Chapter 511 The Jazz Is About to Collapse!

Before the game started, Jerry Sloan's idea was to target Durant and make Yes, the most stable player in NBA history, because Durant was unstable.

Turn Durant, a player who may be as good as Karl Malone in the future, into a helper for the Jazz in this game.

As depicted in many movies, the villain always likes to use hostages to defeat the invincible protagonist.

Durant is the hostage now!

A hostage that Yes cannot give up.

As long as this hostage is held, Yes will not be able to defeat the hostage-holding Jazz!

The first quarter of this game also went exactly according to his ideas.

Durant's struggles allowed Yes to tie a career-high number of turnovers in the first quarter!

But the next game caught Jerry Sloan a little off guard!

In Jerry Sloan's mind, after he held Durant hostage, Yes would not be able to pass the ball without any scruples, jump up and shoot without any scruples like in the first two games of this season. Drive the team.

But Yes didn't follow the plan he set at all.

Even though Yes had made five turnovers in a single quarter in the first quarter, in the second quarter, Yes still pushed the game without any scruples like it did in the first two games of this season.

There is no fear at all like last season when he was five-killed!

Jerry Sloan has really never seen such a person in the world!

After being threatened with hostages, not only did he show no fear, but he became even more ferocious!

It's certainly not possible for Yease to play the way Jerry Sloan wants.

Because although Jerry Sloan's strategy is ruthless, he still doesn't understand him.

If he plays according to the way Jerry Sloan designed the game for him, he and his Sonics will repeat the tragic situation of being five-killed by the Jazz last season.

Durant was hit hard in such a targeted manner, which led to Durant making mistakes when catching his passing balls.

But these mistakes are acceptable!

Because these mistakes of his can't be directly exploited by the Jazz.

Durant couldn't catch these passes of his, and of course Fisher next to Durant couldn't catch them either.

In the end, this mistake was just a mistake.

It's just equivalent to a blacksmith strike.

Ye Si has said before that as long as Durant can give him a stable hand, he is willing to make Durant's shooting percentage 0-for-30 after taking over!

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

Things like 0 out of 30 are still too exaggerated.

After Durant's attention is focused, even if Durant is targeted, he can catch about 18 of these passes out of 30 times. According to Durant's current shooting rate, he should be able to hit 8 out of 18 shots. About times.

In other words, converting his mistakes into shots, Durant's shooting percentage should be 8-for-30 or 7-for-30.

That's acceptable for Durant!

As long as he can jump up without restraint, touch the ball without restraint, and score without restraint, Durant's efficiency is completely acceptable.

What's more, if he continues to trust Durant unconditionally, he can also cultivate Durant's physical fighting ability now!

You know, according to Ye Si's idea, he is preparing to start cultivating Durant's physical combat ability next season.

This season, Yeas is really worried that Durant will be under too much pressure and eventually be crushed.

But Yes really underestimated Durant's toughness!

Durant's character is indeed not that good, nor is he that reliable, but his character on the court is quite outstanding and quite reliable.

This is a guy who is easily influenced off the court and has people doubting his strength and toughness.

But on the court, his determination and hard work were indeed beyond Ye Si's imagination.

Ye's previous prediction for Durant's future was that he was a better five-star player than Ray Allen!

Now, Yeez needs to revise his evaluation of Durant!

Since Durant is willing to continue working hard and fight with Fisher even when he is weak, why can't he?

Anyway, he has to give Durant at least 30 opportunities in a game.

These 30 opportunities were all used to train Durant in the end. What Durant did with these 30 opportunities in the end depends on Durant's efforts!

"Beautiful pull-up from beyond the arc!"

“This is Yes’ fifth shot from beyond the three-point line in this game!”

"Yes's shooting was so decisive that Kirilenko's help defense had no chance at all!"

Keep jumping from outside the three-point line!

Once you get a good feeling, take action!

If you can't get a good touch, you'll hit Durant!

This is Ye Si’s core style of play now!

For Ye Si, any difficulties will not make him change his way!

"Incredible!"

Watching the dramatic game on TV, Popovich looked shocked.

Let's not talk about Yes's trust in Durant to this extent. What kind of touching spirit is this.

Let's just say that Yes's style of dribbling the ball outside the three-point line and just pulling out whenever there is a slight chance is really shocking.

Although Yes's pull-ups in this game are not as scary as the pull-ups without adjustment, they are still much better than his usual pull-ups, which he likes to wait in the air and adjust in the air!

Yesi wanted to wait in the air.

Ye Si's current jumping ability can refresh six touch points in the air.

But because of Kirilenko's defensive threat, he could only refresh three in the air!

When it refreshes to the fourth position, Kirilenko's help defense will appear.

He must find a relatively good throw among these three hands.

If it was last season, Jerry Sloan's strategy would be successful even if he continued to believe in Durant.

His three-point shooting attributes were too low at that time. Even if he continued to believe in Durant and continued to jump up, it was simply impossible to hit many shots in only three opportunities to refresh his skills!

But it's different now. His three-point shooting attribute is 90!

His stringent requirements on hand feel are no longer so high!

He is no longer the player who has to wait until his touch value is above 65 before he can take action when faced with even a slight amount of defense!

"Yes, the fight was very unreasonable!"

"Yes, this game was very exciting!"

"I swear, Yes knows what Jerry Sloan is doing in this game, but he doesn't care at all!"

"Jerry Sloan wants to prove something, and Yes is actually helping Jerry Sloan prove it out of spite!"

Listening to the cheers of the SuperSonics fans at the scene, watching Yes's three-pointer on the court, let's not talk about what Deron Williams' defense is like.

