Just like the people of Oklahoma in the new season are crazy because of the "Thunder Double Less......

Memphis, the city that only had its first NBA team in 2001, has renewed hope after a brief splendor of Gasol Jr.

If you look at the history of the Grizzlies, you will be very surprised to find that this team really has no stars to talk about.

As a member of the NBA's expansion plan, the Grizzlies established in Vancouver, Canada in 1995, the entire team is only 14 years old, and even Lin Mu's age is not comparable.

In 1996, with the advent of the golden age, the Grizzlies, as the youngest team in the league, deservedly qualified for the first round of the show, and selected all-round forward Abdul Rahim.

This powerful golden generation and Rivers of the team at that time formed a well-known killer group in the NBA.

In 1998, the team brought in defender Mike Bibby again. 、

Although there is no shortage of stars in the Grizzlies at this time, it is a pity that the record has always been lackluster.

In the 21st century, the team gradually became competitive after the selection of Spanish star Pau Gasol, and made the playoffs several times, but never won a single playoff game.

This is also the reason why Pau Gasol was made a soft egg by others.

Until now, the Grizzlies have not been able to break this spell, and the people of Memphis have fallen into despair after Pau Gasol's departure.

It wasn't until this year, when promising rookie Russell Westbrook was drafted, along with Marc Gasol from Spain, that they saw hope that the team could rise again.

They have never been the darlings of the NBA, and they can only hope for themselves to develop their chosen stars, because no big name wants to come to this young team with little reputation.

At that time, the NBA was like this, and the vast majority of teams could only develop their own selected potential rookies, and those teams that could recruit superstars were few and far between.

Not at all like later generations, after the Miami Big Three started to form a team, more and more superstars began to get together, their way of survival changed, and Nowitzki became the last superstar to lead the team and win the championship.

On the evening of November 24, when Durant, who was called every day and ineffective, walked out of the training hall in prostration, Oklahoma Du Xiaoshuai slapped Lin Mu's waist with a cotton punch.

Is he Durant easy?

Finally had a little time to rest, and was dragged over by this hateful demon to train, such days were dark, and this kind of life was not what Durant expected.

Lin Mu, this bastard, why don't you go to Jeff Green, why don't you go to Kyle Lowry, catch me every day to pick up wool, is it really that happy?

To tell the truth, Lin Mu really wanted to say to Durant: Really happy!

"Ding, congratulations to the host Kevin Durant's character friendship has increased by ten points."

"Current Relationship Figure: Kevin Durant (80/100)"

"Elements of character relationship template building: [Durant - Death Shot]!"

[Durant - Death Shot]: The current proficiency is 50%.

Effect: Slightly increases the host's mid-range shooting percentage.

Not to mention, the friendship of the innocent boy Durant is really rising too fast, if he hadn't known in his previous life that this was a contractor who liked women, Lin Mu would have stayed away from him.

It's just that the proficiency of this [Durant-Death Shot] is really slow, although Lin Mu trains with Durant every day and practices mid-range shooting together, the effect is still not good.

Compared with Lefu's [Rebounding Monster] and Wei Shao's [Galloping], Lin Mu's training and improvement are extremely slow when it comes to shooting player skills.

Perhaps, this is the disparity brought about by individual talent?

Every NBA player has something they are good at, and they will have some specialties in a certain area, such as Yin Baka's 28...

Ahem, it's far away.

All in all, NBA players with distinctive characteristics are easy to survive on the court, while those jack-of-all-trades players, with the exception of a few individuals, have a hard time surviving on the court.

Every player's responsibilities are different, and each player's different responsibilities will bring different talent differences.

Some are good at shooting, some are good at defense, and some are good at organizing offense...

If you can do one of these well, you can earn a place on the team, even if you may be the most marginalized player, and you can survive in the NBA.

And when you can do better and expand in a certain area of expertise, the All-Star spot is just around the corner.

Lin Mu's physical talent is extremely good, and his super efficiency on the defensive end ranks among the top ten in the league.

The talent point seems to be a little crooked, the shooting performance has been tepid, and the improvement speed seems to be unusually slow.

Just like the Greek monster Brother Alphabet in the future, this thing worked very hard to practice shooting in the offseason, and his performance on the court can also prove that Brother Alphabet continues to improve on the outside.

2k

But the improvement is too slow, compared to those players who can practice shooting in a year, it is tantamount to being crushed by talent.

