The air in the Energy Solution Arena is filled with solemnity.

After looking at the Jazz's starting players, Deron, CJ Myers, Kirilianko, Boozer and Oku, they were all ready to go.

Today, the Clippers' starting lineup became Rose, Leon, James Jones, Dior and Jordan Jr.

The lack of Duncan in the key No. 5 position still has a great impact on the Clippers' strength.

Li Ang was gradually influenced by this atmosphere and became particularly serious.

After the game began, Jordan Jr. won the first shot for the Clippers.

As soon as Li Ang came up to offer, he felt the defensive intensity of the Iron Blood Jazz today.

Under the leadership of Sloan, the Jazz's strength is not as strong as in the 1990s, but their iron-blooded temperament is indeed there.

Their defense was very fierce. Kirilianko opened his arms and looked in front of Li Ang, making Li Ang feel like he had nowhere to escape.

CJ Myers waited for an opportunity to double-team Li Ang.

Seeing that Li Ang was entangled, Ross wanted to help Li Ang share the pressure.

But Rose's matchup is not simple. At his peak, Deron Williams was a person who even Paul, who was unpredictable in the point guard, was afraid of three points.

Ross accelerated and broke through, but because Deron took two steps in advance, Ross' speed advantage was not able to be used.

The two collided, and Deron's strong body was not at all inferior to Ross when he fought.

It should be said that Ross, who is still young in the first grade, is still young. Many people talk about it all at once, and Ross will get an MVP in the third grade and will be at its peak when he debuts.

But in fact, Ross did not reach his peak when he debuted. He also had a growth process, but he grew up faster than others.

Rose's scoring methods were limited during this period and his ability to read games was not yet mature.

Once the breakthrough is blocked, it will be very uncomfortable to fight.

Deron held back Ross, and Ross had to give the ball to James Jones.

Jones made a three-pointer, but the frame popped out under the interference of Miles.

Jones's shooting is OK for a large open spot, but if he is disturbed, his shooting percentage will plummetly.

Li Ang shook away the hand that Kirilenko had grabbed on his clothes and hurriedly assisted in defense.

Sloan was clenching his fists at this time. The reason why he was confident in defeating the Clippers today was because of the Jazz's offense. Now, it is the time to practice the plan!

As we all know, Rose is a hard-working player in defensive pick-and-roll, but the Jazz are the pick-and-roll that they are the pick-and-roll!

Sure enough, as soon as Deron was in place, Boozer stepped forward to cover.

After Deron borrowed a pick-and-roll, Dior hesitated whether to switch defenses, because Boozer's offense poses a great threat and has a long range.

Dior's hesitation gave Deron a shot opportunity.

Delong made a quick stop and a mid-range shot, and the Utah Jazz knocked the Clippers' defense with their pick-and-roll that had not changed for more than ten years!

Li Ang curled his lips. The Jazz's pick-and-roll was like long legs in stockings, and it just hit Rose's pain point.

Rose:???

It’s obviously your favorite, but why did you still rely on me?

In the next round, Kirilianko was still fighting with Li Ang to the end.

During this period, Kirilenko had passed his brief peak due to injuries and age, but there was still oil in the fuel tank.

And because he is tall and has long arms, he can block the passing route very well.

Li Ang had no choice but to get rid of him by running without a ball for a long distance.

Finally, Li Ang received the basketball from the middle distance on the right side of the court and then took action directly.

Kirilenko quickly caught up and stretched out his long arms to interfere with Li Ang.

But because Li Ang leaned back slightly in the air, he still avoided the cover of Kirilenko.

Basketball fell into the net, and Li Ang successfully responded to Jazz, 2-2!

Kirilenko's defense was completely unobstructed, and the interference just now was quite severe.

But for Li Ang, from a super giant, he is not unable to score goals under interference.

Li Ang successfully tied the score, but Sloan was not worried.

To put it bluntly, the Jazz’s defensive ideas today are the ideas they thought against Jordan back then!

Everyone knows that Jordan cannot be defended, but the Jazz still relies on rough defensive actions to consume Jordan, making him uncomfortable in playing every moment.

Yes, both Jordan and Li Ang are in physical condition.

