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

Chapter 33 Passionate confrontation!The main thing is to attack!Full of firepower!

On the evening of the 8th, the Grizzlies' home court was still full, and the league's first record attracted a large number of Memphis fans to watch the game.

During the warm-up, Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and told Lowry and Gay again, telling them not to be under pressure, and strive to perform amazingly in front of the home fans.

The Raptors played well at the beginning of the new season, with a record of 11 wins and 5 losses, and are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

当家球星是03年首轮4号秀克里斯-波什，场均22.6分10.7篮板2.6助攻和1.3次封盖，表现丝毫不逊色保罗-加索尔。

In addition, the Raptors also have the No. 25.1 pick in this year's draft, Bargnani, who averaged 11.6 minutes per game, 4 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and [-] blocks.

The shooting percentage is 42.7%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 37.3. He is an insider whose template is "Nuo Tianwang".

In addition, TJ-Ford, who was once compared with Iverson by the media, is 1 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms. He has the fastest starting speed in the first step. This year, he averaged 79 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Not bad, he is the main point guard for the Raptors who can play the third record in the Eastern Conference.

Ford in college can be described as talented, beautiful, and full of honors.He was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks at No. 2003 in the first round of the 1 NBA Draft. He is known as one of the fastest players in the NBA. However, congenital injuries ruined his career. His speed is too fast. Get hurt often.

In Lu Yong's previous life, TJ-Ford was a miserable person. Poor Ford suffered from congenital cervical stenosis, which would cause abnormal contact between the spinal cord and the cervical spine.

This contact can cause compression of the spinal cord, leading to loss of sensation in some cases.Especially at the extremities of the limbs, if the compression is too severe, the spinal cord will be severed and paralyzed.

In the 03-04 season, TJ-Ford was fouled by "Mad Dog" Mark Madsen from the air in the game between the Bucks and the Timberwolves, which caused severe contusion of his neck and spinal cord. The direct consequence was that Ford spent more than a year of paid long vacation.

Although he underwent spinal correction surgery, and the doctor assured that there will be no problems in the future, every team with Ford must be very vigilant about his body, not only the spine, but also the spinal surgery psychological shadow on him.

Fortunately, he was remembered by a large number of fans after his career was only eight years old, because he was one of the few guards in the league who could blow up Iverson with speed.

At 7 p.m., the two teams announced their starting lineups.

Grizzlies: Lowry, Mike Miller, Ariza, Gay, Gasol.

Raptors: Ford, Anthony Parker, Garbajosa, Bosh, Nesterovic.

It would be a lie for Lu Yong to sit off the court and say that he is not nervous. Gay will face the All-Star "Dragon King" Bosh in the first game of his career. I really don't know if today is his lucky day or the "community death anniversary".

Bosh was just selected as a substitute for the Eastern Conference All-Star last season, and he is very popular in the league.This season, Bosh's statistics have improved, and his team record is also very good. He is expected to become the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star, and his strength is more than two blocks away from Rudy Gay, a rookie.

Fratello sat aside and didn't know what to do. At this time, he could only choose to trust the players and hoped that this new starting lineup would not disappoint him.

At the power forward position, no one in the Grizzlies could stop Bosh, even Swift on the bench couldn't stop him, and within two quarters he had to be beaten to six fouls.

Unless Paul Gasol is allowed to match up with Bosh, Gasol's offensive and defensive pressure will be too great, which is not what Fratello wants to see.

Originally Fratello wanted Swift to start against Bosh, but Lu Yong still insisted on using Gay.

After pondering for a moment, Fratello still compromised.

He will be scolded for losing the game in the province, and it will still be the double ridicule of the fans and the teaching assistants.

Before the game, he turned his head to look at Lu Yong, and whispered: "Lu, do you think this lineup can win the Raptors? Are you sure you won't be bombarded by Chris Bosh for 40 points?"

"It's not a big problem to play normally and win the Raptors. Bosh weighs only 107 kilograms as a power forward. Gay is not at a disadvantage in terms of strength, just interfere with shooting. Ariza is on the outside to help defend, and Gasol is in the penalty area. Reece Bosh can't make any waves tonight." Lu Yong said calmly.

