The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 97 Houston past events!Zhang Bolong's windfall!

In Zhang Bolong's previous life, if one wanted to say which NBA team was the least favorite of Huaxia fans, the Jazz would probably be elected with a high number of votes.

In the 2007 and 2008 playoffs, the Houston Rockets, the home team in the hearts of many Chinese fans, were blocked from the Western Conference semifinals by this team twice in a row.

This also made many people grit their teeth with hatred when they mentioned the Jazz.

Although Zhang Bolong was young at that time and had only watched the game for two years, he could roughly remember the grief and helplessness of the Rockets when they faced the Jazz.

It's really that the style of play is restrained, the substitute is exploded, and he is beaten everywhere.

Dayao couldn't pull out, couldn't guard Okur who shot three-pointers, and couldn't keep up with Boozer, who was able to shoot and shoot.

And McGrady was entertained by muscular men such as AK47 and Harprin in turn, besieged on all sides.

In 2008, Yao Ming was injured, and McGrady led the Rockets forward alone.

In the unfavorable situation of being behind 2:3, McGrady played with an injury, tried his best, and scored 40 points with bandages, but the team still lost miserably.

It can be said that the Jazz really pushed the Rockets to the point where they ran out of ammunition and food.

Sometimes even Zhang Bolong felt that even if the Rockets played against the Spurs, they might not be as passive as they were against the Jazz.

Especially Boozer and Deron, the pair of "shuangsha", are like two bone-eviscerating steel knives, turning clouds and rain at the Rockets' weakest point guard and power forward position, seven in and seven out, like no one in realm.

The Rockets fans who taught Zhijiao back then were very angry, and wished they could go on the court to fight against these two.

Because of this, these two, as the bitter masters of the Rockets, have been portrayed as villains in the hearts of a generation of fans.

It was they who shattered Dayao and McGrady's hopes of breaking through the first round one after another, and poured pots of cold water on the hot hearts of Rockets fans.

……

After so many years, when Zhang Bolong stepped onto the court in person and calmly examined the Jazz team, he realized that the Rockets' loss was not wronged at all.

In addition to the five starters who are more famous than one, the Jazz's bench also sits such titans as Harprin, Fisher, Millsap and CJ Myers.

This is a truly talented team, both starters and substitutes can guarantee continuous and stable offensive and defensive output.

This is also a major reason why they were able to reach the Western Conference Finals this season in their previous life.

Look at your Rockets team again, who are the people on the field?
Hayes can start, does he have the strength?
This team is very unlucky, except for the sudden death of a general manager:
When Yao Mai led the team, the two leading stars were pitted by a bunch of bankrupt substitutes;
When the excellent puzzles such as "Little Black Bean", "Small Steel Cannon", "Shen Bird" and "Diamond" are in place, Yao Ming and McGrady can't get it together again.

This is also the regret that the fire fans of the previous life will always sigh in the heart...

With the "Little Shark" jumping over Okur effortlessly, the basketball also came to Zhang Bolong's hands.

He is responsible for organizing the Lakers' first offense of the field.

Opposite him was Deron Williams, known as the "LeBron of guards".

It is also the goal of Zhang Bolong to complete this mission.

Although Zhang Bolong has enough muscles and strength to support himself in the confrontation, he still involuntarily raised his vigilance when facing Delong.
His intuition told him that this little fat white man would be his formidable enemy.

From the point of view alone, Deron's physique seems to be no less than that of the bearded Baron Davis, and even stronger.

But looking at it, his eyes stayed on Delong's face.

"puff!"

Zhang Bolong suddenly thought of something, and burst out laughing without restraint.

"why are you laughing?"

The serious and tense atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Delong asked Zhang Bolong with a bewildered expression,

"Is there something on my face?"

He reached out and touched it.

"um, yes."

Zhang Bolong held back his smile and sincerely praised:

"Your beard is so nicely trimmed."

"???"

Deron was a little baffled, but he still paid [-]% of his attention and stepped forward to force him over.

He knew that this handsome rookie in front of him always liked to shoot from the outside, and he still maintained a good shooting percentage.

If you take him lightly, he can always hit the bull's-eye where you don't expect it.

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan also specifically emphasized this point in the pre-game arrangement.

The old coach repeatedly urged Deron to move with Nervous Bolong to prevent him from shooting.

As the No. [-] scorer of the Lakers, as long as he can limit his scoring, it is easy for Kobe to fall into the predicament of fighting alone.

The initiative of the game will also be in the hands of the Jazz.

However, although Delong recognized Zhang Bolong's threat, he was somewhat disapproving of Sloan's emphasis.

In his opinion, defending players like Zhang Bolong is not difficult at all.

Although Zhang Bolong has the ability to shoot, he has no speed. He just needs to step forward to stick to the defense, and do not hesitate, then he will have nothing to do.

If it were an ordinary player, even if it was Paul, Deron would worry that he would be passed if he stuck too tightly.

But if it is Zhang Bolong, even if he is one step ahead, Delong is confident that he can catch up with him.

What Delong knew clearly, Zhang Bolong naturally understood,

But basketball is not a duel between two people.

He beckoned, and Ao Daidai stepped forward to block Deron, and the person defending Zhang Bolong became Boozer.

After a few wobbles, he flashes past Boozer, uses his hips to get in position, and drives inside before throwing the ball toward the top of the arc.

Brewer's fingertips were within a few centimeters of the ball, but with all his strength he couldn't touch it.

The basketball flew through the crowd, and Kobe was waiting there. After catching the ball, he jumped up and hit "AK47" Kirilenko's defense.

The momentum at the scene became more and more violent.

In the league, there are not many players like Kobe who don't care about defense at all, and just do it directly.

In the subsequent offensive rounds, the Jazz did not attack aggressively because it was their home court. They performed quite well, played steadily through Deron's organization, and constantly tested the Lakers' defense.

Deron and Boozer inherited the essence of the Utah pick-and-roll, and the fat man used the pick-and-roll twice in a row to assist the "anti-bone boy" to score.

On the Lakers side, Kobe didn't covet the opportunity to make a phone call, but gave the ball to the inside for a strong play reasonably.

The extremely vigorous "Little Shark" lived up to the trust. He crushed all the way to the inside and completed a violent slam dunk "2+1", quite like O'Neal back then.

"If you dare to call me boss again, I will dismantle your basket!"

Bynum roared in response to the abuse at the scene.
