Chapter 712: NBA Trap

Chamberlain's ball was not an ordinary wonderful, the arena fell into a brief silence at first, and then exclamations rang out one after another.

Costa Kufus stood under the basket with a frustrated face, and even forgot to defend back, it is actually normal for an interior player to be blocked, but it is very embarrassing to be directly scooped up by someone who shoots the ball.

NBA players shoot very fast, so it's rare in history to see someone catch the ball because they don't have that reflex speed. Being able to be caught by someone means that the opponent not only surpasses the bowler, but also masters his movements.

It was a triple defeat of physical, technical and mental elements, and Costa Koufos had no chance against Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Warriors launched the last attack, Costa Kufors was immersed in frustration, Chamberlain passed the ball to Iverson, and the outside line continued to reverse the ball, and he helped his teammates cover twice, and finally two seconds before the end of halftime, suddenly went to the middle **** the penalty area.

Hill hoisted the ball inside and Chamberlain received it and sent it into the hoop with ease.

At halftime, the Warriors went into the locker room with an eight-point lead at 68-60.

In the live broadcast room of TNT, Barkley shook his head and smiled: "Poor Costa Kufus, if I were him, then I would definitely hit my head on the basketball hoop and die on the spot, that would be too embarrassing, even if this poor man is alive, it must be worse than dead, I think he can change his name, change his name to Costa Living Dead Coopus." ”

Smith laughed twice, and he flipped through the numbers and said, "I did notice something else, Charles, you see, in the last ten games between the Jazz and the Warriors, their halftime score has averaged 52. 4 to 47. 8。 So far this season, the Jazz have a halftime score of 49 against their opponents. 6-49。 2. What about today? Both sides have scored 6 points, and the Warriors are even close to surpassing 70 points! Don't you think that's weird? ”

Barkley also nodded: "Yes, man, great heads always coincide, the Jazz are giving up their great tradition, which is defense, and they are doing a terrible job of defense today, especially the blockade of the Warriors' outside line, terrible!" ”

"The defense on the inside is just as poor, and Z has scored 18 points before he knows it." Smith added.

Barkley pouted, "Is that a lot?" Man, you have to know that no one can guard against Z, and no one in the active service can prevent him! ”

In the Warriors locker room, Nelson Sr. was talking about a similar topic: "Those little boys of the Jazz are obviously working against Sloan Sr., these idiots!" They actually want to fight with their opponents to attack? Ha, does Delon want to be the next Nash? Did he think he was the kind of guy who could organize his team to play a wild attack?! ”

"Since he thinks so, then let's do what he wants, start the second half, let go of Delon, let him score at will, lock up the rest of the guys, especially their inside, understand? Don't let their inside line score again! ”

In the second half, the old Nelson sent a lineup of Chamberlain, Ibaka, Blair, West, and Iverson, opening up on the outside and shrinking the defense to the inside.

Sloane is worthy of a generation of coaches, and he has obviously discovered the team's problems, rescheduling Oku and Boozer to play on the inside, Boozer has not rested until now, but this is understandable.

There was speculation at the start of the season that Boozer's continued starting was not a concern for him, but a decision for Sloan. The removal of Boozer from the starting position indicates that the Jazz top management has taken the initiative to sound the fuse, and this move may open the "Jazz supermarket" and trade Boozer.

Boozer has made it clear that he wants a big contract, and the Jazz won't give him a big contract, and there is a saying in the NBA that any problem involving money is a big problem. Obviously, Boozer is about to part ways with this team.

But the Jazz waited a summer before Boozer away, and the other teams didn't give the Jazz a bargaining chip they were comfortable with, and the chips they got won't change much as the season progresses. Therefore, the Jazz chose to continue to reuse Boozer, which has the advantage of maintaining Boozer's excellent performance, increasing its market value, and maintaining the competitiveness of the Jazz itself, so that the results and future plans are not wrong.

Boozer likes that too, he's in a contract year, and if he plays well, he can get better in the next contract.

At the beginning of the third quarter, DeLong lifted the rhythm when he got the ball, Sloan pinched his waist and stood off the court, he shook his head and didn't speak, Delong obviously didn't take his previous advice to heart, in this case, it will rain that day, the girl is going to get married, let him go.

Iverson didn't pester Delon but cut off his passing route, the Warriors' outside defense was loose, Delon didn't try to attack, he was a super point guard after all, he felt very keen, and he sensed that something was wrong.

Boozer asked for the ball on the edge of the box, but as soon as he got the ball, Blair, who was similar to his size and similar name, went up to him, Boozer bumped back and turned with the ball, but West had already pounced and unfolded the bag with Blair.

On the outside, Iverson switched to Brewer's side, and Boozer was very uncomfortable with being trapped, and he passed the ball to DeLong in the open space. DeLong didn't hesitate and made a long shot, he felt good and dropped two points.

The Warriors were not in a hurry, Iverson controlled the ball and slowly ran across the halfcourt, Deron began to press from the half-court line, and Iverson did not fight with him, so he passed the ball to West.

West ran around the three-point line with the ball for half a lap, and when there were few chances, he passed to Ibaka, who was receiving him.

The Warriors' classic combination came in, with Serge Ibaka cutting through Chamberlain at the same time, and then running back without the ball. Oxlade-Chamberlain drew the pack and played the ball back to Ibaka, who seized the opportunity to shoot back with a mid-range shot.

Deron broke through quickly, Iverson blocked him and couldn't effectively cut inside, seeing this, he gave the ball to Oku, who turned and made a layup, Chamberlain pulled the ball down on the spot, and the Warriors counterattacked, it was still Chamberlain who attracted the bag and then divided the ball, but unfortunately Blair hit the iron jumper.

