The Jazz and Clippers have met four times in the regular season this season, with the Clippers holding a three-one advantage.

Before the start of the game, in the Clippers' away locker room, Dunleavy Sr. repeatedly emphasized to the players: "Protect our rebounds, reduce their secondary offense as much as possible, the Rockets just lose on rebounds, this is the most important point." ”

Ji Guo smiled shamefully: "Coach, the Rockets can't protect the backcourt rebounds without Yao Ming, and my brother and I promise to kill that Boozer like in the regular season!" ”

"You'd better do what you say." Dunleavy Sr. glanced at him, of course there will be no one more thing to deal with the Jazz, Dunleavy Sr. turned to the player and continued: "Protect our backcourt rebounds, we also have to grab as many frontcourt rebounds as possible." This task is given to the twins, and the other three offenses are completed and quickly return to defense, which cannot give them a chance to attack quickly; In this series, we can use a lot more of a combination against them, and I mean playing a combination for a long time, forcing them to shoot from the outside, but watching Korver; Last but not least, if you have the chance, you have to play fast break! ”

The tactical arrangement of the old Dunleavy can be summed up as nothing more than three points: rebounding, joint defense, and fast break.

After the Clippers players played, the Jazz had already completed the home team entrance ceremony.

The Jazz's home stadium is the "Energy Solutions Arena", which is the famous home court of the devils, even if it is not the most difficult home stadium in the league, but it will never run among the top three, and the atmosphere is even hotter than San Antonio's home court! Of course, in the eyes of the Clippers players, Jazz fans are even more hostile to them!

As soon as the Clippers players played, there was a lot of racist invective, and the yellow-skinned twins, who were the main targets of humiliation for Salt Lake City fans.

1974 year. The Jazz were founded in New Orleans and relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979. After struggling for the first few years, the Jazz became a regular in the playoffs from the '80s, from 1983 to 2007. With the exception of 2005, they have won more than 50% of their regular season games every year, and have made the playoffs in 23 of their 24 years.

The Utah Jazz have lost just four games at home this season, and the difference between the two brothers can be felt as soon as they come in. The construction of the "Energy Solution Arena" is steeper than other stadiums, and the angle is more vertical, and the players will feel a great sense of pressure when standing on the court. Coupled with the fact that Utah fans are so fanatical, it seems that the arena can make louder noises when they make loud noises, creating a loud echo. Therefore, playing in this arena will feel more depressed, and players with bad psychological qualities are easy to lose their minds here.

The Jazz home court has always been difficult to play, in addition to the stadium factor, the greater impact is the plateau climate here, playing on the plateau has higher requirements for the players' physique, many players are not very comfortable here, especially like Yao Ming, so the second half is always played by the Jazz to score tide.

Sum up. Coming to Salt Lake City to play will affect both mentally and physically, and it is not difficult to explain the easy loss of football.

And there is also a saying. The air conditioning in the lounge prepared for the away team at the Jazz stadium has always had problems, no cooling in the summer and no heating in the winter, it is said that the Jazz team made a ghost, but the air conditioning in the visiting team's locker room today is not a problem, even if this kind of thing is true, the Jazz must not do it often. If you do your hands and feet, others will do it, and you have to pay it back......

The two brothers entered the pitch as soon as they entered the court. The ears are full of swear words from Utah fans, and the two of them have seen the world. Coupled with the already excellent psychological element, it was not affected too much.

Ji Guozhi was worried that his teammates would be affected, so he ran to the technical table before the game started, and looked like he was going to do another big flip.

Old Dunleavy and Sloan briefly politely said a few words before the game, and at this time they happened to see Ji Guoyi's actions, but after hesitating, Old Dunleavy also guessed what Ji Guozhi meant, and did not stop him this time.

Speaking of which, no one in the league or above has ever been able to do a backflip on the tech bench! If a defender opens the game with this kind of performance, the fans will sigh a little at best, but when a big man of his height can make such a move, it is really breathtaking, amazing!

Ji Guoyi has already gathered a lot of fans just by relying on this pre-game personal ceremony, and everyone wants to see him turn his heels before the game, especially from the technical table, which is particularly visually shocking.

The little fox jumped lightly at the beginning, and the whole person was already on the technical table, and the scene camera immediately focused on Ji Guoyi.

Today's game is the opening match of the second round, broadcast live in the United States, and fans who watch this game in front of the TV know that this little fox finally performed his tricks again today!

Charles. Barkley was commenting: "Look around this building, this is the home court of the Jazz, you can feel the power here even if you're not there, the NBA players say it's the hardest away game to beat, and I think the coaches will agree, and of course we commentators will agree that this is the toughest, most overwhelming devil's home stadium in the whole league."

