Chapter 503 - Talent but No System
After the eclipse got the ball, he didn't choose to pass, and Darrell Arthur didn't pounce, so he took the ball straight through the half. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he got to the front, he passed the ball to Bibi, who handed it back to Embarrassment.
After breaking through, he chose to step back and hit the first shot after the opening.
Ruan Erniu squeezed together with Gasol Jr. on the inside, but neither of them got anything in the end.
Erniu has a high opinion of the Spanish center, at least his strength is good, and the defensive end is not a colander, maybe there will be a second All-Star player in the Gasol family in the future.
On the other hand, Gasol Jr. wants to find a sense of presence in front of Erniu.
Ruan Erniu is actually a rookie with him, although he is only a year late in the NBA, but the status of the two is very different.
Compared to his decathlon brother, little Gasol is more like a bad boy who is not very obedient in the eyes of adults, his heart is very complicated, on the one hand, he admires his eldest brother, on the other hand, he also has a desire to surpass his brother in his heart.
For Ruan Erniu, a Celestial Empire who defeated Pau Gasol in the NBA Finals and the Olympics respectively, Mark Gasol is bent on defeating his opponent in the confrontation.
On the Grizzlies offensive end, Gasol Jr. beckoned for the ball, but it was clear that the Grizzlies were not yet his turn to attack.
Conley passed the ball to Rudy Gay, who has been a real building for the Grizzlies since last season, after the Grizzlies traded for Gasol.
However, Gay's performance this season has not been convincing, his stats have deteriorated from 20.1+6.2+2.0 last season to 18.9+5.5+1.7 this season, the number of shots has decreased from 16.7 last season to 16.0, and the playing time has increased from 37.0 minutes to 37.3 minutes.
From the analysis alone, his efficiency has decreased slightly, which is certainly due to the addition of new teammate OJ Mayo, but his own inaction is also obvious.
The fact that he couldn't suppress OJ Mayo, who had just joined the league, in a one-on-one competition only proves that Guy doesn't have the heart to become a superstar.
No matter how hard he tries, such a player is not suitable to be the boss of the team.
On the other hand, players like James and Ruan Erniu actually work hard. But aside from talent, it's their inherent ambition that really determines whether they can become superstars.
Once the opportunity is given to guys like James and Ruan Erniu, they will not hesitate to plunder the power and control the team, and Guy is much worse in this regard.
Guy shoots high and misses!
Ruan Erniu and Gasol Jr. under the basket immediately started hand-to-hand combat, and in the end, Ruan Erniu was superior and successfully judged the landing point of the rebound, squeezing Gasol Jr. to win the backcourt rebound.
"RUN!" Ruan Erniu shouted, but the ball was not passed, he started the "Wild Bull Sprint" and went directly to the opponent's half.
The toilet gentleman in the White House is not wrong at all, the Hawks can't change this problem, and they like to let the center dribble and launch a fast attack when they have nothing to do!
But the Grizzlies really can't keep up!
5 to 3 in the frontcourt, Gasol Jr. and Arthur both pulled behind, Gasol Jr., a 7-foot center, did not rush back, and Arthur, a 6-foot-9 inch power forward, can't keep up with the lunar eclipse.
Ruan Erniu would not let go of this opportunity, and the flank distributed the ball to the lunar eclipse inserted in the middle, and the lunar eclipse jumped high, but did not use his signature slam dunk, but just put the ball into the basket with a slightly bland one-handed dunk.
Even so, J-Smoove, who returned from injury, was cheered by the fans at the scene, and the popularity of the super dunk is not too bad, not to mention that the Hawks won the championship last year, and the impact and blocking of the lunar eclipse are also indispensable for the team.
"You can fly a little higher!" Ruan Erniu slapped his hand at the retreating lunar eclipse and encouraged.
On the Grizzlies offensive end, Mike Conley once again passed the ball to Guy, who in turn passed the ball to O.J. Mayo.
Mayo was very famous in high school, and if it weren't for the NBA changing the rules, he would definitely join the league after graduating from high school like James.
In fact, he once outperformed LeBron James in high school, and so far, Mayo's rookie season has been second only to Chicago's No. 1 Derrick Rose, far ahead of Michael Beasley, who couldn't find a place in Miami.
Mayo held the ball in the corner position, trying to eat the embarrassment alone, and with a tentative step, he wanted to get rid of the embarrassment.
But it's a pity that in terms of offensive skills, Embarrassing Sen is the top tier in the league, and OJ Mayo's level really can't get rid of Embarrassing Forest.
"Bang!"
In desperation, Mayo still forced his shot, and the result was a smooth hit, and Erniu once again leaned on Gasol Jr. to win the backcourt rebound.
Mark Gasol looks strong, but in terms of rebounding smell, at least two bulls behind Paul Gasol.
Ruan Erniu made a long pass directly to the frontcourt, and Bibi received the basketball smoothly, but Conley's return speed was fast enough, and the Hawks' fast attack did not succeed.
Ruan Erniu ran forward with Gasol while observing the situation on the field.
Gasol Jr. retreated all the way to the penalty area, but felt that there was something missing, which was not good!
It's late!
Ruan Erniu calmly shot in the top arc area and hit!
In these two rounds, the Hawks have actually almost figured out the Grizzlies' routine, and if they are at this level, then they have to drink at Philips Arena.
If the young Grizzlies can score 8 points on the defensive end, they can't even score 4 points on the offensive end.
These guys are basically fighting on their own, but they haven't established a reliable main point of attack, and it is completely Guy and Mayo who share the ball equally.
Wilkins, who was in the commentary seat, said directly to Bob Rasborne next to him: "It's another game without suspense, shouldn't we talk to the audience about the next game schedule?"
"Wouldn't that be too disrespectful to the opponent?" Wilkins thought Lasbourne would change the subject and continue to talk about the game, but he didn't expect him to go on a serious note: "Next, the Hawks will play the Knicks at home, and then there will be back-to-back road trips to the West." ”
Wilkins: "......"
The game continues.
With a few blind games like the Grizzlies, and the lack of superstars who decide the direction of the game, it is strange that they can get good results.
Ruan Erniu said to Gasol Jr. on the defensive end: "Save your energy! Unless you grab the offensive rebound yourself, it will be difficult for the ball to reach you." ”
Ruan Erniu was right, in the entire first quarter, Mark Gasol only got a total of two shots, one was when he picked up a frontcourt rebound based on his height, and the other was when he received the transfer ball in the high post and shot his only goal of the quarter when he was unguarded.
Fortunately, the Hawks' performance in the first quarter of the game was also quite average, and the shooting rates of Ruan Erniu and Yu Sen were quite good, but the other players had not yet found their touch.
However, the Grizzlies played a good counterattack with the help of substitute Kyle Lowry, especially Darrell Arthur with the help of Lowry's pass, facing Zaza Pachuria's change of defense, and actually won free throws on the inside in a row.
At 24:30, the Grizzlies recovered some points in the final two minutes, and the Hawks ended the first quarter with a six-point advantage.
