Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight
Chapter 542 541: The king will only conquer Salt Lake City (please vote for me!)
The Utah Jazz are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference, only one game ahead of the seventh-place Warriors.
But this does not mean that the Jazz have no fighting capacity. They fell to sixth in the Western Conference. Firstly, it is because there are too many strong teams in the Midwest in this history.
The top five teams are not to mention the Los Angeles Double Volume Team. The Hornets have peak Paul, Lewis, Boxing Champion, and David West. The Nuggets have improved their record a lot after adding Dogte. They even won the last game. Clippers.
On the Mavericks side, Dirk + Kidd + Pierce, although their exposure this season is average, has a very solid record and has never fallen out of the top five in the Western Conference.
These five teams firmly occupy the top five seats, and it will be difficult for anyone to squeeze in. Moreover, Boozer was injured for dozens of games in the middle of the season, and the Jazz's record declined severely during that time.
In this way, it is actually not easy for the Jazz to maintain sixth place under the pursuit and interception of the Warriors.
Since Boozer's return, the Jazz have won six games in a row.
It can be seen that if Boozer is not injured, the Jazz will not have no chance of reaching the top five.
If there is no pressure, there will be no motivation. Why does a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly start working out? Because his family has entered the age where they have sex three times a day. If you don't exercise, you really can't stand it.
Why are the Jazz so aggressive after Boozer's return? Because if they lose one more place, they will have to play the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. If you don’t work hard, you really can’t stand it.
A round trip out of the playoffs, sometimes it would be better not to make the playoffs.
If they don't make the playoffs, they can at least get a lottery pick. Made it to the playoffs but missed the first round, couldn't participate in the lottery, and had to be scolded.
Therefore, the Jazz must do their best to maintain the sixth position.
There may not be a win against the Lakers in the best-of-seven series, but there is still a possibility of beating the Clippers in one regular season game, and it's very high!
Especially in the last game, Duncan and Barnes were sent off, which is definitely good news for the Jazz.
If Duncan and Barnes are additionally suspended, then when the two sides play against each other, the Jazz will face the remnant Clippers!
There is a hole in this pussy, and you may become more and more excited the more you fuck it. But the ship has a hole in it, can it still sail?
The Jazz feel that this is simply an opportunity given by God!
The Jazz feel that God wants Paul to travel in the first round!
On the other side, the Clippers have received notices of suspensions from the league against Duncan and Barnes.
Duncan and Barnes were each suspended for five games, which means their regular season is over.
The next time they play again, it will be in the playoffs.
Barnes looked indifferent. He was even a little smug about being suspended for five games.
Fighting without being banned would be a sacrilege to his job!
But Duncan felt that he was very unlucky. I was really pushed down. How did I know that I would just hit the dog on the head with my elbow.
Goute is destined to suffer a bloody disaster, and it has nothing to do with me!
I'm going to be suspended for five games just for smiling? This has never happened in any dynasty or generation!
Now that I'm suspended, I can't be considered a hitter.
In Duncan's eyes, he was suspended for laughing. But in the eyes of others, he is just a hitter.
Even Li Ang is lying on his back. Many reports today say that those who are really close to red will be red and those who are close to ink will be black. Even an honest man like Duncan was led astray by Li Ang. Do you dare to ask who else on the Clippers team is not very good at playing?
Rondo: Add one more, I’m not very good at playing.
Li Ang feels that he is even more unjust. As a good player who has not been suspended and has always behaved himself, how can you frame a good person out of thin air?
You know me, if it were me, I would beat the shit out of you!
It would be better if Duncan was really instigated by Li Ang to fight Gout. After all, in this "rewarding good and punishing evil" system, you can also get rewards for instigating teammates to fight.
Now that I haven't received the reward, I'm still being accused of leading Duncan to evil.
Does Duncan need to be a bad guy? Does anyone really think that Dumb is a serious person?
There is no way, no matter how serious the injustice is, the Clippers can only accept the outcome of Duncan and Barnes being suspended for five games.
