Average of 2.3 three-pointers, with a 44.3% catch-up three-point shooting percentage, which is Leonard's 3-point shooting percentage in seven games in the second round. He hardly scored three-pointers in singles

Singles are all mid-range face frames or back baskets.

But when playing around James, Leonard practiced very well with three-pointers! And he found this style of playing in the tug-of-war with the Spurs!

The reason why Marion has secured the starting position in the playoffs is because his threat of pulling away from the sideline after pick-and-roll can help James deal with the opponent's inside defense. Marion averaged 8.6 points per game in the second round, except for Zhanlunko.

Outside the group, the Lakers' most stable point.

Marion and Leonard played an important role in playing against the Spurs. Of course, Kobe's threat is the basis. On this basis, Marion and Leonard raised James's operating space.

Nene's athletic ability has declined relatively quickly. He wants to make a layup with the fast break and force the dunk when eating cakes. He can do it, but he wants to use the fast break arrow as a fast break arrow like in previous years.

It's a little difficult for him.

When I played against the Grizzlies in the regular season this season, the cooperation between James and Nene was restricted by the Grizzlies.

Old Bickstaff always thinks of a solution. Marion has no chance to play in the regular season, and he averages only 11 minutes per game and only played 45 games. However, Marion's role in the playoffs suddenly appeared, dealing with the Spurs.

It's very useful with the Grizzlies!

This is also due to an opportunity. Ed Davis, the first round of the Jazz team, was injured. This was nothing. The Lakers have power forwards, but Boozer now can only play centers. Duncan has a limit on other people's defense.

Before, Marion was activated. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Old Bixtaff made a quick decision to use the characteristics of Marion and has been used until now.

Although the Lakers are not good at playing team fast attacks, and fast attacks are limited to defensive counterattacks, they retreat quickly and are also good at suppressing the rhythm. The Grizzlies cannot rely on the speed advantage of the outside trio to counterattack.

The Grizzlies expected this, but they didn't expect that after the opponent arrived at the Western Conference Finals, they would make James' organizational offensive selectiveness more abundant.

But the Grizzlies like to play against the Lakers. Young teams like the Warriors like to play with some flowers, especially those who like to speed up, and they can speed up and speed up, which makes them crazy. Even the Grizzlies can't stand it when they get crazy.

But the Lakers are different. Although Old Bickstaff is difficult to predict, when Kobe is on the court, Old Bickstaff will not speed up. Kobe can rely on rhythm changes in positional battles, grasping time difference, and breaking through explosions

Speed ​​creates shooting space and doesn't look slow.

But if Kobe really wants to play fast offense and defense... the opponent will be very happy.

Paul George advanced to the frontcourt and fell steadily into the positional battle. First, he gave the ball to Aldridge.

Starting the second round of the playoffs this season, Aldridge understood his flaws. Who made him never play so far in the playoffs before? He didn't know that he was not developing enough at a low post, and his flaws in the playoffs.

.

Marion learned from the defense of Gerald Wallace and Salinger. Aldridge played very uncomfortable and did not create room for a turnaround. He made a strong jump shot and failed!

James protects defensive rebounds, Aldridge's mid-range shot master, knows if he doesn't make any moves, so he quickly retreats. He has made up his mind to strengthen his low post this summer, although he will turn 30 in July, 9

There is no progress in the low level at the year, but this kind of thing is not afraid of being too late, but I am afraid of not wanting to change, I want to change, and I dare to change, and I will make the goal of becoming better if I change. As long as I do it, it will not be bad!

The Grizzlies were in a passive position at the beginning, and the Lakers used the pick-and-roll cooperation between James and Marion in the positional battle to create long-range shots for Kobe or Leonard.

With Sun Ce here, the Lakers reduced their mid-range shots. Kobe and Leonard were on the three-point line and made an extra shot. However, the Lakers, who played so well in the last three games of the second round, feel good and dare to

This bet, and the bet is right!

The Grizzlies' offense that fell into positional battles was hindered. From playing against the Warriors to playing against the Lakers now, many Grizzlies fans have learned why Aldridge is such an excellent inside swinger, during the Trail Blazers' period.

No one mentioned him in the playoffs, and all those mentioned were Roy, Lillard, and even Batum, Matthews, and Aldridge.

Although the shooting area is close to Nowitzki and Garnett, Aldridge's high-level shooting is still slightly worse than these two people. When it comes to tough playoffs, it looks more prominent! The shooting rate plummeted, and it can be found in some

He played a beautiful offense during the game, but during the Trail Blazers, he had no veterans and no excellent coach to guide him to use his physical advantages, namely his wingspan and feel, and he focused on strengthening his scouts in the draft.

