Chapter 130: Dramatic Results (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, 3/3)
Just like Jackson thought, the Grizzlies went on a rampage in the second quarter! However, the final score difference did not exceed 10 points. 50:42! In the third quarter of the game, Zhou Yang still did not play, and Odom led the team to the last 76:71! The difference has narrowed to 5 points!
Gasol was anxious at first, but when he got to the back, he could only watch the distance get closer a little bit.
The Lakers' form is getting better and better, while the Memphis players on the floor are the opposite.
"Meme, Zhou Yang, and Wharton, you can all pass the ball out at a certain time instead of ......attacking yourself," Jackson called the players to the scene after watching the players come back and began to talk.
He now felt the need to talk to them about how to play the final quarter. Odom was on the verge of exhaustion after the third quarter. Jackson had no intention of letting him go up again.
"The team scores a little bit more on the outside. The other side is doing a good job here. Although they are not very consistent, there is still a chance that we will end up in this section. Vujacic and Fisher, you have to keep it in shape, and if you feel like you don't feel good shooting, tell me, I'm going to take a timeout......"
In the last section, the Zen master's adjustment to the Lakers is still quite big. What he means is to weaken the front end of the line and increase the intensity of the attack on the outside. Wharton is also on the pitch to help them better.
The main players on the Grizzlies side are back, and the players who played in this quarter were Gasol, White, Battier, Miller and Jones! As soon as Jackson saw this setup, he felt that he might have to lose another game.
The Lakers' Mime replaced Odom. Miller came to the front court quickly with the ball! The fans at the scene began to shout wildly! Miller at this time is still very strong!
Vujasic was directly passed by the opponent in the past defense! When Wharton just ran over, Miller hit a three-point jumper! 79:71! The Grizzlies head coach was a little relieved to see the scene.
With this momentum, they may be able to control the situation in no time. A victory is about to be in the bag. Fisher got Mime's serve and slowly went to the frontcourt, and was sandwiched by Miller and Jones just after halftime!
Both Vujacic and Fisher did a good job of shooting accuracy today! So the team decided to guard against Fisher! Wharton immediately came out and took the pass from Xiaoyu, quickly dribbled to the basket, and distributed the ball to Vujacic, who had already run to the bottom corner!
After the latter three points were missing, Mime picked up a rebound! Zhou Yang turned around and asked for the ball! After taking the basketball, he faced Battier and White and hit a three-point jumper with a large backwards!
Gasol ran over immediately in annoyance! Batil passed the ball directly to Gasol after half court, and Da Gasol directly used his footsteps to shake Zhou Yang and Mime away and scored a jumper!
After Zhou Yang took the initiative to ask for the ball, he gave Vujacic a look! The latter ran a few times before getting rid of the start, Jones directly picked up the basketball and pulled out the jumper, and the three-point shot went into the net hollow into the net! 81:77!
The other party directly asked for a timeout.
"Fisher and Zhou Yang should be careful! They don't have an inside line now! Basketball has to hit the opponent's basket more......"
"Go Smush. Zhou Yang should not play an offensive role too often, you have to attract the opponent's defense and then find opportunities to give the ball to the right players. Is that good? The Zen master said to Zhou Yang seriously at this time.
"Okay, I will"
'We're close to each other right now and they can quickly make us lose our desire to fight. Or what can we fight with them. Playing is about how we can make an attack go well, not always thinking about how I can score......"
When they said these things before, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal didn't care at all. But now these Lakers players are listening to him! Maybe it's good that the two of them are away from the team for a while.
It kind of allows them to see that the team can continue to function without them. As a coach who came from Jordan's time. Jackson didn't want to cater to any star and make him play to the satisfaction of his game.
But in this day and age, there are times when you have to get to know your players better. Especially the wonderful guys. Jackson has also been battling with them in recent years.
Coaches are expected to implement the tactical concepts they have researched and analyzed. And the players have to do what the coach asks them to do. Now the Zen master feels like he's feeling again. The team started to get stronger after listening to him! Although there is no Kobe Bryant here, and there is no O'Neal.
Both sides came back again. If Xiaoyu is completely restricted by the other party, then his value will not be reflected. Odom still didn't play, which was a relief to the Memphis side.
Miller catches the ball and throws it! The basketball was brushed three times in the basket and was finally dunked into the basket by Gasol just as it was about to come out! The Lakers are fast! After getting Zhou Yang's serve, Smush rushed directly to the front court!
He didn't pass the ball to Vujacic or Wharton. Zhou Yang behind him just came over and got the basketball directly, and after seeing that the other party was still relatively loose, he immediately faced Gasol with a violent dunk!
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yang would still choose to pass the ball. But when the opportunity comes out, you have to score right away! With Battier's three points no! Wharton grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Zhou Yang!
Vujacic took the basketball and made a decisive pass to Smush when he saw two opposing players pounce on him in the front court. He is a little bottomless now, and his hands don't feel as hot as in the third quarter! And after taking the basketball, Smush jumped up and hit a three-point shot!
"This team is pretty strong, right now," James said, sitting down after winning the SuperSonics game and watching the Lakers vs. Grizzlies game.
"Have you heard of a guy named Zhou Yang?" Hughes said casually at this time next to the TV.
"We are an agent, of course we know him, what is it called...... 'Yao Ming No. 2'? Get rid of it, I don't know who gave it, the two of them are not in the same position, okay~"
LeBron, who was refreshed after taking a shower, was wearing a coat at this time. The expression is very relaxed.
"An agent of yours? Then this Asian player should be quite good! Did I hear that your agent also signed a guy named Paul this year? Oh my god this kid passes the ball! ”
"That's right! He also signed Zhou Yang this year. We haven't met yet," James and Hughes, who were already dressed at this point, began to watch the rest of the game on the Lakers' side.
......
"They're moving very quickly as a team. Especially the last section. The game is over. They played well," the Grizzlies coach's expression at the press conference could tell that he was not reconciled. But in the end, it was the Lakers who won the game.
99:98! Such a score is so unexpected! Zhou Yang passed the ball to Mime at the last moment, and everyone thought Zhou Yang would shoot. But the grizzly bears were wrong.
Gasol 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks! Varick had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Miller had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists! Battier 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals! Damon had 12 points and three assists.
The Lakers' Odom had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists! Zhou Yang 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists! Cook had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Fisher had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists! Vujacic 19 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists!
After the game, although the players were tired, everyone still found a place to play~
