Basketball myth

Chapter 68 Fighting the Grizzlies
Unknowingly, the Nets have won four consecutive victories. Of course, they don't have a lot of attention now, because the Lakers!Spurs!Mavericks!Each of these veteran teams began to show their power, and even the Heat began to win consecutively.

The Nets didn't have a winning streak all the time. They lost a game every once in a while at the beginning of December. Many reporters said that the Nets had shown their true colors!
At the beginning, some gossips were jealous of the Nets. Everyone just thought that Thomas led the team well. The players of the Nets have potential. Are the Nets a threat?Hehe, are you kidding me?Or talk about the talk show?Of course, I don't know what individual coaches think!

So taking advantage of the gap during this period, Thomas is trying his best to win, not to mention that during the holiday period before Christmas, basketball is not the focus, let alone a small team led by Thomas!

Of course, for the Nets, there is another bad news that in the last game days before Christmas, the Nets ushered in a back-to-back game!
On December 12st, the Nets challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away.

The Grizzlies are now 12 wins and 16 losses, hovering on the edge of the playoffs. The team has many problems. The first problem is that Allen did not sign with the Grizzlies, which caused the Grizzlies' defensive ability in the backcourt to drop a lot. .

Second, there are too many offensive options and the distribution of ball rights is very unclear. Zach Randolph still hasn't proved himself!There are many people talking about Rudy Gay, the team moor, but now he is the head of the team. He has just completed his contract renewal. You can't give up on him now!

Third, there is too little defensive enthusiasm, or in other words, it is not the style that a playoff team should have!

The main force of the Grizzlies is Mike Conley, a very fast point guard who is a line behind the league's top point guards and has a strong defensive ability!And the quality is cheap. In this era of guards with tens of millions of levels, his salary was only 2016 million in 968. Well, if there is no Curry, Thomas will definitely consider him.

I'm talking about Conley in the future. Now he has no ball rights, no defense, and no high trust!They belong to the group with potential!

Well, in other words, Thomas doesn't look down on him now!
Xavier Henry, the rookie selected by the Grizzlies this year with the 12th overall pick, gave him not many opportunities, the kind of rookie whose potential is difficult to realize.In fact, he has been wandering since the end of his rookie season. Of course, Allen did not go to the Grizzlies in my book, so his opportunities have become many. Well, in a sense, Thomas saved him!
Rudy Gay, a player who can match LeBron's physical fitness, is unfortunately not aggressive, has not honed his various abilities, and likes jump shots, but his shooting percentage is terrible, and the three-pointer is terrible. Than, huh, not so soft to the touch, not as elegant as a breakthrough.One is a player who relies on his body to play, more than anyone else!
Well, I've already described him as miserable, and it's just a personal attack, (doesn't it count as what I just said?) But I really envy his physical fitness!Why!

Zach Randolph, not much to say, is now a big black bear who has not yet matured!A power forward who is still fighting for the ball!

Marc Gasol, a traditional center, a big center with 5 assists per game!It's a pity that there is no very strong scoring ability. Of course, if there is, the salary must start at more than 1500 million!

Regarding him, the author just wants to say that if it weren't for the fact that Loew's movement speed is also very slow, the author would definitely replace him!complete!

The main lineup sent by the Nets today is Curry, Matthews, George, Love, Diaw!

At the beginning of the game, Ibaka jumped the ball and won. Thomas is a competitive person, and he fought for the ball in the opening game to the end!
The offense of the Nets, facing Conley's defense, Curry looked for the opponent's loopholes, not attacking by himself at the beginning!Suddenly George got rid of Gay's defense, caught and shot the ball, and the ball went in. This is Gay's defense. No wonder it didn't fit in with the later Grizzlies!No wonder it is difficult for a team with him to enter the playoffs!

It's basically just eye protection, okay?
In the offense of the Grizzlies, the first ball was of course the titular boss Guy. Facing George's defense, Guy suddenly jumped up. Well, the bounce is very good, the wingspan is very long, and the hand feels good!It's a pity that he didn't make it. Relying on his physical fitness to make such a jump shot attack is really...

After the ball bounced and fell into George's arms, the Nets made a fast break!It's a pity that the Grizzlies moved very fast and didn't give the Nets a chance!
But Love and Diaw both have three-point strength. Randolph and Mark had to come out to defend. Lots of opportunities!
Matthews has another chance for post-up singles. Xavier's thin body is completely unable to resist the impact of Matthews. The most important thing is that the Grizzlies have no intention of helping defense at all. Ferson's gambling defense!If the ball is not broken, what is left to the opponent is a good opportunity to attack!

The first quarter ended when the Nets started a crazy offense and the Grizzlies had a singles. Neither of the Grizzlies’ two bears had a chance to play. Thomas’ strategy today is to let you Gay’s offense, only George guard you!

For this Grizzlies team without a fixed system, the Nets just need to be more careful, and don't need to make more efforts to come up with any tactics!Because sometimes, simple is the most reliable!
Love did not attack in the first half, but he protected the rebounds very well. In the cooperation with Dior, the Grizzlies' height advantage is completely unobvious!
At the end of the first quarter, the Nets lead the Grizzlies 26:18!
In the second quarter, the substitute came on, and the Grizzlies' substitute is still somewhat capable, such as Mayo!A player who didn't realize his potential at the beginning has outstanding offensive ability, but he can't control his own position. He doesn't look like a star at all!

Darrell Arthur, an important rotation member of the Grizzlies, is a power forward who can average 9 points and 4 rebounds per game this season, but unfortunately his body is too thin for this position!

Marc Gasol and Outlaw signed from the free market!

Is Greivis Vasquez, a rookie point guard, a solid rotation player in the future, now?Very average, among the Grizzlies who are all high draft picks, he has very few opportunities!
Speaking of this, let's talk about the high-ranking drafts that the Grizzlies wasted. They are really conscious. Maybe the management will change in the future!
Haddadi in 09 was a complete joke. Could it be that as long as someone from Africa is Olajuwon or Uncle Mu?This player is really a joke, and it has dealt a big blow to this kid from Africa.

Otherwise, if selected at the 20th pick, it may not be an excellent substitute!How should I put it, where is his height!

In Mayo in 08, he had abilities, but his draft position did not fit his situation at all. Behind him were Love and Westbrook!
Henry, the 10th pick in 12.Well, after one season, it's really good to trade people away?
The most ridiculous thing is that when the Grizzlies rise in the future, the players they rely on are Mark in the second round, Randolph with the 19th pick, Allen with the 25th pick who was intercepted by the Nets, and Allen with the 20th pick Prince, hehe, fortunately, there is a Conley who earns face, otherwise, the management of the Grizzlies is really amazing!

The Nets sent Allen, Asik, Bledsoe, Stephenson, Ibaka in the second quarter!

This lineup is all about defense, and the rest of the offense is left to Bledsoe and Stephenson!
If it is said that Thomas came from time travel, then he is really too vicious to treat the current Grizzlies with the best defense of the later Grizzlies. Hehe, the question is, did Thomas come from time travel?

But what I have to say is that Mayo met Allen, there is really no way!

……

On the list!hehe!For the first time in life!Hope more people see my book!be my friend!I have always thanked my friends who have supported me for so long!Thanks!
