Chapter Eighty-Eight: True Defense Comes First

The Kings were the first to get the ball, and the Kings still used the starting lineup for the first two games of the season. Conley, Tony. Aaron, Rudy. Guy, Zach. Randolph, Mark. Gasol is all on the scene.

Tyrek has the ball in front of him, and in front of him is Tony. Alan.

During the Boston Celtics, Tony. Allen has shown great defensive ability from the outside, and his selection to the All-Defensive Team No. 2 last season is the best affirmation of his defensive ability.

Tony. Allen's defense is extremely aggressive, and at the same time the defense is passionate, and he is currently the strongest one-on-one defense in the entire league.

The first offense of the game, coupled with the fact that it was the most important away game, Tyrek naturally wanted to play with momentum and face Tony, who is the league's leading perimeter defense. Aaron, Tyrek is still determined to tear up the defense in the way he does best!

Holding the ball from beyond the three-point line and shaking continuously, Toney. Aaron doesn't have any defenders who just bluff his arms to block Tyrek's breakout. Aaron took the initiative to get close to Tyrek in the face of Tyreco's continuous shaking, and continuously reached out to try to break the ball!

Tony. Aaron kept trying to fight physically, testing the referee's blow scale, and a pair of palms wrapped around Terrick like two tightropes.

Such a tough defense made Tyrick very uncomfortable, but with his natural ball sense and strong body, Tyrick was able to keep himself from being beaten by Tony in consecutive dribbles. Allen breaks the ball.

Finally, after a cross-step dribble, Tyrek tricked Tony. Aaron's footsteps cut a narrow gap from the left side of his body, but just scratched Tony. On Allen's side, he immediately turned to chase after him, still reaching behind Terek to try to break the ball. Tyrek holds the ball around his waist and makes a three-step layup near the free throw line! At this point in front of him, the Grizzlies' interior barrier Mark . Gasol has squeezed away Cousins, who is opposite him, at this time, grabbed an excellent defensive position, facing Gasol Jr., who is 2.16 meters tall, Gasol Jr.'s position is extremely advantageous at this time, and there is no space for Tyrek to shoot at all, and Tyrek has a great chance of being covered if he chooses to make a layup reluctantly. Terek saw David in the high post on the right. West, fake cast true biography!

"Smack!"

The Tyrek ball was sliced off before it left his hand!

It's Tony who is behind Tyrek. Alan! The passing path behind Tyrek was completely deflected by Tony. Allen locked up and the moment he hit the ball, he was killed by Tony. Aaron reached out and broke it!

The Grizzlies immediately formed a quick counterattack, and Tony. Allen passes the ball to Mike in front of him. Conley, Conley advanced quickly with the ball, rushed before the Kings retreated, scored quickly, and made a layup lightly! The Grizzlies score first!

"Beautiful! Mike! Terec just leave it to me! Too easy. ”

After Conley's goal, Tony. Allen roared with his arms raised, not only fierce defensively, but also good at infecting his teammates with his passion.

The Kings started from this ball and felt the strong defensive deterrence of the Grizzlies, and the Spurs also used various defensive strategies against the Kings in the last game, but the Spurs' team defense was not as extreme as the Grizzlies, this is a real defensive iron army, a tough team that is really defense-based!

The main point guard on the outside, Mike. Although Conley is a floor flow style of play, but Conley, who was born in a family of athletes, is quite physically strong, with a slightly inferior absolute strength but excellent bounce, although he is only 1.85 meters tall, but he will not suffer too much against anyone in defense. At the same time, Conley's defense is very smart, he will force opponents into the team's defensive trap, relying on the team's super defensive system to strangle opponents.

Gasol Jr. is the core of the team's interior defense, Gasol Jr. has a tall and arm span, excellent defensive awareness, and is very good at using his body to put pressure on the defenders who break through. Gasol Jr.'s partner Zach. Although Randolph's defense is not his strongest point, but in the face of the opponent's interior attack, Randolph uses his weight, no matter who can easily defend, plus Gasol Jr.'s defense, the two big men on the inside line are simply overshadowing.

Arrowhead figure Tony on the perimeter defense. Allen is a nightmare for all outside players, "I don't understand the offense, but you don't want to understand it either" is a response to Tony. Allen's best interpretation, his super single defense ability allows him to greatly limit the opponent's main point of attack. Allen barely covers and keeps the ball carrier at all times, while his perfect sense of help also connects the inside and outside defences.

Rudy in the third position. Guy isn't particularly tough defensively, but his excellent physicality makes him not a target to be slaughtered.

The Grizzlies not only have excellent individual defense ability, but also their team defense, outside pressure and strict defense in the restricted area, lock up the shooting opportunities on the outside, force the ball carrier to the restricted area, and the outside defenders cooperate with the inside gate to jointly strangle. The whole team is like a huge grinding plate, making the opponent feel pressure all the time, grinding the opponent little by little on the defensive end!

The Kings are either Tyrek or Cousins, or the seasoned veteran David Brown. West, on the offensive end, is like a deep quagmire, the team's offensive rhythm is fragmented, the offensive efficiency is very low, although the Kings' main lineup has a strong offensive talent, but it has not been able to open the situation.

However, although the Grizzlies' defense is second to none in the league, their offense is still a little constipated, although they limit the Kings' offense quite well, but they can't get much advantage in the offense, the inside black and white bears face Cousins and West's interior combination does not have much advantage, although Conley is stable enough in the backcourt combination, but the scoring ability is not strong, Tony. Allen has almost no offense, and the only player on the outside is Rudy. Guy.

Rudy. Guy is a key figure in tandem with the Grizzlies' interior and exterior offense, with relatively average ability in all aspects, no obvious weaknesses, no dead ends in shooting, and a good single ability, but Guy's efficiency is not high, he has everything, but there is always a gap from the first-line stars. Guy faces a strong and sophisticated Caron. Butler, even if he played evenly.

In the end, although the scores of the two teams were very low, the two teams did not open up any gap in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies ended the first quarter with a 2-point lead over the Kings at 22-20.
