On March 20, the Warriors took on the Jazz on the road.

The Jazz have a good record, and because they are the top spot in the Northwest Division, they can finish in the top four at worst, and they have a 43-23 record before meeting the Warriors.

This year, many strong teams have sprung up in the West, such as the Mavericks, Suns, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Jazz, each team is very strong, and the worst has a top four record in the East, and they are all distinctive. Like the Jazz, they have a very high home win rate.

Salt Lake City has regained the ferocity of the Utah Double Devil and has become a veritable home of the Devils.

The Warriors arrive at odds lower than the Jazz at home.

Fisher also contracted the flu, and there was one less person in the point guard position.

The Warriors fielded the starting lineup of Monta Ellis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

The Jazz have a very well-aligned lineup, with Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer and Memet Oku.

Entering the second year of his career, Deron Williams averaged 16 points and 9 assists per game, especially 9.3 assists per game, which amazed the entire NBA. In the current assist rankings, Steve Nash, who is second only to the Suns, is higher than Chris Paul and Jason Kidd.

Utah, Energy Solutions Arena.

As the home of Mormonism, Salt Lake City, the Jazz are a team that adheres to the rules from top to bottom. Since Malone and Stockton, this team has rarely had the kind of profligate, club-hanging guys. Sloan's control of this team has always been at the top level, like a Puritan army.

Compared to other arenas, the Energy Solutions arena is very "steep", and the whole arena looks like a deep well, which makes people shudder. The purpose of this design is not to "scare the children", but to gather the shouts and cheers of all the fans in the stadium, as well as the boos and trash talk against the away team, like a wave, and rush to the stadium at the bottom.

Regardless of the sport, regardless of the league, professional or amateur, the home team will always have a higher win rate. First, the right time, place and people are certainly in the category of "metaphysics", but you have to believe that with the shouts and cheers of the home audience, it will indeed add to the team's combat effectiveness; Secondly, the home team has a higher winning rate, which is also in line with the needs of interests, because only by making the fans happy will it stimulate consumption and drive the growth of income.

What's more, the Jazz are in a high-altitude combat situation, similar to the Denver Nuggets in the Colorado Plateau, and the home of the Utah Jazz is also built at an altitude of 1,300 meters. The most immediate effect of strenuous exercise at this altitude is altitude sickness, or hypoxia.

Therefore, under the influence of multi-clock factors, once the Jazz players have improved, the energy solution arena has easily become the most terrifying devil's home court in the league.

The Warriors players didn't like to come to Utah to play very much, and the suburban hotel they stayed in was extremely uncomfortable, and when they came to the arena on the night of the game, they were tired.

"Whew~" Yang Di exhaled a breath of turbid air and completed the warm-up training.

After the fans in the stadium sat down, the sound was very noisy, and the attendance rate was quite high.

Tyson Chandler and Memile Oku stand in the center circle.

The Jazz's jump ball was a problem, Oku's bounce was mediocre, Boozer's arm span was impressive, and George Carr even considered letting Kirilenko, who is a small forward, jump the ball.

Think about it, it's just a kick-off, and for the Jazz, it's not particularly important.

The game started and Chandler jumped to win the tee-off.

Jazz fans are used to it, and the Jazz have not won a few times in a season.

Monta Ellis, who started for the first time in his career, trembled with excitement, and after holding the ball, he waved his arms forward, and Deron Williams stood in front of him.

In the second season, Delong has begun to become very strong, and after more than a year of systematic training, it can be seen that he is working very hard.

And Monta Ellis has gone through training, but he is still as black and thin as he has just entered the league, and it may be seen from a closer look that he has much stronger arms than before.

The Warriors attacked, and the whole court roared like a tsunami: "Kill the Warriors, kill the Warriors......."

The momentum is hitting people's eardrums, and the players will inevitably have some changes in their hearts.

Montaelis did not rush to attack, and silently said in his heart: "Calm, calm......"

In the right elbow area, Yang Di covered Ray Allen's off-ball run, Ray Allen came out, and then suddenly cut to the basket, wrapped around Tyson Chandler's body, and ran outside the left three-point line.

Yang Di stuck Boozer with his back and opened the ball with one hand.

Monta Ellis hoisted the ball in, and Jandy picked it up and turned to face Boozer.

The bald Boozer is burly, vicious-looking, and his tendons are not inferior to Yang Di, or even excessive, in the Jazz team, he is cultivated as the second generation of Malone.

Boozer's technical characteristics are indeed very similar to Malone, both of them are good at mid-range offense, rebounding is also good, can resist people under the basket, and their defensive ability is average.

Yang Di grabbed the basketball with both hands and almost put it on the floor.

Boozer opened his hands in front of him, ready for battle.

"Carlos."

"Huh?" Boozer looked at Yang Di suspiciously.

Yang Di suddenly showed a smile: "Your footsteps can't stop me, right?" Coach Sloan didn't know that, you know, I thought about you, easily. ”

Boozer was a little angry, Yang Di was too arrogant, and in the wave of the audience chanting "Defeat the Warriors", he actually dared to speak wildly.

"Then you can just try our Jazz defense." Boozer snorted coldly, his center of gravity lower.

Yang Di, who leaned over, stepped out with his right foot and hit the ground with the ball in his left hand.

"Smack~" The basketball hit the ground and exchanged to the right hand, and the body leaned forward, Yang Di made a wrong step, his knee turned, and his body suddenly exerted force.

Boozer took the initiative to approach Yang Di, using his strong chest to resist Yang Di's body, and at the same time, his right arm went around, and his left hand turned into a fist, secretly exerting force, pushing Yang Di to slow down his impact.

Yang Di was furious in his heart, pulled the basketball sideways, and jumped to open up the space.

As soon as he jumped away, Boozer took his hand back, Yang Di interrupted the impact by pulling the ball horizontally, and Boozer moved quickly and in small steps, following Yang Di step by step.

Yang Di dribbled the ball behind two times in a row, consciously dribbled for too long, and returned the ball to Monta Ellis on the outside, and encountered a lot of trouble on the first attack.
