"Base angle, base angle, pay attention to the position of the base angle!"

"Quick! Quick! Move, don't be slow on the field, transfer the ball quickly, take action firmly, and play one by one, don't be like a sissy!"

On the sidelines, assistant coach Ranbir slapped his hands hard while roaring at the field.

Unlike Casey, Gentry and Jaffaroni, Ranbill has a relatively average coaching talent, but Ranbill can mobilize the players' enthusiasm for the game in many ways.

Moreover, Ranbir is very good at mediating the relationship between players. He always looks fierce and evil on weekdays. It is extremely extreme with Jinteri's kind-hearted appearance.

After the trade left McGrady, the atmosphere in the Grizzlies was significantly improved, and it was no longer as weird as before.

At this time, the Grizzlies were in group confrontation on the court, and Kevin Martin and Mike Bibi, who were newly joined the team, led the first and second teams to compete respectively.

Martin has a very docile personality. Even though he performed very well this season, Martin has no ethereal taste at all.

As for Mike Bibby, he is also an extremely self-disciplined player. If the league lists a list of players who do not need team urging and knows active training during the offseason, then Mike Bibby's name will definitely be listed.

Both Martin and Mike Bibby have no thorn attributes. On the contrary, they appear approachable in getting along with their new teammates, which also led to the two quickly getting along with other Grizzlies players and getting along well with each other.

"Swish~"

"Dudu~"

As the trainer who acted as the referee blew the whistle, Martin, who had just hit two plus one, smiled.

This is already the defense of Martin in two consecutive offensive rounds to score a two-plus goal, and he is still facing his former teammate Mike Bibby.

When Martin was lying on the ground, Paul Gasol and Gerald Wallace were on the side immediately trotted over, then reached out to pull Martin from the ground.

Gasol also rubbed the back of Martin's head to show encouragement, "It's done well."

Apparently I was very satisfied with Kevin Martin, the new teammate.

Even though Martin has not played official games for the team since joining, Martin's performance in the training match has conquered everyone.

Don’t make a frivolous shot, don’t make a force, and do every tactical running seriously. The offensive methods are extremely comprehensive, and you are willing to share the offensive end. No one will hate teammates like Martin.

Although McGrady often gave wonderful passes to his teammates at the beginning, most of McGrady's passes were chosen when the offensive environment was poor.

Martin rarely faces the defensive man forcing his shots. Only when his teammates cannot get the opportunity to attack and Martin needs to take on the offensive responsibility will Martin choose one-on-one singles.

Most of the time, they use pick-and-roll to actively run, which is perfect for the integration of the entire team.

"Kevin's personal playing style is really too appropriate to the team. I seriously suspect that Lu had thought of this before making this deal."

"Otherwise, Kevin wouldn't have integrated into the team in such a short time."

Seeing the cooperation between Martin and his teammates becoming more and more tacit, Jaffaroni rubbed his hair incredibly.

If an uninformed person sits on the sidelines to watch the training game throughout the game, he will definitely think that Martin has been with this team for a long time, instead of just coming to Memphis to report yesterday, and even made the jerseys for the game this morning.

"I was still worried about this deal, after all, Kevin's body was so thin."

"If you only watch the game, it's hard to believe that this guy actually has 93 kilograms of meat on his body. I really don't know how the Kings guide the players to train on weekdays."

"But now I'm overly worried. Kevin's offensive methods are too rich, and the dribbling shots outside the three-point line are even better than Mike Miller."

"I have a premonition that if Kevin can strengthen his body, he doesn't need to do much, just a slight improvement, and he will definitely become one of the best outside stars in the league in the future."

Gentry looked at Kevin Martin on the court with a complicated expression, but he still sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"It seems that we have really found a treasure this time. If we talk about the running-in and offensive approach with the team, Kevin's threat will still be above Tracy."

"Maybe if the two fight one-on-one on the court, Kevin will definitely be beaten by Tracy, but once he integrates into the team system, Kevin is simply a rare offensive weapon."

"At least in my impression, no one can do better than Kevin in terms of re-inventing fouls, except for that guy Alan."

"But Allen made fouls more to use his body to get free throws, while Kevin used his skills and brain."

"To be honest, I hate this style of play, but I'm very glad that Kevin is a player on our team."

Kathy stood outside the court and observed Martin's offensive style while holding the notebook to record something habitually, while his mouth was filled with appreciation for Kevin Martin.

"I think if you praise me any longer, Kevin will almost become the number one person in the league."

"It is a good thing to make players feel confident, but excessive flattery is to kill them."

"In the future, don't discuss topics similar to those in front of players. Just forget it if we talk about them privately."

Luke sat on the sidelines without any scruples, smoking cigarettes, and even the staff next to him were too lazy to come forward to stop him.

It is explicitly stipulated that smoking is prohibited in the arena, and the only one who can light cigarettes at any time under any circumstances or even in any occasion is probably Luke.

"Mike's performance was also excellent, and under his leadership, the team's second team was much better than Damon's time."

"It's just that Kevin is too dazzling in the team's tactical system, and Mike can only be passively forgotten." Luke leaned back slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"After saying that Mike is also an All-Star player who steps into the All-Star with one foot. If you just help the second team to attack in series, there will be no many challenges for Mike."

As an assistant coach who has worked with Mike Bibby, Gentry is still very confident about Mike Bibby's strength.

Watching the players in the field sweating hard, Luke crossed his hands and put them behind his head, and couldn't help but curl up a curve, "This is the correct way for the Grizzlies to open it."

