Chapter 170 The Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz ushered in an opponent tonight, an opponent who defeated them, and this opponent has won countless strong teams in the past few days, which made Utah fans very nervous, fearing that they would be cut off by the opponent again.
For the evening game, the Chinese only arrived in Utah this afternoon, and then went directly to the Energy Arena, where there is a place where you can warm up directly.The Chinese team does not need to rent the arena anymore.
They just took two planes, and when Xing Tian and the others got off the plane, they were all refreshed. It seemed that the day's rest given by Zhang Reasonable made everyone relax.
"Old Xing, where did you go last night! You didn't come back!" Sun Dasheng asked meanly, holding Xing Tian in his arms.Thinking about it with a man's mind, he knew that Xing Tian would not come back last night.
"Of course I went out with the female ticket, hehe!" Xing Tian gave Sun Dasheng a blank look. He returned to the dormitory by himself last night, and Sun Dasheng and the others went out to play, so Xing Tian was very speechless.
"I really envy people who have girlfriends!" Zhu Laoba yawned. Last night, he had so much fun with Yao Ming that he fell asleep on the plane.The few of them booked a box at the bar and went crazy.
Xing Tian and the others had enough rest, but the coaching staff did not rest at all.The coaching staff felt that it was all luck to win the Jazz in November. After winning three strong teams, the confidence is enough.But Zhang Lili and the others also recognized their own strength.
If you want to win the Jazz today, you can only rely on hard work, and it is very normal if you can't win. After all, the Jazz Shuangsha is very powerful and can be said to be one of the greatest combinations in NBA history.
The Jazz slowly climbed up because the first few teams were hit.Now it has climbed to fourth in the West, but this is what the Jazz are most afraid of.
The Chinese have solved the Spurs, Rockets, and Lakers during this period of time.Except for the Warriors, the top four teams in the Western Conference have basically been shot down by the Chinese, so Jazz fans are very afraid of becoming one of them.The Chinese have become veritable giant killers.
So when the Chinese played, the Jazz fans were very quiet.The booing has decreased a lot. Everyone knows that the Chinese are a very emotional team. As long as they are stimulated, the Chinese can take down the Rockets in 3 quarters.Jazz fans don't want to lose so wrongly, so they chose to remain silent tonight.
Xing Tian was very surprised that the home court of Hell had become like this, Xing Tian was still a little happy in his heart.He used his own strength to win the respect of the fans, but he forgot that the Jazz's hell at home is not because of the fans, but the attitude of the Jazz players.Their dedication to victory and their character of not admitting defeat.
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming lost the jump ball to the mammoth Mark Eaton, which was very rare, but everyone was relieved.It's just that Xing Tian suffered disaster immediately, and Stockton shook the back of his head just as he took a step.
The players of the entire Chinese team were stunned. No one thought that the Jazz could play so fast, so they could only watch Stockton make a very simple three-step layup.This trick is usually used by oneself to deal with others, but today it was used by others.
"Old Xing, did you work too hard last night! Your legs are weak!" Sun Dasheng didn't care about the goal, but instead happily teased Xing Tian.Their emotions are very relaxed now, and they don't care about a small gain or loss at all.
"Aren't you also overworked?" It was true that Xing Tian went back a little late last night, but it was better than Sun Dasheng and the others didn't go back.Everyone is an adult so everyone has their own choices, how to play how to play during the holidays.
After Xing Tian controlled the ball for half court, he watched the entire lineup of the Jazz.In the last game, he won the game by splitting the Utah Shuangsha. This time Xing Tian still wants to replicate the victory of the previous game.All that needs to be done is to separate the Utah Shuangsha.
However, when Xing Tian made a breakthrough, he was flanked by his opponent. Xing Tian had no idea that Hayward and Stockton would double-team him immediately.
This is something Xing Tian has never encountered before. Not only did the basketball in his hand not pass out, it was also snatched by Stockton.This is the treatment of a superstar, and Xing Tian somehow enjoyed it.
Facing the opponent's fast break, the only Chinese team to defend was Zhu Laoba.But Xing Tian was intercepted by Stockton, and Zhu Laoba must also pay a certain amount of responsibility.He didn't even tell Xing Tian that his defender was gone.
There is only one final result of two-on-one, and that is that Zhu Laoba was tricked a lot.It is impossible for Stockton to give Zhu Laoba a chance to resist.As a qualified old point guard, he is very familiar with the use of fast break.
The 0:4 start made the Jazz fans very excited. The worries before the game were all gone, and the Chinese didn't show any particularly aggressive actions, which was completely normal.It seems that in today's game, the Jazz are very hopeful to defend their home court.
