Chapter 268 The Remnants of the Old Times
NO.13, the Clippers vs. Jazz at home.

Su Yang was very upset about losing the Jazz back to back, so he rushed to the training base early in the morning to watch the video with the scouts and coaching staff. The key to Tokkaton's resurgence after leaving is not to rely on bad performance. The third pick of Deron Williams is to use two first-round exchanges.

Anyway, the 04-05 season only had 26 wins, but that was their 26 wins after hard work, and their strength is that great.

In addition to Deron, another important reason for the Jazz to achieve a record of 17 wins and 5 losses in the new season is that Boozer was traded from the Cavaliers to successfully form the Utah Shuangsha and complete the offensive and defensive system of the Jazz. It just so happens that Deron is that kind Precocious point guard.

Su Yang was quite surprised to see the news that the Jazz traded for Boozer before, and lamented that it was really destined.

But think about it carefully, Sloan just likes short insiders, what about Boozer and Millsap who he robbed, because Sloan himself liked small defenses and big defenses in college, and the Jazz's 14 offensive system really needs speed Faster big man, Salt Lake City has no high draft pick in nearly 23 years of history, and it is a land of snowy plateaus, coupled with Sloan's strict personality and local white supremacy, no big-name players are willing to join, and they can only find Some lighter versions of Garnett and Duncan.

"To play this 90s-style Jazz team, you have to play against giant planets. When they strictly implement the defensive strategy and the defense is fully in place, scoring difficult goals will defeat their fighting spirit." Spoelstra gave the overall strategy, looking at Su Yang.

Su Yang nodded in agreement. The Jazz in front of him is not a so-called civilian team like the Pistons, but a team supported by a second-rate point guard and a third-rate power forward, plus two high-IQ players Kirilenko and Okur. Strictly enforce the policy.

"I'll just catch Fisher and let him know what I'm capable of..." Looking at the Jazz's list, Su Yang made up his mind, thinking that Fisher and Deron would form the backcourt, and it might be difficult to meet other teams. Okay, but when you meet yourself and Ray Allen, you can definitely use your height and running advantages to shoot three-pointers. The reason for the big loss last time is that Ray Allen did not play back to back.

Once the plan is determined, the training begins.

In a blink of an eye, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, the pre-match ceremony.

According to the arrangement, the announcer Ralph Lawler specially introduced Jennifer Connelly and JK Simmons from the "Juno" crew who came to watch the battle, as well as Blake Lively and Amber Heard. Jan's jersey.

Su Yang deliberately shook hands with JK Simmons, and said with a smile: "You may not believe that in another ten years, you will become a frequent visitor in various short videos in China, and your iconic upturned laugh will become a kind of Cultural symbols have been circulated all over the world for a long time.”

JK Simmons was a little confused, but he raised his head and laughed, took a photo with Su Yang and put it in the team memorial hall.

Then the game started.

The Clippers won the ball and launched the first attack. Su Yang commanded the formation of one inside and four outside, and then used Varejao to cover and go up. After receiving a pass from Iguodala, he faced Fisher and easily got rid of it with a feint. Strides to the free throw line and scores on a floater over Okur.

Fisher is currently still a prime-year version, but because of his weight, he still suffers from a particular disadvantage in lateral movement speed.

Su Yang wasn't polite at all. He didn't even need Nian's cover in the next round, and directly took the ball to break through. Seeing that Fisher was moving sideways to make an offensive foul, he decisively pulled the ball and turned around to avoid it, and then retreated. Go beyond the three-point line and pull up to rush the shot.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly, and Fisher just stayed where he was and put on a stance, and he also gritted his teeth and endured the pain in advance.

That action was nothing more than a hint to the referee that 'My old fish Fisher was indeed hit, but I am a tough guy and I have to hold back'.

The atmosphere suddenly became very funny, and the audience burst into laughter.

Su Yang retreated with a smile, saying that you, Fisher, are an unknown foul-maker. If Varejao's flopping is the best actor, then your Fisher's flopping is the best of the Oscars. For example, Divac, the originator of flopping, also lamented that you are not as good as Fisher, and the pig-headed coach Rivers also lamented that you, Fisher, do nothing else except flopping on the court. I have long been prepared.

