Chapter 115 Battle of Jazz
The Clippers beat the Spurs by a big score, and the main player Baron Davis returned from injury.
Although Beard is not in good condition now, it is good news for the Clippers after all.
The regular season schedule continues. On February 2, the Clippers welcome the Jazz at home to challenge.
Today's Jazz is still Jerry Sloan's Jazz, and as long as the Jazz has old coach Sloan sitting in charge, the results will not be much worse.
In recent seasons, the Jazz have continued to make consecutive playoff trips, but they are still a long way from the championship.
It can be said that in recent seasons, as soon as the Jazz reached the playoffs, they gave the Lakers a steady supply of food.
In the same way, when Mosaic met the Jazz, he was the first and the second big, and he couldn't make it through life and death.
Facing a stable traditional strong team like the Jazz, Lu Yi still needs to go all out.
The last time they were a guest in Salt Lake City, the Clippers lost the game a little depressed.
Today, one must try to win.
Lu Yi believes that defeating the Jazz will not only make the players more confident, but also accumulate some quasi-playoff-level game experience, which will help in the subsequent playoffs.
The game started quickly, and Okur helped the Jazz jump to the ball.
As soon as it came up, the Jazz's first wave of offense was the pick-and-roll offense that everyone is most familiar with.
Ten years ago, the Jazz relied on Malone and Stockton to launch a pick-and-roll offense.
In recent years, coach Sloan has found two replacements, Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams.
As soon as he came up, he encountered the pick-and-roll of Deron and Boozer, and Iverson was actually a little depressed.
Originally, Deron's tonnage would make Iverson feel more difficult to beat Iverson. Now that there is a Boozer moving together, Iverson will be even more uncomfortable.
In addition, Deron's dribbling rhythm is very strange, and the rhythm of changing directions is also strange. Iverson quickly lost Deron and gave Deron an open shot.
However, Deron's breakthrough is very good, but his finishing ability is a little bit worse.
Deron made an emergency stop and made a half-block shot. The ball was played beautifully, but he missed it.
However, Boozer, who rushed to the basket, happened to use his momentum to provoke high and control the offensive rebound.
Just when Boozer took off for the second time and wanted to dunk with both hands, Lu Yi, who had nothing to do in the bottom corner, went to the basket in time and cooperated with Camby to double-team Boozer.
Seeing Lu Yi appearing in front of him, Boozer seemed to be afraid of being blocked, so he didn't rush to forcefully jump against the person, but turned to look at the top of the arc and the sides to see if he could pass the ball again .
Boozer found Ronnie Brewer right behind Lewy, and Lewy missed Brewer by double-teaming him.
Ever since, Boozer pretended to look at the basket and moved his feet for a layup, but in fact he flicked his fingers and passed the ball to Brewer in the corner.
It was too late, Brewer quickly cut to the basket after receiving the ball.
As soon as Lewy turned around, Brewer flew over Lewy's head.
In such a situation, Lu Yi also knew that another jump would have no effect other than paying a foul.
Ever since, I took the initiative to slip out of the bottom line and refused to be the background board.
Many times, defensive players are too honest, and then they are hung on the wall.
As a superstar star, Duncan has provided many players with poster-level buckles.
Lu Yi is now well-known, and his traffic is not low.
Once Lu Yi is dunked by an unknown teenager like Brewer, he will most likely be nailed to the pillar of shame.
However, just after Lu Yi dodged, there was a bang from the basket,
Unexpectedly, Brewer's dunk was magically blocked by the basket!
"Is the handwork so bad?" Lu Yi was ready to find Iverson's position, and served from the baseline.
In the blink of an eye, he was about to rush to the basket to grab a rebound.
This is really... speechless.
In fact, Brewer was also very speechless: "Lu Yi dodged, who covered me? Especially the basket?"
Brewer didn't dunk the ball, it just hit the basket and bounced lightly.
After discovering the rebound, Jordan under the basket took the lead in taking off with his excellent bounce, and got the rebound quickly with his eyesight and hands.
The Jazz are also good at playing fast breaks. When they saw that the rebound had been lost, they didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed to the backcourt to settle in the defensive position ahead of time.
Jordan originally wanted to pass the ball to Iverson, but seeing the Jazz returning to defense early, he handed the ball to Lu Yi who was close at hand.
However, Lu Yi still played a fast break. After all, Lu Yi's fast break is not only to hit the basket, but also to shoot and chase three-pointers.
Brewer reacted, stood up from the three-point line ahead of time, and stared at Lu Yi.
