The game between the Grizzlies and the Magic not only attracted the attention of countless fans across the United States, but also because of Ding Mo'an and Dwight before the game. Howard's-for-tat war of words with O.J. Mayo, and a rare scene in basketball history where hundreds of thousands of fans surrounded the Magic bus. The attention to the Grizzlies game even surpassed the Rockets game with Yao Ming.

And this summer, Ding Moan took the Memphis Grizzlies back to China to play the game, and the terrifying popularity he showed also made CCTV5 buy the broadcast rights of the Grizzlies from the NBA without hesitation, and put the Grizzlies on the same level as the Rockets in China.

"The starting lineup of the Grizzlies in this game, frontcourt veteran Darius. Myers, Kevin. Lefou, Ding Mo'an in the backcourt, Mike. Conley, center Mark. Gasol. The host Yu Jia read the starting lineup of the Grizzlies in this game, and wondered: "Coach Zhang, the Grizzlies played, Milicic and Kyle. Lowry didn't make the starting lineup, so what did head coach Hollins think? ”

Yu Jia's doubts are reasonable. In the last game, the strange lineup replaced by Hollins forced to cooperate with the core Ding Mo'an, and completed the mid-shot goal before the game to kill the game. It stands to reason that against the Magic, who are no weaker than the Rockets, shouldn't Hollins send a stronger lineup?

Zhang Reasonable Guidance revealed, an expression that you don't understand, and said with a smile: "In the last game, Hollins won the game with this lineup. But the Grizzlies are now on thin ground and are entering a rebuild in their first year. The strength of the rotation lineup is still downstream in the NBA, and it is precisely these rotation players who lost such a big lead in the last game, but made the Rockets reverse by ten points. ”

"The strength of the Magic is no worse than that of the Rocket. Although Dwight. Howard is not very good in front of our big Yao, but for the other 29 teams, it is difficult to limit. Director Zhang couldn't help but show a proud look, indeed, before Ding Mo'an was born, Yao Ming was the pride of all Chinese people. But now this pride has more Ding Mo'an.

And Magic signed Rashad this year. Lewis, the second master, for Dwight. Not to mention that Howard has found a good helper, their bench lineup is indeed stronger than that of the Grizzlies. While Coach Zhang was doing lineup analysis for domestic fans, the Magic's starting lineup also came out.

However, the starting lineup of the Magic team is not unexpected, and there is no change of formation. Like Stan Van Gundy's coaching philosophy, very stubborn. And this starting lineup is also the strongest lineup of the Magic team: Rashad in the frontcourt. Lewis, Siddo. Turkoglou, OJ Mayo, Jamil. Nelson, center Dwight. Howard.

So when the starters of both teams stood on the court, the game was announced to be officially started, and the referee stood in the middle circle with the basketball in his arms, jumped the ball in the middle circle, raised the basketball high, and then held the whistle in one hand and blew it at the same time, and threw the basketball high. Mark, who was already standing in the jumping ball circle. Gasol, Dwight. Howard, when he saw the basketball flying in the air, also jumped immediately.

However, Mark. Gasol lost in this jump ball. Mainly, his opponent, Dwight. Howard's physical fitness is really comparable to that of Warcraft, and the frequency and speed of jumping on the spot are better than that of Mark. Gasol is fast and high. Hence Dwight. Howard relied on his better bounce and speed than Marc Gasol to shoot the basketball first.

The Magic team, who won the opening jump ball, immediately started the first attack. Possession of the ball was the Magic's starting point guard, Jameel. Nelson. Jamil. Nelson may not be very well-known in the league, but it cannot be denied that this one-meter-eighty-three tall man is the same as Kyle. Lowry is a similar type of small point guard and is a solid guard.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to start the team in the Magic, a strong team in the league. But Mike. Conley is miserable, his body and physical fitness are in the No. 1 position, he can only be regarded as an ordinary him. Lowry is a small tank like Jamil. Nielsen suffered.

After all, in tonnage, in physical confrontation, Mike. Conley really wasn't a black and hard opponent. So, Jamil. Nelson relied on his tonnage to be very steady and easy, and possessed the ball to the half. However, compared with the Rockets, a team with Yao Ming, who pays attention to the strategy of the point guard hanging the ball inside and handing it over to the interior to attack with a strong point, the Magic team is more unrestrained.