Now, the world knows that the Clippers have a chance to tie Danzi's 72-win record. At this time, the matter of players being suspended came up again.
In the next five games without Barnes and Duncan, whether Lyon can tie 72 wins again has become a major attraction in the final stage of the regular season.
Of course, Stern also knew that Li Ang could once again tie the 72-win record. Because of this, he also thought about it for a while, thinking about whether to be more lenient in suspending Duncan and Barnes to help Li Ang.
But in the end he decided to ban Duncan and Barnes for five games.
Although tying 72 wins again can make Li Ang even more legendary.
But doing it again would also weaken Jordan's legend. 72 wins three times, 72 wins will seem less valuable.
If Li Ang can still win 72 games in a single season even though the team lacks two starters, then considering Li Ang's ability, it will make his 72 wins even more valuable.
In short, Stern's subjective progress does not support Leon's 72 wins. But if Li Ang really has the ability to take it, Stern won't be disgusted.
Anyway, it’s time to be banned, and the rest depends on Li Ang’s own destiny.
After Duncan and Barnes were suspended, sure enough, the whole world was discussing whether Lyon still had a chance to win 72 games.
Although Li Ang had already achieved 72 wins in the 2004-05 season, the best he could do was tie with Jordan.
If Li Ang can win 72 more games, he will surpass Jordan!
The meanings of these two things are completely different, just like the difference between rubbing in and going in.
As the head coach of the Nuggets who just defeated the Clippers, George Karl insisted in an interview: "72 wins? This is simply impossible. I still have the same view, don't overestimate the Clippers."
George Karl is very high-spirited now. Defeating the Clippers in the last game gave him great confidence and made him feel like he was on his feet again.
As a result, this old man now looks at everyone except his own team as if they are a fake strong team.
George Karl, an old pervert, will kill anyone who confronts him.
In the original history, Anthony was at the end of his career, and George Karl didn't let him go either.
Iguodala was called a traitor by George Karl because he refused to intentionally injure Curry.
This guy, to put it nicely, is just a petty person.
Now that he has finally defeated Li Ang once, George Karl should not seize the opportunity to commit suicide.
Of course, pure sunspots like George Karl are only a minority after all.
Most people are actually optimistic that Li Ang will lead the team to win 72 games for the second time.
The Clippers' next five opponents are the Jazz, Timberwolves, Kings, Trail Blazers and Wizards.
Of the five teams, four are lottery teams.
Therefore, the key to winning 72 games lies in the battle in Salt Lake City.
As long as the Salt Lake City Clippers can ensure that they don't run aground, then 72 wins will be within their reach.
It's just that Salt Lake City has always been difficult to capture.
Just like that, April 7, Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
It's been a long time since this place was so lively.
Although the Jazz have risen under the leadership of Deron and Boozer, coach Sloan's UCLA pick-and-roll really made the game too dull. Therefore, the ratings of Jazz games have always been low, and the attendance is average.
But today, Energy Solutions Arena seems to be back in the 1990s. Outside the arena, broadcast trucks were parked, and reporters swarmed in.
People always say that the Spurs are the best backdrop in the NBA, but in fact the Jazz are not bad in this regard.
They witnessed Jordan's legendary last shot in the 1998 Finals. In the original history, we also witnessed Kobe's 60-point retirement night.
Today, the Jazz are likely to watch Li Ang reach the peak of 72 wins for the second time.
Of course everyone on the Jazz team doesn't want to be the backdrop, and Jerry Sloan was also very serious before the game.
"I don't care who comes, but Salt Lake City is definitely not a place for them to act recklessly! We are not just fighting for rankings, but also fighting for our dignity!"
In fact, even if Coach Sloan doesn't give him chicken soup, everyone on the Jazz team is already very excited.
Who doesn’t want to personally end Li Ang’s dream of 72 wins?
On the other side, Duncan and Barnes blame themselves very much.
Duncan blamed himself for smiling so obscenely during this crucial battle that he could only sit on the sidelines.
What the hell is this!
