Chapter 72
Barkley: "It seems that the Rockets' touch is completely frozen by the cold weather in Salt Lake City..."

Kenny: "That's right, the Rockets are not only affected by the geographical environment, they also have to fight against tens of thousands of Jazz fans..."

"Defence!"

Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators in Salt Lake City, the Rockets' offense was weak.

Lowry holds the ball!

In front of him is Deron, who is a circle bigger than him, and the opponent uses his height advantage to frequently put pressure on him-even though he doesn't have a basket, it still makes him extremely uncomfortable.

Not only can't see the basket, but also always stare at Deron's not-so-handsome face.

The current scoring shortage is gradually making Mr. Adelman stretched. He kept standing up and sitting down again. The commentators of TNT thought he was making secret words...

6: 0!

Another mistake!
Lowry made a mistake with Ariza who came to pick and roll, he forced a start and collided with Kirilenko who came to defend...

Although the Jazz is not a team known for fast breaks, Deron still holds the ball and rides thousands of miles, making another victory for the Jazz.

8: 0!

In fact, there is really no good way to deal with a tough point guard like Deron.

The league's top point guards like Paul and Nash are still deflated in front of him.

Mr. Adelman frowned. It seemed that if the attack did not hit again, a timeout would be inevitable.

Lowry dribbled the ball across the half court and quickly handed it to Mayo. At this time, the Energy Solution Center booed everywhere. Obviously, Mayo's provocative behavior just angered many audiences.

Hush!Wait a minute and let you all shut up!
Cross-step dribble, repeatedly looking for a breakthrough route, but this Jazz wing named Ronnie Brewer really annoyed him.

It looks thin, but it is extremely tenacious in defense.

Even if you just had a chance to break through, he will use small movements such as pulling the jersey and squeezing hard to make you uneasy.

This kind of spirit is called perseverance, and in the words of our wild game, it is called the ruffian.

He will also scare you frequently, making a posture that he is about to rush over to break your ball, which is really more annoying than a fly.

Seeing this, Scola immediately put up a high position, and Boozer immediately went around to block Mayo's passing route...

Over there, Ariza and Lowry both turned back and ran, while the Jazz were more ruthless and switched defenses directly.

Kirilenko and Deron are tall and thin and smart, and the other is stocky and quick to respond, so that the Rockets can't even get the slightest advantage.

It's like a game on the court, the Rockets make moves, and the Jazz sees their moves.

Ron staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Let me go, it seems that they are old enemies, and the other party's family background is clear to both parties.

Not anymore!
Before the 24-second violation, Mayo hit an iron-style 3-pointer and made a desperate jump shot!
The ball bounced off with a bang!

The ball just fell into Deron's hands, and he gave up the chance of a fast break and played steadily.

It seems that the Jazz are trying their best to firmly control the rhythm of the court, hoping to regain their glory through a big victory...

They put their lives to the test at the beginning of the game, and would rather miss a gorgeous fast-break opportunity than slow down and drag the Rockets into a positional battle that suits them to beat them hard.

It's like a martial arts tournament. One of the opponents takes the lead and suppresses the opponent from the beginning, without giving you any chance until the end of the game.

This is undoubtedly the usual trick of Mr. Tie Shuai Sloan.

Ron glanced at the serious-looking old man sitting on the sidelines. His eclectic and rigorous style is well-known in the entire league as a wonderful flower!
In fact, he is the same as Ron. Even though he is a coach, he actually manages the daily routine of the Jazz players. You said those freaks with different styles would dare to come to Salt Lake City to make troubles during their vacations?
It is this strict way of running the army that does not allow any deviation in the management mode. His team is often called a jazz symphony by people, and Sloan is the one who beats the beat.

It is also official that this style makes them lose something indispensable, which is also the criticism of the Jazz-it is impossible for Chang Banpo and Zhao Zilong to ride the savior alone and stage a good show of a lonely hero... And it is this kind of team basketball that relies too much on the model, so that the old coach Sloan can't figure out why he still can't win a championship trophy.