However, there was nothing messy about it, Lu Yi raised his hand and shot, and directly shot a super long three-pointer.
brush--
Needless to say, the ball just went in!
"It's really domineering!" Sloan, who was on the sidelines, saw Lu Yi throwing such a fairy ball. In Sloan's view, it was a fairy ball, and he couldn't help admiring a few words.
After the Clippers threw the ball in, the Jazz could only continue to advance with Caudron and play positional warfare.
However, Iverson suddenly stepped forward with a gamble steal and took the ball out of Deron's hand.
Iverson deserves to be Iverson, and when he came suddenly and unexpectedly, he was hard to guard against.
Delong reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and chased after him.
Due to the conversion of offense and defense, the players of the two teams also turned their guns and started running wildly.
Running a fast break is never a one-person job. Even if it is a talented No. [-] pick who plays a fast break, it is best to have teammates to follow up and help.
However, although Iverson stepped down to pave the way, he is still the No. [-] pick, and even the best among them.
Iverson knew that Deron was heavy, and Deron had a lot of influence on him during his playing time, so he didn't prepare for Lu Yi to run back to the frontcourt, pass the ball to Lu Yi, and let Lu Yi shoot a three-pointer from the corner.
Instead, he rushed to the basket quickly and waited for Deron to come over.
Directly, Iverson was about to step into a reasonable collision zone, but he stopped suddenly.
Deron didn't expect that Iverson would stop at this time. Due to the considerable inertia of his body, even if he wanted to slow down, he couldn't reduce it immediately, so he slammed into Iverson.
After Iverson had a physical confrontation, he bowed in the air and scored the ball.
"And One!" The live commentary shouted excitedly.
Iverson successfully used his rich game experience to make Deron a foul.
Besides, Iverson didn't waste this offensive opportunity, and still relied on his personal ability to get the two points he got first.
Immediately after the additional penalty, Iverson did not disappoint the Clippers fans on the scene, the additional penalty, hit!
Another three-point gap!
After the free throw, Deron picked up the ball first, and then immediately retreated to the bottom line.
In the blink of an eye, Deron passed the ball back to the frontcourt.
Originally there was no one in the frontcourt, but Kirilenko suddenly appeared, picked up the ball on the ground, carried the ball and rushed towards the basket.
boom--
Raise the fire to burn the sky, violently buckle.
The AK47 from the north finally fired his first shot of the game.
However, Ariza, who followed Kirilenko to the basket, reacted quickly.
Sneak out of the baseline and grab the baseline.
The ball quickly fell into the hands of Lu Yi in the middle circle.
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't rush slowly after receiving the ball, Brewer immediately rushed to the three-point line with the ball, and suddenly felt bad.
Lu Yi raised his bow and set an arrow, raised his hand and shot, and it was a three-point chase with one step outside the three-point line!
brush--
"Here we go again! This is Lu Yi!"
"All-star, all-star, all-star!"
Some Clippers fans shouted excitedly.
Lu Yi hit consecutive three-pointers, which is really exciting.
However, in the next second, the situation on the court changed to the Jazz launching an attack.
The Jazz is still an ever-changing pick-and-roll tactic.
Since it is not easy to play fast, then play slow and play efficiently.
Deron continued to rhythmically dribble and double sharply changed direction, which made Iverson feel ashamed.
After Deron found that Iverson couldn't keep up with him, he immediately held the ball past Boozer's screen and stopped to shoot.
The Jazz may not shoot as many three-pointers in a game as Lu Yi alone.
But that doesn't mean the Jazz lack pitchers.
At least, there is still some grasp of the middle distance.
This time Deron's shot was more stable than last time. Deron shot without hesitation, and the trajectory was very positive.
brush--
Go in!
Although the two-pointer is one point worse than the three-pointer, at least the Jazz have scored through sports, which is gratifying.
It was the Clippers' turn to attack again, and Iverson finally thought about attacking himself.
A Deron roll call, Iverson is not good.
With Lu Yi attracting the defense on the side and other teammates pulling away, Iverson gained a good breakthrough space.
Come and not reciprocate indecent, Iverson walked straight up the arc and forced Deron.
Deron's breakthrough speed is fast, but his lateral movement when defending is relatively average.
After Iverson passed Deron clean, it didn't take long for Iverson to make a small toss while walking and hit the ball into the basket.
Looking back, Deron is also not too much to give back with a drift mid-range shot.
In each round, both sides hit the ball and scored two points, which means that the round just now was for nothing, and everything returned to the original starting point.
