Chapter 243: Hand-to-hand combat!
"The race is about to start! Players from both sides entered and began to greet each other hypocritically, and the referee came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball!! ”
Barkley seems to attach great importance to this game, and actually brought the opening live broadcast to himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info made Smith, who is usually in charge of this work, very embarrassed.
"There were no surprises in the starters on both sides, Memphis Grizzlies point guard McConley, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Rudy Gay, power forward Zach Randolph, center Marc Gasol!"
"Roar-!!"
As the grizzly bear players finished standing with fierce expressions one by one, a roar of the bear king sounded in the federal courier center. The powerful sound effects spread throughout the stadium, and any team that came here to take away a win would have to weigh it up.
"The visiting Sacramento Kings also have a full lineup, point guard Terek Evans, scoring guard Gu Yu, small forward Francesco Garcia, power forward Jason Thompson, center DeMarcus Cousins!"
"Come on......!"
On the King's side, the players can already be regarded as "ruthless" from the perspective of the whole league. But against the overlord of the forest who is the king of the mountain on the opposite side, the king's bandits seem to have fallen into a hundred percent of their momentum.
“HAVE-A-NICE-DAY-BRO。”
In front of Gu Yu, the man with the most terrifying face was covered with muscles and knots, and nodded slightly at Gu Yu.
"Ready to be blown up?"
Gu Yu's trash talk came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Burst ......? Hehe......"
Tony Allen sneered: "Kobe Bryant didn't dare to say this when he saw me...... ”
"Beep-beep!"
"Jump the ball, the game starts !!"
With a whistle blowing, the basketball was thrown high into the air, and Marc Gasol was no match for Cousins on the bounce, and the Kings got the ball.
"Attack! Multi-conduction balls! Movement!! ”
Westphaal knows that the opening first round is especially important in a meat grinder battle like this. In the face of a strong defensive team like the Grizzlies, if the offense is deflated in the first round, it is easy for the Grizzlies to ignite a stronger fighting spirit, and the next games will be more difficult to play.
And this game is on the road, although Memphis is not a big ball market, but there is no one in the league who does not know the name of the Memphis gang.
The fanaticism of the fans here and the terrifying atmosphere of the scene are probably only fought by Indiana, which is also fanatical, and Detroit.
And compared to Indiana's pure love of basketball and Detroit's industrial city from the roar of the people at the bottom, Memphis's wildness has an even wilder toughness.
Memphis, with its high crime rate, is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the United States and even the world. Although on the surface, the city seems to be quiet and peaceful, but the old-school style, tough American thinking, and the folk customs of fighting at the slightest disagreement still make this a paradise for tough guys.
“BOOOOOOOOOO――!!”
Sure enough, as soon as the Kings started to attack, the Memphis fans in the stadium began to boo. The sound wave after wave is higher, just sitting on the sidelines and listening, it has already made people's heads become two big.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Evans dribbled at the top of the arc, his eyes constantly scanning the court.
Not far away, the Kings players have begun to run like marquees. Countless off-ball screens emerged one after another, and extremely small opportunities appeared in front of Evans' eyes, but Evans did not pass.
Not stable enough.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Slowing down the dribble, Evans is still waiting for a better opportunity.
The coach said that the first goal had to be scored and I had to find the most secure attacking opportunity.
Although those opportunities just now also existed, after passing through, the Grizzlies can quickly adjust their defense and complete local pinch shots. This kind of opportunity can be used when it comes up against an offensive team, such as the Suns. can face the grizzly bear, passing this kind of ball is tantamount to looking for death.
It got to be better.
The chance to come out has to be greater......!
"Bang"
On the weak side, a figure attracted Evans' attention.
"Pretty ...... block!"
Gu Yu, cut out on the weak side!
"Whoosh!"
Evans only glanced at it, and immediately looked away, for fear that his intentions would be discovered. Then he calculated the speed and distance of Gu Yu's next running position in his heart, and when the time came, he opened his hand and made a straight stopper.
"Good pass!"
On the sidelines, Westphal secretly praised, watching Gu Yu run out of the perfect vacancy, half-turning to shoot after receiving the ball, and was about to celebrate.
“…… Syllable! ”
A hand appeared above the ball in Gu Yu's hand.
"What ......"
Break the ball!
Tony Allen, Iron Blade Steal!
"Whoosh!"
Counterattack!
“YEAAAAAH――!!!”
With the wild sound of the FedEx Center, Tony Allen's broken ball was picked up by Conley like lightning, and he rushed to the front court without looking back.
"Back to the defense! Back to !! ”
Evans knew something was wrong, and called for help from his teammates as he retreated.
Conley in front of him flashed like a ninja, changing direction in continuous advancement, and Evans kept mixing garlic under his feet, almost falling to the ground.
