Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 400 Two issues left over from history
At the beginning of the game, Korver gave the Lakers a New Year's gift in front of the Staples audience. He came out from the baseline and used Kirilenko's off-ball screen to get rid of Wade. Deron Williams' pass, three-pointer up and down, opened the scoring for the Jazz.

While the Lakers attacked, Garnett faced Varejao, turned around after a relaxed feint, and after attracting Gerald Wallace's help defense, he scored the ball to Artest, who dunked and scored.

On the sidelines, Jim thought deeply. Garnett had already passed the ball to Varejao, and he could attack directly by himself, but there was a pause, as if he forcibly attracted the help defense and then passed it to Artest. of.

The Jazz attacked. Deron Williams faced Billups, and suddenly made a super-large change of direction that did not fit his figure, completely leaving Billups behind. Garnett immediately assisted in the defense, and Deron hit the ground with a pass The ball found Varejao who was attacking the basket.

The Brazilian only has the basket in his eyes. Obviously, it is a very good thing to be able to complete a dunk on the head of his old club. He is even thinking about how to celebrate in his mind.

But the reality is cruel. Garnett showed the true ability of the best defensive player. When he turned around, he slapped the ball with his left hand from behind. Special grab.

"Want to dunk on my head? Wait another 100 years!" Garnett was not in a hurry to join the fast break, but sprayed trash talk at Varejao who had just landed.

Well aware of the big brother's temper, Varejao shook his instant noodle head, and ran back to the half court defense without saying a word.

No matter the talent is good or bad, the discipline of the Jazz will always be one of the best in the league. At this point, only the San Antonio Spurs can match them. Jerry Sloan has used 20 years to make rigorous, tough, tenacious and Toughness has become synonymous with the Jazz.

Throughout the first quarter, although the Jazz had an offensive disadvantage, the defensive end did not make it too easy for the Lakers. The Lakers led 24 to 22. This score in a single quarter is already a very low score for the Lakers. The player was Ron Artest. He scored 5 points on all 10 shots, 2 of which came from Garnett's assists. The other three starters each assisted him once.

In the second quarter, the scores of the two sides continued to be stalemate, although players like Robert Wiley, Milt Peracio or Andre Owens were unknown in the history of the entire league, and faded out after only a few years of playing They have entered the league, but as long as they wear Jazz jerseys on the court, they will do their best, work hard to implement tactics, and seriously attack and defend.

Steve Blake was slightly injured in training and will not be able to play this game. Haslem is also on the injured list. The shock test program can only debut.

Odom recovered somewhat. In the second quarter, Don Nelson saw that the offense was unfavorable, so he sent Billups and David Lee to partner with him, supplemented by Tony Arley, who had made a round from the Jazz and finally settled in Los Angeles. Len and Kendrick Perkins.

The outside shooting ability of this lineup is very tragic. Except for Billups, there is no reliable shooter. Even Odom's own three-pointer is a six-pulse sword, which is not effective at all times.

But Odom has his own way, and his opponent is the old Spurs player Devin Brown, who is 1 meters tall and weighs 96 kilograms. He was pushed to the small forward position because there is no one on the Jazz bench.

Odom commanded his teammates to move, Tony Allen and Perkins went to the weak side, David Lee responded on the line, Billups held the ball on the wing, and lobbed it to Odom who wanted the ball in the low post.

Odom crushed Brown with his back and easily rushed to the vicinity of the three-second zone. Andre Owens immediately gave up Tony Allen, who had no shooting ability, and came to help defend.

Tony Allen did not wait foolishly outside the three-point line, but immediately cut to the basket. Odom turned his back to the basket and threw the ball into the sky. A big windmill, a violent slam dunk.

The home spectators, who had been drowsy from the boring game between the two sides, were aroused again to watch the game. Tony Allen jumped up and down and celebrated Odom's chest passionately, with rich body language and funny.

Seeing Tony Allen's wonderful performance, Jim felt that it was necessary to tell him not to be too ostentatious. In his previous life, Tony Allen was an explosive dunker who flew into the sky and escaped from the ground. Trend, many people believe that if he hadn't suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury, he should also be able to become a swingman with excellent offense and defense.

It's a pity that the former Tony Allen rushed to the basket to complete a dunk due to a sudden short-circuit of the brain when the referee had already blown his whistle, but because of insufficient take-off, not only failed the dunk, but also sprained himself when he landed Knee, leading to reimbursement for the season, since then his career has embarked on another trajectory.

Silently wrote down a note in a small notebook, Jim and Nicholson began to chat, behind him were the Kardashian sisters who once carried Paris Hilton's bag, and Odom passed this goal Afterwards, Jim was sure he heard the phrase "What do you think of him?"

Is this the inevitable course of history?However, considering Odom's own corrupt and chaotic private life, Kohler Kardashian has done his utmost to him.

As a management team, it is inconvenient for me to interfere in many things. I can only hope that his teammates and friends, and the atmosphere of the team can save Odom and prevent him from going on the road of self-destruction.

Jerry Sloan didn't dare to let his rotation lineup play too much time. Except for Nocioni, the ability of others is really not good. This is a gap that cannot be made up by hard work.

But even if it is a starter, with the Lakers playing steadily and step-by-step offensive and defensive rhythm, it can't do much good. Although Deron Williams is talented, as the point guard who needs the most experience, he is compared with the old fritter Billups. , It’s still a little tender, except that after the opening game, Billups was caught off guard. In the following games, Deron was almost completely suppressed by Billups. Although the audience sent 7 assists, there were also Unqualified 5 turnovers.

The best performer of the Jazz was Kirilenko. The Russian scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 4 steals, almost reaching a 5*5 data. He was almost everywhere on the court. The Jazz can last until the fourth quarter. Wei.

Kyle Korver scored 5 three-pointers and scored a team-high 21 points. After joining the Jazz, his data tripled compared with the Lakers, averaging 14.3 points per game, and shooting more than 40% of his shots. Nearly 3 three-pointers.

But the victory ultimately went to the Lakers, 108-99, and with Tony Allen's last-minute defense, the home crowd got tacos.Artest scored a game-high 26 points.
