If the focus of the last game that American fans paid attention to was the matchup between Ding Moan and Maddy on the outside, then tomorrow's game is the collision of the two geniuses on the outside and inside. And it is for this reason that Charles. Barkley finally found a sense of existence and refuted that in the live broadcast room, Kenny. Smith single-handedly blew Ding Moan's chance.

"The Magic will win, will win!" Charles. Barkley said firmly, "Dwight. Howard, who played amazing statistics last season, officially entered the ranks of the league's super centers. The inside line is the key to dominating the game. Even if Ding is alone, no matter how powerful he is, but with a super center, Magic will definitely be vulnerable in front of him! ”

Kenny. Smith didn't give it at all, his old opponent had face, and teased: "Yo! Super center, huh? So in the last game, Yao's performance was good, right? He even blew up the Grizzlies inside, but in the end, the Rockets didn't lose to the hands of our outside genius Ding. So where does the conclusion that you say the inside line dominates the game come from? ”

Kenny. Smith's meaning is very clear, since you are advocating that a super center can dominate the game, but yesterday Yao Ming performed the best of the Rockets, but in the end he lost to the Grizzlies with Ding Moan, you now. Say that the Magic team used their super center to take out the Grizzlies, does it hurt in the face?

"Charles, your theory is long outdated, it's no longer the era of the eighties and nineties when the four big inside centers dominated the league, now it's the world of outside players, and only outside players can dominate the game." Kenny. Smith covered the last coffin board and nailed Charles. Barkley, so that he can recognize reality.

But Charles. Barkley won't, and can't, let Kenny. Smith covered his coffin board and continued to make a fuss. Because this is a battle of ideas, this is a debate on the importance of the outside line, the players and the inside players, and no one can lose momentum.

So Charles. Not to be outdone, Barkley retorted, "No, there's more to Magic than that, Dwight. Howard, this super center! Their interior strength is a cut above the Rockets. After all, Yao Ming only has Louis by his side. Scola is this helper. But Dwight. Howard had Rashad by his side. Lewis. This Shuang Nengfeng, who signed the tenth contract of 100 million yuan! ”

"And the Magic still have a bunch of good role players. For example, Hildo. The mobile battery of this outer line of Tekoglu. And in this year's draft, the Magic also selected OJ Mayo, an instant fighter. Very strong outside scorer. It's safe to say that this year's Magic team is the strongest team after the breakup of O'Neal and Hardaway. ”

Kenny. Smith shrugged off and laughed, "Are you kidding me?" Then the OJ in your mouth, can Mayo have Ding Qiang? Can he score the highest debut score in history at 32 points on his debut? Can he play a single game, right on the Rockets, in those stars who have been in the league for a long time, and even make the league's superstar Maddy eat him two hats? ”

"It seems that I still remember the joint trial before the draft, what you called OJ Mayo, but in the heads-up link, Ding scored three goals in a row, and he didn't score a point, and he was very miserable. As for a bunch of good role players, the Grizzlies have that too. In the last game, although the Grizzlies were beaten by Yao on the inside, they also showed good potential. You must know that the Grizzlies are a youth army, and most of their current starting lineup are first-year and second-year students, but such a young lineup is still led by Ding, an equally young leader, who overturned the behemoth of the Rockets. ”

Kenny. Smith won't let Charles go. Barkley took the initiative to come up in the face and slapped his face: "Let's just talk about Kevin in the last game. Lefou. Although he was still limited in the end, his guard style of play that did not match his tonnage and height was still very effective. I think he is at least capable of defending the average Rassad. Lewis has a few points in front of him, and there is no problem. In that case, I don't see how strong the magic team you are talking about. ”

"All in all, magic is better than grizzlies." Charles. Barclay is about to argue, but Kenny, who can speak well. Smith immediately played a scoundrel.

