Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

On January 13th, the Knicks ushered in another back-to-back home game.

Having just lost to the Trail Blazers yesterday, they have deeply reflected and regained their previous rhythm in training. Tonight will be their touchstone. The Knicks are very serious from top to bottom. They hope to win in this game.

Find the winning rhythm in the game.

Their opponent, the Utah Jazz, seemed a little distracted.

It all seems to start this summer.

Everyone knows that this summer can be called one of the crazy summers in the history of the NBA. Various transactions have become popular, and there are also big scenes such as the Big Three signing a team to Miami. History will use time to prove the impact of this summer. It is almost a

The beginning of changing times.

The Utah Jazz, who barely made it to the playoffs last season and then met the Lakers in an extremely familiar encounter, and then were swept, naturally could not be as aloof as the New York Knicks who had just won the championship. On the contrary, the impact they encountered could be said to be the greatest.

That group, because of the foundation of the team in the past five or six years, the new Utah duo was once again torn apart. Just like when Malone left Los Angeles, this time it was Boozer's turn to go to Chicago to chase the championship.

Jazz boss Deron Williams, whose contract had not expired and the Jazz did not want to release him, naturally stayed. At that time, Jazz fans regarded him as the hope of the whole village, and the team agreed to reorganize the team around him.

Of course, Deron was ambitious and wanted to make a big move. He immediately tasked his management team with making a bunch of trade requests to the Jazz management, and was even prepared to negotiate with the Jazz in advance.

However, after waiting happily all summer, the person I wanted didn't come. Instead, Laga Bell, a guy like Jefferson who was not useful, came instead. There was no useful insider.

He went to the management angrily, and the answer he got was...no money.

These two words almost made Delong laugh angrily. Good guy, after waiting for four months, he just said it to himself without money. Don't you think you are a fool?

Little did they know that Jazz was telling the truth... It wasn't that they were unwilling to strengthen, it was because they really didn't have the money.

Anyone who wants one asks for a super-big contract. The Jazz are originally a small club, and they don't have the ability to compete for championships. Naturally, no big names are willing to come.

But Delong didn't know. He just felt that the management had lied to him.

That's not all. Coach Sloan, whom he had always respected, actually reminded him to lose weight before the start of the season and warned him to reduce the number of dunks in the game.

This became the last straw that broke Deron's mentality. You must know that this was Deron's most prosperous day. The outside world regarded him as the top three point guards in the league. He was famous for eating, sleeping and beating Paul for a long time. Last season, he

But he was able to score 24.2 points and 10.2 assists!

Sloan actually wanted Deron to grow up so much that he would constantly say to Deron Williams in training: "You have to become a player like Stockton." "Stockton was

He has never been late for a training session", "Why did he play like that just now? If it was Stockton, he would definitely not make his own decisions" and so on.

Well, the old man is here.

And letting him dunk less and lose weight also revealed his biggest problem, which is his playing style. His playing style is very easy to get injured, which will affect his career. Later, Deron's development trajectory also confirmed that the old coach

Long Yan is so correct.

However, how could Deron, who was young and arrogant at this time, easily listen to the coach's advice.

What's more, Sloan actually thinks that he shouldn't go to Stockton!

This directly created a gap between Deron and Sloan.

How much DeLong admired and loved Sloan at that time, how much he resented him now.

Therefore, the Jazz have staged various dramas of disagreements between generals and generals this season, which has also caused their record to continue to decline.

Of course, Zuo Li knew nothing about these situations. Although he probably remembered that this season was the day when Deron and Sloan had a falling out, Deron was traded, and Sloan retired, Zuo Li did not know what happened specifically.

do not remember.

It has nothing to do with him, he just plays the game well and wins for the Jazz and that's it.

With this idea in mind, the game begins.

The Knicks continue to line up familiar starters like Zuo Li, Randolph, Battier, Belinelli, and Curry.

The Jazz, Okur, Millsap, Kirilenko, Jefferson, and Deron started.

The weaknesses of this lineup can be said to be very obvious. Millsap is a very good player, but his problem is that he is too short. At the same time, unlike Boozer, who is good at shooting, he is a proper basket player and can attack.

It relies more on the back-up ability.

This makes the Jazz's inside line very weak. The Jazz were beaten by the Lakers in those years, but they just couldn't stand in the inside line. Now that Boozer is gone, they can't stand still anymore.

So Zuo Li and Randolph quickly found a rhythm inside.

Zuo Li used his back to suppress Okur, Randolph used his weight to beat Millsap, Zuo Li passed in, Randolph caught the ball and hit the board, Zuo Li blocked Millsap, and the Knicks scored on a fast break...

In just one quarter, the Knicks took advantage of their strength inside to suppress the score 22-6.

Deron scored 8 points in this quarter with a sudden outside shot, but he alone obviously cannot make up for the Jazz's lack of inside.

Okur made 0 of 3 shots in this quarter. It’s not that he wasn’t shooting accurately, it was because Zuo Li followed him too closely. He was not fast enough, and he couldn’t shoot after a pick-and-roll without the ball. He was entangled by Zuo Li, so it would be nice to be able to take a shot.

Millsap also only scored 2 points. Playing behind Randolph is what his body should do. It's okay for two years, but this season, forget it.

The remaining 4 points in the paint still came from Deron's breakthrough. Jefferson still stretched across, left to the left, and Randolph Battier formed a defensive echelon. He didn't dare to enter.

30-19 in the first quarter, 31-20 in the second quarter, trailing by 22 points at halftime. No matter how you look at it, this is the rhythm of a big defeat.

Knicks fans were ready to spend money to buy beer and burgers at halftime, and were waiting steadily for the victory in the second half.

However, just when the midfielder was returning to the tunnel, an accident happened!

Originally, the Jazz had almost reached the tunnel. Sloan was talking to Okur, who didn't play well in the first half. He was filled with resentment, and then Deron, who was completely overwhelmed by the score difference, rushed straight to him.

Sloan shouted: "To hell with your garbage tactics!"

Sloan obviously did not expect that Delong would yell at him so directly, so he was stunned for two seconds. Then, of course, his anger surged, and he pointed at Delong: "You better know what you are talking about!"

Deron: "Of course I know that your tactics are worthless and they can't bring us victory!"

Sloan almost died of anger. This was the first time in his life that he was pointed at and scolded by one of his teammates, and it was Deron who was personally selected by himself and had put in countless efforts to come back. At this moment, he felt that his blood pressure must have soared to 200.

That’s all.

"You..." Sloan pointed at Deron and was about to start spraying, but when he saw various cameras and fans holding mobile phones and filming frantically, he held back, and then turned around and walked back to the tunnel.

Delong followed closely, and then an even more intense voice came out...
