Chapter 1157

Back to back double play thunder, once again to suppress Durant, told people that he is the 07 session worthy of No.1.

By the way, I educated wesbrook. Besides, it's also very strange. No matter how much we played in the first two seasons, the jazz and the Rockets have always been the fourth or fifth in the West. The two teams can always meet each other in the playoffs. However, no matter how optimistic the Rockets are before the game and how they lead in the process, they will encounter all kinds of problems when they encounter the jazz, and then there is no such thing.

However, Rocket fans should be relieved this season, the Rockets are still the Rockets, playing in the top four in the west, the combination of Yao, Artest and McGrady had a good chemical reaction, the former two seasons by diss do not want Artest in the rockets and glow in the second spring, and has a good relationship with Yao, his presence also filled the rocket 3 vacancy However, the jazz is not the jazz. Now the jazz has fallen to the second half of the playoffs. Now the jazz is only eighth in the west, only one game behind the Mavericks and two games behind the sixth place Hornets. However, there is also the sun behind him, which is the western competition It's tragic.

In fact, the Jazz lineup has hardly changed from the previous seasons. The starting five have always been Deron, Boozer, brewer, Kirilenko and OKU, which are the best lineup preserved in the league in recent years. On the bench, rookie Millsap of the previous two years, as well as three-point battery Cornwall and hardcore Haplin, the coach is still Sloan, in November 7, 2008 After the victory between Utah and Oklahoma City Thunder, Sloan managed the Jazz team to win 1000 games. Sloan became the only coach in league history to lead the same team to win more than 1000 games.

According to reason, they should not be such a record. However, injuries have ruined their efforts of this season. The Jazz have suffered a lot since the beginning of the season. Deron Williams missed 13 of the first 15 games because of his ankle sprain in in the preseason, and immediately recuperated after his comeback with the Lakers, and Carlos Boozer was also absent due to a knee injury In half a season, the team only announced its comeback in the first two games, but it was in no condition. The degradation of Kirilenko and OKU made it difficult for them to walk, which also led to a sharp decline in their competitiveness.

Thanks to Millsap, Millsap can contribute 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, becoming the pillar of the Jazz interior.

But on the whole, the Jazz are no longer competitive this season.

On February 12, the whole team rushed from Los Angeles to Utah. This time, the charter flights of the Los Angeles Lakers were unprecedentedly full. Because of the schedule, all star players such as Jifeng and Kobe needed to fly directly to Phoenix after the game, so Jifeng took as many as five entourages, and Kobe was similar.

Jifeng is willing to fly again on the 14th, but as a signboard player in this all star game, the league has contacted James early to let Ji Feng go to Phoenix as soon as possible. There are still many activities waiting for Ji Feng to participate.

However, the Lakers attach great importance to this game, and Jackson is still studying the opponent's tactics on the plane. Of course, the main reason is that the Jazz are likely to be the first round opponents of the playoffs. Although the two teams already know it very well, the Laker who is determined to win the Championship will not miss any chance to understand the opponent, and the jazz with a healthy staff is still very difficult to deal with.

However, on the day of the game, the Jazz revealed that Boozer, who had just recovered from injury for two games, felt unwell in training, so he would be suspended from the game because of his injury. However, Kirilenko, the third position of the team, was also unable to play the game because of the cold.

The Jazz can only let Millsap and Cowell fight first.

Although the two men have great strength and have their own characteristics, the loss of Boozer will have a greater impact on the jazz than expected.

The most important thing is that Deron Boozer, the Jazz's survival, can't play the pick and roll. Millsap is more like a backside inside line. His pick and roll effect is very ordinary. Because he is not accurate in the middle shot and his breakthrough ability is not so good, the Jazz can only throw the ball into the inside line and let him chisel one by one.

But it didn't work for the Lakers. For Gasol and Bynum Millsap, they were very immature. Their height and weight were not dominant, and their skills were not good enough. Therefore, the Lakers easily cracked the play, and the Jazz scored only 18 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, he could only rely on Deron's singles to raise points for the jazz. However, Cowell made a three-point shot, but Jifeng never left him after that. The reason why Cowell's three-point was underestimated was that he only had the ability to shoot at fixed points and was trapped in his own confrontation ability. Once he was pressed, he would be very difficult to make a move.

So the Lakers also strangled the Jazz's outside line, and all the inside and outside lines were frustrated. The Jazz couldn't resist the attack of the Lakers. They lost 103-118 at home. The Lakers won three consecutive wins and ended all eight games before the all star game with 6-2 losses!
