Chapter 325: Stunned by the Grizzly Bear
Preventing others from killing Zhang Yi allowed him to score alone, and the Grizzlies' tactics quickly paid off. For example, the Lakers are now so focused on passing the ball and cooperating with the overall team, and suddenly biting other people leads to a big rhythm chaos.
The Grizzlies' defensive ability is already very strong, coupled with the formation of a regional advantage, when the Lakers did not realize that they would give the ball to Zhang Yi in the first half, their offense kept making mistakes, and forcing their shots was also the result of hitting the iron.
The previous lead was also wiped out in an instant, and if Zhang Yi hadn't turned on the singles mode, the Grizzlies could have turned the score around before the end of the first half.
"Holly, this old fox really has a set." Wacker crossed his shoulders and said angrily that he had suffered a lot from the Warriors' defense when he was playing. At that time, Hawley was just a defensive coach, and who would have thought that after so many years, he would have become a famous coach who won two best coaches.
Zhang Yi can shoot suddenly, and it is relatively easy to score in the face of Oppe's one-on-one defense. In addition, in order to block others, Opp's attention is also on assisting in defense and blocking Zhang Yi's passing route.
Even if the opportunity is good, Zhang Yi will be interfered with by the defenders around him at the moment of shooting, and everyone in the Grizzlies team is very motivated to defend. When it was confirmed that he would make his own move, he would immediately make a bag again.
Before the end of the first half, because of interfering with the Lakers' offense, the Grizzlies hit consecutive three-pointers, not only to pull the score back, but also to lead by two points in the end.
The Lakers' disgrace here can be regarded as a response to everyone's predictions before the game. No matter how strong Zhang Yi and Robert's offensive ability is, it is only two strong points, and the Grizzlies are all soldiers. That's the difference in squad depth.
This Grizzlies has also been called a strong team killer, such as the Golden State Warriors, an offensive powerhouse has to suffer here, not to mention the Lakers, who are far behind in other people's offense.
Hawley was confident that the final victory would be theirs. So his expression is also relaxed when facing the camera, and not only him, but also the Grizzlies players are also talking and laughing, as if the first half was just a warm-up game, and the real show has just begun.
"Wacker, what should I do?" Zhang Yi did not sit down but did a simple warm-up, because in the first half, he attacked very frequently, and his body could not rest immediately.
Everyone else also looked at the head coach, because the Grizzlies went from defending Zhang Yi from the beginning to letting Zhang Yi attack, and it was obvious that they were preparing in advance.
Seeing everyone's eager gaze, Wacker just scratched his head, and then put the tactical board aside, "The Grizzlies' defense is just a zone defense, you don't have to worry." ”
"Everyone knows this, the key is how to solve it. Could it be that the second half also relied on Zhang Yi to play alone? When Oscar said in an unkind tone, Wacker glared at him, "Michael?? Jordan, Kobe?? Bryant and countless other superstars have enjoyed this treatment, have they flinched? ”
Because the Grizzlies' defense is originally a hooligan style of play, by limiting Zhang Yi's teammates, he can only do it alone. In addition, their defensive speed can interfere at the last minute.
This not only blocks the rest of the Lakers, but also effectively interferes with Zhang Yi's offense. Of course, this tactic cannot be said to be foolproof, because if Zhang Yi plays a super god play, then this tactic is digging his own grave.
Hawley, of course, also thought of this, and the only solution was to get Zhang Yi down, although the idea was dirty, but there are many things in NBA history that will do anything to win.
If the Grizzlies want to step on the first place in the West and the undefeated mythical Lakers to get on the top, the simplest and most brutal way is to get Zhang Yi into foul trouble or directly hurt him......
His idea is also tacit in the Grizzlies locker room, because not only Opp, but also the backup small forward can be used in some ways.
At the beginning of the second half, although Wacker said that he wanted Zhang Yi to continue to play alone, he still pressed him to the bench to rest. He hit 10 of 18 shots in the first half and scored 25 points. Zhang Yi is not a brush, and his scoring efficiency is not a matter of this game.
However, after being let go by the Grizzlies, the shooting rate did not improve, which also proves from the side that Zhang Yi is now under great psychological pressure. He's too much like winning. If a child has always been a genius and is the first in every exam, the blow of suddenly falling to second place is huge.
Wacker also wanted Zhang Yi to adjust his mentality, even if he lost this game, it didn't matter. Because a player must learn to lose, otherwise even if the regular season record is amazing, it is inevitable that there will be losses in the playoffs or even the finals. If the mentality collapses by then, it will be too much to lose.
Seeing that Zhang Yi was not sent to the court, Hawley rubbed the bridge of his nose and thought that this game was stable, because it was obvious that the Lakers did not intend to desperately want to win.
Wacker's protection of Zhang Yi is very correct, even if Hawley doesn't plan to do anything to this newcomer, he can't say for sure when he arrives at the Grizzly Bears on the court.
Without Zhang Yi's strong output, the Lakers' offense was pressed on Robert. Although he can deal with it, it is like the tactic of letting Zhang Yi defend the other four.
The Grizzlies continued to do this, and Robert attacked casually with the ball, let alone fast, and couldn't even play the usual tactics. No matter how steady his attack is, he is a little confused when he is suddenly let go like this.
Zhang Yi sat on the bench and watched nervously, because it was already Robert's third miss. Although both players can shoot and burst, it can be called an offensive kaleidoscope.
But Robert is not Zhang Yi after all, and the stability of the offense is still a lot worse. Although his three-point shooting may be a little better than Zhang Yi's, the Grizzlies' strategy is to never put three points, and shoot and break through casually.
Having lost his biggest threat, Robert was tired with every shot, but still couldn't play well. When the Grizzlies' offense became more and more fluid, they quickly stretched the score to double digits.
Zhang Yi stood up suddenly, then came behind Wacker and said, "Let me get on it!" "Is it five minutes?" WACKER replied unhurriedly.
"Do you still have to care about time now, it doesn't matter if I don't take a minute off." As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Wacker suddenly turned around and looked at him with a terrifying smile, "I'm protecting you!" ”
"But what's the point of losing like that?" Zhang Yi replied categorically, because no matter what conspiracy the Grizzlies have, he is a professional basketball player, and the only purpose of playing is to win!
"Well, I'm scared of you!" Wacker reluctantly signaled to the referee to make a substitution, "Don't mess around!" It's just a normal regular season ......" "I know! ”