The NBA’s slogan Where amazing happens is indeed true.
In the NBA, anything outrageous can happen~
Barnes blamed himself because today's Bogut injury report showed that he beat Bogut for half a day, but the biggest injury Bogut suffered was caused by Duncan.
Barnes felt that his business ability had failed Leon's expectations again, so he blamed himself.
But Li Ang doesn't blame Duncan and Barnes, dogs must be beaten at any time, and they can't do it without fighting!
Although the Clippers are playing with a broken team today, Li Ang feels that he can handle it if he works hard.
Forty minutes later, the starters from both sides took their places on the court, and the game was about to begin.
Li Ang found that the atmosphere of this game was much more serious than he expected.
The air in the Energy Solutions Arena was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Looking at the Jazz's starting lineup again, Deron, CJ Miles, Kirilenko, Boozer and Okur are all gearing up.
Today, the Clippers' starting lineup has become Rose, Leon, James Jones, Diaw and DeAndre Jordan.
The lack of Duncan at the key fifth position still has a great impact on the Clippers' strength.
Li Ang was gradually affected by this atmosphere and became extremely serious.
After the game started, Jordan won the first offensive ball for the Clippers.
As soon as Li Ang came to pay his respects, he felt the intensity of the Jagged Jazz's defense today.
Under the leadership of Sloan, the Jazz's strength is not as good as it was in the 1990s, but the iron-blooded temperament is still there.
Their defense was very fierce. Kirilenko opened his arms and covered Li Ang so hard that Li Ang felt like he had nowhere to escape.
CJ Miles was waiting 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 easy either. Deron Williams at his peak was a figure who even the unpredictable point guard Paul was afraid of three-pointers.
Rose accelerated and made a strong breakthrough, but because Deron took two steps ahead of time, Rose's speed advantage could not be used.
The two collided with each other, and Deron's strong body was not at all inferior to Rose.
It should be said that Rose is still young in the first grade. Many people have always talked about how Rose won the MVP in the third grade and was at the peak of his debut.
But in fact, Rose 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 are limited during this period, and his ability to read the game is also immature.
Once the breakthrough is blocked, it will be very uncomfortable.
Deron held Rose, and Rose had to give the ball to James Jones.
Jones shot a three-pointer, but it bounced out due to interference from Myers.
It's okay for Jones to shoot wide open shots, but whenever he's interfered with, his shooting percentage will plummet.
Li Ang shook off Kirilenko's hand on his clothes and hurried to help defend.
Sloan clenched his fists at this time. The reason why he was confident of defeating the Clippers today was because of the Jazz's offense. And now, it’s time to put the plan into practice!
As we all know, Rose is a tough player at defending pick-and-rolls, but the Jazz are best at playing pick-and-rolls!
Sure enough, as soon as Deron was in position, Boozer stepped forward to cover.
After Deron used the pick-and-roll, Diaw hesitated whether to change defense, because Boozer also had a great offensive threat and a long range.
Diaw's hesitation gave Deron a shooting opportunity.
Deron made a sudden stop and hit the mid-range shot steadily. The Utah Jazz used their pick-and-roll that has not changed for more than ten years to knock down the Clippers' defense!
Li Ang curled his lips. The Jazz's pick-and-roll was like stockings with long legs. It hit Rose's pain point just right.
Ross:? ? ?
You obviously like it yourself, why are you still blaming me?
In the next round, Kirilenko still fought hand-to-hand with Li Ang to the end.
During this period, Kirilenko had passed his brief peak period due to injuries and age, but there was still gas in the tank.
And because he is tall and has long arms, he can block passing lanes well.
Li Ang had no choice but to get rid of him through long-distance running without the ball.
In the end, Li Ang caught the basketball in the middle distance on the right side of the court and took a shot directly.
Kirilenko caught up quickly and stretched his long arms to interfere with Li Ang.
But because Li Ang leaned back slightly in the air, he still avoided Kirilenko's block.
The basketball fell into the net, and Li Ang successfully responded to the Jazz, 2 to 2!
