Chapter 154: Two Ghosts Knock on the Door
Coach Hollins called a timeout and brought on Marc Gasol, and now the Grizzlies have two big centers on the court again.
Lillard's breakthrough was even more difficult, the space on the interior was too crowded, and his technical characteristics were difficult to deploy.
Gasol Jr. was very restrained on the inside, and he blocked Lillard's breakthrough like a wall at the free-throw line, who could only hastily pass the ball to Batum on the other side, who was not very strong in his own offensive ability with the ball.
Under Guy's repeated infections, the ball was cut, Li Ming picked up the ball, and when he was about to launch a fast attack, Tatum was fouled tactically, and since the number of fouls in this quarter had reached four, the ball was a free throw.
Li Ming walked to the free throw line, the court immediately quieted down, when he hit a free throw, the audience immediately cheered, under the auspices of the live DJ, everyone rhythmically cooperated with his free throws, fortunately, both balls were available.
"Wesley, can you find a three-pointer? I'm being watched too closely, and there's always a defender in front of me. Lillard asked, pulling Wesley Matthews aside.
"I'm choking enough, Rudy Gay is like gunpowder tonight, chasing me, I have almost no chance to catch the ball in the open space." Matthews spread his hands.
It seems that the opportunity can only be with Aldridge, and Lillard deliberately passed the ball for Aldridge in the next round, but the latter did not seem to want to play physical confrontation and did not want to go to the basket for a single.
After a simple dribble of two strokes each time, the ball was returned to the outside player again.
"This guy is really!" Coach Mike Milan was eager to change his clothes and go on the court, but the only big man on the team who had an opportunity to attack on his own always passed the ball and wasted a great chance of playing alone.
In fact, if you really want to play alone, Aldridge may not be down, after all, his shooting is a crosshair, and the opposite Marc Gasol can only pull it out at the first moment, once he does two more feints, the opponent still has a great chance to eat and shake.
Marc Gasol is not afraid of physical confrontation, but his lateral speed is too slow, but he is a little afraid of a big forward like Ade, who is fast at his feet.
Because his re-start speed is not as good as the opponent's, he can only rely on the first to block the opponent's shot.
After successive passes, seeing that the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Matthews could only come to a horse archery by himself, which was interfered with by Gay, and the Grizzlies had the offensive ball.
Guy and Li Ming covered each other on the line.
Xiao Jia reached out at the free throw line to ask for money, Li Ming smashed a pass to his hand, Xiao Jia didn't make extra moves, raised his hand was a crisp mid-distance, Aldridge didn't react, watching the ball go into the net.
"Although Ade's jump shot is not bad in the league in the past few years, his style of play is almost no different from his college days, he is still based on jump shots, you can hardly say that he is a center player, not even a power forward, but he can still output 20 points and 10 rebounds steadily every night. Jason Williams also doesn't quite understand the big man's style of play right now.
He had 24 points and 12 rebounds in a head-to-head conversation with Chris Bosh in high school, which is why he could be the star of the list, and the team needed his energy and solid skills.
Li Ming now has more options on the court than Lillard on the opposite side, he can choose to send cannonballs to the interior duo, and he can use Guy's athleticism to bomb the opponent's basket.
What's more, he's got all the skill cards on him to make sure he can at least make a big break in the middle, deliver a brilliant dunk and deliver headlines for tomorrow's magazine, and he's even got the post-game press conference in mind.
What's more, there are still his friends sitting in the stands, and his desire to perform is also very strong, this will be the time to be strong, I saw him glance at Gasol on the inside line and suddenly accelerated, Lillard stretched out his right hand to force him to go to the left again.
But Li Ming was unmoved, and directly blocked Lillard with Gasol's huge body, and he himself strode to the basket, Jeffries hesitated and did not choose to save at the first time, because Li Ming took advantage of the situation to pass the ball out, allowing the big man on the inside to complete the empty basket.
So this time he chose to shrink the defense, and Li Ming took a big step to reduce his speed and came to an easy layup.
81-89, the score opened again, and the Grizzlies will blossom inside and out, making the Trail Blazers a little overwhelmed.
With less than two minutes left in the third quarter, Lillard began to accelerate his dribbling and try to squeeze through the crowd to get into the basketball to shoot, but Gasol was too big for him to break through head-on, after all, there was a guy standing next to him.
Matthews pocketed the ball from the bottom corner, but he didn't stand on his feet, slipped when receiving the ball, and couldn't take advantage of that opportunity, so he had to choose to dribble the ball out of the three-point line and look for a new offensive opportunity.
Guy also grabbed it at this time, "You don't have a chance to continue to score points tonight, you can only bully a rookie like Kenyandurin, you can't beat a player like me." "Guy constantly interferes with his dribbles.
Du Lin, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked confused, "Why am I the one who gets hurt every time?" There were countless question marks in his heart.
Matthews could only force up to Gay in a hurry, but just as he broke through, Gay keenly sensed Lillard's move on the side, and at this time he had escaped Bombset's defense and wanted to catch the ball on the right side.
Guy took a stride directly in front of him, and Matthews saw that his plan was seen through, so he could only force a layup, and Gasol Jr. on the inside shouted, and Randolph pressed down like a left and a right to cover the sky.
Matthews only felt that it was dark in front of him, and in a panic, he made a mistake, and the ball went out of the bottom line.
"Oh, this, no one can break through the ten fingers of these two people, this black and white move can be called a double ghost slam on the door."
Yes, you can dodge the left, you can't dodge the right, you can dodge the first year of junior high school, then you can't dodge the fifteenth, that's how it is!
Coach Hollins on the sidelines clapped vigorously, and a bunch of players on the bench were teasing each other.
"Zach, maybe Time Magazine will ask you to shoot a cover after the game." Conley yelled at him from the sidelines.
Randolph smiled innocently, didn't say a word, and ran forward with his head down, he was going to participate in the next round of attack.
