Two hundred and seventieth chapters Delong's other side
"The kids, we are already behind 3:0. We have no way out, or we have nothing to be afraid of. Even if we fail, I hope you lose on the way to charge, rather than like now, Cui is dejectedly waiting for his opponent to harvest the heads."
Before the fourth game, Sloan made the final mobilization.
"come on."
Seeing the Jazz's morale rising, Sloan showed a gratified smile, just as the saying goes, everything is left to basketball!
Compared to Sloan's mobilization, the Zen master simply said a few words, "Win the game and you will sleep in Los Angeles."
The competition begins.
Lakers starters: Gasol, Millsap, Wang Hao, Korver, Fisher.
Jazz starters: Oku, Boozer, Kirilenko, Ronnie Brewer, Deron.
The lineup presented by the Lakers was exactly the lineup that fits Gasol in the last game.
Oku: "...why are you still?"
No one paid attention to Oku's grievances. The game started as usual, and Wang Hao steadily won the first attack.
Fisher gave the basketball to Gasol directly. Facing the experience baby Oku, Gasol smiled evilly.
Oku: "What's wrong with you?"
As if facing a great enemy, Oku stared at Gasol tightly, and his movements, which were not very fast, became even stiffer.
Swish!
Gasol scored the first point for the Lakers with a light hook.
"Paul, why do you feel like Oku was cast in shadow?"
"Ah? No, hahaha!"
Gasol is humble everyday.
Delong, with a solemn expression, carefully analyzed the situation on the court, hoping to find the most stable ending point. Before the game, the Jazz held an internal meeting and had been passing the tactic of relegating the Lakers. They could not score goals, but it would be better to play each goal for more than 20 seconds, so that the Lakers could not find the opportunity to push the fast break and put the Lakers in the quagmire of fighting against the Jazz in position.
His eyes swept across the game and found that his teammates had no good chance. Delong was not in a hurry to shoot the ball, and controlled the ball steadily, staring at the time above the rebound.
Swish!
With 4 seconds left in the offensive time, Fisher was defending, and Deron seized the opportunity to pass Fisher in one step, hitting a quick stop jump shot.
"This rhythm?"
Although Wang Hao was confused, he didn't take it seriously.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol held the ball under the basket, and Boozer came directly to interfere. After Gasol passed back to Millsap, Boozer returned to defense without hesitation.
"Damn it! Where is the grinder?"
Wang Hao finally understood the Jazz’s tactical intentions.
"Position? Haha! Is there any attacking weapon that is stronger than Wang Hao?"
The answer is no.
Wang Hao directly reached out to ask for the ball, and through Fisher's second transmission, the ball came to Wang Hao's hand.
"You want to fight with us and reduce the rhythm? Haha!"
Wang Hao said to Kirilenko.
“Is it useful?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hao made a three-pointer with a sign.
Swish!
“It’s useless!”
Kirilenko's eyes began to twitch. In the four series, Wang Hao beaten every game. Especially in one game, Wang Hao was directly exposed by a big hat at the beginning. This AK47 Mr. is now full of anger.
Ignoring Wang Hao's goal, Delong continued to control the rhythm and played as arranged before the game.
"Strike the inside line to death. Since they want to fight with us, we will compete with them."
Wang Hao issued the order directly.
In a blink of an eye, the Lakers' iron barrel formation took shape. Gasol was in the center, and Wang Hao and Millsap were guarding the flanks.
"Is the Lakers defending the joint defense?"
Looking at the Lakers' defensive formation, Barkley asked at his old partner.
"Well, 3-2 joint defense, it seems that the Lakers will compete with the Jazz in this game."
...
What is the best way to break the league defense? Most people know that it is a three-pointer and a breakthrough.
Do the Jazz have three points?
The answer is yes, but is the Jazz's three-pointers better than the Lakers? This is up to be discussed.
As for breakthrough, Wang Hao and Gasol completely strangled the possibility of breakthrough, unless Deron can throw himself in the air again and again like Wade.
Deron couldn't do it, nor did the other Jazz.
The only thing Jazz can rely on is their external touch.
Looking at the Lakers' iron barrel formation, the Jazz did this, but how to get the ball became a difficult problem.
In basketball games, all tactics are for putting the ball in the basket. Now that the ball cannot be entered, what's the use of tactics?
"oops!"
The old coach Sloan slapped his palms in annoyance on the sidelines. Why didn't he expect the Lakers to be like a gangster to defend the joint defense?
The Lakers have been hitting people for too long, so people have forgotten the saying that joint defense is still there, and people have also forgotten that the league allows joint defense rules to limit O'Neal.
Everything is too late, and the temporary formation change is ineffective. No matter how the Jazz change the formation, as long as they cannot break through the Lakers' joint defense, the end of the game will be the same.
Deron has never been the one who can compete with his personal abilities in the entire team. As for Boozer, it is even more idiotic. At this moment, Sloan missed his favorite student very much. Malone, who ranked among the top 50 superstars, if Malone was present, Malone would definitely use his iron elbow to open a road! Sloan's eyes couldn't help but float like the retired No. 32 jersey above the stadium.
"Thousand wins, what's the use of a thousand wins? There is not even a championship." At this moment, Sloan developed a deep doubt about himself.
"I studied the tactics for two days, and it was cracked by the Lakers' rookie in just one round. The Zen master didn't even open his eyes. Is this the gap?"
Not only doubt, but Sloan also felt a strong sense of frustration.
Although Delong has always regarded himself as a younger brother in front of Wang Hao, the coaching staff was helpless at this moment and his teammates couldn't count on him, so Delong stood up.
This scene is very similar to Iverson in the first round.
57:30, the Lakers' score in the first half can only be said to be pretty good, but the Jazz's score was a bit low.
The Lakers' joint defense left the Jazz helpless. Deron scored 22 points in the first half with his life, and he could only watch his team fall behind by 27 points.
Every attack of the Lakers seems extremely relaxed. On the other hand, the Jazz have always been Deron's attack on the inside again and again, and have been knocked down again and again.
"Give up, our season is over."
During the intermission, Sloan seemed to have used all his strength to finish this sentence.
"No, coach, it's not over yet, we..."
Speaking of this, Delong doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't know what method to use to break the Lakers' defense.
"coach...!"
Deron looked at Sloan unwillingly.
"I'm sorry, kids, I've let you down."
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Jazz directly replaced a group of listless substitutes, and Delong and other main players sat on the bench one by one with dejected silence.
"I guess this was the same when Kobe was eliminated last year!"
...
112:85 The Lakers swept the Jazz 4:0 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. The opponent in the Western Conference Finals will be the winner between the Spurs and the Hornets.
"Go back to Los Angeles!"
Wang Hao howled and boarded the bus!
"Wang Hao, I have something bad news to tell you."
The Zen master followed Wang Hao with a serious look on his face.
