Chapter 169 The Long and Terrifying Road Trip Grizzly 2
Sharif? Abdul Rahim, the 1996 Golden Generation's scout, is now the titular and de facto boss of the Vancouver Grizzlies. With a height of 2.06 meters, his omnipotent performance once made him the focus of the league. His attacking ability is extremely strong, whether it is his touch or footwork, he can easily tear apart the opponent's defense. He used to love dunks, and back-to-back singles were also his specialty. The mid-range shot is the best in PF, with 3 points, strong interior scoring strength, free throw shooting percentage among the league, and a great love for dunks, but the bounce height is not high. Not tall or strong, he is known as one of the best PFs in the NBA with his skills and feel. A unique weapon that turns around and shoots with one hand in a low position has been in the alliance for more than ten years. Because it is an SF transformation, it is very flexible, and the rebounding ability is not strong, and the offensive rebounding is mainly based on picking the ball and making baskets inside. But defense doesn't work. Raheem is a typical PF with strong offense and weak defense, there are not many ways to defend, it is too slow to do SF, too soft to do PF, and if there is a coolie center on the inside, this shortcoming can still be compensated. The blocking ability is poor, and it is not good against strong strikers.
But most importantly, he's a good guy.
Rahim's parents were devout followers of Islam, and his father was one of the more prestigious patriarchs in the community. Born into such a family, it is natural for Rahim to be influenced by a good religious atmosphere from an early age. Rahim's name means "noble" and his surname means "merciful" and he is a devout Muslim. His parents, guided by his values, influenced him because of his youth and credits with his philosophy of life: "Remember how you came to all your grades and stay humble." ”
In the NBA, there are a lot of people who are Muslims. Like O'Neill. But he was not a true believer. Smoking, drinking, gambling, and nothing to do. But Raheem is different, in the big dye vat of the NBA, he has not gone bad in the slightest. There is one commandment in particular.
It is well known that in the Islamic calendar, the month of December to January is the month of Ramadan, a time when a person is not allowed to eat or drink or smoke, and a married person is not allowed to have intercourse. In addition, it is forbidden to chew or swallow any foreign objects, or to take the medicine through the mouth or nose. And the time of fasting is from before dawn until sunset. It is customary to break the fast at sunset with a snack (according to the Prophet's custom, it is often two or three dates).
You must know that the consumption of a professional basketball player in a day is very large, especially in the game, and that consumption is completely two or three times that of the average person, even if you don't play the whole game. Especially a star player like Raheem who plays the whole game is simply commonplace, and it is such a bad team, without all-star players, let alone victory, the fans have long been gone. In this way, Rahim's consumption is even greater. But Raheem has never missed a game during Ramadan. And it also maintains 20+ data per game. It's remarkable. He was sincere, kind, and had no temper at all, which reminded people of Hill. He does not drink, does not smoke, is insulated from violence, is free from drugs, he never violates the dogma of Islam, he is a faithful servant of Allah, an "alternative" in this alliance. Also one of Luke's favorite interior players.
Of course, even having two superpowers, Raheem and Bibby, can't change the pattern of the Grizzlies. Because their defense is so bad! It was evident from the very beginning of the game!
The 76ers are very well protected from both frontcourt and backcourt rebounds, and the Grizzlies players have little to no ability to block and steal. The Vancouver Grizzlies almost lost the opportunity to counterattack quickly. But that doesn't mean the Vancouver Grizzlies don't have the ability to attack.
Although the Grizzlies are not very good defensively, their offense is still top-notch in the league.
In the backcourt, there is one of the best in the league and has been praised by the leader of "God" Joe, McBibby, and in the frontcourt, there is something like Sharif? All-Star strikers like Abdul Rahim. Although they didn't work as well together as Webb and Bibby during the later Sacramento Kings period, they were more capable of singles, especially Sherif Brown? Abdul Rahim, the power forward, constantly teases Tyrone Hill with his body and footwork.
And let Luke learn a big forward very practical and very simple trick.
First of all, the inside line needs to be in place. At this time, Tyrone Hill leaned in. But Sharif? Abdul Rahim showed no fear. First of all, he briefly tested Tyrone Hill behind him, and Tyrone Hill immediately pressed his elbow against Sherif ? Abdul Rahim, to prevent him from hitting him directly. But this also hits the Sherif right in? Abdul Rahim's arms. First dribbling, then suddenly accelerating, crashing into Tyrone Hill a step or so. Tyrone Hill was also a veteran, and at this time he forcibly twisted his body's center of gravity to keep up with the defense, but Sharif? Abdul Rahim moved again.
Sharif? Abdul Rahim took advantage of Tyron Hill's knock out of the way and used his skilful footwork to turn around and turn himself from a back-to-back attack to a face-frame attack.
See Sharif? Abdul Rahim turned around so simply, and Tyron Hill didn't have time to be surprised, and hurried up to meet Sharif? Abdul Rahim, don't let him score easily.
But Sharif? Abdul Rahim has a back-up move.
See Tyrone Hill coming up, Sharif? Abdul Rahim didn't panic, this time, he directly used the strength of his arms and body to hit Tyron Hill, who had not landed on the ground, again, so that he had a shot angle, and then threw the ball into the frame with a low shot.
Simple, practical and beautiful. That's Luke's assessment. But this also requires the help of Bryant Levi's children's shoes, he stubbornly blocked the eager Big Ben behind him (he is about two meters one three, and his body is relatively strong, which should be able to block Big Ben), and did not let this cap maniac come to make trouble, otherwise no one knows what the result will be.
But even McBibby and Sharif? No matter how beautiful Abdul Rahim's performance is, it doesn't matter much, because they are not the kind of team leaders, at most they are second-in-command, and it is not okay to let them be big bosses, because they can't motivate the whole team and work together. Soon, after a stalemate for a while, the 76ers began to pull the score away after the 76ers became familiar with the Grizzlies' overall offensive rhythm.
But the Grizzlies still haven't given up, Sharif? Abdul Rahim is still active on the inside, which makes Luke very unhappy!
"Coach, I'll go inside!" Luke took the initiative to fight!
