Standing pretty old

Chapter 502 Talented but not Systematic
After Eclipse got the ball, he didn't choose to pass the ball, and Darrell Arthur didn't pounce, so he directly took the ball across the half.

It was only in the frontcourt that Bibby passed the ball, and Bibby handed the ball to Jon Jonsen again.

囧囧sen took OJ* Mayo alone from the outside line. After breaking through, he chose a step-back jumper and easily hit the first goal after the opening.

Ruan Erniu huddled with Gasol Jr. in the paint, but both of them got nothing in the end.

Er Niu took a high look at the Spanish center. At least he has good strength and is not a colander on the defensive end. Maybe there will be a second All-Star player in the Gasol family in the future.

In contrast, Gasol Jr. wants to find a sense of presence in front of Er Niu.

Ruan Erniu was actually a rookie in the same class as him. Although he was only one year late in the NBA, the status of the two is already very different.

Compared with his decathlon elder brother, Gasol Jr. is more like a bad boy who is not very obedient in the eyes of adults. His heart is very complicated. On the one hand, he admires his elder brother, on the other hand, he is also in his heart, With a desire to surpass his brother.

For Ruan Erniu, who defeated Paul Gasol in the NBA Finals and the Olympic Games respectively, Marc Gasol is bent on defeating his opponent in the confrontation.

On the offensive end of the Grizzlies, Gasol Jr. beckoned for the ball, but it was obvious that the Grizzlies were not yet his turn to attack.

Conley passed the ball to Rudy Gay. Since last season, after the Grizzlies traded Gasol, Gay has become the real core of the Grizzlies team.

然而盖伊本赛季的表现并不能让人信服，他的数据从上赛季的20.1+6.2+2.0退化到了本赛季的18.9+5.5+1.7，出手次数从上赛季的16.7减少到了16.0，上场时间从37.0分钟增加到了37.3分钟。

From the data analysis alone, his efficiency has dropped slightly. Although this is joined by new teammate OJ* Mayo, his own inaction is also obvious.

Can't suppress OJ* Mayo who just joined the league in a one-on-one competition, which only proves that Gay doesn't have a heart that must become a superstar.

Such a player is not suitable to be the boss of the team no matter how hard he tries.

The opposite is players like James and Ruan Erniu. In fact, the level of effort of the players is not much different.But apart from talent, what really determines whether they can become superstars is their inner ambition.

Once the opportunity is given to guys like James and Ruan Erniu, they will not hesitate to seize the right to control the team. Gay is far behind in this respect.

Gay made a high shot and missed!
Ruan Erniu and Gasol Jr. under the basket immediately started a hand-to-hand fight. In the end, Ruan Erniu was superior and successfully judged the rebound's landing point, squeezing Gasol Jr. to get the backcourt rebound.

"RUN!" Ruan Erniu yelled, but the ball didn't pass out. He activated the "Bull Sprint" and directly rushed towards the opponent's half.

Mr. Toilet in the White House is right at all. The Eagles can't change this problem. They like to let the center dribble and launch fast breaks when nothing happens!
But the Grizzlies really can't keep up!
The frontcourt was 5 on 3, Gasol Jr. and Arthur were both pulled behind. It is understandable that the 7-foot center Gasol Jr. did not rush back. The last lunar eclipse was a bit unjustifiable.

Ruan Erniu would not let go of this opportunity. He distributed the ball from the wing to the moon eclipse who inserted in the middle. Hand dunk, put the ball into the basket.

Even so, J-Smoove, who returned from injury, was still cheered by the fans. The popularity of super dunkers will never be too bad, not to mention that the Eagles won the championship last year. An essential force for the team.

"You can fly even higher!" Ruan Erniu slapped Yue Eclipse who was retreating, encouraging him.

On the offensive end of the Grizzlies, Mike * Conley passed the ball to Gay again, and Gay passed the ball to OJ * Mayo.

Mayo was very famous in high school. If the NBA hadn't changed the rules, he would definitely join the league after graduating from high school like James.

In fact, his data in high school once surpassed LeBron James. So far, Mayo's rookie season performance is second only to Chicago's top pick Derrick Rose, ranking second on the rookie list, far better than the Miami is out of position for Michael Beasley.

Mayo held the ball at the horns and tried to get Jon Jonson alone. With one tentative step, he wanted to get past Jon Jonson.

But it's a pity that in terms of offensive skills, Jiongsen is the top player in the league, and OJ* Mayo really can't get rid of Jiongsen at this level.

"boom!"

In desperation, Mayo still forced the shot, and the result was a smooth strike. Er Niu once again leaned on Gasol to get a backcourt rebound.

Marc Gasol looks strong, but in terms of rebounding sense, he is at least two inferior to Paul Gasol.

Ruan Erniu made a direct long pass to the frontcourt, and Bibby successfully received the basketball, but Conley's return to defense was fast enough, and the Hawks' fast break failed.

Ruan Erniu ran forward with Gasol while observing the situation on the field.

Gasol retreated all the way to the penalty area, but felt that something was missing, not good!

late!

Ruan Erniu made a calm shot in the top arc area and hit!
In these two rounds, the Eagles have already almost figured out the Grizzlies' routines. If they are at this level, then they have no choice but to drink their hatred in Philips Arena.

If this young Grizzlies can score 8 points on the defensive end, they can't even reach 4 points on the offensive end.

These guys are basically fighting on their own, but they haven't established a reliable main attack point. Gay and Mayo completely distribute the ball equally.

Wilkins in the commentary even said directly to Bob Rathburn next to him: "It's another game with no suspense. Should we tell the audience about the next game schedule?"

"Will this be too disrespectful to the opponent?" Wilkins thought that Rathben would change the subject and continue to talk about the game. Unexpectedly, he continued in a serious manner: "Next, the Hawks will also play against Nick at home. Spurs game, and then back-to-back West road trips."

Wilkins: "..."

The game continues.

The Grizzlies played a few games without purpose and lacked superstars to determine the direction of the game. It is strange that they can achieve good results.

Ruan Erniu said to Gasol Jr. on the defensive end: "Save your energy! Unless you grab the offensive rebound yourself, it will be difficult for the ball to get to you."

Ruan Erniu is right. Throughout the first quarter, Marc Gasol only got two shot opportunities. One time he picked up an offensive rebound by virtue of his height, and the other time he received a transfer ball from a high position. , and hit his only goal of the quarter when no one was watching.

Fortunately, the performance of the Eagles in the first quarter was quite average. Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen's shooting percentage was not bad, but the other players hadn't found their touch yet.

Instead, the Grizzlies played a good counterattack with the help of substitute player Kyle Lowry, especially Darrell Arthur with the help of Lowry's pass, facing Zaza Pachulia's defense, Actually won consecutive free throw opportunities in the paint.

At 24:30, the Grizzlies recovered some points in the last 2 minutes, and the Hawks only ended the first quarter with a 6-point advantage.

　Thank you for your reward of being stronger than your father.
