Chapter 1289 (1/2)
Kendrick Nann sat on the bench with no eyes.
The 24-year-old defender, who has been hailed as the strongest underdraft since link, has had a dismal number today.
Now that the game is in the fourth quarter, Nan is only 3-out of 13 and has only 10 points.
At first glance, it's nice to get 10 points from a drop off draft.
But in the premise of 13 shots, only 10 points, it is not the case.
As the saying goes, my grandmother can get 10 points if she has 13 mobile phone meetings.
It's probably the most off draft game so far in Nan's career.
Almost from the first quarter, he lost his rhythm completely.
And it's all because of grizzly bear 0.
Link's strong performance and sharp garbage words let him completely lose self-confidence, so that he became very hesitant on the court.
Hesitation, which is quite fatal on the basketball court.
In the NBA League where the opportunity is calculated in seconds, every hesitation is equal to a waste of opportunity.
Nann wasted a lot of chances on the court today. He hesitated when it was time to pass. When he wanted to pass, the passing route was blocked.
He doesn't shoot when it's time to shoot after an opportunity. After he hesitates, he shoots against the defense instead.
Nann today is not like a player who has been in College for four years. Generally speaking, even if the strength and talent of the older rookies are not strong, they are absolutely calm on the court.
But Nann is like a headless fly on the field today, totally making negative contributions.
That's why he's sitting on the bench now. Since Nann's performance today is too terrible, Spoelstra has long replaced him with experienced Dragic.
Nann didn't feel upset when he was replaced. Instead, he was very happy.
His first thought when he was replaced by Dragic was, ”I am saved at last.”.
Now, however, Nan is extremely distressed.
At this time, on the basketball court, link from the three-point line out of Butler, break into the basket after the blocking of Adebayor forced layup.
In the air, Adebayor raised his arms high. Link also because of the confrontation with Adebayor, the whole body back.
But Lin keleng is in the body tilts the situation, throws the basketball steadily to the backboard, then refracts into the net.
The referee whistles, the score is valid, another 2 + 1!
This record is extremely difficult to force the layup, let the Federal Express stadium noise doubled.
At the other end of the court, the Grizzlies on the bench of the players are also collective boiling. Howard even rushed into the field and waved a towel so wildly that he almost got a technical foul from the referee.
But Kendrick Nan was sitting quietly in his seat, out of place with the atmosphere.
The reason why Nan is so calm is not that he doesn't like the goal he just scored, but because he has been shocked by link several times today.
Link has performed countless such operations in front of Nann today. Every time link scores, Nan will sigh in his heart, ”how can this guy do it?”
Even now, after being hit completely for autism, Nan is not surprised.
Link will not be surprised to score another fantastic goal. Because he knows that link is such a fantastic player.
Seeing the fans in the stands so Hi, Nan wanted to stand up and yell at them: ”sit down, it's just routine operation.”
Next to nane, his coach Spoelstra also dropped his head.
Just after that goal, link has won the 37th point of the game. However, the difference between the two teams was raised to 26 points again.
Today, the heat in the first quarter by the Grizzlies will extend the difference to 20 points. As a result, the development of the future, as Spoelstra expected, the heat broke their legs and failed to catch up with the Grizzlies.
Until now, we haven't seen the difference close.
After the first quarter of the game, the heat's closest point difference was to catch up with only 12 points.
That time is link's next break, grizzly's super sixth man Ross leads the team and the heat fight.
As a result, as soon as link came back, he expanded the difference to 20 points.
Spoelstra chuckled helplessly. Several years ago, he had never played with Grizzlies with a ”full class” like the big three.
Now, it seems that there is no strength to win the Grizzlies.
Link added a penalty shot to get the 38th point of the game. Spoelstra called a pause and stood up.
Sweating as Jimmy Butler walked to the sidelines, Spoelstra opened his arms to embrace his star.
When hugging, the Filipino commander put his mouth to Butler's ear and said softly, ”rest, Jimmy, you're exhausted today.”Butler was stunned and lowered his arms.
He knew that Spoelstra was trying to get the game into garbage time.
This season, the heat have lost seven games, but none of them is a big loss.
