Chapter 830 Perfect!(1/2)
With the Jazz's G1, Chen Xiao almost scored a triple-double of 40+ or a triple-double of 50+ in the whole game, which defeated Gobert, who had been performing very well in the regular season and playoffs this season, and directly defeated Gobert, who had performed very well in the regular season and the playoffs.
This made many Jazz fans in front of the TV and on the scene really desperate.
So much so that after the game, Jerry Sloan said helplessly in an interview with TNT Maizi: "We performed very well in this game. We faced the greatest NBA team and the greatest players in the NBA. They have always maintained their competitiveness. In the end, they didn't lose so much. But, TMC, you're right, we don't have any chances in the whole game."
As the former head coach of the Jazz, Mr. Jerry Sloan is in very good health after retirement. After all, he doesn't have much to worry about, and his health is much better than in the same period in history.
There is no way, except for the fact that Ma Long left, he really didn't worry about Jazz.
Moreover, the Jazz's record also makes him worry-free.
It’s not good or bad, it’s just worry-free.
So after retreating, Mr. Sloan often attends some away games of the Jazz. He will definitely not be absent from such games that will play in the Western Conference Finals again after 20 years.
Even after the game, Mr. Sloan even greeted Chen Xiao and congratulated Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao and Mr. Sloan are also considered "old acquaintances".
Chen Xiao's first winning goal in his career regular season was to the Jazz.
When Ma Long left the Jazz, Chen Xiao was also excited.
Of course, as the legendary coach of the meritorious and legendary coach who cultivated and created Alien, Chen Xiao respected it very much.
Not to mention his achievements in the NBA.
It only cultivated Alien and built Alien into the most perfect form he could achieve, which is a great contribution to Chinese basketball.
At least, if there were no Sloan, the Chinese team would not win the 2016 Olympic championship at least.
Therefore, Sloan has a very high reputation throughout the country and often goes to CCTV. Even after retirement, he even speaks Chinese better and better.
Typically, you can live until you are old.
According to his own words, when a person gets old, using his brain more can help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Chinese is definitely the most brain-wrenching homework. By the way, he also likes to play mahjong.
On May 16, the second game between the Warriors and Jazz's Western Conference Finals continued to kick off at Oracle Center.
The Jazz team, who lost G1, felt a little pressure to take this game.
Although the first two games were away games, if they really lost both away games, it would have a big blow to the team's morale.
And for the Jazz, what is more stressful is that Gobert, one of the team's best players this season, seems to have a little mentality after the last game.
Therefore, in this game, Jazz head coach Snyder decisively changed the team's tactical style.
After the last game, Gobert, who had a little mentality collapsed, was placed on the bench by him.
The Jazz players in this game are Yi Jianlian, Gordon Hayward, Ingles, Mitchell and Jordan Jr.
It is very obvious that it is one, one, four, and five players have very good offensive abilities.
This lineup is basically the same as the lineups of Chen Xiao, Davis, Wade, Roger and Clay of the Warriors.
It's just offense, and every player can attack.
Chen Xiao is indeed no Jazz player can defend, and the Jazz really has no way to attack the Warriors.
But in contrast, the Jazz can also attack their own offense.
I have to say that Snyder is really a good head coach. After accepting the stall left by Jerry Sloan, he has performed better and better with the Jazz over the years. There is still a reason for him.
In fact, the Jazz have been on the full-on-offensive lineup and after taking down Gobert, the offensive black hole, it has indeed achieved immediate results on the offensive end.
In the first quarter of this game, the Warriors and the Jazz played a 39-38 match, and the two teams played incredible offensive and poking states.
In this whole quarter, the Jazz made 7 three-pointers and the team sent 11 assists in a single quarter. It was quite a team and quite terrifying.
Of course, the Warriors on the other side also had more than 50% of their three-point shooting percentage, and even made 10 of them 16, exceeding 60%.
In short, for the Jazz, although the performance of the two teams completely gave up defense in the first quarter, the Jazz did reach the team's plan.
In fact, for the Jazz, the most difficult thing is that in the second quarter, the Jazz mentioned Mitchell. Mitchell lived up to expectations and made 5 of 6 shots in the first quarter, scoring 13 points efficiently.
But in the rotation stage, without Mitchell, can Millsap lead the team to take on the offense and play a similar performance with the Warriors?
This is indeed a huge problem, and it can be seen from the Warriors' score 31-26 in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the Jazz's rotation was indeed not a match between Devin Booker, Jaylen Brown and Curry Jr.
Of course, this is not something unexpected.
Since the Jazz have made such a change of formation, they naturally have such an estimate.
Moreover, such gambling liberated the team's offense for the Jazz. In the third quarter, the opponent was not very good. At the same time, Wade and Ron Howard only played for less than half a quarter of rest. The Jazz even took the lead, 31 to 29, and led the Warriors by 2 points in a single quarter.
After the third quarter, the Jazz were only 4 points behind.
It seems that the Jazz are very likely to get the result they want in this game.
