Chapter 518 Tough God K
Kevin Harlan said: "Memphis easily hit the climax at home, and Rudy looked a little lost."
Chris Webber said with a smile: "This is the atmosphere at home. There are too many teams in the NBA that don't play away games. You do need to overcome a lot of interference in the away game, but in my opinion, sometimes this also makes the players lose their ability.
Too much pressure.”
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
Lowry dribbled over and passed it to DeRozan.
Thank you for opening up DeRozan.
DeRozan graduated from the University of Southern California and was the No. 9 pick in the first round of 2009. He is 201cm tall and weighs 99kg. He mainly plays the No. 2 position.
DeRozan's playing style is somewhat retro, mainly cutting into the frame for jump shots or posting up at the waist. He is good at cutting in, drawing fouls, and turning over jump shots, but his 3-point shooting is very poor. His career 3-point shooting percentage
It never exceeded 30%, and he took very few shots. Many times he didn't take even one shot in the entire game, which is contrary to the increasing number of 3-pointers in the league today.
Some people say that DeRozan is like Jordan, but it is not that Jordan did not shoot 3-pointers, and the mainstream offense at that time was mid-range jumpers and baskets, so wing players at that time rarely shot 3-pointers. But in this era, 3-pointers
The ball has become a very mainstream way of scoring. If a No. 2 position does not have a 3-pointer, is it Tony Allen?
DeRozan averaged 16.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, and has great potential. He has excellent physical fitness and participated in the 2010 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. Although he has shortcomings in technology,
The Raptors, who are short of stars, announced on October 31 that they had reached a contract extension agreement with him. The contract is worth US$38 million for four years, effective in the summer of 2013, and expiring in the summer of 2017.
Xie Kai actually likes DeRozan very much. He has a reserved personality and is not ostentatious because of his strength. He is very suitable for being a second or third player. If he can develop a 3-pointer, then the offensive threat will become even greater.
And there is almost no blind spot for the offense.
DeRozan failed to play in singles. Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, he tried to use a fake move to cut in, but the opponent judged it. He immediately turned his back and hit, faked a move, turned over and shot a jump shot - there it was!
The Raptors score for the first time! 6:2!
"DeMar's singles ability is quite good, and he has high one-on-one accuracy!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Weber said with a crooked smile: "DeMar's problem is not his post-up ability and offensive skills. One of his biggest shortcomings is that he has no threat from outside 3-pointers, so that the opponent can stand within the 3-point line to defend. Chapter 1
The second flaw is that his first step is really weak and he cannot use his speed to get rid of players in the same position. Even if there are many No. 3 positions, he cannot easily get rid of them, which requires him to make more fake moves and shakes.
"
The Grizzlies attack, Xie Kai wants the ball!
Conley passed the ball.
There were cheers at the scene. They liked Xie Kai's tit-for-tat attitude very much.
Xie opened his right wing and faced DeRozan, holding the ball and taking a feint. The opponent didn't dare to let him shoot and stayed very close.
Xie Kai started instantly, holding the ball and making a lunge with his left hand. Near the free throw line, he made a realistic fake move of praying to Buddha, which deceived DeRozan. After getting out of the way, he made an emergency stop jumper and easily hit it!
8:2, Xie Kai completed the answer ball!
K Mi in the stands shouted his name excitedly, making the scene much more lively.
"Kane Shay really refuses to admit defeat!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Weber said: "This is hard-core basketball, which has a shadow of the past. I always feel that the current league is a bit soft and not as tough as we were back then."
The Grizzlies have been suppressing the Raptors in the beginning, both in terms of the scene and the score. The Raptors were not beaten to death all at once. They played their own routines and their tactics were very clear.
Kevin Harlan lamented: "Coach Devin Casey is really not simple. The Toronto Raptors he coaches have the hope of becoming a strong team in the future."
Weber also saw it: "Don't fight when you are behind and use your own tactics. This is one of the conditions for being a strong team."
Xie Kai took a break almost halfway through the first quarter and Tony Allen came on.
Both teams have two big men inside, so they both focus on the half-court position. The Raptors look like Bargnani in the inside has an outside basket, but other than him, the other outside shots are unreliable, so there is room for offense.
Very small.
After the Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen and the Raptors, the offensive space was about the same as the Raptors. The two sides played very much like the old-school basketball of the four major centers in the 1990s.
The fans at the scene looked drowsy. This kind of game really makes people feel sleepy. You hit the inside one ball after another, and occasionally a jumper was thrown. Looking back, it was almost the same way. It seemed like it was
Watch two identical teams play against each other.
Gay recovered somewhat, and with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, he hit his first sports goal of the game.
The Raptors took the lead in replacing their second team. Their second team did not have any particularly big-name players, Aaron Gray, Amir Johnson, Terrence Ross, Landry Fields and John
·Lucas III.
The Grizzlies are also adjusting their bench lineup, and Xie Kai was the last one to be replaced.
Xie Kai was substituted in the last 2 minutes and 01 seconds of the first quarter. At this time, the score on the court was 20:17, and the Grizzlies led by 3 points.
After Xie Kai came up, K Mi in the stands immediately cheered, which made the drowsy fans instantly clear-headed.
Raptors offense.
John Lucas III slowly dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the arc.
John Lucas III is the son of John Lucas II, the No. 1 pick in the 1976 NBA draft. However, he is far from his father. He participated in the 2005 draft and ultimately went undrafted.
Lucas III is only 180cm tall and weighs only 75kg. Such a size is naturally at a disadvantage in the NBA. Even the AI back then needed coach Larry Brown to arrange blue-collar workers for him to help him wipe his butt on the defensive end. But once
It is naturally impossible for a role player to enjoy such treatment.
Landry Fields came out to catch the ball and then passed the ball to Amir Johnson in the low post.
Amir Johnson played Arthur with his back, and Ellington came to help defend. He distributed the ball to the big center Aaron Gray inside.
Aaron Gray made a dunk, and the point difference was even 1 point left!
Arenas dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai faced Jeremy Lin's former teammate Fields, and with the help of Arthur's screen, he held the ball to his right hand, took advantage of Amir Johnson's slow movement speed, and shot from mid-range - hit!
Chapter completed!
