Chapter 204 As a short insider, he has no other weaknesses except being short.

What are the characteristics of Millsap?

As a typical short insider, it can be said that apart from being short, Mi Shen has almost no weaknesses.

Full of energy, excellent rebounding ability, excellent half-volley skills, mid-range shooting, three-point ability, long wingspan, strong strength, excellent jumping, and can play with both faces and backs to the basket. He is what any team desires.

A puzzle player.

He suits almost every team.

So, does Millsap have no flaws? Is he the perfect player?

Of course not, anyone as strong as Jordan has his own shortcomings.

Millsap's shortcomings are that his footsteps are not fast enough, he has little ability to control the ball, and his foul control is relatively weak.

It's really gone now.

Those four seasons with the civilian Hawks were the most glorious moments of Mi Shen's career. He could do everything, score, rebound, organize, block, steal...

You can see him almost everywhere on the court.

By acquiring Millsap from the Jazz, the Grizzlies' interior depth has been greatly strengthened, and at the same time, they have also reduced their somewhat surplus number of outsiders.

He can almost seamlessly fill the position left by Randolph's injury, and his defensive ability is even better than the somewhat lazy Randolph.

It just so happens that this game is the Grizzlies vs. the Mavericks at home.

Li Ran burst into tears, finally he no longer had to defend the opposite star player.

The German king's golden rooster independence has reached its peak, and Li Ran really doesn't want to spend a whole game defending such a shot that is simply out of reach.

This arduous task is left to you, Mi Shen!

In this game, the Mavericks' Josh Howard and Caron Butler were absent due to injuries, so in this game, Rick Carlisle sent Eric Dampier, Nowitzki, and Shawn Marion.

, the starting combination of Jason Kidd and Rodrigue Beaubois.

For the Grizzlies, Curry, Iverson, Li Ran, Millsap and Gasol are starting.

Rarely, on the back line, the Grizzlies did not suffer a loss in this game.

The old Kidd now relies almost entirely on his own experience and body to play. His movement speed has dropped drastically, but Curry still has no problem dealing with him.

Beaubois, a defender born in Pointe-à-Pitre on the French island of Guadeloupe, is this year's No. 25 pick.

His height is only 1.83.

Iverson said that in this high-end game, he finally met a guard who is about the same height as him...

In this game, the outside world generally believes that the matchup between Marion and Li Ran, as well as the matchup between Millsap and Nowitzki will directly determine the outcome of the game.

Hacker's style is very similar to Kirilenko's. When he was young, he relied on his incredible physical fitness to run rampant and was one of the top wing defenders in the league.

But now, Marion is older, and is also limited by the decline in movement speed, and can no longer exert the same defensive pressure as he did a few years ago.

He can only be considered a qualified starter in the Mavericks now, averaging about 12+7 per game.

The German King is now at the peak of his career. He averaged 26+8 per game last season and is undoubtedly the league's top star.

As for Dampier...this guy is more of a joke.

This guy has rough skills and extremely strong strength. His bench press is second only to O'Neal and Ben Wallace. He is an important member of the peak Mavericks headband gang.

Dampier's appearance is mature and steady, and in terms of strength, he is also "a thermos hanging on his butt - a water bottle with a butt".

But this guy's big mouth made him make a lot of jokes.

For example, he claimed to be the "second center in the Western Conference" back then.

And in his eyes, the number one center in the Western Conference is "Shark" O'Neal.

As for Yao Ming who is in his prime?

who is he?

Like a slap in the face plot in a classic novel, after making such bold statements, Dampier was repeatedly slapped in the face by reality.

He was first beaten by Yao Ming against the Rockets. The Eastern giant ruthlessly scored 13 of 14 shots, 33 points and 8 rebounds on his head, almost treating him like air.

Then against the Suns, Stoudemire scored 40 points and 16 rebounds.

The second center in the Western Conference, right?

Who recognized it?

He has been in the league for so many years, but he only scored in double figures in two seasons and rebounded in double figures in one season. After coming to the Mavericks, he only averaged 5+7.

Xiaojia faced off against him. Relying on the European's unique soft touch and excellent technique, as well as his broad body and excellent strength, Li Ran had no worries that he would be at a disadvantage in the matchup.

Li Ran stood opposite Dampier unceremoniously and grabbed the ball with a winning attitude.

Much like the Grizzlies in the previous games, the Mavericks' defense relied almost entirely on Marion alone.

But with Li Ran taking up almost all of Marion's energy, Iverson showed no pressure when facing the Mavericks' defense.

Beaubois is about the same height as Iverson, but in terms of breakthrough skills and dribbling and ball control, he is not at the same level as his opponent.

Iverson broke into the inside with an easy CrossOver.

Kidd, who is getting older and stronger, rushed over to cover the defense.

But Iverson seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and passed the ball to Curry who was standing on the outside and was missed by Kidd.

Curry shot with open hands and steadily hit an open three-pointer, opening the scoring for the Grizzlies.

Looking back, Kidd steadily passed the ball to Nowitzki who was in the high post.

Kidd, who has been playing in the league for fifteen years, now stands out as a stable player. You can hardly find any flaws in him. Even his passing is unpretentious and accurate.

Nowitzki received Kidd's pass in an almost perfect position. He pushed Millsap back and then showed off his signature skill of Golden Rooster Independence.

Coupled with Nowitzki's massive fallback and his height, this ball is almost impossible to defend.

In other words, whether he makes it or not depends entirely on Nowitzki's touch.

Obviously, in the early stages of the game, Nowitzki's touch was good, and the ball hit the back edge of the basket and hit the ball steadily.

Then it was time for the calf to have a headache again.

As long as Li Ran didn't move, Marion wouldn't dare to move.

Li Ran ran to the bottom corner to smoke, causing Marion to almost disappear on the court.

Then Kidd and Beaubois on the outside are sitting on the wax.

Neither of them can defend themselves.

You can think that these two people are Curry and Iverson, or you can think that these two people refer to Kidd and Beau Bois.

It focuses on the broad and profound Chinese language.

This situation in the Mavericks should last until the arrival of boxing champion Tyson Chandler.

In the following period, the situation on the court turned into a scene between Nowitzki and Iverson Gacury.

As mentioned before, whether Nowitzki's Golden Rooster can advance independently basically depends on his own touch, but in the high-intensity confrontation with Millsap, the German King cannot always maintain his touch.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies firmly held the advantage on the field.

23-28, the Grizzlies lead by five points at home.

Nowitzki scored 12 points in a single quarter. On the other side, Curry made 3 of 4 three-pointers, Iverson made 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points.

Li Ran only scored two points and had only two rebounds in the first quarter, as if he had disappeared from the court.

But everyone knows that it was precisely because he tied up Marion, the Mavericks' only defensive strength, that made the Grizzlies play so comfortably in the first quarter.
