The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 671 The Road Trip Begins



Chapter 671 The Road Trip Begins

Almost two-thirds of the regular season schedule has progressed, and basically every team is almost ready to run in. If they haven't run in well at this juncture, then they can announce GG.Basically, teams that can sprint to the playoffs are already sprinting.

On February 2th, the Grizzlies challenged the Timberwolves in an away game. The performance of the Timberwolves this season is much more stable than that of previous seasons. At least the playoffs are no longer so hanging. Harder’s performance is still as stable as ever. He can average 18 points, 22 rebounds, and 10 assists per game this season. He is really not far from his peak.But because the Yin-Yang contract broke out ahead of schedule, the Timberwolves are even worse than the historical space.

Although this game will not affect the playoffs for the Timberwolves, it still has an impact on the ranking. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference. If they win this game, they are very likely to enter the top three. If they lose, they will definitely fall to eighth. It is so amazing, so the Timberwolves do not want to lose this game.

But the game was played, not thought out, and Hardt’s performance was still very stable, but Trier Brandon was blown away by Xiao Tian again. Hardt really hurt. When Marbury didn’t leave, the first position was not a weakness, but since Trier Brandon came, that position has really become a good place for those top point guards to collect statistics.

Rao even scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, which still couldn't change the fate of the Timberwolves' home defeat. Xiao Tian's performance in this game was 36 points, 17 assists, and 2 steals. Trier Brandon's data was 10 points, 1 assist, and the matchup assist difference was 16:1.Hardt really wanted to break off the head of this iron-headed boy, Trier Brandon, to see what was going on inside this guy.

After playing the Timberwolves, it was a four-game streak in the Eastern Conference, two of which were back-to-back games, but this road trip to the Eastern Conference was not particularly strong.

However, a lot of news in the league began to spread, such as the possibility of Wang Zhizhi being traded to the Bulls by the Spurs, and the possibility of Brand being traded to a certain team by the Kaizi side. Binson won a championship before he completely degenerated.

So we can only look for a deal, but the embarrassing thing is that those who are interested in Brand have nothing in their hands that makes the Spurs excited. Their favorite people are not particularly attracted to Wang Zhizhi, a second-year player. The space is not that big.

The targets of these trades were all looking for the Grizzlies. After all, the Grizzlies have a lot of good potential stocks, as well as a lot of draft picks. Basically, one of those picks is enough to make people drool for a long time.

The only thing that the Spurs can trade is Stackhouse, who was selected as an All-Star this season, but Popovich has no interest in this existence that is useless in other aspects except for scoring. This kind of existence that has nothing but the basket in his eyes is the worst.So Popovich ignored the Pistons, and the Pistons felt bitter. Although the opponent was selected as an All-Star, it didn't help the Pistons' record.

The Grizzlies' Eastern Conference road trip has begun. The first thing they have to face is the Wizards. Jordan has successfully entered the management team of the Wizards, and the Wizards this season have completely missed the playoffs because of too many losses in the past. Reggie Miller seems to have returned from the strike, but this strong-mouthed king seems to be in a bad mood.

Because Jordan wanted to use Reggie Miller to exchange for an unprotected first-round pick, but was ignored by other teams. If it was Reggie Miller two years ago, the team might have made a bid. Now, the market has dropped by two-thirds. In this chaotic team of the Wizards, even if Miller does his best every game, his teammates can use various methods to make him cry. Reggie Miller deeply understands the malice from these bastards. I am very happy. Although he has retired now, Reggie Miller is very unlucky, and the other party is very willing to see it.

Reggie Miller faced Reed in this game, and Reed was called his successor, because the opponent also had a good shot from the outside, which made Reggie Miller seem to have found someone to vent.

"I heard that you are my successor? Then look at how I play." Reggie Miller and Reid swayed back and forth between the counterpoints. They took off directly and then shot from the outside. Reed's defense naturally kept up, but Miller's shooting speed still did not let the opponent feel it.By the time Reed noticed it, Miller had already made a move.

Hey, such things as defensive awareness are really innate, if you just blindly defend passively, then obviously it won’t work, "I’ll come to Michael, you go and match up with that guy." What is the name of the Wizards’ No. [-] position, Xiao Tian can’t name it at all, he can only use that guy to describe it.

Reid nodded, while Paul Westphal frowned. He wondered if the Grizzlies could get off work early in this game. After all, the next game is the most important thing.

"Yo, I didn't expect you, the boss, to come out in person. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it. It's been a long time since I've had an opponent that makes my blood boil." Miller started beeping again, but Xiao Tian ignored him. When he reached the frontcourt, he saw that Miller was still beeping and raised his hand to shoot. The ball flew out of Xiao Tian's hand like a shooting star with a swipe sound. By the time Miller realized it, the ball was already in the basket.

'Your defense is still so bad, no wonder you were sold off by the team. "Xiao Tian's sarcasm followed. Xiao Tian didn't have the slightest sympathy for Reggie Miller's current situation. This guy's current situation is all his own making. It was right for Larry Brown to let him shoot less three-pointers and participate more in defense. However, Miller just listened to the first one and didn't care about the second one. But he didn't expect Larry Bird to insist on these two when he came to power, so Reggie Miller was sold. If Reggie Miller was really willing to change, then he would definitely become a Klay Thompson. After all, he is better than the opponent both off the ball and with the ball, and his defense can't be as good as the opponent's, but at least he is not as good as he is now.

