Chapter 67 Sloan's Thoughts
After the first quarter, the Jazz trailed the Timberwolves by [-] points. The double-digit gap made all Jazz fans a little unbelievable.

Is this the basketball the Utah Jazz play?What about the well-known pick-and-roll tactics of the league?

This is Salt Lake City, one of the "notorious" devil's home games in the league. Everyone knows that the Utah Jazz coached by Sloan has an astonishingly high home winning rate. Close the boss and become an existence that no team in the league dare to underestimate.

This is also the point that Utah fans are most proud of. Even though we are a small city with a small population, we have a home that everyone fears. Watching the game here, you don’t have to worry about not seeing a victory you are looking forward to. !

What is the most attractive thing about sports?Isn't it a hearty victory!
But tonight's Jazz fans are lost, from five to sixty-year-old fans, down to six or seven-year-old children, no one understands why the Jazz are playing like this tonight!

As soon as Boozer got off the court, he angrily threw the towel handed over by his teammate on the chair, with a gloomy expression, obviously very angry.

Fatty Deron was in a good mood. With a good touch, he scored 9 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and his efficiency was very impressive. This is still very rare for him. The most important reason restricting him from becoming a superstar.

In fact, this is also one of the points that the little fat Deron has been criticized by the media. The little fat Deron has a strong body, and he is not at all shy when facing some strong guards in the league. Against Chauncey Billups, he can also play well without losing the wind.

But in the eyes of the media, the low shooting percentage of the little fat Deron has become a fatal weakness. They think that when Deron Williams suffers from an injury or the end of his career, the little fat will become a cancer.

Deron, who cannot continue to rely on his excellent physical fitness to play, will become a big loophole for the team. He is paid a high salary, but cannot perform as he should. Isn't this a poison contract?
Fatty Deron did not miss these remarks. These remarks were correct, but the irony in the words made the little fat man feel uncomfortable once watching them. Later, he was directly labeled as "alarmist" and thrown into the cold palace. He will never go again Heed this statement.

The little fat man whose psychological quality is not enough can only comfort himself: These media are full and have nothing to do. No matter how good you are, if they want to hack you, you can't stop them no matter what!
You have excellent skills, they will say that your physical fitness is not enough, you play with your body, they will say that you are weak in skills, you are a barbarian, even Kobe, who is the No. It's better to deal with this group of media, and Hei Hei is healthier, let them go!

However, he performed well today with a relaxed face, completely ignoring Boozer's gloomy expression, and humming a little song leisurely by himself.

"Boss, don't you think there is a reason why we are lagging behind now? Don't you plan to stop it?" Boozer couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly at the old coach Sloan. He was so angry that he spit stars flying around. , regardless of the feelings of the teammates around him.

Sloan's complexion remained unchanged, and he remained calm, and replied indifferently: "Carlos, do you have any opinion on the situation in front of you? Then please talk about your feelings!"

Boozer couldn't hold back when he heard the words, and poured out all the words in his stomach: "Boss, I'm afraid our point guard has failed his duty. Look at his performance in the first quarter. He gave the team What has the operation brought about? He is just doing it alone, and others can only watch him play!"

"Is our Utah Jazz's style of play like this? I don't understand!" Angrily, Boozer didn't even want to call Deron's name anymore.

Sloan remained silent when he heard the words, a gleam shot out of his cloudy eyeballs, and he glanced at Boozer and Deron Williams lightly, knowing everything in his heart.

Both Boozer and Deron are candidates for the new generation of "Utah Shuangsha" he originally envisioned, but the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Although Deron is a point guard who is willing to pass the ball, his shooting The rate is not stable, far less reassuring than Stockton.

Similarly, Boozer is also a restless master. Although the offense is good, the defensive end often becomes a mobile big black hole on the court. It’s okay to have poor defensive awareness, and the defensive attitude is not sincere. A power forward can be on his head. score!

If it weren't for a reliable Russian-made "AK47" in the team to help him defend, the Jazz's defense would have been penetrated long ago.

What makes coach Sloan even more chilling is that Boozer solemnly told Utah fans at the beginning of the new season last year that he would only consider the contract issue until the end of the season, and expressed his respect for the Utah Jazz. loyal.However, within two months of the game, the kid suddenly stated that he refused to implement the $1232 million contract with the Jazz next season, and instead chose to become a free player after the season to get a bigger contract.

Isn't this backfire?Is it worth it for a big contract?
This picture of Boozer's eating is undoubtedly disgusting to the old coach Sloan. Even though he is very well-mannered, he still has some bad feelings towards Boozer in his heart. Sometimes it is easy to have a bad impression on a person, and Boozer just Because of this wrong decision, his status in Sloan's heart was greatly reduced.

The old coach Sloan is even thinking about whether he should put Boozer on the shelf?

After the Lakers got the Spanish insider Pau Gasol, their combat effectiveness more than doubled and they were directly promoted to the championship team. Last year's championship trophy is the best proof!
Take a look at the Lakers' inside lineup, Pau Gasol, "Little Shark" Bynum, and even Odom will make a guest appearance inside from time to time. Such a twin-tower lineup gave the old coach Sloan some headaches.

It seems that it is time to put Boozer on the shelves. The team needs a reliable inside pillar, and Boozer can no longer adapt to the team's lineup.

Al Jefferson?It looks good, but he will not be too willing to give up the boss position of Memphis!

This year's champion Griffin?It's not bad. Although he is reimbursed for the season this season, his physical fitness is over there. If he takes the opportunity to replace him, it's not bad, but will the Clippers agree to let him go?
…………

Thinking about it, Sloan felt a bit of a headache. After all, he was old, and this kind of troublesome matter would take a long time to think about, and he couldn't get a good result in a while.

"Deron, pass the ball more, I understand that you are in good form tonight, but the team needs you, you need to sacrifice for the rest of the team, give up too many shots to let your teammates get more shots Otherwise, we will suffer a tragic defeat at home tonight!"

"Boozer, strengthen your defense, don't miss people anymore, Andre has done enough, he is not your nanny, I need you to be tougher on the defensive end!" Old coach Sloan still The bowl of water was leveled, and for tonight's victory, he held back the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Boozer snorted softly, and thought to himself: You don't have to pass the ball to me, it would have been better if it was earlier, and I insist on giving you eye drops at the old man's place!
Fatty Deron's face darkened, his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but he finally gave up, nodded in frustration, and obeyed the head coach's order.
