Chapter 329: The 1997 All-Star Game begins (3)

With the collapse of the Seattle Supersonics this season, many teams in the Western Conference have indeed seen a place where they can compete with the Bulls for the championship. None of the Western powers expected that the Sonics dynasty would wither so quickly. This also gave them surprises. Not so late, so it is everyone's recognition to retain strength in the All-Star Game.

Let’s take a look at the players on the Western Conference All-Star roster from the current Western Conference regular season rankings. The Utah Jazz ranked first in the Western Conference include Karl Malone and John Stockton; the Houston Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference have Haki. The three players of M. Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler all need to compete for the Western Conference championship.

Let’s take a look at the others, Eddie Jones of the Los Angeles Lakers, Anfenni Hardaway of the Portland Trail Blazers, Mitch Richmond of the Sacramento Kings, and Detrev Schramf of the Seattle Supersonics. , Finally, the Dallas Mavericks Grant Hill and Jason Kidd, these are to contribute to the team's final fight for valuable playoff spots.

It can be said that if Jordan fights fiercely in the east, then basically no one in the west can resist, because the reason is very simple, how to fight with people's hearts, one by one abacus is beating the thieves, if they really start their hands, they will be fearful again. .

The head coach of the Western Army, Jerry Sloan, was drunk watching the performance of these players. They had no fighting spirit before they started to play. They were just walking through the field. How could this not upset Jerry Sloan!

The most annoying thing was the words that Stern had entered the game early in the morning to warn. It can be said that Stern was exactly like someone sent by the enemy to affect their morale. See what these people are like.

Two or three people gathered together and talked and laughed, and Jerry Sloan shook his head stumblingly.

"Everyone, come here, I'm going to lay out tactics!" No way, Jerry Sloan could only clap his hands and shout loudly.

Finally everyone knew that there would be a game in a while, the head coach was impatient with waiting, and the respective players put away their own thoughts and gathered together.

"I won't say much about the importance of today's game. There will be a 50-star award ceremony in the midfield. There are so many people on the scene, as well as retired players who have been selected for the 50-star superstar. I I believe you will not disappoint the fans at the scene, right?"

Jerry Sloan didn't talk about tactics at the beginning, he just wanted to adjust the mentality of this group of soy sauce players, who would show him a lazy look!

"I'm going to talk about tactics now. In fact, everyone is very familiar with it. The Jazz have always played pick-and-roll tactics, and Karl was pulled out of the penalty area..."

In terms of tactics, Jerry Sloan is definitely the first choice for pick-and-rolls. Not to mention that the Jazz has basically not encountered too much resistance in the west with the pick-and-rolls. As far as they are familiar, the pick-and-rolls are also the most suitable for the current one. A Western All-Star team.

Why? Because there are Carl Malone and John Stockton, the "Utah Shuangsha" pair, this is the guarantee to play the pick and roll. Others only need to cooperate as well as those players in the Jazz, and Jerry Sloan believes Every team also uses the pick-and-roll tactics, so you don't need to have a tacit understanding to try it out.

The other players in the West didn’t say anything when they heard Jerry Sloan’s theory. Everyone knows the pick-and-rolls. Besides, it’s just the stupid man who made the wall. Others have no pressure at all, as long as they don’t come out on their own. Pick and roll will do.

"Well, the coach, do I only perform pick-and-roll tactics?! I mainly mean the need to arrange other tactics to play. If the east side is arranged for us, the pick-and-roll effect will definitely be greatly reduced... "

Eddie Jones, who made the All-Star for the first time, is also a little nervous. Although he is only coming off the bench, he definitely wants to perform better for the first time he was selected for the All-Star game. Of course, if the West is like this It would be better if the side could win, and Eddie Jones had to remind Jerry Sloan a little bit.

"Oh, that's right, Eddie's point is a bit reasonable, but I believe the No. 1 Jazz in the Western Conference is the best example. I have been full-time pick-and-roll for so many years. In terms of familiarity, I can say that no one in the league can match it. Besides, the Jazz, currently ranked No. 1 in the West, uses pick-and-roll tactics. I don’t think anyone can easily target it!"

Jerry Sloan doesn't blame Eddie Jones for questioning his ability. After all, Eddie Jones is also the first All-Star. This is normal. Everyone wants to win, but how to win is up to me.

John Stockton and Karl Malone think Eddie Jones is an idiot. We haven’t seen our Jazz have only lost five games in the regular season. Strength is the most important thing. You newcomer dare to question The old man could hardly live or die.

The other All-Star players also shook their shoulders and felt that it was no big deal. Their mission in this game was to play, how to be happy and how to play.

"I will give everyone plenty of time to show their strength in a while. Whether it is a starter or a substitute player, everyone will have the opportunity to show themselves."

"..."

Jerry Sloan looked around and spoke directly to the All-Star players who were obviously absent.

In fact, this is also something Jerry Sloan didn’t know. First of all, John Stockton and Karl Malone must not play for too long. Well, if they play too long, if there is a conflict, then this matter. It’s a big game. You must know that today’s All-Star game is of national concern, so these two impulsive boys must not be allowed to spend too much time on the court; the second is that the regular season game time will be relatively long. I need these two people to maintain good health and condition to prepare for the first place in the Western Conference regular season.

Although the second-ranked Houston Rockets are still a few games away from the Jazz, they can still catch up in minutes to catch up. They are Hakim Olajuwon + Clyde Drexler + Charles. Barkley, the "Big Three" is also very strong, alright!

If possible, Jerry Sloan really wants these three people to spend more time, so that they can consume their strength, if they are injured, it would be the best, but as a more "righteous" Jerry Sloan certainly Disdain to use such "dirty" methods, if both sides specify tactics, Jerry Sloan will definitely use any tactics that can hit the opposing team at all costs, but now it is an All-Star game, if it is true He couldn't forgive himself if the three of them were in an accident.

This is how hard Jerry Sloan did not come from Larry Miller. If it were Larry Miller, it would definitely kill the players who prevented him from competing for the Western Conference championship.

Of course, this is also the Rockets’ "Big Three" who came to their room together last night and told Jerry Sloming that there should be less playing time in this game.

People have already notified in advance that they can still do it. As a celebrity coach of the league, he still has this cultivation. He also knows why the Rockets "Big Three" do this. Everyone is tacitly tacitly aware!

"Carl, John, come here." After finishing the tactics, Jerry Sloan called John Stockton and Karl Malone.

I must give these two boys a wake-up call. If something goes wrong in this game, it will not be fun. Maybe the Jazz will not have the chance to meet the Bulls in the finals this year.
