I’m a Big Boss in the NBA

Chapter 677: Spear and shield contest

April 16, 2017.

7:30 in the evening.

Los Angeles.

Staples Arena.

At this moment the players have already entered the field and started to warm up.

The Staples Arena has undoubtedly been completely occupied by Lakers fans. According to Zhang Jingyi's statement, it is a crowd of people, and there are quite a lot of people.

When the warm-up is over, the game will begin.

"Come here! The game is about to begin!" Seeing the referee, the game was cleared.

Kefan couldn’t help but excitedly said: “Audience friends, everyone, this is XX Sports. Now I’m broadcasting the NBA 2016-2017 season playoffs for you. The Memphis Grizzlies challenge the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game. These are the two teams. The first match in this series!"

Yang Yi added: "The previous record of the two teams in the regular season was that the Lakers won all three games and maintained an absolute advantage. However, from the progress of the playoffs in these two days, we can also find that the regular season has maintained a complete victory. It means that the playoffs can also be won. There are too many variables in the playoffs. Many uncertain factors cause you to only look at the specific performance of the playoffs, and the others are useless."

indeed.

It is a good thing to maintain a full victory in the regular season, but it does not mean that the Lakers can still win the entire season.

Among the predictions of many media reporters, the Grizzlies will restrain the Lakers in the lineup.

how to say.

The Grizzlies are strongest on defense, and the Lakers are strongest on offense.

This is a contest between shield and spear.

Before the game started, no one knew who the winner was.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cheers at the scene were earth-shattering.

"Let's take a look at the starting roster of the two teams first." Ke Fan said.

"Let’s look at the Grizzlies first. The away game. Today, the Grizzlies played with 13 players. The starting point guard is Mike Conley. He just signed a one-year $153 million contract extension. The shooting guard is Wayne Say. Elden, who was not a draft pick, was signed by the Grizzlies, but was waived, and then went to the Pelicans, and did not play long. In March of this year, the Grizzlies signed him again. This season During the regular season, he averaged 5.1 points, 0.9 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game." Ke Fanjie said, "The Grizzlies' starting third is Vince Carter, oh! Old Carter started, the Grizzlies have a routine. The Grizzlies have Je Michael Green at number four and Gasol Jr. at the center."

Because many fans are not familiar with the Grizzlies players, Kefan focused on introducing them.

It's easier when it comes to the Lakers.

Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randall and Yi Jianlian.

Very regular lineup, what lineup the Lakers during the regular season, what lineup is now!

This is Xu Xuan's suggestion.

Admittedly, everyone feels that during the playoffs, it might be better to put Nick Young and Barnes in the starting lineups.

But is it necessary?

During the regular season, the Lakers have always played like this. Although the playoffs are more intense, the sudden change is not a good thing. It is better to play according to the regular season lineup, and the effect may be better.

Xu Xuan tried his best to stand up to the crowd, and the Lakers directly adopted the regular season lineup!

"Are you too confident? No adjustments at all?" Grizzlies coach David Fizdale touched his head, lost in thought.

The Lakers suit is very easy to study. David Fizdale thought the Lakers would do something to deal with it, but he did not expect the Lakers to be so upright, how the regular season will come, and how the playoffs will come.

Is it too self-confident or inflated?

You must know the starting lineup of the Grizzlies, but he took the coaching staff, discussed for several days, and determined the lineup after careful logical calculation.

His hair is bald.

Not only that, after establishing their lineup, they also studied the possible lineup of the Lakers day and night. There are all kinds of speculations, but they did not expect the Lakers to be as simple as the regular season starter.

Well, they have thought about it a lot.

But is this lineup really feasible?

"The Lakers did this. I didn't understand it anyway. I think replacing Barnes and replacing Ingram should be the best starter the Lakers have seen so far, but maybe the Lakers also have considerations that we don't know." Yang Yidao .

I don't understand, so I don't know.

But Fan also gave a wry smile, wanting to say something, but at this moment, the game has officially started.

The first to get the ball is the Grizzlies.

Little Gasol is 216 tall. After all, he is a bit taller than Yi Jianlian. In addition, Gasol's confrontation ability is not comparable to that of Gasol. He was very strong in the air and got the ball first.

Mike Conley held the ball for halftime.