But no matter how hard you are, you will be tired in the end, right? As long as you are tired, it will eventually affect its stability, right?

The game continued, Deron continued to pick-and-roll with Boozer. This time Dior chose to play Deron, but Deron threw the ball to Boozer in the crack. The latter hit a steadily mid-range and scored another 2 points.

The Jazz once again scored successfully in an extremely classical way. They were like a machine, without emotions, without variables, but they were extremely stable.

Don't forget that Sloan won thousands of games with this boring pick-and-roll.

In the subsequent games, the Jazz kept asking for their offensive end with a steady pick-and-roll. Under the Jazz's iron-blooded defense, Li Ang no longer had his offense as he pleased.

It's not just that it's no longer as simple as you want, but Li Ang's attack in the first quarter was even a bit ugly.

As we all know, Li Ang and Kobe have always been representatives of art classes in the league. After all, they will always make some picturesque operations.

But today against the Jazz, Li Ang couldn't use his picturesque tricks.

There is no elegant shooting, no handsome backwards. There is only endless hand-to-hand combat, get rid of, catch shots, hold the ball and strong shots, etc.

No one can perform gorgeous shows in Salt Lake City, and killing gorgeous shows is the Jazz favorite thing to do.

The Jazz are like an Eastern team in the West, who believe in muscle confrontation and disdain for gorgeous performances.

They never care about the scene, they only care about victory.

After the first quarter, the two sides tied 21-27, and the Clippers fell 6 points behind in the first quarter!

The fans of Salt Lake City cheered and after being a background board for so many years, this time I finally had a chance to turn things around.

The realm of Salt Lake City, even if you want to save your soul at night, you may not find a place to save it.

Nights in Salt Lake City may be the most boring thing in all, and when night falls, the Energy Program Arena may be the only place where people can vent their extra energy.

Therefore, the fans of the Energy Program Arena are always energetic, which also creates this devil's home court.

The deafening shouts and ugly hand-to-hand combat were 6 points behind in the first quarter.

The Utah Jazz was more difficult than Leon thought.

After the second quarter started, Li Ang also tried to help Rose repair Delong.

But Delong's ability to seize the gap is too strong. He can always pass the ball to his teammates in the open in time when Li Ang approaches.

That's right, he always waits for Li Ang to approach before passing, so Li Ang doesn't even have the chance to make up for it.

Archimedes said that if you give the lever to a keyboard, they can pry the earth.

If you give Lao He a picture, he can write a chapter of novels for you.

And give Delong a crack and he can complete the assist.

As the Jazz's offensive driver, Deron can pass the ball to his teammates who have the chance with his eyes closed. He has already played this system well.

Seeing that the defensive problem could not be solved, Lu Zi was originally planning to use his second move: "Leave the opponent's damn core to Li Ang!"

Well, no matter whether it is offense, defense or fighting, it is absolutely right to leave it to Li Ang.

But considering that the Jazz's defense is very strong today, if they ask Li Ang to defend Delong, they really treat Li Ang as a bully.

Old oxen do not bring them to plow the land like this.

There is no way, the Clippers can only let James Jones try it.

Although Jones is not good at defense, he wins with fighting spirit and has richer experience than Ross.

Maybe you can really restrain the jazz?

However, after James Jones changed defense, Deron stopped playing the pick-and-roll.

Deron chose to play Jones directly with one-on-one!

Jones' defense was tightly attached, Dirk accelerated to the left and Jones followed. But as soon as he moved the center of gravity, Deron followed with another continuous change of direction!

Deron's change direction is the same as Ross, and he can change direction without slowing down while moving. Although Deron's speed is not as fast as Ross, Deron's change direction has a larger arc and a better rhythm.

A iconic double change, Deron broke through Jones, broke into the penalty area and made a throw shot, and the basketball hit a steadily.

The Clippers still failed to limit Delong!

Only Rose can keep up with Deron's speed.

But when the Clippers used Rose to defend Deron, Deron played a pick-and-roll that remained unchanged for thousands of years!

You'll be so angry that you'll be so angry!

Lu Zi was convinced. Senior Sloan, like me, was a person with only one tactic on the tactical board.
