Chapter 83 Unprecedented 2 Eastern and Western Players of the Week
Chapter 83 Unprecedented Two Eastern and Western Players of the Week
"Conley, come down and rest for a while, your physical fitness is almost exhausted!"
"Randolph, it seems that I can't give you too much rest time, you have to go up and do your work."
Grizzlies coach Joerger frowned and shook his head. The 15-point difference left him speechless.
"How to prevent it?!"
For a while, Joerger hadn't thought of the most effective defensive method to contain the Suns.
Since you can't think of how to defend, first ensure that the best offense can stabilize the situation a little bit on the court.
"..."
Randolph sat there, and after he left the field, his team went from leading by 2 points to trailing by 15 points!
Losing points like a collapse.
And all of this happened in only two or three minutes. He sat on the bench to rest, not to mention the sweat on his forehead, and he almost didn't even heat up his buttocks.
"Mark..." Joerg looked at Gasol Jr.
"I understand the coach," Xiaojia said, "Let me continue to fight on the court. At this time, we must recover as many points as possible in the remaining time of the second quarter."
"Hmm..." Coach Joerg patted Xiaojia on the shoulder wordlessly. For the coach, the players shouldn't be allowed to fight on the field for too long with exhaustion, but in order to chase points, he could only do so.
To be honest, Joerger felt guilty.
But he really couldn't think of a way to continue fighting the Suns if Xiaojia came down.
"Jamal, you go up for Conley, remember, I only want you to do a good job of defense. Can you do it?!"
"Yes! Coach."
Of course, Joerger didn't want to replace Conley. In fact, Conley's restrictions on Lin Feidu were good, but after the consumption of Nash and Lin Feidu, his physical fitness dropped too obviously, and he had to take a break to recover. state.
beep! !
The game continues.
Randolph appeared on the field.
"Oh!" Old Murphy couldn't help shouting: "The twin towers, it's the twin towers going up again."
"The strongest offense of the Grizzlies is the twin towers, and the strongest offense of the Suns is the dual point guards. This will be a battle of offense!"
"Hart, look, the twin towers are king. The twin towers are easier to dominate the basket than the opponent. As long as you have the basket, you can do anything."
……
The Grizzlies attack.
Although Randolph did not rest for a long time, he immediately showed his super offensive strength when he came back.
Immediately after playing, he turned around and scored a dunk.
The Suns attack.
Lin Feidu once again called for Frye to pick and roll.
Frye raised it up according to the tactics, Jamal was firmly blocked, and Lin Feidu immediately opened the distance to the right.
Randolph had to follow out.
call out!
call out!
Lin Feidu kept changing his rhythm to deceive Randolph's center of gravity.
Randolph is a big guy, a super powerful weapon in the basket, but when Randolph came from the penalty area to the three-point line, he was like a stranded shark, without any aggressiveness, he could only let Lin Fei Cross slaughter.
call out!
Lin Feidu shook him three times, completely knocking him out of his defensive position.
Whoosh!
An almost open three-pointer, the ball swished into the net.
"It's another shot! It's another shot!" Kevin Hart yelled.
"This..." Old Murphy didn't know what to say for a while.
He just felt that basketball scoring now looks ten times easier than in the past.
"It's not easy to defend against the lineup of the Suns."
"The space is too big, no one dares to help defend and double-team Lin Feidu."
"Nash and Frye on the left and right are both good three-pointers. If you let them shoot open, once you make a few three-pointers inadvertently, the points will be spent."
"The key is that Lin Feidu's ability to play small games is really outstanding. As long as these behemoths are outside the three-point line, the shortcomings of slowness will be infinitely magnified by Lin Feidu's dribbling."
"It's mainly Lin, it's really difficult to shoot a three-pointer suddenly while dribbling. How did you practice this?!"
Kevin Hart's mouth was beeping like a machine gun.
The old Murphy rarely refuted him, but murmured in a low voice: "This ball must have been fooled..."
Lin Feidu's small ball era - three-point shooting on the move, in the eyes of the older generation, it really seems to be fooled.
