Eight Hundred. Black Panda Is Fierce!

The Lakers were fiercely defended by the Grizzlies in their first attack. The confrontation between Kobe and Tony Allen could be described as a hug and a fall. The last time fans saw this kind of defense was when Tony Allen defended Kobe in the regular time of last year's finals.

There were only a few games left before the playoffs, and Tony Allen directly used a playoff-level or even finals-level defensive action. Without pushing or pulling anyone, he used the "inertial action" that could be called or not within the rules to defend Kobe.

The so-called inertial action is that when Kobe turned and cut inside, Tony Allen chased him and went around between Kobe and the basket. When Tony Allen went around Kobe, his body would tilt sideways. At that time, both of them were moving at full speed, so it was reasonable for them to collide.

Of course, Kobe also had it. The reason why he could turn smoothly when he turned around was because he also used the "inertial action" when he turned around. When he turned to the right, his right hand must be swung to the right, and his arm hit the opponent, which was also reasonable to press the opponent and not give the opponent the opportunity to immediately close and compress the space.

If it is a regular season, this can be called or not, but in the playoffs, such actions will hardly be called.

Especially the Kobe vs. Tony Allen match that the referees are used to seeing, and they will not call it.

Fisher failed to pass the ball to Kobe at the beginning, and Gasol came up to receive the ball and passed it to Bynum under the basket for a single shot.

As soon as Bynum received the ball, he saw Sun Ce staring at him fiercely.

Bynum still remembers the miserable last time he played against Gasol, and when he saw Sun Ce's eyes, he immediately recalled everything... Without using force to hit, Bynum directly relied on his weight to maintain balance in the confrontation with Gasol, raised the ball and jumped to hook, not giving Sun Ce the opportunity to rush in to make up for the defense.

Sun Ce rushed in and got a chance to block the shot. Gasol headed well, but Bynum shot quickly.

However, although it was fast, this posture was not the shooting posture of a heavy and athletic player like Bynum. He had never practiced it. This hard hook was interfered by Gasol. Sun Ce pulled it back, Randolph blocked Gasol who wanted to rush for it, and Sun Ce took the defensive rebound.

Sun Ce got the defensive rebound and was startled when he turned around. Gasol stood on his tiptoes and pressed on Randolph's back with his arms outstretched. Sun Ce saw Gasol pulling his hand back and his front hand was not working. He could definitely touch the net! He almost took the ball away from his head. Fortunately, Randolph blocked Gasol's action to continue moving forward.

Being pressed by Gasol, when the Grizzlies attacked, Randolph also wanted to press back and asked for the ball from Gasol in the low post.

After Sun Ce pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he saw Randolph asking for the ball. Although Randolph had never played well against Gasol, he still had to give it to Randolph to try. When playing against the Mavericks, Yao Ming and Chandler helped defend, so he should have given it to Randolph. If he felt that this point was opened today, the Grizzlies would have an easier time.

After passing the ball to Randolph, Sun Ce cut to the right baseline. Gasol pulled out to block Kobe who was chasing him. Bynum followed Gasol out, so as not to give Sun Ce the opportunity to go to the baseline.

Randolph singled out his sister-in-law in the low post!

Although the sister-in-law is very domineering when she is tough, as the saying goes, the funniest thing is the sister-in-law... Randolph is eating dumplings tonight. He turned his back to avoid Gasol's long arms and hit a layup on the right side of the basket!

Randolph's fat body, no matter how flexible he is, rarely makes such a goal in the face of the interference of long-arm monsters like Gasol. This is not the shooting action that he should have for his body.

But he made it today!

The Grizzlies took the lead and led 2-0!

This is a bad sign for the Lakers. Although Gasol seems to be very soft and has never been associated with the best defensive lineup, his lowest defensive efficiency in the 07-08 season after joining the Lakers was 4.4. What does this mean? Except for the year when he won the second defense in the 99-00 season, O'Neal's inside defense effect is about the same as Gasol!

It's just that Gasol's defensive efficiency was too bad during his time with the Grizzlies. The highest year was 2.2, and usually it was a few points, and even 0.9 defensive efficiency.

In the past few years, whether it is Nowitzki, Duncan, Garnett, Howard, or even Griffin and Cousins, who have performed well this year, their performances against Gasol are lower than the season average. The question is how much lower. Of course, Randolph is also in this category.

But today, after the game started, Randolph made consecutive singles. Even if he didn't score, he occasionally grabbed the offensive rebound and attracted Bynum who was back, and then passed it to Sun Ce or Gasol to follow up with a shot, or scored a second attack before Bynum had time to get it back!

In the first quarter, Randolph played for more than 4 minutes. He kept chiseling in the low post, 2 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, Randolph scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, leading the team to get 10 points in less than 5 minutes!

The Grizzlies' initial offense was almost all opened by Randolph alone. At first, Randolph wanted to compete with Gasol, but as the game went on, he had to play for Randolph, because only him was the one that the Lakers could safely give to Gasol to defend alone.

First of all, Gasol is really good at defending the basket.

His expansion may be average, far inferior to Odom, and even inferior to the deterrence of Bynum, who is known for his ferocity. Bynum wins in terms of comprehensive defensive ability, and can switch to defend small players, but in terms of the basket, Gasol's defense ability is the strongest in the Lakers, even stronger than Bynum.

Secondly, there is no need to lock Randolph. The Lakers only need Randolph's performance to be below average. The Grizzlies' offensive ability is average. In this defensive battle, Randolph's performance below average is a huge blow to the Grizzlies.

However, Randolph started the game today and blew up Gasol! Although he only made 2 of 6 shots, 3 of the 4 rebounds were offensive rebounds, all of which were converted into points. One was a hook shot to Sun Ce from the bottom line, one was a shot to Gasol, and the other was a high-profile shot from behind Bynum. The last one caused Bynum to foul and make two free throws!

On the Lakers side, they only scored 6 points in the first 4 minutes and 37 seconds!

After Randolph made both free throws, the Lakers' Zen Master called a timeout early at this stage.

Because Randolph rarely played well against the Lakers. He almost never played well last season. He was restricted in two of the three matches this season. But there was another time, before the All-Star Weekend, when Randolph also did the same. Randolph exploded in regular time, giving Sun Ce the opportunity to score 10 points in the final quarter to win the game!

Today's situation, Zen Master felt a bit similar to that day!
