Chapter 145: Kyle. Lowry

After the Grizzlies' physical fitness test results made head coach Hollins very angry, he knew that the team had entered a rebuilding period this year, and it was impossible to fish in troubled waters like before.

A few weeks later, head coach Hollins watched with satisfaction the results of the recovery of all the players on his desk. It was his first step in coaching the Grizzlies. Hollins is a coach who advocates fast offense, and it can be said that this is a coach who fits the technical characteristics of Ding Moan.

After all, in the rapid attack and even the run-and-bomb tactics implemented by Calipari, Ding Mo'an is always the role of the sharp knife out of the sheath, and no one can stop the attack when sprinting and attacking.

And this is also the importance that the Grizzlies attach to Ding Mo'an, the core of the team. For the core of the team, finding a coach who fits his offensive characteristics to coach is completely impossible to put in other teams.

Head coach Hollins is a man who advocates fast attack, so his tactics are naturally fast offensive tactics as well. So this is a pain for a group of interior players of the Grizzlies, one by one, to improve their physical fitness and improve their speed in the half.

If you don't practice your fitness and speed, do you think you'll be able to stay in the team? Grizzlies management, this time, is ready to trade away another batch of players that are not conducive to the Grizzlies' rebuild.

After all, in order to enter the rebuilding team, the Grizzlies team has now undergone a major change from top to bottom. The team's veteran players are not one in ten, and Grizzlies management doesn't mind another big sweep.

At the same time, in other words, the Grizzlies now have nothing that cannot be traded except for Ding Moan, who is defined as a non-tradable building cornerstone.

In such a crisis, there is no room for other players to be afraid. Although the Grizzlies are not a strong team, they can only be kept on the team by blue-collar players who are not obvious. Such players, in the NBA, a league that gathers countless basketball talents, grab a lot of them, maybe they leave the Grizzlies, and they can't find a job in the NBA.

So whether it's Hollins, the new head coach, or the Thunder tactics of the team management this offseason, the Grizzlies' original loose atmosphere has been curbed and they have been able to complete the physical phase in a few weeks.

The physical problems are gone for the time being, and Hollins has also begun to make bold moves on his next step: running in the lineup!

Grinding the lineup, that's what the thirty teams in the league are doing. After all, every year there are new people in the team, or old people leave, how to quickly run in the lineup, for the team, in the next games, there is a basis for good results.

And the reason why there is an official game of the preseason is that the NBA gives the NBA team to use the game to accelerate the team's run-in before the regular season starts.

Now, the Grizzlies are also about to start the most important roster run-in. It's just that when Hollins made the team's new core, Ding Moan, a rookie team composed of players in the same grade and second grade, the Grizzlies had veteran players of more than two years of playing age.

"Coach, let Ding play with us experienced players, we will definitely be able to cooperate well!"

"We're no worse than these rookies! Coach, let Ding join us! ”

"Ding, our strength is much better than these guys, come to us!"

The veteran players are not going to give up the core of the team to the rookie team. Because where the core of the team is, it symbolizes that the main team with him is the main force.

And the rookies are not stupid, they are all human spirits, how can they not know the cats: these guys are going to compete with us for the main force?

The names of the main players and role players and newcomers to the team are much better, and if you can often play with Ding Mo'an, the familiar relationship makes Ding Mo'an willing to cover you, with Ding Mo'an's importance in the Grizzlies, it's not a normal thing to promote one or two of your own team.

So driven by interests, the old players shouted and provoked, and the rookies also went up without showing weakness, this is a big battle for the core, and no one can give in!

And Ding Mo'an, who was at the center of the topic, was stunned, and looked at his teammates who suddenly became infighting: Damn, isn't it just a team, how can you make the country and the family hate?

Head coach Hollins has been in the league for seven or eight years, and it is naturally clear why new and old players on both sides will quarrel. So he directly said to the two groups of people who were arguing: "Is the quarrel over, wait for me to finish speaking." ”

After Hollins, the new head coach, spoke, the two groups of players who had been arguing immediately shut up. Although NBA head coaches have much less power than college head coaches, this is for a team core or superstar like Ding Moan.

The head coach of the team still does not dare to make mistakes at will for ordinary players. After everyone stopped talking, Hollins said to a group of veteran players, "Ding, just go to the rookie team for a month, and in a month, he will come back to you." ”

"There's no need for you to quarrel here, no amount of arguing will change this decision. As for who is the main force of you, it depends on whether you can cooperate with Ding in these two months. Note that I have to cooperate with Ding, not him with you, Ding is the core of the team and the cornerstone of our team, including me, I also use Ding as the arrow in tactics! ”

Hollins's words directly revealed the truth of the almost infighting just now, and at this time, both new and old players were full of embarrassment, but there was also expectation on their faces, and they looked at Ding Mo'an with bright eyes.

Then Hollins released another bombshell: "I will select the player who best cooperates with Ding according to your training performance and be the team's starter." ”

And Hollins' bombshell blew everyone up, and the battle between the old and the new team came to an abrupt end.

Everyone wants to improve, and the Grizzlies players are no exception, and they are eager for the training game to start right away. Hollins has also set a roster for both teams for the team's practice match.

Rookie Team: Forming a backcourt partner with Ding Mo'an is Mike. Conley, small forward is Batum, and the interior is Mark Brown. Gasol and Kevin. Lefu is the fulcrum.

This lineup is the core of the Grizzlies' seven-game win in the summer league.

Veteran Team: Point Guard: Kyle. Lowry, Defender: Marco. Jaric, small forward: Darius. Miles, power forward: Hadjim. Varik, center: Darko. Mickey Hitch

So after the lineup was arranged, the training match also started. However, the first to be exposed was the rookie team, Mike, who had been working well with Ding Mo'an. Conley. He is only 1.83 meters tall but weighs 200 pounds, like a small tank. Lowry dazzled everyone.
