Chapter 269: Griffin's Change
Griffin dribbles, observing his teammates from time to time, but his expressions and movements are too obvious.
There's no way, his height is over there!
No matter how careful you are, those actions are very obvious.
And those actions were also seen by Li Ming.
He was directing Harris to make an air cut.
Li Ming leaned silently to Harris's side.
The latter was unaware of it, as he was communicating with Griffin.
Probably finally communicated!
He moved, straight inside, and Griffin passed the ball as if he had finally waited for his chance.
It looked like a successful cooperation, but between Harris and Griffin, Li Ming's smiling face appeared, "I'm sorry!" The ball is mine. ”
Li Mingka's position was just right, and he was able to grasp the ball perfectly in his hand as soon as he raised his hand, and he didn't pause, rushing directly out of the bag of the Pistons outside the line who reacted quickly.
Perfectly formed a counterattack.
Li Ming's speed is so fast that the Pistons' outside can't catch up, let alone Griffin.
He didn't expect to chase, so he walked so slowly, just walking to his own penalty area, Li Ming had already walked from him to the Bulls' penalty area.
The goal was successfully scored, and it stands to reason that Griffin is fully responsible, and the best way is to use the way he is good at to get back on the field!
Griffin.... I want to get back on the field!
However, his position is still high!
He's also on the high bar!
Saying that you don't want to leave, it's the feeling of dying in a high position...
Continuing to dribble awkwardly, it's hard to imagine a high post power forward being able to wipe out two guards.
But that's what happened, and the fundamental reason the Pistons made the trade was to improve the defense and impact of the interior.
But as things stand, the impact and defense haven't grown, and they're in more trouble on the outside.
However, the head coach of the Pistons still trusts Griffin very much, because in the first few games when Griffin first came to the Pistons, the Pistons won six in a row, and with this impact, he believes that Griffin can bring something different to the Pistons!
It's a pity that Griffin has always had problems, and the head coach of the Pistons hasn't understood it yet, he does have a drive and a drive not to admit defeat.
But that momentum and drive never lasted.
More often than not, he just showed that spirit in a few games. Other times, he often loses himself and loses himself!
Just like now, he still doesn't recognize his mistakes, and is still in a high position, using awkward dribbling and obvious command to carry out self-righteous tactics.
And this time Li Ming still seized the opportunity...
It was another successful steal, but the fast break didn't come to fruition, as the Pistons' guard line learned their lesson and stepped back early.
It was as if they had resigned themselves to their fate, and no longer trusted Griffin's command and response skills.
That's why most of the Pistons' victories later had nothing to do with Griffin, and whether he played well or badly didn't have a fundamental impact on the team.
The team's play is back to the way it used to be, it's still a combination of inside and outside, and their core is still Reggie Jackson plus Smith, and the cornerstone of the interior is Drummond.
The three of them are the fundamental reason why the Pistons can win, and they are also the future of this team!
The game continued in the first quarter.
failed to attack twice in a row, and was successfully tackled twice by Li Ming, and did not let the Pistons head coach replace Griffin.
But Smith dribbled the ball to the front court, and no matter how much Griffin asked for the ball, he didn't give it to him anymore.
After all, this score is not easy to chase, if he continues to be in trouble, the first quarter of the game is over, I am afraid this game will become garbage time.
They are in the midst of a rundown for the playoffs, and to be honest, they are playing pretty well before the Griffin trade, finishing ninth and tenth in the East. It's only four or five wins away from finishing eighth in the playoffs. With the All-Star Game not even going on and three or four games left throughout the regular season. This kind of difference will not make them feel bad! and, on the contrary, they have a lot of hope!
Griffin didn't get the ball and had a helpless look on his face.
He still wanted to prove what he was capable of, but he could see that his teammates no longer trusted him. He's going to try to play with his teammates, even if he's on the side of the arrow. It's a shame that even when he was in a good position, the rest of the Pistons didn't look at him.
This made him a little annoyed! If it's with the Clippers, no matter how many times he makes a mistake in front of him, as long as he asks for the ball, he can get the ball. But now, the huge contrast makes his psychology not easy to say, and his enthusiasm for playing has suddenly disappeared by half!
I don't know if it was luck or really providence, the Pistons actually scored the ball in this offense without Griffin's cooperation.
The audience could finally hear the sound of excitement. This embarrassed Griffin, who didn't play any role at all.
It also made the head coach of the Pistons, who had been watching from the sidelines, feel a little loose on his face, and he was considering whether Griffin still had the need to stay on the court.
But it was just one round and he couldn't see much, so he didn't immediately call a timeout to adjust the lineup!
He still wanted to give Griffin some chances!
So he personally signaled on the sidelines for Smith to give Griffin a chance to catch the ball.
As a player who finally came out of the draft and finally got the starting position, they have a natural reverence for the head coach, which has nothing to do with how many years of contract he signed, in their opinion, it was the head coach who gave them the opportunity to play, and this love must be repaid, so he gave the ball to Griffin, even if the latter had no effect at all before, but it also affected the overall offensive rhythm of the Pistons, but the head coach asked for it, and he passed the ball without saying a word!
Griffin managed to get the ball again.
He also understands that this is the chance given to him by the manager, and he knows very well that this is the last chance the manager gives him, and if he doesn't play seriously, then there is a good chance that he will be replaced.
So he didn't respond to this ball or do some work as a defender, he hit the back twice very skillfully, and then turned to face Mirotic who defended him, and directly carried the latter to the inside...
