340. How on earth did this team win against the Lakers?
I don’t want to be the boss Text Volume 340. How did this team beat the Lakers? By March, as long as the University of Memphis has not been eliminated, the Memphis basketball circle is dominated by the University of Memphis.
Even Gasol is a fan of the University of Memphis. He has lived in German Town, where Lausanne High School is located in Memphis, since middle school. He attended Lausanne High School. Unfortunately, he really has no talent for reading. He has not finished his senior year of high school in 2003.
, because he was sure that he would not be able to go to university, so he chose to go back to Barcelona to play in the professional league.
In 2008, Gasol decided to join the Grizzlies and signed a three-year, 9.72 million contract with the Grizzlies that was comparable to a lottery pick. On the day the news was announced, Lausanne High School invited reporters to hold a press conference to announce his retirement.
The jersey worn by Gasol from his freshman to senior years, even though the high school team only played in the high school league in Memphis...
Proper heat.
After having lunch with his teammates, Sun Ce was dragged by Gasol to watch the University of Memphis play Marquette University of Wisconsin.
Anyway, the game was played in his own arena, and the team provided tickets, so Sun Ce went to watch it.
Contest……
In terms of individual abilities, there really isn't much to look at. Only Elliott Williams from both teams is ranked in the top 50 in the country, and the other players are all outside the top 150.
It's not that every team in the top 64 teams of NAA has great players. Even if there are many teams that reach the top 64 teams, not even a single player from this team has a chance to be drafted by the NBA.
After all, there are at least 700 players in 64 teams.
After all, there are only 60 picks in the NBA draft in a year. For example, the University of Kentucky is predicted to have 6 players selected this year. John Wall, who locked up the No. 1 pick after the first game month last year, is also from the University of Kentucky.
In college games, it doesn’t matter if you look at individual abilities. If you look at team strength... it’s actually average. If you build the best team in the Development League, it won’t be much worse than the championship team.
After all, sometimes the top players of the championship team are second-round picks in the NBA. Some of them go to the Development League after playing for two years. Most of the players on the NAA championship team may not have the ability to play in the Development League.
But watching them play...
Sun Ce knows why Gasol, a European player, likes NAA games so much. They are completely different basketballs from professional games!
The Grizzlies' tactics are pretty good, and they have two sets of tactics with the rotation, but the offense is Conley's top arc distribution, Gasol's high post support, Randolph's low singles and Gay's mid-range singles, which is simple and crude.
The rotating lineup offense is based on Sun Ce and DeAndre Jordan's pick-and-roll style, which is simpler...
And naa's games are very tactical!
The University of Memphis is the eighth-ranked team in the Southeastern Conference, and Marquette University was the ninth-ranked team in the Southeastern Conference. Their strength is also quite average, but their tactical coordination is very good!
The fans at the scene were enthusiastic from the beginning of the game.
At least in the regular season, the fans will not be so enthusiastic at the beginning of the Grizzlies game. The cheers of the fans at the scene can simply be described as manic. As a player, Sun Ce feels excited when he hears such cheers and wants to go up.
Abuse of food...
Indeed, it feels great. Neither team has a chance to reach the Sweet Sixteen of March Madness. The winner between them will play the top 32 of Georgetown, the first-place Southeastern Conference team with Greg Monroe.
In the game, Georgetown University slaughtered its opponents 81-49 yesterday, and neither team had a player comparable to Monroe.
But it is precisely because of this, precisely because it is impossible, precisely because neither team has any players who can gain a foothold in the NBA, and they are simply working hard for the basketball dream that so many fans are crazy!
In a knockout game, no one can tell how it will end. What if it goes wrong?
In 2008, no one expected the University of Memphis to reach the finals.
Because fans basically have never played in a professional league and have no chance to play in a professional league, they can empathize even more!
The most important thing is the game between the University of Memphis and Marquette University...the ticket price is several times higher than the non-popular game at the Grizzlies home game, and it has caught up with the ticket price for the Grizzlies home game against the Lakers!
…
The fans cheered hard for the University of Memphis, but unfortunately, the University of Memphis lost to Marquette University 61-65 and stopped in the top 64.
