Chapter 217: Alternative Shark Chopping

After the pause, the game resumed.

Phil Jackson sat back, Qiao Hai also sat back, NBC TV always did not forget to give Qiao Hai and Phil Jackson the camera, because they knew that the protagonists of this game included the two coaches on the sidelines, and their every move decided the outcome of the game.

On the court, the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant resolutely singled, and the Grizzlies also resolutely wrapped.

But this time, instead of shooting, Bryant chose to pass.

The Grizzlies' defense was torn apart, and Bryant's pass to Derrick Fisher, who received the ball and shot, missed the three-point shot.

Inside O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a rebound.

The Grizzlies' offense, Chauncey Billups controlled the tempo, they also wanted to play fast, Billups held the ball and went straight to the frontcourt, a break to attract the defense, and the ball was distributed to the outside.

Maddie catches the ball and makes another break to shake off Bruce Bowen, but Bryant quickly pounces from the other side.

Two breakaways, two timely supplements by the Lakers, and the Grizzlies' idea of playing fast and fast was shattered.

Qiao Hai on the sidelines didn't care, Phil Jackson was able to bring out a Bulls dynasty, no matter how bad the on-the-spot command was, the Grizzlies' opening fast attack played a piece of the sky, Phil Jackson couldn't have no reaction at all, if he didn't react, he would be a mediocre handsome, so the Lakers made adjustments on the defensive end and curbed the Grizzlies' fast break is also what it should mean.

So, after the timeout, the Grizzlies continued to try Kombat, and it was reasonable that they failed.

After two breakthroughs and no chances, Maddie was caught in the middle and chose to split the ball.

Outside Sean Marion moved sideways to catch the basketball, made a three-point shot, and missed.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound in the basket, and after the pause, O'Neal's protection of the rebound was attentive, which shows that Phil Jackson's spit is still very useful, at least arousing O'Neal's fighting spirit, all kinds of shouting and scrambling for rebounds, Brad Miller, who is not good at protecting rebounds, is not O'Neal's opponent.

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal singled forced a hit, and at 10:12, the Lakers chased back 2 points.

Then, it was Grizzlies' possession again, Chauncey Billups controlled the ball, made a gesture, and the tempo plummeted.

Brad Miller responded slowly to the offense from a high position, and Maddy rushed to the mid-range position to catch the ball and shoot a dry jumper, scoring 2 points to make it 14:10.

Then, Kobe Bryant singled, and Maddie reflexively defended a single ball.

Sean Marion grabbed the rebound, the Grizzlies counterattacked with a fast break, or Maddy, who scored a throw in the chaos, 16:10, and the difference returned to 6 points.

Kobe Bryant's face is as black as the bottom of the pot, these two defenses are attacked, Maddie scored 4 points, and prevented one of his singles, someone will always pull Kobe out to compare with Maddie before the game, and the result of the comparison is naturally Kobe Bryant's defeat.

This ongoing match seems to confirm that.

Maddie has scored 9 points on all four shots in the opening game, while Bryant has not scored so far, and has hit all the iron on several shots.

As a result, Kobe Bryant also lost his temper, and singled with the ball in a row, and finally scored one of his two shots.

The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency went down, hitting two consecutive shots.

The margin narrowed to 4 points.

But then, the Grizzlies' offense exploded.

First, Billups received the ball in the air to attract a pinch shot, and the ball went to the outside, and Sean Marion stepped across the three-point line to shoot a shot.

Brad Miller then gave Maddy a cover at the top of the arc, and Maddy rushed to the box with the ball and dunked.

Finally, in another offensive round, Maddie arced the top single, moved sideways and scored three points.

The Grizzlies scored seven points in three offensive rounds and were extremely efficient.

On the Lakers' side, in the same three offensive rounds, Kobe Bryant hit one, a mid-range turnaround jumper, and scored.

O'Neal hit a missed shot, and another ball was a split shot after O'Neal drew the bag inside, and Robert Horry hit a long two-point iron from the baseline.