All in all, Jamil. Nelson beckoned, Dwight. Howard, the boss of the team, has to run from the inside to the high post quickly and block for him. This also has to do with the team's head coach, Stan. Van Gundy gave Dwight. Howard's tactical positioning is related. Stan. Van Gundy for Dwight. Howard is positioned as an interior gatekeeper, a pick-and-roll, and a rebounder. The offense is based on secondary boards and physicality.

Actually, Stan. Van Gundy couldn't help it, Dwight. Howard doesn't have a good low-post technique like Yao Ming, and often just relies on the physical fitness of a monster to play, or teammates to feed the ball. Such a center who can only play with his body, isn't it a death for you to let him attack independently?

So see Jamil on the outside. Nelson cordially beckoned to block the pick-and-roll, Dwight. Howard obediently came to the high position like a puppy wagging his tail and replaced Jamil. Nelson blocks Mike. Conley. And Dwight. After Howard's blocking, the Grizzlies, who were slow to change defense on the inside, inevitably had a hole in slow defensive conversion.

Mark. Gasol until Jamil. Nelson drove to the free-throw line with the ball and was able to use his long reach to catch up with the fast little guard. Looking at Mark. Gasol's clumsy speed, Hollins couldn't help frowning. This is the last thing he wants to see, because in the past games, this hole will be infinitely magnified.

This is also the case with Mark. The only thing Gasol needs to solve right now is what he needs to solve. And Ding Mo'an, who often helps him wipe his Pi shares, can't help him anymore at this time. Because he is now entangled with OJ Mayo, after all, it is definitely impossible for OJ Mayo to let go of Ding Mo'an, the enemy, and give this enemy the opportunity to easily assist in defense.

Without Ding Moan's assistance, Mark. Gasol faces Jamil. Nielsen is bound to suffer. Jamil. Nelson also knows about Mark. Gasol's weakness, so with the help of the speed brought up by the pick-and-roll, quickly controlled the ball, and instantly took a step forward, and put Mark. The moment Gasol's center of gravity shook, he quickly retreated and shot.

Despite the fact that Mark. Gasol is taller and has longer arms, and is far larger than Jamil. Nelson is 30 centimeters taller, but Jamil. Nelson is a small player who is more agile and has no loss of speed. Gasol is too much to defend against the small. With Jamil. Nelson took the lead in the face of Mark. After Gasol scored the opening goal, the battle began.

The Grizzlies failed to put down the first ball, and suffered from the speed of changing defenses, and Hollins was completely helpless. Now the change of defense is a difficult problem that the Grizzlies cannot overcome for the time being. Although Ding Mo'an's ability to assist in defense is very good, it is also very easy, and under the entanglement of the opposing player, he cannot help defend in time.

The bell also needs to be tied to the bell, so if you really want to solve this problem, you must mark it. Gasol himself went to patch this loophole, after all, he couldn't rely on Ding Mo'an's assistance to ensure that the interior defense was safe and sound. And after the Magic offense was completed, they quickly returned to defense, sat in the backcourt, and did not give the Grizzlies a chance to play a fast break.

In Stan. Under the tutelage of Van Gundy, the defensive master, the Magic's defense, especially the defense of positional warfare, can be called a big killer for them. Not to mention that the Magic team also has Dwight. Howard, an insider monster, can be said to be in the right place at the right time, and he has taken it all.

The lack of a fast-break opportunity means that the Grizzlies will have to play positional offense next. After serving in the backcourt, Mike. Conley though faced Jameel defensively. Milson is more disadvantaged, can break through with the ball, dribble to the half, the same Jamil. Nelson can't help him with the height of a traditional point guard.

When Mike. While Conley brought the ball to the half, Ding Moan was already running fast, looking for a shooting opportunity. However, as head coach Hollins predicted before the game, he exposed his powerful offensive weapon in advance in the first game, and Ding Mo'an, who shot in the middle of the game, wanted to block and get the space to shoot in the half, which completely compressed the Magic team.

Especially OJ Mayo, he used a small movement when Ding Mo'an ran in the half just now, which simply made Ding Mo'an overwhelmed, and almost thought that this guy was Artest. However, Artest cares about the face of his league's top defender, and there are very few tricks in the next three indiscriminate.

