Chapter 149: Internal Disintegration

People say Rudy Gay is like Maddie because of his immeasurable talent and all-around skills. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Perfect small forward body, trapeze-level bounce, big pace, long arm span, smooth technical movements. That's why Guy was able to seize the opportunity to become the leader of the team after Pau Gasol's departure.

But it's not just because of the previous reasons that he's like Maddie. If it's just because of that, then the people like Maddie in this alliance are grabbing a lot of them.

The reason why Rudy Gay is like Maddie is because this guy is also lazy, and from time to time he seems to be unmotivated and not focused enough on the court, which is also an important reason why Gay fell to eighth in the draft that year.

At halftime, Gay scored just seven points, a statistic that even the Thunder's Seforrosa couldn't match, let alone Westbrook and Angel.

The Thunder lacked Durant, and instead Anjie did a good job of completing the task of a core and a leader. Rudy Gay, the team's well-deserved number one attacker, failed to take his responsibility in the first half.

"Rudy! You have to be more aggressive! Do you want me to buy you a pair of sports glasses right now!" There is no doubt that no matter which team's offensive strength is like this, it is impossible to please the manager, and Hollins also expressed his displeasure with Guy for his short-sightedness and reluctance to wear glasses.

Guy didn't say anything, but his fists clenched tighter than before!

After O.J. Mayo landed in Memphis this year, the Grizzlies' focus seemed to have fallen on the young guard. Rudy Gay's own shots have been repeatedly compressed, which is why Gay's form has been up and down.

Regardless of Guy's usual attitude, now even the head coach is starting to question him, and if he doesn't produce some results in the second half, he deserves to be robbed of his position by Mayo.

Now it's not for anyone, it's for himself, and he has to fight harder.

The second half was a quick start and Rudy Gay was much more active than the first, with Saab Seferosa struggling not to be left behind.

But when Guy started working hard, what greeted him?

"O.J. Mayo motioned for his teammates to pull away, and he was going to go head-to-head with Westbrook!" Mike Brin was incredulous to see a rookie player instruct his teammates to pull away.

No matter how bad the Grizzlies are, there is also a Rudy Gay. It's good now, Mayo didn't even pay attention to Guy.

"Damn, idiot!" Guy simply stood there in a fit of rage, he hadn't even had a chance to touch the ball after running for so long, how could he play?

"Mayo has been stopped by Westbrook, he should have passed the ball! No, the young man couldn't find a chance to pass the ball, he forced a shot. ”

Mayo's frequent singles have made his teammates' runs tired, and if the rest of the Grizzlies are more aggressive, Mayo still has a chance to pass the ball. But alas, Mayo's unreasonable singles have worn out the passion of his teammates.

"!" Rudy Gay cursed in a low voice as he watched Angel grab the backcourt rebound again. He and Mayo are both players who need to hold the ball and execute the singles, so it is true that such two people start at the same time, and it is really not very effective.

On the offensive end, Anjie started playing again, and when Milicic came off the court to rest, there was only Gasol Jr. and Anjie on the inside, Anjie's attack was still very effective.

After using a feint hook to turn around, Anjie deftly wiped Gasol Jr. and easily picked up the basket to add two more points.

Gasol Jr. reluctantly picked up the basketball on the ground, and when he turned around on the baseline and was about to serve the baseline, the scene in front of him made Gasol Jr. suddenly overwhelmed.

"What's going on? There are three Grizzlies waiting to catch the ball!"

Generally speaking, when serving the baseline ball, only the point guard will pick up the ball in the backcourt, and some cautious teams will at most ask the scoring guard to stay in the backcourt in case of emergency.

However, the Grizzlies now have three players asking for the ball from Gasol Jr., and in addition to Mike Conley and O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay is also standing in front of Gasol Jr. without giving in.

"I'll do it!" Rudy Gay spoke to the two rookie guards, Mayo and Conley, who quickly ran to the frontcourt, but Mayo seemed a little unconvinced, but as a rookie, he didn't have much to say, so he had to compromise.

Gasol Jr. sent the ball in and Rudy Gay got the ball in hand. It also means that it's almost impossible for the rest of the Grizzlies to touch the basketball again.

Why the Grizzlies still have a sparse lineup when the lineup is not bad, here's why!

The Thunder also have three rookies with amazing talents, but first of all, all three of them have better personalities, and Westbrook, who has the strongest desire to attack, will not ignore Durant and Anjie himself like O.J. Mayo.

Secondly, Jeff Van Gundy's distribution of the Thunder's three less balls is relatively balanced, so the three of them did not have a ball dispute.

The difference between the two teams is not just reflected in the performance on the pitch.

I have to admit that once Rudy Guy gets serious, he definitely can't be stopped by just Seflorosa.

"Guy was aggressive in the second half, and this is the third time he's scored on Severosa's head in the quarter!" Sephorosa has tried his best in the face of a huge height disparity, but unfortunately he can't compete with Rudy Gay.

Although Rudy Gay is officially 2.03 meters tall, it is clear to the naked eye that he is more than just two centimetres taller than Sephorosa.