Kirilenko's defense was impeccable, and the interference just now was quite severe.
It's just that for a super giant like Li Ang, it's not impossible to score goals under interference.
Li Ang successfully equalized the score, but Sloan was not worried.
The Jazz's defensive thinking today is, to put it bluntly, the same way it used to deal with Jordan back then!
Everyone knows that Jordan cannot be defended, but the Jazz will still rely on rough defensive actions to consume Jordan, making him uncomfortable every moment.
Yes, Jordan and Li Ang are both physical monsters.
But no matter how physical you are, you will eventually get tired, right? As long as it gets tired, it will eventually affect its stability, right?
The game continued, Deron continued to pick and roll with Boozer, this time Diaw chose to attack Deron, and the result was that Deron passed the ball to Boozer in the gap, and the latter made a steady hit from the mid-range and won again. 2 points down.
The Jazz once again successfully scored in an extremely classical way. They were like a machine, without emotions or variables, but they were extremely stable.
Don't forget, Sloan won thousands of games by relying on this boring pick-and-roll.
In the following games, the Jazz relied on solid pick-and-rolls to get everything they wanted on the offensive end. Under the iron-blooded defense of the Jazz, Li Ang no longer attacks as he pleases.
It's not just as simple as no longer doing whatever you want, Li Ang's offense in the first quarter was even a little ugly.
As we all know, Li Ang and Kobe have always been the art class representatives of the league. After all, they can perform some picturesque operations at every turn.
But today against the Jazz, Li Ang couldn't use his picturesque tricks at all.
There are no elegant shots, no handsome fadeaways. Some are just endless physical fights, getting rid of, catching and shooting, holding the ball and making strong shots, etc.
No one can put on a flashy show in Salt Lake City, and killing flashy shows is the Jazz's favorite thing to do.
The Jazz are like an Eastern team in the Western Conference. They believe in muscular confrontation and disdain flashy performances.
They never care about the scene, only about winning.
After the first quarter, the two sides tied 21 to 27, and the Clippers fell behind by 6 points in the first quarter!
The fans in Salt Lake City cheered for joy. After being the backdrop for so many years, they finally had a chance to turn around this time.
In a place like Salt Lake City, even if you want to save souls at night, you may not be able to find a place to do so.
Nights in Salt Lake City may be the most boring in the country. When night falls, Energy Solutions Arena may be the only place where people here can vent their excess energy.
Therefore, the fans at Energy Solution Arena are always full of energy, which also creates this devil’s home stadium.
Deafening shouts, ugly hand-to-hand battles, falling behind by 6 points in the first quarter.
The Utah Jazz are more difficult than Li Ang imagined.
After the second quarter started, Li Ang also tried to help Rose defend Deron.
But Deron's ability to seize gaps is so strong that he can always pass the ball to his teammates in the open space in time when Li Ang is approaching.
That's right, he always waits for Li Ang to get closer before passing the ball, so Li Ang doesn't even have a chance to make up for it.
Archimedes said that if you give a keyboard to a barbarian, they can move the earth.
Give Laohe a picture and he can make up a chapter of a novel for you.
And give Deron a gap, and he can complete the assist.
As the offensive driver of this Jazz, Deron can pass the ball to teammates who have opportunities with his eyes closed. He is already familiar with this system.
Seeing that this defensive problem could not be solved, Lu Zi was originally preparing to use his second big move: "Give the opponent's damn core to Li Ang!"
Well, anyway, whether it's offense, defense or fighting, it's definitely right to leave it to Li Ang.
But considering that the Jazz's defense is very strong today, if Li Ang is asked to defend Deron, he is really treating Li Ang as a bully.
Even Lao Niu plows the land like this.
There is no other way, the Clippers can only let James Jones try.
Although Jones is not good at defense, he is better because he is full of hard work and has more experience than Rose.
Maybe he can really restrain the Jazz?
However, after James Jones switched defense, Deron stopped playing pick-and-roll.
