Chapter 139: Death Field, Salt Lake City
In the next game, the Los Angeles Lakers will face the Utah Jazz.
When talking about the Utah Jazz, we have to mention another thing.
That is their death ground!
This home court is very interesting because the Jazz's winning rate at home has always been high.
The reason why their winning rate has remained high is very interesting.
That's because of Salt Lake City.
The altitude is too high!!
Except for the home players who have adapted to this altitude for a long time, most of the other players will show symptoms of altitude sickness after arriving at this stadium...
I can't do anything!!
How to fight if you can't use your strength?
Therefore, this Salt Lake City home stadium has always been called the home stadium of death.
The Lakers will next face the Utah Jazz on the road.
After Sashiro learned about this, he really took a deep breath.
You really are my brother!
I don't have much physical strength to begin with, and I have to run to a place like this to fight.
If this incident didn't surprise Sashiro, it would probably lead to an accident.
Are we going to lose this game...?
Crucially, Sashiro had never experienced altitude sickness.
What should I do?
To be honest, he was still a little worried about this matter.
However, as a professional player, Sashiro should give his all no matter where his home court is.
So he simply stopped thinking about it.
However, at this moment he suddenly saw another message on his mobile phone.
It's a private message on Weibo.
"Tearful gingerbread man?"
Sashiro smiled, this ID is really interesting.
But when Sashiro saw the content of the message, he was still a little surprised.
Because the content of this message clearly states:
"The Jazz will start Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio, and Derrick Favors in the first quarter..."
"In the first quarter, they will use a fast break mode to consume your physical strength to the greatest extent and make the most of their home advantage."
"Starting from the second quarter, they will take ..."
"By the third quarter, if they realize they haven't widened the gap, they'll..."
"So the fourth quarter is when you really need to catch up!"
"That's why you need to adopt as much defensive strategies as possible in the first quarter, preserve your energy to the greatest extent possible, and adapt to the rhythm of the game."
"Especially you! Don't try your best to catch up just because you are behind in the first quarter! Do you hear me?!"
...
Sashiro looked at the news.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
His first reaction was.
Is there a traitor in the Jazz???
Spy??
This is too detailed both in terms of tactics and arrangements.
If he said that this was not a strategy that he had known in advance and then sent out, he himself would not believe it.
Because this is really too detailed, so detailed that he believes everything the coach said even if it only takes a few seconds or minutes.
Could it be a time traveler? !
Maybe I am in a novel now.
For example...
"Rebirth: I am a coach in the NBA? ? "
Novels like this?
But Sashiro thought again and felt that this was probably not a message from someone who already knew the plot in advance.
After all, when this person spoke to the end, he clearly had his own tone.
Has this person been watching his own games?
Sashiro clicked on the person's profile picture and personal detailed information page.
But at this time he discovered that apart from the messages just now, this person rarely updated his personal status.
Even the signature was not changed.
Could it be this trumpet?
Sashiro didn't understand either. He was a little skeptical about this matter, but he still replied to this account:
"Thank you for paying attention to my game. I will try my best."
...
At the same time, on the other side.
When Jiang Lier saw the message that popped up on her phone, her face turned red instantly and she buried her head.
Like a steam engine!
He kept muttering to himself:
"Who asked you to thank me? I didn't pay attention to your game... I'm still mad at you for rejecting me... hen!"
Meanwhile, she was still constantly convincing herself in her heart.
I'm not doing this to let him compete, I'm doing this to prove that my prediction is correct!
Right!
That's it!!
Anyway, although the news came out of nowhere, Sashiro still kept it in mind after seeing it.
The day of the competition soon arrived.
The Lakers players also followed the team to the Salt Lake City home of the Utah Jazz.
Here they can see that the fans at the scene are very enthusiastic!
Various major media outlets were already waiting around the venue.
This year's Lakers topic can be said to be quite hot.
As a powerful team, the Lakers have a natural advantage over other teams in terms of topics and popularity.
This year, after they acquired Sashiro, this feature was brought into play even more obviously.
So many topics!
Huge commercial value!!
Before the game, TNT Sports Media made their own judgment on the game.
At home in Salt Lake City, the Lakers might win this game by a small margin.
This report combines the Lakers' status in the previous few games, as well as the lineups, data, etc. of both sides...
It cannot be said that this report is without reason, but the majority of fans do not agree with it.
"Come on!! This is Salt Lake City!!"
"At an altitude of 1,200 meters, most people can't stand it, right?"
"Yes, not to mention high-load and high-intensity exercise in this environment."
"Even top professional basketball players are not as good at this arena as they are elsewhere every year, and their statistics are likely to decline."
"What's more, this Lakers rookie is participating in this kind of competition for the first time this year and he has no experience."
"Anyway, I think the legend of the Death Field will continue..."
In fact, many fans are not pessimistic about the Lakers' strength.
But in this game.
They do feel that the environment of the Death Home is equivalent to adding a debuff.
The impact on the Lakers should still be huge.
On the other hand, the fans are most concerned about another super rookie of the Jazz.
Mitchell!
This is the player who joined the league at the same time as Sashiro!
This guard, who was selected with the 18th pick in the first round, has performed quite well in this season.
His proficiency and experience are incredible, and he is a rookie guard.
And today he will face Sashiro, the No. 1 draft pick who joined the league at the same time as him, at home! !
