Nba: Five Big Moves At The Start

2 days later.

The Lakers team took a special plane and flew to Salt Lake City, Utah, to the Energy Solutions Arena, the home of the Utah Jazz.

Although the Lakers rested for two days and recovered somewhat physically, their... condition is still not the best. This is the Lakers' third away game.

Running back and forth.

Physical fitness and condition will eventually drop to a lower level.

This is the disadvantage of continuous road trips, of course... This disadvantage is not unique to the Lakers. Under the schedule, every team has such a difficult schedule.

And tonight.

It will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win against the Jazz.

Why? !

First of all, the lack of physical fitness and condition in consecutive away games.

Secondly, Salt Lake City is located on a plateau, with an altitude of more than 1,300 meters. Not to mention how exaggerated the altitude sickness is, but the plateau air pressure is low, and it is common for Lakers players who do not stay often to suffer from occasional hypoxia.

But this has a huge impact on the game.

Some players who really don't adapt may even suffer from fatigue and chest tightness, which will undoubtedly cause the player's game state to decline.

And the most important thing.

The consistency of the Jazz home fans is that they will always give enough boos to the opponent team and enthusiastic cheers to the Jazz players.

An extreme contrast between the two.

He severely criticized the opponent's team's mentality.

This also fully demonstrates Salt Lake City's home court advantage, and the Jazz's home court is therefore known as the "Devil's Home Court".

You can win here, but... it's not easy.

To sum up.

The Lakers, who are last in the Western Conference, want to win against the Jazz, who are fifth in the Western Conference, tonight... it will be difficult.

but.

Hard to return.

The Lakers have won four consecutive victories. This group of young guys has great momentum, endless fighting spirit, and is fearless in everything. They are bound to overthrow the plateau salt lake and create a path to victory.

On the special plane.

Ingram yelled: "Isn't it the plateau? Isn't it the Devil's home court?! I, Ingram, am not afraid at all. I will definitely defeat the Jazz."

get off a plane.

Officially entered Plateau Salt Lake City.

Ingram clutched his chest and gasped slightly: "F**k, what the hell is this place? It's so depressing, I can't breathe smoothly, I feel so uncomfortable."

"Qin Rui, help me quickly."

Lakers players: You... slapped you in the face too quickly.

...

8:15 pm.

Energy Solutions Arena.

There are still 45 minutes until the main game starts at nine o'clock, but the auditorium is already full of people, constantly cheering for the Jazz players who are warming up on the court.

When the Lakers players walked out of the tunnel.

"Eh~"

The arena suddenly burst into deafening boos, which were much stronger than at the Trail Blazers' home court.

"The Lakers, who have lost 10 games in a row at the beginning of the season, have what qualifications do you have to win in Salt City Lake? You are destined to be losers tonight, do you understand?!"

"Hey, isn't this Qin Rui? That... that parallel import number one pick. He seems to be getting better recently and seems to have become more confident."

"Hey, tonight I will tear apart your disguise and let everyone know clearly that you are just a parallel importer who can be arbitrarily hammered and come in through the back door. You are not the number one pick."

"Want to win five games in a row? That's impossible."

"..."

Countless innuendos and boos bombarded the heads of Ingram, Kuzma and others. Even though the coach told them to calm down before the game, Kuzma, Ingram and other young people still couldn't bear it and wanted to interact. .

Even Lopez, who has been in the NBA for many years, is unhappy.

However......

On the other hand, Qin Rui, who was ridiculed the most by the home fans, showed no change in his face and no disturbance in his heart. He warmed up when he needed to and shot when he needed to, without being affected at all.

Rear studio.

O'Neal and Barkley were sitting at the table.

tonight.

It was supposed to be the pairing of Amy Johns and Kenny Smith commentating on this game, but... O'Neal wanted to commentate on Qin Rui's game too much.

Forced shift change.

Barkley glared at O'Neal fiercely and complained: "You guy, force me to work overtime."

"hey-hey."

O'Neal rubbed his head and pretended to be stupid, then curled his lips and said, "This is Qin Rui's game. Don't tell me you won't pay attention. I don't believe it."

Buckley said nothing.

O'Neal got back to business and said: "Tonight's game is a huge challenge for the Lakers."

"First of all, there is the issue of geographical location. We have said this many times, so I will not mention it again. The Jazz, with their "devil's home court", has made many strong teams suffer here."

"Secondly, the strength of the Jazz team is the most important player that has defeated countless challengers."

"Gobert, a center with extremely long arms, has such a strong defensive ability. In the 14-15 season, he almost only used 37 starts to win the best defensive player award."

"You can imagine how strong his defense is."

"This "monster" from France is undoubtedly the tower of the Jazz restricted area."

"On the other hand, I originally thought that Hayward's departure would make this team weak on the offensive end. Who knows... the emergence of Rubio and rookie Mitchell, combined with Gobert, have a good chemical reaction."

"Rubio's passing ability and Gobert's defense and rebounding ability give Mitchell, a rookie, unlimited firepower."

"Averaging 24 shots per game, even if many stars can't reach it, he as a rookie has achieved it. Fortunately... he lived up to the team's expectations and averaged 24.4 points per game."

"He can finish on the outside, defend with rebounds on the inside, and the defender can organize."

"Everything is possible. There is a reason why this team is in the top five in the powerful Western Conference."

O'Neill talked a lot, covering all aspects without taking a breath.

These are his jobs, his breadwinners, and if he can do them at his fingertips, he must be as comfortable as a fish in water.

Barkley took over and said: "Yes, but the Jazz are strong at home, but the Lakers' recent state is no joke. What kind of sparks will be sparked when the two teams collide?!"

"Whether Sir Devil will take his life or be taken, let us stay tuned!"
