I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 120 118. Head Coach

[Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the first lore in his career, and the vertical bounce increased by 3 cm]

Chen Long didn't expect that there would be a reward for lore.

But it will not be easy to get lore rewards in the future, because you don't need to shoot lore shots at all because you often check in three quarters.

"This is a pity that the ability to lead the team is too strong..." Chen Long sighed.

It's not that the Bulls are unique in strength, but that the opponents always have strange situations against the top teams in the league these few times, which is enough to prove that luck is also a kind of strength.

The bulls and bulls rushed to Utah non-stop.

At the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, the steep fan stand is like a deep well. Players will feel extremely depressed when looking from the bottom up. This is also the famous Devil's home stadium.

The Utahs had prepared a 14-1 billboard early on, and every fan's face was full of honeyed confidence, as if the Jazz's victory over the Bulls was like a new year?
The old Utah Shuangsha appeared on the sidelines together, with the remnants of being defeated by the Bulls twice in the finals, and helped the new Utah Shuangsha to avenge the new Bulls!

However, Jerry Sloan put both Boozer and Deron chubby on today's watch list, and the new Utah Shuangsha will not fight at all.

Boozer's injury is not normal, but Deron appeared in the pre-match warm-up as early as the beginning of the month but has not appeared for a long time.

The audience in Salt Lake City thought that Sloan would let Xiaopang play to end the Bulls' winning streak. Now it seems that Jerry Sloan does not seem to value the outcome of this game.

In fact, after the Bulls defeated the Nuggets, Jerry Sloan led his coaching staff to analyze the data of the Bulls and others all night, and found that it was not easy for them to win.

Therefore, the old coach Sloan denied the Deron comeback plan proposed by the trainer, and it is too risky for the chubby to play against Rose rashly.

Vinidnagro was slightly relieved to see the Jazz lineup.

The hardest part has come to this streak.

If the Jazz play all the main players, Pooh will definitely hesitate to fight, but now, the Jazz has lost the two cores inside and outside, as long as the Gemini plays normally, there will be no problem.

The two sides started the field.

The Jazz at home sent center Mehmet Okur, power forward Paul Millsap, small forward CJ Myers, shooting guard Ronnie Brewer and point guard Ronnie Price.

Seeing these five people, the applause from the audience in Salt Lake City was sparse.

Karl Malone whispered to John Stockton, "Hey man, we both play better than those two rookies now."

The mild-mannered Stockton sneered and asked, "Do you think Carlos and Deron are better than us?"

Hearing what his old partner said, Ma Long covered his mouth and laughed, wanting to be more mean-spirited. He didn't even have half of Stockton's...

The Bulls started with center Tyrus Thomas, power forward Sean Marion, small forward Chen Long, shooting guard Daequan Cook and point guard Derrick Rose.

Vinidnagro wanted to ensure that the Bulls could quickly establish a lead, so they formed a smaller lineup with a smoother attack.

Jerry Sloan stared at Chen Long coldly. He didn't believe that there would be another Jordan in the basketball world. What Kobe couldn't do, how could it be possible for an Asian boy?

Sensing that Jerry Sloan had no good intentions, Chen Long immediately made a provocative "I'm looking at you" gesture towards him!

"Wow, Aaron is so brave!" Deron Williams, who was sitting on the bench in a suit, snickered.

Delong didn't like this strict old man, so when he saw Chen Long provoking Sloan, Fatty didn't get angry, but rather gloated.

As for Carlos Boozer on the side, silently biting the barb of his finger.

"When will I be in charge of New York..."

Boozer is in the future of YY going to the New York Knicks to make a lot of money by himself, and he is completely in no mood to pay attention to the coach being provoked.

The New Utah Shuangsha, one rebellious and the other a rebellious boy, with this configuration, the Jazz will always be a pseudo-strong team.

After the two main players were injured, although their record is 9 wins and 5 losses, the first half of the schedule is very friendly to the Jazz. The real test is in the second half. Whether the Jazz can make the playoffs is still unknown...

At the start of the game, Okur jumped to the ball.

Ronnie Price held down the rhythm after receiving the ball.

Jerry Sloan's tactic is to press, hit, chase, and release to increase the success rate and not give the Bulls a chance to counterattack. The slower the pace, the better.

Paul Millsap and Ronnie Brewer are both young, and Jerry Sloan surprised many in 06 by giving them a chance.

Now, Millsap has the appearance of a star on both ends of the offense and defense. Although Ronnie Brewer has not overcome his shooting defects, he has also become a qualified perimeter defender.

As for the strength of this Jazz team is center Okur.

The 2-meter-tall Turk can go both inside and out. He won the O'Brien Cup with the Detroit Pistons in 11. He was an All-Star last year. Without Deron and Boozer, Okur's possession of the ball ranks first in the team. .

Ronnie Price hit a pick-and-roll with Millsap.

Millsap slid down, Price passed the ball, and Okur responded on the flank.

The Bulls' defense shrinks, and Millsap gives Okur again.

Tyrus Thomas' defense was insufficient, and Okur hit an open jumper.

As the ancestor of pick-and-roll tactics, Jerry Sloan has this skill whether he is the main force of the Jazz or a substitute.

Vinidnagro only arranged defensive tactics for the players on the bus. Of course, players of Tyrus' level cannot be expected to absorb them all.

However, the Bulls still have a coach on the court, and that is Chen Long!
After Tyrus was out of position, Chen Long took his arm and drew Okur's running ideas in the air, and then said, "Memet Okur's offensive methods seem to be rich, but as long as he is forced to the outside line, it will be fine. gone."

As a center in the power forward style, Okur often floats outside, which is not a good habit, especially since the Jazz do not have a height advantage now.

Instead of accusations and abuse, he patiently explained that Tyrus Thomas was convinced by the boss of the team like Chen Long.

Sean Marion also saw Steve Nash from Chen Long.

It is better to convince people with reason than with violence.

And Chen Long also has a violent side.

However, he will only show his violent side to his opponents!

That's why the Bulls are so cohesive.

The Jazz are playing slowly, but the Bulls are picking up speed.

Before halftime, Chen Long first passed Paul Millsap, who was retreating quickly, with the ball, and then met Mehmet Okur in the high post.

The Jazz's two insiders double-teamed Chen Long one after the other, and CJ Myers and Ronnie Price waited for an opportunity from the side!

Jerry Sloan thought to himself, what would Chen Long do with such a defensive intensity?
All of a sudden, Tyrus Thomas completed a fast down, and Chen Long feinted a shot to Tyrus, and the latter dunked with both hands after catching the ball!

No one would have thought that the Bulls' first offense would be ended by a role center. Chen Long fooled the entire Jazz's defense!
Pooh said with emotion, "As a coach on the field, Chen Long's magic lies in his ability to make everyone on the team better! This is a very rare trait!"
