Chapter 177 Beat David Robinson?

The Jazz's current record is 33 wins and 22 losses, temporarily ranking sixth in the West.

In the case of more than half of the regular season, the level of each team is basically reflected. Take the West as an example. He set his sights on a few strong teams in the West.

Phoenix Suns, 40 wins and 12 losses.

Seattle SuperSonics, 37 wins and 17 losses.

San Antonio Spurs, 35 wins and 18 losses.

Portland Trail Blazers, 34 wins 19.

Houston Rockets, 33 wins and 21 losses.

Due to the problem of the schedule, the number of games for each team is uneven, but counting the sixth Jazz... not surprisingly, the six playoff tickets have been divided up, and the remaining two seats will be handed over to other teams Teams to compete, but there is a high probability that they will land in Los Angeles. The Clippers and Lakers are waiting.

……

next game.

The Jazz beat the Hornets on March 3st, and until the middle and late March, the Jazz went through ten games, with hosts and guests, strong and weak, with 1 wins and 3 losses, and a total record of 8 wins and 2 losses. Fourth in the West.

The inside combination of Li Shengli and Ma Long is very powerful, coupled with the top point guard Stockton, the Utah Shuangsha has become a thing of the past, and now the Utah Sansha are definitely qualified to sweep the West.

Although everyone was always worried about the distribution of inside ball rights at the beginning, but after ten games... this consideration is really superfluous.

You must know that the cooperation between Li Shengli and Ma Long has initially formed a tacit understanding, and the private relationship has gradually warmed up. They don't care about the trivial things of whoever fights more and who fights less.And Ma Long... what he wants is a championship ring, and he is happy to see Li Shengli share his offensive pressure.

……

The night of August 3st.

The Jazz will arrive in San Antonio, Texas, preparing for the 66th game of the regular season against the Spurs. Because the game is on the 22nd of the second day, so... the Jazz will take the airport bus to the hotel to rest first.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the two evil spirits, the entire team of the Jazz has a very good atmosphere. When staying in the hotel, except for the coach Jerry Sloan, everyone else shared a room with two people. Malone and Stockton were together, and the others two. Two pairs.

It's not that the Jazz are picky, on the contrary, the boss Larry Miller is really willing to spend money, but Malone and Stockton are living together, and of course no one else dares to stand out.

As for Li Shengli, let alone, when he was in the Hornets, he either lived with the snoring Curry or the stinky-footed Boggs, and he has long been used to it, and this time, his new roommate is... Ke Rorty.

Speaking of Crotty, his ten-game suspension has ended, and because of the crazy battle back then, his position in the Jazz has undergone a...subtle change.

Teammates first... Although the atmosphere of the Jazz team is good, it is compared to the main players. Who cares about Crotty, a rookie who has no sense of presence?However, when everyone witnessed Crotty's astonishing transformation, who the hell would dare to provoke such a lunatic?

Followed by Malone and Stockton, as the core of the team, they look at everyone the same, but Crotty... is a drinking fountain when he is quiet, a madman when he is angry, and compares himself to himself when he is training. Johnson was also cruel, and everyone saw it.

As for the head coach Jerry Sloan, because Jeff Malone was the bargaining chip for trading Lee Victory, it is equivalent to weakening the Jazz's perimeter. Slightly make up for the disadvantages of the outside line.

Based on this, Crotty's status has risen a lot. Although he still diligently handed towels and water every game, the difference from before...everyone would say thank you.

People are not cruel, they can't stand firm.

Crotty got his respect.

……

When they arrived at the hotel, everyone got off the bus.

Crotty had a lot of bags hanging on him, and he took care of all the salutes from Li Shengli, Malone, and Stockton by himself. Although Li Shengli felt a little embarrassed, he didn't say anything in front of everyone.

He still understands the ways of the world.