Players of this era, those superstar-level masters, such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady, shoot in two-stage shots, take off first, quickly adjust the rhythm of the shot in the air, and then shoot at the highest point.
However, Lin Feidu's one-step shooting is too rare. Most people's one-step shooting is either missed or they can't find a chance to shoot.
Like Lin Feidu, who can shake people away, and then can shoot quickly in one-step. I occasionally see Ray Allen use this kind of shooting method in active service, but Ray Allen is actually between one-step and two-step shooting. In between, it's just that his adjustment time in the air is very short, so it seems that his shots are also very fast.
During the time when Kevin Hart was amazed, the Grizzlies returned a two-pointer with the inside twin towers.
The Suns attacked again.
Lin Feidu spotted Randolph, and still wanted to pick and roll.
Then sure enough, he scored another one.
Whoa!
There was an exclamation at the scene.
In the eyes of everyone, this method of investment is very unreasonable, but Lin Feidu can score.
Because for Lin Feidu himself, Randolph's footsteps are too slow. When he shakes Randolph away to get the shot space, there is no such thing as a running shot. For him, the opponent can no longer interfere with him. , that's like a simple open three-pointer.
……
A few rounds passed quickly, and the shooting percentages of both sides were very high. To be precise, the shooting percentage of the Grizzlies was higher than that of the Suns.
But the gap has not only not narrowed, but is still increasing.
Because under Lin Feidu's tandem, the Suns almost always use three-pointers.
After Lin Feidu played a super small game, the rest of the Grizzlies couldn't sit still, and they would assist in double-teaming, so Lin Feidu would immediately send out the basketball in a timely manner.
And if the ball is in Nash's hands, it is no different from Lin Feidu's. .
Although Nash does not have the super-high shooting ability of shooting on the move, his conduction is terrible.
Nash's three-pointer is accurate, so others dare not let him go. Once they help defend Lin Feidu and pay attention to Nash's defense, then the rest of the Suns will definitely have good opportunities.
Who is Nash? !He is the son of the wind, and he is a well-known passing master in the NBA. As long as there is an open space on the court, there is no basketball that he can't pass.
Especially since the Suns' three three-point guns guarded outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies' entire defense line was stretched very large. As long as there is an open person, as long as they receive a pass from Nash, it is a perfect shot.
beep! !
End of halftime.
55:75
The point difference came to 20 points.
In this day and age, it's almost unheard of for a team to score 75 points in a half.
This is already equivalent to the points scored by a team in the early days.
At halftime, the entire Grizzlies team was in a very lonely mood.
With a 20-point difference, the game has already been spent, and they obviously have to suffer the bitter fruit of the four-game losing streak at the start of the new season.
What annoys them the most is that their team's offensive end has been fully played, but they just can't beat the Suns.
After the Suns went down from the inside of Stoudemire, they completely looked for the outside line and kept shooting three-pointers.
In the NBA, no team has ever seen such a passion for shooting three-pointers.
"Boys, defense, defense needs to get up to speed to rotate."
Coach Joerger can only continue to preach the importance of defense.
As a coach, Joerger knows that he is more responsible for this game.
This is a tactical defeat and a suppressed style of play.
And he really didn't expect to contain the opponent's three-point play in a short period of time.
……
After the start of the second half, the Grizzlies went into battle again.
But their general situation is over. The Grizzlies mainly play inside, chasing two points and two points, and they can't keep up with the 20-point difference.
After all, the Suns didn't just stand there and let them catch up.
……
It's time for the third quarter!
73:95
The Grizzlies trailed by 22 points.
Lin Feidu also scored 22 points.
Although McConley tried his best to bite after playing, when Lin Feidu wanted to score, he could still find a chance to score.
But in the face of close bites, it is an indisputable fact that his scoring efficiency has declined.
However, Lin Feidu must ensure that he scores 20+. He does not guarantee whether he will be replaced directly after the opponent loses the game, so there are several offenses that are tough, but the team leads by 20 points. Erwin He didn't restrain him too much, and let him hit a few according to his own ideas.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Feidu was replaced to rest and replenish his energy.
Sure enough, he had no chance of returning to the field.
