One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight. A Narrow Victory? This Is an Easy Win!

The Grizzlies like to slowly grind with the opponent and slowly wear down the opponent's style of play.

The players of both teams returned to the court. The Lakers tried to calm down and play every ball well, but Paul could no longer calm down. After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, he took a step back and shot after a pick-and-roll, trying to make a three-pointer to narrow the gap.

Paul successfully used the step back to get rid of Randolph's switch defense, but the shot missed!

Gasol got the defensive rebound and passed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce received the ball and pushed forward. Sun Ce had already felt the opponent's anxious mentality, and the next ball had to go in!

Arriving at the frontcourt, Sun Ce observed the positions on the field. On Randolph's side, Josh Smith tended to double-team, and Randolph could not pass every ball. In the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, Randolph averaged 3.6 assists per game, more than Gasol's 3 assists per game, but his average turnovers were 3 times. The effect of passing the ball was very good; if he could not pass the ball but wanted to pass it, it meant that he really had no chance to score and could only pass it. The Lakers' defense has always been good, at least they worked hard on every ball.

Sun Ce analyzed it, made a tactical gesture, and passed the ball to Gasol who was one step outside the free throw line. Sun Ce himself led Leonard to cut into the inside, and Paul George ran in from the right sideline to help Sun Ce block Leonard when Sun Ce cut in, and Kobe switched to Sun Ce.

After blocking, Paul George immediately ran towards the top arc. Gasol's one-step dribbling to the right made the Lakers think that Gasol was going to pass the ball to Paul George and then block Leonard. Therefore, Paul, who was one step inside the 45-degree angle three-point line on the left, immediately double-teamed Gasol, blocking Gasol's passing to the 45-degree angle on the left and the sideline, and at the same time creating pressure for Gasol to pass to the top arc. Paul is a steal king-level defender, and his cut was very powerful.

The Lakers' defense is very tacit and the execution is also very good, but Gasol passed the ball to Sun Ce, who was closely followed by Kobe and Josh Smith was also ready to double-team!

Sun Ce received the ball and saw Paul moving, so he immediately passed to the left sideline. At this time, Paul just double-teamed the top arc, and Klay Thompson moved to the left to the 45-degree angle sideline on the left, receiving the ball and shooting a three-pointer...

Sun Ce and Randolph immediately prepared to rush, while Gasol and Paul George began to retreat to limit the opponent's fast break.

But this time Klay Thompson made his teammates' efforts go in vain! After a quick shot, he knew that the ball would go in immediately. When he landed, he put his hands together and bowed slightly. The ball went into the basket with his celebration!

An important shot, Klay Thompson was so steady!

7 points difference!

This time Klay Thompson's three-pointer was very critical, directly hitting the opponent's morale to the lowest.

Then Kobe's mid-range shot hit, wanting to help the team regain confidence. When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce faced Josh Smith and shot a three-pointer but missed, but Randolph overpowered Jordan Hill to grab the offensive rebound and scored two points in the second attack, raising his personal score to 20 points!

Still 7 points difference, Kobe wanted to make a three-pointer, but this time he missed. Sun Ce received the defensive rebound. In the process of advancing to the frontcourt, Sun Ce saw Klay Thompson's early run to take advantage of Paul George's pick-and-roll and immediately passed it.

Klay Thompson moved ahead for this. He thought Sun Ce should understand, and Sun Ce really understood. He received the ball and shot another three-pointer...

Hit again!

The Lakers called a timeout, and the Grizzlies suddenly scored 8 points in a row, 8 to 2, and the score became 10 points ahead!

The fans at the scene were crazy!

The Lakers didn't play well? No, just like the Grizzlies played very well at the beginning, but were still pulled away by the Lakers. Kobe played very well, and the Lakers did very well in offense and defense.

However, the Grizzlies can score! From the fourth quarter to now, the Lakers have made 5 of 9 shots, with a hit rate of 55%.

But the Grizzlies, relying on offensive rebounds and better hit rates, made 7 of 12 shots and played a wave!

Just like what the commentator Yu Jia of the court station said under the not-so-happy expression of the guest Zhang Weiping - the Grizzlies played with the momentum to push the Lakers!

There were 5 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers called a timeout!

Originally, Bickerstaff saw that the team's offense had been playing well, the game rhythm was not fast, but the success rate was high, so he did not call a timeout when the Grizzlies scored two goals in a row. However, what Bickerstaff did not expect was that a hit rate of more than 50% was not enough to play against the Grizzlies!

After this wave of 4 out of 3, the Grizzlies' hit rate of less than 50% of 4 out of 9 directly increased to 58%!

The Lakers made 1 of 2 shots in the past three rounds, and then they had the ball, but the Grizzlies scored in all three rounds...

There was no way to play this game!

In this situation, you can't not fight, otherwise you really have no chance. You are 1 to 3 behind the Grizzlies, and there is no possibility of turning the game around!

Paul, Kobe, JR Smith, Jamison, Josh Smith, Bickerstaff sent out a lineup that desperately threw three-pointers.

However, after the timeout, the Lakers saw Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, and Larry Sanders...

The two bears were directly replaced! They sent out a combination to restrain the mini lineup!

This time, it was Bickerstaff Jr. who judged that his father would most likely risk his life and would send out a crazy lineup regardless of the consequences, so he suggested targeted deployment.

The prediction was successful!

Amid the crazy cheers of the fans on the scene, the Grizzlies kept the rhythm steady, fought hard on defense, and grinded to death!

Sun Ce's assist defense, Klay Thompson's pursuit of Kobe, Battier's experienced defensive command and the comprehensiveness of defense that can switch to Jamison and Josh Smith, Paul George and Larry Sanders...

Defense to death is not let go, but with a 10-point lead, the Grizzlies tried their best to defend! Although the opponent scored 13 points in 5 and a half minutes, the Grizzlies also scored 8 points. Facing the Lakers' lineup, and with crazy shooting, Kobe and JR Smith still in good shape, the Grizzlies did a very good job.

With Kobe's last shot missing, the final whistle sounded, and after a wave of crazy defense of 8 to 13, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers!

Looking at the big score of 3 to 1 on the big screen and the happy celebration of the other team after the whistle, Kobe looked up at the big screen and wondered what he was thinking.

As for Paul, the strong but unstable confidence brought by the last victory completely collapsed at this moment!

There is really no way to play in the West!
