Chapter 211: Junior Potential Enhancement Card

Playing the Clippers away, Qiao Hai asked the team to pay more attention to Lamar Odom, and there was no other special arrangement.

Playing the Clippers, a team at the bottom of the West, Qiao Hai doesn't need to be so careful.

The only point of threat for the Clippers is Lamar Odom, as long as Odom is choked, the Clippers will have no threat, so the Grizzlies still have to practice tactics in this game.

"We started with an increase in speed, more running, an impact on the inside, and a man-to-man ...... on the defensive end."

Quite simply, after talking about the opening style of play, Qiao Hai let five starters.

Five starters, point guard Mike Bibby, scoring guard Maddy, small forward Sean Marion, power forward Raheem and center Brad Miller, Joe Hai gave Rahim enough trust, Raheem started when he returned, obviously, Raheem wants to prove that Joe Hai's trust in him is worth it with his performance.

On the Clippers' side, there are five starters, point guard Troy Hudson, scoring guard Derrick Anderson, small forward Lamar Odom, power forward Anthony Evante, and center Michael Olowokandy.

Two-year parallel importer Olovo Candy stood on the center circle and jumped with Brad Miller.

These two people, one is the champion, the other is the undrafted rookie, the status of the draft is very different, and now, the status of the two of them is also very different, the difference is that the two of them have fallen one by one.

One is barely a starter in the bottom team, and the other has been the tactical core of the top two teams in the West, and the data of the two is not much different, Olovo Candy averages 9.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, Brad Miller also averages 11.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, but Brad Miller's contribution to the team is positive, and Oloo Candy is more like a negative, which shows from the side that sometimes the data can deceive.

The two jumped the ball and Olovokandi won.

In the opening, the Clippers' offense, as the bottom team in the league, the Clippers' offense was disorganized, Troy Hudson controlled the frontcourt, and Lamar Odom received the ball.

In recent years, the Clippers have been in rebuilding mode, and every year they have lottery picks, but every year they draft rookies that are embarrassing, such as the '96 Golden Generation, who drafted Lorenzen White with the No. 7 pick, a blue-collar interior lineman, who was traded to the Hawks this season, has been abandoned.

In order to select Lorenzen White, they Kobe, Peja, Nash and other players who have already played famous at this time.

In '97, they drafted Morris Taylor with the No. 14 pick, and the rookie selected in '98 was Olowo Kandi, who was playing against Brad Miller at this time, and that year's list was the Grizzlies' current starting point guard Mike Bibby, and the Clippers also missed the All-Star vote this season's King Vince Carter, and further back, Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce also played famous this season.

The draft can be blind to such a team, Qiao Hai is the first time to see it.

It is precisely because the Clippers draft is blind that they have no one available, and they don't even have too many rookies to cultivate, and Odom, who was selected by the No. 4 pick, is naturally reused, Odom has played well, averaging 16.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game so far this season.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, Sean Marion, who was selected by the No. 5 pick, played no worse than Odom, with similar rebounds, slightly fewer assists, and similar steals and blocks, so the score is naturally lower.

But as mentioned earlier, the numbers can deceive, Marion gets much less balls than Odom, and secondly, Marion's contribution to the team is concentrated on the defensive end, so to speak, Marion is the defensive backbone of the Grizzlies.

Coupled with the fact that the Grizzlies have a good record and the Clippers have a bad record, it is natural that Marion's overall performance is better.

Therefore, before the game, the title of the media for the preview of this game is - No. 4 rookie vs. No. 5 rookie!

Who loses and who wins?

Journalists, pundits and fans disagree, but the predictions of most pundits and fans are that Sean Marion wins the game and Lamar Odom wins the stats.

Overall, Marion is still underestimated, and the Grizzlies win the game, does it need to be said? In fact, the focus of the pre-match debate is who has more beautiful statistics between Marion and Odom, and media reporters, experts and fans are more optimistic about Odom.

Marion held his breath to prove himself.

On the court, Odom singled, Marion defended against the position, and in the first attack of the opening, Marion used all his strength, stretched out his arms, and wrapped Odom.

Marion's defense is pressing, which Odom has never encountered, and the media hyped the duel between the two before the game, and Odom also disdained it, thinking that his statistics are better than Marion, Marion is just a blue-collar worker, and he is going to be an All-Star in the future.

This disdain was reflected in the opening, Odom singled, did not exert all his strength when he came up, controlled the ball in two steps, and wanted to break through, only to find that Marion had locked him.

As a last resort, Odom turned around and continued to be blocked by Marion.

In desperation, Odom glanced at his teammates and could only pass the ball out.

On the wing, Derrick Anderson received the ball, and with three seconds left on the offensive time, he shot directly from the outside three-pointer, and with a bang, missed.

Raheem grabbed the rebound with his mask on, and reflexively rushed to the frontcourt.

also found an opportunity to pass the ball to Maddie, who was running in front.

