Chapter 298 Delong's apology to Sloan(1/2)

This dunk immediately silenced the entire audience.

They seemed to have seen the little fat man who had risked his life for Salt Lake City, but they seemed unable to distinguish him.

Because Deron in the past would never dunk like he does now.

But now, he dunked it!

And after the dunk landed, this quiet man on the court bowed his hands and let out a roar.

He has changed, for the better.

Maybe it's not just getting better.

Millsap's turnaround jump shot missed. Deron turned around and ran without the ball. He received a pass from Lin Ying and shot a three-pointer.

He looked extremely confident, with a light in his confident eyes.

"Whoa!"

And those who are capable and confident are invincible on the court!

Deron, another three-pointer!

He has already scored 10 points in this quarter!

This is already higher than his total score in the past few games!

The Jazz players were a little helpless at this time, because Deron's offensive methods are actually very versatile.

His pick-and-roll offense, drag-step changes of direction, and even without the ball are top-notch.

In the past, when he was in Utah, it was because Sloan restrained his desire to take shots, causing him to fall into a difficulty in choosing between scoring and passing.

This will be very obvious especially after breaking through to the basket.

But when he is determined to score, it is not that easy to stop him.

After the first quarter, the Nets led the Jazz 28-18.

Deron scored 16 points in a single quarter, his performance was quite eye-catching.

And there is one detail that is very gratifying.

When the second quarter started, Deron was resting off the court. He was chatting with his teammates and smiling from time to time!

This is in sharp contrast to the gloomy situation in the past.

Obviously, his performance in the first quarter allowed him to overcome the hurdle in his heart!

The Jazz's substitute group performed well, and the point difference was soon to be tied. Johnson had to replace the main players in advance.

As soon as Deron came up, he received an assist from Lin Ying and scored with an air-cut throw.

After resting off the court for a while, his condition has not diminished!

Then, Lin Ying's defensive end gave Ben Gordon another big block!

Deron scored another flying basket in the fast break!

Tonight, Delong and Lin Ying were on offense and defense, and they cooperated very well!

And as the state becomes more popular, Deron's drag step is used more and more frequently.

Many times the Jazz can only use fouls to prevent Deron from scoring.

Deron is unstoppable tonight.



108 to 98!

The Nets finally defeated the Jazz on the road.

Rather than the outcome of the game, what is more important is that Deron broke out completely in this game.

He made 16 of 29 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 21 of 21 free throws, scoring a career-high 57 points!

At the same time, this score also broke Durant's previous season high of 51 points in a single game!

Shock the Alliance!

As the scoring champion in the past two years, Durant has a high probability of retaining the scoring title this year. It is not surprising to score high points.

But Deron is not, even Deron had failed to score in double figures for three consecutive games before this!

And if you watch the live broadcast of the Nets and Jazz game, you will find a very interesting thing.

That is, as the game went deeper and deeper, the boos for Deron on the scene grew from loud to small, and in the end turned into sporadic cheers!

As Cole said in his previous commentary, fans are a warm-hearted group. Whether you do well or not, they will give you their truest emotions.

Deron's crazy performance allowed them to see a man who broke out under high pressure, and that was someone they deserved to cheer for.

In a true sense, it conquered the fans!

Maybe they will still boo the next time Deron returns to Utah, but at least tonight, Deron has earned their respect.

Deron's performance was extremely dazzling, but one person who cannot be ignored tonight is Lin Ying.

Lin Ying only took 8 shots and scored 13 points, but in addition to scoring, he also had 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks!

5X5!

Throughout NBA history, there are not many players who can do 5X5. The last one that fans were familiar with was former Jazz player "AK47" Kirilenko.

Kirilenko left the Jazz this season and joined the Timberwolves. Unexpectedly, Lin Ying would play at the Jazz's home court!

This game allows fans to see how terrifying Lin Ying's full defense can be!

Even looking back, I spent a whole season laying the foundation last season, and it was totally worth it!

Because a good body not only improves the foundation of offense, but also improves defense!



Deron did not appear at the post-game press conference.

It's not that he was pretending, but his knee had a reaction after the game and he had to ask the team doctor to massage and ice him in the infirmary.

He was extremely ashamed at this moment.

Because of him, Lin Ying has carried the team forward alone in the past few games.

No, it might be even harder.

Because Lin Ying not only has to take care of offense but also defense.

There is a saying called empathy. Many times people will only think from the bottom of their hearts after experiencing the same thing.

"How does it feel?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Ying came back from the press conference.

The team doctor also dealt with the situation at this time. He told Delong how long it took to take off the ice pack, and then went out to do his own thing.

"The team doctor said there is no big problem, but he didn't recommend that I break through like this."

Delong said with a wry smile.

Lin Ying nodded, the team doctor was right.

In fact, he came to see Delong, and there was some concern in it.

Why did Delong disappear "suddenly" in history?

The root cause is injury.

If one day you find that someone is playing very well but suddenly disappears from the league, there is no doubt that more than 90% of them are due to injuries.

It's just that there are too many players and even stars in the NBA, and it's difficult for the outside world to report on every one of them.

"Thank you, Lin, for saving me."

Now that there were only two of them in the infirmary, Delong had no worries and expressed his truest thoughts.

A combination of poor form at the start of the season, louder responsibilities from the outside, and pressure from Walken Dean all combined to make him lose his way.

Just like the emotion after being knocked down in the game, he really felt that he had fallen into an endless abyss, and there was darkness above his head.

If Lin Ying hadn't ripped open the hole and thrown down the rope, he didn't know how long he would have been sinking there.

"The person you should thank is yourself."

Lin Ying said calmly after sitting down.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. Similarly, if a person doesn't want to work hard, you can't pull him up no matter how hard you pull him up.

Delong smiled and looked at Lin Ying with a grateful look.

This is the truth, but most people in this world have too much time to take care of themselves, and no one except Lin Ying is willing to help him.

What's more, in a sense, he and Lin Ying still have a certain competitive relationship.

The two of them have not determined who is the "boss" of this team.
