The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 415

Chapter 418

After a day off, the Suns ushered in a powerful enemy on December 12, the Utah Jazz. Almost from this time period, the Suns will begin to compete with the best teams in the league one by one, and the Jazz can be regarded as a very strong opponent.

After retiring in Stockton and Karl Malone left, the Jazz came to an end from the long double evil era that began in 1984. However, the Jazz’s stable and efficient management soon found a place in the draft and free market teams. Got a new substitute. Although the Jazz can be regarded as one of the smallest in the league, they are really well equipped to survive in this league.

The 2005 probing show Deron Williams and the free agent Carlos Boozer snatched from the Cavaliers, after several seasons of growth and integration, are composed of these two deformed versions of Shuangsha The New Utah Jazz began to show their power again in the West. Last season they reached the Western Conference Finals all the way, and finally fell at the feet of the Spurs. Sloan’s decades-long tactical system training has once again shown its glory in the new Jazz.

Leon had not played against the Jazz and Sloan many times before because they were in the East, and at the time when the Celtics were in their heyday, the Jazz was rebuilding, and the pizzas on both sides were tepid and there was no spark.

And this one can be regarded as a confrontation between two pick-and-roll pairs, Williams Boozer vs. Nash Stoudemire. Before the start of the game, the situation was more favorable for the Suns. The Jazz’s main center, Okur, was missing due to injury, so the Jazz did not have a center to start. Sloan discharged Boozerga Millsap’s inside combination. The Suns are still a stable regular lineup. After Stoudemire returns, as long as there are no injuries, the Suns’ starting lineup will be unstoppable.

For the regular season, nothing is more important than a stable starting lineup. This is an important prerequisite for a good record to smoothly pass the regular season and accumulate energy for the playoffs.

Dior has been a crazy addition in the past two days. People seem to be a little thinner. In this game, Leon arranged him to play against Boozer. For Dior, who has been ravaged by behemoths like O’Neal, Yao Ming and Howard Said that Boozer is a big man already trivial. One-on-one defense is not good at all times, but Dior has a breath of air in his heart, he will not easily let Boozer wreak havoc on the inside.

As a second-round pick, Boozer can now become a power forward with a stable average of 20+10 per game. It should be said to be very remarkable. Of course, he violated his contract extension promise with the Cavaliers in order to get a larger contract. The hook of Salt Lake City made him suffer a lot. But on the basketball court, after all, strength speaks for itself. Last season, with Deron Williams, the Jazz led the Jazz to make a breakthrough, proving that the Jazz’s signing is still very unique.

As a power forward, Boozer’s physical fitness is incomparable with the legendary Karl Malone in the history of the team. Whether it is strength, speed, or jumping, Boozer is one point behind Malone. Especially in terms of speed, his lateral shift on the defensive end is simply a disaster, but in the Jazz, in the Sloan system, Boozer still maximizes his overall advantage of offensive skills.

He has an excellent mid-range, and both left and right hand attack techniques are quite comprehensive, wide and thick body, solid and steady footsteps, the finishing ability after receiving the ball is quite good, is a very reliable attack arrow inside the Jazz.

On the defensive end, the Jazz have never relied on speed and intensity to weave a defensive net. They rely more on the complementary cooperation between the positions and the players, so even if the Jazz players have relatively good running and jumping ability, they can still play a tough defense. As for being defeated by opponents, this is where they are powerful.

After the start of the game, the two sides were in a stage of testing each other, and the offense was playing well. The Jazz started from Carlos Boozer. The Suns did not defend against him. They just let Dior stand alone. .

Boozer still occupies the advantage in strength. A few consecutive shots were eaten by Dior. The Suns started to grind the position first. According to Leon’s arrangement, start from Dior. Because Leon knew that in order to inspire Dior’s enthusiasm and enthusiasm on the defensive end, it would be useless to try hard to defend him and scold him, such as to make him excited and open his heart.

This is the case for offensive teams. The prerequisite for winning is that the offense is smooth, and the defense can put pressure on the opponent. When facing adversity, what we have to do is to be more determined on the offensive end and rely on goals to solve the problem. This is very different from a defensive team. Once a defensive team finds that they are in trouble, the best way to solve the problem is often to get the opponent into trouble.

After playing for more than a month, the Suns have slowly found their new rhythm, which is different from the rhythm led by D’Antoni under Leon. They didn’t come up and fight together at the beginning, but slowed down and let the players slowly enter the state. Everyone participated in the attack, accelerating a little bit, until the second half of the force, at that time they had already flown like a plane. Saturn 5 is in the air, and nothing can stop them.

As the controller, Nash knew this very well. He was semi-invisible again in the first quarter and handed the burden of organization to Dior. Dior assumed the role of point guard in the positional battle and cooperated with Stoudemire. It looks more like a shooting guard.

The first few offensives of Dior in the first quarter were not very good. His two passes made mistakes. He saw the gap of his teammates, but the technique was too horrible. At the same time, the Jazz players are highly focused. , Was intercepted both times.

Williams took the ball and directly launched a counterattack. He was strong like a small tank, and a point guard acted as a forward. This is only the third season for Deron Williams. Last season was his second. He has shown great potential in the playoffs. From the first round to the Western Conference finals, he The better he plays, the better he plays. This season, his statistics and strength have improved.

Of course, Nash couldn’t catch up with such a small tank, and couldn’t stop it. He could only watch Williams succeed in the layup twice, and the Jazz had the advantage in the first quarter.

In the middle of the break, the two sides rotated the lineup, Dior sat back on the bench sweating profusely. He had tried his best in the first quarter, but he felt a little awkward. Sure enough, just a simple one or two special training is still ineffective. The defense can’t prevent it, and the offensive end does not perform well, which makes Dior feel frustrated.

The game continued. Leon saw Dior’s frustration. He squatted beside Dior and said, “Tell me where is the best thing to do with you?”

Dior looked at Leon, panted, and shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know. Now there is some confusion in his mind, and he is really out of shape recently.

Leon stretched out his hand and patted his face and said, “Are you running fast, are you amazingly powerful, are you shooting the ball well, are your passing superb, answer me.”

Dior said: “No, not at all.”

Leon then asked: “Then tell me, why can you stand on this field and earn millions of wages~www.mtlnovel.com~ because the general manager is a fool?”

Dior said: “No, because…because they say I play…I play very smart.”

Leon patted Dior’s face again, and he could see that Dior was a little stunned now, and he wanted to make Dior’s mind sober, otherwise his condition would get worse and worse this season.

Some players are like this. During a certain period of a season, they suddenly fall. Sometimes it’s because of the bad state that accumulates over time. Sometimes it’s because they didn’t get through all of a sudden. They would fall behind in the extremely competitive NBA. Was eliminated, and finally disappeared from people’s vision.

This league is so cruel, and Leon doesn’t want to see Dior become such a player. He also points to Dior’s huge role in the team’s offense and defense. He must activate this guy.

“Use your brain more and play with your brain. I know you are smart. You know how to play the best. Don’t give up your thinking. If you don’t play well and your opponent is not pleasing to the eye, you can do it. What to order, cheer yourself up! OK? I’ll give you another five minutes to rest and think, and you will be on the stage for me in the second quarter.” Leon yelled at Dior.
