Chapter 552: Your Friend, Black and White Bears, is online
"Welcome to FedEx Arena in Memphis, I'm Sir Barkley who I haven't seen for a long time, and I'm still my eternal companion Sancho!" The round Sir Barkley was active in the Grizzlies' home commentary booth.
"Sancho? Charles, do you think you're Don Quixote? Please, could you please give me my name? ”
Kenny Smith said that he was quite helpless and unhappy about his old partner's ridicule of his name every time, but there was no way, if he cursed, Barkley was thick-skinned and didn't care at all, and if he fought, Kenny Smith thought that his small arms and legs were not Buckley's fat opponents. "And, are you sure you know who Don Quixote is?"
"Nonsense! I've also gone to college, okay! Barkley had a proud expression of "I'm a college student" on his face, "Okay, no nonsense, let's take a look at today's game!" ”
It may be that he was in a good mood today, so he didn't continue to argue with Kenny, and directly introduced the starting lineups on both sides.
The old rule, the away team comes first, and the Spurs are still the same starting routine for 10,000 years:
Center Whiteside, power forward Duncan, small forward Leonard, scoring guard Qin Yan, point guard Parker.
Then there is the Grizzlies lineup, to be honest, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies is an ironclad defensive lineup!
Center Gasol Jr., power forward Randolph, small forward Prince, scoring guard Tony Allen, point guard Conley.
That's right, this lineup is basically defenders, don't look at Randolph who was called a black hole player before, but in the Grizzlies, Randolph's defense is still very good.
Moreover, the Grizzlies' scoring guard, I really feel sorry for the word "score" in the scoring guard, Tony Allen basically doesn't take the initiative to score, just professional defense and other dirty work, I think it may be more appropriate to call him a defensive guard.
Of course, there is another acquaintance on the Grizzlies bench, that is, Carter, who originally said that he would come to the Spurs after Maddie won the championship, and the Spurs did not contact him in the summer, but unfortunately Carter finally gave up the opportunity to come to the Spurs for some reason, but joined the Grizzlies.
Perhaps, he doesn't want to be said to be hugging his thighs.
But Carter is actually too worried, look at Maddy, how well he is mixed in the Spurs now, with Ginobili with the second team, a proper Spurs seventh man, won the championship last year, and his final block to Ray Allen was crucial, with Maddy's contribution to the team last year, no one would say that he won the championship by hugging his thighs.
"Hello, Qin!"
Before the start of the game, Randolph, who has a cute, round baby face, came over with little Gasol to say hello, and this thing speaks Chinese!
"Hello." Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that Randolph is still so polite and polite, he knew that this was the home court of the Grizzlies, even if he wanted to say hello, it should be Duncan who took Qin Yan and them over first.
"Hehe, I only know a little bit of Chinese." Randolph grinned and said that this guy was really as cute as a pet bear now, and his face made people want to go up and pinch it twice.
It is said that many children in Memphis are now Randolph fans because of his cuteness.
If those little kids knew that Randolph had been called a villain, the prodigal son, I wonder what they would think......
Gasol Jr. doesn't talk much, he is more similar to his brother, it is estimated that this is the character, they are more shy, not very talkative, this will be with Duncan and the two don't know what to communicate in a low voice.
It seems that the Grizzlies and Spurs are quite harmonious, but don't forget that in 2011, when Qin Yan had not yet come, the Spurs and Grizzlies met in the playoffs, and they met as the first and eighth in the West.
Everyone knows what the result is, the Grizzly Bears, under the leadership of the Lan fat man who now looks harmless to humans and animals, used their toughness to kill the Spurs and staged the fourth "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history!
It was also from that time that the Grizzlies officially became one of the strongest teams in the West, and Randolph was also hailed as a typical example of "the prodigal son who turned back and did not change his money".
"Tick-"
The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!
Whiteside's jump ball success rate is above 90%, especially Gasol Jr. is a typical heavy floor flow big center, and his jump ball Whiteside is impossible to lose.
Parker received the ball, Conley did not stick to him, but let him take a step and follow closely, anyway, Conley also knew that Parker's three points were not particularly slippery, and paying attention to the breakthrough was the right way.
Qin Yan looked at Conley who was confronting Parker, to be honest, Conley's steady style of play Qin Yan admired very much, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Conley was very suitable to play for the Spurs, if Parker retired, Conley would definitely be a very suitable supplement.
But in Qin Yan's memory, the Grizzlies were unlikely to let Conley go, and later gave him a contract with an annual salary of 30 million+, which was too big for the Spurs to say they couldn't afford it.
So if you want to dig up Conley, it's really difficult.
Parker changed direction twice in a row and didn't shake off Conley, so he gave the ball to Whiteside with a single shot.
The moment Whiteside received the ball, he suddenly felt a wall appear behind him!
That's right, and it's not an ordinary wall, it's definitely the kind of reinforced concrete wall that has been reinforced with steel plates!
Little Gasol! The difference with his brother is that his defensive ability is much stronger, and because of Qin Yan's butterfly effect, Gasol Jr., who was originally injured at this time in history, is still alive and well (Qin Yan said that he is used to it, Rose, Kobe Bryant is fine, and Maddie was cured by himself, ......), so as soon as Whiteside received the ball, Gasol Jr. blocked it.
It's not wise to eat hard.
Whiteside made a quick judgment, then raised the basketball in the air and made a shoulder-shaking feint, then turned around and tried to make a jumper.
"Smack!" Gasol Jr.'s defense is still very strong, Whiteside's ball is not far enough, the ball is covered by Gasol Jr. in mid-air, and then taken down by the way.
Conley received the ball, dribbled steadily across half court, then picked up Pulis's block and found Randolph in the crowd, and a long pass went straight to him.
Randolph didn't pause after receiving the ball, and twisted his chubby body directly against Duncan's waist, and then the whole person instantly burst in from Duncan's defense, and made a layup when everyone didn't react!
"Well, Charles, the way Zach plays is kind of like you."
Seeing Randolph's ball, Kenny Smith thought most about the fat man next to him, and Barkley often did this at the beginning, but Barkley was faster and more powerful.
"Hey, hey, he's not like me, he can only run so fast for a short distance and suddenly have that speed, while I can run the whole course at that fast speed." Barkley still had a proud face, but he was right, God knows why this guy was so fat but his strength and bounce speed were top-notch.
However, as soon as the Grizzlies came up, Gasol Jr. blocked, Randolph scored, and the "black and white bears" were really fierce, and the online speed was quite fast!
