I am so Accurate

The biggest change for the Grizzlies compared to last year comes from the shooting guard.

They sent away Mike Miller through a three-party trade and welcomed Ronnie Brewer, who was on the rise.

Brewer was a lottery pick in 2006. He is 2.01 meters tall, weighs 103 kilograms, and has an outstanding wingspan.

These words are put here, and your first impression is that this is a swingman with a perfect shape.

This is indeed the case. Brewer not only has excellent physical fitness, but also has outstanding ball control ability, including his speed and passing vision.

In his third year with the Jazz, he averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of over 50%.

If he develops normally, he has a chance to become an All-Star player.

But the cruelty of the NBA is that many times one of your shortcomings will ruin your room for improvement.

Brewer's "shortcoming" is that he was in a car accident when he was a child. His right elbow cannot be fully straightened, which prevents him from training a standard shooting posture.

As a result, his shooting posture is weird and he is unable to maintain a stable level, especially his outside shooting ability has always been poor.

This is also the reason why the Jazz finally chose to send him away.

But in addition to shooting, his other talents are outstanding, including excellent defensive ability.

This is also the main reason why the Grizzlies traded him.

They need a top perimeter defender to match Rose.

Brewer has indeed done this, and his athleticism and speed are very suitable for the Grizzlies' current defensive counterattack style.

The little man plays a big role. His arrival has greatly improved the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive quality, and is also the key to the team's ability to reach the playoffs.

And the interesting thing is that the Grizzlies' style of play is also based on defensive counterattacks, which is very similar to the Warriors' style.

So it can be foreseen that this will be an exciting battle.

The playoffs are about to begin, and the league has announced the first batch of season awards.

The Warriors had a big harvest.

Carl Landry was successfully elected as the Sixth Man of the Season with 30% of the vote, narrowly beating Crawford with 28%.

Landry's score is about 3 points less than Crawford, but the Warriors' record is a level better than the Hawks.

In the selection of the best sixth man, the team record is still very useful.

Houston's Aaron Brooks won the Most Improved Award.

After so many years, they finally seemed to have found a good new guy.

The best head coach was won by Nelson.

This is also the second time in his career that he has been elected.

The last time he was elected, the Mavericks were still called the Mavericks, and Sun Hao was also on the team at that time.

And what's very interesting is that after winning the best head coach, Nelson has tied Phil Jackson's number of best head coaches.

Winning two out of three awards, this round is very profitable.

Once this wave of awards is over, the playoffs will officially begin.

As in previous years, the Eastern team will play first.

The Bulls beat the Bobcats, the Wizards beat the Pacers.

The Bobcats improved first and then fell, but their performance slackened in the second half, and finally fell to eighth place and played the Bulls in the first round.

The strength and condition were not there, and the result was predictable. They ended up defeated 81 to 101.

Paul showed his hot form, scoring a triple-double with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists. Yi Jianlian also scored 21 points.

As Peja, Hamilton and others decline due to age issues, Yi Jianlian has become the Bulls' stable second-in-command.

Compared with the previous games, the game between the Wizards and the Pacers was obviously much more intense.

The biggest change for the Pacers this season is that after a series of low-level battles for power, they have basically clarified the internal and external core of Granger and Randolph, which has also greatly improved their overall strength.

Looking back at the Wizards, Josh Howard proved in the second half of the game that he was indeed dead, but Matthews was playing well.

But in terms of overall strength, the Wizards are definitely weaker than before.

One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and the game is inextricable.

At the end of the game, Yao Ming still teaches how to be a good person.

Randolph and Noah couldn't even guard him.

In the end, thanks to Yao Ming's heroic performance of 35 points and 15 rebounds, the Wizards defeated the Pacers 91-83 and won their first victory in the playoffs.

The battle in the east has not yet finished, but the battle in the west has also begun.

The first game was played between the Mavericks and the Suns.

In fact, if you look at the wins in the Western Conference this year, you will know that even the eighth-placed Grizzlies are only 8 games behind the first-placed Warriors, which is a dozen games.

The fourth and fifth teams are one win away from each other, not to mention.

The competition was also very intense.

However, the scene was different from what many people expected.

Due to the arrival of O'Neal, the Mavericks' rhythm was already slow.

For the Suns, in addition to the counterattack after successful defense, most of the time the rhythm is actually very different from the crazy bombardment during the D'Antoni period.

As a result, the fighting between the two sides was actually like bayonet fighting, and there were all kinds of confrontations on the field.

But in terms of viewing pleasure, it's surprisingly good.

