Chapter 386: The Best Key Battle for the Moon!
This game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies was officially played at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers!
This game attracted a lot of fans of Chen Yu and the Lakers to come and watch.
In fact, the Grizzlies are not a very likable team, at least not the kind of people who are really die-hard fans of basketball, and they really don't like much.
Compared with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' old enemy in the past two years, the Lakers' Clippers in the same city, is more likeable.
But everyone understands that this game is still quite big, because it is related to the next Lakers' record, and it is also related to whether Chen Yu can win the best of the month.
The best of the month is not only something that Chen Yu cares about, many Chen Yu's fans will also care about their favorite stars.
Today, both sides fielded their more regular starting line-ups.
On the Lakers' side, the lineup is Chen Yu, Meeks, Wesley Johnson, Gasol, and Carman.
On the Grizzlies' side, it's Conley, Tony Allen, Courtney, Randolph, and Marc Gasol.
With such a lineup, in fact, both sides are offensive and defensive.
It's just that the Lakers' defense is dwarfed by the Grizzlies, and even Chen Yu is a good player in the Lakers. But compared to the current Lakers, the Grizzlies are indeed a meat grinder-like lineup, which makes people feel that this team is really not simple at a glance......
The person opposite Chen Yu should be Conley or Tony Allen......
Conley can be said to be a master of using cover, he has a particularly skilled ball ability, the breakthrough route selection can always hit the point, the mid-range shot is more attacking, and his offensive time is always very accurate, he is a relatively good attacker. In terms of playmaking guards, he's not as good as Paul and isn't a standout opportunity creator, but he's done a good job of getting his pace, finding open teammates and sharing the ball, and he's especially good at handling when to play team basketball and when to shoot on his own, making him a reasonable and reliable point guard.
Moreover, a very key point: in terms of single defense, Conley is basically already a stable top five active point guard: smart foot, fast hand, accurate and bright positioning, does not leave the slightest gap for the opponent, smart, and his prediction is also very good.
These are all the strengths of Conley, but he also has some problems: sometimes, what the Grizzlies need is not a one-sided positional offensive attack, nor is it the kind of offense and defense that is a carrot and a pit, what they need is an unreasonable score, just like Chen Yu's performance.
But Conley clearly couldn't do that......
Of course, his current salary is seven or eight million, and you can't ask him to do Paul's work.
In addition, Tony Allen is also likely to become a player who defends Chen Yu, because Tony Allen's defensive ability can be said to be obvious to everyone in the league.
In the same playoffs, he guarded Paul and Durant ...... Paul and Durant are arguably two people with a huge disparity in height, and both are now the strongest hostages in the league. But they have all been defended by Tony Allen, so you can imagine how far this man's defensive ability and defensive coverage have reached.
Of course, this guy is still very flawed on the offensive side.
Chen Yu already had some ways to deal with these two people in his heart.
In today's game, there were a lot of cameras pointing at Elizabeth on the side of the pitch...... Elizabeth came to see Chen Yu's game today, but she looked down and generous in front of the camera, and if someone said hello or something, she responded more simply, and didn't make everyone feel embarrassed or anything.
However, there are still many people who have taken her photos as their news headlines, after all, Elizabeth can be said to be big or small when she comes to see Chen Yu's kind of news.
On the court, the game officially began!
At first, both sides entered a state of iron.
The Grizzlies' offensive iron can be said to be a relatively common thing, and there is no shortage of blacksmiths on their side, but the Lakers' defense today is not good, and it is obvious that this is more of a problem with the Grizzlies' hand.
Compared with the Grizzlies' feel problem, the Lakers' iron problem is more serious...... Because it's not mainly a matter of feel, but the Grizzlies directly use Tony Allen and Conley to wrap Chen Yu!
This treatment can be said to be quite powerful, after all, this proves the significance of Chen Yu in the eyes of the Grizzlies team.
If you want to use two defensive giants to cover the man, his threat can be imagined.
In fact, there have been some teams that have tried to trap Chen Yu before, but their team's defensive system is more problematic, it is difficult to really prevent Chen Yu, there will always be a little gap, Chen Yu's current breakthrough ability is already very good, so Chen Yu can use the breakthrough to contain their bag. And everyone needs to rest, and it is impossible for them to impose a trap on Chen Yu all the time from beginning to end.
But everyone knows that the teammates of the Lakers Chen Yu are not very reliable, except for Gasol, many other players have more or less such problems, which is why many teams dare to cover Chen Yu.
And today the Grizzlies really went one step further! started to wrap Chen Yu directly from the beginning, so that Chen Yu was not suitable for such a defense, as for the follow-up problems, they planned to wait until later to think about it, and now they will talk about it first! If Chen Yu can be directly sandwiched to death, he will be able to compete in other ways after that, and Chen Yu may not be able to set off any waves at that time.
Chen Yu was indeed very uncomfortable by such a bag, after all, these two people are defensive giants, and their purpose is very simple, that is, to force Chen Yu to pass, and then try to force him to make mistakes!
Chen Yu was very uncomfortable at first, and it was difficult to use a set of methods to deal with them in his head.
The NBA is like that, sometimes it's not like you're going to be able to laugh at everybody because you're going to be able to get up, they're still going to have a lot of problems.
In the process of solving problems, it is possible for a player's strength to improve.
After playing a few balls, Chen Yu felt that if he really fell into the bag, he would need the cooperation of real teammates.
Fortunately, Chen Yu is not the only one with organizational skills in the Lakers, in fact, Gasol on the Lakers' side is also a good organizer.
So Chen Yu also had an idea in his head that could solve the problem......
