Chapter 174 The wall of the mental hospital fell
The FedEx Arena in Memphis can accommodate at least 18,000 fans to watch the game, but it has not been full since the day Fletello replaced Old Brown as the team's head coach.
Even in the playoffs, I have never seen the situation of full players here. No one wants to see their team always swept by those opponents. The Grizzlies are really useless in the playoffs.
They often work hard for a season. It's easy to get on the last bus of the playoffs, and then there are all kinds of rounds. It's not terrible to lose, but they lose a little too completely.
Originally, as a team that has just been established for ten years, it is not easy for the Grizzlies to successfully enter the playoffs in the West for three consecutive years. The old tradition of the NBA is that the West is strong and weak in the East. It is quite rare to play like this.
But what is bad about the Grizzlies is their performance in the playoffs. Although they played well in the regular season, the state of the playoffs really made Memphis fans feel very helpless.
When the Grizzlies entered the playoffs for the first time, they were hit 4-0 by the Spurs.
The second time they became much more cautious, but they were unlucky to encounter the solar storm caused by Nash, and the result was a very tragic 4-0, and the Suns scored more than 100 in all four games.
The third Grizzlies are really going to end the tragic fate of their round of tour, and then... they met the calf led by Nowitzki. As for the final ending..., er, same as above.
He stopped in the first round three times in a row, and the score was 4-0. Er, you can only say that the old man of God is flirting with the poor and unlucky Grizzlies.
This sad luck is almost unbelievable. Whether it is changing players or coaches, it can't be changed.
In such a venue where fans are not even satisfied with the playoffs, you can't expect it to be full in the regular season. What's more, at the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies' record was already terrible.
Last season, they were able to squeeze into the playoffs at the last minute, but judging from the current situation of this season, they are lucky not to be at the bottom of the West, thanks to Guy's two outbreaks.
Fletello, as the main coach, can only work very hard to compete for the penultimate place in the West with the Supersonics. The gap between the two teams is only one win. Now the Grizzlies are temporarily ahead of their opponents with 4 wins and 15 losses.
However, the Supersonic side also has Lewis and Ray Allen. One day when these two guys feel crazy, maybe a winning streak can leave the Grizzlies behind.
The unlucky Fletello will definitely have a holiday with God, otherwise the old guy will not always have a holiday with him.
Originally, there was a little attempt to choose Rudy Gay to let Fretello this season, but Paul Gasol was suddenly injured when he was playing in the national team.
And this injury was nearly two months. The joint training and tactical ideas before the start of the season were all ruined.
This made Fletello completely tragic. He thought it was an opportunity to be reborn, but as a result, he was poured with cold water head-on, and the Grizzlies had a six-game losing streak at the beginning.
This is not the most tragic thing. The Bulls over there are now dying to seduce Gasol and abandon the secret. The Spaniards here also have little confidence in the future of the Grizzlies and seem to refuse to welcome.
Er, it's like a prostitute and a girl who comes out to exchange her body for money. Both sides are already in love with concubines. The Grizzlies are watching, just like a lady who doesn't make money and lose money.
However, the Spaniards are not to be blamed for being unrighteous. After all, Gasol is almost 27 years old. His technical insider style of playing really requires a strong team to escort himself.
And Gasol's personality is not suitable for being a boss. He is more suitable to be a second-in-command, but he must be the core of the Grizzlies, and there are not many people who can help him.
In addition to the new Rudy Guy, who can be regarded as a good player, only Mike Miller can be a helper for Gasol on the court. In addition to these two, Gasol has to choose singles more often.
The rest, such as Dadi Jones or Damon Stadmeier, can't help. A reckless man like Stromyers Wift is more like a super idiot on the court.
With such a level of teammates around, even if Paul Gasol is possessed by Joe, he can't save the Memphis Grizzlies, who continue to be sluggish and the football market is not on the best.
What's more, Gasol is not the backbone of the standard team at all, but if he encounters pressure, he usually chooses to be timid. Pierce's fierceness, who can still fight in adversity, can't be seen by the Spaniards. Most of the time, the collapse of the Grizzlies comes from within their team. .
The Iberian Peninsula gave the people of Gasol a talent, but it did not give him a strong heart.
And there is also a powerful Bulls here who are stirring up the flames. Gasol is not looking forward to his future in Memphis as he did when he first joined the NBA.
