Chapter 319: The Pressure of the Eastern Team...... (1/3)

"Is the rumored news of the feud between Mark and Zhou Yang a response to this game?"

A reporter smiled there at this time and said to Jafaroni, who was directly in front of the press conference. Jafaroni is actually feeling quite tired today. When he came to the press conference, he wanted to be on the sidelines and give his players the opportunity to answer questions.

But even so, it still can't stop the reporters from asking him crazy! As soon as this game is over, the media blew up! There seemed to be more reporters at today's press conference than ever before!

"I really don't know much about that...... Maybe they have, maybe they don't have any contradictions at all. Both Jeans are very young, young and vigorous, and it is understandable that there are sometimes quarrels or secret rivalries. I ......"

"Does that mean you're already hinting that Zhou Yang and Marc Gasol have had conflicts and festivals before?"

"I haven't finished yet......" Jafaroni said politely and without embarrassment. The heat of the scene has only decreased slightly.

"I don't rule out the possibility of this. Also, I'm not hinting at anything...... What I just wanted to say is...... What do I want to say? The Grizzlies coach's train of thought at this point has been interrupted by reporters......

"That's right! I have no objection to such a contradictory situation within the team. But if this kind of form makes the team's win rate and the rhythm of the team in the game problematic, I can't tolerate it."

Neither Gasol Jr. nor Zhou Yang came over at the scene. So the reporters wanted to ask more about the topic of two people.

"What do you think of the Suns' performance in this game?" The reporters continued to ask questions.

"I can't go into too much detail about this right now. Because there's a lot of stuff in it. They're still the stronger team. Maybe they had a problem with the third quarter? Or the last few rounds didn't play well. I'm going to have to go back and watch the game, I think."

"And what do you think of Marc Gasol? What brought him back to the game today? I heard that after he and you had an argument some time ago, you didn't let him play, right? ”

"We did have an argument. This happened during the game. What are you...... Three questions? Well, I didn't stop him from playing. He asked for it himself, and if he had something to ask for, I would give him the leave. And he said he was back today, and I asked him to come back when he wanted to play. He seems to have a cold. That's basically it."

"And what do you think of Mark's performance in this game?" The reporters immediately reminded Jafaroni when they found out that Jafaroni had not answered the question.

"There is not much strength in the confrontation. Especially in the later stage, the state seems to be better than before. Well...... Be more aggressive in grabbing rebounds. It's pretty good," Jafaroni said, reflecting on Gasol Jr.'s performance in the game.

"Then what do you think of Zhou Yang?" After another reporter asked, the scene was immediately quiet! Everyone thinks that this is the time to listen carefully to what Jafaroni has to say.

“...... Some of the handling balls are still not very good. There are not many opportunities to attack on your own...... Physical confrontation on ...... It's not very good yet. So be it, but he played well today."

When he took the question, Jafaroni apparently paused for almost 10 seconds before he began to answer. Everyone seems to know that the manager seems to have made some adjustments to say this.

In the past, Jafaroni only came to the position of head coach because of this season. So at the press conference, his answer was sometimes very direct. Tonight, however, reporters seemed to feel that Jafaroni's answer was not too satisfying for them.

......

"Today you made me see a different you, Mark," Zhou Yang said to Gasol Jr. after the match.

"You think one of these games will buy me?" Suddenly, something flickered slightly in Mark's eyes, and then turned to look at Zhou Yang coldly. Facing the suddenly cold and cold mark, Zhou Yang didn't know what he meant.

"Are you kidding?" Zhou Yang thought for a moment and responded.

"Zhou Yang, I am fortunate to meet an 'opponent' like you this season. I won't let you much off the field! But let's try to get as many wins as possible in the future! You're really good, and you're worthy of being my 'opponent'! ”

Playing in the NBDL until the end of the season, Gasol Jr. did not say such a thing to any of his teammates or opponents. He knows the quality of the players in the NBA. But now that he's in the NBA, Mark has to look at it from a different level and look at it all again.

His form is back. When he first arrived with the Grizzlies, he was really inflated by having that kind of treatment. But since the Lakers came over a few players, the contradiction has also followed!

What Mark has always wanted to prove is that the arrival of this group of people doesn't change anything. He will still be the boss of Memphis in the future! But in the game, he found out that this was not the case.

Even his status was changed little by little by the players from the Lakers! If the management values you, but the coaches and the players don't have a good relationship with you. Eventually, the management will make a more compromise choice.

The arrival of the eldest brother Pau Gasol that day and the exchanges of those days made him go back to the little Gasol who wanted to prove himself the year before last! That's why he's playing as a top center in the Development League!

