323 Gasol's comeback
To be exact, it was Milicic's first three-pointer in the NBA.
And for this three-point shot, Li Lei has been training shooting with Milicic since the summer training camp to find a feel.
It took more than two months!
But now, it's worth it.
Don't look at him as a small three-pointer, but it can give Milicic back his confidence.
Li Lei ran to Milicic and high-fived him vigorously: "Darko, well done!" ”
Milicic didn't say a word, but he smiled rarely.
Coach Carlisle on the sidelines also had a good laugh.
A big man who can only defend and a big man who can defend and shoot three-pointers are two different concepts.
This allows him to be more flexible and changeable, and to have more tactical ideas.
……
In this way, the outbursts of Milicic and Varick helped the Grizzlies overtake the score.
The young Grizzlies showed rare resilience and faced off against the Jazz for four quarters.
And at the last moment, it was Li Lei who stood up and made the final decision.
Li Lei scored 7 points on 3-of-4 shooting in the last five minutes to kill the game.
Final.
The Grizzlies have a negative overall record.
Li Lei got a game-high assist, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Varick had 13 points, six rebounds and two blocks.
Milicic had 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, shooting 40% from three-point range.
Gay had 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
On the Jazz side:
Delon had 15 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal.
Boozer rebounded and had three assists.
Kirilenko had 13 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
Oku had nine points and seven rebounds.
Oku didn't play well tonight, and his style of play with Milicic can't be said to be very similar, it's just the same.
The two were once teammates on the Pistons, and both had tough defense and amazing range.
At this time, Milicic's obvious talent beyond a large margin became the key factor in the decisive victory.
It's like: you will, I will. I'm better than you! What are you fighting me for?
……
After this game, it is the annual Christmas.
For this year's Christmas War, the league has only one game scheduled.
Grizzlies ...... Naturally not eligible.
The two sides in the battle are the Heat and the Lakers. That's right, it's the Lake of Fire battle again.
Since the Lakers and Heat met for the first time on Christmas Eve in 2004, this is the third consecutive Christmas Eve battle between the two sides.
The league really squeezed every last bit of value out of the OK portfolio.
……
But for Li Lei, it is finally time to rest.
And before the break, Li Lei also received two pieces of good news.
First, he moved up one spot in the MVP rankings.
Now, only Nowitzki is left above Li Lei.
This season, it has become a competition between Nowitzki and Li Lei.
Second, Li Lei ranked first in the first stage of the just-released All-Star Poll.
If nothing else, Li Lei is likely to be elected All-Star vote king for three consecutive years.
Three-time vote king, Li Lei will be comparable to Dr. J and Carter, second only to the "God of Basketball" Michael? Jordan.
The day before the holiday, Li Lei invited all his teammates, members of the coaching staff, and team staff to his apartment in Memphis for a party.
Now, Li Lei's identity is different, he is the boss of the team and must take on more responsibilities.
A few years ago, in Miami, O'Neill was in charge of this matter.
Now in Memphis, Li Lei is naturally the leader.
In addition to that, he also prepared a variety of gifts for everyone.
Warrick's big gold chain, Lowry's small gold watch, Guy's latest game console, Gasol's custom suit......
Subsequently, Li Lei flew back to Los Angeles to accompany his family for the holiday.
The two-day vacation flew by, and Li Lei had to start his journey again.
After coming back, the Grizzlies won a wave of six consecutive victories with the Wizards, Bucks, Raptors, Houston, Warriors, and Celtics.
The Grizzlies have accumulated a negative record and broke into the top eight in the West in one fell swoop.
And Li Lei also relied on this wave of consecutive wins to surpass Nowitzki in the MVP rankings and rank first.
"Stone is so good that he brought a group of Grizzlies to the top eight in the West."
"yes, Lowry is out for the season, Gasol is out indefinitely, Jones Sr. is getting old, Varick and Guy are a bunch of newcomers, and Milicic is a parallel trader...... At the start of the season, who would have imagined that the Grizzlies would get this far. ”
"If you give Stone some awesome helpers, the Grizzlies won't take off?"
……
Suddenly, Li Lei became famous and has become one of the most watched stars this season.
Especially the sinking of the Heat team, which highlights Li Lei's strength.
"Without Stone, the Heat are nothing."
"This season, it's going to be hard for the Heat to make the playoffs."
"Now, does anyone still question the gold content of Li Lei's two FMVPs?"
……
And at the same time, there was good news from the team doctor.
Paul, the Grizzlies' second-in-command? Gasol has already started recovery training, and Leigh's return is not far off.
On Jan. 7, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs.
On January 9, the Grizzlies lost to the Lakers.
The Grizzlies' record fell to the negative.
It was at this time that the team doctor announced, Paul? Gasol has recovered his fitness and could be back for the next match.
The news made Memphis fans, Chinese fans, and Spanish fans rejoice.
And this game is a home game, the attendance of the FedEx Center has risen another level, and the fans are full of confidence in the home team.
The Grizzlies' opponent is the Timberwolves.
7 p.m.
Appearance ceremony.
The away team comes on first.
Timberwolves:
Center: Mark? Blunt.
Power Forward: Kevin? Garnett.
Small forward: Ricky? Davis.
Shooting Guard: Tren Ton? Hassel.
Defender: Mike? James.
The Grizzlies then played:
Centre-forward: Milicic.
Power forward: Gasol.
Small forward: Li Lei.
Shooting guard: Jones Sr.
Defender: Lou.
Didi!
At the start of the game, in the jump stage, Milicic beat Blunt and turned the ball back to his own half.
The Memphis fans at the scene cheered again.
Taryn? Lu dribbled steadily across the half court, and habitually went to Li Lei as soon as possible.
However, tonight's Li Lei didn't mean to catch the ball at all, but walked outside the three-point line to help his teammates open up space.
Old Lou's reaction was quick, and he immediately went to Gasol again.
Gasol also received the ball smoothly.
This made Lao Lu breathe a sigh of relief.
Back in the Lakers, every time Kobe and O'Neal yelled at him at the same time: "Give me that damn basketball!" Old Lu wanted to die.
And now, Li Lei actually took the initiative to give up power.
