Chapter 131: Maximum Score Difference in the First Section

The Utah Jazz, Energy Solutions Arena, Spurs and Jazz are ready.

Zhou Zhou commented on this game in his live broadcast room.

"Energy Solutions Arena is one of the most difficult arenas in the NBA. The altitude is relatively more acceptable than Denver's Pepsi Center. However, the Jazz have always been known for their defense. The Spurs are short of major generals. Today Very dangerous."

Zhou Zhou continued to sigh: "Do you still remember the Yao-Mai combination of the Rockets? 22 consecutive victories are so powerful, but the Jazz has always been a hurdle that Yao and Mai cannot overcome."

The camera showed the radar inside the arena making pre-game preparations. Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brothers, fortunately, the radar has no altitude sickness today. I hope the Spurs can win."

Jazz starting lineup: Gobert, Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles, Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley.

Spurs starting lineup: Jacob Bortle, LaMarcus Aldridge, Carroll, Mills, Radar.

Entering the game, Gobert jumped the ball and gave the Jazz the opportunity to attack for the first time with a crushing advantage.

Conley brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Radar was not afraid. No matter who he faced, I was confident in fighting. The Jazz's defense was good, but Radar's defense was not weak either.

Conley was forced to stop dribbling by the radar and had to pass the ball to Mitchell. After a short pause, Mitchell glanced inside, suddenly accelerated explosively, and stepped directly past Patty Mills.

Like a comet hitting the earth, Mitchell's explosive speed is indeed not inferior to that of Venus Westbrook. He came to the basket, jumped and scored the Jazz's first goal.

The first offense was so smooth and the Spurs were caught off guard by breaking through the basket so easily. The fans at the scene reacted faster than the Spurs and immediately burst into cheers.

Zhou Zhou: "Wow. Mitchell's physical fitness is really good. Although he is a little shorter, his speed and jumping are not inferior to radar."

"The Spurs attack, dribble with radar, and observe the position of their teammates. From our sky perspective, everyone on the Spurs is locked. Mills' movement has been followed by Mitchell, and Carroll has no No matter how low-post ability or if he wants the ball in the high-post, Radar doesn't dare to give it to him. After all, Ingles' height is here."

After wandering around at the top of the arc, Radar gave the ball to Aldridge and shot from the basket. Although he avoided Bogdanovic, Gobert's long arm almost touched the basketball. Aldridge's first attack Couldn't score either.

"It's a pity that it was still interfered with. Adelaide will be very uncomfortable in this game."

Zhou Zhou continued to explain: "The Jazz handed the ball to Mitchell again, came outside the penalty area, and took a mid-range shot with the help of Ingles' screen. There it was."

"Mitchell scored twice, rewriting the score to 4-0."

In switching offenses, Radar is still looking for a suitable opponent, but the Jazz's defense can really be described as airtight. The Spurs' lineup is not very athletic, and neither Mills nor Carroll can move through it. Create space.

The radar received Ade's signal and came on its own.

Well, the helpless Radar chose to attack on his own.

Although Conley is a very mature and traditional defender, it is still a bit unrealistic to completely guard against the radar.

Almost the same explosion as Mitchell, the first step accelerated very quickly, the radar passed Conley, and while dribbling, he used a fake move to deceive Ingles and get into the penalty area.

Zhou Zhou: "Radar stopped in the penalty area and took a look around. Radar made a decisive move. Oh, unfortunately, Radar underestimated Gobert's wingspan with the ball. He was one position away, but Gobert still touched the basketball.

The hat is off."

Gobert is nicknamed the "Tower of Suffocation". He is the anchor and defensive iron gate of the Jazz's penalty area! He was once the double champion in NBA history in terms of wingspan and reach. Radar thought that Gobert could not block the ball, so he shot very quickly.

Decisive, even a small throw was still defended by Gobert.

This is the horror of "Salt Lake City Monster" Gobert.

By the way, Gobert has quite a few nicknames, such as Salt Lake City Monster, Tower of Suffocation, French Daniel Wu, etc.

The basketball blocked by Gobert was once again picked up by Radar. Radar did not affect his mentality because of a bad attack. He immediately passed the ball to Bortle under the basket and made a free layup, finally opening up the situation for the Spurs.

Zhou Zhou: "The reaction of the radar is still fast. If it had been another player, this ball might have been lost. Fortunately, the second attack scored. Now the Jazz continues to attack. Conley passed the ball to the inside, and Bogdanovic

Facing Ade, he distributed the ball to Mitchell on the outside."

"Mitchell took a shot and got a three-pointer. Alas, Mills's defense was too average. Mitchell could score a three-pointer for him and scored three times."

Donovan Mitchell scored three goals in a row and scored 7 points by himself. The Jazz are in hot shape today.

Radar had to choose to take the shot by himself and dribbled to the three-point line. After the slump in the previous game, the feeling of shooting with perfect accuracy came back. He opened his bow and arrow, ignored the double-teaming of Mitchell and Conley, and hit the ball hard.

At times like this, it's better to rely on radar. With 3 points and an assist, you won't be blown away by the Jazz right from the start.

In fact, the current Spurs still rely more on Radar. When Aldridge is in poor condition or encounters a tough defense, most of the time they rely on Radar's personal ability to score, or break through and distribute the ball, creating more opportunities for his teammates.

Chance.

The Jazz's offense this time was not handed over to Mitchell, not because they didn't want to, but halfway through, Conley was careless and the ball was intercepted by Radar. Watching Radar assist Mills for a successful layup.

The Jazz's defense is very good, otherwise the Spurs would not have been beaten 7-2 at the start, but Radar's defense is equally terrifying, and he is targeting defenders who hold the ball.

Many teams have a headache about this. Don't they need a point guard? Who will organize the court? They need a point guard, and then the point guard can't hold the ball. Isn't that just a decoration? What's the difference between the court and 4-on-5? No

Every defender is a combo guard. Even the master of ball control, Irving, has intercepted the ball under the radar.

7 to 7, the Spurs tied the score in one breath, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

But then the Spurs' offense was blocked again. Mills and Carroll were heavily guarded when they hit the basket twice in a row. Mills made a mistake when breaking through and lost the ball. Carroll's layup was mercilessly slapped away by Gobert.

.

When the breakthrough failed, the Spurs switched to mid-range and outside shots. Radar's three-pointer was also affected by the double-teaming of Mitchell and Conley and bounced out of the basket. In four minutes, Ade scored a goal from mid-range.

, Radar scored two points on free throws.

On the other hand, on the Jazz side, Gobert did whatever he wanted inside, making alley-oop dunks, not too simple. After Mitchell's attack stopped, Ingles continued, a three-pointer and a mid-range, directly stopping the Spurs.
Chapter completed!
