Chapter 76 Confrontation!Sparks splash!
What do you do when you really can't beat your opponent?
Then at least try to bring the opponent to your rhythm first. —Ron language.

The second quarter enters a regular timeout.

The players sat on the bench and took a deep breath.

At this time, it is clear that altitude sickness is not good news.

The Utah Jazz quickly arranged tactics, and Deron Williams had already walked to the technical stage, gearing up and eager to try.

Mayo also took a deep breath, put on new braces and was ready to go...

It is rare for the arrow figures of the two teams to witness the changes on the field from the bench, and here, in front of the Rockets bench, Adelman is still tirelessly drawing on the tactical board...

The referee whistles and the Rockets serve.

38:46, 7 minutes and 12 seconds.

At this time, the Rockets' lineup was Lowry, Mayo, Budinger, Scola, and Hayes. The Jazz, except for Collins who replaced the sweaty Carlos Boozer, were all starting in the first quarter.

Lowry holds the ball!In his mind is still the sentence that Mr. Adelman said just now...

"Remember, we can't always be dragged into positions by them...it's better to let them run too...disrupt their rhythm..."

It's still the most basic Princeton, Scolara pulls to the high position, and Haiye provides cover for the other two outside shooters.

This time Scola easily received the ball from Lowry, immediately distributed it to Mayo who was empty, and flew Ronnie Brewer from outside the 3-point line, and went straight to the inside...

Turkey's big center Okur stood on the inside, Mayo stuck to him and forcibly missed a throw, Hayes soared down an offensive rebound, which was the second poor offensive rebound for the Rockets after Scola's magical rebound in the second quarter...

Pass Budinger 3-point shot!
The ball spun a circle in front of the basket, Haiye hit the offensive rebound again, and this time he attacked and scored the ball.

Without Millsap, without Boozer, and without the two great rebounders, the Jazz are gradually struggling on the boards.

40: 46.

Although it was amazing, both Ron and Mr. Adelman knew that this was not what they wanted.

It seems that Deron is not as anxious to grab points as Ron imagined, he is still pressing the rhythm and step by step.

The Rockets responded calmly.

Deron still used his height and big strides to break through Lowry and easily break through the entire defensive system of the Rockets.

Point the ball, Ronnie Brewer opened 3 points!
Miss!

Hayes grabbed the backboard!

Old coach Sloan stood up with a livid face, and Millsap, who had just rested for less than a few minutes behind him, immediately took off his jersey and was ready to play.

There is a problem with the Jazz lineup!
These were the words that immediately imprinted in Ron's mind.

They can't even hit the basket, how can they play against us?
Without the inside scorer Boozer, the old-school tempo method seems to be unable to knock on the Rockets' door... They also frequently lose defensive rebounds and look very ugly...

Kirilenko, the defensive titan...

So is Ronnie Brewer.

Okur can only play the performance of a blue-collar player in this defensive lineup, and his contribution due to slow movement is not as good as that of the authentic blue-collar Collins (this guy even admitted that he is gay a while ago, I don’t know how the strict master Sloan felt when he found out, embarrassing)...

Of course, apart from the short-lived Hayes just now, the Rockets were defended against a 24-second violation for the second offense...

pause!

Even so, coach Sloan generously attached a long timeout.

All Team Rocket breathed a sigh of relief...

Right now, in addition to the steel-framed Jazz defensive iron barrel formation, they also have to face the noise from tens of thousands of fans in Salt Lake City and the challenge of the plateau environment.

In short, rest as much as you can.

After one or two rounds, Mayo's complexion basically returned to the state of hypoxia in the second half of the first quarter...

Must have done a lot of bad things last night...

The bastard!Ron glared at him.

Coach Sloan doesn't see any chance for a timeout. If the problem is not resolved, he will call another timeout immediately.

After another flute, Paul Millsap, the black goalkeeper, replaced Collins and returned to the court. He seemed to be breathing smoothly and full of energy.

Come on, come and beat us up!

