The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 146 The Scorching Western Conference Finals

There are not many stream-of-consciousness players in the NBA, but those guys are definitely not easy to mess with, such as Olajuwon in front of you, or the logo man and the king of pretending Larry Bird.They are all examples of this.

Unsurprisingly, facing Dameng who is still at the top, Daben has a defensive strategy against ordinary muscular players.It is impossible to use it in front of the other party.It was as if a punch had been punched in the cotton.

But fortunately, no matter how good Olajuwon's side is, it is only 2 points, and the three-pointer on the Grizzlies' side is off the hook again.It makes Tomjanovich's head hurt, if Barkley is normal.One of him and Olajuwon can make up the defense, but it is a pity that Barkley has no idea what he is doing in this game.Now Olajuwon's partner Kevin Willis can only be said to be a blue-collar player, and his defense depends entirely on his body, not his brain. This kind of player can only be regarded as an ordinary existence in the NBA. They can't reach the top. Basketball IQ limits their development.

But Xiao Tian and the others threw it from the outside.You can't ignore it, Mario Eli worked very hard.The Gliders were desperate, and they were all torn apart by the Grizzlies' three-point rain.Tang Shuai didn't know how to adjust at this time.

Eddie Johnson waited for a few veterans to come up, and Paul Westphal immediately brought up the Grizzlies' substitute, except for Horry.They are basically young people. Facing the Rockets' old arms and legs, they ran all over the field again.This makes the rocket's situation more passive.

Barkley was aggrieved off the court, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.Why did it become like this? Looking at the halftime game, the Rockets trailed the Grizzlies by 6 points at home. Although the point difference was not very big, Barkley felt it was very dazzling.

"Guys, you guys are doing a great job, just don't feel pressure to keep playing like this."

Paul Westphal said it very well, because this game is the best opportunity for the Grizzlies. Without external assistance, it is still a bit difficult for the Grizzlies to beat this dynasty-level team.

In the locker room at home, Olajuwon was teaching Flying Pigs. Although Barkley was joking all day long, his desire for victory was stronger than any player. He was tired of losing, so he came to Houston from Phoenix. Part of it was because of money, but more because he was closer to the championship here than he was in the Suns. The O’Brien Cup was the only obsession in Barkley’s heart.

In the second half of the game, Tang Shuai felt that Barkley should be in better shape after resting for so long, so he mentioned him in the starting lineup. As a result, this guy made 4 turnovers in the third quarter, and three of them were missed shots to allow the Grizzlies to counterattack. Barkley has seven turnovers so far without scoring. The other statistics are 000.
This game was a bit difficult to play. Tang Shuai knew very well that under the current situation, the momentum of the Grizzlies had already risen. On the other hand, the Rockets had completely stalled. Barkley was undoubtedly the most frustrated one, but did he really blame him? He didn't play like a normal game.Playing it like this can only show that today's God is not on his side.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Rockets in the away game. Xiao Tian scored 20 points and 15 assists. As for Barkley, who was possessed by the "halo of bad luck", he did not break the embarrassment of 0 points at the end of the game.

The away game won a victory, which shocked the league again. Where is the limit of the Grizzlies? They are so unstaged in the face of the favorites to win the championship. Is their goal the championship?

The media began to hype the game again.Winning this victory has greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies.

The experience and prestige points that this match brought me were not small, and before I knew it, the system was not far from being upgraded again. Although the experience for system upgrades had doubled, the acquisition of experience points had also become easier.

According to the regulations of the system, if the system is upgraded to level three, the restriction will be lifted a bit, and if it is upgraded to the full level.Then all the restrictions in the system will be unlocked, and the maximum level of the system is 20, which is a number that makes people feel hopeless.

In the East, the Heat also won the Bulls away, but there is bad news.That is, Mourning was suspended by the league for playing too unrestrainedly in this game.And the one suspended by the Bulls was just a soy sauce player, which directly made it almost impossible for the Heat to win the next game.

After a day of rest, the second matchup started. This time it was still in Houston, with the same home court and the same opponent, but the process was completely different. Barkley, who had been sleepwalking throughout the last game, completely made the Grizzlies' insiders cry. Could this be from Barkley's anger? Xiao Tian looked at Barkley, who scored 10 points in the first quarter, without any disturbance in his heart. Ten points in a single quarter are not difficult for an S+ player.

As for the Grizzlies, they were all caught in foul troubles. Xiao Tian could only rely on himself, and pass the ball to his teammates if he had the chance. Human Movie Essence played pretty well in this game. So far, he has scored 8 points. The Grizzlies were only 5 points behind at halftime, and Barkley's score at this time was almost 20 points.

Neither Olajuwon nor the glider tried to steal the other side's limelight, but silently did what they should do. The Grizzlies' inside line was greatly tested in this game.

Daben graduated early because of too many fouls before reaching the fourth quarter. This was another big blow to the Grizzlies, but Xiao Tian still didn't give up. Taking advantage of Maloney's daze, he went inside to complete 2+1.
It's a pity that these three points are a drop in the bucket. The Big Three of the Rockets played very well in this game. The Grizzlies really didn't have a great chance in front of them. Xiao Tian scored 25 points and 7 assists in the whole game.

The total scores of the two sides were tied. Barkley scored 37 points and 12 rebounds, almost blowing up the Grizzlies' inside line by himself.

This game exposed the biggest shortcoming of the Grizzlies at present, which is the inside line. The inside line can only rely on Big Ben to defend. For the other inside lines, Horry Finley is a strong offensive and defensive type.

But the only consolation is that the Grizzlies won the No. [-] pick. With Duncan, a genius, joining next season, the Grizzlies' inside strength will definitely improve to a higher level.
