Vol 4 Chapter 1185: Fate against the trend, the last chance not willing to lose...

Oden and Gasol's height and stature are as conspicuous as two giant towers in the Seattle Supersonics three-point line.
Antetokounmpo is actually not short, and the muscles on his body are quite predictable, but comparing him with Oden and Gasol, Antetokounmpo still looks a little thin.
Of course, the same is true for Durant.
This kind of high-altitude play really has no way to get the Seattle SuperSonics on the court.
For Gasol, a man-to-man defense like the Seattle Supersonics, coupled with the height of the Supersonic defenders, has no obstruction or obstruction to his passing.
His pass can be perfectly delivered to Oden's hands from any angle and in any way.
Similarly, no player in the Seattle SuperSonics can block Oden from holding the ball one-on-one.
As for Oden, he has grown into a rim behemoth in seven years in the NBA. Even if he is not as dominant as O'Neal and Yao Ming, he is definitely one of the most suitable players in the entire NBA history to be a combination of O'Neal and Yao Ming.
He has O'Neill-style power play and Yao Ming's technical play.
This is also the reason why Antetokounmpo wanted to go around Oden like Yao Ming just now and finally failed, because in addition to strength and skill, he has physical talent and athletic ability.
This is why, when the Seattle SuperSonics are constantly advancing this season, many people feel that the Grizzlies, a team that should have been a little aging and declining, is the most likely reason to become the supersonic finisher.
Oden's current play style and style are too suitable for being a small ball terminator.
In last year's playoffs, the Warriors, who finally reached the finals with 80 wins and 2 losses, were driven to a desperate situation by Oden with a group of elderly stars. In the end, they defeated Oden and the Grizzlies 4-3.
Although Oden failed to reverse the NBA's small ball trend in the playoffs last season.
But the praise received is very, very much.
It is precisely because of last season's playoffs and the Warriors game that Oden has become the NBA's No. 1 center so logically this season.
Therefore, after the Seattle SuperSonics' first defense was penetrated by Oden and Grizzlies, even the old Nelson on the bench was a little surprised and frowned.
You know, he never showed such an expression when he was playing the Warriors.
Of course, compared with old Nelson's current surprise and frown.
The Grizzlies fans at the scene and the many spectators in front of the TV were completely different at this time.
The audience at the scene was certainly excited.
Oden's past few years with the Grizzlies, it can be said that he has become the well-deserved first person of the Grizzlies, just like James, who did not run away from the Cavaliers.
"Beat the Supersonics and win the MVP!"
There is no doubt that the Grizzlies' opening offense gave them a chance to achieve this goal in this game.
In front of the TV, the expressions on the faces of Kobe, James and others are somewhat complicated.
Both of course want to be the first to beat the Seattle SuperSonics.
However, it is not unwilling to see the failure of the Seattle Supersonics and Yesh.
To be honest, Oden and the Grizzlies really surprised them by this start.
The Seattle SuperSonics’ defense failed for the first time. In accordance with the Seattle SuperSonics’ past style, after being dunked by Oden, while Oden was still at the basket, he must make a quick baseline shot and a quick break. .
It doesn't matter if the defense can't be defended, it's better than a race to see who has the best running ability.
But the Seattle SuperSonics' first offense didn't start with a fast break with a quick baseline.
Because when Antetokounmpo, who was driven by Oden, wanted to make a quick baseline kick, McGrady, Carter and Battier, who had been standing outside the three-point line before, had all retreated to the Seattle SuperSonics. Near the center line!
The Grizzlies did not give the Seattle SuperSonics any chance to counterattack fast.
The audience on the scene and the audience in front of the TV showed surprise expressions on their faces after seeing the large-screen and TV replays.
In fact, even the two live commentators of Barkley and Kenny Smith showed surprise on their faces after watching the replay of the Grizzlies attack.
