Chapter 719 Jazz visits
In mid-December, the Timberwolves lost another game against the old rival Pistons.

That night, Bai Jidong was in a slump, scoring only 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He looked like a veteran who had no desire and no ball.

"If the White Wolves continue to play like this, the Timberwolves have a good chance to draw the No. [-] pick and select Derrick Rose."

This is Bill Simmons' evaluation of Bai Jidong's performance that night.

"White Wolf, do you have anything to say about tonight's performance?" the reporter asked.

"It's my fault, I didn't play aggressively." Bai Jidong replied mechanically with no expression on his face.

"Chauncey Billups said after the game that the White Wolf is dead, what do you think?"

"I know he's joking, he likes joking." Bai Jidong didn't respond directly to Billups' provocation.

After a while, a reporter took out a candid photo, "A paparazzi photographed you leaving a hospital in California and visiting a woman. Who is she? What is your relationship?"

Bai Jidong became inexplicably angry, "No matter what the relationship is, it has nothing to do with your mother!"

After saying this, Bai Jidong ended the press conference early, and he will be fined [-] US dollars for this incident.

"White Wolf, are you alright?" The team's PR saw something wrong with him.

Bai Jidong tried his best to calm down his emotions, "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

In the locker room, most of his teammates had already left, Bai Jidong entered inside looking haggard, chatting with the people around him.

"White Wolf, there are many things to discuss tonight." Hardaway said.

Ukic was absent due to a cold, so Hardaway played a lot of time, but the effect was mediocre, and his play was so bad that Spanoulis played 37 minutes.

"Okay, then go back and rest early." Hardaway didn't say much, and patted Bai Jidong's shoulder lightly.

Bai Jidong lowered his head, he was very depressed.

He hated himself for being like this, the reporter's question pierced his pain point, and Hoss' question ignited his unknown fire.

"Boss, Sumi is pregnant." Vashabek came over and said.

Bai Jidong was taken aback, and couldn't help being happy for Vashabek, "This is the best news today, congratulations, Bonu!"

"It's a pity that I can't go back with a victory and give it to her." Vashabek's tone was a bit regretful. Bai Jidong was in a downturn, and his hand feeling was not good. He scored 9 points in 2 of 6 games.

Bai Jidong felt very tired and went home directly.

"Go to bed early." Chu Meng said.

When I woke up, there was another game at night.

In order to avoid a losing streak, Bai Jidong had to use all his strength to deal with it, and their opponent was the Utah Jazz, a powerhouse in the west.

The Jazz are aggressive this season. They are sitting on many All-Star players and a high-quality substitute.

Yi Jianlian jumped to the ball for the Timberwolves.

Tonight Ukic continued to be absent due to a cold. Spanoulis started and was in possession of the ball. After halftime, he directed other teammates to move.

Yi Jianlian and Spanoulis have a high pick-and-roll, two threatening shooters sink to the corners on both sides, attack or pass-two or three points is up to Spanoulis himself.

After the pick-and-roll, the containment of Bai Jidong and Vasha Baker prevented the Jazz's corner players from shrinking too tightly.

Boozer helped defend Yi Jianlian, but the position was awkward. He missed Spanoulis and did not block Yi Jianlian's downward route.

Yi Jianlian made an empty dunk.

A very simple attack, because the right choice of the offensive side and the wrong decision of the defensive side make it all look so sensual.

"Strike, Yi!" shouted Spanoulis.Yi Jianlian yelled to vent his emotions, and then gave Spanoulis a high-five.

Bai Jidong secretly said yes, and then returned to defense.

The Jazz's lineup is very strong, combining height, speed, and athletic ability.

In this lineup, the shortest person is Deron Williams at 191 cm.

Bai Jidong's opponent, Ronnie Brewer, is a two-meter point forward, but this is a thing from college days.In college he could control the pace of the game, defend three positions, play well with his teammates and fill every column in the stats.

The Jazz's cooperation is very sophisticated, probably because the coach is Sloan, their pick-and-roll cooperation is simply a replica of the classic pick-and-roll of Utah Shuangsha.

Boozer's pick-and-roll Malone is more flexible, but his scoring is not as stable as Malone.

Cooperating with Deron in a pick-and-roll, Boozer went down, and Deron was like Stockton back then, sending out the ball and assisting Boozer to attack the basket directly.

In order to defend the rim, Yi Jianlian made a foul, but ultimately failed to stop Boozer from raging around the rim.

Boozer's offense overwhelmed Yi Jianlian's defense, causing him to score directly after fouling, "You rookie is so fucking useless!"

