Chapter 231: You Are Playing With Fire During the Christmas War(1/4)
Chapter 231 "Christmas War", Sexy Nian, you are playing with fire
December 23.
The New York Knicks ushered in the last game before the "Christmas Battle".
The opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies.
They have completed the "Black Eight" in the playoffs last season and have ushered in a transformation this season, but because there are too many powerful people in the east and west this season, they are just ranked fifth in the West.
Originally this season, the Grizzlies reached fourth in the regular season.
Currently, the ones ahead of them are:
Spurs, Lakers, Thunder and Clippers!
Look at these team names, think about the players in these teams...
It doesn't seem like a bad thing for the Grizzlies to be ranked fifth!
What kind of "Immortal Scheme" is that?
It’s not embarrassing to be behind them!
What's more, these teams will feel soft when they meet the Grizzlies. After all, the name of "Western Meat Grinder" is not a waste of time. Any team that meets the Grizzlies will not die even if they don't die.
Need to be deskinned.
Up to now, the "fairy teams" that lost to the Grizzlies are the Spurs and the Nets.
As for the Heat and the Lakers who won their victory, the next game against other teams ended in failure!
"I am invincible under the immortals, and I change one above the immortals"...
This sentence is the most appropriate to describe this Grizzlies!
The Knicks also felt bad about this team. D'Antoni thought for a long time and felt that this was a hard battle, even if it was a hard battle...
He made a comeback on the Knicks' record in December.
Since losing to the Clippers, they have won again in a row. Christmas is coming, and the Knicks have not lost yet.
Since that's the case...
Then I won’t fight this hard battle!
Cook has performed well recently, and this is another "Ohio Brothers" civil war. D'Antoni simply took Ray Allen to rest and pushed Cook to the starting second position.
When Cook heard D'Anthony's arrangement, his face was filled with surprise.
no……
Is happiness so sudden?!
Until the start of the next day, he felt that it was a dream.
After all, he has never played a starting role since his rookie season.
The huge cheers at the scene made him sure that this was really...
Not a dream!
The excitement made him want to do something big.
But soon he discovered that he couldn't play this "high-end game".
The Grizzlies' starting lineup has changed in the new season. They transferred OJ Mayo, the "Jordan Kobe Combination" who is more talented than Li Wan in Chris Wallace to the bench. - Mayo uses three
The time of the season has proved that he is indeed a "combination of Jordan and Kobe", but in the low-end game, the NBA's level is a bit higher. When the opponent is more and more adapted to his playing style, his efficiency on the offensive end is even more and more.
Sluggish.
The current lineup of the Grizzlies is actually not short of ball handlers and scorers. Whether it is Mike Conley and Rudy Guy, they have the ability to play with the ball.
Tony Allen officially enters the Grizzlies' starting lineup...
The Grizzlies in the "Black and White Two Bears" era ushered in their strongest lineup.
Whether facing Rudy Guy or Tony Allen, it made him unable to take action so freely. Especially Tony Allen, who is now holding the "Bryant Terminator" on his head, has been recognized by Kobe himself.
"His defense is what stresses me the most", and it has become a nightmare for all outside players.
It was not until Li Wan succeeded in singles in a row that the defender in front of Cook became Mike Conley.
Otherwise, the one who saves the brother must be the brother!
Cook's words were not just for Li Wan.
If it weren't for Li Wan's singles ability, the Grizzlies wouldn't have changed their team.
but……
It was also Mike Conley who defended in front of Cook.
He just made the first three-pointer in this game!
One puts him in a small pressure, the other puts him in a small pressure...
Really, it's so hard to choose!
However, if you ask Cook, Li Wan and Conley fell into the water at the same time, who do you save, he will definitely give the answer without hesitation:
Li Wan!
Then let Conley grab Li Wan's leg and pull it up together...
What, you said Cook was hinting at Conley and asked him to hug Li Wan's thighs too?
Don't make trouble!
I don't have that meaning~
Mike Conley looked doggy-like.
He was just now faced with a continuous face by Li Wan.
Not even his face was dry!
Cook gave him a look again!
This is fucking...
Is I shooting n people killing themes?
No!
Conley felt that he was a little more miserable.
At least they still have the director shouting "Click"!
The head coach here is reluctant to shout a timeout.
Just putting your hands in your pockets and watching them on the sidelines, confirming that sentence:
That year I put my hands in my pockets, and I don’t know what my players were being humiliated.
It would be fine if these two guys were targeted like this on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, Li Wan and Cook also stared at him. The first quarter was almost over, and Conley only got the first 2 point of the game. Then he waited for the first half to finish.
He only scored his second goal in the half game...
2 of 8 shots!
And this is not just a half-time situation. In the second half, Mike Conley still lost himself in the targeted defense between Li Wan and Cook.
If these two people know him well!
Let the two of them join forces, and Mike Conley twisted his butt, they knew that they should cover their noses quickly. This was a loud and smelly "stinky fart"!
92 to 87.
The Grizzlies eventually won the game with 5 points.
Conley, who just won the game, was not happy. He only had 13 points in the game and shot 33.3%, and was covered by Cook and Li Wan-san.
But this is not the most important thing...
"Cheers, treats!"
Cook rushed towards Conley at the first time of the game.
The night before the game, the three of them met and had a meal. I heard that Cook was also included in the starting lineup, Conley proposed to take a gamble:
"Tomorrow's lowest shooting percentage treats guests to dinner!"
Now that the game is over, although Cook's score is not as high as Mike Conley, he only scored 11 points, but his shooting percentage reaches 40%!
Not to mention Li Wan's shooting percentage...
Even when facing "Bryant Terminator" and Rudy Guy...
He also scored 50% of his shooting percentage!
It is lower than usual, but it is much higher than Conley.
Conley really wanted to ask, "Is it cheap?"
Just for a meal, two people were defending, so they targeted him!
However, what made him even more aggrieved was that...
To be continued...
