Chapter 143: Big Hat
This game seems to be just an ordinary regular season, but in fact, his significance has exceeded the significance of an ordinary regular season.
"In the NBA league, the Grizzlies' interior black and white bear combination is definitely one of the best, only in the face of this kind of opponent can you see the potential of a player, and Gobert is not Li Mojie, the team does not have so much patience to cultivate him, once he can't keep up with the growth rate of Li Mojie, then only a trade awaits him." Hornacek muttered from the sidelines in a voice that only he could hear.
"There are 5 minutes and 56 seconds left before the end of the game, and now the score on the court is 85:84, the Suns are one point ahead, this game is a defensive battle, and the shooting percentage of both sides is not very high, so today's focus is on the interior of both sides, it depends on which side can grab more rebounds and better defend the restricted area." Albert, the Suns' home commentator, said.
On the other side, on the Grizzlies bench, Dave Bridge Gore anxiously admonished: "From now on, we need an offensive success rate, a point of contention, you know?" We're going to try to win this game against the Suns, otherwise we're going to be too far from the playoffs. ”
"I see, leave it to us." Randolph said angrily, to be honest, he didn't look down on the new coach, but at this critical moment, he still didn't refute the coach's face.
"Hmm." Marc Gasol also nodded, to be honest, he was not in good shape this game, and it seems that he is still affected by injuries.
"With less than six minutes to go, how can we Phoenix manage to keep the lead until the end?" Albert asked, looking at Eddie Johnson.
"Well, now is the time to play the success rate, in other words, now it's up to which team's superstar can stand up, just like the Bulls back then, and at this critical moment, the ball must be handed over to Jordan." Eddie Johnson continued: "But that doesn't mean the rest of the Suns are watching, they also need to run, cover, block and then shoot decisively or break inside when they have a good shot. ”
"The Grizzlies are a traditional interior powerhouse, and they should be playing success now, and many fans say that the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score, which means that the Grizzlies have an advantage right now, what do you think about that?" Albert continued.
"Well, the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score. But it's impossible for interior players like Randolph and Marc Gasol to directly control the ball on the outside like Li Mojie and then score all the way? And there's always more space on the outside than on the inside, so it's relatively easy to defend on the inside, so I don't think the Grizzlies will have any advantage! Eddie Johnson said disapprovingly.
"So what do you think of Gobert's performance today? Are you satisfied? Is there anything else to look forward to? Albert asked.
"Today's game, to be honest, I'm very happy with Gobert's performance, and I can say that his performance is completely beyond his order." Eddie Johnson nodded.
"Oh? Satisfied? So how many points can you score out of 100? Albert asked.
"At least 85 points." Eddie Johnson said: "Well, he's done all the things that a good interior rookie would do, such as 8 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks like his current stats, and you can even give him a little higher points from a blue-collar interior perspective."
As for what else to look forward to, there is an example worth learning from around him, his fellow rookie Li Mojie scored 18 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in this game. Eddie Johnson said: "And if he wants to be a great player, then he needs to do more, and he has countless seniors in front of him for him to learn from, Mutombo, Howard, Bill Walton, Russell, ......."
Just as the two commentators were talking, the game started again.
Phoenix is still led by Li Mojie on the offense, Middleton and Gerard Green on the wing, Marcus Morris on the inside is responsible for pulling out and blocking, and Gobert is under the basket.
Li Mojie first tried a step-back shot after getting rid of it, but unfortunately the basketball hit the iron.
"Rebound!" The crowd shouted.
"Damn it!" This goal was stuck in the position because Marc Gasol was stuck first, and Gobert failed to scramble and could only retreat in time to make up for the loss.
"Go around, go around!" Seeing that the Grizzlies were going to attack, Hornacek immediately shouted from the sidelines, and he didn't need to look to know what tactics the Grizzlies would play next.
"Don't think about catching the ball." Marcus Morris, who replaced his brother as the big forward, has seen off the court how badly his brother Markieff was blown up by this big black bear, so he didn't dare to slack off and actively went around.
"This guy!" Randolph gasped and tried to get rid of Marcus again and again, but was firmly blocked by Marcus, and if it was at the beginning of the game, Randolph naturally would not have taken him seriously. But now it's the final quarter, the 32-year-old Randolph is currently the Grizzlies' most playing time, has played 33 minutes, plus he is still the Grizzlies' first offensive option, dragging 260 pounds of weight He has gradually exhausted his physical strength in the interior offense, while the opposite Marcus is full of energy at the same time, and the two sides have gradually stood on the same running line.
Seeing that Randolph was defended by Marcus at all costs, Mike Conley, who will get a five-year $153 million contract in the future, and small forward substitute Mike Miller made a block and entered the interior, while Marc Gasol was smart at this time to pull out from the inside.
"What should I do?" Gobert is faced with a choice at this time, if he goes to make up for Mike Conley, then Marc Gasol will leak, and Marc Gasol has the ability to shoot, if he doesn't make up for the defense, then Mike Conley will break through Gerald Green and make a layup.
said that it was too late, Gobert still chose to make up the defense, although he was very tired now, but he chose to hold McConley first, as for Marc Gasol's mid-range shot? Layups are always better than shots!
"Mark!" ESPN describes Mike Conley as a true point guard, with clear organization and excellent shooting. He usually prioritizes passing, but when it's time for him to score, he never disappoints you. He delivered enough shells to the two big men around him (Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph), and he was able and willing to do so.
Sure enough, Mike Conley chose to pass, and Marc Gasol did not choose to shoot after receiving the ball, because his shooting percentage was not high in this game, so he decisively chose to make a layup after seeing Gobert being attracted away.
"Mark be careful!" At this time, the Grizzlies players on the sidelines shouted.
"Huh? Someone told me to be careful, but there was no one on the inside line? Marc Gasol was strange, but he understood it right away.
A large white hand suddenly appeared behind him.
"Marc Gasol is ready for a layup, Gobert is quickly returning to defense, is he still in time? Is he still in time? Oh my God, he made it! Our inside pillar succeeded in giving the intruder a big slap! Eddie Johnson excitedly shouted that dunks and blocks are always the things on the basketball court that can stimulate adrenaline secretion the most.
