The Grizzlies played very hard tonight.

The Grizzlies' starters, in addition to Oden, Maddy is now 34 years old, Carter is now 36 years old, Gasol is now 33 years old, and even Battier is now 35 years old.

For these Grizzlies players, this season is pretty much their last chance.

If this season continues to be a failure, then they must definitely leave the Grizzlies.

After leaving the Grizzlies, their prestige can also get a job in the NBA.

But if you want to get a starting job at a team like the Seattle SuperSonics, Lakers and Warriors, it's not going to be possible.

It can be said that leaving the Grizzlies will enter another stage of their career.

A phase of slowly fading out of the NBA and moving towards retirement.

Are they willing to do that?

Of course not!

So, they must succeed in the grizzlies!

Success in the Grizzlies doesn't mean a championship.

Helping the Grizzlies stabilize Oden's heart is also a success.

This is Oden's seventh season in the NBA, and Oden can jump out of his contract next season, and if Oden still doesn't get anything this season, it's hard for the Grizzlies to believe that Oden will choose to stay here.

Therefore, next season, whether Oden himself is willing or Oden is unwilling, the Grizzlies will make a final effort to keep Oden and make drastic changes to the team.

And they are undoubtedly the ones to be reformed.

Moreover, this is only from the point of view of their own interests, even if it is not for themselves, even if it is for the sake of Oden and for the Grizzlies, they will definitely not allow themselves to get nothing all these years.

You know, over the years, Oden and the Grizzlies have given them too much respect.

Don't talk about anyone else, let's talk about Maddie, when he was disliked by the mosaic team in his heart, the entire league Grizzlies chose to trust him unconditionally.

Although he no longer has the athleticism he had at his peak, his height and his technical ability allow him to be an excellent passer and shooter on the pitch even if he loses his athleticism.

Whether it is for themselves or for the trust of the Grizzlies and Oden over the years, they don't allow the Grizzlies and Oden to get nothing over the years, so that Oden or the Grizzlies think that they have mistrusted them for so many years and wasted Oden's life for so many years.

They are all proud people.

No matter how old they are now, they don't want to stay in Oden's mind that the years they have been teammates with them are worthless periods of time!

After Carter hit the first three-pointer of the game, there was no excitement on his face, but he became more determined.

The same goes for Maddy and Battier, who retreated to the backcourt with him.

"This game is just the beginning!"

These veterans of the Grizzlies started with a bit of a surprise and shock to the Seattle SuperSonics.

"All of them are old and fine!"

James Harden, who was teased by Gasol just now, looked at the old men who retreated in an orderly manner.

Although the other SuperSonics players are not as depressed as James Harden, they still recognize James Harden's words very much.

These Grizzlies players are indeed in that old state now, Carter, Gasol, Battier and even Maddy, the current ball quotient, is simply terrifying.

And it's not just the pitch that's high, they're also quite good right now.

Let's talk about the oldest Grizzlies outside three old Carter, Maddy and Battier, all three of them have reached 40% three-point shooting rate in the playoffs last season, and the reason why the Grizzlies played seven games with the Warriors in the playoffs last season is because of Oden's thorough maturity and the three-point containment of the outside three old men reached new heights.

With a super center and three players shooting 40 percent from three-point range, the power of this combination can create chemistry.

And in the regular season this season, the trio maintained such a shooting percentage.

In addition to the outside three, Gasol's various stats this season, points, rebounds, assists and even blocks have risen across the board, can you believe it?

At the beginning, 2k gave Gasol's ability value 81, and now in the game, Gasol's 2k value has risen to 87.

Many people are laughing and saying that Bennett himself has not opened up yet, but has opened up a bunch of other players.

Great Gasol is one of them.

Of course, from a scientific point of view, it certainly wasn't because of Bennett's light.

According to Nelson Sr., from a scientific point of view.

The Grizzlies' outside trio continued last season's playoff performance, and this season, the trio's outside shooting reached such heights for the first time.

The three of them have worked together for so many years, and their three-point shooting ability has never been more threatening.

At the same time, because of their age, their organizational responsibilities have been slowly diluted, and more organizational responsibilities have been handed over to Gasol and Oden.

Gasol in particular, because Gasol is the key point that connects the Grizzlies inside and out.

When you're connecting inside and outside, with Oden's No. 1 center in the league on the inside, and three old shooters on the outside who have shot more than 40% from three-point range, it's actually very simple for you to get the stats.

Whether it's inside or outside, you can get the data.

Even inside and outside can't be passed, which means that when the defense is tight inside and out, Gasol can still get data, scoring data.

From the eyes of old Nelson, the Grizzlies are indeed a little completely old this season, but the chemistry of this team is the best since the formation of this team!

No kidding, the grizzly bear's chemistry right now is really good.

It's not just the old Nelson who sees it that way.

Phil Jackson in front of the TV thinks the same way.

"Simplify, now the Grizzlies are on the offensive end, completely simplifying!"

There are no fancy routines, but the opponent just can't defend against it.

"This Grizzly Bear may have a hard time maintaining its intensity in the regular season because of its age, but if it is just a game or a series, it will be very scary!"

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, the Lakers players around him also nodded.

And the little magician EJ Johnson is also secretly babbling.

These old bacon uncles aren't really going to take off this season, are they?

Just like Nowitzki, who suddenly took off in 2011.

And at this time, the Seattle SuperSonics on TV once again began to attack.

The Grizzlies' defense is very old-fashioned, and this time they still didn't give the Seattle SuperSonics a chance to break fast.

Of course, Gasol remains a weakness for the Grizzlies.

After the Seattle SuperSonics' first offense was teased by James Harden, Pau Gasol was also quite uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why he just played James Harden and got the court back.