In the end, the Suns had the last laugh, winning the first victory of the series 108-98.

Those who have watched the game carefully will find that the Suns' unexpected record this season lies in their sense of space on the court.

The three newcomers to the team, Frye, Richardson and Hill, all have excellent three-point abilities, which stretches the space on the court infinitely.

Coupled with the fact that O'Neal can't get out, this gives the Mavericks a particularly headache on the defensive end.

And from the Grizzlies' promotion to the playoffs to the Suns' sense of space, a new tactical system is actually full of descriptions.

Small ball tactics.

Including this season, Nelson of the Warriors will also let Ibaka play the fifth position at certain times, which is also a manifestation of this tactic.

Small ball does not mean bombardment. It emphasizes defensive coordination and positional space, as well as high-speed defensive counterattacks.

The emergence of these things illustrates a misunderstanding that many fans have had. It is not the change in penalty scale that caused the emergence of small balls.

Small ball is a development of basketball, just like the blurring of court positions, it is also an improvement of basketball.

As for Xiao Hua's behavior in history, he just made an irrational decision after seeing the enjoyment brought by the ball. It was too much and not enough.

But Xiao Hua has already gone to harm the NFL. The current small ball sprout is based on confrontation, and it is still very entertaining.

After the game between the Suns and the Mavericks, the final game of the day was the Warriors against the Grizzlies.

As mentioned before, competition in the Western Conference is fierce this season, and the teams that advance to the playoffs are close in strength.

The Warriors faced off against the Grizzlies, and there was a lot of suspense.

Of course, the Warriors have the advantage of home court, with the right location and people, so they have a greater chance of winning.

Oracle Arena was sold out.

The Warriors' record this season leads the Western Conference, something that has not happened in the past 40 years.

Coupled with the presence of Sun Hao and Durant in the team, they really felt the possibility of team revival for the first time.

The current enthusiasm of fans in the Bay Area is the burning fire of desire in their hearts for decades!

"It's. Time" signs could be seen everywhere in the arena, and many people even held up posters of Scarlett.

"Unstoppable" has become the most familiar war song to fans in the Bay Area, and even Scarlett has become popular in the Bay Area.

During the pre-game warm-up, the live camera showed the Grizzlies star Derrick Rose.

A bit like the Pacers next door, the Grizzlies have also made it clear this season that the core of the team is Rose, and it is his whirlwind style of play that leads the Grizzlies forward.

Although he is only in his sophomore year, Rose has already averaged 22.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 48%.

He also earned his nickname in Memphis: the Mississippi Rose.

This nickname comes from the fact that his name is pronounced "rose", which is the same sound as rose.

There is Mississippi in front because Memphis is a river port city on the Mississippi River.

Combined together, it is the rose by the Mississippi River, which sounds very poetic.

Another reason for this nickname is his style of play. The scent of roses is strong and blooming, which is also very similar to Rose's open and close style of play.

But when the live footage was shown to Ross, he looked a bit silly.

In sharp contrast to his playing style, Rose is actually a very reserved and reserved person.

The most classic scene in history is his performance at the 2012 All-Star appearance ceremony.

Howard, James, Anthony and others danced to the music, and his eyes, alone and nowhere to be seen, made people laugh every time they saw him.

In fact, if it weren't for his skin color, you could easily mistake him for a Chinese.

During the warm-up before the game, Gasol ran over to the Warriors to greet Sun Hao.

Compared with a year ago, Gasol's body has become much stronger.

What you have to admire is that as the world's highest level basketball league, the NBA is really different in terms of controlling player body shape.

Thin people can become strong quickly when they get here, and fat people can also become lean and strong quickly.

Of course, in the future, due to the decline in confrontation due to the decline in the scale of confrontation, players can perform well without maintaining their body shape, which is another story.

After the pre-match warm-up, the scene entered into the opening ceremony.

For the Grizzlies, Rose, Ronnie Brewer, Gay, Luol Deng, Gasol.

For the Warriors, Curry, Sun Hao, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

The fans' enthusiasm had been ignited during the opening ceremony, and by the time the two sides started jumping the ball, the emotions had reached their first peak.

Oden jumped high and moved the ball back to the Warriors' half, and the Warriors' playoff season officially began.

The Grizzlies started the game with a 3-2 zone defense formation.

The purpose of this defensive formation is very clear, which is to put frontal defensive pressure on the Warriors, and then wait for opportunities to launch a defensive counterattack through steals.

The Spurs use a lot of zone defense, but the one they use the most is the NCAA.