It was because of this that the Grizzlies took a fancy to him, and directly asked them to let Gasol Jr. take over the position of the Grizzlies' main center! As his brother said, he can't just stare at the players in front of him every day.

Think long-term! The goal is to work hard at the level of the top center in the NBA! Although it was hard for him! Maybe you have to fight for it for a few years, or even five years later, you may still be just a good blue-collar center.

But he's already decided to give it a try!

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand. After Zhou Yang took it, Mark hugged him as soon as he used two force!

Zhou Yang felt the changes in little Gasol. He thinks that this season may not be so difficult for their team to play~ especially in the playoffs! And Gasol Jr. seems to have sent him a useful message today, that is, he is going to cooperate with Zhou Yang in the arena!

115:113! The end result was a bit difficult for the Suns to accept. The Grizzlies eventually won against them!

Stoudemire 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists! Marion 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks! Burreth 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists! Nash 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists! Barbosa 18 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists!

They have fought hard in the end, but the opponent seems to have a stronger home court advantage, and the Suns, who are five points behind, can't catch up with the Grizzlies in the end......

On the Grizzlies' side, Mark got 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists! Zhou Yang 17 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists! Gay had 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals! Miller 21 points, 2 assists and 1 steal! Fisher had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists!

The cooperation between Gasol Jr. and Zhou Yang in this game is a highlight!

......

The Grizzlies' next opponent is a game against the Pistons in Detroit. The Pistons haven't had a good season this season...... If they had won the Lakers in the Finals last season, maybe they could have a little confidence now~

At least they're a two-time champion! We must also strive for the goal of winning three consecutive championships! But since the loss to the Lakers, they feel like the days of belonging to the Pistons seem to be fading away......

First of all, O'Neal shocked them with a salary of 10 million a year, and the Miami Heat! The Heat are pretty good right now, okay? What's the fuss about another O'Neill?

The combination of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant is strong. Now O'Neill has met Wade...... Under the leadership of legendary coach Riley, it seems that every one of the current Hot Team players is not vegetarian......

And then there's the Celtics in the East, and you big three just came together and did you let it go?! This season, the Pistons met Miami and lost, and the Celtics lost a miserable ...... As a result, except for these two teams, when they met Cleveland, the other team did not relent......

The Celtics seem to be a little out of the way in the East this season...... All the way through, as long as the team in the east sees them, they basically feel that they are out of play...... Now several strong teams in the West are also starting to study the Green Shirts! They may be the biggest threat to the West this season!

And the Heat and Cavaliers can't easily let go of the Pistons. In the previous seasons, he was suppressed so hard by the other party! This season, the old and new hatreds are counted together!! There are other teams that can win against the Pistons by one game. As a result, they are now the 7th team in the East......

The recent win over the Lakers made them a little more satisfied. But then there were two consecutive defeats. This time against the Grizzlies at home. Although quite a few players have watched the Grizzlies and Suns game coverage. But the current Memphis Grizzlies are a rebuilding team in their eyes!

No matter how good you are Zhou Yang, do you still have teammates like Kobe and Odom by your side? O'Neal has already gone to the Heat! Looks like they're going to win again! For such a form this season, the Pistons' hunger for victory seems stronger than anyone else. It's not strong, it's not going to work, it's almost squeezing out of the top eight in the east!

"The Pistons were also Eastern Conference champions last season. So we still have to pay attention to it. We're going to start training as soon as we get to the palace in Auburn Hills......," Jafaroni felt on the plane. He was afraid of the pride of the players after winning the Suns in the last game.

The current Grizzlies players have a strange feeling about Gasol Jr. After the team practiced, Zhou Yang and his students went to class. Mark stood in the bottom line distance proposed by Zhou Yang and watched there...... I don't know what he was looking at there......

Mark doesn't say much these days. He's fine, grabbing Lowry or Darko and Meme, and they're asking a lot of questions. As a teammate, although I have also heard rumors such as the conflict between him and Zhou Yang, everyone is still relatively amiable in the team. Especially the players who came over from the Lakers and the younger players on the team.

......

There were a lot of fans tonight! They want to see how their team, the Pistons, beat the Grizzlies! For Pistons fans, they still believe that their team can still make it to the Eastern Conference and make it to the Finals this season!

As for who the opponent is, it doesn't matter. But their Pistons are still going strong. It's just that the changes in the east are bigger this season.

