Chapter 4: The Battle of the Grizzly Bears

Over the next 10 days, I averaged just 2.6 points per game in four 2o minute team practice games, but I had 8.8 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, and 2.3 assists. Later, in order to prepare for the upcoming preseason, the team had a full-court match, I was divided into the main group, and Christian Leitner formed an interior line, I played center, Leitner is a power forward, Michael Jordan is a small forward, last season's scoring champion Richard Hamilton is a scoring guard, and the point guard is Tyrone Lue, but it seems that Whitney's table is no worse than him, and it is estimated that Collins will let Whitney share a lot of playing time.

The 48-minute battle wasn't intense because of the proximity of the game and the fear of injury, and I had eight points, 14 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and of course six fouls. For this reason, Jordan and Collins specially asked me to analyze the cause of the foul after the game and give me some guidance. After that, Jordan told me that I would be in the preseason and hope I work hard.

Tomorrow is the first preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Vancouver Grizzlies, who were only accepted by the NBA in 1994, have always been the NBA's fish belly, and this season they are not allowed to move from cold Vancouver back to Memphis, and then this season has completed a gorgeous turnaround, Jason Williams, Lorenzen Wright, Pau Gasol, Sean Battier, Gooden and others have completely turned over this fish belly and become a strong contender for the playoffs, of course, the Grizzlies have not been able to enter the playoffs this season.

Grizzlies: Lorencen Wright, Pau Gasol, Sean Battier, Doug West, Jason Williams

Wizards: Kwame Brown, Christian Leitner, Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, Tyrone Luc

Lorenzen Wright, the blue-collar centre-forward who was murdered in 2o1o, was my opponent. The battle between the O1 champion and Tanhua that was stirred up outside didn't mean anything to me at all, Gasol was a famous big center in later generations, and I was just a parallel import. Besides, this time I'm playing against Lorenzen Wright, a blue-collar center who averages close to 1O+1O per game, and as for Gasol, that's Leitner's dish

I stood in the opening jump zone in the middle of the court, facing the big black man, a blue-collar center who had proven himself, and I was determined to aim and kept telling myself, "Beat him, beat him." ”

"Tick!" The referee blows the whistle and the ball flies into the air.

I kept my eyes on the trajectory of the basketball and kept in mind Pete Henderson's words: start jumping after the basketball starts to fall to a distance where you can bounce the most, and before you jump, keep an eye on your teammates' positions and move the ball to where there are teammates.

In order to find the best distance for this jump, I set aside an hour a day to practice under the guidance of Mr. Henderson, and it continued for half a month before I achieved some results.

There was no suspense, the basketball was earned by me, Tyrone Lue controlled the ball, and we flooded into the Grizzlies halfcourt, Jordan and defensive expert Sean Battier were tangled, Hamilton and Doug West were pulling together, Leitner was hanging with Gasol, and my opponent was Wright, a blue-collar center who had survived the days of the Big Four centers.

I'm in the key position, I desperately squeeze Wright, squeeze him back, the first shot can't be missed, the Wizards have Jordan, Hamilton, Leitner, I'm just a blue collar now, what I'm going to do is if other people can't catch the ball, I can be a stop, Wright is good, but I'm still a little bit behind, I completely suppressed Wright in terms of power, he was completely blocked by me.

Tyrone Roux slowly dribbled the ball, looking for that gap, and Jordan ran reflexively to break away from Battier's defense; Wright, hurriedly passed the ball to Jordan, as if the basketball was like a hot potato, Battier hurriedly stepped forward, jumped up and stretched out his right hand, trying to interfere with Jordan. The ball was shot, but the target was not the basket, but me, I received the ball, sat back hard, Wright was completely out of position by me, I turned around, made a shot, Gasol hurried over to make up for it, jumped very high, completely obscured my shooting space. I passed, it went out of Gasol's armpit, and the ball was safe in Reitner's hand, and there was no one in front of him, and he ended the fight with an easy dunk.

"Well done, Kwame!" Lightner exclaimed, still hanging from the basket.

White Chocolate Jason Williams, directing the Grizzlies to the rest of the group, Wright blocked me tightly, feeling that he was a little annoyed, but his strength was not as good as mine, I stuck to him, sank my weight, and wanted to deal with the old fritter Leitner, not to let him have a chance to turn around, I don't care about the rest, as long as he can't turn around, the threat to the basket is small, not every center has Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook.

