I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 205 The Jazz at a Low Period

After defeating the Clippers, the Warriors rushed to Utah overnight to play back-to-back against the Jazz.

At this stage, the Jazz has a record of 4 wins and 4 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference.

Star star Deron Williams performed quite well in the new season, averaging 20.4 points, 8.2 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Compared with last season, De Xiaopang's scoring increased slightly, but his assist data dropped significantly. The reason for this may be because of Boozer's departure.

Although the main player Boozer was lost in the offseason, Al Jefferson was traded in the free market.

And Paul Millsap has made rapid progress. In the new season, he scored 17.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists, basically making up for the loss of Boozer.

It can be said that the Jazz's lineup is still very good.

But it was such a strong lineup that failed to achieve the expected effect.

There will be no problems if you win, but a series of problems will erupt when you lose.

Due to the poor starting record and other factors, there are rumors that the conflict between head coach Sloan and Deron is getting bigger and bigger, and has reached an irreconcilable point.

The head coach's discord has cast a haze over the Jazz, making the team panicked and the players unable to concentrate on playing the game.

It can be said that the Jazz at this stage is the weakest in recent seasons.

Facing this disheartened Jazz team, the Warriors, who are playing back-to-back games, still have a chance to win on the road.

After a series of pre-game activities, the game officially started.

In the jump ball session, Chandler took off hard and beat Jefferson to touch the basketball first, moving back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors a chance to attack first.

Curry quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and with the help of Chandler's pick-and-roll cooperation, he met Al Jefferson in a misplaced position.

After Jefferson suffered a serious injury, his athletic ability dropped significantly. His defensive ability was originally not very good, and now it is even worse.

The elementary school student took advantage of the change of pace, accelerated past Jefferson, quickly rushed into the penalty area, and scored a flying layup.

The ball transitions and the Jazz attack.

Deron dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, did not call for pick-and-roll cooperation, and directly changed direction and broke through into the penalty area.

Curry stepped back immediately, ready to move laterally and block at any time.

With the small body of an elementary school student who can be destroyed by a collision, he can only adopt a defensive method of fighting and retreating.

De Xiaopang broke through to the right edge of the penalty area, immediately stopped, stepped back to distance himself from Curry, and hit a mid-range jumper.

Under the basket, Chandler picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and sent the ball out.

Sun Yi received the pass and quickly moved forward.

Kirilenko immediately stepped forward to defend, not giving Sun Yi a chance to speed up.

Although Ak47's continuous injuries have caused his strength to decline, his defensive awareness is still there, and he is still one of the players with the most comprehensive defensive capabilities in the league.

Seeing this, Sun Yi, who was dribbling forward, immediately passed the ball to Curry, who was following up on the right, and then ran towards the frontcourt with Kirilenko entangled.

After receiving the ball, Curry quickly dribbled forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

David Lee stepped forward and provided an off-ball screen for Xiao Gongju.

Ellis bypassed the screen and went outside the three-point line on the right, received a pass from Curry, resisted Millsap's defense from the switch, and shot a three-pointer.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Under the basket, Jefferson got stuck in position, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and passed it to Deron to dribble forward.

De Xiaopang dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line, and directly crossed and changed directions to break into the three-point line.

Curry retreated quickly, blocking Deron's breakthrough route.

At the same time, Sun Yi retreated quickly to help Curry defend.

The unguarded Kirilenko ran to the high area on the right and made a posture of catching the ball.

But it never occurred to me that Delong didn't pass it on!

This guy carried Curry to the mid-range area on the right, pushed away the elementary school student with all his strength, then pulled it up, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Sun Yi who rushed back rushed over from De Xiaopang's side, stretching his arms to interfere.

Clap!
The basketball Delong just took was slapped by Sun Yi and flew away.

David Lee immediately ran to the free throw line, grabbed the out-of-control basketball, and then threw the ball forward.

After a fast break, Ellis accelerated to the frontcourt, ran beyond the three-point line to receive the pass, then rushed to the basket first, and completed the fast break with a civilian layup.

Seeing Deron running back to the backcourt to receive the serve with a blank face, Sun Yi was puzzled by his previous offensive choice.

Deron is one of the best star guards in the league. He is at his peak, and it is impossible not to see his teammates running out of space.

Sun Yi guessed that this guy might be angry with Jazz coach Sloan and wanted to prove his strength, so he got into a fight.

In fact, Sun Holmes is almost close to the truth.

Deron will continue to play blindly in the next game.

It was the Jazz's turn to attack, and De Xiaopang dribbled towards the frontcourt.

Millsap ran forward quickly, trying to block one for Deron.

But Fatty didn't appreciate it and chose to break through from the other side of Millsap's block.

To fight a weak guard like Curry alone, you don't have to have the hands. It would be too embarrassing to call your teammates for help.

The elementary school student was very active in defense and stuck up with small steps, preventing Deron from speeding up.

On the other side, after Sun Yi guessed Delong's thoughts, he did not hesitate to let Kirilenko go and went to help defend with confidence.

Kirilenko, who was unguarded, shouted at Deron and reached for the ball.

De Xiaopang seemed not to hear it and continued to crush Curry towards the penalty area.

When he came to the penalty area, he was immediately double-teamed by Sun Yi and Curry and was forced to stop.

Seeing this, other Jazz players immediately ran over to respond.

But Fatty De did not choose to pass the ball, but used his strength to squeeze out Curry who was defending him, and relied on Sun Yi to barely throw the ball.

Under the basket, Chandler blocked Jefferson who was trying to grab an offensive rebound.

Sun Yi turned around and returned to the basket to grab the defensive rebound, and then accelerated towards the frontcourt.

Under the effect of the badge [King of Counterattack], he quickly surpassed the retreating Delong and continued forward.

When he came near the midline, Sun Yi saw Kirilenko's delay in coming forward, so he immediately made a dribble change from behind, shook Ak47 away, and quickly advanced toward the frontcourt.

David Lee and Ellis quickly followed up from left to right, rushing to the Jazz's restricted area.

At the same time, only shooting guard Miles of the Jazz retreated back.

Facing a three-on-one situation in the frontcourt, Sun Yi broke into the three-point line, attracted Myers' defensive attention, and threw the ball toward the basket.

David Lee, who quickly followed up, rushed to the basket, jumped up hard, caught the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.

Such a powerful alley-oop collaboration immediately aroused overwhelming boos from the audience.

After all, Energy Solutions Arena is known as the Devil's home stadium, and the fans here are naturally not fuel-efficient.

On the Jazz bench, coach Sloan saw the scene on the field and was extremely disappointed with Deron's behavior.

"Damn it! This guy is messing around again!"

Sloan shook his head helplessly, immediately asked the referee for a timeout, and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
