"Ha ha …"
Anthony and Brand were both amused by Mutombo.
Anthony then greeted several other newcomers, and with Mutombo’s help, these people quickly integrated into the Nuggets atmosphere.
Fate is always joking with people. Brand and Williams have just entered the Nuggets. After two days’ rest, they will fly to Memphis and Los Angeles to take turns to challenge the Grizzlies and Clippers.
The league schedule has been confirmed before the game, and no one has deliberately arranged this game, but it seems that some things are really so coincidental.
Memphis Grizzlies is a part of the overseas expansion of a new army league in nba. The original name of Memphis Grizzlies is Vancouver Grizzlies. As the name implies, this player was originally based in Vancouver, Canada, and it was not until 21 years that the team officially moved back to Memphis.
Such a new army was originally in the league, but in 2 years, the Lakers famous Jerry? After West entered the league management, the team has undergone a qualitative change. This season is the harvest season. Paul? Gasol James? Percy Mike? Miller Bang Qi? Wells, a bunch of good players, have shown strong competitiveness in previous games, and now they rank sixth in the West. What’s more, they traded Andre from the Nuggets? Miller’s strength can be said to be further improved, and he will definitely have some in the playoffs.
Anthony and his Nuggets flew to Memphis the night before the game. When they arrived, they first rested at the couch hotel, then the team practiced together the next morning, and then they were ready to meet the Grizzlies challenge after the afternoon break.
When Anthony arrived, he wanted the Nuggets players to get together with Miller, but he thought that it would have a bad influence on the team and Miller. Finally, he thought about it and found Miller for dinner alone.
Miller stayed in Memphis for two days, but unlike Anthony, he played the game the night after he arrived. Now this is his second game with the Nuggets. The Grizzlies attack the Pau Gasol axis, which is much slower than the Nuggets. This is a good thing for Miller. His ability can be better displayed.
Anthony and Miller had a simple chat after a meal, and then they went back to the team to prepare for the evening game.
FedEx Arena is just put into operation this season, which makes it possible to accommodate more than 10 million spectators.
At this time, the FedEx arena is already crowded with people. Because of the strong performance of the Grizzlies in the season, the Memphis market has finally ushered in spring, and the fans’ enthusiasm for the home team has reached a unprecedented height.
Anthony was sitting on the bench at this time. He looked up at the arena in front of him. In his impression, most of his understanding of the Grizzlies stayed in the later period. What about the "black miracle" and "black and white duo" against the Spurs? Gasol is ahead of the Grizzlies. He doesn’t know much about it. It’s also an embarrassing memory that Gasol has been swept away without winning a game in the playoffs.
The commentary of this game is from espn Bill? Wharton and his partner Brad? Les
"Hey, Bill, this game is really interesting. The Nuggets just got Captain Elton on the trade deadline? Brand, this is Elton’s debut in the Nuggets, and the Nuggets and Grizzlies have just made a deal. They exchanged Miller for Williams. This time, both players are facing the old owners for the first time. I don’t know what strength they can play? " Nelles threw out all the highlights of every game in one game.
Wharton also smiled and said, "There are really many things to watch in this game. Look at these packed fans behind us, so the seating rate is comparable to that in the playoffs."
Nelles nodded when he heard this, and then suddenly turned to say, "By the way, I heard that earlier today, the voting for Alliance Star was finally closed. Although the final result will not be announced until the 27th, according to the previous voting statistics, Melo should have locked in the Star Ticket King?"
Wharton looked at the sidelines and Anthony’s eyes were full of admiration. "Yes, Melo can be said to be born now. Michael has just retired and added his pre-advertisement. His popularity has reached a peak, or he will become the new spokesperson of the league in two years in Xu Bule. You know, he is now a rookie and a star ticket king. This is really rare in the history of the league, and it is a true prehistoric case in the background of modern online voting."
While two commentators were talking with Kan Kan, Anthony got up from the bench. D ‘Antoni called the players up and made the final tactical deployment before the game.
"Du!"
Soon the whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the starters on both sides also appeared in full.
The Nuggets traded Williams and Brand into the starting lineup. The other positions are still Bell, Anthony and Yuan, who have always been the team’s fourth starter, but after Brand came, he was moved to the fifth position.
On the other hand, Miller from the Grizzlies also started with his partner Mike in the backcourt. Miller, is James the striker? Percy and the core of the team Paul? Gasol’s center is Memphis native lorentzen? Wright
Jump ball is a jump ball with Camby team before Wright. Perhaps it is because the big girl’s sedan chair actually jumped after the referee threw the ball for the first time, which did not amuse the referee but amused him.
The second jump ball adjusted the mentality. Wright took the ball back first, and it fell into Williams’ hand. The latter moved forward with the ball.
The Nuggets still play the run-and-run tactics, but with Brand joining, their tactical choices have become more abundant. This time, after half-time, the ball was pounded on the outside for two times, and it was given to Brand.
As soon as Brand caught the ball, the fans shouted and the defense was overwhelming, showing the wild atmosphere of the Memphis team.
Defending Brand is Gasol, the technical line, who calmly stands against Brand.
Brand is short in height, but his low-post skill is better than Gasol’s, and he also has excellent coping ability. At this moment, Gasol has played twice in the back, and his central feet are as steady as Mount Tai. Gasol is also overwhelmed. Brand feels bad, and then he turns around like a little gyro and bypasses Gasol’s big body. He is about to basket.
Wright saw Gasol being pushed too hard and ran to delay, but as soon as he got here, Brand suddenly dropped the ball from his armpit and a string of balls fell firmly into his hand.
After catching the ball, he pulled up and dunked without hesitation.
"bang!" A muffled sound plunged FedEx Arena into a hush.
It feels violent when playing power forward, but he is not very skilled as a sophomore, especially in the part of ball coordination, which is particularly important in running and bombing tactics.
Now that Brand has joined this position, technology and Duncan have a super star line, it is simply a blessing to the Nuggets. Just now, this ball fully explained the changes that Brand has brought to the team, but it is a good feeling to enjoy a catch.
Anthony looked at the line and the two men were relieved. You know, Brand is not that kind of sports line. It may not be the best for shelling tactics, but if he can play his coordination strength, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
