Chapter 172 (1/2)

”Hello, audience, welcome to ESPN! I'm Mike Brin, and next to me is Kevin Harlan. Today we're going to give you an explanation of the game! ”

ESPN sent their ace commentary team to Memphis today, which shows the popularity of the game. Originally, the final day of the regular season to fight for the fifth in the Western Conference this matter has been lively enough, Kenyon Martin this guy has not stopped to add fuel to it, is undoubtedly to make the game more hot.

”It's a fight between the dark horse and the dark horse. Denver digs gold this season has been in the bottom six of the west before trading Anthony, and even dropped out of the top eight at one time. But since Anthony was traded, they immediately got back on track and finished fifth after all star. Of course, the Memphis Grizzlies are even more exaggerated. Ten days ago, they were eighth in the West. But now, it's sixth in the West. Originally for the Grizzlies, to be able to enter the playoffs in eighth place is already a victory. But for now, the Grizzlies want to do more. ”

Before the game, Mike brin introduced the two teams. Both teams had a bad start, but had a good build-up.

”Yes, yes, the sudden rise of the Grizzlies and the Nuggets completely disrupted the western landscape. The fifth place in the west is very important for the Nuggets and Grizzlies. After all, no one wants to meet the defending champion in the first round, and no one wants to meet the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. It seems that the inexperienced Oklahoma thunder is more favored by the Nuggets and Grizzlies. Of course, thunder is not a weak team, but they can give Grizzlies and nuggets a glimmer of hope. Therefore, this game is likely to directly determine how far the Grizzlies and nuggets can go this season

After Mike brin and Kevin Haran introduced the game, both players stepped into the field and the game was ready to begin.

Kenyon Martin is very excited today and seems ready to try. And link is very calm, as if he does not care about Martin's pre match remarks.

”I don't know what kind of spark Kenyon Martin will have with link today. To be honest, Mike, Kenyon's remarks before the game are really inappropriate. His words are not very beautiful.” On the commentary, Kevin Haran also make complaints about Martin. He really can't understand what a veteran and a rookie are. What's more, there has been no personal feud between Martin and link.

Martin is not used to other people. You can know it yourself, but his EQ is so low that he says it directly.

”It's true. A lot of people have asked Kenyon Martin to apologize to link. Martin's remarks even irritated many Asian communities in the Nuggets. So far, however, Martin has not responded. We don't know if he wants to respond to link on the basketball court. But today Martin and link are not in opposition to each other. I don't think there will be any conflict between them

When Mike brin finished, the referee threw the ball high. Pau Gasol took the lead to win basketball, which decided the fate of the Grizzlies in the 82nd game, officially began!

Link is very active, and his running has put pressure on Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler since the first round. And link has to admit that Wilson Chandler's defense is better than Anthony's.

In terms of motivation, toughness and defensive skills, Chandler is above Anthony.

Conley control the ball to the three-point line, Randolph immediately raised his hand for the ball, the big black bear intends to contract the Grizzlies' first attack!

Randolph took the ball and began to sit back with his stocky body. He wanted to force Martin in the low position!

Martin this guy peak period can rely on the movement ability to help defend to break in the outside line, but the low position single defense has not been his strong point. This is a bit like the Nuggets' last best defensive player, Marcus Camby.

But now, Martin has lost his ability to run and jump, so it's hard to resist Randolph's attack. Randolph forced a backward turn, forced Martin to the basket, and then easily small hook score.

After the goal, Randolph hit Martin in the chest as a warning. Martin bit his teeth, and link wasn't the only one he was annoyed with. Just like Francis to Yao Ming, his little brother was bullied, Randolph naturally also want to help link.

”Damn it, do you know what tough is!? You forget what I told you!? If you can't, get out of here, you softie

As soon as Randolph scored, George Carr yelled rudely at Martin. Old Carl can no matter how many people there are on the scene, how many reporters, this guy scolds people is merciless.

”Damn it, little man, yell at me, old stink!” Martin murmured to himself that he didn't like old Karl, but he couldn't help it. Not everyone, like Anthony, could blackmail the team with a deal.

Anthony could fly away, but Martin had to swallow it.

The Grizzlies took the lead in scoring, and it was a tough score, which gave Grizzlies fans a shot in the arm.

As a result, when the Nuggets players receive the ball, the grizzly fans shout ”defense”!This situation, really quite a playoff flavor.
