NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 868 He Must Be The Next Kobe

Barkley yelled: "This data is not enough to show the defensive performance of the Hammers in the second quarter. I will now talk about a few data.

First, the Hammer made his opponent Gasol and other substitutes 5 of 1 shots in the second quarter, sent 2 blocks and 1 steal, and directly killed the Grizzlies' inside offense.

Second, the Hammer made 6 help defenses in a single quarter, including 2 steals and 1 block. The opponent made one of two shots.

The Grizzlies had only 14 offenses from the outside line, 6 of which were assisted by the Hammers, and they made 6 of 1 shots. This kind of terrifying defensive performance cannot be reflected by the statistics of the Hammers. Only his opponents can Feel his terror.

The last one, the Hammer passed his defense, forcing the opponent away from the basket again, and the shooting rate decreased. This is the reason why the total number of rebounds in the second quarter reached 28. He grabbed 11 rebounds in a single quarter, allowing the team's shots The number of times far exceeds that of the opponent. "

Kenny Smith said: "Now halftime is over, the score is 40:70, and the Suns have led by 30 points. Facing the Big Three of the Grizzlies, the Suns only took halftime to send the game into garbage time.

If O'Neal's physical fitness can last the whole game, the Grizzlies can still fight the Suns, but he can't last that long, so if the Grizzlies meet the Suns in the playoffs, they will not be able to handle it. "

Barkley said: "The Hammer's defensive performance, I can only say that it has completely destroyed the balance of the league team. As he said himself, with him, he can top half of the team. So fight more and less.

I can now understand why there was that super big deal during the offseason, because if the superstars don't get together, they have no chance of survival at all. "

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "I can now understand why the Hammers opened a training camp, because he was worried that there would be no strong enough opponents. By the way, he also opened a training camp in China, maybe there will be more training camps in the future." How many Chinese players have entered the NBA."

"It's possible. Yi will participate in the draft next year. With the approval of the hammer, he is expected to be in the top five." Barkley laughed.

The intermission ended, and the two teams left the locker room, just in time to meet at the exit.

Li Ba said to O'Neal: "Shaq, will you still play in the second half?"

O'Neal said angrily: "The second half is the time for me to show my value. You just stay at the basket and don't go anywhere."

Marbury said to Gasol: "Paul, we shot them to death in the second half."

Gasol nodded, and said honestly: "It's just that rebounds can't be guaranteed, and we take too few shots."

"Pfft!"

On the Suns side, Li Ba and others were all laughing.

O'Neill's face darkened instantly, Schett, Paul, rebounding is also your job, who are you to blame?
But he knew Gasol was a nice guy, so he wasn't too angry.

The second half begins.

The Grizzlies replaced Eddie Jones. This guy is too old, he is 35. As a swingman, he is no longer able to play.

Rudy Gay, hit a half in the second quarter and hit it again in the third.

This rookie is the No. 8 pick in the first round of this year. Judging from the previous few games, in the limited time, he played pretty well, and the Grizzlies' No. 8 pick was not wasted.

He was small forward, swapping positions with Mike Miller, who could play from the two to the four.

"Jerry, our rookie has no dead ends for shooting, and he is very athletic and explosive. He is an absolute wing player. He can use the distance and angle of the wing to launch a gliding dunk on the basket. I think he is The next Kobe."

Courtside, Grizzlies general manager Jerry West said to Jerry Colangelo.

"Jerry, his temperament is a bit different from Kobe. There are a lot of players with excellent quality, because of their personality, they can't fulfill their talents."

The latter laughed.

West nodded and said: "I also discovered that this is his shortcoming. He is a bit lazy on the court and doesn't work too hard on defense, but as long as he makes up for this shortcoming, he must be the next Kobe."

Speaking of this, he said enviously: "You have a guy who has fully realized his talent, and he is changing the situation of the entire league."

Colangelo said with a smile: "So he not only belongs to us, but also belongs to the entire league. You have a good season this season."

West smiled happily: "Our base is too low, and it has increased four times. Our goal of building a strong team has been achieved."

At the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies attacked.

O'Neal moved around the basket again, holding Li Ba close to the basket, thus freeing the outside line.

The Grizzlies' outside line became active and ran frequently.

Rookie Rudy Gay leaned on Tony Allen on the right wing for the ball.

He is as tall as Mike Miller, 10 centimeters taller than Tony Allen, and weighs 102 kilograms, which is 5 kilograms heavier than the latter. His wingspan reaches 221 centimeters, which is a lot longer than Tony Allen. Development, and tonnage, playing Tony Allen, his dislocation advantage is too great.

Marbury does not discriminate against rookies, pass it on.

Li Ba has been eyeing Rudy Gay for a long time, because this rookie has a dislocation advantage against Tony Allen, which is his key goal of assisting defense.

So as soon as Marbury passed the ball, he rushed to the wing.

Gay caught the ball, turned and jumped, and forced a shot over the head of Tony Allen, who was a length shorter than him.

The height of his shot is relatively too high. Tony Allen defends close to him, but he can't push him, and he successfully jumps up.

But at this moment, Li Ba rushed over in two steps, emerged from behind Tony Allen, and slapped the ball he had just thrown away.

The rookie was a little confused, but Li Ba immediately turned around and got off.

Li Ba is not interested in saying welcome to the NBA nonsense to rookies, he will only use horrible defenses to let these rookies understand that the NBA is not so easy to mess with.

Rudy Gay reacted and chased Li Ba desperately.

His athletic talent is indeed strong, and he is faster, catching up with Li Ba.

Jerry West's eyes lit up. This rookie's defense is not very good, and he doesn't pay much attention. He focuses on offense. Now he is so active in chasing and defending. This is a good sign!

Li Ba crossed the three-point line, dribbled the ball in a different direction, bypassed Gasol there, rushed across the center line from the middle, and entered the frontcourt.

Gay caught up with Li Ba on the center line and wanted to steal it, but he found that there was no way to steal it. Li Ba was holding the ball with his right hand.

So he speeded up and overtook, trying to slow down Li Ba and let his teammates come over to double-team.

Seeing that Guy wanted to get in front of him, Li Ba not only didn't slow down, but immediately accelerated, and with a bang, he directly hit the rookie into the air.

Guy, who was flying in the air, felt that he had been in a car accident. As soon as the thought came up, he fell heavily to the floor with a bang.

Li Ba also staggered, lost control of the ball and was snatched by Marbury.

Marbury immediately called a timeout because the rookie didn't get up from the floor.
