Chapter 203 Jazz Lineup
"In the past 90s, after a season, the Utah Jazz often won 35-36 games at home, and only lost 5-6 games. Although they always lose away games, they have won 7 consecutive victories at home."

On the plane to Salt Lake City, Mark Osorsky told the players about the history of the Utah Jazz and some of the current players.

"Isn't it, so scary?" Carlos Boozer exclaimed.

As a slightly older player in the team, Ilgauskas has been to the Utah Jazz's home court several times. He still has experience, and said: "There are fanatical fans there. After the game starts, you will know, That home cheer was louder than ours."

Whether it's cold weather, altitude sickness or Utah fans, this is a very big test for the Cavaliers.Ling Bo has internal strength, and the climate and altitude sickness can't help him. He can also turn a deaf ear to the fans at the scene, and his heart is as calm as water.

Mark Osorsky continued: "The Utah Jazz's double evil era has passed, and the current lineup is much worse than before. We must pay attention to Andrei Kirilenko."

Andrei Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK-47", was selected by the Utah Jazz in the first round of the 1999 NBA draft with the 24th pick, and then joined the CSKA Moscow team. In 2001, he officially became a Utah Jazz player.

In the 2001-02 season, Andrei Kirilenko was on the NBA Rookie First Team.Andrei Kirilenko became the main force of the Jazz in 2 after sitting on the bench for 2003 years.

Regardless of the young age of this player, the potential cannot be ignored.Andrei Kirilenko ranked fourth in the league in steals and fifth in blocks, becoming the first player in NBA history to rank in the top five in both technical statistics.

Kirilenko combines the stability of European players and the toughness of American players. Although his body looks a little weak, his tough style in the interior often brings unexpected help to the team.His offense is mostly mid-range shots and inside strong attacks, and his shots are not stable.In terms of defense, due to his good jumping, long arms, and good shot-blocking awareness, AK has become the league's most terrifying defensive player and shot-blocking master.When defending outside players, he can also use his long arms to create steals and form fast breaks.

"So whether it's Carlos, LeBron, or Ling playing against him today, we must be careful and reduce mistakes." Mark Osorsky urged.

Carlos - Boozer replied: "This is a gibbon, my height, such a good wingspan."

James said: "It is precisely because of the wingspan and good jumping that people can become defensive masters. This is the gap between you and them."

Boozer snorted and said, "I'm going to blow him up offensively."

The Jazz's second-leading scorer, also a forward, is Matt Harpring.

In 1998, he was selected by the Orlando Magic at the 15th place in the first round. In 2001, he was transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers. - A few, like Williams, know something about him.

Eric Williams said: "He only played 6 games in one season in the Cavaliers, started 4 games, and averaged 8.6 points per game, but after going to the Jazz, his statistics have increased significantly.

Perhaps it fits well with the Jazz's iron-blooded defense. His background as a football player makes him tough, strong in physical confrontation, good at close defense, decisive and ruthless, capable of acting, unyielding, and fights bloody until the last moment.

Good defense, precise running, good shooting, not limited by distance, high tactical literacy, is a player who scores on the court.Has the simplicity and touch of European players, the physical fitness of blacks, and an absolute titan. "

Ling Bo glanced at LeBron James and said, "It seems that you will also encounter some troubles today."

James smiled and said: "We have even defeated the new bad boy army, and we are still afraid of them, even if we come."

Carlos Boozer asked: "Are they all about defense?"

Mark Osorsky shook his head and said: "Of course not, they also have good players on offense.

Shooting guard Gordon Kirisek, from Croatia, is good at three-pointers, breakthroughs at the basket, and pull-up jumpers.There is no start-up speed at the level of McGrady and Iverson, and the change of direction in front of the body is not as gorgeous as Steve Francis, but it is equally easy and freehand.Occasionally soaring to the basket and dunking, but relying on unexpected take-offs and lightning-fast release speed jump shots after breaking through is a signature move.

The ability to find open space without the ball is excellent, and the three-pointer in the open space is like picking something out of a bag.Compared with pure shooters like Peja, his offense with the ball is many grades higher, which makes the opponent always keep a distance when defending him, so he can always shoot on the defender's head accurate to the millimeter. three-pointer. "

Ling Bo said confidently, "I can guard against him."

Everyone smiled slightly, and no one denied Limbo. In the hearts of the Cavaliers, Limbo is omnipotent, including assistant coach Mark Ossowski.

But Osorsky said: "No, Ling, your defense is their PG, Carlos Arroyo, as long as you defend the pass from their guard, their offense will stall. This is a team. Attack the weak and defend the strong team."

Carlos Arroyo's ball handling can definitely be described as gorgeous.The balanced ball control skills of the left and right hands, coupled with a variety of skilled footwork, make him appear calm when changing directions or breaking through the dribble.Facing the pressure of the opponent, he can make difficult movements such as dribbling behind the back and turning around in high-speed sports.

Arroyo has good vision, can keenly perceive the emergence of opportunities on the court, and can also read the defense very well.The passing was well timed.

Arroyo is more typical offensive strong defensive weak type.Due to the limitations of his own conditions, he lacks the height and strength needed for defense, and he basically has nothing to do with stronger or taller defenders.Moreover, when defending, his awareness of position selection is not good enough, even if the speed is fast enough, it is difficult to keep up with the opponent's breakthrough.But Arroyo's dexterity still gives him some advantage in steals.He usually observes the opponent's movements and takes the ball away when the opponent is about to change hands.

After Mark Osorsky's narration, Limbo said confidently: "I will let him know what is the real speed and what is called a steal."

Carlos Boozer immediately echoed: "That's right, he forced him to be strong, and Limbo can defend himself."

Perhaps in the eyes of Carlos Boozer, Eric Williams and other teammates, those who can guard against Limbo have either retired or not yet born.
