Chapter 100: AK's Marking
Even though he had already made preparations, when he stepped into the energy solution center, Li Chen couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and a buzzing sound like a buzz resounded throughout the audience, and people with poor mental health were likely to faint directly in the face of this environment.
However, for Li Chen, after nearly a season of training, he has already adapted to the away culture of the league's teams, counting the league's 33 teams, in addition to the Lakers, his favorites are Madison Garden in New York and Pepsi Center in Denver, the former is almost his home field, and the latter has always been very friendly to the Big Apple because of Anthony's relationship.
The Toyota Center in Houston is also good in Li Chen's opinion, although it is not to the point of friendliness, but at least the fans there are basically quiet, so that the away players in it are not too uncomfortable.
In addition to the above places, the rest are basically what Li Chen hates, and there are three places that are the most prosperous, one is the North Shore Garden in Boston, the sworn enemy of the Lakers, not explained, especially the experience of beating the Lakers last season makes them seem unbeatable.
The other place is Detroit, and although the Motor City has long since lost its bustling scene, their fans are still as rogue as ever, and the most famous brawl in league history, the Auburn Hills Palace Incident, is their masterpiece. Thinking back to the past, when the players and fans mingled, and the bench and Coke were all kinds of flying lively scenes, we have to sigh that today's league is really missing the kind of blood that it was back then.
The last one left is the Lakers' opponent this time, the Jazz's home energy solution center, although the name is awkward, but it is the league's famous devil's home court, Denver's devil only has a share in front of them, and Utah is notoriously xenophobic, basically any team in the league will not have a good end here, Li Chen doesn't like it here.
The game officially started in a noisy atmosphere, and Li Chen didn't even hear the referee's whistle. Even he, a bystander, is like this, so you can imagine how sad Bynum will be when he jumps the ball in the center circle. An Zhu's immature mind has always been criticized, and this time there was no exception, under the terrifying pressure of Jazz fans, he made a mistake in jumping the ball, and the bald anti-bone boy fought for the ball.
DeLong is holding the ball in his hands, his technique is not very flashy, but at least he has a very solid control of the ball, especially with his body that has been a wrestler, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to break the ball from his hand.
Fisher is basically blown up against most point guards in the league, and Chubby Dun, one of the 06 twin stars, has no reason not to be in the ranks of most point guards. However, it may be because of the need for stability in the first attack, DeLong still sacrificed the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics that Sloan taught him.
The super anti-bone boy pulled to the high position to block and dismantle, although Gasol knew what the consequences would be, but he still had to run out with the opponent.
Delon burst down Boozer's body, and Gasol misplaced to make up the defense. Because his sister-in-law is not an ordinary colored pen insider, Delong still handed the ball to Boozer who had a more secure opportunity after thinking about it, and with the physical fitness of the old fish, I believe everyone can predict the story afterward.
Ignoring Fisher's presence, he won the shot in the anti-bone boy. Although the old fish has also been with the Jazz for a while, Sloan doesn't look like a person who will miss the old love, since the old fish can exist on the court as the weakest name of the Lakers, then he should always be ready to be blown up.
"Hey, it's this trick again"! This is what the neutral and opposing spectators think after seeing the ball. This is not the case with the Jazz die-hard fans, who think the opposite, "yes, this is the trick!" Maybe there will be a sentence added after it, "Haha, the classics never get tired of watching" or something like that.
As a member of the Lakers, Li Chen is obviously not interested in the Jazz's blocking and demolition tactics for more than ten years, especially as a Rockets fan in his previous life, he has watched the Rockets want to die under the Jazz's tactics over and over again, and this is how resentment arises.
The Russian looked at Li Chen who was glaring at him very depressed, he thought to himself that he hadn't done anything to this guy, and with his usual style of conduct and the situation of a marginal person who seemed to be the biggest card in Jazz, Li Chen's attitude was completely unreasonable, and the puzzled AK fell into deep thought, he wondered if he had crossed paths with the Big Apple before.
It is obviously intolerable to make this kind of mistake on the basketball court, just now, taking advantage of the hesitant opportunity of the Russians, Li Chen broke through very decisively, Kirilenko did not react in a hurry and did not keep up, although he interfered with the ball before the big apple made a quick stop, but he still inevitably sent a foul, and the Lakers made two free throws.
Two free throws and one hit, Li Chen's free throws were still as bad as usual, but the old Sloan did not intend to ignore the stupid mistakes of the Russians, he looked at Kirilenko on the court with cold eyes, his eyes were sharp and terrifying.
There are always such and such stars in the NBA, and the team deserves to get rid of everything that stands in the way for him, just like Iverson, Kobe, and James today, and similarly, there is such a figure in the Jazz, but not the player, but the head coach - Jerry Sloan.
This [***] old fellow has shown the people by his practical actions that whoever works under him has no choice but to respectfully show his obedience to him and wait for his tactical dispatch. Knowing that the old guy was not easy to deal with, AK didn't dare to disobey the other party's intentions, and he didn't even dare to look into Sloan's eyes.
Although the Russian seems to be the biggest player in the Jazz, his actual status with the highest salary is far less than his top salary. As for the reason why he was kicked out of the core group by Sloan, it is rumored that it is because he is not dark enough. But even so, AK decided to follow the old guy's will.
In the Jazz's next offense, Kirilenko quickly got a chance through his off-ball run, and after cutting in, he assisted CJ Myers to hit a mid-range shot, and the Jazz scored two points.
As one of the league's best off-ball runners, AK is very good at using team tactics to get rid of markers by running and covering. Because of its height and physical fitness, it often causes the opponent to mismatch the defense. In the face of defenders who are shorter than themselves, AK47 will generally hold the ball and eat hard.
