The fan atmosphere in Salt Lake City is still as lively as ever, but because of Chamberlain's actions to protect children when there was a fan conflict in this stadium, and now that he is playing better in the league, he also has a lot of fans.

When the Warriors players came out, they were still booed so loudly, like a tide, but Chamberlain received applause and cheers when he finally came out.

This made him smug and said to the group, "Look, guys, I'm about to become the most popular guy in the league." ”

West scoffed, "Are you a green Franklin (dollar) now?" Be careful that the top of your head is as green as it is. ”

Chamberlain pushed him and said, "Why do I want to kill you so much?" ”

Jackson was on the sidelines, grabbed West's shoulder and said, "Shoot him, Z, I'll hold him down for you." ”

Iverson hugged West and shouted, "Who dares to touch my apprentice?" ”

West was depressed and said, "AI, damn it, you're blocking my escape from behind." ”

Iverson was very dissatisfied and said, "Well, even though I'm helping you, you're still complaining?" Z, shoot him, I'll help you put your arms around his waist. ”

Not far away, Delon watched the opponents make a mess, with a deep envy in his eyes, since last season, the Jazz locker room atmosphere has been problematic, and this season is stricter.

This season, the Jazz played well, and the momentum was very strong, but compared with the Western hegemony of the year, the current Jazz's internal and external troubles can be said to have long been gone.

Last season, injuries to Delon Williams, Memet Oku and Carlos Boozer nearly dropped out of the playoffs. The players are in good health for the new season, but the difficulties that await them seem to be increasing.

Now the Jazz basically have no capital to compete for the Northwest King, for this team that was still in the West last season, the current status quo is really embarrassing, but fortunately, the reply to Delong's state is somewhat of a shot in the arm for the Jazz.

In fact, under the current configuration, the Jazz can play like this, which is already considered Sloane's power.

This summer, the Jazz, as always, didn't put much effort into the trade market, and the draft day was a solid pick for Meno, giving Delon a qualified bench and potential partner.

After learning that Kyle Korver was not out of contract, the Jazz uniform team did not renew the contract of "NBDL God" Almond and let go of veteran point guard Knight.

In addition, the departure of veteran interior Collins at the beginning of the season has made the heart of the Jazz more frustrated, which also reflects the root of the current Jazz problem - the interior line.

Frontcourt, after accepting a poison contract from the Trail Blazers to keep Millsap, the Jazz wanted to trade Boozer, but after a fire sale all summer, Boozer ended up staying in Salt Lake City and would still be the Jazz's starting power forward.

Judging from this season, the Jazz will have to rely on Boozer's scoring ability for a long time to come, and it will be difficult to find a person who can completely replace Boozer's value.

While Millsap is another option for a first-choice power forward, and the debate over whether he should be a regular continues, no one thinks Millsap can replace Boozer on the offensive end.

On the inside bench, the Jazz's white line seems to be seeing the light of day.

Costa Kufors has grown taller again, having reached 2.18m at the 2009 European Championships, and the current Jazz environment is perfect for him to grow up in a technically fierce white interior lineman, and this season, Kufors has been able to show his skills on several occasions during Oku's breaks.

"Red-faced" Kirillo Fresenko will become one of the important substitutes in the two positions on the interior with his hard work on the defensive end and his good performance last season.

"AK47" Andrei Kirilenko, who did not participate in the 2009 European Championships, received a "reward" from Sloan, and this season he returned to the small forward position and continued to be the main swingman of the forward line, playing as a power forward when the Jazz needed to speed up, and getting much more possession than last season.

Especially in the possible retirement of Matt Harprin, C. After J Myers' unfortunate injury, "AK47", which had been dormant for a long time, was once again given the opportunity to show his all-round skills.

However, the most important thing for the Jazz team is "health". Without fitness, AK47's chances can turn into a nightmare, and Boozer and "AK47" were both on the injury list, and now Oku and Delon are on the roster of concern.

Ronnie Brewer will continue to play as a starting attacking guard, and his aggressiveness on the defensive end and impact will also allow him to shine on certain occasions, with substitutes Korver and Brewer both coming to contract years, and the table is worth looking forward to.

Myers, who was originally pinned on hope, suffered an injury, and the Jazz lost a big player without playing in the new season, and injury will be an inevitable topic in the new season for the Jazz. Only a veteran rookie like Meno can give the Salt Lake City some consolation, even though the preseason didn't quite fit into the rhythm.

However, Meno's own positional battle execution ability and calm style of play coincide with the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll offense. Even as an attacking defender, he can help DeLong take a lot of the pressure off his shoulders.

It has been said that Deron has a strong ability to shoot in open positions, which is a key point for him to match or even surpass John Stockton. As long as he can take a little relief from the complicated organizational tasks, Delon will usher in another evolution, which is the biggest capital for him to compete with Chris Paul for the league's new point guard king.

But now it seems that compared with his predecessors, the gap between Delong and his predecessors is too big, maybe his vacant shooting ability is stronger, but the level of organization and defensive ability are one street away.

When Chamberlain was warming up, he saw Sloan take the initiative to say hello to Nelson Sr., and he now has mixed feelings about this iron handsome.

