Chapter 95

After two consecutive home and away games with the Rockets, the Grizzlies finally ushered in a long lost day off. They will simply rest for a day and then meet the Indiana Pacers, the last pre-season opponent at home.

Now the Grizzlies have achieved a good record of 5-2 in the preseason. In the outside world, after Gasol came back, and joined the European new aid Navarro, selected Conley, and after the bold introduction of Asian talent youth peak, the Grizzlies' lineup is running in well and has excellent offensive ability. In these seven games, the Grizzlies only have the first game against Uni Kaha's score did not break 100, which in the entire league attack firepower can be shot to the top three.

But the Grizzlies in the offensive ability of the case, the defensive ability is the most worthy of criticism, the seven game loss can also reach 99 points, which is also in the League all teams in the front.

Attack strong defense weak, this is the outside world for this grizzly bear team's common understanding.

ESPN analysis of the reasons, the offensive firepower mainly comes from the outside line, in so many outside lines, Jifeng, guy, Lori, Conley, Mike Miller, Navarro, Damon, stadimer, are all full of offensive players, strong attack and weak defense. In addition to Jifeng because of his super first-class snatching strength, other people's defensive ability is very general.

And the interior defense is also a mess. Gasol's playing method is flexible, and he can't carry the inside line like Yao, while Milicic's movement is too slow and his sense of position is not good, and the rest are like swift. This muscular man who can only run and jump crazily is a natural loophole in the defense end.

But ESPN also sucks the Grizzlies a lot. They think that the Grizzlies can make up for their lack of defensive strength by using the powerful offensive firepower, and they are optimistic about the future of the Grizzlies in the new season.

"I'm going to milk us like this." Jifeng saw the ESPN report after a very toothache, he knew when he was in China, ESPN is famous for poison milk, the team he is optimistic about will always be eliminated because of various accidents.

After several times of ESPN's poisonous milk, the teams favored by ESPN can only shiver in the corner, for fear that people sitting at home will come from the sky.

However, many media believe that the Grizzlies in this configuration should be a playoff team as long as they are properly used.

When there are some people who oppose it, Su Qun, a famous basketball commentator in China, worries about the weakness of the Grizzlies' defense strength in his basketball column. He says frankly, defense wins the championship, and teams that only rely on attack and ignore defense will not go far in the playoffs.

But now the fans who like Jifeng are jubilant, hoping that the Grizzlies will enter the playoffs, and even hope that the Grizzlies can meet the Rockets in the playoffs, and even in the Western Conference finals.

The Grizzlies team, there is such an over optimistic atmosphere, coach mark recently is also complacent, the boss expressed his trust in him, has been making a move Gasol has not mentioned for a while, this makes mark think this season may be the Grizzlies' opportunity.

But Ji Feng always felt that they did not meet a real strong team, the opening game against the defending champion spurs, Jifeng think this is the real test.

But even Ji Feng did not expect that the attack came so fast!

It's time for the Grizzlies to face the eastern Pacers on October 27. In previous games, the Grizzlies were undertakers. Today, after several games, the Grizzlies are regarded as the best opportunity for revenge.

Because the Pacers had a poor record after winning over the Grizzlies and had lost three times in a row. They had not recovered since the Auburn palace incident. Then, with Miller's retirement, O'Neal Jr. lived up to his courage, Artest left the team, and the bloody pacer fell apart. It can only be maintained by Mike Dunleavy, but it turns out that Dunleavy has no ability to lead the walker out of the mire.

Today's walkers are also strong contenders for the bottom of the League every year.

And now the man in charge is Daniel Granger, a small forward with good potential. The walker also pinned his hopes on him.

Before the game, the Grizzlies were full of confidence, and the attendance rate of the stadium was close to 100%. The Grizzlies sent out the strongest lineup in Mark's mind.

They are center forward milisic, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward guy, shooting guard Mike Miller and point guard Lori.

And before the outstanding season Feng returns to the bench again, mark is now the season peak as the sixth person to use, and the starting, he still thinks guy can deal with most of the opponent.

Pacers, on the other hand, sent their strongest lineup, center Harrison, a league Ranger, power forward Diogu, later CBA star, small forward Daniel Granger, point guard Karim rush, point guard Jamal Tinsley.

The Grizzlies made a lot of noise in the auditorium, while mark was in the dressing room to stress that they wanted to win the game and start the new season well.

Before the game, the media did not focus on the game, they think as long as normal play, the Grizzlies should be able to win.

But this is the NBA, no team is soft persimmon, in the case of carelessness, the league's first is likely to capsize, despised Pacers, this game broke out a strong desire to win. Come up and beat the Grizzlies!"Oh! Daniel Granger grabs the ball from guy's hand, and he strides forward! Smash ESPN explains the frenzied shout: "in the first round, the Pacers showed their strong desire to win! Guy didn't expect Granger's defense to be so aggressive. He wasn't ready. He didn't seem to wake up. That's not good

In the first round, Granger used aggressive defense to force guy to make mistakes and make a smash.

This made the grizzly bear audience very angry, broke out a huge hiss.

However, the walkers were not frightened but stimulated by the boos. After that, they broke out with exaggerated combat effectiveness.

Just four minutes into the opening game, they played a 15-4 attack, in which Daniel Granger made 4-for-4 shots and got 8 points, which left the Grizzlies in silence at home.

After that, mark transferred his troops and replaced Ji Feng. Navarro and Conley strengthened their attack. Ji Feng finished a brilliant steal and assisted Conley to hit the three-point goal. After that, he scored again and again, but the walkers were crazy.

Inside diogur carries Gasol to finish the one handed smash! Gasol buckled a disgrace, then Granger unreasonable direct three-point shot, hit again!

At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers are 43-25, 18 points ahead!

"It's over." It's better to be outspoken.

also felt the same feeling. He got the best of the first quarter, he got 8 points, two assists and he broke Grainger, but his teammates really didn't suck up.

In the second quarter, mark still wanted to struggle. Guy took the place of Ji Feng again, which made Gasol on the court very puzzled and made Jifeng feel very painful. After playing, he still played iron, and other teammates were not much better. The basket of FedEx stadium seemed to cover his team, but he couldn't get in.

In this drive, the grizzly bear was defeated like a mountain. In the second quarter, 42-22, after two quarters, the Grizzlies were nearly 40 points behind, and the game was declared a failure ahead of time, entering garbage time.

Jifeng in the third quarter with a group of substitutes to pursue points, but the hole is really too big. Then Ji Feng also sat back on the bench.

143-103, grizzlies beat the Pacers 40 at home!
