At noon that day, the FedEx Arena warmed up the players. People waited and waited for the game to start.

The Memphis Grizzlies are also a young team, with young players and a young team. They joined the NBA at the same time as the Toronto Raptors, the first in Vancouver, Canada, and the Toronto Raptors are brothers who watch each other. In 2001, he moved back to Memphis, USA, and settled down here.

That year, in Memphis, they got lucky, selecting Pau Gasol of Spain with the third pick in the first round and Sean Battier with the sixth pick. Under the leadership of these two leaders, they were finally on the right path in '03-04, reaching the playoffs for the first time, and they continued last year when Pau Gasol became the Grizzlies' first All-Star.

But sadly, they never won in the playoffs, and for two years in a row they were taught to be human and were swept away. This year, they are fighting hard and regrouping to fight again. So far, they have a record of six wins and four losses, and they are in fifth place in the miserable West.

The Raptors went to Memphis with a four-game winning streak and are currently sixth in the East, completing a gorgeous transformation from being a fish belly at the beginning of the season to become a good team. Of course, Memphis will not underestimate them, and it is worth paying attention to such a record.

The mascot big dog bear Gray squats on his buttocks, pulls out the flying ribbon with both hands, and shoots in the direction of Kyle, who is shooting to find a feeling, Nima! Kyle has a few colorful ribbons on his head, and he is startled and comes to prank me, you uncle! He cursed in his heart, but he could only walk away stupidly, and he didn't have time to pay attention.

This powerful dialogue did not attract too many eyeballs, and there was no national TV station to broadcast it live, but the audience was not upset and was still full of interest. The Raptors started the same lineup, the Grizzlies' starting center is Lorencen White, the power forward is Gasol, the small forward Battier, the scoring guard is Eddie Jones who was traded from the Heat, and the point guard is the Raptors' first "flying squirrel" Damon Stoudemire.

The first attack in the opening game was still the Raptors' face of Stoudemire, who was a head shorter than him, Kyle's sense of superiority came spontaneously, and he could finally abuse you! There was no need to block and dismantle, Kyle directly accelerated and slammed in, and he was stunned after only one step, Nima! What about balls? Looking back, "Little Squirrel" jumped like an elf and flew towards the backcourt, and Kyle couldn't catch up, so he could only watch the little guy fly to the basket.

The first goal was deflated, and the fork was not reversed, Kyle finally knew what ginger was or old spicy, and famous people must not be ignored. This time Kyle was much more honest, dribbling with one hand and protecting the ball with open arms.

"Little one! Don't be nervous, I won't steal you, I swear. At the top of the arc, Stoudemire started to fight back, and those who despised him paid the price, and Kyle was no exception.

"Really? I'm going to pop you up from the right, are you ready? Bub. Kyle teased softly. The little guy is on the little one!

Before the words fell, Kyle had already kicked the ground, leaning to the right, blocking with one arm, that is, suddenly, Stoudemire was forced to squeeze away, and then he could only follow Kyle to eat dust. Kyle faced White as he was on guard, then turned and wiped over, and took a step into the sky, straight to the basket, and dunked perfectly.

It was Stoudemire's turn to control the ball, and Kyle was in the mood. "What's the matter, I said that if you are on your right, you will be on your right, it's as simple as that, it makes sense that you were abandoned by the Raptors back then, you are useless."

"I've been tired of playing this trick ten years ago, boy!" Stoudemire is not angry either, anger is the devil.

"I didn't mean to joke with you, you used to have a good speed, but now, I'm afraid your parts have been broken up, I only use three success forces to deal with you, I'm serious."

Stoudemire just smiled, gave the ball to Gasol, and ran away. Kyle finally believes the old fritter's words, as if his little tricks are useless!

Gasol deserves to be a top-level insider, three sways and two shakes, stepped back and turned over and jumped in, and Bosh can no longer find the north.

Kyle slowly crossed the halfway line, and this time Battier, a recognized defensive expert, came to defend, and Kyle was stunned! Sure enough, it's a special treatment. It was Bell when he played the Suns, and now he has another defensive everybody, and it's still a very tall defensive everybody. Completely convinced! Kyle thinks he's a rookie, can he be targeted? Isn't it great that you brush the data, I brush the data, and everyone brushes the data together?

Obviously, Grizzlies head coach Mike Flatrow treats Kyle as a star, sending his team's best defensive players to target him, which is the only way for a superstar to evolve, and it is also an honor, but also a challenge, for Kyle, he doesn't want both, he just needs beautiful stats and then wins.