Old Nelson responded to Sloan seriously, beckoning to him and shouting a few words, I wonder if Sloan could hear it.

The Salt Lake City decorated iron coach is in dire straits, and although he has just been inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, he is getting older, less energetic, and less able to control the team.

Sloan wanted the Jazz to play team basketball, which is a tradition for the team, but Delon didn't want to be a silent passer like Stockton.

Paul, a classmate at the same level, is now a double harvest of honor and fame, and he is still an All-Star with a higher draft pick and an injury to Kobe Bryant and Roy, DeLong can't stand it, and has repeatedly told the media that he needs more tactical core.

Because of this, Sloan and Delon are constantly at odds, and before the All-Star, Jazz general manager Kevin O'Brien suddenly said to the media: "It can't be wrong to build a team around DeLong."

This sentence has caused experts and the media to speculate whether the conflict between Sloan and Delon has reached a critical point, and O'Brien is expressing his support for Delon on behalf of the team?

The starting lineup for the Jazz is: center Oku, power forward Boozer, small forward Kirilenko, playmaking guard Delon, and shooting guard Looney Brewer.

The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, playmaking guard Billups, and scoring guard Curry.

After half a season, Iverson began to step down from the starting position, and now, he is indeed no longer the answer to the invincible super scoring machine.

The Warriors and the Jazz have met once before, and that time Oku and Kirilenko were both injured, and the Warriors ravaged each other at home by a dominant margin.

Before last season, the Jazz were considered to be the Warriors' sworn enemies, but as Chamberlain became stronger and more powerful, and with the gradual maturity of Curry and Ibaka, the Jazz were no longer worthy of being the Warriors' mortal enemies, especially now that the Jazz are sinking.

Maybe that's true, but the Jazz weren't willing to be treated like this, and they had to fight for themselves, so before the game, encouraged by the fans, the starting stars gathered together and hugged each other to cheer each other on.

Chamberlain and Oku jumped the ball and said with a smile: "The gap in strength is not something that can be made up by determination, don't you understand?" ”

Billups laughed, "Z, don't underestimate the heart of a champion. ”

Curry pouted and said, "First of all, our opponent has to have a championship heart, do you think they have it?" ”

DeLong looked solemn and snorted coldly at Curry: "You'll know right away if there is." ”

In fact, they really don't.

Ideals are one thing, at the beginning of each season, thirty teams say that they are here for the championship, but this is just a face, what strength does the championship need for their own unclear?

Just like the high school students of the Celestial Empire, before going to high school, they all said that we went to high school for Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in fact, 99% of the people knew in their hearts that what they could read was a Tsinghua Chibei University Blue Bird and the like.

The referee tossed the ball up, and Oku, who had just recovered from his knee injury and was a little less bounced off than before, made Chamberlain jump with ease and picked the ball up to Billups.

Delon looked like he wanted to win, he played aggressively at the beginning, Billups leaned down after holding the ball, Delon reached out to steal, fortunately, Billy was also full of experience, he shook his arms and shook a shot, Delon stretched out his hand, just gave him a chance to pass.

DeLong was not afraid, because he was very explosive, and immediately turned around after being deceived, and chased after him after a few steps.

Chamberlain didn't go up to block and dismantle the cover, Sloan was the grandfather of this, playing this thing in front of him, DeLong was moving so fast that it was useless.

Billups chose to push forward and firmly used the breakthrough to deal with Delon , and the Jazz defense was inevitably loose, so he took the opportunity to pass the ball to Chamberlain on the inside.

Oxlain suffered a five-star treatment, Boozer carried it, Oku went around, Ibaka took the opportunity to run out of the high position, Kirilenko's role was shown, his ability to help defend was super strong, Chamberlain just transferred the ball to Ibaka, Kirilenko quickly defended.

Curry formed a turret outside the three-point line, Billups also reached out in the bottom corner of the right wing to ask for the ball, Oku could only defend it, and the Warriors immediately seized the opportunity, Ibaka passed the ball to Curry, and Curry dropped the ball to Chamberlain again.

Now there is no Oku, Chamberlain singled Boozer, who gritted his teeth and wanted to push him out, but Chamberlain turned around with this thrust, and when Boozer moved sideways, he came to a crotch change of direction, cut Boozer, and rushed to the restricted area to score a layup.

Elegant, relaxed and chic.

The fans in the stands applauded unsparingly, and the adrenaline in the stadium began to soar.

Deron obviously doesn't want his opponent to steal the limelight, and the outside speculation is good, and now there are two voices in the Jazz team, and he wants to compete with Sloan for control of the team.

Who is Sloane? The Bulls' former number one superstar, the architect of the Jazz's glory era, and the man who almost defeated the Bulls under the command of Jordan the Great, his reputation in this city is not comparable to that of Delong, a newcomer.

But DeLong also has an advantage, that is, he has met a good time, Sloan is old, it is time to retire, and he is in the prime of his youth.

What he has to do now is to show the fans his strength and potential, and prove that Sloan will kneel without his own team, and he can lead the team forward without Sloan!
