The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the weirdest teams in the league.

Other teams either rank among the best in both defense and offense, or they rank at the bottom of both.

But the Grizzlies, their offense and their defense are completely on two levels.

The defense can be said to be at the top of the league, but the offense ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

It's like an author writing a book. The real top authors usually have pictures and texts, and they have a lot of content. But there are a few weird authors who, although they have pictures and texts, they can't update them. They only update 10,000 words every day.

Please also ask for leave.

This kind of author, you don't know whether to say he is good or bad, the advantages and disadvantages are very clear.

The same is true for the Grizzlies. People don't know whether they are a strong team or a weak team.

Call them strong, their offense is really eye-catching. Call them weak, they can defend the strongest teams in the league to the point where they want to give up the profession of basketball.

The player who best represents the temperament of the Grizzlies is probably Mr. Tony, a strange flower on the cotton field.

Teacher Tony has one principle in playing: if I score one point on the offensive end, I lose, and if I score one point on the defensive end, I lose.

Neither offense nor defense can score. Tony Allen is the most equal player in the league.

The Grizzlies have gained some fame after reaching the playoffs last season. Everyone knows that this is a team that is difficult to win.

But what people never expected is that after the Grizzlies finally made it to the playoffs again last season, they chose to trade away the team's star and leading scorer Rudy Gay this offseason.

Killing one thousand enemies with one move and damaging oneself ten thousand, it really shocked the whole alliance.

However, what is even more surprising is that after trading away Rudy Gay, the Grizzlies actually got off to a 5-1 start!

While the defensive capabilities remain unchanged, the Grizzlies' offense has improved a lot.

This example tells us that since some things are useless if you keep them, chop them up quickly. Chopping them will make them stronger!

Guy experienced firsthand what it means to win without fear, and to be without someone is embarrassing.

After the Grizzlies traded Gay, they officially strengthened Harden's foundation.

With Gay here before, the Grizzlies' offense basically couldn't produce any systematic coordination, because Gay only had two offensive tactics on the court: his own singles and watching his teammates play singles.

Therefore, instead of having little coordination between him and Ha Jishi, they often competed for control. This resulted in the two of them suppressing each other on the court.

The Grizzlies were obviously more optimistic about Harden's potential, so they moved Gay away. They first traded Gay to the Raptors for Calderon and Ed Davis, and then immediately traded Karl.

Deron traded from the Pistons to Prince, Li's old teammate.

This time, the Grizzlies' defense became even more abnormal.

And Hajishi, who got rid of Gay, has performed well this season.

In the original history, Ha Jishi during this period was able to average 16.8 points per game as the sixth man next to Du Laoer and Xia Shuigui.

This season, Harden, who has more playing time, more ball rights and more shots, is already averaging 22.4 points per game.

Moreover, the Grizzlies use Harden to play the number one position!

This gives Harden a lot of possession of the ball and can unleash his talents at will, igniting Harden's organizational skills in advance.

It can be said that Hajishi was trained by the Grizzlies in the direction of being a ball-handling core.

It's just that I pity Conley. In this history, his role has become a super sixth man with great potential, and he has become Harden's original appearance.

The move to trade Gay was a stroke of genius. It not only fully released Harden's talent, but also brought in a 3D striker like Prince.

The team lineup has become more reasonable and the overall strength has increased a lot.

Therefore, having too many football stars is just like having too many girlfriends, which is not necessarily a good thing. Having too many girlfriends may seem like a blessing, but in fact it hurts your money and your health.

Gay seems to be a star, but if he is replaced by a role player like Prince, the team will become better.

The Grizzlies this season are undoubtedly a dark horse.

It seems that after watching the videos of the Grizzlies' recent games, Li Ang sighed.

The West is getting more and more convoluted.

Now the Grizzlies, after supplementing the ball-handling core of Ha Jishi, the strength has improved by more than one and a half stars compared to the original history.

Although Hajishi's defense is still very confusing, and he has not been influenced by his teammates in terms of defense. But having Teacher Tony and Prince around him are enough to help him clean his butt.

