I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 182

Hayward and Jefferson completed the pick-and-roll and successfully scored. Both of them extended their palms toward each other when they returned to defense.

It was also the first time these two guys interacted on the court.

"That's it, guys, get the lead."

Jerry Sloan also affirmed the cooperation between them in due course.

As an experienced head coach, Jerry Sloan understands that what he should do at this time should be to encourage and improve the enthusiasm of the entire team.

At the same time, because of Deron Williams' blatant challenge, Jerry Sloan needs the victory of this game to prove something. For example, even without Deron Williams, the Jazz have the ability to defeat their opponents, and the opponents they can defeat can still be the league's number one super team like the Mavericks.

"Everyone, get excited, let's get the score back before the end of the first half!"

With the help of Al Jefferson, Hayward has more and more sense of presence on the offensive end. Under his leadership, the Jazz gradually gained momentum. During this period, they even suppressed the Mavericks on the offensive end.

After Hayward made another goal, the Jazz were only 3 points away from the Mavericks.

Hayward's words at this time made all the Jazz players on the court full of enthusiasm.

"The players of the Jazz have light in their eyes!"

Bill Walton was a little surprised at the sudden increase in the morale of the Jazz. He could understand Hayward's brilliant performance when he first came on the court. As a high-ranking player, he was arrogant.

More importantly, Hayward not only performed well on his own, he also twisted the players on the Jazz team into one rope. Everyone is undoubtedly much more united than before.

Moreover, the Jazz players on the field all have light in their eyes!
With good strength and good leadership, Gordon Hayward proved that he deserves his pick.

At least that's how it was tonight!
"Dangdang!"

The motivated Jazz players were very successful against the Mavericks' defense this time.

The Mavericks missed the offense, and Carlisle immediately beckoned Jason Kidd to the front of the court.

Stevenson's defensive ability is very good, but his defensive advantage lies more in his strength on the perimeter and his tonnage, which allows him to play a good role against opponents who are explosive enough and good at physical contact, but when facing opponents with good footwork and speed, his shortcoming of slow footsteps is highlighted.

Another reason is that Stevenson's awareness of pick-and-roll defense is not enough, which also makes Hayward and Jefferson cooperate frequently. According to the situation on the court, Jefferson and Hayward's pick-and-roll cooperation is not proficient, and Jefferson can be avoided by judging in advance.

Compared with him, Lin Yang is undoubtedly a better candidate to face Hayward.

So Jason Kidd got to play!
What Carlisle wants to come up with is the ace backcourt "Linkie" combination!
"Shh!"

After all, Hayward is a League of Legends player, and he knows what it means to catch a weak point and hit hard!

He obviously felt that Stevenson was a little tired when facing him, so this time he called Jefferson to cooperate with him in the pick-and-roll. When Lin Yang made up for it, he jumped up and passed the ball to Jefferson who was going down the line. Unfortunately, the latter didn't get up the first time and was successfully stuck by Nowitzki. However, the former "Wolf King" Al Jefferson was not an insider who only lived by eating cakes. Basket hit.

Speaking of this era, the first reaction of most fans is "this is an era of withering insiders"!
It used to be a must-have low-post singles method for every insider. In this era, more and more insiders can only eat cakes and defend!

Among the few remaining post players who can play low post, Al Jefferson is rarely mentioned, but in fact, his low post ability is at least the top five in this league.

This ball is the best proof!

"Nice!"

Hayward ran to high-five Jefferson.

Jerry Sloan couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the harmony between these two guys. This was the scene they hoped to see when they introduced Al Jefferson. Of course, it wasn't Jefferson and Hayward, but Jefferson and Deron Williams.I didn't expect Deron Williams to have such a big change in mentality after Boozer left this season, and there has been no phone call between him and Jefferson.

This is why this transaction will fail!
It's just that Jerry Sloan didn't expect that this transaction that was considered to have failed saw new possibilities tonight.

Hayward and Jefferson are likely to become the "third-generation Utah Shuangsha" in Salt Lake City!
Jerry Sloan hoped so.

There is only one point left!
The entire Airline Arena fell silent unconsciously, and the Mavericks fans in the auditorium became nervous at this moment. Originally, when Deron Williams left the field, they thought the game would be a one-sided situation, and the Mavericks would directly score a wave to determine their victory tonight.

But none of them expected that the Jazz would play better as a team without Deron, especially under the leadership of the core player Gordon Hayward, this team actually completed chasing points!
"OK, don't be nervous, everyone, we are still leading the score, stay patient, guys!"

Fortunately, the Mavericks adjusted the players on the court in time, put Kidd on the court, and also adjusted Lin Yang to the 2nd position. The backcourt of the two "Linkie" partners is the guarantee of victory in the hearts of Mavericks fans. It is also seeing Kidd on the court, Lin Yang is still on the court, and the Dallas fans in the field once again eliminated the tension in their hearts.

"Lin and Gordon match up!"

The commentary seat of ESPN also became excited after this substitution. Lin Yang was changed to the second position, and what he will face next is Gordon Hayward.

In other words, the two heroes of Butler University's championship in March this year are about to start their first matchup in the NBA, as opponents!

"Gordon, I think your performance is over!" Lin Yang looked at the familiar face in front of him, and cursed trash talk with ease.

"Tch, that's not necessarily the case!" Hayward's eyes were also full of fighting spirit!
