Chapter 155 (1/2)
Link and Darrell Arthur played a pick and roll, which is a classic match between the two young forwards. Link likes to pick and roll with Arthur because Arthur, a Kansas power forward, has a good three-point shot. In 2011, the space-4 position has not yet become popular. So the number four players occasionally outside the three-point line so a few times, sometimes really can play a magic effect.
In fact, Hollins didn't like Arthur's three-point shot at the beginning. He thought the inside players should be close to the basket. But see link in the training ground and Arthur's pick and roll more mature, Hollins really developed Arthur's three-point ball.
Link broke through with the ball, and jazz power forward Millsap and Russian Andre Kirilenko struggled to catch up. Seeing that he attracted two people's defense, link boldly threw the ball to the back of his head.
”It's not a breakthrough, it's a pass! Darrell Arthur, a three-point shot with no interference! Bang！ A three-point hit, and the Grizzlies open the score completely
Hubie brin stood up and cheered. From the moment Arthur and link cover the moment, the old man is expecting them to play three-point cooperation. Sure enough, the tactics were successful in the end.
After Arthur scored, he clapped hands with link. The Kansas graduate power forward doesn't remember. Link, the first assists of the season, shot outside the three-point line.
Meanwhile, the jazz called a pause. But it wasn't Jerry Sloan who called the time-out for the jazz, but black coach Tyrone Corbin.
Yes, sir Utah has ended the farce of Deron and Sloan. As a result, Sloan burst into tears at the press conference, regretting his retirement. Deron was traded to the New Jersey Nets to start his new career. The iron Lord was dissolved, and Salt Lake City was shrouded in darkness.
Since the Jazz's collapse, their goal this year has changed from challenging the defending champion Los Angeles to playing down. Now, the Jazz's record is only 36-34, which is one game worse than the Houston Rockets. The record is a cliff jump.
As a result, just Arthur's three-point goal has put the Grizzlies 20 points ahead of the jazz.
Reggie Miller is right. The Memphis Grizzlies are no longer on the same level as the rest of the playoffs. There used to be jazz from Sloan and Deron, and they played Grizzlies back and forth. But now, they're going to be knocked down by Grizzlies.
”Well done, guys, you've killed the suspense once again. It's time to kill the suspense against such a team. We shouldn't have given them any chance.” Hollins is very satisfied with the state of the team. After defeating the Indiana Pacers the day before yesterday, the Grizzlies should not be a problem to beat the jazz today if there is no accident.
After all, with eight minutes to go, the Jazz are 20 points behind.
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 have little fighting power. Devon Harris, who came from the net trade, is still one gear lower than Deron, while the offensive efficiency of Jazz's twin towers Millsap and Al Jefferson is also good and bad.
The Jazz didn't have the conditions to turn the tables, so Hollins could have saved the game ahead of time.
Tyrone cobin was still spitting on the Jazz bench. He took over the flag of Jerry Sloan, and he didn't want to destroy everything that old Sloan had been building for decades.
But as everyone knows, jazz has no chance today. Just three more sections of the game has let us see clearly how big the gap between the two teams, if the strength is close, the difference will not be pulled to 20 points.
”The Grizzlies have been in great shape recently. After four consecutive defeats, they immediately stopped the decline with a four game winning streak. And the Grizzlies have won more than 20 points in three of the last four wins. Hubie, what do you think of the Grizzlies' recent performance? Are they going to keep up the momentum until the playoffs? ” During the pause, Chris Webber talked to brown about the Grizzlies' recent record.
”The ranking of the Grizzlies makes many people misunderstand their strength, because in the first half of the season, the Grizzlies are still in a mess, Mayo and guy are still fighting for the right to take the ball, and the Grizzlies have not fully established the core and system. But in the second half of the season, since link joined the team, Mayo dropped out and guy got injured, the Grizzlies have actually changed a lot. The reason why they are now eighth in the west is that they dug too big a hole in the early days. In fact, I dare say that the Grizzlies are already in the upper reaches of the West! So it's easy for them to play teams outside the playoffs Hubie brin's analysis is very reasonable. He sees the Grizzlies better than anyone else.
The ranking of Grizzlies does not match their actual strength. Ever since Hollins built the lineup exactly as he wanted, the Grizzlies are no longer the team on the edge of the playoffs.