Just saying yes to these choices is really jaw-dropping!

"Kenny, this is not a matter of anger, this is a domineering style that belongs exclusively to Yes. He has always been such a domineering person, and this is his style of play. He will not be threatened by anyone, no matter if it is the provocation of Arenas. This is how he responded to Kobe's provocations!"

A domineering style unique to Yes?

"Yes, this is the domineering style unique to Yes!"

Kenny Smith nodded after being stunned for a moment.

"Moreover, the impact of a choice like Yes on the game is definitely not just a direct impact!"

Kenny Smith looked at the increasing defensive intensity of the Sonics players on the court with a strange light in his eyes.

Kenny Smith can be sure that when Yes initially loved Durant to such an extent, other Seattle SuperSonics players must have been envious and unhappy.

Why can Durant get such favor?

How could He De, the trashiest second place player in history and the most prolific scoring champion in history, allow Yes to do this?

But in the end, these players who were envious and jealous of Durant will all turn into worship and respect for Yes and even die for it!

Looking at the Sonics players on the court now... Millsap, Milicic, Rondo... which one of them has not been trusted by Yes?

If they didn't have Durant who trusted them in this game, they wouldn't have been able to reach this level in the NBA!

In the end, it became that the greater the pressure Fisher puts on Durant, the greater the support Yes has for Durant, the higher the reverence and dedication of other SuperSonics players for Yes. Such fighting spirit and will can That translates directly into the intensity of the game!

"The offensive efficiency of the two teams in this game is really low!"

Yes's three-point shooting percentage is so low that it is only 5 of 14, which is already considered quite good.

But now the game on the court will definitely make the SuperSonics fans at the scene quite happy!

Fans don't just watch the game for the score. In other words, for the fans at the scene, the score of the game and the style of the game are not that important.

For fans, the most important thing is the plot and pictures presented in the game!

When the entire team encounters a crisis, is there anything more exciting than trusting each other and supporting each other through the crisis?

Now the Seattle SuperSonics fans at the scene are watching the SuperSonics players in this game as if they are playing on the court.

Not to mention the SuperSonics fans at the scene, even many media reporters at the scene had this idea!

"This is a fairy tale scene!"

To most viewers around the world, this game seemed like a fairy tale as the Seattle SuperSonics were forced by Jerry Sloan and the Jazz.

Such fairy tale-like competitions are very emotional.

But for Jerry Sloan, the Jazz players on the court, and the Jazz fans in front of the TV, they feel as if their scalps are numb.

The Jazz's performance this season is very poor, and many people cannot accept their tenth record in the Western Conference.

The Jazz do have big problems this season, both offensively and defensively.

But no matter how many offensive problems there are, it is impossible to score less than 15 points in two quarters in a game!

In the first quarter, the Jazz were beaten by the Seattle SuperSonics by only 14 points. This is understandable. The game had just begun and the SuperSonics' defense was very strong.

But in the third quarter, even when the team's strategy and tactics were at an advantage, they only scored 14 points.

At the end of the three quarters, the Jazz, who initially trailed by two points, ended up trailing by 12 points!

crisis!

An unprecedented crisis!

The Jazz don't want to lose in this game, but according to the current trend of this game, the Jazz have no chance of winning!

That's not what a lot of Jazz fans in front of their TVs are thinking.

This is what those Jazz starters who stayed on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter on TV performed like this!

"Jazz is panicking now!"

Popovich looked at the panicked Jazz on TV with some disbelief.

You know, the Jazz battled them in seven games in the playoffs last season!

The resilience of this team is incredible!

Because in this tie-break between the Spurs and Jazz, both sides did not win a game at their home court, and they all won away from home!

In the playoffs, in a tiebreaker series, how much willpower does it take to win three consecutive away games?

Of course, the Jazz players do not have such will.

No one else, whether it's Boozer, Deron or Okur, has such a will.

Those will belong to Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan.

Jerry Sloan is the embodiment of this team!

When Jerry Sloan controls the Jazz well enough, he can impose all of his will on the team.

But now...

"Jerry Sloan has actually started to slowly lose control of the Jazz?!"

It's really hard for Popovich to imagine that such a thing would happen!

You know, most of the Jazz players currently playing on the court were brought to their peak by Jerry Sloan.

Even Deron Williams, the head player of the team, was brought out by him. It can be said that Deron is the Duncan of the Jazz.

It's such a team, and now it's out of control!

Now the Jazz can no longer see any tactical quality on the court.

The Seattle SuperSonics are a team that is difficult to defeat with singles. Even singles teams like the Lakers have been double-killed by the SuperSonics this season, let alone a team like the Jazz that needs more coordination.

The way the Jazz are playing on the court now is definitely not what Jerry Sloan meant!

Popovich kept staring at the TV. Finally, when the game was about to end, the TV screen finally focused on Jerry Sloan's face that he wanted to see!

Seeing the expression of doubt, confusion and disbelief on Jerry Sloan's face, Popovich was sympathetic but also happy at the same time.

He has never felt this feeling of being betrayed by his most trusted player, has not felt it now, has not felt it in the past, and will not feel it in the future.

But this feeling is not difficult to imagine.

Just imagine Duncan doing what Deron Williams is doing now during a game.

Deron Williams is desperate to defeat Yes!

Even if the Jazz have no hope of winning, that's not what players on a disciplined team should do!

98 to 82!

This is the final score of the game.

“This game changed more than we thought!”

Popovich's eyes were shining, and it wasn't just the Jazz that might collapse.

Also, even if the Seattle SuperSonics win this game, they may not be able to secure the third place in the Western Conference!

Popovich's eyes are all on Durant who won the game but lowered his head!
