Three Hundred and Forty. How Did This Team Beat the Lakers?

In March, as long as the University of Memphis is not eliminated, the Memphis basketball circle is the world of the University of Memphis.

Even Gasol is a fan of the University of Memphis. He has lived in Germaine Town, where Lausanne High School in Memphis is located, since middle school. , because he was sure that he would not be admitted to university, so he chose to return to Barcelona to play in the professional league.

Gasol Jr. decided to join the Grizzlies in 2008 and signed a three-year, 9.72 million lottery contract with the Grizzlies. Lausanne High School invited reporters to hold a press conference on the day the news was announced, announcing his retirement The jersey worn by Gasol Jr. from his first year to his third year, even though the school team of this high school only played in the high school league in Memphis...

Properly rub the heat.

After lunch with his teammates, Sun Ce was dragged by Gasol to watch the University of Memphis play Marquette University in Wisconsin.

Anyway, the game was played in its own arena, and the team provided tickets, so Sun Ce went to watch it.

Contest……

In terms of personal ability, there is really nothing to see. Only Elliott Williams of the two teams ranks in the top 50 in the United States, and the other players are all players outside the 150th place.

It's not that every team in the top 64 of the NCAA has great players. Even if many teams make it to the top 64, this team doesn't even have a player who has a chance to be selected by the NBA.

After all, there are at least 700 players on 64 teams.

After all, there are only 60 picks in the NBA draft a year. For example, the University of Kentucky is predicted to have 6 players selected this year. John Wall, who locked the No. 1 pick after the first game last year, also belongs to the University of Kentucky.

In college competitions, it doesn't matter if you look at individual ability, but if you look at the strength of the team...it's actually average. The best team in the development league will not be much worse than the championship team.

After all, sometimes the championship team is the second-round pick, and some of them will go to the development league after playing for two years. Most of the players on the NCAA championship team may not have the strength to play in the development league.

But watching them play...

Sun Ce knows why Gasol, a European player, likes NCAA games so much. It is completely different from professional games!

The tactics of the Grizzlies are already considered good. There are two sets of tactics for the starting lineup and the rotation lineup, but the starting offense is Conley's top arc distribution, Gasol Jr.'s high post support, Randolph's low singles and Gay's mid-range singles, simple. rough.

Rotation lineup offense is Sun Ce and Jr.'s pick-and-roll as the core play, which is simpler...

The NCAA game is very tactical!

The eighth-ranked team in the Southeast Division of the University of Memphis, and the ninth-ranked team in the Southeast Division at Marquette University, is also quite average in strength, but the tactical cooperation is very good!

The fans at the scene were very enthusiastic from the beginning of the game.

At least during the regular season, the fans of the Grizzlies will not be so enthusiastic at the beginning of the game. The cheers of the fans on the scene can be described as manic. As a player, Sun Ce feels excited when he hears such cheers, and really wants to go up Masochistic...

It's a great feeling indeed, neither team is likely to have a chance to enter the Sweet Sixteen of March Madness, the winner between them will play Georgetown University, the number one in the Southeast with Greg Monroe, in the Round of 32 Game, Georgetown University slaughtered opponents 81 to 49 yesterday,

And neither team has a player who can match Monroe.

But it is precisely because of this, precisely because of the impossibility, and precisely because neither team has any players who can gain a foothold in the NBA, and they are simply working hard for the basketball dream, that makes so many fans crazy!

In an elimination match, no one can say how it will end, what if the hell happens?

In 2008, no one expected the University of Memphis to reach the finals all the way.

Because the fans have basically never played professional leagues and have no chance to play professional leagues, so they can empathize more!

The most important thing is the game between the University of Memphis and Marquette University... The ticket price is several times higher than the Grizzlies' non-popular game at home, and it has caught up with the ticket price of the Grizzlies' home game against the Lakers!

...

The fans worked hard to cheer for the University of Memphis, but unfortunately, the University of Memphis lost to Marquette University 61 to 65 and stopped in the top 64.

