1390. Strategy is restricted (Part 1)
It is a kind of confidence to attack at the beginning, but it is actually a gambling experience.
The Lakers won the bet this time, and Leonard's offensive rebounding is also very important. It can be said that Kobe is lucky to score 8 points in a row, but this is based on his strength and condition. He has no strength.
I can't grasp the good luck either.
After discussion, Coach Hollins decided not to rush to adjust the lineup. The way they wanted to play at the beginning had just begun to be implemented, and it was not time to verify it. There was only an accident at the beginning, and the main purpose of the suspension was to interrupt.
Kobe's consecutive scores.
After the timeout, neither team made a substitution, and the Grizzlies attacked.
In fact, the Grizzlies started offensively, scoring two goals in three offensive rounds, and they were all scored by Randolph. After Sun Ce lifted the ball to Randolph, he immediately cut in, Randolph attracted Jordan.
Hill's contraction defense was given to Gasol, a young step outside the free throw line.
At this time, Sun Ce happened to cut in with Leonard. Leonard saw Gasol young and immediately made up for the ball when he received the ball in an open space. Sun Ce took the opportunity to rush straight to the basket!
When Sun Ce was about to enter the three-second zone from the low position on the right side of the three-second zone, Gasol seized the opportunity to give it to Sun Ce. Randolph ran away directly when he saw this.
Josh Smith followed him out, Jordan Hill was not stuck, avoiding fouls, and Sun Ce easily made a layup and scored two points.
Sun Ce's deterrence is getting stronger and stronger!
The so-called deterrent force is not only about attracting and attacking, but also sometimes it also allows the other party to give up blocking and prevent it in specific circumstances, so that it can easily score.
For example, James or Kobe and Wade when they were young, if they did not encounter obstacles on the outside, they would not be able to defend themselves and would not be able to block them like Duncan, so they would not be able to defend themselves and would not be able to stick them in order to avoid eating.
Foul or as background.
This season, Sun Ce has gradually shown such a deterrent force!
With very smooth tactical cooperation, this lineup is not playing fast. If there is no external touch explosion in one quarter, it is difficult to get a high score of 30 points.
But the victory lies in stability! Every point can pass and shoot, and there is also defense, which can put certain restrictions on the Lakers.
The Grizzlies are mainly team-based. When they attack the Lakers, Kobe wanted to continue playing, and he only made 4 shots. It was rare to play like this at the beginning of the game. He was not satisfied yet.
But Klay Thompson started the front defense, and Sun Ce also stopped at mid-range to prepare for a slitting attack.
Paul took advantage of this and waved to Leonard to the high position, allowing Sun Ce to move from the middle distance of the bottom line to close distance of the three-second zone. Josh Smith took the opportunity to cut back and get Paul's pass. When Sun Ce took it back
Trolley layup...
The opportunity was good, but Josh Smith was too afraid of Sun Ce's blocking and deliberately pulled the ball but failed to make the ball. Sun Ce defended the defensive rebound.
Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and pushed slowly. Fortunately, Josh Smith had extra trolley. If this guy dunked directly, he wouldn't have any way to defend himself.
To block Kobe, the others in the Lakers have more scoring opportunities.
But the Lakers' start-up trick is really good. If you know in advance, it's nothing. The key is that this is in the game and it has already been effective. The Lakers have taken the initiative, and Sun Ce is quite passive.
.
Continuing his previous play, Leonard did not make up for Gasol Jr. This time, Sun Ce was close to the point where Gasol Jr. missed the mid-range shot after Randolph.
The Grizzlies immediately retreated and fell to the defense.
It is obvious that Klay Thompson replaced Tony Allen to start, and the Grizzlies' offensive cooperation has been much smoother, and shooting opportunities have become better mainly depends on their ability to seize opportunities.
Moreover, this lineup has a good defense. Although it is slightly inferior to Tony Allen's defense when he was there, it can still put some restrictions on the Lakers. It is just that Kobe, who has played at the start, encountered some trouble.
Such adjustments were made based on the difficulties encountered in the first and third games, the first two regular season matches, as well as the experience of failing to change the formation in the third regular season match.
Other teams and Nash's lineups are not many that can compete with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian, but there are still many.
And they are so dying, two of which happened to be a continuous fight in the playoffs.
The Grizzlies' strongest offensive lineup may not be as good as the Lakers... It is even likely that they will not even compete with the core combination of Paul and Josh Smith + Kobe's Lakers; and playing defense, the first time in the last game
He lost 8 points in the quarter. When Paul and Josh Smith were in excellent form, they had to strengthen the offense, but at the same time they could not ignore the defense, so this lineup was sent.
But good things get a lot of trouble, and I get 5 points behind at the beginning. The Lakers have shown their momentum. The Grizzlies can only work hard to catch up with points, and they have to try to adjust their mentality. Don’t worry, and slowly grind them.
Fortunately, grinding the rhythm is the characteristic of the Grizzlies. It is stable and at least it has not allowed the Lakers to further widen the gap.
The Lakers, who were 7 points ahead of 26 to 19, were called a timeout.
Kobe was replaced, Paul, JR Smith, Ci Shiping, Jamison, and Josh Smith's lineup were replaced.
On the Grizzlies, Nash brought Jimmy Butler, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian and Lopez Jr. to the court.
...
The suspension is about to end, and he is forced to start running and bombing again. Sun Ce feels it is too difficult!
More than 9 minutes, the Grizzlies scored 19 points. Compared to the previous game, it was obvious that their offensive stability was very good this time, and the Lakers scored 16 from the 7 minutes after the first two minutes of the first quarter.
The Grizzlies scored 15 points, and they were evenly matched.
But the Lakers scored 10 points in the first two minutes, while the Grizzlies only scored 4 points.
Just one and a half minutes after Kobe broke out, the Grizzlies were in a passive state at the beginning.
The Lakers took advantage of Kobe's threat to make the feeling come true.
Looking at the poor version of Kobe + Ci Shiping's forward and guard combination on the opposite side, Jamison, who is the best sixth man level.
Keep going!
Now they can only keep the score tight, and the game has only been played for less than a quarter. They need to wait patiently, fight hard, and find opportunities to counterattack.
After the timeout, Jamison came up and made a first shot from the bottom line, two points missed. Lopez Jr. took the defensive rebound and passed it to Nash. In the counterattack, Yi Jianlian took advantage of Sun Ce's threat to catch the ball and cut into the catch. Sun Ce's pass and took the ball and gave the basket.
Scored two points.
5 points difference!
But looking back, JR Smith faced Jimmy Butler's defense and tilted back three-pointer!
Kobe at least considers the touch problem, and JR-Smith comes up and does it!
Chapter completed!
