NBA super point guard

The Grizzlies just played a preseason game yesterday and lost the first game.

On October 10, the local media in Memphis finally breathed a sigh of relief at the visit of the Thunder, and the heads came.

Last season, the Thunder and the Grizzlies were on par with each other, and they played very hard. For the Grizzlies, who are aiming for the championship, it was an unbearable past.

In the summer, the Grizzlies traded with the Clippers for Zach Randolph.

Fatty Blue changed teams again.

Grizzlies starting lineup Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Zach Randolph.

The Thunder's starting five are Durant, Harden, Krstic, Green, and Westbrook.

Rookie Harden was thrown directly onto the court by Brooks.

Harden obviously hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. How should I put it, it's just a bit turbulent.

From the first ball, Harden received a pass from Westbrook, dribbled a few times and shot directly.

"Boom!"

strike iron.

It doesn't matter, this ball is just to test the opponent's offense.

Westbrook went over to comfort Harden, and Li Muhua could tell off the court that Harden's face was a little red.

The Grizzlies attach great importance to the game. The first ball was Rudy Gay attacking with the ball, passing Harden directly, facing Krstic, and easily hitting a layup.

The Thunder attacked, Harden held the ball again, turned around and stepped back for a jumper from outside the three-point line, avoiding OJ Mayo's block.

The pose is coherent, but it's a pity.

Another strike.

The Grizzlies made a fast break and Mike Conley made a one-stop layup.

Harden just wobbled past halftime.

Since it was a preseason game, there was no defensive strength to be seen, so no one cared.

But when the Thunder attacked again, Harden made another three-pointer.

Weaver almost collapsed laughing.

Harden is definitely going to compete with Li Muhua when he rises up, and the Thunder will play some games in the future.

Li Muhua covered his face and said, this buddy is too hot, I really can't compare him.

It was Rudy Gay again, passing Harden and flying for a dunk.

Applause from the audience sounded in the FedEx Arena, and the home team played very well.

The Thunder kicked out the ball, this time, Durant didn't give Harden any more, but chose singles, and the Thunder finally scored.

Durant went crazy, and with his excellent touch in the first quarter, he maintained the score.

The Thunder and the Grizzlies were evenly matched again.

In the second quarter, Brooks left Harden on the court, replaced Durant and Westbrook, and Li Muhua and Weaver played.

The Thunder attack.

Li Muhua held the ball for half the court. Facing the defense of Marcus Williams, Li Muhua made an emergency stop for a jump shot without even giving the defender time to react.

"Shh!"

Three point hit.

Looking back, Zach Randolph hit the iron with a mid-range jumper, Weaver received the rebound, and the Thunder made a fast break.

The Grizzlies' bench lineup is really bad, and Li Muhua easily made a layup.

Harden is still in the backcourt.

Nima, Li Muhua was speechless whether to fight like this to preserve his health.

"James, when switching offense and defense, the speed must be fast!"

After Li Muhua withdrew, he hurriedly warned.

Harden nodded hurriedly, but when he was defending McTaylor, he didn't even jump, he just stretched out his hand to signal.

Well, another defensive black hole.

The game continued, Li Muhua did not choose to attack, but passed the ball to Weaver and Harden.

After going undercover continuously, Harden finally got the hang of it. He actually leaned on the defensive player and got a free throw opportunity.

"Pretty!"

Li Muhua couldn't help applauding, he played the ball very smartly, and when he couldn't start the situation, making a foul or making a breakthrough was the best choice.

Harden smiled honestly.

2 for 2 free throw.

When the Thunder attacked again, Harden touched Marcus again.

It's like another Martin reborn.

After two consecutive fouls, Marcus was depressed and asked the referee directly.

Could this guy be Martin's brother? Li Muhua muttered to himself, but then, the Thunder got the ball. Leaned up.
Li Muhua was dumbfounded.

Harden made 5 of 1 shots and scored 7 points relying on free throws. This efficiency is nothing to say.

Simply.

"Time out!"

The official timeout is up.

"James, you sit on the sidelines and reflect on what you just did!"

Kalamanda was very angry, pulled Harden aside and sprayed directly.

After the timeout, the Thunder team returned to normal. Li Muhua actively passed the ball to create opportunities. Weaver, Thomas, and Ibaka bloomed more points. Li Muhua's assists easily scored in double figures in two quarters. The Thunder team maintained their lead. The third quarter ends.

In the last quarter, the Thunder removed the main rotation players and sent all the substitutes on the field.
The Grizzlies' second-round pick, Sam Young, played well, driving inside in the final quarter and taking control of the game in the final minutes.

When Li Muhua was facing each other just now, from Ultrain's analysis, he saw Sam Yang's offensive flaws, his body was not very good, and his confrontation ability was average.

It's just that Sam Young's stellar debut as a second-round pick belies a lot of truth.

The Thunder lost Game [-] of the preseason on the road.

In this game, Li Muhua played 24 minutes, setting a new career high, scoring 9 points and 13 assists.

The data from the preseason is not very informative.

After the game, Brooks was interviewed.

"Judging from the state of the game, the players have maintained a good competitive state. I am very pleased with this. It is a good game. The Grizzlies have a strong lineup. I am optimistic about them entering the playoffs this season!"

"As for James Harden, he is a rookie and needs to be honed in the game to grow!"

When reporters asked about Harden's performance, Brooks didn't even know how to answer.

It's unbelievable that a No. [-] pick is not as good as a second-round pick. Everyone knows Presti's draft vision. It's still early, and the reporters didn't ask much.

Instead, Durant was a little unhappy:

"Last season's lineup is similar to this season, but the performance of some people is really unbelievable!"

Durant expressed his emotions in public, and no one could hear that Harden's performance caused dissatisfaction at the core of the team.

As a teammate for one year, Li Muhua knows that Durant has a straight temper, so he can only say that his EQ is a little low. These words are not aimed specifically at him, but just to vent his unwillingness to lose.

The team had no time to rest and flew to New Orleans that night.

As one of the best point guards in the league, Chris Paul is both a father and a mother in the Hornets. Whoever becomes the queen is unlucky.

After serving other players, he has to carry the team's offense.

Among the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust, Chris Paul is the most exhausted.