Kenny. Smith gave him a disdainful look: "The potential of the Grizzlies was already evident in yesterday's game. Whoever underestimates them will have to pay for it. ”

So the live broadcast room revolved around Grizzly Bear and Magic, who is weak and who is strong. While the ESPN commentary team was arguing about this, fans were also looking forward to this battle of inside and outside talent and were curious about how the Grizzlies, a young army, would perform when facing a Magic team that was also a strong inside team.

And the Grizzlies also relied on the president of the league, David Brown. Stern's explosive schedule and the team's rebuilding core Ding Moan scored a historic 32 points, breaking the record that had been sealed since '96 to the present, and became one of the most watched teams, second only to the Lakers, Cavaliers, Celtics, Bulls and other metropolises and championship teams.

However, most of the reason why the Grizzlies are so popular now is due to the addition of Ding Moan, a super talent who was famous in the United States during the NCAA period. It's someone else. Including people like Rose, they can't reach the popularity of the small city team of the Grizzlies alone, and they have risen to a height comparable to those championship teams and the first and second largest cities in the United States.

The outside world did not affect the Grizzlies' training. At this time, Ding Mo'an was in the stadium with his teammates, conducting daily training. Compared with the NCAA period, the semi-professional training at the University of Memphis, after entering the NBA and entering the Grizzlies, the daily training is undoubtedly more professional and standardized.

First of all, every morning, the training time of the team assembly is 8 o'clock in the morning, which is equivalent to the time that office workers go to work every day. After all, there are 82 games in the NB regular season, and the rest of the time in between cannot be used for players to play on their own, but all for training and understanding opponents to prepare for the game. At the same time, arrive at the stadium at 8 o'clock in the morning to train, eat the team's training meal at 11 o'clock at noon, which is the nap time, train for three hours in the afternoon, mainly practice tactics, and end the day's training at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which is the end of the day, and the players are equivalent to finishing the day's work and going home from work.

And this time, because it is a home game, the players do not have to go home after work, eat and pack their luggage, and then rush to the stadium again to gather to play away. Therefore, the NBA home and away games are really a big advantage. After all, the home team is far easier than the away team, at least you don't have to toss and turn on the plane and bus, after the journey. before reaching the opponent's city.

With only a day and a half to prepare for the Magic, head coach Hollins has a headache. Compared to the joy of team management to learn that the league schedule is so supportive of the Grizzlies, Hollins can't wait for 48 hours a day. Without him, he has continuously played against top teams like the Rockets and Magic in their respective East and West regions, and if he didn't know the inside story, Hollins would have doubted David. Is Stern calculating himself with Grizzlies management and driving himself out of class?

However, the schedule has been arranged, and Hollins can only take advantage of the team's heat after the team has just played against the Rockets, an opponent who is not weak on the inside, and step up the defense against the inside. At the same time, it strengthens the Grizzlies' current main tactics, continuously blocking and dismantling to form openings and create shooting opportunities.

Hollins is also helpless, if Ding Moan didn't perform too well in the last game against the Rockets, and even faced Sean in the end. If Battier and Maddy's defense, throwing in the winning shot, fully demonstrating their excellent mid-range shots, then Hollins' current psychological pressure will not be as great as it is now.

But it backfired, and in the end, Ding Mo'an still exposed his strength prematurely. However, the Grizzlies were able to achieve their first win of the season with Ding Moan's outstanding performance in the first half of the game, so Hollins is now both painful and happy, paying for the first victory in advance.

Because of the early exposure of Ding Moan's own powerful weapons, it is not difficult for Hollins to guess that the opponent in the next game, Magic head coach Stan. Van Gundy, the defense-oriented head coach, will definitely build an iron bucket defense against the Grizzlies' leading scorer and core Ding Moan in the next game.

At the same time, as the game time approached, the Magic team had also arrived in Memphis by special plane. And in the hotel where he stayed, a group of media reporters who had long been moved by the wind surrounded one of the protagonists of the war, Dwight . Howard. Dwight. Howard is smiling at this time, and with last season's astonishing statistics, he has now become a super center in the league this season.

