Chapter 218: Wolf Assault (Sorry, Brothers)
The Jazz have now been pushed to the brink of a cliff and are down 3-1, and if they win one more game, they will have to go home fishing.
If it loses to the Spurs, Lakers and the like, it is just that, even if it is an old powerhouse like the Mavericks and Suns, it is understandable, and their core DeLong is still young and has opportunities, so he may not be unable to accept failure. But you can't lose to the Warriors, they just beat each other 4-1 last season, and this year they were eliminated by others by the same score?
I can't afford to lose this person.
In particular, Chamberlain, the absolute core of the Warriors in today's game, was trapped in a wrist injury, and it was their home court, so it was the right time and place and everyone was on their side, and it would be a shame to lose again.
The Jazz players knew this thing, so they showed their determination to fight against the water, but the problem was that the Warriors' offense in the first quarter was too crazy.
Chamberlain's dunk after Boozer knocked away Oku was really morale-boosting, and because of SWAT's unfair treatment of Chamberlain, the Warriors are now united, and the outside world's speculation about Chamberlain's injury to the team's ability has further stimulated them, and now they are not just mourning or angry.
So, Jazz was miserable.
After following Chamberlain, Billups stole Delon's pass and assisted Ellis to fire first, this side Kirilenko fired back, and the Warriors immediately attacked Ellis, San Francisco's first shot deserved its name, and once again broke through and rushed into the penalty area with a small lever, almost riding Boozer to score two points.
Not to be outdone, Boozer covered Deron with a vengeful fury, who rushed to the basket to draw the ball and passed to Boozer. After getting the ball, Boozer took a big step into the basket and dunked hard, and then the Jazz began to fight back, Kirilenko snatched the rebound after Harrington's missed shot, passed to Oku, who hit a mid-range shot in the high post, and the two sides quickly tied it at 6-6.
The Warriors began to strengthen their defense, Billups personally singled Delon and then planned an aerial relay after turning and hitting a shot, assisting Harrington to attack, and then Billups became more and more courageous, presiding over several attacks behind the Warriors, and played a wave of 12-2 attacks in a row, forcing the Jazz to call a timeout.
Although Delon is known as a new generation of super point guards, but today in front of Billups, he showed his immaturity, Billups taught him a vivid lesson with his old and spicy breakthrough points, and the small-scale offense hosted by the point guard, in addition to blocking and dismantling, there are also points.
After the timeout, the Jazz stepped up their interior offense, and Sloan ordered Boozer and Oku to complete the connection in the restricted area, and the two took turns scoring inside to open up the game. But then, West came off the bench and began to exert his power, he first hit a three-pointer through the net, Billups scored and assisted, and Deron was blind, and the Warriors scored seven points in a row to continue to extend the lead, leading 28-14.
There is no doubt that the first quarter of the game was completely under the control of the Warriors, or rather under the control of Billups, and in the last 30 seconds, West's eyes were bloody, and a pull-up jump shot and another shot from beyond the three-point line scored five points in a row to help the team lead 33-19.
West's arrogance made Jazz fans turn pale, and Chamberlain finally had a fair time, but the two freaks of Billups and West began to exert their power again.
Chamberlain tried to make a couple of attacks in the first quarter, but both hooks and shots were missed. The injury on his wrist affected him a lot, and his already ungentle touch was completely lost, and in the second quarter, Nelson Sr. replaced him off the court and let Evans and O'Bryant go to the restricted area.
O'Briant's template for the original draft was Oku, and now that the copycat Oku has met the real Oku, the gap in internal strength is suddenly apparent.
Seeing Oxlade-Chamberlain go off, Rooney Price, who replaced Delon, immediately passed the ball to Oku in the penalty area.
After getting the ball, Oku tested O'Bryant's strength backwards, and Billups hurriedly instructed Jackson to say, "Go to the defense, man, go to the defense!" ”
Before his words fell, Oku launched a strong attack, he 'slammed' three backs in a row, O'Briant couldn't help but take a step back, Oku seized the opportunity to turn quickly, cut under the basket and jumped up to hook up for a layup.
If this kind of ball dares to play in front of Chamberlain, it will definitely be a hat-breaker, but against O'Bryant, it is a one-on-one accurate.
After the start of the second quarter, the Jazz used the inside advantage to score 4 points in a row to narrow the gap to 10 at 23-33, seeing this, West smiled coldly, and in the face of Korver's defense, he sneered: "Boy, I heard that you are a marksman?" Is the three-point point accurate? ”
Billups waved for West to come up and cover him, but Mr. Mad Dog's rabies symptoms flinched, and he insisted on reaching for the ball to single Korver. If it had been half a season ago, for a person of West's level, Korver would not have paid attention to it.
I don't take West in my eyes because he is confident, Korver is very active in defense, but his speed is relatively slow, his physical fitness is not very strong, and he generally can't keep up with the players he defends. But he has a good sense of steals and averaged 1 per game in the 04-05 season. 2+ steals.
