The Memphis Grizzlies are strong because of their wholeness. Their head coach used to be the Spurs' defensive coach Hawley, and he was also seen by the Grizzlies owner of the potential, so he was directly corrected after poaching.

Because their recruitment that season was too unsuccessful, and they were even ridiculed for going directly to the lotto area, and after Hawley took the position, no one thought that this grandfather-level coach with only assistant coaching experience could do anything.

But the Grizzlies' performance immediately slapped all the so-called critics who looked down on them in the face, and all the fans seemed to see the intensity of the ancient defensive lineup in the game.

Purdue, a black center who was criticized for being slow and stupid in the past, seems to have been reborn in Hawley's hands. And his movement speed is indeed very slow, and he looks stupid and stupid, but his lateral movement and defensive awareness are better than most of the league's interior lines.

Even if John Purdue doesn't have any hard accolades, even if he ranks in the top three in the selection of best defensive players all year round, it's a pity that he is too low-key to win no awards.

However, coach Hawley praised the direct core in front of the media more than once, which also made him an All-Star. But overall, he is definitely underrated.

plus a 1.97-meter big forward Doge, although his height is not good, and his bounce is not dazzling. But this guy has a weird sense of rebounding, with long hands and long feet like Rodman, a big worm back then, although the offense is slightly worse, regardless of the rebounding ability, it is enough to make people shine.

Any team that plays defense, counterattack, or fast break is doomed to lose if they can't control the rebound. In addition, everyone is playing fast in the current game, and anyone will not be comfortable when they suddenly encounter a Grizzlies team that is as slow as an old cow.

The old coach Hawley is actually the kind of representative who magnifies one of the team's characteristics to the extreme. Although there are no superstars, even the stars are dim. But no team in the league would ignore their presence.

Whether it's the Golden State Warriors or the equally strong defense, the Grizzlies have been the spoilers in the West since Hawley entered the team.

And when they trailed 3-0 in the Western Conference semifinals last season and then nearly beat the defending champion Golden State Warriors in three straight games, everyone began to appreciate the Grizzlies' defensive art.

In addition to these two defenses and rebounding heavy weapons on the inside. The three players surrounding the Grizzlies' frontcourt are also strong defensively. The small forward is 2.03 meters, but the big fat Op weighs nearly 120 kilograms. What's even more amazing is that the weight of such a beating did not affect his athletic ability.

Although everyone felt that if Opken controlled his weight, he would play a better game. It's just that on the Grizzlies team, an Op who can defend the No. 3, 4, and 5 positions is obviously more useful.

Hawley doesn't mind Opp's overweight, on the contrary, he likes players who can make the most of their size. Opp has no three-point ability at all, but that doesn't mean he's not a master of scoring.

If Zhang Yi is the kind of person who has both offense and defense, speed, explosiveness, and everything that everyone wants to see, then Aopu is definitely different. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, and he can also be said to be selfish.

But no matter what others say, he always has a convincing performance. A game with more than 20 points, plus a dozen rebounds, and maybe even a few steals and a few assists......

If Dogg is the modern-day Rodman, then Op is the new-generation Fliggy Charles Barkley. In addition, the two heights of the back line are not too high, but the defense actively fights for players who are like vicious dogs.

The Grizzlies' starting five-man team is a nightmare for other teams, and to put it mildly, the opponent is like a child in front of this gang of villains, even if they are big and strong.

The Lakers are well aware of the opponent's routine, especially head coach Wacker, who was taught a lesson by such a pure meat shield player and defensive team when he was a player, so he can be regarded as very insightful.

Zhang Yi's advantage in this game is definitely still a key factor. It's just that it's really hard to say whether he can play under Oppe's defense, after all, even the experienced Zhang Yi has probably never encountered such a defender.

Wacker also gave him a shot before the kick-off. Although the injuries in the game are uncontrollable, Zhang Yi, as the most critical factor in the Lakers' revival, must not be unexpected.

The same goes for the rest of the players, Gianna has managed to get such a good roster for the Lakers, and Wacker doesn't want any major injuries due to a high-intensity game.

After all, they are not a team like the Golden State Warriors or the New York Knicks, and they will be afraid of injuries if they lack foundation. Who can say that if Zhang Yi falls one day, the Lakers will fall directly back to the lottery from the first place in the West.

It's all conceivable. Wacker isn't afraid to take on a team like the Golden State Warriors right now, because the opponent just needs to watch out for a few bad guys, but the Grizzlies? I'm sorry, but from the starter to the bench, every player has a history of hurting.

They're like a bunch of bad guys in jerseys, and if they haven't been in jail, in the words of the basketball court, haven't been ejected outright, or injured an opponent, that player will be looked down upon by the rest of the Grizzlies.

Hawley has definitely caused a big problem for the Alliance, but fortunately the current healing technique has improved. But it's clear that the more this is the case, the lower the cost of hurting people.

It's been a long time since the usual season payouts have come to the league, but the Grizzlies are still making vicious moves. No matter how hard the league's whistle blows, their tricks leave no trace like trained killers.

As soon as the Los Angeles Lakers appeared on the Grizzlies' home court, they had cold-blooded eyes from the players to the audience. It's as if this is not a place to play basketball, but an execution ground, and the prisoners who are ready to be shot are all the Lakers.

Zhang Yi is also one of the players who are most concerned by the players here. Because for them, these superstars are the best military medals. If you can knock this arrogant rookie down in the game, even if it is the price of being expelled from the game, I am afraid that you will enjoy the warmest applause in the audience.

"What's going on with them?" "All criminals! Yi, you have to be careful. Because in a neighborhood like ours where people grew up, yellow-skinned people are always the target of bullying......"

Hearing Robert's words, Zhang Yi knew that his brother was by no means a talker. In the American community, as he said, this kind of discrimination is in the blood.

The eyes of the Grizzlies' five killer players did fall on Zhang Yi, which also made Wacker very nervous standing on the sidelines. If he had played on the court instead of Zhang Yi, I'm afraid Wacker would have been happy.

Hawley has white hair, but he is not kind at all. On the contrary, the smart short hair and hooked nose make people feel that standing here is not the head coach, but the boss of some gang......
