Chapter 315: The Problem at Hand

Ginobili is not in good shape, but the Grizzlies are in hot form.

Qiao Hai replaced Ginobili and replaced Michael Reed, and the court began to focus on the connection between Mike Bibby and Rahim, and the offense was also vigorous for a while, and in the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies won 29:22 and took a 7-point lead.

In the second quarter, Joe replaced Billups and gave Ginobili another chance, plus Stephen Jackson, Rough, and Rasiunestrovich.

Relying on a strong bench, the Grizzlies continued to suppress the Knicks.

Ginobili's condition is still bad, and after two consecutive shots, Ginobili is no longer shooting, crazy breakthroughs, and then passing, I have to say, this style of play is still beneficial to the team

So Qiao Hai didn't replace Ginobili.

After halftime, the Grizzlies had a 13-point lead.

In the second half, the Knicks changed to an all-main lineup and began to chase points.

The Grizzlies also put on their strongest lineup, with point guard Mike Bibby, scoring guard Chancey Billups, small forward Sean Marion, power forward Raheem and center Patrick Ewing still maintaining a pressure on the Knicks.

In this section, Patrick Ewing erupted.

Facing his old master, he was full of fighting spirit, grabbing offensive rebounds in a row, and then hitting a rebound.

In the third quarter, Ewing alone grabbed 5 offensive rebounds and hit three rebounds, and throughout the third quarter, Patrick Ewing scored 10 points and 11 rebounds, and completely exploded in his place of fame.

After three quarters, the Grizzlies maintained a 15-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies started the quarter with the main force and then continued to hold the lead.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Knicks 109-92, a wave of 8 consecutive wins, except for the opening game victory on October 31, the Grizzlies have taken a 12-1 record in November, and after this game, they will return to their home court against the Phoenix Suns.

………………

By the end of the game, there was still a large number of New York fans at the Madison Square Garden Arena, who booed and cursed Patrick Ewing and traitor.

"In the face of his old club, Patrick Ewing performed perfectly, in the third quarter, he cut 10 points and 11 rebounds in a single quarter, including 5 offensive rebounds, and in the whole game, Patrick Ewing scored 18 points, 20 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, including 8 offensive rebounds, only two points away, can complete a double 20 luxury data."

With the game over, a few of the highlights before the game can also be summarized, with several ESPN commentators being the most keen on the matter, with Max Colleman first setting his sights on Patrick Ewing and Marcus Camby.

"On the other hand, Marcus Camby, in the whole game, we can only see Patrick Ewing who missed the interior in order to help defend, which also allowed Ewing to cut a rare 15+ points this season, in terms of statistics, Marcus Camby only scored 8 points on 3-of-10 shooting, although he grabbed 12 rebounds, most of these 12 rebounds were defensive rebounds."

Obviously, both in terms of stats and on-field performance, Patrick Ewing has outperformed Marcus Camby.

In fact, for Patrick Ewing in the last few games, the Grizzlies' coaching staff also has a summary, Patrick Ewing in the last two weeks, he has grabbed high rebounds in a row, 20+ rebounds are endless, and the block data is also quite gorgeous, that is, the score is a little worse.

Judging by the performance, Patrick Ewing is clearly in shape.

Therefore, Qiao Hai is also thinking about whether he wants to add a little routine to the team during Maddie's absence, and add the 75% peak Patrick Ewing to the team, and the 75% peak Patrick Ewing can be regarded as at least a peak Dwight Howard, which is also a big killer......

ESPN summed up another set of matchups.

In this game, Manu Ginobili in 4 of 14 shots was undoubtedly defended by Ragabel, so there is nothing to say, Ginobili failed to prove his strength, but it was Ragabel who proved his excellence on the defensive end.

………………

The Grizzlies left New York with boos.

In November, the Grizzlies have one game left against the Phoenix Suns.

This season, Scott Skels continued to coach the Suns, and the Suns got on track, finishing in the top five in the West with a 9-4 record in November.

Under the leadership of Jason Kidd, this Suns team has excellent defense, ranking in the top 10 in the league in defensive efficiency, but the offense is in the middle of the league, and for Qiao Hai, although this Suns also have a top point guard in the league, it is clear that this Suns are not the Suns he is familiar with.

Against the Suns, who have excellent defense and average offense, the Grizzlies play no different from the previous games.

But in this game, the Grizzlies lost, to everyone's surprise.

Although the Suns' record is not bad and they are considered a strong team in the West, after the game, the media still used the word "underdog" to describe the result of this game.

From the opening game, the Grizzlies weren't in great shape.

The Suns' tough defense directly made the Grizzlies' outside three small points unable to find the crosshairs, Manuginobili continued to start, and in this game, his form continued to be bad, with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 6-of-16 shooting.

Mike Bibi and Billups are also not in good shape, and in the new season, in terms of the Grizzlies' system, the outside three small players can't open the offense, and the Grizzlies' offense is over.

As soon as the offense was over, against Jason Kidd's team, the Grizzlies' loss was naturally no surprise.

This defeat also made Qiao Hai see the shortcomings of the current Grizzlies, without Maddie, although there are many strong points on the outside of this Grizzly Bear, there is no really stable strong point, the offense relies heavily on the outside three small, once the three small are locked, the offense will not be able to play.

There is a strong point on the inside, and Raheem is still the core of the Grizzlies' interior offense this season.

But compared to last season, Rahim's stats have continued to decline, and this season's scoring average has dropped to 15.6 points per game, becoming the fourth leading scorer in the Grizzlies, with Ginobili, Mike Bibby and Billups all averaging more points per game than Raheem.

In fact, in the Grizzlies, Raheem's positioning is awkward, he relies more on singles for offense, the range is only to the middle distance, and the defense is not good.

But the general growth is too slow, although there is roughly a potential value of 88 points, but the total score has risen from 75 points, and it has only risen to 76 points now, Qiao Hai even wondered if the system was showing an error, but there was no way, the reality was like this.

Rahim, who has a total rating of 90 points, is roughly 76 points, and Qiao Hai naturally chooses Rahim.

After this loss, the question in front of Qiao Hai is how to get interior players to join the Grizzlies' offensive system.
