Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 213 213. Jazz's home court (for subscription)
Li Cha also dedicated a wonderful offensive and defensive battle in G2 and contributed to the team's victory.

The fans and the media applauded. It was Li Cha's successful flanking of Gobert in the fourth quarter that made the Jazz lose the initiative of the game.

Some people even used the fact that Joe's gang leader stole Malone and won the championship for comparison.

This is a bit insane...

Not to mention the gap between Gobert and Malone on the offensive end, the gap between Li Cha and Joe's leader is also not small.

The only connection is nothing more than winning against the Jazz by stealing inside players.

Allen also ran to Li Cha with the comparison chart to claim credit, but was severely scolded by Li Cha, why don't you train well to participate in these gossip information.

Fans who are not sensible can talk nonsense and scold each other. As players, they just need to play well.

If the media is so big or small that they want to talk about it, then they can criticize it well.

However, I secretly felt very refreshed, and it was an honor to be compared with the basketball god.

The team continues to concentrate on training, and the team entering the playoffs will not give more rest time at all. They will play in the evening and have to come to training in the afternoon of the second day, and they will be there all day on the third day.

Donovan adjusted some tactics, especially in terms of defense. The original Rubio's strict defense and defense. After Rubio's appalling shooting percentage in these two games, Donovan adjusted to strictly guard against Mitchell.

In the last game, the two sides scored 28 points under the condition of defensive upgrades, which really has to be taken seriously.

Li Cha only scored 15 points under the defense in the first game, and nearly doubled in the second game. From the statistics alone, it is already known that this player's ability cannot be ignored.

This is still only on the surface, the players below the depths will not analyze it, but the coach does it very carefully.

The offense was not smooth in the first game, but the second game not only increased the number of shots, but also got rid of the same person's defense to attack. This shows that the opponent's coaching staff formulated many new tactics for this player.

Formulate new tactics on the spot, except for the core players, who can have this treatment.

If you don't lock up the core players, you'll be playing a fart in the playoffs.

Donovan gradually adjusted his thinking, and the players also realized that Li Cha had done the right thing in G1. Although he was punished by the coach, his status in the hearts of his teammates increased instead.

As for whether he was punished by time compression, only Donovan knows.

The Jazz will definitely adjust their tactics. Looking back and analyzing it now, Mitchell and Rubio were attacking in G1, and both of them happened to be targeted by the defense, so the Thunder won by a big score.

G2 was changed to Mitchell and Gobert. The Thunder didn't defend well at the beginning, so they almost lost. Fortunately, they came back in the fourth quarter.

Then in G3, at the Jazz's home court, if the tactical core needs to be adjusted, it will only return to Rubio. Mitchell has confirmed that he must be the team's biggest core.

The point of defending Rubio is mainly to prevent breakthroughs and organize passes. Shooting has always been his weakness, as long as he defends his passes.

I don't believe it will be cast to death by Rubio!

On April 4, the Thunder came to Salt Lake City to start the first round of G21 with the Jazz.

The Jazz have been driven to a dead end after losing two games in a row. If they can't get back a game, they must be eliminated.

This time the Jazz is also waiting for it. The Thunder came from afar, and the Jazz have a good opportunity.

However, the Thunder took the lead instead. In the first quarter, the Thunder once again demonstrated their strong offensive ability, taking advantage of their previous victories to turn away from the opponent.

Westbrook, George, and Li Cha took turns to bombard and quickly established the scoring advantage.

Under the special care of the Thunder, Mitchell missed consecutive offenses and couldn't drive the team to score.

The entire Thunder team is staring at Mitchell, double-teaming in advance, and would rather pay for a foul than block Mitchell.

The Thunder's pre-war preparations were very effective.

At 30:22 in the first quarter, the Thunder won by 8 points.

Mitchell was frozen, and the Thunder pointed to a three-game winning streak. How would the Jazz deal with it?

In the second quarter, Rubio broke out.

Rubio, who was emptied from beyond the three-point line, became extremely determined.

With his hands up and down, he made three consecutive three-pointers. The Jazz's offense opened up the situation, and the Thunder's deployment was disrupted, and they were in a hurry.

With the momentum of scoring, Rubio continued to assist his teammates to score inside.

Losing points inside and outside at the same time, the Thunder's arrangement was completely disrupted.

George also wanted to re-establish his advantage with a three-pointer, but he felt cold, as if his and Rubio's shooting levels had switched, and he missed consecutive shots.

Instead, the Jazz seized the opportunity to fight back a wave of offensive climax.

Donovan replaced Westbrook and Li Cha on the court to stabilize the situation, but the difference between the two sides has been smoothed out.

