Chapter 211

Chapter 3 and six are hot

Elvin Hayes prevailed.

Is Walter Bellamy far behind?

Naturally not far.

Walter Bellamy is talented, but he lacks hard work. He is ranked ninth, mainly because his talent is too dazzling, and he doesn't need to work too hard to achieve results that others can't achieve even if they spend a lifetime.

For this kind of person who is not very hardworking, Fatty has experience in dealing with Elvin Hayes, so dealing with him is naturally a no-brainer.

Walter Bellamy wanted to spray on the fat man and ravage the fat man, but before he could do it, he was beaten back by the fat man's coefficient.

After defeating Elvin Hayes, he defeated Walter Bellamy again, and Fatty's self-confidence was even stronger.

This is true both in system space and in real life.

In the system space, seeing myself getting stronger day by day, and opponents falling at my feet one after another, isn't that how self-confidence comes from?

But in real life, the top ten players in the league can win. Now, except for a few insiders in the league, others are also very weak. Lions can be knocked down, and pheasants are naturally no problem.

Can a fat man lose confidence?
Fatty's self-confidence also comes from a series of statistics obtained by Fatty on the field.

The Pacers have won 2 consecutive victories and averaged 30 rebounds per game in the past [-] games. With such a fat man, he can turn rebounding into an art. How could such a fat man lack confidence.

Confidence, he never lacked.

After sixteen consecutive victories, they played away against the Utah Jazz.

Utah Jazz.

Although in recent years, some degenerate.

However, looking at the development history of the Utah Jazz, he is still a very competitive team.

The Utah Jazz were founded in New Orleans in 1974.

But five years later, they moved to Salt Lake City, where they are now.

Today people have long forgotten that it was founded in New Orleans, people only remember the Salt Lake City Jazz.

No reason, just because in Salt Lake City, between 83-02, the Jazz reached the playoffs for 19 consecutive years.

People will not forget that the Jazz's two most famous stars, Malone and Stockton.

In 1984, Stockton came to the Jazz, and Malone was selected a year later.

Since then, the most classic stop combination in the league has been established.

After ten years of cooperation, this pair has reached perfection and become one of the best combinations in the history of the league. In the 96-97 season, the Jazz achieved a regular season record of 64 wins and 18 losses, leading the league.

Although, in the finals, Utah Shuangsha also lost to His Majesty the Flying Man twice, but their defeat was glorious.

Utah Shuangsha has also become the best green leaf to achieve His Majesty the Flying Man.

After failing to reach the top twice, the Jazz also started a new round of replacement due to the aging lineup.

First, Stockton and Hornacek retired quietly, and then the old Malone left Los Angeles to continue his championship love.

In this way, the Utah Shuangsha era also announced a passage. However, although the Utah Shuangsha retreated, the Jazz's lineup has become unrecognizable. Will undoubtedly be at the bottom of the West.

But there are always a few teams in the NBA that will surprise people every year, and the Jazz were such a team last season.At the end of the season with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses, it was only in the Western Conference where there are many strong players that they finally missed the playoffs.

But the Jazz used their performance last season to tell everyone that their winter will not come, but their spring has quietly arrived.All this is not only due to the Jazz boys represented by Kirilenko, but also to the convincing coaching level of coach Sloan.Sloan without Malone and Stockton can lead the Jazz to move on.

This year is also Sloan's No. 16 season in the Jazz.

He also set the record for the longest-serving coach in the four major American sports leagues.

He has also become the only coach in the league who will not be fired even if the core leader of the team is fired. The only one who can fire him is himself.

Sloan had already integrated his life with the Jazz.

A professional team coach can reach the highest level, maybe that's it.

Sloan may not be as famous as many people, such as Zen Master, Popovich, Cardinal, etc., but you cannot deny that Sloan is a great coach.

Many people say that Malone and Stockton made Sloan, but in fact, Sloan made himself, great as he is, and does not need anyone to make it.

Why do you say that?

Last season, the Jazz began to transition and passed the transition period extremely successfully, which is enough to explain.

However, last season, Sloan was not able to receive the "Best Coach" award. This does not mean that he is incapable. On the contrary, the league still owes him a "Best Coach", and his performance has won enough respect.

After Malone and Stockton retreated, Sloan once again explored the overall basketball style of play, coupled with the offense and defense of one or two key players such as Kirilenko, which made many NBA teams unable to parry.

It's a bit like the dream team at the Athens Olympics was no match for the Argentina team led by Ginobili. NBA teams seem to have little to do with Sloan's overall basketball.Knowing people and making good use of them is also a major feature of Sloan. Under his guidance, several second-rate players have become competent players.

And this season, Sloan has more talented players for him to deploy, and making the playoffs has long been on Sloan's agenda.

AK47 was also selected to the All-Star Game for the first time last season, truly embarking on the Avenue of Stars in his career.

He's also a star player.

Perhaps many people have a lot of opinions about AK47, a Russian boy with average strength, who was selected as an All-Star. However, is this really the case?
He averaged 16.5 points, grabbed 8.1 rebounds, added 2.8 blocks and 1.9 steals per game, each of which ranked first in the Jazz team.

Although this kind of data can't be compared with a monster like Fatty, you can't deny that such an all-round fighter is definitely worthy of the title of All-Star.

Frightening defensive ability, defensive range, flexible feet, no matter what type of opponent he faces, he is enough to deal with it freely.

The last point is salary.

Kirilenko's contract is about to expire and is facing renewal.

For the new contract, his agent Fleischer offered the Jazz a 6-year $8600 million contract.

Although the Jazz has not renewed Kirilenko's contract so far, maybe this is only a matter of time, because the Jazz will not watch their core players go away.