"In this offense by the Grizzlies, after passing the ball into Gasol's hands, McGrady and Carter Battier stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, standing forty-five degrees on the left and right sides, and did not make it to the three-point line at all. Participating in the attack in one step, there is no movement, and there is no intention to go to the bottom line to widen more space for Oden and Gasol. In addition to being a three-point shooter on the outside, the three are always preparing to retreat! "
"When Gasol made sure to pass the ball to Oden, the three of them didn't even contain it, and they retired directly!"
Seeing Gasol throwing the ball towards Oden, which was played back on the big screen at the scene, Carter, McGrady, and Battier retreated very tacitly. Kenny Smith and Barkley were really shocked.
"The Grizzlies believe that Gasol and Oden can solve the Supersonic offense and this defense!"
"Moreover, this offense and defense were completed quickly!"
You know, when they retreat, the players defending them from the outside will retreat to double-team Oden or Gasol. If the Grizzlies’ offense is not so fast, they will directly let Oden and Gasol play twice. Five retreat is cheating.
But in the end it proved that their choice was not wrong.
Oden and Gasol did complete the offense quickly.
There is not even a chance to double-team SuperSonic peripheral players.
"The dual inside combination of Oden and Gasol is too great for the Supersonics' five small advantages!"
In the end, the choice of the three Grizzlies outside players not only did not cheat, but also directly killed the Seattle SuperSonics fast break invisible!
Therefore, after returning to the defense on the scene, almost all the cameras on the scene were aimed at the Grizzlies coach Hollins who was standing on the sidelines in front of the Grizzlies substitute.
Obviously, this attack is definitely premeditated!
Hollins certainly felt it when the camera suddenly focused on the scene, but there was still no expression on his face.
This is his sixth consecutive season coaching the Grizzlies. It can be said that he has accompanied the Grizzlies from the original peak to the old age.
He knew very well that there were not many opportunities left for him.
Since he accepted the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have been the representative of the league's big men's team.
These years have passed, what has become of this continual collapse of the league's biggest team.
The supersonic succeeded, the Mavericks succeeded, the Warriors succeeded, the Cavaliers succeeded, and the Grizzlies continue to fail.
He knows very well that now it is difficult for him to win the Grizzlies with a'big', the trend has passed.
This season's game against the Seattle SuperSonics is his only chance to go against the current.
In the game against the Sonics, he needs to take out everything he has in the Grizzlies these years.
If this opportunity is not grasped, the Grizzlies will rebuild and he will leave, while Oden, the wizard among the ‘big guys’, will be forced to change his style of play and slowly change to a ‘small’.
Isn't it a cruel and cruel thing to force O'Neal to run?
If it can be successful, how can O'Neill be willing to change himself to run like a small man?
Of course, Oden does not have the dominance of O'Neal.
But he knows that Oden also has the desire to succeed like O'Neal. If something really cannot be done in the end, he will also force himself to make changes.
So, this time, it was not only Oden's counter-current, but also his and the Grizzlies' counter-trend!
This is a game that neither he nor the Grizzlies are willing to lose!
Without the chance of a fast break, the Seattle SuperSonics can only force a positional battle with the Grizzlies.
However, although the Grizzlies' defensive strategy slowed down the Seattle SuperSonics' offensive speed.
But positional offense, the Seattle Supersonics are really not the defense that fears the Grizzlies.
Not to mention McGrady, Carter and Battier, Gasol is a defensive loophole that the Grizzlies can never solve.
If it is a big defense, Gasol is certainly not a defensive loophole.
But all five of the Seattle SuperSonics are so-called small players.
Antetokounmpo took Oden directly to the basket after halftime.
In the face of the Seattle SuperSonics Leonard, Yers, Durant and James Harden who stood outside in the lap, Gasol must choose a defense.
In the end, Gasol chose James Harden, who looked relatively ‘best to bully’ among the four.
Whoever Gasol defends, the Supersonics will let him play. After James Harden received Durant's pass, a homeopathic change and breakthrough directly made Gasol clean.