The "Mr. 150 million" expression was very calm, pushing Xu Xuan in front of him to the three-point line.

The pressing defense the Lakers adopted means that they don't give you the Grizzlies too many opportunities to operate. Let's not mention the defensive effect. This attitude must be taken out.

Seeing Conley hovering on the three-point line, Xu Xuan posted it with one stride. Conley was taken aback and didn't dare to push further in, but called Gasol's pick-and-roll.

The Lakers immediately changed defense.

Xu Xuan defended Gasol at the three-point line, and Gasol reached out for the ball to make a strong hit.

Xu Xuan was not surprised either. Gasol can pass the ball inside and outside, and his offensive efficiency with the ball on the outside is not low.

Little Gasol didn't hesitate either, the first attack, looking at Xu Xuan who was afraid to step forward, he just shot!

"Huh!"

The first attack hit the basket.

"Why does the Grizzlies offense look a little anxious?" Ke Fan thought.

"It should be the first attack, I didn't find a good rhythm." Yang Yidao.

Gasol, who didn't make a shot, waved his hand like a teammate, indicating that the ball was his own.

The Lakers offense.

Seeing Xu Xuan holding the ball, the scene suddenly burst into cheers.

"Come here! Xu Xuan came to the Lakers in the first playoff game, the first time he has the ball! We can see that Kobe has stood up!" Ke Fan said loudly.

Yes, Kobe also came to the scene today.

In Xu Xuan's first Lakers playoff game, Kobe must come to see what happens.

Here Kobe stood up and waved his hand, and signaled the fans on the field to cheer louder.

Xu Xuan held the ball for halftime.

Yi Jian even stepped forward to cover.

The Grizzlies are also defending against position. Conley defends Xu Xuan, but the Grizzlies don’t want Xu Xuan to play Gasol in a dislocation. This will bring a very heavy burden to Gasol, so Conley directly Choose to bypass the block, and the position and direction are judged very accurately!

"Conley's judgment is good." Yang Yidao.

Conley’s speed and bounce inherited the Olympic champion’s father’s genes, and can keep up with any guard without losing his position. His defensive judgment and consciousness are first-class. The Grizzlies are the core of both offensive and defensive and the vanguard of the defensive system, especially in today’s point guard era. It is very difficult to successfully defend a point guard, especially a guard like Xu Xuan.

"Huh!"

On the first attack, Xu Xuan was not polite at all. With Yi Jianlian's pick and roll, he moved one step horizontally, and it was a fall-back jumper.

Raise your legs, stay in the air, shake your wrists, shoot -

As a clamorous member of Comey, and Kobe himself is on the court, Xu Xuan is absolutely handsome enough to throw other moms to open the door to handsome and handsome at home——

White waves rise!

A three-pointer!

0 to 3!

The Lakers take the lead!

"Ho Ho Ho Ho!!!!"

When Xu Xuan scored a goal, the fans on the spot were hilarious again!

And it's such a representative fall-back jumper, Lakers fans are simply so excited!

"What a powerful personal ability," Ke Fan said excitedly, "to throw the ball against the defense!!!"

"This is Xu Xuan, we said this is the only variable for the Lakers!!!" Yang Yi also said loudly.

The Lakers want to win and want to go further, they can only look at Xu Xuan, this is their only way out!

"These three points are too sharp!" Kenny Smith was amazed.

Xu Xuan's three-pointer is just like a deadly sword, fierce and precise!

Full of murderous skills!

Grizzlies offense.

Conley came over with the ball and moved from outside the three-point line to Gasol in the bottom corner, or three-pointer——

Surprisingly, the Grizzlies had three-pointers in the first two offenses, and they scored in the second time!

"Not bad, Xiaojia, got a goal."

Gasol deserves to be the tactical core of the Grizzlies. The first two offenses are all his. Even if the first shot fails, the second shot is still in his hands. This means that his teammates and coaches treat him well. There is a lot of trust.

And Xiaojia did not change this trust.

Looking back, Xu Xuan held the ball for half the time.

The Grizzlies are still on defense alone.

Conley greeted him head-on.

Xu Xuan tentatively shook his steps, but did not stop at the three-point line.

Go straight in!

Conley posted it immediately.

There was no friction between the two.

