Chapter 505 Attitude Towards Records
The honor of consecutive victories, sometimes too much is not good, it is easy to bring pressure to the players.
In order to achieve a winning streak, the team may suffer injuries, so the gain outweighs the loss.
After all, there will be many surprises in the winning streak, and it is a sensible choice to pursue the hard honor of the championship.
But when the winning streak is in front of us, of course there are as many as there are without hurting the team.
At what speed without harming the team, the team needs to grasp it by itself.
Xiang Chu feels that it is necessary to communicate with George Karl at any time. If the old man makes random decisions for the sake of honor, it may affect the cause of the three consecutive championships.
Xiang Chu raised this question, and George Karl also agreed with it, and the old man also believed that three consecutive championships were more important.
But as a coach, he definitely wants both honors.
Of course, he also promised Xiang Chu that he would not make fun of the players' health, as long as the team won the game normally, he would never kill the players at this stage.
I was a little nervous before the regular season, but now it seems that their lineup is very good.
In terms of player selection, the team did not make mistakes. Both Middleton and Gallinari were a good match for Xiang Chu.
On January 1, the Nuggets came to Memphis to play away against the Grizzlies.
The performance of the Grizzlies this season is far inferior to the previous two seasons. One is that Randolph is one year older. The other is that the team has constant minor injuries, and the three cores are in the best condition.
In this match against the Nuggets, Conley was also unable to play, which had a big impact on the Grizzlies.
And now the Nuggets don't care about the black and white bears at all, their twin towers are younger and more aggressive.
However, the Grizzlies themselves are also in the process of running in. Their record this season is mediocre, and the team is constantly adjusting. During this period of time, they used Jeff Green to play the fourth position and gave up the play style of the twin towers.
Asking Randolph to rotate the lineup is also based on his offensive power. As players age and defend first, Randolph's defense is getting worse and worse. Jogel also intends to change.
But it's hard to say how effective it is. Randolph has fully demonstrated his offensive power on the bench, but he doesn't see much help for the team to win the game.
After Conley was injured, the team was Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies used a lineup without a number one. However, facing the Nuggets, they still honestly let backup guard Chalmers top the starting lineup.
How to say Chalmers is also a former champion defender, although it is not very easy to use now.
The Grizzlies have tried to make changes in order to get better, but the results are not very good now. Due to various reasons such as the aging lineup, the defense they are proud of this season has also regressed a lot.
However, Gasol is still the best meat shield in the league, and the Grizzlies still have ideas for this game.
Jokic moves slowly. They use Jeff Green to play the fourth position, just want Jeff Green to focus on this point, and then use defense to hold Xiang Chu.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with this, Jokic is indeed difficult to limit Jeff Green.
However, Jeff Green can't guard Jokic, their No. [-] Barnes can't guard Gallinari, and Gasol is also at a disadvantage against Xiang Chu.
So the Grizzlies played well at the beginning of the game, but soon the Nuggets took the initiative.
The Grizzlies are really uncomfortable now. Without Conley's inside line and being restrained, every round is very uncomfortable.
Now the defense is still at the level, but on the offensive end, they can only seize some misplaced opportunities.
Moreover, Jokic is very adaptable, and it is difficult for Jeff Green to play singles all the time. He does not have that strong ability.
However, Randolph's performance in the rotation lineup still brought hope to the Grizzlies. When Xiang Chu is not on the court, Randolph can also dominate the offensive end.
Nurkic was able to face Pekovic before, but obviously he was a bit worse against Randolph. Randolph, a fat man, is really talented on the offensive end, even if his strength has declined now.
But even if Randolph can show off during the rotation period, it can't cover up the overall weak offensive situation of the Grizzlies.
In terms of poor offense, the Grizzlies can't be said to be particularly bad, but many of their offenses need to be completed close to the basket. Xiang Chu has already blocked three big blocks in the first half.
If it weren't for Green and Barnes hitting three-pointers, the Nuggets' advantage would be even greater.
In the second quarter, both sides' starting efficiency declined, but the Grizzlies were more obvious.
There is no way, the Nuggets have a guarantee, and they are so arrogant.
By halftime, the Nuggets also had a solid 7-point lead.
This one is really stable. Before Randolph and Tony Allen messed up the situation, the team's outside line was out of focus for a while, but their lead has never been a problem.
There were some small problems in the first half, but there was no problem with the general direction of the team.
In the second half, we only need to make some adjustments, such as targeting Randolph more, such as doing a better job on the offensive end.
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies still couldn't get up on the offensive end, but the Nuggets made efforts.
The main reason was that Gasol was under a lot of pressure after three fouls. Xiang Chu was extremely aggressive inside, and Middleton and Gallinari seized the opportunity on the outside.
As soon as the Nuggets' offensive end came down, their lead came to double digits.
With this level of lead, the Grizzlies will be more difficult to play, not to mention that they are not an attacking team, even the Warriors will find it difficult to chase points in the hands of the Nuggets.
The league's top team has super scoring ability and good defense. It is too difficult to chase so many points in the hands of the Nuggets.
What can the Grizzlies do? Of course, it is the old way. The black and white bears play at the same time.
Other teams would fight to the death with a small lineup if they fell behind, but the Grizzlies made the lineup bigger instead.
Gasol restrained Xiang Chu, and Randolph came to fight Jokic.
This change is indeed effective. The Nuggets solved Jeff Green's problem quickly. Jokic interfered with the opponent's shooting by relying on his height, forcing people in or out. In short, he did not allow the opponent to shoot comfortably. Now Jeff Green is less accurate.
But Randolph's offensive method is more simple and rude, that is, the shot after the confrontation, as long as he has enough physical strength, it is not so easy to solve.
But it doesn't matter, Jokic can also be used as a meat shield. This young man has more comprehensive functions. He can shoot, pass and top. Even if he doesn't need to form twin towers in other teams, he can play slowly.
Randolph may be able to score some points on Jokic, but is his scoring speed comparable to Xiang Chu, or jokingly, can Gasol have the current Jokic to carry it? After all, Gasol has carried it for so long , Both physical strength and foul count are a bit troublesome.
It should be said that the Nuggets have advantages in both aspects. What the Grizzlies can do is to let strong players play for a while, but this has little impact on the Nuggets.
