Chapter 463: Wave up!

George Hill left the Pacers and left the Jazz, which was a bit of a past life.
But the meaning is different.
In his previous life, George Hill left the Jazz because he had no results, but this time it was different. He won the championship and left for a better future!
Indiana didn't mean to stay too forcefully. After all, Xu Xuan was gone, what else could they do?
It is impossible to win another championship.
After winning the championship this time, the people of Indiana are also getting salty. The dreams that have not been fulfilled for so many years have now been realized. Next...I can digest it safely.
They don't have such big ambitions, and they never thought about having two consecutive championships or three consecutive championships.
A champion has been enough for them to be happy for many years. Or, why do you think Xu Xuan can leave so smoothly? Why don't Indiana fans hate Xu Xuan?
Their hearts are small and they are easily satisfied, so they are not so resistant to those who leave, and they are not as crazy as Miami.
Moreover, they firmly believe that Xu Xuan will come back one day. This is the most important fertile ground for Xu Xuan's growth. How could he not come back?
George Hill joining the Jazz this time is a big contract, so Xu Xuan did not refuse when he said he wanted a treat.
The road was quite winding. Originally, Salt Lake City was a place similar to the urban-rural fringe. Hill took Xu Xuan around for a while before reaching the location of this family restaurant.
I took Xu Xuan and measured the surroundings of the restaurant. The environment is not bad. The house is surrounded by a cornfield, and on the other side is a water storage pond that seems to be dug by hand. It is used for irrigation during the dry season and can also be used as a landscape.
It was Saturday, and there were a lot of people in the restaurant, but Hill had booked a place early. When entering the restaurant, the waiter saw Hill coming and enthusiastically took them to the window next to the pond.
Some customers also recognized Hill and Xu Xuan, some secretly took photos, and a big brother who appeared to have a drink opened his voice and shouted: "George, can we XXX the Lakers tomorrow?"
It seems that he should be a fan of the Jazz, and Hill smiled and turned his head to agree: "Of course, that's for sure."
When Xu Xuan heard the conversation between Hill and Passerby, his face was black, and he communicated like this in front of their Lakers players. Can you give some face?
Xu Xuan took the menu sent by the waiter, picked the expensive ones, and ordered something worth more than 600 dollars.
After drinking the pre-dinner soup, they began to serve dishes one after another. The two were chatting and eating. It was not bad. This special diet in Salt Lake City was quite in line with Xu Xuan's taste.
After lunch, Xu Xuan flashed people directly.
It’s time to renew the old, the night is about to play, and both of them need to go back and prepare.
...
The Jazz are very strong this season, and many people say that the Jazz may reach the top four this season.
They don't have much reinforcement this season, but every stroke is very important.
They first traded from the Spurs to French forward Boris Dior.
The reward for the Spurs is that the reward is the signing of the Jazz's 2015 second-round rookie Oliver Hanlan. Oliver Hanlan is currently playing for the Lithuanian powerhouse Sakiris.
The 34-year-old Dior is the 21st overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft. He has played for the Hawks, Suns, Bobcats, Spurs and other teams since his NBA career. So far, he has played in 991 NBA regular season games (including 531 games as a starter). In an average of 27.7 minutes per game, the French titan can deliver 8.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists. single.
Dior has played for the Spurs for four and a half seasons and played 331 regular season games during the period. The Spurs are also the team with the longest time in the NBA. In an average of 22.5 minutes per game, he can contribute 7.4 points and 3.8 points. Rebounds and 2.6 assists.
Dior’s annual salary last season was 7 million U.S. dollars. His contract will expire in the summer of 2018. Next season, his annual salary will be 6.5 million U.S. dollars. In 2017-18, his annual salary will be 7 million U.S. dollars.
The purpose of the Spurs trading him is also very simple, in order to make room for the big plus, after all, with the big plus, Dior is a bit redundant.
In addition, there is the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, whom the Lakers desperately wanted to trade, plus George Hill. Although Trevor Booker has left the team, overall, he has strengthened a lot.
...
The fans in Salt Lake City are very concerned about this game. They have already lost a game to the Portland Trail Blazers. They are now touted by the media as if they are going to win the championship and desperately need a victory to save their confidence.
