One Hundred and Forty-Nine: The Black Bear Is Also Melancholy
Link and Darrell Arthur played a pick-and-roll, a classic matchup between the two young forwards. Link likes to play pick-and-rolls with Arthur, because Arthur, a Kansas-produced power forward, makes a great 3-pointer. In 2011, the space 4 wasn't quite the norm. So the occasional 4-pointer from outside the arc a few times can really work wonders.
In fact, Hollins didn't like letting Arthur shoot 3-pointers in the first place, and he believed that post players should be near the rim. But seeing Link become more mature with Arthur's pick-and-roll on the practice court, Hollins really developed Arthur's three-point shot.
Link made a breakthrough with the ball, and the Jazz forward Millsap and the Russian Andrei Kirilenko fought hard to catch up. Seeing that he attracted the defense of two people, Link boldly tossed the ball behind his head.
"It's not a breakthrough, it's a pass! Darrell Arthur, a three-pointer shot without interference! Bang! The three-pointer hit, the Grizzlies completely opened the score!"
Hubibulin stood up and cheered. From the moment Arthur and Link took cover, the old man was expecting them to play a three-point match. Sure enough, the strategy finally worked out.
After Arthur scored, he gave Link a close high-five to celebrate. The Kansas-graduated power forward can't remember, this is the first time Link has assisted and hit a shot from beyond the arc this season.
Meanwhile, the Jazz called a timeout. But at this time, it was not Jerry Sloan who called the timeout for the Jazz, but the black coach Tyrone Corbin.
Yes, the Utah Jazz at this time has ended the farce of the feud between Deron and Sloan. As a result, Sloan shed tears at the press conference and regretted his retirement. Deron was traded to the New Jersey Nets to start his new career. The Jazz was disbanded, and Salt Lake City was finally shrouded in darkness.
Since the Jazz collapsed, their goal this year has also changed from challenging the defending champion Lakers at the beginning to being smashed. Now, the Jazz's record is only 6 wins and 4 losses, one game worse than the Houston Rockets, and the record is simply a cliff-like decline.
Therefore, Arthur's 3-pointer just now has given the Grizzlies a 20-point lead over the Jazz.
Reggie Miller is right, the Memphis Grizzlies and these teams outside the playoffs are no longer on the same level. There used to be Jazz with Sloan and Deron, and they could play back and forth with the Grizzlies. But now, they'll have their share of being brought down by the Grizzlies.
"Well done guys, you killed the suspense once again. We should kill the suspense completely against such a team. We should not give them any chance!" Hollins was very satisfied with the state of the team. The day before yesterday After defeating the Indiana Pacers, the Grizzlies should not be a problem to beat the Jazz if there is no accident today.
After all, with only 8 minutes left in the game, the Jazz are already 20 points behind.
To be honest, it is not impossible to chase 20 points in 8 minutes, but it depends on the level of both sides.
The Grizzlies are one of the best defensive teams in the league, and after the Jazz left Deron, they basically lost their fighting power. Devin Harris, traded from the Nets, is still a notch lower than Deron, and the Jazz twin towers Millsap and Al Jefferson have good and bad offensive efficiency.
The Jazz do not have the conditions for a comeback at all, so Hollins has been able to pocket the victory of this game in advance.
On the Jazz bench, Tyrone Corbin was still spitting out tactics. He took over the banner of Jerry Sloan, and he didn't want to ruin everything old Sloan had built over the decades.
But everyone knows that the Jazz have no chance today. The game that lasted more than three quarters just now made everyone see how huge the gap between the two teams is. If the strength is close, the difference will not be pulled to 20 points.
"The Grizzlies have been in very good shape recently. After four consecutive losses, they immediately stopped the decline with a four-game winning streak. And out of the last four wins, the Grizzlies have won three games against the opponent by more than 20 points. Hu Bee, what do you think of the Grizzlies' recent performance? Will they maintain this momentum until the playoffs?" During the timeout,
Chris Webber chats with Brown Sr. about the Grizzlies' recent record.
