New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 284 Killer Grizzly

The strength of the Memphis Grizzlies comes from unity.Their head coach was Hawley, the defensive coach of the Spurs, and the Grizzlies' boss saw the potential, so he directly straightened up after poaching corners.

Because their signings in the season were too failed, and they were even ridiculed to go directly to the lottery zone. After Holly took office, no one thought that this grandfather-level coach with only assistant teaching experience could do anything.

But the performance of the Grizzlies immediately slapped the faces of all the so-called ball critics who looked down on them. All the fans seemed to have seen the strength of the ancient defensive lineup in the game.

In the hands of Hawley, the black center Purdue, who was criticized for being slow and stupid in the past, seemed to have a new life.And his movement speed is really slow, he looks stupid and stupid, but his lateral movement and defensive awareness are better than most of the insiders in the league.

Even if John Purdue does not have any hard honors, even if he ranks among the top three in the selection of the best defensive player all the year round, it is a pity that he is too low-key so no one wins.

But coach Holly praised the direct core in front of the media more than once, which also made him selected as an All-Star.But overall he is definitely underrated.

Plus a 1-meter power forward Doge, although his height is not good, and his jumping is not dazzling.But this guy has a weird sense of rebounding. His long arms and legs are like Rodman, the big bug back then. Although his offense is a bit weak, his rebounding ability is still impressive.

Any team playing defensive counterattack or fast break is doomed to lose if they can't control the rebounds.In addition, everyone is playing fast in the current game, and no one will be able to adapt to a Grizzlies team that is as slow as an old bull.

The old coach Hawley is actually the kind of representative who magnifies a characteristic of the team to the extreme.No superstars or even dim stars though.But looking at the entire league, no team will ignore their existence.

Whether it's the Golden State Warriors or the equally strong defensive Spurs, the Grizzlies have become a spoiler in the West since Holly entered the team.

And when they fell behind 3-0 in last season's Western Conference semifinals and nearly beat the defending champion Golden State Warriors in three straight games, everyone began to appreciate the Grizzlies' defensive art.

In addition to the two defenses and rebounds in the interior.The three players surrounding the Grizzlies' frontcourt are equally strong defensively.The small forward is 2 meters 03 but weighs nearly 120 kilograms, the big fat man Opp.What's even more amazing is that the weight didn't affect his athleticism.

Although everyone feels that if Opken controls his weight, he will play a more beautiful game.It's just that in the Grizzlies team, an Opp who can defend the 3, 4, and 5 positions is obviously more useful.

Hawley doesn't mind Op's overweight at all. On the contrary, he likes such a player who can make full use of his size.Opp has no three-point ability at all, but this does not mean that he is not a master of scoring.

If Zhang Yi is the kind of player who has both offense and defense, speed, explosive power and everything everyone wants to see, then Aopu is absolutely different.He doesn't care about anyone's opinion, which can also be called selfish.

But no matter what others say, he can always come up with a convincing performance.A game with more than 20 points and a dozen rebounds, and maybe even a few steals and a few assists...

If Dogg is the modern Rodman, then Op is the new generation of Flying Pig Charles Barkley.In addition, the height and wingspan of the two guards are not high, but the defense is actively fighting for players like vicious dogs.

The Grizzlies' starting five is simply a nightmare for other teams. To put it bluntly, even if the opponent is big and strong, he still looks like a child in front of this gang of villains.

The Lakers are well aware of the opponent's routines, especially the head coach Wacker, who was taught by such a pure meat shield player and defensive team in the player era, so it can be considered a lot of experience.

Zhang Yi's advantage must still be the key factor in this game.It's just that it's really hard to say whether he can play against Op's defense. After all, even the experienced Zhang Yi has probably never encountered such a defender.

Wacker also vaccinated him before the opening game.Although the injuries during the game were uncontrollable, there must be no surprises for Zhang Yi as the most critical factor in the Lakers' revival.

The same is true for other players. Jaina managed to make such a good lineup for the Lakers. Wacker doesn't want to suffer any serious injuries because of a high-intensity game.

After all, they are not a team like the Golden State Warriors or the New York Knicks. If they lack background, they will be afraid of injuries.Who can say that if Zhang Yi falls one day, will the Lakers fall directly from the No. [-] position in the Western Conference to the lottery zone.

These are all conceivable situations.Wacker is not afraid to deal with a team like the Golden State Warriors now, because the opponent only needs to beware of the few villains, but the Grizzlies?Sorry, from starters to the bench, every player has a history of injuries.

They are like a bunch of villains in jerseys. If they have never been in jail, in basketball terms, they have not been directly expelled or injured their opponents, that player will be looked down upon by the rest of the Grizzlies.

Hawley definitely caused a big problem for the league. Fortunately, the current treatment technology has improved.But obviously, the more this is the case, the lower the cost of hurting people.

The season reimbursement that has often occurred in the past has not come to the league for a long time, but the Grizzlies' actions are still fierce.No matter how strict the alliance's whistle blowing, their tricks are like trained killers, leaving no trace.

As soon as the Los Angeles Lakers appeared on the Grizzlies' home court, the players and the audience all gave cold-blooded eyes.It seems that this is not a place to play basketball, but an execution ground, and the prisoners who are going to be shot are all members of the Lakers.

Zhang Yi is also the player who is most concerned by the players here.Because for them, these superstars are the best military medals.If this proud freshman can be knocked down in the game, even if it is the price of being expelled, I am afraid that he will enjoy the warmest applause from the audience.

"What's the matter with them?" "They're all criminals! Yi, you have to be careful. Because in the neighborhood where people like us grew up, yellow skin is always the target of bullying..."

Hearing Robert's words, Zhang Yi knew that his brother was definitely not just talking about it.In the American community, as he said, this kind of discrimination runs in the blood.

The eyes of the five killer players of the Grizzlies did fall on Zhang Yi, which also made Wacker very nervous standing on the sidelines.If the player on the court was him instead of Zhang Yi, I am afraid Wacker would have a better time.

Holly has white hair, but is not kind at all.On the contrary, the capable short hair and hooked nose make people feel that standing here is not the head coach, but the boss of a gang...