Battier was raised to block Williams, Williams bypassed Battier and went straight inside, Pau Gasol blocked Leitner's position, and there was a gap in the place leading to the basket, and Magic's successor White Chocolate jumped up, holding up an earth-shattering dunk in his right hand.

I was the center, the last barrier under the basket, and I turned and jumped up, stretched out my arms to try to prevent the dunk.

Every year, the NBA picks a new batch of talent, and basically every one of these people is a genius, and the innate gap between them is almost small, and the biggest possibility is the mental element and hard work. I don't know if I'm a genius or not, but I do know that Jason Williams must be a genius who has wow Magic Johnson with his creative passing. I blocked all the angles, he didn't have a chance to score, he couldn't dodge in the air, I thought I defended it.

At the moment when my palm made contact with the basketball, Jason Williams' wrist bent, the ball passed behind him, and a tall figure appeared, it was Pau Gasol, Gasol took the ball and dunked, I was already weak, and when I landed and jumped again, Pau Gasol was already flying, the ball went in, and I became my back.

Tyrone Lue, dribbling to the frontcourt. All of them are in place. Williams bent over and stared at Tyrone Lu, keeping Tyrone Lue under constant pressure. Jordan stepped back and took possession of the ball with his hand, Battier and Williams switched defenses, and Williams defended Jordan instead, with Battier assisting on one side and semi-emptying Tyrone Lue, which may have been the Grizzlies head coach's previous arrangement.

I was in the key position, continuing to fight with Lorenzen Wright, and although Wright was completely out of position by me, Pau Gasol on the other side was clearly moving closer to my side, and there was obviously no room to pass. An important reason for not passing it to me is probably Jordan's offensive ability.

Jordan dribbled unhurriedly, and Hamilton ran around with the aging Doug West. I saw that I didn't have a chance, I was up and down to block Doug West, Hamilton was completely clear, the ball went straight from Jordan's hand to Hamilton, and the ball went in, a very standard shot.

The Grizzlies were on a fast break, and before I could fully get my feet, Williams' ball was in the hands of Llorent Wright. A basket throw, the ball goes into the basket steadily.

Jordan shouted at me, "Kwamei, keep your attention, pay attention." ”

That's my fault, my fault, because I was slow to defend and led the team to concede a goal, and I thought I could force Lorenzen Wright and relax a little bit to let him take this opportunity. The NBA is full of geniuses, and the difference is only whether you play hard and seriously.

Jordan took the ball, I was stuck on the inside, Hamilton continued his long-distance running career, Doug West's degree obviously couldn't keep up with Hamilton, a folded line ran back, got rid of Doug West, and Jordan's ball shot directly.

No one knows what the trajectory of the ball will be like until it's in the basket. I held my position tightly, keeping Wright out of the way, keeping my eyes on the flying basketball and waiting for the half-chance to go. Don't enter, or enter.

"Bang!" The ball bounced out of the frame, the ball bounced to the other side, not waiting for the ball to fall, I quickly slid to the other side, resisted hard with my back, there was some space, shouted, jumped hard, it was my ball! I grabbed the basketball firmly and threw it outside, passed it to Jordan, there was no one in front of Jordan, and he jumped out and made a steady move.

Williams, possession of the ball, slowly looking for opportunities, Battier makes a block, the ball passes to the inside Gasol, Gasol has no chance, passes back to Doug West, West rushes inside, takes the ball, one step, two steps, jumps......

When Lorenzen Wright blocked me, I instinctively felt something, I used my shoulder to resist Wright, took a step sideways, and just in time to see Doug West jump up next to me, I jumped up with all my strength, and my right hand was hard to shoot at the basketball.

"Smack!" "Boom! ”

Two times later, a pegboard hat was made, the basketball was pinned to the rebound, and Doug West was knocked out of the baseline and into the pile. I held on to the rebound and no one could grab it.

There was cheering from the audience, Collins on the bench shouting something, Bobby Simmons shaking a towel, and Etan Thomas and Brandon Haywood banging their chests in celebration.

The Grizzlies take a timeout.