While Rudy Guy started to attack with the ball, O.J. Mayo was not idle, and he shot whenever he could, as if he was deliberately angry with Guy. As you can see, Mayo's shooting percentage was extremely low, and he even failed to take advantage of the free throw opportunity once, missing both free throws.

Instead of helping the team, Rudy Gay's sudden power disrupted the Grizzlies' rhythm. Grizzlies managers now have to face a serious problem, and that is Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo, who to choose to stay and who to leave. Because the problem of these two people not being able to coexist has been vividly expressed.

The Grizzlies are in chaos, but the Thunder are still consolidating their advantage. Under Anjie's defense, Gasol Jr. did not score a goal, and it was rare to get a free throw opportunity, but he also missed two free throws with Mayo. 0 points and 3 rebounds, this is all the statistics of Gasol Jr. in the third quarter, which also proves why Anjie is the starter of the first-year team, while Gasol Jr. can only be a substitute.

77-69, at the end of the third quarter, the difference in points did not seem to be large, but the situation on the court was already difficult for the Grizzlies to turn around.

Hollins has given Mayo and Gay equal opportunities this season to see who can better serve as the core. Why is this arrangement? It's because he has a premonition that these two guys won't be compatible with each other! Mayo was used to the role of the boss before entering the NBA, and it was impossible for him to accept the position of the second guy. And Rudy Gay has been dominating the Grizzlies for several years, and he can't easily hand over the position of boss.

"It's just an eight-point gap! Push harder! Let Guy and Mayo do more with the ball!" "What can Hollins do in the face of these two guys? Let one of Mayo or Guy sit on the bench? Then he must not be able to do it for long as a head coach.

On the contrary, Jeff Van Gundy has a much easier task now. The Grizzlies have begun to disintegrate themselves from within, and as long as Angel and Westbrook don't get along, the win is a no-brainer.

"Ann! Solid defense, Russell has the ball on the offensive end, but I need you to make smart decisions!" Westbrook is just as aggressive, but he's still under Jeff van Gundy's control.

"One, two, three, Thunder! Let's go, let's play!" At the end of the intermission, there was a neat cheering sound from the Thunder team, and the atmosphere of the Grizzlies' side was completely different from the Thunder team.

In the fourth quarter, Rudy Guy broke out in full swing, how to shoot, and in the face of a strong performance of Guy, O.J. Mayo also had to give up the basketball.

No one on the Thunder's side scored like crazy, because all the players who came on the court got a chance to shoot.

"Kostic is a really practical tactical choice when Anjie is trapped! Anjie passes again! Kostic's mid-range shot, is it short? ”

"Sephorosa made a three-pointer and it didn't go in. He grabbed another frontcourt rebound, and if I want to say the best rookie in the West in February, it must be Anjie! Anjie is strong under the basket! Beautiful, another three-point opportunity!"

"Westbrook took advantage of Anjie's pick-and-roll to break through easily, and he got the ball into the hands of Kyle Weaver, who took a shot, Mike Conley interfered with his shot, and oh!

The Thunder blossomed more, and Van Gundy's "I need you to make smart choices" to Westbrook clearly played a role. He is sharp and aggressive and always creates opportunities for his team-mates.

And with the Grizzlies dominating almost all of the ball with Gay, the changes on the offensive end are a little monotonous.

Guy did play well in this quarter, shooting 6-of-7 and scoring 13 points in a single quarter. But apart from him, Mike Conley's four points were the Grizzlies' second-highest fourth-quarter score.

Rudy Gay is not Kobe Bryant and James yet, and if he wants to take over the game on his own, Gay is not up to that level.

O.J. Mayo rushed to shoot before the clock ran out, and Angel jumped high to grab 11 rebounds of the game to end the Thunder's back-to-back road trips.

"99-89, the Grizzlies planned to take advantage of Durant's injury to take advantage of the opportunity to win the Thunder, but they swallowed a seven-game losing streak under the strong obstruction of An Jie!"

The camera deliberately showed Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo, and even Anjie and Gasol Jr. shook hands cordially after the game, but Gay and Mayo, the two teammates, ignored each other, and both of them were very indifferent.

"Today's best player, there is no doubt about Angel!Ann scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks today, audience friends, Ann has proven that he is a guy who can be the core! The league hastened to award him the Rookie of the Month and Player of the Week awards!" Mike Brin finished speaking, and ESPN immediately released the highlights of this game An Jie.

"Thunder New Nuclear", countless media outlets have printed Anjie's new title on their newspapers. Durant was injured, and An Jie, who was in danger, had to carry the burden, and it turned out that this Eastern Tower did a good job.

Defeating the Grizzlies would mean the end of the Thunder's February schedule. With only a month and a half to go before the final game of the regular season, Anjie's performance has undoubtedly laid a good foundation for the Thunder in the next month and a half.

An Jie happily hugged his teammates one by one, enjoying the bursts of boos coming from the United Express Arena. Memphis has a lot of stars tonight, but the brightest one is undoubtedly from the East! )