The Grizzlies are already very strong, yet they met in back-to-back situations.

Who can endure being tired and meeting a annoying little goblin?

On the afternoon of the 9th, in the home team locker room of the Intuit Center, everyone on the Clippers team was not to say listless, but also weak.

All of them looked as if they had overdosed on a fruit plate and were feeling listless.

Old Deng even called his new girlfriend Vanessa in advance: "My dear, go to bed early tonight and don't have to wait for me. Waiting is in vain!"

Barnes even fell asleep leaning against the locker. Before falling asleep, he asked Jordan to remember to call him when he came on the court.

Even Lu Zi looked tired.

He was afraid that he would fall asleep during the game again today.

Playing three games in three days is something that everyone here has never experienced before. After all, this is a special event only in the shortened season.

Seeing the state of the team, Li Ang knew that today would definitely be a tough battle.

And the pressure on myself will definitely become great.

Although this is just an ordinary regular season, to be honest, it doesn't matter even if he loses. Moreover, Li Ang has no record-related dungeon tasks this season.

Li Ang has broken the regular season winning record twice, so there is no need to work hard for the regular season.

But Li Ang still wants to do his best to win the game, because Li Ang feels that it is safest to enter the playoffs as the first in the Western Conference.

This year, there are too many monsters in the Western Conference. If we enter the playoffs as second or third, it means that we will encounter strong opponents in the Western Conference semifinals.

That's really unfavorable.

Therefore, from the beginning of the season, Li Ang must ensure his regular season record.

When they went on the court to warm up, the fatigue of the Clippers players was clearly visible to the naked eye.

It feels like no one is excited.

Let alone playing games, even if a pretty girl plays games with you for three consecutive days, you will lose your energy.

Soon, everyone from the Grizzlies team also came out to warm up.

Unlike the sluggish Clippers, when everyone from the Grizzlies walked into the Intuit Center, it was like seeing a row of fugitive princesses at a KTV for the first time.

There was excitement and a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

This is one of the few live broadcast games in which the Grizzlies are completely ugly. In the cotton fields of Memphis, it rarely attracts so much attention.

Given this rare opportunity, the Grizzlies definitely want to do something big.

Tony Allen turned to look at Li Ang, and then yelled at Li Ang from a distance: "The best defensive team!"

This is a demonstration and a show off.

Li Ang shook his head and replied: "I have been on the best defensive team for 11 consecutive years, No. 1 in history."

"Ah, this..." Tony Allen curled his lips, pretending to be careless, pretending to be Leon's professionalism.

Also, honor cannot be compared with an honor harvester like Li Ang.

The competition is about how to prevent the opponent from scoring during the game!

The reporter also interviewed Li Ang before the game and asked him what he thought about the prospects of the Grizzlies this season.

Li Ang did not lie. He admitted that the Grizzlies are very strong this season: "They will become a powerful force. Harden, Prince, Randolph and Marc Gasol are all very good teams.

."

When the reporter relayed these words to Tony Allen, teacher Tony was stunned.

No, how could one of my best defenders become a "waiting person"?

Conley: Come on, it's me who's waiting for you, and you don't deserve a name at all.

As expected, Li Ang was always nurturing his opponents.

During the interview stage, Teacher Tony was brutally attacked.

But it doesn't matter, he is determined to regain his face in the game.

The players on both sides are in their respective positions, and the Grizzlies' lineup is indeed very reasonable. The starting five are Harden, Tony Allen, Prince and the Black and White Bears.

Both offensive and defensive.

After the referee's whistle blew, Gasol won the first offensive ball for the Grizzlies.

The perverted back-to-back-to-back games have officially begun!

As soon as Harden came up, he was ready to play Junzi Lei in singles. He saw the bearded guy dribbling the ball continuously at the three-point line to find rhythm, and then suddenly accelerated and passed Junzi Lei.

Harden's first step speed is not actually top-notch, but he has an excellent sense of rhythm on the offensive end and can always seize the moment when the opponent's center of gravity shakes to launch an attack.

The experienced Ray Allen failed to react the first time, and it would be too difficult to catch up later.
