647 Not to be underestimated
The Awakening of the Great Demon King
The Grizzlies started well. After the first quarter, they actually led by 4 points with -12. In the second quarter, Chamberlain and Billups and other main players sat on the bench, and the Grizzlies also replaced the substitute.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Tabitt replaced Gasol Jr. and became the center. He used his height advantage to beat Evans, but obviously he underestimated the latter. Evans could make a living in the league, but it was up to his tough defense. Tabitt almost pushed Evans down after getting the ball. He couldn't hold on at all. He lost the position several times in the match with Evans, and was finally blown away by a violation of the rules.
Curry took the ball and advanced quickly. When he arrived at the frontcourt, he passed the ball to West, covering the latter's breakthrough, and turned around and ran out of the bottom corner three-point line. Ibaka and Jackson met West from the left and right wings, and the Grizzlies' defense line was torn apart, and West quickly rushed in and dunked.
The Grizzlies' substitutes were also inspired by the main players. When they saw that they had hope of winning, they were immediately excited. If they could win two consecutive victories at home, they would be majestic. With this idea, the Grizzlies' players were very aggressive, especially the rookie Sam Young, who was very excited to play on such an important substitute time and cherished this opportunity.
Sam Young is a body man with a very long arm span and a strong physique. He was selected by the Grizzlies in the second round, which means he has a strong combat power because he finished his four years of college and entered the NHAR spoon. Although he is a physical forward, he practices mid-range shots hard in college and is a reliable mid-range and long-range shooter. Hollins replaced him on the court because although he has a variety of offensive methods, he is meticulous on the defensive end. He also abides by the team's tactical arrangements on the court and usually does not use gambling defensive strategies.
Conley and Sam made a pick-and-roll, and the latter caught the ball from 2 feet away and made a jump shot, Yu Qianliso scored two points. West attacked the basket again, but the Grizzlies sent out a double tower tactic. Haddadi ff Tabitt was over 2 meters tall. West avoided Haddadi but did not avoid Tabitt. Of course, the latter had a strong blocking ability, and he blocked the ball thrown by West.
But West made a contribution immediately. When Haddadi beat Ibaka on his back, the Mad Dogs quietly killed him and rushed out from behind to steal the ball. The Warriors organized a fast break counterattack. Curry rushed to the frontcourt and joined West. Conley and Sam Young bet that West would attack hard. As a result, Curry received his pass from outside the three-point line and scored a three-point shot.
The substitute lineups of both sides were very popular. Then Conley broke through and passed the ball and joined forces with Sam Young again. The latter followed up with a dunk, perfectly showing his excellent physical fitness. In the first half of this quarter, Sam Young and Conley became the main attackers of the Grizzlies. The two teamed up to win 9 points in the first 1 point in the team.
Old Nelson was very depressed when he was beaten. He couldn't help asking the assistant coaches: "Where did that rookie come out? So fierce?"
Sam Yang has a good mentality, and in addition, he is very physically tiring and can play two positions in No. 3 and 4, and often makes misplaced singles with his opponents. Ibaka doesn't have much difficulty in dealing with him, but Sam Yang is very smart and always uses his opponent's cover to avoid Ibaka.
Old Nelson replaced Ty Gibson and Chamberlain, and the Grizzlies still used Haddadi and Tabitt lineups, anyway, this is what Hollins used to deal with Chamberlain
After Chamberlain came on the court, he slapped Tabit twice. After all, he was a classmate from the training camp. He stood on the free throw line and waited for Curry to make a free throw. He asked Tabit: "Boy, how are you doing recently?"
Tabit smiled silly and said, "My family is pretty good. I have paid back all the debts in my family. As long as the team pays me a salary, our lives will be better."
Chamberlain was amused and crying. He actually asked how he played recently and who cares about his life. Tabit's life is indeed hard, and he can't make a lot of money. The No. 1 pick Griffin still carries several advertising contracts even after being reimbursed, and it just takes time to shoot advertisements.
Because Tabitt is a center, he has no sneaker contacted him and is unwilling to ask him to be an endorsement. Unless he is as strong as Chamberlain, the big man will not sell shoes. Except for sports brands, other advertisers are even more unwilling to spend money on him, because although he is the second place, the previous game is really bad. Many experts say that he is the second place and his fame is still unfamiliar, so naturally the beauty is willing to invest money in him.
Curry made two free throws, Chamberlain celebrated with him, then ran to the frontcourt, waiting for the Grizzlies' attack, which was still organized by Conley. Sam Young was waiting in the three-point line again to prepare for cover. Hades, who had a stronger strength, blocked Chamberlain, and Conley passed the ball over and continued to run in. Hades passed the ball back again. At this time, Sam Young helped him with a cover, and Conley made a big move into the penalty area.
Gibson let go of Tabit and made up for defense from the wing. Conley rushed to the depths of the penalty area before passing the ball to Sam Young, helping the latter to open up the space.
Sam Young took the ball and turned around, taking two steps like a bull, but then stopped and jumped, showing a good tactical cultivation.
Unfortunately, Chamberlain is now guarding the inside of the Warriors. The latter jumped from the front and took the air like a helicopter. He waved his cap on the ball and racquetted the racket.
Curry signaled his teammates to slow down. He ran a few steps. Chamberlain stuck with Haddadi and wanted to play a single, so he threw the ball in.
Seeing this, Haddadi hurriedly resisted Chamberlain, and Hollins also stood up and shouted at Tabit: "Doublemate, hey, man, go up and double-team him."
Haddadi and Tabit are both tall and relatively flexible inside players. They are not strong. Chamberlain is too lazy to use any fantasy dance steps to deal with them. He pushed the basket wildly. Haddadi was hit behind and couldn't stand it. He had to get out of the penalty area. Chamberlain took a step forward and jumped up and dunked in the air.
