Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth inexplicable intimacy
In the last game against the Lakers, in the third quarter of the game, Griffin received the ball outside the penalty area line, flew up two steps, and gave Gasol a front-facing dunk, allowing his sister-in-law to directly play the "Five Balls of the Day". It is estimated that the "Top Ten Balls of the Week" will be played tomorrow. Maybe it will be released at the "Top Ten Balls of the Month" at the end of the month.
My poor sister-in-law now wants to climb onto the two brothers and write miserable words, and pull two animals to accompany him to the "Top Tenth Month Ball".
Many fans are asking, how can those bottom teams turn over in NBA?
Of course, it is the hoarding of young geniuses waiting for their collective outbreak. For teams who are in the bottom stage, this is the most economical and reasonable way of development.
The Portland Trail Blazers transformed from a bottom-up force into a league powerhouse in this way. The Memphis Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Thunder seem to be also advancing on this Avenue of Light. The talent competition between the two teams is naturally the Trail Blazers General Manager Prichard is more than ten times better. However, judging from the absolute number of young talents in the team, the current Grizzlies are not inferior to the Trail Blazers in 2006, but are stronger.
The Grizzlies are also lucky. Last year, they won the No. 1 pick this year, selected Blake Griffin, and successfully kept Rudy Gay. Marc Gasol, who was traded last year. The outstanding performance of last season proves that he is far more than a second round pick. He has the potential to become a star. OJ. Mayo averaged 18.5 points per game in his first season. He has become a quasi-All-star double-athletic guard with an unlimited future. Conley has also become a qualified main point guard after two seasons of training. With so many outstanding new players, the Grizzlies have become a brilliant newcomer this season and are temporarily ranked second in the West.
With this analysis, the Grizzlies seem to have no flaws in all positions. The starting five players have no shortcomings, and what they lack is only experience. After training for a season or two, as long as they remain united and do not fall into a split state of fighting for power and profit, the Grizzlies will definitely become the new powerful in the West.
At the pre-match press conference, Griffin was very modest when answering questions. Today he had to face the inside of the Clippers' championship. Even if he was confident, he would not speak loudly at this time.
"To me, today is probably the biggest challenge I have faced since playing basketball. They are the best team inside combination of the best team, the Clippers are two consecutive championship winners, and this is just my first season and I hope I can learn something from them."
Griffin averaged 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first five games, and performed very well. However, in the last game against the Lakers, although Griffin had a wonderful performance on a dunk Gasol, his performance in the whole game was not good. The inside defense composed of Chandler and Gasol allowed Griffin to only 9 points. If he hadn't had that dunk, he would have been completely abused.
The current boss of the Grizzlies, Rudy Guy, has become very unstable. Griffin performed too strongly, which is more impacted by last year's second-tier OJ. Mayo. Moreover, Griffin plays very well. Griffin's fans have completely fallen in love with this beast inside after several games. Grizzlies' senior executives are also interested in supporting Griffin to become the team's core.
At this time, the Grizzlies were actually very turbulent. Guy didn't want to hand over the identity of the team's boss, but he could suppress Mayo, but it was difficult for him to continue to suppress the powerful Griffin.
Rudy Guy played for three seasons, and his progress in the last two seasons was not much, and his potential should have been exhausted. In addition, his training attitude can only be said to be average. The Grizzlies coaching staff have already made a conclusion about him. Whether in terms of professional attitude, athletic ability, skills, and awareness... he is not as good as Griffin, so there is no need to say how the team will choose.
Just after the last game, Los Angeles media reported that the Lakers were interested in Rudy and Guy. Do you know why the Lakers seem to be interesting to see who they see? Is this no different from the Rockets?
How do the Lakers replace Guy?
Davis + Odom for Guy + Conley, that's it.
Many fans scolded the Lakers for thinking about beauty!
Under normal circumstances, this is certainly an impossible deal, but given the same impossible deal between the two teams in 2008, do you know if the Lakers' squad will make similar crazy moves again?
When Ji Guoxi was asked before the game, what do you think of rookie Griffin? The little fox smiled and said, "There are few insiders who are faster than mine. Griffin's bounce ability is better than our two brothers. He is a dunk monster. Be careful when playing against him, because you don't know when he will ride on your head and dunk the ball. Yes, I know he must want to do this. All we have to do is to avoid this."
Then a reporter asked, would Griffin become a player he feared?
