The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

No more suspense
Just waiting for Li Ming to come over with the ball, trying to use his experience to make him an offensive foul.

But when Du Lin saw the opponent's big center under the basket, he instinctively slowed down his dribbling speed. After a pause, he turned around and accelerated again. He walked towards the basket, but the ball seemed to fly away.

After passing the ball, Li Ming had come to the basket at this time, Heywood shouted that he was fooled, and he had already completed the finish.

In the next few rounds, the two sides had mutual offense and defense. In the end, the score in the first half was fixed at 37 to 54. The Grizzlies at home led by 17 points and entered the second half, while the Mavericks who defended at the same time only scored 37 points in the half.

Conley scored the most points for the Grizzlies, followed by Li Ming with 13 points, Gay with 7 points, Randolph with 7 points and 9 rebounds, four of which were offensive rebounds.Zach Randolph's performance was very eye-catching, with double figures in rebounds at halftime.

Almost single-handedly twisted the Mavericks' inner muscle group.

"The Grizzlies this season will be very interesting. Their system has matured." Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

9 points and 4 assists, this is the data that rookie Kenyon Dooling got in 6 minutes of playing time. He perfectly completed the task that Hollins gave him.

During the half-time break, coach Carlisle accepted the interview with the reporters on the sidelines with a dark face all the way.

Usually the sideline reporters are interviewing the leading party, but due to Carlisle's too much face, interviewing him is more gimmick than interviewing Hollins, and it can attract more traffic.

Besides, Hollins' team has already led by almost [-] points, and there is almost no suspense in this game. After the game, there are many opportunities to interview him.

"Coach Carlisle, what do you think about tonight's game?" The reporter from the Memphis Sports News asked cautiously.

"What's your opinion? What's your opinion? This is just an ordinary regular season, and the season is still very long." The implication is that if you can't catch up this time, forget it and prepare for the next game.

"After Jason Terry and others left, the team's outside firepower dropped sharply. Is this the main reason for the current passive situation? After all, the team relies most on Tyson Chandler on the inside and Jason Chandler on the outside. Li has left." It seems that this buddy has done his homework.

"Uh...it's not something I can decide. I can't influence the management's decision." Well, it's Guo's fault! !Perfect, nothing wrong!

Carlisle turned his head and left without saying a few words. Obviously, he was not interested in such an interview, especially when the team fell behind by a large score, he was a very characterful coach.

During the halftime game, the home team played a lottery, one of which was called "Secret and Surprise." Simply put, this season's package tickets were hidden in some hairbands or jersey packages, and the mascot Distributed randomly.

This idea earned enough gimmicks, which brought a spring breeze to the originally dull Memphis ball market.

After a short break, the players entered the arena. The Mavericks players didn't change much in their expressions, but Nowitzki almost sat on the court and watched his teammates perform in the third quarter.

Carlisle almost came up and down, a bit like the old man Popovich of the Spurs.

These substitute teammates worked hard on the court. Although they failed to narrow the gap, they were everywhere in every offensive choice, every defensive position, and even the scramble for the floor ball.

There was even a situation where Jones played five with one player after stealing the ball. He abruptly pushed the basketball into the basket and received an additional penalty. The spirit of desperate Saburo filled everyone's body.

Li Ming was also taken down by Coach Hollins in the second half of the third quarter. In this game, his score was fixed at 19 points, including four three-pointers and four steals. , At the same time, there are 11 assists, which is the second time in his career that he has reached double figures in assists.

Haywood also completed a very morale-slam dunk in the matchup at the basket, which won the appreciation of the bench. You must know that he faced Zach Randolph's tough defense.

Coach Carlisle also applauded appreciatively off the court, constantly motivating his disciples. It was obvious that he was not going to withdraw from this game.

Kaman, who had a knee injury, also got some opportunities to play in this quarter. Carlisle wanted him to slowly recover a little bit of confrontational intensity and adapt to the rhythm of the game earlier. Kaman made four shots and hit two goals in the limited time. At the same time, there were two free throws and scored 6 points.

In the fourth quarter, Coach Hollins simply waved his hand, replacing Randolph, Conley, Gay and others, and also played five substitutes to play against each other.

It is ironic that the competition in the fourth quarter made the somewhat dull game a little more interesting. The substitutes defended desperately on the court to win the favor of the coach, and every ball must be fought.

Because the hole in front of him was too big, although he tried his best to chase back, he still lost the game without any suspense.

At the sound of the referee's whistle, the score was fixed at 84 to 97, and the Grizzlies at home won the game.

"Hey, you played very well, buddy, come on!" Nowitzki graciously came over to hug Li Ming after the game.

Li Ming was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He originally wanted to say a few words of praise to the other party, but he still couldn't come out with a single word from his open mouth.

"Oh my God, Dirk, the famous killer in the league, the superstar of the Dallas people." Li Ming felt his body was light...

{Ding!Congratulations to the host for completing the tasks of scoring four three-pointers and three steals from the outside line. You have obtained an additional value of 20000 points, which you can use to exchange for products of the same price in the commodity city. }
{Also, your jump shot is 91% similar to Klay Thompson}
"Wow, isn't that a proper top scorer now? Any stats changing?"

{Please wait}
Li Ming: Height 191
strength 86

breakthrough 91
Defense 91
Overall Assessment: S-
Well, at least I have entered the S rank, so let's work hard towards the SS. Li Ming strode towards the locker room, where there was a row of reporters blocking the aisle.

Guy was already shirtless for the interview, and Randolph next to him tried to squeeze in, probably because he was too tired, and was in a hurry to take a shower.

At the press conference after a while, Coach Hollins named Conley and Randolph to participate, so Gay seized this difficult opportunity to say as much as possible to increase his exposure.

"Rudy, why do they always ask so much about your shot selection? What do you think is the problem?" The reporters were also waiting for his answer.Taking advantage of everyone not paying attention, Li Ming immediately slipped into the locker room to change clothes and take a shower.

"Uh... this is a serious topic. First of all, it is certain that the media and individuals who say that I am selfish or that my shooting is unstable are some media and individuals with ulterior motives. I have a good relationship with Coach Hollins and he agrees. My shooting ability and the confidence in me..."

The second half of the sentence should have been added by Guy himself, and the reporters dispersed in a swarm after getting the answer they wanted.