Maddie received the ball, the opening was an opportunity to counterattack and break fast, of course he had to seize it, one foot into the three-point line, the other foot quickly stepped away, held the ball in both hands, took two steps in a row, and the last step, hit the floor heavily, held the ball in one hand with his right hand, sent forward, past Derrick Anderson's defense, and sent the ball to the basket.

2:0! The Grizzlies scored first.

It was the Clippers' offense again, Odom got the ball again, this time, he still encountered Marion's tough defense, and looked for a long time to find an opportunity, Odom was stunned and couldn't find it, so he could only continue to pass.

Odom has a nickname for the left-handed magician, but he doesn't think it's a shame to pass the ball in one-on-one singles, and if he can brush up on assists, it will be the best.

But the rest of the Clippers didn't seem to be too good, this time it was Troy Hudson who picked up the ball, took the ball and made a breakaway jumper in front of Mike Bibby.

Bang, still missed.

The Grizzlies grabbed the rebound again, and parallel center Olowo Kandi played aggrieved, he was stuck by Brad Miller, and he couldn't grab the rebound at all, and he could only watch the Grizzlies players collect the rebounds every time.

This time it was Maddy, who rushed to the basket and jumped to her feet to take the rebound with ease.

Then the turn was another fast-break counterattack.

The Clippers' defense didn't have time to react, only two players in the backcourt retreated, Maddy rushed to the penalty area, jumped up, attracted the defense of Troy Hudson and Derrick Anderson, the lion shook his head and passed the ball to the other side, Mike Bibby jumped lightly, threw the basketball into the basket, 4:0.

On the court, it was the Clippers' offense again, and this time it was Lamar Odom who got the ball.

passed the ball twice in a row, this time Odom passed the ball more crisply, Marion's defense was so dead, he was a bachelor, and he directly became the organizer and organized the attack.

Derrick Anderson and Troy Hudson ran for a while, Odom saw the opportunity, passed the ball to the free throw line, and made a ground-hitting pass, Derrick Anderson just ran to this position, received the ball and rushed two steps, a layup, and the Clippers finally scored!

Odom also waved his hand excitedly, and he also had an assist in this wave of attacks.

Marion's face turned black, he wasted so much effort, and Odom couldn't play alone, who would have thought that Odom couldn't be prevented from brushing assists?

When he came back to attack, Marion wanted to return the ball.

In the frontcourt, Maddy took the ball, and Brad Miller came to a pick-and-roll, and went straight to the basket.

On the other side, Marion gritted his teeth, changed the established running route, and also rushed to the basket, but his route under the basket happened to be the other side, staggering with Maddy, and the Clippers' defense was naturally a more threatening Maddie.

In a hurry, Maddie glanced up at the other side, saw Marion, and immediately threw the ball to the outside of the basket on the other side.

Marion also reacted quickly, knowing that Maddie was going to cooperate with him in an air connection, so he jumped up, took the basketball in the air, and reflexively backhanded a violent dunk, clang, violent dunk!

The force of this violent dunk was extremely powerful, and Marion held back his strength, and under the huge force, the basket creaked, as if it was about to collapse, and it also reminded the Staples fans at home of the basket and basket that O'Neal had broken.

At 6:2, Sean Marion, who completed the empty catch, immediately came to a passionate roar, and high-fived Maddie, who gave the assist, it can be seen that Marion is indeed holding back his strength.

Qiao Hai on the sidelines smiled and instructed Byron Scott: "Byron, tell the court to increase Sean's ball possession." ”

Byron Scott nodded, he also understood Qiao Hai's thoughts.

The Grizzlies have played so many games, and Byron Scott can be seen that Qiao Hai is a coach who likes the beauty of adults.

The Grizzlies played the Celtics, and Qiao Hai came to the beauty of adulthood, starting Chauncey Billups, and gave Billups enough possession, so that Billups played his best performance since joining the Grizzlies against his old club.

The Grizzlies played the Raptors too, and Maddie was put in the No. 3 position by Qiao Hai and directly opposite Carter, which allowed Maddie to get what he wanted and be able to prove himself in front of his cousin.

This time playing the Clippers, Qiao Hai saw Sean Marion's full of fighting spirit, Qiao Hai gave Marion enough ball, I have to say that the young Qiao Hai led the team with excellent results, and his ability to tame players is also top-notch, otherwise at the age of Qiao Hai's 24 years old, many players are older than Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai is not so easy to speak, but the reality is that Qiao Hai's team, Qiao Hai is what he says, this is the case in the Lakers, and even more so in the Grizzlies.

Qiao Hai's ability to make his players so obedient is naturally related to the fact that he thinks about his players all the time.

Now, for example, Marion is suddenly getting more of the ball, and Brad Miller and Maddie are both deliberately creating chances for Marion.

Princeton's personal threat to Gamady, Marion's chances are huge, and Raheem has just returned and is in average form, and the ball is concentrated on Marion almost all at once.

In the opening, the Grizzlies had the advantage, and Marion also made a series of shots.

In the first quarter, he scored 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, setting a new personal high for single-quarter scoring.

Marion is playing well, and his opponent Odom is naturally not happy.

