The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 346 40 points and 20 assists

The biggest difference between Xiao Tian and traditional point guards is the combination of sudden shots. The player who does this best is Larry Bird.In this season, Xiao Tian has brought the characteristics of the combination of sudden shots to the extreme. His breakthrough is faster than that of Iverson, but you have to figure out how tall Iverson is and how tall he is. This is really unscientific.

Payton was made very uncomfortable by Xiao Tian and couldn't break through, so he could only shoot, but he didn't know how to lean back. If he shot backwards, the success rate might be a little higher.

Xiao Tian's defensive strategy made Payton extremely uncomfortable. At the end of the half, even though Payton scored 20 points, his shooting percentage was an embarrassing 16 of 6. Although it looked good, it was still a bit far behind Xiao Tian's 10 of 9.

Xiao Tian scored 23 points and 12 assists in the first half, while Payton scored 20 points but only had 3 assists. He is not Xiao Tian. He has no way to combine assists and scoring at the same time.

The Supersonics trailed by 8 points at home at halftime. Although not many, Supersonics fans felt the fear of being dominated by the Grizzlies. There was no team in the Northwest Division who did not hate the Grizzlies, especially the Jazz, Huskies, and Supersonics. The Trail Blazers and Nuggets were slightly better, but for the other three teams, the Grizzlies really suffered.

Payton played very hard. In addition to him scoring in double figures for the Supersonics, the other person who scored in double figures was the German Schramf. However, the contract of the German expired, but the Supersonics did not want to renew the contract with the opponent because the team wanted to train Ke Laiyang because the opponent was younger and cheaper.

No one communicated in the lounge. Everyone was just closing their eyes and resting their minds, or they were asking the masseur to give them a massage. The Grizzlies had too many players. They had 2 more players than the Sonics in the first half. This will definitely pave the way for the second half of the game. Cummings fought the old owner, but the poor man's version of Duncan still didn't have much chance to play.

The Grizzlies' rookies, in addition to the two lottery picks Carter and Jamison, Harprin and Birdman also showed good potential, and the gap between these two picks is not usually big compared to their own. The Grizzlies' draft vision in recent years is really poisonous.

In the second half of the game, the Grizzlies' defensive strategy remained unchanged. Although Wen Baker has not become the alcoholic of later generations, because he has no money to drink now, he fell down because he signed the big contract. The All-Star Game is out of the question, but Wen Baker doesn't dare to guarantee how well he will perform in the playoffs. Anyway, the facial paralyzed man in front of him can't do it by himself.

Wen Baker recovered a bit in the third quarter and scored 5 points in a row, one of which was 2+1. Just when the Sonics fans in the audience thought that the home team wanted momentum, Xiao Tian scored two consecutive desperate three-pointers from the outside, and once again pushed the Sonics to the bottom. Xiao Tian scored 30 points and 15 assists at the end of the three quarters.

And the Grizzlies have already led by 10 points. Not only did the Supersonics not close the score, but they widened the score. This made the home fans very dissatisfied. Last season was the best time for the Supersonics. As a result, they faced the Jazz without Hornacek in the Western Conference Finals. They were actually knocked out after seven games.

This guy George Karl still has the last year of his contract. Whether to continue to renew his contract with the opponent is particularly critical this season. If the Supersonics still can't make it out of the West this season, then it is inevitable that he will be fired.

George Karl, the fat man, was very worried, but he had nothing to do except worrying about himself. The game seemed out of his control, and this kind of on-the-spot command was what he was least good at. The only way now was to fuck Payton to death.

"Gary, we can only rely on you in this game, you have to persevere." Gary Payton has scored 28 points in three quarters, 30 points are within easy reach, but he played very hard, Xiao Tian's defense is too impenetrable, compared to his own glove, the opponent's defense is simply at the level of a firewall, it is difficult for you to find any flaws on one side.

Paralyzed dead fat paper, I am a human, not a machine, I need to rest, I played for 34 minutes in the third quarter, only rested for 2 minutes, and now I have to play by myself in the fourth quarter, do you want to exhaust me to death, and then inherit my legacy?
Payton didn't speak, because he knew that George Karl was helpless. It wasn't that he was rigid in employing people, but that the Supersonics had no one available. Dale Ellis' performance this season was completely different from last season, and the opponent was a lot fatter than last season. There was no need to ask what he did in the summer.

Payton came on the court, facing Wu Sheng, he played very easily, but Wu Sheng is not afraid of fouls at all, and he will die with you, which makes Payton physically and mentally exhausted. Yes, under the guidance of Elvin Hayes this season, Birdman needs to strengthen his offense, but his defense and blocking shots are really easy.

Nima, the Grizzlies' substitutes are blocked, and they still want a maximum salary. Wally Walker can only sneer in the audience. Fortunately, he didn't choose to renew his contract with the other party in advance this year, otherwise he would really be at a loss.

Payton scored 40 points in this game, but the depth of the Sonics' lineup was not enough. Although Xiao Tian didn't score 40 points, he scored 32 points and 20 assists, leading the Grizzlies to a full retreat in the away game. Payton had 8 assists in the game, 12 assists less than Xiao Tian, ​​and 8 more points, which is really useless.
