The rhythm of this game is completely different from what people imagined, and the quartet was also disappointed at this time:

"Today's game was not full of intensity and excitement, the Pelicans were an injured team, the Jazz were not ready, neither team was in the best shape of their game!"

"Well, especially the Jazz, Jazz's play today was too piecemeal!"

Webb didn't miss any opportunity to bake the Jazz.

Kenny Smith, despite leaning towards Jazz, also said at this point:

"The Jazz really don't play like a strong team competing for playoff spots today, the overall rhythm is not good, and the defense is too contemptuous of the opponent, the Jazz's aristocratic spirit is still too strong!"

The game is not good, everyone will not say Pelicans, because the Pelicans are originally a rookie team, it is not easy to play to this point, what is wrong cuò everyone can understand, but the Jazz is an old strong team with a long history, once it is not played well, everyone immediately blames the Jazz.

The Jazz didn't play a good game today, everyone will blame the Jazz, no one blames the Pelicans, that's the gap.

The game was played like this, and all the Jazz players sitting on the bench at this time, Quinn, Hayward, and Gobert felt a fever on their faces.

Jazz fans demand more from the Jazz than other teams, and other teams only need to win, but the Jazz not only want to win, but also win beautifully, which is caused by the history of the Jazz.

Today, the Jazz not only didn't win, but also played ugly, and at this time, Quinn also said:

'It's our home stadium and we've played badly in the first three quarters, so I don't mind if we play ugly but we have to win and there's only one thing I want in the fourth quarter. Defend desperately, treat the Pelicans as Chicagoans, and the Pelicans as Chicagoans who have humiliated you! ”

On the Pelicans' side in the final quarter, Van Gundy also encouraged his players:

"Today the Jazz looked down on us, they didn't play hard from the beginning, and now I guess they're going crazy!"

"But we should let them know that we're not the kind of team they had in the regular season, that they can play casually in the first three quarters, and that they can win in the last quarter, and we have to prove it with our actions. As long as they despise us, even for a second, they will lose! ”

Van Gundy is also a player who motivates himself, and the Jazz are also a player who motivates himself, so the fourth quarter has become a battlefield of life and death.

When I came back in the fourth quarter, the opening game was the Pelicans' ball, and now it's the last quarter, and the intensity on the Pelicans' side has also increased.

Turner came over with the ball, and the Pelicans immediately hit Li Feng's catch. Li Feng used the cover from the bottom corner and ran out quickly to catch the ball.

Li Feng, who received the ball, sprinted a step in the middle, attracted the opponent's defense, and immediately hit the ground and passed to Pau Gasol under the basket. Pau Gasol raises his hand under the basket to make a feint.

Favors, on the Jazz's side, still ate this feint, jumped up and crashed into Pau Gasol's body and made a foul.

Favors was fouled when he came up, and it can be seen that the Pelicans' offensive focus has also shifted to the interior.

At the free throw line, Pau Gasol made both free throws steadily. The Pelicans came up and scored.

Just when the Pelicans scored, the Jazz quickly chased back, and the Jazz also played a simple offense at this time.

Burke came up and passed the basketball to Favors, who was at the top of the arc. Favors picked up the ball as Hayward ran over and made a hand-to-hand pass.

Hayward, who received the pass, took the ball and directly made a three-pointer, and when Hayward shot a three-pointer, Li Feng was stuck in the back and did not chase it out.

And at this moment, Hayward shot a three-pointer and hit "Hmmm!" "Hayward came up and threw a three-pointer.

This shows that Hayward's killing intent is stronger, and Hayward wants to kill his opponent to win the game.

At this time, Director Zhang also said:

"Hayward's offense was very active in the third quarter, and now in the fourth quarter, he will take the ball and shoot, which shows that Hayward has decided to go on a killing spree now!"

The Yu family also said at this time:

"Indeed, the Jazz should play at full strength now, otherwise they will be a little sorry for the audience!"

At the end of the game, there was a reverse development at the beginning of the game, at the beginning of the game, the Pelicans played outside projection, and the Jazz played inside, and now in the fourth quarter, the Pelicans began to play inside, and the Jazz began to shoot outside, which is a bit incomprehensible.

The Pelicans still advanced very quickly at this time, and once they pushed up, the two big men went to the high position together.

Under the instigation of another big man, Li Feng easily broke through to the wing, and then moved the basketball to the other side.

When the basketball reached this side, Pau Gasol and Granger immediately crossed the screen, Granger passed the ball to Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol took the ball and dribbled in front of Favors, and then performed his trick again, throwing a small throw in the middle of the road.

