Chapter 687 Unexpected Tactical Choice

"According to our previous tactics, we will expand the defense against Ji Feng in this game. Kirilenko must follow him and press close to him. Never give Ji Feng a chance to dribble the ball directly!"

In the Jazz locker room, Sloan stood in the middle and talked about tactics. It was only 30 minutes before the start of the game, but Sloan was still emphasizing his defense of Ji Feng, which shows how much Sloan attached importance to Ji Feng.

No way, Ji Feng impressed him too deeply in the first game, breaking their defensive strategy by himself, this ability is already super giant, and Sloan will naturally place him in an important position.

So this time Sloan took the initiative to change. In addition to strengthening Boozer's offense on the offensive end, he no longer double-teamed Ji Feng, but implemented the Jordan Law. He is no longer ready to use Kirilenko's offensive ability. , his only task this time is to follow Ji Feng!

"Don't worry! Coach! I will follow him." Kirilenko said through gritted teeth. He has been training like crazy these days, and he has also analyzed Ji Feng's many games overnight. Analyzed second by second, it also gave him the confidence to defend again.

After 30 minutes, the admission ceremony was over, and the two sides stepped on the court again!

"The Jazz have not changed their starting lineup today. It is still Deron and Brewer in the backcourt, Kirilenko at No. 3, and Boozer and Okur on the inside."

"The Lakers' starting lineup turned the guard into Walton. Because of Ji Feng's existence, the Lakers' guard line can change at any time this season, while the other four generals have not changed."

With Hearn's explanation on the sidelines, the players from both sides stepped onto the court.

This time it was just a simple high-five, without too many greetings. This game is very important for both sides. The Jazz are eager to win a victory in Los Angeles, so that they can get home-court advantage. Naturally, the Lakers will not let them do so. So the atmosphere was already very tense at this time.

The courtside was still full of stars today, but there were obviously a few guys mixed in in the first few rows. The four black men were wearing Ji Feng's No. 1 jersey and holding Ji Feng's human figure standing in such a good position.

"Come on Ji Feng, COMEON, kick Utah's ass, you are the most hanging man!"

Coupled with such a loud cheering voice, these guys stand out from the crowd here. After all, most of the front row are celebrities and political and business celebrities, and they usually don't cheer in this way...

That's right, they are Ji Feng's four teammates in the street court. They are here to bring Ji Feng the best and most street cheer.

Game start!

Ji Feng found that the Jazz absolutely changed the strategy of defense, Kirilenko stuck to himself from the first minute.

'Jordan's Law'!

Ji Feng is no stranger to it, and Kirilenko is actually not bad, at least there is no black trash talk with a heavy accent, isn't it?

The first ball, Bynum was very competitive, the Lakers launched an attack, Ji Feng received the ball, but directly ran back to open up the space, Kobe flanked to Bynum, Bynum scored with his back.

"Nice job!" Sloan gave Kirilenko a thumbs up. He followed the ball very tightly, and Ji Feng did not participate in the attack.

In the next 4 minutes, AK47, who was encouraged, followed very closely. He just watched people but not the ball. Wherever Ji Feng went, he would go there. The mad dog defense made Ji Feng never catch the ball. And he doesn't catch the ball on the offensive end, he just responds.

Ji Feng's surprising 4-minute stats were all zero, scoring, rebounding, assisting, etc., were all zero, and Kirilenko was the same.

But generally speaking, this has achieved its purpose. Kirilenko is not the core of the attack. It is simply too cost-effective to use him to offset Ji Feng.

But Sloan's brows did not stretch out, because the Lakers were not only not affected by Ji Feng's scoreless, but played very smoothly. Whether it was Kobe or the inside twin towers, they felt good.

The score is now 14-12 and the Lakers are still two points ahead.

This can only explain one problem, the Lakers are ready at all, and the existence of Ji Feng in Zen Master's tactics may be used to attract firepower!

Because through Sloan's observation, although Ji Feng doesn't catch the ball, he runs a long distance, and he blocks the pick-and-roll resolutely. He just doesn't catch the ball and doesn't attack, but he has attracted a lot of defensive attention for his teammates. Power, opened up a lot of offensive space.

This is the role that the legendary data cannot reflect!

Master Zen thought early on that the Jazz would definitely change their defensive strategy. According to what he knew about Sloan, his tactics were nothing more than a few, so he guessed that Sloan was going to take a close-up on Ji Feng, and he recognized Ji Feng's score, but It is very difficult for him to make Ji Feng score, even if Ji Feng scores 50 points, but he needs to let Ji Feng occupy more of the Lakers' ball rights.

The Pistons used this tactic to keep Jordan out of the finals in a row!

But Sloan was wrong, the Lakers not only have one season peak, he also has Kobe, the real scoring machine, and Gasol, the top five power forwards in the league!

This is where the Lakers are terrifying. With the existence of the Gemini, it is not enough for them to defend!

The game went on like this. The Lakers kept battling the Jazz, and Ji Feng only scored 1 assist until the end of the first quarter. That was because Ji Feng saved the ball and passed it back, not because Ji Feng took the initiative to ask for the ball. .

The score between the two sides is the Lakers 29-25, 4 points ahead of the Jazz!

Kobe scored 10 points alone, Gasol 8 points and 4 rebounds!

But the Zen master still praised Ji Feng's role. You can see why Kirilenko was gasping for breath on the Jazz bench. He followed Ji Feng for a whole quarter, and now he has been completely swept away. Khan was surrounded.

The first quarter of Ji Feng is just one word, run!

He consumed Kirilenko's physical strength with non-stop transfers. Anyone who has played the ball knows that defense is more tiring than offense. With Ji Feng's possible running, Kirilenko's physical strength is very expensive.

But Sloan didn't dare to let go, and he didn't dare to replace Kirilenko, because there was no one else on the bench who could keep up with Ji Feng.

The depth of the bench is another shortcoming for the Jazz.

"The Lakers sacrificed Ji Feng's offensive ability and dragged the Jazz into their own rhythm. Sloan's tactics are very good, but the Lakers don't play with you." Director Zhang said during the break in the first quarter.

"That's right, when you look at Ji Feng, you get one assist, and the other stats are zero, but his role is the biggest on the court. He alone controls the rhythm of the Jazz's entire team. Not only does he make Kirilenko immobile, And let the Jazz defense not be a threat to Kobe, Brewer is not a Kobe killer." Yu Jia echoed beside him.

At this moment, Sloan faces a more severe choice on the Jazz bench, whether to change his tactics or not!
