Chapter 206: The New Year is coming
Among them, Kevin. Lefou, Mark. Gasol has already secured the starter, and his talent and strength are part of the Grizzlies' strength.
And Batum and Darrell. Arthur is not as good as Kevin in his role, though. Lefou, Mark. Gasol is so important, but as a rookie, being able to establish himself in the rotation lineup is already a good result. Overall, the five rookies that the Grizzlies picked in the '08 draft all showed their strengths.
This is also the reason why the Grizzlies will run in faster than other rebuilding teams and have strong combat effectiveness!
With the end of the series of links, it didn't take long for the players from both sides to take to the pitch. If this game hadn't been because of Kobe, it might have been just an ordinary game, and it was best to win, and if it was lost, it was just a losing game. But with Kobe Bryant's challenge, it was different.
In this game, Ding Mo'an can't lose!
The team can't lose!
Personal data can't be lost to Kobe!
Every game this week is a game between Ding Moan and Kobe Bryant in the competition for the best of the week.
"This is the TNT commentary group, and I'm the host Erwin. Johnson. The game has already begun, so let's take a look at the starting lineups of the Grizzlies vs. Kings each other. Among them, the Grizzlies are still the starting lineup with Ding Moan as the core. Point Guard: Mike. Conley, Position: Ding Moan, Small Forward: Darius. Myers, power forward: Kevin. Lefou, center: Mark. Gasol. ”
"This lineup, in the past games, has proved their quality."
Erwin. Johnson said to the camera, full of breath.
Tonight's Grizzlies vs. Kings game was broadcast live by TNT, and it was also broadcast nationwide. In this season's games, the Grizzlies' share of live broadcasts in the United States is only weaker than that of the Lakers and other veteran powerhouses in the league. Of course, it is not surprising that the Grizzlies, who are at the top of the league's second-tier rankings, have such high exposure.
Whether it is the team's record or the team's most high-profile superstar Ding Mo'an, the Grizzlies have jumped from an unattended small-ball team to a successful counterattack. In addition, tonight's competition between Ding Moan and Kobe Bryant really made the Grizzlies' game attract attention again.
After reading the Grizzlies lineup, Earwin. Johnson then read out the Kings' starters: "Point guard: Benno. Yudri, Quartile: Kevin. Martin, small forward: John. Salmons, power forward: Jason. Thompson, center: Spencer. Hawes. ”
At this time, on the field, the referee also threw the ball high and jumped the ball to compete. In Mark. After Gasol became the Grizzlies' starting center, the Grizzlies were able to launch their first offense for most of the time, and the only time they faced Dwight. Howard, a super center with a lot of physical fitness, couldn't get the ball.
Mark. Gasol's jump ball was so powerful, which also saved Ding Moan the trouble of rushing forward to grab the opponent's defender. So, in Mark. Gasol touched the ball first with agility, and when he slapped the ball to the backcourt, Ding Mo'an shook his body and rushed to the frontcourt. In the middle of the rapid march, Kevin who was in the opposite position with Ding Mo'an. Martin is not a player who is good at defense, so his defense, like air, did not cause any trouble to Ding Mo'an at all.
To be honest, there are very few players in the league who can match Ding Mo'an in terms of speed. Anyway, Ding Mo'an is in these days of competition. I didn't meet an opponent who could compete with me in speed. Piercing the defense in an instant, Ding Mo'an easily got the opportunity and scored the first goal as he did before.
The Grizzlies' rapid offense at the beginning almost made the cameras on the sidelines not keep up, except for the fans on the spot, the fans in front of the TV just saw the camera flicker, and Ding Moan scored. Such a fast score only made the timer pass by three seconds, which immediately made many fans stunned and exclaimed.
But the Memphis fans, who have long been accustomed to their own Memphis sons and are so fast that they can't believe the speed, are very calm, so they waved their hands to the other surprised fans and said, "Sit down, it's just a regular operation." ”
Ding Mo'an's score is still so easy. And in the TNT locker room, Kenny, who is a die-hard supporter of Ding Moan. Smith is very active. Previously, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to a victory, and he also scored 34 points, saying to everyone, including Ding Moan, when you can do it, Kenny. Smith is still very worried about whether Ding Mo'an, who is under pressure, will be affected.
Now, this concern has long made Kenny. Smith was thrown to the country of Java.