At the end of the first quarter, Marion's statistics were 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, while Odom only scored 2 points in total, made 3 shots, and only scored 1 goal, plus 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the statistics were extremely bleak.

The Grizzlies also led the Clippers by 12 points at 33-21 in the first quarter.

Marion played well, but in the second quarter, Maddie left the court, and the Grizzlies played a dual-control combination, Marion continued to stay on the court, switching to the No. 4 position, and the No. 3 Grizzlies played Sammark, plus Rasius Nestelovic in the center position, this is all the players on the Grizzlies' second team.

Marion's opponent is still Odom, and like Marion, in the second quarter, Odom was also pushed to the No. 4 position and changed to play power forward.

So, in the second quarter, Odom still struggled to play his own offense, but Marion's offensive efficiency also declined, without Maddie to attract firepower, Marion's chances were sharply reduced, and in the entire second quarter, he only made 3 shots, scored 2 goals, and scored 4 more points.

At halftime, the Grizzlies led the Clippers by 16 points, 60-44.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies appeared again with the main force, attacking for half a quarter, expanding the difference to more than 20 points.

So far, Sean Marion has played two and a half quarters of the game, shooting 9 of 14, scoring 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, with all-round data and extremely high efficiency, and at the same time suppressing Odom, who also played two and a half quarters of the game, only got 6 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance was completely abnormal.

Marion swiped a good stat and left the game satisfied.

Odom can't do it, after a few minutes of rest, Odom reappeared, although it was garbage time, but in the name of training rookies and training himself, Odom still brushed up the data in garbage time.

In the second half of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter, Odom brushed his data to a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and left the game satisfied.

However, after the game, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Marion won this matchup.

Marion scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in just two and a half quarters, and his efficiency was much higher, and his shooting percentage in this game was even as high as 64.3%.

On the other hand, Odom, who played almost the entire game, only scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the first two and a half quarters, and Marion left the court before he brushed 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in a row, turning his data into a quasi-triple-double.

And it was extremely inefficient, shooting only 43.8% on 7-of-16 shooting in the game, in addition to 4 turnovers.

Therefore, this battle between the No. 4 rookie and the No. 5 rookie ended with the No. 5 rookie winning completely.

The Grizzlies won by 22 points, and Raheem also scored a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds in the first game of his comeback.

After playing the Clippers, the Grizzlies won 10 consecutive wins, and Qiao Hai's achievements and abilities no longer need much praise, but leading the team to win 10 consecutive wins, it is inevitable that the North American media still began their crazy touting.

ESPN: "Leading two different teams to 10+ consecutive wins, Qiao Hai has a bright future!" ”

Sports Illustrated: "A new cardinal has appeared – Joe! ”

Yahoo Sports: "The highest career winning streak is 14 consecutive wins, this time, where will Qiao Hai's winning streak stop?" ”

Even the newly established HOOP Sports came to join in the fun, with the headline on the front page of the website: "10 wins in a row!" Grizzly bears swept Zhuhe, who is the opponent? ”

Qiao Hai looked at all kinds of helplessness, but this time with 10 consecutive wins, there are still gains.

He happily entered the system and received a new system prompt.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, completing the second 10-game winning streak of his career and reaching the milestone of 10 consecutive wins against two different teams and earning 1 dynasty point."

There was another dynasty point in the account, Qiao Hai hurriedly clicked this prompt, entered the system, entered the universal lottery page, and selected the lottery......

He hasn't drawn a lottery for a long time, there's no way, this system dynasty point is too rare, and it is already a lot to be able to draw four or five times in a season.

In this lottery, Qiao Hai was very nervous, and the sound of heavy breathing came out.

Finally, there was another ding, and the system prompted: "Ding, congratulations to the host, get ten primary potential improvement cards!" ”

"The primary potential improvement card, after use, can increase the potential value of the used player by 1 point, which can be used together."

Seeing the introduction, Qiao Hai immediately burst into foul language.

Isn't this primary potential enhancement card what he's always wanted?

Under Qiao Hai, many players need this potential improvement card, Maddie needs it, he is already a full value of 96 points, if three primary potential improvement cards are used on Maddie, then Maddie's potential value can reach 99 points, rummaging through the system, Qiao Hai only found one Jordan with a potential value of 99 points.

Doesn't this mean that Qiao Hai has created a new Michael Jordan out?

In addition to Maddie, this card is roughly needed.

In the past month or so, the general progress has been rapid, and it is already a total score of 69 points, close to the full value of 70 points, Qiao Hai naturally wants to give roughly a few junior potential improvement cards, so that he can continue to improve.

There is also Rahim, Qiao Hai has added iron-blooded traits to Rahim, but Rahim is still a little inconsistent with Qiao Hai's requirements after all, Qiao Hai thinks about whether to add a few potentials to Rahim, and then focus on practicing Rahim's defense and passing strategy, so that Rahim can perfectly adapt to the Grizzlies' system.

Therefore, Qiao Hai got 10 primary potential cards, and if you calculate carefully, it is still a bit insufficient.

After thinking about it, Qiao Hai felt that he had to think carefully about how to use these 10 primary potential cards.
