Chapter 23 Rudy Gay

The Kings challenged Memphis away and the game officially started at 9 o'clock that night.

The main lineups of the Kings are as follows: point guard Yuduri, shooting guard Kevin Martin, small forward John Salmons, power forward Mickey Moore, center Brad Miller.

The Grizzlies' starting five tigers are point guard Mike Conli, shooting guard Juan Carlos Navarro, small forward Rudy Guy, power forward Hakeem Varick, and center Mirisic.

In terms of lineup, the thickness of the Grizzlies' inside line is obviously incomparable to the King, but the King is not without advantages. In terms of projection ability on the outside, the King has a slight advantage.

At the beginning of the game, Miller and Mirisic competed for the ball. Although Mirisic was a famous parallel-made gangster from the 2003 generation, he is still in his prime and his physical functions are incomparable to Old Miller. He easily transferred the basketball to the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies first started attacking. As soon as they entered the Kings' half, the Grizzlies first handed the basketball to Rudy Guy to play.

The core offensive direction is very clear. Rudy Guy got the basketball and was full of confidence. He started dribbling slowly on the left, waiting for his teammates to pull all the left to Rudy Guy to reserve space for singles.

Seeing that the space was opened, Rudy-Guy suddenly changed direction and broke through to the King's inside line.

Before the game, Rudy Guy also heard about the bets between Winter and Bernard. Rudy Guy actually cared about this matter very much. He felt that a player who had already been recognized by fans was not on the same level as Wang Kai.

Now they actually compare Wang Kai with him, which is nothing but nonsense. They are much better than Wang Kai.

Rudy Guy was a little concerned about this matter, so at the beginning of the game, the movements were very hot. He rushed directly to the King's basket, and Guy's physical fitness was also very good and very talented.

Although Salmons was not bad, the two of them were still separated by something called talent. Although Salmons tried hard, he still couldn't stop Rudy Guy from rushing up in one step and immediately formed a threat to the basket.

When encountering this situation, Salmons did not hesitate and took action to accompany Rudy-Guy to a foul. He kept Rudy-Guy!

At the beginning of the game, Rudy Guy used his breakthrough to create a foul by the King, and then the ball was transferred to the King's side.

Just now, Rudy Guy played with the ball, and he was like a star. But when he came to the Kings, he was more about cooperation. When Yuduli pushed the offense, Martin used the cover to catch the basketball at 45 degrees and immediately threw away Kang Li with fake moves, and shot a 2-pointer.

The Kings took the lead. Memphis' home court FedEx Center was suddenly a little anxious. At this time, the Grizzlies were almost sending a bottom line ball. The team suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Kings in the second round.

This season, the Grizzlies have some good players, such as Guy, Mike Miller, and Conley, but what the Grizzlies lack is a controller. Now the Grizzlies do not have a good point guard to run the team, nor do they have a good forward as the core, allowing the team to spin around him.

So once the Grizzlies enter the position, they become a little dull and often they can only fall into singles and cannot extricate themselves.

When encountering this situation, the Grizzlies, who have more young people, took a trick. How to do it? We will stop fighting positions, try to promote the rhythm and attack fast, and avoid attacks in positions that they are not good at.

This is one of the main playing styles of the Grizzlies this season, so at the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies suddenly accelerated their pace. They chased the king's butt and bit them up. Mike-Kangli took the lead and directly pressed the king's middle lane.

The king finally retreated and returned, but saw Kang Li pass the basketball to Navarro who followed up from behind.

Long-range shots are the best thing for Spanish bombs. Navarro, who received the basketball, made a three-pointer without hesitation.

But the Spanish bomb's luck was really not very good today. He didn't make a shot in this open three-pointer. He suddenly bounced back and bounced into Moore's hand. Moore received the ball and immediately passed it to Yuduri.

Instead, the king turned around and rushed towards the Grizzlies' position. Today's game was about to fall into a fast pace.

Siames couldn't help but worry that his team's lineup and the Grizzlies' fast break would not be able to gain any advantage.

But now the game has just begun, and Siames has not made any statements when he needs to observe the attitude.

Yuduli rushed to the Grizzlies' half, and many young players of the Grizzlies ran very quickly. When Yuduli arrived, the Grizzlies' players had almost all ran back. Kang Li was just waiting in the three-point line.

When encountering this situation, Yuduri did not hesitate at all. He got out of the three-point line and made a quick attack three-pointer.

Yuduri's advantage is that his emergency stop shooting in the fast break is very sharp, and this is also the reason why he was criticized. There are too many emergency stop shootings, and his morale will rise sharply when he hits the ball. If he fails to hit the ball, he will often be a painful memory.

Fortunately, today did not become a painful meeting, but achieved another effect and morale rose sharply.

Yuduri made a three-pointer from the fast break, and the Kings immediately led the Grizzlies 5:0. This is a good start!

Siames breathed a long sigh, but the Grizzlies' home commentator Winter immediately said sternly: "The Grizzlies' defense is so bad today. What was Kang Li doing just now? I saw his defense, and even the defense of Kevin Martin was not strict at all. Do we still want to win when playing like this?"

Although Bernard had a dispute with Winter on Wang Kai just now, he now talked about Memphis' defense.

The two of them were the same. After Winter finished speaking, Bernard immediately said: "Yes! We should strengthen our defense. If we want to win this season, we can only rely on fast attack and defense. But fast attack creates opportunities from defense. If we can't defend, how can we win?"

When these two people were dissatisfied with the team, the Grizzlies' position attack began.

The Grizzlies are not good at positional offense this season, but at this time Mike Kangli played a high pick-and-roll with Mirisic.

Then Mike - Kang Li passed the basketball to Navarro on one side. Navarro is a scoring expert in the Spanish league, and he can break through from a long shot. Now it seems that the team's position attack is really not good.

Espanyol simply took out his special skills and stepped forward to make a breakthrough, leaving a high throw through Old Miller.

Navarro is nicknamed Spanish Bomb. He was originally very good at throwing. Now facing Old Miller, Old Miller's defense is really not strong. This reduces the difficulty of Navarro's offense and starts to throw.

The basketball fell into the King's basket cleanly, and the Grizzlies relied on Navarro to get two points first.
