The second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Grizzlies started at the Sleep Train Arena!

The starting lineups of both teams were the same as in the previous game, and the Grizzlies felt they were sure to win the last game. Hollins said that they will still stick to their own style of play in this game, and the offensive problem Coach Hollins believes his disciples can find a solution.

However, Hollins obviously underestimated this young Kings team, the Kings were full of morale at the beginning of this game, Cousins continued to single Gasol Jr. on the inside, as the core of the entire Grizzlies team's defense, Gasol Jr.'s defensive ability is naturally absolutely top, and now at the age of 27, he signed the first big contract of his career this season, and was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, it can be said that Gasol Jr. is gradually approaching the peak of his career.

In the last game, although it could not be said that the Kings' interior offense was completely restricted, Gasol Jr.'s single defense of Cousins did make Cousins very uncomfortable, and at the same time, his interior defense, delaying offense, and interfering with breakthroughs all caused the Kings to have trouble to a certain extent.

It can be said that without Gasol Jr.'s defense, the Grizzlies' interior line in the last game would definitely be beaten into a sieve, and this time Cousins showed an extremely full state at the beginning, and his hunger for winning this game can be seen from the eyes of this big man.

Although Cousins is only in the second year of his career, his offensive skills are at least in the top five of all interior lines in the league.

Gasol Jr. is tall and long and stands in an excellent position, but in the face of this flexible black fat man with guard control skills, Gasol Jr. was directly rushed to the middle by Cousins, and Gasol Jr., who lost his position, couldn't squeeze out the strong Cousins, Cousins scored his first goal of the game with a dunk on Gasol Jr.!

Then Cousins continued to make difficulties, holding the ball and hitting Gasol Jr., it is naturally very simple to carry Gasol Jr. to the basket, but Cousins is not a black and hard man with rough skills, and his mid-range feel is softer than many No. 4 positions who are good at mid-range shooting, and he turned over and hit the jumper again!

And that's not all, after Cousins Caron. Butler's bottom corner split the ball and hit another three-pointer on the wing!

The start was led by Cousins, with the help of Cuarón. Butler hit a three-pointer and the Kings started with a wave of 12-0!

The crowd cheered, and the game seemed to be in the rhythm of the Kings early......

"Hahaha, Jerry, it looks like the Grizzlies are still immersed in the loss of the last game...... It looks like it's going to be an easy game to win......," Napier, the sideline commentator, said happily.

"That's right, Grant, the team started with full firepower, and the Grizzlies were obviously a little uncomfortable...... But DeMarcus is really comprehensive, this is the second year of his career, and DeMarcus will definitely be the No. 1 center in the league in the next few years! Tyrek and DeMarcus, once the two reach their respective peaks, this terrifying combination should be unbeatable...... Ha ha...... If these two were from other teams, then I'd be so red-eyed, okay...... They're all the heart of the Kings! ”

As Napier and Raiz said, the Grizzlies' opening performance in this game was a reflection of the whole game. Grizzlies fans also thought that the Grizzlies would show their tenacity again even if they adjusted their condition, but it backfired, and the Grizzlies were beaten by the Kings from the beginning of the game until the last minute.

Tyrek began to play in the second half of the first quarter of the game, and his sharp breakthroughs tore apart Conley and Allen's outside defense again and again, their defense was strong, but the Kings were in full shape in this game, and the victory in the last game inspired their fighting spirit even more, and Tyrek was the first to bear the brunt. When Tyrek is fully immersed on the basketball court, no amount of defense can limit him with the best offensive ability in the league.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, who were already weak in offense, were obviously a little confused by the opening attack wave, and the offensive end made frequent mistakes, and the more they played, the more chaotic they became, and the scores of the two sides were constantly pulled apart......

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led the Grizzlies by a full 20 points, 32-12 at home!

The Grizzlies' defense, which is based on defense, is overwhelmed by their opponents, and they also lose their last hope of winning......

"Tyrek played a fast attack, 1 to 2 in the frontcourt, facing Tony who was chasing the defense. Aaron and Maris in front of him. Speights, Terek...... Beautiful European step dodge Speights and pick a basket! ”

"Tyrek has the ball up front and gives it to Omi, Rudy. Guy pressed, Omi transferred the ball to Anthony who was running, OJ Mayo stepped forward to intercept, Rudy Gay sandwiched, Anthony passed back to Omi again, Omi made a three-point shot, and hit the !! ”

"Isaiah broke the ball in the backcourt, played a double with Kenneth, 2 to 1 in the frontcourt, Isaiah threw the ball high, Kenneth flew up, Dante. Cunningham tried to block it, but he dunked it violently!! Then play 2+1!! This ball is still catching up with Kenneth who is taking off, isn't this a penalty......"

"Tyrek singled out O.J. Mayo at half-time and changed direction in front of the body...... Shake out of the space, go inside or ...... Tyrek directly stopped and pulled out his hand! Pregnant! ...... Re-!! The gap between the two teams is too big to catch up!! ”

Although Randolph didn't play in the last game, but fortunately, he was able to shoot from the outside, which allowed them to bite the score, if it wasn't for a wave of point difference, maybe the Grizzlies dragged the game into the final moment and still had a chance to win.

However, the Grizzlies played a mess in this game, and the proud defense did not play, and the offensive end collapsed across the board, Randolph followed the downturn in the last game, and this game was directly incarnated as an invisible man, Gasol Jr. did not get a few offensive opportunities throughout the game, and the outside players played frequently, and the best performance of the whole team was actually relegated to OJ Mayo, who was relegated to the bench last season, and it was difficult to win such a performance, let alone the imposing Kings......

The Kings led the Grizzlies by 38 points in the third quarter! In the end, they beat the Grizzlies by 42 points 117-75 at home! The 42-point margin is also the largest margin so far in the playoffs this season, and there is a good chance that there will be no bigger margin this season......

Tyreco and Cousins both scored 30+, Tyreco scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, and Cousins even swept a game-high 39 points and a game-high rebound of 19 boards, the young twin stars played a masterpiece in the second playoff game of their careers!

The Kings went 2-0 with a big win, and tonight's Sleep Train Arena was destined to be a sea of joy, while the Grizzlies had to leave the game in disgrace......