"This way!"
On the wing, Tony Allen was already fast, and Conley made a pass feint to freeze Evans in place, and then he passed and made a very light layup.
“…… Whew"
Middle!
"What a ball—!!"
FedEx Center, shouting to the sky!
“NICE……!”
Conley, who completed the attack, still had the same poker face, and went back to the defense with a calm face, only to high-five his teammates on the way to celebrate.
"What an exaggeration......!"
In the media seat, Xiao Yu was also a little surprised. Although it was not the first time she had come to Memphis, such a manic voice, which began to boo wildly from the first goal of the opening game, was still a little unexpected for her.
"Memphis, the capital of crime!"
Sager, who was also working at the scene, sat beside Xiao Yu, still wearing a colorful suit that was so gorgeous that he was blinding, and said with a smile: "If you talk about Indiana fans, there is elegance in the wild." Detroit fans, manic with angry words. Then the fans of Memphis are scared at the beginning, and no one is convinced! ”
"It's not that exaggerated before."
Xiao Yu was puzzled: "I also came to Memphis last season, and it seems that the attendance and noise at that time were not so powerful!" ”
"That's because last season's Grizzlies fans haven't realized how much energy this team has......!"
Sagar smiled and didn't say much.
How much energy do grizzly bears have?
How much energy can a team without superstars have?
Xiao Yu is also an industry insider, and after a little thought, he understands.
"Black Eight."
On the barrage in the live broadcast room, Emperor Knowing the Ball immediately started "on-site teaching".
"The success of the Black Eight, and then the seven games against the Thunder in the division semifinals, let Grizzlies fans know that the floor of this team is not low, and the ceiling may be higher than they imagined!"
Grizzlies fans were furious after sending away Pau Gasol, one of the team's most famous and powerful stars in the past two decades.
The "Lakers are a robbery trade" rhetoric is endless, and an All-Star-caliber interior core is only exchanged for scattered draft picks and a few players who seemed inconsequential at the time. Grizzlies fans feel more or less that they have been robbed by the giants.
Although in the era of Pau Gasol, the Grizzlies did not have any great results, and they were all swept out of the playoffs.
But the elegant old coach Hubi Brown has turned the Grizzlies, who are not very talented, into a team with amazing depth and toughness. Even Jason Williams, who was once in turmoil with the Kings to the extreme, has become calm and spicy under Hubbie Brown.
At the time, Grizzlies fans believed that the future of the team was clear, with Pau Gasol as the core, assisted by outside players, as long as they could get an outside star with the ability to tear up the defense on their own, the team could make a difference in the playoffs.
However, this did not happen, and the big Gasol was suddenly sent away, and the grizzly bear seemed to have lost its backbone, and suddenly became devastated as if it had lost its backbone.
Fans denounced and scolded the management, thinking that the team manager must have made such a decision after his brain was pumped, and that the foundation of the team for the next ten years had been hollowed out in an instant.
However, after several years of dormancy, the Memphis Grizzlies, relying on the chips brought by the deal that year, completed the rebuilding step by step.
Even, go further than back then.
It's just that people didn't expect that the problem of "outside independent scoring" that had plagued the Grizzlies for a long time back then was still an eternal pain for the Grizzlies until now.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The first offensive error, and the back of the opponent's fast attack, the Kings and a group of young players were a little frustrated.
Evans, as the big brother, tried to stabilize the morale of the army as much as possible, control the situation, and dribble forward.
"Run, keep looking for opportunities!"
Passing by Gu Yu's side, Evans gave an encouragement, and Gu Yu also stared at Tony Allen viciously and nodded heavily.
However, the ambition of the Kings players did not last even one more round.
"Good chance!"
The inside line was empty, Gu Yu's running position involved the Grizzlies' outside defense, Cousins got a back opportunity, received a pass and turned around and arched to the inside.
But as soon as he used his strength, the king giant baby, who was born with divine power, found that:
"Top, top don't move......???"
Go Walk!
Cousins couldn't hold Gasol Jr. who looked fleshy at all, and he couldn't explain his footsteps clearly, and he almost walked, and hurriedly leaned back and made a panicked shot.
“…… Syllable! ”
Heavenly Spirit Divine Palm!
"Nice in-situ cap! Marc Gasol got the ball and went straight to the front, Conley quickly distributed the ball to Gay, the hairstyle brother returned to the defense quickly, and Guy passed again...... BAAAAAAAAAAM!!! Tony Allen, aerial relay !! ”
"......!"
In the air, Tony Allen was dressed in steel and iron, and he forcibly carried Gu Yu's defense and two, and a violent dunk shook the entire basket.
“SXXK-IT! SAC!!! Hahaha!! ”
Amid the merciless ridicule of Grizzlies fans, the Sacramento Kings are struggling!
