Chapter 174: Remembering the Demi-Human Demigod Who Is About to Die
The two players who jumped were Sallinger and Ryan Hollins, who had been in the league for more than 10 years and was past his prime.
The Grizzlies signed him on a base-salary contract this season to allow him to strengthen the interior depth of the Grizzlies' bench, but now they have to put him in the starting position, because Grizzlies head coach David Fitzdale is no longer available, and three of the four players who can play center inside have been injured, and the Grizzlies are now full of injuries.
Ryan Hollins is 2.13 meters tall and weighs only 104 kilograms, averaging 11.8 points per game in his career, with 3.7 points and 2.2 rebounds. With such data, he really doesn't deserve to be a starting center.
This was demonstrated by the jump ball with Sallinger, who was spotted on Thomas by Sallinger and the game officially began.
The Celtics' first attack was handed over to Shangguan Yulai. But as a fringe player, even untouchable in the NBA, and now suddenly promoted to the team's starter, Jermichael Green played hard, and although he was blocked by Crowder, he still rushed out.
Shangguan Yu received the ball and shot, but was still interfered by him, and the ball went out of the basket.
Tony Allen grabbed the rebound, drove himself to half court, and then chose himself to hit a 14-foot jumper.
The Celtics were slow to get into the groove today, but it was the Grizzlies, who were all soldiers, who seized the opportunity to play a 6-0 run.
Sallinger on the inside and the players on the outside didn't find their form, and in the end it was Thomas who broke through to the blue to score two points for the Celtics.
Shangguan Yu also found his form, and his second three-point shot was always a hit.
Although Jermichael Green is very positive, he is not as good as Shangguan Yu, and he is not as good at running as Shangguan Yu. It's all about strength that can't be used at all, and at the defensive end, he doesn't have too many offensive means at all, and he wants to hit Guan Yu with strength. But Shangguan Yu, who was instructed by Thomas, faced with these people who were bigger than himself, he was not at all vain when defending.
When he was beaten hard, Shangguan Yu didn't let him, his left hand and elbow were in front, and his right hand was supported behind his chest.
Unless it is completely crushed, there is no way to forcibly push Shangguan Yu away, and sometimes Shangguan Yu will deliberately release it to steal and block him.
But the two sides played anxiously in the first quarter, and the Celtics had a worse hand, instead trailing the Grizzlies by two points after the first quarter.
Although the Grizzlies' offense is not very good, except for guard Chalmers, everyone else who starts is a defensive giant.
Tony Allen's defensive ability is unquestionable, and the other one is also a little famous in the league.
He's Matt Barnes!
With a height of two meters and one and a weight of 102 attacks, he looks a little thin, but his style of play is very hard.
In 2002, he was selected by the Clippers to enter the league with the 17th pick in the second round, and has played for many teams such as the Clippers, Kings, Knicks, 76ers, Warriors, Suns, Magic, Lakers and Grizzlies.
A "jack-of-all-trades" on the court, Barnes is averaging 10 points per game, 5.5 rebounds, 1.03 steals and 0.75 blocks per game in his career.
Barnes has been in the league for so long, and people won't care what kind of stats he has, but will remember his fiery temper and tough defense.
Before the start of last year's season, he became popular again, also because of his temper, which is also known as the master who does not agree with him. Because Derek Fisher was dating his ex-wife, Gloria Govan, Barnes drove 95 miles to Govan's backyard and beat Fisher.
Although there is not much confirmation of the matter, according to Barnes's temper, such a thing can be done.
With such a defensive toughness, the Grizzlies' defense will not be too bad, but on the offensive end, it must still be opened to have a chance to win.
With all the main players injured, the Grizzlies have been on a decent record lately, losing just two of their 10 games before the Celtics and still have playoff hopes. The reason why he was able to win so many games is due to the team's 39-year-old veteran Vince Carter.
In the last ten games, he averaged 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 28 minutes per game.
Although he is one of the oldest players in the league, Carter, a former demigod and a UFO, still occasionally chats about juvenile madness and makes one or two shocking dunks.
Vince Carter, like his cousin Maddie, is a player with a lot of pathos.
If Maddie hadn't left, maybe the two would have been able to touch the championship, but there is no if in life. Although it does not have the magic of Medina's "35.13 seconds", Carter's career also has a glorious resume.
Rookie of the Year in 1999, winner of the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, 8-time All-Star, and 2000 Sydney Olympics men's basketball champion
Before 2002, Carter was synonymous with "dunking", and the fans in the stadium would stand up just as long as they saw him break the ball.
The man who once played the "death dunk" was forced to become a projection-oriented player due to injury, but his scoring ability is unquestionable, averaging 27.5 points per game at his peak.
Although he is now old, Vince Carter is in very good shape today.
At 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the second quarter of the game, he controlled the ball on the outside, and suddenly started, killed the inside, burst into the air, faced Sallinger's defense, and completed a shocking slam dunk!
Although it is no longer as brave as it used to be, such dunks are becoming less and less watched, and the fans at the scene all stood up and applauded.
At the beginning of the slam dunk contest, the crotch changed hands and dunked by the juniors, which is still evocative.
Later, during the Nets period, those aerial relay dunks with Kidd are still talked about
This ball!
Remembering the demigod who is about to die!
Shangguan Yu, who was off the field, also gave him the warmest applause, but when he returned to the court, Shangguan Yu would not be soft.
hit two shots in a row to tie the score, but his teammates were not in good shape today.
At halftime, the Celtics were still three points behind.
At halftime, the Celtics finished at halftime, Shangguan Yu got 10 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, and there was still a chance for a double-double.
Vince Carter finished with eight points and three rebounds on 3-of-4 shooting and 2-of-3 three-pointers in the half, making him the Grizzlies' most scorer in a half.
After not getting the task for a long time, Shangguan Yu had some expectations, but he didn't wait. After the start of the game, the Celtic starters, after half-time, seemed to have found their form. It was Thomas who took the lead again, rushing to the inside line again and again to cause killing, and the others gradually regained their touch, and Shangguan Yu no longer chose to attack, but incarnated as an organizer.
Using what he learned in the passing training room and frequently giving assists to his teammates, the Celtics gradually took the initiative on the court. (To be continued.) )