Ji Guomeng laughed at him, thought for a while, and said, "Sorry, no one in the league can make me afraid. Oh, by the way, but I have to mention two people, one is Yao Ming, the speechless little giant, and the stone man, Tim Duncan, I like this guy."
When the dead fox said this, he couldn't help laughing again: "Yes, I like this guy very much. I remember an interview. I said that before I was 40 years old, he was the person I wanted to defeat the most. Compared with most excellent PFs in the league, this stone seemed to be explosive and bounced, and it was not very good at scoring methods. I dare say that I could score in front of him with 100 methods. And he was just playing boards, hitting boards, hitting boards... Oh, there seemed to be horizontal hooks. But when I pulled the rod in front of him again and again, stopped jumping, or even dunking, he just came back silently and returned with a wipe. Hey, only those of us who faced him every day knew how terrible he was.
Of course, there is also the Little Giant, who is also one of the players who has played against Ji Guohuo, who has a headache.
"As for Yao Ming, I don't need to say much. He has the best center skills in service, but this is not the point. What I have the biggest headache is his roller-like tonnage. Don't let me guard against him."
A reporter started to provoke, "Tim commented on you last season. He said you are 'a soft boy with great skills'. What are your responses?"
Ji Guomeng was a little angry: "What, am I soft? Humph, this question should not be answered by me. I don't have Tim's tonnage, let alone Yao Ming. Inside hand-to-hand combat is not my advantage, but I have height, bounce, and soft feel. I just flexibly use my own advantages. When is it time to grab points, and when is it time to decide the outcome in the three-second zone, I am afraid of them?"
The Dead Fox's answer was not very sensible, but it can be seen that he did not attach great importance to Griffin, and he could deal with it in a few simple sentences. However, with his current status, he really does not need to give a special praise to a rookie, which is good.
The Los Angeles Times didn't care about that much, so they naturally started to hack Griffin.
Da Bendan wrote: Griffin's height defect is obvious and his wingspan is too short, and these two points are unchangeable defects. So although he has good explosive power, as long as he doesn't give him space to fly, he is just an ordinary power forward.
Griffin did not shoot in the middle distance, and he had a right hand to hook the ball behind the turn, but his shooting percentage was not high. His score basically came from the impact of the basket after cutting without the ball. The face frame had a certain ability to break through and was still concentrated on the right. As long as Griffin was not given space, his role was reduced by half.
Da Bendan's final conclusion is: It is not difficult to defend Griffin. You need a power forward with a height and strength that is not inferior to Griffin, and you must also try to cut off Griffin's contact with his outside teammates. Let Griffin break through to the left and not give him room to start and fly high, then you can basically deal with this beast, at least, it will not be detained by Yan like Gasol.
This kind of report is a typical smear of opponents, and it is even more of a provocation. But don’t underestimate this provocation. Sometimes when facing this challenge, players really have to do something to help themselves. If they can’t criticize you, you have to tell them with actions that it’s fart!
But then again, if you really have weaknesses, it will be troublesome and you will definitely fall into the enemy's trap.
Some people may say, why are you deceived? Isn’t it all over if you ignore it?
Of course not. Don’t say anything like “ignoring what others think” at this time. If a player doesn’t even have the courage to respond positively, will his teammates still look down on you?
Sometimes it is very simple in the arena. To use the saying "The brave will win when you meet on a narrow road", you must speak with your strength here. When facing provocations, you must be bloody!
Duncan was calm enough, but it was not that he didn't respond, but the way he responded was a bit monotonous, and it was just that trick to beat the board.
In the locker room before the game, Dunleavy's way of dealing with Griffin was similar to Da Bendan. At this stage, Griffin did not shoot mid-rangely and there was no threat outside the penalty area. Just stick to him and don't let him catch the ball easily and limit his performance.
The Lakers did a good job in the last game, and the Zen master also dealt with Griffin in this way, but one carelessness caused Gasol's tragedy.
The two teams entered the court, and Ji Guomeng joined the midfield shooting event at the pre-match ceremony this year. This guy has many tricks and sometimes he actually shoots with his back to the basket. That's what he did today. Amid the cheers of Clippers fans throughout the game, Ji Guomeng used four opportunities to shoot a goal in the midfield with his back to the basket.
The audience immediately heard the "Fox Song" sang by tens of thousands of fans. The tone was similar to Ji Guoqiu's "Panda Song" and it was very uninnovative.
Griffin was on the other side of the court. Today, under Staples' warm home atmosphere, for some reason, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.
