After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

The Memphis Grizzlies should be one of the most hated teams in the league in recent years.

I hate them not because there is anything wrong with their quality, but because I simply don’t like playing with them.

The Grizzlies' games, led by the two black-and-white duo of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, are always full of confrontations.

Coupled with Rudy Gay, Tony Allen, and Mike Conley, the strong and tenacious defense made all teams feel numb.

Let's put it this way, in the Western Conference playoffs in recent years, no team wants to meet them, because even if you win, you will peel off a layer of skin.

After a wave of winning streak, the Mavericks now have a record of 16 wins and 10 losses, but the Grizzlies' record is even better. They are ranked second in the Western Conference with 17 wins and 6 losses.

At the beginning of this game, the Mavericks' energy fell behind compared to the Grizzlies. This is the impact of back-to-back.

On the offensive end, although Crowder and Nowitzki were pulled to the 3-point line, it did make Marc Gasso and Zach Randolph more passive.

But in this game, Su Jiuyun encountered a more difficult opponent than Wade-Tony Allen.

This is the most difficult defensive player that Kobe Bryant personally admitted.

Su Jiuyun always failed to perform consistently under his defense, only one or two good shots occasionally.

He also intercepted two balls under Tony Allen's defense.

This should be the most embarrassing game Su Jiuyun has played since entering the league.

Even if he used the pick-and-roll to break in, he didn't have a good chance against the Grizzlies' frame-protecting ability.

Back to the defensive end, the Mavericks just stopped!

Neither Crowder nor Nowitzki can defend the Grizzlies' interior.

The 2-meter, 06-kilogram Zach Randolph bullied the 118-meter Crowder. It was like an adult beating a child, whether it was height, weight or technical experience.

92:102, the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies on the road, with a record of 16 wins and 11 losses.

本场比赛苏九云15投5中，罚球6罚4中，仅得到14分5个助攻6个篮板。

Nowitzki also only scored 18 points.

Randolph and Gasol combined for 38 points, shooting 28-of-16 from the field.

Rudy Gay also scored 20 points.

After the game, Su Jiuyun felt pain all over his body and cursed:

"Mader, Zach Randolph is simply a humanoid monster. I was ejected directly in the air."

Claude also said with a look of despair:

"Boss, I was beaten directly. I had no room to fight back. Mad, this kind of insider killer is too terrifying. The pressure Howard put on me was far worse than him.

Zach Randolph is like this, but what if it's Shaquille O'Neal? "

Claude was terrified when he thought about it. If he had been born a few years earlier, he didn't know whether he would still be able to play in the NBA.

Su Jiuyun looked at Nowitzki and said:

"Dirk, I have to apologize to you!"

Su Jiuyun's words made everyone in the locker room stunned for a moment, even Nowitzki was stunned, and then smiled:

"Su, have you done anything to feel sorry for me? Don't worry, I will never forgive you!"

"Hahaha"

Nowitzki's words made everyone laugh, and Su Jiuyun looked at Nowitzki dumbfounded.

After everyone had laughed enough, Su Jiuyun said:

"Dirk, before I entered the league, I always felt that your game was a bit soft, and I felt that I was tougher than you.

However, after this game, I realized how wrong I was. How did you deal with monsters like Zach Randolph on both the offensive and defensive ends? "

Su Jiuyun's words made the players who were new to the league every two years stunned, and then they also showed embarrassed expressions. It was clear at a glance that they also thought Nowitzki was weak before.

But Nowitzki didn't take it seriously and said:

“The game is just one game after another, just focus on each game.

As for your own playing style, what should I say, the one that suits you is the best! "

This was just an interlude. He should have been depressed after losing the game, but Su Jiuyun did it quickly. Everyone recovered again.

However, when the Spurs finished the game, everyone was even more moody, but because the gap was a bit big.

Su Jiuyun almost knew what despair was.

During the warm-up before the game, he seemed quite friendly, but Tim Duncan stared blankly, looking innocent and harmless.

Including Parker Ginobili and others, they are not ostentatious at all.

But, but, after the game started, one became more cruel than the other.

Especially Popovich, he is simply not a good person. Instead of letting Danny Green guard Su Jiuyun, he lets Kawhi Leonard guard him.

His height, arms, length and weight all surround Su Jiuyun, which means he has an advantage in speed.

But after a season of training, Leonard's defensive skills have improved, and he knows how to limit Su Jiuyun's speed.

This made Su Jiuyun extremely frustrated, especially his long arms.

苏九云觉得自己1米96的身高，2米10的臂展，就已经很不错了，可顶着个扑克脸的莱昂纳德身高2米01，臂展达到了2米21的恐怖程度。

If he doesn't pay attention when dribbling, he will easily steal the ball, and his long-arm harassment really annoys him beyond measure.

In the end, although he scored 18 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds in this game, he also contributed 5 turnovers.

Nowitzki's performance was the best, with 22 points and 9 rebounds.

反观马刺队这边，丹尼格林全场10投9中，3分球8投7中，得到了25分。

This guy has a good touch, and the Spurs fed him the ball hard. After continuous screens, he caught the ball and shot.

Parker had 18 points, Leonard had 17 points, Duncan had 15 points, Stephen Jackson had 14 points, and Ginobili had 12 points.

99:120

The Mavericks had no power to fight back and lost two games in a row, bringing their record to 16 wins and 12 losses.

After the game, when Su Jiuyun passed by Mr. Popovich, he was pulled back by the old man with rosacea.

"Su, you did great!"

"Uh...sir, aren't you kidding me?"

Popovich was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he did not expect a rookie to talk to him like this. He was not timid or nervous at all, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Haha, no, you are the most talented new generation guard I have ever seen in the league, but the Mavericks are not suitable for you.

When your contract expires, come to the Spurs. I will make you the number one point guard in the league and lead you to the championship! "

Okay, this is poaching!

"Thank you. Mr. Greg, I am very happy playing in the Mavericks. Thank you for your kindness!"

Looking at Su Jiuyun's back, Popovich was still full of reluctance. He felt that Su Jiuyun had a high IQ, tough play, and good defense. Although there were shortcomings in offense, they were not insurmountable.

Especially his tenacious character, toughness and reliability at critical moments.

These are all reasons that attract Popovich.
