Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 25 The Grizzly Bear Roars?The offense has become even stronger in the new season!
At 7 p.m., the two teams announced their starting lineups.

Grizzlies: Stoudemire, Mike Miller, Ariza, Swift, Gasol.

Kings: Mike Bibby, Salmons, Martin, Kenny Thomas, Brad Miller.

"Master Tactician" Adelman led the Kings to a record of 44 wins and 38 losses last season, ranking eighth in the West, and was eliminated by the Spurs 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs.

Adelman was dismissed by the team management this summer, and the king's current coach is Eric Musselman, a "rookie" with two years of coaching experience, with a career winning percentage of less than 50%.

Musselman will not play the gorgeous Princeton. He is good at arranging defense, and the offensive end depends on the players to use their personal ability to solve problems.

After Adelman got out of class, Kevin Martin, who broke away from the shackles of Princeton, entered the peak of his career this season.

场均出场35.2分钟，得到20.2分4.3篮板2.2助攻和1.2次抢断，投篮命中率47.3%还算高效。

Martin has never been selected to the All-Star team in his career, but he has averaged more than 6 points per game in 20 seasons.

At his peak, he was at the same level as Rudy Gay. He belonged to the top players under the All-Stars.

After the start of the game, Martin played mediocre tonight, being stalked by Ariza and unable to score.

Several strong shots against the defense all went out of the frame, and they could only break through to attract double-teams and pass the ball to teammates.

Lu Yong knew very well that the reason why Martin couldn't be the leader of the team was that his offensive ability was too weak. Once he was close to the defensive end, he would play more uncomfortable.

Regardless of the average 7.1 free throws per game, most of them are obtained by misplaced inside players.

One-on-one singles is not his strong point, he is better at being the second master to provide firepower.

Ariza's main role in staying on the court is to defend, and the second is to hit those open three-pointers.

He didn't need to conserve energy to play the game, and the mad dog-like entanglement disgusted Martin for more than 9 minutes before he was replaced for a rest.

Eddie Jones with an annual salary of 1486 million is still sitting on the Grizzlies bench. Ariza cannot play for too long, otherwise the money given to Jones by the management will be wasted.

This product is now positioned like the player Chandler Parsons signed by the Grizzlies in later generations, with the same high salary and low ability, and the same salary explosion.

The only difference is that Eddie Jones still has a lot of fuel in the fuel tank to burn, while Chandler Parsons doesn't play a game, and just sits and gets the money.

Throughout Parsons' entire career, it's almost like his name, the money got-what's the matter?
The Grizzlies' offense in the first quarter was not good. Stoudemire was blocked by Kenny Thomas when he broke into the paint several times, and his scoring conversion rate was low.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' defensive level is excellent. With Pau Gasol's turnaround jumper and Swift's athletic ability, they still maintain a weak lead.

Swift returned to the Grizzlies this summer, which means a second spring in Lu Yong's offensive system.

He is ridiculously mobile as a power forward, and he doesn't suffer from his height. As long as he doesn't meet a star, he is full of energy and passion on the court.

After the first quarter, 22 to 21, the Grizzlies led by 1 points.

In the second quarter, the two teams replaced the substitutes, and the Grizzlies immediately took the initiative.

The Kings have only three players scoring in double figures this season. Except for the scarred veteran Abdur-Rahim who can barely play on the bench, the others are at most just making up the numbers and their strength is average.

Abdur-Rahim is good offensively, but useless defensively.

Multiple injuries to both knees have slowed down his lateral speed, he can't keep up with the outside line, and he can't stand up to the inside line in confrontation. It's a bit embarrassing to stay in the NBA.

In fact, this year is indeed Abdul-Rahim's last full season in the NBA.

07-08赛季他一共只为国王出战6场比赛就宣布退役，场均1.7分1.7篮板，生涯暮年被伤病毁掉。

Eddie Jones scored 5 points in a row relying on tactics in the second quarter, and hit a long-range three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Warrick also had a wonderful performance of two-handed dunks in a fast-break counterattack. One of them also dunked Kings backup forward Collis Williams, showing his athletic ability to the extreme.

Unfortunately, Fratello's reluctance to reuse rookies still hasn't changed.

I would rather let Deng Tai-Jones play for half a quarter than Rudy Gay, the No. 8 pick in the first round with better talent.

Otherwise, Gay's ball-holding singles ability will blow up the King's striker very easily, and he can win the game when playing against each other.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and watched the game expressionlessly, but he sighed in his heart.

Fratello attaches great importance to defense and veterans. This kind of employment cannot be said to be wrong, but seeing that he insists on sticking to his own rotation at the expense of more talented players, Lu Yong still feels for Lowry and others. sorrow.

It is really a crime to have such a head coach in the rookie season. Even if Allen Iverson is here, if the defensive level is not good, he has to sit down for me
Lu Yong, who pays attention to offense, sees Fratello's employment as a kind of suffering, and it also strengthens his heart to be the head coach in the future.

Relying on the advantage of overall strength, the Grizzlies firmly controlled the situation in the second half, leading the Kings by 12 points at the end of the third quarter.

In the last quarter, Mike Miller took a rest for a while.

Eddie Jones provided fire support very well, and teamed up with Gasol to play an 8-0 climax, widening the point difference to 2 points, and the game entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

The king still lags behind by a large score, and it is still the same style of play, looking for stars to use their personal abilities to play singles.

It wasn't until there were more than two minutes before the end that Kevin Martin, who scored 8 points in garbage time, walked off the court with a face of indifference.

It is impossible for the Kings to make it to the playoffs this year. As the boss, he just wants to collect statistics.

After the rookie contract expires, ask the management for a big contract.

106 to 90, the Grizzlies beat the Kings by 16 points at home and won two consecutive victories in the opening game.

迈克米勒17分3篮板1助攻，投中4个三分球，命中率再次超过了50%。

Paul Gasol clocked out of get off work in three quarters, made 11 of 6 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. The statistics are not amazing, but the efficiency is good.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire was capped many times in the first half. After returning from the third quarter, he felt warmer. He made 13 of 6 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points and 2 rebounds. 4 assists.

Terrence Kinsey, who was entrusted with important tasks by the management during the offseason, performed mediocre in two consecutive games.

His inaccurate shooting flaws were infinitely magnified in the offensive system. He played 18 minutes tonight, made 7 of 3 shots, and only scored 6 points and 3 rebounds.

Memphis commentator Lenny Werners shouted excitedly after the game: "The Grizzlies have become stronger in the new season. They used offense to beat their opponents in two consecutive games and scored more than 100 points. This is the real reality. Grizzly roars!"
