Chapter 302 Strength Can't Beat Luck?

After the break in the first quarter, we will play the second quarter.

Ford's pig raising method obviously cannot replace the three players Parish, Douglas, and Brown, and according to the Jazz's current momentum of being strong internally and weak externally... Parrish can't make any impressive statistics, but Douglas , Brown can still save it.

So the Celtics' tactic in the second quarter was to fire from the outside. Ford specifically told Douglas and Brown to increase their shots, and the others actively ran to support them. This tactic did not arouse dissatisfaction among the players, because no one wanted to toughen up Li Shengli or One of Malone's acts of rushing inside was more like suicide.

Although Parish was an average double-double center for several consecutive seasons at his peak, and he once scored 30 points + 32 rebounds in a game against the Knicks. Playing ball is really far inferior to the new generation of players.

As for Pinckney, a blue-collar player, he is like a younger brother in front of Malone, at most he can be regarded as a stable meat shield, and using strong confrontation will reduce the Jazz's offensive efficiency inside.

……

Green Kai's generals really didn't know their coach's pig raising plan, and Douglas and Brown, who were ordered by the coach to increase their shots, were very grateful.

what is this?

This is the greatest trust of the coach!

So in order to live up to Ford's reuse, the two brothers played bravely in the second quarter, and basically hit all the mid-range shots. Halfway through the second quarter, the two made 8 shots and scored 7, while Jazz's Jerry- Sloan didn't buy it anymore. After a timeout, he called Crotty and Bond who were defending the two brothers.

Jerry Sloan wouldn't be in such a hurry if the Jazz are firmly ranked No. 30 in the West in normal times, and winning or losing is irrelevant, but this game is, after all, a key game for the Jazz to hit their [-]-game winning streak.

There is still a big difference between a 29-game winning streak and a 30-game winning streak.

Although it is only one game away, although it has firmly occupied the second consecutive victory in NBA history, the significance of hitting 1 consecutive victories is extraordinary, because excellence is not perfect, so Jerry Sloan definitely does not want to win this game. The loser, and Crotty and Bond's defensive mission is very clear, that is to drive Douglas and Brown to the inside and hand it over to Li Shengli and Malone to kill.

……

Back on the field again.

Ford is also an old fox. He obviously expected the idea of ​​Sloan on the Jazz side. Douglas and Brown executed his tactics very well. Three point artillery.

Double three-point shooter?

Green Cay's home fans were all confused, because their team had never played this way before, and even the entire league couldn't find a precedent for this tactic, but what they could see was...Ford's arrangement, plus Douglas and Brown It feels hot, and the tactical effect is surprisingly good.

In the first half, the two combined for 8 of 7 and scored 14 points.

In the second half, there were still 8 shots, but these 8 shots were all three-pointers, and they hit a total of 4 times, each with 2 three-pointers.

8中4的三分命中率有些操蛋，而更操蛋的是……道格拉斯的2个三分球中有一个3+1，布朗2个三分球之外，还加了一个3罚全中。

The two combined for an astonishing 30 points in the second quarter.

……

The significance of the existence of a three-point shooter is not only that 3-pointers are more than 2-pointers, but more importantly, under Ford's arrangement, Douglas and Brown's position points stand in the left and right corners.

In this position, it is difficult for the Jazz's defense to help defend and double-team in the first place, but Douglas and Brown have amazing hands and cannot defend alone.

In addition, the Celtics' small forward Jamber started to work as a point guard and became a transfer point in the high post, which gave the Celtics' offensive system a hint of the Bulls' triangle offense.

The only difference between the two is that the Bulls focus on Jordan as a corner, but the Celtics have an isosceles triangle. Both Douglas and Brown can shoot efficiently, and the Jazz's defensive effect is not good.

……

Based on this, the Jazz's perimeter defense was exploded. Douglas and Brown became more and more excited as they played, and the more they played, the hotter they felt. In this game... Li Shengli and Malone almost cried from nausea.

To be honest, Li Shengli and Ma Long have a stable and astonishing lethality in the combination of insiders, but two points and two points, they really can't beat the two amazing three-point shooters on the opposite side, even if they are rebounding. It's useless to hold on to the Celtics.

As for Crotty and Bond defending the two three-point shooters, it's not that they don't work hard, it's because the opponent is too disgusting. No matter where you stand, you can throw the ball as soon as you get it, but they still throw it very accurately. Incomparable.

I intend to use fouls to curb this momentum, but the two brothers on the opposite side are too wild, and they can always throw the ball in the first time, either 3+1 or all 3 free throws.

Can strength beat luck?

Sometimes it's so irritating that Jerry Sloan scolds him from the sidelines.

Where did Ford find these two heroic bombardiers?It's crazy to the point of no limit, no matter how you shoot, what's even more frightening is... Although the two sides tied in the first quarter, the Jazz exploded in the second quarter.

At halftime, the score between the two sides was 51:64, with the Jazz trailing by 13 points.

