One Thousand and Eleven. Sniper Twenty-Three VS Twenty-Four!

Just double-team Kobe with all your might!

In the fourth quarter, coach Hollins, who judged that the opponent's physical strength could not survive the fourth quarter, promptly sent out a lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol.

Just block the basket, double-team Kobe, and cover the catchers and shooters if they can. In most cases, it doesn't matter if you can't cover. Except for Paul and Sessions, the Lakers' powerful players are all veterans. They can execute the strategic plan. It's very good. They need to be as tough as young players for a whole game... If they meet the Grizzlies in the second round, it might be okay, but after 7 games with the Spurs in the second round, they can't handle it now!

In the end, the Grizzlies scored 17-14 in the final quarter.

Kobe had 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Paul had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Gasol had 13 points and 8 rebounds. They were no match for Randolph who had 23 points, 10 rebounds, 22 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. Sun Ce had 1 steal, and Nash had 20 points and 6 assists.

The Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 91-87, making the score 2-0!

…

"We can win, we can solve the problem, I don't know what's going on with LeBron, but we can win, even though it's difficult to be down 2-0, but we can win."

In the locker room interview after the game, Kobe remained tough and firmly believed they could win.

But after the interview, no one was around, and Kobe let out a deep sigh.

He clearly felt that his team's inside line was not as good as last season.

Although there are three high-quality substitute insiders in Brand, Murphy, and McRoberts, without Bynum, Gasol alone is obviously not enough in the playoffs!

It's not that Gasol isn't good enough, it's a matter of age.

Gasol played very well in the regular season and was selected for the second team. However, problems began to appear when playing against the Spurs. Without Bynum to support the transition period, Gasol averaged more than 100 points per game. In the 38th minute, it was the same against the Grizzlies. Odom, Brand, Murphy, and McRoberts couldn't handle Randolph's singles.

And Gasol is more suitable for the style of play after the All-Star Weekend. At that time, with the outside playmaker Paul, Gasol reduced his ball control and playing time and only played 33-35 minutes per game. After the All-Star Weekend, Gasol increased his playing style. Sol played 30 times, averaged 34 minutes per game, and scored 20.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. Although the data was not as good as Paul's average of 21 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists before Paul's comeback, his playing time was reduced by 3 minutes, and his efficiency was greatly improved.

And when it comes to playing the Spurs and Grizzlies in the playoffs,

In a total of 9 games, he averaged close to 39 minutes per game. His shooting percentage dropped from 61% in the first round to 42%. He averaged 11.9 shots per game, only scored 12.5 points, and averaged only 12.5 rebounds per game. There are 9.

Although he defended Blair, Diaw, Split, Bonner, Randolph, Gasol and others very well, Gasol himself suffered a serious decline in offensive end.

He could have played slowly with the Grizzlies like he did in the first half of the first game and avoided these disadvantages, but Kobe didn't expect the Grizzlies to react so quickly. They only played half of the last game and were defeated. The guy on the other side who had more MVPs than him found their strategic target.

Yes, Kobe felt that Sun Ce's explosion in the second half of the last game was because he realized that the Lakers' physical reserves were insufficient and he could do it without using up.

In fact, he is fine personally. After Kobe changed his style of play, his consumption became even smaller. This season was almost the most efficient season of his career, and it was also the easiest season since O'Neal left the Lakers. But he was helpless. , Ci Shiping, Gasol, and Odom are getting older...

Kobe is unwilling to give in!

He heard rumors from Pelinka that if he fails to win the championship this season, the team management will rebuild with him and Paul as the core, using the Twin Towers' good performance in the regular season this season as a bargaining chip to rebuild, trying to reach his peak. Tails reorganized the championship lineup.

Kobe is actually very happy with the team's decision. Even at his age, the team still wants to help him form a championship lineup, but he really wants to win another championship with Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Ci Shiping.

But the Grizzlies on the opposite side took advantage of this shortened season, that is, their physical strength. When the strength was almost the same, they relied on their physical strength to overwhelm them at the critical moment.

As for why not change the strategy, Kobe leads the team in the first quarter, Paul leads the team in the second and third quarters, and Kobe leads the team in the fourth quarter?

This may prevent the Grizzlies from discovering that they have insufficient physical reserves and want to play at a loss.

In fact, there is no need to play that way. When Kobe keeps playing in singles, his teammates can only watch and see that the touch is gone, and there is no need to play.

Since Mike Brown has no merit other than defense, Kobe, Paul, Gasol, assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff and others have come up with the best strategy they can think of.

But he was helplessly seen through.

As for strength, before the last two minutes of the third quarter of this game, the Lakers relied on him, Kobe, Odom, and Paul to help the team score 11 points in a row to create a 6-point lead. However, Helpless, I lost to age in the end...

