Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 41 The end of the regular season!Final sprint!

After the All-Star weekend, the regular season continues.

Before the trade deadline, the Grizzlies did not make any trades, and prepared to use this team to hit the championship.

The league's No. [-] record speaks volumes, and the Grizzlies don't need to make changes to the lineup.

In the next few games, the Grizzlies successively defeated the Timberwolves, Bobcats, 76ers, and Suns, with a record of 44 wins and 8 losses.

Lu Yong's offensive strategy has become sharper as the season progresses. Once the main players find the touch, they can always play a wave of offensive in a very short time.

Arranging rest for core players against underdogs also played a vital role, allowing the main players to better ensure their physical fitness in the second half of the season and reduce the chance of regular season injuries.

At the end of February, the Grizzlies challenged the Nuggets away.

Some media believe that the Nuggets have a high probability of ending the Grizzlies' winning streak at home. The Nuggets are doing well recently and currently rank fifth in the Western Conference, second only to the Grizzlies, Mavericks, Suns and Spurs.

Anthony and Iverson have strong singles ability in the backcourt. Once the offensive end is opened, they have the ability to beat any team in the league.

As a result, once the game started, the experts were slapped in the face by the Grizzlies.

Although small forward Anthony was not locked one-on-one by Ariza, the offensive efficiency was not high. He only made 19 of 6 shots and his shooting percentage was only 31.6%.

The Grizzlies led the Denver Nuggets by 21 points in three quarters thanks to an outburst by Rudy Gay off the bench.

The Nuggets' starting center Marcus Camby is an out-and-out brush. In order to block shots, he deliberately retreated into the penalty area and waited for his opponent to layup.

The pick-and-roll defense will only sink, and it will not step forward to interfere with the Grizzlies' mid-range shots. Gay and Stoudemire are crazy about mid-range shots.

Camby's defensive habits are terrible. He can be regarded as the predecessor of "Big Whiteside" Whiteside. He has blocked triple-doubles many times, but the actual defensive effect is a mess.

When he was Ewing's substitute in the Knicks in the early years, he was pretty good. Later, he tasted the sweetness of brushing data and simply turned into a block brush.

In 99, the Knicks were able to break out of the East, and Camby still played a big role.Especially in the series between the Eastern Conference Finals and the Pacers, facing the double Davis and Schmitz, Camby filled the blank of Ewing's absence very well.

But after joining the Nuggets, this guy immediately became enlightened. He worked hard and no one asked him, and once he got the cap, the world knew it. Instead of working hard on the defensive end and not even getting a hair, it would be better to get a few more blocks for Wang Shuangshuang.

In the words of the Nuggets fans at the time, Camby couldn't defend Tang Zhengdong with a single defense.

The depth of the Nuggets' bench is far inferior to that of the Grizzlies. Only the young sixth man JR-Smith can play.Others are very average.

After the first two guns rested, the Nuggets' substitutes could only rely on JR-Smith to play singles with the ball, and chasing points became a luxury.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets 118 to 102, five games away from surpassing last year's record of 49 wins.

The media has been shocked by the strength shown by the Grizzlies this season. It reminds people of the Seattle SuperSonics who fought against the Bulls dynasty. The offensive firepower is the best in the league, and the defense is also excellent.

There are only the last 29 games left in the regular season. The outside world believes that this Grizzlies can stabilize the league's No. [-] position and start a new chapter in the playoffs with the best record in team history.

Most people are very optimistic that the Grizzlies can win the championship this season, eliminate the Mavericks in the playoffs, and complete revenge in a real sense.

The Mavericks rank second in the West with a record of 42 wins and 12 losses. It is difficult for them to surpass the Grizzlies in the second half of the season unless they play a wave of unreasonable winning streaks.

Teams such as the Suns, Spurs and Nuggets lost more.

The Suns, ranked third in the Western Conference, lost 15 games, three more than the Mavericks, and they could not pose a threat to the Grizzlies at all.

However, when the outside world is generally optimistic about the Grizzlies winning the championship, Lu Yong vaguely sees the hidden danger of losing.

It is the star Pau Gasol's desire to hit the regular season MVP.

In order to compete for the MVP of the regular season, Gasol has been increasing his shots later in the season, and his playing time has also continued to increase. He is much more tired than before the All-Star Weekend.

There were a few games against underdogs that were more thrilling, and they barely won by relying entirely on the strength of the team's crushing.

Fortunately, Pau Gasol's style of play is not as aggressive as O'Neal's, but he plays with technology and brains, otherwise he will be reimbursed for the season sooner or later.

After defeating the Bobcats, Heat, and Warriors, the Grizzlies lost 103 to 109 away to the Celtics, the vice president of the Eastern Conference.

Gasol played poorly in this game and was guarded to death by Celtics center Kendrick Perkins.

出战41分钟，18投仅5中，得到12分7篮板4助攻，还有全队最高的5次失误。

In the last 3 minutes of the final quarter, Gasol missed key shots one after another, and made a fatal mistake when the top of the arc supported the pass.

It was intercepted by first-year rookie Rondo and assisted Pierce to complete a game-killing fast break layup.

Lu Yong felt that Gasol could not continue playing like this. Not only was he exhausted, but he also hurt the team virtually.

It is best to take turns in the next few games and use free time to adjust your physical condition.

As a result, both Fratello and Gasol expressed their unwillingness to take turns, worrying that too many missed games would affect the regular season MVP selection.

After all, the second-ranked Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki has never rested a game and is expected to play 82 regular season games this season.

Although they lost to the Celtics in an upset, the outside media still have a high evaluation of the Grizzlies, and they still rank first in the latest ESPN rankings.

In the last game in February, the Grizzlies beat the No. 114 Pistons in the East 90 to [-] at home, and their revenge was successful.

加索尔这场状态回暖，16投9中，罚球7中6，砍下24分11篮板5助攻3封盖，将缺少本-华莱士的活塞内线爆了个体无完肤。

The Pistons did not renew the contract with the four-time best defensive player Da Ben in the summer, let him sign with the Bulls, turned around and traded from the 76ers for the aging star Chris Webber, and Rasheed Wallace formed the twin towers.

However, the scoring ability of these two brothers has declined seriously in the new season, averaging 11.3 points and 12.3 points per game respectively, taking off their star coats.

Especially Webb, who is fat and fat, standing on the court as fat as O'Neill, perfectly reflects the helplessness of the fat man: all the clothes are small at a glance.

After joining the Pistons, Webber's average of 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game can only be regarded as passable, and he is no longer the four forwards who led the team to fight against the "OK combination".

Most importantly, without Ben Wallace, the Pistons have no stars guarding the paint.

The team with the best frame protection efficiency is "Roaring Tianzun" Rashid's average of 1.6 blocks per game, which can't withstand the impact of first-class insiders at all.

When Pau Gasol went all out, the Pistons had no choice but to hold their noses and swallow the defeat.
