Create a dream dynasty

Chapter 22 The First Battle of the Season

The preseason is over, and the NBA2010-2011 regular season is about to begin.

As in previous years, this year there are also 82 games for each team, and the schedule is still dense and compact.

The Nets' first regular season game started on October 10. The Nets' opponent was the Memphis Grizzlies, who had also struggled in the West in recent years. The game was held at the Nets' home court.

In the 2006 Men's Basketball World Championships, the Spanish team led by Gasol made history and won the first world championship in history. In the short glorious time in the team's history, the team fell into darkness and failed to enter the playoffs for four consecutive years.

However, the hard work in recent years coupled with the steady growth of young players in the team has allowed the Grizzlies to form a lineup that looks complementary enough on paper.The two insiders, Gasol, one can attack and the other is good at defending, just complement each other.The same is true for the wing composed of the newly joined team's defensive champions Tony Allen and Gay.The traditional point guard Conley is able to sort out the team with his hands. On the bench, the talented Mayo is obviously a bit inferior, but it also reflects the current strength of the Grizzlies.However, the NBA has never been determined by paper strength. In the Grizzlies lineup, except for Tony Allen's playoff performance in the Celtics, most of the other players have far more losing experience than the Celtics. Winning, although saying that they can't, means they are weak, but at least it shows some problems.

Under the lights of the stadium, players from both teams entered the field one after another. During the warm-up period, the Grizzlies players only made some basic shots, while the Nets players made their first appearance at home in the new season , In order to leave a good start in front of the fans, naturally one by one performed hard, especially Bledsoe and George, who contributed fancy dunks respectively.And this dunk performance also won applause from the audience.

Looking at the lively performance on the opposite side, Hollins of the Grizzlies smiled slightly. After all, he is still a young man.

With the whistle of the referee, the starting players of the two teams took their positions one after another.The work of jumping the ball is done by the center forwards of both sides. Lopez, who has a low success rate of jumping the ball, faced Gasol, who is not as explosive as himself and has a larger stature. Feeling faster, George firmly controlled the ball in his hands, tried his hand for a while, and ran towards the opponent's half.

He was not in a hurry to attack. George didn’t dribble very fast. When he just passed halftime, the Nets’ players were all in position. With a slightly sinking center of gravity, George changed his dribbling rhythm and was responsible for marking his blocks. Immediately, Yi tensed up.

This rookie who was accidentally selected as the third pick performed very well in the preseason. The media praised the Nets for selecting the right candidate. He will be the cornerstone of the Nets' future team building.

Bledsoe, who came out of the baseline, took Conley around and ran behind George and played a hand-off. The moment he handed the ball to Bledsoe, George took advantage of the pick-and-roll, which affected Conley's response to Bledsoe. With the impact of Suo, the blood cloth accelerated and lay down Gay, facing Gasol's supplementary defense and hitting the ground, Lopez picked up an empty basket and scored.

The tactics of the first ball in the new season are quite smooth. This kind of idea of ​​the ball holder passing the ball to the receiver for a moment is the first time in the NBA, and the audience burst into applause.

The Nets' first goal of the new season was scored by the team boss Lopez. It was the Grizzlies' turn to attack. After Conley dribbled the ball for halftime, the ball quickly came to Rudy Gay.

Judging from the lineup comparison, the position where the Grizzlies have the greatest advantage over the Nets should be Randolph vs. Anderson. According to Conley's thinking, he is more inclined to give the ball to Randolph to initiate, but Gay After all, he is the boss of the team.

Sharp breakthroughs, precise mid-range jumpers, and comprehensive offensive methods.George knew Gay's strength well, and he didn't dare to neglect him.

Gay held the ball one-on-one in the low post, and the other players pulled away immediately, leaning against Paul George, squeezing a step, pulling, turning, jumping, leaning back, and shooting.

The moment the ball left his fingertips, Guy knew he was slightly off track. "Bang!" The impact of the basketball and the rim was particularly crisp. The rebounding line of Gasol and Randolph was firmly stuck by Lopez. Bledsoe was somewhat "lucky" to pick up his NBA career. first rebound.

It was the Nets' turn to attack, and Korver, who ran throughout the game, used the three pick-and-rolls arranged by his teammates to get rid of Tony Allen's sticky defense, cut to the basket, received a wonderful pass from George, and made a counterattack. basket score.Randolph's poor defense made Korver not encounter too much defensive pressure when he made a layup. He waved his fist in frustration and immediately ran back. In fact, this appearance is mostly expressive. For a professional colander like Randolph, I don’t know how many times I have encountered this situation, and sometimes I always have to put on a gesture to show my teammates.

The Grizzlies' second attack, after Conley observed the situation on the court, handed the ball to Randolph in the low post to educate Anderson.However, at this time, Korver resolutely stepped forward to double-team Randolph, and after Randolph gave the ball to Tony Allen, who was unguarded on the three-point line, Korver immediately blocked his breakthrough line , giving up the shooting space.

He shot decisively, and then hit the iron. This time it was George who grabbed the rebound, grabbing the rebound from Randolph abruptly.

From the very beginning of the game, the Nets showed a different look. The offensive end focused on pick-and-roll and running without the ball. After using Anderson to pull Randolph out, Gasol in the penalty area could not cover this offense alone. basket.On the defensive end, facing Gay is George's single defense. If Randolph singles Anderson, Korver or Bledsoe resolutely fills up the defense, and the others pay attention to rotation. Lun.This tactic was quite successful. With the opening three and a half minutes, the Nets completed a 14:4 perfect start, and at the same time forced the Grizzlies coach Hollins to use the first timeout early.

It was thought that Hollins would make adjustments to the starting lineup, especially the replacement of Randolph and Tony Allen who were targeted, but Hollins did not make such changes, but only made adjustments in his style of play.After returning to the court, when Randolph held the ball in singles, Gasol mentioned the high position. Lopez, who was afraid of the opponent's free throw, could only keep up. Tony Allen was cutting to the basket, and Korver hesitated. Clip time or not, Randolph easily succeeded in singles Anderson.

Looking back, it was the Nets' turn to attack, and the Grizzlies suddenly double-teamed Bledsoe in the frontcourt. Under Gay and Allen's double-teaming, Bledsoe made a pass error and stole the ball The successful Conley faced Anderson who was defending under the basket and cleverly passed the ball to Gay. The latter completed a tomahawk dunk, sweeping away the previous depression.

Hollins' adjustment was immediate, and within half a minute, the point difference had been narrowed to 6 points.
