Curry's performance was incredible, while Deron's performance on the opposite side was average. He took 23 shots in the game and only scored 19 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 turnovers!
Obviously, Deron's efficiency was very low, and the entire court was restricted.
After the game, reporters also broke the news: Deron Williams had a conflict with head coach Sloan, and the two had a fight in the locker room!
At the post-game press conference, Sloan didn't see much, except that he answered questions very briefly, and it was obvious that he didn't want to talk.
In an interview, Deron made it clear that there was a problem with the team's tactical arrangement and that his tactical position was not enough.
Although he did not explicitly accuse Mr. Sloan, anyone could tell that Delong was very dissatisfied and was pointing the finger at Sloan.
Fortunately, other players in the team tried their best to deny the matter when interviewed, finding reasons for the two of them and downplaying the matter.
The Jazz boss also said in an interview that there is no conflict between the two, and the differences are only at the tactical level. Once they return to home court and win, there will be no problem.
The melon-eaters quickly forgot about this incident, but Deng Fang knew that Delong and Sloan would have to break up sooner or later before this matter was over.
The two masters and apprentices of Deron Williams and Sloan are best known for their conflicts.
Deron was trained by Sloan. From a rookie to one of the best point guards in the league, Sloan played a huge role in Deron's growth.
Before the draft, the Jazz management and Salt Lake City fans hoped to select Chris Paul, but Sloan defied all odds and selected Deron Williams with the third overall pick.
Deron is an uncut jade. His performance in his rookie season was far worse than Paul's.
Paul not only won the Rookie of the Year award in his rookie season, he was also included in the discussions among fans as the league's No. 1 point guard.
Under Sloan's training, Deron was no longer inferior when facing Paul in his second season.
Although Paul has entered the forefront of the MVP rankings after a few seasons, Deron is a hurdle that he cannot overcome, so much so that young fans only remember Deron because he "eats, sleeps and beats Paul".
As time goes by, Utah fans love Deron even more, and he is regarded as the hope of the Jazz in the next ten years.
Because he used to be a Rockets fan, because the Rockets always lost miserably against the Jazz in the playoffs, Deng Fang has always paid close attention to the Jazz. He remembers the conflict between Deron and Sloan very clearly.
The relationship between the two masters and apprentices seemed to have always been very good, but everything changed because of a quarrel during a game in the 2010-2011 season.
Deng Fang remembers clearly that the next season, in February of the 2010-11 season, Deron and Sloan had a dispute on the court. The day after the conflict, Sloan announced his resignation as the Jazz coach.
Although Sloan said it was not because of Deron that he chose to resign, everyone knew it.
This veteran coach who has been in charge of the team for 23 years never imagined that his coaching career would end because of a quarrel with his beloved disciple.
Sloan resigned, and the Jazz subsequently chose to trade Deron to the Nets in exchange for Harris, Favors and two future first-round picks.
This was a big event at the time.
No one expected that a master and apprentice would break up in this way!
It turns out that the breakup was hurtful for both of them.
Deron never regained his former glory after leaving the Jazz, and slowly withdrew from the ranks of the league's first-line point guards.
Sloan's resignation did not go well, and he eventually died of Parkinson's complications and dementia at the age of 78.
Regarding the details of the quarrel at that time, a Jazz substitute was interviewed many years later and said: "I'm not saying that Deron is the source of all problems, because this kind of quarrels were constant when I was in the Suns. But the situation at the time was that S.
Coach Long called a 'Four Up' tactic, which was initiated from the right side. Similarly, the team also had a 'Four Down' tactic, which was the same tactic, initiated from the left side."
"At that time, Coach Sloan asked us to play four-up, but Deron executed four-down. I think maybe Millsap and Al Jefferson both like to attack in the low post on the left side, and the tactics are similar. We finished the first half
At that time, Coach Sloan just watched from the sidelines without saying a word. During halftime, Sloan said at the time, 'If you want to play different tactics, at least tell me out of politeness and let me know what you will do.
Other tactics,' and he was watching from the sidelines while we lost to the Bulls."
"I was sitting next to Greg Miller, who is now the owner of the Jazz. I was next to him and I heard Sloan and Deron seem to be arguing in the tunnel, and Deron said something like, 'I heard you, you have the power.
, but I have the ability.' Deron said to Miller, 'I want to talk to you.' Everyone thought he was just losing his temper. What Sloan said was, 'You can't talk if I'm not here.' Then there were three people.
Make a lot of noise."
"After halftime, everyone didn't know what to do. Deron said, 'Man, I told them, if they are unhappy with me, they can get rid of me.'"
"It turned out that the second half was particularly painful. Sloan looked at me and said, 'Go and tell Deron that we will run a thump-up tactic.' However, Deron said, 'Tell Sloan that we will run a 43 tactic.'
Throughout the second half, I was sandwiched between them. In the end, we lost and they stopped yelling at each other.
We originally had a ceremony to gather together and shout slogans after the game. The slogan was, 'One, two, three, Jazz!'. But that day, Sloan shouted, 'One, two, three, good luck!' Everyone was a little confused. Why?
What about good luck?
Then Sloan resigned the next day and I never saw him again.
Two or three weeks later, we were in the training hall and Deron was sitting next to him. ESPN reported that Deron had been sent to the Nets. I looked at him and no one told him that he had been traded."
Overall, the break between Delong and Sloan's master and apprentice is a very heartbreaking thing.
Was Sloan wrong?
No!
He only manages the army strictly and does not allow players to challenge his authority.
What about Delong?
If I'm wrong, I'm definitely wrong, but what he wants is what most star players want.
Times have changed, it is different from the past, young players think more.
I am the boss, the leader of the team, and I have privileges in other teams!
The same ability, the same reputation, why can’t I have what others have?
