Vol 2 Chapter 506: A different world of basketball and Jeremy Sloan's dream

"Jerry, are you still watching the supersonic game video?"
"The children are out now?"
Jerry Sloan, who was looking at the video of the supersonic game intently, saw that Phil Johnson was walking in, and turned his gaze to the laptop in front again.
As if the large screen in front of him had a great appeal.
Seeing Jerry Sloan like this, the expression on Phil Johnson's face was also somewhat helpless.
This is not the first day.
Since last week, Jerry Sloan has been frantically studying the Seattle SuperSonics for these two seasons.
It is really hard to imagine that in the regular season, Jerry Sloan needs to study a team, a player to such a degree.
Such targeted research generally does not appear in the NBA until the playoffs.
And now, Jerry Sloan is for the supersonic speed and for the Yes.
Looking at Jeremy Sloan who is now staring at the laptop screen, Phil Johnson can only really sigh except sigh.
Now Jerry ’s pressure is too great!
He has been an assistant coach for the Utah Jazz since 1982. He has been to other places for four years. From 1982 to the present, he has worked for the Utah Jazz for 20 years.
Perhaps no one believes that the reason why Jerry Sloan came to Utah Jazz was his reason.
He and Jerry Sloan are both disciple disciple.
When Dick Motta coached the Bulls, he was an assistant coach and Jerry Sloan was a player.
Jerry Sloan liked the job of coaching when he was a player, and he always studied with Dick Motta like him.
Dick Motta left the Bulls to Washington Bullets after retiring with Jerry Sloan, and Jerry Sloan became the head coach of the Chicago Bulls.
When Jerry Sloan was the head coach of the Bulls, he was an assistant coach of Jerry Sloan.
Jerry Sloan's coaching performance in the three years of the Bulls was very bad. In the third year of coaching, the regular season was not over yet and he was fired by the Bulls.
After Jerry Sloan was fired, Jerry Sloan chose to rest, and he left the Bulls to go to the Jazz as an assistant coach.
As a native of Utah, after the Jazz stabilized, he recommended Jerry Sloan to the team as a scout.
A former NBA coach, even if the coaching performance is even worse, going to another team as a scout is a very disappointing thing.
That was the most difficult moment in Jerry Sloan's life.
A man born in Illinois, grew up in Illinois, and became famous in Illinois finally left his hometown and left his hometown to go to a remote country to do a job that seemed quite low-cost.
If it were not known that Jerry Sloan had not given up on basketball or his dream of coaching, he would never invite his best friend and his best brother to come to Utah.
Later Jerry Sloan's coaching achievements in Utah proved that he was correct.
From 1983 to the present 2008, in 25 years, Jerry Sloan has grown from a small scout to the most respected head coach in Utah.
He also followed Jerry Sloan and became the best assistant coach in the NBA.
In the twenty-five years of the Jazz, they have witnessed many, many together.
Coupled with the time of the Chicago Bulls, they have experienced many, many times together during these thirty years together.
In so many experiences and testimonies, he has never seen such anxiety as Jerry Sloan.
Even when he was taking classes from the Chicago Bulls and faced a break in his basketball career and coaching dream, Jerry Sloan had never been so anxious.
As Jerry Sloan's closest comrade-in-arms, he can understand Jerry Sloan's mood now.
The Utah Jazz's record this season is really unexpected.
Before the start of the season, no matter how harsh media the Utah Jazz are, they will rank the Utah Jazz in the top five in the most terrifying West in history.
The Jazz played seven games against the Spurs in the playoffs last season.
In the regular season last season, the Jazz killed five players who led the team to the Western Conference finals.
As long as the Jazz can improve step by step this season, this team's fighting power in the West can be expected.
However, the end result is that all these forward-looking and anticipation are dreams!
The Utah Jazz are not in the top five in the West, not even the top eight in the West.
The Utah Jazz are now ranked 10th in the West!
A very bad ranking.
The Utah Jazz haven't had a very good record these seasons after the disintegration of Utah Double Shakes.
Otherwise, it is impossible to have a lottery draw for Deron Williams.
In previous seasons, the Jazz's position in the regular season was even worse than the tenth in the Western Conference.
But, can the ranking at that time be the same as this season?
He knew exactly what Jerry Sloan expected from the team this season.
Not to mention the illusory goal of the champion, this season Jerry Sloan's goal has always been to lead the team to win a series!
In this so-called most terrifying Western season, lead the team to win a series!
Jerry Sloan knew very well that for a team that pursues a championship, winning a series is the first step. If you have n’t even tried the taste of a series victory, call the champion, it ’s really just Slogan only.
As long as Jerry Sloan can lead the team through the first round of the playoffs this season, next season he can bring the team to shout the championship slogan.
At this time, what Yes, what supersonic, Jerry Sloan and the Jazz really never considered.
What can be considered for a team that was killed by five of them last season?
But this season, the Jazz have been double-killed by the Seattle SuperSonics!
Tomorrow's game with the Seattle SuperSonics, which attracted the attention of the major teams in the West, is the third contest between the Utah Jazz and the Supersonics this season.
Before the game started, the top ten teams in the West, Sun ranked first with 47 wins and 4 losses, the Rockets ranked second with 46 wins and 5 losses, the Sonics ranked third with 42 wins and 8 losses, and the Lakers ranked 40 wins and 11 losses. Fourth, the Spurs and Nuggets ranked fifth and sixth with 39 wins and 11 losses respectively. The Grizzlies ranked seventh in the west with 37 wins and 13 losses. The Thunder ranked eighth with 34 wins and 16 losses. The Mavericks ranked ninth with 33 wins and 18 losses. Utah The Jazz ranked 10th with 30 wins and 20 losses.
