The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 126 The Quiet Dressing Room

Chapter 126 The Quiet Dressing Room

With the whistle of the referee, 61 to 59, the Grizzlies in the away game led by two points and ended the first half of the competition.

The players enter the locker room to rest.

"Lee, your stats in the first half were 11 points and 4 assists, but you have to pay attention, you have already committed three fouls." Hollins beat his disciple with a tactical board on the side.

The fight with Rondo consumed too much of his physical strength, and now he is sitting, panting heavily with his upper body naked.

Guy was lying with his hands folded, wearing earphones with a relaxed look. Hollins walked to his side and took a look before walking away.

In back-to-back matches, he didn't want to put too much pressure on his disciples. It would be nice to have a rest for a while, and he didn't make any special tactical arrangements.

To be honest, it is very difficult for the current Celtics team to block the Grizzlies' double inside combination. Once Xiaojia and Randolph appear on the court at the same time in the second half, it is time to really widen the point difference.

Li Ming didn't think too much about the game itself, he was looking forward to the important matter of where to go on a date with Lele after returning to Memphis.

What to eat, where to go, what projects, whether to bring his brother and Daniel, etc. In short, everything is related to Wang Lele, and her mind is full of her now.

"Think of spring." Guy didn't know when he appeared beside him.

"Go away, aren't you tired? You played for 40 minutes in the first half, don't you need a buffer?" Li Ming looked at him with disgust.

"It's buffering now." Guy pointed to his earphones.

Bayless wasn't part of their conversation, he was trying to take off his socks and dip his feet into the ice bucket in front of him.

Judging from his facial expression, his foot injury should be serious, and it will be very painful.

But there is no way, no matter how injured you are, you have to go. I am not Conley, so I can't be the main force immediately after returning. If there is an injury at this time, once a newcomer comes on top, the coach is likely to give up his own in the next time. chess pieces.

Competitive sports are like this, opportunities will always land on the heads of those who are prepared.At the same time, this is two-way. Too many stars have lost their place after coming back after experiencing injuries.

For details, you can refer to Granger of the Pacers before. Before the injury, he was an All-Star small forward averaging 24 points per game and the team's top player. But when he returned from his injury, he found that he had no place for him.

Today's team is supporting Paul George, and everything has to be compromised for him. Later, Granger could no longer play the previous state and fell.Examples like this abound.

Not to mention Bayless, he was born as a grassroots player, and he is even more concerned about gains and losses.

Li Ming touched his knee involuntarily. His knee was seriously injured in his previous life, and he was troubled by it for a while, but now with the blessing of the system, he naturally doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

What he has to do is to make himself stronger quickly, realize his dream as soon as possible with the blessing of the system, become a qualified NBA starter, and become a super scorer who can score 25 points per game. up.

On the other hand, in the Celtics' locker room, Rondo is still sitting in the center with his upper body bare, and his locker is there.

Bradley sat not far from him, and Wallace on the side was discussing something in a low voice with Sullinger, who hadn't gotten a chance to play tonight.

Courtney Lee was sitting upright, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

"Hey Courtney, you really don't want to go down and become a meditator? At least you can try to sign up for a class." It was Bradley who spoke.

After two or three years of rapid growth, this kid now has the confidence and confidence to speak loudly with Big Brother, and even make jokes about them.

"Oh, I would like to, but I don't think they can pay enough checks." Courtney Li replied quietly.

Rivers and his assistant are concentrating on watching the various data of the night with an IPAD. At this moment, he is also thinking about how to change his tactics in the second half.

The Grizzlies' offense first opened up the situation through hard gouging inside, and then Gasol at the top of the arc handled the ball. His choice determined the Grizzlies' main style of play in the next few rounds.

After Gasol left the field, the Grizzlies' offense was mainly concentrated in the hands of Li Ming and Bayless on the outside.

These two occupied a lot of the ball, and sometimes Hollins even took a small man to push Gay to the fourth position, using Gay's flexible feet to attack the opponent's power forward.

The Knicks before suffered this loss and almost lost.

However, I have Gerald Wallace and Jeff Green in my hands. Both of them are players who can play both small forward and power forward positions at the same time, and their footwork is not bad.

The only disadvantage is Randolph on the inside. Since Garnett left, the team has no players who can confront Zach Randolph head-on, which makes him a headache.

Randolph has flexible footwork and soft touch, and is almost invincible in the interior. Even if he pulls to the outside, he has the ability to attack the frame, which is a strong point that no team dares to let go.

Now the only way is to transfer him from the inside, cut off his connection with Li Ming and others on the outside, isolate him as much as possible, prevent him from receiving the ball comfortably, and keep him as far away from the basket as possible.

"Gerald, if I let you play the fifth position, can you stand up to Zach?" Rivers suddenly asked Wallace.

"Well, coach, I think I can go around the front and defend, so I can break his first pass and force him to catch the ball or finish away from the basket." Wallace's suggestion is still very reasonable. , It seems that he did not think much about Randolph.

"Yeah, Randolph's attack on the right side of the basket is concentrated, and his left turn is clumsy, and the teammate closest to you will come to help you defend the whole time." Rivers added.

"You have to pounce on the pick-and-roll of the two small men on the line. Both of them have three-point baskets. According to the scout report, Du Lin even reached 44% at one point." He turned his head to Brad Deli and Rondo.

Li Ming's ball-holding threat on the outside is still very great. He can finish shooting on the line, or go in the middle and choose to pass the ball to his teammates in the corners on both sides, and even directly dunk and score.The most important thing is that his turnaround jump shot in the three-second zone under the basket is also very accurate, so he has to guard against it.
