The height and size of Oden and Pau Gasol stand out like two giant towers at the Seattle SuperSonics' three-point line.

Antetokounmpo is actually not short, and the muscles on his body are quite good, but comparing him with Auden and Big Gasol, Antetokounmpo's body still looks a little thin.

Of course, the same goes for Durant.

This kind of high-flying style of play really makes the Seattle SuperSonics have no way to do it on the court.

For Gasol, a man-to-man defense like the Seattle SuperSonics, combined with the height of the superSonics defenders, makes for his passing, without any obstruction and line of sight.

His pass can be perfectly delivered to Oden at any angle and in any way.

Similarly, there is no player in the entire Seattle SuperSonics who can block Oden from holding the ball one-on-one.

And Oden, who has grown into a basketball monster in the NBA for seven years now, even if he is not as dominant as O'Neal and Yao Ming, he is definitely one of the most suitable players in the entire NBA history to be a combination of O'Neal and Yao Ming.

He has O'Neal's power play, and he also has Yao Ming's technical play.

This is also the reason why Antetokounmpo's attempt to go around Auden like Yao Ming ended up failing, because in addition to strength and skill, he also has physical talent and athleticism.

That's why when the Seattle SuperSonics continue to soar this season, many people feel that the Grizzlies, a team that should have been somewhat aging and declining, are the most likely to become supersonic finishers.

Oden's current style of play and style are too suitable to be a small-ball finisher.

In last year's playoffs, the Warriors, who were 80-2 and finally entered the Finals, were cornered by Oden and a group of aging stars, and finally defeated Oden and the Grizzlies 4-3.

Oden failed to turn the NBA's small-ball tide in the playoffs last season.

But the accolades received are very, very high.

It is precisely because of the game against the Warriors in the playoffs last season that Oden became the No. 1 center in the NBA this season.

So, after the Seattle SuperSonics' first defense was pierced by the likes of Oden and the Grizzlies, even the old Nelson on the bench was a little surprised and frowned.

You know, when he fought the warriors, he didn't show such an expression.

Of course, compared to the surprise and frowning of old Nelson now.

The Grizzlies fans at the scene, and many viewers in front of the TV, did not have such expressions at all at this time.

The audience was certainly excited.

In the past few years of Oden's time with the Grizzlies, it can be said that he has become the first person in the Grizzlies, just like James, who did not leave the Cavaliers.

"Beat the SuperSonics and win the MVP!"

There is no doubt that the Grizzlies' opening offense gave them an opportunity to achieve that goal in this game.

In front of the TV, the expressions on the faces of Kobe Bryant and James and others were a little complicated.

Both men certainly want to be the first to beat the Seattle SuperSonics.

However, it is not undesirable to see the defeat of the Seattle SuperSonics and Yes.

Seriously, this start between Oden and the Grizzlies was really surprising to them.

The Seattle SuperSonics' first defense was such a failure, according to the previous style of the Seattle SuperSonics, after being dunked by Oden, while Oden was still under the basket, he must have served the baseline ball quickly and attacked directly.

It doesn't matter if you can't defend against it, then it's better to run a race to see who has the best running ability.

But the Seattle SuperSonics' first offense didn't start with a fast break with a fast serve.

Because when Antetokounmpo, who was carried away by Oden, wanted to serve the baseline ball quickly, Maddy, Carter and Battier, the three Seattle SuperSonics outside players who had been standing outside the three-point line, had all retreated to the vicinity of the halfway line!

The Grizzlies didn't give the Seattle SuperSonics any chance to fight back quickly.

The audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV showed a look of surprise on their faces after seeing the big screen replay and the replay of the TV.

In fact, even the on-site commentators Barkley and Kenny Smith had surprised expressions on their faces after watching the replay of the Grizzlies' offense.

