Chapter 525: The Cluster of Shelves in the North Shore Garden
"Now it seems that the Grizzlies are finally back to normal and get rid of the confusion of the first half, but if the situation continues like this, it will still be very bad for them, and the hole they dug for themselves in the first half is too big, and it will be difficult for any team to recover by as many points as the team that trailed Coach Z at halftime."
"And what's worse now is that even though the Grizzlies are back to normal after halftime, there is still no way for this team to limit the Boston Celtics players, and they can't make the Boston Celtics players play out of alignment, so it's hard for them to recover the score."
Kenneth Miss looked at the two teams that were frantically entangled on the court and said with a sigh, in fact, for this game, in his own opinion, the third quarter is the real beginning, in the first half of the Grizzlies are obviously not in the state, and after the start of the second half, although the team is back in shape, but because the hole is too big, it is still pressed by the Boston Celtics, this Boston Celtics is obviously not like other teams in the league can take away the team in waves.\\ It's not easy to close the gap of nearly 15 points against such a team.
"I really didn't expect these two teams to be so similar" After Kenny Smith finished speaking, Barkley on one side also said with a smile, this game Maddie played Artest's ass was fun, and similarly, on the other side, Carter was also crazy to kick Jackson's ass, the two teams were in the second and third positions of the confrontation is interesting, and in other ways. In the second half, James Posey and Billups, as well as Xiao Ao and Rasheed Wallace, are extremely close, many times these four people feel as if they are completely offset, and after the start of the second half, the whole feeling is that Carter is playing Maddie and Yao Ming alone, in this case, although Carter has been trying to maintain his attack and the team's firepower, but if Artest and Ben Wallace can't withstand Yao Ming and Maddy, he will also be very uncomfortable. Although his strength is stronger than Maddie, at this time, if Maddie adds a Yao Ming, he can make up for this gap.
"Yes, it's very rare to see this kind of game where the players on the pitch of two teams are so evenly matched. In particular, the Grizzlies' tactics in this game are to create an artificial one-on-one matchup, and it seems that Coach Z is full of confidence in his players, and if the Grizzlies want to turn over this game. Not only will Carter need to keep his firepower up, Artest will also need to put more pressure on Maddy, or Ben Wallace will be able to suppress Yao Ming like he did last season, but judging from this game, it will not be easy for the Grizzlies to achieve either of these two points. ”
Kenny Smith was a rare sign of complete approval after Barkley finished speaking, and it was obvious that for him the situation in this game was like this, but at this time, the TNT commentator looked at the increasingly impatient Artest on the court, and he really didn't believe that the league's few outside defenders could pinch Maddie well in this game, and the gap between Maddie and Artest in this game was very large, and this gap was not at all a reflection of the real strength of the two players. In this game, Artest has been in an abnormal state since he was pulled out by Maddie at the beginning of the game. That's why the Grizzlies will be stunned in this game. At this time, even if Jerry West knows the team's problems, he may not let Carter change the defense of Maddy, Carter now needs to use all his ability on the offensive end, if he is distracted by defense, then the Grizzlies at this time will definitely need Carter to stage a big rescue at the most critical time. But for now, the grizzly bears, while dangerous, are not at the point where they need to be saved.
"FVCK, again"
Artest was depressed. This game is definitely the most depressing game he has played this season, not even the most depressing this season, after his career in the NBA, he was only singled out with Carter when he first came to the Grizzlies, and was finally humiliated by Carter, after that humiliation, Artest admits that he has never been humiliated by other players in the NBA. Whether it was Pierce of the Timberwolves at the beginning, or Kobe Bryant, who is very popular now, or even Jordan, the comeback god, when he thought of this, the Grizzlies starter was completely focused when he saw Maddy dribbling the ball and preparing to break through, but after the first few offensive choices, this time the Boston Celtics starting small forward was once again under his nose.
