NBA: Garnett at his peak at the start

Because of the loss to the 76ers, the Lakers are also actively preparing for the next game against the Grizzlies.

Of course, there is one most important point that is not said...... Qi Ming was finally promoted to the starting point by the Zen master because of his excellent performance.

Now the Lakers' starters are Parker, Kobe, Odom, Qi Ming, and Mime, and this lineup has a high margin for error, all five of them have a certain scoring ability, and even the center Mime has a certain shooting ability.

Therefore, now the Lakers' interior line is a little crowded, and the number of big forwards is really a bit much, and Kwameburang, Cook, Jordan Hill and others must share a little bit of bench time.

Thankfully, Kwameburang and Jordan Hill can still play the No. 5 spot, otherwise Cook would have played less minutes.

......

Memphis, where the grizzlies are located, is a small, chilly city like Minnesota.

At the same time, they also have a common characteristic, the team is all an empty slash group leader, and they are all power forwards.

Truth be told, it's no wonder the Lakers tried to trade these two teams in 2007.

This is the tradition of the Lakers, the inside line relies on signing or trading, and the outside line relies on self-cultivation.

That's how West and Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic, Kobe and O'Neal came about.

The Grizzlies' home arena is called FedEx Arena, a new arena that can accommodate more than 19,000 people, but the Grizzlies' attendance is mediocre, mainly because the team's record is tepid, and they can't even make it to the second round of the playoffs.

Usually it's the first round that is swept.

Entering the FedEx Arena, the atmosphere at the Grizzlies' home court is good, compared to the hostile attitude of the 76ers, what you feel at the Grizzlies' home court is more of a frenzy.

Today's game is narrated by Ross Barkley and special guest Carl Malone.

Karl Malone doesn't actually have much affection for the Lakers, but because he has been with the Lakers for a year, he is also biased towards the Lakers in this game.

"The Lakers' current lineup is obviously much better than that of the Grizzlies, and Kobe, Qi, Odom, and Mime have been in hot form in recent games. "

"Only Parker is the starting lineup, and the bench is ...... There are more players who can play. "

"So I think the Lakers have a better chance of winning. "

Karl Malone said slowly in a deep voice.

"Yes, I think so too. "

"But I don't agree with the touch, the Grizzlies won the Hawks last time, and his hand was obviously hotter. "

Moreover, the Lakers lost to the 76ers in their last game, and their shooting percentage averaged not even 40 percent. "

"If the Lakers can't adjust, I think it's a five-five. "

"It's just because the Lakers are a little bit more individual, so I think the Lakers should be tougher in key moments. "

"But, you know...... If the Grizzlies have a big advantage in the early stages, they will still have a chance to win even if Pau Gasol's style of play softens. "

Barkley analyzed carefully.

"No, no, man, the 76ers won by four points in the last game. "

"As for why the 76ers only won by four points on 42.8 percent shooting, it was because they didn't have rebounds...... And the Lakers did a good job of defending in the last game, but the defense of the 76ers on the opposite side was better, and because of the feeling, they lost in the end. "

"Against the Grizzlies, I think they can adjust in time!".

Karl Malone retorted.

He and Barkley see things in completely different ways.

As one of the former "Four Villains", in fact, Malone and Barkley accumulated a little grudge in the game, but after retiring, the two did not have so many grudges.

That's why the two of them can sit here calmly and explain face-to-face.

But there are great differences in the concepts and opinions of the two, but this is a very normal thing, and it is not uncommon for there to be disagreements between the explanations.

Barkley and Kenny Smith, old partners, often spat each other out of opinion.

"Well, you have a point. "

In the end, under Barkley's half-pushed and half-agreed "confession", the game officially began.

On the Lakers' side, except for Qi Ming's replacement of Kwamebulang, the other four starting positions have not changed.

The Grizzlies' starters were ...... Point guard Damon Stoudemire, point guard Jones, small forward Sean Battier, power forward Pau Gasol, center White.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides started their debut, and Mime grabbed the jump ball with his height advantage.

In the first round, Parker broke through the ball, Bryant received the ball and cut into the bottom corner, and then passed the ball again.

"Bang".

Qi Ming on the inside line catches the ball and dunks violently, and the cooperation between them has become more and more skillful.

The current Qi Ming is an important interior pillar for the Lakers, and his status is far above Meme.
