Someone said that even if he dragged five random people off the bus, Jerry Sloan could lead them to the playoffs.

Although Jazz players may not like this sentence too much, it is indeed a recognition of Sloan's coaching ability.

Looking at the Jazz's starting lineup, Deron, Gordon Jirisek, Kirilenko, Boozer, and Okur, it is not difficult to find the style of Salt Lake City.

Over the years, except for DeLong in 2005, Salt Lake City has never received a star who is like a proud star.

Stockton was the 16th pick in 1984, and Malone was the 13th pick in 1985.

Now Boozer, Okur and others are second-round picks, and they are all "second-hand goods" acquired by Sloan.

Sloan doesn't need a superstar or a showtime like the Lakers, he just needs a group of team players who are willing to contribute.

Of course, this may also be the trigger for future conflicts between Deron and Sloan.

In fact, it's not just Deron. There are probably not many people on the Jazz who really enjoy playing under Sloan.

Last season, ESPN conducted an anonymous survey titled "Which coach are you most afraid of playing under?"

As a result, training madman Pat Riley and Sloan ranked in the top two.

After all, players in the new era are not like those in the 1990s.

What player doesn't want to be in the spotlight?

Sloan is famously strict and does not advocate personal heroism. He can play boring pick-and-rolls forever.

If you perform well, you will not be praised, but if you perform poorly, you will be scolded.

Indeed, not everyone can tolerate this kind of character from the older generation of coaches.

Malone once said: "After John and I retire... maybe no one will be willing to join this team."

In the future, social butterfly coaches represented by Coach Lu will be the mainstream of this league.

Therefore, after the game started, Wayne could immediately feel the hard-core style of Energy Solutions Arena.

On the first goal of the game, Gasol's layup was roughly defended by Okur.

Although Okur's defense is not that top-notch, he is definitely not as weak as imagined.

After all, I had been with the Pistons before and was somewhat influenced by it.

Moreover, Sloan's defense emphasizes fierce confrontation.

In the 1990s, although the Jazz did not win a championship, their ferocious defense did knock down the favorites one after another.

Boozer quickly grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Deron.

Deron advanced slowly with the ball, and Paoer was ready.

As soon as Deron approached the three-point line, he immediately accelerated to prepare for a breakthrough.

When Pao'er was about to retreat, he heard Wayne shout: "Cover with your back!"

The next second, Pao'er's back seemed to hit a solid wall.

Deron took the opportunity to sneak into the penalty area and successfully broke through!

As soon as he came up, Boozer and Deron played a classic back screen cooperation.

The so-called back screen can be summarized simply as setting up a screen in the blind area of ​​the defender's field of vision, such as the back.

Of course, there are many variations of back screens, and it may not always be a pick-and-roll from behind, but it can basically be understood simply this way.

Let’s not talk about Boozer’s character, but his skills are indeed very delicate. This season is exactly the peak season for this guy.

Although his mid-range shooting posture is a bit weird, it is accurate.

Therefore, Wayne did not go after Deron, but continued to stay by Boozer's side.

Just like that, Deron easily broke into the penalty area and made a layup.

Gaso?

Gasuo said that I also guarded a defender who pretended to be an inside defender today!

On the offensive end, Okur stands just outside the three-point line and can stand there all day.

In Wayne's previous life, Yao Mai's Mosaic was beaten to death in this way.

Yao Ming can't do anything with Okur, and he can't do anything with Boozer-Deron's pick-and-roll.

Then the Blazers attacked, and Pao'er was about to break through Delong, but Xiaopang quickly blocked the way.

Pao'er originally wanted to force his way through the barrier, but found... that he couldn't stand it!

Delong: Work hard, young man, work hard! It’s hard for me, brother!

Pao'er:Fxxk!

It’s so sad, you and Fei Dun are getting fatter each other, I really don’t know what kind of point guards you are playing!

Pao'er's confrontation ability is excellent among point guards, but he just can't do anything about De Pang.

At this time, Wayne leaned against Boozer and got into position.

Pao'er immediately handed the ball to the penalty area. At this time, you still have to look at Wei Ge!

After Wayne got the ball with his back, the pressure behind him immediately increased sharply.

Boozer tried hard to push Wayne out and prevent him from easily getting close to the basket.

Wayne originally wanted to use a turn-over jump shot to solve the problem, but then he thought, he was not just here to play basketball today!

Then, Wayne suddenly turned his back and broke through.

He used all the strength of his waist and abdomen to use his elbow and hit Boozer hard on the chest.

"Boom!"

Boozer felt as if his chest had been hit hard, and he almost couldn't breathe.

In this way, Wayne easily broke through Boozer. Facing Okur who was defending to the basket, Wayne was not afraid of confrontation and roughly forced a layup to score. Moreover, he also caused a foul on Okur, 2+1.

!

It’s so hard!

No way, who asked Stern to ask the referees to blow this game according to the standards of body hair whistles?

It was originally intended to prevent the two sides from fighting, but now it seems to have become a fast track for Wayne to gain points.

"Beautiful, Carlos' defensive pace is indeed not fast enough. This is his weakness!"

The on-site commentator believed that Wayne's breakthrough just now was purely due to his speed and dribbling skills.

After all, Boozer's defense, especially in terms of defensive breakthroughs, has never been outstanding.

It can only be said that he took things too superficially.

Is this a speed issue?

This is fatal!

Boozer rubbed his chest and suddenly wanted to go home...

Once Wayne decides to hit someone, there are many ways to do it.

"Did you defend seriously just now? Carlos." After the goal, Wayne did not forget to yell at Boozer, "If you can't do it, ask Coach Sloan to replace him with someone who can do it, so that people won't say I bullied someone."

Defend the colander.”

"Fuck..." Boozer was very angry, but no matter how angry he was, he could only step aside silently.

If you get hit again, you may really have to be carried down.

No, I have to find a way to give Wayne an elbow!

Although the Jazz fans booed, Wayne still made the free throw steadily and scored 2+1 from the start.

Pao'er was so happy that she took the initiative to high-five Wayne.

When he was bullied by Deron last season, he could only swallow his anger.

But now, Brother Wei is here to help him!

The game continued, and the Jazz's offense was still a strict position cover.

Deron once again took advantage of Boozer's cover to break through. Boozer did not forget to gently raise his elbow while covering the ball and hit the gun right in the face.

In fact, Boozer didn't intentionally hit him in the face with this shot.

But Pao'er's height of 183 cm is helpless...

This time, it was really Paoer who hit Boozer's elbow with his face.

At this time, Pao'er had not yet taken an acting training class, otherwise he would have to cover his face and act for ten minutes.

Deron broke through again, but this time, Wayne chose to defend.

So Deron didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Boozer.

Boozer's side-of-the-head shooting skills reappeared, but as soon as he threw the ball, he found that Wayne had come back in time.