"Look at the Grizzlies, there are so many young faces~" Rashid said with a smile as his teammates warmed up. This is their first game against the Grizzlies this season~

This team is a real problem in their eyes. Either what Jafaroni sometimes says becomes news, or the news of the conflict between Mark and Zhou Yang appears in the sports news on mobile phones.

Not long ago, I heard that Mark and their manager still have a lot of friction. For this reason, Jafaroni has banned little Gasol! The last game has just been reactivated~ How much power can a team like this have? The Pistons players want to laugh when they think about it!

A team that doesn't even understand its own internal handling is estimated to not be able to make the playoffs this season! And among the teams in the West, although there are also a few strong teams this season. But they don't have to worry because they compete against each other in the playoffs, and the team that can win in the end may have more hope of the Mavericks and Spurs.

The question before the Pistons should now be how to beat the Celtics...... They want to avoid teams like the Heat or the Cavaliers in the playoffs...... But judging by the current ranking, it seems to be difficult......

Today's Pistons lineup is McDyce, Rashid, Hamilton, Billups and Rodney. The starters on the Grizzlies' side are Mark, Meme, Zhou Yang, Miller, and Navarro!

In the last game, he did not complete the task assigned by Zhou Yang, so he was suspended from class once. This was the first time that Meme had not had a chance to attend class. Although the Daktronics is not finished...... But the absence of class made Meme uncomfortable. Darko found Meme to chat, and the two ended up watching NBA footage for an afternoon......

Not to mention that Darko and Mime had a good conversation. Maybe both Jeans had similar experiences. And Darko also chatted with Mime in the tone of talking to his seniors. This gives Mime a lot of satisfaction~

There is a big age gap between the two people. But they have all experienced times when they were talked about by the team. Mime's age is approaching retirement. And Darko is just getting started in the NBA.

But perhaps the difference is that Darko has received a lot of attention since he first entered the NBA! Although he was the top pick in 2003, although the champion that year was LeBron, and Anthony and Wade who were drafted in the same year seem to be more famous than him. But he's a role model after all!

Miller took the basketball first and quickly rushed to the frontcourt. Billups defends very seriously! After Zhou Yang got the basketball, he immediately hit the ground next to Hamilton and passed to Mime. The latter hit a jumper under Rashid's defense!

In tonight's game, he must get two numbers of "7"! Mim thought to himself in his heart! Although Zhou Yang said that the number of classes would not be small, he felt very uncomfortable not attending classes for a whole day! He's going to have to get back to class right away!

"Veteran players like the Grizzlies now can play a role, right? And that who, Fisher, came here from the Lakers. That's all the Grizzlies can do now. Their Miller and Guy are not bad, but after all, inexperienced or low-powered players still make up the majority! ”

Rashid didn't show much of it when he saw Mime score. He thinks Meme will be able to play more time with the Grizzlies. Rodney dribbled the ball across the half, Billups missed a three-pointer and Rashid got the basket between Gasol Jr. and Meme, and the layup was interfered with by Mark!

Zhou Yang got the rebound and quickly rushed across the halfcourt, and Miller picked up the basketball not long after he got up on the other side and hit a three-point jumper!

Jafaroni had already given enough attention to the Pistons at this point. He put Mark and Meme on the court at the same time, and Miller on the shooting guard position. The idea was to make the Grizzlies look as passive as possible at the start of the game.

But then Zhou Yang came again to score three points! 8:0! Maybe the fans at the scene didn't react. What's going on? At the beginning of the game, the opponent scored 8 points in a row. Hamilton's long-range 2-pointer is again missing!

When the basketball bounced to Miller, it caught the attention of the entire Pistons! This guy isn't going to have another three, is he?!

It didn't take long to get to the front court and Miller did it! But he threw a 2-point shot on the line! When the basketball smashed out of the basket, Mark rushed over quickly from behind, and came directly to make up the dunk! 10:0!

Coach Van Gundy, who came to the Pistons this season, was speechless at this time...... He kept thinking that it was just that the players didn't get used to playing against the Grizzlies for a while. They'll adjust right away.

At this time, the Pistons players are trying to control their emotions...... Which team hasn't had a good time yet...... Rashid took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Billups threw the ball over without even thinking about it!

Rashid, who took over the basketball, didn't go around with Meme a few times, and went straight to the jumper, and the basketball came out again after brushing two laps in the basket...... After Zhou Yang got the basketball directly, he rushed out under the bag of McDyce and Hamilton!

In the chase of the Pistons players, Zhou Yang quickly rushed to the front court, and not long after that, he made a quick stop jump shot and hit a 2-point shot from close range! Van Gundy was about to take a timeout......
