167 Jackson: If the Lakers don't win the championship, they'll be the biggest joke in the NBA 3
Deron's partner, Ozer Busser, was a little floating, and he said with the microphone, "Deron, you're not right to say that." Be bold and remove it too. Our Utah Jazz is the strongest. There's nothing great about the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, but if we want to, we can do it.
Boozer was a little ...... what he said
It's
like not being able to take out 10 yuan in your purse, and saying that 10,000 yuan is nothing.
Reporter, "Where does your confidence come from?"
Boozer, "because we are the Utah Sizzers... The
reporter wanted to ask something, but the reporter seemed to have thought of something and quickly covered his mouth.
It is undeniable that during this period of time, I don't know if it is the convenience of the schedule, or other factors, or the players have found their form.
It's been a time when the Jazz have been in super good shape.
Third in the league in offensive efficiency and fourth in defensive efficiency.
In the past five games, they have won five games in a row, including the Boston Celtics, who have beaten 13 consecutive wins, and are now the hot favorites to win the NBA, as well as the San Antonio Spurs, who are second in the West, and the Orlando Magic, who are second in the East.
After this wave of 5 consecutive wins, for a while, the Utah Jazz were in the limelight.
No one thinks that the goal they set at the beginning of the season is so illusory.
At the beginning of the season, Boozer was interviewed by the media about his outlook for the new season, and Boozer made it clear that "winning that damn championship for Coach Sloan... Of
course, no one would take what he said seriously.
But now, the Utah Jazz is really fierce.
After this wave of five consecutive wins, they moved to third place in the Western Conference, blowing up the Houston Rockets' chrysanthemum, and only two wins away from the San Antonio Spurs in second place in the West.
They still have a chance.
In the past five games, the Utah Jazz have played their classic 2 masterpieces this season. Among them, one is an 18-point reversal of the Boston Celtics, and the other is a 16-point reversal of the San Antonio Spurs.
In the past week, the Utah Jazz also squeezed out the Celtics and Spurs in the latest combat power rankings, ranking second in the league, second only to the Lakers.
Now, the Lakers have encountered the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City back-to-back, and it is not easy to get through, which is almost the unanimous opinion of all media.
Lakers vs Jazz pre-game.
ESPN Live Room.
Is this a heavyweight match, or a ball destined to go down in history.
Therefore, for this game, ESPN also prepared 2 heavyweight commentators for the game, and the hosts were Stephen A Smith and Mark Jackson.
In a regular season game, ESPN sent this kind of heavyweight commentary, which shows how much they value this game.
Match preview.
Stephen A Jackson mentioned to Mark Jackson, "Mark, what do you think of this game?"
In response, Mark Jackson said, "The advantage is on the Utah Jazz side."
Stephen A Jackson was puzzled, "The Lakers are 33 consecutive wins." My big brother, didn't you wake up?"
Mark Jackson smiled mysteriously, as if the world thought I was too crazy, and I laughed at the way the world couldn't see what I was wearing, he said, "I said that the advantage is on the side of the Utah Jazz, and the Lakers can't set a new NBA winning streak, I said." "
Stephen A. Smith was a little confused, and he looked at the director, is this a pre-arranged script? But when he looked at the director, he kept looking at him, and it didn't look like it? Could it be that this guy was dying?
Before he could say anything, Mark Jackson said, "Stephen, it's not me spraying you, actually, you academics don't understand ball, really, don't understand ball." Let me tell you why the Lakers have to lose. "
Stephen A. Smith is gone," the Lakers are on
a 33-game winning streak, right?" Mark Jackson was dismissive, "What does this mean? If they don't win the championship this season, then the 33-game winning streak is a joke, and they will become the strongest and saddest background emperor in history, and they will be crucified on the pillar of shame in NBA history." Stephen
A. Smith was speechless.
Mark Jackson continued, "No matter how good you were in the regular season, in order to truly mark your place in history, you have to finish with a championship. Can the Lakers win the championship with their current roster? Obviously, not. They can't do anything with Spurs. They can't do anything ......about the Celtics
," Stephen A. Smith was still unconvinced, saying, "Championships come every year, but 33 consecutive wins are not common, and the Lakers' winning streak is even longer. The NBA has been around for so long, and it has only appeared once. Even if the Lakers can't win the championship at the end of the season, they should be remembered for setting this historical record. Mark
Jackson, "That's the end of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak."
Stephen A. Jackson was puzzled, and "what ???" looked incredulous and hard to believe.
Mark Jackson, "Don't believe it. "
......
Lakers vs Jazz.
The second meeting of the regular season kicked off as scheduled.
The Jazz, who waited for work, played extremely strong at the beginning.
DeLong was very active, hanging 2 covers at the beginning of the game, and directly stopped the middle distance.
2 shots.
4-0。
Lakers ball possession.
Bryant tried 1 3-pointer and didn't.
Liu Xing picked up the rebound, and he could play it himself.
However, at the beginning of the game, Liu Xing was a little slow to enter the state, and he still wanted to let his teammates open it first.
Given to Odom, Odom half-volleyed.
Not really.
Boozer gets the ball.
The ball is given to Delon.
DeLong holds the ball and pushes the counter-attack.
hit the Lakers behind him, scored 2 points, Fisher fouled, still couldn't resist, and Delon scored 2+1.
DeLong stepped up to the free throw line and added free throws.
7-0
. The Jazz started the game with a 7-0 run.
The Lakers have seen the big scene and are not in a hurry, the ball is transmitted 3 times, the ball is in Fisher's hands, and the empty space appears.
Fisher was open for 3 points, still no.
Jazz's counterattack.
It's still Delon, however, this time the Lakers' defense is in place, and DeLong counterattacked and pushed up, but there was no opportunity to break behind him.
As soon as it opened, the Zen master was particularly attentive to Delon, and he knew very well that DeLong was the engine of the Jazz, and if he restrained Delong, the defense of the Jazz was almost half the success.
Therefore, at the beginning, he directly replaced Ariza in front of Delon.
Ariza's defense is what he's good at.
However, in the face of a short defender like Delon, his lack of speed was caught.
Strong protrusion.
Ariza was like a frightened bird, the defense retreated too much, Delon made a quick stop, the opportunity appeared, and Delon made a quick stop jumper.