The Jazz management is not stupid, they know whether it is worth the price or not.

In addition to Kirilenko, the Jazz also lured Boozer to Salt Lake City with a six-year $6 million contract. Because of this, Cavaliers fans were not happy with Boozer's approach, and called him 'Traitor', bitter about his departure from the Cavaliers, which speaks volumes for Boozer's potential.

It is not without reason that the Jazz gave some money.

Last season, each game scored at least 15 points and 11 rebounds, and there were only three players in the entire league, and Boozer was one of them, and the other two were Duncan and Garnett.Being able to compete with two league-rated players, Boozer's value is self-evident.At the same time, the arrival of Boozer will also liberate Kirilenko back to the small forward position.

The combination of Boozer and Kirilenko is equivalent to saying that the inside of the Jazz is like a tiger with wings.

In addition to Boozer, there is also Okur who has to be mentioned. The arrival of the Turk Okur has improved the center position of the Jazz, which has always been low-energy. He will provide the Jazz with a stable inside in the new season. Scoring firepower.

On the back line, the defender is the defender of Puerto Rico, who became famous in the Athens Olympics.

He has Stockton's shadow in him, he moves well and is very good at finding scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.

Naturally, he is just a shadow of Stockton, and he is still incomparable with Stockton. On the court, he sometimes makes wrong judgments, but with the continuous accumulation of game experience, he will naturally let him Jazz fans, don't miss Stockton so much.

There is also Harprin, who slowed down his progress last season due to injuries. However, in this season, he stood on the court healthy and he is expected to become the Jazz's best sixth man.

It is an opponent like the Jazz that stands on the road of the Pacers' 17-game winning streak.

Based on this analysis, it seems that the Jazz and the Pacers are really incomparable, and the Pacers can be easily knocked down. However, is this really the case?

The people and the pedestrians are in possession of it, but the time and place are favorable, but the pedestrians do not occupy it at all.

The Jazz are now waiting for work. Before the game against the Pacers, they had a three-day rest, and the Pacers only finished the game yesterday. Before they had time to rest, they came to Salt Lake City to fight against the Jazz again.

The Utah Jazz can be said to be waiting for work with ease, and the Pacers cannot take it lightly.

There is also an extremely important reason. Regardless of the strength of the Utah Jazz, Salt Lake City is called the "Devil's Home Stadium". This is mainly due to the geographical environment and the fans here.

Salt Lake City is more than 1300 meters above sea level, which is one of the main reasons why the Utah Jazz is called the home of the devil.

The altitude is as high as more than 1300 meters, which belongs to the plateau area.

High altitudes are prone to altitude sickness.

Low air pressure can easily cause hypoxia.

The hypoxic environment has a very obvious impact on athletes.

Once the little giant Yao Ming said in an interview, "If the air is relatively thin, then you will feel more strenuous than usual when playing in this environment."

The habit is fine, but for those who are not used to it, it is normal to not get used to it when they come here to play.

Altitude sickness This is one.

However, it is the fans in Salt Lake City that make people feel the most terrifying. What really makes this arena scary is the group of crazy fans.

No matter what the game is, the energy center will be full of seats, and the clear blue and white water makes the entire arena look like an ocean.As soon as the game started, the fans began to shout with all their might, cheering for the home team and creating disturbance for the visiting team.

Before coming here to play, Fatty talked about this with Miller.

At that time, the fat man was thinking, is it really such an exaggeration?

However, from the moment he really stepped into this arena, Fatty felt that what Miller said, in fact, he still had reservations.

Playing in the Jazz, the fat man also has a new understanding of the word 'exclusive'.

From the moment you step into the arena, no matter who you are, the people present are full of hostility. More than 20000 fans at the scene began to collectively boo and curse.

They'll tell you that you're terrible, they'll talk about your parents, even your dog.

The most profound thing about Fatty is that at the beginning of the game, when he lost the jump ball to Boozer, the 'Bone Boy', boos broke out like a tidal wave, and the boos engulfed the stadium.

If the psychological quality is not very good, it will even be affected by the voice of the fans.

In fact, the fans here can not only influence the players, but also the referees, they will still be affected.

Zen master Phil Jackson once said the same thing, "Salt Lake City is the noisiest home court, and they even affected the referees."

It is always more cautious and more difficult to whistle in the Jazz lead singer than in other arenas, because if there is a slight deviation, I am afraid that you will be booed even more than the players.A generation of famous whistle Crawford once said so.

During the competition, Fatty also encountered it, and this incident became the fuse of Fatty's outbreak.

Just imagine, in such an arena, all you can feel is the extremely boring jazz, the arena is also full of bustling fans, and the cynicism towards the visiting team is always coming one after another.

Who can fit into this arena?

nobody.

It's okay to be a player from the home team, but foreign goods.

You always feel that you can't fit in here, because every game here is their basketball feast.

Every visiting team that visits the energy solution center seems to be in a desperate situation of being cornered by a large group of people with no way out.Think about it, the plateau with thin air, crazy fans and high decibel boos at home... Who wants to endure all this?
In this game, Fatty couldn't bear the fans here, and he completely released himself once.

Playing in this golf course, it doesn't feel so good.

You will feel that there are always flies buzzing and making noise in your ears, which kind of feeling is really disgusting, they make you unable to concentrate on the game, and your attention is seriously distracted. Here, you don't feel like It's just playing against the Jazz. You are playing against more than 20000 teams on the scene.

Under such circumstances, the Pacers did not perform very normally at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the game, they were also hit by a small climax of 8-0.

The Pacers fell into a passive state from the beginning.

However, being passive is not the most uncomfortable thing, the most uncomfortable thing is the noise of the Jazz fans, you really can't bear it.