…………

After trading star McGrady, the overall framework of the Grizzlies has also undergone a considerable change.

Especially in the eyes of outside fans, the Grizzlies get more guarantees in this deal, and at least they will never be stronger than before.

However, the Grizzlies' transformation this season is entirely due to Luke's arrival, and McGrady's attitude towards the game also disappoints Memphis fans.

So even if this deal may not necessarily make the team better, fans can only believe Luke.

The Grizzlies' first opponent after the trade was the San Antonio Spurs, ranked third in the West.

The Spurs are a Western Conference champion who has been a favorite to win the championship all year round, and the entire team has strong defense and discipline. It is not good news that Kevin Martin will make his personal debut in this game.

Even though the Spurs have not changed much in lineup this season, the overall team framework is still led by the three troikas, and other positions can only strengthen the edges due to funding issues.

Mohammad's departure in the past two seasons has made the Spurs' already poor inside line even more miserable.

Now the Spurs' starting center is Oboto, who is 2.08 meters tall. Zhang Jun can contribute 4.8 points and 5.2 rebounds, but only has a pitiful 0.2 blocks.

As an Argentine white inside player, Oberto's ability to join the Spurs is largely due to Ginobili's face.

Without Ginobili's relationship, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA with Oberto's personal abilities.

As a non-draft player entering the league, Oberto was able to play as the starting center in the Spurs, which is enough to prove how bad the Spurs' inside line is.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Spurs' inside defense is now completely supported by Duncan.

After all, except for Duncan, both Oberto, Matt Bonner and Elson have poor defensive abilities, and the combined three of them have only 0.8 blocks per game.

As for why the Spurs did not strengthen a qualified inside defensive player during the offseason, it was because the Spurs owner was too stingy. In addition, the San Antonio market was difficult to attract players who were on the uphill career, which also led to the Spurs being able to strengthen through draft picks and bargains.

There is a saying in later generations to describe the Spurs in this way. If it weren't for Duncan, the Spurs would never have thought of touching the championship trophy in their life. Although this evaluation is a bit extreme, it can indirectly prove the changes that Duncan brought to the Spurs.

However, as Duncan broke through the 30 mark at age, no player in the Spurs averaged 20 points per game this season. Including the three troikas, only four players averaged 20 points per game.

The reason why the Spurs are still ranked third in the Western Conference is mainly because the team does not need any running-in in the early stage, so the Spurs have been one step ahead of other teams at the beginning of the season.

If the Spurs still do not strengthen the roster in the middle of the season, the championship is destined to miss the Spurs.

In this game, the Timberwolves challenged the Spurs away, but looking around, there are still many Timberwolves fans wearing blue and white T-shirts in the stands.

These fans want to see what the Grizzlies will look like after the trade. Even if they travel thousands of miles, they must witness the game as soon as possible.

The starting lineup sent by the Grizzlies in this game was the same as fans expected: Lowry, Martin, Gerald Wallace, Gasol Grocester, and Gasol Jr.

The Spurs are: Parker, Ginobili, Michael Finley, Duncan, and Oberto.

Judging from the lineup, the Grizzlies can vaguely gain some advantage. In terms of lineup depth, the Spurs are not as good as the Grizzlies.

In the whole first quarter, the Spurs' outside defense was too ordinary, so they could only limit the Grizzlies' outside attack through the district joint defense.

In addition, after McGrady left the team, the Grizzlies' main tactics changed from position triangle offense to "unball blocking and cutting tactics", which is a basic tactic that is supported by inside players through a large number of unball pick-and-rolls.

The most outstanding NBA teams in later generations use cut-off tactics is the Denver Nuggets led by "Pork Belly" Jokic.

Luke got some inspiration from Mike Malone, and while borrowing the blocking and cutting tactics, he also incorporated some of the current mainstream offensive styles in the league.

The Gasol brothers have excellent support abilities, especially Paul Gasol, who is ranked first among all inside players in the league this season by 4.8 assists.

When Gasol stood on the strong side and held the ball, other players participated in the offense through a large number of unball pick-and-rolls, and the entire Grizzlies' offense became extremely smooth.

Especially when Kevin Martin can break through and shoot, this makes it difficult for the Spurs to determine the team's defensive focus.

As the Spurs' regional joint defense expands the scope even wider, this also causes the Spurs to expose more defects at the middle distance on both sides.

The Grizzlies created a large number of shooting opportunities through frequent off-ball pick-and-rolls throughout the first quarter, including Kevin Martin, who made 4 of 7 shots in a single quarter, scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and made a very aggressive move.

As for the substitute lineup competition in the second quarter, the Grizzlies had the upper hand without any suspense. It took only more than four minutes to widen the score difference to more than double digits.

Mike Bibby is a very strong point guard with a very high basketball IQ.

In addition to his lack of scoring ability, Bibi is simply the most popular point guard template for coaches in this era. He can shoot, break, pass, and resist. Even if he is not proficient in everything, Bibi is a player without flaws.

When Bibi was on the bench to lead a group of shooters to play, the offensive firepower of the Grizzlies' second team became better than before the trade.

"Little Flying Mouse" Damon Stoudemire is only 1.78 meters tall. What makes her strong is that her flexible breakthrough can create shooting opportunities for outside shooters.

However, once the opponent shrinks the defensive formation and refuses to assist Stoudemire, it will be difficult for the Flying Squirrel to gain an advantage in one-on-one.

However, while creating opportunities for teammates, Bibi can use his personal ability to make the opponent miserable, forcing the Spurs to focus more on Bibi.
To be continued...