If you don't say anything, everyone will pretend that nothing happened, but if you really want to let Crotty unload the bag, on the one hand, it will make Crotty very embarrassed, and on the other hand... These bags are not just his own, Ma Long and Stockton's face is even more unbearable.

Li Shengli didn't take the salute from Crotty until he entered the room.

"Crotty, don't help me with the salute when you play away games in the future. I will talk about Malone and Stockton, and... don't always make trouble with the water dispenser."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Crotty put the salute in order, saying that it's not a habit, he is more helpless, although the performance in the last game was amazing, but he is not sure whether Jerry Sloan will Will give him another chance.

"Don't mind, this habit is not good." Li Shengli frowned.

During the ten-game suspension, the intensity of Crotty's training can only be described as terrifying, as if he was determined to train himself to death. Although he was like this before, after beating the Hornets, he attracted everyone's attention. Even Li Shengli, who has always boasted of training hard, also has a toothache.

He wants to get ahead!

People who work hard will never have bad luck.

Li Shengli can understand Crotty, and he is willing to help.

"Crotty, I'll talk to the coach in a while, maybe...the coach can let you play a first try. Anyway, Jeff Malone has gone to the Hornets, the Jazz's starting shooting guard, you have a chance."

"Thank you, Li!" Crotty couldn't hide his excitement, and he didn't refuse Li Shengli, and he couldn't refuse, "I don't need to start. If you can, give me 10 minutes, I only need... 10 minutes!"

"Just 10 minutes?"

"Yes, that's right."

"This time... is a bit short?" Li Shengli scratched his head, "Even if you are a substitute, it is very simple to request to play for 10 minutes. I don't need to say it at all, and based on your performance in the last game, it is not a big deal. .”

"No, the request you made with the coach is different from what I said..., very different!"

"Li, what I want is not just 10 minutes, I want the right to fire within these 10 minutes, I hope you can help me this time!" Crotty looked at Li Shengli sincerely.

a substitute?

Active fire within 10 minutes?

Unless it's garbage time, who will play like this for you?

You know, this time the opponent is the Spurs, a strong team in the Western Conference. They have a big lead and entered the garbage time, and there will be 10 minutes of garbage time. This difficulty is really a bit big.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

"Brother, you're a bit of a gamble. Put all your hopes on these 10 minutes. It's okay if you win the bet. If you mess up, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to hold your head up in the future." Li Shengli frowned, "It's still slow Come on slowly, I will try my best to get you more playing time?"

"No, I have to bet!" Crotty gritted her teeth and said.

It’s true that Jeff Malone is gone, but Jane Fuhenlis picked up the starter, and behind him is Tim Legler in the same position. A substitute who also wants to stand out, the ghost will give him a chance.

"This request is a bit difficult."

"It doesn't matter, the time can be less, as long as the shot can't restrict me!"

Li Shengli was really in trouble.

The most important thing to be a man is to put oneself in the right position. As a new Jazz player, even if he performed well and was valued by the coach, it is a bit too much for Jerry Sloan to make such a request.

As for Crotty.

Although he also knew that he was asking too much, but he also knew that...success is achieved by seizing every opportunity, and he is already hungry and thirsty.

"let me try?"

"Thank you!"

"Brother, you are so polite, I hate your thank you very much!" After finishing speaking, Li Shengli walked out of the room with his back turned, and Crotty's eyes became even more fanatical.

……

10 minute later.

Li Shengli went back to the room with a bitter face to meet Crotty, and Crotty looked at Li Shengli's expression, as if he had guessed the result, feeling a little disappointed.

"Li, it's okay, I can still wait!"

"Wait, the coach agreed." Li Shengli rolled his eyes, "Tsk, how should I put it, this is not a promise, it's just..."

"What is it?" Crotty was confused and didn't know whether Jerry Sloan agreed or not, "Li, tell me quickly."

"You can play, and it's okay to fire ten times, but the premise is... I have to complete his mission, which is considered as an exchange of your time."

"What mission?"

"Blow up Spurs center...David Robinson!"
