Chapter 325 Li Lei's Helper Hakim Warik
Unknowingly, the Grizzlies widened the gap.

The FedEx Center was seething.

Facing the top three teams in the West, the Grizzlies can have the upper hand, which fully proves the strength of the Grizzlies.

This makes the Memphis people have more expectations for the future of the team.

This season, the Grizzlies may be able to go further.

Drip!

At this moment, coach Jerry Sloan called a timeout.

This timeout is very timely, at least it can suppress the momentum of the Grizzlies.

"Deron, don't stare at Stone, you and he are not the same type of player."

"You're a point guard, and your most important job is to help your teammates score easily."

"Remember, we are a team!"

Deron frowned.

As a rookie, Deron hoped that he would get more chances, perform well, and become a superstar, just like Li Lei, the only king in Memphis.

But Sloan asked him to play more team.

Finally, Deron nodded.

As a sophomore, Deron dared not disobey the words of "Marshal" Sloan.

Pause back, and the game continues.

Deron observed the defense, and then launched a "physical crush" on Lao Lu again.

Lao Lu couldn't handle it, and the Grizzlies could only be forced to help defend.

Deron seized the opportunity and split the ball.

Kirilenko received the ball and hit a long two-pointer.

9: 6.

Stone on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction.

This Jazz team does not have absolute superstars, but there are many good players.

The role of Deron is to connect these people together and exert collective power.

In the second grade, Deron already averaged 16.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1 steal per game. His organizational skills are sufficient to undertake this task.

And in the next round, Okur was like a goalkeeper, guarding the basket and destroying Warrick's dunk.

The Jazz took the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack, and Deron assisted Kirilenko to complete the dunk.

boom!
9: 8.

In the next round, Li Lei broke through and caused a foul by Boozer, making 2 of 1 free throws.

10: 8.

Another round.

Fisher hit two long points.

10:10 level.

After the timeout, the Jazz played a wave of 6-1 attacks and quickly tied the score.

There was a commotion at the FedEx Center, and Memphis fans were slightly uneasy.

The overall strength of the Jazz is still stronger.

When Deron concentrates on helping his teammates, the Grizzlies are no match at all.

Carlisle also stood up from the bench, hands on hips, frowning at the court, ready to call a timeout.

But at this moment, Li Lei started to catch the ball from the backcourt, and then raised his hand high.

"Guys, slow down, we beat the odds!"

With just this one action, the entire Grizzlies team felt at ease.

Coach Rick Carlisle couldn't help smiling and sat back on the bench.

And the entire FedEx Center, Memphis fans also quieted down, waiting for Li Lei's performance.

This is Li Lei's current influence.

His one action, one word, can affect the morale of the whole team.

In the frontcourt, Warrick came up to set up a pick-and-roll for Li Lei.

However, Kirilenko successfully bypassed again and quickly got in front of Li Lei.

The Jazz had just played an offensive wave, their morale was high, and Kirilenko defended harder.

The defensive ability of AK47 is really a headache.

Warrick attempted a second pick-and-roll.

However, Boozer and Kirilenko already understood his intentions and decisively flanked Li Lei.

The pick-and-roll tactic was a failure.

Warrick didn't look good, so he left quickly and ran away with Boozer.

Resume one-on-one again.

But this time, Milicic stepped up and continued to pick and roll.

He is much bigger than Warrick, and has experienced the double baptism of Europe and the Pistons. Milicic is very skilled in this kind of dirty and tiring work, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is much higher.

Li Lei took the opportunity to get rid of Kirilenko and rushed in.

Okur was forced to switch defenses, but how could he keep up with Li Lei.

Li Lei suddenly stopped and got up, leaving Okur behind.

At the basket, only Boozer, who had just returned to defense and hadn't stood still, was left.

Li Lei stepped on the floor, soared into the air, and smashed the basketball into the basket abruptly through Boozer.

boom!
Boozer didn't stand firm, and his huge body, which was two laps thicker than Li Lei, fell directly out of the bottom line.

The visual effect of this ball exploded!
Drip!

And when Boozer was caught off guard, he made an unclean move on his hand, was caught by the referee, and received a foul.

This is a 2+1!

"Roar!"

In an instant, the entire FedEx Center erupted into a tsunami.

This is the king of Memphis, so strong!

This ball gave them unlimited confidence.

And Li Lei also felt his blood boil, rushing straight to his mind, and couldn't help shouting to the sky: "Roar!"

Subsequently, Li Lei hit a free throw steadily.

13: 10.

The Grizzlies regained the lead.

Coach Sloan on the sidelines was a little helpless. In the Jazz's new Shuangsha, Deron's impact power surpassed that of Stockton, but Boozer...

After all, Boozer is only a second-round pick, and his talent is relatively poor in the NBA. In order to obtain stronger low-post attack power, Boozer gained a lot of weight.

In this way, Boozer's bouncing and moving speed will be even slower.

If the ball just now was replaced by Karl Malone, it might be a bloody cap.

But Boozer can only be dunked by Li Lei.

But looking back, Boozer forced Warrick in the low post and scored 2 points.

13: 12.

Boozer's offensive power is still very strong.

His weight of 125kg is simply a nightmare for a spring man like Warrick.

In the next few rounds, Li Lei continued to play pick-and-roll tactics with Milicic, helping the Grizzlies score consecutively.

The firepower of the Grizzlies continued.

It's a pity that Deron seized Warrick's weakness and continued to help Boozer score strongly.

A few minutes later, the two teams drew at 20:20.

Then into the rotation, coach Carlisle noticed that Warrick was a little emotional and replaced him.

End of first quarter, 23:25.

The Grizzlies trailed by 2 points.

In the first quarter, Li Lei scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

也就是说，灰熊队的23分里至少有18（8+5×2）分和李磊有直接的关系。

Again, this Grizzlies team relies too much on Li Lei.

And on the other side:
Deron scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, perfectly completing his organizational tasks.

The most eye-catching is Boozer. With the help of Deron, he scored a game-high 10 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter.

In the face of Warrick, Boozer is really anything and everything, as in no man's land.

When Li Lei left the field, Warrick sat with his head bowed, his head wrapped in a towel, and his face was full of remorse.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I can't handle Boozer at all, I'm the one who dragged the team down."

Li Lei didn't blame Warrick, but gave him a smile to comfort Warrick.

Fortunately, he knew the self-blame and made progress on behalf of Warrick.

As long as people are self-motivated, they can be saved.

If Warrick had a playful smile and a look of indifference, Li Lei would be completely disappointed in this person.

Therefore, Li Lei plans to teach Warrick well.

"Hajim, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to handle Boozer, he's really too strong!"

"But you can play smarter! You... so so, so so!"

Watching Li Lei teach Warrick, all the Grizzlies players gathered around.

Boss class time, can meet but not ask for.

Carlisle couldn't stop the smile on his face as he watched this scene.

The atmosphere of the Grizzlies is really good, and it feels like they want to stay here forever.
