One Thousand and Ninety-Eight: The Eye-Catching Championship Banner
Zaza Pachulia, as her name suggests, is really a scumbag.
As a second-round pick in 2003, under the star-studded "Super Platinum Generation", Pachulia has been tepid in the first few years of his career.
It wasn't until Pachulia joined the Hawks in 2005 that he became truly well-known to fans.
That season, Pachulia averaged career-highs of 11.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
Of course, compared to the rapid improvement of data. What really makes Pachulia famous is his wild moves that have appeared since the Eagles!
Hugs, elbows, slaps, kicks... Pachulia basically used every hurtful move you can think of.
If you think he's just a big white guy who's easy to bully, you're wrong.
After joining the championship team of the Warriors, this is the first time Pachulia has faced so much attention. And some of his bad behavior on the court spread wider because of this.
Now, the whole world knows that Pachulia is an out-and-out villain. The Warriors inside line formed by him and Green is simply a large meat grinder.
At this juncture, when everyone is turning toward the Grizzlies, Pachulia may feel that he should stand up and say something.
Little did he know that the first person he hurt was his teammates.
When Green and Durant saw Pachulia on the training ground the next day, their eyes were full of resentment.
But since Pachulia was speaking for the team, it was hard for them to say anything.
But if Link is really angered... no one will get anything good from the game tonight.
After Pachulia spoke, Link was completely drowned in the fans' saliva before he even needed to take action.
No matter which team you are a fan of, everyone definitely doesn’t like players who play dirty.
Although competitive sports are confrontational sports, the confrontation with real swords and guns is also the greatest charm of this type of sports.
But intentionally hurting and confrontational are completely different things.
Let alone basketball, it is very shameful to hurt your opponent in a way other than the rules even in a fighting game.
A "butcher" like Pachulia is completely unable to win the respect of fans, so as soon as he spoke, the comment section of social media exploded.
Link looked at Pachulia being scolded. The guy didn't seem very smart.
It was obviously meant to spray Link with the animation, but now it was better, but instead it set him on fire.
But having said that, Pachulia is indeed the Warriors' "number one dangerous man."
To some extent, he may be more dangerous than Green.
Pachulia's killing moves were all executed by Ben.
So before the start of today's game, in the visiting team's locker room, Link specially projected Pachulia's highlights on the screen for everyone to see.
As for what the collection is, of course it is a collection that maliciously hurts people.
Not every player in the NBA can cut out such a highlight reel. This shows how fierce Pachulia is.
"Be careful with him, Georgia's manpower is very dark. The last time we played against the Warriors, Pachulia was absent due to injury. So, today's game may be very different. But as long as we can maintain the level, the victory will definitely belong to us. Yes, come on!"
Link reminded the players before the game, especially now that the Grizzlies still have four very important young people who are not experienced in the world.
Soon after, players from both sides came out to warm up. Whether the Grizzlies can regroup after two consecutive losses in Los Angeles depends on this game.
※※※
When seeing the two tall men Jokic and Gasol, Steve and Cole couldn't help but feel a twinge in their hearts.
The last time the two sides played against each other, the scene where the Warriors were beaten by the Grizzlies Twin Towers is still fresh in Cole's memory.
Although the Warriors' offensive firepower can somewhat make up for their lack of strength inside, this shortcoming has not been truly resolved.
They just use another advantage to make up for the loss caused by this shortcoming.
Of the five games the Warriors have lost so far, except for the upset loss to the Lakers, the other four have basically suffered in the paint.
In the loss to the Spurs, the Warriors allowed Aldridge to score 26 points and 12 rebounds with a super high shooting rate of 61.1%. In terms of total rebounds, the Warriors lost a full 20!
When losing to the Rockets and Cavaliers, the inside players of both teams also performed well.
Not to mention the loss to the Grizzlies last month, the Grizzlies' European Twin Tower Warriors simply couldn't withstand it. In that game, the Warriors didn't even score 100 points, but allowed the Grizzlies to score 131 points.