DeLong tested it, he made a gesture to pass the ball to his interior teammates, the Warriors' defense suddenly shrank, and he understood that the opponent was planning to focus on defending the interior, seeing this, he made a decisive shot: the outside defense pressure was small, and his shot was reasonable.

The ball hit again, and Delon slapped his palm, as if it was very hot, and he smiled at Boozer: "Man, my hands are hot enough to bake a teppanyaki, you know?" ”

In the Jazz team, Delon and Boozer have a good relationship, the core of the two are Americans, and Oku is a Turk Kirilenko is a Russian, and the Jazz's tactical core is also the blocking of the two, so Delon is very unhappy about the team's intention to send Boozer away.

West broke through with the ball, Chamberlain mentioned high cover, West passed the ball to him after breaking through, Jazz inside wrapped Chamberlain from both wings, the box was blank, Chamberlain passed the ball to Iverson, Iverson fell to West, and he hit a layup.

Although the score has not been opened, experts can see that the Warriors played more reasonably, and they shot closer to the restricted area every time, while the Jazz relied on unreasonable long-range shots to score and make decisions.

Deron didn't want to take the offense lightly, he still passed the ball inside, and as a result, Oku made a mistake in the three-man package of Chamberlain, Blair and Iverson, and the Warriors broke fast, West scored on a layup again, and the Warriors regained a 10-point lead.

With seven minutes left in the quarter, Oku landed unsteadily after jumping to grab a rebound, accidentally stumbling on his ankle, and Sloan had to take a timeout to help Oku off the court.

In this way, the trap of old Nelson is even more perfect, the Jazz's interior attack power is greatly reduced, and Delong's offensive desire is unprecedentedly strong after the timeout!

"Ibaka and the inside line, no problem!" Chamberlain told his teammates that he went to clean up Boozer and scrapped the goods directly, making it difficult to connect the ball.

Bruney missed a three-point shot from a distance, Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and organized the Warriors to break fast, West and Curry on the outside made a quick attack, Chamberlain came with a long pass and sent the ball accurately into the hands of his teammates under the basket, which received fierce applause.

Delon saw that his teammates were not strong, licked his lips and went on himself, he hit Curry with his back, the latter followed Nelson Sr.'s arrangement, partially released the water, Delon crushed with his back, turned around and jumped after entering the free throw area, Curry interfered with him, but the ball still fell into the hoop.

This gave Delon a lot of confidence, if he felt so good, why did he keep passing the ball?

The next time he attacked, Delon jumped up and down with the ball again, Nelson Sr. sat back on the bench, and the game was over, and Delon fell into a trap, and once he fell, he couldn't climb out.

The Warriors passed the ball to the inside to solve it, and the Jazz could only wrap it up, because Boozer was not tall enough to defend Chamberlain alone, and Millsap, who came on the bench for Oku, was even shorter, and the two could only use their strength to clamp Chamberlain.

When Millsap and Boozer separated, he seized the gap and stepped in, and quickly slapped the ball to the ground with his right hand, and with the impact on it, he rose to the ground with the ball, holding the ball behind his head.

Deron threw his hand to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to his teammates and spun around, and finally took the ball back, still a long-range shot from the ground, this time the ball was iron, Chamberlain took the rebound, and the Warriors attacked.

West smiled at Delon as he ran with the ball: "You like to shoot from a distance? Then I'll find someone to teach you how to cast far. ”

He broke through with his feet, and then distributed the ball to Curry, who got the ball and stepped back out of the three-point line, his feet rose from the ground, and he shot the ball handsomely.

"Huh!" The basketball falls into the hoop.

Barkley said to Smith: "This kid has the potential to be an era leader like AI, KB, T-MAC, because he's so handsome and a lot of people like to imitate him, as for Ross Durant? That's still it. ”

Delon still chose to play singles, he pushed forward with his shoulders against Curry, and when the latter couldn't bear it, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated, rushed into the restricted area to pick up the ball and wanted to make a three-step layup.

At the last moment, Chamberlain arrived, Delon's shot turned into a cap, Curry who followed up took off the rebound, the Warriors wanted to break fast, and the scared Jazz players ran down together, Curry smiled, stabilized his speed and moved forward slowly, waiting for Chamberlain to fall into position.

Delon didn't score four or five shots in a row, and the Warriors took the opportunity to keep counterattacking, taking advantage of Chamberlain's advantage to hit a 10-0 scoring climax in a row, bringing the lead to 20 points in one fell swoop!

In the last two and a half minutes of the third quarter, Delon finally began to wave his hand and motioned for Boozer to come up and play with him.

At this time, I remembered this tactic, it was a little late, Chamberlain followed out of the restricted area, and under his superb defensive ability, the Jazz's blocking and dismantling tactics repeatedly failed, but they were not as threatening as DeLong's singles.

In the final quarter, the Jazz fought back with a disadvantage of up to 20 points, and Delon did have the potential to become the king of the first team.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Delon made consecutive break-through layups to narrow the gap to 14 points, and Curry continued to hit another three-pointer from the outside, making Delon's efforts come to naught.

Obviously, Delon couldn't stop the Warriors' indiscriminate bombardment, and two minutes after the opening game, another 9-2 mini-climax quickly made the game lose its suspense.

Sloan called a timeout weakly, and Nelson Sr. replaced the likes of Chamberlain and West, and came off the bench to hold a 25-point lead.

Less than 4 minutes into the quarter, the game ended early.

Then, after the opening game, Deron missed a jumper, and Boozer grabbed a key frontcourt rebound to make a follow-up shot, only to be blocked by Ibaka. Millsap was very powerful, and then he scored 7 points in a row, but then Morrow broke through and hit a one-handed throw, and Gibson came to the basket to make it 2+1.

Until the last minute, the Warriors still maintained a 20-point advantage, and Sloan also replaced the main team and gave up the struggle.
