basketball legend manager

Change sides and fight again, Jazz attacks.

Al Jefferson went straight to the low post and started asking for the ball.

Taking advantage of his height advantage, he successfully got the ball.

But as soon as he caught the ball, Jefferson felt the confrontation coming from behind.

That kind of power was like a door hammer used in ancient sieges, which made his back hurt every time.

Jefferson raised the ball high with his right hand. While resisting Ben, he kept complaining to the referee.

"Old man, can you take it easy?"

As he said that, Jefferson suddenly turned around and tried to pass Ben Wallace's defense.

But the latter reacted very quickly and blocked his way with a single movement.

"Bang!"

Jefferson hit Ben Wallace in the chest.

The collision was so violent, as tough as a giant, that I couldn't help but groan.

But even so, he still refused to retreat, firmly blocking Jefferson from the three-second zone.

The former Wolf King was extremely surprised by this result.

In his mind, just turning around was enough to get past Da Ben.

It was good now. Not only did he not complete the dribble, he didn't even take advantage of the subsequent physical confrontation.

It's not like Jefferson never thought about passing the ball.

But when he looked up, he found that his teammates were all standing there, waiting for him to end the attack.

In desperation, Jefferson had no choice but to make a last ditch effort.

I saw him bending his feet and taking off with all his strength, trying to take advantage of his height and wingspan to force a shot...

"Snapped!"

"Bang~"

Two loud noises.

The first sound was Daben jumping up high and covering his head with his big hat.

The second sound was the sound of Jefferson, a tall man of nearly seven feet, falling to the ground!

After completing the block, Ben Wallace didn't even look at his fallen opponent, but immediately rushed to the basketball and controlled it.

It wasn't until the Rockets completed another fast break that Ben, who was satisfied, walked up to Jefferson and pulled him up.

"You still have to practice confrontation."

Ben Wallace said with a kind smile.

"Hmph...Okay, brother."

Jefferson smiled, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

It was only now that he realized that Ben Wallace's physical condition could not be related to that of a "veteran".

Coupled with his excellent defensive awareness and experience...

Jefferson knew that if he fought hard, he would definitely not be able to get it.

During the transition between offense and defense, he walked to the sideline and explained the situation to head coach Sloan.

Sloan was experienced and immediately understood what Jefferson meant.

"Then you should play more pick-and-rolls. You can try pick-and-roll and face-to-face attacks."

Sloan said helplessly.

Originally, apart from Deron, the most confident player on the offensive end of the Jazz lineup was Jefferson.

Deron has played the entire first quarter and must take a rest now.

I thought I could leave the scoring burden to Jefferson, but now it seems that is no longer possible.

"Go and talk to Gordon, he will be the main attack next."

Sloan continued.

Jefferson was stunned when he heard this.

[Hayward?]

[The first-year rookie who only averaged 5.4 points per game?]

[Didn’t you see how defeated he was in front of Paul George in the first quarter?]

Jefferson was full of doubts.

But Sloan was very strong in the team. Except for Deron, no one else dared to question his decision.

Jefferson was always confused and could only convey what the coach meant.

Hayward was not much surprised after hearing this and accepted the coach's arrangement very calmly.

Jazz's offensive possession.

Hayward holds the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, facing Danny Green's defense.

I saw him making an in&out feint with his left hand, then lowering his center of gravity and accelerating his breakthrough.

Green struggled to move sideways to block.

In the flash of lightning, Hayward suddenly stopped and leaned forward slightly with his right shoulder.

Green was hit like this and his center of gravity shifted backwards.

Hayward took the opportunity to shoot from mid-range...

bingo!

Basketball goes hollow into the net.

At 42:22, the Rockets still led by 20 points.

However, Hayward's goal broke the Jazz's three-minute scoring drought.

At this time, Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, also saw this scene through the TV.

When he first took over the Rockets, he actually thought about acquiring George and Hayward together.

But due to the lack of draft picks, Shen Fei finally chose the former.

Now that I think about it, if such an all-around striker could be in the Rockets, it would be a good addition.

"I remember Hayward was unknown until Deron left..."

"If we don't need him this season, we can try to trade him during the offseason."

Shen Fei murmured to himself.

The future of the NBA will definitely be the era of small forwards.

You can never have too many good wing players!

Moreover, Hayward is both offensive and defensive, and has good passing skills.

If it weren't for that devastating ankle fracture, his upper limit would actually be very high.

If you can buy before his rise, it will definitely be a great addition to the Rockets next season.

After thinking about this, Shen Fei took out his notebook to write down the matter, and then returned his attention to the competition.

............

Hayward succeeded on his first try.

But now he is still too immature.

After Danny Green took some precautions, Hayward quickly lost his "magic".

A follow-up one-on-one shot failed, and a low-post turnaround and a jump shot...

After the Jazz's No. 20 youngster failed to attack twice, the Rockets once again opened up the score.

Lowry, whose performance has been sluggish recently, hit two consecutive three-pointers.

Oden, who came on the bench, used a slam dunk to let the Jazz insiders understand what talent is.

Four minutes later, the score between the two teams became 55:28, and the Rockets had led by as many as 27 points!

What makes the home fans even more desperate is...

The Rockets' starting five are at the technical table at this time, waiting for dead-ball substitutions!

Some Jazz fans with a fragile mentality had their eyes red at this moment.

They seemed to have foreseen that a one-sided massacre was about to occur.

On the sidelines, the Jazz coach quickly called Deron up.

This All-Star guard is the team's only hope now!

............

After the Jazz committed a defensive foul, both sides mobilized their forces.

In the first round after the substitution, Curry took advantage of his off-ball movement and got a shot in the left corner.

Curry, who has been so confident recently, turned around and smiled at his teammates on the sidelines after throwing the ball.

A photographer sitting in the front row happened to be facing Curry.

"Click~"

The scene freezes, the basketball is still in the air, but Curry has his back to the basket, celebrating with his teammates in advance.

This picture is so beautiful that this photographer is afraid to look at it...

"Shua~"

The basketball hits the net!

As soon as this goal was scored, the mentality of the Jazz generals completely collapsed!