This is the case, so we have more opportunities!Ron cheered for his team from the bottom of his heart.

Well, sir, you know all my moves, didn't my rocket study you thoroughly?

It's one thing to know the opponent's moves, but it's another thing to know the opponent's moves.

Obviously, even if the Rockets knew that he was going to play the same pick-and-roll tactics for thousands of years, they could only stare blankly and be beaten up.

It was still the big bald Boozer who looked very much like an Arab uncle. With a high screen, Deron immediately slid and pulled the ball to make Lowry quiet.

Scola jumped out symbolically, and Deron ball immediately fed the ball to Boozer who took advantage of the pick-and-roll!

Hayes was in the front, Lowry was chasing behind, Boozer took a three-step basket and took off towards the basket...

With a bang, Master Hai flew backwards, and the referee whistled!
If Haiye was sentenced to a foul, it would be his second foul!
Offensive foul!Boozer looked back left and right, spreading his hands, looking innocent.

Fortunately, it was an offensive foul, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from Ron's forehead.But the offensive foul and blocking of this ball were only under the referee's thought, and Boozer was very shrewd about this ball!
Nobody knows what's going to happen on the next ball, and you know, this is Salt Lake City!Home whistle!

The reason why he chose to kill the inside of the Rockets hard is because the current lineup of the Rockets suffers too much in terms of height, and Boozer also hopes to enter the state early by simply attacking the basket...

Adelman quickly find a way!Ron was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Hehe..." Lisa next to him smiled and said, "It's much more interesting to watch the manager's expression than to watch the ball..."

Olajuwon was also laughing silly.

"Go..." Ron retorted shyly.

"Okay, I'll stay for a while, and I'll go to arrange the itinerary after the game." Lisa smiled peacefully. Unexpectedly, she looked very much like the heroine in an island game with glasses on, which made Ron's mind go blank for a while...

It's just that the current movement on the field does not allow him to be distracted. It is very likely that the Rockets will dig a big hole for themselves in the first quarter...

"Wow!"

There was a slightly surprised cry from the crowd.

Looking around, Mayo's face was sullen, and his focused expression seemed to have suppressed the depression in his chest for a long time.

Barkley: "I thought Mayo couldn't jump at all...he looks bloated..."

Kenny was amused when he heard this: "Bloated? Are you talking about yourself?"

It was a heavy dunk that symbolized the challenger's declaration. It broke the Rockets' 0-point wall by venting the rim. While everyone was amazed at the scene just now, only a few people paid attention to the young man who ran back silently on the sidelines...

Assist from Lowry!
Everyone on the Rockets bench stood up, waved towels, shouted, applauded, and even talked trash with the fans on the sidelines, as if the powerful dunk just now made everyone angry...

Delong raised his hand, and patted Okur's buttocks which stood aside in a daze.

"Forget it, it's my fault."

...

It looks very powerful!
"What happened just now?" Ron asked puzzled.

"It's Lowry..." The old consultant next to him started to do his own work with a look of surprise on his face. After drawing densely in the notebook, he said in a very unsatisfactory way: "Manager, I wonder if you have heard of the 'three-goal set theory' that is widely spread in basketball courts during bullfighting matches?"

"Oh?" Ron was instinctively curious about novel things. "Appreciate further details."

"Well, roughly speaking, it's 'use very little cost to measure some of the opponent's mentality and situation, so as to find the opponent's flaws'... Defeat the opponent in one fell swoop! Generally speaking, the more distinctive the player's mentality and situation, the easier it is to see through. What is surprising is that Lowry only spent only 3 minutes to see through Deron Williams!"

That's right, Deron didn't know why in this game, he always had some preference for gambling-style steals. Could it be that he saw that the Rockets had no inside advantage, so he could sleep peacefully even if he let Lowry rush into the inside?
Just now Hai Ye's pick-and-roll was ignored by Lowry, and he pretended to make a slippery hand. The chubby Deron was really fooled, and he lost his position and leaped forward with his hand at the same time.

