Chapter 36 The third win of the season
In the second half, Fang Chen's tactical intention was obvious, that was to do his best to limit Rudy Guy and Mark Gasol.
Although Zach Randolph repeatedly made attacks at the basket, Hickson, who had the ability of Paul Gasol, was not to be outdone and frequently counterattacked with mid-range shots.
Therefore, when the two of them exploded, the Cavaliers did not let the Grizzlies regain the situation.
In Fang Chen's plan, **-Hickson is a young player who focuses on training. Therefore, Fang Chen will not be stingy in any opportunity that is conducive to improving **-Hickson's ability.
After drawing cards from Chris Weber and Paul Gasol in succession, Fang Chen attached them to **-Hickson, which shows how Fang Chen valued **-Hickson.
At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers tied 79 with the Grizzlies.
The competition between the two sides was obviously more intense than in the first half, and the collision of bodies became more and more frequent.
One is a team that strives for the third victory of the season, and the other is a team that strives to fight for the playoffs. The two sides naturally play extremely fiercely.
In the last quarter, the intensity of the two teams playing made the audience in the audience silence.
From the beginning of the final quarter, both sides fought fiercely, and the referee's whistle kept ringing.
In the first four minutes of the final quarter, the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies were sent out for six fouls.
In order to win the final victory, both teams replaced the main players early.
However, since the second quarter, Rudy Gay, one of the core members of the Grizzlies, has been airtightly protected by the Cavaliers.
Therefore, in most of the game, Rudy Guy was very uncomfortable and kept playing in a frustrated mood.
It was precisely because of his severe emotional impact that Rudy Guy rarely performed well since the second quarter, and even took four fouls before the third quarter ended.
"Drip", Rudy Gay, who had just returned to the court, was committed an offensive foul by Joey Graham because of his quick success and instant benefits.
Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins shook his head in disappointment. After seeing Rudy Gay's performance in the first quarter, he originally expected him to lead the team tonight's game.
But unexpectedly, Fang Chen's defense was arranged to strangle Rudy Guy to death. If it weren't for Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies would have surrendered very early.
The Cavaliers turned around and used their steady offensive strategy to score another goal, expanding the 2-point lead he had previously won to 5 points.
The Grizzlies quickly requested a timeout and re-arranged the tactics.
During the timeout, Fang Chen adjusted the lineup, and the "Moon Man" replaced Joey Graham and returned to the court.
In the final decisive victory, Fang Chen must ensure that there is no mistake.
Joey Graham has excellent physical fitness, which means he has the inherent conditions for defense. However, his defensive awareness is a bit poor. Failure in the game can sometimes drive the head coach crazy.
Therefore, it is safer to send Jamario Moon, who is good at defending.
What's more, the last few minutes of the last quarter are often the most intense moments of the collision. At this time, it depends on which side has a greater defensive intensity and which side is fighting more fiercely.
Fang Chen has always trained Joey Graham toward the direction of the shooter.
Because from a general perspective, Joey Graham is a very common player in the NBA. He seems to be able to do anything, but he can't do anything well.
Although Joey Graham has enviable physical qualities, he is at the top of the league in terms of speed and bounce. It can even be said that in the league's small forward position, his physical qualities should be ranked in the top ten.
And Joey Graham is also an excellent pitcher. When his offense is mostly based on shooting, he has nearly 50% of his shooting percentage and about 82% of his free throw percentage in his career, which is enough to reflect his shooting skills.
However, such a pitcher with outstanding physical fitness did not move towards Ray Allen or James, the former template, because Joey Graham always seemed overwhelmed on the court.
He hardly uses fake moves to create shooting opportunities. Basically, his shooting ability can only ensure his shot at a static state, while his physical fitness can only be reflected in the empty slam dunk.
Graham's movements are stiff and lack of change. Whether the defender is tall or short, or even whether there are or not, his playing style is almost unchanged. Such playing style also limits his performance on the offensive end.
Therefore, Fang Chen had already made a decision to train Joey Graham into a shooter with excellent physical fitness and give him his own skills.
As the saying goes, 'One bottle is not full, half a bottle is clanging', so players like Joey Graham who can do anything but have no skills are often not favored by coaches too much.
At the beginning, if it weren't for Joey Graham's very obedient personality, obeying the coach's arrangements, and having a very positive attitude in the game, Fang Chen wouldn't have valued him too much and attached Ray Allen's ability to him.
Even now, in Fang Chen's plan, Joey Graham will not be the main striker that the Cavaliers cannot beat.
When the team really starts to rebuild, Fang Chen will consider letting Joey Graham return to the substitute.
However, before this, Fang Chen must first improve Joey Graham's shooting ability, so that he can have a skill and become an excellent shooter.
Fang Chen has handed over this task to Chris Jante, and he believes that Chris Jante can complete this task successfully.
"I always feel that there is not enough manpower. I wonder if he will complete it seriously if he assigns some tasks to that guy Michael Malone now. Also, if Steve Clifford, who has been inviting the team, will come to Cleveland? If I can get his help, the burden on me will be lighter." Fang Chen sighed helplessly, looking at the game where the winner was gradually decided.
With Rudy Guy's foul on the defensive end, he was also sent off the court for six fouls.
Losing Rudy Guy, a core player who can attract the Cavaliers to attack, the Grizzlies played even harder.
Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, who had no good touch since the beginning, were defended very tightly by the Cavaliers at the last minute of the final quarter, so there was only one Zach Randolph who performed normally. The Grizzlies obviously could not beat the Cavaliers.
Ramon Sessions' selfless pass gave the other four Cavaliers players the chance to fire easily.
Therefore, the Cavaliers directly locked in the victory with a 11:3 wave with three minutes left in the game.
In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 106:99 at their home court to win the third victory of the new season.