"The Grizzlies' offense, after handing the ball to Gasol, Maddy and Carter Battier stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, standing at 45 degrees on the left and right sides, and they didn't enter the three-point line to participate in the offense at all, they didn't run, and they didn't have the intention of going to the baseline to widen more space for Oden and Gasol, in addition to being a three-point shooter on the perimeter, the three of them were always ready to retreat!"

"When Gasol passed the ball to Oden, the three of them didn't even contain it, and they had already retreated directly!"

Looking at the replay of Gasol throwing the ball at Oden on the big screen at the scene, Carter, Maddy and Battier retreated very tacitly, Kenny Smith and Barkley were really shocked.

"The Grizzlies believe that Gasol and Oden can solve the supersonic offense, and this defense!"

"And it's a quick offense and defense!"

You know, if they retreat, the players who defend them outside will retract Oden or Gasol, if the Grizzlies' offense is not so fast this time, they directly let Oden and Gasol 2 to 5 retreat, it is a cheat.

But in the end, it turned out that their choice was not wrong.

Oden and Gasol did get off the beaten track quickly.

There was not even a chance to give the supersonic peripheral players a trap.

"The double inside combination of Oden and Gasol is too big for the superSonic's five small advantages!"

In the end, the Grizzlies' three outside players not only did not cheat, but also directly killed the Seattle supersonics' fast attack!

Therefore, after completing the defense on the spot, almost all the cameras on the scene were aimed at Grizzlies head coach Hollins who was standing in front of the Grizzlies bench on the sidelines.

Obviously, this attack was definitely premeditated!

Suddenly focused by the cameras on the scene, Hollins certainly felt it, but there was still no expression on his face.

This is his sixth consecutive season in charge of the Grizzlies, and it can be said that he has accompanied the Grizzlies from their peak to their current age.

He knew very well that there were not many opportunities left for him.

From the time he accepted the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies were the representatives of the league's big man teams.

Over the years, the league's 'biggest' team has continued to fail.

The Supersonics succeeded, the Mavericks succeeded, the Warriors succeeded, the Cavaliers succeeded, and the Grizzlies kept failing.

He knows very well that it is difficult for him to win with 'big' in the Grizzlies now, and the trend has passed.

This season's game against the Seattle SuperSonics is his only chance to swim against the current.

Against the SuperSonics, he needs to take out everything he's had all these years with the Grizzlies.

If this opportunity is not taken, the Grizzlies will rebuild and he will leave, and Oden, the wizard of the 'big man', will be forced to change his style of play and slowly change to 'small'.

Isn't it cruel and cruel to force O'Neill to run?

If he succeeds, how can O'Neill be willing to change himself to run like a little man?

Of course, Oden didn't have the dominance of O'Neill.

But he knows that Oden also has the desire to be as successful as O'Neill, and if he really can't do anything in the end, he will force himself to change.

So, this time, it's not just Oden's bucking the current, it's also him and the Grizzlies bucking the trend!

This is a game that neither he nor the Grizzlies want to lose!

Without a chance to break fast, the Seattle SuperSonics can only force a positional battle with the Grizzlies.

However, while the Grizzlies' defensive strategy has slowed down the Seattle SuperSonics' offensive speed.

But the positional offense, the Seattle SuperSonics are really not and afraid of the Grizzlies' defense.

Maddy, Carter and Battier aside, Gasol is a defensive hole that the Grizzlies will never be able to solve.

If it's a big defense, Gasol is certainly not a defensive hole.

But all five on Seattle's SuperSonics court are so-called small players.

Antetokounmpo took Oden straight to the basket after halftime.

And against the Seattle SuperSonics Leonard, Yees, Durant and James Harden standing outside that circle, Pau Gasol must choose a defense.

In the end, Gasol chose James Harden, who seemed to be the 'best bully' of the four.

Whoever Da Gasol defends, the supersonic will let whoever plays, and after James Harden received Durant's pass, a homeopathic change of direction breakthrough directly cleaned up Da Gasol.