I don't know if Ron thinks he's a bit cheap, but this guy in front of him is definitely a treasure picked up by the Jazz manager's shit luck. You must know that whoever was selected by the Rockets in the second round didn't even remember his name, and Millsap will at least be a star-level player in the future.

Ron shook his head bitterly, only hating himself for not galloping in this field prematurely...

Well, the Jazz launched the charge horn, and Millsap is the "flower protector" of the charge captain Deron.

pick and roll!Switch!
Millsap faces Lowry again!

He remembered the scene where 2 plus 1 was created just now, and he couldn't help feeling angry...

Overlord step!Relying on his height and strength, Millsap crushed the past arrogantly and unreasonably, and went straight to the basket all the way, hardening up...

The ball hit the board and went into the frame, and he still went back to the defense and asked the referee to argue, thinking that Lowry had fouled himself in the air just now...

This will be Adelman's turn to frown. If this fight continues, the Jazz will still drag you to death with positional warfare.

With a big wave of his hand, Trevor Ariza, who was bullied by Boozer as a guest power forward just now, came back into battle...and replaced Scola, the core of the Rockets inside...

The audience was in an uproar...

Soon the Rockets became a team that didn't even have a serious insider. Ariza stepped up to support, and after receiving the ball, he changed direction and accelerated to shake off the bulky Okur.

Just came back, Hayes down became the Rockets' offensive point.

The rocket is like a Texas cockroach that can't be killed. Whenever you think he is dead, he is still alive and kicking under your nose.

Seemingly seeing this, when Deron started again, he simply went straight inside. Millsap caught the ball and turned back and turned left and right. Ariza was pinched with a big elbow and made a small throw...

Anyway, the inside of the rocket is simply undefended, so if you want to enter, go in!
But we're going to catch you and catch you off guard!
The Jazz hadn't settled down yet, and Mayo and Lowry started a fast break on the back foot, followed by Chasen Budinger, who likes to shoot cold arrows!
Lowry pulled the ball back with a wide range, and then sent the ball lightly with inertia. Mayo didn't even look at it, and directly smashed the ball to the bottom corner with his fist!

Budinger's first 3-point shot in this field!The posture is sharp and heroic...

A figure came from the slanting stab, blocking the enemy's scud in the air like a Patriot missile!
oh-my-goodness!The audience was in an uproar!
Andrei Kirilenko!

When the announcer boss roared loudly, tens of thousands of Salt Lake City fans cheered thunderously!
This is a thunder cap!Fly the fan directly to the audience!
The Russians are not only nicknamed AK47, but the way they play is so dazzling...

Many fans applauded him in surprise, but a sinister smile flickered on the corner of his mouth... This kind of blocking has long been commonplace for this tall and long-armed guy...

Dragging into the position station, the Rockets are not fun, Ariza mentioned the high position again, this time no one will care about his fake shots...

Tiezha's biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't believe in evil, and he once again turned into a blacksmith and smashed the ball into the hoop.

See if it doesn't work, the old man sent David Anderson on the field again, and Budinger, who had suffered a great humiliation just now, sat on the bench sullenly.

At this moment, he finally had an inside support. Even if he looked weak, it was more than enough to deal with a fake center like Okur floating on the outside.

Although Deron was still negligent on the perimeter and frequently delivered shells to his teammates, Millsap frequently hit the iron under the care of Hayes. He seemed to be trying his best to fight the basket.

At this moment, Mr. Sloan groaned and sent Kyle Korver to replace Ronnie Brewer.

Swish!As soon as he played, Korver lived up to expectations and hit a 3-pointer, opening the point difference to more than 10 points. Then he was almost knocked down by Mayo, and watched Mayo shoot or pass again and again.

Now Sloan is not in a hurry, but Deron is in a hurry. Seeing that he is not as good as when the big bald Boozer led the army independently, his face as a leader suddenly loses all glory.

Deron was really in a hurry, and he didn't care about the rhythm when he dribbled the ball. He rushed inside, causing damage to the Rockets several times, and made free throws steadily.