It's another dry pullout of three points, and it's still Yan She, and the final result is still a hit, this is Maddie's second dry pull in this game, and the first after the opening, and at this time, Artest was directly speechless before his step. Even the Boston Celtics fans in the stands were stunned for a moment before they let out a deafening cheer, and for a while the whole stadium was chanting the name of Boston's public enemy Artest and the name of Boston boss Maddie.
Even some Grizzlies players on the side were a little silent for their teammate after seeing this scene, and the game was blown up from beginning to end. So after Maddie scored this goal, Grizzlies boss Carter also went over to comfort his little brother.
"Tracy's pulls are really accurate today, coach, are you considering increasing the number of pulls he has in a game?"
In front of the bench of the Boston Celtics, Stephen Green, assistant coach of the Boston Celtics, said to Zhuang Fei with a smile, the rule that Zhuang Fei only allows Maddie to pull out three times outside the three-point line at most per game is a well-known secret, although this mandatory rule is a little unkind or a little stifling Maddie's free ball style, but at present, the effect is very good, at least Maddie cherishes this opportunity to pull out, In terms of shooting options, the Boston Celtics leader is doing much better now than he did when he played with Anthony Walker, when he saw an opportunity and threw it away, and even if he didn't, he used his reach and bounce to throw hard. Of course, when a person's shooting is chosen, his shooting percentage can naturally go up, and Maddy's shooting rate this season is the highest in his career, so at this time, Stephen Green also hopes that Zhuang Fei can relax such a mandatory policy.
"No," Zhuang Fei also smiled slightly after hearing Green's suggestion, then shook his head and said, this is not just a matter of shooting percentage or shooting selection.
Seeing Zhuang Fei's resolute rejection of his proposal, the Boston Celtics also shook his head with a wry smile.
And just when Zhuang Fei and Green were laughing on the sidelines, an unexpected incident occurred on the court.
After Maddie Yan and Artest, the Grizzlies attacked, and when Carter got rid of Jackson with the ball and went inside, Jackson, who had been freed up, actually threw Carter to the ground directly from behind, which was a somewhat malicious foul, Artest was played very badly by Maddie in this game, and similarly, Jackson was also held back by Carter, and this time after being got rid of Carter again, the Boston Celtics defender finally couldn't help it.
In fact, Jackson also took protective measures when he knocked down Carter, after all, because of Zhuang Fei's relationship, the relationship between Jackson and Carter has always been very good, and this relatively big foul is just to express the resentment in his heart, and it does not mean to hurt people. Even Carter, who was fouled, had no opinion, got up from the ground and prepared to make two free throws.
And just when everyone thought this was an ordinary foul, Artest, the Grizzly player on the side, directly threw Maddie in front of him to the ground, Maddie was not prepared at all and lay directly on the ground, and after knocking Maddie down, the angry Grizzly small forward killed Jackson directly, almost in the boos of the fans, he and Jackson staged a real confrontation and soon the flames on the court were not limited to Atay and Jackson, on the other side of the small Ao and Rashid, James Posey and Billups Big Ben also joined the battle circle, and even Maddie, who got up from the ground, rushed up to seek revenge on Artest.
There was chaos at the scene. Of the ten players currently standing on the court, only Carter and Yao Ming, who were about to take free throws, did not make a move, while the other eight were all scuffled.
"Huh? Is there going to be a fight? At this point, even Ross Barkley on the commentary bench was excited, and it was clear that the former legend liked such scenes.
In fact, the NBA attaches great importance to this game, the two major referees of the NBA in this game, Bavita and Crawford, are all there, although the eight people on the court are now in a mess, but soon, under the control of Crawford and Bavita, it will soon be over, especially after Crawford continues to send technical fouls.
Coupled with the control of Zhuang Fei and West on the sidelines, the situation on the field was stabilized. After this clash, the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies also received 4 technical fouls at the same time, which was offset. Carter, on the other hand, continued to make foul free throws.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that the conflict between the players that had been stopped was re-emerged.
Artest, who was forcibly persuaded by the referee to calm down, was lying on the technical table to calm down, when suddenly a glass of Coke fell from the sky and smashed directly into his face. (To be continued)