The reason why stars are stars is because they have been caught countless times, marked by special personnel, assisted by the side, and even come out of the defensive tactics specially designed for them, and they can still play a stable super performance under the ultra-high-intensity defense. To put it mildly, they are all forged by fire and water. Kyle is going through this period, colloquially known as the Labor Pains. Because under the defense of this intensity of defense experts, the average player will seem at a loss, if it is a package defense, it is even worse, 90% of the league can not break through this level, and finally add the help defense, then the intensity will be doubled, and half of the remaining ten percent is lying here. That's why the stars are stars, they're all forced out. Players like the kind who dominate an era will enjoy specially designed defensive routines, such as Jordan, such as O'Neal, and so on! Kobe Bryant seems to be enjoying this treatment this year.

Kyle didn't do it hard, he gave the ball to Jalen and walked away.

Jaylen faced Stoudemire under his armpit, a butt, and then a direct three-point jumper, just so capricious! Entered without suspense. Then the Raptors' offense, Kyle first stuffed Jalen, Jalen also competed, and without waiting for the Grizzlies' players to help defend, he shot early and scored in a frame.

When Jalen scored 12 points with a super high efficiency of 4 of 5, Mike finally couldn't stand the taste of being stabbed, and with a wave of his hand, Fighter finally disappeared in front of Kyle's eyes. Kyle is happy! Finally, it was his turn to bully the dwarfs.

But the fact that Kyle's score is not so simple, his three-point ability is insufficient, and Stoudemire's interference with him is still there, he tried it, but he didn't score! it!

Turning back, Stoudemire dyed Kyle's color, and in the face of Kyle, he quickly crossed his steps, reversed and changed direction, Kyle was shaken by him, and this sudden two-step pull up and throw, hit! He accomplished a redemption.

Kyle was speechless, this time he no longer forced the shot, but chose a more secure breakthrough, and then split the ball, Jalen scored again, and Bosh scored a jumper at the top of the arc.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides attacked each other, the rhythm was very smooth, you came and went, it was not lively. The audience on the sidelines saw that it was pleasing and happy to spend money.

With two minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Kyle was brought on off the bench, and Kyle played mediocre, scoring just five points and two assists. Calderon comes on, the forgotten newcomer who has been pinned to the bench since Kyle's comeback. He also thought about resisting, but in the face of Kyle's performance, he found that he had no way to break free, so he could only follow the arrangement of fate and be a substitute in peace.

Stoudemire had six points and two assists, and Kyle was half a pound. But Kyle is not convinced, why can't he play in the face of a dwarf who is shorter than himself? Don't say much, thirty points should always be touchable, and finally there is someone who can be bullied, but it can only be a draw. What's the problem? The Grizzlies' defense is even better than he imagined, that's for sure, especially in terms of defensive breakouts, the volume of White and Gasol on the inside line is there, the enveloping range is too large, Kyle can't show it, and Battier and Eddie Jones have outstanding defensive awareness, and they cooperate tacitly, whoever is close will help defend. Kyle only needs a little bit of blocking, and with Stoudemire's speed, he can quickly make up for the loss. The assistant defenders can also quickly fill their positions. So that's what makes Kyle play poorly.

In the face of the big center and the big inside, Kyle always feels that the breakthrough is frustrated, his range of movement in the narrow penalty area is too small, and the possibility of interference is greatly increased, unless he can rush up, but how can the opponent let him rush up, and he is not a stake. In addition, it is difficult to increase the speed of the half-court position.

Kyle is trying to figure out how to break the game, and the players on the field are scrambling hotly. Calderon's organizational skills are still good, he can rely on blocking and dismantling breakthroughs, he can also hang high, pass back, hit the ground, grasp the timing very well, and his vision is also very broad. Smith is the shooter and second breakout, Barnes has replaced Joey as the first bench for small forward, he is responsible for cutting and defending the opponent's big man, Antonio can act as a stopover and shoot on his own, Bonner is an ambush shooter and is responsible for blocking and covering. Sometimes Reggie is on the line, and that's when the opponent is on the side with that kind of power-attacking power forward, and it's time for him to play a role.

This round the Raptors attacked, Calderon bypassed Bonner's human wall and rushed in, small forward Mike Miller came to make up for the defense, he passed the ball to Antonio, who was in a better position, and the latter gave Bonner when the center Jack saved, and point guard Bobby Jackson flew over to make up for the leak, at this time the Grizzlies' defensive formation was chaotic, and Bonner then distributed the ball to Barnes, who cut in, and the latter easily dunked. It's smoother than the rhythm of the main force.

Kyle looked up at this time and saw Barnes who was slamming and coaxing, and his eyes lit up, what would happen if Barnes partnered with him? Just like that against the Suns, but who will defend Gasol? Bosh! And what about White? This big man with a strong impact, Barnes came to defend, I'm afraid he will break his ribs. Barnes defended Gasol, and it was estimated that he would be tortured to death. Gasol is not as short and small as Marion, he is a pure big man, Barnes can defend against Marion, but it is impossible to defend against Gasol.

Kyle is in a state of tangle, unable to extricate himself. He didn't think about who to arrange for him to do business, it was Sam's business. Worry! (To be continued.) )