Pau Gasol is a big man with a small man's technique, which is indeed different from the average big man, and Favors is also more unhappy with this, and when he still has a reaction on his side, Pau Gasol's throw hits.

In the fourth quarter, Pau Gasol actually scored 4 points in a row, at this time the Jazz were depressed up and down, everyone in the world knew that the Jazz's interior line was the first in the world, the twin towers were unique, and the advantage was exhausted, but now it is the twin towers that the Jazz first collapsed.

Al Jefferson blew up Gobert in the third quarter, and Pau Gasol looked like he was going to blow up Favors in the fourth quarter, which felt as if the Pelicans were better on the inside than the Jazz, and Barkley shook his head on the side.

"The Pelicans are characteristic enough on the inside, Al Jefferson will play singles in the low post, Kelly will respond with three-point strategies, Pau Gasol has a delicate hand under the basket, Henson can relay in the air, in terms of talent, the Pelicans' several interior lines are not necessarily bad for the Jazz, they are still poor in experience and experience, but today from the table Xiàn, they seem to be directly using the Jazz to practice!"

The Pelicans' interior lines are indeed distinctive, and at this time Webb also said:

"These four inside lines are indeed good big men, in terms of physical elements, the highest ceiling is Henson, in terms of personality, the highest ceiling is Kelly, and Pau Gasol is a veteran. His technical style dictates that he can only play like this, and as for Al Jefferson, he is now set in the box, a low-post singles player! ”

The strongest place of the Jazz has been challenged, they naturally want to rebound, Favors was beaten twice by Pau Gasol in succession, and he was a little anxious to come up, he was beaten by Pau Gasol today, he came over and was also eager to save face, and when he came up to the card position, he brutally hit Pau Gasol suddenly.

This time Favors hit it obviously. Favors is a very emotional player, and the referee didn't want to blow it at this time, but Pau Gasol was hit by him, and he immediately sat on the ground, covering his face and looking very painful.

As a result, the referee could only give Favors an offensive foul, who made his action bigger, Favors was eaten in a row, and another offensive foul was blown. Even more babbled with the referee, the referee ignored him, and Favors still walked back very unhappy.

When Quinn saw Favors like this, he quickly asked Gobert to stand up and warm up. Ready to replace him, Quinn knows Favors very well, and Favors is a very emotional player.

Once he hits well, he attacks very well. The defense is aggressive, but when the play is not smooth, the attack is very poor. The defense is very invisible, and instead of letting Favors attack poorly and defend invisibly, it is better to let him come down early and adjust.

The Pelicans came over, Turner gave the basketball to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball here to see where Favors was stinky face, and then looked at Paul Gasol's sly gaze, he immediately saw the opportunity to pass the basketball to Paul Gasol immediately.

Pau Gasol is good at air cutting, and the success rate of low-post singles is not high, but at this time Favors has a little problem, and his defense is not very good, in this case, Pau Gasol is to take the ball and turn a hook hand, and comfortably score 2 points.

In the third quarter, Al Jefferson scored 11 consecutive points, and now Pau Gasol scored six points in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The Jazz could no longer let the previous tragedy play out, so as soon as the Jazz saw Pau Gasol scoring consecutive points, he immediately called a timeout.

As soon as the jazz called this timeout, Kenny Smith said:

"The Jazz are in trouble today, they have a counterattack from the Pelicans inside, Pau Gasol and Al Jefferson played very well today, and their play is definitely something that the Jazz did not expect before, and the Jazz now need to solve the problem of the interior first!"

"In the final analysis, the Jazz still despise the opponent, if the Pelicans are not given a chance from the beginning of the game, the Pelicans will not play so lightly, and the Jazz have an advantage in terms of strength!"

Reggie Miller was still critical of the Jazz at this time, and the Jazz called a timeout, while Quinn immediately removed Favors, and then used Gobert as center and Joe Goltzer as the No. 4 position, while further shifting the tactical focus to Hayward and Gobett.

When the Jazz made substitutions, the Pelicans did not make substitutions, Van Gundy saw that Pau Gasol was in good shape today, and Al Jefferson was also completely excited.

After the timeout, the Jazz attacked, Burke dribbled over at this time, and the veteran waited outside for Gobert to take advantage of his teammates to get stuck under the basket before he sent the basketball to Gobert's hands.

Gobert was also depressed today, he was beaten by Jefferson, and he couldn't figure it out, and he also had a strong desire to retaliate with the ball at this time. Hopefully, he took the ball and forced Pau Gasol down, took a step towards the basket, and then got up and threw a hook hand.