Pau Gasol's defense has been very hard, after being passed by James Harden, he immediately turned back to chase back, but when he chased into the free throw line, he saw James Harden stop before hitting Oden, who was helping the defense, and then James Harden's basketball was like magic, and it was thrown low from Oden's armpit to Antetokounmpo, who had already detoured back to the basket.

The same air relay!

The same momentum sinks!

Oden had already tried very hard to turn and pounce, but he was still a beat slower.

2 to 2!

It's a different process, but the Seattle SuperSonics scored the same score in the same way.

Of course, the Grizzlies' first offense, it was Oden who was amazing, and this time the supersonic offense, it was definitely not Antetokounmpo who dunked.

Instead, he broke through Gasol and then calmly passed the ball to Antetokounmpo's James Harden in the air relay.

"James Harden has been with the Seattle SuperSonics for so many years, and he has never found his passing ability so strong!"

"You can brake before you hit Oden, and you can pass the ball under Oden's armpit in that braking situation!"

"It's too clever, James Harden's offense this time is too clever, Oden is not as reckless as he was when he was a rookie, but he was still deceived by James Harden's offense this time!"

This time Oden was indeed deceived by James Harden.

James Harden rushed so fast, Oden wanted to make James Harden hit people with the ball.

Even if he failed to hit people with the ball, James Harden rushed so fiercely that he couldn't pass the ball, so he could only face him head-on.

However, Oden really never thought that James Harden could brake in that situation, and his body was too sensitive!

Again, in that case, you can pass the ball under his armpit with a low hand, and it will pass so accurately!

James Harden fed Antetokounmpo's pie really comfortably this time.

It's all stuffed straight into the mouth.

Looking at James Harden, who high-fived Antetokounmpo after the dunk, Durant frowned.

In the past three years, he has not seen James Harden pass him so comfortably.

Thinking of the dumps he received from James Harden in the past three years, Durant's brow furrowed even deeper.

However, thinking of James Harden's purpose for doing this, the frowning brows on Durant's face also relaxed, and his face once again returned to coldness and calmness.

Although it was pitted for three years.

But they are still like-minded comrades.

Everyone's goal is still the same.

Turning around, the Memphis Grizzlies continued to attack, and this time the Seattle SuperSonics were clearly more aware of Gasol and Oden's movements.

Durant, who had been defending in front of his idol Carter, returned to the interior and appeared in front of Gasol this time.

Whether or not Gasol's pass can be blocked, at least it can block his view and block part of the passing route, which is also better for Antetokounmpo's defense.

In addition to Durant's switch to Gasol, Leonard, Yes and James Harden have obviously recycled deeper.

As long as there is any hesitation in Gasol's pass, or in the slightest hesitation in Oden's attack, Leonard and Yees on the outside or James Harden will directly pounce back and break the ball.

The Seattle SuperSonics' five-small defense is invincible in terms of the ability to move the defense!

In fact, Durant's change of defense coupled with the supersonic defensive recovery seems to have really caused Gasol to hesitate to pass, and it seems that he has not found a passing route that directly allows Oden to attack, as long as Oden does not have the opportunity to attack directly, even if it is just to sit and play, with supersonic defense, Oden will not be able to sit and play Antetokounmpo well.

Therefore, after seeing the big Gasol hesitate, the clever James Harden immediately let go of Battier in front of him, and let him pounce directly on Gasol.

It's just that James Harden pounced halfway, and Gasol's temperament, who seemed to be hesitant just now, changed instantly.

"Oops, fooled!"

By the time James Harden realized he had been fooled too, it was too late.

Fortunately, he turned around abruptly and was slightly relieved to see that Yes was pounced on Battier.

There's still a chance!

It's just that......

Gasol's pass was not to Battier, the pass was to Carter.

"He had already predicted it!"

Gasol, James Harden was stunned!

Brush it up!

5 to 2!

Carter hits a three-point shot!

Gasol, who was in the spotlight like James Harden just now, raised his right hand high to the cheers of the fans.

He also knew, all of them knew, except for Oden, their chances were also not much!
