"Wow! This is Lee, I like his temper!" Barkley stood up excitedly: "Deron Williams and Utah fans messed with people they shouldn't mess with."
Several gambling games made Barkley a loyal fan of Li Yan, and Li Yan never let Barkley suffer a loss.
Smith was equally excited: "This ball is great. This response ball is very morale-boosting."
"Li is not a good boy hiding behind Answers and Melon, he also has leadership qualities."
"The home stadium in Salt Lake City is not an ordinary place. Anyone who has been there knows the pressure there."
“Li’s strong character is truly a natural leader!”
Iverson immediately rushed over to high-five Li Yan to celebrate. Looking at the familiar movements and Li Yan's unruly look, he seemed to see himself back then.
After a moment of silence in the Energy Arena, harsh curses rang out.
Deron Williams advanced with the ball, thinking that he must win this damn "rookie" in the next round.
This rookie is so arrogant and has no respect for his seniors.
Deron Williams did not realize at all that he had provoked Li Yan first, but instead felt resentful in his heart.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Deron Williams uncharacteristically waved his teammates away.
Li Yan looked at Delong's "clown" behavior, and his rating of Delong dropped a lot in his mind.
In such an important game, he actually gets angry with his opponent. This is not what a mature point guard should do.
"Deron..." Boozer reminded his partner on the sidelines. He didn't want Deron Williams to get involved.
But at this time, Deron Williams was already on top, and he lost himself in the cheers of the audience.
He thought he had a winning chance.
Li Yan stepped forward decisively. If the victory or defeat of the team could be placed on himself and Deron Williams, he would choose to accept it without hesitation.
Deron was an All-Star at his peak, but this was more or less due to the addition of the Jazz system.
Li Yan's confrontation is second to none among defenders, and Deron's biggest advantage is directly eliminated by Li Yan.
One-on-one, the whole audience is open.
Li Yan seemed careless, but in fact he was fully focused.
Deron's attack failed to get rid of Li Yan's long arms and failed to hit him. Deron Williams immediately used his strong body to resist Li Yan and tried to squeeze in.
"Boom!"
In the first confrontation between the two, Delong was stopped, and Li Yan also took a small step back.
Li Yan could tell from Delong's expression that the "little fat man" didn't give in, he used his full strength.
Delong turned around and failed to get rid of Li Yan's defense, so he could only bite the bullet and continue pushing in.
"Boom!" In this round, Deron had the upper hand.
Delong was overjoyed. He had no idea that this might be a trap.
After all, no one taught Deron Williams to read more "The Art of War" when he was free.
Delong tried hard a second time, and this time Li Yan retreated even more.
The Jazz fans in the stands immediately cheered as they watched Li Yan "losing ground".
"Delong, kill this guy!"
"Babyface, Utah doesn't believe in tears."
"Hahaha, this weakling can't stand up to Delong at all."
Deron Williams is also confident, and he has tried this attack method repeatedly. Deron often uses his strong body to bully star point guards such as Chris Paul, Steve Nash, and Allen Iverson.
In his opinion, Li Yan was just a little bigger, and otherwise he was the same.
Deron Williams has even thought out his lines after scoring: You defended well, but it's a pity that you met me.
This is what Kobe Bryant said to Deron, which once caused great trauma to Deron's young mind.
Therefore, Deron Williams highly recognized the lethality of this sentence. When he thought that Li Yan had to endure such a mental attack after being hit head-on by him, he began to feel excited.
However, when he tried his best to prepare to give Li Yan a fatal blow.
"DUang!"
Deron Williams felt like he hit a wall, and Li Yan didn't even take a step back.
Deron Williams, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed due to his subsequent consecutive actions. He was trying to stabilize his center of gravity.
But Li Yan naturally had no intention of letting Delong go. The wisdom of the ancient East told him: It is better to chase the poor bandits with more courage, and not to use your reputation as an overlord!
"Snapped!"
Li Yan pounced on him like an eagle, but poor Delong had no choice but to catch him.
"boom!"
Deron Williams suffered a fatal blow and his face was filled with horror.
Li Yan's figure actually began to overlap with that of Kobe Bryant. That was Deron Williams' most fragile memory.
Delong sat on the ground in embarrassment.
At the same time, Li Yan galloped forward after completing the steal. He didn't even give Delong any attention.
Li Yan left the scene, leading the way, and there was no one in front of him.
"Boom!" A simple one-handed dunk appeared at this point, and it was immediately upgraded to the level of "Five Best Balls".
Li Yan gave Deron Williams a fatal blow head-on, and at the same time, the entire Energy Arena was silent.
Li Yan raised his hands high, the Nuggets were in sight of victory.
This is indeed the case. Except for Li Yan, the other players are gritting their teeth and persisting.
This microsecond balance was broken with Delong's defeat, just like the three armies confronting each other in ancient times. After the leader was beheaded, he immediately collapsed thousands of miles away.
The Jazz's momentum, which they had maintained throughout the game, plummeted.
Old coach Jerry Sloan was so anxious on the sidelines that he called a timeout, but to no avail.
The entire plan was ruined in one fell swoop, and Jerry Sloan felt desolate: The plan was not enough!
The Jazz's defensive intensity no longer existed, and the Nuggets immediately launched a mercury-filled offense.
The score difference in the game continued to widen, and the Jazz failed to persist until the decisive moment.
109 to 95!
The Nuggets captured the "Devil" home court that the Jazz are proud of.