Sloan saw that the point difference had not widened and the players seemed to be playing passively, so he immediately called a timeout and temporarily arranged some tactics.
As the oldest head coach in active service, Sloan has more than just the pick-and-roll in his tactical library.
As Sloan temporarily adjusted the Jazz's tactics and style of play, the Jazz slowly regained their playing rhythm.
Although it failed to narrow the point difference all at once, it would not be directly opened by the Clippers by more than 10 points.
26 to 30, the Clippers ended the first quarter with a 4-point lead.
In the second quarter, Dunleavy thought that Lu Yi could last a while, so Lu Yi and Beard came off the bench together, and Iverson was put off the court to rest.
Deron held the ball and faced the bearded man, and the two small steel cannons came together like this.
Obviously they are all players who are good at breakthroughs, but they choose to compete head-to-head.
In the end, it was the young Deron who had the upper hand and made a half-shot with a big beard.
Although there was a lot of confrontation, the ball was still thrown by Deron.
In this way, the point difference was reduced to 2 points, leaving only one goal difference.
Originally, Dunleavy wanted to consume Deron with a big beard.
The team's offense must be advanced from the outside to the inside, and Deron is the Jazz's ball-holding point.
Although Deron is not a big core of holding the ball, once Deron's physical strength is exhausted and he can't play the effect he should have in the third and fourth quarters, even the final pass will greatly reduce the help to the Jazz.
Dunleavy wanted to set up an ambush for the second half.
But watching helplessly, the slight advantage gained in the first quarter was about to be wiped out.
So he immediately yelled at the field: "Give the ball to Lu Yi!"
I have to say that with top stars, the stars themselves are the best tactics.
Dunleavy did not let the wrong tactics be called, and Lu Yi did not disappoint his teammates and fans.
Relying on Lu Yi's crazy shots 3 times in 7 minutes, taking all the offenses of the team, the Clippers suddenly opened the point difference to 8 points.
With one person attacking and four people defending, Lu Yi only took 7 shots to achieve a 6-point advantage, which is really incredible.
At this time, Iverson, who was sitting off the court, looked a little dazed.
"That's the way I played back then, right?" Soon, Iverson shook his head.
It can only be said that times have changed.
At the beginning, the role players were not capable enough, and the main force took over the offense without any problems.
Now, confrontation is reduced, offense is encouraged, and a random pitcher with a sharp knife is likely to get a big contract.
The level of role players increases as they spend more time in the NBA.
Now, in most games, team basketball is the correct way to win.
"Leave it to me!" Soon, Iverson re-entered the court, and Lu Yi and Beard came off the court together.
The Clippers' back line is still relatively solid, even if Lu Yi and Beard play, Iverson and Gordon are still on the court.
On the other hand, for the Jazz, with one touch from Deron, there are only three or two big cats and kittens left on the outside line, which is not good.
Although Sloan has a great bonus to ordinary role players, after all, the NBA mainly relies on talent to play.
Without talent, there was no way to get in here from the beginning.
And once here, you will feel even more how big the gap between talents is.
Obviously, in today's game, the Clippers taught the Jazz a lesson with their talents.
Big cities are more comfortable than small cities!The former can attract high-quality stars, while the latter spends a lot of money, but may not be able to achieve what they want.
52 to 64 at halftime, the Clippers relied on Iverson to lead the team to abuse food and continue to expand their advantage.
In the third quarter, the Clippers played steadily, let the beard consume Deron first, and Lu Yi kept running to attract the defense, and occasionally looked for opportunities to shoot three-pointers to stimulate the Jazz.
When Iverson played again in the second half of the third quarter, Lu Yi and Iverson closed the game.
The Jazz were tenacious, facing the Clippers' indiscriminate bombing in the third quarter, they just withstood the pressure.
However, the nearly 20-point difference is not so easy to eliminate.
However, in the fourth quarter, the Jazz relied on their excellent defense to beat the Clippers 12-0.
Originally, Deng Lewei was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and only then did he react that it sold for a lot.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy always felt that his players would rebound, be able to make shots, and score sports games.
After being taught a lesson, this began to make up for it.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
As Lu Yi opened fire again and drove the Clippers' offense and defense with his own power, the Clippers finally had the last laugh.
92 to 109, the Clippers ended the game with a 17-point advantage.
And Lu Yi himself scored 44 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, which is also quite good.
After playing the Jazz, the All-Star Weekend is not far away.
However, the Clippers still have their last regular season game to play. On February 2, the Clippers played back-to-back away games against the Warriors.
"Babyface, long time no see!"
