Chapter 1187 Humans are forbidden to be dogs!(1/2)
The Grizzlies veterans were definitely in the kind of state that can only be achieved after playing hard tonight in tonight's game.
After the first quarter, we were one point behind.
But don't look at the fact that the game was one point behind in the first quarter. In fact, 2 minutes before the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies were actually in the lead.
It was only because of the continuous competition that I couldn't keep up with my physical strength, so I went from leading by 2 points to falling behind by one point.
It can be said that these veterans used their experience and strength to the extreme in the first quarter. There is really nothing they can do if they only have physical strength.
Those five players of the Seattle SuperSonics are so stable!
Each of the five players is so stable, which even the Grizzlies starters who are now on the bench find it incredible.
Of course, it was unbelievable. Although the Grizzlies veterans were not too satisfied with the performance in the first quarter, they also knew that they had tried their best.
"If we could have the three-point shooting ability we have now three or four years ago!"
McGrady's face looked a bit unattractive.
If they had the current golf IQ and three-point shooting ability when they were still at their peak, they absolutely believe that the Grizzlies can definitely succeed in the NBA!
In the first quarter of this game, they proved that they can work seamlessly with Oden. They and Oden can have an unimaginable chemical reaction. They are the players most suitable for Oden, but they are already a little old.
But, to be honest, Oden at his peak, McGrady, Carter and Battier at his peak who can shoot more than 40% of three-pointers, plus Gasol at his peak as a ball player, this lineup is
, can definitely be called the nemesis of small ball teams.
It's a pity that McGrady's three-point shooting was never stable before the playoffs last season.
So over the years, although they and Oden still seem to match well, they are never smooth enough.
Although it has been lubricated now, the parts have aged.
This is a regret, and it is a huge regret.
If McGrady could never hit a three-pointer, they wouldn't have such regrets.
Of course, on the NBA stage, there are no ifs.
Although no one wants to have regrets, if you really regret it, you really need a reason.
But no matter what, the first quarter between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Grizzlies was really exciting.
The Grizzlies also showed the world through the first quarter of this game that they are indeed capable of becoming the Seattle SuperSonics' terminator.
"On the court, the Grizzlies are the best team against the Seattle SuperSonics so far this season!"
Not to mention Barkley, even Kenny Smith thinks so.
In his mind, the Cavaliers are the team that should play such a game the most.
But because of James, in the game against the SuperSonics, James was knocked unconscious with a stick as soon as the game started. In the end, the Cavaliers had great strength, but they were not able to show it in the end.
Therefore, the Grizzlies in this game proved that in NBA games, strength is one thing, and mentality is another. If James cannot truly mature his mentality, he will only mature his mouth.
, just saying a bunch of things that seem right and domineering, then he can never say that he can replace Yes and rule the entire NBA!
Of course, Kenny Smith is still very optimistic about James. With Anthony by his side, James has really grown a lot over the years.
But it will take some time before it truly matures.
In Kenny Smith's view, the true sign of James' city is to remove the "king" from his Twitter name "king-James", then he will truly grow and mature.
The word "King" gave James too much falsehood, and made him carry too much airs and baggage that he should not have carried.
Barkley hacked James a lot in this game, and this is not the first time.
Basically, this kind of game that can exude a strong charm of competitive sports can become the source of Barkley's black James.
As Barkley's partner, he no longer cares much about it. Sometimes he actually makes a few jokes.
What he hopes most now is that after watching such a game and hearing so many negative words about him, James will not just be angry, but actually make changes.
Watching a game like the SuperSonics and Grizzlies that can bring about a collision of spirits is one less game.
Of course, Kenny Smith definitely doesn't know how James feels when watching this game.
After a short break, the rotation players of the two teams returned to the court.
The Seattle SuperSonics still have a full rotation lineup led by Rondo.
Milicic, Millsap, Ingles, Danny Green and Rondo.
The Grizzlies also have a full rotation lineup.
In fact, the Grizzlies' rotation lineup in the past two seasons has always been a full rotation.
Four of the five starters are in their thirties, and the value of these people staying with Oden is the greatest.
If you really want them to lead the rotation alone, not only will the effect be ineffective, but it will also waste their little physical energy.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies' rotation has always been very good because of the team's focus on training.
Jerry Bayless, Courtney Lee, Mike Miller, James Johnson, Coster Koufos.
Of course, the Grizzlies' very good rotation players are not so good-looking in front of the Seattle SuperSonics rotation players.
If you just look at the lineup, the rotation lineups of the Grizzlies and SuperSonics are really incomparable.
But a basketball game has never been about lineups. If it was just about lineups, then as long as both sides lay out their lineups, there would be no need to compete.
After all, NBA players who can appear on the court are not weak.
There is a gap in strength, but except for super giants like Ye Si or other superstars, the gap between other All-Stars and role players is actually not that big.
Therefore, no matter how strong the Seattle SuperSonics players seem to be, there is still no real superstar or super giant to lead the team, so the Grizzlies can still beat them.
This is the idea of Grizzlies coach Hollins, the Grizzlies players, and the Grizzlies fans at the scene.
Therefore, after the game started in the second quarter, the Grizzlies fans at the scene were really cheering crazily for these boys of their team.
The first quarter of the game really gave them hope of winning this game.
As long as the team doesn't overdo it during the rotation in this game, then the Grizzlies may have a very good game!
However, when the second quarter started, the excited Grizzlies fans and Grizzlies head coach Hollins, who had some expectations for the Grizzlies' substitutes in this game, heard the crisp cat bell ringing in their ears.
, everyone who was originally cheering fell silent for a while.
Hollins, who was expecting something, now had his face completely darkened.
Jerry Bayless, who was guarding the three-point line, looked three steps beyond the three-point line. He had just pushed the ball past half court. When he heard the bell, he reacted three steps beyond the three-point line like a dog's spine.
Pulling it up from a distance, Bayles was completely confused.
A swipe!
In the silence of the scene, the sound of basketball brushing against the net seemed particularly clear.
Bayless slowly turned around and looked at the basketball that had been thrown by Rondo and had rolled to the ground.
Then he turned his head again and looked at the expressionless Supersonic No. 2 in front of him, with his mouth pouting stubbornly.
Bayless felt that he had gone to the wrong place, or that he was dreaming now?
He entered the league in 2008, but since entering the league, he has been playing as a substitute.
At that time, Rondo was always the starter.
He has never faced an offense like Rondo's.
He also has never had any experience guarding Rondo.
Regarding Rondo's defensive method, there is no full-court press defense.
A full-court press against Rondo?
Is this because you hate yourself for not dying quickly enough?
Considering Rondo's ball-handling and passing abilities, pressing him full court is tantamount to seeking death.
However, if you don't press Rondo full court, how can you defend Rondo's attack?
Bayless doesn't understand.
Regardless of whether you have previous experience guarding Rondo.
He doesn't even understand.
Not to mention Bayless, even Kobe in front of the TV, to be honest, he didn't know how to defend Rondo.
It should be said that the entire league does not know how to defend Rondo, who used to stand beside Yes, but is now controlled like a dog by Yes's cat bell.
"This guy is such a bitch, really such a bitch!"
The first attack can make opponents doubt their lives. In this alliance, except for Ye Si, Rondo is the only one left.
The number one mythical beast in the NBA is truly well-deserved.
In the second quarter of the game against the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation, the Grizzlies had great expectations.
But after the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies players quickly put back their unrealistic expectations.
During the rotation phase of the second quarter, the combat effectiveness of the Seattle SuperSonics rotation players led by Rondo was definitely far beyond their imagination.
To be continued...
