199. The first failure
The Grizzlies signed older rookie Leicester Hudson who was cut by the Celtics not long ago and ranked 28th in the second round. A short contract of ten days has been enough for a 13-man roster.
Coach Hollins looked at the names of the 11 players who could play tonight...
And even if the two players who have returned from the transaction can play in the next game, the Grizzlies' bench is still not enough, Sam Young, Darrell Arthur, Haddadi, Marcus Williams and so on
For players who are difficult to get playing time in other teams, the Grizzlies can only use these players as main substitutes now.
But even so, it is the consensus between Coach Hollins and Chris Wallace not to blindly take players from the Cavaliers.
There are many well-known players in the Cavaliers who can choose at will, but they basically go to get big contracts for retirement. No other team is willing to give them such a big contract. Only the Cavaliers are willing to give them, and no one can pay for money.
If you can't get through, of course you'll go to the Knights.
However, Mayo's first exchange for two made the lineup much more reasonable than before, and it was much better. Before, Guy and Mayo were both forced to let Guy be a pitcher, and Guy was forced to do so.
Yi's skills may not be as good as Mayo, but their physical fitness is better and it is easier to score singles.
The most regrettable thing about Coach Hollins is that Mayo is not Bathir, and Anthony Parker is only with the top player in history with the ability to score points like James.
Regarding Bathir’s deal, we still have to make a long-term plan. Fortunately, the other party gave a positive response and was very interested in negotiating with Chris Wallace.
Trading is not something that you can complete immediately if you have a trading tendency.
If it is not for the extremely tempting chips, even if the other party has a trading tendency, it may drag it, or even before the trading deadline.
Because the Grizzlies give chips a draft pick, that is, potential talent, and Bathir is the instant combat power.
Why don’t the team with immediate combat power take two more months?
The Rockets have a tendency to trade, and the Grizzlies' management can see that, but the Rockets are not in a hurry, and the Grizzlies can only wait first.
Roma was not built in one day. With Anthony Parker, a pitcher who is 1.98 meters tall, who can play two substitute positions, the defender and small forward, he has prepared for Battier's arrival, and Anthony Parker's defense is also OK.
, but he is a little older and can't keep up with his fast opponent, and he is considered the poor version of Bathir.
The current direction of the Grizzlies is that the point guard has already had Sun Ce as a substitute. The ideal situation for the two positions of forward and guard is Bathir and Guy. The substitute forward and guard are composed of Carol and Anthony Parker, and there are insiders.
Randolph and Gasol Jr. are already one of the best inside players in the league. The substitutes Jordan Jr., Sam Young, and Darrell Arthur three physically qualifying men can hold on.
The main thing is Bathir! If you can get Bathir, the core structure will be considered complete!
At least there will be three substitutes who can take on important tasks at that time, Sun Ce, Anthony Parker, and Jordan Jr., and eight players who will not suffer losses in or in the rotation stage.
Coach Hollins is happy that if nothing unexpected happens, the All-Stars can complete the transaction before the weekend, it depends on how to complete the transaction in advance.
Next is to patiently negotiate the details of the transaction with the Rockets. Although the chips are prepared, you can save as much as possible.
But, it’s still awful to fight the King tonight. There are 6 main players, but today there are only 5!
...
...
The coaching staff is worried about tonight's game, and the five main players are also worried.
The winning rate just exceeded 50%, 7 wins and 6 losses. As a result, there was one player missing before the second game back to back. It was the team's third scorer, and it was the main scorer who only 1 point less than the second scorer.
.
Maybe other non-main players will be very happy, they may get more playing time, after all, playing time is the most important thing for many players.
Sun Ce was both expectant and nervous about tonight.
Mayo is gone... No, he was traded and his position is more stable, but before the arrival of the new players, he was burdened even heavier!
"As the only post-90s generation in the west, I have been bearing the burden that my beauty should not bear!" Sun Ce politely and continued to warm up.
The game is about to begin in less than two hours.
Just as Sun Ce was carefully completing each warm-up step guided by the trainer, the system interface suddenly popped up in front of him.
"Interek Evans once abused the host bloodied, and the host was unwilling to accept it. The little overlord's small notebook reached the triggering condition."
"Um?"
Just as Sun Ce was stunned, the words on the system screen changed.
"The first incident of Little Overlord's Little Book: The Strongest Person in the Reverse Battle (b)."
"The strongest counterattack (b): In the game against the Kings tonight, the measurement data must be surrounded by Tyrek Evans in all directions.
Event Reward: B-level lottery card.
Punishment for failure: Random punishment for level b.”
"Wait! Brothers in the learning machine, please tell me clearly! Who is unwilling to accept it? I'm very willing! I just like to be abused, I just like to be ravaged..."
...
...
Sun Ce’s inner self-deprecation cannot change anything.
At 5:15 pm, the second back-to-back match between the Grizzlies was about to begin, and the players of both teams had already entered the stadium.
