Chapter 225 The Bravest Loser
Gao Tian dribbled the ball slowly outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing. Although he seemed to be very loose at this time, he was always paying attention to Matt Harprin in front of him. This 30-year-old white man " Old man", although he is not very old, standing in front of Gao Tian does look very old, compared with the young Gao Tian.
Logically speaking, he should not be the one to defend Gao Tian. This is obviously a misplacement. Even though his height is one of the most suitable players to defend Gao Tian Jazz, but his athletic ability is not very good, he will definitely be overwhelmed by Gao Tian. Yes, but the current embarrassing situation for the Jazz is that the team can't find a player who can defend Gao Tian. Kirilenko made four early fouls, and now it's only the beginning of the fourth quarter. Obviously he can't play, but he can Try to defend Gao Tian, and there are only the team's rookie Paul Millsap and the old guy Matt Harprin.
It is obviously impossible for a rookie to defend Gao Tian. No matter how good his physical condition is, he will be played to the point of losing confidence. Although that person is also a rookie, no one will regard him as a rookie, because it is so despised by him. Everyone was humiliated by him.
He is a devil who is good at playing tricks on people's hearts!
This is an evaluation of him by an NBA star, and it is also an evaluation widely recognized by many players and coaches in the league. Gao Tianqiang is strong because his grasp of people's hearts is really terrible. There may be no other in this league. People can destroy the opponent's psychological defense more effectively than him, so Harprin dare not relax for a moment, he is afraid that he will be humiliated by this rookie, and he is not willing to be humiliated like this again when he is about to retire.
After Gao Tian made two consecutive crotch disguises, he directly withdrew to the three-point line and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer. This is his No. 30 point in the game. This three-pointer that ignores defense is also Helping the Suns re-extend their lead to 3 points. Seeing that the game was less than [-] minutes later, the Jazz were very confused by Gao Tian's consecutive scoring. Jerry Sloan looked very ugly, but after he got angry, he sighed secretly, He has tried many methods, but none of them can defend Gao Tian alone and suppress his scoring efficiency to a satisfactory level. It is really too difficult.
But Kirilenko, whom he had always hoped to stand out, was just a normal Kirilenko. It was impossible for such a Kirilenko to be guarded against Gao Tian, and there was no hope at all.
What he wanted was Kirilenko who could limit Gao Tian to being unable to catch the ball in last year's game. Although it was only a flash in the pan, deep down in his heart he still hoped that Kirilenko could suddenly awaken again, find that state, and then Lead the Jazz to the Finals!
But he has been waiting for half a year, and Kirilenko has not changed until now. Although he could have expected this result a long time ago, he is still a little disappointed, but he is not an indecisive person, since he has no surprises Then only the most primitive method can be used.
"Teaming? Coach, this...isn't reasonable, we haven't lost yet!"
Everyone was shocked to hear Jerry Sloan's order during the timeout. Deron Williams was the first to stand up and express his objection. They didn't understand why they had to double-team before they reached the most desperate time. That rookie, as long as they double-team, they will inevitably miss a person from the Suns. With the passing speed of the Suns, it only takes a moment for the ball to reach the open player.
And looking at the Suns lineup in front of them, they really don't know which player can be released by them. They all have the ability to shoot open shots. Doing so is tantamount to digging their own grave!
"This is the best way!"
Jerry Sloan glanced around with a serious face and said in a harsh voice: "Otherwise we will be beaten to death by him alone like the Spurs."
Everyone was silent when they heard Jerry Sloan's words. Even Deron Williams, who had always been brooding, opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Indeed, they are not fools. They have seen the sun Everyone who played against the Spurs in the last two games of the series knows how terrifying Gao Tian's scoring ability is, especially at critical moments. He is definitely the strongest player in the league!
And now it is almost time for the final decisive battle. It is a fantasy to let Kirilenko, the fourth criminal, and the aging Harprin guard Gao Tian. There is indeed only one way. It's double-teaming.
Although I really don't want to admit that they can't defend Gao Tian, there is nothing they can do. They really can't. The Jazz players are a little embarrassed by Tian Tian's remarks, but there is nothing to be shy about when this is the case, and they can't take care of so much.
"Remember, double-team in advance, as long as he passes halftime, then you have to double-team to force him to pass the ball and pester him all the time, not giving him a chance to catch the ball!"
Listening to Jerry Sloan's instructions, the Jazz players nodded vigorously. No one saw the ease of the previous few days. This game is very important and absolutely cannot be lost!
D'Antoni looked at the Jazz players who ignored the other vacant Suns players, and instead chose to guard against Gao Tian. He moved his fingers slightly, and the smile on his face seemed to be even brighter. Finally, when the old fox Jerry Sloan was fooled up.
Although the Suns player's hand feeling is not very good, the point difference is almost tied by the Jazz's continuous pursuit of points without Gao Tian scoring, but D'Antoni is not worried at all, as long as you dare to shoot, there will always be such a hand feeling , He is very confident in the Suns players' open three-point ability, which is the result of hard work.
Finally, with 4 minutes left in the game, Nash hit an open three-pointer. Although the Jazz's rotation was fast, "Old Fish" Fisher quickly ran in front of Nash and wanted to jump up to block Nash. It's a pity that he didn't interfere with Nash's shooting, and the goal went in!
"Sir is in danger."
Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed, and Barkley next to him also agreed with his face. It is obvious that the Jazz's strategy seems to be failing, although they have already tied the Suns so far, otherwise they would not even have Nash's three-pointer. They lead by three points, but now they are indeed in danger. With the support of his teammates, will Gao Tian be liberated?
His teammates and he had to liberate one. Jerry Sloan chose the rest of the Suns, but now the rest of the Suns can indeed use their three-pointers and breakthroughs to slowly tilt the balance of the game to the Suns. .
Willing to gamble to lose.
Jerry Sloan sighed slightly, looked at the bright red number of 118:102, shook his head, politely blessed everyone in the Suns, and then left the center of the court. He is the head coach, and of course he is responsible for the failure.
Everyone has his own choice. Since he has made a choice, he must bear the consequences for failure. He knew this truth on the first day as the head coach.