So Curry didn't panic when he saw it, but calmly directed his teammates to move.

The weapon to break the zone defense is the three-point shot, but the core method is to use tactical movement to create local overplaying and underplaying.

Curry quickly put the essentials he had mastered in college into actual combat.

Under his command, Ibaka mentioned the free throw line, allowing the Warriors to form a 4-on-3 situation on the left.

Here I have to mention a question that many people have. Zone defense is a zone defense. Defensive players will not leave their defensive areas, so a local situation of overplaying and underplaying can be formed.

To sum up, zone defense is a very targeted defensive formation that can provide a lot of local defensive pressure, but as long as it can be broken, it will become very cumbersome.

Curry didn't panic, but he was obviously a little unprepared for the Grizzlies' defensive pressure.

Because when he was directing, he was immediately double-teamed at the top of the arc.

The suddenness and speed of double-teaming are much stronger than in the regular season.

Curry tried to get the ball out of a double team, but Brewer shot it quickly and cut it off.

Rose flew out to grab the ball, and then launched a fast break.

Sun Hao also reacted quickly and had already returned to defense in advance when he saw Curry being double-teamed.

(Curry: ??)

As a result, fans soon saw the one-on-one match between Rose and Sun Hao in the midfield.

Sun Hao knew that Rose was fast and there was a high chance that he would be passed by in frontal defense, so he directly chose to speed up and run back.

The two of them went from midfield to the backcourt free throw line in the blink of an eye.

Sun Hao turned around at this time and prepared to block.

But the moment he stood still, he felt Rose fly past his eyes in a swish.

Careless!

This guy changes direction without slowing down! !

By the time Sun Hao reacted and turned around, Rose had already jumped up and dunked with both hands to end the fast break.

There was a commotion in the place.

In McGrady's first game with the Warriors, they saw how Westbrook played.

It's the kind of violent play that never goes for a layup when there's a chance to dunk, and every round feels like running for a dunk.

But Rose's words, although he was also punching hard, but his fighting style was more elegant in comparison. If you compare it, it is more like the aesthetics of violence.

I have to say, the nickname "Mississippi Rose" is really apt.

During the Warriors' frontcourt attack, Curry wanted to give the ball to Sun Hao, but Sun Hao signaled him to continue.

In the first round, the Warriors gave Curry room to make mistakes, which is also a step he must go through to grow.

If one ball stops him from continuing to attack, the possibility of Curry becoming Redick will continue to increase.

After seeing this, Curry continued to organize with the ball.

After the experience in the first round, he was obviously much more careful. He was at least one meter away from the three-point line when controlling the ball.

The basketball half court is not small, but after ten people are put in it, it is actually quite crowded.

This is also the key to the success of the zone defense, because while the defensive players protect their respective areas, they can also dive out and attack as before.

But if the person holding the ball is far away from the three-point line, this situation can be reduced.

Curry's learning speed is still very fast.

Ibaka continues to pull high.

Curry observed the Grizzlies' defensive formation and quickly handed the ball to Ibaka. He quickly inserted into the bottom corner, preparing to catch the ball and shoot.

The Grizzlies zone defense had a prejudgment and moved to the corner in advance.

Ibaka got a good chance to take a shot at this time. He also had mid-range ability, so he directly chose to take a shot.

There is no problem with the choice of this ball, but maybe his hands were cold at first, and Ibaka's mid-range shot missed the mark and hit the basket.

The rebound was won by Gasol.

Gasol got the ball and prepared a long pass, but the Warriors retreated quickly this time, and the Grizzlies had no chance to directly fast break.

Both sides moved into position.

Rose advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Gasol mentioned a high pick-and-roll.

The playing styles of Gasol and his brother are very different, but they have some things in common.

For example, they both have excellent organizational skills and stable mid-range abilities.

Sun Hao is most familiar with this, and it is almost an essential ability for European big men.

And the key is that Rose is really fast, so the Warriors can only choose to change.

It was with this change that fans saw another of his abilities: starting and stopping in a hurry!

He braked almost instantly, then started again instantly, jumped directly to the right to get rid of Oden, and then threw the ball before Durant could help defend.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced off the backboard and into the net bag.

Rose scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

The fans at the scene had bubbles in their eyes.

The same rush, but Rose and Westbrook are really different.

Westbrook rushes into the paint. As long as he enters the three-second zone, you know that he will take off and dunk next.

But for Rose, there are more changes, and the most important thing is that his ability to start and stop suddenly is so terrifying, just like a bullet.

Mississippi Rose, truly worthy of its name!