Deron chose to fight Jones directly one-on-one!
Jones' defense was very tight, Dirk accelerated to the left and broke through, and Jones followed up. But as soon as he moved his center of gravity, Deron made another continuous change of direction!
Deron's change of direction is the same as Rose's. He can change direction without slowing down while traveling. Although Deron is not as fast as Rose, Deron has a wider arc and a better rhythm.
In a trademark double change of direction, Deron broke through Jones, broke into the penalty area, threw a shot, and hit the basketball steadily.
The Clippers still failed to restrict Deron!
Only Rose can keep up with Deron's speed.
But when the Clippers returned to Rose to defend Deron, Deron and Boozer started a pick-and-roll that has never changed!
I'll make you mad!
Lu Zi is convinced. Senior Sloan, like me, is a person with only one tactic on the tactical board.
Rounding it all off, I am on the same level as Qian Sheng coach Sloan!
Now, Lu Zi can be said to have no choice at all.
Only by letting Li Ang defend Deron can the Jazz's offense be contained.
However, Sloan hopes the Clippers will use Li Ang to defend Deron.
Li Ang does have the ability to guard against Deron, but he cannot guard against Deron's pass.
Moreover, if Li Ang defends Deron, it will definitely make Li Ang's consumption even greater.
This is exactly what Sloan wants to see.
The playoffs are approaching, do the Clippers really dare to consume Li Ang like this?
In the second quarter, under the Jazz's physical defense, it was still not easy for Li Ang to score.
Deron's outstanding performance made the Jazz's offense in full swing.
After half the game, the fans in Salt Lake City raised their arms and cheered.
They couldn't believe that the Jazz actually led the Clippers by 11 points at halftime!
"This is the tough, iron-blooded Utah Jazz, and this is the Energy Solution Arena that is difficult to conquer! It's not that easy for Li Ang to knock on the door of 72 wins in a single season here!"
Leading by 11 points at halftime, the Jazz's performance not only made Salt Lake City fans cheer, but also fans all over the world.
What a bullshit emperor, wasn’t he also beaten to the pulp in Salt Lake City! If the Jazz win this game, Li Ang will surely fall from the throne!
George Karl was even smiling from ear to ear. If the Clippers lose to the Jazz, who are sixth in the Western Conference, it will prove once again that they are just a pseudo-strong team that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Only half of the game was played, but the situation at this time was already very, very dangerous.
Director Lu was very anxious at this time and didn't know what to do.
Dunleavy will be the general manager full-time next season, so although he is still the head coach in name, he has actually begun to slowly delegate power to Lu Zi.
For today's game, Lu Zi is basically in charge.
It doesn’t matter who is in charge anyway, in the end everyone listens to Li Ang.
Lu Zi looked at Li Ang, and Li Ang looked at Lu Zi. Both of them knew that they wanted to solve the problem next, and that was the only way.
"Okay, I'll defend Deron in the third quarter." In the end, Li Ang took the initiative to defend Deron.
Although I know that this is likely to play into the Jazz's hands, there is no better choice at the moment.
After the start of the third quarter, when Deron took possession of the ball again and walked through half-court, he found that Li Ang was guarding him.
Deron was very excited. According to the original tactics, he had to use pick-and-rolls to find opportunities first, and if there was no chance, he would pass the ball to assist his teammates.
But when Delong saw Li Ang, it was like going to a KTV and seeing a princess with your XP. You must try it for yourself!
Deron then did not call for a pick-and-roll, but decided to play Li Ang in singles to compete with Li Ang!
He wanted to see if this guy, who was known as the number one active player, could defend himself!
During this period, Delong is indeed a bit bloated.
He made the second team last season and averaged 20+10 per game this season. He feels that he is also a big player.
His and Sloan's systems actually complement each other, but Deron always feels that he is the necessary condition for achieving results.
So I felt a little dissatisfied with Sloan's various restrictions.
He believes his numbers would have looked better without Sloan limiting himself.
A year and a half later, it was precisely because of this growing sentiment that Deron and Sloan parted ways.
