Chapter 178: Magic Strikes Back
Speaking of Dwight. Howard, Hollins and Stan Van Gundy have a headache Ding Moan's speed is incomprehensible, and the mid-pitch god is average, and he is also amazing about this physical fitness, crushing Mark. Gasol and other inside guys are helpless. Despite the fact that Mark. Gasol's chubby interior size allows him to quickly adapt to NBA-level matchups. Howard counterpoint, let Dwight. Howard wanted to give on the inside, cut ten points, and you can see that Mark . Gasol is Jean Dwight. Howard was blown up.
Fortunately, at the core of the Grizzlies, Ding Moan did not disappoint, and also blew up OJ. Mayo, who was opposite him. At the end of the game, he scored 10 points and two assists, not to mention, and tied with the Magic team with a score of 14:14. However, head coach Hollins is only because of Dwight. It's just a headache for an inexplicable insider bully like Howard.
After all, in the first eight minutes of the first quarter, the team had Ding Mo'an carrying the Magic's big wave of defensive pressure against him, and he could continue to maintain his competitive level and draw with the Magic. Against the Grizzlies, a young army that has entered a rebuilding period, it is already a good result.
At least in the first quarter, he was able to play such a result against the Magic team with a super inside killer, which has already exceeded most people's expectations. Therefore, inside and outside the arena, the enthusiasm was undiminished, and they were still excitedly calling for their home team, the Grizzlies, and Memphis's son Ding Moan during the official timeout.
Although there is no way to restrain Dwight for the time being. Howard, but Hollins didn't hesitate to make personnel changes. In the last game against the Rockets, Hollins almost let the starting lineup play on the court for 40 minutes, and it was a last resort to use the starting lineup at such a high intensity.
Are the Grizzlies weak now?
I believe that if this question is thrown out, the answer is NO. It was only as the team's head coach that Hollins knew that the weakest link of the Grizzlies today was the bench lineup. Compared to the starting lineup, which has a talented leader like Ding Mo'an, leading the Grizzlies, the bench lineup is very rare for anyone to stand up.
This is also the reason why the Grizzlies held a large lead in the last game, but in just one quarter, the Rockets erased the score advantage and overtook the score. With such a bench lineup, Hollins really doesn't plan to use them if the situation allows.
But Ding Mo'an and other starters are not made of iron. The intensive use of the starting lineup will do more harm than good to the Grizzlies in the long run, and it is likely to bury the Grizzlies' future. That's why Hollins reluctantly replaced the starting lineup and let the bench come on.
So even though Hollins is a head coach, he just has to think about the team's current record. But he's also a manager with a work ethic who won't do anything to jeopardize a player's career in order to make his coaching record look good. Again, there is a sign from Grizzly Management.
After all, Grizzlies management is not stupid and will not see the pros and cons. If Hollins were using other starting lineups, he might not have touched the bottom line of Grizzlies management. After all, in the eyes of Grizzlies management, there is no question of whether these players in the starting lineup can be traded.
Anyway, as long as you can get the chips that satisfy them, nothing else, this player is yours. However, Ding Mo'an is different, and Ding Mo'an's name will never appear on the Grizzlies management's trade list, which is equivalent to not being for sale. Not to mention anything else, Ding Mo'an showed strength in the last game and has already established his position in the Grizzlies management.
He scored 32 points in his debut, breaking a decades-old record, and even surpassing Jordan and Allen. Iverson and other rookie players who have been superstars in NBA history are the presence of team management wherever they go. This is a super-potential stock that could be the cornerstone of a superstar in the future.
If the Grizzlies do trade Ding Mo'an, then I'm afraid that nine out of ten people will think they are crazy, and the remaining one is at least a madman. So after confirming that Ding Moan is the future of the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies management definitely does not want to see Ding Moan repeatedly play 40 minutes of high-intensity games.
After all, at the beginning of his career, such a high-intensity game had a great impact on the career of a rookie player like Ding Mo'an who had not yet learned how to maintain his body and prolong his career. Even such a high-intensity use of Ding Mo'an is likely to cause Ding Mo'an's career to shrink.
