Chapter 51 The Strongest Talker - Gary Payton



Chapter 51 The Strongest Talker - Gary Payton

Each game can only be used four times. Xiao Tian understands the idea of ​​the system. If he wants to upgrade to the SSS+ level, it is best to use these skills in the system sparingly, because these things are external forces, and using too much will not be of great benefit to his own improvement.

"Then which one is more powerful, the Eye of Reality or the Soul of Ball Control?" Xiao Tian was curious about the comparison of these two skills.

"At this stage, the Eye of Reality is better, but the current Soul of Ball Control is only level 1, but if you upgrade to the full level of 20, the Eye of Reality is not worthy to lift his shoes."

Oh, the soul of ball control can also be upgraded. Xiao Tian is becoming more and more interested in these skills bestowed by the system, "The soul of ball control can be upgraded as an SSS+ skill. Is there a more advanced existence above it?" "

The system didn't answer, because Xiao Tian's question was beyond the system's cognition at this stage, so the system wisely chose to shut up.

Xiao Tian didn't delve into it, and continued to exercise his physical strength, because the next game would definitely be a tough one for the Grizzlies.

On January 1, the Grizzlies ushered in their first opponent in 3 at home - the Seattle Supersonics, the runner-up in the finals last season. The current record is 97 wins and 22 losses, ranking behind the Grizzlies. This is what many fans did not expect. Seattle's performance in the new season is so mediocre.

It cannot be said that they are average, but that the Western Conference this season is very miserable. The Rockets and the Jazz are currently the two big brothers in the Western Conference. The records of their two teams have left behind the teams by several games, and they are followed by the Grizzlies, Supersonics and Lakers. There is nothing surprising about the Supersonics and Lakers, but the record of the Grizzlies is a bit eye-catching: 23-8.

In this game, Payton started his performance again. Although it was in the General Motors Arena, the glove didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He looked at Xiao Tian while dribbling the ball, chattering endlessly. He was actually looking for opportunities to break through. Payton's organizational ability can only be regarded as top-notch among point guards.

"Rookie, I will beat you to the ground. Not only will I score 20 points on your head, but I will also send you 10 assists." The classic in this trash talk really appeared. Xiao Tian didn't move at all. His height was 5 centimeters higher than Payton's.

"Old bird, can you change to something fresh, I have memorized all your rubbish words backwards." Uh, Peyton was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Tian to say such a thing to himself, the last time he played against the Grizzlies, Xiao Tian didn't play at all because he was arguing with Jerry Sloan, and he missed a chance to test and teach the rookie.

Xiao Tian's reaction speed is absolutely top-notch. The moment Peyton was so dazed, Xiao Tian's hand came to Peyton's ball, and with a snap, the ball was directly knocked off.

Wilkins, who was on the other side with Hawkins, was ready. He received the ball and came to the frontcourt and completed a dunk. Payton's trash talk at the beginning had no effect, but instead allowed the Grizzlies to score.

Payton's eyes narrowed, and George Karl was still standing on the sidelines like a male model. Payton in this state was definitely an angry Payton, because Payton's trash talk was actually sprayed back by Xiao Tian, ​​which made Payton unable to calm down.

Payton is not a king of mouth like Weber, Miller, and Ross. He is a difficult guy, but who is Xiao Tian?

Payton stopped talking trash, but his offensive desire became stronger. Xiao Tian knew that this guy was not normal anymore, so he just took a look with the eyes of reality. Now this guy is hot-headed, and this is his chance.

In the first quarter, Xiao Tian began to cooperate with Wilkins. Whenever Payton got the ball, he would always let the film essence come over to double-team, because Payton would never pass the ball.

Wilkins did as he did, and the result was that the first quarter ended with the Grizzlies leading by 12 points at home. Xiao Tian got 5 assists and 3 steals. Although Payton scored 4 points, he made 5 turnovers. As a starting point guard, five turnovers in a quarter is absolutely fatal.

Because Payton's head was hot in the first quarter, in addition to 5 turnovers, there were 2 fouls. These two fouls were more serious than 5 turnovers.

Wilkins scored 10 points in the first quarter, and also had 2 steals. He played completely well, basically stealing the ball, or dunking after receiving the ball, just like playing a training game.

Jerry West kept nodding on the sidelines. Xiao Tian is really a monster. His ability to read the game is not ordinary. From this point, you can't tell that he is a rookie.

Payton sat on the bench, listened to George Karl's chatter, and gradually calmed down, "Gary, what are you doing, why don't you pass the ball, why are you obsessed with singles, although your body is better than the opponent, but the opponent is not defending alone at all, he will call a teammate, and why don't you call a teammate, and you Jose, why did you stand still and watch the show when Wilkins went to double-team the house?"

Schrempf and Sean Kemp sat on the bench and didn't speak. The coach George Karl's on-the-spot reaction, the two had experienced it in the finals last season. Although Phil Jackson on the opposite side was not a head coach who liked to call a timeout, his on-the-spot reaction ability completely left George Karl in several positions.

In the second quarter, the two sides came to the bench. Sam Perkins led a group of people to play. On the Grizzlies side, Paul Westphal did not put all the main players down, but kept Finley on the court.

Finley is completely a super scorer in the bench lineup. Facing the Supersonics' substitute Larry Stewart, he is all kinds of strong players. Although Sam Perkins is also scoring, he is still a lot worse than Jordan and Olajuwon. Although his skills are good, they are not at the top.
