Chapter 733 What a Thigh
Grant Hill has played very low key this season.
When Zhao Ke was not there, he would have had the opportunity to become the only core of the Memphis Grizzlies.
But he didn't because he was Grant Hill—
A humble, low-key man who maintained his perfection on and off the court.
With Grant Hill's golf quotient and experience, it is natural to see Zhao Ke's sacrifice and understand the coach's mind.
A scoring champion chasing 50 shots per game gave up the regular season.
Can he still brazenly be a ball bully?
Therefore, Grant Hill gave up the big stage to three rookies without hesitation.
Although he may also need blinding data to silence those trolls.
Together with Shane Battier, Grant Hill withdrew his brilliance in the 82 regular season games and became a dispensable green leaf, hovering on the edge of the team.
Until the team really needs him to stand up.
Like the end of the season, or today.
The three rookies may still be ignorant, and really think that everything is OK with Zhao Ke.
However, Grant Hill, who was once undisputedly the only hope of the whole village in both Detroit and Orlando, has already experienced Zhao Ke's difficulties from his own perspective.
And, stand up without hesitation!
Grant Hill didn't care about three-pointers at all early in his career.
Before this season, in his 12-year career, only in the last year of the Pistons due to injuries, he developed a three-point range and averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game.
In the other 11 years, even in the seven years when the Magic struggled with illness, his average three-pointers per game did not exceed 0.5.
In that era, he was the best small forward to break through.
Is the best small forward organization.
it's the best……
He never became a scoring champion, and he averaged 21 points per game when he was touted as Jordan's successor.
Why do so many people believe that he is Jordan's successor——
Instead of Pippen's successor?
Because he, like Jordan, is good at running in the transition of offense and defense, running with huge strides, and still maintaining balance.
And: his razor-slashing ball-handling breakthrough.
Therefore, Grant Hill is always breaking through the ball, or breaking through and bombing the basket. His career shooting percentage at the basket is as high as 71.4%. Why should he shoot a three-pointer?
However, this season's all-around fighter has changed.
On the one hand, he accepted the advice of the team doctor, and on the other hand, Zhao Ke's scoring method inspired him.
Grant Hill was synonymous with selflessness and omnipotence, and still is.
When there is no need to hold the ball to organize the offense, Grant Hill is more often used as a spot-up shooter to open up the offensive space for others...
After one season, his three-point shooting percentage is not bad!
This is the second way for a 35-year-old veteran to find out for himself after seven years of indomitable struggle with injuries!
Zhao Ke came on and replaced Clifford Robinson.
Greg Oden replaced Mourning.
Others remain unchanged, the Grizzlies lineup is:
Hei Bei, Hill, Zhao Ke, Shane Battier, Oden
Grant Hill was assigned a cameo at point guard, as he did in 1994-1995:
Jump the ball yourself.
Push yourself with the dribble.
Organize your teammates to run.
Break through with the ball by yourself——
Kill the opponent and turn his back on his back alone.
Or, throw a ecstasy second pass...
Compared with the single-minded Beverly, Grant Hill's organization is obviously more stable and full of imagination!
Rick Carlisle is full of hopes for this lineup, and he is not blind.
If this is the case, the situation cannot be opened.
Then pull it down, let Zhao Ke die!
Stan Van Gundy also adjusted in time. After one round, the Orlando Magic's starting five appeared on the court.
Magic's defensive strategy for Zhao Ke remains the same.
This is irrational.
However, Stan Van Gundy didn't have a choice --
From the very beginning of the game, he studded, and it was hard to stop...
Now, there is only prayer.
Pray that the other players of the Grizzlies are still in a mess!
Murphy's Law is the most marketable negative law in the world, and it makes sense.
What are you afraid of!
Grant Hill is undoubtedly extremely smart, he doesn't seem to have noticed that Zhao Ke has appeared.
He returned to his familiar trajectory.
Just like what the Orlando Magic did during their short-lived brilliance, they are often like a chef's sharp blade, shuttling through the jungle of elders with ease...
In the next game, Grant Hill didn't even pass the ball to Zhao Ke once!
Even if McGrady didn't keep up with Zhao Ke's footsteps in time, leaving a large space in fact, Zhao Ke still didn't get the basketball...
Not only that, but Grant Hill didn't pass the ball to anyone else.
He became one, a big domineering force!
Six consecutive offenses, Grant Hill went to the basket six times in a row and singled out Yao Bi.
Every time, his lonely figure is reminiscent of the omnipotent man in the Palace of Auburn Hills ten years ago!
Just like he did in his prime, drifting, pulling the bar, dunking...
This isn't a 35-year-old veteran, this is—
A hang up!
Rick Carlisle has jumped out of his seat.
Grant Hill succeeded in attacking, and he jumped up and down excitedly like a little boy!
"That's it! I just knew it! I just knew it! I just knew it..."
Carlisle waited too long for this leg of the Memphis Grizzlies to appear.
He was almost desperate, and Hill stood up:
In these six offenses, Grant True Thigh Hill made 6 of 4 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He hit Reggie Evans with a 2+1. While scoring 13 points, he also fouled Yao Bi twice!
This is no longer a question of whether to let Zhao Ke go or not!
Such Grant Hill also has the strength to beat the Orlando Magic on his own!
He forced the Orlando Magic to shift their defensive focus, and had to gradually withdraw the forces that double-teamed Zhao Ke in advance:
At first, McGrady, Nelson and Turkoglu guarded Zhao Ke like no one else.
After two rounds, Nelson broke away from the hunting team and followed in the footsteps of Grant Hill alone.
But it didn't work, Grant Hill was still unstoppable!
Yao Ni was replaced for the third foul and Milicic came on.
Turkoglu left Zhao Ke and participated in the encirclement and suppression of Grant Hill.
Still, it's useless!
When Grant Hill scored the 13th point, Stan Van Gundy was already shaking a bit. No matter how good the Magic is, they can't stand the toss of two bad guys!
He was going to try it out, and made a gesture to ask Mai Di to let Zhao Ke go.
He just wanted to know if Grant Hill was crazy, or?
Grant Hill smiled slightly:
You guessed right, we are attracting firepower for Ke Zhao!
The moment McGrady moved away, Grant Hill passed the ball——
Target, Zhao Ke!
