The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 108 Levi's Revisiting His Old Place
When Tom Gugliotta entered the league, he came with the title of Larry Bird's successor. Like those Jordan successors, there were basically not many of them.

After playing the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies can finally return to their home court. The next two games will be at home. The team is also in the Northwest Division.

First of all, the Grizzlies will play the bottom one - the Denver Nuggets. This game will not start until the 21st, but at the same time, the Academy Awards also sent an invitation letter to Xiao Tian.

After the Nuggets, the Supersonics on the 23rd, and the Clippers away on the 25th, this schedule is designed to really cooperate with Xiao Tian. After the Supersonics game, go directly to Los Angeles, and then stay for one night at the Oscars, and then you can play in the Clippers. But there is a premise here, that is, the Supersonics game, not too tired. .

For the Nuggets at home, there are still a lot of spectators at the General Motors Arena for this game. Because of Mark Jackson’s season reimbursement for the Nuggets, the team can only find Brooks Thompson, who was waived by the Jazz, from the free market as the starting point guard. Now the Nuggets’ idea is very simple.

This is also the return of Brian Reeves, but the fans at the General Motors Arena have already thrown him to Java. His statistics this season have not improved, but have shrunk. He currently averages only 8 points and 5 rebounds per game.

The Nuggets must not lose this game. If they lose this game again, then Levi's really has no chance. Fagan is very clear about this, and Levi's is also clear, so he played very proactively at the beginning. However, the new point guard Brooks Thompson rarely passed the ball to him. He scored 5 points and 2 rebounds in the first quarter. His potential, this kind of player is a typical lack of care, and ordinary coaches can't control it at all.

Levi played well, but the Nuggets trailed by 7 points in the first quarter, which made Levi extremely unwilling. On the bench, he kept wiping away his sweat. Since playing basketball, he had never worked so hard like this one, but what he got in exchange for his hard work was his teammates turning a blind eye. How to say it, if you don’t work hard once, you don’t know what despair is. Now Levi thinks like this.

McDyess was very upset. His limelight in the first quarter was taken away by that idiot Levi's. From the perspective of a bystander, this guy does have more offensive means than himself, but so what, he is a stinky piece in the Nuggets. Unless you play very well, this kind of player will not be able to gain a foothold in the team.

Ben was alive and well in the first quarter, and he also scored 5 points and 4 rebounds, and these 5 points were all alley-oops. One of them was 2+1. The strange thing is that Ben actually made a free throw. I saw Elvin Hayes on the coach's bench with tears in his eyes. Ben, the god of hell, finally made a free throw. If he doesn't make it, he will go crazy.In the Grizzlies this season, what impressed me the most was Xiao Tian's learning ability, and the two rotten woods of Big Ben and Ratliff. These two guys seemed to have their brains blocked in terms of offense. They didn't have any ideas at all.

It was only later that I discovered that these two men had exhausted their strength. Their wrists were very stiff, and they couldn’t shoot very stretched. This is a common problem of many insiders in the league. When they were young, they were used as coolie blue-collar workers.

When he first came to the Grizzlies, Elvin Hayes still hoped that he would be able to find a successor, but looking at it now, unless Big Ben and Ratliff were reincarnated, otherwise, he would not be able to teach them for the rest of his life.

In the second quarter, the situation on the field didn’t change at all. Without Mark Jackson, the Nuggets didn’t even have a basic passer.

Dick Motta was very sad. He knew very well that this season was over and he was about to leave. Before the season started, when the Nuggets and the Grizzlies were in contact, he did have some illusions about Levi's, because this guy's style of play is really comprehensive, at least better than McDyess, so if he can be brought to the team, maybe he will be the next Unseld.

But the cruel reality woke me up with a slap in the face. Both Unseld and Olajuwon are legends and cannot be copied. Levi’s is not comparable to them except for their height. It won't be long before everyone will disappear, this is the sorrow of Brush.

The Nuggets played very tenaciously, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, and the game ended in the third quarter. Xiao Tian scored 15 points and 15 assists in the three quarters, while the Nuggets had a total of 9 assists in the three quarters. It would be unscientific for them to win like this.

At the end of the game, Levi's got the first 20+ of the season, but this exposed his essence even more. Like Gugliotta in the last game, he was a brush and won the Nuggets. The record of the Grizzlies came to 54-16. With 12 games left, the regular season ended.
