Chapter two hundred and thirty IX first strike is strong
The Jazz and the Clippers have had four regular season matches this season, with the Clippers having the advantage of three wins and one loss.
Before the game started, in the Clippers' away locker room, Dunleavy repeatedly emphasized to the players: "Protect our rebounds and minimize their second attacks as much as possible. The Rockets lose on rebounds, which is the most important point."
Ji Guo laughed: "Coach, the Rockets cannot protect the backcourt rebounds without Yao Ming. My brother and I promise to kill Boozer like the regular season!"
"You'd better do what you say." Old Dunleavy looked at him. Of course, this is not the only thing to pay attention to when dealing with the Jazz. Old Dunleavy turned around and continued to say to the players: "To protect your backcourt rebounds, we must grab as many frontcourt rebounds as possible. This task is left to the twins, and the other three players will complete the offense and return to defense quickly, so they can't give them a chance to get a fast break; in this series, we can use more joint defense to deal with them. I mean playing joint defense for a long time, forcing them to take action from the outside, but we have to pay attention to Korver; last point, if you have the chance, you have to play fast break!"
The tactical arrangement of Old Dunleavy is summed up in three points: rebounding, joint defense, and fast attack.
After the Clippers players appeared, the Jazz had completed the home team's entry ceremony.
The Jazz's home court is the "Energy Program Arena". This stadium is the famous Devil's home court. Even if it is not the most difficult home court in the league, it will never run out of the top three. The atmosphere on the scene is more popular than San Antonio's home court! Of course, in the eyes of Clippers players, this is that Jazz fans are more hostile to them!
As soon as the Clippers players appeared, there were endless swearing in the scene of racism, and the yellow-skinned twins were the first to be affected. They were the main targets of humiliation by Salt Lake City fans.
In 1974, the Jazz were founded in New Orleans. They moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979. After experiencing the first few years of struggle, the Jazz have become regular visitors in the playoffs since the 1980s. From 1983 to 2007, except in 2005, they had a regular season winning rate of more than 50% every year, and they made it to the playoffs for 23 years in 24 years. They were a traditional strong team. But they just missed the championship.
The Utah Jazz have only lost four games at home this season. The two brothers can feel the difference here as soon as they come in. The construction of the "Energy Program Arena" is steeper than other Arenas and has a relatively vertical angle. Players will feel a great sense of oppression when standing on the field. In addition, Utah fans are very enthusiastic. When they make huge noises, the stadium seems to be able to make the sound louder and form a huge echo. Therefore, playing in this arena will feel more depressed. Players with poor psychological qualities are prone to abnormality here.
The Jazz has always been difficult to play at home, except for the stadium factor. The greater impact is the plateau climate here, and playing on the plateau requires more physical strength. Many players are not very adaptable to it, especially like Yao Ming, so the Jazz always scored a scoring wave in the second half.
To sum up, when you come to Salt Lake City to play, your psychology and physiology will be affected, and it is not difficult to explain that it is easy to lose.
There is also a saying that the air conditioner in the lounge prepared by the Jazz Stadium for the visiting team always has problems. It does not cool down in summer and does not warm up in winter. It is said that the Jazz is doing it. However, there is no problem with the air conditioner in the visiting team's locker room today. Even if this is true, the Jazz will not do it often. People will do it when you do it, and they have to pay it back...
As soon as the two brothers entered the stadium, they were full of swearing words from Utah fans. They had seen the world, and their already outstanding psychological qualities were not greatly affected.
Ji Guomeng was worried that his teammates would be affected, so he ran to the technical stage before the game started, and saw that he was going to have another big flip.
Old Dunlivi and Sloan made a few simple and polite words before the game. At this time, they happened to see Ji Guomo's actions. However, after hesitating, Old Dunlivi also guessed what Ji Guomo's meaning was, but this time he did not stop him.
Speaking of which, no one in the league can make a backflip on the technical stage! If a defender starts with such a performance, fans will sigh a little at most, but when a big man with a height of 210cm can also make such a move, it is really amazing and amazing!
Ji Guomomiya has already won many fans by relying on this pre-match personal ceremony. Everyone wants to see him make somersaults before the game, especially from the technical stand, which has a particularly strong visual shock.
The little fox jumped gently at the beginning, and his whole body was on the technical stage. The scene shot immediately pointed at Ji Guomeng.
Today's game is the opening game of the second round, live broadcast across the United States, and fans who watched this game in front of TV know that this little fox finally performed his specialty again today!
