Chapter 159: Grizzlies Lead
Opening jump shot, Brad Miller wins.
In the opening Grizzlies offense, Brad Miller fell high, Raheem fell low, Maddie was 45 degrees on the right side, Sean Marion was in the bottom corner, Mike Bibby held the ball at the top of the arc, and the Grizzlies' Princeton tactics went straight to play.
Mike Bibby held the ball past the screen, and without hand-to-hand cooperation, he accelerated directly and cut inside with the ball.
On the other side, Maddie went around to the bottom corner of the same side, Sean Marion pulled outside the three-point line, the Grizzlies' run was different from the previous games, and Rick Adelman on the sidelines also froze and looked at Pete Carell with an inquiring gaze.
Pete Carell shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand it for the time being.
Mike Bibi cut in with the ball and hit Divac's defense head-on, plus Jason Williams was behind, Mike Bibie's breakthrough with the ball was naturally fruitless.
However, he made a pass straight back to Brad Miller behind him, and then suddenly he went around the low post again, and Raheem made a sideways cover.
High in the arc, after Brad Miller received the ball, Divac was forced to pounce, so, after a cover in the low post, Mike Biby appeared directly under the basket, Brad Miller hoisted the ball inside, Mike Biby received a layup, and easily scored 2 points.
After watching this wave of attacks, Pete Carrell understood.
He frowned: "Mike Bibby broke through and forced Vlad out of the box, and then Mike Bibby continued to cut the basket in the air, and there was no one to defend under our basket, and the opportunity came out like this." ”
Originally, Divac let Brad Miller take a step away and guarded the penalty area.
But Mike Bibi made a breakthrough around the cover, Divac had to save to make up for the defense, just this move, the Grizzlies directly broke the King's defensive formation, Divac could not pounce to make up for the defense, if not to make up the defense, Mike Bibby could shoot directly in the mid-range position.
But as soon as he made up his defense, the penalty area was empty.
As long as the penalty area is empty, next, the Grizzlies' Princeton offense can be played casually, and they can find gaps to score, and the same is true for Maddie and Sean Marion's strange runs, if necessary, Maddie and Sean Marion will slip to the bottom line at the same time, this run, there are many opportunities.
Pete Carell sighed: "The Grizzlies still found the essence of Princeton's tactics, although I can't figure it out, how did China Joe train such a Princeton offense?" Could it be that he is really a tactical genius? ”
Rick Adelman shook his head, he thought, if it was him, without Pete Carell's help, would he be able to organize the King's current Princeton attack?
After thinking about it, he didn't think it would work.
The Grizzlies opened the game, and McBrin praised it: "Beautiful offense, Mike Bibby scored an easy layup, the Grizzlies played well offensively, and the Grizzlies scored one point first in the Princeton battle!" ”
On the other side, the king's offensive also began.
Jason Williams holds the ball and Chris Webber responds with a high post.
Qiao Hai also did a lot of research on the King's Princeton offense, and his research was not carried out before the start of this game, but after taking over the Grizzlies, he needed to know more about Princeton's tactics, so Qiao Hai watched the King's game for the whole season last season.
Coupled with the 4 games of this season, Qiao Hai also saw a lot of things.
Compared with the Grizzlies' Princeton tactics, the biggest difference in the Kings' Princeton tactics is that they have a fixed core - Chris Webber, and at the same time, Vlad Divac will assist Chris Weber, there are two big men on the court who can pass the ball, and they can cooperate with each other, and it is difficult for the Kings to think badly on offense.
Webb responded with a high post and Divac moved to the other side, Jason Williams, Collis Williams and Nick Anderson ran without the ball, but the Grizzlies' defensive position was a little unmoving.
The three small players are running, but Sean Marion is fixed on the strong side with the ball, staring at Webb, as for Corris Williams, who he wants to defend, he has other players to fill the vacancy, anyway, one of the opponent's three small players must be on the strong side, and Sean Marion will not be out of position defensively.
This is the strong side multi-person pressing defense, Qiao Hai put an extra Sean Marion on the strong side, Webb passes, or passes to the weak side, but the weak side Grizzlies will definitely have one-on-one defense.
Or pass to the strong side, but there is Sean Marion on the strong side, and he can make up for the defense or flank at any time.
Webb held the ball high and looked for an opportunity for a while, but he didn't find it, he dribbled the ball twice, took two steps inside, and then saw Sean Marion approaching him, and quickly passed the ball to Nick Anderson.
But the Grizzlies' defense was very timely, Maddie made up for it, Sean Marion appeared in front of Webb, Raheem let go of Webb, went around to the weak side, and directly changed the defense, so around, although the King passed an opportunity, but whether it was the strong side or the weak side, the Grizzlies' defense was still one-on-one.
The first pass didn't find a chance, and the Kings had to keep running.
But time was running out, and in a hurry, they could only give the ball to Chris Webb, Webber singled Sean Marion, which seemed to be a misplaced single, but Webber, who could also play Marion in the fourth position, had no chance, and the turnaround jumper was directly interfered with.
Bang, didn't go in.
Rick Adelman on the sidelines has already seen that the Grizzlies' defense is a pseudo-joint defense, relying on the defensive end to constantly change defenses and strangle the Kings' off-ball run.
To break down this defense, the Kings had to find a way to get the ball to the weak side and play a time difference between Raheem and the weak side.
But with such a dozen, the Princeton tactics are also half useless.
Rick Adelman was a little helpless and didn't seem to have much to do, but Pete Carell was quick to give his opinion: "Let them increase their cover and pick-and-roll handles." ”
On the court, the Grizzlies' offense is here again.
In terms of defense, this king lacks excellent defensive players, and does not have a very good defensive system, Qiao Hai has always believed that the reason that prevented the king from succeeding in his previous life, in addition to the black whistle, is defense.
Therefore, the Grizzlies are still the same old routine, forcing Divac to stay away from the basket through the small player's ball-holding cut, and then handing the ball to Brad Miller or Raheem to respond to the offense, and the small player slips through the back door and goes to the baseline.
This time, Raheem received the ball and then cooperated with Sean Marion to make a hand-to-hand cooperation, Sean Marion jumped into the penalty area and jumped up.
With a bang, a slam dunk, and the Grizzlies scored another 2 points.
The Grizzlies' offense went well, in McBlin's words: "In just two offensive rounds, the Grizzlies scored four straight points to give them a 4-0 lead over the Kings, and in the Princeton game, they also had a two-point lead." ”
The King's offense, Rick Adelman directly passed the adjustment to the court, they increased the number of screens and pick-and-rolls, relying on screens and pick-and-rolls to crack the Grizzlies' pseudo-joint defense, the effect was good, and the Kings scored quickly.
Jason Williams cut around the screen with the ball and got a chance that the Grizzlies pounced on the defense and formed a pinch shot, but it missed Webb.
Jason Williams then made a flashy back-to-back pass, and Webb hit a two-pointer from mid-range to tie the game 4-2 with the Grizzlies leading.
