After a 7-0 run, the Grizzlies began to score and closed the margin a bit. After all, the opponent is a team that has reached the Western Conference finals, and it is impossible to be scared by a wave of 7-0.

But the whole first section, in Becky. Under the control of Harmon and Vogel, the Pacers still stabilized the situation somewhat. At the end of the 12-minute battle in the first quarter, the score became 23-16. The Pacers limited the Grizzlies' scoring, and their scoring performance was pretty good.

During the break, the Grizzlies' 12th coach, Dave Browns. Joggle was critical of the team's defense. Of course, he knows very well that it is useless to criticize, and he has to find a solution for the players to solve the problem.

Joggel and his predecessor Lionar. Hollins, like that, is a very defensive-minded and very defensive-minded head coach, and although he only gets an annual salary of $1.5 million this season, Jogel's level has been recognized by everyone after playing six games in the new season.

Joggle has changed a little more on the defensive end than Hollins. He's very good at changing his defensive strategy according to different attacks.

A coach who has climbed up from the development league has seen a myriad of bizarre plays, so he knows how to set up his defense for them. Throughout the break, Joggle became the busiest man on the court. And his arrangement was quickly reflected in the competition.

The first thing is that Joggle has the players trying not to give the Pacers too fluid offense. The method is to strictly defend one-on-one, apply pressure to the ball, and cut off the passing route. The two most important points are that he made Tony. Allen started in the second quarter and played up to George! Then, let Randolph and Gasol switch positions.

Now, it's up to Randolph to defend Horford, who likes to float outside. Gasol Jr. and David. West was together, staying close to the basket.

Dave. The effect of Jogle's set-up was immediate, and the Pacers were deflated by the first goal of the opening game of the second quarter.

Paul's breakaway after borrowing Horford's pick-and-roll didn't attract Randolph's pursuit, so Horford's three-point point was unusable.

After breaking deeper, Paul still couldn't find a passing route. Because he found that the Grizzlies' defense was starting to shrink, and they were focused on cutting off the passing lane, rather than preventing Paul from scoring.

Who will stop Paul's attack? Stay in the penalty area of the "big white bear" Mark. Gasol!

As the winner of last season's Defensive Player of the Year, Gasol Jr. is very good at helping to defend and defending one-on-one in the low post. He came to Paul just right, neither sooner nor too late.

Paul now has only two options, one is to find a way to score on Gasol's head, and the other is to pass the ball to West, who is temporarily empty.

Calm Paul chose the latter, but Mike. Conley was behind, and he had already anticipated Paul's intentions, so he prepared in advance. Reach out your arm and steal the ball the moment Paul passes to West!

"Paul actually made a mistake!?" Reggie. Miller stood up in surprise, knowing that Paul rarely makes mistakes on the offensive end. This kind of mistake of being robbed by the opponent is even more rare.

But let's also not forget that last season Mike. Conley averaged 2.2 steals per game, ranking third in the league behind Paul, the steal king and Rubio, the "Spanish golden boy". In other words, Conley is also one of the league's most stealing guards.

Henson still didn't stand up, but frowned. Dave. Joggle was previously Lionar. Hollins' assistant coach, but his changes seem to be more flexible than Hollins. This is, did the apprentice starve to death the master?

Tackles and turnovers mean there will be counter-attacks. Last season, Hollins' side were dominated by slow-paced positional offense. It could even be said that the Grizzlies did not attack at all.

But this season, Joggle has tried to enrich the Grizzlies' offense. Among them, switching offense is one of his key goals.

Tony. Allen, a pure defensive player, may not be very useful in positional offense, but he is a good switch attacker.

Mike. Conley had a clear idea, and he quickly got on the ball and let Tony, who was running at the front, get to. Aaron got his chance. Watching Tony. Allen burst to the basket, and George was ready to take off at any time to block the opponent.

However, Tony. Allen was smart, he didn't jump and dunk directly, but deliberately slowed down and hit George with his ass! Buying space for yourself with physical confrontation has become a must-have skill for almost all outside players!

After topping off George, Tony. Aaron took two big steps and jumped high and staged a two-handed slam buckle! I have to say, Tony. Aaron's athleticism is still very good.

18-23, the Grizzlies blew the horn of a counterattack.

"Now the Grizzlies have a defensive counterattack?" Henson muttered to himself, continuing to observe the situation.

The next time they defended, the Grizzlies' strategy was the same. Resolute one-on-one, resolute lock-up passing routes. Paul didn't break through again, but handed the ball to George early and directed his teammates to pull it away.

It's a pity that George couldn't be in the same relationship with Tony this time. Allen won in singles. As an outside player named to the All-Defensive Team for three consecutive years, Tony Brown. That's what Allen depends on to survive in the NBA. He is the kind of person who exists to contain the opponent's top scorer. So even Paul. George, Tony. Aaron won't be easily defeated either.

Subsequently, Zach. Randolph played the inside, and his large tonnage made West a little unbearable. Seeing this, Leonard went up to the bag, and he forgot Henson's instructions.

Randolph smiled and raised his hand to pass the ball. "The Little Prince" Tyshawn. Pulis made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the basketball swept through the net.

"Three-point shot, good! 21-23, the Pacers are in big trouble. In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies fought back fiercely. ”

Watching Priss hit a three-pointer, Henson's ass was a little unable to sit still. Don't look at him doing nothing in the first quarter, in fact, he is paying close attention to the situation on the court all the time. He wanted to get back up, but soon, Paul put his mind at ease with a mid-range jumper.

As everyone knows, this still failed to withstand the Grizzlies' counterattack.

After Paul's mid-range shot, the Pacers went through three losing rounds.

The first is that Paul couldn't get the bag on a burst and ended up throwing a shot against Gasol Jr. Subsequently, Leonard's pass was mishandled because of Tony. Allen kept wrapping around George and didn't give George room to catch the ball. In the end, West's mid-range was blocked by Gasol Jr.

At first, people thought that West had made a three-way shot. After the replay on the big screen at the scene, people realized that it was Gasol's fingertips that rubbed the ball thrown by West.

At this point, the score became 27-25, and the Memphis Grizzlies took less than half a quarter to overtake the score. Becky. Harmon and Frank. Vogel looked at each other, then looked at their head coach in unison.

At this point, Henson, whose ass seemed to be nailed to the bench, finally stood up, walked over to the technical table, and made a timeout gesture towards the referee.

Henson finally took the initiative to call a timeout, which made Reggie on the commentary stage. Miller and Chris. Webb was happy.

"Count the guys, this is the first time Coach Henson has stood up in this game!" Webb quipped.

The players ended up dejected, expecting to be scolded by Henson. But Henson looked calm and not angry. Just find the problem and solve the problem, and it's not a little girl, and if you encounter something, you will be angry.

He knows what the team's problems are, Becky. Harmon and Frank. Vogel is a great player in their field. But their weakness is precisely that some of them are too "biased".

Now that the team is in trouble, it's hard to say whether there's something wrong with the offense or something wrong defensively, because there can be something wrong on both ends of the floor. So, Harmon and Vogel didn't know how to adjust either. At this time, it is time for Henson, who is in control of the overall situation, to come in.

?“ I'm going to rearrange the attack and everybody's listening, because we didn't train yesterday for the next way of playing. I hope you don't have to keep reminding me. Becky, give me the tactical board. ”

Henson holds the tactical board in one hand and the marker in the other, and then bites the cap of the marker with his mouth as usual.

Buddhist teaching and throwing hands at the shopkeeper are two different concepts. Henson never said that he would just leave it alone.
