Chapter 160: Maddie

"The black history of grizzlies is over! In the new season, I want everyone to know us! Meet us as the Memphis Grizzlies, not the fish belly team that was teased as the Memphis Sick Bears or even the Bear Doll! Now, now, let those who despise us pay the price! Ding Mo'an's palm erected in the center suddenly clenched into a fist and shouted, "Grizzly bear!" ”

"Victory!"

After the team boss gave a clear instruction, everyone in the Grizzlies responded with a high spirit. Yes, after the reconstruction, the Grizzly Bears are no longer the twilight of the past, but full of vitality, this is a young youth army. Young Ding Mo'an and young Grizzly Bear players, if they want to create a big scene, they start with the Rockets!

When the owner of the arena, the Houston Rockets, entered the arena and was cheered on by the Rockets fans at the Toyota Center, the Grizzlies also passed the stadium quickly. Ding Moan is still the last finale player of the team, the last to run out of the player tunnel, and naturally the Rockets fans, who are the hosts, will not welcome the Grizzlies as a guest, and there are boos.

But fortunately, because the Grizzlies and the Rockets have core players who are compatriots, Rocket fans looked at Yao Ming's face and didn't boo Ding Mo'an, who was clearly the core of the Grizzlies, for too long. Therefore, the atmosphere between the two teams before the game did not smell of gunpowder, but was extremely harmonious. After all, not to mention that there are compatriots Ding Mo'an and Yao Ming in the two teams, just saying that the two teams have no grievances in recent years.

You can't expect the Grizzly Bear, who used to be the belly of the West, to have a grudge against the Rockets who own Yao Ming and Maddie. At the same time, after Ding Mo'an also hugged Yao Ming and greeted him for a while before the game, Yao Ming looked at his partner Maddy behind him who had returned from injury, and said, "Xiao Ding, you and he are the protagonists tonight." ”

When Ding Mo'an heard this, he saw the sleepy-eyed Maddie behind Yao Ming. In fact, Maddie's sleepy eyes have always been considered to be his loose, lazy, and casual characteristics, but after personal contact, Ding Mo'an just wants to say that others are just physiological phenomena. The game hasn't started yet, so Maddie off the court is very easy-going and relaxed, and he stepped forward to hug and greet Ding Mo'an very friendly, and Ding Mo'an also smiled back.

Although the media took a gimmick for this game before the game, called the matchup between the old and new scoring guards, the friendly exchange between Ding Moan and Maddy reduced the power of this gimmick by half, but the matchup between the two has only increased in popularity. After all, the duel between Ding Moan and Maddie is very sensational and expected among fans in China and the United States.

Ding Mo'an, the best shooting guard in the 2008 draft, has proved himself to be the most performant of all players in the same class with his unpickable stats. Although Maddy's performance is inferior to Kobe Bryant in recent seasons due to injuries, he is still recognized by the league as a top-level scoring guard in the West. The two met for the first time in the NBA, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Yao Ming is also a member of the vast number of melon-eating people, and he especially wants to see how Ding Mo'an, who fought against Maddie, can perform. After all, in the first game, Ding Mo'an was able to shake Artest, who was troubled by the league's top defenders and countless super scorers, so that he couldn't find the south, south, west, and northwest, and finally the amazing folding layup goal almost became a permanent shining point!

At that moment, Yao Ming couldn't help but compare his teammates in the national team, but the final result was not so unexpected. Because even Wang Shipeng and Sun Yue, who performed very well in the Olympics, only had the life of being suppressed in front of Ding Mo'an. However, in this game, Ding Mo'an was quite unlucky compared to Rose, who was praised by the league.

No one expected Ding Mo'an's NBA debut to bump into Maddie, who had just returned from injury. If Maddie didn't come back, then Ding Mo'an could still take advantage of the absence of the Rockets, the outside core, to make a wild move, but Maddie happened to come back, and after all, it was quite unlucky for them. Yes, no one would think that Ding Moan can win the conversation with Maddie, just as the Grizzlies, a youth army, can defeat the Rockets, with zero probability.

However, it will be the competition that validates everyone's guesses. So after a few rounds of ceremonies, the Grizzlies and Rockets players stepped onto the court. Ding Mo'an sorted out his jersey, and Maddie next to him was also holding his knees and bowing down to wait for the jump ball to start. They glanced at each other, and at that moment, both sides could see the fighting intent burning in each other's eyes.

While Maddie was curious about how many pounds Ding Mo'an had, Ding Mo'an was not curious about the strength of this always sleepy-eyed, but top-level star among many defenders in the West, and the battle between the old and the new began!

As the referee threw the ball, Mark. Gasol, with a faster bounce speed than Yao Ming, dialed the basketball to his side and eliminated Mike. Conley jumped up to get the ball, and the rest of the players rushed forward separately. The Grizzlies' rapid offense has always been the first to take the lead, and Ding Mo'an is the reason why the Grizzlies can take the lead.

At the beginning, Ding Mo'an, who was still in the half-time circle, was in the middle circle. The moment Gasol dialed the ball, he was like an arrow from the string, straight into the backcourt of the rocket, and exerted his sharp speed to the limit. Even the closest to the Rockets' backcourt is the "street ball king" Love. Alston was also desperately running towards the backfield, and he couldn't stop Ding Mo'an, who had already rushed up.

Therefore, everyone could intuitively see with the naked eye at this time that Ding Mo'an, who was twenty meters away from him, finally overtook in a corner, came first, and rushed around the arc to Raff. Alstom front. At the same time, Mike, who had already cooperated with Ding Mo'an. Conley, a precise long pass advanced in the backfield, cut through the long air and fell into the hands of Ding Mo'an.

At this time, there is only one purpose for catching the ball, to score!

Take the ball neatly, then jump coherently, and complete the opening smash score in an instant!

Boom!

After three seconds of offstry, as soon as the fans were about to sit down, Ding Mo'an scored the first goal.

"Shhhh......h

The away team scored, and the boos of the Rockets fans at the Toyota Center were naturally indispensable. Ding Mo'an didn't care, during the NCAA period, he was feared by his opponents, and the initiator of each massacre, he received more boos than these. The boos of the Rockets fans made Ding Mo'an not fluctuate at all.

Running back into the halfcourt, Maddy came to the corner area of the right three-point line and stood waiting for the team's point guard, Raf. Alston controlled the ball past half of the court, and while waiting, Maddie couldn't help but praise Ding Mo'an, who was already guarding him: "Your speed is really fast!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment!" Ding Mo'an agreed as a matter of course, and in the six months since he came to the United States, Ding Mo'an deeply knows that in this land of flamboyant personality, it is not a good thing to be too low-key and humble, and appropriate publicity is necessary.

Maddie smiled and looked at Raff. After Alston dribbled to the halfcourt, he suddenly broke free from Ding Mo'an's defense and ran sideways to the three-point position at the top of the arc.