Sloan was so heartbroken that he directly chose to retire.
Deron and Sloan are now in a cooperative but somewhat conflicting relationship.
Therefore, even though Sloan had just handed over to Deron, he started a pick-and-roll when facing Leon's defense. But DeLong believes that this is purely unnecessary.
Why can't I play Li Ang alone?
I can defeat Li Ang alone, so why bother with so much effort?
You all said before that Paul was strong, Paul was strong, but in the end, he was beaten like a son by me.
Now that you are talking about Li Angqiang, I still have to try it.
In this wave, both humans and ghosts were showing off, except Paul.
Delong changed direction and prepared to shake Li Ang away, but Li Ang caught up in time.
But it doesn't matter, soon, Deron's second consecutive change of direction followed.
Most people will be thrown away when Delong changes direction for the second time in a row. But Li Ang still used his extremely fast lateral speed to block Deron's breakthrough route and stopped him directly!
Facing the No. 1 position, Deron has the physical advantage and can force a breakthrough even if he is blocked.
But facing Li Ang, Delong was like B meeting C, with his physical advantage gone.
Delong was directly forced to stop and tightly pressed against him. Now let alone shooting, it is difficult for him to even think about the ball!
While Deron was panicking, Li Ang calmly and accurately did everything, and cut the basketball out of Deron's hand in a daze!
Li Ang immediately counterattacked after getting the basketball. He was very fast so no one could catch up.
After reaching the basket, Li Ang performed a powerful tomahawk dunk, narrowing the point difference to single digits!
This is the first time today that Li Ang has completed such a fun dunk!
Sloan immediately became angry: "What are you doing!?"
The coaches of the previous generation would not be babysitters for the stars. It is commonplace for them to scold the stars.
Delong gritted his teeth and was very unhappy.
He admitted that he failed alone.
But damn, I played a good game and I just made a mistake this time. You don’t need to scold me bloody, right?
Li Ang successfully scored, and it seemed that his personal defense of Deron was indeed very effective.
When the Jazz attacked again, Li Ang also clapped his hands at Deron: "Come on, kill me and you will be famous today. Kill me tomorrow and it will be news all over the world. Come on, let's see if you have that ability!"
Li Ang was deliberately provoking Delong. He knew very well that Delong was somewhat rebellious during this period. If Deron is obsessed with singles, Li Ang will succeed.
Deron was indeed angry, but he was not fooled.
After that, when Deron faced Leon's defense, he still started a pick-and-roll with Boozer.
But Li Ang's ability to get around pick-and-rolls is not at the same level as Rose's. Deron changed directions and tried to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Ang, but Li Ang returned to Deron almost immediately.
Of course, there is a disadvantage to Li Ang putting all his defensive energy on Deron, that is, Li Ang cannot help defend others, and Li Ang will be completely contained by Deron on the defensive end.
Therefore, when Deron used a ground pass to assist Kirilenko who cut in to complete the layup, James Jones had no choice at all.
That's how the basketball game is, you have to give up when you get something.
But it's better to let others on the Jazz score than to let Deron continue to wreak havoc.
The game lasted like this for half of the third quarter, and the point difference kept hovering in the range of 7 points to 11 points.
It is true that Li Ang's defense restricted Deron, but because he spent too much energy on the defensive end, Li Ang's own offense was also affected.
In the third quarter, Li Ang's shots were always too short.
This means that every time Li Ang shoots, his strength is a little bit weaker.
Li Ang is really tired today because he does the most physically demanding work on both offense and defense.
Delong changes direction so quickly, it is very difficult to keep up with him.
The Jazz's iron-blooded defense has not slackened at all.
You must know that this is already the 78th game of this season.
Excluding the five games he was suspended from, Li Ang has played 73 games this season, averaging 40 minutes per game.
After fighting until now, no matter how weak Li Ang is in terms of physical fitness, it is impossible for him not to feel tired at all.
Therefore, his shooting in the third quarter was very inconsistent.