And now the outside world still has a lot of doubts about Ding Mo'an, including doubts about Ding Mo'an's career injury. In addition, there is another example from the past, the example of Ding Mo'an's compatriot Yao Ming, which instantly reminds people of Houston's injury-ridden career at the Great Wall of China.
Because of the crazy use of the Rockets and the national team, Yao Ming's injury has become a common occurrence in recent years. Although Yao Ming has issued a preview of his peak from the preseason and even the Olympics this season and has shown super interior dominance, Yao Ming's experience has also made the Grizzlies management alarm bells ring.
No one wants to see the cornerstone of the team lose its competitiveness due to injuries. The Grizzlies are not the Rockets, and there is Maddy, the outside core, who can carry the team after Yao Ming's injury. The Grizzlies are a single-core team, but there are no conditions for Maddy to be injured and Yao Ming to lead the team or Yao Ming to be injured and Maddie to lead the team.
Protecting the cornerstones of the team is the only thing Grizzlies management has to carry out.
So Hollins will not do such a shameless thing because of his professional ethics, and secondly, there is also the intervention of Grizzlies management. So while Hollins knows that when the starting lineup is rested, there will be a gap between the benches and the opposition will take advantage of the opportunity to fight back.
However, it can only be pressed to let the starting lineup continue to be on the field. It is also rare to tell Yan Yuese that the substitute lineup who wants to play should pay attention to defense, don't lose too many points, and let Ding Mo'an, who will take over the main lineup that will replace them, once again consume too much physical strength to chase points.
Now Hollins has no hope that the bench can win points. If this is, a team in the middle of the league. Then Hollins may still have some expectations, but with a strong team bench like the Magic, Hollins can only hope that they can lose a few points less and give Ding Mo'an, who will play later, more time to rest.
So Hollins switched to the bench after the official timeout in the eighth minute of the first quarter. Similarly, the Magic are also making personnel adjustments, allowing the Grizzlies to tie with themselves in the first quarter. Such a result is a losing matchup for the Magic team. Probably in the eyes of the fans. The Grizzlies' opener win over the Rockets was a great thing.
But in the eyes of everyone on the Magic team. In particular, the Magic, who have been greatly strengthened this season, must not accept the result of not being able to beat them by a rebuilding team. Playing the Grizzlies, a team that has always been a fish belly at the league level, playing like this, let's mention what to compete for the championship, and wash up and sleep early.
It's the psychology of all Magic players.
So Stan. Van Gundy immediately will start the lineup of Hildo. Turkoglou, put on the field. Eight minutes before the first quarter, Sido. Tekoglu. It didn't have much impact on the battle situation, after all, the first quarter of the game was played by Ding Mo'an and Dwight. Howard as the protagonist, started the game.
Everyone else is a supporting role, so Sido. Turkoglu didn't get much of a chance in the starting lineup in the first eight minutes of the first quarter. But Stan. Van Gundy used him as the team's sixth man. Despite the fact that Hildo. Tekoglu's physical fitness, but his scoring ability, is that of Stan. Van Gundy values.
So after the official timeout, both teams made substitution adjustments. However, the coaches of the two teams who made substitution adjustments had different mentalities. Compared to Stan. Van Gundy had the winning hand, and the Grizzlies' bench roster was terrible, making Hollins uneasy. After all, compared to the Magic's bench lineup, there is Xidu. In front of Turkoglu, a Turkish small forward who has already proven his scoring ability, the Grizzlies bench lineup should not be too shabby.
Even in the bench lineup, the only person who dares to shoot and even score is only Kyle who dares to shoot and dare to play. Lowry is up. Imagine a team bench that ends up relying on a small point guard to score points, and no one else can help, and the Grizzlies bench is chilling.
So in Hollins he was nervous and Stan. With Van Gundy in hand, the game on the field started again.
He scored 32 points in his debut, breaking a decades-old record, and even surpassing Jordan and Allen. Iverson and other rookie players who have been superstars in NBA history are the presence of team management wherever they go. This is a super-potential stock that could be the cornerstone of a superstar in the future.