Yi Jianlian is not a good man and a believer. Boozer has to humiliate him after winning the game. Can this be tolerated?Immediately, he was about to go up and mess with him, but Vashabek quickly ran over and pulled him away, "Calm down!"

"China Yi needs to calm down. It is normal for a rookie to be educated by a veteran. He must get used to it." Mike Breen said.

Weber said with a smile: "Most young people are full of blood and are more impulsive. It is understandable for him to do this. We have all been young."

Vashabek never imagined that he would have the opportunity to try to persuade the fight.Yi Jianlian's anger was suppressed by him. After all, he is a newcomer, and everyone has persuaded him like this, so what can he do?

"Without the white wolf, you are nothing. A softie like you can only survive under the wings of others. I heard that you played one-on-one against a chair during your trial training, right?" Boozer went crazy Taunting Yi Jianlian.

Boozer added a free throw and hit a jackpot for the Jazz.

In the high position, Yi Jianlian took Deron away with a pick-and-roll, and Spanoulis saw the need for it, and gave it to Joe Smith, who was open at the basket.

Smith was about to make a layup when Kirilenko flew over, covered Smith's head with one hand, and covered his ball.

Then there was the Jazz's counterattack, and Deron pushed the counterattack in front alone.

Bai Jidong quickly retreated to the backcourt. His existence made Delong very afraid. As long as he was there, the success rate of a single counterattack was very low.

Delong was not afraid, he wanted to challenge Bai Jidong just like everyone else.

Suddenly, the rhythm changed, and Deron was like a drunk snake. He spun around with a few steps, swayed Bai Jidong's defense, and scored a layup.

"Deron Williams can do anything!"

"Yes, Deron's combination of size, skill and athleticism allows him to impact the game in more ways than any player of his generation."

After scoring this goal, Deron was more excited than the audience, and shouted at Bai Jidong: "White Wolf, your era is over!"

Bai Jidong went to the low position, Brewer was nervous, afraid that Bai Jidong would make a strong attack.

Brewer has all the physical tools a defense needs.He's very athletic, very fast, has great start-up speed and jumping ability, excellent body control and very good overall speed.There is also good size and strength, which allows him to play the 1-3 position.He has great wingspan and big, dexterous hands, which also allow him to complete several steals per game.He looks like he can run all day long and never tire.

However, he has no strength. Once he encounters a strong opponent with a back attack, he will only suffer.

A few days ago, Kobe just scored 48 points against the Jazz on him.

"You seem to be very afraid of back-slapping. If I don't back-slap you, how can you make you pay attention to your own problems? So I have to back-slap you now."

Bai Weidong said indifferently, turning his back to get a position, catching the ball, leaving Brewer aside with a feint, turning back gracefully like a flower and making a hit.

"Your back defense skills are not good enough. It seems that I can hit a few more times. It's so easy and it's not for nothing." Bai Jidong said with a smile.

Brewer was almost desperate when he heard this, and if this continues, the entire league will deal with his problem, and he will be a loophole on the court.

Brewer realized the seriousness of the problem, and he wanted to change, but it took time, and increasing strength did not happen overnight.

When it was the Jazz's turn to attack, the Timberwolves' defense was in full swing, and the perimeter defense was still as strong as steel, leaving no gaps or machine space.

Deron had to rely on his own personal ability to open the singles. The single defense happened to be the biggest problem for Spanoulis, and there was no inside defense like Garnett behind him, so this problem was even more prominent.

If Deron's mid-range and long-range shots can be stabilized, he will be the top three defenders in active service.

Spanoulis' defense was torn apart by Deron's back and forth attacking rhythm, like a poisonous snake in a dormant bush, the moment the prey slackened, it was the moment to open its bloody mouth to kill the prey.

The Greek's center of gravity ended in a never-ending rhythm change. Deron stepped forward, stopped the jumper at the free throw line, and made a steady shot.

"Deron Williams probably has the best dribbling ability in the league, and he uses a lot of changes of direction and footwork with the ball in offense and positional warfare."

"Yes, the offense just now is the most typical Deron Williams-style offense."

"Deron attacks with all kinds of dribbles. He likes the classic cross-over dribble. Let the opponent take a big right shoulder shake, and then quickly disguise the ball from the right hand to the left hand. Usually this way The move can easily hold the defense, and after this move, another disguise from left to right can give him room for a pull-up jumper."

"However, the Greek just didn't stick to the end, and Deron ended him."

"Vassiris' ankle, rest in peace,"