Why is this game so focused on the strong teams in the West?
As one of the league's best assistant coaches, Phil Johnson certainly knows.
The win-loss relationship in this game involves many things after the All-Star sprint.
Fight for three, fight for six, fight for eight ...
All of this has a huge relationship with this game!
Phil Johnson can be sure that the Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets are definitely hoping that Jazz, the former Yes killer, can beat Yes and the Supersonics in this game.
The Thunder and Mavericks definitely hope that the Supersonics can beat the Jazz in this game.
As long as the jazz loses in this game, for them, the jazz can no longer constitute a threat to them.
For the hope of the team's playoffs, for the team's upward stance, this game Jazz has the pressure to win.
The Jazz are now a young team.
What a young team needs most is to keep improving and moving forward.
When a team is full of hope, the team's young players will have goals and expectations and will progress faster.
When a team makes people see no hope, the team's young players are the most explosive existence. These young people are active in thinking and jumping in ideas. No one knows what they will do, no one Know if they will hurt the team.
For those strong teams in the West, this game is a turning point for them this season, and it is a game for them to formulate their next strategy this season.
For the Jazz, this game will be a game that determines the team's future coaching career in the next ten years!
Phil Johnson always knew what Jerry Sloan's dream was.
The golden trophy of the NBA championship!
If this generation of Jazz players lose their direction because of this game, then Jerry Sloan has no ability to train a new generation of Utah.
It can be said that Jerry Sloan placed all his dreams and hopes on Deron Williams.
If this dream finally broke ... Phil Johnson couldn't imagine Jerry Sloan.
Because the result of this imagination is terrible, he is already a little trembling now.
"Phil, the supersonic change this season is too big ..."
Just when Phil Johnson thought about the consequences of the possible defeat of this game and felt terrible, Jerry Sloan's faint voice came.
"Compared to last season, Yes this season lifted his pass seal. When he regained half of the ball from Rondo, we can't win the supersonic ..."
Phil Johnson could hear the bitterness in the faint voice.
Phil Johnson's expression on his face was shocked after listening to this bitter speech.
Is this the result of Jerry Sloan's research over the course of the week and night?
"Phil, basketball now really changed ... because of the appearance of Yes, basketball is no longer the basketball we used to think ..."
Jerry Sloan seemed to be talking to him, as if he was talking to himself, and let Jerry Sloan produce such a powerless and bitter and desperate voice is a game playing on the laptop now.
Phoenix Suns and Seattle Supersonics last game!
The Phoenix Sun used the "Yes Rule" game in the game.
Phil Johnson certainly watched this game.
In this game, the Sun's defense against Yes has been extreme.
If the Sun still wants to win, this is the strongest defense.
Under this kind of defense, it is difficult for players to get statistics.
However, Yes almost hit double 20 in this game.
Not only did Yes almost hit a double 20 stat, Durant scored a career-high 65 points under his strongest pass in history.
In this game, Yes showed the world how terrible his three-point ability was and scored 21 points in 6 shots. It also showed the world how terrible his passing is.
Surrounded by the three players of the Sun, he can still pass those passes that are impossible for others to pass. Without transition, he can directly find Durant. This seems to be the same thing as a fantasy. Yes in this game done!
Before the advent of Yes, no one had ever believed that a team like the Sun could win the championship, nor would anyone boast that a team like the Sun could be the strongest team in history.
Before the advent of Yes, no one ever believed that a player's threat on the three-point line was so great, and absolutely no one believed that a person could use his speed and quick offense to bring a team to such a degree !
Even he and Jerry Sloan would not believe it as the successor and successor of small ball tactics.
Perhaps many people would not believe it.
He and Jerry Sloan are the successors of small ball tactics.
Their teacher Dick Motta is a pioneer in NBA small ball tactics.
It's even the old Nelson who is chasing the incomparable 'small ball pioneer'.
In the world's understanding, he and Jerry Sloan should be defensive and iron-blooded, but in fact, their background is offensive and gorgeous.
This is actually not contradictory.
If they didn't really see the offensive and gorgeous weakness in the NBA, how could they give up their origins?
They are different from old Nelson.
Old Nelson's dream is to see more scenery. Old Nelson never pursued a championship.
Because the championship is not attractive to Cardinal Nelson, at least not the unknown basketball scene.
And what about them?
They are not as luxurious as old Nelson, they want a championship to leave their name in the history of basketball.
When offense and flamboyance cannot bring them these, they can only seek change.
Changing to the present, when they have almost forgotten their background, the world suddenly tells them that the basketball is now different from the previous ...
This sense of despair ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This feeling of powerlessness and bitterness is so painful.
Phil Johnson watched the ball on the computer that broke through Stoudemire's supersonic No. 35 dunk. Phil Johnson's scalp was numb.
In the past, he has never seen a championship team can give another team such a great deal of space and opportunity in the game.
The Supersonics and the Suns told them that in the latest basketball concepts, defense may still be important, but it is no longer so important.
What really determines the outcome of the game has become a score.
If you can score more points than your opponent in each game, you are the champion!
"Phil, this game may be a game we say goodbye to in the past twenty-five years."
Jerry Sloan's voice was still quiet, but Phil Johnson could not hear any bitterness and despair.
"I don't want to mess up this game that said goodbye to me in the past!"