Although there are many crises within the team, Fletello still has to fight against the Celtics. At this moment, he dares not give up any game easily.
Both the media and the management have revealed the wind. If the team continues to be in such a downturn, he, as the head coach, may become the first unlucky person to be terminated this season.
In order to keep his position and in order to make the sluggish team meet the desire of the home fans a little, Fletello is also the main player in this game.
Including Paul Gasol, who has just recovered from injury for a week, has appeared in the starting lineup, and he is also the strongest lineup of the Grizzlies.
Mike Miller, Rudy Guy, Damon Stadmeier, plus the recent scoring efficiency can enter the top three of the team, Chaki Atkins in a very good condition.
One big and four small, but the team's overall athletic ability is very good, especially the three outside lines. They are all assault players who can run and jump. Fletello has made up his mind to rush.
Especially when Fletello saw Rivers throw Ron, Chen Feng, Tony Allen, Jefferson and Sprewell on the field, he was more determined to raise the speed of the game.
"Chaki, Damon, Rudy, speed, what I ask for is speed. The other party has a 36-year-old guy playing. I don't care what you do, but I have to break the gap from him."
Fletello is not unclear about Spreville's past, but in the face of such an old man who has been idle at home for a year, he must and should tear the Celtic defense from this position.
Especially Rudy Guy, who has amazing athletic ability and excellent physical fitness. No matter height or weight, this guy can eat the old man of Spreville, at least Fletello thinks so.
Sitting at home, and Rudy Gay is still a rookie who wants to be a little good for the Grizzlies. The coach's arrangement of singles is obviously his mind.
This guy, who could have been in the top three in this rookie, can only be obediently ranked behind Brandon Roy, Chen Feng and Ron on the rookie list because of the birth of Ron and Chen Feng.
Now that it's not easy to have such a face-to-face opportunity, Rudy Gay can't wait to prove that his ability is far better than the two guys on the opposite.
However, Rudy Gay's side was not waiting to be majestic in front of Chen Feng and Rondo. The first time he held the ball and prepared to attack, he ran into Sprevel, who had just shaved his hair to a board near the three-point line.
I thought it would be easy to break through this opponent who was a circle smaller than me, but as soon as Rudy Guy bumped into Spreville, he suddenly understood that it was absolutely impossible for him to eat his opponent so simply.
It may be that Sprewell has been away from the field for a while, or this guy is more famous for pinching Calessimo's neck. Many people have forgotten that when he was in the second grade, this guy was selected into the NBA's best team first team and the best defensive team second team at the same time. This guy is a All-time talent!
Although it seems that Sprewell is one size smaller than Guy, this old guy doesn't have the habit of letting his opponent when defending. Guy dares to force, and this guy dares to lower his center of gravity and carry it hard.
He didn't give his opponent any chance. When Fletello was still waiting on the sidelines to see Guy's good play of Spreeville, he waited for the old madman to slap off Guy's dribble that was about to change hands.
There is nothing to do with the one-on-one competition. Sprewell took the ball so crisply, and then shook off the pursuers and easily completed the first attack of the game with a layup.
Is this an accident? Fletello really hoped that someone could tell himself this, but in a few minutes, he would not have such a naive idea, because his new king had been blown up by the old guy.
An interruption of the ball was just the beginning of the battle between Sprewell and Guy. Guy, who was ready to fight back, held the ball on the outside three times in a row and was ready to eat the old guy in front of him.
But the result he waited was that he was blocked in the bottom corner twice, once the front was broken, and once he had broken through, but Spreville was behind him and poked the ball out like a ghost with his fingers.
I guess no one can think of such a result when two people fight against each other, but this is the truth. It is cruel to the grizzly bear or Guy, but it is definitely a good omen for Spreville.
A year of leisure time did not make this guy lose his sense of smell of the game, as Rivers said, "This kind of old guy who is about to become a goblin, his body has long been integrated into the rhythm of the game. Want to make them overwhelmed? Come on, it's better for you to expect them to retire early. They are all refined."
No one knows what Fletello would think of such a confrontation, but Siebodu whispered on the sidelines, "My God, the wall of the psychiatric hospital in Boston must have fallen down, that's why such a crazy guy was released. Er, plus that wild boy, the Memphis people should pray quickly. . "
Indeed, if you meet a madman, you can avoid him, but what if you meet two?
Maybe even the old man of God can't save you...
