Chapter 86 Salt Lake City Twin Stars Shine
"Ann, welcome to Salt Lake City, do you want me, as the host, to take you to enjoy the scenery of Salt Lake City." After checking into the hotel, he received a call from Gordon Hayward.

"I don't have so much time, Gordon, after this game, we have enough time to enjoy the various scenery of this city, but before that, I have to beat you in the game first. "Anson rejected Gordon Hayward's invitation. In this game, he came with the confidence to win, and he will never show mercy.

The Jazz's home court is the same as Denver where the Nuggets were last time. It is located on a plateau over a kilometer, but they have the experience of the last time. This time they came to Salt Lake City. The Clippers were fully prepared. Do a little adaptive training, and the real strength should be left to face the Jazz at night.

The night in Salt Lake City near Christmas is a bit cold, which makes the attendance rate of the Wiinter Smart Home Arena tonight not very good, but this team has been led by the old coach Jerry Sloan for 22 years. For a long time, he is more like the soul of this team than the Utah Shuangsha back then or recently.

Although the Jazz's starting lineup is not as good as in previous years, it is still strong now. Gordon Hayward still has not competed with Andrei Kirilenko, the template that Anson just entered the league. He is still on the Jazz's bench sit on the table.

Point guard: Deron Williams, shooting guard: Raja Bell, small forward Andrei Kirilenko, power forward Paul Millsap who pushed Carlos Boozer away, center It was Al Jefferson, who was traded from the Timberwolves for two first-round picks and Costa Koufos this year.

When the Jazz just completed this series of transactions, most of the media almost believed that the Jazz could continue to make the playoffs this season, even better than when Carlos Boozer was still in the Jazz. good.

The game has only just begun, and the team that is the first to play a good rhythm is the Clippers, who are determined to end their away losing streak in the fifth game of their six-game streak.

Blake Griffin was the first to attack. Facing Paul Millsap, who is also not a big power forward, he played unexpectedly aggressively. This kind of aggressiveness started from the first second of the game. It showed up.

Jordan's height and wingspan have a great advantage when jumping the ball, and he gave the ball to Eric Bledsoe first.

The pace is fast, and Eric Bledsoe has a feeling of stupefiedness that the other two first-year rookies in the Clippers can't feel.

A very quick transition allowed Eric Bledsoe to leave the All-Star point guard behind Deron Williams in the first place.

Of course, other Jazz players are not slow to respond, especially Andrei Kirilenko. In the history of the NBA, only 7 people have played 5X5 data, and only Hakeem Olajuwon and him have won. more than two such data.

It can be seen from this that he is definitely a master of steals and blocks.Although he is old and no longer at his peak, his defense is timely.

Under the cover of Andrei Kirilenko's height and wingspan, his drop shot completely missed the sight, and was touched between his fingers, and the basketball didn't even touch the frame. green consequences.

When Paul Millsap was about to take off the rebound easily, Blake Griffin behind him didn't plan to play the Jazz amicably at the beginning.

He took off the rebound directly on Paul Millsap's head and completed the supplementary dunk. This dunk made the Jazz fans who were not many in the Wiinter Smart Home Arena booed a little dissatisfied.

This season, the Jazz let go of Carlos Boozer, who formed the new Utah Shuangsha with Deron Williams in 07 and led the Jazz to the Western Conference Finals, and chose to strengthen Paul Millsap.

However, judging from his performance this season, his performance has not yet reached the level of an All-Star, and he even looks a little sloppy on the court occasionally. It can be seen from the very beginning that he is serious about this game. The degree of concentration is not enough.

This goal did not keep him alert. Andrei Kirilenko, who had just served as a template and showed his skills on the defensive end, aroused Anson's desire.

Paul Millsap singled out Blake Griffin in the elbow area. His basic skills are very solid. Although he is not as jumping and running as Blake Griffin, this turn fully shows that he is off the floor. Streaming style of play.

Blake Griffin was completely left behind by him, and Jordan Jr. was completely stuck by Al Jefferson.In his eyes, this is an excellent opportunity, and there is a layup about two meters away from the basket.

However, there is no one in front of him, but it does not mean that he will not block shots. In front of an opponent full of physical talents, never worry about what is behind you. An Sheng immediately filled the position when he turned his back. Compared with An Sheng, Blake Griffin's defense definitely needs the Clippers to wipe his ass, and Anson, who has a camera system, will always put part of his attention on the hands of the ball holder.

The ball was not a peg board, but directly slapped into the hands of Blake Griffin who turned his head. Blake Griffin, who was just passed by, did not expect to receive such a big gift package , Good game literacy prevented him from wondering how the ball was defended by An Sheng, and directly launched a fast break immediately.

Andrei Kirilenko's pursuit was effective, but the Clippers' group of players was like a wolf, and Eric Bledsoe and Randy Foye's quick follow-up made their matchups The players were a little confused for the first time, and such a fast break is already commonplace for this group of Clippers players.

Three-on-one, as long as they don't make any major mistakes in the pass, even a player like Andrei Kirilenko will have a hard time preventing this score, which was finally ended by another dunk by Blake Griffin, and at the same time At the same time, it also caused a foul by Deron Williams, who was late to defend from behind, and scored 2+1.

The game only lasted 5 minutes, but the Jazz at home were behind by a big score, 7:16, and the most important reason for the score was that Blake Griffin scored 7 points on 5 of 12 shots. Anson has already sent a block and a steal on the defensive end.I have to say that from tonight until now, in the Wilt Smart Home Arena, the Clippers' twin stars are shining.
