The current Jazz team is no longer the Jazz team of "Utah Shuangsha" Karl Malone and Stockton, but after selecting Deron Williams, adding Carlos Boozer, Sloan has another team. Picked up the old line that I was used to.

In comparison, although Deron Williams is a few blocks away from Stockton in terms of physical fitness, he is far behind Stockton in terms of overall situation and passing awareness. As for Carlos Boozer, he is not as good as Karl Malone. It's even more incomparable. Maybe he is better than Karl Malone only a little bit, and that is his mid-range shooting ability.

Speaking of the combination of Karl Malone and Stockton, in the 18-year career of the two people, the most incredible thing is the health of the two people. In the case of being able to make the playoffs every year , Karl Malone has only missed less than double-digit games, and Stockton has slightly more than him, but it is only a dozen games.

This is also the reason why the two often appear in the total data rankings, because few players can play for so many years without any injuries and play so steadily. In addition to their iron-like appearances, their combination also has a The characteristic is that both of them play dirty.

Stockton's dirtyness is not known to the world, but it is spread among many players. He is famous for his small moves with very high concealment. Loves flying legs for elbows and layups.

Malone's elbow does not hit the unknown, and few unknown players have tasted his desperate iron elbow. Looking at the people who fell under his elbow, there can be a long row of star players, many of them Hall of Fame players.

For example, "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas, who had [-] stitches on his head is proof; "Admiral" David Robinson was hit by his elbow and fell directly on the court in shock; Broken teeth, Mutombo and Yao Ming fell to the ground under his elbows, and Robert Horry was almost kicked inhumanely by him.

It is precisely because of this tradition that the Jazz's playing style has always been hated by many teams and players. It is better when they are away from home. He didn't restrain his own actions, and the referee was also used to the loose penalties there.

Stephen himself also encountered the Humphries incident there. Although he has been traded by the Jazz to the Toronto Raptors and has developed there, Stephen still has no good impression of this Jazz team.

At the beginning of the game, Stephen played very passionately, hitting the jazz's basket repeatedly. Boozer's body is still strong, but his speed is not enough. Unlike Malone, he has the body of a forward but the speed of a guard. As for the defense Not to mention his aggressiveness, but his footwork is very flexible, and he is very good at defending against pick-and-rolls. Stephen called Coupard or Wilcox to do pick-and-rolls for himself and found that he might as well not do it. Lessimo's tactics were thrown aside, and he continued to chug.

It soon resulted in a foul by Jazz center Okur and Boozer. You must know that the game has only been played for less than 5 minutes. Sloan couldn't help frowning on the sidelines. The Jazz's defense is not very good. , If the factors at home are excluded, the Jazz's defense can't even make it to the top ten in the league.

Facing Stephen's strong performance, even if Sloan has a thousand tricks in his chest, he has nothing to do. The general trend of the league is like this. No matter how hard he is, he can't do what he wants to do. There is nothing wrong with doing some things at home. , but it will not work to get the whole league.

It is not a mistake that the league tends to develop outside attack. Sports always serve the fans. A sport without fans is like water without roots. It cannot develop. Why did the NBA play in the 90s It is popular all over the world because it is good-looking. Driven by Michael Jordan, the game is pleasing to the eye. Dunk, breakthrough, and outside shooting, at least in the eyes of fans, are much better-looking than those small hooks, layups, and wipes.

Not being able to keep pace with the times is tantamount to going upstream. The current game situation really makes Sloan feel a little powerless. Let the players play in the old way, the players are not willing, and the fans are not willing to watch. Even Salt Lake City fans are also tired of the same pick-and-roll day after day and year after year.

In this regard, it can be seen from the attendance rate when the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs visited that Salt Lake City fans also like that kind of wild and chaotic offense. I don't like the kind of rigid offensive and defensive warfare.

Kirilenko is a very good defensive player, but he is not a very good one-on-one defensive player. He has a very good sense of supplementary defense and defensive assistance. Steals or blocks like sneak attacks can make every player attack You have to be careful, but against Stephen, Kirilenko's height and continuous jumping ability are a bit out of reach.

Kirilenko is not good at defending Stephen's aggressive attacking style, but it is impossible to replace Kirilenko, because no one in the Jazz can match Kirilenko's defensive ability , Before Sloan could come up with a countermeasure, Stephen caused Okur's foul again, and Sloan immediately replaced Okur with Jaron Collins.

