When he first arrived in Vancouver, Luke felt a little different: it wasn't as cold as Toronto, but very warm.

"It's not that cold in here, is it?" Although Luke can still let out his anger, it is obviously not as cold as Toronto.

"Of course." "Vancouver is located on the southwest coast of British Columbia, between Breenay Bay and the delta of the Fraser estuary, and is the largest port on the west coast of Canada. Vancouver is backed by the Coast Mountains and faces the Strait of Georgia. Although the latitude is high, there is a warm current passing through it, so it generally does not snowfall often in winter, and the port does not freeze. Winters here are wet, but the climate is still mild. Snow-covered sights are rare, with the exception of the ski resorts on the mountain. From November to February, the average temperature ranges from 0°C to 5°C (about 45°F). Reid explained.

But Luke hugged Reed's head directly, "Then who told me it's colder here than Toronto?" Luke rubbed Reed's head directly.

"I was wrong, brother!" Reid hurried to beg for mercy.

"Hehe, do you dare to lie to me in the future?" Luke continued.

"Don't dare, don't dare, brother, let me go!" Reid said.

"Okay, since it's so sincere, how about you have a supper tonight?" Luke said.

"No problem, no problem, brother, you have the final say!" Reid said.

"Okay, I'll let you go today!" Luke lets go of Reed.

Then Luke finally coerced and lured Reed to learn the real reason why Francis was reluctant to come to Vancouver at that time. First of all, Francis's family was poor, and his family could not afford him too much living expenses. So Francis had a sense of money very early on, and he was also very homesick.

The Vancouver Grizzlies, who were still recognized as the league's biggest players at the time, drafted Francis, who felt very uncomfortable as a top pick, and he felt that he had worked hard to make a difference in the NCAA not to join such a team that everyone thought had no future. Although the Grizzlies had a rising playmaker at the time: "Mike Bibby," it also propelled Francis to the point guard position, a position he was least willing to accept. It was so much dissatisfaction that caused the Grizzlies to trade him, and Grizzlies fans still remember Francis's indifference back then, in their eyes Francis is synonymous with selfishness, and they are ecstatic when they hear negative news about Francis, even more excited than when the Grizzlies win. And that scene still makes the Grizzlies and Francis as hostile to each other as their natural enemies. Francis is reluctant to play in a position he doesn't want to play in a team that seems to have no future, and his departure is only a matter of time. Although the Grizzlies have now been reborn as a powerhouse in the West, Francis still believes that the decision was the right one. This is the reason why the Rockets lost the game against the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies fans dedicated all the boos to Francis without hesitation, perhaps this is a dead knot that Francis will not be able to untie in his life.

"Business is business," Francis remains adamant. "I think if I had been with the Grizzlies, I might never have been able to reach my full potential."

So Francis went to Team Rocket.

Well, we shouldn't be talking about Francis right now, it's time to move back to the Vancouver Grizzlies.

Well, but it seems that in 2001, that is, this year, the Grizzlies are moving again. They are moving back to the continental United States, which is Memphis. But that's another story.

Although the Vancouver Grizzlies are a fish belly team, it doesn't mean they don't have star players.

The first is the super point guard in the backcourt, "White Devil" McBibby.

Suave, surprisingly low-key, always choose that corner that the spotlight can't shine on, negative news? You can barely find her off the pitch. This is McBibby now. But it turned out that this was not the case.

It starts with his family situation. Mike Beebe has a large family that can be called white people, in addition to himself and his parents, he also has two older brothers and two younger sisters. However, unlike other white players in the league, Bibby's childhood was not much superior and happy, but more turbulent and hard.

In 1978, he came to earth and settled in Tuston, Arizona. His mother, Virginia, and his father, Henry, were at a low point in their lives, and a boarding house on the outskirts of the city became Bibi's first home. And the first bed he slept in for a whole year was a Nike sneaker box. At the age of two, the family moved to Phoenix, Hon., because of his father's job. At the age of four, his father had an argument with his wife because he was unemployed, and he never came home. At the age of eight, because her mother couldn't afford it, Bibi couldn't drink milk. You know, there were three little faces (the youngest sister was not born at the time) who were arguing to Virginia for food.

His mother's busy livelihood and the lack of paternal love kept Bibi hanging out on a dusty open-air baseball field with other children, and he learned to use foul language and fights, even if he soon switched to basketball and entered the middle school basketball team. He was always used to humiliating everyone around him, even his teammates and his coach were sometimes not spared - and it looked like another tragedy.

However, Mother Virginia did not let this terrible loss turn into an irretrievable depravity. She was ruthless, crying bitterly and beating Bibi hard. This time, Bibi was completely awakened. He realized what his mother had done for him. To this day, he still has an indescribable gratitude to his mother: "I see my mother next to me at every basketball game, she is the strongest woman in the world, and I am deeply affected by this strength every moment." Having such a mother means a sense of family responsibility, and the word perseverance will never disappear from your dictionary. We talked about everything, and I never wanted to disappoint her, even once. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Since then, Bibi's temperament has changed greatly. It is this Bibi that people are seeing. The offensive means are comprehensive. Singles are mainly disguised breakthroughs and pull-up jumpers left and right. The dribble is sudden in disguise, and the feints are realistic. He has a good layup feel and is good at using his wide body and basket to protect the ball, so although his physical fitness is average, he is rarely blocked. Accurate jumpers, adept at using the cover and pick-and-roll tactics of high players (the classic scenario is the game-winningshot in Game 5 of the '02 Western Conference Finals). Skillful off-ball movement (though that's what almost every player does on the Kings). Three-point shooting is of a decent standard. Good at rhythm control; On the defensive end, he often watched the opponent. He's a very good player.

But here McBibby is nothing to fear for Luke. Because McBibby is too slow to move laterally, he doesn't show the ability to fight against a thick body on the defensive end, and is usually the opponent's first target. In one-on-one defense, there is little to do against a playmaker who is slightly more offensive individually, and is sometimes forced to swap defenders with the team's shooting guards. It's almost impossible to see that there is a sense of revolt. A defender without a defense is nothing to fear, especially without a system that fits.

Like Steve Nash now in the Mavericks, the two super point guards who are also defenseless don't have the right system because neither of them is the real core of the team. Nash's calf has Nowitzki, and above Bibby is Mr. Sharif Abdul-Rahim.
