Son of God in the Madness of Basketball

Back-to-back double killing Thunder, once again pressing Durant, telling people that he is the well-deserved NO.1 of the 2007 session.

By the way, a wave of Westbrook was educated. In addition to playing in the first half of the first game, Westbrook's two games were completely exploded by Ji Feng. In the second game, he only got 10 points and 2 assists. The shooting rate is only 30% embarrassing. He made 0 of 4 three-pointers. He was also blocked. In addition, there were 8 turnovers and 5 fouls. This performance is definitely a disaster. Rao is the heart of Westbrook. I feel that my performance is really bad.

However, Westbrook was also a bachelor. He did not continue to post rhetoric after the game like the guy in Beasley, but simply admitted his shortcomings. He directly said in the interview after the game: "Yes, I am not yet a season. Feng ’s opponent is really enough to play against him, but I will also remember today ’s defeat, which is also my motivation for continuous improvement. "

In this way, it seems that Westbrook's development prospects are greater than anyone else's optimistic Beasley, because in addition to talent, the brain is obviously also very important. Those who can see their own shortcomings will definitely think more than the whole day. The development is better.

After these two games, Ji Feng also completed the killing of the top four of this rookie, and other high-ranking rookies have countless pages in Ji Feng's hands, so ESPN calls him well deserved. Rookie killer.

More importantly, the Lakers have achieved two consecutive victories. This season's record came to 45 wins and 4 losses, basically confirming that it surpassed the Bulls' best record in the first 50 games of the year.

Before the All-Star Game, the Lakers had only one last opponent, the old acquaintance of Chinese fans, the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz have been a Western powerhouse since Deron joined the team. In the past two years, they have reached the second round of the playoffs. They have also reached the Western Conference finals. Of course, this promotion process is definitely hated by all Chinese fans. Because basically every time I met the Rockets in the first round, and then successfully eliminated the Houston Rockets in 6-7 games, Dayao is still the holder of the playoff round of the medal.

It is also very strange that no matter how you played in the first two seasons, the Jazz and the Rockets have been the fourth or fifth in the West. The two teams can always meet in the playoffs, no matter how optimistic the Rockets are before the game and how they lead in the process. When encountering jazz, there will be various problems, and then there will be no more.

However, the Rockets fans should be assured this season. The Rockets are still the Rockets. They are still in the top four in the West. The combination of Dayao, Artest and McGrady has had a very good chemical reaction. Unnecessary Artest renewed his second spring with the Rockets and had an excellent relationship with Dayao. His presence also filled the vacancies on the Rockets '3rd position, and the Rockets' 3rd position jumped to the top of the league.

But the Jazz is not that jazz. Now that the Jazz has fallen to the second half of the playoff team, it is only ranked eighth in the Western Conference at this moment, but it is only one win behind the Mavericks before and sixth behind. The Hornets have 2 wins, but behind him there is also the sun catching up. This is the west, and the competition is fierce.

In fact, the Jazz lineup has barely changed from the previous seasons. The starting five have been Deron, Boozer, Brewer, Kirilenko and Okur. This is the best lineup the league has saved in recent years. The rookie Millsap from the previous two years also appeared on the bench, as well as the three-point fort Korver and the tough guy Haplin. The head coach is still Sloan. On November 7, 2008, the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma After the Homer Thunder won the game, Sloan coached the jazz team to win the 1,000th victory, so Sloan became the only coach in the history of the league to lead the same team to achieve more than 1,000 victories.

It stands to reason that they shouldn't be such a record. However, the injury ruined their efforts this season. The Jazz suffered from the beginning of the season. Deron Williams missed the top 15 because of an ankle sprain in the preseason. In 13 of the games, the Lakers relapsed again immediately after the comeback, and Carlos Boozer also missed the team's half-season game because of a knee injury. He announced the comeback in the first two games, but There is no state at all, and the degradation of Kirilenko and Oku makes them struggling, which also makes them a sharp decline in competitiveness.

Fortunately, there is Millsap, who can now average 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, becoming the backbone of the Jazz inside.

But overall the Jazz this season are not very competitive anymore.

On February 12, the Lakers rushed from Los Angeles to Utah. This time the Lakers ’charter flight was unprecedentedly full. Because of the schedule, players such as Ji Feng and Kobe participating in the All-Star game need to play directly after the game. Fly to Phoenix, so like Ji Feng brought up to 5 entourage, Kobe is similar.

Ji Feng had the intention to fly over on the 14th, but as the signing player in this All-Star Game, the league contacted James early to let Ji Feng rush 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 the Zen Master is still studying the tactics of his opponents on the plane. The main reason is that the Jazz is very likely to be the opponent of the first round of the Lakers playoffs ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Although the two teams have already I know very well, but the Lakers who are determined to win the championship will naturally not miss any opportunity to understand their opponents, and the healthy Jazz are still difficult to deal with.

However, on the day of the game, the Jazz broke the news. Boozer, who had just recovered from the injury and came back for two games, felt uncomfortable during the training, so he would stay out of the game due to injury, and the third position of the team, Kirilenko, felt cold. The same cannot be played in this game.

The two generals were folded before the battle. The Jazz game only allowed Millsap and Korver to fight first.

Although these two men have good strengths and their own characteristics, the impact of losing Boozer on the Jazz is much greater than expected.

The most important thing is that the Deron Boozer that the Jazz depends on can't play the pick and roll. Millsap is more like a back inside. His effect of playing the pick and roll is very general, because he is not allowed to shoot, and his breakthrough ability It's also average, so the Jazz can only throw the ball inside to let him go one by one.

But it does n’t work for the Lakers. It looks very immature to Gasol and Bynum Millsap. The height and weight are not dominant, and the skills are not good enough, so the Lakers easily cracked this play. Jazz first Only 18 points were scored in one section.

In the second quarter, he could only rely on Deron's singles to increase the score for the Jazz. Korver scored a three-pointer, but after that, Ji Feng kept pace with him. The reason why Korver's three-pointer was underestimated It is because he only has the ability to shoot at a fixed point and is trapped in his own confrontation ability. Once he encounters pressing, it is difficult for him to shoot.

Therefore, the Lakers also strangled the Jazz's outside line. The inside and outside lines were frustrated. The Jazz was unable to resist the Lakers' offensive. The home team lost 103-118 at home. The Lakers won three consecutive victories and ended all pre-All-Star games with 6 wins and 2 losses. 8 games!