It is true that today is the era of small balls, but this does not mean that big players have lost their value.
This time, Cole has decided to increase Pachulia's playing time in order to deal with the Grizzlies' twin towers.
To be precise, it is to increase the playing time of the entire starting lineup!
Durant, Thompson, Curry and Green are all scheduled to play more than 40 minutes today!
Pachulia was also scheduled to play 30 minutes today, which is almost double his average playing time of 18 minutes per game.
Kerr knows very well that doing this will make the starting five players very hard.
But there is no way to easily defeat a grizzly bear in this world.
As long as we can beat the Grizzlies, what if it's a little harder?
Although they can't play with a small lineup, as long as they can contain the advantage of the Grizzlies' twin towers, the Warriors still have a chance of winning.
What's more, the Grizzlies' inaccuracy in the last game with the exception of Link, who knows if it will be inherited today?
Cole clenched his fists. This time at home, he must win back a victory!
The game is about to start, and all the starters from both sides step onto the court.
Although there are more fans supporting the Grizzlies in this game, it is after all at the home court of the Warriors.
So the cheers were still very loud.
Link looked up at the dome of Oracle Arena before the game started. The brand new championship banner was very conspicuous.
But it’s also very eye-catching.
Yes, from now on, the plan must be put on the agenda.
After two consecutive losses in Los Angeles, it’s time to complete the transition before the plan!
After the referee threw the ball up, Gasol won the right to attack first. The Warriors naturally use Durant to face Link, while Green and Pachulia need to deal with the Grizzlies Twin Towers.
Link chose to go one-on-one with Durant, but missed the first ball due to Durant's interference.
But after the warriors attacked, the situation was not very promising.
Klay Thompson finally ran out of an open space, but was interfered by Wade who was desperately chasing after him.
The strength of veterans like Wade is always in a state of dynamic change, because players like them are not very stable as they age.
But once they encounter a key battle, they will often show considerable combat effectiveness.
Thompson didn't expect Wade to block it so quickly, and his shot was seriously interfered with.
Although the basketball didn't deviate too much, it still bounced on the rim a few times and then slipped.
These opening two rounds set the tone for this game.
After several confrontations, neither side succeeded.
The defense of both teams was very tight, the physical contact was very rough, and the smell of gunpowder was gradually getting stronger.
Why is the game between Grizzlies and Warriors so good to watch? Because their game will be upgraded to the level of playoff competition in minutes!
After two minutes of the game, the score was still 0-0!
Fans were quite surprised. This match looked like a video from the 1990s.
The Grizzlies attacked again. This time, Gasol's turnaround jumper continued to miss the target.
But Jokic grabbed the rebound first, and when Jokic landed, Pachulia and Jokic collided.
The two tall men fell to the ground one after another, and the basketball was out of control.
At this point, the two giants started fighting for the basketball on the floor.
But Gasol discovered that Pachulia took the opportunity to clamp Jokic's arm and prevent him from getting up!
Finally, after enduring it for so long, Pachulia took action!
In the end, it was Link who picked up the basketball and scored the ball in the chaos, scoring the first point of the game.
After Jokic stood up, he moved his arm. He was caught by Pachulia just now, and he felt that his arm was still somewhat pinned.
But since the referee didn't react, Jokic couldn't say much.
"Stay away from him, you idiot!" Just when Pachulia thought everything was fine, Gasol, who had just witnessed the whole process, came up and cursed.
Jokic may swallow his anger, but Gasol will not!
"What did you say I was?" Pachulia shouted at her, and their chests touched each other.
The Grizzlies players who had started to retreat ran back. The scene was very chaotic for a while, but Link remained calm and worked hard to separate the two.
In the past, it was others who pulled the impulsive Link away. But this time, as the leader, Link finally did the right thing.
In the end, the referee gave Gasol a technical foul for provoking trouble. Since it is unclear whether Pachulia's little move was intentional, there is no punishment for the time being.
Link calmed down Gasol and the game returned to normal.
However, this is just temporary normalcy.
