"Mark, who do you think will win this game?" Behind the ESPN broadcast station, two big men sat together and kept talking, and their voices were transmitted through the headsets.

"Of course it's the Grizzlies, do you think the Clippers' little broken boat can win?" Mark replied unconcernedly.

"Mark, I think the Clippers can win?" The other big tall guy next to him had a different opinion.

"Bill. Is it because you're a center that you choose the Clippers, and don't forget that the Grizzlies also have a big center. Mark retorted.

"I'm not going to discuss it with you, you'll know when you've watched the game." Bill said with a mysterious expression, but the unfounded words could not be believed at all.

The duo is ESPN's guest commentators, Bill Wharton and Mark Jackson. The match was also broadcast by ESPN.

As for TNT's most famous combination of Barkley and Kenny Smith, they went to explain the Lakers who made them the defending champions.

Bill Wharton, as a center, of course, is not the reason why he supports Qin Zheng, the real reason is that he has watched and watched Qin Zheng's games in college more than once, and he is convinced that the Grizzlies' interior line is not Qin Zheng's opponent.

Randolph is too short to be a big forward, the rookie Griffin is also a big forward, and Gasol Jr. is a center, but the turn is slow, the lateral movement is slow, and his technique is even worse.

But these Bill Wharton didn't say anything to Mark Jackson.

Of course, Mark Jackson's support for the Grizzlies is not for nothing, and the Clippers don't have a scorer other than Byron Davis and Carman, and even if you defend well, it's not the end of the game if you can't score.

On the other hand, on the Grizzlies' side, there is Randolph who averages 20+10 per game, and he will be selected as an All-Star bench this year, averaging 21 points and 12 rebounds per game, with a shooting rate of 49%, which is not comparable to Camby's big brush, and there is also Gasol Jr. as a center on the inside, who can also contribute 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, and the shooting rate is as high as 58%, and there are OJ Mayo and Rudy Guy, two very good swing people, and the point guard is Mike Conley, who can also provide 12 points and 6 assists per game.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng doubted that there were 6 Grizzlies who could score double-doubles, so why didn't they make the playoffs? The answer is that the defense is not good, and with the same average of 83 shots per game, the opponent has a 2% higher shooting percentage than the Grizzlies, which is fatal.

Standing in the midfield, Qin Zheng was ready to jump the ball, since he showed his strength in the team's training match, Dunleavy immediately arranged Qin Zheng into the main team, and played the twin towers with Carman, don't look at Qin Zheng has two meters and two zeros, but Dunleavy lacks the position of arranging him to play the position of power forward, who let Qin Zheng's can be pulled out and shot at 180 degrees within the three-point line!

Standing in the midfield, Qin Zheng glanced at Gasol Jr. opposite, thinking about how to deal with him for a while.

Qin Zheng didn't believe that Grizzlies coach Hollins would let Randolph defend him, and if that did, Qin Zheng could be sure that he would be able to shoot flowers on Randolph's head.

As the ball in the referee's hand was thrown up, Qin Zheng won the first professional basketball jump ball in his life faster.

Byron Davis took the ball and went straight to the basket, Qin Zheng followed when he landed, but the Grizzlies retreated faster, and Davis had no choice but to stand outside the three-point line and wait for the players to fall into position.

Qin Zheng stood in the paint area, pressed hard against Gasol Jr. behind him, and reached out to ask for the ball, but unfortunately Davis didn't see Qin Zheng's efforts at all, and opened his hand to make a three-point shot.

Bang! Striking iron. It turned out that Davis waited for players to be in position so that players could grab rebounds, not to give them assists.

It's a pity that with Davis's touching 28% three-point shooting rate, Qin Zheng's hard work was wasted.

"Brain-dead!" Qin Zheng whispered an underestimate, speaking Chinese, anyway, no one could understand it.

The body was not idle, and when he saw Davis shoot three points, he knew that he couldn't go in, and he turned around and pushed Gasol Jr. behind him.

Watching the basketball bounce away, Qin Zheng jumped up and rebounded +1. After taking the rebound, he didn't wait for anyone else to react, and immediately bounced again, slammed dunk with one hand, and scored +2 points.

After landing, Qin Zheng ran to his own half, not looking at any of his teammates at all, in his opinion, except for Kaman who played with a little brain, the others had no brains at all, and they threw indiscriminately, and there was no tacticality at all.

Just like Davis just now, your main responsibility is to organize the offense and not attack yourself, but unfortunately most of the point guards at the Black Stick don't think of that.

In their eyes, a height of 1.8 meters is inherently unreasonable, but my offensive spirit is comparable to Jordan, yes, they are comparable to Jordan.

On the contrary, the Grizzlies played more methodically, with Conley organizing the offense and hoisting the ball to Randolph.

Randolph leaned on Carman, made a quick turn, picked the blue, and scored.

For a center forward like Carman, Randolph is also very set, and his basic skills are very solid, which is not at all comparable to Griffin.

"Bill, do you guess the next shot, and the Clippers will give you that big man you like to attack?" Mark Jackson asked maliciously.

"I firmly believe that as long as you give the ball to Qin Zheng, he can dunk it in." Bill Wharton simply ignored Mark Jackson's trick and didn't fall for him.

This time, Davis still didn't give the ball to Qin Zheng, or chose to attack by himself, who made him the boss of the Clippers team the core of the Clippers team! As for Qin Zheng, you newcomer should slowly feel the atmosphere of professional basketball.

Thankfully, this time Davis' mid-range shot went in.

"Chris, I'll defend Randolph, and you'll defend Gasol Jr." Qin Zheng shouted at Kaman.

If Carman is allowed to defend against Randolph, it will definitely suffer, and as for Gasol Jr., there is no big problem, they are generally tall, about the same weight, and about the same flexibility, at most they explode each other.

Karman knew some of his shortcomings, nodded and agreed with Qin Zheng's words, anyway, he couldn't prevent Randolph, and the black cauldron didn't need me to carry it.

Qin Zheng carefully guarded against Randolph, did not stick to it closely, but chose to take half a step, Qin Zheng was not afraid of Randolph shooting on his head, if Randolph chose to shoot, he would let him see his bounce.

Sure enough, Randolph felt that he was humiliated by Qin Zheng's rookie actions, and jumped up to make a mid-range shot, but unfortunately Randolph didn't know Qin Zheng's bounce and explosiveness.

As soon as the basketball left the palm of his hand, he was slapped by Qin Zheng and slapped to the opposite side.

"Impossible, this explosive power is even more violent than Howard, I thought it was another Yao." Randolph looked at Qin Zheng's figure and thought that he was another Yao Ming, that is, he was more accurate in the middle of the shot, and he couldn't break out and bounce.

Next, Qin Zheng quickly let Randolph know that he and Yao Ming were not the same except for the fact that they were both yellow-skinned.

Single defense block, lateral defense, Qin Zheng did a very good job, no worse than Jefferson's.

"Mark, what did I say? After half a quarter, my prediction is more accurate than yours! No wonder Bill Wharton laughed and was so happy.

At the end of the half-quarter game, the Clippers actually led by two points by 14 points to 12 points, and Qin Zheng alone got 6 points and 3 rebounds, and also covered Randolph.

"Looks like Hollins is going to make a change!" Mark Jackson didn't answer, but quickly changed the subject.

"I wonder how Griffin plays compared to Qin?" There are not many dramas in the battle for the champions.