"But the difference in height between the two is 8 centimeters. I always feel that this pairing is not very reliable." Fratello sighed.

Not only is it unreliable, but if Lu Yong had no way to ask for it, and other assistants dared to make such a suggestion, Fratello would have made people pack up and leave.

"Don't think so pessimistically. Rodman also suffered a serious loss in height when he faced Malone in the finals, but he still completed the defensive task very well. Our main focus tonight is offense, not defense to win."

Fratello sighed softly. "I hope it's as you said."

The Raptors won by jumping the ball to Ford.

Ford broke through after hitting the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, went left to attract double-teams, and gave the ball to Garbajosa outside the three-point line.

The latter had a chance to catch the ball in a half-open position, facing Ariza's defense and shooting wide of the basket, the rebound was protected by Gasol.

Ariza's lateral movement is very fast, assisting Ford to vacate Garbajosa, but when he raised his hand to shoot, he rushed back with all his strength, and the defense's sharp knife attributes were full.

Lu Yong knows very well that the most powerful part of this lineup is mobility. If the Raptors don't get into the basket and float outside to shoot, the Grizzlies' defense will be very comfortable tonight.

The Grizzlies attack, and Gasol supports the high position with the ball at the top of the arc.

Rudy Gay on the weak side came out and was followed by Bosh. He stood in place with a backhand and made an off-ball screen for Mike Miller behind him.

Gasol passed the ball at the right time, and Mike Miller ran to the right 45 degrees to catch and throw the ball, and the shot was very fast.

Parker was blocked by a screen and was slow to chase, and Mike Miller made a three-pointer without interference, whoosh!The basketball is hollow into the net! 3 to 0.

The Raptors attacked. In this round, Chris Bosh received the ball from the horns and faced Rudy Gay with three threatening singles.

Fake feint is invalid, Bosh to the inside holding the ball forcefully, left-handed layup under the interference of Gay and Gasol two layup missed.

"Small Steel Cannon" Lowry shrank the penalty area and picked up a rebound in the backcourt. He quickly counterattacked and found Miller, who was riding the dust.boom! 5 to 0.

"Good job!" Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and applauded. This attack and defense perfectly played out his own advantages.

The performance of the players after the opening game convinced Lu Yong that the Raptors must make adjustments to their defense, otherwise there will be one more player awarded the "Dragon Slaying Warrior" badge tonight.

In the next round, the Raptors will focus on Bosh.

He singled out Gay in the middle distance, but he had a height advantage but couldn't hit him. He faked a turnaround jumper and hit the iron. The rebound was grabbed by Pau Gasol.

Lu Yong was not surprised by the scene in front of him. Gay's height of 2 meters seems short for a power forward, but in the small ball era 03 years later, he is the standard height, and even occasionally playing as a center is no problem.

And when he played for the Spurs later, he even defended Nikola Jokic under the basket for 19 years, with the blood of a tough guy flowing in his bones.

Don't look at Bosh nicknamed "Dragon King", in fact, he is very soft on the offensive end, and his main scoring method is jump shots.

His strength lies in his stability and persistence. He has a stable number of mid-range jumpers, and his scoring data has been stable at around 20 points all year round. He rarely shows hip pull.

Bosh is very similar to Antawn Jamison. Anyone can score one-on-one, but the other way around, it's not easy to score against anyone.

After a few rounds, Gay, who gradually adapted to the game, began to exert strength.

Holding the ball at the top of the arc, Bosh scored a layup one-on-one, and also caused a defensive foul by Nesterovic, who was defending on the weak side, and used a 2+1 goal to show confidence.

The Grizzlies blasted a 3-12 climax in just over 2 minutes, forcing Raptors coach Sam Mitchell to request a timeout.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Sam Mitchell replaced the No. [-] pick Bargnani, allowing Chris Bosh to go directly to the center position to face Pau Gasol.

This adjustment works well. The Raptors not only have faster defensive speed, but also slightly improved their offensive firepower.

However, the Raptors still couldn't defend against the Grizzlies' outside shots. Mike Miller teamed up with Lowry to score three-pointers many times, and the offense was full of firepower.

36 to 29, the two teams faced each other passionately in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies led by 7 points at home.