If the Grizzlies can close the point difference, Irvine will naturally send him to kill the enemy.
However, with a 22-point difference, until the end of the game, the Grizzlies failed to catch up with the score within 17 points.
Then of course Erwin would not let Lin Feidu play.
The Grizzlies are already in poverty, and they are so far behind that they are in a hurry, and Lin Feidu is injured, which Irvine does not want to see.
beep! !
The game is over!
88:105
The Suns won a big victory, while the Grizzlies swallowed a four-game losing streak.
"The players performed very well today. It's my fault. I didn't respond in time in terms of defensive tactics and lineup rotation!"
After the game, Grizzlies coach Joerger made the above statement.
……
Except for the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the Suns had a slight twist in this game.
Then from the point guards of Lin Feidu and Nash, they destroyed the enemy camp all the way, and won the game almost without bloodshed.
"Lin, your 22 points are already very good. Take health as the first element, don't gamble with your career, I know you will definitely score 30+ again if you continue to play, but I won't do that, opponent You have already been beaten for the game, and it is hard to keep your mentality out of balance. If I continue to keep you on the court, it will be irresponsible to you."
Erwin could see that Lin Feidu wanted to stay on the court to score points just now. He was in the player tunnel, looking at the latter earnestly.
'Injury immunity, do you know coach? ! '
'Ugh! '
Lin Feidu sighed helplessly in his heart, he could only answer to Erwin: "You are right!"
I don't know if it's the blessing of the primary acting skills given by the system in the early days. When Lin Feidu spoke, his expression was very sincere. Erwin liked his humility to be taught.
After the game ended that day, Lin Feidu accepted the interview from Xu Jicheng on the sidelines and participated in the post-match press conference as usual.
In the next day's newspaper, the biggest report on Lin Feidu was:
"His score finally came below 30 points and only scored 22 points"
……
Originally, a rookie who scored 20+ points was already in a very impressive and remarkable performance, but Lin Feidu was the first player who scored more than 20 points and was despised by the media for his low score.
At the same time, it finally came to the day when the player of the week was announced.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Week award was released, and the winner is--Michael Carter-Williams--he averaged 20.7 points, 9.0 assists and 4.3 steals per game this week, leading the 76ers to a winning streak.
This result is impressive, right? However, it was outmatched by Lin Feidu in the Western Division.
As everyone expected, Lin Feidu won the Western Conference Player of the Week award, and he won this honor with an average of 30+ points per game.
Where is the point? !The focus is on McAway and Lin Feidu, both of whom are rookies in the 09 class.
The two rookies were able to win the much-anticipated first-week player of the week in the first week of logging into the NBA at the same time.
This is unprecedented!
It was only in 1992 that Shaquille O'Neal won this award in the first week of his rookie season, but at that time the awards were not divided into east and west, so Lin Feidu and McAway did indeed complete a piece of history.
A rookie in the same class, he was also selected as the player of the week in the first week of his first season in his career.
Shocking!
And more people thought of Brandon Jennings, who was also a rookie in the 09 class.
This guy scored a quasi-triple-double in his NBA debut, and he played very well in subsequent games.
"Will the 09 class, which was originally underestimated, become a draft year?!"
This is what everyone thinks.
I'm afraid they don't know yet, except for Lin Feidu, the few giants who can really represent the 09 class in the previous life have not yet emerged at this time.
……
The next day!
Boston!
Celtics home arena.
Today is not a game day, it is a training day.
The entire arena was flickering with green light.
But this kind of green is more like iron-blooded green!
Three men in green jerseys walked into the arena for training.
Over their heads, 17 championship banners hung there, demonstrating the unparalleled background of this team.
These three iron-blooded men are under the banner, and the training uniforms on their bodies seem to be shining with green light, which belongs to the light of tough guys.
Paul Pierce!
Kevin Garnett!
Ray Allen!
——The current league, the top three giants!
"Is the opponent in the next game the Suns rookie who set off an ultra-long three-point boom?!" Kevin Garnett picked up the basketball with a determined look on his face.
"Three points..., ultra-long three points..."
Lelaren whispered to himself.