Gobert has no advantage in playing Pau Gasol's size, but he has an advantage in footwork and reach, and right above Pau Gasol's head, Gobert's hook is an easy shot.

Just as Gobert was throwing, the Energy Solutions Center court finally erupted in cheers, and their interior had not played such a decent score for a long time, so the Energy Solutions Center had to cheer twice when they saw such a simple interior attack.

Gobert's ability is still there, and he can still score points when he comes to the inside to score.

The Jazz finally eased up a little, and at this time the Pelicans quickly caught up, and the Pelicans' thoughts at this time were very clear, since the interior played well, they continued to play for the inside, and the basketball advanced.

Pau Gasol was not good at receiving the ball, and the basketball went directly to the hands of Al Jefferson in the right waist, and Al Jefferson still had some size advantage in playing Joe ingolzer at this time.

He takes the ball and goes hard at the back, but he is not a power type of interior power that has no absolute advantage over Joingorzer, and his pace is not faster than Joinggorzer. As a result, he had a bit of a hard time hitting Joyingolzer, pulling away and hooking up to take advantage of the height on Joyinggorzer's head.

But just as Al Jefferson was making a move, Gobert came over to make trouble, and he jumped up from behind to block Al Jefferson's hook hand, so that Al Jefferson missed the shot.

The basketball rolled out directly, Gobert got the basketball under the basket, the Jazz's interior defense was serious, and Al Jefferson really couldn't score points lightly.

The Jazz finally held one, which is not easy for the Jazz.

The Jazz's side finally held on. After a quick comeback, Burke still passed the basketball to Gobert on the right side of the waist.

Gobert hit Pau Gasol with his back at this time, arched two steps and did not squeeze Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol's strength was still first-class, and the strength could not be beaten, so Gobert could only turn over and want to pass Pau Gasol from the bottom line.

Pau Gasol was smart enough to pull Gobert back with a foul at this time, and both teams had fewer fouls at this time.

The Jazz side could only re-attack, but the Jazz re-attacked, and the old player as Lao Yu also made a mistake and stepped on the line when he controlled the ball.

The ball shifted to the Pelicans' side. The game was entangled, and the scoring was not happy, but the intensity of the game finally came out, and the inside behemoths of both teams began to bite bloodily.

It feels like blood. This is what the Western Conference Finals should taste like this season, and when it comes to this time, the Pelicans still start playing from the inside, and the ball comes directly to Pau Gasol's hands.

The fourth quarter begins. The game has become the world of the inside line, and the Pelicans and Jazz are fighting to the inside, which is originally the Jazz's forte. But the Pelicans actually took advantage of it.

The main reason is that at the beginning, the Jazz still didn't take the Pelicans' two interior lines as one thing.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans still led the Jazz by 5 points, 99-94, and the Jazz were the first to be anxious about Hayward.

Hayward is a very competitive player, and he really wants to take a solo playoff trip to the team, and when he sees that the team is failing, he is very eager to turn the score back.

So Hayward's side came up and immediately took the ball to single Li Feng, and Hayward had a certain success rate in singles Li Feng before.

But Li Feng also gradually figured out some tricks to defend Hayward, and if he wanted to defend Hayward well, he would have to destroy his rhythm, so Li Feng immediately gave Hayward a soft nail on the side, so that Hayward couldn't make a move.

Hayward forced a shot at a critical moment, but he didn't shoot, Hayward felt very good in the first three quarters, and in the last quarter, his state was a little bad, after all, he was much more tired than Li Feng, and it was definitely not easy for Jazz to play Spurs in the last series.

On the Jazz side, Hayward didn't play a single shot, and the Pelicans immediately counterattacked back, and Li Feng quickly ran over and passed the basketball to Luo Teng on the wing.

Luo Teng took the ball and used Li Feng's body to make a cover, and suddenly hit the Jazz's basket, and actually played an aerial pull-up layup, scoring two points on Gobert's head.

Luo Teng actually has this kind of table, and Luo Teng also shouted excitedly after scoring.

The Jazz can now be broken through by Roten, at this time Jazz fans are very disappointed, and the Jazz themselves feel a little unhappy, today from the beginning of the game to the present, the Pelicans feel particularly unhappy for the Jazz.

When Jazz beat the Pelicans, it seemed that they couldn't exert their power at all, but the Pelicans could hit the Jazz's soft underbelly again and again.

The Jazz couldn't catch up at the last moment, and when they came back again, they were still stuck in individual singles.

