After the first quarter of the game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies, the two teams were tied at 34. This really surprised many people.

The Grizzlies performed very well in the first quarter.

In terms of performance in the first quarter, the Sonics were suppressed by the Grizzlies' solid offense and defense. Even though they were suppressed and couldn't do anything of their own, the Sonics were able to draw with the Grizzlies.

After watching the first game, the Grizzlies fans at the scene really wanted to scold them. They were so unreasonable!

The Grizzlies have gone all out, and the SuperSonics have been suppressed, but Yes still has no offense. He uses his organization and passing to organize Rondo and Durant to defeat McGrady and Battier.

In this game against the SuperSonics, the Grizzlies' goal is to prevent Yeez from scoring 20 points. The premise of this goal is that the Grizzlies can win.

If the Grizzlies can't win, this goal has no value.

In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies could only tie with the SuperSonics despite going all out. This really gave the Grizzlies a great sense of crisis.

No matter how big your advantage is in the game, a draw is a draw.

Since the game was tied in the first quarter, the Grizzlies had to get back on track in the second quarter.

This season the Grizzlies, Lakers and Heat are called super teams.

The Grizzlies, Lakers and Heat are not only super in the starting lineup, but the bench rotations of these three teams are also super.

The Grizzlies' players on the court at the beginning of the second quarter were Gasol, Hakeem Warrick, Mike Miller, Lowry and Andre Miller.

The Grizzlies' rotation this season generally adopts the method of one main player and four substitutes.

In tonight's game, because Gasol played very easily against Millsap, he took the substitutes during the second quarter rotation.

Although the Grizzlies' nine-man rotation is not as crazy as the Sonics' ten-man rotation, it is still considered a very big rotation among a strong team of this level.

Moreover, the Grizzlies' remaining four rotation players, Warrick, Mike Miller, Lowry, and Andre Miller, are all extremely high-quality role players who are now capable of averaging 10 points per game in the NBA.

Warrick has been with the Grizzlies for five seasons. In the past three seasons, he has averaged more than 11 points per game. This season, because of the arrival of McGrady, his scoring data has definitely dropped, but as a 27-year-old player,

His strength is naturally impossible to decline. He is still the super substitute forward who averaged 125 in 24 minutes per game last season and can shoot and jump. This Anthony Pippen is now on the bench in the league when he was at Syracuse University.

One of the best all-around forwards, a typical player whose strength outweighs his fame.

Mike Miller, before McGrady came here in the past few seasons, he had been the starter and averaged more than 15 points per game. After McGrady came, he came on the bench and averaged only about 10 points per game. But Mike Miller

Miller's shooting percentage has increased sharply this season, especially the three-point shooting percentage. This season, Mike Miller's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 50% so far, which is terrifying. Of course, for him, 50% of the three-point shooting percentage is

The three-point shooting percentage is not too unusual. After all, he is one of the league's best shooters. His three-point shooting percentage was 40% in his rookie season. In the past four seasons with the Grizzlies, his three-point shooting percentage has been above 40%.

, now that he is on the bench and facing less defensive pressure, it is not surprising that his shooting is stronger.

Andre Miller is the meat that the Grizzlies stole from the Lakers and Heat this summer. The former star point guard of the Nuggets and 76ers chose to leave the 76ers to pursue his dream. He was moved by the Grizzlies' sincerity.

Coming to Memphis, last season with the 76ers, Miller could score 167. This season, Miller's playing time has dropped, but his data can still reach 86. It can be seen that his strength and condition have been maintained quite well.

Lowry, this young guard is definitely the biggest surprise for the Grizzlies this season. The Grizzlies' starting lineup has many unreasonable players, but the Grizzlies' substitute rotation players have always lacked a stable explosive player, and the Grizzlies have no

Perhaps McGrady or Carter are used as substitutes every time. In fact, these two players are the Grizzlies' players with the fewest substitutes.

In this case, the Grizzlies need a true super sixth man who can serve as an offensive machine, a player like Barea who was once a Sonics player.

But such players are not so easy to come by. This summer, the Grizzlies were very uncomfortable not competing with the Mavericks over Barea and failing to compete against the Lakers over Bibby.

However, I really didn’t expect that Lowry seemed to have a new idea this season.

The Grizzlies' ability to use a nine-man rotation so calmly this season has a lot to do with Lowry's explosion this season.

Lowry has grown into a super sixth man who can act alone. Then the Grizzlies can freely let any of their starting players lead the bench on the bench. The starting core player who leads the bench will not be under too much pressure, and sometimes even

Just stand there on the bench and be Lowry's wingman.

In fact, the Grizzlies' rotation this season is a style of play in which the other four players act as wingmen to maximize the power of Lowry, a little steel cannon.

Andre Miller passed the ball for Lowry, Mike Miller opened up space for Lowry, and Warrick used his comprehensive skills and powerful body to cover Lowry, and the core player underneath him was

It serves as a strategic containment point for Lowry. If the opponent places heavy troops on Lowry, this containment point can also exchange identities with Lowry.

This style of play of the Grizzlies' rotation has been absolutely unbeatable this season.

The Grizzlies' rhythm is not that fast, their offense is not that explosive, and their scoring efficiency is actually not too high.

But the fact that the Grizzlies can outscore their opponents by so many points in every game is inseparable from the Grizzlies' very unique bench rotation.

Even among the rotations of the three super teams of the Heat, Lakers and Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' rotation has the highest evaluation from experts.

"The Grizzlies' rotation is the most disciplined among the three super teams."