The development of the high-level space shooting power forward's playing style mentioned in the report.

He is really not suitable for him to fight hard now. The Trail Blazers have not gone far in those years. Aldridge, the core insider, actually has to bear a lot of responsibility, but the most fundamental thing is that he is not like Roy and Lillard at all.

The Brave Blazers coaching staff and management are valued by them, so the two of them can only be blamed for being too outstanding.

Aldridge was very miserable by Salinger and Gerrard Wallace in the second round, and was unable to get into the basket by Artest in the 2009 playoffs, and the outside line was not very good.

Even if you can't get any chance or rebound, you're targeting the Lakers now.

The Grizzlies can only let Sun Ce and Paul George take the lead. Fortunately, Aldridge has a set-point mid-range shot threat, and without the ball can also restrain the opponent's defense. He also discovered his own problems after the second round.

This problem cannot be improved for a while, so start with the style of playing. After two singles are not effective, I actively help the team with no ball.

The Lakers took the initiative at the beginning, and the Grizzlies were 6 points behind at the beginning, and then they could only rely on Sun Ce and Paul George to keep the score tight and not be pulled apart.

The attack with Aldridge as the starting point failed again. Marion scored more than 4 minutes to rest, and Wesley Johnson continued to play...

Fortunately, at 5 minutes and 11 seconds, the Grizzlies took the initiative to call for a timeout and replaced Aldridge with Yi Jianlian. The space was even more widespread. The main reason was that Yi Jianlian's cutting-in threat was much stronger than Aldridge. Sun Ce's point

It was activated. When the score difference was widened to 9 points, it scored two three-pointers in a row, which also led Klay Thompson to make a three-pointer. The two scored a 9-4 wave and made the score difference again.

It narrowed to less than 5 points, but Kobe randomly made a three-pointer before the game. When he hit 10 minutes and 03 seconds in the first quarter, the Grizzlies were 7 points behind 18-25, and the Grizzlies called a timeout again.

Entering the timeout stage, coach Hollins did not let Sun Ce continue playing this time, but was preparing to change routines. The combination of Livingston, Tony Allen, Paul George, Pierce, and Larry Sanders was replaced.

The Grizzlies are under great pressure now, and they started the home game with a bad start. They only scored 9 points in the first 6 minutes. After the timeout, they lost because of Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll cut. Sun Ce got the chance to score a three-pointer and then he clenched.

After the score, this caused the original high-pitched morale of the Grizzlies players to suffer some blows. There were Kobe and Leonard on the Lakers. A cold-blooded and brutal exuded a strong leadership aura, and a cold poker face calmly. The Lakers

Bian was not affected too much by Sun Ce's "King of the Western Finals" BUFF.

However, although the morale of the Grizzlies was hit, they were still very motivated. Sun Ce's "King of the Western Finals" buff still played a role in strengthening this effect.

After four or four, the Grizzlies regained their momentum, facing the Lakers' singles lineup Wayne Ellington, JR Smith, Leonard, James, Motieyunas, the Grizzlies

This is a very hard-working fight!

What cannot be destroyed at this time is fighting spirit and confidence. With Sun Ce here, teammates will have confidence. The gain effect of the "King of the Western Finals" strengthens the fighting spirit and confidence of his teammates.

In the last minute of the first quarter, the Grizzlies played a 6-2 wave! During this period, the Grizzlies fought hard, worked hard to play singles and attack offensive rebounds, and the Lakers only scored two points.

.

Tony Allen's defense against JR Smith, Pierce's defense against James, and Paul George's defense against James' defense!

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies were 24-27 behind the Lakers 3 points after entering the quarter break.

...

It is definitely a happy thing to narrow the score difference. At this time, the gain effect of the "King of the Western Finals" strengthens this mood!

After the second round, the Lakers team took two days off to continue playing in the Western Conference Finals and maintained their condition very well.

The Grizzlies have a much longer rest time and have more time to prepare, but they have to get into the best condition and be a beat slower than the opponent.

But under this situation, they still rely on their tenacious fighting spirit to bite the score tightly before the opponent sets off, curbing the opponent's rise. If it weren't for James' forced attack at the last moment of the first quarter

With the layup, Larry Sanders and Pierce hit the ball into the basket, the Grizzlies can narrow the gap to 1 point!

This made the Grizzlies full of confidence. Although they were not as fast as the opponent's, the coaching team's rotation timing was very good. They sent a strong lineup with single defense to deal with the opponent's single lineup at the last moment of the first quarter.

A very successful prediction was made, and the players also successfully narrowed the score difference...

This means that their pre-match preparations are effective!
Chapter completed!
