One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Nine. This Is Not as Planned!

Originally, Sun Ce's use of Sun Ce to contain Josh Smith was a very important part in restricting the Lakers' defense, just like the Spurs used Parker to contain Sun Ce's defense in the last round.

But the Lakers used Leonard to defend Sun Ce. Although his shooting was not as stable as Ci Shiping's this season, his defense in the three-second zone was not as good as Ci Shiping's, and his experience was not that great, they allowed Josh Smith to Can go back to close defense.

This is the same as the Grizzlies would rather use the weaker Beverley to defend Parker and liberate Sun Ce.

The two great talents in the 2011 class, Klay Thompson and Leonard, have very different offensive characteristics. Leonard is developing towards an all-around offensive player, while Klay Thompson is a pure shooter.

But there are many similarities on the defensive end, one of which is that Leonard is not easy to lose his position when chasing!

And his athletic ability is better. Sun Ce ran around Randolph in the pick-and-roll, and Leonard kept up.

Kobe followed Paul George, and Paul followed Klay Thompson. When Sun Ce had no good chance to cut in and was interfered by Josh Smith and Leonard, Gasol raised the ball to face Jordan Hill. Can't hit or pass!

At this time, Randolph was looking for a single, and the best time had passed. Sun Ce could only go around, receive Gasol's pass to the left side of the top arc, and face Leonard's defense and fall back for a three-pointer... …

Try your hand at the three-iron!

Fortunately, Randolph's inside dominance is still there. Xiaopangdun made a beautiful turn to block the landing point of the rebound. He quickly took off with a speed that was not inferior to that of Josh Smith, lifted the ball in the air, and made a tip-in. !

Space is very important. In the past few games, although Randolph had strong containment and excellent singles, and scored high in the two wins, his offensive rebounding was not that good.

At that time, the Grizzlies mainly focused on defense, but except for their defense in the second game, they failed to defend in the first and third games.

And because Jimmy Butler, Tony Allen, and Lopez have been used for a relatively long time, Jimmy Butler, the best shooter among these three, is also a mid-range player, so he can control the space. When it comes to shooting, the Lakers, who originally had mediocre rebounds, collectively shrank from grabbing rebounds, and Randolph naturally had fewer offensive rebounds.

But tonight the Grizzlies made adjustments and directly put Klay Thompson into the starting position. His defense is definitely not as good as Tony Allen, but his ability to contain space is stronger, and Randolph's offensive rebounding dominance is on display!

No, the first ball had an immediate effect.

When the Lakers attacked, something unexpected happened to the Grizzlies. After halftime, Kobe began to slowly accelerate. After entering the three-point line, he reached his fastest speed. After receiving a long pass from Paul, he rushed directly into the paint. With Gasol on defense, he hit a layup!

Kobe was so aggressive as soon as he came up? This style of painting is wrong!

The Lakers played a very beautiful transitional offense, and only Kobe Bryant in the Lakers' starting lineup has this ability. This is beyond the Grizzlies' expectations.

Sun Ce felt that the situation on the opposite side was different from what he, his teammates, and most of the team's coaches expected. It seemed that there was a situation that Bickerstaff had guessed but was not sure about.

Regardless of this, the game has just begun. It is more important to firmly implement the team's strategy and find opportunities to create advantages from details.

The first is execution!

Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt. Due to the failed teamwork just now, Sun Ce was directly ready to let Randolph start digging!

Klay Thompson mentioned the starting lineup, which has had a lot of positive impacts on the Grizzlies' opening offense. Better offensive rebound opportunities are one aspect. The most important thing is that Randolph's singles will become easier. There was a situation where Teacher Tony was let go by Kobe.

Randolph beat Josh Smith in the low post, turned around and hit the basket.

4 to 4 draw!

In the next round, the Lakers quickly pressed the ball. Kobe received the ball and shot directly against Klay Thompson's defense!

Missed!

But at this time, the Grizzlies' two bears have not yet entered the basket.

Leonard rushed in to grab the offensive rebound, but had no second chance to attack. He was covered by Sun Ce who recovered it in time. Leonard was almost intercepted by Sun Ce, and he almost threw the ball to the sideline. Leonard used the inside line to After grabbing the offensive rebound and attracting the opponent's attention, Kobe appeared on the sideline. Before Randolph could make up for it, Kobe made another three-pointer... and it went in again!

Score 5 points in a row!

This time Kobe made two shots in a row, and Sun Ce knew that Bickerstaff was right.

Bickerstaff Jr. said that his father is an unpredictable head coach who often makes some outrageous moves. Others will basically not adjust their strategies at this time, especially if there is a lesson learned from the Spurs. If there is an advantage, Or if they are evenly matched, they will definitely maintain it. I believe that the superstars in the team will focus on their performance.

But old Bickerstaff just adjusted!

Kobe immediately started attacking mode as soon as he came up!

Looking back, Randolph continued to play singles. This time Kobe let go of Paul George and shrank in. Randolph distributed the ball in time, but Paul George missed the first try. Kobe grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked on his own. !

Sun Ce retreated quickly and pressed up to defend when Kobe came to close range, but failed to prevent him. With Klay Thompson chasing him and Sun Ce covering up, Kobe hit a two-on-one pull-up floater!

At the same time, the referee glanced and Sun Ce fouled Kobe's shot!

As Kobe Bryant hit the extra free throw amid wild boos from the fans, the Grizzlies called a timeout.

The Lakers started with a 10-4 run and stopped the Grizzlies!

Kobe scored 8 points with 3 of 4 shots, scored twice with cuts, and 1 of 2 three-point shots. If it was the Kobe of the past, this would be normal, but for Kobe in the past two years, it can be said to be a non-mainstream Kobe.

The Grizzlies didn't have time to practice the tactical changes they had prepared. The game had just started, but they were stopped at the beginning!

Sun Ce and others returned to the bench. They started well, scoring two in 3 attacks, but they didn't have time to play the fourth attack. The opponent started with 4 of 5 shots in 4 attacks!

Everyone on the Grizzlies side was staring at Little Bickerstaff. In the discussion the night before, Little Bickerstaff said that the Lakers might change their lineup.

But everyone thought it was unlikely. Even Coach Hollins, who often had strange ideas, didn't try to adjust in the second game after winning the first game without knowing how the opponent would change. Instead, he played steadily.

But old Bickerstaff is so magical!

Sun Ce stared at the assistant coach of his own team. As expected, the son knew his father very well. But Sun Ce still wanted to say - your father is poisonous!