It's just a pity that Gordon Hayward, the star of the Jazz team, temporarily truces due to physical discomfort. Xu Xuan originally wanted to talk to him about the "Canyon Cos". There is no chance now.
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, after the warm-up, the Lakers and Jazz players entered the field of the Energy Project Arena.
Salt Lake City fans are crazy. If you rank the madness index of all NBA team fans, then Salt Lake City fans should be in the top five.
Seeing Hill on the opposite side, Xu Xuan didn't know how to describe his feelings.
I was a teammate before, but now I am an opponent. It's impossible to say that I don't feel at all in my heart.
After the two teams finished their final pre-match preparations, the referee signaled the two teams to start the game.
Xu Xuan came to the court with good equipment. The starting teammates who played with him are still Russell, Ingram, Randall and Yi Jianlian.
The Jazz is the starting lineup of George Hill, Hood, singles Joe, Dior and Gobert.
Without Hayward, singles Joe was promoted to start.
Their lineup is very defensive.
Hill, Hood, King Eagle, Dior, and Gobert are all defensive players in various positions, especially Gobert. Xu Xuan dare not take it lightly in the next two consecutive games.
The Jazz also has history. In the 2011-2012 season, the Jazz led by Deron Williams also made the playoffs, although only in the first round.
It's just that the Jazz's record in recent years has been limited and sluggish, and this season has been blown into this.
However, in the current environment where small are prevalent, the Jazz's style of playing has become a clear stream. Head coach Quinn Schneider still emphasizes the use of airtight physical confrontation to maintain the team's defensive performance.
As he said before the start of the season, they have to rely on defense to win the final championship!
This is why they prefer players with traditional positions like Dior, Hood and Hill, and they don't want to run at all.
They will use an offensive rhythm that can be called tortoise speed to reduce the number of offensive rounds of their opponents, just like the iron-blooded pistons of the early century.
This is a play that is almost against the times. Many people also want to see if the crazy Jazz can play against the Lakers this season.
Yi Jianlian and Gobert’s jump ball, Yi Jianlian has no height advantage. Gobert is a well-known NBA man with a height of 216, but Xu Xuan now looks at it and estimates that it is more than that. This guy should develop twice. ...
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and pushed the ball into the air. Yi Jianlian jumped hard... the ball was pushed back into the backcourt by Gobert.
The Jazz are really slow.
1 second
2 seconds
3 seconds
...
It wasn't until the offensive time was almost 15 seconds off that George Hill, who had possession of the ball, was able to advance through the half.
Xu Xuan: "......"
Speechless·ing.
To be honest, if the ball is dialed down by Yi Jian, the Lakers' offense will be almost complete.
Seeing Xu Xuan's eyes, George Hill curled his lips vaguely. He didn't want to be like this... but there was no way, the old guy Quinn was watching right now...
Slowly advancing halftime, the pick-and-roll came as scheduled.
Xu Xuan did not rush to confront Hill, but turned and followed the pick-and-roll Dior to a 45-degree angle.
Pick-and-rolls, defensive changes, playing without passion. 516
But no way, the Jazz are not just with the Lakers, they play with all teams.
"哐"
Missed.
Xu Xuan grabbed the ball and prepared to counterattack.
The Jazz's offense here is slow to return, but when they retreat quickly, they don't give the Lakers a chance to counterattack quickly.
Meat grinder defense!
Leaving aside the issue of their offense, Xu Xuan clearly felt the Jazz's defensive arrogance when the Lakers attacked.
Very arrogant kind!
Xu Xuan suddenly felt the pressure.
"Tsk tsk, this is still the case without Hayward, wouldn't the defense be more aggressive with Hayward?"
Now this Jazz team lacks the soul figure. After all, the singles Joe is old, and there is still a big gap compared with the role of the young Hayward.
Hayward is currently the top seven small forwards in the league, but his score is not high in 2K, only 84, not even as high as Derek Favors in their team.
Playing jazz, Xu Xuan was very enthusiastic.
After half-time, Shi Shiran threw a three-pointer under Quinn Schneider's almost surprised eyes.
Don't look at me, your defense is so tight, you don't even take me out.
There is only one way to break the tightly organized defense, wave!
Unbridled waves!
Anyway, it's hard for me to play regularly. It's not as good as this wave to the end, maybe the shooting rate can be higher.