In this way, in a total of six rounds, the Grizzlies won 7:2, winning the Lakers by 5 points, and the score in the first quarter also came to 23:14, and the Grizzlies led by 9 points.

In desperation, Phil Jackson could only call another timeout.

After some adjustments, the game continued in the first quarter, with 5 minutes left on the clock, and the Grizzlies also made a substitution, Mike Bibby came on and played double control with Billups, Maddie moved to the No. 3 position, Sean Marion topped to the No. 4 position, and the center was still Brad Miller.

This substitution, Qiao Hai's idea is very simple, use dual control and add Maddie to give Rahim a certain amount of rest.

In this way, the Grizzlies can start the second quarter with an energetic Raheem, and then partner Mike Bibi and El-Boikins' new dual-control combination, and the Grizzlies' offensive firepower is still ferocious.

Phil Jackson also guessed Qiao Hai's thoughts, and after hesitating for a long time, he took Kobe Bryant down and replaced him with Scott Pippen.

This substitution, the court immediately became O'Neal's single-handed, Mediga Grizzlies' dual-control combination.

Qiao Hai also saw the opportunity quickly, and directly made a temporary adjustment: "Chaunse, let them impact the basket more and make Shaq's foul!" ”

O'Neal already had one foul, thanks to Brad Miller, who gave O'Neal an offensive foul with a suspected fake fall.

If O'Neal is fouled again, O'Neal will be fouled twice in the first quarter, and Phil Jackson will most likely be forced to replace O'Neal.

This is also a substitution law in the NBA.

If a player commits two fouls in the first quarter, even if they are in foul crisis, the head coach will normally replace the player who committed two fouls in case he gets a third foul.

Six fouls in the whole game will leave the court, two fouls in a single quarter can be tolerated, if you eat three fouls in a single quarter, it will be dangerous, and then as long as the opponent deliberately seeks physical confrontation, the referee will always blow one or two, blow one is four fouls, blow two is five fouls, and then one will leave the court with six fouls, and the player who is in a foul crisis will be considered invalid in this game.

Therefore, the head coaches have formed a law of substitutions, and two fouls in the first quarter will be replaced.

On the court, the Grizzlies hit the inside, Chauncey Billups rushed first, and was directly attacked by O'Neal, but it made the Staples Center cheer, and the Lakers were suddenly like a rainbow, chasing 5 points in a row, and the difference was close to 4 points.

Then, the Grizzlies' possession.

Brad Miller responded highly, Mike Bibby received the ball with a spiritual reverse run, Derek Fisher was shaken, and when he turned to chase the defense, Mike Bibby had already accelerated and rushed into the inside.

O'Neal made up for it and blocked it.

Mike Bibi didn't even think about it, and raised his hand to make a move, very reluctantly.

But he leaned forward and touched O'Neill.

With a beep, the referee's whistle went off immediately, and Mike Bibby glanced at the ball at the same time, but the ball didn't go in.

The whistle blew, and Qiao Hai and Phil Jackson on the sidelines stood up.

Qiao Hai was ecstatic, and Phil Jackson frowned, staring at the referee on the field.

The referee pointed his hands at O'Neill: "Defensive foul!" ”

All of a sudden, the Staples Center booed.

Qiao Hai turned his head to look at Phil Jackson, but Phil Jackson did not make a substitution.

On the court, Mike Bibby walks to the free-throw line.

When Mike Bibby made free throws, Phil Jackson kept hesitating, replacing O'Neal? Or not to change? That's a problem.

Qiao Hai is relaxed here, whether Phil Jackson changes or not, the Grizzlies will have the advantage.

Phil Jackson substitution, he can only choose to replace O'Neal, and then replace Kobe Bryant to maintain competitiveness on the court, so that Qiao Hai will make substitutions at the same time, pull Gabel, clamp Kobe, and then win as a whole.

If Phil Jackson doesn't make a substitution, it will be even simpler, and the Grizzlies continue to attack the interior, seeking confrontation and killing O'Neal.

This trick is an alternative shark slashing, but it kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 yourself.
