Chapter 401 The Big Picture

When he first entered the league, it was said that Deron had higher plasticity and growth than Paul. After all, Deron, who is 1 meters tall, is stronger and stronger than Paul.

However, Paul's super ball-handling ability and innate passing awareness quickly gained a foothold in the Hornets and became the first player to show his talents in the 05 rookie class.

It was not until January that Deron took control of the banner of the Jazz. He played in double figures in assists in many games. After integrating into Sloan's pick-and-roll system, he gradually found a way to easily pass the ball to get assists and to be able to host himself. The way the ball hits the basket, the data has improved, and the personal level has also improved by leaps and bounds.

During this period, he had some appearances, and the Jazz's record has also been improved.

At this time, the Jazz are ninth in the Western Conference, 11 games behind the Warriors.

The Jazz will work hard for the playoffs again. Sloan, as a famous coach in the league, knows very well that the core of the Jazz is very young. Entering the playoffs will be a big boost in confidence for them. However, players' early careers are actually so long. Once they are over 25 years old and have not found the best way to win, their achievements will be limited.

Fans in the Bay Area cheered to welcome players from their teams to the field.

Warriors starters: PG Baron Davis, SG Danny Granger, SF Mike Dunleavy, PF Yang Di, C Tyson Chandler.

Jazz starting: PG Deron - Williams, SG Devon - Brown, SF Andre - Kirilenko, PF Carlos - Boozer, C Mehmet - Okur.

Jazz's starting players are also very young, Deron is a rookie, Devin Brown and Boozer are players drafted in 02, Okur entered the league in 01, although Kirilenko was selected in 99 , but he did not enter the league until 01, and he was only 18 years old when he was selected, and he is only 25 years old now.

Compared with the Warriors, the average age is actually lower.

Both sides are young teams, but the record of the Warriors is so much better, which makes the Jazz players very dissatisfied. After all, after fighting against the Warriors in the past two years, I feel that the Warriors are nothing special, and they are not particularly difficult to fight.

Okur and Chandler stand to the center circle.

Yang Di stood in front of Baron Davis, waiting for the two to jump the ball.

Yang Di was thinking about how to suppress Deron's passing assists and at the same time improve his assists. It was obvious for him to collect statistics!
"what happened?"

Baron Davis looked at Yang Di and seemed a little distracted, and asked worriedly.

"No, I'm a little tired back to back."

"Stay focused, win this game and we will be able to rest for two days."

"En." Yang Di nodded.

The referee blew his whistle, the red light counted down, the basketball was thrown straight into the air, Tyson Chandler and Mehmet Okuzizi jumped, and the game officially began.

Chandler wins the jump ball, and the basketball goes back.

Yang Di moved slightly to the left, reached out and grabbed the basketball.

"Crack!" Baron Davis dribbled forward.

In the frontcourt, the Warriors players stood scattered. After Yang Di got to the inside line, he ran back to the upline, and then played a pick-and-roll with Baron Davis in a high position.

On the wing, Tyson Chandler screens both Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy off the ball.

When Danny Granger came out, there happened to be an open spot, and Baron Davis made a decisive decision. Instead of playing a pick-and-roll with Yang Di, he distributed the ball to Danny Granger.

After half a season, Granger has grown a lot, and his ability to handle the ball is stronger.

When the basketball was received, the Jazz's defense was already in place. He didn't choose to make a strong shot. After a fake shot, he followed the direction of the ball and went to the bottom line to break through.

At this time, Yang Di was walking towards the basket, and Boozer was very focused on defense and followed step by step.

Yang Di suddenly accelerated his withdrawal and came to the free throw line area. Danny Granger moved the ball in a small range after attracting double-teams, and gave the ball to Yang Di.

Yang Di bumped his feet, leaned back slightly, and raised his hand to shoot after catching the ball.

Boozer's defense was a bit slow, and when he reacted to make up for the position, Yang Di had already raised his hand. His arms were short and his bounce was average, so he couldn't interfere with Yang Di at all.

"Shua!" With a sound, the spinning basketball hollowed into the frame.

"Nice, what a wonderful shot!"

Assistant coach Ron Adams and head coach Montgomery shouted at the same time, and Yang Di simply caught and shot the ball, which is a reasonable tactic that basketball games are looking for.

Jazz attack.

Deron Williams holds the ball outside the three-point line.

The bearded Baron Davis and Deron faced each other. Deron observed Baron Davis' thick arms and couldn't help swallowing.

In terms of body, he is also strong, but compared with Baron Davis who is at his peak, he is obviously inferior.

Baron Davis' muscles are like steel. After dribbling the ball under his crotch, Deron changed direction and broke through, hitting Baron Davis' body without moving.

"boom!"

Deron himself felt a surging force coming, and he couldn't control the basketball in his hand.

At this time, Carlos - Boozer moved up to pick and roll for Deron - Williams, Deron dribbled to the right, while breaking through the ball, looked up to observe the situation on the court.

Yang Di let go of Boozer and switched defenses to put pressure on Deron holding the ball.

At this time, Deron should be able to pass to Boozer who is open, but Deron noticed Mike Dunleavy who was switching defenses, and there was a composition of everyone on the field in his mind.

He lifted the basketball with his arm and flicked it, and the basketball suddenly disappeared from his hand, whizzing over everyone's heads.

Then one end was distributed to the Jazz players in the bottom corner.

There, Andrei Kirilenko was in an open position. The moment he received the ball, there was no one three meters in front of him, and he jumped up decisively to shoot.

He was also upbeat, hitting a three-pointer on his first shot, and the Jazz led the Warriors by 3 point 2-1.

"Such a beautiful sense of passing through the ball, such an excellent overall situation!"

Yang Di's eyes lit up. Seeing Deron's pass defense, he seemed to have some inspiration in his mind. A good pass is the amount of advance, and an excellent pass master will advance the ball according to the changes in the opponent's defense. Pass to the position where the basketball should be, forming a dislocation or open space.

Deron got one assist as soon as he came up, and he was very happy. He entered the Jazz and was instilled by Sloan in the idea of ​​connecting teams. He was happier getting an assist than shooting a basketball himself.

Meanwhile, Warriors coach Montgomery was lost in thought.

Sloan's pick-and-roll system is very mature. Boozer favors Deron's two strong points on the ball-holding side. If the Warriors have help defense, Deron will distribute the ball to the weak side. The ball is given to Boozer to finish the offense.
