unfinished glory

Chapter 183 New Generation No.1

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Chongxiao did not play, and James was resting.

The Grizzlies are led by Gasol and Mike Miller, and they are also playing well.This lineup is the mature lineup of the Grizzlies in the first two seasons, and it also has a set of offense, which quickly opened the point difference to 15 points.

James had only rested for 2 minutes before he couldn't sit still and asked to play. One made a breakthrough pass, the other fouled 2+0, and finally stabilized the situation again.

Li Chongxiao rested for a while, and followed suit.He didn't start playing singles as soon as he came up, but tried to take the defender away so that his teammates could get better offensive opportunities.

Both stars use their own ways to help the team move forward.They all want to prevent each other to death, but they also know that there is no way to completely restrict players of this level.

Take Li Chongxiao as an example. If you really don't care about it, you can definitely score 60 points, but it's hard to say whether the team can win.

It is also impossible for James to be a player who only cares about statistics and does not care about the team's winning or losing.Whether he is attacking or passing the ball, the ultimate goal is definitely to win.

Without the star matchup, this quarter was a little flat and not so exciting.But the offensive efficiency of both sides is not low, the Cavaliers scored 32 points, while the Grizzlies scored 33 points.

With the style of play of the two teams, it is not at all obvious that the coaches on both sides were focusing on defense before.

The guest commentators in the arena analyzed this phenomenon and believed that it was not that the defense was not good, but that the core performance of the teams on both sides was too good, so the team's offensive ability was improved.

Li Chongxiao made 20 of 16 shots and scored 39 points. If the stalemate persists in the second half, it is likely to be another 60-point game.

James is not bad here, he has already scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and he is heading straight for a triple-double.

After the first half, the score on the court was 70:59. The Grizzlies played against the Cavaliers in the chassis. From the first ball, they kept pressing the opponent.

……

In the locker room, Carlisle made a detailed tactical score, so at the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies slowed down and slowly lingered with the Cavaliers.

On the offensive end, including Li Chongxiao, they are all running tactics and have a high success rate.The defensive end mainly pinches James, forcing him to reduce his organizational offense and increase individual singles.

The Cavaliers have no good way, their offense is really not smooth enough.Except for James, only Mo William Moss has better singles ability.

The rest, like Big Z, Varejao, and Gibson, are all players who need to be fed, and they all rely more on James' passes.

Once James can't move the ball, the Cavaliers will be in trouble offensively.

After consecutive failed passes, James had to go back to the way he started in the first quarter, and continued to perform individual singles to help the team cling to the score.

The Grizzlies have excellent defensive players and tactics. Battier is the main defender, Li Chongxiao is the assistant, and the Gasol brothers' progressive defensive strategy makes James have to stay away from the basket and choose to jump from the outside.

This is not the offense and defense he is good at, and the usual effect is not very good.But today the basket at home is more caring, and his shooting percentage is not bad.

But relying solely on the offensive efficiency of James singles, compared with the Grizzlies, it seems not smooth enough.

The Grizzlies are all soldiers now, and the two players on the inside have a soft touch, and they can get the ball in anywhere within the three-second zone.

The outside players, Li Chongxiao, Battier and Conley, are all players with better shots.As long as the rotation is over, you can make a move.

The Grizzlies did not score explosively in this quarter, but relied on the success rate to slowly open the point difference to 20 points.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, Li Chongxiao, who scored 47 points, left the court happily, but James still had to work hard on the court.

Seeing that his teammates couldn't score any goals, he was really impatient. He dribbled the ball and made two kills in a row before narrowing the point difference to 18 points.

As soon as the fourth quarter opened, he returned to the court, constantly breaking through and causing damage.Carlisle short-circuited for a while, and still stubbornly let Li Chongxiao rest for more than 8 minutes according to the conventional tactics.

Li Chongxiao didn't remind the coach that he should take the initiative to play, anyway, he was still ahead on the court, and there was plenty of room for Carlisle to regain his senses.

When James had already relied on his own impact to score 41 points and chased the point difference to 11 points, Carlisle woke up like a dream and hurriedly replaced all the main players.

Li Chongxiao didn't hit the first ball recklessly after he came on the court, but patiently passed the pick-and-roll, cut in the air, shook Daben's defense, and scored the ball.

Then in the second round, he used the technique of back-up singles and succeeded in overpowering James.

James was also excited. Not only did he fight back, breaking through to score a 2+1, he also assisted Gibson to make a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 9 points.

Seeing the team come back to life, the cheering voice of the fans on the scene became louder.

Li Chongxiao saw that this was okay, and started to control the ball. He assisted once in 3 minutes, scored two three-pointers, and opened the point difference to 15 points.

At this time, he had scored 57 points, but Mike Brown didn't think about it so much, he only knew that Li Chongxiao couldn't score so easily.

He called a timeout, carefully arranged tactics, and asked James to take the lead, and the other players should cooperate. They must defend carefully and double-team, so as not to let Li Chongxiao get up.

Li Chongxiao suffered this loss in the first half, so how could he fight back.When he saw that the Cavaliers' defensive formation was wrong, he immediately changed his offensive routine, turned into an organizer, and passed the ball to his teammates.

Not only did the Cavaliers fail to contain the Grizzlies' offense, but they also exposed their own defensive weaknesses because of the transitional double-teaming of Li Chongxiao, which gave other Grizzlies players a chance to score goals.

When they realized it and hurriedly corrected it, they forgot what Mike Brown told them to watch Li Chongxiao die.

Let Li Chongxiao see the opportunity and hit three more goals, refreshing his personal highest score to 63 points.

At this time, the game is only 4 minutes away, and the point difference has become 24 points.

The rhythm of James' playing today is not right, and he is a little too hard, and he will be exhausted and out of breath.Knowing that the general situation was over, Mike Brown withdrew the main force and declared the end of the game.

With Li Chongxiao's score, the Grizzlies defeated the Cavaliers in the away game, which made a good start for this trip of strong teams.

Li Chongxiao won this competition with James, coupled with his three 60+ performances this season, he conquered many fans at once.Habitually ignoring Yao Ming, some sports media and fans gave him the title of "No.1 of the new generation".

　Some people say that today is the last day of 2019 and it should be updated.I thought about it carefully and it made sense.
