Chapter 256 Back-to-Back Opening of Away Games

After Christmas, it’s time for the game again. The Bulls are going to play several away games, two of which are back-to-back against the Grizzlies and Mavericks in the Southwest.

The Grizzlies' current record is 20-7, no, 7-20, while the Bulls are 22-3. Although the two teams are both young teams, the gap is still obvious, even though the Grizzlies are playing at home.

This game was not a national live broadcast. Although the Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis, it still couldn't change the fact that Scout didn't want to see them, and he couldn't blame him. There are 29 teams in the league, and Scout couldn't cover everything.

Although their team has two rookies this year, Battier and Gasol, but the performance of the two rookies could not bring the Grizzlies into the playoff sequence.

Memphis fans are jealous of the Bulls, because the Bulls have a younger lineup than the Grizzlies, but they are the number one in the league, but they say they are the bottom in the league. Why is that? They are both rookies, and they are all draft picks. But the difference is so big, it really makes Memphis fans puzzled and uncomfortable.

The ball market of Memphis is similar to that of Charlotte. The city itself is located in the United States. Although it is not full of various NCAA giants like Charlotte, Memphis also has an NCAA quasi-rich team like the University of Memphis.

During the summer league, the two sides played against each other, but at that time, they were not the main lineup, so the outcome at that time did not explain the problem. This is the first time the two sides have played against each other this season, although the best rookie seems to be no suspense.

The Grizzlies lost to the Celtics in the last game. This time they faced the Chicago Bulls, who also came from the East. They did not want to continue this declining momentum.

The home of the Grizzlies is called the Pyramid Arena. The exterior design of this arena looks like a pyramid, hence the name, and this place is also one of the most iconic buildings in Memphis.

Memphis is located in the state of Tennessee, and there are not many Chinese Americans, so it is very rare for Chinese Americans to come to the scene to watch the game.

Li Lei came to this arena early again to warm up.Although the Grizzlies seem to be far behind the Bulls in terms of record, for this young team, if they play aggressively, they can beat anyone. The reason why the Bulls have transformed so quickly this season is because Li Lei has twisted these young guys into a single rope. No team can resist the bursting out of this united force.

Li Lei was still improving his proficiency. After a long time, other players came in from the outside. When they saw Li Lei, these guys didn't act surprised. They had long been familiar with Li Lei, a training madman. There was no one in the big league.

The last point guard on the Grizzlies side was White Chocolate. The opponent went from Sacramento to Memphis, and the treatment went directly from a prisoner to a guest. Compared with Sacramento’s dislike of White Chocolate, Memphis fans liked this flashy point guard. Although this guy was the one who made a good pass and sent 2 turnovers, some of his passes were indeed full of imagination, such as his elbow pass, which ordinary point guards really don’t know.

Li Lei scanned all the attributes of the white chocolate. Except for the elbow pass, other attributes are negligible, and Li Lei did not choose to copy this skill. Although this movement is very gorgeous, the error tolerance rate is too low.

White Chocolate only glanced at Li Lei, and started to warm up with the ball. He was very curious about Li Lei. This Eastern point guard who had created a whirlwind in the entire league less than a season after his debut, White Chocolate was more curious, especially this guy's training attitude. strict.

The game started quickly. White Chocolate didn't make any fuss at the beginning of the game. After taking the ball halfway through, it was thrown directly to Gasol. Gasol came to the top of the arc. Brand underestimated the opponent and didn't follow.

"Elton, pay attention to defense. This guy's offense has no dead ends. Don't be careless." Brand was a little unhappy when he heard Li Lei's lecture. He really wanted to refute Li Lei, but the latter didn't give him a chance at all, and quickly went to the baseline to catch the ball.

On the Grizzlies side, Li Lei's defense was double-teamed, and White Chocolate was double-teamed with Will Solomon from Clemson University. This guy, like Li Lei, Gasol, and Battier, is a draft pick this year, but compared to those three, Will Solomon's treatment is incomparable to those of them.

This is the biggest tragedy of the players. A more famous example than Will Solomon is Tyreke Evans, the point guard who won the best rookie in the first year.

Super rookies like Evans are treated like this, let alone a second-round pick like Solomon. The two double-teamers are point guards, and the defense is very average. Chandler ignored Swift and came outside, and set a cover for Li Lei.
