Chapter 55 (1/2)
Linus creza, a member of the Lithuanian national team, is 2.03 meters tall and can play two forwards.
Craiza first entered the NBA in 2005. He was the 27th rookie in the first round. In 2009, craiza left the NBA and returned to Europe for a year. It wasn't until 2010 that the Raptors, who sent bosh away, signed him.
Although this guy is not famous in NBA, he is very famous in international basketball. In the NBA, he has also won a single game 40 points such an honorary record.
Although cresza's average score per game is only 11.2 this season, the fans are still impressed by his occasional high light performance in a few games.
The projection forward can score as much as an all-star once he feels it.
There's no doubt that craiza's hand is very hot today. In guy's negative defense because of physical impact, craizaleng is leading the Raptors to play a wave of 16-8. In this regard, raptors coach Jane Triano is undoubtedly very satisfied. A good start, sometimes will directly affect the trend of the game.
”Keep it up, creaza! I will give you a few pick and roll tactics, strive to run out of the gap, have a chance to shoot! Grizzlies are away from home today, back to back, they are very tired! Let's go to hell with those guys from the West! ”
Triano looks at creaza as if he has grasped a straw. He knows very well that giving the ball to the best is a tactic. And he believes that if craiza can continue to torture Rudy Gay on the offensive end, guy's offensive efficiency will certainly be affected.
In this way, the electronic beep sounds, the pause ends, and the two sides continue to fight.
At this time, the game has just played a few minutes, it is not in the rotation time. But when the Grizzlies came back on the court, it was discovered that the Grizzlies had changed!
”Link, the rookie forward who scored 18 points efficiently in the last game, put on his clothes. This time, he replaced... He replaced O.J. Mayo! Coach Lionel Hollins let him play number two! What's the situation? Did Mayo have any injury problems? ”
The commentators were all confused. They couldn't figure out why Hollins let link play number two. Craiza didn't understand at all. He couldn't hold his head up because he was playing this point. Why did he replace O.J. Mayo?
But it doesn't matter, as long as he can win today, the other side wants to change who to play, that's his business.
After pausing back, the Grizzlies attack for the first time. Link looked at his opposition on the offensive end and was the most popular player in Canada, DeMar Derozan.
I didn't expect that I would fight with the future stars so soon. As a matter of fact, this season's figures are beginning to take shape. Second grade, he has been able to score 17.2 points per game, which is a very important point for the Raptors.
But during this period, Derozan's score mainly depends on dunk and layup, and his middle distance shooting is not steady enough. As for the three-point shot, you may not believe it. This season, Derozan's average three-point shooting rate is only 9.6%...
therefore, with the black and white bears guarding the inside line, drozan, who mainly focuses on breakthrough points, should not make any waves today. As long as you strangle craiza, you basically strangle the Raptors.
Thinking, Conley has passed the basketball to link. As a position two, link needs to be a transit point.
In fact, O.J. Mayo also needs to play the role of a transit point under Hollins' system, but the guy often attacks himself when his head is hot, which does not let Hollins worry.
But in link, it never happened.
Link sidetracked the ball behind him and waited for Conley to come and hand him over. In the moment of handing over the hand, link is in the first gear to block Spanish point guard Calderon.
Conley broke through with the ball, and link immediately followed up. Sure enough, Conley, with a wide field of vision, drew the ball back to the outside after attracting the defense, and link, who was in the middle distance position, received the basketball steadily.
”Beautiful local two person cooperation, there are two ball business high guards play together, it is really a kind of enjoyment.”
If Mayo hears the commentator, he will certainly be furious, meaning his own ball business is not high?
Link has to shoot when he catches the ball, which is his favorite way of attack. But in the air, link's wrist turns slightly and turns into a pass!
Just as the Raptors were ready to rebound, the basketball unexpectedly fell into the hands of Rudy Gay. Guy took the ball and threw it. He finally got a comfortable mid-range open shot.
Guy's low efficiency in some games is because he likes wave throwing when he's in a hurry. To put it bluntly, his low efficiency is a matter of shooting choice, not ability.
And this kind of mid distance open shot, for guy, is not difficult at all. Basketball hollow into the net, steady hit. As soon as the break came back, the Grizzlies broke the scoring drought.
