NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 294 It Will Not Be Difficult

In the second half of the game, the Jazz not only tried offensively, but also increased the intensity of defense in a targeted manner.

It can be said that they were successful in the third quarter. Their head coach Sloan has rich experience in the playoffs, and his advice to the players is indeed more useful.

It's just that the Suns didn't want to settle the battle at the beginning of the third quarter, and their efforts were wave-like.

There is no tricky way, if you want to resist the waves of the sun's attacks, you can only resist.

Perhaps in the words of the coach, the players can survive with strong mental attributes.

But this is chicken soup for the soul. It is impossible to block the sun's stormy attack just by breathing.

So when it came to the rotation period, the Jazz were a little bit unstoppable.

The scene can be said to be surprisingly similar, causing the Jazz to replace all the main players in advance.

Some tricks, even if they are expected, cannot be guarded against, because there is no way to deal with the difference in strength.

In fact, the Jazz's main lineup can withstand a quarter, and they have done a good job.

In the final quarter, the Jazz's strategy was different from that in the third quarter. They no longer expect other players to play well, but let Deron and Boozer play, hoping that the team's strengths can help the team chase points.

In fact, when Russell didn't play, they really caught up by a few points.

Barbosa's ability is still not good enough. If he can't play fast, he is not Deron's opponent.

But the Jazz is not good at three-pointers, and that's how they chase points. Under the Sun's defensive strength, Jazz players who don't have enough rest will soon lose efficiency.

So they all started to work hard, and the sun can take it easy.

When Russell played, the Jazz's heart became colder.

No way, Russell is really too stable. When Barbosa played the first position, they could still find opportunities. Russell took control of the situation when he came up, and they couldn't catch up by a single point.

Just entering the last 5 minutes of the game, Russell scored another three-pointer, and the Suns' lead once again came to double digits.

Deron's eyes were red. When the team reached the playoffs, he played better than the regular season.

But with such an outstanding performance, he still couldn't compete with Russell in the slightest.

Deron's mentality was a bit broken. In the last few minutes, he desperately used his physical advantage to beat Russell.

He did hit a few goals, but the team's score gap did not narrow.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the Sun's home fans cheered loudly, and they made another victory.

After the game, Jazz head coach Sloan didn't want to talk much, but only said goodbye when he returned to Salt Lake City.

The media also said that the Jazz's home game is still worth looking forward to, after all, it is the devil's home game.

And they also lost two games in the first round and then came back. The Jazz are a very resilient team.

However, many media also said that the hope of the Jazz is already slim, and the Suns will definitely enter the Western Conference Finals for the third consecutive year, but they don't know how many games they will use.

Compared with the Rockets, the sun can be said to be too strong, and it is difficult for the miracle that the Jazz is looking forward to to appear.

Russell also said in an interview: "It's not that we haven't played away games. It may be difficult, but we can overcome it. We have rich experience in how to win."

D'Antoni also said: "You can rest assured that when the team has so many outstanding players, the coach's job will be much easier."

Stoudemire is also high-spirited. He said: "Everyone knows that the Suns this season are the strongest Suns ever. Whether it is home or away, I will not allow losses."

Their group starts later, so they only have one day to adjust before going to the away game.

It is an advantage for the Suns, and the players on their side basically have no fatigue.

The third game came as scheduled, and the Jazz's home arena was also full of voices.

Jazz fans still agree with the team this season, and they hope to use cheering to help the team bring miracles.

However, the young Deron was a little slow to warm up amidst the cheers of the fans.

The Jazz's performance in the first quarter was not as good as in the away game, only Boozer was relatively normal.

Boozer does have certain abilities on the offensive end, so he can get a big contract even if he has poor defensive awareness.

But when other players were inaccurate, it was impossible for him to drive the team, and the Suns still took the lead smoothly.

The sun is still in a state of blooming more, and all five starters have scored.

Of course, the away game is still the away game, the main problem is the defensive scale.

This is the case for many Devils at home, and the Jazz's iron-blooded defense is often stained with scale.

The Jazz's defensive ability has declined this season, but back at home, they strengthened their physical confrontation, which still made the Suns who came from afar a little uncomfortable.

So at the beginning of this game, the two teams are competing for defense.

The Suns are not afraid of high-intensity defense at all, nor are they afraid of physical confrontation.

While scoring fewer points, they made the Jazz score even less, and they couldn't score 20 in a quarter.

Now fans are paying more attention to the performance of the two sides next, because the rotation period is coming.

But Jazz head coach Sloan actually reversed the operation, returning to the home court and not playing the main force, giving the starting players more rest time.

It could also be that they didn't play well and the team needs to change.

In this case, if the sun comes down, the game may be spent directly.

However, the Jazz are indeed more resilient, and they actually relied on substitute players to resist.

Not relying on offense, but relying entirely on defense to play, and it didn't allow the Suns' rotation to extend their lead to double digits.

However, it is impossible to win by defense. The Jazz still need to perform offensively if they want to change the situation.

After the main players of both sides played in the second quarter, Deron suddenly broke out.

From this point of view, Deron's ability to adjust is really good. Like the first match, he adjusted immediately if he couldn't come up, and this is the same.

This time he adjusted better, and he took two three-pointers and hit them both.

So not only did the Jazz not collapse in the second quarter, but they narrowed the score gap anyway.

Their fans are all excited. The further they go at home, the greater the advantage will be. They have a chance.

If they can defeat the sun in full swing, no matter how the series ends, they will be happy.

However, the effect of the game was not that good. The Suns did not panic, and Russell was controlling the situation.

"Focus on it, follow the tactics, we have to do the details well."

"Pay more attention to the defense. The opponent's shooting must be interfered with. These are the opponent's favorite shooting points..."

Not only to remind teammates, Russell's own defense is getting better and better.

There is nothing to do with the unreasonable ball. At other times, his interference with Deron has become more and more timely.

After a mock battle and a comparison of strength, Deron has no secrets in Russell.

As long as you limit Boozer's efficiency, it will not be difficult to win the Jazz.
