The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 94

After several rounds of slow-paced offense and defense, the commentators on the scene were a little sleepy.

"Okay, audience friends, the current score is 9 to 15, and half a quarter has passed. This kind of game is really unspeakable." Kenny Smith, the guest commentator tonight, was speaking, and sitting next to him was His former teammate Matt Brad.

These two are important contributors to the Rockets' championship in the 94-95 season, and both are excellent three-pointers.

"Hey Kenny, I think we can bring a grill to the studio today, what do you think?" Matt Brad teased.

"Who says it's not? Baobuqi's meat skewers are all cooked, and the offense there didn't score a goal." Smith said with a wry smile.

Just as he was speaking, Gay hit another iron angrily, the rebound was grabbed by Hayward, and the point was given to Stephenson.

Marion, who was running in the first place, received a pass from his teammate and was just about to stride into the basket when Li Ming suddenly appeared under the basket. May be dribbled by the referee.

After a little hesitation, Marion chose to pass the ball to Stephenson on the outside.

Stephenson didn't take the shot for credit, but passed the ball back to Marion again after he ran out of position again.

It was Guy who was in charge of marking Marion. Guy took a step in. Marion glanced at the basket, then suddenly took a step back and shot at a very fast speed.

Wow, this posture... is really not flattering, it looks a bit like an 80-year-old lady going up the stairs.

But I can't help but be really accurate, come in...

12 to 15, with 4 minutes and 47 seconds left in the first quarter, it seems that this game is another [-]-point rhythm, a very Grizzly game.

"Sean...Sean...Sean...He got it! he got it! oh, man, he got it!!" Kenny Smith jumped up from the chair and kept turning in circles.

"You know what? Matt, my wife just told me that her sister was born, and yes, she was doing fine until the Mavericks made the [-]. You know what? She's only seven months old!!"

In other words, Kenny Smith would be an underachiever not to be a commentator, and his mouth is no worse than his three-pointer.

Bayless made a cross pass to Rudy Gay on the other side. Gay strode in with the basketball high and took away the defender while giving the ball to Marc Gasol who was standing at the free throw line.

Gasol did not choose the first shot, he was waiting for Randolph card position inside.

Randolph pointed to the sky, signaling him to make a bold shot, and there was him under the basket.

Sure enough, Gasol also joined the blacksmithing brigade in Memphis, and the familiar sound of blacksmithing floated over the FedEx Center again.

It's a pity that the rebound was not grabbed by Randolph as he wished. He was too tired, and when he took off again after the first point, he was missed by the younger Mahinmi behind him.

Carlisle on the sidelines clenched his fists vigorously. Yes, his strategy worked. He used these two big men, one in front of him, and the other in the back to chase, consuming the big black bear.

Mahinmi gave the ball to Marion who was reaching out for the ball. Marion flew beyond the three-point line, looked at Nowitzki on the other side and made a decisive three-pointer.

It is still the familiar posture, the familiar taste, and then enter.

15 tie, don’t tell me, Marion’s crooked machine gun is quite accurate, if you really let him shoot, he really does. His career-high three-point shooting rate reached 37% in the season, which is a qualified player. The outside three broke up.

He can also help Nowitzki open up space in the Mavericks, although the latter is not obsessed with singles, but also focuses on jump shots.

This season, Marion averaged 10 points and 12 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game. He is considered a qualified starting small forward, after all, he is no longer young.

Coach Hollins saw the score being overtaken and immediately called a timeout.

"Arthur, do you think you can keep up with Nowitzki?" Coach Hollins patted Arthur on the shoulder hard.

"I'll work hard, Coach." Arthur quickly stood up from the stool, more like bouncing than standing up.

"Very well, you will replace Mark in a moment." Hollins finally changed his formation, took down Gasol, and replaced him with Arthur, who moved faster.

On the side of Mavericks, Carlisle kept clapping his hands to cheer up his disciples.

"Sean, I need you to be more aggressive, keep attacking the basket continuously, and do your best." Carlisle patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.

Marion just kept wiping his sweat and nodding his head. To be honest, he has already started to pant. Years, is this still the hacker Marion who shocked the heavens back then?Is it still that physical monster?Give us back Marion! !
At the same time, Carlisle waved his hand and took the inside-out combination of Vince Carter and Kaman.

When the timeout expires, the game continues.

The Grizzlies sent the baseline ball, and Bayless gave the ball to Li Ming on the right. Li Ming took the ball and rushed to the opponent's hinterland. He stopped the ball near the free throw line to observe the positioning of his teammates.

He was guarded by the newly brought in Dominic Jones, a player at the end of the bench.

Li Ming made a gesture of shooting but hit the ground to Randolph. Randolph yelled and dunked the ball into the basket.

The Mavericks here also didn't waste a second, quickly served the baseline ball, and quickly crossed the half court, the ball came to Nowitzki's hands, he lowered his body and squeezed Arthur in, and Guy came up to double-team.

Nowitzki yelled "Okay" in his heart and immediately passed the ball to Marion who slipped into the baseline. When Guy wanted to turn around again, Marion had already completed a wipe shot.

"Rudy, what are you doing? Don't you know that Deck can't play inside? Don't you see that Zach is so much stronger than him? What are you doing?"

Conley couldn't sit still off the court, and kept yelling at Gay. He began to stand up and cheer for his teammates.

Guy didn't speak, just slapped his forehead, hurried to the second half, Li Ming walked past him and grinned at him.

"Lee, you know me, I just can't control myself." Guy said he was also very wronged.

Under the defense of Dominic Jones, Bayless gave the ball to Li Ming who was outside the three-point line. Li Ming glanced at Carter and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

He didn't catch the ball well at all, it was a little low when he got the ball, so he shot it with almost no adjustment, missed, Randolph jumped high, and Li Ming rushed in at the same time.

While several people were fighting for the rebound, a person flew up from the crowd and smashed the ball into the basket. Yes, it was the No. 7 player from Huaxia, Li Ming, the new favorite of the United Center! !