Xu Xuan advanced to the frontcourt and didn't even call the pick-and-roll. He turned to control the rhythm, and the ball was lifted to make a three-pointer...
Quinn Schneider, who had been paying attention to Xu Xuan's side, was stunned again, he dared to vote!
Lawless!
There are people playing games like this?
In other words, are you really sure if you vote like this?
Or just throw a few fools?
Quinn Schneider looked upset. Xu Xuan, the hanging man, touched his tactical inverse scale. If Xu Xuan was in his hands, he could guarantee that he would not play for more than three seconds. Of course, Xu Xuan would not be there either. He is just under him, even if he is there, it is estimated that he will not have the chance to take charge of Xu Xuan.
The ball was shot very steadily and hit a three-pointer on the right side of the top arc!
Quinn Schneider curled his lips, the game has just begun, and I don’t know how it feels.
You have to die!
But he wasn't a fool, he was still a little worried, and even if he missed a second one, he dared to continue the waves. Now that he has thrown in, he can't take the sky waves out of the hole?
However, coach Quinn Schneider watched a few more rounds and found that Xu Xuan did not really keep shooting from the outside, but began to use the threat of two three-pointers and a three-pointer to threaten the middle distance. Shots and breakthroughs create opportunities.
Although it is still a wave, Xu Xuan will still shoot when the opponent's defense is in place at the mid-range. When Yingge, Russell and others are empty, Xu Xuan will pass the ball, but Xu Xuan is working very hard to find better shooting opportunities.
When the waves return to the waves, my mind is still clear.
This is difficult to deal with.
If Xu Xuan is really like Yang Shaoxia, Quinn Schneider won't worry about it. He has 10,000 ways to make the reckless man realize what is wrong...
Hit 6 minutes and 22 seconds of the first quarter, the score was 15-16, a very anxious score.
Coach Frank called a timeout.
The Jazz's defense really opened his eyes, and he decided to cooperate with Xu Xuan to give him a strong dose.
"Nick, Louis, wait for you two to play, we will play a three-guard system!" Frank said.
If you want to wave, then wave to the end. I now completely put down my height and focus on outside shooting.
You guard?
I see what you can guard against!
It's not so defenseless!
"Huh? The Lakers lineup... Is this coach Frank now selling now? A three-guard system!" The commentator from ESPN gave a surprised expression.
"Use running and bombing to deal with the defense? It is indeed a good way, but this is tantamount to abandoning all your defense lines!"
The three guards are still Nick Young and Lu Wei....... This is a fart!
Quinn Schneider's eyes lit up ~EbookFREE.me~ He is not afraid of running and bombing tactics, all he has to do is to suppress the evil trend of running and bombing!
"Seize this opportunity to step up the attack and take them away in one wave!"
After returning from the timeout, Xu Xuan waved his hand to Yang Shaoxia's three-pointer, and the rebound was protected by Gobert.
There was a wave of pick-and-rolls in the front court, and the Jazz offense was handed over to Gobert's basket.
Gobert didn't have many offensive methods, most of them were at the basket, and he chose to turn over the layup.
Yi Jianlian gave interference, but the effect was not obvious. Gobert's physical condition was really good, with long arms and legs, stretched out, it was too difficult to completely restrain.
"Humph!"
Quinn Schneider snorted and looked at the score on the court, "Three guards? I don't know how to die!"
15 to 18.
The Lakers' baseline ball came out.
Xu Xuan took to the front court, Yang Shaoxia and Lu Wei kept running on the three-point line.
Boom, boom, boom!
With Xu Xuan speeding up his dribble rhythm, with a simple Crossover, George Hill was left behind by Xu Xuan.
Helplessly, the defense is strong, but Xu Xuan's single pass skills are really too strong. Hill knows Xu Xuan very well, but he knows better that he can't defend Xu Xuan.
But the Jazz can help.
As soon as Xu Xuan passed Hill, the singles Joe and Hood rushed forward.
Fierce defense!
Xu Xuan was not a under the double strike, the ball was snatched away by the cruel Hu De as soon as he dribbled it.
After seeing this scene, Quinn Schneider nodded in satisfaction, this was the effect he wanted.
The other party didn't score a three-pointer, made a dribble mistake, and his side kept scoring. The Lakers played with them?
