Three Hundred and Seventy-Seven: The Strength Shown for the First Time

Jamal Crawford is a nerve-knives player, and his scoring data is very good. From the 07-08 season to the 09-10 season, for three consecutive years, Crawford averaged more than 19 points per game.

If you look at scoring alone, Crawford should be one of the best scorers in the league, and it is not an exaggeration for him to earn tens of millions of annual salary. But his shooting percentage hovering around 40% every year and his not-so-good defense are the reasons why he is still not a superstar.

Crawford can score well when he draws, but he basically loses his only value if he can't draw. In the Hawks last season, Crawford averaged only 38.4% shooting. For a perimeter player, that number is disaster.

This is why Crawford only gets about 5 million a year in the Clippers, but he is still considered a contract premium. He is a scorer with distinctive features, but not a superstar. But now, De Nagro can only try with Crawford.

Crawford replaced Willie Green and faced Iguodala's defense. But once Crawford draws, even facing Tony Allen, he may have a chance of winning!

Paul hit the ball to Crawford in the first round. Crawford used the off-ball screen to get outside the three-point line and then shot the ball. He didn't care about Iguodala's defense at all.

Iguodala has actually sealed it well, but Crawford still made a three-pointer, which made the Clippers players vent their anger!

"Finally scored. The Clippers finally scored their first goal of the new season after the first timeout. But as long as they can break the scoring drought, it's not too late! I said it, Jamal Crow Ford will take the Clippers to another level. Look, when Paul, Griffin and others can't open the situation, Crawford can stand up for them!"

John Hollinger finally spoke. As the commentator of the game, he has been "dumb" for a long time. But now, he finally has a chance to speak, because the Clippers finally scored.

"Jamal Crawford attacked very resolutely, but I have to say that it was still not an opportunity just now. The Clippers still haven't solved the offensive problem. The offense just now is the same as before. The only difference is that Crow Ford made a tough shot and no one else. But the question is, can Crawford make that shot every time? We all know his offensive consistency is very worrying."

Mike Brin immediately poured cold water on Hollinger, not because he deliberately confronted Hollinger, but just telling the truth.

"Stay steady! We've done a good job, keep it up!" Seeing Crawford's goal, Stevens immediately yelled at the players off the court.

At the same time, Tony Allen was also gearing up. Later, he would really like to meet the best sixth man.

The Grizzlies' offense was as smooth as ever. This time, when Link broke through again and attracted Jordan's help defense. Link didn't look at the back pass, and sent the ball to Gasol.

Link now passes the ball to Gasol, who has been working with him for the third season, without even looking at it, not even from the corner of his eye. In his mind, Link knew exactly where each teammate stood.

After receiving the basketball, Gasol made a steady mid-range shot, which undoubtedly gave Jordan a knowing blow. 10 to 3, the point difference is still very large, and Jamal Crawford's goal seems to have no effect.

If the Grizzlies bloom more, anyone can score. For the Clippers, Paul had to send the ball to Crawford for the second time in a row.

This time, Crawford chose to break through Iguodala. His flashy dribble and quick first step make him one of the league's deadliest penetrators.

But the breakthrough isn't everything in basketball. It's a competitive sport, not a circus. Crawford's thin body has always made his finishing rate at the basket worrying.

It's okay to completely pass the opponent, but if Crawford can't completely get rid of the matchup, he will suffer a lot from the layup in the confrontation.

That's it this time,

Although Iguodala was shot, he was still clinging to Crawford with his strong body. Crawford leaned on Iguodala and tried to draw a foul. But Iguodala's movements were very clean, and the referee couldn't find a reason to blow it.

Iguodala has always been a very work ethic player, he is strong defensively but not dirty. It can even be said that I am very resistant to those dirty moves. This is similar to Tony Allen.

In Link's view, this is the real defensive champion.

In this way, after Crawford continued his high-gloss performance just now, it immediately dimmed. The second offense missed, and the Clippers continued to be in a pool of stagnant water!

The game played like this for a few minutes, and the Clippers struggled with sporadic individual offenses from Paul, Crawford and Griffin. Jordan and Caron Butler disappeared on the offensive end.

In the end, when the game hit the eighth minute, the Grizzlies had an 8-point lead over the Clippers.

Stevens also replaced Link, Iguodala, Randolph and Gasol at this point, leaving only Conley as the starting point guard on the court to stabilize the situation. After the situation stabilizes, Stevens will also replace Conley.

Watching the opponent change, Pooh Denagro became excited in an instant! Now, it's time for the Clippers to perform!

"Jamal, Blake! Take the opportunity to bombard me, we must tie the score before the end of the first quarter!" DeNagello shouted excitedly, frustrated for so long, revenge The opportunity came!

But at this time, Link, who was sitting on the bench, was calm and composed, and even joked with Randolph.

He knows that the Grizzlies' substitutes don't have to worry too much most of the time this season.

At this time, the Grizzlies lineup is Conley, Mr. Tony, Nick Young, Speights and Ezeli.

