The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 254 Hot Memphis, Unfamiliar Pettit (Fourth)
8 consecutive victories!The start of the Cavaliers this time is even crazier than last season, and what is even more commendable is that last season the Cavaliers started off against mostly underdogs who did not make the playoffs, but this season they encountered all Tough battles, the Mavericks, Thunder, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Magic and other teams are all favorite teams for the championship in recent seasons.

Not a dark horse!This is a championship favorite.

Some media pointed out that the Cleveland Cavaliers need to be taken seriously, and they should no longer be regarded as a dark polo team, otherwise they will definitely suffer a lot.

Barkley even said bluntly that last season's Cavaliers were a group of dark horses, and this season's Cavaliers are definitely capable of hitting the championship.

But Smith emphasized to Barkley that the Cavaliers have not yet met the Spurs and Heat, which most test the strength of the team. Lee firmly believes that even the Spurs and Heat will not get any benefits from the Cavaliers.

"In fact, I think other teams in the league need to think about the future of the team, because judging from the current league structure and lineup, the Cavaliers will dominate the league in the next few seasons." Barkley said confidently .

After the Cavaliers defeated the Magic in an away game, some media also broke the news about a small episode, about the Magic placing a magazine with a cool cover of Yuan Man’s girlfriend Kate Upton in the locker room of the visiting team before the game, in an attempt to distract Yuan Man paid attention to the story, but what the Magic didn't expect was that this move aroused Yuan Man's anger instead.

"Damn it, I don't know what the team thinks, our basket is going to be dunked, I hope they will think about the consequences next time they do these boring things!"

After the game, some Magic fans thought the team's actions were unreasonable.

Although he defeated the Magic, Appleton's cool cover still made Yuan Man feel a little uncomfortable.

The next game is back-to-back. The team will go to the cold Memphis to face the dark horse of last season's playoffs and the hot Memphis Grizzlies this season.

The Grizzlies last season can be described as a miracle team. After entering the playoffs with a record of 46 wins and 36 losses, the Grizzlies made a "black eight miracle" against the stable Spurs. In the sixth game, relying on Zach Randolph's 31 points and 11 rebounds and the team's service life, they won the Spurs 99-91 at home and eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4-2.

This is also the fourth team in league history to create the "Black Eight" miracle since the Denver Nuggets in 1994, the New York Knicks in 1999 and the Golden State Warriors in 2007. It is also the first time in the history of the Memphis Grizzlies to win A playoff series win.

It is precisely because of the magic of last season that the Memphis football market is booming this season. Although the winter in Memphis is very cold, the atmosphere in the stadium is getting hotter and hotter.

However, the luck of the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season was not very good. The big insider Arthur was reimbursed for the Achilles tendon surgery for the season. Randolph, the hero of the Black Eight last season, also injured his knee after only playing 4 games and needed at least 2 months of recuperation.

However, the Grizzlies' tenacious style of play still remained. Under the leadership of the insider Marc Gasol, the explosive forward Rudy Gay and the perimeter commander Mike Conley, the Grizzlies quickly returned to their normal track. , and quickly restored the team's record to more than 50%.

Before the game against the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies had just defeated the Houston Rockets, which Chinese fans are familiar with, 91-81 at home, achieving 4 consecutive victories.

This time the Cavaliers came with the power of 8 consecutive victories, and the media predicted that it must be a thunderous confrontation.

Marc Gasol said before the game that he is not afraid of any team in the league, and Rudy Gay expressed that he is looking forward to the matchup with Yuan Man, who has performed well this season.

After the last game against the Magic, Yuan Man received a reward from the system.

Leader: David Robinson (Peak)

Game rewards: skill coupons
Yuan Man saw that the harvest of this competition was quite special. It turned out to be a skill ticket. The system gave special instructions for the reward of the skill ticket.

Learning David Robinson's good self-discipline and technical habits without redundant movements can quickly improve skills, so the system rewards a skill coupon, which can improve the level of any skill.

This is a good reward, and it is suitable for use on the "Fague Jumper". Currently, the skill level of the Fadeback Jumper is B+, and if it is upgraded to a level, it can reach A-. Although it is only one level, this is from It is very difficult to advance from B level to A level. Since acquiring this skill from Kobe, Yuan Man has practiced this skill repeatedly, but his proficiency has remained at B+. There is no way to advance to A-.

I used the obtained skill coupon and selected the item "Fague Jumper", and the level of the fadeaway jumper immediately changed from B+ to A-.

This skill can truly be called a well-integrated skill after reaching the A level.

Against Memphis, Yuan Man's "Legendary Roulette" has only one last character left, Bob Pettit.

Therefore, when Yuan Man just took out the "Legendary Roulette" from the system, Petit stood up very consciously.

To be honest, when he saw Pettit, Yuan Man didn't know the great god in front of him at all. This old guy who was born in 1932 was a long time ago when Yuan Man watched football, but Pettit's name is Yuan Man. Man has heard of it.

Pettit was also elected as the best rookie in his rookie season. Even more powerful than David Robinson, Pettit entered the league's first team in his rookie season, which is unprecedented.

In his rookie season, Pettit, who mainly played inside, was able to contribute 20.4 points and 13.8 rebounds per game. In the second season, he was elected as the league's leading scorer and rebounder with 25.7 points and 16.2 rebounds.

Bob Pettit was an early "hard work" player representative, just as Bryant's "four o'clock in the morning" is now famous in the league.

Bill Russell once commented that Pettit is more aggressive than anyone else, and playing poker with Pettit is a very boring thing, because his goal is only to win, not to relax.

Pettit was quite handsome when he was young, just when Yuan Man wanted to ask, is brother gay?Petit had already entered Yuan Man's body.

After merging with Pettit, the previous unhappiness about Upton was immediately forgotten by Yuan Man. Right now, Yuan Man has only one thought, and that is to defeat the Grizzlies and take away the victory!