Judging from this score, there is no problem with the Jazz's offense. After all, 50 points in the half is not a small number, but the problem is that Douglas and Brown of the Celtics are too amazing, and the shots floating outside the three-point line reached 50%+.

……

Fight again in the second half.

In the third quarter, as usual, Li Shengli and Malone scored two points in the paint for the Jazz, while for the Celtics... Douglas and Brown shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, shooting Li Shengli and Malone with blood. A 25:33 lag was played, and the point difference reached 21 points.

Jerry Sloan didn't want to lose yet. After all, he hit 30 games in a row, so even if Li Shengli and Malone had already covered three quarters, they didn't lose. Other positions were replaced by better physical substitutes to defend.

According to Sloan's idea, play for a while in the fourth quarter. If the Jazz still can't hold down the two bombers Douglas and Brown, there is no way to turn the game over. Li Shengli and Malone can retreat, but if Lukai The bomber misfired, and the Jazz still had to find a way to stand up again.

So the game came to the fourth quarter.

It was the first time for the Jazz to feel aggrieved, even if they bald the opponent inside, it was useless, and Jerry Sloan on the sidelines was holding his head, and he couldn't believe that this game could be played like this .

Not to mention the Jazz, Sloan swears... If any team in the league comes, it has to be in Boston today.

There are strengths and weaknesses of NBA teams, but the upper and lower limits of performance must also be considered in each game. Obviously, the Celtics' performance value has exploded, because Douglas and Brown can't handle it at all.

In the end, halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Jazz trailed by 25 points, and Jerry Sloan replaced Li Shengli and Malone, which was considered a complete give-up. As for the Celtics... the pig-raising bishop Chris Ford saw this scene and immediately Put the previously replaced Parish on the field again, and prepare to support Parish's data.

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

According to the unspoken rules of the NBA, if the disadvantaged side gives up the game, the dominant side should lose the main force, and Ford does not want to leave a bad impression on Li Shengli. After all, Douglas and Brown are already very fat. They played three and a half quarters and scored 76 points together. , so the two brothers were replaced directly.

Until the end of the game, the point difference was recovered by the Jazz by 5 points at the end of the fourth quarter, and the game ended with 99:119.

Although Li Shengli and Ma Long teamed up to score 52 points, compared with the Celtics' unsolvable outside three-pointer, the two brothers felt powerless. Reece Ford went straight to Li Shengli.

"Li, you played so beautifully in today's game." Ford smiled like a dog's tail flower, and the Jazz were collectively stunned.

Taunt us?

Or is the head coach taking the lead in mocking?

Li Shengli had a cold face, and he didn't even want to talk to the man in front of him. After all, soldiers faced soldiers and generals faced generals, because he saw Mr. Sloan killing him.

"Go away, idiot." Jerry Sloan was so violent that he even dared to hit the referee, and he sprayed Ford in the face when he came up.

Although this circle is not big, there is not much hostility when the head coach meets each other on weekdays, but Ford has personally ridiculed him, and Sloan doesn't complain about him.

"Don't say that, we won in the end, didn't we?"

"Joke! Look at your ridiculous look now. Winning us is like celebrating Christmas. How long has it been since you led the team to win?" Jerry Sloan was a little troll when he played, but now he is In addition to the head coach, it can only be said that the skill of spraying people is getting better and better.

How long has it been since we won?

Hearing this, Ford's face turned green, "Whatever you say, I ignore you anyway. Li, look at our home court, do you like it here?"

After Ford finished speaking, he started directly, which meant that he was going to pull Li Shengli to have a good look at Lukai's home court, but Jerry Sloan immediately jumped up and slapped Ford's hand away, "Go away, don't touch my people."

"Why, you don't know?" Ford looked at Jerry Sloan in surprise, "Dude, it seems that the relationship between Larry Miller and you is not as good as the rumors, to be honest, these capitalists They have no conscience, they care more about their own interests, so you better not take it too seriously."

"And... your people will not be your people soon."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting, good luck, man!"

Ford left after finishing speaking, not only Jerry Sloan, everyone on the Jazz was stunned when they heard this, and no one was a fool. The meaning behind Ford's words was very clear, that is, someone in the Jazz would be trade.

It doesn't make sense for the Jazz's trading operations. Jerry Sloan didn't know about it, but Ford, an outsider, knew about it first? !No one could figure it out, including Jerry Sloan himself.

"Coach, why do I have a bad premonition!" Ma Long was stunned for no reason. Although he didn't believe Ford's words, there must be a reason for the groundless things, and the more important thing is... Ford just showed Li Shengli Unusual enthusiasm.

"Don't talk nonsense, prepare for a press conference later."

"But what's wrong with it?"

"You don't have to worry about these, leave it to me."

Jerry Sloan didn't even say a word of extra nonsense, and returned to the locker room with a cold face, while Malone couldn't relieve the stuffiness in his chest no matter how deeply he took a deep breath.
