Chapter 96 - Contradictions broke out!
The game between the Grizzlies and the Pacers ended in a way no one expected. I don’t think the Pacers themselves expected that they would win such a freehand.
In the fourth quarter, the original FedEx stadium fans started to leave. They did not want to witness the fiasco of their team, and the cameras frequently swept the Grizzlies bench. The players’ expressions were dull.
Gasol lowered his head and didn’t know what he was thinking. Guy bit his fingernails and looked very anxious. Others were almost expressionless. Only coach Mark was walking back and forth anxiously.
“It’s really bad TMD.” Ji Feng covered the towel on his face. This is the most painful defeat Ji Feng has experienced since playing basketball. He was also disappointed with Mark. At a critical moment, he was never the first choice, and he For the defeat of this game, think that Mark is responsible for a large part!
85 points in the half, which also refreshed the Pacers’ historical half scoring record, and 140 points in the game, which also refreshed the scoring record so far this season. The score difference reached 40 points, which was the biggest difference of all preseason games this season.
As Yu Jia said in the midfield of the game: “Where did this game go wrong from the beginning, or the Grizzlies team’s weaknesses were finally exposed in this game, once the team lost its feel , Then they will have no way to recover the victory, because they have no defense at all, and the use of head coach Mark and the formation of troops is indeed debatable. “
Yu Jia said very directly, but it is indeed the epitome of this game. The most normal Grizzlies turned out to be Ji Feng, a first-year rookie. He made a foreign investment and scored 16 points. In addition, there were 3 steals. 4 Assists. But he was still just a substitute.
And Mark put on the starting lineup, Guy this sleepwalking game, 6-pointers made 2 of 6, 3 3-pointers 0, only got 2 points by free throws. Milicic scored 4 points on 2 of 11 and Lowry scored 5 points on 2 of 6.
Only Gasol got 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 free throws and 15 points, and Mike Miller got 5 of 9 shots to get 10 points is normal, and the shooting rate is more than 50%.
The hit rate of the rest of the people is really terrible.
“I don’t think anyone will question me now. The Grizzlies are not defending. Their defense system is a bit of shit. God, they actually let the Indians blow 140 points at their own home. Look. According to their statistics, the Indians included a shooting percentage of 61%, and the Memphis gave them 30 free throws. In addition, the Memphis turnovers also reached 19, which is really an amazing number. “
Barkley said on the commentary: “No one can win by giving the opposite opportunity this way.”
“Guy needs to think about what kind of basketball he should play. Not only did he perform badly on the offensive end today, on the defensive end, Granger seemed to be playing 2K. He scored 32 points and completely exploded Guy. “” Smith pointed directly at the lost Guy.
“The Grizzlies faced a great blow. Their ambitious idea of a career in the new season may have to be disintegrated before it is actually implemented.” ESPN’s commentary said.
The moment the final whistle sounded, the Pacers frantically celebrated, and the Grizzlies on the side went straight back to the locker room, did not greet anyone, and refused to shake hands with coach Mark, this scene was sidelined The media was captured, which was also interpreted as a signal by Gasol to pressure the management.
After returning to the locker room, the Grizzlies had a very depressed atmosphere. There was no trace of sound, and the normal communication normally disappeared today.
“SHIT!” Gasol suddenly broke out in silence, smashing the drink in his hand directly to the bathroom door panel, and the loud noise shocked everyone.
“Calm down, Paul.” Mark said at this moment.
But Ji Feng felt that Mark was definitely not a good idea to speak up.
Sure enough …
“Shit! We’re playing a bit of **** in this game! Mark, this is your response! You sent us our worst choice!” Angry Gasol pointed his finger at Mark’s platoon formation , Although not explicitly stated, but everyone knows who is said.
“Listen to Paul, no one is happy to lose, we just lack time, and I think you need to have more respect for the head coach!” Mark was also angry, and went up against Gasol.
Ji Feng and Kang Li looked at each other, they never thought that things would evolve into this way, but Ji Feng felt that they could not go on arguing like this, and all the reporters were outside. Once leaked, the Grizzlies team should be completely disbanded.
“Listen, guys, we are a team, let us calm down!” Ji Feng went up and pulled Gasol to prevent Gasol from punching Mark.
And the rest went up to separate them. Eventually the two parties broke up.
Ji Feng looked at Gasol, who left blankly. He knew that the Spaniard ’s confidence in the team and the coach had disappeared, and Mark, he also lost most of the people in the locker room trust.
“It’s going to change.” Ji Feng said in his heart that he had a hunch that this team would face a huge change before the new season had begun.
Ji Feng understands that the contradiction between Gasol and the head coach is irreconcilable ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ These two people will definitely go one or all of them, and the Grizzlies who walk the core will definitely face reconstruction. At that time, in order to maximize Gasol ’s interests, trading out is the only option. Whoever leaves or stays, no one can say badly.
After the press conference, Mark participated alone, and then faced a crazy attack from the media around the world.
Mainly focused on whether Coach Mark used Ji Feng improperly and the contradiction with Gasol. In the end, Mark, who was anxious, walked away directly, and wanted to get a lot of fines.
At this time, the impact of this failure became more and more fierce. The local media in Memphis slammed Mark’s employers, thinking that Mark’s persistent use of Guy was the main reason for this defeat.
What caused a sensation in the United States was that Gasol bluntly admitted that he was seeking to leave the team in an interview with Spanish media after the game!
“I don’t know my future now, I only know that I still belong to the Grizzlies, but who knows the future.” Gasol said in an interview.
“So what do you want to say about coach Mark’s employment.” The reporter asked again.
“No.” Gasol left directly with a black face.
Gasol ’s report quickly spread all over the world. At this time, everyone knew that the contradictions in this Grizzlies seemed to be irreconcilable, and the rest of the league were informed by the news, and they all sent the Grizzlies Make a quote!
In their eyes, the Grizzlies now is the opened player supermarket! Gasol is the biggest fish.
Where does Gasol go, will change the pattern of the alliance!
“It’s time.” Far away in Los Angeles, the well-respected Kupchak said to his assistant. In his eyes, he seemed to see the future of the Lakers’ rise.