Not just the pundits in newspapers and on TV, Kenny Smith also praised the Grizzlies' rotation.

The rotation lineups of the Lakers and Heat are indeed stronger.

The Heat's sixth man is All-Star Ben Gordon.

The Lakers' sixth man is players like Odom, Mike Bibby, and O'Neal.

The Grizzlies' sixth man is Lowry, who is just starting out and is only in his fourth NBA season.

But when it comes to combat effectiveness, the rotation lineups of the Heat and Lakers may not be able to bring out the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness.

Of course, whether it is the SuperSonics, Heat or Grizzlies, the combat effectiveness of the rotation lineup is of course stronger than the SuperSonics.

"The SuperSonics' rotation for this game is still a full rotation. Gasol, Ibaka, Tucker, James Harden and Sessions. The SuperSonics did not change their rotation because of the special opponent tonight.

Way."

Kenny Smith's evaluation of the SuperSonics' rotation is actually pretty good. After Barea leaves, it's hard to estimate how the Sonics' rotation will perform when facing strong teams and at critical moments.

But after James Harden replaced Barea as the sixth man, he was really stronger when he was playing poorly, even better than when Barea was there.

In fact, in the second half of last season, James Harden showed his good ability to abuse food, but at the critical moment like the finals, James Harden really stretched his hips...

Although this season the league is focusing on cracking down on various free throws committed by James Harden and Kevin Martin Durant.

But to be honest, in regular season games, it is difficult for referees to be so strict.

Especially in some ordinary regular season games, referees actually have many standards of their own.

This gives players like James Harden and Kevin Martin a lot of room to create.

Just like Kevin Martin, who averaged 25 points per game last season, no one will admit that Kevin Martin has All-Star ability.

Even if James Harden averages 15 points per game this season, no one thinks that his real strength can match Barea or other super sixth men in the league.

You can't say it's bias, because it's the truth.

This season's SuperSonics' ultra-high pace and ultra-high scoring average have concealed many, many real things, but some real things cannot be concealed by high statistics.

Just like Kevin Martin, no matter how many years he averages 20 per game, no one will regard him as an All-Star player.

Therefore, when the bench rotations of the Grizzlies and SuperSonics teams were put together, Kenny Smith was not the only one who thought the Grizzlies could beat the Sonics.

Many people in front of the TV think that the Grizzlies are going to defeat the SuperSonics. Facing a strong team like the Grizzlies, it is a risk or even a mistake for the SuperSonics to not have a starting core player in the rotation.

Even Barkley thinks this way.

Leafs feels that he and his Sonics have been underestimated by the league's experts this season.

Those pundits in the media are biased against him and his team.

In fact, it's not just the media experts who are biased against the Sonics. Even die-hard fans like Barkley are biased against the Sonics and other players.

So Barkley deeply shares Kenny Smith's concerns.

Because in his mind, James Harden is the defensive player who beat Barea to get the Sonics' sixth man by selling PP, but in fact he only knows how to defend.

Barea was taken away by James Harden, and now there are still many Sonics fans and coconut fans who are very unhappy.

Can't you, James Harden, play a good defensive role in the SuperSonics? You have to be so ambitious to be the sixth man, and you're not afraid of overstretching yourself!

With your strength, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sixth man?

Even if you get too many garbage time bonuses this season and your points per game explode, it still won't change the fact that you can only defend!

There is a lot of garbage time, the intensity of the game is not high, and James Harden is the kind of player who is "shameless", so his average of 15 points per game this season has not brought him an improvement in reputation, and has even decreased his reputation.

, the second player rated by ESPN as the best player, second only to the first player, Kevin Martin.

James Harden has this kind of evaluation, and naturally Ibaka and Sessions' evaluations can't be any better.

On the contrary, Gasol and Tucker have good reviews. After all, James Harden and Ibaka Sessions have increased their statistics during garbage time this season, while Tucker and Gasol have not increased their statistics.

Especially Tucker. For Tucker, being able to score a three-pointer in the NBA is not about brushing up on statistics. For Tucker, brushing up on statistics should be a layup under the basket.

Under such tinted glasses, the Sonics only have Gasol and Tucker, two fairly watchable players.

James Harden, Ibaka and Sessions are all unqualified and unworthy of the name.

But the opponent is players like Gasol, Mike Miller, Andre Miller, Warrick, and Lowry.

The Sonics are going to be crushed by the Grizzlies in the rotation, so that's what it should be, right?

No matter in terms of talent or reputation, they are not on the same level.

No matter how amazing Yes's ability to develop players is, it is impossible to elevate them to the same level as players like the Grizzlies in such a short period of time.

The fact that these SuperSonics players can be data brushers in the NBA is already a testament to Yes's ability to cultivate data. Most of these players don't even have the potential to be data brushers in the NBA!

The second quarter of the game begins.

The Grizzlies fans who had been stifled by Yes for the whole first quarter of the game finally came to life.

The suffocation in the first quarter was finally released in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Sonics took the lead and James Harden took a baseline pass from Gasol and advanced past halftime.

Facing James Harden, Lowry was a little disdainful.

Any player with an upright style of play and personality dislikes players like James Harden and Kevin Martin.

"Kyle, fuck this bearded guy!"

"Kyle, let this bearded Beep be your Beep!"

"Kyle, you are the best sixth man in the NBA this season!"

Ignoring the frenzy of the Grizzlies fans next to him, Lowry kept his gaze on this man with dull eyes, who looked very honest, but in fact had a very vulgar style of play.