At the same time, Russell also quickly took advantage of the screen to go to the outside, and then received Xu Xuan's pass from inside and outside. Russell held the ball and also started an inside cut.

The Grizzlies coach, David Fizdale is also paying attention to all this. When he saw the Lakers' offense, he also understood some of Frank's adjustments.

"Increase the cut in the pass and break our defense through inside and outside at the same time? It is indeed a way." David Fizdale frowned, he stood on the sidelines, watching this wave of offense by the Lakers.

Russell’s inside cut was also not considered successful, and his inside and outside passes passed directly to Yi Jianlian’s hands. Yi Jianlian took the ball and dribbled a few steps towards the inside, then made a mid shot and the basketball hit the basket. , Did not enter.

Frank on the sidelines is still expressionless, but he walks back and forth frequently, which has exposed his current mood. This wave of offense by the Lakers has failed, and it seems that his ideas have no effect.

Frank scratched his head, he was going to continue to look at the situation.

The game continued, but the Lakers' offense was trapped in the Grizzlies' defensive quagmire. The Lakers' offense was lost under the Grizzlies' extremely physically confrontational defense.

After the first quarter, the Lakers actually fell behind by 7 points. This season, the Lakers who are all the main players rarely have this situation, but for Frank, he still has a back player, but Xu Xuan is still there, and he will always be there. Full of confidence, he found that for the Grizzlies' defense, the adjustments made before the game were not enough.

In the second quarter, Xu Xuan was still present.

At this time, he didn't dare to go down, for fear that if he went, the whole team would be gone.

This is very likely to happen. In the first quarter, the Grizzlies' defense can be described as extreme.

In addition to Xu Xuan on the Lakers side, Frank also sent Lou Wei, Barnes, Larry Nance Jr. and Zubac.

The Grizzlies also made substitution adjustments, but David Fizdale boldly replaced Conley and Gasol.

The second quarter is the stage of chasing points for the Lakers.

This stage is very important.

Xu Xuan's idea is also very simple. He is still behind now, but he is not so urgent.

Xu Xuan's current idea is to play the offense first no matter what. The Lakers are the offensive team now, and offense is their root.

After Kang Li went down here, Xu Xuan was also relieved.

The Grizzlies are not with Tony Allen now, so Conley is the main defender of Xu Xuan.

Different from the regular season, in the playoffs, Conley's defensive intensity has obviously improved by more than one level.

Xu Xuan can get rid of him, but the energy and stamina spent is far from comparable to that of the regular season.

And because the Lakers are a single-core team, most of the Grizzlies' defensive attention is all on him, which invisibly added tremendous pressure to him.

Sure enough, it's not that simple to win the single-core championship!

Xu Xuan can be regarded as feeling the mood of the old driver in the past~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This feeling of being targeted in all directions is really uncomfortable. Last season, there were pickled peppers in the Pacers to share the firepower for him, but now only He himself.

Not only that.

When Conley goes down, Xu Xuan's defensive end is also a lot easier. In fact, Xu Xuan's defense has improved a lot, but most of them have developed to the outside. Since his inside defense is not assisted by defense, it is not considered top level. Once he has a cameo Inside, it is easy to be destroyed by the opponent's pick-and-roll offense.

Conley and Gasol’s pick-and-rolls were really sharp. Both have the ability to handle the ball. Xu Xuan must always pay attention to whether there is a big man behind him.

In the second quarter, the Lakers put on the offensive lineup began to chase points, but the effect of chasing points was mediocre. After a full chase, the Lakers tied the score.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers and Grizzlies drew 47 to 47.

This score is really not much. According to this calculation, it is only 94 to 94 in one game, which is not more than 100.

"It seems that the Lakers are really restricted by the Grizzlies. I observed it. By the end of this half, the Lakers scored by quick conversions were less than 20. This ratio is too small. Normally, they quickly converted. The percentage of scoring is very high.” Ke Fan said.

The Lakers are indeed uncomfortable playing now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone on the Lakers team, including Xu Xuan, seems to be playing very awkwardly.

And so far, the two talented rookies of the Lakers, Russell and Ingram, have yet to score.

Halftime passed, and one point was not scored. This state can be said to be very bad, but Randall performed well. He scored 8 points and 3 rebounds in the half, which was not good, but at least it was above the level. of.
