Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 105

The time came to May 2008, 1.

The record of the Grizzlies came to 12 wins and 31 losses. According to the record of the Western Conference playoffs in previous years, the Grizzlies basically bid farewell to the ranks of the playoffs.

After slaughtering the Sonics, the Grizzlies won one and lost one.

After back-to-back losses to the Bobcats, the conflict between players grew.

Guy didn't like Li Tian, ​​and Li Tian also didn't like Guy.

Mark has been thinking about what the team should do next.

After defeating the Bulls, the Grizzlies continue to host the Orlando Magic.

The Magic selected super center O'Neal in the 90s, but in the Eastern Conference during the Jordan period, all teams were eclipsed and lost in the long river of history.

Because of contract renewal issues, O'Neal left Los Angeles and achieved the Zijin Triple Crown Dynasty.

Later, another team core, McGrady, because the team has never made a breakthrough in the playoffs, after the team selected high school No. 2004 pick Howard in [-], McGrady was traded to the Mosaic team.

After McGrady was traded away by the Magic, the Magic will focus on training Howard in the next few years.

After several years of training, Howard is not burdened, and gradually grows into the new core of the team.

When I came to the locker room, I felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit weird, an indescribable feeling, but it could be seen that the players had no communication.

Halfway through the season, many teams have started a new round of operations.

The fishy team began to think about the next season, and wanted to start preparing for a bad performance, and strive to get a good draft pick next season.

It is also possible to trade some players of the team who are not in line with the team's future construction, but can bring some help to the team to a strong team, and then get some future draft picks.

Strong teams can trade for the team championship puzzle.

I also heard some trade messages, but it has no effect on him. No matter which team he goes to, what is the point, as long as he can play.

Game start.

Magic starters: Turkoglu, Lewis, Howard, Evans, Arroyo;

Grizzlies starting: Gay, Gasol, Conley, Miller, Milicic.

Gay came back and returned to the bench again.

I have long been dissatisfied with the changes in playing time and position.

Also dissatisfied with the team's arrangement is Lowry. Since Conley became the starter, his playing time has become less and less, averaging less than 15 minutes per game. It is Lowry who needs more playing time to improve himself. Xia also expressed dissatisfaction with the team's arrangement many times.

"Lowry, what's going on?" Lowry didn't care about the game on the court, thinking about something.

"It's nothing, Lee, we'll talk about it after the game." Lowry glanced at Mark, and stopped talking.

Gasol, who played the first quarter, only got 2 shots, which made Li Tian feel a little incredible.

Howard sitting under the basket is indeed a big threat. Howard and Gasol are different types of players.

Howard relies on his unique physical fitness, his violent dunks, super bounce, is a rebounding monster, the disadvantage is that he has no skills; Tips for scoring opportunities.

In order to fight against Howard, Mark arranged Gasol and Li Tian to appear at the same time in the second quarter.

Gasol fought Howard at the basket, and his physical strength was exhausted, which limited Gasol's performance.

It took him too much energy, and Gasol, whose physical fitness has declined, kept making mistakes, and his shooting efficiency dropped sharply. He even made 5 of 1 shots, and only scored 4 points by free throws.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 58-48, with the Grizzlies trailing by 10 points.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go back to the locker room, Li Tian came to Gasol's side.

"Paul, what's the matter? I feel that your performance is a little abnormal." I still couldn't help asking.

"What else could it be? If you keep fighting with that pervert Howard, you'll lose your touch." Gasol said angrily.

Howard has a height of 2.11 and a weight of 120 kg; on the other hand, Gasol is 2.13 tall and weighs 113 kg.The explosive power of blacks is stronger than that of whites, Gasol's strength is not at the same level as Howard's.

"Haha, no, Paul, you are a power forward, how do you match up with Howard?" He didn't laugh, it was intentional, and he didn't know why after playing on the court for so long.

"Li, damn it, don't you know why." Then he walked back to the locker room quickly.

Mark saw Gasol's performance and couldn't bear it.

"Paul, you have to be tough, don't be so soft, and be aggressive in his defense. You must also control your mistakes. You have made two consecutive mistakes."

Listening to Mark's reprimand, Gasol's complexion changed.

He stared at Mark, without saying a word, feeling that he would explode in the next second.

But Gasol held back.

Without the containment force of the inside line, and the Grizzlies' outside breakthrough ability is not strong, Li Tian only got a few shots from the outside line. The hand feeling was not good, 5 of 1, and only scored 3 points.

As soon as the Magic started the second half, they opened the score by more than 20 points.

The difference is getting bigger and bigger.

In the fourth quarter, the whole team felt nothing, and the Grizzlies were beaten 26-13.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies lost 35 points and lost the game 120-85.

After losing the game, I went back to the locker room and saw that all the players didn't even communicate after the game. The most important thing was that the way they looked at each other changed.

The first thought is that the team may have to trade.

Li Tian, ​​who seldom reads the news, doesn't pay much attention to this issue. Every day is not only training, but also training, spending all day in the training hall.

The feeling every day is whether my abilities have improved, but recently I feel that my skills have improved.

"Lowry, what happened before the game? I saw that everyone was silent, especially Paul, who was not in the right state today." Li Tian felt that Lowry must know something inside.

"Don't you know? Didn't you pay attention to the recent trade rumors?" Lowry wondered if this was a monster. In the league, he didn't even pay attention to the trade.

"Transaction, what transaction?" He didn't know about the transaction, and he didn't even read the news much.

"Mark is here, we'll talk about it later, when we get back." Lowry stopped talking.

Mark walked into the locker room.

"Some players didn't perform very well today, and some players didn't even listen to my tactical arrangements. When the game started, I arranged for you to attack from the outside," Mark said for 5 minutes.

Lowry snorted softly, "Hmph!"

"Conley, Gay, you need to increase your shot rights. You need to use your breakthroughs to score for the team and help teammates create offensive opportunities." Mark continued to say, "Paul, you have to grab Rebound, keep the rebound"

Listening to what Mark said, it was like using Gasol as a blue-collar worker.

This is treating Conley and Gay as the core, and leaving the Grizzlies in a run on Gasol in a change of direction.

After listening to Mark's words, Gasol couldn't sit still.