But this is also the effect Adelman wants...

Come on, sir.Let's see who can score more!

The two sides came and went, and fought against each other. The old men and coaches of both sides were not idle, and frequently made moves, prescribing the right medicine, and attacking the opponent's shortcomings.

The score kept rising, and the point difference basically hovered between 6 and 11 points. Everyone gritted their teeth and refused to breathe a sigh of relief...

This is a battle between two gray-haired old men.

Adelman's strategy was to allow the Rockets to regain the rhythm of the entire game and drag the Jazz into their fast-playing whirlwind; and Mr. Sloan saw the physical hidden dangers brought by the plateau terrain to the Rockets, regardless of these flaws. Whenever the score was close to 6 points, the Rockets always took a breath to catch up...

Soon the Jazz widened the gap again.

Deron scored 2 free throws steadily, and Lowry had already committed 3 fouls and went to rest obediently, 47 to 58!

Australian center David Anderson is on par with Okur on the offensive end. The Turk is all about grabbing points, soaring 3 points, and frequently letting this guy awkwardly send the ball into his own basket.

Attacking the enemy's weaknesses with his strengths seems to be the correct tactical intention, but Ron also felt that something was ignored by the old man...

correct!That is the Jazz's almost "dirty" style of play-those brutal and unreasonable iron elbow collisions, those fearless physical contact, and even more ruthless rough actions when fouling...

This will not only accelerate the loss of physical strength of the Rockets players, but also make the Rockets players' emotions fluctuate...

Ron saw it anxiously, and kept looking at the remaining time of the game.

3 minutes 47 seconds.

The game continued and the ball was scored. Although there were no bright spots to speak of, it was not boring. The Jazz emphasized physical confrontation and fought fiercely on the scene, often fighting for a ball.

Hayes took another elbow. He covered the bridge of his nose and hit the offensive rebound with one hand in seconds. The referee paused temporarily, and Mayo rushed over and shoved Okur with a stride.

The scene suddenly became lively, and many fans who were tired of shouting and booing people immediately cheered up and booed Mayo again.

"What do you mean?" All the players on the Jazz went up and questioned with a look of incomprehension. Mayo did not back up and raised his head and asked back: "This guy is too dirty to play. Is it necessary to move his elbow? I am reminding him!"

"Fuck you! Didn't your mother teach you to speak politely?" Okur was pulled away, and Millsap, who was on the side with a fiery temper, yelled at him.

"Try saying one more sentence! I'll kill you!"

It was difficult to see the cool brother Mayo so domineering before, which is not a good sign.All the other players and the referee pulled the two apart one after another, and the referee even gave a T to one of them, a technical foul!
Both tempers were cooled by the coach on the bench, and Mayo, who was violent, was fined by the league after the game.

In fact, in this game, he has been suffocated by Ronnie Brewer's non-stop violations, and he is worried that he has nowhere to vent it!
"Fighting is bad!" Ron muttered.

Olajuwon next to him also nodded.

Barkley: "This game looks much more intense than expected! I had a pillow ready, and it doesn't look like I need it."

Kenny: "That's right, both teams are related teams... But it's only natural for Boozer to replace Millsap, and Mayo's end will be a major loss for the Rockets..."

What's worse is that without Mayo, the arrow character, the enemy's vision under his aura of luring the enemy can only be shared on other people.

Regardless of the prestige of the leading players, their names are often written on the blackboard by the coach of the visiting team and marked with a red circle.

The reason why Mayo has not performed well in the Nuggets game in these two games is the problem here!
But judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the Rockets who lost Mayo to catch up with the score.

In the last 2 minutes of the first half, did the Rockets collapse first due to exhaustion and were blown away by the Jazz; or did the Jazz not continue their scoring momentum and temporarily let the Rockets go?

Now without Mayo, Korver no longer has to worry about being shot into an hourglass, but he never thought that he was about to be shot into a hornet's nest...

On the path of Mayo's fall, a man who looked like a weak scholar stood up from the bench...

　The author is lazy and left nothing behind.