"It's okay, hard work can make up for it, I'm only 19 years old, and I still have a lot of time to improve myself."

Lin Mu could only comfort himself like this, and then unhappily hammered Durant beside him.

Durant: "......"

Did I provoke you?

Of course Lin Mu won't tell Durant, I'm jealous of your shooting talent!

"Okay, Kevin, this game is vital to us, even though it's not broadcast live in the United States."

"You don't want to lose to the rookies on the other side, do you?"

"Rest well tonight and try to beat them on the pitch tomorrow!"

Durant's state is the most critical part of completing the plan tomorrow, and he can't drop the chain.

Durant rolled his eyes at Lin Mu and let Lin Mu experience it himself.

Uncomfortable.

My dreams, my keyboard, my surfing...

Do you have to eat noodles after training?

So, it's all you lying to me!

No!

None of them!

Durant is in a desperate mood at the moment.

But fortunately, Durant's professionalism is still very good, and after arriving at the Federal Express Arena, Durant's inner universe burned again.

In other words, the largest public facility in the entire city of Memphis is only this Federal Express Arena, which was built in recent years, and only the Grizzlies rent it.

But as the hometown of Elvis Presley, it has long been the preferred venue for countless artists to hold solo concerts.

And then well....

It's a little unnoticed.

Like some small ball markets, Memphis is not in a good place, and although they brought in the prestigious "LOGO" man Jerry West in 2002, the final result did not make a substantial breakthrough.

It is worth mentioning that after Lin Mu came to Memphis, Wei Shao never called Lin Mu, and Lin Mu called Wei Shao's side and it was always turned off.

"The aircraft carrier of friendship, how can you say that it will be overturned?"

There's no way, Lin Mu can't run to the Grizzly Bears' training ground, and then have to go head-to-head with Wei Shao at someone's home stadium, right?

It's unrealistic, and you might have to be beaten to death by the other side.

ran over to provoke before the game started, just afraid that Lin Mu would become famous in the NBA.

The Thunder arrived at the arena two hours early, and the owner of the arena was a little late.

It seems that the driver is a little confused and runs the wrong way.

What could be more outrageous than that?

I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?

This made Wei Shao, who was already nervous, dumbfounded, TMD might as well stay in Minnesota, what is going on!

And just when the Grizzly Bears entered the arena together, Wei Shao walked alone at the end, and his face looked a little bad.

He will come.

Be brave enough to face your current self!

The Oklahoma City star, who wore the No. 9 jersey, was warming up at the arena at this time.

Rudy Gayin, who saw Wei Shao's thoughts, took the initiative to help him take the backpack, and patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Russell, don't worry, we will do our best today to help you defeat that hateful guy!" ”

"And what if you are defeated by the other side?" Wei Shao said helplessly.

At least in terms of record standings, the Thunder are now in ninth place in the West, much better than them in the bottom three.

Gai Yin looked at Wei Shao with a surprised expression, why is this kid so pessimistic today?

"The opposite side is also a youth army, we are definitely not weaker than them in terms of talent, and we win more at home!"

Gai Yin has been getting more and more distressed recently, because this kid is training too crazy, and the whole person is about to be stunned.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, I will definitely adjust myself as soon as possible, and I won't hold you back today."

Thinking of his performance in the last game, Wei Shao felt a burst of angina.

It's too much...

Recently, it seems that something is wrong with me.

However, under Gai Yin's comfort, Wei Shao's mood was not so bad.

Oh, come on, Lin, let me see how amazing you are as the player at the top of the rookie rankings!

......

When changing into equipment for the pre-game warm-up, Lin Mu finally met Wei Shao.

Compared with him before, Wei Shao's small head has some hair, his face looks a little haggard, and he has no spirit from college at all.

Wearing the number 0 jersey, Wei Shao was not conspicuous in this team, because Rudy Gayin's appearance stole everyone's attention.

As a player who averaged 20+ per game last season, the absolute core of this Grizzlies team is naturally Rudy Gayin.

His physical fitness, height, long arms, and incredible bounce power make him a regular performer for gliding dunks in competitions.

Technically well-rounded, impactful, and defensively good, he took on the responsibility of leading the Grizzlies in 2006-07 when they faced massive injuries.

Jerry West, then president of the Grizzlies, was bullish on Gayin, praising him for his ability to shoot from any angle and could potentially be the next Kobe.

