
No one bothered Sloane, this was the majesty of a famous coach, and at the same time, the team's veteran players were also pondering, how could they not be sad that they had the glory days of having Stockton and Malone, and that glory days would soon come to an end?
Mr. Years, you're going too fast. Looking at Maravich's No. 7 jersey and Stockton's No. 12 jersey over the field, I don't know how many fans at the scene are so emotional.
Brown is also lamenting that when he first entered the NBA as a head coach, Sloan was his role model, and this military-turned-iron coach used to make him feel like a mountain, but today, he can decide whether to let this mountain continue to stand.
Why? Eyes back to the beginning of April.
On April 1, the Eastern Conference boss Pacers faced the Rockets, and under the joint attack of O'Neal Jr. and Artest, the team bloodlessly killed the Rockets who had just had a little revival idea. A day later, the team faced the 76ers in the same location, and O'Neal Jr. once again toppled the 76ers on the inside, destroying the 76ers' restricted area in one fell swoop and leading the team to a big win again.
At this point, the Pacers only have five games left, and at this time, the Pistons and Pacers still maintain a three-win gap, unless the Pacers lose all the remaining games and the Pistons win all the remaining games, the Indiana people's league first is decided.
"That's the way it is, if we grit our teeth and win the remaining five games, and God makes the Indianas unlucky lose all of them, we can overtake the score and become the first in the league, otherwise, we will have to accept the second place in the East." Brown gave everyone a brief introduction to the situation, "You decide, how are the rest of the games going to be played?" ”
"One more win counts." Mirisic said in a daze.
Billups glanced at him and scolded angrily: "Rookie, you are a rookie!" What is the regular season? Any idea what is after ten days? Playoffs! That's the real battle of bayonets! We have to maintain enough stamina, and it is not worth it for the sake of an ethereal No. 1 ranking in the East. ”
Hamilton also agreed with Billups, and Rashid thought about it and agreed, "The championship, only the championship is the most important. ”
Huaben was reading a newspaper about playoff speculation, and he looked at the Jazz players, rubbed his chin and said, "Guys, do you know who cares most about the results of these games right now?" ”
"Isn't it us? We're going to take the first place. Mirisic continues to play the role of a stunned young man.
Hua Ben also gave him a blank look, threw the newspaper to Mirisic and said, "Wrong, it's Judah and Denver!" These two teams are only half a win away, and whoever can lead the rest of the game will make it to the playoffs! ”
"What does that have to do with us?" Rashid was also stunned.
Hua Ben showed a hideous sneer on his face, nodded and said, "It has a relationship, of course it has a relationship!" I was so upset that the Nuggets rookie dared to openly isolate Darko in the All-Star team, what a guts, he thought he was Isaiah Thomas? ”
There is an allusion involved here, in the 1984 All-Star Game, in order to make rookie Jordan "put away his arrogance", famous stars such as the smiling assassin and the magic man collectively implemented an isolation policy for Jordan, not only rarely passing the ball to Jordan (controlled by the assassins), but also teaming up with Jordan to play Jordan this point (controlled by the magic) when attacking on the inside of the West, and teammates did not come up to make up for the defense. As a result, Jordan scored a measly six points on just nine shots in the 22 minutes he played.
The most pitiful thing is that Jordan didn't know that he was "played" after the game, thinking that he was a rookie and his skills were not as good as others, until the media exposed the matter, Jordan suddenly realized. Annoyed and angry, he swore at the time that he would never forgive Thomas and others for the rest of his life, not including magicians who were more famous than Jordan at the time.
Jordan did it, he and the assassin still met and fought, and the two used to fight many times during the game, of course, the tall gang leader suffered a lot of losses, but the assassin mixed up on the street, which further intensified the conflict between the two.
The Assassins paid the price, and in 1992, when the United States formed the first "Dream Team" of NBA superstars to participate in the Olympic Games, people were surprised to find that his name was not on the list, and the Assassins were a guy that even Stockton was afraid of. As for the reason, we all know it now, when Jordan saw his name and smiling assassin in the guard when the first list came out, he immediately rushed to the basketball association with a tough attitude and said that there was no him, and I didn't have him, forcing the American Basketball Association to give up the best organizational guard in the world at that time (you say magic? The magician accidentally killed JJ when he was playing 2,000 people at that time).
"So..." Brown saw what Huaben meant.
"It's time for the people of Denver to pay, release the water! Release water today! We're going to let the Utah win, and I'm going to show that Denver kid knows how bad it is to offend us in Detroit! Waben said through gritted teeth.
Mirisic almost burst into tears when he heard this, he squirmed his lips to say something, and finally stomped his foot vigorously and whispered, "Damn, I'll let everyone know I'm good in the playoffs." ”
Billups said helplessly: "If Denver wins, then we will still release the water in vain, this is not the battle of Tianwang Mountain." ”
Hua Ben shook his head with a smile, pointed to the west and said: "At this time, the Denver people are challenging the Timberwolves in Minnesota, I called Kevin before, and he will greet this dead boy well." ”
"You're so bad." Hamilton laughed, and Rashid chewed on the gum thoughtfully, not saying anything.
In this way, the outcome of one game was set, and Brown finally made the decision, this back-to-back swing, and both games were used to train the newcomers, and of course, the remaining three games were the same.
Sloan watched the Pistons five Tigers come on the court solemnly, his brain was spinning wildly, and various tactics appeared in his mind one after another. As a result, after five minutes of the game, the Pistons five Tigers will go off the court at the same time, and since then, these five people have never appeared on the court at the same time.
Although the Jazz are not as good as before, the lethality of the starting lineup is still considerable, especially against the bench where the Pistons are not very good.
Originally, under Sloan's strict instructions, Bell, AK-47, Arroyo and his party waited to fight a bitter battle to defend their dignity. But when this bitter battle began, they were shocked to find that the opponent's fierce male division in armor and sword did not intend to fight at all, and they were just practicing cooperation there, whether attacking or defending, they did not fight very seriously.
So, at the end of the game, the Jazz were surprised to find that they had won, 98-91, and they had suppressed the score of this recent offensive team to less than 100 points.
Brown shook hands with Sloan after the game with a spring breeze on his face, and Tie Shuai's thin face was full of consternation, you have preserved your physical strength too early, right? Brown, of course, won't tell him that the news came from Minnesota just now that the Timberwolves won 108-85 and that their goal was achieved.
Then Sloan was also in a state of flux, as he also received the news that half of their victory against the Denver was reversed, and now they were in the lead.
After the loss to the Jazz, the Pistons rushed to Dallas non-stop.
Hua Ben didn't plan to continue to release water in this game, the goal of hitting Denver has been achieved, and he still has to accumulate points to prepare for the playoffs and finals.
The Mavericks are currently fifth in the West, and they are four wins away from the fourth-place Kings, and no matter how hard they try, they will not change the rankings. After watching the game between the Pistons and the Jazz, Mavericks coach Nelson Sr. made an instruction: recuperate and prepare for the playoffs, and the Pistons will definitely not send the main lineup in this game.
According to Brown's meaning, it's really like this, what to spell? Anyway, the second position in the east is iron-clad and unchanged. Wajben respected the old coach's opinion, but he demanded that he have to play 40 minutes, and his reason was, "I'm so energetic right now!" ”
Half an hour after saying this, a phone call came: "Ben, I want to ask you for a favor, is that okay?" ”