Such a young super center has already made this "big boy" known as a childlike "big boy" inevitably proud. However, when answering the questions deliberately asked by media reporters to provoke a war of words between the two teams, he still remained friendly, after all, there was no grudge between him and Ding Mo'an.

So after listening to Dwight. Howard was unnourished, and there was no harsh answer in it, and the media reporters were disappointed. However, there was one that did not disappoint these media reporters. Because there is a person in the Magic team who regards Ding Mo'an as a great enemy of life and death, and even thinks that Ding Mo'an ruined the good start of his career.

This person was in the joint trial, took the initiative to provoke heads-up, and lost to Ding Moan's OJ Mayo.

"We will overcome them! I'm going to prove my progress in tonight's alignment with that guy. OJ Mayo said proudly into the microphone left and right, and then pointed to himself Dwight. Howard added: "And now, I'm on the Magic, a team that has Dwight. Howard's super mid and the presence of a group of strong teammates, I am very confident! ”

"I believe Dwight will be the leader of our team and will lead us to defeat all opponents!"

OJ Mayo's scheming and emotional intelligence are very high, and he quickly threw Dwight Howard a big sycophant, and Dwight Howard also enjoyed this sycophant, so he who was friendly before, couldn't help but flutter, who let the little brother speak, how could the eldest brother not give the little brother a stand?

So he took over the conversation and put his arm around O.J. Mayo's shoulder, as if the two men knew each other very well. Actually, Dwight. Howard isn't familiar with the new brother OJ Mayo, but that doesn't stop him from putting on a show in front of the media: "Yes, OJ is right, we're going to walk away with a win when we come here." As for tonight's opponent's team, the super rookie. I didn't think he was too difficult to deal with, and his previous luck would have come to an abrupt end when he met us. ”

Dwight. Howard and O.J. Mayo's singing and harmony made the media reporters, who were originally very anxious about how to provoke a war of words between the two teams, as if they had found a new world. So they immediately put Dwight. Howard and O.J. Mayo's words added fuel to the fire, intending to set off a pre-game war of words.

And that evening, before the game started. Dwight. The provocation of Howard and O.J. Mayo, as those media reporters thought, instantly attracted a large number of melon-eating crowds to watch. In this battle of focus, the duel between inside and outside talents has become a topic of discussion for countless people as early as the day before the game.

Now Dwight. Howard's blatant provocation before the game, as well as Ding Mo'an's old enemy, O.J. Mayo's mouth cannon, also made this game full of highlights, and it was difficult not to attract attention. However, Memphis fans obviously don't like this theory, and in their eyes, Ding Moan is the hero of the city and the darling of the city.

Dwight. The words of Howard and O.J. Mayo infuriated them. The anger of hundreds of thousands of fans can be imagined. Soon, hundreds of thousands of fans in Memphis, united by Memphis's son, Ding Moan, immediately expressed their anger through practical actions.

You must know that now in Memphis, the Grizzlies and Ding Moan are both symbols of the city. was verbally provoked, hundreds of thousands of Memphis fans, no wonder they were not angry. So that night, even though there were police cars escorting the Magic team's bus, slowly driving into the FedEx Arena, there were tens of thousands of Memphis fans on the way from the Magic team's hotel to the FedEx Arena. Playing a variety of paintings full of Dwight. The poster of Howard and O.J. Mayo's ugly and angry scolding, with all kinds of American national insults, defended the Memphis son Ding Mo and the Grizzlies with great momentum and action.

A mouth cannon made such a big battle, and Dwight who was sitting on the bus. Howard was stupefied, he thought he was just saying it. At most, it set off a wave of war of words with Ding Mo'an and the Grizzlies, but the war of words did not arrive, but it brought in the hatred of hundreds of thousands of Meng Fei fans, and the whole person was confused.

Especially the neat and uniform outside, greeting the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, even made Dwight. Howard feared for his safety.