The hardware is excellent, but the software is a little lacking.

Like Maddie at the beginning, Gai Yin often can't play energetically, his concentration is not concentrated enough, and his efficiency on the defensive end is also somewhat inefficient, and his overall performance is even worse than that of Maddie at the beginning.

Compared with Kobe Bryant, who is full of spirit and fighting spirit, Gai Yin's career has not met people's expectations for him, which can be regarded as a pity.

"Lin, why don't you go over and say hello to your little brother?" Durant poked Lin Mu and asked curiously.

"No need, go and say hello to him now, he will think that I am provoking him."

You must know that just because Lin Mu was shooting and warming up, Wei Shao's eyes kept wandering on the Thunder half.

Thinking of Wei Shao's irritable little mood, Lin Mu felt that once he walked over, this aircraft carrier of friendship would be completely sinking!

The ambitious words released by the two when they graduated, Lin Mu is going farther and farther on this road, and Wei Shao seems to be a little behind.

Although the friendship between the two has been full, the system still can't affect the problem of personal self-esteem.

On the other side, Wei Shao naturally found a picture of talking and laughing between Lin Mu and Durant, and now he is in a somewhat complicated mood.

On the one hand, he didn't want Lin Mu to come over to greet him, but on the other hand, he felt that Lin Mu was a little uninteresting.

Not interesting enough!

It's so uninteresting!

Looking at the basketball in his hand, Wei Shao threw the ball out hatefully.

Marc Gasol taps his toes and performs a pre-match heavy dunk!

"Hey, Mark, I've seen that picture, that kid is the one you took with the Olympics, right?" On the side, Mike Conley laughed.

Little Gasol glanced at Lin Mu opposite: "Yes, this kid caught me a good lesson in the Olympics." ”

"I really didn't take him seriously at first, but I didn't expect that his strength was unexpected."

Thinking of the scene of the match between Spain and China, the figure running all over the field seemed so impressive.

"I really didn't expect him to be so good after entering the NBA."

"To be able to beat Derrick Ross is already a very remarkable act."

......

As the night approached, so did the Grizzlies fans at Federal Express Arena.

There are no big-name stars, but in the audience in the front row, Lin Mu saw the familiar figure.

Kendall Jenner, why is she here again?

European and American women are generally bolder, although Jenna is only 14 years old now, she still boldly expresses her heart to Lin Mu.

Those eyes full of charm stayed on Lin Mu, looking intently at the man who was shining on the court.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't care about Jenna's series of actions at all, not to mention that she was only 14 years old now, even if she was 24 years old, Lin Mu was not interested.

The Kardashian family is not vegetarian, and if you have a relationship with them, you will inevitably get into trouble.

Federal Express Arena, with the big screen giving tonight's start, the atmosphere of the whole scene instantly reached a climax.

"Sure enough, the stickiness of the fans in the small ball market is still very high."

Grizzlies: Mike Conley, Russell Westbrook, Rudy Gayin, Darko Milicic, Marc Gasol

Thunder: Lowry, Sephorosa, Lin Mu, Durant, Jordan Jr

Young, the most watery show in the platinum era, Darko Mirisic was actually in the Grizzlies.

Looking at the white man who was 2.13 meters tall, Lin Mu looked a little surprised.

Once upon a time, Detroit's Milicic was derided by fans as a "cigar of human victory," and whenever the Pistons took a big lead, Larry Brown sent the talented boy on the court to pick up the slack.

One thing to say, Milicic's individual talent deserves to be recognized, otherwise the Pistons would not have used the No. 2 pick to take this all-round interior player who can be inside and out.

It's just that then-coach Larry Brown was disgusting enough, and during his time with the Pistons, Milicic played very little playing time, averaging about 4 minutes per game, and he was completely inconsistent with the status of a star player, but like a temporary worker who signed an unguaranteed contract with the team in the summer league.

Although the Pistons defeated the Lakers in the playoffs that year and won the final championship trophy, Lin Mu never thought it was Larry Brown's credit.

Milicic has fallen to this day, and Larry Brown has an inescapable responsibility, the stubborn coach who set the world's most ridiculous record at the 2004 Olympics, leading the U.S. men's basketball team to a third-place finish and a bronze medal.

And James and Anthony don't even have 5 minutes of playing time in a game under his coaching philosophy.

You must know that James in 2004 already has a super personal level, and it is understandable to say that Anthony is abandoned, but James's abandonment is a bit ridiculous in Lin Mu's opinion.

