Chapter 189: Playoffs Intensity Defense

Defending Conley is Jimmy, Jimmy is very excited today, as an older rookie who is late in the first round and may even fall out of the first round, can get so many opportunities in the regular season and become a starter, and now can stand on the stage of the playoffs as a starter, Jimmy is very content, and he is also eager to show his value on the stage of the playoffs, telling the team how wise it is to choose himself.

Jimmy's defense has been recognized by everyone in the regular season, Conley has a certain ability to break through, but in the face of the tall Jimmy, he will not force the pass, Conley gave the ball to Randolph on the inside.

Randolph has suffered injuries this season, but fortunately he returned in time, at this time in the playoff competition, Randolph is still an extremely important point for the Grizzlies, especially in the offense, due to the Kings' weak outside firepower, on the offensive end need Randolph's low-post killer to chisel and create opportunities.

Randolph received the ball and hit West with his back, West and Randolph are of the same age and height, Randolph is heavier and larger, both of them are veterans who have been in the league for many years, and the confrontation between the two in this round of playoffs can be said to be-for-tat.

The two also suffered injuries this season, and it happened that West's injury was precisely because he stepped on Randolph's instep in the regular season against the Grizzlies and suffered a sprained left ankle, but West's injury was not serious, and West's return from injury was no different from his previous performance on the court. Randolph is different, because of a knee injury he took a two-and-a-half-month break in the regular season this season, his physical condition is obviously not 100% recovered, although his body is still strong, but the explosiveness and speed have obviously declined compared to the same period last year, plus his weight is larger, the load on the knee is greater, and the action is obviously a little clumsy.

Randolph wanted to rely on his body to force out of West, but the equally strong West didn't give Randolph a chance at all, the game just started, Randolph also wanted to try his touch, after clicking a step, with his right foot as the axis, turned over and shot a mid-distance jumper!

The pop-up box is missing! Cousins confiscates the rebound!

"Jerry, you see, just looking at this ball can clearly feel Randolph's decline this season, as the biggest contributor to the defeat of the Spurs last season to stage the Black Eight Miracle, in that round of the playoffs, Randolph can be said to have devoured the entire Spurs inside, and no one can limit him in the back single. Judging from the Grizzlies' first goal, after a year, because of injuries, Randolph couldn't resist West's ...... at all."

"That's right, Grant, although it can't be said that Randolph has completely declined, after all, his injury has definitely not fully recovered, and the decline in explosiveness is real, even if his form can pick up next season, then if it is next season, just look at this round of playoffs, we will face Randolph's threat will inevitably be much smaller than last year's Spurs, which is a big positive......"

With Randolph not scoring from mid-range, the Kings were driven by Tyrek with the ball in quick motion. Aaron & Mike. Conley and the two quickly retreated, but the two still couldn't keep up with the speed of Tyreco's stride, Tyrek directly relied on his own big stride to shake off the pursuit of the two, and won a layup!

The fans cheered and Tyrek scored the first goal of the game!

"Well done! Tyrek's solo fast break is really overwhelming, and once Tyrek is given the opportunity to play a fast attack, there is almost no way to prevent it! The speed of the person who retreats can be faster than Tyrek is very few, if the speed can be faster than Tyrek, it must not be as strong as Tyrek, with Tyrek's physical fitness, it can completely resist the confrontation into an attack, plus Tyrek's terrifying ball sense, it is too difficult to defend! ”

Tyrek's rush to the fast break was indeed powerful, but soon Tyrek and the entire Kings felt the pressure from the playoffs......

After a period of continuous probing in the opening period, the Grizzlies gradually found their form, and Zach was the first offensive point on the offensive end. Randolph's performance has never been able to improve, Gasol Jr.'s offensive ability is not outstanding, and Gay's offensive efficiency is not as high as usual, but today's Grizzlies with weak outside firepower are unusually accurate, especially Conley, who hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, but with such an offensive level alone, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Kings team with the two aces of Tyrek and Cousins, and the Grizzlies still rely on their top defense!

In the regular season, the Grizzlies' defense has suffocated their opponents, and in the playoffs, it has intensified, and it can be said that the most resistant opponent in the heart of the team that enters the playoffs in the West is the Grizzlies.

Although Randolph is still affected by injuries at this time and his strength has been reduced, Randolph's proportion in the Grizzlies' defensive system is not high, as long as he can withstand the opposing offensive players, such a task can still be done by Randolph today, and the rest will be handed over to Gasol Jr. and Allen and Conley on the outside.

Allen's only mission in this round of the playoffs is to keep an eye on Tyreek, which is also the Grizzlies' most important task, and once Tyrek is choked, the Kings' offense will be greatly affected. Allen's outside defense is no worse than the Kings' defensive elite Jimmy, although he is slightly inferior to Jimmy in terms of physical condition, but he is more experienced, has a richer defensive strategy, and is more ferocious than Jimmy, and is a defender that any outside star player would not want to face.

Tyrek has long understood Allen's defense many times, Tyrek must admit Allen's difficulty, and in the playoffs, Allen has played his defense to the extreme, in the home court of the Kings, Allen is still not afraid to continue to pressure Tyrek, rich experience makes him free from the edge of the referee's blowing, and the constant physical contact makes Tyrek play very hard, coupled with the interference ability of Gasol Jr. on the inside, it is difficult for Tyrek to get a good offensive opportunity after scoring the first goal of the fast break.

At the same time, another offensive point, Cousins, also encountered Gasol Jr.'s strong defense on the inside, facing Cousins, Gasol Jr. with his outstanding defensive awareness, repeatedly occupied advantageous defensive positions, coupled with outstanding height and arm span, so that Cousins also fell into a hard fight on the inside.

The Kings' style of play has been slow to play, and the Grizzlies' overall defense in positional battles has also made it difficult for the Kings to play continuous and effective cooperation, although the Grizzlies still have a weak lead on the road at the end of the first quarter despite the above-average outside touch today......