At that time, West was not well-known, and he was notorious as a lone wolf, and Korver liked the kind of people who liked to steal the ball because they couldn't pass the ball.
But not anymore, West came to the Warriors and suddenly shined, becoming the Warriors' second comet this season — and a rising comet. Thanks to the strong rise of Chamberlain and West, Nelson Sr. is now known as a rookie **** expert, and at the upcoming draft, multiple rookies have frankly admitted that they want to be selected by Nelson Sr.
Getting back to the point, seeing West in a singles pose, Korver's handsome face showed a hint of nervousness, and he hurriedly spread his feet and prepared to retreat sideways to defend: he was too slow, and West's nickname was Mad Dog, in addition to saying that he was crazy, he also praised him for being fast like a dog.
West raised his eyebrows, stepped forward with his left foot like lightning, Korver immediately retreated, seeing this, West smiled fiercely but pulled back the left leg that had taken the step, grabbed the ball and shot it simply, and the ball was still flying in the air when it landed, and he learned to raise his arm with his right hand like Chamberlain - and then, the ball fell into the hoop!
West's three-point shot was arrogant enough, and the Warriors immediately set off another wave of 8-2 small ****, only Millsap made Evans a foul, two free throws and two hits, and temporarily stabilized the Jazz.
Sloan could only call a timeout again, and Delong was in a new appearance, and during the time he had been sitting on the bench before, Sloan had been teaching him how to fight Billups, and this time he appeared again, and DeLong's condition was much better.
After the opening game, Kirilenko hit the basket and was blocked by Evans, and Delon chased after him to grab the ball and Kidd hit it.
Just as the Jazz know that the core of the Warriors is Chamberlain, the Warriors also know that the main point of the Jazz is Delon, and Billups is now hitting DeLong at all costs, and he wants to open the situation by crushing DeLong and let the Jazz get out of the playoffs completely.
Immediately after, Billups held the ball and singled out the game with a mid-range shot to get two points, and then, the battle between the two point guards officially kicked off, Delon borrowed Boozer's cover from Evans and Billups to directly enter the restricted area and hit the basket, and then immediately, Billups came to a straight smash Huanglong, relying on his personal ability to rush to the basket and throw a shot.
Two point guards, one ball and one ball, although both teams are trying their best to defend, but at this moment, the superstar's ability is no longer something they can block, and the confrontation between point guards has officially entered the white heat.
Halfway through the quarter, the Jazz were united, and they attacked with Delon's strong organization, Oku first made a jumper, Boozer dunked and added points again, and the Jazz went on an 11-4 attack wave in just over 3 minutes, and the difference between the two teams was narrowed to 8 points, and finally returned to single digits.
As soon as the old Nelson saw that things were not good, he was about to take a timeout, and deployed Ellis, an offensive machine, to the court, Ellis also lived up to the trust of the old coach, scoring 5 points in a row after playing, Billups's long-range heavy artillery also began to be powerful, Evans grabbed an offensive rebound and threw it to him and scored three points directly, hit!
Seeing this, Jazz was anxious, Delon pushed forward quickly with a tense face, and Billups shouted: "Surrender, rookie, now all you have to do is prepare to go home and fish, I know that a good fishing spot is located in Lake Ontario, how about boy, are you interested in having fun?" ”
"I'll play your mother!" Deron roared and threw a jumper, and Billups, although his mouth was chirping, kept paying full attention to Delon's movements, and when he found that the latter was jumping, he jumped up first to block his shot, and slapped the cap away.
Ellis grabbed the ball and rushed forward, Miles followed behind to defend, the latter just turned twenty years old this year, it is the age of young and strong, and the blood is boiling, Ellis's unscrupulous attack has already made the roots of his teeth itch, seeing that Ellis wants to end the game with a dunk this time, he pushed out from behind with a ruthless heart.
Myers was a little negligent, that is, Ellis didn't come back until the playoffs, and he was pushed from behind before causing a back injury, as the so-called eating a trench grows wise, although Ellis has always been called a 'good player in the second house', in fact, he is not lacking in heart, and rarely falls twice in one place.
Sensing Miles' ill intentions with his peripheral vision, Ellis casually threw the ball into the air and twisted his waist and threw himself out of the field, and Miles immediately pounced into the air, jumping in the air and having nowhere to borrow strength, so it was dangerous, and he hit the floor directly with his shoulder, howling and slumping to the ground.
Originally, after seeing Myers make a malicious foul move, Chamberlain and other bench players stood up all of a sudden, and after Ellis avoided and Miles fell to the ground unlucky, they immediately burst into laughter, a group of people high-fived each other, Chamberlain laughed and said: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, how reasonable our ancient Chinese saying is!" ”
The Jazz players were furious, Boozer, Delon and others surrounded Ellis with a surge of blood, and Jackson and others did not hesitate to throw their arms to meet them, murderous!
