"Ding, gain the favorability value of Durant, the god of death, 888!
"Lan
“Ding, gain the favorability value of Westbrook the Turtle at 777!

“Ding, I gained 555 favorability points from Emperor Harden!

"
"..."
On the plane flying back to Oklahoma, Su Bei scanned the information and his face became as calm as water.
Even though it was only a narrow victory, and even though the winner was decided at the last minute, the Timberwolves' cards were still too small, and the win was not satisfying enough, so it was just ordinary.
After all, no matter how hard you beat the Thunder, you can't lose. What kind of mood swings are there?
The next day, due to the heavy schedule, the team immediately announced a holiday. Then, at noon a day later, they had to continue to the next away city, Memphis.
According to the schedule, after playing the Grizzlies, the next game will be back-to-back games. The schedule is so dense that it’s my pride, and I’m counting...
December 28, Federal Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Grizzlies was about to usher in a regular game against the Thunder. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Durant and Gasol chatted about one dollar.
They all debuted in 2007 and have signed big contracts. With this small amount of money, we can still talk about the memories of going to school together.
Mike Conley was also added. He was the fourth overall pick in 2007. His statistics are not obvious, but his cards are sufficient.
Of course, Yin Baka is also indispensable. He and Gasol are both from the country of bullfighting. When compatriots meet, they naturally have to chat for a while.
Westbrook and Mayo also chatted, but they debuted in 2008 and were in the contract year, so they didn’t sign a big contract. The two of them were neither third nor fourth, so they chatted about a few cents.
Su Bei doesn't have to talk. He can't talk to Gasol about how he led Gasol to create a dynasty with the Lakers, right?
Otherwise, we won’t be able to really talk together, and warming up quietly is the best way to go.
Tonight's opponent, the Grizzlies, is a tough nut to crack.
At this moment, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Grizzlies' top five, Gasol, Randolph, Mayo, Tony Allen, Mike Conley.
Five players from the Thunder, Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, and Westbrook.
This game will be broadcast live by TNT radio station, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
"This is a continuation of the 2011 Western Conference Semifinals!
Last season, the two sides reached a tiebreaker. The Thunder won with difficulty and got into the Western Conference Finals. At the same time, they also spent a lot of energy. When they played against the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, there were only a few drops left. After a few sprints, they were hard.
Can't get up.
Now that we meet again, we should be able to create new sparks." Lan.
Kenny Smith nodded and continued.
"With the additions of Su Bei and Billups, the Thunder have become the most popular team to win the championship, and their strength has indeed surpassed that of the Grizzlies.
However, the Grizzlies completed a black eight last season. This greatly improved the mental strength and cohesion of the entire Grizzlies team, and they played bloody games.
Although Battier cannot be retained, Arenas is signed. As long as Arenas regains half of his combat effectiveness, he will be unstoppable.
Especially Zach Randolph, after experiencing the baptism of the black eight last season, both in terms of reputation and strength, he has completed the transformation and given this Grizzlies team a tough temperament. The whole league knows that they are easy to teach.
It is no longer the green bear that others bullied before, but a real grizzly bear that can bite people.
Under the leadership of the Black and White Bears, the Grizzlies are 100 million points behind, but sitting at home, they should be able to achieve a 50-50 draw against the Thunder..."
The game has begun!Lan
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Gasol defeated Perkins and won the first possession of the ball for the Grizzlies.
Su Bei quickly followed Tony Allen.
Durant vs. OJ Mayo.
"Conley dribbled the ball to the top arc, not in a hurry, and let's see if Randolph can squeeze into position in the low post.
Perkins chose to go forward to defend, and Gasol was also closely entangled. It was already impossible to easily hand the basketball to one of the Black and White Bears..."
At this time, OJ Mayo and Gasol had already moved to the high positions on the left and right sides, bringing out the defense. Conley immediately broke through with the ball and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Gasol.
"Conley was pinched on a breakthrough. He immediately pulled out the ball and jumped up. He threw the ball to Gasol who was cutting in the air. He caught the ball and didn't grind it to the basket. He pulled up the ball and raised his hand to try for a two-point jumper..."
Yin Baka was very fast, but he was still too careless. He didn't expect that Gasol didn't talk about martial arts and didn't rush to the basket, but tried his shooting touch.
All he could do was listen to the gunshot!
Bang-dang——!
Gasol's mid-range shot was a hit.
If you try it, you will die. Lu Xun really did not deceive me.
Even though Gasol can average 14.4 points per game and shoot 50% from the field, in fact, most of his offensive options are to hit the basket.
In other words, he doesn't guarantee the hit rate he put in.
"Su Bei took off the rebound, immediately passed the ball to Westbrook, and rushed with the ball.
After experiencing the tiebreaker last season, both sides have exhausted their cards and both know how to attack their opponents' weaknesses.
There is no doubt that the black and white bears are two levels of opponents with and without physical fitness..."
Sure enough, when it comes to speed, whether it is Randolph or Gasol, the shortcomings of slow speed are immediately exposed. This is a problem of the inside twin-tower lineup, and no one can avoid it.
"It was 4 on 3 in the frontcourt. Westbrook broke through with the ball. After being flanked by Conley and Tony Allen, the basketball was thrown out. Su Bei, who followed, took the ball and threw it into the basket..."
Clang——!Lan
When Su Bei ate the cake, his whole body was hanging from the southeast corner, opening the scoring account for the Thunder.
2 to 0!
“Westbrook’s rushing to the basket is so destructive.
Without the rim protection of the Black and White Bears, the Grizzlies' inside line is just a scoring problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Thunder are desperate to move in. This is a conspiracy. No matter how good the Grizzlies defense is, it will be difficult to break it!
