"Phew, the December game is finally over." With the Suns beating the in-form Clippers on the road on December 30, 2013, Li Mojie finally wrapped up his 2013 campaign and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could rest for a few days, on January 2, 2014, Li Mojie once again faced the Memphis Grizzlies who had beaten them at home.

Suns starting lineup: Ramon Sessions, Chris Middleton, Lee Mojab, Markieff Morris, Rudy Gobert.

Grizzlies starting lineup: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Tyshawn Prince, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol.

A whistle blew and the basketball was thrown into the air.

Because Gobert performed well against the 76ers, scoring 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, Hornacek let Gobert continue to start this game.

In the jump ball, Rudy Gobert did not live up to Hornacek's expectations, preemptively slapping the ball towards Ramon Sessions with a flick of his fingers on the head of the Spanish big white bear.

In this game, Eric Bledsoe was unable to play due to a knee injury, and Ramon Sessions was substituted as the starter. Although Ramon Sessions is not strong in breakthrough ability compared to Bledsoe, and his defense is relatively poor. But he's a true pitch commander who can get everyone involved in the attack, execute the tactics the coach has given him, and rarely make mistakes.

This is where Hornacek sees him, and he can reduce the pressure on Lee Mojab's attack.

Seeing his teammates get the ball, Li Mojie hurriedly ran forward.

At the beginning of the game, Li Mojie did not need to organize the attack, pay attention to the running position of his teammates, and his task now is very simple, which is to score and score again.

As soon as he ran to the frontcourt, Sessions immediately passed the ball to Li Mojie.

Seeing Li Mojie get the ball, Tyshawn Prince hurriedly came up to mark the defense.

"What's the rookie? Is it you again? In the last game, the former Pistons Five Tigers, with so much defensive experience that the little prince Prince Prince made Li Mojie's defense disgraced, he didn't believe that Li Mojie was ready to single him again this time, so he mocked.

But this time facing Prince, Li Mojie still chose to play singles.

Because that's his prerogative! In his rookie season, even if he makes mistakes, the team will forgive him, because this is a season that has allowed him to grow!

However, Li Mojie used his speed to force Prince's pull-up jump shot, and the iron hit with a "bang", and the ball smashed into the basket and bounced out.

Marc Gasol immediately stuck in position, stuck Gobert behind him, and then the big black bear Zach Randolph jumped up and grabbed the rebound with one hand. Gobert smacked his chest in exasperation, then quickly backed away.

Seeing this scene, Hornacek smiled, this is the Grizzlies' inside black and white duo, a well-known hard bone in the West, even the Spurs' stone Buddha has been broken by this hard bone, not to mention the immature Gobert?

Offense and defense switched, and the Grizzlies' offense unfolded quickly.

The Grizzlies are one of the very few teams in the NBA league that has an interior offense at its core.

Facing Ramon Sessions, McConley didn't choose to go it alone, but passed the ball to Zach Randolph on the inside.

This black fat man, who has traveled to many places and is considered by many teams to be a cancer brush, faced with Markieff's defense, Randolph showed a back-to-back singles skill that did not match his appearance at all.

With his back against Markieff, he hit continuously, advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area, and then suddenly turned around and jumped. When Markieff reacted and jumped up to block, the ball's already crossed fingers flew to the basket.

The crisp sound of wiping the net caused a burst of cheers from the Grizzlies bench.

Watching Randolph's singles succeed, Hornacek shouted at the players on the court, "Markieff put more pressure on the opponent, don't let the opponent score on your head easily." And Gobert, don't watch from the sidelines, you have a lot of tasks in this game, you have to use your excellent mobility while watching Gasol, you have to help him defend more, understand? ”

"Now let me see if you're the Howard we're looking for, right?" Hornacek said in his heart that he did it on purpose, he could have arranged for Li Mojie to enter the interior to assist in defense in this game, but he didn't do it, he had decided to let Gobert play this game until his physical strength was exhausted, just to let the defensive powerhouse Grizzlies be a litmus test to see if the Suns' No. 27 rookie is scrap iron or gold!

Hearing the head coach's advice, Gobert's face was solemn, he naturally also looked at Van Gundy's evaluation of him, and also noticed that the team valued him recently.

"Being the heart of the Suns' defense? Of course I do! Goebel swore in his heart.

When he received the ball in the front court, Li Mojie made a gesture, and Markieff instantly understood and hurried out to block and dismantle.

Li Mojie used the cover to shake off Prince and break inside, and Gasol hurriedly made up for it.

Li Mojie suddenly jumped up and threw the ball directly into the air.

Li Mojie's throw was completely out of the Grizzlies players.

It's impossible to score!

Just as the Grizzlies players were puzzled, a white figure jumped high in the restricted area, received the ball, and dunked with one hand.

A perfect aerial relay dunk!

Gobert tugged at the basket so hard that the entire hoop creaked and shook violently.

After landing, Gobert yelled excitedly and high-fived each other as he ran back.

"Well done!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

Switching offense and defense, Gasol Jr. and Gobert fiercely fought for the card position in the penalty area.

Randolph received the ball again on the inside, and this time Gobert ran to Randolph for the first time.

Randolph quickly passed the ball back into Conley's hands, and Conley crossed it into the hands of Tony Allen in the open space.

At this time, Li Mojie hurriedly helped Middleton to make up the defense, and Tony Allen passed the ball to Prince.

"Prince's three-point shot, there it is!"

Seeing that everyone in the Suns team actively made up for the defense, but was still found by the opposite side to score the ball, the Suns will inevitably be a little depressed.

Li Mojie shouted: "Guys, don't care about the result of this defense, the game has just begun, we are now serious about defending!" ”

"Rookie, you think you're already the boss of the team? How about three points just now? Isn't it cool? Prince watched as Lee Mojie encouraged his teammates and stepped up to the defense.

"Hehe, old bird, do you have the ball? I'm not like you, I've been a role player all my life, look at what a superplanet is! "Li Mojie doesn't need to respect anyone on the field, he just wins the game, so he doesn't care if his trash talk hurts people or not!

I saw Li Mojie use his back to put Princeka behind him, and stretched out his right hand to catch Middleton's pass steadily.

Hold the ball in both hands in front of your chest and your back directly against Prince.

The back of the force slammed backwards, feeling Prince's strength and physical resistance.

With a bang, Prince stepped back only slightly.

The two men are about the same weight, and Prince is about two centimeters taller than Li Mojie, but the 32-year-old has already developed his static strength.

Li Mojie knew that he couldn't push the inside line by relying on his strength alone, so he turned to face Prince and singled in the face frame.

The hands holding the ball suddenly flicked to the right, the right foot lifted off the ground, and the whole body leaned to the right, as if to break to the right.

But the lifted right foot kicked the floor hard, and then this rebound, Li Mojie's body suddenly to the left.

At the same time, the ball lands on the ground and breaks through from the left with a rapid dribble.

"Rookie, it's not so easy for me to break through!" The experienced Prince was not fooled and hurriedly slid sideways to the left.

A smile flashed at the corner of Li Mojie's mouth, and just after he wanted to take a step to the left, the ball dribbling in his left hand suddenly pulled back to his right hand, and a cross dribble turned Prince, who had lost his center of gravity, past him and entered the inside line.

Prince's defense was a complete failure.

At this time, Randolph pounced from the side, and Li Mojie noticed that he was decisive and made a quick stop jump shot before Randolph arrived.

The ball landed steadily into the basket with a beautiful glide, sending waves through the waves. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
