Chapter 750 The tenacious jazz

The fourth game between the Lakers and the Jazz will be played in two days, and the Lakers are preparing for it.

On the day of the game, Kobe was interviewed by the media again in the open training hall.

Sweeping is a topic that the Lakers can't escape in the future.

Almost all the media asked Kobe about the sweep.

Regarding this kind of topic, Kobe will always use only one sentence: "The Lakers do not make any guarantees about sweeps. Sweeps are our goal, because it will bring us a lot of adjustment time, but I know that the coaching staff of the Jazz will not agree. The strength of the Jazz is stronger than that of the Grizzlies. They will definitely find a more aggressive way to prevent the team from being swept out."

Kobe's words hit the nail on the head, and he didn't give the media any chance to create public opinion.

Soon, the fourth game between the Lakers and the Jazz officially began at the Jazz's home court, the Energy Solutions Arena.

Like the last game, the Jazz fans in the Energy Solution Arena were very aggressive, and even when the Lakers players passed through the player tunnel, they were unanimously abused by the Jazz fans.

The faces of the Lakers players are not very good. The Lakers generals who are usually respected in the NBA find it difficult to accept the vulgar radical culture of the Jazz.

However, Ge Feng has been persuading the players to think about it. After all, the fans are also part of the game, and it is impossible for them to give up the game because of the fans' scolding.

The faces of the Lakers players were full of anger and determination.

They can't wait to solve the game within 4 games. They don't want to come back to a devil's home court like Salt Lake City in their life.

Compared with the Lakers, the expressions on the faces of the Jazz players are much calmer.

The strength of the Lakers this season is something the Jazz have always known.

Although they are 0-3 behind the Lakers, the Jazz don't find it very difficult to accept. What they have to do is to steal a victory from the Lakers, a championship-level team.

The Jazz are just not reconciled to being swept by the Lakers. As for whether the Lakers can be reversed in the end, it depends entirely on God's will.

In the first three games, the Jazz played in the most perfect state in every game.

Especially in the second and third games, Mitchell, Gobert, and Conley all played the best form of their careers, but they still inevitably lost.

The reason for this, in addition to Ge Feng's key three-point shooting ability, the Lakers' overall tactics and lineup strength, are unmatched by the Jazz.

"The feeling of being behind 0 to 3 makes us very desperate, but there are many ways to lose. I really don't want to lose the series 4 to 0!"

Before the game, Jazz coach Snyder said this to his players.

The team members bowed their heads one by one and did not speak.

Obviously, what Snyder said reached their hearts.

The morale of the Jazz players was not completely defeated by the Lakers. In the fourth game, the Jazz team was united, and no matter what, they had to win back at their home court.

The performance of Utah players is undoubtedly the most encouraging thing for Utah fans.

After the two teams played, the situation was still very anxious. Snyder's game gave people a feeling of breaking the can. Snyder, who usually rotates with eight or seven people, suddenly used an 11-man rotation.

Every player on the Jazz team played no more than 5 minutes, which allowed the Jazz team to maintain a full sprint from the beginning of the game.

In the fourth game between the Lakers and the Jazz, fans can often see such a scene:
Whenever the Lakers' tactics are completed and the point difference is gradually widened, the Jazz will have an unfamiliar face stand up and continue to score incredible points for the team again and again, forcing the game to retain suspense.

Snyder allowed eleven players to participate in the rotation. Although tactically, the Jazz seemed to be overwhelmed by the Lakers, but in terms of hard work, the bench players who had never had a chance to play, were fully fired in this game, causing great trouble for the Lakers.

Both Mitchell and Conley began to rush inside.

While restricting Davis, Gobert can also make up for Ge Feng in time to build an indestructible barrier for the Jazz's defense.

In addition to these three team cores, the other players of the Jazz relied on enthusiasm and hard work in this game to forcibly raise the quality of offense and defense to a higher level.

At the end of the game, Mitchell once again scored a super data of 32+11.

However, during the game, the Jazz allowed Davis to receive offensive fouls on the offensive end several times. Davis, who was fouled 5 times in the game, was almost sent off, and the overall playing time was less than 30 minutes.

It was such an obvious gap between the enemy and the enemy that caused the Lakers to lose to the Jazz 91 to 104 in the away game and lost to Salt Lake City.

For the first time in the series against the Lakers, the Big Three of the Jazz ushered in an explosion at the same time.

米切尔31分11助攻，戈贝尔27分14篮板，康利22分7助攻5篮板，让戈锋全场最高的38分成为空砍。

After the loss, the Lakers did not stay in Salt Lake City for a moment. They couldn't wait to leave the city that made them sad.

After the game, what Kobe said in front of the media made the fans respect the Lakers' character very much.

Kobe first highly praised the Jazz's halftime performance, and said: "The Jazz played an epic teamwork."

"The Jazz had a total of 11 people on the court, and 11 of them scored. This shows that the Jazz played a battle for all the people. The Lakers are not wronged. The Jazz deserves this victory."

After praising the Jazz, Kobe began to boost the morale of the Lakers.

"We can't feel frustrated because of a loss, and I think the Lakers need a glorious defeat to let us realize that the Lakers are not invincible in the world. In this world, there are still many teams that can threaten us. We must work harder in training and show more firm beliefs to go to the end and the day when we win the O'Brien trophy."

"The series between the Lakers and the Jazz may not end in Salt Lake City, Utah, but it will definitely end in Los Angeles."

When the reporters heard Kobe's words, they all felt that Kobe's emotional intelligence was very, very high.

When Kobe was young, he always felt rebellious and rebellious.

However, as Kobe gradually grew up, he was no longer a stunned young man in the eyes of fans, but grew into a sufficiently good "Big Brother of the Lakers".

Kobe began to communicate with each player, asking why they were unwilling to train hard.

He began to like to listen to the experience of successful people, and Kobe's eyes were always bright every time he heard his predecessors share their successful experience.
