Chapter 833 (1/2)

The days in pre-season training camp are always very fast. In the blink of an eye, it is already early October.

The streets outside link's house were covered with maple leaves. This heralds the end of the frenzied summer, and then everything is a new beginning.

Less than a month from the start of the regular season, the preseason is also in full swing.

This year's preseason, Joel and Snyder, as always, are dominated by experimental lineups.

Although there is no change in the Grizzlies this year, it is not true that the whole team is exactly the same as last year.

First, mark Gasol has made great progress on the offensive side. This season's he whether in the middle distance or in the low position, the attack efficiency has the qualitative leap. Moreover, the quality of defense is not compromised at all.

ESPN put Pau Gasol in the 24th place in the top 50 superstars of the new season, which can be said to be very predictable.

However, Randolph's attack is much weaker than before, but considering Randolph's growing age, his attack decline is expected and acceptable.

In this regard, Joel's approach is to increase the proportion of Gasol's offensive shots. At the same time, increase the time of Tobias Harris!

Tobias Harris's preseason performance was amazing. Last season, his unstable three-point goal made a qualitative leap this season. This allows him to stay on the court as a point of attack without the ball, and his own good at holding the ball and attacking the low position is not at all down.

For the missing shooter Grizzlies, this is undoubtedly good news.

Harris now the biggest shortcoming, is not the three-point ball, but his low post defense. Harris, who plays the third position, is still at a loss when he meets the powerful No. 4 position. But now this age, most teams are playing small lineups, which undoubtedly greatly disguises Harris's short board.

Of course, link is not surprised by Harris' progress. Because he knew Harris could be as good as he is now.

If Harris's progress is gratifying, then the Grizzlies' another substitute, Jimmy Butler, is expected.

In pre-season training camp, we found that Butler can now and link play back and forth. The forward, who entered the League a year later than link, finally began to cash in his talent and sweat.

In the preseason, when link didn't play much time, Butler became the scoring king of Grizzlies with an average of 21.2 points per game.

You know, last season Butler's average score, but only 10 points! And in the first two seasons, the average score per game is directly not on the double.

Watching Jimmy Butler play better and better, Joel also discussed with igordala, hoping that igordala can play as a substitute and give Butler some space at the beginning of the regular season. If the effect is not good, put igordala back to the first serve.

In this regard, igordala gladly accepted the arrangement of the head coach.

Originally, igordala is not the kind of personality that loves fighting and robbing. When people wanted him to be a star, he didn't have the interest of being the boss, let alone now.

As long as he can help the team win, playing on the bench is nothing for him.

In addition, Vince Carter's arrival also provided the grizzly's bench with a more secure attack. In the past, although Nick Young occasionally had a bad attack stability, his attack stability was poor. When it's right, it's dead. When it's iron, it's useless.

Although Miller is stable, he has no offensive means except three points. Moreover, miller can only catch and shoot, can't hold the ball to shoot.

The arrival of Carter is more like a combination of Nick Young and Miller. Although he rarely bursts, he can provide a steady output in every game. Although he is nearly 40 years old, the occasional single with the ball can give people some surprise. In addition, Carter's transmission and control ability is beyond Miller's reach.

”Half man and half god” has already returned to the world, but if you think he is willing to be mediocre, it is a big mistake. On the bench, he is almost the Grizzlies' sea god needle.

It seems that grizzly's personnel have not changed much. But in fact, the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness structure has changed dramatically.

Joel and Snyder frantically experiment with a variety of collocations, grizzlies in the pre-season game is also surging forward, and finally won the excellent record of 8-7!

The Grizzlies' dominance is still terrible. They are stepping forward to the third consecutive championship!

However, fans are not satisfied with the Grizzlies' excellent pre-season record.
