I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 107 Confrontation of Spear and Shield
Sun Yi found assistant coach Smart and found out the whole story.

Ellis felt some soreness in his left knee after extra practice last night and immediately contacted the team after returning.

After going for an examination this morning, the doctor's initial report was that the left knee was injured due to fatigue.

Although this injury is not as outrageous as Xiao Gongju sprained his ankle while riding a bicycle last season, it is really related to the last injury.

Because Ellis overused his left leg after he injured his right ankle last year, coupled with high-intensity training, he injured his left leg.

But when you think about it, it seems to be a bit deadly.

"Well, he didn't listen to my advice, but he doesn't care about my business!" Sun Yi murmured to himself.

Although he thought that Xiao Gongju would indeed be injured this season, Sun Yi felt that it still had something to do with him.

If he hadn't been introverted to stimulate Xiao Gongju, then such a thing would still have happened.

All we can say is that Ellis is destined to suffer such a fate.

After finding out more about it, Sun Yi stopped paying attention to the matter and devoted himself to training.

While having lunch, Sun Yi inquired about new news from assistant coach Smart.

After the MRI, Xiao Gongju's knee was only strained due to fatigue, and there was no major problem.

The recovery time given by the doctor is about two weeks, which means that Ellis will miss at least six games.

……

After lunch, Nelson Sr. had to urgently recall a tactical meeting.

He looked at the group of young people sitting below and sighed.

Ellis was injured suddenly, and the team will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

Originally, the Warriors could make some strong teams feel threatened, but without the powerful scoring point of Ellis, the Warriors' strength has dropped significantly.

Old Nelson is very tired now, and is very worried that he will suffer a losing streak in the future, and then embark on the old path of last season.

"I hope Sun and Stephen can surprise me!"

Old Nelson can only gamble on Sun Yi and Curry now.

"Everyone, be quiet. I have something important to announce."

The Warriors players fell silent after hearing this, they basically knew what happened.

"Everyone should know that Monta had a little accident and it will take two weeks to recover. In this game, Morrow will take over the starting position."

Anthony Morrow was extremely happy in his heart, and felt that he should seize this opportunity and play his own worth.

After that, Nelson Sr. began to arrange tactics.

The Warriors players found that the offensive and defensive tactics have changed, basically around Sun Yi and Curry.

As the second in charge of the team, Maggette frowned and felt that Nelson did not respect him.

Old Nelson naturally knew what some players were thinking.

"Corey, if you think there is a problem with the arrangement, you can raise it. Opportunities are earned. If you think you are capable of taking it, then I will give you a chance to perform. What do you think?"

Maggette was extremely embarrassed after hearing this. He has been proven to be highly paid and incompetent, and he cannot be reused at all.

"I have no objection to this, and I very much agree with your arrangement." Maggette replied with a forced smile.

“Since everyone has no objections, it’s been decided.”

After the old Nelson arranged the tactics, he led the players out of the locker room and went to the stadium for pre-match warm-up activities.

……

May 11, Oakland, Oracle Arena.

Tonight, the Warriors will host the Memphis Grizzlies.

Although the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies in the preseason, the Grizzlies did not send all the main lineup, and there is no reference value.

At this stage, the Grizzlies have achieved a record of 2 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the league in defensive efficiency.

The Warriors currently have a record of 1 win and 1 loss, and their offensive efficiency is second only to the Suns, ranking second in the league.

The contest between the strongest spear and the strongest shield is bound to create different sparks.

Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans, Sun Yi and other Warriors players ran out of the player tunnel one after another.

Since Ellis, the leader of the Warriors, is absent, no one pays attention to the order of appearance.

After the appearance ceremony, the list of starting players of both sides was displayed on the big screen at the scene.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Morrow, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Grizzlies starting lineup: Conley, Mayo, Gay, Randolph, Gasol Jr.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come to the middle circle.

When walking to the court, Sun Yi exchanged a few words with Curry beside him.

"Stephen, you have to play more decisively tonight, seize this opportunity, conquer the coach, and let us get more ball rights."

"Well, I see, I promise to make the damn ball, let's work together!" Curry nodded and replied.

"come on!"

After the exchange, Sun Yi and Curry came to their respective positions, waiting for the jump ball.

In the jump ball link, Gasol Jr. won the jump ball by relying on his height and wingspan advantage, and won the first offense for the Grizzlies.

The Warriors retreated very quickly, and each returned to their own defensive areas.

The Grizzlies did not rush to attack and played at a very slow pace, which is one of the characteristics of a defensive team.

Conley dribbled the ball unhurriedly to the three-point line, glanced at Curry in front of him, and passed the ball inside.

In the low area on the right, Randolph leaned against Sun Yi for the ball.

"Rookie, I'm here to teach you how to play back, watch it."

After Randolph finished speaking, he stuck out his butt, lowered his weight and pushed Sun Yi toward the penalty area.

"Lie down! This black bear is really strong."

Sun Yi complained in his heart, desperately resisting, but it didn't work.

Randolph pushed Sun Yi step by step into the penalty area, feeling happy.

Using a rookie to defend against him is simply giving away points.

"How did this rookie become stronger?"

When Randolph pushed his back near the penalty area, he found that he couldn't push anymore, and he was extremely confused.

Sun Yi would not tell Randolph that he had activated the effect of the badge [Forbidden Zone Deterrence].

Seeing that he couldn't push it, Randolph guessed that the rookie didn't use his full strength just now, and now he went all out to make him deflate.

But Rotten Tofu is not someone who gets frustrated easily, so he doesn't have to worry. He has a variety of tricks, and there is always one that can score points on this rookie.

Immediately, Randolph leaned against Sun Yi, turned towards the penalty area, and then threw the ball towards the basket.

Sun Yi immediately moved sideways and raised his arms to interfere.

Under the effect of the badge [Restricted Area Deterrence], Randolph missed the throw.

"Oh, Sun Yixiaobo defended against this attack, and then launched a counterattack!"

The Warriors' on-site commentator said passionately.

Sun Yi turned around and grabbed the rebound, and started to attack the frontcourt at the fastest speed.

The Grizzlies retreated quickly. Except for Randolph, who failed to come back, all other players returned to their defensive areas.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi rushed straight to the restricted area.

Mayo, a defensive black hole, tried to stop Sun Yi, but was ruthlessly crushed away.

Seeing this, Gasol immediately retreated to the basket to defend.

Sun Yi did not choose to rush inside and passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Curry, who was already ready to catch the ball, received the pass and took off in one go.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

There was thunderous applause from the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