The Grizzlies sent out a lineup with Conley, Marcus Williams, Guy, Randolph and Gasol Jr.
On the Kings, Evans, Francisco Garcia, Ome Casby, Carl Landry, and Spencer Hawys made the lineup.
After the entrance ceremony, Sun Ce sat on the bench and looked at the former roommate who was so excited that he had been ranked first in the rookie rankings. It was so painful.
"My God! Evans originally wanted to make me a fuck, and there was such an incident!"
Every time Evans saw him, his eyes turned red like a bull in love.
Who made Sun Ce the only rookie this season to win a triple-double? Evans is a little bit short of each time, either one or two rebounds or one or two assists.
The Kings are currently the last game of three consecutive away games. They sent Kevin Martin to the Rockets to help Evans further liberate the ball, and also got a power forward Carl Landry who is quite suitable for Evans.
The night before yesterday, Evans hit Felton and scored a career-high 34 points, leading the Kings to defeat the Bobcats with 34 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, ending a four-game losing streak. Now he is in full swing.
But it just so happened that the Grizzlies lost the team's third scorer...
And the Grizzlies have a back-to-back second game!
At half past five, the game began on time.
After playing for more than 3 minutes at the beginning, the Grizzlies fell 2-9 and 7 points behind...
Except for Randolph's singles self-shot and scored two points twice in one round, the Grizzlies had no other goals in more than three minutes.
It is true that the Kings' defense is not very good, but they firmly defend 5 and 4!
Mayo is indeed a little cancerous, but why did he have to use him before?
It's because he can at least restrain his defense, and the offensive threat is still very strong. As long as he doesn't play singles, even if he doesn't work hard on the defensive end, at least he is a clear threat point on the offensive end. At least he has to score 15 or 16 points in a game.
.
Now there is no such shooting guard!
Marcus Williams is very active and hard-working tonight, but he only averaged 19 minutes of playing time this season to score 4.3 points! This is the advantage of defense being the average level of the league.
But Mayo is the weakest part of the Grizzlies' defense. They need help from teammates, and teammates are enough to help, so it's really a pure side effect when Marcus Williams goes up.
It would be fine if the opponent is a more organized team, but the Kings... they just need to defend 5 and 4, and they want to give Marcus Williams an open space.
And Marcus Williams really couldn't make a shot!
Conversely, the Kings have just made a big deal and have just ended their losing streak, and the players are very excited.
Evans brought four teammates with mid-range shots...they played very well!
As for young teams, they have just finished the trade. If it is a trade that is conducive to their playing time for these young players, they are likely to burst out with extremely strong combat power in the short term.
Just like Marcus Williams who was 0 of 3 just now, Marcus Williams just couldn't make a shot. He played very positively, but being active is useless. Moreover, he even had Sun Ce's height close to him.
No ability to score distance.
But the opponent's players are different! Most of them are high-ranking players with good data. This is the talent accumulated by the Kings over the years of bad play! And they are full of talent from the bench, with Shanghai on the bench averaged 12+ per game.
Jason Thompson of 5, Benno Youdry, Sean May, Andres Nossioni, who averaged 12 points and 4.7 assists per game... The key is that there are many pitchers! It is very suitable for Evans!
With a one-star shooting style, the pitchers dared to shoot and made a 9-2 start.
The Grizzlies were beaten to a timeout.
Sun Ce was called and he was replaced with the lineup.
Sun Ce took a deep breath and came to the sidelines to do radio gymnastics and warmed up again.
What Sun Ce is most annoying now is that the incident in Xiaoben is not a score, but if it is a score, he immediately smashed Jennings' star experience card into this game, so that the front roommate can see what it means to hang up the wall... No
, What is strength?
However, the requirement of the incident is to surround Evans with all-round data, and the conditions at this stage do not allow it!
It’s a knife when you are on the head, and it’s a knife when you shrink your head. Go up and fight!
...
In the fourth quarter, we watched Marcus Williams, the newly signed Leicester Hudson, Carol, Sam Young, and Haddadi's lineup went up to play garbage time, Sun Ce and the four major players were on the spot.
On the bench, I couldn't help but sigh, and then changed the direction of crossing my legs together, and changed the left hand that was holding my chin to the right hand.
The five players became a pretty beautiful landscape.
The three consecutive victories after Sun Ce joined are about to be finished.
Evans played for three quarters, with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 15 assists... The Kings made the Grizzlies' shot! They led 25 points in three quarters 91 to 66, and coach Hollins also simply sent the water dispenser lineup directly.
There are few people on your back to back, so how can you fight?
Sun Ce was also a little bit sad. A teammate who was a little cancerous but the third scorer of the team was traded away. The two new teammates who may be more suitable for him have not yet reported it, but they actually encountered such an incident!
Sighing, he asked Bixtaff for the schedule. Sun Ce looked at his next opponent, played against the Suns in the next away game, and then looked at the failure punishment that had already come out...
Chapter completed!