"The difference between ordinary people and geniuses is that when ordinary people are under pressure, they may only exert half or even less of the usual strength. But a genius like Ding, instead of affecting himself because of pressure, can use pressure as motivation and exert 100% or even 120% of his energy! ”
Kenny. Smith was not worried at all that he would be slapped in the face. Just kidding, isn't Kevin. Martin and the Kings, can they be better than Ding Moan and the Grizzlies? Kevin. Martin is good, that's a fact. But Kenny. Smith just thinks he's good. Compared to Ding's unrivaled speed and skill and the Death Coiling defense that has slowly become famous in the league, Kevin Murphy has become known for his unrivaled speed. What does Martin have?
At most, among the league's scoring guards, the scoring strength is good. And Kevin. Martin's weaknesses also coexist with his offensive strengths. He needs a lot of shots to cut down the data of 24 points per game, and Ding Mo'an's efficient scoring efficiency is not comparable at all.
In addition, he does not have such a good defense as Ding Mo'an, who has played in the league for more than four years, and even the physical confrontation is not as good as Ding Mo'an, who has just entered the league. The only shining point is the score, and with all the shortcomings, Kenny. Smith is sure that the winner of tonight's showdown is Ding Moan!
And in fact, just like Kenny. As Smith expected, Kevin. Martin really can't get any bargain in front of Ding Mo'an. On the offensive end, Kevin. Martin couldn't limit the speed of Ding Mo'an, plus Ding Mo'an's physical confrontation ability, he was better than him. Martin is equal to scoring.
Suddenly, Kevin. Martin became the biggest hole in the Kings' court. This loophole is even better than Kevin. Lefou's fight with Ding Mo'an and Jason, the 12th pick in the league's first round in the same year, was the 12th pick. Thompson is even bigger. And Ding Mo'an is also effortless from Kevin. Martin scored 14 points for this hole, and Kevin scored 10 points. Lefu exerted power on both the inside and outside in the first quarter, and immediately turned the game into a one-sided crush.
As for Kevin. Martin's offense, not to mention. The death entanglement that is faster than him, stronger than him, and so good defensively that even Western Super Guard Maddie has a headache is not blown. Martin, when he got two blocks and three steals, couldn't believe it: the opponent is too weak, right?
Not Kevin, actually. Martin was too weak, but Ding Mo'an restrained him too much. Kevin. Martin belongs to the fast and thin scoring arrow, and it is not surprising to be beaten by Ding Mo'an, who is stronger and faster than him. At the end of the first quarter, Kings head coach Kenny Murphy was the head coach of the Kings. Knight's face turned pale.
Because, after the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies who were fighting away scored 30 points, and the home team Kings didn't even score half of the Grizzlies, and the dazzling 14 points seemed to make the Kings coach feel that the bell for his class was about to ring soon. But the most that makes Kenny. Knight was disappointed that Kevin, who had been given his hope. Martin only contributed four points, and these four points are still due to Kevin. Martin's best habit of making fouls gets.
Originally, the Kings faced the now increasingly powerful Grizzlies, and their chances of winning were slim, but now they don't have a chance of winning. Kenny. Knight focused on a few issues.
Such a powerful enemy is not something we can defeat.
This is the sigh of everyone on the Kings team,
Although the Kings lamented the unfairness of fate and met the Grizzlies, a roaring young army, the game still had to go on. And Kenny. Knight couldn't let the starting lineup go down and rest. Mainly, the Kings' rotation lineup is better than the starting lineup, and who knows if they will lose in the second quarter to be pants.
Kenny. Knightdo hopes that in the future, Hollins will not send Ding Moan and the Grizzlies to the starting lineup. The first quarter of the confrontation completely annihilated the confidence of the Kings, and in the face of Ding Moan and the Grizzlies starting lineup, the Kings almost raised their hands and surrendered. However, tonight's game was different.
If Kobe Bryant hadn't challenged Ding Mo'an so nakedly, then Hollins would have let them go. After all, Ding Mo'an and the main lineup are his fierce soldiers, if he plays for a long time and accidentally loses one, Hollins doesn't know how long he will be distressed.
But now, all Hollins can say is: NO!
In tonight's game, the Grizzlies not only have to win beautifully, but also have to let Ding Mo'an brush up enough points! The boss of the team is equivalent to the face of the team, and Hollins does not dare and cannot cause Ding Moan to drop the chain when he competes with Kobe Bryant for the best of the week because of himself.