After Rose left the University of Memphis, the University of Memphis failed to continue to create miracles for two consecutive years.
In this way, when Sun Ce went to watch the game, he just had the mentality that if he didn't watch the free tickets, it would be in vain...
But it feels so good after watching it!
As a tactics enthusiast who holds "Basic Understanding of Tactics" and "Encyclopedia of Pick-and-Roll Tactics" all day long, Sun Ce has seen that there are many basic tactical applications in the tactics of the two universities, many of which are different from NBA games.
understanding.
Of course, if NAA tactics are directly copied to NBA, they will basically not work.
But you can learn from it!
As the core of the rotating lineup, the goal is to become the true core of a team. Sun Ce is definitely a good choice if he wants to strengthen himself in all aspects and learn more tactics.
…
The preparations of both the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies were affected because the arena was handed over to the University of Memphis and Marquette University teams starting on the afternoon of the 4th, and neither team prepared for the game on the afternoon of the 4th.
To make way for the NAA, the NBA will suspend play for one day in early April every year, and it is specifically designed to cooperate with the NAA's suspension on the final day of the following year decided in July every year.
A preparation day for a regular season game, of course, has to make way for NAA.
The Grizzlies management is also eager for this, because there is a 27% commission on game tickets.
However, the preparations for the game were all affected, but the Grizzlies had the advantage. On the training day on the 2nd, the Grizzlies coaching staff took this into consideration. It happened that the Hornets, their opponent on the 3rd, were in bad shape, so they mainly focused on
The main thing is to prepare for the game against the Trail Blazers. The tactical meeting and tactical training on the morning of the 4th are just to make more complete preparations.
As for the Trail Blazers, they arrived in Memphis yesterday and wanted to rent the arena at the University of Memphis. The University of Memphis said that the arena was being renovated...actually just to change the wallpaper...
We all are our own people, so we must help our own people.
The playoffs are getting closer and closer, the Grizzlies are expected to reach the playoffs this year, and the local playoff atmosphere in Memphis is getting stronger and stronger.
This kind of off-court interference, although the Trail Blazers are confused that the fans of the Grizzlies, a hillbilly team, do this in the regular season, it is not surprising. They are a traditional strong team that has won the championship. Although
In the new century, there is a group of veterinarians, which does not affect their status as a traditional strong team with 11 retired jerseys.
And if you don’t train for half a day, you should take it as a rest...
At 6 pm on the 5th, the game between the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers started.
Sun Ce looked at the opposing lineup of Andre Miller, Jerry Bayless, Roy, Juwan Howard, and Camby...
How did this lineup defeat the Lakers the day before yesterday?
Too bad!
If the Trail Blazers hadn't been ruthless and used their leading point guard Steve Blake as a core bargaining chip to trade Camby from the Clippers, they would not have a single center...
Oden was reimbursed after playing a total of 21 games this season, Przbilla was reimbursed after playing a total of 30 games this season, Aldridge played center for a few days after the All-Star weekend, and suffered a thigh muscle strain that will sideline him for more than a week...
…
If it weren't for the trade deadline when Aldridge was injured, and the Trail Blazers took Roy and Aldridge's last rookie bonus and promptly traded Blake for Camby, they would only have the 37-year-old Juwan.
- Howard and Shafrik Randolph, who averaged 1.3 points and 0.3 rebounds per game, are two insiders.
But even with such injuries, the Trail Blazers actually posted a record of 4 wins and 4 losses in 8 games after the All-Star break. They are now ranked seventh in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 23 losses. After defeating the Lakers in the last game, their record exceeded
Team Rocket...
The main reason was that the Lakers were in trouble. They felt that the Trail Blazers were full of injuries and looked down on the Trail Blazers. They played casually in the first three quarters and thought they could make a comeback in the fourth quarter. However, Roy scored 14 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter and hit key goals.
However, the Grizzlies did not spend as much money as the Lakers. Of course, they did not have the capital to waste money. Randolph beat his old team and drilled into the paint from the beginning!
In the first half of the first quarter, Randolph scored 7 points and 3 rebounds, and caused two fouls by Camby who was on defense.
Camby was too short to take off, so he wanted to block shots and grab rebounds. Randolph made good use of this.
