Owen come on......"

Hearing the "cheers" on the scene, Owen felt that he had made a big mistake!

The fans at the scene were not cheering him on, they were mocking!

Those who heard it were sad, those who saw it were in tears, and the Grizzlies fans were sympathizing with the second-year champion on the other side.

It's miserable! However, the fans couldn't help but want to taunt Irving, who made him say that before the game?

Should!

Owen faced an infinite double change of defense, and he was caught in the flank.

Tony Allen, Beverley, and Klay Thompson took turns to press the defense, Sun Ce and Paul George defended, and inside Gasol Jr., Larry Sanders, and Lopez Jr. guarded the basket......

Nash and Yi Jianlian didn't play tonight, the two didn't need to run in so much, Randolph didn't play for the rest of the first and second quarters for 5 minutes each, and the other 12 players of the Grizzlies, regardless of whether the defense was strong at this stage or not, went all out to put themselves on the defensive end.

Sun Ce played 31 minutes, shooting 10 of 22 from the field, including 6 of 14 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and got 30 points, 12 boards, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.

Irving played 33 minutes and had six assists, but he shot 1-of-9 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to score just four points!

Hornets head coach Byron Scott was on the verge of collapse, and he was eager to find a time when the opposing team's defense was not good enough for Irving to perform.

However, the opponent's three lineup defenses are terrible! The offense wasn't good, but the defense was just too good.

Especially the kind of ruthlessness that comes with Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, and Beverley when one of the three is there!

Some young players are not particularly good at defending at the moment, but they have a good attitude and are willing to fight!

Beverley, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Battier, Larry Sanders.

Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, Gasol Jr.

Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Crowder, Lopets Jr.

These three sets of lineups are aimed at preventing Irving, even if Irving's pass is okay, the Grizzlies don't care, they want to kill Irving, and give confrontation.

Although the Hornets limited the Grizzlies' offense well, the Grizzlies scored just 79 points in the game.

However, the Hornets only scored 55 points in the game!

The Grizzlies maintained a high-intensity defense throughout the whole game, Irving couldn't even make shots, and the Hornets didn't score 20 points in any of the games! Even only scored 9 points in the third quarter!

After slaughtering the opponent by 24 points, Sun Ce was interviewed after the game and told reporters: "Irving, he's great, but he doesn't seem to know what the real NBA is, we didn't notice him before, I entered the NBA two years before him, and I didn't find out about it, it's my fault."

Therefore, we warmly prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him.

It's going to go on, and we're going to make him feel the warmth of the NBA from this preseason game to every game this season. ”

……

"Don't mess with the bully" was the headline given by a domestic sports website after the Grizzlies' final preseason game.

"The Lord's Welcome Ceremony", which is. The headline T gave after the Grizzlies' final preseason game and Sun Ce's interview.

The media is very busy, Owen says "I will be better than the lord in two years", while the media writes in the news "I will be better than the lord", and the grammatical structure of the future continuous tense of "two more years" is missing, and the fans understand the meaning much worse when they read the interview about Owen.

When the Grizzlies and Hornets played their last preseason game...... Irving really made a splash this time, and the preseason made the Grizzlies play such a game, but he also lost face!

……

……

By the end of the preseason, the Grizzlies coaching staff had a clear idea of where their team was going.

There was a three-day break after the preseason, the regular season began on November 1, and the Grizzlies had a team meeting on the morning of the game against the Hornets on the 29th.

The assistant coaches, trainers, and players all expressed their views on the current state of the team, the technical strength of the players, the state of the players, the run-in situation, etc., some people said less, some people said more, and more or less expressed their opinions.

There are also some veterans and players who are tactically aware and willing to express themselves, and have proposed a strategy to adjust the current situation of the team.

Sun Ce listened to it for a while, synthesized it, and came to several conclusions.

At present, the team has an adequate group of pitchers, but except for Nash, the players with good three-point points are all 3D players, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, Beverley is also counted, Beverley's three-point has a B+ level, and it is also Beverley's only offensive means, Sun Ce also counts his A-level top arc area three-point points, except for Nash, they all need to invest in defense.

Therefore, there is a problem, it is very likely that the shooting feeling will decline because of the big confrontation.

And they don't have too good players who can open up the situation except for the stage when Nash led the run-and-run.

Randolph's poor form right now has a huge impact on their Grizzlies' positional battle, and his grandson can't replace Randolph's role right now, or in other words, there are few interior players in the league who can play Randolph's role in the past three years.

The top three interior singles ability in the Randolph League is not something that can be replaced casually.

In other words, they may start the new season with a defensive-oriented style of play.

……

In the morning meeting, the tone of the style of play at the start of the season was set, and the players had no opinions, most of the players were keen on defending.

The meeting is over, there is no practice scheduled for today, a day off, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to prepare for the season opener against the Lakers.

As the players left the room, Coach Hollins kept Nash.

Coach Hollins said after the others left: "Steve, you didn't come two years ago, and this is the first time you've had a bad start to the season for Zach, maybe for a long time after the season starts, you won't play as long as you did last season, you may need to score more, maybe sometimes you don't get playing time because the team needs to strengthen defense......"

"Coach," Nash interrupted Coach Hollins, "you don't have to worry about my emotions, I know it's important to defend, I know what we're going to have at the start of the season, and I'm ready for it." ”

Seeing that Nash, the team's bottom-ranked defensive player, had no opinion, Coach Hollins settled down.

The last time Coach Hollins won the championship was in the 70s, and it has been 35 years, and once again being a member of the defending champion team, or the head coach, is under a lot of pressure!

I want to do a good job in all aspects, but in every way except defense, there are problems in all aspects!
