Chapter 637 Fierce Battle with the Grizzlies
At the gathering in Dallas, Liu Han told Yao Min a lot that he didn't want this good helper of the national team to suffer in the Rockets.

Yao Min was also thoughtful when he left. In the past, he was always grateful to the Rockets, and at the same time thanked the Rockets for helping him after his arrival, but now he began to think about this issue rationally.

After the game against the Rockets, the Mavericks won nine consecutive victories. Their strong posture and strong offensive power have shocked other teams in the league. At the same time, some teams with poor records are also Considering whether to learn the tactics of the Mavericks, at least this kind of ornamental tactics is very attractive to the audience.

Nine consecutive victories may not be a big deal in the history of the league, but it is rare in the league in recent years to beat opponents by more than [-] points in nine consecutive games, except that the Mavericks were behind for a while in the game against the Spurs , The Mavericks have always been in the lead in the other eight games, which has to make the Mavericks fans excited, and at the same time make the Mavericks players full of pride.

Just like the Lakers back then, the current players of the Mavericks find it easier to play with Liu Han than before. With Liu Han attracting double-teams, there are almost a lot more vacancies for others. At the same time, Liu Han himself is also a very A qualified ball handler, he only scores when he is needed, and focuses on organizing offenses most of the time.

The next opponent of the Mavericks is the Grizzlies, which has always been a big team in the league, which means that they have the opportunity to hit a ten-game winning streak.

The Grizzlies have been a big team in the league since the team joined the NBA in 1995. The team's original home was in Vancouver, Canada, but obviously, it was the territory of the North American Hockey League. At that time, the attendance rate ranked the bottom one year after year.

In 2001, the Grizzlies moved to Memphis, Tennessee. Although this place is not developed, the team is welcomed by basketball fans here.

In 2002, the Grizzlies hired Jerry West, who left the Lakers, as the general manager of the team, and then the Grizzlies entered a new period.

Before the arrival of Jerry West, there were actually many outstanding players in the Grizzlies team, because they had won the lottery picks in the draft year after year, and the Grizzlies had accumulated a group of very good players through the draft. The record is not good, and the team has experienced various twists and turns, so few of these players want to stay, so Jerry West made drastic changes to the team after he took office.

Jerry West first used the powerful players in the team who did not want to stay to trade many good rookies, such as the Spaniard Pau Gasol who was the No. 2001 in 2000, Mike Miller who was the fifth overall pick in 98. The Kings dug up Jason Williams, the seventh overall pick in [-], plus a few players who hoped to stay. The surface strength of the Grizzlies seemed to be declining, but the team began to develop towards a whole. .

Originally, Jerry West planned to invite Liu Han to the team, so that the Grizzlies would immediately complete the reconstruction, but it is a pity that Liu Han chose to go to Dallas, but the results of the Grizzlies at the beginning of this season were not bad. In the past, the results of 4 wins and 4 losses in eight games are not too bad.

However, although their next game is at home, their opponent is the Mavericks, which is currently ranked first in the league. Such an opponent has to be careful for the Grizzlies, especially Liu Han is also on the Mavericks. Jerry West But he is very clear about Liu Han's strength.

The game will be held on November 11 at FedEx Arena in Memphis.

The current head coach of the Grizzlies is the old coach Hubie Brown. He made some changes to the Grizzlies' starting lineup for the Mavericks' tactics. The previous starting center Chakalidis did not start. A lineup to deal with the Mavericks' "bombardment" tactics.

Pau Gasol started as center, Mike Miller served as power forward, defensive giant Sean Battier served as small forward, James Posey also played defensively at shooting guard, and Jason Williams served as the ball handler Guard, the Grizzlies' lineup emphasizes defense, and at the same time, it doesn't suffer at all in terms of speed.

After the game started, the Grizzlies attacked first (meaning Nowitzki lost the jump ball).

Jason Williams' dribbling made Liu Han feel a little threatened, and Liu Han was shocked by the proficiency of this white guy's dribbling skills.

Paul Gasol gave Williams a high screen and went down. Williams gave the ball to Paul Gasol with a very different ground pass. The latter easily turned and hooked in the face of Nowitzki's defense. Hitting two points, this ball can be said that the Mavericks' defense is bad, and at the same time it can be said that the Grizzlies are acting like a whole.

Next, the Mavericks’ offense encountered a lot of problems. First of all, Liu Han’s possession of the ball encountered James Posey’s tight defense. At the same time, Sean Battier was also hovering around Liu Han. The defense of these two people was very good. Excellent, put a lot of pressure on Liu Han, Liu Han had to pass the ball to Odom, let him organize the attack.

But today's Mavericks players seem a little too complacent. After Odom received the ball from outside the three-point line, he directly shot a three-pointer against Sean Battier's defense who came over from the assist defense. The ball hit the front of the basket.

The Grizzlies didn't take the opportunity to fight back. The players in their team are all from famous basketball schools in the United States. For example, Shane Battier is from Duke, while Mike Miller and Williams are from the University of Florida. Passed professional tactical training, and completed the tasks assigned by the coach very seriously during the game. In addition, Pau Gasol also played in Europe, and Pau Gasol has a high degree of completion in the implementation of court tactics.

Hubie Brown repeatedly emphasized before the game that he couldn't bring up the speed in the game, and now it seems that the Grizzlies' starters are paying attention to this.

After Paul Gasol grabbed the rebound, he waited until the Mavericks returned to defense before giving the ball to Williams to control. After that, the Grizzlies still advanced slowly, and then fell into position, using pick-and-roll coordination as the main tactic.

The Mavericks are relatively deficient in defense, plus Pau Gasol has solid inside skills, and also has a good mid-range shot and pass. In addition, Mike Miller and Sean Battier are also good three-point shooters. , The Grizzlies' offense quickly achieved results. Pau Gasol encountered a double-team when he hit Nowitzki with the ball in the interior. He quickly transferred the ball to the bottom corner Mike Miller. The shot hit, and the Mavericks fell behind by five points at the start.
