Chapter 583
Coach George Karl has gray hair and his hairline reaches the top of his head. Of course he hopes to create a new history for the team.During his years of coaching this team, he has led the team to a total of 1131 victories, with a winning rate of 59.9%. However, as a coach, it is always a pity that he did not lead the team to the finals and did not win the championship.Now these players in his hands, there are no superstars, it seems that the Western Conference Finals seems to be the limit.But he was unwilling to admit defeat. He always felt that the Grizzlies were not that strong, and they still had a chance.
Yang Jian asked Yang Yi in the CCTV studio: "George Karl, the head coach of the Nuggets, is only in his 60s. Why is his hair so white? Some of the old men in our community are in their 70s and their hair is all gray." Darker than him."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "NBA head coaches are under a lot of pressure! The old man downstairs lives a relaxed life, raises cats and dogs, and the work rhythm is not at the same level. Look at those NBA coaches, don't they have very little hair?"
Yang Jian suddenly realized: "Indeed, there are still many critical issues."
"That's right, do you want to try to be a coach?" Yang Yi asked viciously.
Yang Jian quickly confessed: "I'd better be the host, let a professional be the coach!"
FedEx Arena.
The game has not yet started, and the atmosphere at the scene is already very strong.For the Grizzlies, they need 4 victories to reach the Finals for the first time in team history.And the same applies to the Nuggets.
The Grizzlies have experience in the Western Conference Finals. In the 2010-11 season, they reached the Western Conference Finals, but eventually lost to the later championship Mavericks. Unfortunately, they failed to reach the end.
In this team, only the old prince has the championship ring, and only he has the experience of the finals, so the players respect him very much and will ask him some stories about the finals.Obviously, the goal of this Grizzlies team is no longer satisfied with the Western Conference Finals, they have already aimed at the Finals.
Players from both sides appeared on the field, and the game will soon begin.
Both teams want to enter the finals, but in the predictions of the major media before the game, the Grizzlies still account for the vast majority.Of course, there are also those who are optimistic about the Nuggets, at least some people in Beverly, Barkley and the Spurs are optimistic about them.
The players of the two teams were still very polite, hugging and greeting each other.There is no feud between these two teams, maybe after this series, but not yet.
JaVale McGee and the White Bears prepare for a jump ball near the center circle before the game begins.
Amidst the screams of the fans at the scene, the jump ball started.
The weight and height of the white bear are not inferior to McGee, and the strength is even more crushing, but it is better than vertical jumping, and 10 white bears are bundled together, which is not as good as McGee.
What McGee is best at is jumping.He is the character design of the jumping boy, you are a Spanish white, take off vertically compared with the boy who participated in the dunk contest, wash up and sleep.
Ice Bear was still very serious, and he still tried hard, but his bounce was not much higher than a matchbox, and in front of McGee, it was no different from not jumping.
McGee stretched out his long arms, as if flying into the sky and catching the moon, giving the Asian fans who love Jin Yong's martial arts novels a feeling, did this guy practice the "Tiyun Zong" of the Wudang school?
But soon, the fans were stunned, because McGee passed the ball to the audience in the first row, and almost broke the girl's sunglasses.
The starting players of the Grizzlies all have black question mark faces, but the players of the track and field team are used to it. If McGee doesn't make some "five embarrassing" shots, is that still McGee?
McGee graduated from the University of Nevada. He was selected by the Washington Wizards with the 2008th overall pick in the first round in 18.Looking at it this way, he is actually a rookie in the same class as Xie Kai and Arthur. His draft template was the Lakers champion center Andrew Bynum!
Now it seems that McGee has no similar relationship with Bynum. His ostrich-like calf can't get stuck in the paint. In addition to being able to jump, he also has a poor sense of position on the defensive end. He looks like a bluff , but in the next round, it might be that a stunned man was stolen by the opponent slipping to the bottom line.
McGee can indeed dance, and Chinese fans are no strangers to him. The United Arab Emirates played with him in the Wizards back then. On January 2011, 1, he was invited to participate in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and won the runner-up.Although he lost the slam dunk contest, he became the Guinness World Record holder.Guinness officially confirmed the award of the world record certificate for "the player with the most goals scored in one dunk".
On March 3 last year, the Wizards, Nuggets and Clippers completed a three-team, five-player deal.Among them, the Wizards sent Nick Young, Turiaf and McGee, the Clippers sent Brian Cook and a future second-round pick, and the Nuggets sent Nene.
In this way, McGee, who is "a superstar below the head", joined the Nuggets.
On July 7 of the same year, McGee officially renewed his contract with the Nuggets for a four-year contract worth $19 million.
With an annual salary of tens of millions, McGee, as a member of the 08 class, can be regarded as a success.You must know that these players in the 08 class, except for superstars such as Xie Kai, Rose and Westbrook, many players are not even in this league anymore.It can be seen how fierce the competition in this alliance is.
In this wave of McGee's showmanship, the ball belonged to the Grizzlies. The old prince went to serve and gave the ball to Conley to dribble over.
The defense opened, of course, is the leader of the Nuggets Iguodala.
When Iguodala was in the Philadelphia 76ers, he was called a "little AI", which shows the expectations of Philadelphia fans for him.He has excellent physical fitness, participated in the slam dunk contest, and has excellent defense. He was selected to the second team of the best defensive team in the 2010-11 season.
在巅峰的时候，他场均可以贡献19.9分5.4个篮板4.8个助攻2.1个抢断以及0.6次盖帽。他被称为“穷人版詹姆斯”，可见他的全面性和身体的爆炸程度。
It's a pity that he is still a support player after all, and he didn't average more than 20 points per game at his peak. With him as the main offense, the team's upper limit is still too low, so the 76ers finally chose to send him away.
Xie Kai admires Iguodala very much. It is too wasteful to let this kind of top-notch support be the output. People should do what they are good at. It is like letting O'Neal be a blue-collar worker and Howard be the main attacker. suitable arrangement.
The old captain of the Grizzlies and the current president of the Heat, Battier, said: "Andre Iguodala is the LeBron of the West Coast."
Iguodala is 198cm tall, the same as Danny Green, but he is stronger than Danny Green on the defensive end because he has better athletic ability, better wingspan, bullet speed, confrontation, and better possession. Defensive hardware conditions.
