NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

Su Hao was the Suns' nightmare of a run-and-gun offense, allowing the Clippers to ultimately defeat the Phoenix Suns by 10 points and extend their winning streak to 20 games.

After the game.

Drexler praised the Clippers, saying, "At the beginning of the season, who would have thought that such a young team could achieve a 20-game winning streak?"

LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, and even Michael Jordan, all of whom were just entering the league.

They also couldn't lead their weak teams to the best record in the league.

All I can say is that... "Hulk" Su Hao, with his extraordinary talent, has demonstrated an astonishing ability to lead a team.

It's amazing.

Now, they are just around the corner to catch the Rockets' 22-game winning streak.

"Yes."

Ian Thompson nodded and added, "However... the next opponents will not be easy to deal with either."

Jazz, Pistons, and Rockets.

The Jazz's home court is known as the "devil's home court," and despite their current record of 13 wins and 7 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference, they are still formidable opponents.

but.

Their home record is 9 wins and 1 loss, with a winning percentage as high as 90%.

It can be said that the Jazz are almost invincible on their home court.

The Pistons' record was also mediocre.

However... the Pistons had Ben Wallace, whose explosive physique allowed him to rival Shaquille O'Neal at his peak.

The Clippers are certainly strong.

Ke Qiang's absolute dominance in the restricted area lies in Su Hao's strength.

If Ben Wallace can defeat Su Hao and limit Su Hao to some extent, the Clippers will definitely collapse.

The Pistons have a chance to upset the Clippers.

If the Clippers can overcome this, they will have a 22-game winning streak, tying with the Rockets for the second-longest winning streak in history.

That seems interesting too.

"Yes."

Drexler's eyes burned with excitement. "The milestone is right in front of us, and the Clippers are the public enemy of the league. It will be interesting to witness the Clippers make history, and it will be very exciting to make the Clippers give up their first blood."

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

So... all we can do is look forward to the next Clippers game.

……

Two days later.

Clippers players and staff flew together to Salt Lake City tonight at EnergySolutions Arena to challenge... the Utah Jazz.

10 o'clock in the morning.

The Jazz locker room.

Led by Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, the players were all fired up.

"Humph!"

Deron Williams scoffed, "Finally, the day has come. Finally, the day has come... to play the Clippers on our own turf, in our intimidating home court."

tonight.

This will undoubtedly be a battle of revenge against Su Hao.

revenge?

Yes.

In the opening game of the new season, Su Hao's first game in his career was against the Jazz, where he blocked Deron Williams and crushed Carlos Boozer.

This left the Jazz's two core players, both All-Stars, utterly humiliated.

The Jazz are effectively grounded in the restricted area.

Su Hao exploded for 22 points, 30 rebounds, and 13 blocks, breaking four records and standing above the entire Jazz team... shining brightly throughout the league.

They couldn't possibly tolerate this.

This humiliation must be avenged.

And in their own "devil's home court," the Jazz possess this ability.

"Smash the Clippers, end their 20-game winning streak—that's something we can do, something we'll do with our 10-1 home record!!!"

Boozer was full of confidence.

10 wins and 1 loss at home?!

That's right.

On the same night the Clippers extinguished the Suns, the Jazz also tore apart the "Thunder Trio" at home, continuing to maintain their terrifying winning percentage at their "devil's home court."

The "Utah Twins" of Malone and Stockton once struck fear into the hearts of countless players in the league.

The Deron Williams + Carlos Boozer pick-and-roll, with the home-court advantage, is now causing headaches for many teams.

Then the problem is coming.

Why is the Jazz's home court called the "devil's home court"?

Why is there such a large difference in the Jazz's home and away winning percentages?

First, the Jazz's home court is in Salt Lake City, which is located at an altitude of over 1300 meters. The air is thin due to the high altitude.

There is a risk of altitude sickness.

Although NBA players generally have very good physical attributes, they are still affected to some extent.

The players from Salt Lake City have been training here for a long time and have naturally adapted to the environment, allowing them to consistently perform at their best.

Second, the atmosphere at the Jazz arena is too intense.

This is a small city, so there weren't many away fans; almost all the fans were home fans, and everyone was united.

The cheers and shouts of unity against a common enemy created a powerful atmosphere.

Many Jazz fans are Mormons who deeply value "loyalty" and therefore offer absolute support to their team.

Even excessive.

He went too far, hurling insults and profanities at the visiting team players, completely displaying aggression.

One person can insult you, two people can insult you, but if it's a group of people, they'll relentlessly mock and insult you when you're not doing well.

If a full 20,000 people boo you.

Imagine how many players could withstand this scenario.

Anyone who isn't a clutch player.

Generally, they will only be more affected, their condition will get worse and worse, and they will make mistakes, errors, and reckless attacks, which will only make things worse.

Third, the Jazz's tenacious defense.

Just like teams such as the Pistons and Kings, their locker room culture emphasizes competition, with strong teams employing intense and tenacious defense.

As a result, every Jazz player has a strong desire to attack and defend.

Their defensive moves are quite aggressive, and they can maintain that throughout the entire game, even for several hours. Most teams' players simply can't handle that.

Fourth, the stadium factor.

The structure of the energy solution players is like a series of steep mountain peaks that keep climbing, giving the feeling of being surrounded and swallowed up by the mountains from bottom to top.

Full of oppression.

Of course... this sense of pressure only applies to visiting teams that come to challenge them.

Four factors combined.

This would allow the Utah Jazz to be in a situation where their overt fighting strength might not be absolutely dominant.

With a winning percentage consistently above 90% at their "devil's home court," it is one of the most difficult home courts to conquer in the league.

The Clippers have won 20 straight games.

It looks like defeating the Jazz will be easy, but in reality... it will be quite difficult. It will be a tough battle, and that's where the Jazz's confidence comes from.

"Upset the Clippers and defend the glory of the 'devil's home court'."

"Smash the Clippers and get revenge!"

The Jazz are full of confidence and fighting spirit; they are ready to take the first blood from the Clippers!

As night falls.

This showdown is about to begin.

8 p.m.

There is still half an hour until the match.

"boom!"

The stadium was filled with the deafening noise of drums and gongs, and the cheers and shouts were much louder than the noise produced when a Boeing 747 takes off.

The feeling of oppression was intense.

It felt suffocating.

"???"

Curry felt a chill run down his spine. "Aren't the Salt Lake City fans a little too excited? Is that cheering and shouting even real?!"

That decibel level is absolutely astonishing!

I'm inexplicably feeling anxious.

Gordon took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Su Hao's eyes lit up, then he smiled slightly, "So this is the famous Jazz 'Magic's Home Court,' huh? The atmosphere... is definitely something else!!!"