The breakthrough with the ball is direct and neat, without any superfluous movements. He is definitely a player who plays the ball for a short period of time, and if he can't find an attacking opportunity, he will immediately give the ball to his teammates. Players with solid basic skills, threats outside the three-point line, good stability in the mid-range shot, and players who must not be ignored by the opposing defense.
And Kirilenko's ability to attack twice after grabbing offensive rebounds is also very commendable, of course, this is inseparable from his physical fitness. Although thin, he definitely has strength, and with an arm span of 228cm, he can almost make offensive players feel illusion when he opens his hands. The bones are super tough, he is not afraid of any kind of physical confrontation, and his physical fitness is almost the best among white people.
Since he has such a good physical talent, AK's defensive strength must not be ignored, and indeed, the Russians let the Lakers' Big Apple feel a suffocating defense from AK47 in the next game.
"Say, how do you fight this!" Looking at Kirilenko standing in front of him, as well as his super-long ape arms that had not yet been fully extended, Li Chen was not optimistic about his next attack, although he had studied the Russians' defense of Kobe Bryant as a spectator as a spectator before the previous games, but when it was time to really face it in person, he really realized the difficulty of the opponent.
Li Chen knew that if he remembered correctly, then AK's blocking ability was at the top of the 99 level in the game he played, and you must know that among so many players, only Big Ben and AK reached this value.
The former is understandably the top interior and muscle stick in the NBA, but the latter has such a block level with a physique that is almost comparable to that of a swing man, and the terrifying level can be imagined.
People are generally willing to call the word horror for AK's defensive level, and this kind of hype is by no means unreasonable. AK47 is always present in the path of the ball, using its long reach and exceptional physicality to snatch the ball. Never try to be taller than AK, he's not afraid of any type of player.
The block is clean and rarely plagued by fouls. Whether it's on the front or side, the AK47 can always cover the ball at the highest point, which shows his inspiration for the path of the ball. He will take advantage of his teammates' defenses and jump up from behind his teammates to cover the ball. The defense is in place, the steals are resolute, and they are becoming more and more ruthless under Sloan's training. He's the kind of defender who can cast a psychological shadow on the opposing team.
Li Chen remembered that he was covered by AK in the first few games, when Kirilenko's main task was to keep an eye on Kobe, and Li Chen only took care of it in passing. Someone thought he was going to score at the time, but AK was stunned and slapped the ball down, almost hitting the handsome face that Li Chen was proud of, and it was precisely because of this unusual experience that he had always been apprehensive about AK's defense.
Before, it was just a supplemental defense, but this time it was a marking, the two were almost not an order of magnitude, Li Chen suddenly felt the pressure doubled, but fortunately, the special experience of the last game gave him a shot in the arm, and even the bag clip was passed, so AK's marking was basically within the range of tolerance.
Shooting is impossible, after all, Li Chen is not superior to his height and bounce arm span, especially AK's block is basically rarely fouled, and the result of not even guaranteeing free throws makes Li Chen decisively give up the stupid idea of showing shooting skills in front of AK. Fortunately, the Big Apple is not useless other than shooting, and his passing skills are just as good.
There is no need to be tricky, Li Chen just passed the ball out so straight, although AK is powerful, he is not invincible, otherwise he would not be kicked out of the inner circle by Sloan. In the face of a player like Li Chen, who has a hand in shooting and passing, anyone will inevitably have a little entanglement, especially the breakthrough level of the Big Apple, which is also good for height, and AK is even more difficult to do.
Ariza received the ball, he still had an advantage in front of CJ Myers, after a forced break, Ariza entered the inside, although the shot was wide after that, but Bynum hit the basket very well, and the Lakers' twin towers still had a significant advantage in pure physical confrontation. Oku has a hand to defend Yao Ming, but it is a little difficult to let him defend against Bynum, and the key is that An Zhu is more flexible than him.
The old monk on the bench nodded, Li Chen's performance made him more satisfied, even in the face of a top defender like Kirilenko, the little guy still showed no impatience, and the pass to Ariza was also because he saw the shortcomings of CJ Myers, Tieza failed to score just because he was not angry, and playing the inside line is also an advantage for the Lakers.
Sloan also glanced at the Lakers' super-rookie, and as a coach, he also admired a player like the Big Apple with great talent and a high ball quotient. Although it is rumored that the attitude of the Big Apple is problematic, this is not a problem in Sloan's view, and it is only because of his own management ability that people can't do it in the final analysis.
In Sloan's mind, if the Big Apple can be under his hands, he will definitely be able to govern it, and he can also rely on the original new version of the Utah Twins plus Li Chen, and at the same time exchange the Russians for some good replacements, then it will be very possible to win the championship!
Of course, for these, he can only think about it, not to mention whether Li Chen will run to this ghost place for a while, just talking about trading Russians is impossible, although he is not waiting to see him, but Sloan knows that AK is still very important to Jazz.
Don't you see that the super anti-bone boy is a big colander at all, except for rebounds, everything else is done by the Russians, saying that Boozer is the new version of the postman is simply lifting him, and his defense is not up to a fraction of others.
He may have the Iron Elbow, but it is believed that he will be knocked to the ground before he can use the Iron Elbow, after all, the intimidation power of the old man postman is not comparable to that of a pirate character like him.
At 25:27, the two sides played inextricably in the first quarter, and the Lakers temporarily trailed their teammates by 2 points. The interior is the biggest contributor to the Lakers, 15 of the 25 points are contributed by the twin towers, and the team's offensive core Li Chen, although the data of 4 points and 2 assists is not outstanding, but the big Apple's tandem contribution to the team is not something that the data can show.
If it weren't for Li Chen transporting ammunition in the rear, the Twin Towers would not have gotten so many opportunities, no matter what others thought, the old monk was still very satisfied with his disciple's performance.
