Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

In the third quarter, the Mavericks' offensive rhythm was interrupted due to Curry's messing around, but they had agreed to let things go, so no one cared about it. However, there was no let-up on the offensive end, but not on the defensive end. The scores of both sides increased during the entire quarter. It was horribly slow and ended at 21:22. The Mavericks actually took the lead by 1 point even as the main players retired in turn.

Returning to the Mavericks rest area, the boss of Tuozuoli was a lot older, but he was beaten badly by his teammates. Even though he had not yet reached the level of two-iron rotation, he was dragged down by Kidd, and in the final quarter... the Mavericks It was really a full substitute game, and none of the starting main players came on.

Dallas training? !

To be honest, a strong team is not only strong with its main lineup, but the depth of the rotation lineup also plays a considerable role in the outcome of the game, because the variables on the field are always unpredictable, and rotation is essential, either The main force is in poor condition, or there is a need for tactical changes. Rotation is always the most important part.

Therefore, the final quarter was handed over to Garnett and four substitutes. The reason why Garnett was brought on...on the one hand was for his debut performance, and on the other hand, he really needed to hone his actual combat skills.

…

The break is over and it’s back to the game.

Because the Mavericks' betrayal was already obvious, the Grizzlies also sent out the entire main lineup in order to save face, and the Mavericks rotated against the Grizzlies' entire main lineup. Many clues can be seen from the beginning of the final quarter.

The Grizzlies' offense is still the same, with less coordination and more isolations. However, without the Mavericks' main force, the offense finally picked up. As for the Mavericks... Garnett's qualifications are not yet considered to be a team leader. But he still showed excellent efficiency on the offensive end. His singles were basically mid-range with his back turned, and his shooting rate continued to be stable as before. What can be seen is that the position and height of the shot he chose every time were very difficult. Allow opponents to form effective interference.

At the same time, because of Li Shengli's absence, the Mavericks' interior dropped sharply by two levels, but also because of this, Garnett was able to show off his rebounding ability and relieve the pressure on substitute center Donald.

Rebounding data?

To be honest, predicting the landing point has always been the most critical part of rebounding. Although Garnett does not fight inside, his positioning makes the offensive and defensive area very large. Unless it is landing under the basket, otherwise it is slightly outside. Basically no one can compete with Garnett's 211 rebounds.

Insiders who have height are not as fast as him; outsiders who are faster than him are not as tall as him.

Stable offense, exaggerated help defense area, and good rebounding ability. Li Shengli and Kidd have seen Garnett's future offensive and defensive comprehensiveness. Maybe he will be weaker than others in one aspect, but overall, he is top-notch. Potential, because no matter what situation occurs or what matchup is encountered, Garnett can play a great role in the team.

…

In the final quarter, we played until the last 3 minutes.

In fact, the Mavericks' rotation is not very explosive, but on the defensive end because of Garnett's exaggerated defensive area, the team's relative efficiency is higher than in the third quarter, and Garnett himself is also playing smoothly. The Grizzlies were completely unable to suppress his offense.

"Li, have you seen it? Our rotation seems to be about the same. If we maintain this intensity, I believe that other teams will not take advantage in the rotation in the future. This kid Lei Jie can be a top player after getting used to it for a while. No, McLeod and Lorenzo won't be in the starting lineup, but they will have more than enough rotation time!" Kidd looked serious, as he always does when discussing team lineup issues.

Li Shengli nodded, with fire in his heart and light in his eyes, "I see, there is really no big problem with the rotation of the lineup. You and I can stagger the rest, and no matter who is on the court, we can stabilize the situation in a short period of time, and now with Kai The addition of Wen... this kid is really too comprehensive, both offensive and defensive, and we have enough choices during the gap period of our main rotation."

"You are right, but the problem now is that one game can reveal Kevin's level, especially when facing an opponent like the Grizzlies. I am worried that as the intensity of the game increases, his performance will be limited."

"It doesn't matter, this game has proven our competitiveness, and also proved that Kevin can play, and the rotation lineup can also play. Next...it's our performance time!"

"I don't know if it's a performance or not, but the next game is against the Knicks. Kevin is going to face someone like Oakley. I can only hope that he won't be scared!" Kidd was a little worried, because who is Oakley? As we all know, the statistics are not huge, but the fighting is superstar level, and this personality determines his wild style of play, and he is also the only muscular fourth position Garnett is afraid of.

Oakley?

Li Shengli also had a headache thinking about this man.

It's okay to have him play against himself, but it's not a small problem to have him play against Kevin. After all, when he was in the Jazz, Stockton was tricked by Oakley and was reimbursed for the season. The subsequent games were very difficult, and if Garnett was also targeted by him... Not only did he destroy Garnett, he also destroyed the hope that Li Shengli had just seen!

"Pray that Oakley will be a good person."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"Then there's no need for everyone to be kind, right?"

…

The Mavericks' debut of the new season is finally over.

Li Shengli only played two quarters, and the rest of the time was given to Gordon for training. In the third quarter, Curry insisted on playing tricks and was beaten hard by his teammates. In the fourth quarter, Garnett was present. Playing a full quarter with a rotating lineup, the game ended with a score of 20:31 in the final quarter.

The full score was 61:130.

The Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies by 69 points, breaking the record of 68 points for the largest single-game score difference in NBA history. No one would doubt...if the Mavericks did not let go, this point difference would even be It will continue to expand to the terrifying 80+.

Li Shengli had 36 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks, which was quite comprehensive; Kidd had 11 points, 10 assists, and 3 rebounds, a standard economic double-double; both had data in two quarters, and Kidd was beaten by Curry in the third quarter. It doesn't matter if the anus explodes.

As for Curry... he had 15 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. He also had a triple-double. He killed four teammates for 10 assists. He simply stole from his teammates for 10 rebounds.

The most amazing thing was Garnett in his debut!

22 points in the first half, 5 points in the third quarter, and 8 points in the fourth quarter, totaling 35 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Playing for about three and a half quarters is a bit much, but this data is tight. Chasing Li Shengli was astonishing for a rookie.

And the rookies of the same class who played on the same day.

Joe Smith, the Warriors' top pick, scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 shot against the Rockets.

Antonio McDyess, the Nuggets' second pick, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 shot against the Lakers.

Jerry Stackhouse, the No. 3 overall pick at 76, scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Rasheed Wallace, the Bullets' fourth pick, scored 76 and scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Maybe it would be unfair to compare data and single games, because none of these four players has played as much time as Garnett, but comparing the contribution rate per unit of time, Garnett is still firmly number one, let alone assisting in defense. The contribution has not yet been reflected in data.

Generally speaking, Garnett's potential is enough to be ranked among the top three in the 1995 draft. The only problem is that he is too young. In the Mavericks... because of Li Shengli's existence, Garnett's growth time has been greatly reduced. shortened.