And this time, Gasol chose not to defend James Harden and instead defended Leonard.

Yes and Durant are definitely not defensible.

James Harden has proven that the same defense can't be defended with that trick of his just now.

In that case, try Leonard.

Anyway, the five players on the court of the Seattle SuperSonics, except for Antetokounmpo who pressed to the inside, he always had to find one of the weakest offensive weaknesses in this game.

As a defensive weakness on the Grizzlies' court, Gasol's defense is very serious.

Even more serious than when defending James Harden before.

Compared with James Harden's ball-handling style, Leonard's ball-handling in front of him is the type he prefers to defend.

The rhythm of this card doesn't seem to be very fast, and he seems to be really able to keep up!

For a time, Gasol's confidence doubled!

Of course, Leonard didn't know what Gasol was thinking now, and after a crotch drop in front of Gasol, Leonard dribbled directly to Gasol's body.

Whether it is the dribbling action or the rhythm of dribbling, it is so unpretentious, but when Leonard, who was attached to Gasol, after a fake throw, directly cleaned up Gasol behind him.

The pace is really not fast, and the dribbling is not so flashy.

But his palm was too big!

The basketball felt as if it was being attached to his hands, causing him to make fake moves just like Jordan!

Although his card-by-card rhythm was slower than Jordan's, the final effect was the same as Jordan's.

After Leonard half-turned around and broke through Gasol without hurry, he did not break through to the inside line to challenge Oden like James Harden, but jumped up very calmly and gently, faced Gasol who pounced back, and threw the basketball in his hand backwards.

Step-back jumper!

Gasol's block didn't have any defensive effect, as Leonard shot much higher than James Harden and was backwards.

He couldn't block the basketball that Leonard had already shot.

Gasol's defense seems to be in place, but in fact it doesn't work.

You can't put defensive pressure on the time of the shot, and you can't block after the shot, and of course it's ineffective defense.

Brush it up!

The basketball that was thrown out by Leonard was hollowly brushed into the net.

The sound of the basketball entering the net was so crisp that even the Grizzly Bears fans at the scene thought it was wonderful.

5 to 4!

"Another powerless defensive ......"

Gasol, who played the entire supersonic speed on the offensive end just now, was really a little dumbfounded at this time.

Whether it's James Harden or Leonard, beating him is like cutting leeks, which is uncomfortable.

Although he is a big player, the big man does have a problem defending the small player.

But Gasol isn't really much of a defensive colander either.

It's slower, but not that slow.

There was also Oden's deterrent assistance in the back.

In this case, an outside player with All-Star offensive prowess can defend himself.

James Harden is a top All-Star.

Although Leonard is a supergiant, his offense has not reached the level of supergiant, at least, in the eyes of many people, he has not reached the level of supergiant.

It can be said that in addition to Yees and Durant, two offensive supergiants, before the start of this game, Gasol really felt that if he defended Leonard and James Harden, the two players with the lowest supersonic offense, he still had a chance not to coop.

But now, these two defenses really made him a little suspicious.

The first defense was for Oden to be played by James Harden.

And this time defending Leonard, Oden didn't even have a chance to assist him!

"The Seattle SuperSonics' five-small tactics make it very, very uncomfortable for teams with defensive holes!"

"It's not just going to be very uncomfortable for teams that have defensive holes, but it's also very uncomfortable for teams like the Cavaliers who make James submissive on the defensive end and punch the opponent's defensive colander on the offensive end!"

"The five superSonics players, it seems that everyone's offense has reached a very high level, everyone's defense has also reached a very high level, and when they need to hit someone, there is really no way to avoid it, there is no way to hide!"

Listening to Barkley's words on TV, James in front of the TV was a little unhappy.

Lao Tzu stood in front of Dream Green on the defensive end, and blocked Curry on the offensive end, did he provoke you, or what?

Which NBA rule doesn't allow me to do that?

I have the ability to hack me, and I have the ability to let Yes learn from me to block and dismantle Gasol!

I don't take advantage of it, and I don't have a dry hair!

But thinking of this, James was stunned again.

It seems that Yes really doesn't like to block and dismantle opponents' loopholes.

In the playoffs between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks three years ago, Yes could have played Nowitzki, but he never did.

At that time, ESPN, according to statistics, Yes did not take the initiative to find Nowitzki once.

Then he thought about the other supergiants in the alliance.

His teammate Anthony, like Durant Beasley, hits whoever is in front of him, is not picky, even if it is a pick-and-roll, he basically chooses the opponent to play at will, often a string of fives, and does not pick a defensive colander very much.

And then Kobe Bryant and Arenas, then they are even less picky eaters, let alone a dozen or one, even if it is a dozen two, one dozen or three are not picky eaters.

And Curry ......

I was thinking about a string of five supersonic before, and I don't seem to be picky eaters.

From this point of view, it seems that these supergiants in the alliance seem to like to pick soft persimmons when attacking?

I don't want to know, thinking about it really makes James a little startled, and another reason why he finally found out why he has won the championship and has been disagreed by Warriors fans......

Proud? Super Pride!

Not to mention that James from Huadian was found outside the TV.

The game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Memphis Grizzlies on the TV was in a very anxious state.

After the start of the SuperSonics game, Leonard and James Harden's offense was quite surprising.

The fighting power of the Grizzlies' group of classic cars after the start of the race really startled many people in front of the TV.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied 36-35 on the court!

"Not to mention that the Grizzlies only trailed by one point in the first quarter, let's just say that this season, the Seattle SuperSonics scored so low in the first quarter?!"

"This group of grizzly uncles actually controlled the rhythm of this game!"

The invincible supersonic rhythm of this season, this game was actually suppressed by this group of old men!

This group of grizzly bears, this is about to take off!
