NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 625: Don’t give a chance, just sweep

Compared with the opponents who played against the Jazz before, the players of the Blazers have really performed very well. They have not been suppressed at the beginning of the game, but have played back and forth with Wang Pan and the others. , at least on the surface it looks like this.

Essentially, the Blazers are still at a disadvantage, because they need to pay more energy each time they score and face much more difficulty than the Jazz on the offensive end, and they may be able to maintain a stalemate on the score in a short period of time. , If the score difference is not widened, over time, if the Jazz’s competitive state does not change, it is still so good, and there is a high probability that it will end.

In this regard, Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz, saw it very clearly, so he did not immediately change the lineup and tactics, but prepared the opponent’s appetite and tried to rely on his excellent stability to drag down the development. player team.

On the other hand, the Blazers, from the head coach to the players, are very clear about the current state of the game of their own team.

They know that if they can’t find a break, they will continue to entangle with a team like the Jazz, even if their bench depth is also very good, there is still only one way to go.

So Mike Dunleavy quickly adjusted his tactical thinking, consumed a lot of physical energy, and Sabonis, whose performance on the field began to decline significantly, replaced him with Schramf and let Rasheed Wallace top it. In the position of the center, he will start to expand outwards, trying to expand the space of the attack.

However, this substitution directly led to the obvious lack of the Blazers’ internal combat power. Without such a player over 2.20 meters tall on the court, the internal deterrence immediately dropped a lot.

Seeing this, Jerry Sloan was not required to conduct tactical regulation. John Stockton, who was extremely experienced in the game, adjusted the direction of the main attack in a timely manner and began to guide the players to attack the Blazers’ interior.

The efficiency is quite high.

The first quarter of the game was over soon. The Jazz played at home and scored an astonishing 42 points in a single quarter. The Trail Blazers attacked with all their might and scored 30 points, still lagging behind by as much as 12 points. The point difference reached when the referee on duty did not favor the Jazz because of the home game.

The Jazz certainly won’t just lead by 12 points, as they have been in the past.

The double-digit point difference has put a lot of psychological pressure on the Blazers. Even with veterans such as Scott Pippen who are extremely experienced in playoff games to adjust the mentality of the players in the team, their performance is inevitable. There has been a certain change. It is no longer as calm and calm as in the first quarter of the game, but begins to become impatient. In a top match, once you are in a hurry, the opponent still remains calm and calm, then this game can be It’s hard to beat.

The reality confirmed this situation. As the game continued, the seemingly stalemate and mutually incompatible situation was gradually controlled by the Jazz. After a few minutes of entanglement, the Jazz began to make three points. Outside the line, he hit three-pointers in succession, and the defensive end continued to destroy the opponent’s offense. The point difference expanded to 20 points in a timely manner. Even if the Trail Blazers still did not give up, they could clearly feel their morale and spirit. Not as strong as before.

Aware of this situation, Wang Pan was full of fire at the beginning of the second half, shooting inside and outside, scoring 15 points in a row, and even sending a block and two steals on the defensive end, causing the Blazers to collapse directly.

The situation of the game after that was very clear. When there was no morale and no suspense in the game, the Blazers did not insist on anything. Anyway, the whole series has just begun, as long as they can learn from the experience and lessons of this game. , After making persistent efforts, it may not be impossible to win.

Well, at least on the surface, I don’t know what I think in my heart.

After a game, the fans and spectators who followed the game actually saw a lot of things. Just as expected, the Trail Blazers have a lot of deficiencies in terms of hard power. Anyway, with the Jazz. Compared to this (money is good).

To win, on the one hand, they need to maintain an excellent competitive state and their fighting spirit must be online. On the other hand, it depends on the face of the Jazz team. greater chance of winning.

This feeling is undoubtedly very frustrating!

But there is no good way, after all, the skills are not as good as others.

The current big score is 1-0, and they can advance by winning three more games. The morale of the Jazz team is naturally very high. All the players are gearing up, not ready to give the Trail Blazers the slightest chance, all thinking about ending the battle as soon as possible. .