Sean Marion, Richard Jefferson, and Lamar Odom, just with these stinky fish and shrimp, can replace James' playing position.

It was perhaps the worst game of James' career.

"I don't know if this person can be rescued, and the basic salary is signed, and it shouldn't be a loss."

Make a note of Milicic, who will also be in Li Xuan's reinforcement plan.

Jordan Jr. and Marc Gasol jumped the ball inside, the Thunder's first attack, and Lin Mu found his good brother directly through the blocking: Russell Westbrook!

On the pitch, there is no such thing as brotherhood.

[Romance between men] is not only reflected in the tacit cooperation on the court, the eyes meet, and the fighting spirit of the two skyrockets!

Little turtle turtle, your Brother Lin Mu is going to love you well!

Back hit!

In the first round, Lin Mu was full of firepower and chose the most secure way to attack.

"Damn, this person doesn't talk about martial arts!"

Willis struggles to defend his top defense, and although his physicality is superior among defenders, it is difficult to resist a good player at the small forward position.

Near the top of the paint area, the Grizzlies' assistance defense was very fast, and Milicic opened his long arms to try to interfere with Lin Mu's offensive line.

In the next second, Lin Mu threw the ball directly into the sky.

Durant rose up in response and completed the pick-and-roll frame!

In other words, having a strong teammate really saves a lot of trouble.

Looking at the tacit cooperation between Durant and Lin Mu, Wei Shao's face turned pale.

"! Isn't this a copy of me and Lin Mu in college? ”

That's how the two played on the court during the UCLA era.

Now, the new person changes the old person, and I will become your Mrs. Niu?

Holding back his strength, Wei Shao's first attack was a little up.

Carrying the explosives bag to hit the inside line, little Jordan will not get used to you, super bouncing talent, and flying Wei Shao's offensive fan out of the field.

It's coming, Wei Shao's brainless bombardment.

Hollins covered his head, and for your opening performance, you want me to give you 40 minutes of playing time?

"Hey! Russell, calm down! ”

Gai Yin pushed Wei Shao, trying to calm the latter down.

"I'm sorry, my..."

Taking a deep breath, Wei Shao eased his mind.

When facing Lin Mu, he always couldn't control his emotions, which was really terrible.

Serving on the sideline, Conley, who is as steady as an old dog, does not have the physical fitness of Wei Shao, but he has a more calm mind and knows what he should do on the court.

Although the combination of Willis and Conley is a little lacking in height, the two have been excellent on the defensive end, and with the complementary styles of play, the two-year partnership should make a difference.

Find Marc Gasol, a shield-shaped center forward from Spain who has a nimble attacking hand and excellent attacking footwork.

Sitting on little Jordan's body, Uncle Huang only felt that all his internal organs were about to be staggered, and if he didn't pay attention, little Gasol turned around directly and hit with a hook hand.

In the face of such an inside center, Jordan Jr.'s disadvantages are very obvious, and if it is the boxing champion Tyson, the effect will never be so bad.

"It's okay, you're still the best, believe in yourself, you can find a way to limit the other side."

was easily hit by the other party, little Jordan seemed depressed, Lin Mu poured a meal of chicken soup, and this thing became a hundred times more energetic.

Today, the Thunder's offense is very simple, that is, Lin Mu and Durant play blocking and dismantling, and no matter what kind of defensive lineup the Grizzlies send, they can't stop the strong cooperation between the two.

Gai Yin can't stop Lin Mu, Milicic can't stop Durant, and Darrell Arthur on the bench is Lin Mu's defeat, losing to the UCLA Bruins led by Lin Mu in the NCAA Finals.

Unstoppable, the Thunder Twins played an extremely fluid offense at the Federal Express Arena in the most efficient way.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Grizzlies 32-22 by ten points, and while Lin Du and the two combined for 22 points, they also delivered 6 assists and three blocks.

Grizzly bears, on the other hand, struggled unusually to fight.

Wei Shao's uncalm handling of the ball made him replaced by Hollins in the middle of the game, and he could only sit on the bench and watch Lin Mu and Durant's duo performance stupidly.

The unwilling mood came to his heart again, and Wei Shao wanted to vent, but he couldn't do anything.

They work together so well that maybe Durant is a better fit.

And I, have been abandoned.

It's just that during the interval, there was an accident on the field......