This time Gobert went to the low post again to ask for the ball, Pau Gasol defended desperately behind him, Gobert's physical fitness and endurance are not as good as Hayward, he weighs so much, he has fought two series in a row, and now he is fighting a group of young people, and he is not as good as when he first came on the court, he took the ball and resisted Pau Gasol one step, and then got up and threw a hook hand, and the ball was light as soon as he shot.

fell to the hoop and was directly picked up by the Pelicans for the rebound. The pelicans picked up the basketball and chased it quickly.

Compared with the Jazz, the Pelicans have too sufficient physical reserves, and they are young, and they are absolutely unable to run to death.

The Pelicans came running, but they played a very smooth fast break, and Li Feng took the ball and passed it to Granger. Granger broke to the baseline and hit the ground to pass to Al Jefferson, who followed behind, and Al Jefferson came up from behind and threw a high toss.

The basketball easily fell into the Jazz's basket, and the Jazz missed two consecutive rounds of offense, and the Pelicans used these two rounds to rewrite the score to 103-94, and the Pelicans led by 9 points at once.

A nine-point margin is nothing in the first half, or the third quarter, but it's the fourth quarter, and there are more than six points left before the end of the game. This point difference is a bit fatal.

At this time, the Jazz needed a drastic twist, a desperate twist, to turn around the current situation that could not be played.

The Jazz can achieve this twist, or have the ability to open a gap first. It was destined to be Hayward.

So after the Pelicans scored, the Jazz chased after them, Hayward immediately took the ball in the low post and hit it strongly, and Li Feng went over to defend. Desperately squeezing Hayward out, but Hayward's back-to-back offense is not trying to force you to the basket. Instead, he followed the rhythm of Li Feng's strength, swaying from side to side, not completely exerting his strength, and Li Feng didn't know his next move.

Just when Li Feng was chasing Hayward to defend, Hayward suddenly dodged to the right, Li Feng chased over, but Hayward stepped back to the left and made a jumper.

As far as Hayward's rhythm control, as well as the backward step of shooting, even Li Feng could only sigh, Hayward's basketball shot went over Li Feng's head and easily fell into the basket.

"Huh!"

Hayward countered with a ball, and the Pelicans called a timeout.

The Pelicans' timeout was extremely strange, Hayward only hit a single on his side, and the Pelicans immediately called a timeout.

But just when Van Gundy called a timeout, Director Zhang said on the side:

"The Pelicans are calling this pause, and the Pelicans should be serious at this time!"

The Yu family immediately asked, "What do you say!" ”

At this time, Director Zhang said:

"Just now the Pelicans led by 9 points, which is a big difference, and then Hayward hit two points, which shows that Hayward has launched an individual scoring mode, and now the Pelicans want to win, or to curb the Jazz's individual scoring mode, so the Pelicans' timeout is just right, and now is just right!"

Van Gundy called a timeout at this time, and it was indeed focused on arranging the defense of Hayward, Van Gundy did not adopt an earth-shattering defensive approach against Hayward, but asked his players to respond to Hayward when defending Hayward, to echo back and forth, four bread sandwiches, and the defense should be dynamic.

What an old and spicy character Quinn is, as soon as he sees Van Gundy call a timeout, he knows that Van Gundy will definitely target Hayward, and at this time he sets up a strategy for the rest of the Jazz players to step up.

At the end of the timeout, the Pelicans played again, and the play was still very simple, Luo Teng controlled the ball and came over to Li Feng, who ran out of the wing, Li Feng took the ball here, used a little cover in the face of the Jazz's defense, and came up to shoot a mid-range jumper.

With Li Feng's shot, the basketball simply entered the basket, and in the last quarter, Li Feng's hand was not bad.

The Pelicans stretched the difference to 9 points again, at this time the Jazz came up, playing more urgently, they are the Jazz, they are the hegemon, this is the Western Conference Finals, they are going to fall behind in the first game at their own doorstep, the Jazz are naturally anxious, in this situation, Evans is also trying to play Granger with the ball.

He was constantly under the crotch, shaking continuously, and wanted to show off his skills, but he missed the basketball as soon as he shot it.

Evans looks energetic as a role player, tough defensively and steady shooting, but once he is allowed to play with the ball, Evans' poor physical coordination and mental and technical weaknesses are revealed.

Evans wasted a very critical shot here, and Quinn was also angry here, he asked others to work harder, but he didn't let them shoot in waves, and Evans' shooting choice and singles level simply made the Jazz worse. (To be continued......)