Next, let’s look at their offense. How should they return?
Conley dribbles the ball to the top of the arc.
Huh?
Both the Black and White Bears reached the high post. Conley continued to use Gasol's screen to get rid of Westbrook, and then dribbled the ball inside to break through. After being flanked, he immediately dumped the ball to Gasol and saw Yin Baka pounce.
After coming over, he pushed with both hands, and Gasol passed a hit to the ground..."
boom--!
The basketball bounced off the floor and flew into the hands of Randolph in the low post on the left side.
He catches the ball with his back, dives in, then turns around and hits the basket.
Perkins was crushed away and took a shot under the basket...
Peng, shua——!Lan
With the knife in hand, Randolph sent the basketball into the basket.
"Randolph holding the ball in the low post was so scary, so incomprehensible.
Even Perkins can't withstand that tonnage!
Even if he has weight and strength, he is still as flexible as a fat man..."
If you can withstand his physical impact, you won't be able to keep up with his flexible speed. If you can't keep up with his flexible speed, your body will be knocked away.
What's even more outrageous is that he has a pair of invisible wings, and his jumping ability is so powerful that it can even burst out continuously. He looks like the flying pig Barkley. What can you use to top it?
2 to 2!
Lan
"If a tree is removed, it will die, but if a person is removed, it will live!"
Who would have thought that Randolph, who was half-dead in the Knicks, would come to the Grizzlies and immediately become the biggest leg in the Grizzlies offense.
The Thunder are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, while the Grizzlies are weak on the outside but strong on the inside.
Damn if the Thunder can defend it..."
On defense, Northern Jiangsu continues to play soy sauce.
Without retreating, Tony Allen is just a defensive guy. His defense is top-notch, but his offense is a walk-on.
This makes Su Bei feel very sad!
The problem is that when the Thunder attacked, Su Bei had no chance at all and was frozen by Tony Allen's sugary defense.
Fortunately, Su Bei is not in a hurry, Lao Hu and Lao Peng are not even married!
Westbrook controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately acted recklessly, dribbling the ball and breaking through.
"Conley fought and retreated, and Gasol came to help defend and flank Westbrook.
Hey, Yin Baka was shorted, and even Perkins was shorted.
However, Su Bei made an air cut without the ball and found Yin Baka's screen. Su Bei cut instead and ran from the basket to the top arc. Westbrook immediately threw the ball over, caught the ball, lifted it, and Mei
Ao changed defense and flew over...
What the hell?
After collecting the ball and turning around, Su Bei did not shoot a three-pointer, but dribbled the ball in and broke through, heading straight into the penalty area and rushing towards the basket..."
Snapped--!
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and the referee punished Randolph's thug for a foul.
Su Bei got the opportunity to make two free throws.
Standing on the free throw line, facing the boos of the home fans, Su Bei showed no mercy, made two free throws, and steadily scored the basketball free throw.
Two swishes, 2 points won.
4 to 2!
"The Grizzlies' one-on-one defense and two king bombers couldn't withstand it. They could only defend 5 and 4 and flank the two players holding the ball.
The Grizzlies' idea is a good one, but it's a pity that the Thunder's shooting guard is no longer a 3D player like Sefolosha who can only shoot set kicks.
Su Bei’s off-ball skills can be fatal..."
Last season, the Grizzlies took turns emptying Perkins or Yin Baka, and the operation of 5 defense and 4 defense once made the Thunder's offense very uncomfortable.
That series of Western Conference semifinals, if it hadn't gone through three overtimes, would have consumed every drop of the Grizzlies' black and white bears' physical energy.
This Grizzlies team, which is rising like the sun, is very likely to reach the Western Conference Finals in advance.
Now the Grizzlies continue to copy the previous work, which is courting death.
No way, the Thunder's perimeter offense is too buggy. If they don't adopt a zone defense and flanking strategy, they will probably lose even more miserably.
The Thunder's explosive combination was so brutal in scoring that they had no choice but to bet that the Thunder's role players' little offense would not kill the game.
It's just a pity that Su Bei is a role player, but he is also an advanced version.
Off the court, Hollins had a solemn face, but the quality of his outside players was not as good as that of the Thunder. No matter how good his tactics were, they were of no use.
Now we can only let the bullets fly a little longer.
Continue to use the black and white bears as the core of the offense, hit the basket, and infinitely expand the advantage of the inside.
"It was Gasol and Randolph again, who moved to the high post and broke the Thunder's close-fitting forward attack.
Conley continued to dribble the ball in and break through. After being flanked, he immediately distributed the ball to Randolph?
What the hell?
Before Randolph was flanked, he also sent a hit to the ground, passed the ball to Gasol, who rushed in from the right side, took the ball and smashed it into the basket..."
Snapped--!
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!Lan
Yin Baka's speed was really unmatched. He swept back and blocked the shot beautifully, but still hit Gasol's hand.
The referee called a foul, and Gasol stood on the free throw line and got the opportunity to make two free throws.
Swish——!
Swish——!
When asked for points, Gasol showed no mercy and steadily scored the basketball.
4 to 4!
"Randolph's role on the court is too obvious. He attracts double-teams and then flicks away to create offensive opportunities for his teammates."
Do you think it is possible that Randolph and Gasol form a black and white bear combination, which is equivalent to the function of a stone Buddha Duncan..."
In fact, you can be more confident, not as a possibility, but as a certainty.
Coach Hollins obviously copied the Spurs' defensive work.
You don't often have one Duncan, but you can have two people who are equal to Duncan together.
Randolph's low post extra point shot.
Gasol pulls the pick-and-roll from the outside and attacks the basket. He is exactly like Duncan without great basic skills.
