The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 65 Hanging Beat (Part 1)

"The Jazz will most likely let Williams attack Steve in the next round. Sean, your help defense must be fast, and the others will follow the original defensive strategy." Tang Tian's arrangement is quite simple. The team has played everything that the team should have, and the rest is Deron's strength.

At this time, Deron was the top point guard in the league, blowing up Paul's existence, and also the biggest trump card of the Jazz.

Sure enough, after the timeout came back, the Jazz changed from a pick-and-roll with the ball to a pick-and-roll without the ball, and Deron quickly fell to the low post after the ball was released.

Fisher then handed the ball in.

Deron is very powerful, and now he sinks to the low position. He doesn't look like a guard at all, but wants to be a mini insider.

While Deron was playing back, several other Jazz players were also doing pick-and-rolls without the ball inside or outside.

Blake resisted toughly, but his body was too poor for Deron, so he was completely overwhelmed by the top at the moment.

Battier quickly returns from the weak side.

Seeing this scene, Deron immediately assigned the ball to Kirilenko who was open.

Kirilenko was empty outside the three-point line. He didn't choose to shoot, but took the ball and quickly cut to the basket.

But just as he broke through, Battier, who was double-teaming, turned back to defend the past.

Kirilenko's specialty is defense, and offense is not his strong point. When he breaks through with the ball and encounters Battier's defense, he does not have a good chance.

He returned the ball to Deron who went out.

Deron held the ball again, the offensive time had already spent most of the time, and he had to organize the attack again.

The arrangement of the Jazz's suspension ended in failure.

"Unbelievable! Looking at the Rockets' defensive layout, I can't believe that Jerry Sloan's tactics were judged by Tang Tian in advance!" Looking at the situation on the field, Brin couldn't help exclaiming.

As a famous NBA coach, Sloan knows his strength best by the old-school commentator Brin, but he didn't expect to be judged in advance by a young coach who is only 23 years old!

"It's really unimaginable. This is a young man who only became the head coach this year, and his knowledge of the Jazz is limited to the four regular season games this season!" Mark Jackson also expressed emotion.

The camera was consciously shown to Sloan standing on the sidelines. The old man's face was ashen. Although he had a vague premonition before, but seeing his tactics being targeted in this way, he couldn't be in a good mood.

He even wondered if a Rockets player was eavesdropping on him when he was laying out his tactics.

The Jazz didn't play this wave of tactics. Boozer missed a jumper at the high buzzer, and the Jazz's offense failed again.

After the Rockets received the rebound, Blake advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

It is still Yao Ming who organizes at the free throw line.

This time it was Shane Battier. After receiving the ball from Yao Ming, the three-pointer was securely pocketed.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

The Jazz's timeout did not curb the Rockets' offensive. The Rockets played a wave of 11-0 attacks in the past three minutes!

Sloan couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead, and pressed it hard.

After experiencing a brief slump in the opening game, the Rockets quickly recovered.

The Jazz's offense, the same tactics, this time Kirilenko chose a three-point shot after receiving the ball.

"boom!"

The result can be imagined, the AK47 with a hit rate of just over 20% is a veritable crooked player outside the three-point line.

However, Boozer used his long arm to press Millsap and grabbed an offensive rebound at this time.

After grabbing it, he turned around and made a strong move, and Battier on the weak side stood up to the basket ahead of time.

Feeling blocked, Boozer raised his head with an elbow.

Battier fell to the ground.

"beep!"

The referee blows his whistle, signaling Battier's blocking foul.

Thibodeau jumped up from the bench and shouted at the referee that it was an offensive foul.

There was booing too.

Even Battier, who fell to the ground, was pointing to the line of the reasonable collision zone, constantly indicating that he was standing outside the line.

"Team doctor!"

Tang Tian turned around and shouted at the back of the bench.

At this time, no one noticed that the corner of Battier's brow was knocked open, and blood remained from above, staining most of his cheeks red.

It wasn't until the team doctor came on the field to help Battier treat the wound urgently that the camera caught up and the audience saw this bright red scene.

Everyone was worried for a while.

The Rockets replaced Battier with Alston and played a double control combination.

The scene gave a replay at this time, this is a solid offensive foul, Battier stood up early and his feet were outside the collision zone.

The boos at the scene were even worse.

The referee did not change the sentence, they were maintaining their prestige.

"This is a controversial penalty, but compared to the penalty, Battier's end has a greater impact on the situation on the court." Brin is worthy of being an old-school commentator, and at this time he saw the key points on the court.

Boozer made two free throws to help the Jazz continue to chase points.

The Rockets' offense was still supported by Yao Ming at the free throw line, but this time the man in the corner changed from Battier to Blake.

After Yao Ming turned around, he faked a pass to the bottom corner, which tricked Deron into defending against Blake, followed by a pass without looking, and gave the ball to Alstom, who was in the top arc.

Alston catches the ball and makes a shot.

"Shua!"

Three-pointers also scored!

Although the shooting rate is not as good as Battier and Blake, but his open three-pointers are as sure.

"I forgot, Alston is still sitting on the Rockets' bench!" Breen exclaimed at this time, you must know that Alstom has been the starting point guard of the Rockets in the past few seasons!

"Yes, there is also Juwan Howard. After the Rockets added two starters this season, the depth of the lineup is really much deeper than in previous years!"

"Speaking of which, I remember that Tang Tian insisted on picking Paul Millsap, and Blake seemed to be the one who asked the Rockets management for a trade. This is really scary." Breen continued.

"Yes, this Rockets team can be said to be built by Tang Tian. I really can't believe that such a coach is really only 23 years old!" Jackson said with emotion.

The two commentators sighed again and again, and the situation on the field began to be one-sided.

Originally, Battier's injury was an opportunity for the Jazz, but the reality is that the Jazz still couldn't score or defend, and they became like they couldn't play.

The Rockets beat the Jazz 30 to 16 in a single quarter, directly hanging up their opponents.

Sloan was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, and replaced the main players at the beginning of the second quarter.

In fact, not to mention Sloan, the tactics were suppressed to death, and the Jazz players felt as uncomfortable as being restrained on the court.

The tactics couldn't be played, and their offensive actions became bigger. The Rockets players were bumped several times in the dark.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench.
