Chapter 341 Victory over the Jazz, the Curry generation is about to go online!
At 58:28, the Rockets' lead reached 30 points!
This goal greatly damaged the confidence of the Jazz generals.
When a second-year rookie is so confident on the court that he dares to turn around and celebrate after taking a shot...
The Jazz's defense is already a joke!
The fans at the scene had already made no sound.
They looked at all this in despair, not knowing how to react.
This season, although the Jazz are not in the playoffs (ninth in the Western Conference), their home record is still very good.
Dragons at home and worms on the road are the epitome of the Jazz's season.
Their devilish home court can still show strong competitiveness even when facing favorites like the Heat and Lakers.
But when facing the Rockets today, the situation far exceeded people's expectations.
There is no closeness, no devil's home court, and there is no so-called "resilience"...
The Jazz were like sandbags from top to bottom, being beaten from start to finish by the Rockets without any chance to fight back.
Especially Deron Williams.
As the star player in Salt Lake City, he actually fell behind in the competition with Curry.
Although he occasionally used his physical advantage to forcefully defeat Curry, the cute god always responded quickly.
And when Curry took the initiative to attack, Deron suffered silently, lacked counterattack, and completely lacked the grace when facing Paul.
At the end of the half, the Rockets led the Jazz by 75:43, leading the Jazz by as many as 32 points!
As players from both teams left the tunnel, deafening boos erupted.
However, the boos were not given to the away team as usual, but to the owner of the venue - the Jazz.
Obviously, this half of the game caused a huge psychological gap among Jazz fans.
It was not my intention to switch sides at the last minute, and I cried when I saw the score difference...
Some impatient fans had even packed up their things and prepared to leave early.
............
Rockets locker room.
Yao and Mai chatted happily.
Among the team, they are the only two seniors who experienced the defeat to Salt Lake City in those two years.
This time, they were able to beat their opponent by more than 30 points at halftime, which can be said to have made Yao and Mai feel bad!
McGrady happily touched Curry’s crew cut:
"The little rookie played really well. Deron can't even take advantage of you."
"Just for your performance today, your new shoes will be released in two days. I will buy a hundred pairs to support you!"
Yao Ming immediately agreed: "I'll get a hundred pairs too."
George, who was resting with his head down, immediately raised his head when he heard these words: "What about me?"
Dayao smiled slightly: "Let's see how you perform in the second half."
"Are you going to be so cruel? I feel that the mentality of the Jazz people has collapsed."
Tony Allen wondered.
It is hard to imagine that the person who "speaks righteously" for the Jazz is actually the fierce teacher Tony on the court.
"We have an old saying in China: Don't persuade others to do good unless they have suffered."
"The Jazz are to me and T-Mac what the Suns are to Kobe."
"In a word, I beat you every time you see me, and you can beat me as hard as you can."
"If we meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, we will get the same treatment."
Yao Ming said seriously.
When Kobe Bryant led the Lakers, he almost lost 7 Suns.
But when they held two match points at 3-1, the Suns staged a comeback against the wind.
After that, Kobe regarded the Suns as his "enemy."
The "trauma" caused by the Jazz to Yao Mai is probably even deeper than this!
If it weren't for Shen Fei's appearance, they might have faded out of the NBA with regrets.
In other words, the Jazz almost ended Yao Mai's Rockets era.
Teacher Tony no longer had doubts and nodded frequently.
George is also full of fighting spirit and ready to show off his talents.
At the other end of the arena, the atmosphere in the Jazz locker room was very solemn.
As soon as Sloan walked in, he started spouting words like a machine gun.
The team members all lowered their heads and said nothing, not daring to look into his eyes.
So far this season, the Jazz have never encountered such a tragic situation, and the players didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
The defection of the home fans left them even more confused.
As the leader of the team, Deron has dark clouds on his face.
If anyone observes carefully, they will find that the "gloom" on his face becomes more and more as Sloan speaks.
"They are so talented, we should put in more efforts to compete with them!"
"Intensify, intensify, how many times have I said intensify!"
"It must be..."
"enough!"
Sloan was talking enthusiastically when Delong suddenly broke out and scolded the former sharply.
At this time, Sloan was stunned.
He didn't expect that someone would dare to talk to him like this, and he didn't expect that the person speaking was Deron Williams, whom he regarded as his own son.
"sorry..."
"I'm a little confused and want to think about how to play the second half of the game... I'm sorry."
Delong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly began to apologize.
Sloan was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "After the game, we will have a good chat."
............
The half-time break ended quickly and the game started again.
As soon as they came up, Jazz put on a posture of defeating his troops and devoted himself to defense very seriously.
However, the Rockets' morale in this game is at its peak and they can no longer be stopped.
First, McGrady hit a three-pointer under Kirilenko's close pressure.
Then, George intercepted CJ Miles' dribble one-on-one on the defensive end.
After stealing the ball, Paojiao sprinted towards the Jazz half court and once again performed a wonderful dunk.
In less than a minute, the Rockets hit another 5:0 shock wave, and the point difference between the two teams gradually approached 40 points!
Poor Jazz, some of the fighting spirit that was finally gathered during the halftime break was gone at this moment.
After five minutes of the third quarter, the Rockets were already leading by 46 points!
When Mark Jackson saw that the battle was decided, he replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand.
Although Yao and Mai are not completely happy yet, they respect the coach's decision very much.
This time, Birdman Anderson, who had not played for a long time, finally returned from injury and took to the field.
Also appearing with him were two Chinese generals, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin.
Teacher Tony and Lori also appeared together.
It’s hard to imagine that this is already the most fringe lineup the Rockets can field!
On the Jazz side, Sloan is also a face-saving person.
After seeing Mark Jackson withdraw his troops, he also replaced all the main players.
Hayward also got a chance to play again.
Before he walked to the technical stage, Sloan stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Play seriously and try to recover some points."
Hayward nodded seriously.
However, the progress of the game once again exceeded the Jazz coach's expectations.
The Rockets' third lineup also played impressively.
Under the organization of Lowry and Shuhao, they played a very smooth offense.
Among them, Yi Jianlian performed outstandingly.
He frequently took shots from beyond the three-point line and achieved good results of three of four.
The Birdman, who had been separated for a long time, also relied on Shu Hao's wonderful pass to complete a wonderful alley-oop, and also performed the long-lost "Big Bird Spreading Its Wings" celebration.
In this way, the point difference between the two teams increased instead of decreasing during the garbage time.
When the red light on the timer came on, the score was fixed at 159:101. The Rockets defeated the Jazz with a huge advantage of 58 points.
After this game, they continued to expand their winning streak, with the winning streak reaching 25 games!
There are only 10 games left to reach Yao Ming's goal of 35 games!
............
Houston, inside the Rockets' general manager's office.
Shen Fei turned off the TV with satisfaction.
The Rockets will have three days of rest next, and he will shift his attention from the team to Under Armor.
Just because in two days, Under Armor's short-term highlight - Curry Generation, will be launched soon!
