NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 381 Sloan’s thoughts

Jerry Sloan was one of the best swingmen ever for the Chicago Bulls.

Even after retiring, he coached the Bulls.

In the second season, he led the team to the playoffs.

He is an Illinois native himself.

Once upon a time, he himself thought that he would be handed over to the Bulls for the rest of his life.

That's pretty good too.

But soon, Jerry Sloan had to leave Chicago due to poor performance in leading the team.

Think about it sometimes.

If the Bulls' performance in those years was good enough, could I have stayed?

However, if the Bulls' results are good enough, will they just miss that man?

Yes, shortly after Jerry Sloan left Chicago.

1984, to be exact.

Rocket's vision is barely good.

However, Olajuwon brought them two championships.

As for the Trail Blazers, I don't know whether they are stupid or just unlucky.

Actually missing Michael Jordan.

The man who helped the Bulls win six championships.

Now, when it comes to Chicagoans, Jerry Sloan is no longer their best shooting guard.

Moreover, because of Jordan's suppression.

In the two years when the Jazz were at their strongest, they only won the Western Conference championship.

His beloved disciple Stockton is always missing a ring on his finger.

Karl Malone also moved away to Los Angeles, but became the younger brother of OK group, and then realized his championship dream.

Now, the man in a suit sat behind the Bobcats' bench.

He had a cigar in his mouth and looked like a big shot.

As a player, he retired three times, and each time he was a championship before retiring.

8 rings.

Moreover, he has become the boss.

His Bobcats are dominating the league again.

are talking.

The strongest teams this year are the Bobcats and Lakers.

It all depends on who can end the other side's winning streak first in the Christmas battle.

Jerry Sloan didn't want to be anyone's foil.

Today's Jazz can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.

To put it bluntly, it is even more powerful than the black and white evil spirits.

For 2 consecutive minutes, the Jazz did not score.

However, the Bobcats didn't score either.

The Bobcats are now their strongest lineup.

Point guard Zhou Yao.

Shooting guard jr.

Small forward Peja.

Power forward Martin.

Center Mutombo.

No points can be scored with such a lineup.

It shows how well the Jazz defended.

As for the Jazz themselves, they still have room to spare.

Iverson hasn't played yet.

Some fans clamored for Zhou Yao to shoot a three-pointer.

Check if the basket is properly installed.

Coach Sloan can understand this.

He also hopes that Zhou Yao will shoot a three-pointer.

The reasons are different from those fans.

Coach Sloan doesn't believe that Zhou Yao really can't miss three-pointers.

Kobe's defense is very good, but he may not be the best defensive player in the league.

Kobe made it impossible for Zhou Yao to score a three-pointer.

That means Zhou Yao's three-point shot is not that invincible.

now.

For Bobcats.

Zhou Yao's three-pointer is a kind of belief.

It's not just the fans.

Even Zhou Yao's teammates are convinced of this.

As long as Zhou Yao is outside the three-point line.

Ball in hand.

The defensive player is not Kobe.

Zhou Yao will always think of a way.

If his own players can prevent Zhou Yao from shooting a three-pointer.

However, Kirilenko's performance did not satisfy Coach Sloan.

He had tried his best to guard against Zhou Yao.

Also, Kirilenko is no Kenyon Martin.

He doesn't have any psychological shadow now.

However, Zhou Yao still hit a steady three-pointer.

By the way, it causes the opponent to foul.

Add a free throw.

The ball goes in.

0: 4.

……

"I'll just say it."

"No matter how careless those guys are, they can't really set the basket crooked!"

"It's just that the players themselves don't feel good!"

"Look, Zhou Yao's three-pointer didn't just go in!"

It seems that he heard the comments from the fans.

It may also be that Zhou Yao's three-pointer opened up Ren Du's second vein.

The Bobcats' players are also good.

The Jazz players are also good.

The goals finally started to come in.

The weird atmosphere at the beginning of the game was also swept away.

Fans were surprised to find out.

On the scene, the Jazz did not lose to the Bobcats at all.

The first quarter is over.

29: 31.

Only a small loss of 2 points.

Moreover, Iverson did not appear for the entire first quarter.

Coach Sloan is smiling.

It is an encouragement to every player.

A pair of confident appearance.

However, only he knew that the situation was not as easy as it seemed.

Iverson did not have any major injuries.

However, it cannot be said to be completely healthy.

Iverson is 31 years old.

It’s only at the tail end of the peak.

Moreover, Iverson has always been strong.

It is indeed worthy of praise to remain in the line of fire despite minor injuries.

But in fact, this also greatly damaged his health.

If only I could pay more attention to maintenance.

Maybe Iverson can stay at his peak for a few more years.

But now, he is just barely holding on.

Averaging 30.5 points per game, it can almost be said that Iverson is overdrafting his body.

Just after the last game, Iverson was a little overwhelmed.

In this game, both Iverson and Coach Sloan were pretending to be relaxed.

Moreover, even the Jazz really still have some energy left.

It can’t be said that the Bobcats really tried their best.

At least.

Zhou Yao should still have some energy left.

In the first quarter, Zhou Yao only had 4 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.

For Zhou Yao himself, this is definitely not a figure worth boasting about.

And Coach Sloan has been observing from the sidelines.

If Zhou Yao wants to score, he actually has many opportunities.

"How about it?"

"Should we wait any longer, we should prepare to compete."

"As a coach, I should warn you."

"We don't have the pressure of record now."

"The Bobcats are now on a 24-game winning streak."

"Before meeting the Lakers, they were not willing to lose."

"The opportunity to chase 33 consecutive wins is rare."

"The victory in this game is much more important to the Bobcats than it is to us!"

Tell the truth.

Coach Sloan does not want Iverson to play.

But he knew it, and so did Iverson.

From now on, Iverson may have to consider when to retire.

Iverson signed the contract last year.

4 million in 7670 years.

Counting this season, there are still 3 seasons left.

The contract ends in 2009.

Iverson will be 34 years old by then.

With Iverson's current physical condition.

By then, maybe he would have retired.

Or, if his body is well maintained, he can sign another pension contract.

Players who thought they still had the strength to compete for the scoring title are now starting to consider retirement.

It's somewhat sad.

Sloan and Iverson got along very well.

He didn't want Iverson to put more burden on his body just because of one game...