…

…

Unlike the Lakers, who didn't go to Memphis until the day before the game, Sun Ce took the two girls to Los Angeles with the team the morning after the second game.

The Lakers don't want to stay in Memphis for one more day, and the Grizzlies naturally want to stay in Los Angeles for one more day.

Today, the entire league has no games. It is the second day of the two rest days between the second and third games of the Heat and the 76ers.

Currently, the Grizzlies have defended two home games and are leading the Lakers 2-0; in the East, the 76ers have won two away games in a row and are leading the Heat 2-0!

Sun Ce watched the live broadcast of these two games before. He really didn't expect that the 76ers' broken inside line could also play the inside advantage.

You know, in the second round, the Bulls were able to catch up from 1-3 to 3-3, relying on Boozer and Gibson to penetrate the 76ers' inside line.

Howard is very powerful. He barely raised the 76ers' inside line, which was the last in the league, to the first-class level, but it is far from the top.

But Howard, with power forwards like Thaddeus Young, Sam Young, and Lavoy Allen, can blow up the Heat's inside line...

The main reason is that Iguodala + Howard can restrain James, and it's not the old Duncan + the young second defense Leonard who cut off James' defense. In 2014, the Spurs defended James mainly by cutting off passes. Peak Iguodala + peak Howard directly increased the intensity and hard defense, and James averaged 17.5 points in two games.

In fact, the Heat defended well. Except for Howard, no one on the 76ers scored more than 20 points. Evans averaged 17 points, Iguodala averaged 11 points, and Louis Williams averaged 16 points. But the 76ers' outside defense was also very good, and no one on the Heat averaged more than 20 points. Wade, the highest scorer, averaged 19.5 points, and Bosh averaged only 10.5 points, which was not as high as Chalmers' 11 points.

Sun Ce didn't expect that after the chaotic big trades in the past two years, Howard might be the biggest beneficiary in the East! Howard might make it to the end!

However... for Sun Ce, if the 76ers make it to the finals, it will definitely be easier to beat than the Heat!

The James-Wade combination and the 76ers' outside trio are both extremely strong defensive combinations, but the James-Wade combination has stronger offensive firepower. The Grizzlies' offense is not easy to beat whether they play against James-Wade or the 76ers' trio, and they are definitely more willing to choose opponents with weaker offensive firepower.

As for the inside... the Heat are afraid of Howard, but the Grizzlies are not.

Sun Ce saw some opinions on the Internet. Although no one said good things about him, and some extreme fans said bad things about him, he felt very happy no matter how he looked at it.

Some people believe that this season is the most likely year for James VS Kobe to appear, and he and Howard are destroying the most interesting duel in history.

This makes Sun Ce feel very happy, and he wants to destroy it! If you have the opportunity to enter the finals, why should you make way for others?

As for the current situation, this season is the year with the highest probability of winning the championship. Fortunately, the Mavericks took the initiative to meet in the first round. In the second round, they can beat the Thunder 4-1 and advance in advance, which will give Randolph, Battier, Tony Allen, Nash and other veterans or teammates with poor physical strength more opportunities to rest... Although it was painful at the beginning that the Mavericks fell to eighth, now that we have come to this point, we find that everything is lucky.

The most fortunate thing is that the Lakers still fought with the Spurs for seven games, which is the advantage of their Grizzlies!

…

When we arrived at the hotel in Los Angeles, the coaching staff announced that we could rest for a day today, but we could not leave Manhattan Beach, we could not stay overnight and had to return to the hotel, we could not pack nightclub girls back to the hotel, and we could not order takeout.

Sun Ce was originally going to take Zu Ge and Lily Collins to go shopping and buy some summer clothes. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Last summer, we trained every day and didn’t buy much clothes. Last year, we could still wear the clothes from the year before last. They were a little short, but we could still wear them. But now Sun Ce’s weight is almost over 95 kilograms, and he really can’t wear them.

But Lily Collins didn't want to go out, so she collapsed on the sofa.

Sun Ce was puzzled. Her menstrual period should be over, right? He approached Lily Collins and poked her face with his index finger and asked, "What's wrong? You're not energetic at all?"

Lily Collins habitually sucked the stick-like object that Sun Ce poked her with... Suddenly she found something wrong and immediately bit it.

"Why are you biting me?" Sun Ce quickly pulled his hand out and pinched Lily Collins's cheek.

Lily Collins was not as lively as before. She used to be very active after her menstrual period. She grabbed Sun Ce's hand: "Noah, can you accompany me to my private doctor? I have an appointment for a checkup this afternoon."

"Checkup, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Sun Ce blurted out... Suddenly he thought of something, and his hand held by Lily Collins trembled a little: "You can't be... that didn't come?"

Seeing that Sun Ce seemed very excited and excited, Lily Collins' worries were swept away. She tilted her head, smiled evilly and squeezed her eyebrows at Sun Ce...
