Chapter 379 (2/2)
In mid October, NBA preseason begins. Now, the preseason is not only a match for the team to run in the lineup, but has become a sharp weapon for the League to attract money. A variety of overseas games emerge in endlessly, and the competition between NBA teams and other basketball league teams is more frequent.
But the Grizzlies obviously don't have such good treatment. Although link is popular in China, the brand value of Grizzlies is not high enough. So this year, the Grizzlies still have to play preseason in the United States.
The Grizzlies are not weak in the preseason. They will face the bulls, the jazz, the Pacers and the heat.Among them, the bulls and the heat can be the eastern overlord level team. Although there is no rose on the bull side, the foundation is still there and the strength is still strong.
Not to mention the heat, as the defending champion of last season, fans believe that whoever meets the heat will die.
As a result, the Grizzlies, who have never performed very well in the preseason, actually won four games in a row this time!
The final game 10 points victory over the heat, is to let the entire city of Memphis crazy!
”I can see that the Grizzlies have made great progress, from the individual to the whole, they have improved! Pau Gasol's defense is getting older and hotter, and he's the Grizzlies' deserved patron saint of the basket. Randolph recovered very well, four pre-season games down, three scores on 20! Link and igordala are very tacit understanding, their change defense lets grizzly's flank is indestructible, their beautiful pass lets each other be defenseless! Besides, Conley has become more sophisticated this year. He has made progress every year, and this year is no exception! ”
After four games, hobby Brown spoke highly of the Grizzlies. It can be seen that Stevens has perfect control over the team. Under his leadership, everyone of Grizzlies can play their own value.
And link is not the same as the media said, in the face of LeBron James, link more and more comfortable. Although this game, James only played 15 minutes. But this still can't cover up link's light, James several times was forced by link to force the attack, this is not easy.
After winning four games, another reporter went to Hollinger and asked him if he had made a wrong prediction. This time, Hollinger said, ”everyone knows that a pre-season victory is nothing. Fight the bulls. The Bulls don't have Ross. Playing jazz and Pacers, they're just honing the lineup. Against the heat, the three giants each did not play more than 15 minutes. Can Grizzlies really prove their strength when they win them? ”
Meanwhile, a few days before the start of the regular season, there was another explosive trade in the league.
On October 28, the Houston Rockets sent out Kevin Martin, Jeremy lamb and future draft rights to trade last season's best sixth man James Harden, Cole Aldrich, dequin cook and laza Hayward from the thunder.
It is said that harden played poorly in the finals last season, so thunder took the opportunity to reduce the price on the contract renewal. After all, thunder is not a big team and can't pay too much. However, Hadden thought he could get a bigger contract, so he refused to renew his contract with thunder in advance.
In the end, the two sides broke up in discord.
In Haden was destined to stay for another year, thunder team general manager Presti in order to stop loss in time, had to take the initiative to trade Haden out. At the end of the day, Hadden was used to buy thunder a few players.
In this way, the Rockets finally found their dream team building core. Since Yao Ming retired, the long reconstruction of the Rockets has finally achieved initial results.
The explosion happened a few days before the start of the new season, which is very rare in the whole league history. After all, the game is about to start. Normally, no one will move the lineup.
Therefore, the thunder and the rocket this transaction, in the fans and the media have caused extremely warm discussion.
Looking at the news that Hadden joined the Rockets, link, sitting in the dressing room, shook his head helplessly. ”Now, Hollinger may say that we can't even pass the first round. After all, the Rockets have risen. ”
On the surface, link is laughing, but in his heart, he is cruel.
The pre-season record doesn't say anything?
OK, the Grizzlies play their first game away from Los Angeles Clippers on October 29. At that time, link believes that he and his teammates will tear off the last piece of Hollinger's veil.
