The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 222 Isiah Ryder's Basketball Philosophy

But the NBA is such an existence, "The reason is that only the newcomers laugh, and who hears the old ones cry." It is a true portrayal of the players. If you want not to be eliminated by this league, you must constantly make yourself stronger.

Finley's agent wants Finley to leave the Grizzlies, because in the Grizzlies, Finley is not as good as last season, and the most important thing is that the Grizzlies are not in Vancouver.
"Let me think about it again. I want to win a championship and leave before it's too late. The playoffs are my stage. The regular season is my stats. It doesn't have the gold content of the playoffs." Tsk tsk, look at Xiao Tian's realm. The NBA playoffs are similar to the UEFA Champions League in football. Players who shine there can often become famous, and it can even be said that it is not impossible to become famous with one goal.

The agent was speechless to Finley's words, because Finley did not say anything wrong. Although Finley's tactical status has declined now, it is still very important to the Grizzlies.

In this game, McGrady still didn't make the starting lineup, and the Spurs' starting lineup was similar to the previous few games, with Jr. Johnson, Chuck Person, Monty Williams, Will Perdo, and David Robinson.This lineup is currently the Spurs' highest winning lineup.

Wilperdo has a larger tonnage than Malik Rose, and he is more willing to work hard. Rose was injured, and Popovich brought up this veteran. There is no difference in style between the two. They are both hard-working blue-collars.

During the game, Xiao Tian was still with the little general, but the little general reacted very quickly. Seeing that Xiao Tian was going to stick to him, he passed the ball to Monty Williams without thinking.

Monty Williams faced Stackhouse and chose to shoot directly. Stackhouse seemed to be very active today. He jumped up from the ground like a spring and just blocked the ball. This is a rare Stackhouse defense this season.

Xiao Tian and the other side high-fived Monty Williams, but fortunately the Spurs had the ball, but the attack time was less than 3 seconds, so the ball was sent out, and the little general shot directly. With a sound from Duang, the ball bounced directly from the basket to the back of the basket. Popovich just clapped his hands on the court, calling on the players to do a good job of defending.

Xiao Tian controlled the ball, it was really whistling, and the little general Johnson was very serious. When Xiao Tian came to the frontcourt, Chuck Posen teamed up with him to double-team Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian was also unambiguous, and directly passed the ball to Wu Sheng.

The two consecutive passes showed the smoothness of the Grizzlies' offense. Wu Sheng's handling made Popovich not think that it might not be so easy for Paul Westphal to bring the opponent up.

The offense of the Spurs is very uncomfortable. As a veteran, Monty Williams really has no advantage against Jordan's successor, so he can only bring McGrady up.

McGrady and Jordan's successor faced each other. Although McGrady was not dominant in size, McGrady used two consecutive jump shots to tell Stackhouse that he didn't mess with him.

Tracy McGrady is the future core of the Spurs. Of course, there is nothing wrong with him playing like this, but Stackhouse can only be regarded as a third core in the Grizzlies. Is it true that he regards himself as the boss?
Stackhouse failed to score twice in a row, and the Spurs pulled the score back in an instant, and Paul Westphal called a timeout.

"Jerry, you have to pay attention to passing the ball, don't be obsessed with singles. We are a unit, and individuals cannot defeat the whole." If it was in Philadelphia before, the head coach beeped like this, Stackhouse would have gone hard, but this is in the Grizzlies and Vancouver. No one is used to himself in this place.

So Stackhouse chose to accept, but he was still very conflicted. Although the Grizzlies had a good atmosphere, he was only a third core here. Maybe after this season, he should leave. Anyway, with the statistics of this season, there is no problem with a decent contract. If he wanted to leave, the Grizzlies would not be able to force him to stay.

Stackhouse and Finley have the same thoughts, that is, to perform well in the playoffs. When the summer transfer market opens, it will definitely be a favorite. The Grizzlies this season will definitely make the playoffs. After all, they are not a waste city.

After calling the timeout and returning, Stackhouse really calmed down a lot. Instead of continuing to play singles with Tracy McGrady, he started to cooperate with his teammates. The Spurs still relied on one or two players to lead the team forward. This style of play was not the team-type Spurs known in the previous life, because Duncan, the soul core of this team, was already in the Grizzlies at this time, so whether the Spurs could win five championships like in the previous life is a question mark.

The Admiral scored 10 points in the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 5 points at home, McGrady also scored 6 points, Xiao Tian scored 2 points and 5 assists for the Grizzlies, Duncan 8 points, Stackhouse 6 points, and Wu Sheng 3 points.Basically, there are points accounted for.

The dialogue between the substitutes made Popovich feel the most tangled, because the Grizzlies' substitute was too strong, and he brought McGrady up, which meant that he could not continue to use this guy, but fortunately, there were Sean Elliott and others on the Spurs' bench. Running back and forth with teammates is really harmonious.

This guy is like this, he will attack if you give the ball, and watch if you don’t give the ball. As for defense and cover, these things are not in his basketball philosophy at all.