"The ranking of the Grizzlies makes a lot of people misunderstand their strength, because in the first half of the season, the Grizzlies were still in chaos, Mayo and Guy were still grabbing shots, and the Grizzlies had not fully established their core and system. But the season In the second half, since Link joined the team, Mayo fell out and Gay was injured, the Grizzlies have actually become very different from before. The reason why they are now eighth in the West is because of their early game. The hole is too big. In fact, I dare to say that the strength of the Grizzlies is already in the upper reaches of the West! Therefore, it is naturally very easy for them to play teams outside the playoffs.” Hubiblin’s analysis is very helpful. Truthfully, he saw the Grizzlies better than anyone else.
The Grizzlies' ranking is actually inconsistent with their actual strength. The Grizzlies haven't been the team on the fringes of the playoffs since Hollins built the roster exactly as he wanted to.
In Hubby Brown's view, the Grizzlies are fully capable of wrestling with the top teams in the West. The eighth place in the west is just a disguise of the bear.
After Reggie Miller, another tnt caster saw what the Grizzlies really were. Hubby Brown is even fantasizing if the Grizzlies are still eighth in the West by the end of the regular season. So, is it possible that there will be another black eight miracle in the league?
Just when the old man was thinking about it, the pause time ended, and the battle between the two sides continued.
But as most expected, Tyrone Corbin's suspension didn't do much. For the next eight minutes, whether the Jazz should be abused or abused. With morale at rock bottom, the three stars of Millsap, Al Jefferson and Devin Harris have also failed to lead by example.
In the end, the collapsed Jazz still could not escape the fate of being slaughtered. 107 to 85, the Grizzlies beat their old rival by 22 points at home. With four games and a 20-point margin over opponents, the Grizzlies have become more and more dominant.
Link only scored 14 points today, but it's not because of his poor form, but because the Grizzlies' shot division is very even today. Randolph, who scored the highest in this game, had only 19 points, and a total of 7 players in the team scored in double figures.
"Four-game winning streak, and the Grizzlies have recovered quickly. Now, the Rockets have only a theoretical possibility of catching up with the Grizzlies! In a month, maybe we can see the Memphis Grizzlies in the playoffs. !"
At the end of the game, Link was not even very surprised. It seems that 20 points of abuse per game has become the norm.
After being interviewed by reporters, Link walked back to the locker room with ease. But as soon as he opened the locker room door, Link found that guy Randolph was in a daze with the schedule.
Link was startled, this guy Randolph didn't research where he was going to play these days, but was actually researching the schedule?
"Zach, do you have a fever?" Link touched Randolph's forehead, and it wasn't hot!
"Fever? What the hell! I'm the highest scoring player on the team today!" Seeing Link walk in front of him, Randolph immediately put away his melancholy expression.
"Then you're still depressed, hurry up and go to the press conference. The reporters will definitely praise you today." Link patted Randolph on the shoulder, still wondering how old this guy is recently. is moody.
"Hey, I'm not in the mood to listen to the nonsense of those reporters. At this time the day after tomorrow, we should be playing games in Boston." Randolph said, his huge body leaning on the cabinet tiredly. On the schedule in his hand, the game against the Celtics on March 2 was marked with a red circle.
Indeed, the teams the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies have played against recently are quite different. They're third in the East, and they're sitting on three big stars. Even though it has been three seasons since their last title, they are still considered a favorite this year and are one of the championship candidates.
If nothing else, the game the day after tomorrow should be the hardest the Grizzlies have played in recent times.
But the Grizzlies have also played a lot of difficult games this season, and Link thinks Randolph shouldn't be so depressed because of this.
"Hey, we've even won the top Spurs in the West, not to mention the No. 3 in the East? As long as we work together, anything can happen in the game the day after tomorrow, right?" Link is still very optimistic, he is very clear, The Celtics in this period have actually started to go downhill, and the dominance of kg, pp and Ray Allen is declining.
They are still strong, but not invincible.
At this time, Tony Allen stood up, his expression was as serious as Randolph's, "Boston is not as simple as you think, Link. In that place, our troubles will be more than basketball."