Westbrook forcibly broke through and hit the inside, but was once again defended by Gobert's tough defense, unable to score very effectively.

Gobert was released from the scoring task in this game, and he played defense seriously, and his role on the court was more obvious.

Li Cha was also flanked. Although he could force a score, it was very costly. George was obviously in a better position, so even if the front felt cold, he would be chosen more.

Facts have proved that when George feels bad, he is not good for the whole quarter. Although the presence of the three at the same time can help the team score and stop bleeding, the point difference is still expanding point by point.

Rubio's performance played a vital role. With sudden shots from inside and outside, Rubio scored 15 points in a single quarter. Such a super performance is unbelievable.

Mitchell barely took a shot in one quarter, but instead became an important node for the Jazz to contain the Thunder's defense.

Leveraging their strength, the Jazz took a very risky move. If Rubio's shooting played normally, the arrangement would not be successful this time, but Rubio was right, and no one thought he could be right when he was right.

Lei Ting's arrangement is useless, he can only see tricks.

At halftime, the Jazz had reversed by 2 points, 56:58.

Donovan adjusted his strategy and defended the outside duo at the same time, but the temporary arrangement was definitely not effective enough. He could only strengthen the defense and flanking while man-to-man.

The halftime break ends and the third quarter begins.

Rubio was strictly guarded against at first, but the Jazz have already taken advantage of the court. They have found a way to deal with the Thunder on both the offensive and defensive ends, and they have become more active in changing formations.

In the third quarter, Rubio stopped attacking, but turned to organization and passed the ball inside.

Gobert went online to attack again. Although the Jazz lost some defensive energy because of this, the Jazz clearly had an advantage compared to the Thunder's defense that was empty.

The Thunder could only rely on some of Westbrook's breakthroughs to score points. Li Cha continued to be flanked and got relatively few balls.

In the third quarter, the result of the confrontation between the two sides was naturally that the Thunder lost. Although they only lost by 6 points, the continued widening of the point difference still made the team's morale a little depressed.

Donovan cheered on the players again during the intermission, and Westbrook also kept encouraging everyone, but the effect was very bad. The cheers and applause of the fans on the spot dissipated the morale that had not yet gathered.

There was no way, the three of them had no choice but to carry everything on the team in the fourth quarter and take turns to attack.

The defense that the Jazz arranged early in the morning was aimed at the three of them. At this time, even if they tried their best, they did not break the defense.

On the contrary, the original defense against Mitchell lost its due effect due to the decline in morale, and Mitchell finally played half a quarter.

Continuous attacking the basket, several difficult goals and dunks, completely ignited the fans on the scene, made the home atmosphere more intense, and also made the efforts of the Thunder trio come to naught.

106:113, the Thunder finally lost by 7 points.

威斯布鲁克只拿到了15分11篮板8助攻，乔治23分3助攻，李茶12投6中也只有18分4篮板。

反而是卢比奥拿到24分10篮板11助攻的三双，米切尔拿到22分11篮板，戈贝尔也有18分12篮板。

The performance and statistics of the Jazz's core players are better than those of the Thunder, and it is not wrong for the Thunder to lose.

It also has to do with insufficient preparation.

Except for G1, George's three-pointers were not high in G2 and G3. Although the Thunder scored the highest in this game, he also made 19 shots.

After the game, the team reporter interviewed in the locker room. When asked that George did not perform "Play Off PG13", George was a little silent.

George had the most chances in this game, but the missed three-pointer made the team lose the chance to lead, and even if Li Cha was flanked, he still maintained his high efficiency, which made George's situation very embarrassing.

"We will not bring the game back to Salt Lake City." Li Cha was not the interviewee, but he came to the camera at this time.

"We made mistakes in our preparations for this game. We didn't fully estimate the opponent's strength and tactical setup, and cared about our own performance. Facts have proved that we were wrong. The victory of the game is with the team that is better prepared."

"But we won't make such a mistake again in the next game. We will actively and earnestly prepare for the next two days. We must win G4!" Li Cha shook his fist at the camera.

Although George's interview was stolen, Li Cha's victory announcement also reinjected strength and hope into the teammates in the locker room.

George also got out of the embarrassment and shouted after Li Cha: "G5, we will win the series!"

Westbrook also came up and expressed his determination together.

In the opponent's home court, or even in the arena, such a declaration of victory must be given full marks, but if it fails, the slap in the face will resound through the sky.

Donovan had to shake his head, and then left the locker room seriously with a smile on his face while holding the tactical board.

Donovan's on-the-spot arrangement is weak, but the pre-match arrangement can be made very detailed. Now that the Jazz have played almost all their cards, then the focus will come.

On the cards, Thunder is still bigger!