With a big wave of his hand, Hollins directly let Cory of the rotation lineup. Nemanja Matic rolled down to the cold bench and kept Ding Moan on the court, leading the rotation lineup and the Kings' starting lineup to continue the move. The reason why he didn't let the starting lineup accompany Ding Moan to continue to play, Hollins was also worried that the Kings would end too quickly.
Otherwise, when the score difference came to more than 20 points, even if Hollins was embarrassed to continue to let Ding Mo'an be present to brush up the score, Ding Mo'an would not be happy. After all, to brush up on the weak team, it is also necessary to pay attention to saving some face for the opponent, otherwise Hollins really let Ding Mo'an continue to play when he already has a lead of more than 20 points.
The king doesn't mind the black hand and gives Ding Mo'an a moment. So when Ding Mo'an appeared on the court again with the rotating lineup, the king and everyone only wailed a few times in their hearts. And because Ding Mo'an broke through too hard in the first quarter, from Kevin. Martin, the big hole in the Kings' defensive line, has made the King's defense line his own back garden, and he can leave if he wants, and stay if he wants, and the Kings have also arranged it.
Seeing that the breakthrough would not work, Ding Mo'an also sacrificed his second wave of big moves and killed them!
With Kyle. Lowry's organization, Ding Moan's loyal younger brother in the rotation lineup, and with the cooperation of Batum, Milicic and others, there were soon vacant seats on the field. Take a leap forward and confuse Kevin. At the moment of Martin's judgment, Ding Mo'an's body turned around and quickly rushed to an empty spot in the three-point line.
At the moment of arriving at this location, Kyle. Lowry's land-hitting pass followed. The usual training and actual combat on the court made Ding Mo'an shoot extremely fluently, and he was not affected by the Kings players around him who found that they had already received the ball and shot, and pounced.
Swish!
As always, he stabilized his mid-range shot, which made Ding Mo'an's score rise to 16 points. But so far, the game has only passed a little more than a quarter, and looking at the next situation, Ding Mo'an is likely to score 30 points in the half. And such a high scoring efficiency is enough to blind everyone's eyes.
Scoring 30 points in the half and completing it in two quarters is no stranger to Kobe Bryant, a super guard in the league, but it is enough to make people frightened when it comes to Ding Moan. You know, even Kobe, who just defeated the Clippers and scored 34 points, it took 36 minutes to turn his score into 34 points. But now, just a rookie who has just entered the league for just over a week can score 30 points in two quarters, and it doesn't take long to surpass Kobe's score, no matter how you look at it, it's a demon.
When will a rookie be so outrageously strong, is this still the level that a rookie should have?
Obviously, everyone is aware of Ding Mo'an's terrifying scoring ability, and on the court, Ding Mo'an is concentrating on the game without distraction. Kevin. Martin is no longer the king's main point of attack. Kings head coach Kenny. Knight vs. Kevin. Martin has lost trust, at least in this game, Kenny. Knight is never going to let Kevin. When Martin faced Ding Moan, he got the ball.
In the first quarter of the game, he scored four points and allowed Ding Mo'an to score fourteen points. No matter how confused Knight is, no matter how bad his computing power is, he can calculate the loss of money if he continues to fight like this. So, the Kings' offense went to their team's second-leading scorer, John. Salmons.
As a jack-of-all-trades for John. Salmons, against the immature Batum, although it is not a complete victory, but it is also a slight advantage. Started to slowly chase up points for the Kings. And the Kings have a new scoring point, but Hollins is smiling happily off the court.
It seems that there is still something to play, which can give Ding Mo'an a few more points.
Hollins understands the significance of this challenge between Ding Moan and Kobe, the newcomer challenges the old man, although the newcomer is very young, but such a matchup is also very attractive. So Hollins doesn't mind letting Ding Mo'an play for a few more minutes, getting a few more points, and is willing to push Ding Mo'an smoothly and send a favor.
Compared to the somewhat stubborn head coaches of other teams in the league, Hollins is undoubtedly very good at being a man. This is also the reason why the Grizzlies management chose him, after all, the Grizzlies management needs a head coach who is obedient to Ding Moan, not a strong and capable head coach. It's not that Hollins isn't capable.
It's just that for other championship teams, the Grizzlies, who are in the rebuilding period, have the biggest goal at the moment is to quickly play the combat effectiveness of this roster, rather than spending a lot of time sorting out the good relationship between the head coach and the team's cornerstone. And on the field, Ding Mo'an didn't plan to target John too much. Salmons, the new scoring point that this king has emerged.
Unless you have your own brain pumping, you can do it.
