Chapter 544: No Shooting Zone (Fourth Update!) )
"Lift your damn head to me!"
Tang Tian was a little angry when he saw this, Whiteside was good at everything, but his brain was not good.
Before the game, the coaching staff had reminded him N times not to shoot and block easily, this guy listened to it in his left ear, and when he got to the game, his right ear was released again!
Whiteside nodded, Tang Tian's instant reminder was still useful.
Gasol Jr. made both free throws after adjusting his breathing to give the Grizzlies the lead.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt to play a positional battle, and Tang Tian was driven to the basket and missed the shot.
This is also a microcosm of the past two games, and the Pelicans really can't take advantage of the positional battle.
Randolph defends the defensive rebound.
The Grizzlies' offense advanced to the frontcourt, and Gasol Jr. leaned back to Whiteside at the free-throw line to ask for the ball.
In addition to Gasol's outstanding physical gifts, he also has his super-high ball quotient.
He played a ball in front of him and already knew that Whiteside was a breakthrough in the Pelicans' defense.
He motioned for Randolph and Arlen to pull away.
Randolph has mid-range, and the Pelicans' shrinking formation has been stretched out a bit.
Gasol Jr. then went on to play Whiteside.
Turn around and go to the basket for a layup.
This time, Whiteside straightened his hands and stood without reaching out.
The Gasol brothers are good at everything, but they are not good at confrontation, which is also the origin of the nickname of "sister-in-law" of the big Gasol.
Gasol Jr. has a tougher style of play, but race dictates that he can't be on top of a tough confrontation with a black and rough like Whiteside.
It took Whiteside half a season to gain weight to 105kg, and there was a clear advantage in the basket.
Gasol Jr. didn't get up the first time after the confrontation, and the second time he adjusted and turned around and shot out again.
"Smack!"
His back-to-back confrontation gave time to Davis, who came over and slapped his shot off the court.
There was a stirring on the sidelines.
Gasol Jr.'s reach is terrifying, but Davis is not far behind.
This kind of defensive block is his forte.
After the block, Davis and Whiteside gave a slap.
Davis is cute, Whiteside has a bad brain, and the two of them can actually talk very well.
The Grizzlies sent the ball out on the sideline, Gasol Jr. forced the free throw line, Lee interspersed with the baseline, and Randolph reflexively cut to the basket after the pick-and-roll.
Gasol Jr.'s pass.
"Smack!"
Davis has a quick eye and contributes a steal!
After shrinking, the space under the basket is narrow, and it is really easy to be broken!
And after Davis broke the ball, the Pelicans had a three-line fast break.
This is the tactical detail that Tang Tian said to Williams before.
The Grizzlies' defense is not only strong in positional battles, but they also have the fastest defensive speed in the league.
If you want to fight against them to defend and counterattack, you must be fast.
That's the focus of the Pelicans' practice over the past few days.
The three lines are attacking at the same time, just like three arrows at once.
Davies has vision and reach, and he throws long passes directly from the backfield to the midfield.
He doesn't have a lot of offensive skills, but this hand pass is not bad!
Tang Tian received the ball, and Conley, who was retreating, came directly to the defense.
Tang Tian dribbled and sent the ball to Holiday further forward, who accelerated and went straight to the Grizzlies backcourt to score a layup!
Tactics, played out!
There was a burst of excitement on the Pelicans' bench.
When they knew that the team was going to fight the Grizzlies defensively, their expressions and thoughts were exactly the same as Williams' at the beginning.
But since it's all about losing, try it.
And now, they've really succeeded!
The Grizzlies' offense, Gasol Jr. pulled to the high post, and Randolph sank to the low post to receive the ball.
If the white bear doesn't work, try the black bear.
Randolph catches the ball and hits Davis, turns to the basket and arches Davis with his big ass.
The NBA's all-time low-post players have big butts, which helps them create safe space for themselves on the inside.
"Bang!"
However, as soon as Randolph shot the ball, he was covered by Whiteside, who came to help defend it!
Davis's block is strong, Whiteside is stronger!
Randolph was covered, but he reacted quickly, grabbed the covered ball quickly, turned his ass around, and pushed Whiteside before shooting.
"Bang!"
As soon as he made a shot, another long arm came over and directly covered his shot on the rebound!
Pegboard hat!
Davis!
The fans were stunned.
Two arm span monsters, two cap maniacs, just take turns pressing Randolph for a while!
And the tacit understanding of the two defenses in this round turned the Pelicans' restricted area into a no-fly zone.
No, it's not just the ban on flying, it's also the ban on shooting baskets, it's a no-shoot zone!
Randolph's expression was depressed after being covered, when had he been subjected to this kind of hot pot feast in the low position.
But I have to say that the defensive pressure given by Whiteside and Davis, the two reach-span monsters together, is really high.
The Grizzlies sent the ball out on the sideline, and Gasol Jr. broke through Whiteside with the ball, and it was clear that he was on his way to make a foul.
He also realized the tremendous energy of the Pelicans' two interior lines on the defensive end.
Because Whiteside has already been fouled once, it only takes one more Whiteside to make this interior combination self-defeating.
But Whiteside didn't make a move to block at this time, just reached out after standing.
Gasol Jr. folds his arms in the air.
"Bang!"
Davis jumped up from behind Whiteside at this time and slapped Gasol Jr.'s shot back again!
The third block in a row in a single round!
And this goal, after the cover is out, the red light on the sideline is on.
The Grizzlies were defended for 24 seconds!
A no-shoot zone is a no-shoot zone!
Davis and Whiteside bumped into each other's chests after the block, and the two of them were extremely excited.
In the first two games, they were pressed to the ground by the Grizzlies and rubbed without temper, but this time they finally vented!
Tang Tian looked at the interior duo with a smile at this time, this is the future of the Pelicans' interior line.
Although they are still young and immature, and their play has been up and down, when they find their form, it will be a pair of talented pairs on the defensive end.
The strength of Whiteside and Davis made the black and white duo afraid to attack the basket for the time being.
Conley's outside singles Holiday couldn't score from mid-range.
The Grizzlies' outside play is all about the inside, and playing alone is not their strong point.
The Pelicans played defensive counterattack again, and this time Tang Tian caught the ball himself and scored a layup in the front court.
After the Pelicans adjusted their play, it was clear that the balance of victory was tilting in their favor.
However, Joggle did not sit still, and he replaced Allen with Prince.
The basis of the Pelicans' tactical adjustment is that Allen does not have the ability to score from the outside, and the problem of replacing Prince will naturally be solved.
Sure enough, Prince hit a mid-range pick-and-roll on his first turn.
The crowd cheered again, and it wasn't so easy to take the win away from their home stadium!
