Chapter 620 Hard Battle in Salt Lake City [-]
On March 3, the Warriors challenged the Jazz away.

The Jazz have a good record, and because they are the top in the Northwest Division, they can enter the top four at worst. Before meeting the Warriors, their record was 43 wins and 23 losses.

This year, many powerful teams have sprung up in the West, such as the Mavericks, Suns, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Jazz. And they are all distinctive.Like the Jazz, their home record is extremely high.

Salt Lake City has returned to the ferocity of the Utah Shuangsha period, and has become a veritable home of the devil.

The Warriors come, and the odds are lower than the Jazz at home.

Fisher also contracted the flu, and there was one less player at the point guard position.

The Warriors started with Monta Ellis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Yang Di and Tyson Chandler.

Jazz lineup is very neat, Deron - Williams, Ronnie - Brewer, Andre - Kirilenko, Carlos - Boozer and Mehmet - Okur.

Entering the second year of his career, Deron Williams averaged 16 points and 9 assists per game, especially the 9.3 assists per game, which amazed the entire NBA.In the current assists list, second only to the Sun's Steve - Nash, higher than Chris - Paul and Jason - Kidd.

Energy Solutions Arena, Utah.

As the birthplace of Mormonism in Salt Lake City, the Jazz is a team that abides by the rules and discipline from top to bottom.Counting from Malone and Stockton, this team has rarely had the kind of dissolute, clubbing guy.Sloan's control over this team has always been at the top level, like an army of Puritans.

Compared with other arenas, Energy Solutions arena is very "steep". The whole arena looks like a deep well, which makes people feel chilling.The purpose of this design is not to "scare the children". Its purpose is to gather the cheers and cheers of all the fans in the arena, as well as the boos and trash talk aimed at the visiting team, gather like waves, and rush to the bottom of the arena together. The arena, this terrifying momentum, to a large extent, can make the visiting team feel frightened and shuddering.

No matter the sport, no matter the league, professional or amateur, the home team always wins better.First, the right time, place and people are of course a category of "metaphysics", but you have to believe that under the cheers and cheers of the home audience, it will indeed increase the team's combat effectiveness; secondly, the home team has a higher winning rate, which is also in line with Interest demand, because only by making the fans happy can stimulate consumption and drive income growth.

What's more, the Jazz is operating at a high altitude, similar to the Denver Nuggets located in the Colorado Plateau. The Utah Jazz's home court is also built at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level.If you do strenuous exercise at this height, the most intuitive effect will be altitude sickness, that is, hypoxia.

Therefore, under the influence of many factors, once the strength of the Jazz players improves, the Energy Solutions Arena will easily become the most terrifying devil's home stadium in the league.

The Warriors players don't like to come to Utah to play very much, and the suburban hotels they live in are also extremely uncomfortable. When they come to the arena on the night of the game, they are exhausted.

"Huh~" Yang Di let out a breath and finished the warm-up training.

After the fans in the arena were seated, the scene was very noisy, and the attendance rate was quite high.

Tyson Chandler and Memir Okur stand in the center circle.

The Jazz's jump ball is a problem. Okur's jumping ability is average, Boozer's wingspan is impressive, and George Karl even considered letting Kirilenko, who is a small forward, jump the ball.

Think about it or forget it, it's just a kick-off, and it's not particularly important to the Jazz.

At the start of the game, Chandler easily jumped to win the kickoff.

Jazz fans are used to it. After a season, the Jazz has not won a few jump balls.

Monta Ellis started for the first time in his career, his lips trembling with excitement, and after holding the ball, he waved his arms and advanced forward, and Deron Williams blocked him.

In the second season, Deron has begun to become very strong. After more than a year of systematic training, it can be seen that he is working very hard.

And Monta Ellis has gone through training, but he is still the same as he just entered the league. He is black and thin, and it can only be seen by careful observation. His arms are much stronger than before.

The Warriors attacked, and the audience roared like a tsunami: "Kill the Warriors, kill the Warriors..."

The momentum hit people's eardrums, and the players' hearts inevitably changed.

Monta Ellis was not in a hurry to attack, and silently said in his heart: "Calm, calm..."

On the right side of the elbow, Yang Di provided a cover for Ray Allen to run without the ball. Ray Allen came out, and then suddenly cut to the basket, around Tyson Chandler's body, to the left Run outside the three-point line.

Yang Di blocked Boozer with his back and opened his hand for the ball.

Monta Ellis lobs the ball in, Yang Di catches it and turns to face Boozer.

The bald-headed Boozer is tall, with a ferocious appearance, and his tendons are not inferior to Yang Di, or even worse. In the Jazz, he was trained as the second generation of Malone.

Boozer's technical characteristics are indeed very similar to Malone's. Both are good mid-range offensive players, both rebound well, can resist people at the basket, and have average defense capabilities.

Yang Di grabbed the basketball with both hands and almost put it on the floor.

Boozer opened his hands in front, ready to fight.

"Carlos."

"Huh?" Boozer looked at Yang Di suspiciously.

Yang Di suddenly showed a smile: "Your footsteps can't prevent me, right? Coach Sloan doesn't know this, you know, I thought about you, it's easy."

Boozer was a little angry, and Yang Di was too arrogant. In the wave of chanting "defeat the Warriors", he dared to speak wild words.

"Then just try our Jazz's defense." Boozer snorted coldly, lowering his weight heavily.

Yang Di leaned over with his right foot and hit the ground with his left hand.

"Pa~" The basketball was switched to the right hand, and his body leaned forward. Yang Di made a wrong step, turned his knee, and his body suddenly exerted strength.

Boozer took the initiative to get close to Yang Di, and used his strong chest to withstand Yang Di's body. At the same time, his right arm circled around, and his left hand turned into a palm, pushing Yang Di secretly to slow down his impact.

Yang Di was furious in his heart, pulled the basketball horizontally, and jumped to open the space.

As soon as he jumped away, Boozer took his hand back, and Yang Di pulled the ball horizontally to interrupt the impact. Boozer moved quickly and followed Yang Di in small steps.

Yang Di dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row. He felt that the dribble was too long, and returned the ball to Monta Ellis on the outside. He encountered a lot of trouble when he attacked for the first time.