Boozer and Ronnie Brewer came over at the same time, but by the way, Mayo, who was ready to pick up the leak and was so hungry, was liberated. After Lowry hit the ground skillfully, the kid immediately vented heavily on the basket. With a bang, Okur, who had just turned around, was blown off his head...

2:8!Unexpectedly, they were so entangled in the game at the beginning of the game, and finally broke the scoring drought, and the Rockets' confidence doubled for a while.

That's how it turned out. Looking at Kyle Lowry who was retreating backwards, Ron felt a little surprise in his heart.

"Manager! Compared with the rebellious Mayo, Lowry's performance in the game against the Nuggets is even more memorable. This kid will definitely become a star-level point guard in time!"

It seems that this kid is probably going to the top step by step as the old man said.

But there is no way, some people are naturally low-key and have no desire to show off.Some people are born with a star face and a demeanor.

Experts see it right, the fans don't buy it, people only remember Mayo as the final lore, and who remembers Lowry's hope that he used his body to fight...

Barkley: "It seems that the Rockets were almost suffocated by the Utah...Fortunately, they have Mayo..."

Kenny: "What? Mayo? He just showed up where he should be and dunked a dunk, it's as simple as that..."

Barkley: "That's right, but like a hyena, the natural sense of grabbing points is not innate. Anyone can do it. Only a guy with a certain talent and continuous hard work can be called an excellent scorer...Although it actually looks like a leak..."

Kenny smiled strangely: "Are you insinuating that Mayo can only pick up baskets?"

"No, haha..." Barkley pushed Kenny: "I didn't say that, but it's better than some people standing outside the 3-point line with their waists in their waists waiting!"

Back in the arena, Ariza staggered and fell to the ground, AK47 made an empty basket shot and steadily grabbed 2 points.

"Who can tell what Ariza is doing!" Ron growled angrily.

"Don't be such a manager!" Lisa gently pulled Ron.

"From the beginning to the present, what did that guy do except run back and forth a few times and pose a few times outside the three-point line?" Ron was furious, because he could clearly see that Iron Slag lost his temper and didn't work hard.

He asked for the ball a few times and refused to give it, so he simply sabotaged his work, and you didn't give it anyway.

This guy's simple little head is full of a big spoonful of paste.

Perhaps when he saw Mayo take the lead in offending Ron, he didn't suffer any severe consequences, and his lonely heart, unwilling to be a role player, was full of nostalgia for his voice of blacksmithing again...

"Hey!" Suddenly a sonorous and powerful voice roared into Ariza's heart from the sidelines, abruptly pushing him back from the road of no return that was about to set foot on the iron bar again.

Ariza, who was still struggling on the ground and refused to get up, looked at him, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

Ron's black face like an iron bag was gloomy, and his eyes shot out bursts of terrifying fierce light. Ariza rushed forward in three steps at a time, covering and assisting, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he turned into another person...

It's just that the Rockets as a whole still haven't made any improvement.

The Jazz's individual defensive ability is extremely strong. Even Boozer and Okur built an impenetrable wall in the interior today by virtue of their height advantage.

Soon time will enter the normal rotation time, everyone on the Rockets side is sad, and the fans in Salt Lake City are shouting loudly.

The first quarter was 3 minutes and 27 seconds, the score was 14:22, and the two sides entered the rotation time.

"If we continue to play like this, we will definitely send the Rockets to the ground ahead of time. The Jazz's bench can be said to be the most luxurious in the entire league!"

"They have Marvin Williams from the Eagles, Kyle Korver with a three-point shooter, and Harpring, a veteran tough guy."

There is also Paul Millsap, the superstar who will crown Atlanta in the future!

And what about the rocket?

Barkley: "Oh, an old smoking gun Brent Barry with a group of newcomers..."

Everyone outside the arena gradually shook their heads.

It's just that there were only two people at the scene who finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Ron and Adelman.

Why?

It is said that when you hit a snake, you have to hit it in the direction of seven inches...that is its weak point...

But the guy in front of the Jazz who didn't seem to be addicted to the game jumped up from the bench again...