"Man, thank you very much, pull those guys off the horse!" Stockton squatted in front of Xingtian, his eyes kept looking at the basketball in Xingtian's hand, as if he was about to break Xingtian's basketball at any time.
Stockton is sincerely grateful to Xing Tian. He knows very well how difficult it is to win a game in the top four in the Western Conference. If his team wants to win, it must expose a lot of tactics, which is unacceptable to the Jazz.
"Yes, today we are giant killers! You have to be careful tonight!" Xing Tian looked at the other Jazz players from the corner of his eyes. Xing Tian would never want to be robbed by his opponent again. The feeling of being double-teamed is too uncomfortable up.
"We are not giants, we are soldiers from Salt Lake City, Utah!" Stockton hesitated for a moment, as if what Xing Tian said was right, and strong teams would not end well when they encountered Chinese, so Stockton didn't want to admit that It's those giant teams.
Xing Tian didn't talk to Stockton, and directly passed the ball to Yao Ming inside.Yao Ming raised his hand and carried the Jazz's defender into the inside line. He didn't make any moves, just relying on his height to force Eaton.
With a small hook, Yao Ming easily scored 2 points for the Chinese. After fighting O'Neal, Yao Ming became more confident. If it was before, Yao Ming would definitely use more small tricks to shake Eaton up.
Eaton looked at Yao Ming in surprise. The last time he played against this big guy, it was obvious that he was still very immature. He would not shoot many shots that could be shot, and he would only shoot when he was fully sure.
At the end of the first quarter, the Utah fans realized that they were optimistic. The Chinese were very strong. Even if they had scored 20-20 at the start, the Chinese still caught up at the end. The two teams played against each other. A [-]:[-] tie.
The Jazz players were also a little surprised. They didn't expect the Chinese to walk around outside, and their strength changed so much.Ma Long, in particular, found that the Green Arrow United did not have a trace of fear of him.Last time this guy was still a little afraid of himself, but now he is not afraid of himself at all, and holds himself firmly every time.
In the second quarter, the Chinese stepped up their offensive rhythm, especially when Xing Tian also participated. Stockton was caught off guard, and Xing Tian directly rushed into the inside line. When the two sides entered the locker room, the Utah fans began to cry.
26:20 points in a single quarter, if the Jazz is leading, everyone can accept it, but the Chinese are leading instead. In this way, the Chinese lead the Jazz by 6 points in the last half.
The explosive ability of the Chinese in such a strong fight is based on Xing Tian. Only after the fight with the Lakers, Xing Tian dared to show his scoring ability, so the Jazz suffered from Xing Tian.I didn't expect how determined Xing Tian would be. You must know that Xing Tian scored only a few points when he played against them.
The Jazz had to react in the second half. You must know that the Chinese have always been very good at playing the late team, and they are also very good at maintaining the advantage of the score.Therefore, if the Jazz want to defend their hell home court, they must show their strength.
The Chinese players also felt that there was no suspense in winning this game, and one by one in the locker room began to chat about the interesting things that happened last night.
It was too difficult for Stockton to guard against Xing Tian. The height gap between the two was too large, and Xing Tian could score unscrupulously in front of Stockton.Moreover, winning the game boosted the confidence of the Chinese, and made their shots much firmer.
Sun Dasheng also broke the news that Zhu Laoba was raped by a blond, blue-eyed and beautiful girl, but Zhu Laoba was not a bird. .
But in the third quarter, the proud Chinese were beaten 10-0 by the Jazz, and directly announced the result of the game. The Jazz Shuangsha also showed their absolute strength, and immediately stunned the Chinese. .
This time, Stockton not only excelled at the ground pass he is good at, but also developed a high-profile ball after the pick-and-roll that stunned Xing Tian. This alone made Xing Tian very convinced.
"Soldiers will defend their home court!" When Stockton left, he hugged Xing Tian and said lightly. In order to win the Chinese, Stockton also took out the moves he had just learned.
"Don't your army invade Staples, you won't receive failure!" Xing Tian also teased, the Jazz have lost 2 games in the Jazz, it can be said that the Jazz hate playing at Staples the most.
This game did not affect the mentality of the Chinese. After winning the Houston incident, the whole Chinese seemed to have changed in quality and developed towards a better place. Even Sun Dasheng consciously gave himself extra training during training.
Sun Dasheng, who is usually only able to complete his own tasks, is tired, but now he can intuitively increase training for himself. It can be said that winning has changed their mentality, and they just want to keep winning like this.