Soon it was the Clippers' turn to attack again. Su Yang took the initiative to adjust his strategy and asked Milicic to cover at the top of the arc. The basketball hit the circle and rebounded into the net for a total of eight seconds.

The fast-paced offense was executed for most of the quarter, and the Jazz had nothing to do, while the Clippers defensively frantically compressed the inside to force a three-pointer.

Since Lagabel left, the Jazz have engaged in a two-point guard backcourt combination this season. The three-pointer is really a bit horrible. They averaged 11.7 shots per game, the third-lowest shot in the league, and an average of 33.5% per game. Retro basketball.

The Clippers defend like that, and there is a strong forward rotation to interfere. It is said that it is a three-pointer, so give it some time.

After halftime, the Jazz team made 14 of 1 three-pointers, while the Clippers counterattacked with various fast breaks and led by 23 points.

In an interview in midfield, when he talked about the triple-double data and whether he would hit a high score in the second half, Su Yang shook his head and said bluntly: "I want to take advantage of the Jazz's large number of three-pointers, grab a few more rebounds, and contribute to the average triple-double. Be prepared to avoid a few shortfalls in the future."

Publicly emphasize that you have to brush data, No.1 in history!
Back in the second half, in the third quarter, the Jazz changed their lineup. CJ Myers replaced Fisher in the first game and defended Su Yang who was holding the ball. The hit rate has become higher than before, there is no way.

After three quarters, the Clippers led by 38 points, 2 points more than the record for the largest reversal created by the Jazz.

Spoelstra did not arrange for Iguodala and other main players to continue playing. Su Yang looked at the statistics and found that he was too lazy to continue playing after 14 rebounds. Time was left for the trio of Millsap, Kaman and Tucker, but the Jazz were still the main players. The lineup played.

Jazz coach Sloan obviously did not change his strategy because he fell too far behind. That mentality is by no means pretending to be strong.

After all, after Sloan led the Jazz to the peak of the finals twice but lost to the Bulls, it took another eight years to lead the Jazz to rise again when Malone and Stockton left. Choose to retire.

Seeing that Sloan was still seriously shouting tactics, veteran Payton suddenly sighed: "Sloan and Salt Lake City are really a perfect match!"

Su Yang thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Sloan likes retro style of play, and also likes retro style. As an idealist living in a world of ice and snow, he stubbornly refuses to cooperate with the mainstream business of the league, strictly restricts the transparency of the underwear of jazz cheerleaders, and prohibits jazz mascots from using cannonball guns Sending out team T-shirts to live crowds, even banning those grotesque texts from pregame ceremonies.

But the Jazz is destined to be unable to achieve ultimate success without a superstar, and this time their resurgence will not even reach the height of the finals.

Sloan is like Sisyphus who has been repeatedly pushing the boulder from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, never giving up, great and tragic.

"It's also Larry Miller who fully supports him, otherwise we can't do it..." As a person who has experienced it, Su Yang knows that such an idealistic remnant of the old era like Sloan, without the support of Jazz chairman Larry Miller, would not be able to do so for decades. Persist as a day.

And just after Larry Miller died of illness, Deron had a public conflict with Sloan, but the boss Taylor was vague.

Then Sloan left.

Between sighs, after the game was over, the Clippers finally defeated the Jazz 117 to 109. In the fourth quarter, the Jazz’s main force was overtaken by 30 points as a substitute. Can let go of victory.

One day off, the Clippers are a guest in Portland.

The game starts at 04:30 pm.

Su Yang saw McMillan seriously admonishing Roy and Oden on the sidelines, and thought that McMillan was also a remnant of the old era, and his coaching philosophy would never be updated. Every time he went to a team, he would improve his record by emphasizing discipline. The concept will always cause his team to suffer from injuries, then stagnate in performance, encounter a crisis in the locker room, and then be notified by the boss to leave get out of class.

After thinking about it, the Clippers won the jump ball, Su Yang took it to the top of the arc to single out Roy, and after breaking through, he went into the paint and dunked Oden.

The dunking of Oden became a repertoire for the Clippers against the Trail Blazers, and various screenshots of the live broadcast were spread wildly on Twitter and Facebook.

There was no suspense in the game. The Clippers led all the way until the end, winning 109 to 94, and Su Yang got another triple-double.

The whole team flew back to Los Angeles to rest for a day, preparing to face the Rockets with a good record after the coaching change, and come to the National Derby.
