Chapter 83 Memphis Grizzlies

On November 11, the Cavaliers defeated the Detroit Pistons at home. The Audio-Technica gave the world a resounding slap in the face. The Cavaliers must lose, and the Pistons are insurmountable. Under this victory, everything is in vain.

After a short rest at night, the Cavaliers immediately flew non-stop to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away.

It was too late to explain, get in the car, and when boarding the plane, Boozer kept urging Limbo, he couldn't wait to go to the game.

Since Ling Bo made his debut, he and Ling Bo have cooperated more and more times, and they have become more and more tacit, and now his enthusiasm is very high.

"Hey, man, come and see, we won the game so hard yesterday, we didn't make the headlines, but Charles Barkley and a dog made the headlines of the sports news." Boozer is holding the mobile phone, watching News, suddenly smiled and said to his teammates.

Ling Bo said: "The battle between the Lakers and the Spurs is not the same as he stole the limelight."

James said: "The Lakers lost to the Spurs 101 to 106. The ok combination is sunset, and the Spurs' GDP is slowly rising."

Boozer quickly said, "No, it's the Cleveland Cavaliers' iron triangle that is rising."

The plane took off, everyone put away their mobile phones, and under the request of the head coach, everyone had to close their eyes and rest.

Ling Bo closed his eyes, the internal force in his body was quietly surging, and Tan Yun's hand kept twisting back and forth in front of him.

Ling Bo is thinking about how to make himself a successful steal and make the referee feel that he has not fouled.

He kept changing his gestures, thinking hard.

The plane landed, and with little progress, the Cavaliers began preparing for the night's game.

The Grizzlies are also a very young team in the NBA. They only joined the NBA in 1995. The original home court was in Vancouver, Canada, which was also called the Vancouver Grizzlies at that time.

Such a young team has grown very rapidly, especially this year, with a wave of 7 wins and 1 loss at the beginning of the new season, surpassing the popular teams such as the Lakers and Spurs in the West.

Although the following games are not satisfactory, they always win one loss, one loss and one win, and are currently ranked 4th in the Western Conference. If this momentum continues, the Grizzlies can definitely hit the playoffs this year.

So far in the new season, 18 games have been played, and the Grizzlies have 13 wins and 5 losses. In addition to the 7 wins and 1 loss at the beginning, they have recently started the runaway mode, and another wave of three consecutive victories.

Speaking of the Grizzlies lineup, they have no star players and not many veteran players. Among the starting five, the longest-serving player in the NBA is just a member of the 1998 draft.

But such a civilian team has achieved such a proud record.

Paul Gasol, the tall Spanish man, was the third overall pick in 2001. He is a player with a high IQ. He has rich offensive methods and a long range. He also knows how to pick and roll and support.The soft touch and the passing skills comparable to a guard made Paul Gasol the core player of the new Grizzlies.

Grizzlies striker, Mike - Miller, James - Posey are very young players, and averaged more than 10 points.

On the back line, the partners of Jason Williams and Bunch Wells, although they can't be called double guns in the backcourt, they can still parry against ordinary teams.

On the bench, Stromile Swift, Lorenzen White, and a familiar name, Sean Battier, but he is still in his infancy.

There are many scoring players, which is somewhat similar to the Pistons, but the Pistons players have more experience and scoring ability than the Grizzlies players.The difference is that the Pistons focus on the players on the back line, while the Grizzlies focus on the inside.

As soon as the game started, the Cavaliers' Iron Triangle gave the Grizzlies a bad start. The triangle offensive tactics became more and more proficient under the guidance of Osorsky, and they succeeded in two consecutive attacks.

On the back line of the Grizzlies, these two goals were also completely pierced by Ling Bo. To describe it in one word, he was free to come and go.

With a 4-0 start, the Grizzlies began to face the Cavaliers, and they passed the ball to Gasol layer by layer.

Gasol is a technical center and power forward, with excellent inside footwork and soft touch, just restraining a bulky type of player like Ilgauskas.

Gasol made a layup easily with a little feint and foot movement.

However, the third-year Gasol has such a wealth of offensive skills, and if he is given time to grow, he will definitely be a great talent in the future.

Gasol is different from a traditional center. He doesn't fight inside, but his defense is not bad. He doesn't fight with others for rebounds, but he can get rebounds by blocking positions and predicting where the basketball will fall.

One of a number of new insiders in the Gasol League, it changed the center's style of play and opened up a new path for later insiders who were not tall enough.

The Grizzlies are currently on a three-game winning streak, and the Cavaliers have defeated the mighty Pistons. The morale of both teams is at its peak.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides turned from confrontation to defense. First, Ilgauskas blocked James Posey, and then the Grizzlies replaced Sean Battier, who was not bad in defense. Gave LeBron James a steal.

It's a bit miserable for anyone named James today.

Sean Battier used his defense to mark James, leaving him no room to play. This was tantamount to breaking Limbo's left and right arms, and the Cavaliers' offense was not smooth.

The lack of an important part of the triangle offense is naturally difficult to achieve its effect.

The two sides fought each other to pay tribute to each other, and the score of the two sides in the first quarter was tied at 19 to 19.

Entering the second quarter, Limbo, Boozer, and Big Z all sat on the sidelines to rest, and James began to lead the team alone.Without Sean Battier's restrictions, LeBron like a tiger like a tiger, constantly impacting the Grizzlies' restricted area and scoring consecutively.

After halftime, the Cavaliers led by 43 points 38 to 5.

Entering the second half, the Cavaliers gradually fell into a disadvantage in physical strength due to two consecutive days of fighting. The Grizzlies seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to counterattack, tying the score again with a wave of 7-2.

The head coach can only let the main players take turns to rest.

"Coach, I don't need to rest, I assure you that I don't mean to be brave at all."

Seeing that he was about to sit down and rest again, Limbo said before Paul Silas could speak.

"Coach Paul, Ling Ke is known as the Iron Man."

"Yes, LeBron is right. Let Ling continue to play. With him, at least he can prevent them from widening the gap."

James and Boozer sang together and said, the head coach looked at Osorski, saw that the latter nodded in agreement, and let Limbo continue to appear on the stage.

Limbo played very smartly. As long as he avoided Gasol, he was sure to score or create opportunities for his teammates.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Cavaliers almost relied on Ling Bo's personal ability to bite the score.
