Chapter 622 Mississippi Rose(1/2)
The biggest change for the Grizzlies compared to last year comes from the shooting guard.
They sent Mike Miller away through a tripartite deal, ushering in Ronnie Brewer, who is in the rising period.
Brewer was the lottery show in 2006. He was 2.01 meters tall, weighed 103 kg, and had outstanding arm-show.
These words are placed here, your first impression is that this is a perfect body of a swaying person.
This is true. Brewer not only has excellent physical fitness, but also has excellent ball control ability, including his speed and passing vision.
In the third year of the Jazz, his average number was 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.7 steals, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%.
As normal development continues, he has the opportunity to become an All-Star player.
However, the cruelty of the NBA is that, often one of your shortcomings will destroy your upward space.
Brewer's "default" was a car accident when he was a child. His right elbow could not be fully extended, which made him unable to train a standard shooting posture.
The result is that his shooting posture is strange, which makes him unable to maintain a stable level, especially his outside shooting ability has been very poor.
This is also why the Jazz finally chose to send him away.
However, except for shooting, his other talents are outstanding, including excellent defensive ability.
This is also the main reason why the Grizzlies exchanged him for.
They need a top-notch outside defender for Ross.
Brewer did this, and his athletic talent and speed are also suitable for the Grizzlies' current defensive counterattack style.
The big role of a small person and his arrival have greatly improved the quality of the Grizzlies' offense and defense, which is also the key to the team's ability to enter the playoffs.
And the interesting thing is that the Grizzlies' style of playing is mainly defensive counterattack, which is very similar to the Warriors' style.
So it can be foreseeable that this will be a very ornamental offensive battle.
The playoffs are about to start, and the league announced its first batch of season awards.
The Warriors have a great harvest.
Carl Landry narrowly defeated Crawford, who won 30% of the votes, and was successfully elected the sixth man of the season.
Landry's score was about 3 points less than Crawford, but the Warriors' record was one level better than the Hawks.
In the selection of the best sixth man, the team's record is still very useful.
Houston's Aaron Brooks won the Fastest Progress Award.
After so many years of rotten, they seem to have finally found a good newcomer.
The best coach was won by Nelson.
This is also the second time he was elected in his career.
The last time he was elected, the Mavericks were called Mavericks, and Sun Hao was also in the team at that time.
And it's interesting that after winning this best head coach, Old Nelson has tied Phil Jackson's best head coaching number.
I won two of three awards, and this wave is very profitable.
When this wave of awards ended, the playoffs officially started.
Like in previous years, the Eastern Army will fight first.
Bulls beat Bobcats, Wizards beat Pacers.
The Bobcats first rose and then fell down, and performed diarrhea in the second half, and finally fell to the eighth round to beat the Bulls.
The strength and status are not there, and the result can be imagined. They eventually returned with a 81-101 defeat.
Paul showed his hot state, scoring a triple-double with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists, and Yi Jianlian also scored 21 points.
As Peja, Hamilton and others declined due to age problems, Yi Jianlian has become the second-in-command of the Bulls.
Compared with the previous games, the Wizards and Pacers' matches are obviously much more intense.
The biggest change of the Pacers this season is that after a series of low-level competitions for power, the internal and external cores of Granger and Randolph have been basically clarified, which has also greatly improved their overall strength.
On the other hand, on the Wizards, Josh Howard proved that he was really not good at all in the second half of the game, but Matthews played well.
However, in terms of overall strength, the Wizards are definitely weaker than before.
One goes up and the other goes down, and the game is difficult to distinguish.
In the end, Yao Ming taught him how to be a human being.
Randolph and Noah were tied up with him and they couldn't defend him.
In the end, Yao Ming played 35 points and 15 rebounds, the Wizards defeated the Pacers 91-83 and won their first playoff victory.
The east side has not finished fighting, and the west side has also begun.
The first game to start was the Mavericks and the Suns.
In fact, you can tell from this victory in the Western Conference this year that even the Grizzlies, who are ranked eight, are only 8 games away from the Warriors, and there are only one game.
This is the fourth and fifth place, not to mention one win.
The game was also very intense.
However, the scene is different from what many people expected.
The Mavericks have been slow to play because of O'Neal's arrival.
In addition to the counterattack after successful defense, the Suns' rhythm is actually very different from the crazy bombardment of D'Antoni during the D'Antoni period.
Therefore, the fight between the two sides actually felt like bayonets, and there were various confrontations on the field.
But in terms of ornamentality, it is surprisingly good.
In the end, the Suns laughed to the end and won the first victory of the series 108-98.
Those who have watched the game carefully will find that the unexpected record of the Suns this season is due to their sense of space on the field.
Fry, Richardson and Hill all have excellent three-pointers, and the space on the court is infinitely large.
In addition, O'Neal couldn't get out, which made the Mavericks' defensive end particularly troublesome.
Moreover, from the Grizzlies' promotion to the playoffs to the Suns' sense of space, a new tactical system is actually full of description.
Small ball tactics.
Including this season, the Warriors' Old Nelson will also let Ibaka play the No. 5 position at certain specific times, which is also a reflection of this tactic.
A small ball does not mean a bombardment. It emphasizes more on defensive coordination and position space, as well as high-speed defensive counterattacks.
The emergence of these things shows that many fans have had a misunderstanding, not that the change in the penalty scale has led to the emergence of small balls.
Small balls are a development of basketball. Just like the blurring of the court position, it is an improvement of basketball.
As for Xiao Hua's behavior in history, he made an irrational decision after seeing the ornamentality brought by the ball, too much is as bad as too much.
But Xiao Hua has already gone to harm the NFL. The current sprouts of small balls are based on confrontation and are still very ornamental.
After the match between the Suns and the Mavericks ended, the Warriors vs. the Grizzlies were the final match of the day.
As mentioned earlier, the Western Conference is fiercely competitive this season, and the strength between the teams who advance to the playoffs is close.
The Warriors face the Grizzlies, which is quite suspense.
Of course, the Warriors have a home advantage, and have a better place and a greater chance of winning.
The attendance rate of Oracle Arena is full.
The Warriors' record this season is highly regarded by the West, which is something that has not been seen in the past forty years.
In addition, Sun Hao and Durant are in charge of the team, they truly felt the possibility of a team revival for the first time.
The enthusiasm of Bay Area fans is the burning of decades of fire in their hearts!
The signs are everywhere in the stadium, and many people have raised Scarlett's posters.
"Unstoppable" has become the most familiar battle song for Bay Area fans, and Scarlett became popular in the Bay Area.
During the warm-up before the game, the live footage was given to the Grizzlies' star Derek Ross.
It's a bit like the Pacers next door. The Grizzlies have also made it clear this season that the team's core is Rose, and it is his whirlwind-like style of playing to lead the Grizzlies forward.
Although he is only in the second grade, Ross has averaged 6.7 assists per game and has a shooting percentage of up to 48%.
He also gained his nickname in Memphis: Mississippi Rose.
On the one hand, this nickname comes from his name pronounced "rose", which is the same sound as rose.
The Mississippi is ahead because Memphis is the river port city of the Mississippi River.
When combined, they are the roses by the Mississippi River, which sounds very poetic.
Another reason for this nickname is his playing style. The rose smell is strong and blooms brilliantly, which is very similar to the way Rose plays.
However, when the live shot was given to Rose, he looked a little cute.
In sharp contrast to the style of playing, Ross is actually a very implicit and restrained person.
The most classic shot in history is his performance at the 2012 All-Star appearance ceremony.