In order to get this result, the Jazz's main players continued to open their firepower in the fourth quarter and did not rest.
And the effect is very obvious. In the first six minutes, the Jazz scored 22 points and directly smoothed the score.
Facing the Warriors who are rotating normally, the Jazz's main players will indeed put a lot of pressure on the rotation lineup led by Devin Booker.
However, when Chen Xiao and his team all came up, the Jazz were under great pressure in the next half.
In the entire fourth quarter, the Jazz scored 22 points in the first 6 minutes and 10 points in the next 6 minutes.
This contrast is a bit large. Of course, such a contrast is not just a matter of strength, but more of a matter of physical strength.
In the end, the Jazz defeated the Jazz 135-127 at home with their strength in the second half of the fourth quarter.
In this game, Chen Xiao made 13 of 20 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, and scored 38 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game.
In addition, Rogge, Wade, Clay, Davis, Devin Booker, Jaylen Rose, and Curry Jr. all scored in double digits.
In this game, the Warriors scored in double digits and played a very outstanding game of being a soldier.
On the other side, the Jazz's best performer in this game was Mitchell, with 27 points in the whole game. In addition, UAE scored 22 points, Gordon Hayward scored 27 points, Ingles scored 19 points, Jordan Jr. scored 16 points, and all five players were in double digits.
Even the five Jazz players were close to 20 points.
This performance is really outstanding.
If the Jazz's five were not really good, the Jazz would not have won 2 points in the third quarter, and they only lost 1 point in the first quarter.
So, counting it, the Jazz actually won 1 point in the first and third quarters of this game.
Unfortunately, the Jazz's substitute lineup in this game only scored 16 points.
As for the Warriors, the substitute lineup scored a total of 40 points, which was a bit big.
So, after the G2 in the Western Conference Finals, former head coach of the Jazz, Jerry Sloan, said again in an interview with Maizi: "The Jazz in this game is the best Jazz I have ever seen in my life. I can't express my love and respect for the Jazz players in this game. I won't feel sorry for it now. My only idea now is that they did not do any mistakes. They just met a team that is stronger than them. This Warriors is the first team in history."
Yes, Mr. Sloan is full of praise for the Jazz in this game, and even believes that the Utah double evil spirits have never played such a game before.
Indeed, the Jazz scored a total of 111 points in this game. When the two sides faced each other, the Jazz were even the dominant side.
In the history of the Jazz, facing a team of the Warriors and an invincible Warriors, isn't this the best performance in history?
As for losing in the end, it’s not that you are not good at it, but that the opponent is too good at it. There is really nothing wrong with this.
The Jazz performed such an outstanding performance in two consecutive games, which made Mr. Sloan very excited and happy.
For the Jazz team that has re-scored the Western Conference Finals after 20 years, these Jazz players can lose without being discouraged, and every failure can stimulate themselves to become stronger, which is very respectable in itself.
Not to mention Sloan, even the head coach of the Warriors Cole and the leading player of the Warriors Chen Xiao praised the Jazz after the game.
After playing G1 and G2, the Warriors and Jazz G3 will change their home court, and there will be four days of rest in the middle, and the game will not be played until May 20.
Logically speaking, after resting for such a long time, the Jazz returned to home court. This game should be able to perform very well. Not to mention defeating the Warriors, it should be possible to play a game like G2, right?
It's just a little surprising that the Jazz's feel in this game can be described as cold.
The Jazz's shooting percentage was less than 40% and the three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%. In the end, they lost 33 points at home 95-128 at home.
In this game, except for Al-Un, who scored 6 of 9 and scored 13 points, 7 of 16, Jordan Jr. who scored 20 points and 11 assists, Mitchell Jr. was 5 of 16, Hayward was 4 of 13, and Ingles was 3 of 10. The five of them performed well in the last game, and the only one who performed well in this game was Jordan Jr.
Even UAE looks very efficient, but facing the front defense of Davis, UAE struggled a little on the offensive end in this game.
It can only be said that no matter how well Ah Lian maintains his body and is the strongest endurance among yellow people, he is still old. After all, he is already 34 years old, and his thick eyebrows are really at their peak, and his talent is really outstanding.
However, from the other hand, the 34-year-old Ah Lian can force his eyebrows to surround him, which is itself a recognition of Ah Lian's strength.
After all, most superstar players in the entire NBA do not like to defend and attack players around the front.
Too unsexy and too show weakness.
You can refer to the animated picture of James defending Gasol in front of history. James' expression at that time can be described as hideous, and his movements are particularly funny. Let's just say that. If possible, James definitely doesn't want to defend in this way.
Of course, at that time, James was still willing to give everything for the team's victory and for defense, including his image.
NBA superstar players do not like running without the ball on offense, and defense does not like going around without the ball.
The same is true for thick eyebrows.
However, on the other hand, for the Jazz, this is also very desperate, because they did not even force out the strongest Warriors in the first two games.
The Warriors still have a lot of things that are not used, and their Jazz have run out of ammunition and food.
Even for the Jazz, the G3 Warriors are probably not the strongest.
To be continued...
