The Grizzlies already led 9-6, and Phil Jackson still didn't take a timeout.

Phil Jackson didn't move, and Qiao Hai naturally didn't move.

On the court, Brad Miller continued to take the ball, AC Green didn't dare to put Brad Miller directly to get the ball high, he stood in front of Brad Miller, opened his arms, but took two steps back, as if to prevent Brad Miller's breakthrough.

Brad Miller glanced at the basket, the ultra-long-range two-point shot, Brad Miller has some accuracy in this position, but the accuracy is average, under normal circumstances, he will not choose to shoot in this position.

But in this game, Brad Miller felt that he was on fire, and the opponent put him two more steps in this position, and as long as he shot, he was 80% sure of the shot.

After thinking about Qiao Hai's words before the game: As long as you ensure the shooting percentage, you can shoot at medium and long distances.

Coach Qiao Hai said so, why didn't he vote?

Immediately afterwards, Brad Miller shot without hesitation, AC Green was startled, flew over, didn't touch anything, turned around and turned his head to look, hey!

The crisp sound of wiping the net, the basketball should enter the net!

The ball went in, it actually went in!

This means that this tall white center has a mid-to-long range!

AC Green was stunned, Phil Jackson on the sidelines couldn't sit still, 11:6, the Lakers fell behind by 5 points at the beginning, Phil Jackson was still not ready to call a timeout, but this time, he ran to the sidelines and shouted: "Ace, stick to him!" Don't give him another chance! ”

Phil Jackson didn't attribute all the mistakes to AC Green, because Phil Jackson also made mistakes, and the team didn't understand Brad Miller's style characteristics, so in the pre-game arrangement, Phil Jackson didn't remind AC Green to pay attention to Brad Miller's mid-to-long-range shooting.

Now, Phil Jackson knows, and naturally makes a hint.

AC Green also responded to Phil Jackson on the sidelines with an OK gesture, and now, AC Green has noticed Brad Miller, the big man is not a stupid big man, but a smart big man.

The game continues, and the Lakers have no major adjustments, only small adjustments, and small adjustments Qiao Hai does not need to respond, because Princeton tactics will automatically respond.

The Grizzlies' offense is still hot, scoring all sorts of points.

Brad Miller was targeted by AC Green, but his passing could still create chances, and AC Green could only stay in the high post, which led to the Lakers' continued lack of people in the low post, the Grizzlies continued to look for opportunities from the low post, and Raheem also scored consecutive points.

Later in the first quarter, Joe Hay replaced Sean Marion to enhance the threat of running off the ball on the perimeter.

The Grizzlies have sharpened their air cuts, their offense is smooth, and they have surprisingly been ahead of the Lakers.

This kind of lead is unthinkable to many people, after all, the Lakers are the Galaxy Battleship, and the Grizzlies are perennial bad teams.

However, some people believe that the Grizzlies' lead is only temporary, and the Lakers have not yet made a move.

At the end of the first quarter, Phil Jackson's patience finally reached the limit, walked to the sideline, and called a timeout.

At this point, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 6 points at 20:14.

There were 3 minutes left in the first quarter.

"We've given Sharif Abdulahim too many chances, their low position is too lenient and we need to make changes......"

Phil Jackson obviously saw the problem, but he felt it was tricky to adjust, and after thinking about it, Phil Jackson directly changed their defensive strategy: "We don't play pseudo-joint defense, we play man-to-man, each defending against each other, Ace and Shaq switch defenses, Shaq goes to defend Raheem, Ace goes to defend Brad Miller." ”

People are staring at people, they are staring at their own people, and they change guards when they encounter cover, such an adjustment, Phil Jackson is obviously forced to helplessness.

After the timeout, the Lakers' defense was a little better than before, at least after the Grizzlies cut into the air, the ball was turning to the low post, although they could find opportunities, but the chances were not as good as in the first half of the first quarter, Raheem would always encounter defense, but sometimes it was misplaced defense, so the Grizzlies could still score.

It's just that scoring is much harder than before, and the shooting percentage is not as good as before.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers pulled back a little bit, and at 23:27, the Grizzlies led by four points to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, both sides came off the bench.

The Lakers' bench is very strong, Qiao Hai knows this very well, Phil Jackson directly replaced, let AC Green play center, Robert Horry and AC Green partnered inside, the small forward is Bruce Bowen who broke out in the last game, and the backcourt is Kobe Garderick Harper, such a set of substitutes, Kobe, Bowen, and Horry are all starters, and Derrick Harper is old, but he also has the ability to start.

The Grizzlies' second team features point guard Chancey Billups, shooting guard Ragabel, small forward Maddy, power forward Sean Marion, and center Rasian Nestelovic.

Maddie didn't play much in the first quarter, scoring only 5 points, and Raheem, as the main attacker, scored 13 points and performed well.

Therefore, Qiao Hai chose to let Maddie continue to play and vent the energy that was not played in the first quarter.

The Grizzlies' second lineup is not bad, mainly because of the clear division of labor, Maddy is the main attacker, Billups controls the rhythm, Sean Marion cooperates with the air cut, Ragabel guards the bottom corner, pulls the defense, and Nesterovic responds with a high position and organizes the offense.

In this way, the Grizzlies in the second quarter continued to play Princeton tactics, and the firepower was not even worse than in the first quarter.

Playing and fighting, the Grizzlies extended their lead again.

Maddy was the main offense, and Kobe Bryant tried his best to defend, but in the face of the Grizzlies' various blocking and dismantling covers, as well as the sudden empty cut and running back door, Kobe Bryant couldn't prevent Maddie alone, so he was fighting, and Maddie in the second quarter was super god again.

Qiao Hai was pleasantly surprised by the progress of the game, and looking at it this way, Qiao Hai didn't even need to use other props to win the game.

What was even more surprising was the media reporters and commentators, who commented on the game were Cherry Miller and Ernie Johnson, of which Cherry Miller often commented on the Grizzlies' games, last season, he watched the Grizzlies' games are almost vomited, last season's Grizzlies under the coaching of Bryan Hill, the tactical play is always Raheem's mid-range singles, points or shots.

As a result, the Grizzlies averaged only 88.9 points per game last season, ranking sixth in the league in offense, and only five teams had worse offense than the Grizzlies, including the Knicks and Hawks, two major defensive powerhouses.

So, it can be seen that the Grizzlies' offense last season was so bad that it was like vomiting.

But this season, after watching almost two quarters of the game, Cherry Miller couldn't believe it: "When did the Grizzlies' offense get so good?" They actually pressed the Lakers for almost two quarters! ”

Ernie Johnson once criticized Qiao Hai, but now, he also has to be convinced by Qiao Hai.

"I have to say, Qiao Hai is an offensive genius, he created a set of triangle offense with the Lakers, many people say he relies on superstars, but this season, he has nothing in Vancouver, but he still creates a Princeton offense!"

The name of the offensive genius, the current Qiao Hai is completely deserved, and before, McBlin also said the same thing.
