Chapter 93 Back to Back Competition
"Hey, Li, haven't you read today's news?" Li Rong was lying in her hotel room in Memphis to rest, and Brewer pushed the door and broke in.
"What?" Li Rong sat up from the bed and shook her head, but the fatigue still did not dissipate.
He played in the game against the Spurs for nearly 40 minutes yesterday, and then he climbed onto the team without rest and chartered a plane to Memphis to prepare for a back-to-back match with the Grizzlies. It felt like his body was hollowed out.
"You're the All-Star Candidate." Brewer looked at Li Rong with envious eyes.
Li Rong was included in the All-Star shortlist after only ten games, and based on Yao Ming's previous experience, he is likely to be directly selected as the All-Star by those Chinese fans.
"Oh!" Li Rong's reaction to this matter was plain and fell on the bed again. Now even if a god came over and told him that he was going to ascend, he had to finish his sleep first.
Back to back is so tormenting...
"And..." Brewer felt a little embarrassed, "Coach Whitman came to my room just now and said that I would be in the lineup tonight."
"Bang!" Li Rong bounced off the bed again and gave Brewer a big hug, "Congratulations!"
Then he fell heavily on the bed again.
"Then..." Brewer was a little reluctant to speak, "You go to bed first."
After saying that, he quietly retreated to the door of the room.
"As long as you see me picking up the rebound, you run forward, and I will pass the ball to you." Li Rong's weak voice came from the house.
"Thank you!" Brewer said excitedly.
Hearing the sound of closing the door from the door, Li Rong closed his eyes again.
Brewer obviously won't enter the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Recently, Whitman has frequently adjusted his lineup to try to find the best combination.
But no matter how skilled the chef is, these cabbage gangs and rotten vegetables cannot make a Manchu and Han chew, so they can only draw the general from the short ones.
Li Rong thought Brewer was very suitable for playing in the second position two days ago, at least his defense was still very good. It is estimated that Whitman also took this interest and put him in.
It is estimated that Brewer was afraid of ruining his career, so he came to find him, hoping to have more ball rights, so he showed himself in front of Whitman and stabilized his position.
In fact, if he doesn't come here specifically today, Li Rong will also give him plenty of opportunities to perform. The team's backcourt defense is too bad, and he also wants to have an extra person who can defend to help him share the defensive pressure on the field.
However, Brewer put down his round pick and took the initiative to approach him today, which also shows that his position in the team had reached a height without realizing it.
Al Jefferson is a person with a good temper and is more suitable to be a second-in-command.
And those players who do not accept discipline will definitely be slowly eliminated by the management.
Sooner or later, this team will become its own team.
The team only conducted a warm-up training for a while in the afternoon, and Whitman announced that he would put Brewer in during training.
Terfell was once again demoted to substitute because of that key turnover in the last game.
The Grizzlies have made great progress since moving from Vancouver to Memphis and have entered the playoffs for three consecutive years.
However, they have not won the game in the playoffs so far, with a record of O wins and 12 losses, which means they have been ruthlessly swept out for three years.
Last year, the Grizzlies started to play shyly for Oden and Durant, but in the end they only won the No. 4 pick and chose Mike Conley.
However, Conley has not yet got a chance to play. Their point guard is still "Flying Squirrel" Daliu Stodmeier, and the bench is still sitting on the bench, Kyle Lowry, who has performed well recently.
The master of this grizzly bear is Paul Gasol, a Spanish man with a height of seven feet, an amazing wingspan and a hairy face.
Their small forward is Rudy Guy. Guy has made significant progress this season, and has averaged 2o points per game, and has the opportunity to compete for the fastest progress award.
He has a perfect NBA small forward figure and a sprinter-level bounce, which can easily complete various dunks.
Coupled with his flexible pace, he is enough to defend most of the NBA's second and third positions.
However, he was a little lazy on the defensive end of the court, and most of his offense did not rely on his outstanding body to rush into the basket, but liked to dribble mid-range shots after a single match, giving people a feeling of being a wave shot.
His shooting guard Mike Miller is a high-IQ white shooter with accurate shooting, beautiful passes, and moderate defense.
Center Dako Milicic, the second-place pick in the O3 Golden Generation draft, a talented player who was ruined by Larry Brown.
Larry Brown is known as the tyrant of the coaching class. During his coaching at the Pistons, he was addicted to the strength of the Pistons and was not in the mood to cultivate this new second place he chose.
He often habitually defames Milicic in front of the media and refuses to give him enough playing time, and is usually not qualified to integrate into the Pistons' rotation system and is not ready to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
After Larry Brown was dismissed, Billups told reporters frankly that Brown treated Milicic, who was only 18 years old, and completely destroyed his self-esteem and confidence.
He said that in the playoffs, other Pistons players were talking and laughing, but never saw Dako showing a smile, whether in training or in games.
Timberwolves lineup: Li Rong, Jefferson, McCantz, Gomez and Brewer who was just transferred.
At the beginning of the game, the team was in a bad state. Jefferson received the pass inside and transported the ball directly to his feet, making a mistake out.
Everyone's shooting percentage was also very bad. Gomez had many open opportunities on the periphery in this quarter, but only 1 of 5 shots was made.
The Timberwolves fell behind their opponents by 5 points 21-26 in the quarter.
The Timberwolves made 5 more mistakes in the second quarter. Whitman knew that everyone was tired from back to back, so he deliberately arranged the lineup to rest for a while.
Antoine Walker started his wave-shooting performance again, shooting 9 times in a single quarter, but only scored 6 points. The Timberwolves fell behind their opponents by 9 points in the first half.
The third quarter became a complete collapse of the Timberwolves, and the team made a total of 8 mistakes in this quarter.
Even Li Rong contributed three mistakes, two of which were unforced mistakes.
The Grizzlies completely opened up the situation in this quarter and beat the Timberwolves 15 points in a single quarter.
The Timberwolves, who were 24 points behind in the fourth quarter, did not do much resistance and surrendered, and eventually lost to their opponents 88-1o9 by 21 points.
Li Rong failed to perform well in this game, making 6 of 16 shots in the game and only scored 14 points, and made 6 career-high turnovers.
Chapter completed!
