Sun Ce pulled the rod and made a layup, Yi Jianlian followed in when Odom contracted, and wanted to rush to grab the rebound, but Pau Gasol contracted in time to block Yi Jianlian, and Odom also grabbed the defensive rebound after defending Sun Ce.

The Lakers' defense is not given for nothing, they can win championships in '09 and '10, and defense is their foundation.

This season, when it comes to defense alone, the Lakers as a whole are actually stronger than last season because their rotation has become stronger.

There are Kobe, Barnes, and Odom, three players who can defend three positions on the outside, and they all defend very well, as well as Artest, the former best defensive player who can defend from the second to the fourth position, and Blake and Shannon Brown are also good defensive players.

In addition, Odom can also defend the inside, play with one of Gasol and Bynum, or simply play together with the three, and the defense is very strong.

Odom wanted to fight back after winning the rebound, Sun Ce immediately stopped him, Yi Jianlian also followed the big Gasol who had just stuck him, and Gasol Jr., who began to retreat after Sun Ce cut in and received the ball, had already withdrawn from the three-point line.

When Sun Ce retreated to his three-point line, he saw Odom on the opposite side chewing braces and advancing like a guard, the Lakers were running very actively at this time, not giving the Grizzlies a chance to change defenses, Sun Ce felt his scalp tingle, but he thought Odom should be able to pass, right?

If it is to play Yi Jianlian, Odom does not have much momentum, and will act as a top arc player for the triangle attack, allowing his teammates to play together.

But hit Sun Ce......

Odom starts to accelerate as he gets close to the three-point line!

Sun Ce saw a 208 cm tall and 109 kg center-forward point guard-level ball control big man rushing towards him, and probably understood how Parker felt when he met Sun someone, Sun Ce was very active to paste it...... Run over by Odom!

Odom rushed into the inside line almost unhindered, and Gasol Jr. was also difficult! Trying to step out, then Odom turned and dodged with a deft back, and Odom smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

After Odom defended Sun Ce by himself, he grabbed the defensive rebound, advanced by himself, and broke through the layup by himself!

10-9, the Lakers overtook the score!

These rounds were lively, but only two points were scored!

In the next few rounds, the situation basically did not change, and the defense of both teams was too strong, and by the 6:49 mark of the first quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout and entered the official timeout.

13-14, the Grizzlies and Lakers played an unusually close first half.

Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down, the team was about to adjust, Sun Ce looked at his data of 4 boards and 2 hats in the first half of the quarter, especially today's start was too weird.

It looks like 13 points in less than seven minutes, which is not bad, but Sun Ce did not score or assist in the first half of the quarter, and after Randolph helped the team score 9 points at the beginning, they only scored 4 points in the remaining three minutes, but the opposite side overtook the score.

However, Sun Ce got two blocks!

Big Gasol was pretended by Sun Ce once, and Barnes was hatted by Sun Ce once.

Sun Ce played a bit hard defending in these few minutes, and Coach Hollins was ready to replace him with Conley after entering the official timeout, and Sun Ce did not object.

Although there is a star experience card, if this posture continues, it is a question whether it can hold up in the half, or it is necessary to slow down, concentrate the remaining physical strength in the second quarter, and then use the star experience card in the second half.

On the other side, the Zen master also felt that the game was very troublesome from the beginning, Kobe's singles had Randolph for the pair, and the play style of using Odom as the tactical core, Kobe as the containment point, and Da Gasol as the offensive terminal was contained by the rookie on the opposite side!

If it weren't for Odom's counterattack after defending Sun Ce, it would have been difficult for them to overtake the score.

Odom is the core of the game, playing other teams very well, Odom has a three-point shooting rate of 38% this season, and the top arc strategy should be able to open up the space, plus Blake, a white point guard who shoots very accurately and daringly, the Lakers can enjoy the opportunity to make offensive baskets without the ball inside and outside the three-second zone.

However, their invincible inside off-ball blocking and dismantling to create catch-and-shoot opportunities happens to be Sun Ce's best defensive play, Barnes and Da Gasol received the inside catch and shoot, Sun Ce interfered very well.

However, the Zen master still looks calm and breezy on the surface, and the Lakers players feel nothing to fear when they see their head coach so calm, isn't it just that the opponent's defense is a little stronger! Just him! Who is the champion afraid of!

……

Both teams made personnel changes and replaced the best players on the perimeter.

The Grizzlies fielded a lineup of Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr.

On the Lakers' side, this year's rotation lineup is not as stumbling as last season, with Blake, Shannon-Brown, Artest, Odom, and Bynum on the court.

Although this is a good opportunity, the opponent Tony Allen and Battier are resting, but the Zen master still strictly controls Kobe's playing time, although Kobe's physical strength is still very good, but the Zen master is very protective of the core players, and he should be replaced.

Moreover, the two teams have no advantage on the Grizzlies' side.

Odom + Bynum...... This interior combination, except for the Mavericks and Grizzlies, is a core interior combination regardless of which team it throws to.

Bynum really wants to be on the top, not to be the boss, but to grab the position of Gasol, and when he and Gasol play together, he becomes lazy and lazy if anything goes wrong.

But as soon as Gasol went down, good guys, Bynum played off-ball blocking and was active.

In fact, back then, the Lakers took him as the core of the inside, and in the first half of the 07-08 season, he relied on his core combination with Kobe Bryant and Odom to play the first place in the West, he averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.7 assists in 28 minutes per game that season, and the turnover rate was extremely low, only 1.3 turnovers per game, which brought out his potential as "the next Olajuwon", and he was just 20 years old at the time.

But his own knee is not angry, like glass, as soon as he hit the first place in the West, he was injured, and the Lakers were forced to ask the Grizzlies for help and get back the big Gasol, if they had been ready to form a three-tower from the beginning, it would not have been delayed until the middle of the season.

Bynum played the inside combination of Jordan Jr. and Yi Jianlian, really like a little shark, and it was also a small shark with the ability to block and dismantle, in 5 and a half minutes, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, helping the Lakers play a wave of 12-10!

Bynum is sending a signal to management: Correcting the core inside position of the little sharks!
