unfinished glory

Chapter 179 News of November
After beating the Bulls, the Grizzlies ushered in their next opponent.

A "Black Seven" used up the luck the Warriors had accumulated for several years. The three seasons were full of injuries, and this season has not improved.The Grizzlies were bloodless, 116:84, and Li Chongxiao scored 34 points.

Then there is the Kings, Yi Jianlian has secured his position as the main force.After playing in the Olympics with superstars like Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming, his progress has been obvious.The two "big brothers" gave him a lot of advice and help. These may not increase his skills, but they can make him take a lot of detours.

The Grizzlies also won the next three games.After the away game against the Nuggets, they increased their winning streak to 3 games in one breath.

Just when the fans were rejoicing, the ninth game came to the head. The Grizzlies lost to the Suns in back-to-back away games.

The Grizzlies' formation was dragged down by the Suns' fast break, and the last few players were exhausted.Although Li Chongxiao scored 47 points in the game and scored 22 points in the last quarter, the team was still powerless.

However, for this defeat, the team's head coach Carlisle took it lightly.The Grizzlies this season can be said to be a brand new team. Not only have more than half of the players changed, but even the team's leader players have changed.

Moreover, the team's head coach and tactics have also undergone great changes, switching from the previous inside line to the outside line as the core.

Under such circumstances, losing is a normal thing, and the team also needs to correct mistakes and accumulate experience in each loss.

Fortunately, after the loss, the Knicks, Bucks and Kings ushered in three teams, all of which were weak teams. The Grizzlies also won a wave of three consecutive victories, with a record of 11 wins and 1 loss, beating 10 The Lakers with 1 win, the Celtics with 10 wins and 2 losses and the Cavaliers rank first in the league.

……

The next game was against Avery Johnson's Mavericks.They got off to a poor start this season, only getting a record of 4 wins and 7 losses.

Although Avery Johnson snatched away the qualification to retire the No. 6 jersey, it is obvious that Holt is disgusting people, and Li Chongxiao will not vent his anger on others.

But the boss of the team is in trouble, and other players will naturally share their hatred and offer their hearts.

Li Chongxiao didn't score much in this game. He only scored a season-low 28 points, and the Mavericks lost.The performance of other players is the focus. In the first three quarters, the Grizzlies scored 107 points, leading the Mavericks by as many as 35 points, making the fourth quarter a garbage time.

A home loss to a direct competitor in the Southwest Division sent Avery Johnson out of class.

After the end of last season, his coaching position is in jeopardy.He has always advocated the erection of a better defensive Josh Howard as the core of the team, and the boss Cuban has always admired Nowitzki.

This game became the last straw for his dismissal, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made a quick decision to fire him.

It is very common for NBA players to fire employer coaches, but this unintentional decision made the Spurs very uncomfortable.Because the game they scheduled to retire Avery Johnson's jersey coincided with the Mavericks' visit to San Antonio.

So much so that when a reporter asked whether the Spurs would reschedule the jersey retirement ceremony, Holt was so angry that his face turned livid and he walked away.Or Popovich is more slick, saying that he will not change the time when Avery Johnson's jersey will be retired, because they retired the famous Spurs Avery Johnson, not the Mavericks coach Avery Johnson.

Soon the Grizzlies also saw the joke. After playing the Mavericks and a game against the Jazz, they ushered in the Spurs at home.

Li Chongxiao easily scored 44 points and led the team to victory.And in the game, he pointed his hands to No. 6 behind him several times, which aroused cheers from the home fans.

At home in Memphis, he has a new nickname called "Christ", which means the "savior" of the Grizzlies, which originated from Li Chongxiao's speech after the first regular season.

After playing against the Spurs, Li Chongxiao taught his younger brother Durant a lesson. He completely suppressed the opponent on both ends of the offense and defense, scored 37 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists in a super triple-double, leading the team to win by 28 points.

