Chapter 152: Timely Formation
With three and a half minutes left in the third quarter, Matthews, who had been defending and running safely, suddenly came to his senses, threw in three consecutive three-pointers, and also had a dunk after a steal.
One person played a small climax of 11-0, 77-76, successfully turned the score over, and directly stopped the Grizzlies.
It was Chris Doolin who was in charge of marking him, and Coach Hollins had to bring on the experienced Poundsset, although the latter was not to his liking, and at the same time replaced Bayless for Gasol Jr.
After this substitution, only Li Ming and Guy were left on the outside of the Grizzlies, and Pondsett stepped into the position of small forward.
Seeing that the opponent's Matthews is so strong, then I will take a Bombeset, who is good at defense, to deal with you specifically, as long as it consumes you infinitely, and there is no need to worry about the offensive end at all.
Bombesett sat on the bench almost all the time, so he cherished it when he came on the pitch, and even couldn't believe his ears when the coach called his name.
This Quincy Pondset can also be regarded as a general, he has first-class physical fitness, fast speed, and excellent jumping ability. Able to make the most of his strengths and very decisive. Energetic and tenacious on the field.
And he's got a good three-point hand, especially shooting a staggering 47 percent from the two corners. It's just that for some reason, Coach Hollins always seems to be unhappy with him, and he rarely gets a chance to play during his Grizzlies days.
His family's athletic genes are very strong, and his father, Roscoe Po

and Uncle Cliff Po

Both were drafted in the 1974 NBA Draft.
Cliff was drafted by the Chicago Bulls with the 16th pick in the first round and played for the team for three seasons, performing decently and being a qualified starter in his day. Even in the East against the then giant Bucks, he was able to cut a double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds against Abdul-Jabbar's defense.
His uncle, Rothko, was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 53rd overall pick in the third round, but then he chose to play professional basketball overseas for 10 years. After retiring as a player, he became a basketball coach.
As a small forward produced by the University of Washington, he has a lot of imprint. In his junior year, he was named the team's Most Improved Player and received an industry award (I) for the hardest working player

Fresh off a four-year, $14 million contract with the Grizzlies this year, he desperately needs a chance to play to prove himself, but he's in an awkward position in Hollins' playbook.
Because there was already Guy in the same position, he overlapped with him somewhat. If you go to play the No. 4 position, you don't have Xiao Jia's tricky pass, so he becomes a chicken rib player.
Matthews did look a little struggling under Poundset's defence – at least not as calmly as before.
After all, the opponent's long arms are always in front of him, and he rarely has the opportunity to shoot three points directly, and the most important thing is that Bombset's defensive habits are very good, and he rarely jumps.
He also doesn't lose his position, unlike the slightly frizzy Kenyandurin, who reflexively jumps whenever Matthews looks up at the basket.
Aldridge also looked a little uncomfortable with Randolph's defense when he returned to the game, and Randolph was bigger than Jr. and always made contact with him, consciously or unconsciously, which made him very disgusted.
After all, Hickson, who is standing on the inside, does not have the ability to attack independently, if he can't open this point, Hickson's shortcomings of slow pace will be infinitely magnified, and even the Grizzlies players will deliberately play blocking and dismantling with his defensive players when attacking with the ball.
Then use his speed to force a breakthrough through Hikson, although Lillard on the offensive end can also use his excellent ability to score, but on the defensive end, Hixon was taught by several Grizzlies guards one after another, and Mike Milan on the side couldn't stand it and had to call a timeout again.
“Oh,come o
,he got it!!” Stoudemire couldn't take it anymore and kept shaking his head.
"It seems that Mike Milan can't stand it anymore, he can't stand this kind of thing anymore, this is simply a classic lesson for small and big fights, he has infinitely magnified his internal shortcomings in front of the whole league, and now all teams know how to deal with them." William is the way to mend the knife.
Coach Mike Milan regained Jeffries, at least he still had his feet, and although he couldn't stand up to Randolph on the inside, he could make up for the few small players who slipped in.
Jeffries is also a player with a story, and the Knicks' executive director, Smile Assassin Thomas, used a five-year, $33 million contract to poach him from the Wizards.
As a result, this guy could only score 6.4 points while playing an average of 30 minutes per game, and a person who only scored more than 20 points in two out of 490 games in his career actually got a big contract of 33 million for 5 years, which became a big joke at the time.
"A lot of people say it's because he and Thomas are both from Indiana University, otherwise you can't think of any reason for him to sign him, yes, a 2.10 big guy running out to play guard and small forward, crazy, unless you're Durant!" Williams said mockingly.
Later, the Houston Rockets could only eat Maddy's contract in tears in order to get rid of his contract. With Yao Ming out for the entire season, the Rockets are at a serious disadvantage in terms of interior height. Therefore, through Maddie's transaction, General Manager Morey brought three towers with a height of more than 2.08 meters to Houston.
Compared with Jordan Hill, who is still immature, and Hilton Armstrong, who has made few appearances. Jeffries is seen as the most likely player to rely on among the three.
Sure enough, Adelman did just that, and when Chuck Hayes came off the break, the boss opted more for new signing Jeffries to replace him, and forwent the more used Australian David Anderson.
However, Jeffries' performance did not disappoint the Ah Shuai who trusted him, and in the four games he played for the Rockets, he averaged 7.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, which can be regarded as a decent performance among blue-collar players of his level.
But in addition to his defensive prowess, let's hear what people say about him: "What position does he play?" Center? He doesn't have the strength, and he doesn't have the technical moves that a center should have; Power forward? He can't fight, he can't bear it; What about small forwards? He has too few offensive means. "
Yes, this guy has barely played on the inside, the problem is that he has terrible ball handling and shooting. Even defensively, he can't defend against a real interior player like Zach Randolph.