Xiao Tian's counterattack made Miller tremble with anger. It's not because you are so stupid that you are so stupid. Now you still have the face to mock me. Is it really easy to bully me?

Miller decided to let Xiao Tian know how good he was, and ignored Uncle Huo in the frontcourt. He still chose to shoot. Bang, this time he was blocked by Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian's wingspan was not just for fun, but few people realized it. They were all amazed at Xiao Tian's shooting and passing, and defense has always been underestimated.His number of blocked shots is among the best among defenders.

The ball was called a foul by Xiao Tian, ​​and Miller got a free throw opportunity. He touched his aching hand. This guy's strength is really great, but the pain didn't affect Miller's free throws, and he still scored both free throws.

After being served by Xiao Tian's hot pot, Miller was a lot more honest, and the rest of the Wizards were no opponents of the Grizzlies. Uncle Huo was bullied by Duncan in the paint. The opponent was as proud of God as Duncan in the NCAA, but everything changed after entering the NBA.

In the end, the Wizards still lost to the Grizzlies at home. Although they were used to losing games, the Grizzlies didn’t stay long and came to Philadelphia directly. It would be nice to have a special plane. If it’s a chartered flight, it’s definitely not that efficient, but it’s much better than the women’s basketball girls in the WNBA who can only go to the airport to fly.

The opponent in the next game was the 76ers' previous match. Philadelphia lost, so this game is hard to say. Xiao Tian misses coming to this familiar place in Philadelphia, after all, there have been many glorious years here.

When he arrived at the hotel where he was staying in Philadelphia, Xiao Tian fell into a deep sleep. As for what the other teammates were going to do, it was out of his consideration.

But none of the Grizzlies' players went out to fool around, including Odom. This guy cherishes the current opportunity in the Grizzlies. He really wants to play his worth here, and then go to a good team to develop, such as Los Angeles and New York.Although he was traded by the Clippers, Odom still couldn't forget the feasting city of Angels.

Wells Fargo Bank Center, Xiao Tian can't remember how many times he has been here, it seems that nothing has changed here.

There is not much communication between the two sides. Iverson is not a player who likes to talk, he likes to use his strength to prove his existence.

Snow's comeback in this game can be regarded as a solution to Larry Brown's blood. In the days when Snow was not around, Iverson was both a father and a mother, which was quite exhausting. Although Snow is a role player, Philadelphia fans are very clear about his role.

Snow's role in this game is to open up space for Iverson, so as not to let Iverson and Xiao Tian face each other.This is the task Larry Brown entrusted to the opponent, and Snow is already familiar with it, because it is arranged like this every time he fights the Grizzlies.

Iverson came up to handle the ball in Philadelphia. He went to the frontcourt and threw the ball to Snow without the slightest hesitation.Xiao Tian seemed to see a ghost.Nima, what a joke, Iverson actually started playing off the ball.

Swipe, received a pass from Snow, and Iverson made a shot in the corner. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of playing off the ball didn't seem so bad.

Fuck, Reed is really just a display besides offense and defense, why can't you follow Iverson closely? Xiao Tian is very tired. He knows that these things are beyond Reed's control, but seeing Iverson get rid of it so easily still makes Xiao Tian feel a little uncomfortable.

There was no way for Xiao Tian to match up with Iverson. Iverson continued to play without the ball, but he still couldn't get rid of Xiao Tian. He started passing the ball, and Philadelphia's offensive rhythm suddenly changed.Letting Iverson pass the ball is to weaken the opponent. This is what Xiao Tian has always believed in. Iverson is a pure scorer, and he doesn't need assists at all.

And his teammates are not the kind of good scorers, they are basically muscular and sticky, without any offensive ability, so this suddenly put Philadelphia into a passive state.

Larry Brown called a timeout. It was not long before the end of the game, but the trouble Xiao Tian brought to him was still unsolvable. Philadelphia had no second strong point other than Iverson. Iverson got 10 assists, but his score was only 20 points, which was obviously unscientific.

So it had to be changed. Larry Brown made some arrangements, came back, and the game continued. Iverson faced Xiao Tian, ​​and instead of passing the ball, he started a breakthrough. At this time, Iverson’s physical fitness was still abundant. However, Xiao Tian knew a little about Iverson, so he was not too surprised. Iverson’s breakthrough, could he pass himself?With a sound of swipe, Iverson actually passed Xiao Tian with a change of direction, and the ball disappeared from Xiao Tian's front. It was just a little bit, and Xiao Tian could complete the steal.

Iverson, who broke through Xiao Tian, ​​did not continue to rush in, but chose toss. The suspense of the ball entering the game was still there. Xiao Tian didn't do so many bells and whistles. Is the brain a computer, thinking about how to target Philadelphia all the time, this feeling makes Larry Brown very uncomfortable.