After returning from the timeout, Conley used Speights' cover to break through, and Griffin didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, Speights' shooting made too many teams suffer last season.

Without Griffin's defense, everyone thought Conley would come by himself. After all, he is the only starter on the field now.

As a result, Conley handed the ball to Nick Young, a guard who played 22 games with the Clippers last season and averaged only 9.7 points per game!

Nick Young's performance did not meet expectations last season, so the Clippers did not renew his contract. But under Stevens, Nick Young is full of energy.

He doesn't have to worry about playmaking because there's always a playmaking point on the field. He doesn't have to worry about defense either, because there are too many defensive champions around him.

In the Grizzlies, under Stevens, Nick Young could do nothing but do what he loved most -- throwing basketballs in the hoop.

Nick Young's task in the Grizzlies is much simpler than last season in the Clippers where he had to defend and compete with Bledsoe for shots and pass the ball.

Therefore, he can also focus on offense now. Therefore, Yang's running without the ball is very active, and he shoots the ball without delay.

Nick Young is such a master of chaos. He lived up to Conley's wonderful pass and gave De Nagro a head-on blow with a three-pointer!

Think the Grizzlies' second team is easy to bully? Please, it's dangerous here, go back to Mars.

Link waved the towel wildly for Nick Young's three-pointer off the court, and the atmosphere of the entire Grizzlies team was very good. Coaches and players, players and players, seem to get along very well.

After the personnel changes of the Grizzlies, the chemical reaction and the atmosphere of the locker room can be said to have not been affected at all.

Subsequently, Crawford continued to play singles. But for guard Tony Allen, who was selected to the best defensive team last season, Crawford expressed great pressure.

Crawford's fancy jiggling doesn't work for Mr. Tony at all. He just quietly watched Crawford pretending to be aggressive, but he didn't let him take a step.

As long as Crawford has the momentum to break through, Tony Allen will immediately move laterally to block.

Crawford finally chose a pull-up jumper, but unfortunately, with Tony Allen's almost light-speed defensive response, Crawford's shot hit the iron again!

"Ball, give me the ball!" As soon as Ezeli grabbed the defensive rebound, Nick Young became restless and desperately wanted the ball!

Just give the ball if you want it, no problem. In the Clippers, Nick Young played suffocatedly, but in the Grizzlies, under Stevens, you can play in the way you like best. Stevens' formation allows everyone to play to their strengths.

Last season, Tony Allen played off the bench, and the Grizzlies played well on defense in rotation time, but had no offense.

But this season the Grizzlies second team, Tony. Allen main defense, Nick. Young main attack, without delay, complement each other.

The basketball was handed over to Nick Young, a guard who liked to attack and gained great freedom in the Grizzlies. Facing Crawford, who was not very defensive, he went straight to the basket and forced a layup!

Nick Young yelled into the stands after scoring the goal, as if telling the Clippers fans, "You didn't trust me back then, okay, I'll make you regret it!"

And the Memphis Grizzlies also produced such a flamboyant offensive player in a very different way.

What was the Grizzly like before? Most people will answer you: Grizzlies calm, low-key, defensive, tough, iron-blooded!

But flamboyance and personality? These words don't seem to have anything to do with grizzlies.

But now, the arrival of Nick Young has made the style of the Grizzlies more changeable. Zhang Yang's offense and crazy firepower are now part of the Grizzlies.

"This season, you don't need to be overloaded." Seeing Nick Young score again, Stevens tilted his head and smiled at Link.

When Link gets a full rest and plays again, Stevens believes that the No. 0 will not give the Clippers any more chances.

After the 12-minute game, De Nagro looked at the score on the big screen and felt a little incredible.

28 to 18, the Los Angeles Clippers did not score 20 in the first quarter! The Grizzlies, who have always been known for their defense, scored almost 30 points in the first quarter!

Their starting lineup is impeccable. The combination of Link and Iguodala makes the Grizzlies' perimeter defense impenetrable, and the black and white bears give them an advantage inside. Mike Conley threaded the needle and controlled the tempo.

And their bench lineup is also not easy to mess with. Nick Young played crazy and enjoyable, and Speights' mid-range shot made the Clippers' defense frightened. The defense of Tony Allen and Ezeli kept the Grizzlies second team from collapsing. By the way, we can't forget Vasquez, who replaced Conley. He and Nick Young are a match made in heaven, one pass and one shot, the firepower is fast!

A terrible, greatly improved, almost all-round Memphis Grizzlies were placed in front of Los Angeles fans. The weaknesses of the Grizzlies last season were filled, and the advantages of last season were further sublimated.

The Grizzlies' strong strength this season has been demonstrated for the first time in Staples!

10 points behind the Grizzlies in a single quarter, which made Staples lifeless.

At the beginning of the second quarter, when John Hollinger saw the rested and energetic Link re-entering the field, a sense of despair surged into his heart instantly.

It is easy to write a C+ evaluation, but if you make a mistake... it will be very difficult to end.