Kenny. Smith followed him and said, "Of course, we learned how great the Jazz's home court was when we were players, and it may not be the hardest home court to play, but it didn't fall into the top three, partly because of the roster, head coach Sloan is always here, the fans are cheering over your head, and the whole state of Utah seems to be embracing this team." It's not just the atmosphere at the scene, it's the team that's even more difficult to deal with, the Jazz have always been so confident and capable. ”

Charles. Barkley suddenly exclaimed, "Look, that fox is going to perform a 'big flip', you heard it right, I call his flip down the tech table 'Tuba', the 'Trumpet' somersault is nothing, I can do it now." ”

The fans in front of the TV pouted, this big ass will brag, and you still want to flip with your current body type, and it's almost ......

Today's Jazz starting lineup: Delon. Williams, Ronnie. Brewer, Andre. Kirilenko, Carlos. Boozer, Memet. Oku.

Clippers starting lineup: Chauncey. Billups, Ron. Artest, Jaime. Sposi, Ji Guosha, Ji Guoqiu.

The elder Dunleavy made some adjustments to the starting lineup today, putting the old cat Mobley back in the sixth man position, and letting Posey and Artest switch positions, which is an adjustment made according to the Jazz lineup, which is more targeted.

The opening jump ball was the least suspenseful part, and even the most ardent Jazz fans didn't think Boozer and Oku could win the two brothers.

The result was similar to what they expected, Boozer jumped the ball and failed miserably, and Ji Guoyi once again replaced his brother as the team's candidate for the jump ball today, and won without any suspense.

Sloan's Jazz is like Adelman's rockets, and these two coaches put their own labels on their respective teams wherever they coach.

Adelman has always taken his Princeton with him; Sloan's team has been branded as iron-blooded, and the Jazz's offense and defense have been tough since Postman Malone and Stockton, and of course you say they're dirty, and in some ways they are. The Rockets have the best understanding of this, and they hurt one game at a time, which shows the Jazz's black hand.

Ji Guoyi knew that these eight lambs were ruthless, so the offensive end decided to strike first, and secretly gave Boozer an elbow first, and knocked the anti-bone boy to the ground!

"Toot!"

How could the referee let go of such a rampant foul by Ji Guoyi, this is the Jazz away, not the Staples Arena.

"I'm sorry, I'm in the second round for the first time, I'm so excited, can Mr. referee give me a chance?"

Ji Guo's shameful words made Boozer, who was beaten and fell to the ground, almost suffocate to death without coming up in one breath, and the anti-bone boy lay on the ground, holding his lower abdomen and his face turned red, and he didn't know if it was painful or angry?

The Energy Center Arena exploded in an instant, and Jazz fans couldn't wait to come up and kill Ji Guosha, this bastard, they haven't started today, they can't imagine that the other party has already moved, is this a dismount?

"Damn Fu Manchu, I'm going to burn your braids!" Some Jazz fans must have watched the famous insulting movie and shouted at Ji Guosha.

"China pig, I'm going to kill you!" This guy has an Asian face, speaks Japanese, and knows what breed it is without asking.

"Yellow-skinned pig, go back to Asia to grow sorghum!" When this guy insulted Ji Guosha, he scolded the Japanese around him by the way, and he must have seen red sorghum and thought that the Chinese were like in the movie.

The Jazz players came up to ask Ji Guosha, but they were soon separated by the referee and the Clippers players, and among the Jazz players, Kirilenko was the most indignant, the Russian was directly hit by the little fox with an elbow in Los Angeles last time, and was finally diagnosed with a moderate concussion, and he rested for half a month.

Boozer would have been relieved, but he was ashamed of Ji Guo again, and he didn't come up in one breath, and now the injury is aggravated, and he can only return to the locker room for treatment. Sapp replaces Carlos. Boozer.

What did Sloan protest against?

Of course, it was a protest that the referee did not give Ji Guo a malicious foul, not even a technical foul, and only awarded an ordinary foul.

Dunleavy Sr. secretly thought in his heart, the league first deliberately made things difficult for the Jazz on the schedule, and hardly let the Jazz players rest; Then look at the referee's penalty just now, it is obviously a light treatment for Ji Guosha, the foul of the little fox should at least be given a technical foul!

Looking at it this way, the league obviously wants to get rid of the Jazz, otherwise the referees will not be so partial to them on the road, and Sterling's Grandet is reluctant to spend money to buy the referees.

Many Rockets fans in front of the TV applauded at this time, the Jazz played so dirty in the first round, and now they have finally got retribution! (To be continued) R655
