Chapter 622 Fighting Hard in Salt Lake City III

The players of the Salt Lake City Jazz made a lot of small moves, and Yang Di frowned. They were keen on confrontation, and their range expanded to beyond the three-point line.

It takes an astonishing amount of stamina to play on a team like this.

Montgomery is also an experienced coach. In addition, the Warriors are still leading the field and have a large number of players in rotation. The young Louis Williams also made his debut in this game.

Louis Williams was obviously very excited. He faced Dee Brown, who was just selected by the Jazz with the 16th overall pick in the second round last year.

The two were flexible on the outside, dribbling the ball in a bullfighting manner. Louis Williams crossed his legs and turned to the right. He opened up a little space and raised his hand to shoot. Dee Brown quickly caught up with the block, but failed to block. he.

Louis Williams's shot still has a slight back, his body drifts in the air, and it seems that his shot is particularly unreliable.

"Shh!"

But the basketball was thrown in by him, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yang Di and Ray Allen applauded on the sidelines in unison, as if they had rehearsed.

Under the defensive pressure of Salt Lake City, Ray Allen's shooting touch was not very good. In the first quarter, he only scored 5 points on 1 of 2 shots and 2 turnovers.

"Deron Williams' big picture is great, and there's a reason the Jazz are strong this season."

Ray Allen nodded, "I seem to have really seen the combination of John Stocker and Karl Malone. Sloan also painstakingly put together a pick-and-roll lineup. His tactical thinking will never be eliminated no matter what time it is." .”

"The core of all tactics is inseparable from pick-and-rolls and screens." Yang Di agreed with Ray Allen's views.

He looked up and saw the real-time score of the two teams on the big screen at the scene. The Jazz was 31 to 29 and led the Warriors by 2 points.

Louis Williams advanced quickly, calmly scored the ball in the frontcourt, and gave it to power forward David Lee.

Lee catches the ball from mid-range. Paul Millsap, who is defending him, is a [-]th position who is a little shorter than him, and he is some distance away from him. It seems that the defense is a bit watery.

David Lee shot directly and confidently, and hit the mid-range jumper steadily.

Paul Millsap is a player with a different style from the Jazz. He doesn't have so many small moves in his hands. Although he is also very strong, he is not particularly keen on confrontation.On the contrary, David Lee, who served as Yang Di's substitute in the Warriors, always learned Yang Di's way of playing, rampaging, keen on hand-to-hand combat under the basket, breakthroughs with the ball and mid-range jumpers.

What really allowed Millsap to enter Sloan's field of vision was his excellent rebounding ability. Although he was not tall, Millsap dared to fight hard on the court. This was his rookie season, and he averaged less than 20 minutes per game. During the playing time, he averaged 5.2 rebounds per game, 2.2 of which were offensive rebounds.

Both Ronnie Brewer and Millsap were rookies in 06. The arrival of the two formed the Jazz's complete lineup and was also a key factor in the Jazz's rise this season.

The Warriors use David Lee and Biedrins as a substitute insider. After these two seasons, they have matured a lot and can contribute a lot of energy on the court.

It's just that amidst the tsunami of boos in the energy plan arena, it is inevitable that his performance will be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Lou Williams, a relentless player, played well and took the opportunity to hit the jumper, although his shot selection didn't seem to make sense.

"The Raider of the Warriors!"

Sloan muttered to himself. He thought that after Fisher was injured, the Warriors would find it more difficult to be a point guard. In the end, they actually found two point guards. They still had a strong desire to attack. , a non-organizational trendy point guard.

The Warriors' bench lineup worked hard and overtook the score, forcing Sloan to call a timeout.

"Your defense is too weak. Be more aggressive and aggressive. Don't let these rookies score goals over your goddamn heads!"

Sloan yelled with a thick neck, and the heads of the Jazz players who were scolded by him all lowered.

He's a strict coach and he doesn't like to see his players lose games because they don't work hard enough.

The Jazz players all clenched their fists silently.

Yang Di came on and singled the young Millsap in the low post.

To his surprise, Millsap looked young, and his figure was not particularly burly, but his trunk strength was very good, his feet stood firmly on the ground, and he had strong resistance.

"boom!"

When Yang Di hit him for the second time, Millsap couldn't bear the force, and his body retreated.

The Jazz double-teamed without any surprises. Yang Di turned around with his left foot and turned around with his right foot to make a shot. Millsap and Boozer, who was defending, jumped up together exaggeratedly.

The two of them slammed into Yang Di's body one after the other, and Yang Di was knocked out of bounds by the two of them.

Before falling down, Yang Di did not forget to throw the ball.

The basketball obviously didn't make a shot, but the two violated Yang Di's shooting cylinder together. Even if the referee relaxed the requirements, the ball would still be called a foul.

Yang Di knocked over a photographer, and when he stood up, he deliberately reached out and pulled him up, then patted his shoulder and said hello.

"Hey, are you all right, bro?"

"Of course, I have nothing to do." The photographer smiled freely, and it seemed that it was not the first time he was knocked down.

Yang Di went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The Jazz attack and Deron dribbles to the frontcourt.

First gave the ball to Ronnie Brewer at the top of the arc, Brewer dribbled the ball to the right, and Boozer came up to pick and roll for him. .

But Brewer's passing speed was a beat slower. When he passed the ball, Yang Di circled back and blocked Boozer.

Yang Di has a lot of experience in defending Boozer, with his arms open, one hand in front and one hand behind, as long as Boozer takes off and shoots, Yang Di doesn't mind giving him a hot pot.

Boozer is also very afraid of Yang Di's defense. Yang Di's defense with the ball is recognized as the top in the league. Even Kobe's fadeaway jumper, Yang Di can cover it head-on. What's more, his fake moves haven't fooled Yang Di yet.

Boozer witty distributed the ball out again, and Deron took it, and broke through directly, and went in the middle.

Deron's strides were fast, cutting in, quickly threatening the basket, and Yang Di stared at him like a beast staring at its prey.

Deron's back was cold, and the layup was changed to a throw.

Passed Yang Di's defense and flew to the basket, "Dang~"

Hit the rim and bounced high.

Yang Di opened his arms on the ground and blocked everyone. The Jazz players immediately chose to retreat, leaving only Millsap in the frontcourt waiting for an opportunity to grab the offensive rebound.

But the rebound was too high for him to grab. He watched Yang Di raise one hand high and grab the rebound with one hand.