Charles Barkley was commenting: "Look at this building around, this is the home court of the Jazz. You can feel the power here even if you are not on the scene. The NBA players say this is the most difficult away game to conquer. I think the coaches will agree, and of course we commentators will agree unanimously. This is the most difficult and overwhelming home court in the entire league."
Kenny Smith followed him and said: "Of course, we have experienced the Jazz's home game in their players' days. This may not be the most difficult home game, but it cannot fall out of the top three. Part of it is because of the team's lineup, head coach Sloan is always here, fans are cheering on your head, and the entire Utah states seem to be embracing this team. Not only the atmosphere on the scene, but what is even more difficult to deal with is the team. The Jazz are always so confident and capable."
Charles Barkley suddenly shouted, "Look, that fox is going to perform a 'big flip'. You heard it right. I call his move downwards on the technical desk a 'big flip'. It's nothing to do with a 'small' flip, I can do it now."
The fans in front of the TV curled their lips, and this big ass would brag. Just your current body shape is still a little bit, but it is almost the same as you turn from the rooftop...
Today's Jazz's starting lineup: Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, Andre Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Memit Oku.
The Clippers' starting lineup: Chauncey Billups, Ron Artest, James Sposey, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqie.
Old Dunleavy made some adjustments to the starting lineup today, putting Old Cat Mobri back to the sixth man position, allowing Percy and Artest to go against each other. This is an adjustment based on the Jazz lineup, which is more targeted.
Jumping the ball at the beginning is the least suspenseful part. Even the most fanatical Jazz fans do not think that Boozer and Oku can win the two brothers.
The result was similar to what they expected. Boozer lost a miserable defeat at the jump ball. Ji Guomo once again replaced his brother as the team's jump ball. He won without any suspense.
Sloan's Jazz is like Adelman's Rockets. No matter where these two coaches coach, they will label their own teams.
Adelman has always brought his Princeton; Sloan's team was labeled as the iron-blooded. The Jazz's offense and defense have won tough since postman Malone and Stockton. Of course, you say they are dirty, and in some aspects it is true. The Rockets have the most experience of this. One game hurts one, which shows how bad the Jazz's hand is.
Ji Guomo knew that these turtles were ruthless, so he decided to take the initiative first on the offensive end. He secretly gave Boozer an elbow and knocked the anti-bone to the ground!
"beep!"
How could the referee let Ji Guomomoto go so wildly? This is the Jazz away game, not the Staples Arena.
"Sorry, I'm so excited to score in the second round for the first time. Can the referee give me a chance?"
Ji Guomo's words made Boozer, who was interrupted and fell to the ground, almost suffocated to death. The suffocator lay on the ground, covering his lower abdomen and his face turned red. I don't know if it was painful or angry?
The Energy Center Arena was in an instant, and Jazz fans wanted to come up and kill Ji Guomeng, this bastard. They hadn't started to do anything yet. Unexpectedly, the other party had already taken action. Is this a warning?
"Damn Fu Manchu, I want to burn your braids!" Some Jazz fans must have watched the famous insulting China movie and shouted loudly to Ji Guomo.
"Chinese pig, I'm going to kill you!" This guy has an Asian face and speaks Japanese. He knows what breed it is without asking.
"Yellow-skinned pig, go back to Asia to grow sorghum!" When this guy insulted Ji Guohuo, he scolded the Japanese around him in. And he must have watched the red sorghum and thought that the Chinese were like in a movie.
The Jazz players came up to question Ji Guowei, but they were soon separated by the referee and the Clippers players. Among the Jazz players, Kirilenko was the most indignant. The Russian was hit by a Los Angeles elbow by the little fox last time and was shocked. Finally, he was diagnosed with a moderate concussion and rested for half a month. The two were very bitter and revenge.
Boozer had already been relieved, but was angry with Ji Guomo and did not breathe a sigh of relief. Now that his injury has worsened, he can only return to the locker room for treatment. The Jazz lost a general in less than half a minute to the start of the game. Sloan and the referee protested for a long time, and could only replace Carlos Boozer with Mir Sap.
What is Sloan protesting?
Of course, it was protesting that the referee did not give Ji Guomo a malicious foul, and even did not have a technical foul, and only a normal foul was sentenced.
Old Dunleavy thought secretly. The league first deliberately made things difficult for the Jazz on the schedule and almost did not allow Jazz players to rest. Then, looking at the referee's penalty just now, it was obvious that Ji Guohuo was treated lightly. Little Fox's foul should at least give him a technical foul!
From this perspective, the league obviously wanted to lose the Jazz, otherwise the away referee would not be so tempted to help them. Sterling's Grandet would not be willing to spend money to buy the referee.
Chapter completed!