But OJ Mayo doesn't have this scruples, anyway, the more unhappy Ding Mo'an is guarded by him, the happier he is. Of course, with OJ Mayo's indiscriminate tricks, it will definitely not be able to stop Ding Mo'an's running. Several times, Ding Mo'an used his speed to shake off this abominable guy.

The real reason is that the Magic's defense is to compress space in the half-court to the team's defensive core, Dwight. Howard is the origin, spreading around, man-to-man defense, expanding his team's position on his own half, thus pressing the Grizzlies' blocking tactics and opening up space for Ding Moan. So from start to finish, Stan. Van Gundy didn't pin his hopes on O.J. Mayo either. After all, Ding Mo'an can make Sean. Battier and Artest are both super rookies with a lot of headaches, and he OJ Mayo is something.

The other Grizzlies players continued to block and dismantle Ding Mo'an in this offense, but it was ineffective. Seeing that there were only ten seconds left, Ding Mo'an knew that it was impossible to open the situation first this time. And because there were only ten seconds left, it was too late to hoist the ball into the inside and give it to Kevin. Lefou's singles.

Ding Moan simply started suddenly, and after throwing OJ Mayo away with his speed, he slipped to the bottom line and rushed outside the three-point line, took the ball from Mike Conley without hesitation, and held the ball to the Magic's interior line.

"Since the mid-range shot is not good, then use the breakthrough to pierce the Magic's defense." Ding Mo said with peace of mind.

So after receiving the ball, Ding Mo'an swung sideways sharply, swayed sideways with his low hand, instantly deceived OJ. Mayo's defense, and violently exerted his explosive speed and swept past OJ. Mayo. After all, OJ Mayo is not Artest, or even Sean Battier. Even these two defensive experts can't completely restrict Ding Mo'an's breakthrough.

Therefore, Ding Mo'an relied on his speed of always being one step ahead of others to quickly enter the inner line. Phone speed gave. It's Stan. Van Gundy had clearly expected this to happen, so he immediately shouted at his players on the field: "Defend him!" Don't let him rush in! ”

After shouting, Stan. Van Gundy put his mind at ease and paid attention to the situation. Defensive strength of the Magic's interior, Stan. Van Gundy was reassured. After all, Dwight on the inside. The reason why Howard can step into the ranks of super centers is that excellent defensive skills still account for part of it.

Actually, no need for head coach Stan. Van Gundy reminded that Dwight on the inside. Howard also saw Ding Mo'an rushing in, but at this time his heart was excited. Before the game, he originally thought that he would provoke Ding Mo'an and the Grizzlies, at most it would set off a war of words, and he didn't think that Ding Mo'an, a rookie who had just entered the league, would dare to say anything to himself.

He had no fear, and when hundreds of thousands of Memphis fans surrounded the bus, shouting a uniform national curse to greet his mother, Dwight had never encountered such a situation. Howard, almost peed his pants. In addition, Ding Mo'an unceremoniously criticized him for being like a five or six-year-old child, and he also offended this magic leader who entered the super center sequence to death.

Therefore, at the moment when Ding Mo'an entered the inside line, Dwight. Howard immediately defended himself. He has excellent physical fitness, is much more agile than players in the same position, and his long arms and perverted bounce also give him the confidence to prevent Ding Mo'an from breaking through. And in the face of Dwight. Howard's defense, Ding Mo'an did not panic, this is something he had expected a long time ago.

Breaking through the inside line is bound to be with Dwight. Howard came to the court for this face-to-face conversation. And Ding Mo'an has no reason, he chooses to retreat and is fearless, even if it is the peak Jordan who defends him at this time, Ding Mo'an will not hesitate to meet it. However, Ding Mo'an rushed into the Magic team alone, inside the penalty area, and took the initiative to meet Dwight. Howard's actions are like a lone hero in the eyes of Memphis fans and melon-eating people across the United States.

is a hero, then there is no time to kneel and admit defeat. Even Don Quixote was stupid and attacked the windmills, but he had to rise to the occasion. So Ding Mo'an is about to play with Dwight. Howard slammed into each other and quickly pasted it up. Dwight. Howard is not stupid, how fast Ding Mo'an is, it can be seen from the defense line that has made Ding Mo'an break up.

So the duel between the two starts with leaning on each other. At this time, the domestic fans in front of the TV and the melon-eating crowd across the United States and the Memphis fans in the center of the FedEx arena held their breath.

It's a showdown between inside and outside talents!