After Rose left the University of Memphis, the University of Memphis failed to continue to create miracles for two consecutive years.

In this way, when Sun Ce went to watch the game, he just held the mentality of not watching for nothing...

But it smells so good after reading it!

As a tactical enthusiast who holds "Basic Understanding of Tactics" and "Encyclopedia of Pick-and-Roll Tactics" all day long, Sun Ce has seen a lot of tactics in the two universities. understanding.

Of course, NCAA tactics are directly copied to the NBA, and basically they cannot be played.

But you can learn from it!

As the core of the rotation lineup, the goal is to become the real core of a team. If Sun Ce wants to strengthen himself in all aspects and learn more tactics, it must be a good choice.

...

Both the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies' preparations were affected, because the arena was handed over to the school teams of the University of Memphis and Marquette University from the afternoon of the 4th, and neither team was preparing for the game on the afternoon of the 4th.

To make way for the NCAA, the NBA will suspend the game for one day at the beginning of April every year, and it is specifically to cooperate with the NCAA to suspend the game on the final day of the next year decided in July every year.

A preparation day for the regular season, of course, has to make way for the NCAA.

The Grizzlies management is also eager for this, because there are 27% of the tickets.

However, preparations are affected, but the Grizzlies have the advantage. During the training day on the 2nd, the coaching staff of the Grizzlies took this into consideration. The most important thing is to prepare for the game against the Trail Blazers. The tactical meeting and tactical training on the morning of the 4th are just to make more preparations.

As for the Trail Blazers, they arrived in Memphis yesterday and wanted to rent the arena of the University of Memphis. The University of Memphis said that the arena is being renovated...in fact, it is to change the wallpaper...

We are all our own people, so we must help our own people.

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, the Grizzlies are expected to make the playoffs this year, and the local playoff atmosphere in Memphis is getting stronger and stronger.

This kind of off-court interference, although the Trail Blazers are confused by the fact that the fans of the Grizzlies, a hillbilly team, have such a trick in the regular season, it is not surprising. They are a traditional strong team that has won championships. There is a group of veterinarians in the new century, and it does not affect that they are a traditional strong team with 11 retired jerseys.

And less training for half a day is considered a rest...

At six o'clock in the afternoon on the 5th, the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers started.

Sun Ce looked at the opposing starting lineup of Andre Miller, Jerry Bayless, Roy, Juwan Howard, and Camby...

How did this lineup beat the Lakers the day before yesterday?

It's too awful!

If the Trail Blazers hadn't made up their minds to use their head guard Steve Blake as a core bargaining chip to trade Camby from the Clippers, they would not have a center...

Oden was reimbursed after playing a total of 21 games this season, Przybilla was reimbursed after playing a total of 30 games this season, Aldridge played as a center for a few days after the All-Star Weekend, and he will miss more than a week with a thigh muscle strain... …

Had it not been for the trade deadline when Aldridge was injured, the Trail Blazers had eaten the last rookie bonus of Roy and Aldridge, and replaced Camby with Blake in time, they would only have the 37-year-old Juwan -Howard and Shavlik Randolph, who averaged 1.3 points and 0.3 rebounds per game, are two insiders.

But even if the injury is like this, the Trail Blazers actually played 4 wins and 4 losses in 8 games after the All-Star Weekend. Now they rank seventh in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 23 losses. Team Rocket...

The main reason is that the Lakers are in trouble. They feel that the Blazers are full of injuries and look down on the Blazers. They played casually in the first three quarters and thought they could come back in the fourth quarter. As a result, the opponent Roy scored 14 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter and hit key goals in a row.

But the Grizzlies didn't make waves like the Lakers. Of course, they didn't have the capital to make waves. Randolph played against his old club and went inside from the beginning!

In the first half of the first quarter, Randolph scored 7 points and 3 rebounds, and caused Camby to make two fouls.

Camby was too short to jump up and wanted to block shots and grab rebounds, and Randolph took advantage of that.

After the official timeout, when Sun Ce came off the bench, the Grizzlies led the Blazers 14-9 by 5 points!