On the one hand, Li Ang did effectively limit the Jazz's UCLA pick-and-roll. But on the other hand, this makes his own offensive shots inaccurate.
Ever since, the score has been unable to be effectively narrowed.
Halfway through the third quarter, as Okur hit the net with a long two-pointer, the Clippers fell behind by 10 points!
Lu Zi paused the game again. Half a quarter passed, and the Clippers could be said to have made no progress.
Li Ang sat on the bench, gasping for air. This move to defend Deron was a failure. With the Jazz's system, just defending Deron won't work at all.
Duncan saw how difficult the game was and regretted it.
I have to laugh at myself for the rest of my life that I am a dog!
Director Lu was also very anxious and had used up all his tricks. If relying on Li Ang to defend Deron has no effect, then there is really no better way.
The on-site commentator looked at the serious atmosphere on the Clippers bench and shook his head.
"There is still one and a half quarters left, and we don't know if the Clippers can still do anything. This is a difficult night for Li Ang. He has only rested for two minutes today. Many stars may have deliberately reduced their playing time. Preparations are being made for the playoffs, but Li Ang is still fighting.
We don't know whether the Clippers will reduce Li Ang's playing time in order to prepare for the playoffs, give up this game, and give up 72 wins. Moreover, even if Li Ang persists so much, he may not necessarily get 72 wins.
All I can say is that this is a choice about strength and courage! "
After the commentator finished shouting, fans shouted in the Energy Solution Arena: "The King has fallen in Salt Lake City! The King has fallen in Salt Lake City!"
Their cries were broadcast around the world via television.
Will the King really fall in Salt Lake City?
Is a season's hard work really going to be ruined in Salt Lake City? Buried by an ugly UCLA pick-and-roll?
At this time, the live camera also gave Li Ang a close-up. There is no doubt that Li Ang is the person under the most pressure now.
However, Li Ang didn't look nervous. He took a few sips of his energy drink and then looked up at Lu Zi: "I'm going to defend Boozer."
"Okay!?" Lu Zi originally agreed casually, but after thinking about Li Ang's words carefully, he was stunned.
Defending Boozer? What kind of trick is this?
Li Ang, you can’t get too tired and dizzy!
"That's it, I'm going to defend Boozer. Derek, you go and defend Deron. I only give you one task, to bite him as much as possible. No matter pick-and-roll or not, you don't switch defenses, just try to bite Deron as much as possible." Ron Williams, bite him!"
"Okay, okay!" Ross nodded quickly. In his memory, this was the first time Li Ang yelled at him.
Listening to this tone, you can tell how much Li Ang values this game and this adjustment.
The timeout ended, and Li Ang, who was sweating profusely, stood up again, which meant that he would continue to play.
The on-site commentators were all sweating for Li Ang. If they don't take a break now, it basically means they won't take a break in the third quarter.
Can you bear it?
In the stands, the shouts of "The King has fallen in Salt Lake City" became louder and louder, and the fans in Salt Lake City were frantically putting pressure on Li Ang.
Delong looked at the exhausted Li Ang and laughed disdainfully: "I will defeat you today as you wish. You are actually nothing special, Li."
Li Ang did not respond because it was not the time yet.
In this attack, just as Li Ang was about to break through, he was hit hard by Kirilenko.
Li Ang used his stronger body to fend off the AK47, and then stopped in the mid-range to make a jump shot.
The basketball hit the net and the score difference returned to 8 points.
Although he scored successfully, it was still not easy for Li Ang to score the goal.
Because AK47 only focuses on defense, it consumes a lot of physical energy and energy.
Unless Li Ang scores a wave of points, he will not be able to recover the point difference.
It was the Jazz's turn to attack, and the cheers in the Energy Solutions Arena could almost overturn the dome of the arena.
And Delong was delighted to find that Li Ang didn't come to defend him!
Hahahaha, it must be because Li Ang was exhausted and started hiding from himself!
If Deron knew that Liang could keep the voice-activated lights in Kobe's yard from going out overnight, he probably wouldn't have said this.
