Chapter 1062 Yangmou and the Meat Grinder

Chapter 1062 Yangmou and the Meat Grinder

You know, this is something Lillard dreamed of but has never been able to do, but Jokic did it in the end.

After the game, Jokic praised Jokic's sudden outbreak during the Blazers' winning streak, thinking that the Blazers should be the second leader this season, not Lillard.

At the same time, ESPN's expert team also provoked an intriguing question, that is:

When Aldridge returns from injury at the end of the season, can Jokic, who has just played a career highlight, accept the original sixth man position in the team?

Obviously, these unscrupulous media are doing something!

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a major problem that the Blazers must face in the future.

Aldridge, born in 1985, is now 31 years old, which is actually a rather embarrassing age.If he reaches the age of 32 in another year, then Aldridge will enter the ranks of veterans, and the Blazers management will have a high probability of choosing Jokic, who is in his early twenties, to take the top position.

But the problem is that Aldridge is only 31 years old now, and he is still at the end of his peak period, and he was also the absolute second leader during the Blazers' three consecutive championships, second only to Wang Zelin in the credit list.

If the Trail Blazers choose to announce the complete restoration of Jokic at this time, it will undoubtedly make this meritorious veteran feel chilling.

Don't forget, why did he suffer such a heavy blow?

Isn't it for the pioneer's dynasty dominance!

Now they are abandoned when they are injured, who will play for the Blazers wholeheartedly in the future?

Therefore, in order to play in the long run, when Aldridge returns from injury at the end of the season, he will definitely return to the starting lineup.

Otherwise, what do you let the fellow villagers in the team think?

But with this arrangement, Jokic's side will also become very messy.

Jokic, who was born in 1995, just turned 21 years old, is at the age when his skills are crazy. After replacing Aldridge as the starting power forward this season, he performed so well. He played a regular season hard and waited until the end of the season. Replace him...

Will this make Jokic feel strange?

People are fickle, and no one can tell. What will Jokic, who seems harmless to humans and animals in front of him, think then?

Don't forget, behind Jokic, there are also a group of young rookies who support him.

No matter how harmonious the team is, there will always be different small groups inside. This is determined by human nature and can hardly be changed.

Therefore, ESPN's trick is a naked conspiracy. It puts the embarrassing problems that the Trail Blazers will face in the future on the table in advance, trying to force them to make a choice now.

Once the Blazers management responds positively, no matter who they choose, it will hurt another person and the interest group represented by that person.

Taking a step back, even if the pioneers choose to ignore this problem temporarily, the seeds have already been planted, and there will always be a day when they will grow into a big tree in the sky.

No matter how small the crack is, it cannot conceal the fact that it has already appeared.

Needless to say, the ESPN expert team is absolutely professional in terms of mentality, and is worthy of the title of "expert".

So, how will the Trail Blazers choose?

……

After playing the Magic, the Blazers will usher in a difficult four-game streak.

On the 12th, the team came to Memphis, the first stop of the four-game streak, one day earlier.

Tomorrow night, their family will have a big fight with the famous hard-boned Grizzlies in the league. Regardless of winning or losing, it is certain that they will lose a layer of skin.

On the afternoon of the 13th, there were still three hours before the start of the game, and players from both sides were being interviewed before the game.

The process of the Grizzlies is normal. The questions raised by the reporters are basically how the Grizzlies players view their opponents tonight and whether the Grizzlies are confident to win.

But when it came to the Blazers, the painting style immediately changed.

The reporters on the scene, without exception, were all asking questions about the future position conflict between Jokic and Aldridge.

In this regard, the Blazers management is naturally not stupid enough to publicly say who they will choose, and decided to ignore this issue first.

There is no way, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

Unless one of them is willing to make voluntary concessions, otherwise, this problem is destined to be unsolvable.

But is this possible?

Few people are willing to sacrifice their own interests to help others.

In the interview after the game, Wang Zelin didn't take the bait, and instead focused the interview on helping Jokic's All-Star canvassing.

"Nikola Jokic's first thigh during our recent five-game winning streak. With his strength, I think he deserves the honor of an All-Star! So please don't be stingy with the small tickets in your hands. Please, everyone..."

After an hour of fuss, the press conference was finally over.

"call!"

Wang Zelin let out a mouthful, then returned to the locker room with Coach Terry, and began to warm up for the evening game.

At 19 o'clock in the evening, FedEx Arena.

In this arena that can accommodate 19 people, the Blazers and Grizzlies battle is imminent.

So far, the performance of the Grizzlies has finally come to an end, and the record has basically remained above 7%, hovering between 8, 9, and [-] in the Western Conference rankings.

The record is average and the ranking is not high. This does not mean that the strength of the Grizzlies is very low.

On the contrary, this is the tough bone that has been known throughout the league in the past 5 or 6 years. If it is not necessary, no one would want to encounter this Grizzlies.

Since 10, the core framework of the Grizzlies has basically remained unchanged. It mainly revolves around the "black and white bears" Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol on the inside, Mike Conley on the outside, and Tony Allen on the bench.

Facts have proved that the Grizzlies' lineup is indeed very hard. Although the upper limit is not high, it is enough to cause headaches for every opponent.

Under the fierce defense of the Grizzlies, the entire Blazers team seemed to be covered with a weak buff, and the shooting rate was so hard to see.

After halftime, 43:40, the Blazers led the Grizzlies by three points.

At the same time, it also set their lowest score in the first half so far this season.

After 15 minutes, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Just when the crowd was expecting something different in this game, they were once again disappointed as the game progressed.

"Duang! Duang! Duang..."

On the field, in addition to striking iron or striking iron.

This game is destined to be a meat grinder battle with the theme of meaning, defense and iron blood.

After three quarters, the Blazers expanded their lead to a certain extent, but not much... 62:57, leading the Grizzlies by 5 points.

Emmm, with 62 points in three quarters, also set a new low in the first three quarters of the season.

end.

"DuangDuangDuang..." voices came and went.

At this time, the fans were already numb, and chose to close their eyes and use their ears to "appreciate" this fierce matchup tonight.

Isn't it intense?

That's so hard, a certain number 24 in Los Angeles who didn't want to be named came, and he had to call the expert directly!

After the game, the Trail Blazers only scored 87 points. As an active offensive team with an average of nearly 130 points per game, not only did they not score more than 90 points tonight, they didn't even reach [-] points, which shows how low the offensive efficiency is tonight.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies were less efficient than the Blazers, scoring only 15 points in the final quarter, but the Blazers broke out in the final quarter, and the team scored 25 points.

But the Grizzlies were even more ignorant. The team only scored 15 points in the final quarter, a full 10 points less than the Blazers.

In the end, the Blazers "beat" the Grizzlies by 87 points in an away game 72:15.

I don't know, I thought it was a crushing game.

Only those who have watched the whole game know how difficult this game is?

Not only the players are suffering, but the fans watching the game are even more suffering...
