I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 166 Jerry Sloan's Embarrassment

On the second day of this turmoil, the Jazz happened to have a game, which was their last game before Christmas. Lin Yang went to the arena to train in advance, and then returned home before 6 o'clock, holding a glass of vegetable juice, waiting for the start of the game.

The Jazz is playing against the Rockets at home. If it's only on paper, the Rockets without Yao Ming are definitely no match for the Jazz. Even though the Jazz haven't been able to match the strength they should have on paper, it shouldn't be a problem to win the Rockets.

After all, no matter how hard the Rockets are, it can't change the fact that they can't deal with Deron Williams and Al Jefferson.

However, for the fans in this game, the focus of attention is naturally not on the outcome of the game. Their focus is on Gordon Hayward, who was dissed by ESPN reporter Wadi De.

Of course, there are still some fans who want to see if Gordon Hayward is really as bad as Wadid said.

ESPN, which broadcast the game, also knows very well who the current public opinion is on. During the pre-match preparations for the two teams, Gordon Hayward has been given the camera several times.

Lin Yang was surprised to find that Hayward was warming up with the main players today.

There are also many rules in the warm-up before the game in the NBA. The last warm-up time before the game definitely belongs to the main players and players in the main rotation. Hayward can play with the main players, which means that Hayward will not be less.

"The old man is still a bit human!"

Lin Yang thought that Jerry Sloan knew about Hayward being ridiculed online, so he specially arranged more time for Hayward today.

This also made Lin Yang full of expectations for today's game.

He believes that Hayward, who has enough playing time, can definitely perform better.

Besides, as far as he knows Hayward, although he likes to play e-sports games, his training during this period has not lagged behind at all, and his ability is definitely better than when he just participated in the draft!

As for Hayward, who just participated in the draft, in Lin Yang's opinion, his strength is definitely at the NBA level.

Lin Yang is really looking forward to it. He wants to see how the current Hayward Derby has improved compared to before.

At the beginning of the game, the Jazz quickly took the lead 8-2 under the play of Deron and Jefferson.

But just when the Salt Lake City home fans thought the Jazz would easily win the game tonight, the Rockets suddenly rushed to catch up. About 8 minutes into the first quarter, the Rockets overtook the Jazz 23-20.

During this period of time, there was no connection between Deron Williams and Jefferson. They each played singles, and the Rockets double-teamed the two of them completely. Their efficiency declined, and the rhythm of the game was gradually controlled by the Rockets.

"Gordon, you go!"

Jerry Sloan made a substitution. This was the Jazz's first substitution in this game. Hayward was actually replaced directly. When Hayward was called by his name, his expression was not the slightest surprise. It can be seen that he has already been notified and will play early today.

"Wow!"

"Appreciate~"

When Hayward came on the court, there were boos and cheers of different sizes, mixed together, and it was hard to tell which sound was louder for a while.

Salt Lake City fans are currently divided into two attitudes, one is disappointed with Hayward, and the other is still confident in Hayward.

Lin Yang was also refreshed with Hayward playing. For a player of his style, it is really hard for him to watch two star players take turns in singles.

Even from Lin Yang's point of view, Jerry Sloan seems to have lost control of this team.

There is one detail that supports Lin Yang's point of view: Jerry Sloan pointed at his suit several times during the game and wanted to play a tactic, but every time Deron pointed to his suit at Jerry Sloan, he ended the offense with his own singles.

If what Jerry Sloan asked was indeed Deron's singles with the ball, it is said that Jerry Sloan does not need to signal so frequently...

Of course, this is just Lin Yang's personal guess. He doesn't know what Jerry Sloan said his suit represents in the Jazz, maybe it's not tactics.

Lin Yang didn't continue to struggle with this problem, Hayward had already played, and his attention was completely focused on Hayward.

"Running is more efficient than before!"

The first round Hayward came up to participate in was the offense. When Deron ran to the frontcourt, he immediately slid down to the bottom corner. While the defender followed, he successfully got rid of the defender with a counterrun after a momentary pause, and ran outside the original three-point line again.

The whole movement can be said to be a textbook-style teaching of running without the ball.

With just such an action, Lin Yang knew that Hayward had really grown up again!

In his opinion, Deron Williams should have noticed that Hayward ran out of space in the next second and gave the ball to the latter, and then Hayward made a three-pointer from the outside and easily scored a three-pointer!

Lin Yang only played against Deron once in the preseason. At that time, he didn't have a good impression of Deron. He looked arrogant, but as the only man in the league who can beat Chris Paul, Lin Yang recognized the level of this guy!This kind of passing cooperation is definitely not difficult for him.

Can……

What Lin Yang didn't expect was that Hayward ran out of the open space, but the ball did not come out of Deron's hands. Lin Yang just watched Hayward's open space gradually disappear, and he was entangled again.

"Why didn't this spread?"

Lin Yang looked at Deron Williams who was still dribbling with the ball in place, with a look of incomprehension on his face.

He suddenly remembered that such a situation had occurred in that preseason game. This guy deliberately did not pass the ball to Hayward, wasting several good opportunities.

Originally, he thought that Hayward had just entered the team, and Deron, as the big brother, was giving lessons to the rookies. This is also understandable. Veterans usually use some methods to establish their prestige.

But what he didn't expect was that the regular season has been played for almost two months, and this guy still treats Hayward like this. This is no longer a question of whether to attend class or not.

This guy!
Lin Yang's face sank, looking at Delong, how did he feel disgusted!

What Lin Yang didn't know was that Jerry Sloan on the sidelines was also frowning at the moment.

This bastard is ignoring me less and less!

The Jazz's record this season has not been very good. The chemical reaction between Al Jefferson and Deron Williams has not been able to run in, and he is also looking for an opportunity to change.

The first thing he thought of was Gordon Hayward. He was very impressed with this year's No. 8 pick. Although he doesn't have any outstanding advantages, he is very balanced in all aspects and is a good seed that can be cultivated.

So before the start of this game, he specially found Deron Williams to communicate, so that he could help Gordon Hayward more and let him grow as soon as possible.

Although Deron didn't speak at that time, his character has always been like that, he would not answer what he said, but he could listen to it every time in the past, and Sloan thought she listened to it this time.

Unexpectedly!

This guy actually took his words as a deaf ear.

Moreover, Hayward was so obviously ignored.

What a gap!With the ability of Deron Williams, it is impossible for him not to see it.

What's more, the Jazz have always focused on the linkage between the first, second and fourth positions. When the fourth position has no chance, the first position with the ball should pay attention to the second position first.

This guy!
Jerry Sloan felt that he couldn't help but want to go crazy, but in the end he still didn't have a fit. He suddenly found himself old, so old that if he still had the chance, he would solve it in private.