Although Deron sent out a lot of assists in the third quarter, his personal scoring was limited because of Li Ang.
Now that Li Ang doesn't defend himself, it's equivalent to his daughter-in-law returning to her parents' home.
Then you must seize this opportunity and have a good time!
Deron didn't think much and called Boozer to cover, preparing to use the cover to hit Rose!
Rose was blocked by Boozer, and Deron got another chance to shoot.
But before he had time to take action, Li Ang came over to defend.
Deron was a little surprised. He didn't realize that Li Ang was actually defending Boozer just now.
But do you think stopping me can stop our attack?
Deron subconsciously passed the ball to Boozer, thinking that it would be okay for Boozer to hit Rose out of position.
But Rose did not switch defense in front of Boozer. He still bit Deron as Leon ordered.
And Li Ang immediately took a step laterally, stretched out his arms, and intercepted Deron's pass to Boozer!
On the surface, Li Ang was guarding Boozer, but actually he was guarding Deron.
He wants to cut off the Jazz's pick-and-roll from the source!
With Li Ang's stealing ability and wingspan, it is easy to cut off their passing routes.
After completing the steal, Li Ang quickly counterattacked again. This time Li Ang smashed the ball with both hands, narrowing the point difference to only 6 points!
Sloan pouted, everyone said that Li Ang was invincible offensively, but what Sloan felt most today was that Li Ang's defensive ability was too strong!
He feels that DPOY will have to have Li Ang sooner or later.
Delong cursed secretly, very unconvinced.
It's just carelessness, look at you acting like that.
Soon, Deron reorganized the offense and continued to play pick-and-roll with Boozer with some vindictiveness.
Li Ang still followed the old routine, switching defense directly to block Delong first.
But Deron wasn't stupid either. This time he didn't pass the ball immediately, but paused and waited for both Leon and Rose to flank him before passing the ball to Boozer!
Li Ang immediately turned around and chased after him, but Delong smiled jokingly.
Do you really think you are invincible? Do you really think you can catch up with anything?
You arrogant guy!
Of course Li Ang is not invincible, but he is not arrogant. Everything he does is the result of careful thinking.
Boozer's mid-range shooting is accurate, but his shooting movement is very slow, and he is nicknamed the Physical Catapult.
Therefore, Li Ang is confident that he will interfere with Boozer's shot before he takes it!
This time, as soon as Boozer took action, he found that his vision went dark, and a big hand blocked his face.
The next second, there was a "bang" and the basketball was slapped back by Li Ang.
Li Ang not only interfered, but successfully blocked the shot and once again stopped the Jazz's attack!
James Jones received the ball that was blocked by Li Ang. He did not have the ability to make a fast break on his own, nor was he very capable of getting on the ball, so he did not counterattack.
But at least the Clippers got another chance to narrow the score!
Sloan covered his head. He felt that Li Ang was really becoming more and more like Jordan.
Just, all kinds of methods have been exhausted, but they can still win!
Li Ang told Jones not to panic, just give me the ball and put it in the bottom corner.
I am solely responsible for this attack!
After Li Ang received the basketball, he did not rush to break through, but walked all the way across the midfield line.
Kirilenko opened his arms, like a wall blocking Li Ang.
But just when Li Ang walked to the position two steps away from the three-point line, Li Ang suddenly pulled out and shot a three-pointer!
Kirilenko was shocked and rushed forward hastily.
But because he was too nervous, he hit Li Ang's forearm the moment he took action.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and called Kirilenko a foul. I thought this was desperate enough, but the next second, the basketball hit the net!
Li Ang got a chance to hit four points. If it happened, the point difference would be only 2 points after Li Ang!
Li Ang's performance of scoring 8 points in a row turned the situation around instantly. At this time, "the sound of the king falling in Salt Lake City" stopped abruptly.
Li Ang also made a "hush" gesture towards the stands.
Shut up, King, it will only conquer Salt Lake City!
Once you find the right method, the next step is to see who can survive until the end.