Tabit's closure suddenly disappeared.
Gibson, who is similar to Sam Young, specifically targeted Sam Young. Conley was forced back several times of passing. The two insiders had poor attack ability, but they had no choice, so he broke through and passed the ball to Tabit. Jackson defended Tabit. The two had a lot of height difference, which had already formed a misaligned defense. However, Tabit's shooting level was very poor. He could not play to his height advantage and once again played singles at the basket.
Jackson was very powerful. After holding Tabit, West and Gibson came up to press. Tabit quickly put away the ball. He tiptoed to find his teammates. When he saw Sam Young passing the ball, Curry, who was waiting next to him, rushed out quickly and broke the ball.
Hollins was extremely angry, and opened his arms and kept yelling, "Old Nelson shook his head and said, "It seems that the Memphis people have indeed wasted a precious second-hand pick. This child is a parallel product. His abilities cannot be eaten in the NHA."
Chamberlain was present, and the Warriors naturally took him as the core. Chamberlain waved to the wing, then turned flexibly, attracting Hades to retreat, and then he made a step back jump shot. Tabit roared and jumped to block him, but this was a false move. Chamberlain once again pulled the ball down and took his right foot, avoiding Hades who was returning to defense and threw the ball into the ring.
Hollins shook his head helplessly and shouted to the players on the field: "How can I believe you like this?"
Hades is a national player of the Iranian men's basketball team after all. After all, he was denied by Hollins so that his self-esteem was extremely injured and he took the initiative to ask for the ball when attacking again. It was difficult for him to walk into the NHAR spoon road, so he attaches great importance to opportunities.
Like all the teenagers who are determined to become famous on the basketball court, Haddadi also hopes to enter the NHA as soon as possible when he was 19 years old. He signed up for the 204 NH Draft, but failed. However, he was known by NHAR scouts for the first time, and at the same time, this also allowed him to sign with any NHAI team as a free agent.
In July 26, NHA President Stern invited the Iranian men's basketball team to participate in the Rocky Mountain Summer League held in Salt Lake City. Some people believe that this is a kind of "basketball diplomacy" and that the relationship between the United States and Iran is so bad that it is famous around the world. In the summer league at that time, Haddadi averaged 14.0 points, 16 rebounds and 26 blocks per game. Such excellent performance made him favored by some NHAI teams, including the Grizzlies and other teams extended an olive branch to him.
But unexpectedly, there are "business transaction restrictions" between American companies and Iranian citizens, and the federal government prohibits American citizens and companies from organizing commercial contracts with Iranians. On B. 15, 26, the NHA issued a ban on Haddadi. NHAO notified the managers of each team: It is not allowed to negotiate contracts with Haddadi. Fortunately, the US government does not want to have such an embarrassing result in "basketball diplomacy". After negotiations, the US government approved the NHA to enjoy the privileges of the Office of Foreign Assets Control and allow the NHAI team to discuss contracts with Haddadi, but the team must retain all contract negotiation texts, so that Haddadi can enter the NH
Chamberlain used the back defense method to defend Haddadi, and he got stuck in the back, and used the tricks taught by Bowen to step on Haddadi's heel with the tip of his shoe. But he underestimated Haddadi's offensive determination, who pulled his feet and stepped onto the basket and hooked his hand.
Haddadi started too fast and his shoes were stepped on by Chamberlain, so he pulled out and rushed to the basket barefoot.
Chamberlain was shaken half a step, and he leaned over to stabilize the center of gravity, and a terrifying stench came towards him.
Suddenly, Chamberlain was hit. The smell was very cruel. Chamberlain happened to take a deep breath to stabilize the center of gravity. This move was almost broken, and the defense was a little slow. Haddadi jumped out with his right foot bare and sent the ball into the ring.
This time it was Old Nelson's turn to shake his head, he stood up and roared at Chamberlain, ""
Chamberlain really wanted to throw this shoe to Old Nelson, but unfortunately he didn't dare to touch it, worried that he would get poisoned. Conley, Tabit and others had obviously known that Haddadi's feet were so smelly. As soon as his feet left the shoes, the Grizzlies hurriedly retreated, Gasol and Randolph laughed and gloated.
Haddadi put on his shoes and Chamberlain asked, “Man, do you never wash your feet?”
The Iranians were embarrassed and whispered: "I wash my feet many times a day, but my feet smell so bad."
Chamberlain was distraught because of the subsequent confrontation. Haddadi reached out to dance in front of him, and there was a stinking smell floating, just because Haddadi had previously carried his shoes in his hand.
Chamberlain, who was about to ask for the ball, shook his head, reached out and pointed his hand quickly to the ring, then turned around and walked around Haddadi and walked down the basket. Curry threw the ball into the ring, Chamberlain jumped up to catch the ball, raised his arm in the air and then retracted it. Haddadi and Tabit's big hand that wanted to block the ball, and Chamberlain dunked it, which was so gorgeous.
Haddadi and Tabit could not defend Chamberlain at all. The Warriors' tactics were extremely simple. Others pulled away and saw Chamberlain playing singles in the penalty area.
Chamberlain scored 9 points in a row to drag the first half to the final stage. When Hollins saw that the score was behind, he could only replace the two bears, Randolph and Gasol Jr., with the game.
"We're here to deal with you." Gasol said confidently. He was a young man after all.
Chamberlain smiled, and then Mayo broke through and passed the ball in. Gasol Jr. was about to turn around and dunk. Chamberlain immediately stuck it up and jumped up. Gasol Jr. retracted the ball and took a step back, and then took action. He just had a feint attack just now.