The last game in November was against the Rockets. Before the start of the regular season, the "ST" combination, which vowed to surpass the "OK" combination, did not perform well. O'Neal and McGrady did not play the role of 11+1 equals 1.

O'Neal became more and more fat and lazy, staying inside and refusing to come out. The offense needed someone to feed the ball, and the defense needed someone to block the first step.

Kobe and Wade can do it, but McGrady can't.

In the past few years, McGrady has gotten used to it. He always likes to shoot from the outside. His shooting percentage is not high, only 40%, and his rebounds are all long rebounds. O'Neal can't hold them.He is not active in defense, and his sleepy eyes make it easy for people to break through.

McGrady was still able to rely on possession of the ball and scored 25 points. O'Neal's data dropped sharply, only scoring 18.3 points and 8.4 rebounds.

And the team's record is a mess, only 6 wins and 10 losses so far.

With less than [-] games played in the regular season, the Rockets had new conflicts. Coach Bickerstaff had no courage, so he could only let it go.

In this game, Li Chongxiao scored 50 points, and defended against McGrady who only scored 22 points. The Rockets owner Alexander who watched the game felt regretful.

There was another episode in the game. Four minutes before the end of the game, McGrady, who had been persistently fighting against Li Chongxiao, was disheartened by the 4-point difference and gave up resistance.Let Li Chongxiao easily pass by and get into the inside line.

Unprepared, O'Neill couldn't recover, and didn't make effective defensive or protective moves, and was knocked to the ground by Li Chongxiao's neck.

O'Neill fell to the ground, his blood surged suddenly, he struggled, and wanted to fight.

Before that, not to mention being dunked by a rider, even dunks only happened once, and that was still in his rookie season.However, Coleman dunked every time, and later he avenged it with a super triple-double of 24 points, 28 rebounds and 15 blocks.

This riding dunk was the most serious "insult" he had ever received since playing basketball. After O'Neill got up, without a word, he punched Li Chongxiao with a left uppercut, which was dodged, and a right uppercut was also dodged.

Li Chongxiao, who was attacked twice in a row, was not to be outdone, grabbed the opponent's arm and pulled it, tripped his leg between O'Neill's legs, and used a posture of borrowing strength to knock the opponent down to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he clenched his fist and rode up to give the opponent a ruthless kick, but was pulled away by his teammates behind him.

The head coach ran over and separated the crowd.

The players on the Grizzlies side surrounded Li Chongxiao and returned to the bench, but only two or three picked up O'Neal.During the whole process, McGrady watched coldly from the sidelines.

……

The referees watched the video carefully, and it was obvious that O'Neill was the first to provoke, and the expulsion was certain. The main conflict now focused on the penalty for Li Chongxiao.

Li Chongxiao's first two movements were dodging, he did not fight back, and the third movement did not throw a punch, so it is impossible to judge.

One referee advocated that he should also be sent out, but the other two referees believed that the pulling action was just a technical foul.

As a result, before the referee made a penalty, there were quarrels from the Rockets' bench. O'Neill loudly accused McGrady of being lazy and careless in defense, which caused him to suffer "the humiliation of the crotch".

McGrady is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He satirizes that O'Neill is as fat as a pig, and he will wait for someone to feed him, and he refuses to jump.

The two almost got into a fight, but luckily they were separated by a teammate. In desperation, O'Neill pointed at Li Chongxiao and yelled at McGrady: "Just like you, you still want to compete with Kobe? You are not even as good as that kid on the field!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the player tunnel and went to the locker room without looking back.McGrady also slammed the towel on the ground, and knocked over the water dispenser with another punch.

The referee looked at the Rockets' bench in bewilderment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He gestured to the player tunnel to expel him from the field, and turned around and gave Li Chongxiao a technical foul.

The fans at the Rockets' home court had just experienced a farce, and they were powerless to protest the referee's penalty. There was no further disturbance after the game, and it ended hastily.