Carlesimo found that his own tactics were not very effective against the Jazz. On the one hand, he was immature, and on the other hand, the Jazz's defense against pick-and-rolls was really good, so he didn't interfere with Stephen's actions and let him Come according to your own will.

Stephen began to pass the ball to his teammates more and more after he had been attacking for a period of time. When Watson was restricted by Deron Williams, Stephen passed the ball more to Durant.

Durant faced Ronnie Brewer's defense. Ronnie Brewer is also a player with excellent physical fitness. When he was at Arkansas University, he played the position of point guard. With Zero One's height, if he were to switch to other teams, he could be a point forward or a combo guard like Brandon Roy, but there is no such opportunity in the Jazz.

The ball is firmly controlled by Deron Williams. He is the starting point of the pick-and-roll attack. Carlos Boozer is the coordinator. The other players can only wait on the outside to catch the ball. Without him The opportunity to attack the ball cannot play his best offensive method, but if he just shoots from the outside, his shooting rate is not ideal due to the inability to fully straighten his arm caused by a car accident when he was a child.

The former boss of the team, Kirilenko, could only watch there, and he naturally had nothing to do. If he was not happy, he would not be active, but Durant is a person who is very good at finding offensive opportunities. With his own height, footwork and shooting advantages, he has scored in front of Ronnie Brewer several times in a row.

Sloan was very dissatisfied with this. In his eyes, Durant was just a guy who could only shoot from the outside. Ronnie Brewer was attacked by him so continuously, which added another threat to the already very stressful inside. , How could he bear it.

After Ronnie Brewer was once again scored by Durant and almost caused a foul by Boozer, Sloan, who couldn't bear it, replaced Ronnie Brewer and replaced him with Matt Ha. Prynne, at this time the Jazz are already more than [-] points behind the Sonics. It is really unbearable to fall behind so much before the end of the first quarter.

Halprin is a very tough guy who likes confrontation and closeness. Under his defense, Durant's scoring efficiency began to decline. At the same time, Deron Williams also strengthened his offensive aggression. At the end of the quarter, the Jazz narrowed the point difference to only eight points.

After the end of the field, Stephen discussed with Carlesimo the problems encountered in the application of the new tactics. Carlesimo's tactical quality is indeed very good, and he explained the questions raised by Stephen on the spot. For the Jazz The team has the characteristics of strong pick-and-roll defense ability, and can continue to play pick-and-rolls.

Because compared with pick-and-rolls, defending pick-and-rolls requires more physical and mental strength. Whether it is to follow up in advance or bypass the blocker, you need to further increase the speed, which will consume more physical strength, but Carlesimo Also according to the characteristics of the Jazz, the tactics have been refined a little bit.

And pointed out that at this time, Stephen should let Watson play more pick-and-rolls, and he should play singles or respond, because Deron Williams is bigger and taller than Watson, and he has to pay twice as much to catch up with Watson He has made great efforts, but his physical strength is not very good, this is a point that can be used.

Stephen was going to act according to Carlesimo's arrangement, but in the second quarter, I don't know what kind of consideration Sloan had, so he replaced Kirilenko, replaced Kyle Korver, and replaced Boozer was replaced by Paul Millsap.

Compared to Kirilenko, Kyle Korver's defense is like a big black hole. Stephen didn't think about what made Watson take more shots. He made a three-pointer, but it allowed Stephen to score eight points in a row. He came back and forth, and the net loss was five points. If Kirilenko was there, Stephen's scoring would definitely not be so easy.

Sloan instructed Matt Harprin to come over to defend Stephen, and Stephen immediately passed the ball to Durant. Durant also felt very good today. He hit two consecutive three-pointers to further expand the point difference. Waiting for Sloan After replacing Kirilenko, Carlesimo replaced Durant with Szczerbiak.

Carlesimo actually had the upper hand in the battle of wits between the two head coaches. This is because many people looked at him with new eyes. This guy who is going to be the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star really has two hands. The Sonics really want Xianyu to turn around.

You must know that the current record of the Supersonics is the second in the Western Conference. Many teams with aspirations for the championship have already started intelligence gathering in advance. The Supersonics have not been forgotten in the first place. Could it be said that this team should be included in the key list? no.