Gasol’s defense has worked very hard. After being passed by James Harden, he immediately turned and chased him, but when he chased into the free throw line, he saw James Harden hit the defending Oden. It stopped, and then James Harden's basketball was like a magic trick, thrown from Oden's armpit to Antetokounmpo, who was already rounding the basket.
The same air relay!
The same momentum sinks!
Although Oden had turned around and swooped very hard, he still took a bit slower.
2 to 2!
Although it was a different process, the Seattle SuperSonics got the same score in the same way.
Of course, for the Grizzlies’ first offense, it was Oden that was amazing, and this time the Supersonic offense was definitely not the amazing dunk Antetokounmpo.
Instead, he broke through Gasol and then calmly passed the ball to James Harden of Antetokounmpo's air relay.
"James Harden has been in the Seattle SuperSonics for so many years, and he has never found his passing ability so strong!"
"You can actually brake before hitting Oden, and you can pass the ball through Oden's armpit in that braking situation!"
"Too clever, James Harden's offense is too clever this time. Oden is no longer as reckless as he was when he was a rookie, but he was still duped by James Harden's offense!"
This time Oden was indeed cheated by James Harden.
James Harden rushed so fast, Oden wanted to make James Harden hit people with the ball.
Even if the dribbling fails and James Harden rushes so hard, he can't pass the ball and can only bite the bullet and face him.
However, Oden really never expected that James Harden could brake in that situation. His body was too sensitive!
Similarly, in that case, he can pass the ball from his armpit with low hands, and pass so accurately!
James Harden fed Antetokounmpo's pie this time really comfortably.
It was stuffed directly into the mouth.
Watching Antetokounmpo high-five James Harden after dunking, Durant frowned.
In the past three years, he has not seen James Harden pass to him so comfortable.
Durant's brows frowned even more at the thought of the pot ball he received from James Harden in the past three years.
However, thinking of James Harden's purpose for doing this, the frown on Durant's face also stretched out, and the coldness and calmness on his face once again returned.
Although it was pitted for three years.
But still like-minded comrades.
Everyone's goals are still the same.
Looking back, the Memphis Grizzlies continued their offense. This time the Seattle SuperSonics obviously paid more attention to the movements of Gasol and Oden.
Durant, who had previously defended in front of his idol Carter, returned to the inside this time and appeared in front of Gasol.
No matter whether he can block Gasol's pass, at least he can block his line of sight and block part of the passing route. This is also better for Antetokounmpo's defense.
In addition to Durant's defense in front of Gasol, Leonard, Yesh and James Harden obviously also recovered deeper ~ EbookFREE.me~ As long as it caused any hesitation in Gasol's pass, Or any hesitation on Oden's offense, Leonard and Yes or James Harden outside will directly jump back and intercept the ball.
The Seattle SuperSonics' five minor defenses are invincible in terms of defensive mobility!
In fact, Durant’s change of defense coupled with Supersonic’s defensive recovery seems to have really caused Gasol’s hesitation in passing the ball. It seems that he has not found a passing route for Oden to attack directly, as long as Oden does not attack directly. Opportunity, even if it was just sitting and fighting, with the help of supersonic defense, Oden couldn't sit and fight Antetokounmpo.
Therefore, after seeing Gasol hesitate, the clever James Harden immediately released Battier in front of him, and then rushed directly to Gasol.
However, James Harden was halfway through, and the temperament of Gasol, who seemed hesitant just now, changed instantly.
"Oops, fooled!"
It was too late when James Harden realized he was fooled.
Fortunately, he turned his head abruptly, and saw that Ye Si was leaping towards Battier, and he was a little relieved.
still have a chance!
just……
Gasol's pass was not passed to Battier, the object of the pass was Carter.
"He had already predicted it!"
Gasol, the player, James Harden was stunned!
Brush!
5 to 2!
Carter hit a three-pointer!
Gasol, who became the focus just like James Harden, raised his right hand high and greeted the cheers of the fans.
He also knew that all of them knew that except for Oden, their opportunities were also not many!
