Chapter Seventy-Five: The Underrated Mike Conley

In their final game in November, the Clippers faced the Memphis Grizzlies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This team Qin Zheng is no stranger, they only played once half a month ago, and that time they won.

This time, Qin Zheng felt that it was no exception.

And the Clippers also have good news, that is, Eric Gordon has recovered from injury, but he did not bring it to the away game, but this time at home, Gordon can play.

This is indeed good news for the Clippers.

Despite being a rookie last year, Gordon has played very well, especially on the outside.

As a rookie of the Clippers last year, Clippers fans have high hopes for him, although the great Qin Zheng has come this year, but the Clippers still miss the Lakers of the year, they have O'Neal and Kobe, so many Clippers fans are also fantasizing that they will also have a combination of Qin Zheng and Gordon.

Gordon was able to score 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in his first season, with a 46% shooting rate, which is much better than Kobe Bryant in the first year, even Kobe Bryant in the second year is not comparable, and Gordon is still a player who is willing to defend, which is very rare for the Clippers.

Local media in Los Angeles commented on Eric Gordon as a tough, intelligent player who has always been able to perform consistently, with excellent shooting and scoring ability, the same tenacity of personality and a tough defensive performance, he can break through and make fouls or shoots, although the pass is average, but the defense is willing and aggressive.

So Clippers fans believe that Gordon could be a great player like Kobe, but they are all wrong, and an injury-prone player can't be great.

But what does this mean for Qin Zheng? Gordon wasn't in his plan in the first place, so who made Gordon too vulnerable to injury?

He is a boss in the future, not a fan, and if he wants to make the team competitive, he has to eliminate two players every year.

People come and go, this is the normal state of the NBA, and it is not normal for a player to be in a team all his life.

After all, there aren't that many superstars.

The Grizzlies have only eight players coming to Los Angeles, and the rest of the players are either injured or have a cold.

Don't look at the cold is very common, you can solve it by taking medicine or using a local method, but it is very terrible for athletes, almost you can't take medicine, you can only rely on your own resistance to solve it, so in China, the general cold and fever can be cured for two or three days, but for athletes, three or five days may not be able to be completely good.

What's more, whites and blacks in Europe and the United States have lower resistance to influenza, and from this point of view, the yellow race still has an advantage!

In the face of eight people, the Clippers can't win anymore, and even if they run, they can tire these main players down, just like the other day against the Nuggets.

"In this game, we still have to stick to the inside twin tower tactics, with Qin as the team's organizer, we must speed up the team's operation, we must run, and give me half-court man-to-man defense, the Grizzlies have fewer players, as long as we can tie the score with the Grizzlies in the first three quarters, we can win in the fourth quarter." Dunleavy boosts morale in the locker room.

In fact, there is nothing to say, for letting Qin Zheng be the tactical core of the team, after these fifteen games, most of the players have accepted it willingly, although there are still two players who are not very reluctant, but they have no obvious resistance on the field, and they are still very cooperative with Qin Zheng.

That's why Qin Zhengcai won't care so much, as long as you play well for me on the court, even if we don't say a word off the court.

Although Qin Zheng thought so, he still felt in his heart that such a player should be traded as soon as possible, Lao Tzu doesn't want to look at your stinky face every day.

In this game, the starters arranged by the Clippers are Qin Zheng, Carman, Gordon, Elsoton and Davis, as for Butler, he still sits honestly on the bench.

The Grizzlies' starters on this side are Gasol Jr., Randolph, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley, and the only players on the bench are the future White Monsters Griffin, Sam Young and Jamal Jensley.

Such a half-crippled lineup is a good opportunity for the Clippers.

As for whether it is honorable to win against a half-crippled team, it is not a matter for the Clippers, it is good to win.

The Clippers have just come up from the bottom, and they haven't mixed up like an aristocratic team, not only to win but also to play beautifully.

So from the very beginning of the game, the Clippers stepped up their offensive toughness and defensive intensity.

It's like playing this game like a playoff game.

From half-time, Davis began to wrap around Mike Conley.

Although Mike Conley got the biggest contract in NBA history in the future, although Mike Conley is a seriously underrated playmaker, but for physical confrontation, Mike Conley is far worse than Davis.

So Davis gave Mike Conley a very tough game.

In order to play basketball well and want to win the championship, Davis also thought clearly, he is 30 years old, and it is impossible to become the core of the Clippers, let alone him, even if it is Carman, Gordon is impossible.

Qin Zheng can bring value to Sterling both in terms of skills and business, and although Davis is brainless when he plays, he is not stupid.

Although it is difficult to change your playing habits for a while, it is still possible to change your brain-dead three-point wave shooting a little.

Do a good dribble across the half court, pass the basketball to Qin Zheng, and then wait for Qin Zheng to pass the ball outside the three-point line, and then break through the mid-range shot.

This is not a very difficult job for Davis.

Davis is only 30 years old, but he's already feeling the sadness that other All-Stars can feel in their 30s.

Sadness is sadness, but for Mike Conley's defense, Davis didn't let up at all.

But despite Davis' hard defense, Mike Conley was able to teleport the basketball to the Grizzlies' players who needed it.

In the past, Qin Zheng always scolded Mike Conley, thinking that he didn't deserve such a big contract.

Although there are many brain-dead managers in the NBA, Mike Conley is worth at least 20 million.

Mike Conley is an extraordinarily athletic and pass-first playmaker, a playmaker who is invaluable in the eyes of teams that have so many scorers but have never been able to improve.

Conley is also a left-handed point guard, clear-headed, penetrating, excellent at splitting, daring to hit key shots, and is very accurate about the timing of offense or passing. While Mike Conley usually prioritizes passing, he never disappoints you when it's time for him to score.

So in the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies didn't score much points by the Clippers, and only ended the first quarter with a 3-point deficit of 21:24.
